Earlier, when you bravely said you would convince Attorney Tae Su-mi in front of Ms. Han, I made up my mind to be brave and say this. What is it you want to say?
For those who play/have played Heir to Love and Lies (formerly known as Who Killed La Dama Roja) on Nix Hydra’s Fictif stories:
Is anyone else kind of annoyed that the paid choices in this story specifically seem to be actually necessary to read to understand the story?
Like in The Arcana or Last Legacy the paid choices are extras that you can unlock if you want more romance/expanded scenes, but in HtLaL the paid choices seem to happen whether you unlock them or not (for example: in Chava’s route I didn’t unlock one option to go pick berries and later the characters still talked about what had happened in the option as if I had unlocked it). And some paid options are integral to the mystery: like I didn’t unlock the option to talk to Val at the grandma’s funeral but afterwards the characters were still talking about what happened in the paid option as if I had unlocked it, but because I didn’t I had no idea what they were talking about (something about finding blood on a mirror?) Would have been nice to know since that’s not extra fluff stuff; that’s info integral to the story and solving the mystery, dudes!
Anyway; I do like the story other than that. And I like Chava and Sergio. Just a weird inconvenience I noticed that seems to be specific to this story. Last Legacy and Roadkill don’t have this issue and I haven’t played Two Against the World yet.
Absolutely. Especially when you had the opportunity to speak with the other people interested in the land. I would like to get all their opinions, but I do not feel like spending stars just to see them.
I have not written fan fiction in the longest time. (update:) I still write fan fiction, just on my other account. It’s in my bio!
(Felix Escellun x gender neutral Reader)
Felix comforts a reader with low self esteem.
...
“I’m a fool.”
“No you’re not,” Felix whispers and wipe the liquid from your face, “you’re anything, but that. If anything I am the fool.”
“I am literally the whole circus.” you can’t help but bark a laugh just as some of your words get caught up in your throat. “Am I crying?”
“You cannot tell?”
Honestly at this point I feel like all sensations have left my body. I can’t tell what I feel and it’s making me a bit angry not knowing what my body is trying to tell me. I can feel water on my eyes running down from my face into my red hands, but it feels just as if it’s raining outside. What is the difference? Felix places a hand on your shoulder and you flinch from their warm touch. You turn to face him, his eyes squinted in confusion or empathy? It is hard to tell through the blurred vision your eyes project back onto you.
He ask you why you're upset and you can’t give them a straight forward answer.
“I am just frustrated.”
“With?”
“I know I am a fool. I love making myself the joke sometimes I don’t care, but I hate it. Do I? I don’t care. But do I? I really do. I think I really do hate it though. I wish I could stop doing it unconsciously. As I fumble with mistakes I can’t help but think ‘gee I am such the idiot’ and laugh at myself. It hurts but it doesn't. It feels like I’m laughing at my internal hatred, but also giving in at the same time. I just... I just...” we sit in silence. Felix begins to reach for my other hand and squeezes it lightly.
“You can’t think but I feel the same way? I am so foolish with my magic. I had meant to bring someone I loved back and brought you instead. I can only imagine the stress and confusion you’re under and it is unfair...” he realizes what he is saying may come off as selfish and you sense it in his tone of voice. As Felix tenses he no longer looks you directly in the eye as he mumbles, “It is unfair for me to compare my failure with your current...state. It is truly my fault and only my doing!”
“Felix, my self deprecation habits has nothing to do with you bringing me into Astraea.” You can’t help but laugh as he looks back at you in shock, a bit blushed with confusion. “I just needed to rant about my Earthly problems; I really don’t mind if you can’t bring me back.”
Felix’s blush is only getting warmer as he averts his eyes everywhere but yours. His hands warm up as they still hold onto yours, loosening their grasp and become a bit...shaky?
“A-Are you cold?” You ask remembering you are sitting in the freezing rain. As you grasp what is happening around you, what was suppose to be a picnic bathing in the sun turned into bathing in the rain. The picnic towel beneath you soaked and once fresh hot bread has become a limp weight in a basket full of wet fruits.
Felix sneezes.
“Only a little bit.” His eyes finally meet yours with a limp smile as he averts them down again. “But I am the only one here with the mistakes and making a mess out of things. I am so sorry for my mistake...I’m the, as you say, clown .”
“We can be the circus together, just us two clowns. Clowning around.” to this, he bursts in laughter and you join.
“That would be absolutely lovely.”
“Now we should really hurry before we catch a a...achoo.”
...
Would clowns exist in Astraea? Question of the day.
P-please let me know your thoughts. I want to get back into writing again (as it was a great comfort of mine!) This is a side blog so if you have any questions please reblog with a question or dm me
I was confused as to why she did that to Utena but I googled it and kind of understood. It’s a lot to process and re evaluate all the episodes up to the final moment of Anthy’s freedom essentially. Why hadn’t Anthy reached out to Utena when Utena asked? If Anthy did wouldn’t she be with Utena (and “leave” the academy together) and avoid searching for her when Utena “left” the academy. It is just...a lot to think about.
I was disappointed for that reason and saw her as this empty shell until she attacked Utena proving she could do/act something on her own. Why didn’t she act to reach out to Utena? Maybe Anthy did reached out and I missed it because I was painting and watching the last episode but I am just yeah a lot to process.
I feel more pity on Anthy than anything, when she left to look for Utena I feel hopeful, but still kind of sad...
A lot of poc want to be cottage core, but most of the results for cottage core are of white people (which is fine, but like google it and there’s not much diversity in general :/ I just want to put out there that I am part of both the cottage core AND lgbt community (I’m nonbinary) ! If you want to chat I’m always open to!!
