[ID: When you have wanted to be wanted all your life, and then somebody wants you, it feels like cheating. It feels like eating something you are not supposed to eat, and you eat it too quickly, always afraid of your lover walking in and seeing it smeared all over your face, red, the damning evidence of your hunger to be wanted, and nobody wants to love someone too desperate to be loved, so you do your best not to be desperate, you walk in the harsh January sun with your hands freezing in your pockets and try to look like someone who doesn't want anything too much. Here's the thing, you want everything so much that you're like a ravine in the shape of a woman, taking in anything that seems like it could be love. End ID]

there are many factors affecting nuca’s fan culture and engagement level and character literacy, but one that stands out to me at year 5 is that none of the previous event stories have been formally released for free through the game itself—you can only read past events through reruns, or reread them after you have played new ones for the first time. and they only rerun events once, in the following year, and never again.

so if you started playing this year, unless you pirate, you have no legit access to the character interactions and growth from events from years 1-3. and this is made significantly worse by the card-locked chara stories, which you can’t access either because you have to wait for a special pull event which hosts them. you pull rerun cards with a separate paid currency than new cards. the rates are abysmal. ftp players are forced to pick a favorite and hope they can get every copy of that specific character, which means their pull success for the rest of the ensemble cast is circumstantial given that they’re only pulling on their fave chara events. which means they’re only getting a threadbare and spotty experience of the other character’s story.

pirated stories are out there for folks to find but that extra step is too much of a bother or insurmountable for many, because piracy literacy is also down—and in some regions of the world, the fan opinion around piracy is so low that they simply won’t. and that keeps the gacha exclusives profitable because people will buy duplicates for themselves before they will share with others.

this is to say that 1) piracy is not a priority for me re: nuca because i started playing shortly after the year 1 anniversary and thus through reruns and new events i have ‘kept up’ with the game and 2) i came on just in time to miss out on the rerun of the white day event, which i have no way of reading officially, even 3 years after it originally ran.

and for new players……unable to read past events from the year 1-3 peak of character development………….they literally just have less to work with and they’re taking these characters at face value with no context. no fucking wonder their takeaways are as if they’re playing a wholly different game. because they’ve missed out on 90% of the everything!

i think i should be allowed to quit my job and write gross and smutty fanfiction all day and still pull in a salary. i think it's a reasonable ask.
