Note: It was written for the @skk-mixtape exchange for @cutie4me! It was super fun and cute to write dazai and chuuya as always. I love these two dorks.
For @monkey-banana41 for the @skk-mixtape event!! Beta read by @dreamlywritesshit :3
Summary:
When Dazai is stuck in another bout of emptiness and darkness, Mori decides to try out a new approach to waking the boy up.
But how well will that work out for everyone involved?

Hello everyone!
Some thoughts have been rumbling about the idea of a collaborative artist/writer project or event to help raise money for c
Note: Written for @aren for the sskk server gift exchange! Super duper big thanks to lily for beta reading it over 🥹❤️❤️ (i meant to post this on tumblr ages ago, but my brain forgot and let it sit in my drafts 🥲)
ahhh my favorite otomes! okay, i'll try not to write too much, but no guarantees 😅 i have a lot of favs 🥹 *takes a deep breath*
for jp ones (that haven't been translated into english):
juuzaengi - hot historical men in china is my thing <3 it's also got cats, magic, and fantasy, which i'm all a fan of. it has some very questionable characters in it, but uh, i'm not complaining 😗
reine des fleurs - super pretty art and some very questionable characters (the men and some other side characters XD). in love with the music and the voice acting. also violetta is one of my fav otome mcs.
toki no kizuna - hot historical men but in japan this time! more fantasy, but including demons 👀✨
black wolves saga - very dark, but i enjoyed the lore, the worldbuilding, and the plot. the music is also banger.
ayakashi gohan - this is a sol , but has lots of character introspection. it also has demons, fantasy, and lots of food, which makes my mouth water thinking about it 🤤
birthday song series - a game about life/death. it has some super cute, adorable moments, and the voice acting is superb. definitely has lots of feels.
for english ones (that have been translated/created in english):
cupid parasite - it's a little zany and can be outlandish at times, but i love the comedy and the wild scenarios the game has. the characters are unique, funny, and the premise makes for sweet delight. (it's got some angst cause there wouldn't be any without an otome game xP)
taisho alice - yurika is an interesting mc who has some controversy surrounding her, but i liked her spunkiness and guts. she isn't afraid to speak her mind, and some of the love interests could be quite scathing lol!! the dialogue can be on the memeish side, but i think it works for the game especially when the game itself has fourth wall breaking moments 😆 despite its fantasy/fairytale premise, it also has some dark sides (and the endings can really pack a punch).
ozmafia - the fantasy/fairytale setting combined with mafia (and rival factions) is one hell of a setting, but it somehow works out perfectly. it has dark moments and has some tws, but i really liked it a lot. (this one also has had me contemplating writing an au with the bsd characters. it seems perfect for them 👀)
psychedelica of the ashen hawk - jed is a stand out, fantastic mc, and the setting takes place during winter, so it's perfect for a christmas/winter season. the mystery and story behind this one is somewhat related to the first game (psychedelica of the black butterfly), but it can be played on its own.
even if tempest - giving big props to anatasia (the mc) who goes through some much and i feel for her every single time shit hits the fan. i'm a sucker for the villain, but all of the main guys are great. i have a soft spot for tyril who is a big tsundere 🤭 i also love the mystery and the lore.
charade maniacs - some people aren't a fan of the music, but i love the electronic/dj feel to it. i also like the futuristic setting, and the premise of death games/scenarios is super interesting to me. the art is great, and the characters are near and dear to my heart.
9rip - i think this game tugged at my heartstrings even more so because i related a lot to misa, the mc, of the game. the guys also had in-depth stories, which had me invested every step of the way. the art slaps hard.
dark nights - an indie english game that is made by one artist/writer. it has a horror, mystery vibe that isn't present in many otome games, so it's cool to see it come to life! it was also recently revamped with new art (i haven't played the newer version yet).
i apologize that i wrote so much 😅 i have a lot to say about otome games 🤣
i'd love to know what your favorites are too!!! 🥰💖 (and i'm always down to talk more about otome games 🥺💕)
