was asked this by a stranger on Twitter, and I want to fully express my feelings on this.

first off, the answer to this is a big, huge, solid no.

I spend a lot of time formulating my thoughts into written words; writing analyses on my WordPress is a hobby of mine because I truly love reading BL visual novels and researching the history of it. it is absolutely not related to my primary occupation or training at all, I'm not being paid for this in any way, and it takes significant time and energy for me to write up paragraphs, edit them for clarity, and format them in a visually pleasing way. I don't enforce a schedule or post quota on myself because this is truly a passion.

of course I do collaborative posts with friends or help friends with their own content. but these are my friends I've known for many years and we have a strong bond. these are my friends who are just as passionate about the hobby as I am.

I'm not doing my WordPress for clout or for payment. I don't even have a PayPal or KoFi linked, or even a Patreon. whether or not I did, I would expect that if someone I'm not even familiar with were to ask me to help them write or write for them, I would expect some kind of gratitude at the least, and respectfully some kind of compensation.

I'm also not an authoritative voice on BLVN plot meta or history. as mentioned previously, this isn't my main occupation. I am of the philosophy that there are multiple perspectives on each piece of media. why ask me to help you on your post when we aren't familiar? you can write it yourself and have your own take on the story.

as of the moment, I am not interested in writing for others or doing this beyond my current capacity of it being a personal hobby and blog.

and another note, I do enjoy discussing plot meta with people, but I would expect there to be an exchange of ideas or discussion to take place rather than just being asked questions one-sidedly.

‘Slow Damage’ Route Guide [JP] and Mechanics Explanation

Slow Damage’s choice selection mechanics can be complicated at first, even with the tutorial at the beginning of the game. Like studying mat

I'm a lot more active on Twitter nowadays and I post longer stuff on my Wordpress (created 2021), but here's a route and mechanics guide to Slow Damage written up by me and @barudo

As this is prior to the release of the English version, this guide is currently focused on the Japanese 1.10 version. We will make an updated version with English version translated choices as soon as we've gotten through it ourselves! Enjoy~

We've just updated our route guide (from here) to include the official JAST BLUE localisation terms!

Original Japanese direct translation of "心理" to "Psychology" has been kept alongside the localised term of "Interrogation" for clarity, and the Japanese text route guide is preserved in a separate expansion tab from the English guide; both are still on the same post for people's convenience.

Special shout out to @barudo for doing a lot of the work here!

My Terrarium Life series~ 

I first started these drawings to celebrate all the fun things we can still do while in quarantine. 1 year later, and not much has changed lol And that’s when I realized I’ve always lived the hermit life.

The last image is the first one I made, back when toilet paper and Nintendo Switch were all sold out lol I dreamed of having both…

“i don’t understand how you just get so much stuff done under pressure and like don’t freak out” i just go into autopilot bro like i genuinely do not know what happens in high volume situations. i let my body deal with that shit. not for me

[greelin]

if you completely block off a whole portion of your mind you’ll find that it is actually quite peaceful and you can move very fast, almost ungodly so, and achieve a lot while feeling absolutely nothing

[greelin]

i have been informed that this is not how normal people process and handle stress.… . dam that shit’s crazy. sorry y’all have to deal with it in like a rational healthy way

Knowing that Japanese courts have a conviction rate of 99.9% really enhances the experience of Ace Attorney.

On one hand, it gives you the minimum context to understand that Ace Attorney was intended as a critique of the justice system in which it takes place—the ridiculous hoops you have to jump through, the over-the-top bloodthirst of the prosecution, the blind naivete of the judge. It gives the games more thematic weight, too. Phoenix truly is an underdog pitting himself against a system he knows he has little chance against. His belief in his clients' innocence is not merely a character trait, but a revolutionary act. It also emphasizes that Phoenix truly is a force of nature, to win as many cases as he does.

On the other hand, it makes the prosecutors' pride in their "win record" absolutely hilarious, and the fact that Phoenix breaks it even more so. Imagine spending 40 years bragging about how you have a perfect record of never being struck by lightning and then some bisexual idiot six months out of grad school casts Thunderbolt on your ass
