New header update! 💜

and it's been a long, long time coming...

Don't hate me too much y'all BUT ...........

As much as I never thought Gavin would go, he did. And as much as I thought Luka wouldn't...

Also I know it probably looks wonky af, but I've had a purple theme on here for so long and sorta refuse to let it, the page tear border, and my galaxy desktop theme go haha. The original image was red af, so I edited it and threw in some shadows, lights, stars, etc. to make it look a little less boring. The color swap was done with a mobile app so... yea 💀

Explanations no one asked for, but here they are anyway:

It's not that I don't like him anymore, mind you. I've mentioned wanting a change for awhile as my mobile header is years old now.. but always felt bad about doing so. Ikerev has been discontinued for ages, so I'm unfortunately less attached than I originally was. It will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I'll always be salty about how Blanc, Mousse & Dean got absolutely shafted with their treatment.

My LnDS brainrot is mostly to blame for this (and also cause I bought her outfit you see there.. I'm trying to justify it ssshhh) but I've genuinely been playing for months and enjoying it, and have favored Sylus for long enough now that I thought he was worth the mantle. Silvio is still my icon (as of posting this), and Marius remains my navi. He also remains the home page on desktop, and Luka is the icon to the far right.

Gavin, Yukimura, Satan (om!), my avatars, and everyone else who came before them remain immortalized within my blog and in my heart. But sometimes you just need a little change. I still play/enjoy the Ikemen series and keep up with posts for it a ton. But mainly I just play Ikepri these days. Wanted to strike a balance between some of my top games (Ikepri, LnDS, ToT, TWST) lately.

I always feel weird about change, but especially knowing that LnDS seems to be something people love or hate, I just hope we can still all be otome pals and gush over a variety of games together.

Love y'all, love this space, and I wish you all the best now, going forward, and always 💜
