17, 23, 27, and 30 for that otome ask meme~

17:Who is/are your favorite Heroines?

Answered!

23:Do you have a favorite “dere” type?

Tsundere~ The tsun level can’t be too high though, for example (sorry for using a manga) Tomoe from Kamisama Hajimemashita didn’t appeal to me. 27:What game(s) has disappointed you the most?

Jooubachi no Oubou. GOOD GOD. The demo looked so good, it had an original setting, lovely art, great seiyuu, interesting characters with well developed interpersonal relationships….but the original game story was an utter clusterfuck.When I played I was like1st half (mostly common route scenes)-Ooh, pretty art, nice world building and cool character interactions, so excited!2nd half (hakuoh route)-WHAT IN THE LIVING FUCK WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WRITING I DON’T EVEN???Read this review of Hakuoh’s route to get an idea of what i’m talking about.30:Describe your ideal Otome Game?

29 and 30, please.

29:Do you own any merchandise of your favorite character(s)?

More than I should lmao. Thank you for giving me an excuse to picspam lol (sorry about lots of recycled pics, there are so many that gathering them to take a pic would take too much time).

I guess everyone already knows, but my favorite character is Blood Dupre from hnkna, closely followed by Julius Money and the protagonist Alice Liddell. I do love all the characters so I have bought stuff (doujins, charms, straps, bromides) for most of them. The below pics show all my goodies but you’ll note that many of them are Blood’s XD

I also have an assload of bromides (go to this link, there are too many of them to fit in one pic) and a bunch of posters .

30:Describe your ideal Otome Game?

-Strong (mentally), logical-minded protagonist (bonus points if a little ruthless/pragmatic)

-Likeable and well-written love interests who may fall into popular tropes (I love my tsunderes) but aren’t simply DEFINED by them

-Fantasy/sci-fi setting with equal focus between general action/mystery plot and romance 

-60% comedy and 40% heartbreaking angst

-happy ending (yes I’m a sap BITE ME)

Though I also think that realism and complexity don't always exist simultaneously in characterizations (or in other story elements), and it's not always a problem to reduce realism as long as it's done with some forethought.  Sometimes simplicity is a good thing too, though I'm not so good with simplicity myself.  But I can and often do explore the realms of the psychologically unrealistic, such as what it might mean to have an unbreakable spirit.

New posters! Eeeeee~!

Thanks to my bro for helping print them

Personally I think the JuliusxAlice one came out best :) All of them are around 3 feet x 2 feet (except the BloodxAlice one which is 3 x 1.5 ) and each poster cost about 2.35 dollars to print. Here's an extra picture to indicate their size~
