Just finished Aoi's route in ToHeart!!! Ahaha, I've been really focusing in on the things I'm reading lately...? I don't entirely understand, but I will take advantage :D

Ahhhhh she really is so cute though...~~~ When she first showed up I just had to have the protagonist go help her out, and then the story just unfolded so naturally I found myself on her route even though I was planning on doing Serika first...! But she's sooooo cute and polite and sweet and heartwarming and also she could beat Everyone up :DDDDD

It's kind of a rare character type for a heroine, I think? Usually the tomboyish types are more down to earth and friendly and familiar. Instead, Aoi is kind of shy (when she's not gushing about mixed martial arts) and doubts herself too much and is so very proper and formal and Follows The Rules and pure-hearted and Earnest...!! I really really like characters like that, especially when they're not a generic Main Heroine patient childhood friend type! And I also really like sporty and hot-blooded types who believe in all the sorts of things they say in shounen anime!!! So it's no wonder that I loved her so much :D (...come to think of it, doesn't everything in this paragraph describe Best Boy Kanzaki Souma, too...? <333)

And the romance felt really natural once we got into it, too!! The protagonist of this game has a lot more personality than I expected? And sometimes he can be pretty teasing or grouchy about school and the like rather than being purely just a nice person. (Though I don't mind protagonists like that!) He was clearly drawn to Aoi from the beginning, and he did have a little pre-existing interest in martial arts, and he wanted to support her and help her achieve her goals just as much as I did...!

It's also kinda funny to me that in a lot of ways he was basically her cheerleader? Or, like, the cute sports club manager type character...? I mean, he did end up training with her after a little while, but it's still very clear at the end that he's got a long way to go to beat her :'D But I thought it was interesting that in motivating her and trying to be sensible when she wants to train too hard and the like - stuff I more associate with female characters - she described him as being, like, Steady and Reliable: like her Rock. Very masculine!!! Not complaining: just thought it was an interesting thought, heh.

And it did capture well that overall sense of like... youth, and making bonds, and young love. :) It's entirely generic in its content, bar the surprise factor of this cute little kouhai being a mixed martial arts fanatic, but who cares?! Young love is a wonderful theme which deserves to be written about an eternity of times...! And this is a good example of it: mundane, and idealistic, and a little comedic at times, and impossibly sweet. <3

I also still really love the art style...! It really is immersive, the way they utilise the camera angles (but they're also not afraid to cut away or try more poetic shots from time to time) and it just - adds a bit more visual interest...? I think that's part of why I could concentrate on it so easily! They add a lot of nice lighting effects that really ramp up the idyllic atmosphere, but don't go overboard IMO! And I love how the eyes are so starry...~ And ahhh, Aoi's hair is such a perfect shade of periwinkle in the sunlight...!! <3

Next up, I should proooobably go back and do Serika properly, heh. (Even if I already feel bad at the prospect of not helping out Aoi... :( ) I don't think there's anyone in the cast I'm not at least somewhat looking forward to reading? I definitely want to check out Multi at some point - she seems to be the most iconic character from the game (and the easiest to find merch for!) but she's similar in several ways to Aoi so I want to mix it up a bit first. (And of course I totally veered around the really popular character to the not-so-popular one instead, ahah... n.n;;)

I'm happy I bought it 💖

[16/07] 🎊💴🎊HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIZUKI AND KAREN🎊🏐🎊

I was in a good mood today so i wanted to make a birthday cake! granted, it doesn’t looks very appealing but it tasted good 😋

i wanted to make a New York style cheesecake (karen goes there after graduation) and some croissants on the side (mizuki’s favorite) but too much work 😔

kouichi is my favorite romantic target, but Karen is undoubtedly my favorite character in this entire franchise. Plus her ending—although platonic— is so adorable = she asks if you’d be willing to travel to New York with her AND she says “It has to be you! If it’s not Bambi it won’t work!” uuurrrggghhh i was SO hyped 😭

Mizuki is my second favorite girl in GS1 (first one is Shiho) i have a weak spot for the ojou-sama archetype 🤭

Playing this game has been so much fun and the visuals are so absolutely stunning that I couldn’t help but draw my favorite pair so far ✨👠💙🕊️

[astral-love-illusion]

it has been so long since i have posted anything on here, but whatever. i've had something on my mind for a while now and i have finally decided to write about it.

said something on my mind is Walpurga, because her story is something which i find to be so important to what LGTS has to say about the condition and the lives of women in that kind of society, yet something which i think has been overlooked or, at the very least, underdiscussed by most players/fans of the game.

as a warning: this post will discuss/mention things such as forced pregnancy, rape and toxic/abusive parent-child relationships under the line. also Little Goody Two Shoes spoilers, which have already been mentioned in the tags, and disturbing imagery, which is already present in the game. if you really don't want to see any of these, just skip past this post. otherwise, you can keep reading.

now, there are very few things we even know about Walpurga. we know that she is a supernatural entity represented by the woods of Kieferberg, who was once revered as a sort of protective entity and later as St. Walpurga, patroness of Kieferberg.

however, i want to particularly focus on what's going on between her and Ozzy, because one of the few things we know about her is that she does not like Him. the reason is evident: she, the woodland, was used as the grounds of exchange between Him and a human woman, who wished for a baby, something which Walpurga could not provide on her own.

it is made quite evident that she did not agree with this deal. it's also likely many other deals were made with Him in Kieferberg's woods without Walpurga's consent or input, but we know for a fact that she really disliked this one in particular.

that seems quite messed up in its own right. but it becomes clear just how messed up it is when you try to understand it in a more realistic or human way: Walpurga was forcefully impregnated and used a surrogate for an infertile woman against her wishes, receiving nothing in exchange, having her baby then taken away from her to be cared for by the woman who used her. that is fucked up. that is objectively fucked up. and it very much messed up Walpurga too. the language that she uses to describe this deal doesn't shy away from linking it to a form of rape/non-consensual impregnation either:

the image of the doe (which we know is one of the forms Walpurga can take) with its insides carved out is also disturbingly suggestive.

her physical form was literally used by Ozzy and Holle in order to create a baby, something which she could never do on her own, and then even that was taken away from her.

(the fact that Ozzy is/takes the form of a male entity is also quite important, despite being a minor detail, given how that puts into context the way He treats Walpurga, women and girls. the subjugation of women by men, their expected subservience to them, the distrust of women who "do not belong", these are all very important aspects of LGTS.)

again, this very obviously messed up Walpurga to some extent. how did it mess her up? besides her hatred for Ozzy and Holle, she also became... incredibly possessive of what she considered the one good thing to come out of this: Elise, her progeny.

now, Walpurga could not create life on her own. she could only nurture life that was placed inside of her. Elise's body was made from Walpurga's, though. a parallel could be made to how it technically takes two to make a baby, how eggs need to fertilised and all that stuff (explaining it in human, literal terms just drives home the point of how fucked up this whole thing is). therefore, when she finally created a child, she became obsessed with that fact, obsessed with the idea that she could create life. and she also became obsessed with the fact that the child was hers. she has a twisted sort of affection for Elise, but the way she loves her is... very much not a good thing.

she wants to be alive. she wants to live out the life of a human woman after she has been denied the sanctity of life or its creation. and so, she tries to live out those wishes through Elise, her child.

this can be compared to the very real situation of parents living their dreams out through their children, having a possessiveness over them with the excuse that they made them. the game takes this idea to its literal extreme, presenting it in a much more graphic and physical way: Walpurga straight up kills Elise and possesses her body to take what she never had, to live as a young woman and to be able to bear life in her womb.

now, most parents aren't this horrible to their children, but that doesn't mean there's nothing real in this representation. many parents feel entitled to their children's lives, their children's bodies, because "they made them". is what Walpurga does not similar, in a sense, to parents demanding their children have babies, demanding grandchildren, acting like having kids should always be the ultimate happiness for a woman? and sometimes, physical control or harm is not a hard limit for parents if they truly feel like what they want is so much more important. there are parents who will hurt their children and claim it to be for the greater good, who feel that this entitlement is simply proof of the close bonds parents and their children share.

the reason why Walpurga is important is because she represents a kind of mother. a mother that, for the longest time, had not been able to bear children. a mother that only finally had kids as a result of rape, purely for the wishes of another, being unable to even properly care for the child which she did not ask for, but still wanted. a mother which then desperately tried to create another, since the first was ripped from her. a mother which then tried to live out her life through her child, which she became obsessed with, but never truly cared for. she was used by others and then made her daughter suffer for her regrets. she is a character whose experiences, relationships and effects on other characters might resonate with people, who represents things which are very real and important in discussing the condition of women. that's why i wrote this incredibly long post, why i feel that, despite the simplicity of her construction, she is a very underrated character.

as a last note, it is also very interesting how Elise, if spared from the fate of being Walpurga's vessel and able to complete the exchange, would end up sacrificing her daughter for her wishes. the cycle continues. the only thing that can break it is the decision to not sacrifice the lives of others in the first place.

okay, that's it. i've spent a lot of time writing this. feel free to add whatever. bye.
