on horadori institute / take-aways and a.ini divergent .
i think my next big post for mi.zuki will be going more in detail about horadori institute and the things i took from it and what i didn't . like i said, i think the way uchi.koshi treated miz.uki in a.ini was absolutely horrible and this is a running trend with his sequels, that isn't to say i don't enjoy his games, but talk about getting a constant short end of the stick. i addressed that salt here and am going to mostly have it involve s.hoko , three years 'visiting' horadori and never going to aioen , bi.bi makes no sense so she isn't in my canon - and the experiments did happen , but mi.zuki, due to the massive trauma on her psyche from it, and she literally was three when it was over, so three years of 'doctor visits' (via shoko wanting to make mi.zuki 'normal' and not 'abnormal' as she tells d.ate) , blocked it all out via repression and as of now has no memory until i involve her investigating it .
not sure if i want mi.zuki to remember that or not just yet , it'll just be like my years writing her , something that evolves . the biggest factor is she isn't immortal, has minor regenerative abilities, her gunshot wound is a trauma wound so that won't heal but not MUCH regeneration, and a lot of her supernatural / overpowered combat ability / athleticism is due to horadori as much as it is mi.zuki training at a young age since d.ate recognized her inhuman / godlike strength.
for sure, i'll keep that each year mi.zuki , as the 'reports' from chikara said , will grow stronger each year. which is a nightmare if she wasn't on the side of good, albeit chaotic good . for now that will be a major point in my verse for her that deviates from ai.ni save for a.iba as her partner, and with dread and uh, hope somehow this is fixed ( ??? can it ??? ) eventually having her own , but unpopular opinion i like mi.zuki and a.iba as much as i do d.ate and a.iba. they're just different dynamics but all three are family.
anyway . . . i have nothing against u.chikoshi save how he treats his female characters, or divides them into like...three archetypes , or completely destroys their foundations in sequels, which i've noticed in both his major series . he builds a good base for some of them , but seems to prefer his twists, which can be quite good, or quite, quite bad, and intentionally or not i just got the vibe that he really could not stand mi.zuki not even enough to make her the lead in her own game .
and this is with all the love for ryu.ki but this has happened in z.ero escape, and it's repeating in a.itsf / a.ini. mi.zuki deserves better, and ki.zuna and a.mame and ir.is, hi.tomi, etc -- i really hope this changes at some point , but i don't want to be bitter about games that i still very much enjoy especially OG AI1, and turn that frustration and disappointment into my own sandbox.
so yeah next topic will be how i probably handle horadori institute , as i'm already deviating from ai.ni entirely save for a few elements !

Originally, Black Friday sales were a way of clearing out old stock to make space for the next version coming out just in time for the holidays.
This isn't the case any longer as christmas has been creeping into earlier and earlier in the year AND the difference between releases is decreasing, AND the releases are spaced throughout the year.
So currently, these sales exist purely to make you buy shit.
Consequently, there's no real reason for the stores to lower their prices because they don't actually need the space for new stock.
They will however try to make you believe that you're getting a special deal because the so called "sales" exist PURELY to get you to buy more shit.
SO... they'll mark up prices, sometimes in advance, to try and trick you into believing you're paying a discounted price when you're actually paying full, sometimes more than full, price, to encourage you to buy more shit.
"It's such a good deal, it's 30% off!"... No it's not.
It used to be 300, then they raised it to 500, now it's 350 with the "discount".
That's actually 117% the original price instead of the 70% they say you're paying.
Some countries... that's fucking illegal you know.
So... yeah...
I'm fucking proud to see posts on social media of people going over this and explaining this and telling on this, but even more than that, I'm genuinely impressed to see posts where there's images of piles of product that stores fully expected to sell to you at full price while pretending a discount's involved in any way and people just weren't buying it.
I mean, I know the rising cost of living makes it even easier to skip the new tv at an inflated price that's been then marked down to over the original price, but still.
It's beautiful to see the lies rewarded with the response they're fairly owed.
Nothing.

Reprieve Part 3 Progress Update under cut~
(Don't mind me 🥺 I've since privated the posts where I mentioned taking a small break a couple of weeks ago, so I'm just reiterating an update I had given back then for anyone popping in to check on the comic!)
Thanks for your guys' patience while I've been taking a small break from drawing and Tumblr! Ya gurl is hopefully back to doing her best to be unbothered, focused, and thriving in her lane 😌✨
I had previously said that I'd try to get Reprieve Part 3 up before the end of January but considering that I only really began getting back into my art and personal projects in the last couple of days, it's looking more like I won't get around to finishing and posting until about mid-to-late February 😅
But the script is fully finished, the panels are drafted, and the storyboarding is finally in progress 💪 finally inspired, motivated, and chugging along with this mfer 😤💕

Hey, Dunmeshi Ao3 writers. Especially the Labru/Laichuk/Mithbru writers.
You do know you DON'T have to tag Marcille/Falin in the relationship tags of your fics?
Especially if your story is mostly just center on Laois/Kabru or Laios/Chilchuk or etc. If the girls are just mentioned to be dating or something and not even remotely really part of the story you really don't have to clutter up the Marcille/Falin tags with the fic if it's not about them.

Oh no somebody seeing my lovesong art and saying “apparently this is DnDads it looks cool I love this stuff”
I’m so sorry stranger, this podcast actually isn’t about a trans princess on an epic quest, grappling with the guilt of her actions, reconnecting with her family, and falling in love with the prince of hell. That’s a secret subplot only some of us have noticed and unlocked
