+ I'll reduce my time using my phone in general too.

I'm NOT writing this to flex an "I'm not like the other girls" bs.

I'm writing this to inform my moots and others that if don't reply asap etc, it's bc I didn't see the messages. that's all. 😐
A bit late but here's a quick doodle for that Frieren meme #art challenge.

I'm kinda dreading the day I'll have to do a recap of the games I played this year...

About lads... I won't play it seriously to save or pull for cards btw. I just want replay fron zero the story.

I read a fic last night. Tags and premise sounded great. But I had no idea what the chara were talking about when they spoke names or ingame terms. 😅

For December my gaming goal are:

> Dragon Quest 8 3DS
(I played it before on ps2, this is more a replay but basically feels different since its been more than 15+ years since then. I played mostly visual lately so I'm craving jrpg)

> Love and Deepspace
(replaying the entire story from zero)

Oh yeah, I didn't understand that one bad end in Ruzi. Am I too innocent to understand 😅?

Anyways I'll check the novel short story in a more relaxed paces and next weekend. Right now I feel too much like 🦐 and eyes are tired to read more.

"Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling"🌺 #otome #review

I can't rate but, that doesn't mean I can't say my final thoughts of it.

Maybe I'm expoxing my trash taste for over the top romance lmao but, yeah I enjoyed this despite I didn't love it. There were too many interesting outcomes... (1)

Also I'm reminded of my otome on steam pet peeves:
I really dislike visual novels that doesn't recognize scrolling down (using scrolling wheel of the 🖱️) as move forward/next text.

I'm only missing Jigi(lowk never saw this guy), Uru and Ruzi ~

I played Crimson Flower that Divide today. All late afternoon and night to be exact.

It's a good idea replaying a jrpg I loved in my childhood more than 15 years later. I don't remember so many details and subplots,... It's like replaying knowing the main events yet not knowing 80% of the story.
November 28, 2025 at 10:52 PM
I'm taking a pauses from any genshin btw. I think for the rest of the year I'll just focus on 1 otome and replaying DQ8 3ds version. (it's a replay)

I just finished Broken Ties by J. Bree! #books

Book 7 of "Bonds that ties" saga (completed). It's an extra story. A retelling of the events of book 1 BUT, told from the love interests' point of view!

For those that don't know it's an urban fantasy reverse harem. (also my fav of genre fufu 🥰 ) +

Tonight we watched the movie:
Speed (1994)🚍🔥

My partner hit jackpot with this one (he picked it from a rec list)! Y'all IT'S AMAZING. Peak action ✨

It's an action and thriller movie about a policeman trying to stop a rigged bus by an extortionist. If the bus stop or go below 50km/h, it explodes.

Changed taste/preference can be so shocking.

My partner used to LOVE zombie, horror and thriller movie before going to bed but, in recent years he became quite a damsel in distress. It's fine ofc, but y'know I miss watching horror movies together... Watching them alone is scary 😅.

Next otome I'll do is Crimson Flower that divides.

Lmao I got this at launch and I kept dropping it. 😅 hopefully this is the last time I pick this up. I already did 3 routes 2 years ago. Because of low interest in replaying them & limited time, I prob won't make a review for this or rate it.
November 23, 2025 at 9:52 AM
My review prob made it look like i hate Battlefield Waltz.

On the contrary i loved it and compared it to a an 🍦. Something that's delicious but towards the end it gets even more savory to the point it sadden me that the story is over.

Yup, i 100% played 3 route today. ^^

I love weekends ~ tho for sure half of the reason this was possible is bf the last routes i did (Nike, Tifalet and Wilhelm) were well written and interesting ^^

Battlefield Waltz ⚔️💗 ✨ #otome review

⭐* Why 3.8 in ALT* ⭐

First the pros, bc there wasn't space 😅 : imo this is an otome that gets better the more you play. Initially, it's fine but generic with 2 dimensional characters BUT, the more i played, the more it felt "alive" and well thought. + (1/3)

Recently I've discovered The Smith (pop-rock band) and this lyrics from their song "Heaven knows I'm miserable", *laughs :')* really hits hard.

I wanna stop trying to earn others' approval and suffer/care about people that only aim to hurt me or are simply mean for no reasonable purpose.

I'll be taking some time off.

Sleep early, reduce phone usage, do some self reflection, doing yoga and meditating more frequently.

I've been busy with irl stuff and feeling stressed out... my anxiety is overtaking my daily life once again so much I'm getting few hours of sleep...

I've been using a handful of social apps and reading webtoons/manga/fics to distract myself but, I've realized it's been counter productive +
