Alcorin

It's been a while since I've visited this place, mostly due to life being kinda crazy lately... So what made me visit today? An e-mail notification about a PM I've apparently received from a pornbot. Like I didn't have to deal with enough of this crap on Tumblr, what the hell -,-" (Hope y'all are having a good time, btw. Can't wait to have the time to read and rant about some VNs again )

I've reread Hakuoki when both parts of Shinkai came out on Steam... Or rather, I'm still rereading it, because I only read 1-3 routes every few months XD And I'm taking it so slowly precisely because it's just as good as I remember, so I don't want to rush or be done with it too early. As someone mentioned before, it really is like coming home to old friends (especially since it was my first VN). The fact that they've added 6 more character routes (one of which I was praying for ever since I've first read Hakuoki) makes it even better <3

I like books. I like video games. 'Nuff said.

Weekends mostly. Sometimes during the week, either after or before classes, but I'm usually too busy/tired then. The time of day just depends on my mood and the sort of story I'm reading ^^

I try to only do one at a time, but the truth is that, unless my hyperfixation kicks in, my attention span is pitiful So I usually have 2-3 big things going on and a myriad of smaller ones that I can finish in 1-2 sittings ^^

I don't play nukiges either ^^ Eroges, sometimes, but I usually go for an all-ages version then. Sex scenes just make me uncomfortable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll stomach them if they're important for the plot or characterization, but since that's not the case 9 times out of 10... As for what I do read, I like otome, BL, yuri, mystery, and horror <3

I'm back home, which means that I can show you the relics of the era when I still read manga. Yay! Wow, that sure brings back memories...

Why, thank you ^^ They're definitely better than anything I remember having in my childhood. Kids these days have it too good when it comes to quality toys XD

I'm afraid that it's not a collection just yet, as I have literally only two dinos at my hands right now ;w; Maybe when I get to my family house on the weekend I'll find some of my old stuff to bring back, tho If it didn't get thrown away, of course. My parents never liked dinos much. Right now the only thing I can show you are those Ramphorynhus and Coelophysis I've bought today:

Looks like I'm back to figurine collecting But no, not the cool (and expensive) anime figurines - I mean dinosaur figurines. Yes, really. I'm regressing back to my 8-year-old self, Lord have mercy... Damn you, YT science channels, for re-sparking my interest in paleontology! >:( I can't help it, they're so cool... ;v;

Ooh, a fellow sailor! Welcome, welcome! Hope you'll have a jolly ol' time with us here

Got Makoto's ending in sweet pool. I just wanted him and Youji to be happy together, I did not expect this... Fuck. What the fuck So I am to understand that the only happy(?) ending I can get is with Tetsuo? Ugh. Gotta say, don't like the guy all that much... He was kinda cool in the beginning, but now I'd rather keep my distance. Oh well. I hope he'll prove me wrong. MakoYou is always going to be my favorite, tho. And no, I don't care what the canon has to say about it.

Reading sweet pool got me in the mood for some In This Moment...

Wait, we have a Discord server? Good to know

Happy New Year y'all! Enjoy the fireworks

Hey, y’all mind if I whine about needless shock value for a bit? Thamks. I’ve just started Deathdays End as a break from Clannad’s slow slice of life (I’ve gotten a tad bored of it, whoops), I’m only about an hour in, but I’ve got beef with one (quite spoilery, so beware) scene. So! In the first scenario, one of the main characters finds this little girl, right? She’s about 8 years old, has no family (as they all got wiped out in the mini-pocalypse that had just befallen the world) nor friends and will most probably not survive a day in the state that she’s in, so he takes her with him. I thought, cool, maybe they’re setting up a The Walking Dead-esque thing with those two, like, the guy is going to take care of and protect the girl, and there’s going to be a growing relationship between the two, maybe some drama, and we’re going to have some cool themes to explore… But nope. Half of an hour in, the girl just ups and does a Sayori. And I’m just like… what? Why? Why the fuck did that have to happen? There was no build-up, no real reason behind it, it just came out of the left fucking field… At this time, I really think that it was done purely for shock value - “ooooh look, the poor innocent little girl just hanged herself, isn’t that horrible?! Don’t you feel bad?!!”. Like… no. I mean, I do, but not for that reason. I just feel… Cheated, I guess? Or maybe disappointed would be a better word for it? It’s just such a transparent attempt to shock the reader and make them feel sad, it just makes my teeth grind. Am I too harsh? I don’t think I am. This whole mess is pretty much this scene: (Btw, I recommend Terrible Writing Advice, it’s a great show) Ok, I’m done with my ranting for now. I hope it gets better later on

I've had a lesson on all the hot new conspiracy theories from my grandma. Now I know everything about who is pulling the strings in the government, how corrupt is the church and why everyone is conspiring to destroy my country... Y'know, fun stuff like that Staying off alcohol can be hard sometimes...

Guys, please go and give Aki some love, I've found her channel yesterday and I can't stop laughing X'D This girl is great <3

Clannad update: I WANT TO GET OFF OKANO-SAN’S WILD RIDE That Sunohara route was… It was quite something, wasn’t it? Ooooh boy. I’m not even sure where to start. It may have been only my second route, but I hereby proclaim Mei to be Best Girl™ - cute, upbeat, hardworking, dedicated… She almost makes me wish I had a little sister myself ;w; She did not deserve any of that punishment she received for, you know, TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR HER BROTHER?! Holy shit, did those cunts at the soccer club made me mad Sunohara for the most part was annoying as well, but at least he got better by the end… Much better, actually ^^ I think I have a newfound appreciation for him, if that’s even possible at this point… I also liked the fact that it was more of a friendship route, really. So much so that I’ve got the urge to reconnect with my high school friends right now ^^’ Damn you, Youhei... Anyway, it seems like I’ve underestimated this novel. Sure, it drags on at times, but when it finally goes down to business, by golly, it can certainly punch ya in the gut Or maybe it’s just because I like the Sunoharas and Okazaki so much. It might just be it. I guess the best way to know is to press on and check the other routes as well, right? *nervous laugh* But only after I will have found the joke Youhei ending. I just need it right about now, ok? I promise that I’ll cool it with being an annoying fujoshi after that.

First route cleared! I decided to go with Miyazawa, a.k.a. Mother Teresa in a school uniform. It was ok. Yukine is a charming girl, that’s for certain. Just a tad bland for my tastes, that’s all. Kinda disappointed that nothing really happened during the route, too. Then again, I’ve heard that it’s one of the smaller “side routes”, so I hope that the other ones will deliver more on that front... I’m debating doing Mei next. I mean, she’s Sunohara’s little sister, can’t go wrong with that ^^ Yeah, I still love him and Tomoya XD A pair of fuckin’ idiot children, they’re great. I hope there’s some good fanfiction out there Oh yeah, since I’m at it: I’m really glad that this route didn’t turn into some love triangle drama, as I feared it would. I mean, I guess love triangles are ok if I’m the one making the choice, but to rival Sunohara would just feel… Wrong, you know? So kudos for that, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ On to the next one~! EDIT:

Now we can only hope and pray ;v;

Who would've thought that sloths used to be so awesome?

Top 10 Pictures Taken Right Before Disaster (I love this game so much it hurts uuuuuuugh ;w;)

...Is it bad to hope that they get fired? ;v;

Wasn't that precisely the thing that was NOT supposed to happen anymore? Make up your goddamn mind, Steam >:(
