I hope Wi Hajoon keeps doing horror projects. He was so fun to watch in Midnight.

The Creep Tapes was a pretty ok streaming follow-up if you liked the main character. It gets disjointed in the last few episodes, but I like that they didn't change how weird he is about his 'connection' to his victims.

Has anyone watched Black Phone 2? Is it as gay as the first one? I know I could just check the ao3 page, but I don’t wanna spoil myself and it might not be accurate because the first movie already inspired quite a few fanfics.

i’m kind of obsessed with both of these movies for whatever reason. imo the second isn’t as good as the first but i kind of like it more if that makes any sense?? it’s a fun watch. but i don’t know if i’d say that it’s gayer than the first, especially because i don’t know what you consider to be the gayest part of that movie. you’ll have to be a little bit more specific.

>it's irksome how they put in all the time and resources for an entirely new intro that was completely unnecessary
It feels like something that could've been worked into the plot at a later date but the way it is now, both plot-wise and the sea of stars area feeling undercooked, it comes off as something that was rushed out early because some exec wanted it for the steam release.

it's already pride month let me roll for this homosexual NOW

Any lesser-known games you'd recommend?

What is everyone reading? Are you enjoying it?

I started 101 Methods of Suicide (Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou) recently. It hasn't really grabbed me yet, but thankfully, it appears to be pretty short. I can see the influences it had on another VN I really like, so I suppose it's interesting for that purpose.

I'm a little over halfway through ouji sama lvl1 (it's not very good kek) and I read a bit of MOON. because I thought the hero was kinda cute.

I'm in that zone of just waiting for titles I'm actually interested in to finish being translated. I kinda wanna check out friendly lab even if it ends up being lame.

I bought Club Suicide on release and I was really enjoying it but the glitches with the zooming in in characters and typos really bothered me so I couldn't really get past the first few scenes of the route I chose. Hopefully they release a patch asap, I really wanna play it but the fuck ups are just too much for me right now.

First nonna here. If the things you're saying are what you need to be content, then that's what matters. People change and what those things are can change too, but it should be for yourself and not because you feel like you 'should' be doing more due to some invisible metric. As long as you're able to live happily without causing undue harm to others, you're a responsible adult in my eyes.

Your fiance sounds like a nice person, so if you're truly worried about it you should just talk to him about ensuring you still have space for your own hobbies and interests. Most of my married friends found a status quo after their weddings, so give it a little time.

I'm the third nonna here for reference >>11822

>I suppose I just feel a little overwhelmed with the prep for it and haven't had any real downtime recently, I'm sure once the wedding is over that will clear up.
That's very very normal, and I didn't enjoy the planning process either. It usually gets a lot easier once the main things are booked, especially venue.

>"How will I find the time?"
It's hard with a job and other responsibilities, especially if you are overworked. But if it's just getting older, then life usually has a way of working itself out like it normally would. You're still you as a "real adult". Good luck! It gets better, and it might be good to talk to your partner if you haven't already. If even he doesn't get weeb stuff, he should understand that it's important to you.

>it feels like the bare minimum
Good enough for everybody.

I'm 90% sure I recognize one of the posters as a youtuber I'm familiar with. That's it, I just wanted to share that.

>a youtuber I'm familiar with
Which one?

TrentinArt. I'm pretty sure it's him whenever someone writes paragraphs about Ichi or trends in Shounen Jump. He's also an open fudanshi so it wouldn't surprise me if he used homothreads on /a/

Good taste, anon. Parasite garden rarely fails in the dark department. And good news for you: it’s getting an official (digital) manga next month.

DLsite. Plenty of circles produce pwp works, e.g. Love Voice has decent audio production. You can also go for 1-man circles like Evangelist. monoBlue works too but he tends to get a bit too rambling-y for my taste. AreaS, ASMRistZero, Sex Drive, Milky Spice,… always a safe choice desu. I especially like Meropure but they has some plot elements that can get pretty confusing if you don't know basic Japanese.

Where can I find them in the year of 2025?

I hit puberty pretty early and I hated having boobs so much I would wear multiple bras to restrict them. I was also one of the weird kids, tomboyish, chronically online etc. If I was American I'm pretty sure I would have trooned out, but in my country trans stuff is pretty uncommon irl so there wasn't much I could do even if I wanted to. At that time the whole 'truscum vs tucute' debate was a big thing online, but all the spaces i was in were luckily on the 'truscum' side who believed that you couldn't be trans unless you have actual severe dysphoria. I did some research thinking I might be trans but I didnt hate my vag and had no interest in having a dick so I gave it up and accepted I was cis woman after all. If I grew up in the current environment I definitely would have been a they/them for a while.

Wasn't a tif but almost became a gendie before logic took over and I snapped out of it.

I have a big chest I don't really want, ad had some complications with my body due to hormonal imbalances. I've always envied flat chested women (and I guess moids in extension) and wanted to be like them. I still don't like my big breasts, but i'm fine being a woman now. My gender isn't the biggest thing occupying my mind now.

I've been watching the new Kinnikuman anime since they announced a 3rd season and therefore it's likely that they will actually adapt the whole thing, and I've been enjoying it a lot.

I don't think I'll ever get used to how ugly Suguru looks enough for me to ship him with anyone, but I like how homoerotic the whole thing is - it's managed to be even gayer than the original run and Nisei. We literally have dudes going "I can't put this feeling into words" at each other lol.

Ep 1 seemed kind of plain to me. Ep 2 was far better and this guy grew on me. Excited to see where it goes

I've been thinking about this post but couldn't remember which thread it was in. I wanted to ask
>that worldbuilding autismo factor
What is this to you, nona, and can you think of a reason why Tourabu doesn't fit? Honestly I think I know what you mean and mostly agree, but that's why it's bothered me that I can't explain it. Is it that the historical events/characters are too rigid? But the franchise does bizarre shit like turning one into a possessed zombie puppet and making Okita momentarily a demon catboy.

I've made my own stories set in the universe, with saniwa OCs to ship about and my own elaborate takes on how Time Gov operate and its bureaucracy, but I've never felt that I could invent a swordboy OC. That part feels beyond me. Which is really markedly different from stuff like KemoFure and MLP where it was very easy to throw whatever the fuck fun colors you wanted together and not worry, those were incredibly freeing and inspired many people to participate.

Ignoring that element, I think Tourabu was never facilitated to take off in the west, so the types of people who'd make endless fanworks and prompt others to want in on things didn't appear. Once people learned of it, the character roster was already big enough to put off newcomers who already don't know Japanese history. Japan-side you have huge numbers of doujinshi and elaborate world building guides for people's individual honmaru, as well as multibook AUs and all sorts. But if you never got into swordboys you'd have no idea these existed.
