I’ve been taking part in [community profile] auctionsasthreatened, and it’s been a blast! …And terrible for my sleep schedule, since the six hour window where the start/end times of auctions take place in overlap almost perfectly with when I should be sleeping on work nights, but idc, worth it <3

But that’s not actually the main point of this post! During the auction for my own sign-up, a few people expressed interest in my Cinderella Phenomenon request—and specifically, in wanting to hear a pitch for the game. Words cannot express how delighted I was by the opportunity, so I did that—and ended up having an incredibly fun conversation with someone else who was also familiar with the game <3

Anyways—long story short, I decided I wanted to preserve said pitch on my dreamwidth as well. This is exactly what I posted to discord (outside of updating the markdown to html so that it would display properly & inserting the single [non-custom] emoji I used), meaning this was originally posted in a series of messages rather than being meant to be read as a blog-style post, though I think it still flows clearly enough.

    Reading: Books-wise, I’m a bit less than halfway through The Burning Stone by Kate Elliot. It is… a project. Oh, and I’m also slowly working through Copper Coins in tandem with the cnovel thread bookclub over at FFA. In terms of manga, I just read the first volume of Lovesick Ellie this morning, which was an absolute delight.
    Listening: Still High Rollers: Aerois! I took a break back in December to catch up on Fic Clique, my beloved, but then I went back on the Aerois train, and it’s one of the reasons why I’m making this update now.
    Playing: Nothing since my replay of Karma’s route in Cinderella Phenomenon last weekend. Though I did buy a copy of Evermore a couple of days ago, so maybe that soon?
    Watching: Mostly just journaling videos on Youtube. I’ve also been slowly, slowly watching Pluto with my brother at the pace of one episode a week and have been enjoying it thoroughly <3
    Writing: I think I’ve slowed down on the Three Sentence Ficathon fills, so nothing actively, technically.
I have such a long list of things I want to make entries about (most Snowflake Challenge-related, but not all), which is honestly kind of a delightful problem to have, considering the usual state of affairs! Today, I think I’m going to tackle a general media round-up, starting with that rapidfire version that I sometimes use (seen above), and then talking about all the little media-I’m-consuming-related things that I’ve been wanting to cover.

► It’s been a good long while* since I talked about my progress with High Rollers: Aerois! Like I mentioned above, I’ve reached episode 15, “The Ironwick Mystery”. (as in, I listened to the very first few minutes of part one this morning while doing the dishes).

*I just checked, and apparently the last time I made an update, I was six episodes in. So I’ve literally doubled my episode count since the last time I recorded my ongoing thoughts and reactions!

► In my last post, I mentioned that there was something I wanted to comment on in regards to Karma’s non-Lucette interpersonal relationships in Cinderella Phenomenon. beneath the cut )

► Finally, another update listing my fills for the [community profile] threesentenceficathon:


—Which may also be the last one? I’ve definitely slowed down, in any case.

This morning at work, I spent quite a bit of time musing over Cinderella Phenomenon, particularly in regards to some aspects of Karma’s route. spoilers for both karma and waltz’s routes beneath the cut )

I also had some brief thoughts on Karma’s non-Lucette interpersonal relationships that I was wanting to talk about, but I should be getting to bed, so I’ll shelve that for a potential another-post.

I replayed Karma’s route in Cinderella Phenomenon tonight, and—love, love, love. I still very much understand why his was my favorite back when I first played the game. beneath the cut )

Guess who just accidentally dedicated her weekend to playing visual novels. First it was Lake of Voices, then it was Cinderella Phenomenon. Two very different games—but I enjoyed both. I will say that Cinderella Phenomenon was more like the usual otome experience—but seeing as I love those type of games, that wasn’t a problem for me.

(I should mention that this game is actually for free, both on Steam and itch.io.)

I played the routes in this order:
Rod -> Karma -> Rumpel -> Waltz -> Fritz
