{day twenty-five of #bellesbdaychallenge: 
childhood friends to lovers ♡}

childhood friends to lovers is not one of my favourite tropes 🙈 I often find that I get frustrated with it and think it's the character's own fault that they get friend-zoned because they're too slow to act haha 🐢

but, there are obviously exceptions where I have really enjoyed a childhood friend route 🎐

one of my favourite otome games, Nightshade, has two childhood friend LIs―Gekkamaru and Kuroyuki―who are practically brothers to the protagonist 🌸🤍 Kuroyuki ended up being one of my favourite best boys 🥺

he's mischievous, a little childish, has yandere tendencies (❤️‍🔥) but would rather die than lose the protagonist, and his backstory is so sad 😭 Shimono Hiro is one of those seiyuu that I adore, but the roles he's known for most are not the ones I'd say are his best; Kuroyuki is him at his best 🫶🏻

how I wish there was more merch of this game, but I should already be glad I got my hands on the artbook 😌🩷

(a few days late, but life/work has been busy so I didn't get round to posting 🍃)

now I don't know how to top what I wrote on my previous Orlok post haha 💌

but, happy birthday my darling 🍰🌷 may your days be as wonderful as you are ♡ 

another year gone by, another year with Orlok as the reigning champion of my heart 💝 (and a firm grip on my wallet, chasing down all the merch that exists of him 🫠)

{day twenty-two of #bellesbdaychallenge: 
artbook = happiness + I care about long hair ♡}

combining both prompts for today 🌾 now, ironically, I don't usually care much for long-haired characters (despite having a thing for androgynous looking charas 🥲). it's often by chance that I like a character with long hair, usually in games with historical settings because it was just the style at the time 🍃

Himuka was the first one who came to mind, as one of my top favourite otome game boys, who happens to have long hair 🦋 now, if I really really have to choose, Tokisada is probably my fave Olympia Soirée LI, but I honestly love Himuka so much too 👉🏻👈🏻

his route was a pretty wild ride in terms of story, but he's so sweet and pure and blushy and pretty and delicate 🥺🌷 so many things that I like in one character 🤌🏻 and he's voiced by Horie Shun who needs more otoge roles ah 🩷

the artbook prompt was an easy one for me, I adore artbooks, they're one of my favourite types of merch to collect 📚🫧

{day nineteen of #bellesbdaychallenge: 
it's c̶o̶f̶f̶e̶e̶ tea time! ♡}

I don't drink coffee so I made myself a cup of chai for today's prompt...and that lends itself perfectly to tea time with my favourite FE3H character Yuri ✨ (sorry Ashe & Linhardt, I love you both dearly but Yuri is just 𝘺𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘪 🫣🔥

I played the Ashen Wolves dlc when it released, but only recently played a route where I could finally recruit Yuri and get his ending 🩶 it was worth the wait and made me realise how much I enjoy that game 🎐 it's so chill, yet challenging in the right ways.

another thing I rediscovered in the last year is my love for crafts and scrapbooking 📜✒️🌖 I tried bullet journalling previously and while I admire people who can stick to it, I felt it put too much pressure on my naturally anxious mind 🥲 so instead I use my journalling supplies to make game- inspired collages and keep track of things for my blog 🫧🌷

Xiao is the reason that I started playing Genshin, and he wasn't even in the game for the first few months 🥲 since then, I've fallen in love with the world and story, and many of the characters, but Xiao will always be special 💚

he's the first character I whaled for 🐋 (no shame, I'd do it again) and he's the first ever character that made me want to get a tattoo inspired by him. a sort of protective charm, to have my guardian yaksha look over me 🎐🤍

every Lantern Rite I look forward to more of his character development 🏮 and when the Chasm story chapters hit, I fell even more in love (how is he so cool??) 💘 

he's a classic example of a character who has closed himself off from the world and others, someone who thinks it's better to stay alone. when really, he doesn't want anyone (including himself) to get hurt, but I just want to squeeze him and tell him it'll be alright 🥺🌿

(and yes, I used a pudding emoji because it's the closest thing to almond tofu 😂)

{day sixteen of #bellesbdaychallenge: 
series that makes you happy ♡}

first of all, happy birthday Belle 🌷🎂 thank you for being one of my first ig mutuals, for fangirling with me and for inspiring me to focus on posting what brings me joy 🩷🌻

and speaking of things that bring me joy (notice my smooth transition there ✌🏻), I have many series that make me happy but when I thought about what can always cheer me up, no matter what, it's ✨2d idols✨ 

if you force me to pick a series, I'd go with IDOLiSH7 🌈 the anime is fantastic (although more angsty than you may expect), and I am 100% addicted to TRIGGER and ŹOOĻ 🥹❤️‍🔥 I have their music pretty much stuck on repeat, and am an unapologetic Tenn and Haruka simp 💘

whenever I've had a rough day, I put on a live stage (don't get me started on how talented the seiyuu are 🫶🏻) and just let the happy feels wash over me 🌊 I am still not over the TRIGGER Live Cross Valiant concert―the music, the costumes, the charismatic performance―and that's ok 😌🤍

{day thirteen of #bellesbdaychallenge: 
blushing charas are the best! ♡}

a day late, oops! but aahhh blushing characters, so many different types of blushes to adore 🫶🏻🌷

when I first got into joseimuke content, I was a pretty die-hard tsundere fan. over time more and more of my faves ended up being soft, tragic characters ☁️ but, when the right tsundere comes along, I find it an absolute delight 🍰

Ulrik is one of those characters (apparently I have a thing for cute informants? 🤭💘) the minute I met him in Steam Prison (underrated game imo), I knew I had to find a way to crack his hard tsundere shell 🍃

they take more patience, and hard work to get them to drop the act, but when you get to the 𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦 part of a tsundere... 🤌🏻 their blushes are some of my favourites, the result of persistence and grit, it makes it so much sweeter 😂🍭🩷

{day ten of #bellesbdaychallenge: 
edo, meiji-> old japan ♡}

I started Birushana with Shungen's route 🌻 no expectations, just my Saitō Sōma bias and thinking how I usually get bored of the childhood friend trope (the constipated feelings, it drives me insane 🫠). but, I actually liked his route a lot. some scenes went way beyond my expectations and *gasp* a childhood friend who gets to the point and doesn't wait until his sweetheart falls for someone else to get possessive??? niiiice ❤️‍🔥

the other routes didn't leave much of a lasting impression, but then I got to Noritsune and that boy brought me to my knees and I didn't see it coming 🛐

I knew he was popular and despite kinda liking his design, I wasn't sure if that meant he'd be my cup of tea 🍵 but ok, he was a little brat, standard tsundere and I don't hate those so I was intrigued. and then the route hits a point where you begin to realise how mature and eager to grow he is, and how no one has the chemistry with the protagonist that Noritsune has 💘

enemies to rivals to bromance to lovers??? what a ride 🫶🏻🍃 especially for a game with a historical setting, it is rare to find a character (the tsundere!!) with so much respect and trust in the mc, caring very little about her gender and simply seeing her for who she is 🌸

call me impressed and smitten, Noritsune deserves every bit of popularity he has. although I wish he wasn't so popular so I could get my hands on one of the prettiest acrylic stands ever, but he's too expensive 🥲🤍

{day seven of #bellesbdaychallenge: 
you are messed-up but I love you ♡}

I struggled a bit to think of a character in the joseimuke realm for today's prompt. because I do have a tendency to like my characters a little...damaged, shall we say, but usually still sweet despite the trauma in their pasts? ❤️‍🩹 idk, I'm a sucker for the "I can fix him, I'll protect him" trope 🥲

of course, DiaLovers would have fitted here, and there are other messed-up LIs whose route I enjoyed but then weren't my fave. but instead, I picked this sharp-tongued loveable bastard 🖤

my favourite genshin characters (Xiao & Scara 🍃) may say something about me... but I fell in love with Scaramouche when he first appeared, and then when his story chapters hit... pfff, him and Xiao get so much character development and I'm here for it 🔥

he's mean, prickly, definitely traumatised with questionable ways of dealing with it all, and I don't know if he can be "fixed". but deep down, he got hurt because he cared too much, and that makes him precious 🪻 I just want to stuff him (and his silly little hat) in my pocket and wander around the world with him 🎐
