There was a time where I thought it might get remade, but of course it never did. I've gotten better at QTE attacks from other games, so I feel like my reaction time might actually be better now!

Best I can do is create a loose description for my pinned post. The next problem being that it's so vague that way, that it appears *too* generic in a sense. *sigh* The entire story was built on starting off on hardmode, I guess 😅 2/2

Creating Lights as a "story of discovery" made it HARDDD! 😩 I love surprises in my stories, framing it around such mystery to keep the creepy vibe of "what *is* going on??" But a marking *nightmare*! Can't talk about much till read up to certain points, prompts are limited/vague... 1/2

Time always does seem to be the #1 killer 😞 It's hard to juggle it all! "Write book? Market book?"

Ah Legend of Dragoon... I really should replay (and actually beat it!) one of these days! Had a constant bug at the end of the Disc 3 boss, found out it was a PS2 model issue 😭 Lost interest once I got to Disc 4 😓 I really did enjoy it, too!

Haven't watched anything from the Fate universe yet, but from what I know about Gilgamesh, Teo is the *complete* opposite. Nothing but green flags ☺️

I was surprised how nice the fur and feathers worked together ☺️

The artist specializes in dragons and did such a good job with them ☺️

I'm already looking forward to my next one finishing up ☺️ Showing my chars is much easier than talking about them, and I have so many future scenes planned in my head that need to be visually recreated at some point...

Here's just a few of my collection (artists linked in Alt text!!)

😅 It took me SO many hiatuses to get through V! I think I was just hooked on other games at the time. I finally did beat it, but by then a new Neptune came out every month it felt like! Haven't played any since there.

Oh big omission on your list though - where's the wonderful Time and Eternity??🤣

I was tempted to add a Neptune, but didn't quite make the cut! I somehow platinum'd 1, which had the most grind, and yet MK2 already made SO many helpful changes. A reminder that I'll need to (one day) play the remake of 1 to see the sisters added into it.

😁 For sure! Seriously though, the number of games where they would've been absolute masterpieces, if it wasn't for pesky controls... 😒

😌 My backlog is forever *massive* and there's just SO much I have yet to play. Writing has... destroyed most of my free time lately 😅 Uta is def a great trilogy! Each one just gets better.

Sadly, Fragile Dreams didn't quite make my own cut 😭It's def an honorable mention, though! (I'll blame the Wiimotes here...) It should really get a remaster though.

I put Curtain Call up too high when I replaced it with something... 🤦Whatever! Not gunna let it stick out and bother me 😑

Yup, this one is WAY easier to pick out, & still had to leave some out 😭 Wanted a good overview of stuff I grew up with (which wasn't much, mostly rentals/borrows), & stuff I played when older. Tried placing them in order of when I played them. (I cheated a couple times too 😋)

Neat! This was the only full-sized one I had. I also had a smaller yellow one with an aqua mane/tail (I think the marks were of butterflies but I forget), and a few mini ones that I think maybe came from a playset.

A sealed package of My Little Pony Firefly with a pink VHS tape of "Firefly's Adventure".

Wait... Is this the one? I only had a few ponies as a kid (they were at the end of their run by that point), but I still have memory of opening this one up. Too bad the tape only worked once, then never again 😒

An illustration of my original characters, Reva and Polaris. They are in the ocean, with a sunset behind them. Polaris is shirtless and is in his half mer-man form with purple-blue gradient fins on his back and around his ears, with a pink starfish on his head. He is holding onto Reva around her shoulders and looking down at her with a longing look on his face. Reva is looking up at Polaris with a slightly confused yet flustered expression. She has pink hair, brown skin and blue eyes and is wearing a dark green shirt. There is a faint a white border and some white smoke in the background, behind them.

😅 "What's the story about? Uhhh how about reading it and then you tell me?"

The emotional beats. Reading those specific scenes each time and watching the characters grow individually and their chemistry together... 😌 Of course, it's even more striking when something *big* occurs (good or bad), and how they all react.

We just gotta hope for the best with the methods we pick! Sometimes I wish I could as a reader "so uhhh how would you describe the story?", but that's already asking *way* too much 😅

Whichever doesn't turn into "BAD END" 😓

It's hard!! But, sometimes compromises have to be made... A big chunk in my details are shared during the inciting incident, so I had to at least detail out the big picture stuff, and hide away the rest. Impossible to stay quiet to market it, otherwise 😑

The irony too, is I went to school to market/advertise niche media I loved. I came out only learning how to shill for big corpos and apps you make. Techbro stuff, basically. Sure didn't learn a thing on how to market your creative works 😅

Can I EVER sell & get people excited with stuff I enjoy. Doing my own? Forget it! I turn into a deer in the headlights! 😶 "How do I best represent this work?" is THE hardest question! Plus having to hide so much plot as a mystery so the reader can be surprised? Even harder!

It's def up there for me! A packed season with so much good stuff ☺️ Next season looks like I'll have even *more* to watch 😶 (Will forever behind...)

Makio from the anime Journal with Witch. She is laying slumped over on the couch holding her phone. The subs read "Really? Is being a novelist that hard?" A text message is subbed in the corner reading "Got nothing in the tank. Can't do anything else."

I feel this screenshot in my bones 😣

Good thing Red River and a remake of Magic Knight Rayearth will be airing this year 😌
