I'm Maria! I exist! She/Her preferred, I like When They Cry, Guilty Gear, FFXIV, Zelda, and a bunch of other stuff. I also do some writing on the side.

I’m Maria!
I like coming up with characters and stuff, so here’s a thread with a bunch of them!

they're deconstructing your character into an overly generalized list of good and bad traits in the qrts

Like, that not being held over my head most of the time is doing WONDERS for my enjoyment. It's like how a lot of retro-styled platformers are more fun when you have infinite lives or just no lives system at all.

Okay, I don't know how far in I am yet, but I honestly am finding this more pleasant than the regular White Palace?
Like, *yeah* it's hard as fuck but also they give me periodic healing statues so failing a section is less punishing?
Less worry I'll have to restart from the beginning.

evil demon blade that instead of hungering for blood or anything is obssessed with cute things so it just estrogenizes the wielder

Genuinely, the non-Sega cross-over characters in Sonic Racing being paid DLC is a blessing because it gives me a reason to not bother buying any of it.
I don't want Spongebob or Minecraft Steve in my Sonic Racing game, so I just won't buy them!
Easy peasy!
But Miku and Joker being free?
Sick!

Met the greatest friends I’ve ever had, discovered who I truly was under a mountain of misunderstandings, fell in love, discovered plenty of my favourite stories ever told-
Frankly I could go on forever if I wanted to or decided to be less vague.

Yuu Koito - Bloom Into You

I bet many were expecting this, but I'm expanding the manga to three entries (blatant favouritsm)

Yuu is an absolutely excellent depiction of demiromanticism, and her struggles with her relationship to those emotions is always a super compelling read! Read Bloom Into You

Touko and Yuu discussing romance:

Touko: ...that you don't understand that special feeling, right?
Yuu: ...that's right.
Touko: You don't think anyone will be able to make you feel that way?
Yuu: ...No. I don't think anyone can.

Yuu Koito saying "I can't fall in love with anyone." with a slightly pained expression

Maki's inner thoughts from Bloom Into You as he observes Yuu.

I think you and I are different, though. Because even though you say you aren't anymore, you sure looked lonely just now.

Yuu speaking to Maki on a walk home.

Yuu: It'd be nice if I could have fun with this the way you do, Maki-kun.
Maki: Huh?
Yuu: Enjoying love as a spectator rather than a participant.

Many things are permitted by Umineko's enormous scope but one of the funnier ones is taking time in the answer arcs to put fans misreading the material in the game to dunk on them

Onikakushi spoilers in image alt text

I really 'love' the strong underlying implication that her mental episode in Ibaraki was caused by an attempted sexual assult by the three guys she beat up and that both the guys and the school is trying to sweep the incident under the rug and ofc Ooishi ready this as them being silenced because she mentioned Oyashiro in the medical records and thus it must be related to the fucking murders and Keiichi eats that shit up.

"silent hill f is too Woke" umineko ch 1 is about family turning women & girls into objects & tools for inheritance and higurashi ch 1 is like watching your boy cousin who is a sweetie pie start trusting old men and calling them based as he slowly deteriorates into a violent & paranoid misogyny

umineko: if you read stories with love in your heart, they will give back so much more to you.
also umineko: if you write a story with a plot hole you will be imprisoned in a room all alone for all eternity and no one will hear your screams and you will suffer forever and ever and ever and

CLUE is, in many ways, one of our best games about how we’d all like any excuse to wander around other people’s houses checking for weird shit.

Between Hinako's journal in SHf and now Alice's diary in Habromania, I REALLY hope horror games with girl protagonists who keep a journal become a trend
pls
This is such nice character-building

Also the last scene was a gay black man metaphorically pissing on their graves and saying how much his life will be better with them gone and buried on top of how the people they screwed over the most recovered and dismantled their empire.

Finished The Fall of the House of Usher, and thus the Mike Flannigan House themed Horror trilogy, thing.
This one was fun, in a morbid way.
The gore and more overt violence was... *a lot*, but watching a show where a bunch of shitty rich people die horrifically 'cause of their shitty actions? Yeah.
