sailor otome | preparing for return! ♡ @sailorotome.bsky.social · Apr 4

Hey new followers! I'm Sailor Otome (Bonne) who writes reviews for amare/otome games while also recording my adventures as an older blerd navigating thru life, love & social justice. It's also not unheard of to hear me talk about gardening, books, sewing/crafts, D&D, history/archaeology & folklore!

The Aspect of Death in elven society is known to patrol the streets daily. Kind, calm, and collected, he is your savior from the downpour, but is there more to him than meets the eye?

Came back clean! What I felt was a ligament (insert scientific noises here) but the process was quick & it didn't hurt. Just felt a little uncomfy for a moment! Everyone was great. And bf took me out for a sweet treat!

I am once again showing off how cool the physical copies of my game are.

And I am once again reminding you that I have a free zine about how to make your own physical copies here:

a physical copy of my game parfum nostalgique. it's a circular USB card custom printed with my main character on it with a flip-out flash drive and a blue tassel attached to a blue shell-shaped perfume bottle card in a watercolor style.

I get more irate because when I told the manager she was just like, "I'm sorry!" But when someone stole her lunch months ago, she sounded the alarm and demanded the cameras to be checked and emailed everyone saying they had an hour to come forward!!

No matter where you find yourself within the City of Candlewax, Omnis is always full or intrigue. Can the child vendor read minds?
Where do all the candles come from? Do you feel safe in your own embassy?

The standing statues pointing up to the sky is probably my favorite! Though I love all of these images; there's a lot of symbolism being used here.

I played this demo earlier & had a lot of fun; there's something about having an older, flirty MC that just does the heart good. Plus the casual chemistry between her and the White Tiger was just so yummy; he had this tired, wry personality that seemed secretly amused by her.

In Ookami Okami #otome, you, an elderly innkeeper, fell, drowned, and died.

Then you are reborn in the spirit world, and fate has taken you to take care of a magical inn AND its owner, the White Tiger God🐯

Your mission: Explore. Clean. Exorcise. Flirt. Repeat.

Ready?👇

No streaming for this week! Needing to take care of a bunch of RL stuff before I leave & help the beau settle. & with it being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I decided to go ahead to get my first mammogram. I'm certain I am okay but want to make sure. A little nervous yet hopeful it'll go smoothly!

Failbetter Games - Wishlist Mandrake on Steam! @failbettergames.com · 2d

Here are some real and actual facts about Mandrakes:

- Their smell could drive away demons
- It was a popular component of fertility spells
- Witches used it in the unguents which gave them the power of flight

So: the perfect plant to name our new game and its protagonist after.
