Revised the eye shapes sketch from yesterday. I forgot to include the Chinese names for phoenix eyes. Also, fixed the peach blossom eye to make the flower petal shape more prominent in the painted version :3

💌 #nmbb24 I participated in the Narumitsu BigBang '24 and got to work on this artwork for ray! @ employed 's fantatsic fic To Have & To Hold! Please check it out on Ray's account or down below! It was an honour to work alongside a writer again!

craft store sisyphus What makes games like Hatoful Boyfriend and Doki Doki Literature Club so popular is because there are more than just dating sims. They create interesting stories outside of just wish fullfillment.

sof Nobody wants to fight with 8 diff sites to watch 10+ eps. 1 ep will work but then the next wont&we'll have to find someplace else. Theres a reason people started paying for streaming. These sites keep getting taken down/domains change. Making it harder to find what we want.

sof I think there’s something in it with the ascendancy of smart tvs. When it was an equal pain in the ass to plug an HDMI into your laptop for Netflix and Pirating, you might as well pirate.

sof If I have to go through multiple streaming sites clicking dead links trying to find a quality stream - I’ve already lost interest.

sof How about, if you recommend a movie/tv show to someone, either provide a good link or don't be surprised if they don't watch it.

Moa As someone who’s gotten several friends to play the game over the years so I could watch their reaction for the first time, I really feel like the marketing of HBF does a splendid job of hiding the game’s secrets. These days it’s difficult to find such games without spoilers.

sof For me I used to pirate a lot. Now I just don't care anymore. There's so much content trying to watch it all feels like a job now, and I don't really enjoy much of it. So I kinda just stopped watching a lot and play more games or watch YouTube instead lol.

Moa hatoful boyfriend changed my DNA and also my perspective on visual novels when I read it. every single VN I have ever read since then I've been comparing to HB and they never come anywhere close to HB 🙏 the twist in your work cannot be matched

sof It's been a whole generation at this point. The same kids who have never heard of media piracy also don't know we used to have universal instant messaging clients.

sof I used to pirate torrents of each and every show I wanted, and then some, both British and American from eztv dot org. It was brilliant. Now I don't even know how to pirate. How is it done these days? I fully support pirating by people without the means to pay.

Moa I understand why the promotion would avoid spoilers, so I moreso end up sad that so many people don't play it all of the way through it's like watching someone throw a delicious feast on the floor only partially eaten, it feels sad to see what could've been enjoyed be dismissed

Moa Hatoful Boyfriend and Holiday Star were foundational in my approach to writing characters. Thank you for this series!!!

sof Streaming is so convenient nobody wants to put forth the effort to pirate. That's why it works as a business model. TV is not important enough to most people to bother doing *anything* extra.
