Anonymous asked: *ahem* My name is Elainie and I'm from an alternate reality to your own. I'm the tactician for the Shepherds and Chrom's wife. Last time Chrom and I met to discuss strategy, you followed him into the room and proceeded to dust me off. While I appreciate your dedication to my husband, is it really necessary for you to treat me like a piece of furniture? Is this how you treat your queen? I find it most humiliating.
Apologies, milady. I cannot speak for my alternate self, but I do recall such an incident from a few months back with the Robin of our...

updated designs for nails, prince and angel
i’m not sure why prince has such a weird pose i’m so sorry
Eeeee, Nails is so perfect.
i think this is the last dump?
top: KC! prince, angel, aces, spades, blaze
bottom left: cutter
bottom right: rest of steppers: snake, nails, slasher
as always, designs open to change! (except probably aces and blaze because wow cuties) thinking of giving prince or doc an ascot tie instead just to differentiate them a bit more hmmmmm….
Aces looks absolutely perfect! I couldn’t be happier with the way you drew her. She’s going to look fantastic when she’s finalized and colored.
Nails looks great too, though I’d make the jacket long sleeved (there could be a little bit more detailing on the jacket too, but that’s largely the fault of my sloppy original concept, sorry) and add her armband, probably on her right arm, though either would be fine. (I apologize for making you include kanji.)
There was also some discussion of changing Angel’s outfit a little so that he fits in better with the rest of the fancy pants higher ups of KC, so you might want to talk to Roban about that at some point.
Ah, I am just so stoked to have such a great team working on this game! You and Zerp are both really talented and there’s some great chemistry between Roban, DreadCop, and myself. I think this game is going to turn out really great.
Friendly reminder that whenever you marry someone, historians gloss over their accomplishments in favor of following the Avatar’s. You effectively nearly remove someone from the pages of history beyond a simple mention by marrying them (◡‿◡✿)
Unless you marry Kellam. Then you’re adding your husband to the pages of history.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but much of the jewelry on this store actually is KumaCrafts’. I’m not going to point fingers, but if you consider buying anything from this shop, I’d steer you to hers first.
I don’t think any of these are actually from KumaCrafts, but they’re clearly meant to take advantage of her popularity by copying her products. If you look at them side by side, KumaCraft’s are clearly of superior quality.
Hey kiddos!
So after seeing this Otome Gamer Confessions post here, I decided, hey, I like otome games, I have Ren’py, I too have never seen an otoge based off Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, let’s do it!
So I wrote a little blurb for a reimagining of Snow…
The fact that you’ve written a route for a VN before is a definite plus!
Do you think you can pick your two favorite characters from this list and write a quick bit of dialogue between them? This is mostly to test if you can get a handle on writing these particular types of characters. Thanks!
I’m not sure how well I did, but part of that is that it’s hard to get a good grasp of a character and how they generally talk with just a quote and a small profile. I tried to make Doc sound like he was being amiable in a slightly threatening way. Hopefully that comes across!
Snow: (Shit. I’ve been running all night. I need to crash.)
Doc: Hey there, chica. You look a little lost.
Snow: Who the fuck are you?
Doc: It seems to me like that should be my question.
Doc: After all, I’m right where I’m supposed to be.
Doc: You’re the puppy who’s wandered away from home.
Snow: Who the hell are you calling a dog?
Doc: That’s what I’m trying to find out.
Doc: Here, I’ll show you how to do it.
Doc: I’m Ramiero Cortez. And you are?
Snow: …In Lucky Sevens territory.
Doc: Who’s a smart girl?
(P.S. My other internet handle is Nekochi. Maybe you remember me from Broken Forums?)
Hey kiddos!
So after seeing this Otome Gamer Confessions post here, I decided, hey, I like otome games, I have Ren’py, I too have never seen an otoge based off Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, let’s do it!
So I wrote a little blurb for a reimagining of Snow White in a modern gangland setting, called Snow White and the Seven Thugs. And I wrote up a profile for our heroine, complete with a little placeholder sketch.
Now this is where you guys come in. I’m more of a writer than an artist, so I could really use 2-3 artists, one to do character, CG, and background sketches, one to do the lineart and coloring, and maybe one to make a nice GUI and logo. I might also want 1-2 other writers who have previous experience with collaborative writing (yes, RPing counts) in order to help me write some routes.
If you’re interested, please reblog this post with a link to your DevArt or art blog (for artists) or some kind of sample of your writing, whether it be original or fanfiction (for writers). Also make sure to say how much time you’d be able to devote to this project and how fast you generally work.
Thank you!
Sounds like fun! I can write and I’d be willing to help with proofreading/beta testing, as well. Here are a few examples of my writing. (If you choose to judge the quality of my writing by the stuff on my fanfiction.net account, please take into account the date each piece was written. Some of them are kind of old and I’m not particularly proud of them anymore.) Please also check out Heartache 101 ~Sour Into Sweet~, which is a dating sim made specifically to allow people to add their own characters and routes to the game. I wrote and completed the route for Junko, which you can download and play for another example of my work. Since the game also features a consistent protagonist, I made an effort to make him sound like he does in the other routes, so it should give you an idea of my ability to write collaboratively.
Unfortunately, I’m not the fastest writer, but I’m almost done with school, so I should have some time to devote to the project.

I just finished part one and two of my final for my first theory class and I got 48/50 on one and 51/50 on the other and I just *breaks down into gross sobbing*
You’re no god! Gray-face or not, I can beat you at anything on my terms.
Hahaha. I seriously think I came up with the best question ever.
Once upon a 1996, in the mystical kingdom of LA, there was born a little girl named Delia White.
Because she was white as an albino and ice cold as a true gangsta, she was called “Snow” by her homies.
When Snow was 14 she joined Step’s gang. She and Step became pretty tight, like sistas from another mother. But that all changed one day, when Step walked down the block in a pimp disguise and consulted the homies.
“Homies, homies leaning against the wall,
Who is the thuggest of them all?”
They replied:
“Once, it was Step who was the best,
But now Snow’s thugger than the rest.”
Step flew into a rage and decided to call up one of the lieutenants, Cutter, to ice Snow. But Cutter was tight with Snow, and warned Snow to fly to another hood.
In that hood, Snow would find a gang of seven badass thugs. And soon they would become…
SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN THUGS
Genre: Otome (?!?!)Release Date: ???
Would play.
I honestly don’t know what to say in response other than I really have never experienced the “infantalization” or mocking aspect of Engrish, and I work in an environment comprised half of Japanese expatriates and Americans who have to interact with them on a daily basis using broken English. …I am interested in what your personal experience has been, as I never saw this happen either in Japan, living in a foreign studies dorm where me and several other American students used to comment and marvel at the bad Engrish on signs around us.
I’ll explain in two super long bullet points!
1. My dear, that is because you are a good, non-racist person!! And a international company or language school is probably filled with people who are eager to learn a foreign language while being appreciative of the difficulties involved in achieving “fluency.”
As a related point, I think you might be blurring two things together. Acknowledging and identifying grammatical errors is not racist in any way. However, the specific “joke” of “Engrish” is very different. And your peers are not.making.Engrish.jokes - they are being lovely, cosmopolitan people who gloss over minor grammatical errors.
The kids in junior high lisping “I RAB U RONG TIME” to my 65 year old father who is rolling his eyes and mowing the front lawn. See, I kind of giggle at this too, but that’s because I love my dad and the image is ridiculous. Those kids were laughing because they did could not empathize with (aka humanize) a man who happens to be Asian; my dad was literally a joke to them who embodied all of the “wrong” and “funny” and “foreign” things about Asians. FWIW, my dad has been in the US since the late 1960s, is a naturalized citizen with a PhD and is fluent in English…though, he does still have a “hilarious” accent.
2. If you don’t know the forms of anti-Asian racism as they have developed historically, then it might be hard to link a funny picture of bad wording to a racially-target malice. That doesn’t mean that the word is innocent either. This isn’t directed at you (because I <3 u) but to all those weird, angry anons, I wonder….
Why does your ignorance justify the innocence of the phenomenon of “Engrish”? The logic runs like, “I don’t know the capital of Kyrgyzstan..therefore, they don’t have a capital city hmph!”
And before all those anons start spamming me, I would also add that one person’s good intentions and ignorance do not eliminate an entire history of racial stereotyping. And if you DO have good intentions and are now aware, just avoid the word because many find it hurtful (or just straight up annoying!). Nothing great is lost when we replace the term “Engrish” with something else. Nothing!
Peace and love! No more talk on this on my end.
I’m just curious as to what we should be calling this, then:
Other than the punchline to a Soviet Russia joke (and my favorite sign ever.)
My point is I’m all for using another word, as long as there’s a good one to use, but I have no idea what it would be. Japanglish? Engo?
