✨️Black Magical Girl transformation!✨️ Nobody can tell me representation isn't important! When I tell you at my BIG AGE I was giddy seeing a black girl transform into this cute magical girl outfit... I mean I was kicking my feet under my desk the whole time! Knee Deep in Love has not 1, not 2, but 3 yanderes to romance and Milo is the alpha Yandere! Man is the reddest of red flags! Happy Monday! As a Black woman gamer and otome lover, I don't often see characters that look like me as the leading ladies of the games I play... and that's just sad. Black girlies love otome games too! Where is my otome where a gorgeous Black girl is swept off her feet by a hot 2D man?! Giving the Grim Reaper voice acting is bad for my heart 💗 Not them getting THE @jonahscottva for our babyboy #adatewithdeath #indiegame #romancegame Man is vacuum sealed for our approval 😏 The devs knew what they were doing 😏 #indiegame #otome #datingsim #teachersLP Bark Bark 🐶 I love when otome games have the most unhinged choices... 😏 Can I Not Fall for Idols is funnier than it has any right to be (but between you and me, Issa more than earned that slap) Happy Otome Release Day! Homura The Crimson Warriors is officially out! I'm still pretty early on in the story, but I'm working towards either Saizo or Sasuke's routes. Sasuke is giving kuudere/tsun vibes and Saizo is a walking read flag... and I 100% believe I can fix them.
