My community claims I'm into furries... but, I just wanted to pet the cute doggo... When a man is so fine you forget how to read... Just finished playing Road to Empress I and oh boy was that a ride. I got more game over ends than I can count and the normal ends are lowkey my favorites. But, one thing has been a constant, my love for Li Tai... that man lives rent free in my head and I can't wait to see him again in Road to Empress II on Friday! That shirt is putting in WORK! I recently played the demo for @azurextwilight.games's Low Effort Romance and our Ken doll boyfriend Owen is vacuum sealed in his clothes... not that I'm complaining! So I started playing Tomodachi Life... and apparently March's rizz was too strong. #tomodachilife Seven Sundays is MESSY! Firefighter Taeyang was ghosted by his first love Jiwan exactly 8 years ago (trust me it's relevant). Fate brings them back together  and Taeyang is ready to finally get some answers... but  nothing could prepare him for the revelation that Jiwan has a whole kid. And that's not all his son is the same age as their break up and Jiwan's messy ass had the audacity to name his son Taeyang... M-E-S-S-Y! So... I finally played the demo for A Date With Death 2, and I really vibe with 0204. I think he may be my new babygirl. The Fields of Mistria announcement had me and @blackbelleflower going absolutely feral! Did you see my MAN in his wedding fit?! I am so ready for August 5th!! Just feeding my cute pet~ 💖
