Honestly, Mystic Messenger deserves kudos for how unique it was. I really can't think of another dating sim with the overall vibe of MM, nothing compares. Like, the dynamics between love interests first of all isn't jam packed with cheap drama. When you read the conversations between them, you can actually believe that these people are friends and get along with each other. You can sense that they've known each other for a very long time, you sense the trust and the deep bonds more and more as you progress through the story.
Not only that, but the love interests are unique as well. Any dating sim fan can tell you all about the various tropes that our love interests embody, but I feel like MM is the only sim that actually has a unique take on them. Like yes, Jumin is the overbearing rich CEO who's into BDSM and wants to own you like he owns everything else, but going through his story you truly see a side to him that feels so gratifying to learn about in the format of MM. His conflict with his dad is unique to the core- his dad isn't abusive, not to Jumin. On the contrary, Jumin holds nothing but warm praise for his father consistently and you can tell that aside from the womanizing, they have quite a good relationship! But you see Jumin's emotions change real time, how he slowly breaks down until he can't stand it anymore. How he just needs someone to comfort and understand him in his lonely world, someone who isn't a cat or his friends that don't know how to act when Jumin's collected demeanor falls apart.
Or Zen, the classic narcissist flirt, who isn't at all. You really get to see where his narcissism comes from, how he copes with being an actor, how he learns to let down his walls and let people in all the while his sweet personality coming through.
Just. Ugh. Mystic Messenger.
Please. Please please please read this and reblog!
If you support LGBTQ Rights you need to stop scrolling and read this. This is not a fucking joke.
If you cant read this, here it is:
If you don’t remember Sophie M Herold, she is a German girl, who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. She has found out LGBTQ persons names, addresses, personal info etc. And set up her own database. Her intentions with this are harmful.
She is sending out this information, your information, your best friends information, someone you love and care about. She’s sending it to hate groups, malicious people, people with bad intentions. And if you think I’m blowing this out of proportion, people have been kicked out of homes, disowned by families and even MURDERED. Yes, murdered. Innocent people who have done nothing but love. She has had numerous blogs and each have been removed. Tumblr staff are aware of her, and as far as I’m aware she currently doesn’t have a blog, but this does not mean she isn’t still on peoples tumblrs, asking via anon where you live, what your name is. An email I received today. She’s sending out information of same sex couples with children so the children can be kidnapped. She entitled it “Time to strike back”. If that doesn’t suggest harmful intentions I don’t know what does. Please be extremely careful what you post on tumblr, on twitter, facebook, anywhere. Do NOT give out your full name or your address, or even the town in which you live. Look out for one another, and don’t answer any suspicious anons. Especially if they use your name in quotation marks. Sophie M Herold is still out there, she always will be, so please spead this message and warn people. She’s attacking in silence. We don’t need more people dying because of her actions.========This disgusting excuse of a human being of needs to stop, but the only way it can be stopped is if you spread this! Please, be aware of any suspicious people or anons asking for personal information. It can get you or your loved ones in SERIOUS DANGER. Thank you.
If you attack Cheritz or are being a pos to them because of the once again delay of The Ssum, I will come to your house and beat you over the head with a steel chair.
Even if you're frustrated, be respectful.
Okay I'm not sure how to change my blog setup without spamming posts, so if anyone could let me know how to do that, it'd be appreciated
If I cant get it figured out or get any tips then just a heads up for a bit of spam while I make masterlists for each different game/series etc.
reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
Word count: 907
Authors notes: small content/trigger warning for mentions of suggesting (non-specific) medications in both. I do hope you enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nagito:
The days just blended together, night and day full of wishing you could do nothing but sleep.
Of course Nagito noticed very quickly that you were staying in bed longer each day.
He also noticed your lack of energy, regardless of how much you slept the night before
I personally believe that Nagito is also depressed but hides it fairly well, aside from his self-deprecation
He may also feel fairly hopeless (I feel like that’s the reason he looks so hard for hope everywhere around him, so maybe he’ll start feeling more hopeful and feel better-) but you’re important to him
He doesn’t want you to also go through that
He’d be conflicted between making you get out of bed, or letting you stay in bed for longer
He’d settle for having you get up, because he knows that laying in bed won’t make you feel better, you’re just more comfortable
“Love, it’s time to get up..”
“..I’m awake.”
“Can you at least stand up and give me a hug?”
He knows you’d stand up to cuddle him, which he hopes is enough to make you feel even a little bit better
But if you feel bad enough, he wouldn’t hesitate to get you a good therapist
Only if you’re comfortable talking to one, that is
He doesn’t want to force you, but he’s got plenty of money so he doesn’t mind paying high prices for the best in the business if it means his partner can feel better about themselves
At the very least, he would remind you that you can always talk to him about anything
He also tries to tell you how much you mean to him and how much he loves you so you know that he cares about you
If he’s taking any medications for depression, he’d offer them to you, if you’re willing to take them
Like with his therapy offer, he doesn’t want to force you so if you tell him you don’t want to take meds, he’d completely drop the suggestion
If you *do* take the offer, however, he’d make sure to set reminders and get you a glass of water so you don’t forget to take them
If you’re feeling up for it, he’d take you on walks to give you some sunshine and hopefully serotonin from the fresh air
If you were less energetic, but still wanted fresh air, he’d take you for a drive with the windows down
On really bad days, he’ll do his best to make you feel better, but will also give you alone time if that’s what you need
He still brings you water and food throughout the day, because he knows you will probably neglect those necessities, even if you want to be alone
At night he makes sure to hold you tight so you know he’ll do his very best to keep you safe from every- and any -thing, including your own mind
Overall, he would do anything to help you feel better
Mikan:
You don’t want to worry her, but you’ve been feeling pretty down lately
She would also notice pretty quickly.
She’d see that you’ve been taking care of yourself less and that you don’t seem to be as upbeat as usual
Because of her medical knowledge, she would try to suggest medication, and would even give you a breakdown of how the meds work and how each one helps with different things
If you deny medicine, she would heavily suggest a therapist, instead
Honestly, she wouldn’t want you to know, but she cried when she found out that you were depressed
She often suggests you two should go out to get the mail or water the few plants outside just so you can both get a bit of vitamin d, without you having to overwork yourself to do so
If you asked her to do anything, she’d do it if it makes you happier; even if it’s just for a minute
She would take you to go see friends whenever you feel up for it, because she knows the social interaction might boost your serotonin levels
“Hey S/o, I know you said you have more energy today, would you, maybe... Want to hang out with Chiaki and I today?”
“Yeah. I guess we could do that. Chiaki’s pretty calm, usually.”
She would try to buy you small things like a few more plants to take care of, just so you don’t get bed sores from laying in bed all day
(On a side note, please tell her you appreciate that she’s trying to help you feel better because she really just wants to see you be okay)
Even though she isn’t a therapist, she’d try to help you work out what might be causing you to be so down; whether that be something that’s upsetting you, or just a chemical imbalance, and do what she can to help accordingly
She’d make sure to remind you to take care of yourself and to remember how much she loves and cares about you
She would also hug you, sit on your bed and just rub your back on really tough days, letting you cry on her shoulder and vent it all out
And afterwards, she would always have a glass of water for you so your throat doesn’t hurt
She’d also let you cuddle with her for a bit, and maybe even take a nap together, afterwards
