If I were to describe the past and present TBHX Story Arcs in terms of 80s movies-
Lin Ling = The Princess Bride
Yang Cheng = Rocky
The 21st is almost coming to an end. So Lets hit this track one more time. XD
....Ya'know, I'm starting to see understand people who watch Li Haoling shows, cause he really did say fuck me and my happiness.
Hey y'all. I talked about the idea of self-inserting in my horror romance yandere visual novel, A Little Inconvenience over on itch and Bluesky. I figured it would be important to also talk about it here, especially since I've had the chance to listen to others' opinions on the matter and had time to think.
To catch you up to speed, I've been getting requests to toggle Sabrina off/make her invisible. When developing this game, I figured this was going to happen at some point. Fans of visual novels love self-inserting, especially those who play yandere games. However, my vision for this game was to create a set protagonist that was not only the object of a yandere's obsessions and love gone too far, but was also filling in space that we do not see in this sub-genre: BIPOC, chubby protagonists.
By giving the option to remove Sabrina, I am erasing the representation that's sorely lacking in this space. Not only that, but I'm hurting my vision. In this game, the POVs switch. You not only see the game from Sabrina's perspective, but Darius' as well.
Take the first CG for example. When Darius meets Sabrina for the first time, he sees her as angelic, beautiful, and there's an ethereal glow behind her (similar to what you would see in an romance CG in an otome game). You get into his brain and understand why his world has gone from murky, gray back to full color from this one innocent interaction in the store. With a self-insert, you wouldn't get this. The game's HOOK is gone.
Aside from the importance of having Sabrina there and being able to explore her as a character, her culture, and her story, removing her (even as an option) would also diminish my vision and the story both of which I cannot compromise. Because I know if I add the option to do so, I won't be 100% happy with the game.
That is why I will not be bringing the option of self-inserting to A Little Inconvenience. For a title like this, self-inserting doesn’t work. It works for other games, just not for this one.
Now, I understand if this will disappoint people. I know a large part of players in this community love self-inserting, and if this is a deal-breaker for you, I strongly suggest you play the other wonderful titles out there that let you do that. Give those developers your support and money! They deserve it.
But please do not come into my comments or message box and accuse me of not being inclusive when my mission from the start WAS to be inclusive. This was a comment I received a while ago, and it struck a nerve with me and I haven't been able to forget it.
That is all. Thank you.
That moment when a new OC drops into your brain but they don’t have a story or anywhere to live yet and they won’t leave you alone so you gotta invent a whole new universe for ‘em the same way an oyster’s gotta invent a pearl around a grain of sand
What the Miraculous 7 minutes is gonna be like
HIIII! I’M BACK!!!😆 So here is the first part of the FTLGs version of the Pokemon Au.For this one, I see the Eonia Pantheon being a guild of top Aura Guardians keeping the balance, order and peace of all regions/realms. Just like the story, I can see Dalia being at the head of this guild and in charge of scouting. It makes sense for these guys to one or more Legendaries and Mythicals on their teams.
Lunala (Psychic/Ghost) - Known as the “Beast that calls the moon”, this pokemon is the perfect fit for this brooding God. I can see Astrellio raising them since it was a Cosmog. This is one of the pokemon he’s takes to set the Moon.
Cresselia (Psychic) - Another pokemon I can see Astrellio taking on his shifts with Auerlia. She most likely assists him with dream making for the releams.
Jirachi (Steel/Psychic) - Jirachi is Astrellio’s little wish granting assistant. They help him which desires to fulfill and which wishes to grant
Suicune (Water) - Connecting to his calm and serious side (As well as flowing hair ^^). I can also see Suicune helping creating Astrellio’s galatic river.
Starmie (Water/Psychic)- I see Starmie being Astrellio’s bathhouse buddy whenever he has time to relax.
Lunatone (Rock/Psychic) - Seems like a pretty obvious choice for the God of the Moon.
Ho-Oh (Fire/Flying)- I see no better pokemon to paint the sky a new day with this golden goddess.
Rapidash (Fire) - We all know how much of a flaming equestrian Auerlia is, and this is the perfect alternative match to her Pegasus, Flare.
Solgaleo (Psychic/Steel) - If the Moon God has a “Moon Beast” then of course Auerlia would her own “Sun Beast.” I can see her also taking them whenever she is on shifts with Astrellio to set the sun.
Volcarona (Bug/Fire) - I can definitely see her using this pokemon whenever someone slips up and calls her “radiant”.
Victini (Psychic/Fire) - Connecting with her sweet and cheerful nature. This little guy also has a sweet tooth, so I can see her making them all sorts of sweets for it.
Solrock (Rock/Psychic) - Like Astrellio with Lunatone, It’s a no brainer for Auerlia to have this Solar pokemon.
Terrakion (Rock/Fighting)- In connection to the boulder Leo was trapped under during the trials. It’s also indulges in impulsive and reckless behavior.
Machamp (Fighting) - A big muscle man for our muscular god.
Cinderace (Fire)- Both these two are highly competitive and VERY confident. They also have the same strength and stamina to leave others in the dust.
Pyroar (Normal/Fire)- Since Leo is a Lion lover this fiery beast would really suit him. Both have a good defense and a great amount of pride. I can see Pyroar being one Leo’s pokemon he joined Eonia.
Chesnaught (Grass/Fighting) - Besides it’s large stature, I’m linking this pokemon to Leo’s tree house.
Braviary (Normal/Flying)- Another prideful pokemon. It sort of links to Leo’s tendency of traveling to earth and other realms.
(Pt 2.) - TBP

Happy Inktober! (Tried my best ^>^)
So this is one of the main things that have been on my mind after episode 4. (SPOILER TALK WARNING ⚠️ ‼️ )
After the Blankster’s defeat,God eye is taunting Nice/Lin Ling with how much of his “perfection” as a Hero image is and deep down is nothing but a miserable sham. And it's really getting into Nice/Lin Ling.
….until this happens:
Lin Ling's Promo proposal breaks the broadcast.
It is made aware that know one knows where the promo came from. Not God’s Eye, and not even Miss J and her goons, who have been trying to hack into the broadcast the entire time.
My theory is that X was the one who changed the broadcast.
But for what reason?
Well..
While everyone is confused by the sudden Ad, Lin Ling is completely enthralled by it.
It brings back the memories of his old self, his drive and passion that HE can be the hero not the packaged image of what the fans want.
That is what gave him the will power to break from the Nice personage, run to Moon, and claim himself as the Everyman’s hero.
(I’m sorry, I know his Hero name is something else but I can’t, I’m calling him Lin Ling from now on)
Now knowing what we know, some of the animation changes happen for a reason and are usually followed by a snap in the background. X has the ability to warp and control the essence and matter of reality. Not to mention he is supposedly a Vtuber or Streamer himself.
From what we see from X’s PV, his civilian self is the office worker in one of the Hero Agencies, Fomo.
His position in the company is yet unclear, but it DEFINITELY clear that he is able to move and use his powers somewhat undetected by his colleagues and the higher ups.
The means in which he could have obtained the proposal promo is:
He could have hacked and stole Lin Ling’s Promo directly from the Treeman Server or from Miss J’s Email.
HE HAS BEEN WATCHING LIN LING THE ENTIRE TIME!
I personally believe that both methods are possible, but why would Hero X choose this time to act? What does he gain by leaking the proposal?
My theory, he is trying to change or create a new renaissance of Heroes.
In each of the Trailers and PVs that feature X, he is seen changing and switching the narrative around. He is manipulating the perception of not only the belief of the people, but also inspiring other heroes within his board of fate to redefine the what and who Hero X can be.
Whether that makes him even more powerful or weakens him, he is resetting the Value system of what it means to be a Hero, focusing little on public trust but building it on the belief of the convictions of the heroes.
Well finally got that one out of the chamber. I might do one on which Hero in the story might fit which chess piece, but I'll hold onto that after E-Soul or Lucky Cyan's Arcs wrap-up
Shout out to @vaccoiI! I told you I was gonna mention X!
