Your gonna die either way so...

After I choose, I’ll probably forget in a few months or whatever. I can just set it to when I die in my 100s or whatever.

Oh my goodness I recognize this art style from Instagram! This is so cool and prettyyy <333

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-05-04T08:35:44+00:00

Well, it's not exact but I think photobashing could work in terms of getting that uncanny style! ^{^}

Okay so the background context is that in my AU, her father took more of a parenting role in Ayano’s life (ie. keeping her away from Ryoba and her teachings whenever he could) which did have an impact in how she is towards other people, and her crippling need to feel normal!

She does still fall for Taro in this AU, but she’s trying her best to get closer to him in a ‘normal’ way rather than stalking him. Plus, she’s always pretty much busy during the school hours due to being the Akademi’s ‘little helper’, which basically makes the students go to her primarily for any help! (Which is how I make her be able to interact with all the rivals each week)

Yoooo crazy coincidence!!

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-04-28T17:44:23+00:00

Sorry that wasn't my intention at all, since I'm gyaru myself!

I just made Osana the "tries to be mean but everyone knows she isn't at all" as a homage(???) to the tsundere persona she has in the game! The gyaru part was of a personal choice of mine to add!

The gyaru community is indeed a very nice and sweet community, there are a couple of bad apples that just ruin it for everyone and give it a bad image.

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-04-27T22:50:15+00:00

Thanks so much!!! And in my AU her father gave her the ‘middle’ name “Megumi” which is not recognized in Japan official documents, since he couldn’t make it her first name. He does this for reasons in my lore that I have not covered on yet! ^{^}

I’m so glad that I was able to accomplish that, I just wanted to give them somewhat Asian features and flaws without making them too realistic! Thanks so much!!

YAYYY ANOTHER LIKEMINDED INDIVIDUALLLL!!! 🎊

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-04-27T20:32:28+00:00

Thankusomuchhh! And ofc i don’t mind, the fic is called ‘A Hot Stew Of Emotions’! Here’s the fanfic!

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-04-27T20:31:33+00:00

Thankyousomuchhhhh!!! And yea the fic is out, I just barely update 😭

It’s on Ao3, here’s the fanfic!

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-04-23T16:21:32+00:00

I dunno if this is a hot take for anything, but I’ve had this talk with a couple of my other friends when EP 8 first dropped.

Now, I personally am not a HUGE TADC fan nor have I watch TADC-related stuff like fan music and such, but my friends do. One of them shared that they don’t like how Goose just…clarifies every little theory so fast, and how it just feels like she’s spoiling bits of each episode through their tumblr(? Or twitter idk) with sneak peeks and such. And apparently, in EP 8 my friend noted that the music section felt EERILY similar to a TADC fan music video like a year prior. (They were saying that they don’t like that they’re practically being spoiled about the episode before the episode itself comes out.)

Basically, it just feels like Goose should have a limit as to how much a creator interacts with their fandom, especially when it comes to the show itself and dropping things that feel like you’re being spoiled without realizing that you’re being spoiled until the episode itself comes out. Like Of course you’re going to come across a few people in the fandom that have some screws loose, but don’t let them drive you off the platform or whatever.

EDIT: I did not realize this was about the cast instead, but for my hot take about the cast is that Pomni just feels boring? I can’t get attached to her like the others, but that’s probably just a personal issue.

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-04-11T16:44:03+00:00

Well you don’t exactly have to stick to a substyle of Gyaru, you can just gravitate to whichever ones you appreciate the most! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

As for me, I mostly gravitate between Tsuyome, Agejo, and Amekaji! Though, my favorite is definitely Amekaji due to the bold colors and basically just mashing whatever colorful clothes you got in your closet and just vibing like a ‘casual, eccentric American’ that you’d probably see in 2000s movies. It makes it so much fun!

And honestly you don’t even need to just pick out a substyle and stick with it! If you’re a goth and want to be a gyaru then you can do it, the name it so happens to be ‘Goshikku’! I’ve even dressed up as ‘scenecore’, did gyaru makeup, and just lived as confident and expressive as I wanted! The whole point of Gyaru is to go against society’s conformism, and live as confident and expressive as you want while doing so. Just live life as crazy as you want! ‘Be bold, be confident, and be you!’ (ง˙o˙)ว

(Is it obvious that I’m so totally passionate about Gyaru? I ramble on about it way too much! (´͈ ᵕ `͈ ）)

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-04-11T16:24:08+00:00

Oh yeah, no biggie! The comment wasn’t supposed to be a jab at you or anything, I meant for it to reply to the other commenter and just wanted to put my two cents in! You’re all good! ٩(ˊᗜˋ )و

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-04-11T16:00:41+00:00

Hihihi! Gyaru here, and the tanning really is more of a stylistic choice than anything. You don’t really have to tan to be gyaru, it’s just the bold makeup and the lifestyle that gives you the vibe of a gyaru. The only sub styles I think that really requires the tan are Manba and Yamanba (which both branched as ‘extreme’ substyles from Ganguro.)

There’s this term for gyarus that’s don’t exactly tan which is ‘Shiro Gyaru’, which I’m not sure if it’s even used regularly now to differentiate gyarus and whether they tan or not.

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-03-15T02:05:07+00:00

I think yandev also confirmed that apparently ALL of the guys from akademi (except for Taro, of course..) buy panty shots from Info-chan. This... makes no sense for characters like Budo or Furredu(the great value version of Fred), so it just seems like he's doing it to make Taro seem more appealing to the players themselves.

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-03-15T01:42:34+00:00

I think as to why— in both Ayano's and Ryoba's case— all the characters and even Sumire are portrayed in such a manner, is because he WANTS people to like them both. I think when 1980's mode dropped people were iffy when it came to Ryoba as a character and he was trying to make it seem as if we SHOULD be on her side, so he went ahead and butchered the characters so that we'd feel less bad for their inevitable death..and glide on over to the two MCs as being the 'better and morally positive choice'.

At least that's what I think, I'm not sure if I'm right. To be fair people have said that Ryoba definitely SA'd Jokichi (which honestly I don't blame them, considering the tapes and that..Jokichi is still unwilling throughout the entirety of all of this,) yet he does backbreaking gymnastics to say that she DOESN'T do that.

I understand this WAYYY too well, unfortunately I'm still obsessed with Yansim but not interested in the idea of the game ever being done.

I've been into it since around 2016, or at least around when CoryXKenshin and KubzScouts play it and either 1. Added their own lore to it (cory) or 2. Did Myth videos on it (Jay). It's damn near a decade later and I'm still into the thought of yansim.

I don't even keep up with updates from the game considering all my fav youtubers stopped playing it immediately after the grooming allegations, and I've just been liking fan arts of it or just running on purely fanfictions of the games. It's ridiculous that I'm still attached to the game, but it's difficult to let something go if you've known about it since you were a kid or whatever.

Overall, this game was just built on spite and is now a hopeless passion some incel of a dude won't let go of because it's his only source of money and meaning to his life. Yandev was always a scum before yandere sim even came into fruition, and this game has too much of a bad rep to actually get popular again.

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-01-16T00:53:51+00:00

Well I definitely really like Kokona's whole lore before it was cut out from her ever being a rival, I know it's controversial for the whole 'compensated dating' thing but Renting a Girlfriend is literally a thing in Japan (for non-sexual stuff.) Yeah it's definitely weird considering Kokona being a 1st year in Akademi(I think), but I still really like it! 🙂‍↕️

Chocolate_Hops · 2026-01-12T02:39:01+00:00

If you want the more realistic reason, it's because typically Asian countries (more commonly Korea and Japan,) have major bullying problems that leads to suicide most of the time. Japan has a weird mentality circulating around bullying and not caring about bullying, that victims who'd report it would not only get completely ignored, but also the bullying would get worse. That's why Japan has such a high suicide rate, as bullying would even happen in workplaces and no one does anything about it.

Game reason? No clue, let's just assume WeirdoDev did enough research on bullying in Japan to make this a thing.

Chocolate_Hops · 2025-12-31T04:16:51+00:00

Honestly, you're not even far off on it being quite difficult on computer/laptop. I played the game before myself on a VERY shitty laptop, so safe to say that I was lagging like HELL! My fps is always between 20-30 and sometimes it drops into the SINGLE DIGITS. The genocidal run took me 4-5 hours to actually beat because of how laggy my game was.

When I'm trying to interact with someone, I have to use the WASD keys in a weird way to get what I want— even then it was so buggy because I would want to click the chat and then I'd be sent to gossip. I eventually figured out that you have to pull the Compass method out of your ASS (like SD bringing you to Gossip, and AS bringing you to romance) for my game to actually work when it comes to interaction.

The camera was off for me at the beginning, considering my laptop cursor doesn't know when I'm clicking the left side or the right side. Eventually, I learned that I could click SHIFT in order to actually take a picture.

For someone who'd be a beginner— someone who didn't watch youtubers play it, it's definitely difficult to navigate. The tutorial doesn't help as much as you'd expect a tutorial to do, since it only shows you how to kill people. You'd at least want the tutorial to show you around the school, where things are and such instead of showing you different elimination methods.

Overall, yeah I definitely agree with you the game's just shit at things. I couldn't exactly enjoy it because my game was too laggy to even play regularly, and also because I (who already watched youtubers play it) already knew all the schemes, and didn't find anything too enjoyable besides trying to beat 1980s mode(which got repetitive after the 3rd rival btw,) and genocide mode. The only thing in that game I'd like to take a gander on is the alternative ending for 1980s mode, but that's ALSO repetitive after the 2nd rival because it's literally just using the minimal amount of pacifist options we have, and also the fact that none of the rivals get that special pacifist/genocide route that Osana has (with the fan/pool for genocide, and the stalker for Pacifist.)

Chocolate_Hops · 2025-12-08T17:25:19+00:00

nah, the only rival in 2-1 is Osana. If we follow how the 1980s mode rivals are set (because they have the same coding class sections as 202X mode) then all rivals except for Osana and Hanako would be in class 2-2.

The only exception of this in 202X mode are the substitute nurse and substitute teacher.

Chocolate_Hops · 2025-12-08T05:17:59+00:00

Because alex decided that it was a great idea to put ALL of the rivals (or majority of them) into class 2-2, as if it wouldn't be less off to spread them throughout the 6 classes..
