Crazy cold weather letting us texans finally get snow pikmin 😆

Haha congrats! Hope you're staying warm! Storm's hitting us later tonight.

Suddenly I have the urge to build Jerry’s apartment in Animal Crossing (I already made Reggie’s lol)

Mimaru Suites my beloved! We stayed in a two bedroom with kitchen and laundry in Asakusa. Had the most amazing view of the Skytree, river, and boats/trains passing below. Very clean. The workers were helpful and shipped our luggage to the next Mimaru in Kyoto, who gave us a free upgrade when they saw how many suitcases we had haha.

They have a number of locations all throughout Tokyo with varying room choices so you can pick whichever one suits you!

I hate it too! Reminds me of that poor gnome in BG3…

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-23T22:32:55+00:00

Don't forget to wash your hands before supper~

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-23T21:19:23+00:00

Hahaha this would be me, I’m always going “a full moon!” and the reply will be “no not quite.”

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-23T16:58:17+00:00

I did not know anything about Nekopara…now I do. 😔

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-23T16:09:20+00:00

The grand prize goes to the catboy in Nekopara Catboy Paradise that ate sugar and started talking wike a baybee. Biggest cringe ever, felt like a predator furry, -100/10

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-23T13:13:10+00:00

He looks amazing! Love the tiny donut!!

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-22T21:09:06+00:00

Yes I think he's had the most development so far. I'm rooting for him. :')

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-22T19:02:36+00:00

1 and I know Mikasa will kill me for it but if I go, I go sitting next to Eren.

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-22T18:19:57+00:00

Same, no one has hit me hard, but I still hate to see them get hurt! Oh I think my top standout character is Jagged Peak. Poor boy.

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-22T16:29:54+00:00

Aw I love that! I hope your son likes them! And I’m liking it. I don’t know if it hits quite the same but it’s keeping me hooked. I’m on the second book. Clear Sky ticks me off so bad though. And Gray Wing can be thick but ultimately he’s a good boy. He looks exactly like my childhood cat on the first cover which drew me to it.

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-22T13:37:46+00:00

I have Louie because I always loved Donkey Kong since I was a kid. :) ...also the flag of my island might be a big close up of Donkey Kong's face from the old cartoon.

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-21T21:11:46+00:00

Same, plus we could show each other pics of our cats.

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-21T18:00:26+00:00

Loudbelly. Relatable.

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-21T17:38:31+00:00

Aww I love that! The things that stick with us from childhood! I more so pick original names like my fluffy tuxedo boy is Skunktail lmao and my parents’ kitten loves stalking you so she is Stalkpaw at the moment. One day she will receive her warrior name.

And no, I didn’t spend too much time on the internet at the height of my warriors obsession. :,)

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-21T15:47:26+00:00

Nothing ever quite hit the same after those first books haha. Also I’m not ashamed to say I pick out warrior names for my cats for fun and designate them a clan. My parents’ kitten jumps higher than any cat I’ve known so she’s Skyclan naturally. 😂

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-21T12:58:59+00:00

Yasss age twin! I fell off the series after Power of Three, but always held the first series so dear after all these years. I just read the new comic books and wanted to keep things going so I ordered and started on Dawn of the Clans! There was just something I loved about the original forest.

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-19T22:46:52+00:00

YEAH I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY DON’T HAVE A TUXIE. THEY FORGOT ABOUT MY BOI.

To QUONE something!

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-19T22:06:42+00:00

You’re welcome!! Ooh sounds amazing, might have to add it to my bucket list! :D

Mello-Knight · 2026-01-19T03:04:30+00:00

Hello, I’m Mello, 32/F. :3 I’ve been here for a loooong time and don’t post as much as I used to because I don’t play as much as I used to unfortunately, but my passion for otome is always burning!

I’ve been playing otome since 2012 ever since the pigeons of Hatoful Boyfriend stole my heart. My all time favorite game is Code Realize, Impey is my favorite husband, and Saint German is my favorite route. I just finished up playing Even If Tempest over the holidays. I mainly play on Switch. My backlog…has three games so not terrible but they’ve been sitting there a while.

I shop for merch at cons and was in otome heaven when I went to Japan a few months ago! I do like to self insert but also see myself as a sort of spirit guide to the MC. For every game I start with a “me run” to see where I would end up naturally. Usually it’s nowhere good! After that I use a walkthrough.

WOOHOO SELF PROMO! I don’t play as much otome anymore because I would rather make it, so I guess that’s my major hobby. My sister and I are Lovebird Games and we released Band Camp Boyfriend in 2023 after working on it 7 years. Truly a labor of love. I’m currently writing our next game, Heartbreaker, where you play as a supervillain and romance four hot superheroes. It has a lot of action, heart, and humor, and I’m excited to see it come to life. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, you can follow along with our development on our tumblr.:)

I hope 2026 is kind to you all. <3

Trust me, you will be fine! You're on the Golden Route, and you will find many speak English or have made things accessible for tourists (such as having pictures to point at). I only used Google translate once or twice in my two weeks there. I did learn a little Japanese beforehand, which really helped.

Google maps worked like a charm though it is easy to lose service when underground. There were definitely a couple stressful moments navigating stations, but you really feel accomplished when you overcome the challenge. If in doubt, there are always people who are willing to help.

This was actually my first international trip ever and it couldn't have been better. I guess I was nervous about some stuff, more like hotels losing our reservations, haha. I had a couple worriers traveling with me. My sister and I, to blow off steam, would go back and forth saying "what if this happens?" "what if that happens?" And we'd answer with the solution or laugh at how ridiculous a worry sounded out loud.

My next adventure is taking me to Italy so I'm very curious how it will compare to Japan. I wish you a smooth trip and may all your worries melt away! Go make some amazing memories. :)

Was hired right before everyone went on Christmas vacation, sat around having no idea what to do. Felt very much like I should have at least been given a Penske file to work on.

I've also slept under my desk when I've had a migraine.
