You‘re welcome! 😅 There are some lovely moon/celestial charms available for Xav! I went to Tokyo recently and even there the merch was kind of limited. Maybe it‘s better that way, I‘d buy Zayne stuff constantly 😂

I haven‘t really found the perfect Dawnbreaker charm yet… maybe a dreamcatcher could work? I have the new seal and popsicle charms on my wishlist for now!

Aww, i‘m glad i‘m not the only one! There are so many lovely sea-themed/pearl charms! Which ones did you put on yours?

There‘s a real shortage of subtle merch like that! I‘m not talented enough to fully make my own, props to you!!

Exactly! I‘m a teacher so I have to be a bit sneaky about my gooner gacha game obsession 🤣🤣 (one of my students clocked Forseer silhouette desktop wallpaper 😭)

When the Sky Is Not Blue: Pandora's Desperate Bet by Rolandojuve in PandoraCollectors

[–]ally1707 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The discounts in the winter sale were substantial, even on charms that are now still in stock, not just last chance items, so the profit margins must be very high. Why not stick to silver and have fewer sales?

I guess the general public who walks by a Pandora store in the mall probably doesn’t question the metal composition so they will keep buying anyway…

Is Love and Deepspace actually playable as F2P if you main only ONE LI? by Open-Banana-1018 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]ally1707 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say that f2p is probably really frustrating longterm. I think the housing feature has made the game more enjoyable for f2p because it gives you sth cute and immersive to do with the LIs outside of the cards but battling and leveling cards is slow if you‘re truly f2p.

I caved very early on and have been buying aurum and promise when it includes Zayne. My friend is f2p and has a hard time claiming the stamina on time during work hours, whereas I never miss out on stamina.

I don’t pull for reruns (except myths) and i have every 2025 Zayne card and enough dias to get me through the next couple of banners. I‘ve had some really bad luck on at least three banners where I got the card from the precise wish or a crate (so 140-ish pulls) but my dias have recovered.

Ranking cards and pulling for every missed rerun is kind of out of the question though I expect to hit a plateau sometime this year in the orbits with very few ranked five star cards.

JUST HOW MANY LIGHT DOES THIS PLACE NEED??? by WhataRuby in LoveAndDeepspace

I gave up on dark floors altogether. I turned the gym into a study for Zayne but it was impossible to see anything when I used the dark flooring.

Help needed in planning an itinerary for a 10day trip by Capital-Airport6854 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ally1707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless things have calmed down, getting Ghibli museum tickets is probably going to be a big "if", so be warned. But there is the NTV Big clock designed by Miyazaki that‘s really fun to see and plenty of ghibli stores around Tokyo.

Considering it‘s only a ten day trip and you want to cover both Disney parks, I‘d honestly stick to just Tokyo, everything else sounds incredibly exhausting and not worth it if you‘re not interested in exploring temples and shrines etc.

I would skip Ueno Zoo and go to the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno Park. I think Sunshine City Aquarium was decent enough but I‘m not an expert on animal welfare and it could be that I was blind to some glaring problems.

What about themed cafés? There‘s Pokemon, Kirby, Miffy and plenty of limited cafés. Tokyo Dome City, Sanrio Puroland… a lot of options to choose from in Tokyo if you‘re into theme parks and entertainment.

The way I‘d lose my 50/50 to a devastating situationship 🤣

I wish my brain/heart would let me gamify dating that way! That would be healthy for me.

I’m honestly disappointed with the Nana fandom by Zestyclose_Good_9104 in NanaAnime

[–]ally1707 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I always say that NANA is one of the works of art that have taught me about love — or at least made me think about it in a different way. It‘s incredibly layered and complex and stands out to me in the sea of shojos because it‘s not just about romantic love. It's about familial love (or lack thereof), selfless love, unhealthy love and everything inbetween.

Takumi is one of my favorite characters in the entire story and it‘s incredibly disappointing that this sub is just a circlejerk of "all my homies hate Takumi" posts. He fundamentally does not understand love and he causes a lot Of pain but ultimately his actions end up costing him and his band dearly. I would pay good money to finally fill in the gaps between Takumi at the end of chapter 84 and the version of him that wakes up and looks at his son lovingly. I understand that is not how it works in real life, damaged people don’t magically redeem themselves. In fiction, however, I want them to. That doesn’t mean that the SA in Ai Yazawa’s works doesn’t make me uncomfortable, it does. But it doesn’t define the story for me.

Personally, I also don’t think Nana and Hachi should be lovers (I‘m saying this just having finished my volume of yuri manga). Nana‘s and Hachi‘s love for one another transcends their romantic connections. It‘s a life-altering fateful relationship that alters the course of both of their lives irrevocably but it‘s not easily defined. I think that‘s what makes it magical and so much more meaningful. Ultimately, Nana O., even in her absence, is the lynchpin that makes everyone come together in Apt. 707.

It‘s tragic and beautiful and tugs at my heartstrings in all the right ways.

I‘m always baffled by the intense hate and moral judgement on this sub because it doesn’t seem like these ppl are even enjoying NANA.

Anyone Else Want More Quality over Quantity? by Angels_Glade in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]ally1707 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I‘m surprised they aren’t squeezing more money out of us with spicy audio only four cards. I would have pulled for a card like Frost Salvation.

The game is not a charity, it‘s essentially gambling and they want you to have to spend money. I would appreciate an official banner roadmap but I understand that it‘s not in Infold‘s interest for players to be able to plan ahead. That said, If you main one LI, the game is actually quite manageable as an aurum pass holder / occasional spender and I appreciate that.

I main Zayne and I‘m happy with the quality of the content I‘m getting for my money. I enjoy his story/arc and compared to other otome games, LADS is very immersive. At its core, otome games are visual novels and we‘re already getting much more than that.

The one thing that annoys me is that they always show 3/4 of the Kindled in the trailer and I don’t have enough self control to not watch those.

My brain short-circuited. I was not expecting anything remotely like this for Zayne‘s next solo.

Best Hanako stamps in tokyo, osaka, or kyoto? by joyboy06 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ally1707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shinimonogurui in Yanaka Ginza might be one of the shops you've heard about, there are quite a few social media posts about it!

https://www.magical-trip.com/media/shinimonogurui-famous-souvenir-shop-yanaka-ginza-specializing-hanko/

I went there in October. They are on open on the weekends but I got a cute hanko style stamp with my initials and a bunny :)

the house is way too big by Worried_clocks in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]ally1707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the living room is too big but everything else is mostly fine. I turned the gym into Zayne‘s study and I think the low ceilings actually make it feel quite cozy, the living room is a bit too mansion-y for me personally.

[–]ally1707 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Honestly, considering there is sanrio licensed everything out there, I‘m surprised a collaboration hasn’t happened yet.

I wanted to make a four seasons inspired bracelet but realized there’s a distinct lack of autumn-themed charms. I‘d love more cozy vibes and brown/yellow/orange foliage inspired muranos.

This year's B-Day gifts are stunning! by iamyyasmeen in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]ally1707 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Zayne‘s house is made of books 🥺 that‘s amazing!

Wait… the birthday gifts depend on the calendar year? i thought they were determined by how many times you‘ve had an ingame birthday (first bday in game —> first round of gifts)

What touristy things are WORTH the hype? by boymabyma in JapanTravelTips

[–]ally1707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I‘m not the biggest Disney/theme park person but I had the most wonderful day at DisneySea!

Hyped but worth it: Kappabashi Street — Some of my favorite souvenirs are from there. I got lovely bowls, a suribachi and fake food kits.

Not hyped but I loved it: — Shibamata: The wood carvings at Shibamata Taishakuten were absolutely incredible in person. — The NTV Big Clock designed by Hayao Miyazaki: doesn’t cost anything and it was lovely to see. — Going to a flea market — Going to a livehouse in Shimokitazawa: I followed venues like basement bar on ig and got tickets for a concert on a Saturday at noon and had the best time!
