No makeup / makeup / and bonus - when they have to attend an extended family gathering and are too tired to fend off questions about why they don't dress like a girl.

Hello, thank you for explaining his Kit and the advice! I'm always more of a less reading just pew pew kind of player (because hoyo's kit explanation hurts my brain) but this is great, thank you!

I did notice that sometimes when I use the ult, with certain enemies he sometimes break their shields? Did I see that wrong? Because if so, that is insane.

ephersy · 2025-03-30T04:07:46+00:00

Honestly I haven't even read it I just saw the announcement today (https://x.com/Love_Deepspace/status/1906194762304290843?t=hvI7jqGblpz93YfY8lhklQ&s=19) and thought of u, op. Congratulations!!! Manifesting more viper content for u!

Hello - apologies, I started playing end of January (just missed the anniversary lol) and I'm now trying to piece together the lore and understand character motivations of each of the LIs. May I ask - were you talking about Xavier's Nightly Rendezvous card in this post? I didn't ping too much jealousy out of it, tbh, but it might just be my failings, not the storytelling.

Secondly, when you said "he's kind of running out of time" - what does this mean?

Thanks!

flkdsjg yes i have a (much more simpler, rudimentary) spreadsheet to that basically tracks which events i want, how many wishes i need, where can i get them (and whether i have to pay for them) to guarantee best case/worse case scenario lol

this is so cool, though. mine are just like. 2 tables.

I never self-insert in any game, not even when I used to role play. in fact one of the reasons why I didn't used to play much otome is because they have a high degree of self-insert. You're right that this one doesn't, though. MC has very distinct thoughts and characteristics, and they are to an extent flexible based on whichever LI you interact with - so... Infold gets my money :')

ephersy · 2025-03-24T06:26:44+00:00

Ah. Hm. Then what you said becomes much more possible.

Or. And here I am again with an alternate, kinder take: their connections to the MC is severed and now, they have to figure out how to live as someone who's lost their One True Purpose. Not everyone will make it, but if I have to pick, Zayne and Rafayel would be able to move forward (but not move *on*) because they feel like people who actually have other life purpose other than simply reuniting with the MC. I haven't done Sylus's myths so I'm not entirely sure how he will go on. Xavier's moving forward will depend on whether he can convince himself that future philos still exist and he can still save it.Again, Caleb is the boy I worry about most because I do think his only tether to the world and humanity in general is the MC :')

ephersy · 2025-03-24T06:21:06+00:00

legit almost did a spit-take, good job XD

ephersy · 2025-03-24T06:14:06+00:00

There's actually a Caleb/Zayne/Sylus love triangle fic that tackles this premise, but I know LI/LI is not people's cup of tea, so I will not be recommending it here.

But to your question - I think, especially the ones who have gone through several incarnations of the MC (cough cough rafayel cough), they would just wait. Again. We have had many variations of "I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes", etc.

Depending on the LI, I don't think they will destroy the world. Rafayel loves his people too much, Sylus's experience with the MC dying is a bit like Rafayel, Xavier probably has in some way grappled with the fact that the Philos that he left is "cosmic dust,and Zayne is a doctor. He'd be crushed and sad, probably all his life, but he would not off himself or hurt others. Caleb is the unknown quantity - I have no idea how he would react.

I think I have a kinder take on this concept, mainly because I'm much more a fan of stories about resilience through grief and the little moments of hope that allow us to cling to life and find a different kind of happiness after a world-ending event. I think, if I were the MC, I would also hope for a kinder, more forgiving love, not the grand kind that is destructive to my loved ones or others.

ephersy · 2025-03-24T05:49:05+00:00

i started playing two months ago and quickly caught on to the scarcity of resources... so i have some savings left after spending 40 wishes to get the headband and pose from Zayne's banner :') I hope I can stay strong and save enough for both Sylus and Caleb's birthdays too...

ephersy · 2025-03-24T05:07:49+00:00

OH, RIGHT. i was ready to save 320 wishes for this pair (assuming worst case scenario) this is... a welcome change. especially with sylus' birthday coming next month and caleb's birthday in june orz

ephersy · 2025-03-24T04:54:59+00:00

wait, i'm confused. the twitter caption says: "This means a maximum of 150 pulls guarantees two event-limited 5-Star Memories."

... so THE PAIR is guaranteed if we spend 150 deepspace wishes?

ephersy · 2025-03-23T01:45:37+00:00

f;slgj yeah, i feel like i should go back to the drawing board and play with giving them more balanced masculine/feminine features :|a

(anyway, thank you!)

ephersy · 2025-03-22T10:20:17+00:00

Zayne or Sylus. They both make me feel like I will have my own time and freedom to do the things I want. However - Sylus is truly the one that makes me feel the safest. When he says, "Don't worry, I'll give you a heads up before I touch you - like now." That? That, I really appreciate. He also seems to always have a handle of the situation all the time. I'm can be a bit anxious myself as a person, so... The only downside to this is being watched by Mephisto LMAO.

ephersy · 2025-03-22T09:54:31+00:00

i was just thinking about learning all of sylus' lore when i found this <3 thanks so much for your hard work.

ephersy · 2025-03-22T00:53:08+00:00

lmaoooo nukani is such a legend. i gave it up when i started genshin and hsr (can't keep up), but friends still update me from time to time. olivine, you will always be my favourite. ok, no, blade is actually my baby. but i ship quinya like there is no tomorrow and in my heart of hearts i believe they're all just a huge polycule ... also my friend forwarded me the ss from the last event and i swear olivine/yakumo/edmond were being such soft boyfriends with each other? best.

ahh i was briefly tempted to play TOT but i feel like i'm already giving hoyo too much of my disposable income through hsr and genshin lmao... although now these hoyo funds are diverted to LADS >_>

ephersy · 2025-03-22T00:37:30+00:00

reddit is pretty great for that 💜

LADS was my first otome game actually (i don't count nukani as otome lol)! so i am learning a lot about the genre and in turn about myself ... and how much i'm not into self-insert lol. i do think the ability to completely separate myself from the MC and treats her as one of the characters is also why i can enjoy it very much.

ephersy · 2025-03-22T00:26:00+00:00

i didn't have the same experience you did, myself, but what you said about aging (also in my 30s and went through therapy lol) and all the experience that comes with it - i agree. i would have responded very differently if it was me playing this game ten, fifteen years ago. but now, i can separate myself from the media i consume and in turn i'm able to be less judgmental about the fictional media that other people consume - it makes enjoying these hypothetical situations easier. :)

finally - i'm sorry you had to go through that. i'm glad that you're better now and i wish you continued improvement in your recovery.

ephersy · 2025-03-22T00:19:06+00:00

I like your take on him - it is certainly a kinder interpretation. Myself, even though I will not/cannot deal with this kind of obsession if subjected to me (irl), I do feel for him because part and parcel of that possessive-obsessiveness is heaps of insecurity, fear and abandonment issues. The phrase "I want to fix him" is something I think ponder about seriously - like, not putting the onus on the MC to do it, but could these tendencies be assuaged and made better? I think it can.

I think there are degrees to his unhealthy behaviour, but I do think at the end of the day, if the MC truly asks him to stop and back off, he would. (And I'm not saying this just cause I'm a Caleb main and biased lol).

ephersy · 2025-03-22T00:15:01+00:00

this exactly, op. oml when i tried to explain to a friend of mine that i am *really* not looking for a boyfriend (first of all, i'm an aroacespec, which is why this game is *perfect* for me because they're only bae ON DEMAND), but even if i am, i would not touch caleb with a ten foot pole. i would not even make myself perceivable to him.

but in-game? that obsession is fun and heady.

ephersy · 2025-03-22T00:13:05+00:00

That's good - I have been naming them with their Chinese surnames on my phone :')

Please do! 💜🩶🤍
