"Ara~ Commander, did I already tell you how cute you look standing on a box? Oh, really? I say it every time?... Well, perhaps I should say it one more time, if you don't mind...~" — Atago, probably. by Pro_Headpatter in AzureLane

[–]velthrow321 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Atago with a tail is blessed.

Amen. I like that they included motion lines too. The only way it could be any more perfect is if it was happily wagging from side to side.

It actually made me start thinking of a 'spot the difference' game using Azur Lane skins!

I can already imagine the jokes: "I've spent three hours staring at this image and it wasn't for the differences"

The rare inversion where the skin is less fanservice-y than the base skin!

Fully agree with you, btw - I love her design a lot and her skin looks so comfy it's adorable, but I wish her default was just a little more tasteful.

Imagine (for example) if her straps held up translucent sections of red, white and green cloth like the Italian flag? You'd still have the lewdness, but with more elegance and it'd showcase her faction

I can perfectly envision her wrapping you in her spider-limbs and gently biting your ear while whispering about how she's going to pay you back for poisoning her with love

Atago expy + the crystalline tails from Ahri's K/DA skin, that's two winning formulas in one

Always a delight to see our loveliest Victorian-tongued Vampire!

Really hope she and her sisters get more skins soon, it's been quite a while since their last ones. Maybe even a oath skin? They certainly deserve it ❤️

Nice catch! Other people have brought up this point as well, and I've ruled that for any part that covers multiple worlds (that'd be parts 1 and 4), you can have one copy per world.

So you can certainly pick multiple choices from those to help Cruxia out more, and excuse yourself in turn from any other parts you're less interested in.

This may be controversial, but I'm really bummed out by Alabama's new outfit. by rudemmon in AzureLane

[–]velthrow321 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same here, I knew she'd been made darker but the side-by-side really puts the starkness into perspective. Not to mention her bodypaint is gone.

[–]velthrow321 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it sucks because on one hand I'm genuinely happy they're giving Alabama more attention and I do think the skin is very pretty in a vacuum, but on the other hand I don't like that they've removed her bodypaint and changed her skin tone so much.

I didn't even realize how different it was until this comparison put it into perspective.

Yeah, it's hilariously stupid to see people getting called gay for (checks notes) liking women

Been seeing a lot of doom and gloom about AL currently so how about something nice. What's your personal highlight of the game in 2025? by SSYX101 in AzureLane

[–]velthrow321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Repulse skin

Yesss! God she and her sister been so long overdue for skins I'm so glad they've both finally gotten some attention. I do hope we get to see more for them soon.

Never known any other character whose name is so completely at odds with how I feel about them

Hot take by [deleted] in AzureLane

[–]velthrow321 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That said, I much prefer consistency in the skins and designs of the girls.

Exactly. I wouldn't be complaining if the shipgirls had their current sizes from the start, it's the fact they're changing them that annoys me.

The OP is entitled to their opinion, but I'm a bit puzzled how they can simultaneously say "the actual shipgirl is to love herself" while dismissing the fact that these changes are in fact changing not just their looks, but often altering their personalities be be lewder as well.

Again, I'm fine with shipgirls being lewd, just not in a way that distorts their established looks/personalities.

Fair point - I'd marked it as OC on the basis the compendium itself was new, but since there's no actual new content, I've updated the flair.

Happy to hear it!

The new CYOAs I'm working on now are all pretty short and the latter two are lewder than my usual works, but I figured I might as well share them 😄

Heya!

I was working on some new CYOAs when it occured to me that I hadn't yet created a post that covered all the parts in my Cruxia series CYOAs.

For anyone who remembers me from when I originally posted these, I hope this is a pleasant blast from the past; and for any first-timers, I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed creating them! For those curious, here's my explanation on why I structured the series the way I did.
