So yeah, I hesitate to use these sorta buzzwords, but as a bisexual guy, I guess it's been interesting to try my hand at writing queer romance between two female leads. It's nothing spectacular or anything to write home about, but I think I gave it an honest effort.

Content-wise, I suppose it could count as "completed" given that the story already has a finale and epilogue written out. Tho I've left the middle arc kinda at a standstill, which I guess just to take my time with it.

It's been an interesting experience working on this, albeit started out with a lot of frustration and anguish (still kinda is).
I guess the key takeaway is that despite being given a playground, I still exhibit a lot of restraint when it comes to expressing themes that I feel like I shouldn't write.

Wanted to share about Heiress' War, a writing project I started since July. It began as a side story to my team's visual novel, Hero's Advent - but has since become somewhat of a playground for me to explore my own psyche, via two female protagonists.

I haven't made a post here in a while, but I finally put together a video, albeit a more introspective approach, since I don't really have anything showy (nor did I want that approach) - I guess doubles as an outlet for me to process what happened.

I was curious (and bored), and a bit dissatisfied with the Senko desk lamp standee I bought a few weeks ago, and decided to order one from a more expensive shop.
Massive difference. It's bigger, got better cutout, thicker, and virtually no blemishes at all.
Welp, never skimp out on quality, folks.

Take a moment from doom scrolling to rest among the weary. Perhaps, share a kind word for fellow travelers?

I love it, this was a nice way to just resolve the conflict entirely. The curse was there, and you can't really remove it, but from Senko's care and everyone coming into Nakano's life, it weakened and turned into a baby so it too, could be pampered, like Nakano.

Good lord, I cried so much at this scene again T_T
The emotional catharsis was insane

I just wanted an excuse to practice writing Southern twang dialogue for Fukuda, given that was what the Eng fan translation went for. I may have mucked up the grammar in some lines, but it was very fun attempting this.

This part made me CRY. I was like "NOOOO DON'T DO THIS TO MEEEEE T_T"

So yeah, while I know there already exists an English fan-translation out there, I still wanted to do this just for fun. I really loved how the story ended in this arc, along with how Nakano's curse got resolved.
Figured I just would post it here for the sake of putting it out there.

So I was binging the Helpful Fox Senko-san manga last week, and after finishing the finale, I was so emotionally invested, I decided to translate chapter 89 and 90 from Vietnamese into English (weirdly enough, a lot of the Eng chapters on mangadex got deleted due to DMCA).

Got a Senko-san desk lamp. It's just a see-through standee, but I quite like it. Arrived just as I finished the manga so far, too.
Some weird twists and turns in between, but the ending was amazing. Such an emotional rollercoaster. I cried when Nakano and Senko essentially got married

Well.. at least there are some unofficial merch that I can buy off of shopee. And there's still the manga to read.
Senko's such a best girl, really everything I needed during the past shitty year or so of my life... Shit's been so difficult. I often feel just like Nakano, constantly depressed...

Man... Watching Senko-san was really nice. But now I'm sad because it's almost treated like a dead IP. No season 2.
Manga already finished. Not popular enough to keep getting merch. Official merch all sold out.

Almost feels like I came to know this title a bit too late. Even tho I love it so much

It is quite empowering to still be able to tell yourself: this is a good day, if not, this is going to be a good day.
In spite of all the uncertainties of life and of the future.

It was a bit sobering. In his apartment room he had several of his flatmates playing some boardgames or just hanging out as we sat on the side and talked. At some point I woke up, leaving me just wondering about things...

Had a dream where I met up with this guy that was ousted from the old group of people I left back in November. Trying to find him was an ordeal. But he seemed fine with talking to me. I apologized to him for having been harsh before, and we talked about what happened with the old group, why I left.
