I enjoyed this quite alot ^^ short and sweet but also surprisingly indepth? All the characters were genuinely super interesting to talk, the way they talk about their kinks, and just how normal they were about made it all feel so real and genuine. The dream stuff was so genuinely interesting even though my brain was struggling to wrap itself around all the interpretation and perspective stuff but i think it was parsed very well! My favorite characters have to be Ash and Liam, i enjoyed their kinda amusing but so easygoing dialog that i kinda quickly found comfort in them, I also really liked their ending together after talking to them twice, because like, ive been in that kind of situation with Papaya feelings before and it was so nice seeing them just talk and be so understanding about it. All the kink stuff made me feel super warm and nice and fuzzy inside and Cerise was such amazing support, i think i resonated alot with this vn and it made me a bit more comfortable with my own kinks^^ (which i appreciate) 10/10
omgosh thank you so much! what a lovely comment
i also love ash and liam haha. they've been percolating for ages but never gotten any screen time and i love how they came out so mucn
A little weird and very short, but oddly delightful!
just like lexy!
The writing is charming and feels really believable, it always feels rooted in a sense of real connection with a person. It was also a fun surprise to see the Charlies again! And the conversation that Papaya can have with Ash n' Liam after meeting those two might be my favorite one, I really liked how everyone was able to resolve something casually inconsiderate and potentially sad into a chance to meet someone new and consider others. My favorite ending is probably the flowerplay one though, it's such an intimate idea and it feels kind of wild that I've never seen that before? Of course I'd bump flowers with someone else's flower if i had one!! And Lexy's little icon is such a great addition to this experience haha, I loved the flustered face she made when she'd get brought up.
The music was a nice accompaniment too, it was atmospheric and didn't distract while not falling into being white noise either. And Cheezball is there.
i've had this open for a WEEK thinking "wow i should reply to this" but i don't really know what to say except wow thanks!! and i also love mini lexy haha. also ash and liam. wow those guys came out great. they feel so bumbling but they sort of bumble in the right direction together
this art is so nice and also really funny because (a) cheezball's interruption corresponds exactly with a real world cheeseball interruption as that section was being written, and (b) i changed it to say "a mysterious force..." at the last minute with the intention that i am the mysterious force but it is a very cat thing as well
