Watching a playthru of Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk while I work on stuff and while I'm enjoying the story, setting, and characters, and i super love when heroines dress as men, its just. Painfully cishet lmao.

Like. In one of these stories id love the male LIs to be like “huh I guess I like men too” or for the heroine to just lean into being masc instead of becoming waifish for romance plot reasons, especially since Jed has a interesting reason she's hiding her gender since she was young. Imo there is merit to how Jed feels more herself and her gender the more she's able to be more vulnerable with the LIs, but idk about the overarching narrative leaning towards "Jed is a girl and therefore will become more girlish no matter how masc she attempts to be" which is a little. :/

I'm also thinking of a type of an inspired and more queer vn where Jed can go for Tee (im rabid with how fucking cute theyd be and ofc the devs wont let Tee be a route bc lmao Surely We Cannot Have Queers In This Otome Game) and the tavern lady who gave her womens clothing so Jed can cross-crossdress, but dangit my hands are too tied to make vns atm orz

You know, I'm looking back on this post and while I've known this for a while, it's just reinforcing that your peers are making what you want and mainstream will never bc of mainstream being Like That. I've been reading a lot of queer indie vns and I've been so gd Spoiled in terms of media that gives me a sense of fufillment compared to being exposed to mainstream otoges lmao

(Don't take this as me saying the Psychedelica otomes are bad bc theyre really good games with fantastic characters, I just have gender gripes with how Ashen Hawk is being done lol)

anyways does anyone want to shoot me a few hundred monthly bucks on my kofi so I can make Psychedelica of the Lesbians quicker. Like seriously, tsundere princess of one of the warring clans and the flirty tavern lady have eyes for the town's butch handyman
