Good night, all! Errands kind of ate today, alas.

Tomorrow I will start this killer hippo novella, here. #sffbookclub

Regardless, the story's finally got me to feel invested in a way it hadn't before--I want to see Giselle happy and I want to see Michel free to be whomever he wants to be. Or they want to be? I wonder if the story ends with different choices for their final identity? #vn #visualnovels #vns #visualnovel

Aw, now we're getting into one of the two mains having PTSD. Aw, Giselle. And Michel is--I heard a spoiler that he's intersex, and it looks like his mother considers him a woman? So was he raised as a man or a woman? Is the White-Haired Girl a specter of who his mother wanted him to be, that haunts both he and Giselle? #vn #visualnovels #vns #visualnovel

I made a master post for the July #sffbookclub book! https://fediverse-reads.dreamwidth.org/933.html

Dressing for stats is a true hardship. #ffxiv

Poor Camille currently looks like he's killed a bunch of oven mitts and made them into an outfit... #ffxiv

House in Fata Morgan or, I Thought I Knew What I Was In For.

Came for a Gothic multigenerational horror tragedy, now seem to be a gender-shifting reincarnating human who just can't get romance right and now has to multigenerationally figure it out. #vns #vn #visualnovels #visualnovel

...So I guess I'm not even halfway through the game? Huh. Well, I hope Giselle and I get together in the end :P She seems more fun than the White-Haired Girl.

Ah-ha, got to the Big Twist in the story. Which makes me wonder how the stories behind the other doors actually went? If there was no White-Haired Girl. Or if the White-Haired Girl was actually Michel in all of the stories just--misincarnated. I suspect the latter. #vns #vn #visualnovel #visualnovels

#amreading The Labyrinth of Spirits (in Spanish, so fancy). It's 900 pages! Also it's back to focusing on Fermin. While Fermin is a fantastic character, I feel a bit like Ruis Zafon (the author) got way too attached to him and let him stretch out a narrative that was complete in the first volume of the series...

We're all feeling pretty demoralized, I think.

Take a spare morel to help you re-up your supply, and pass it along.

I do hope there are choices that give me agency over who "I" reveal myself to be, in the end. I'd pick Jacopo, so far, since he was mostly just messed up by his family and should have learned how to communicate feelings. I wouldn't want to be I-Love-Murder Guy or Completely-Ingenuous-Clueless Kid.
