fabio and dietrich's dynamic is great, but i did have a lot of fun seeing dietrich and talimun interact, it must be said

one little girl npc called him scary and i will never forget her

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

dietrich gets called beautiful so many times that i started keeping a running tally for the fun of it. so far fabio's in the lead but the list also encompasses pretty much every character who's spoken to dietrich, plus some npcs

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

anyway! i have now started dietrich's route, which was one of the two routes i was most looking forward to playing based on the trailers (the other being leda's) and so far it has NOT disappointed

the battles in part 2 were definitely harder than part 1, or at the very least they were on much bigger maps and therefore took me much longer. i swear a chunk of my playtime in the game is just me dithering about where to place units in battle

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

finished cai's part 2, in which i was tricked at least twice into thinking a battle was the final battle when it was, in fact, not the final battle

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

finished cai's part 1! onward to part 2 because at this point i am madly curious about what that entails

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

cai calling talimun 'talimun-ossan' made me laugh

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

seems like talimun has his own theme during his paralogue? it really suits him

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

paralogue battles have started popping up! kept hearing that it was really easy to miss them, especially bertrand's, so i'm glad i didn't

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

benditz' bird time was funny. knew it'd be gold from the moment he called eshmel a 'wittle birdie'

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

nydine made me give her two axes and nuzzuo made me give him three bows...what did they do with them, squirrel them away for the winter??

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

baffling when characters you want to recruit in fortune's weave make you give them weapons, even multiple weapons, and when they join your team those weapons are nowhere to be seen in their inventory

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

still can't believe cai called nuzzuo ojisan...it's a japanese game, cai, i promise you this guy is probably in his early 20s at the oldest

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

anyway i guess this will be my fire emblem: fortune's weave thread. i'm currently playing as cai, because looking at all the flame lords' stories at the beginning i realised going from the good boy to the various revenge- and battle-bent adults would probably result in the least tonal whiplash

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

and why are you asking me to tell you a bird fable, seteth?? i AM a bird, i can't talk!!! you weirdo (complimentary)

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

ok WHY in the name of all that is holy and pure is 'sit still' not a good response to 'i'd like to take a look at you, please' in bird time?? #fireemblem

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

will post about it more in the coming days but for now i just needed to yell about it somewhere before i let my brain atrophy for the rest of the day

i'll be honest it still doesn't feel entirely real that i've got a bl light novel coming out. will that change when it's out? i am not sure

000

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

happy #yaoiday! been a much much busier year than i anticipated and i've only just been keeping my head above water, but will post more about his reluctant thrall as soon as i'm allowed to!

yaotome's utter dread here is so relatable lol

a page from the manga MY INSTRUCTOR WON'T YIELD by deme kingyobachi, published by kodansha.

000

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

it's a cute oneshot! and the english cover suits the tone of the story, which is reasonably light and not very explicit. there are a lot of twists and turns, and i wish the story had been just a bit longer so they had more breathing room. but maybe the structure was deliberate given the premise lol

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

first BL read of the year! MY INSTRUCTOR WON'T YIELD by deme kingyobachi, published in english by kodansha kodansha.us/series/my-in...

tbh for a number of reasons i'm feeling pretty anxious going into 2026. but i hope i read and watch and play lots more things that i enjoy, and that the things i make will find their way into the hands of people who like them. i will be posting about both here! happy 2026, hope it's good to everyone

000

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

not everything went smoothly (i really meant to be done with NIGHTMARE GIRL before the end of 2025, but alas), and i wish i'd done more with my year (because i really could have in some ways, not because i'm being too hard on myself or whatever) but i did do a lot of cool and difficult things! so.

100

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

at the end of both 2024 & 2025, i didn't really have time to stop and take stock of the previous year before the new one started. so gonna take a sec to acknowledge that in 2025 i: - won 1st prize in the jnovel club OLN contest - published the first part of my first ever VN - watched 53 movies lol

On the heels of the failure of big money pushes for NFTs, crypto, wearables, and the metaverse, it is absurd to hold the position of "AI is inevitable and we must learn to live with it." It's also a craven position that suggests we shouldn't fight for what we value. We decide our own fates.

working on the rest of NIGHTMARE GIRL! there are two more characters that weren't introduced in the first part of the game, and here's one of them 👀 #screenshotsaturday

a guy with brown hair and dressed in office clothes (white shirt, red tie, brown slacks) stands in the middle of an office

a text box along the bottom of the screen reads
MINOSE
--ten whole minutes for a catch-up on why you've turned into a space cadet.

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

this probably happens with other types of comics too, maybe light novels and other prose books as well, but i've encountered it most often (probably proportionally) with manga

000

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

personally don't trust people who claim to love a manga series and can't name the artist/creator(s) who made it. and there are more such people than you'd think!!!

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

i cannot prove this by any means but that has not stopped me from becoming unreasonably convinced that arachne's voice and character design from hades 2 was modelled on kristen chenoweth

watched the apartment (1960) and vertigo (1958) over the weekend because they make a pretty good double feature if you don't mind the somewhat depressing thing they have in common #filmsky

art as escapism is fine but art cannot JUST be escapism, art cannot always be comforting, or make you happy, or bring you joy. sometimes art does the opposite, for a reason (or not!), and that kind of art is just as important too, if not more sometimes

ghost-heart @ghost-heart.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

wholeheartedly agree with the premise of 'make it exist first, you can make it good later' but also most of the artwork i've seen in the specific meme format that's been floating around already looks good even at the make it exist stage lol
