>I’m not a lillyfag but I actually don’t think she’s a Mary Sue. She’s actually quite manipulative.
>She knew that she would leave for Scotland as early as Act 1. Think about the foreshadowing in her cinematic, how she and Hisao are broken up as the camera pans to a plane.
>She knew she was going to leave and was just playing with Hisao and Hanako. It took Hisao having a heart attack to change her mind. She was using you and Hanako and she had the full intentions of going to Scotland and never seeing either of you again.
maybe. I get the feeling this was done in order to accentuate that hisao is this stiff, unemotional dude that just doesn't get the hints he receives from women and therefore doesn't get lilly's cue that she needs to discuss with him whether she should go to scotland or not. and so once she kinda realises that hisao can't be bothered to be invested in her emotions, she makes that decision silently. not that solid of an explanation, but I can't come up with much else I love Lilly I don't know what to do

>>687466035
>Yeah, I felt the same way. I cried for a while and had crippling anxiety for about a month when I first finished her route. She's the love of my life.
you poor thing. did you try talking to people on here and discussing the game so it wouldn't feel as unbearable? holding your emotions in is a nightmare. hell I made this thread and am still having a hard time managing it. perhaps you at least left a comment on the wiki page to ease the pain

>>492821205
lilly.. my eyes are wet again

>>687466469
>yeah, kind of cruel of her, even tough she displays herself as caring, elegant and pure, she really is quite manipulative/selfish and pervy, maybe Suriko wanted to make a contrast since her disability is blindness, she's also the most physically attractive from all katawas (according to 4chan survey) this route focuses on Hisao and his heart problem more than her, other routes focus more on the main heroine's problem and Hisao "fixing" it, but it also makes Lilly's run a tense emotional rollescoaster, the wheat field scene, the airport scene, the hospital when the music box starts to play, this shit is really gives you feels.
>Also the ending feels more like an epilogue from all the other routes, a satysfying farewell, when I played Hanako route I was suprised that it ended so suddenly, I thought there will be more to it...
dude it doesn't just "give you feels", IT ANNIHILATES YOU EMOTIONALLY. LILLYS ROUTE OBLITERATES YOUR SOUL ;_; AAAAAAAAAA ITS UNBEARABLE HER LOVE STORY IS JUST INSANE. you are right in saying that her route feels like an epilogue for everyone else because it's really conclusive and wraps everything up in a soothing way. but Jesus Christ am I still in pain over this I don't know what to do this game hurts my heart and soul please help me I'm begging

On the other hand, I don't want to get immersed in the idyllic, youthful fantasy only to remember I'm an adult pushing 30 and those days are gone forever. I shouldn't be this sensitive but KS has the weight of nostalgia behind it.
katawa shoujo has the weight of a giant brick slamming right into your face because God knows I am in pain over this game's melancholy and have been crying for days now. if you do replay it, it's going to sting dude. you will probably have a breakdown like I did, so it's best for you to be surrounded by compassionate people that will take care of you and try to hear you out and calm you down, should you decide to complete it again

played through summer's clover last night, the writing's really nice. seeing hisao from the outside he is a pretty loveable guy, but the suzu route is definitely the kicker. warms the heart seeing those two together...

I finished Lilly's route last night and some tears did come out
So that's 2 routes completed not sure who I should do next and so far I have only cried a little bit
Does that mean I can still feel human emotions

thanks for reply, I was posting in that Lilly thread on vee, when I finished her route I was so emotionally attached to her that I started to make posts and one particular anon on /c/ (https://desuarchive.org/c/thread/4307378) said (picrel), and I was so depressed and wanted to cry when I read that, I knew I had to take a break from this game cause it has a great impact on me.
But yeah, Lilly's run makes a change in you, it evokes feelings that you haven't felt in a long long time.

>>492851147
you know what I think? I'm not defending that guy or looking for excuses, but if I call him a cocksucker or a troll, I won't deliver anything original since any of us would consider someone like him a total prick. however, I have this guess (because I've been having similar thoughts since childhood despite hating the thought of hurting anyone) that sometimes people are so compassionate and caring that they.. uh how do I put this... your mind sort of loses balance and tips over and, in an attempt to offer infinite love to someone important to you, you begin to daydream about negative and cruel scenarios of what could, God forbid, happen to them. maybe that's the case with this guy? I mean I know chances are slim and it's most likely he's just trolling or a genuine prick, but since I also sometimes catch my mind drifting off into daydreaming about such cruelties SPECIFICALLY because I love someone, I thought I'd share that ._.
okay, now, as for the other points I'd like to discuss, first of all: thank you for posting in that thread ;) I haven't missed a single post there and carefully went through everything that each poster had to say. now that you're sharing your feelings on her and this game with me, I want to tell you that since we're practically both suffering from the same depression caused by lilly's route, I would gladly hug you and hear you out and be compassionate about your feelings because I know how painful and torturous it is.
and your assessment is pretty on-point -- lilly's route does precisely that -- evokes feelings that you haven't felt in a long time. hence the cathartic reaction you just break down and cry and feel weak and feel nostalgic and your heart is just tormented over it all. say, how long ago did you complete the game? have you fully moved on or are you still melancholic and depressed over lilly and the game overall? is it true that only time helps you move on, or did you try something else?

>>492847698
will you agree that lilly's route is the most sentimental and touching one?

thanks for the feels man, but I think it's too early for hugs but you're really nice, I haven't seen anyone so passionate, emotional, sentimental and empathic on 4chan, I'm glad I found this general.
After I completed Lilly's route, I got these warm and positive feelings, shit made me feel alive, I remember playing her route in late january/early february, and I couldn't wait for sun to set, get dark, jump on my comfy dekstop, run the game and experience the story, that was so addictive I had to restrain myself to play at least 1 hour a day to keep the feels longer, before completing it.
But I not only felt positive emotions - I also became depressed because I was compromised with such a beatiful love story that 's not possible to achieve irl. I also kind of wished to be in the same spot as Hisao - I became so jealous at his circumstances but also happy for him.
Even tough I didn't cry that much in any of the routes I played, I experienced strong emotions towards every situation in the all katawas stories they were presented to me, I'm so glad I found this game and managed to read it all.
I finished katawa shoujo last week, but I started playing it in december, I wanted to go with slow pace because I wasn't hurrying anywhere and get a better insight at each route.
Well, desu I'm not that melancholic but I will never forget Lilly's story, because it's so beautiful. I did move on, but I wasn't that affected in the first place, I felt strong emotions but they didn't knock me out that easily.
Thanks for posting anon, remember, Lilly's unconditional love will never be replaced by anything.

>>492848539
Enjoyment is very individual for each route, but Shizune's is widely considered the least likely to generate tears. It doesn't have as many moments that are strongly and acutely emotional. How did you think those two routes compared; did you like them?
Also, I don't think you should use guides if you can be strong enough not to.
>>492851147
This is a great image. But the linked "half-scottish half-japanese" made me realize for the first time that Lilly's physical existence seems deeply improbable IRL. I don't believe I have ever once seen someone that was half-East Asian and had blonde hair as an adult. I am somewhat skeptical it's genetically possible outside of extraordinarily rare instances.

Lilly bros not like this. You need to wake up. She's not real but the love you feel for her is. Use that love. You're where you are now because of a series of events both in and out of your control and it's your job to pick up the pieces and push on through. You can't keep going about like this. If you love her, you will keep living for her.

>>492872078
>>492873161
Dont take offense into what im about to say for i am nothing but honest and i'd have no benefit into driving people away from this general.

Initially when i saw your posts today i thought it was an on-the-nose attempt to do a lil bit o' trollin'. If you're been honest, first of all, my apologies for the suspicions and secondly, as much as i'd be contradicting myself from two threads ago, i feel the need to tell you that you need to see the bright side of it. KS is laxative for emotions yes but once you're too occupied by the bad side of it, its not gonna do you any good. If you focus on the good stuff like: Expressing your love for your Katawa in a health manner, sharing fanart, geek out over your Katawa, the game, the devs and anything in between with others, you gonna have a much better an enjoyable time.

>>492875368
>How lewd yet very much desirable.
It was a wholesome kind of shower. Putting on the shampoo, handing her a loofah, seeing her lather up and rinse, then massaging her scalp with conditioner and drying it off gently. I really love my wife.

I agree. Each one has their own style of doing it. I feel like Lilly would take a very long time putting herself together since she cant see what she looks like, but with me there, I'd just comb out her hair, make sure it was silky, put whatever product she wants in it, then give her a big ol smooch on the forehead and let her get dressed. Maybe spank her butt on the way out. For fun.

>>492879907
>Hanako would be flustered both due to her scars and her meek nature so tender actions would be in order
>Emi would probably be playful, splash you with water, maybe something lewd to boot

>Shizune might be a bit on the shy side yet would follow a strict process on how she washes herself

>>492881314
Hanako is such a cutie. I'm not overly fond of her personality, but I understand why so many people like her. Emi is a favorite of mine, too, and honestly I like Shizune a lot. She's not cute in the conventional sense, she's more of a woman than a girl if that makes sense. She's more mature than the others in some ways.

As i've mentioned before, Hanako has a personality that speaks to me on a great level so no doubt im crazy about her.

Emi is the exact opposite with the fact that very active girls and people in general are not my thing and feel like i cant keep up with them but i applaud her thirst for life.

Lilly is without a doubt a woman with a very sophisticated and calming aura which i would definetly hang out with and i wouldnt want to be on her bad side, calm people snap a lot harder than most...

Shizune being in the Student Council really speaks for itself, much like Hisao when choosing routes other than hers, i'd stay clear, i dont want to be forced into responsibilities of which she seems hugely adamant of.

>No mention of Rin
I feel like i'd get along with Rin because im guessing we'd have a similar sense of humor so it would never be a dull moment.

man that picture is gorgeous..
well, since I like attention (which is obviously not the main reason im going insane in these threads) it warms me to see you call me passionate and emotional.. yah, that's what I am and that's the kind of people most of us are!!
for instance, look at how cute YOU are for savoring every moment of the game and trying to play as little as possible so your mind has plenty of room for brooding :) it's a smart way of doing things cuz like you both progress through the game so it's not like you're not doing anything AND have so much time to change and adapt accordingly. your mind is active all the time and by simply stretching out the experience you give your subconscious side so much opportunity for forming new thoughts in the back of your head without even realizing it. as such, the story permeates your personality on a bigger scale.
and I'm glad that YOU'RE glad that you found this game.
something I'd like to add is that the melancholy doesn't just come from the fact girls in real life don't act the way she does, it's also caused, like some people have stated before, by introducing these long-forgotten thoughts and emotions to you once again. I may be projecting but this game makes you either pity yourself and feel miserable for not being worthy of lilly OR pity yourself and value those around you. perhaps you'll cherish your loved ones more after completing this vn, knowing you may lose them at some point. but yeah, it's mostly knowing that you can't reach out and talk to the characters from the game. they won't ever come real and caress you or hang out with you -- we can only fantasize about it. reading your post made me smile a little. you're a good person. but God that music box scene at the end.. oh God I'm not sure how I got through that I was weeping and wailing non-stop that was too much. thankfully the good ending is actually happy but it sure messes you up

Rin is just not my cup of tea. I dunno. I thought the ending for her route was beautiful but I'm just like Hisao. I don't get her. I think we'd be friendly in real life but I can't penetrate beneath the veneer of weirdo she puts up. I'd try to match the freak so to speak, but I think that would only make us more confused about each other. She's the kind of person that needs someone to sympathize with her, since she can't really be empathized with, and that's something I'm pretty good at.

Rin seems like the kind of person who speaks her mind first and think about it second which is rare in this world and admittedly it can be daunting for others. You could also argue thats just an artist being an artists but in a lot more lovable way, she doesnt get caught up in her ego and just goes with the flow, regardless of what people think.

That's not really how I see it. It's hard to explain. She is someone who just kind of acts without thinking much, which can be charming in it's own way.

Succintly, both routes are quite similar in ways, with introverted dweebs growing more resolute and confident through their relationship with Miki, in turn helping her believe in her ability to change.
One's about a plucky well-meaning nerd learning to be a person again, and the other's about a depressed nerd learning to actually seize the day even if it might sting.
I think I just have a thing for cranky nerds opening up and that's why I like Suzu.

>>492886339
I don't know if I could be in a relationship with Rin irl, but there's something about the way she talks and sees things that draws me in. Maybe it's the tism. It's nice being with someone who means what they say even if bluntly.

Happy Monday, /ksg/! I was ill over the weekend from medication side effects but I hope you're all feeling happy and healthy. I've managed to keep up a few hours of artwork in my sketchbook or on my tablet every day since I started replaying KS, so my spirits are high despite my ailing body.

>>492889784
Take your time and rest it well, anon! It's better to deal with the frustration and get back to it when you're properly recovered. Do something relaxing in the meantime, maybe.

>>492886339
Rin's probably the closest to the kind of girls I date in real life, personally. I love Lilly to bits but I like being with someone who pushes me out of my comfort zone and balances out my mellow energy with a bit of eccentricity, if that makes sense. I usually date artists too, funnily enough.

>>492867587
I could see Lilly doing an angel or something else cutesy. Emi and Misha would be the most into it, something super elaborate. Rin would wear a costume that made sense to her and nobody else. Hanako likely wouldn't want to dress up, but Lilly might convince her if she can wear something covering with a mask.

I like how you're pointing out at my savouring every moment of the game, I don't know if it's because of my perfectionism or maybe that's how just I process feelings and memories, but I don't do it exclusively in ks, games, seasons of the year, books, films, special events in my life - all of it I just hold tight and let go after some time, I just like sticking to something without jumping to another thing after.
Picrel is what I did for Lilly on Valentine's day posting it on /s4s/, it seems silly but I liked making it.
When I was playing Witcher III, I played it basically how I played ks (from december to august) and not only I completed every main, side, and hidden quest, I also explored the whole map to look at the beautiful sights of the game's world and listen to ambient and music, it caused me to have over 200 hours on steam, while normally the game would need around 50h to complete, it gave me comfort I didn't want to detach from ingame world that quickly.
It's really good to hear that my post made you smile a little - your posts did that to me too, I just like having a discussion and see that the other person really cares about what shit I type, you're a good person too, don't change, but only if for the better.
Also idk how long have you been participating in these threads, but if you're one of the oldfags, as a new user I respect you and others for keeping this shit up, this general has over 4000 editions, god that's a lot.
Also, have you played other routes or only Lilly's? I suggest to take Lilly out of your mind right now and play the rest of them to get a better grasp at the game, if you haven't done so.

Nah, she's good people. I just don't really care for the characterization in game. It's one of the things people criticize about Hisao.

I have never had a real girlfriend in my entire life. I don't really think I'm capable of having anyone love me the way that love is depicted in KS, but I hold out hope and date Lilly in my head. I'll summon her one day.

If I recall correctly, you're a tad young to be making those sorts of dramatic statements. You have more than enough time ahead of you, you'll find someone who makes you happy. It might not be the sort of person you expect, either!

>>492895527
It's still been awfully muggy here, but I'm waiting with baited breath for Autumn to descend in full force. My cutest sweaters are waiting for me.

Hm, quality tea isn't that expensive, anon. You should look out for proper loose leaf from a reputable merchant in your area if it's at all available to you. The difference is very much noticeable, there's no need to do yourself a disservice by drinking something cheap and stale. I'm enjoying a cup of Dancong Oolong right now, perfect for the season.

>>492867237
I liked Shizune's route because it was like having fun messing around with your friends at school. There wasn't any real crazy drama either. I think what im trying to say is that it was comfy
Also I like Misha she was fun too
Lilly's route was definitely more emotional and more like romantic too. I can totally see why people like her route so much
Also I love the soundtrack

Ah, you're right. I'm just having a really great day today. I didn't mean it in that sort of way. I was moreso saying that I just need to keep living as if I was doing it for LIlly, and one day I'll find a girl like her.

I looked into the one place i know that its relatively close and it doesnt seem to have a huge variety or extravagant options so im guessing i'd have to go downtown for something more unique, i could do it during my leave which starts in 3 days from now but if i bought any now i'd start drinking it in a month or so, so keeping it around might lose its oomf.

A good 4-5 years ago i used to make simple black tea, put it in a thermos and bring it to work which looking back on it sounds off considering how that job was anything but relaxing and/or with down-time but i always managed to drink quite a bit, when things turned into a slog i just didnt bother making any. i've been slightly leaning towards energy drinks as of late and yes i kinda wanna cut down on them so i guess tea as a substitute is a great idea

what's each katawa's favorite season?

Lilly seems like a Spring or Summer girl. She probably likes to listen to the birds chirping and bees buzzing.

Shizune probably likes Spring and Fall since they are transitory periods and she enjoys watching the changes.
Hanako Winter so she can bundle up easily and comfortably.
Lilly says she prefers Winter in her route, so I'll go with that.
Rin Spring for flowers and new growth.
Emi seems like the kind of girl who prefers whatever season it isn't. When it's Winter she wants it to be Summer so there won't be snow on the track, when it is Summer she wants it to be Winter because it's too hot to run during the day.

she would want all of us to be happy it's true but even thinking about that hurts me because of how kind and perfect she is. how did you deal with the pain? how did you personally manage to pull through? I thought closure was supposed to be helpful in resolving this sort of situations ;_;
>>492873334
thank you for being a regular and offering me emotional support. everyone is so kind and sympathetic here. I love you Basil and I love everyone else posting in this thread. the reason everyone is so understanding of each other here is because this game is so intense you just can't get on with your life unless you help each other through the suffering. I don't want to make lilly cry, I'm sorry. are you an artist yourself? what did you do to ease the pain? is time the only sentinel in this horrible battle?
>>492875368
no-no I'm not taking any offence it's okay :) but please realise that.. I am in great pain and I'm not kidding! can't you see I keep crying out to God in every other post and I can't stop running my mouth? that thread on /v/ was made by me yesterday so yah, I'm the same person.
don't apologise squire it's okay I'm not insulted, in fact I like you! you're right about channeling the pain into positive energy, in fact you're so correct in that that I, for instance, have been scouring pixiv and danbooru and tumblr looking for cute images of lilly, but i can't draw myself for instance :/ do you draw? did you cry when you beat the game? was it easy for you to not tip over into the bad side of the melancholy and actually not get stuck in this permanent state of grief?
actually, okay, look, I'm going to try to make all of you (you, basil, that other guy that I'm about to reply to and every last of you in this thread) happy by announcing the following: I did my best to reach out to all the devs and thank them for katawa shoujo! ^-^ I messaged everyone on twitter that I was able to message. I told them many sweet things. this is positive right??

They support one another, and so to should Akira and Lilly fans find strength in our bond. The thread has been Lilly dominant lately, it seems like a lot of the new posters enjoy her the most. It used to be all Hanako and Emi fans back in the day.

>>492898686
Oh, well, it's good that you're having such a lovely day! That's the right frame of mind to have, she'd be proud of you.

>>492899264
Online is always an option as well, but there is such a charm to going into a tea merchant and getting to smell and taste the teas they have on display, having a wee gab with the cashier. You don't have to worry about tea expiring that quickly either, it keeps for about a year, and can last two years if kept in an air-tight container.

Tea makes every day a bit brighter, that was a very good habit you had. I did the same thing when I was waking up at 5am for work and getting back at 10pm, kept me going! Energy drinks are so bad for you!! Think about your poor heart, anon.

>>492901408
I agree with everything >>492903064 said, I couldn't say it better myself. I always loved the touch of Lilly preferring Winter, I wish we got a scene with her smiling as the first snowflake of the year flutters down onto her face.

yah because I feel like first of all everyone should support each other in this thread cuz otherwise the melancholy will take over! we need to offer each other sympathy and are, all of us, because that's the only way to stay strong enough to hang out with the katawas. I love you and I love everyone in this thread. I will offer emotional support to anyone as long as they need it

I see, well, i believe one can misinterpret (like myself) your posts as something else since, text online can sometimes be seens from a different angle and you got some strong wording on your posts but regardless, its good of you to express how you feel so dont fret

>do you draw?
Unfortunetly no, i dont have the skills or the patience to acquire them. I do think drawing is cool from the fact that you can give your imagination life in the literal sense and thats pretty good

>did you cry when you beat the game?
Long answer: >>492558668
Short answer: I havent done all routes but doing Hanako's alone was enough for me to trigger that for me

>was it easy for you to not tip over into the bad side of the melancholy and actually not get stuck in this permanent state of grief?
Boy thats a tough one Like i said i'd be contradicting myself if i said "No no, im a very positive person and so you should be!" But ima be real, that 2nd playthrough gave me the bad fee-fees A sense of loneliness that seems you and many other people feel after their Katawa's route is over that seems incurable. Some people get over it sooner than most and vice versa

For me specifically, while i have grown a thicker skin the last few years im not devoid of such mood swings either. On one hand i could be sulking over my loneliness as i had many times before but letting that become the majority of your thoughts it eats you alive. As for what i do about nothing specific i suppose, i just go about my routine and literally try not to think about it or see it from a better POV. I've had some real downer moments in my life as early as even a year or so ago and while it still stings i try to put a funny spin on it and not make a huge deal over it I've grown to realise that whatever happens, it happens so best i can do is accept it and do my best with that

That sounds nice. Its a good thing the devs are still sentimental over both the game and its fanbase so im sure they appreciate it.

>>492906357
Yeah i wouldnt mind going to the store myself, i'd also have a better feel of the product and be certain to what i'd wanna get. I might look into it during my leave, see whats what.

>Tea makes every day a bit brighter
The fine art of warm beverages never fails, especially for winter persons such as myself. Now i recall how back during my mandatory service i also used to have tea in the morning, it was rather basic and i was obviously in a rush but it was nice to have that before summer came by.

>how did you deal with the pain? how did you personally manage to pull through?
I got better over time. I realized the ending wasn't for me, it was for Hisao. Ultimately we are reading a story and we're seeing the life of the main character. There's a Lilly/Emi/Shizune/Rin/Hanako out there for all of us, and while KS can give us a glimpse of that kind of innocent pure love, with all it's ups and downs, we are our own Hisao.
>Are you an artist yourself, what did you do to ease the pain?
No, I'm not an artist by any means. I would like to draw some more Lilly soon. But like I said, I just kept living. That was the message of KS - to keep living, not to just live as a bystander in your life but to actually live it. Take every day as it comes, as a gift, no matter if it's good or bad. The katawas lives are all harder - Hisao could die at any moment. If they can live good lives, so can we.

I agree, she would be proud of me. I hope. I enjoy looking at her. She calms me.

Good news! You aren't the one that would be dating you, and there's no accounting for how other people feel. When someone falls for you in the future, you probably won't understand exactly why she likes what she does about you, and you'll probably be surprised that she's indifferent to other traits of yours that you would have expected to be your best.
The lack of predictability in life is probably the single biggest lesson I've learned so far, so like "tea anon" said, you'll possibly be surprised by what she's like.

I finished reading Katawa Shoujo a few days ago, it was my first visual novel and my first steam game where I got all the achievements not counting Counter-Strike 2 which only has one achievement so far.

So yeah I basically did everything there is to do and completed it 100% and I loved it very much

I hope I can have my own Emi Ibarazaki one day I'm in desperate need of physical and emotional intimacy

I feel like I can relate to Rin a bit even tho we're both very obviously different from one another and she's so unique and one of a kind and Rin-like

I'm just dumping my thoughts here because I have no close friends to talk to, not anymore.

I need a hug

I just realized that Lilly and Rin wouldn't be able to ride a bike. Makes me a bit sad.

Often we're drawn to people who have qualities we admire, but lack ourselves. Maybe Akira has a boisterousness to her that you admire? I think the best kinds of relationships are formed from two people who slot neatly into one another's strengths and weaknesses.

>>492908267

Ty anon ily for that

Just one thing? I can't say but I can say my favorite things. As soon as I saw her I thought she was cute, physically ofc and then personality wise when I read her first dialogue.

I love her lil cat face she always has on almost constantly, ig it's her default face it's so cute I love cats :3

I think I'm more into tall women but her short height is adorable and i love how she looks in her gym outfit and i love blonde hair always have

I like how she acts so cute and pouts when she's upset, ig I have a weakness for those puppy eyes like Hisao

It's like I can imagine her making a cute pouting noise whatever that's called I forgot (maybe I am Rin)

I like how she's so happy-go-lucky and energetic and friendly and I love her banter with Hisao and she's def rly funny and has the funniest route in the game it was very enjoyable

I think running is a cool sport I like being fast and feeling the wind I'm considering doing track cause of her altho it's more to find a irl Emi sort of how Hisao kept running because of her

She's kind of a dork it's cute

She just makes me smile.

I got her route first and her good ending first by just playing the game as if I was the mc and not Hisao but ofc Hisao sort of adapts to whoever the route is about so ig I can relate to Emi and Hisao in that route a bit with the stubbornness and like Hisao I just wanted to help her and I was afraid when things went wrong that route more than any other I think

I don't know what else to say I'm gonna leave it here.

This gives Lilly vibes and is weirdly a turn-on but also feels intimate and nice to read.

I feel like I should've liked Lilly more than I do but playing the game naturally gave me Emi so ig I don't know myself as much as thought I did not that I know myself that well anyways

>>492928138
I did the lilly route but the whole game was just so predictable and uninspired. The whole time it felt like it was building up to a payoff that just never came...

>>492928417
I feel like the Lilly route was kinda generic but I personally still enjoyed it regardless

Try another route anon, maybe play it as if you were the mc assuming you didn't do that but if you did then that's interesting ig lol

>>492928417
I do think the game is predictable enough at points that you have to suppress the instinct to do that, but I don't think it's particularly uninspired, and I enjoyed the payoff at the end of Lilly's route. I'm sorry you didn't get what you wanted out of it.

I think if you're still digging for something to value, you should hit Emi's route, and if it's not clicking, then you can just walk away knowing you gave the game a real try.

Hm. I'd prefer if you kept that sort of comment to yourself in future, Rin-anon. I appreciate the Lilly vibes part, at least.

You get locked into Emi's route by pushing yourself on the track, almost everyone does it their first time. Which I always found funny, but I knew not to because of my own heart issues. Lilly isn't for everyone, though, she has a very different energy from Emi.

>>492929240

No doubt. One of the biggest lessons I've accepted in the last two months is that the best parts of life are often when we abandon comfort and controlled chaos of everyday life and embrace new things that we're a little afraid of. It's what makes us feel alive, really.

Yes I'm aware and I also think it's strange and I can only guess why they would pico that option as well

Me personally I didn't think Hisao would push himself too far to the point he'd suffer another heart attack so I decided to go for it as it's something I would've done in that situation

Not sure what you would call that trait I feel like there's a word for it (wow look at me being Rin-like)

But anyways I love how natural that route felt to me with the choices I picked and how Hisao acted like me in a way.

What would you buy your katawa if they asked you to pick up a sweet treat on your way home?

Someone will recognize your good traits for what they are, even if they aren't the ones you were thinking of. Love isn't as logical or cause-and-effect as movies and stories portray it to be, so living life and putting yourself out there to where you can meet someone is more than half the battle.

I couldn't agree with you more, Basil. Looking into tomorrow and stepping forward without hesitation is one of the most important things a person can do. I've always enjoyed change, myself, I get a little stir-crazy when I'm in one place or doing one thing for too long. Life is meant to be lived!

>>492930964
It's best to assume people have the boundaries one would expect them to have until they state otherwise, even in a place like this. But thank you.

The way an arrhythmia like Hisao has functions is there isn't a set limit that will trigger a health episode, but whenever you push yourself at all you're rolling the dice. It certainly gets worse with the moreso you exert, but Hisao hasn't learned enough about his limits at that point.

You should do track. You are right that it is a place where you can (literally) run into spunky speedballs like Emi. Worst case scenario, it will keep you in great physical attraction, which will make the girls on the team you aren't into recommend you to their friends that might be more your type.
>>492929240
Your bait was good because Lilly's path is relatively "conventional" in some ways. It's obvious we're going to say this, but you really should give the game a try. I think a lot of the biggest fans went into it with reservations or low expectations and came away total converts. It's a largely unique experience within the realm of video games, so you're really missing out if you don't give it a shot.

I'm currently looking at tomorrow right now, ironically. not looking forward to doing what I must do, but I'm also excited to experiment with a new schedule. It's your life, you have to make it yours.

>>492930459
>It's what makes us feel alive
Definitely, well put. The human brain needs new experiences to be happy, as well, even for people that think they do best in controlled circumstances and predictable routines. That lifestyle is a silent killer, and it takes a long time to notice.

>>492932438
>It's best to assume people have the boundaries one would expect them to have until they state otherwise, even in a place like this.

Ah you're right sorry altho I feel that also depends on who you're talking with but ig I like to gamble a lil and don't care for social norms to an extent but I will respect your boundaries because you are very nice

>The way an arrhythmia like Hisao has functions is there isn't a set limit that will trigger a health episode, but whenever you push yourself at all you're rolling the dice. It certainly gets worse with the moreso you exert, but Hisao hasn't learned enough about his limits at that point.

Ah I see yeah i tend to do things until I can afford to anymore so I would roll the dice in that situation until I get that heart flutter and then Emi takes me to the nurse and yk the rest

I need my life to be a beautiful love story ;-; but no use in wishing for the impossible (improbable?) ig

I like Lilly more in the other routes than in her own.

>>492932826
>You are right that it is a place where you can (literally) run into spunky speedballs like Emi.

The issue with that is it seems to be separated by gender but maybe there's a way I'm not aware of yet

I should probably do it for my own health but I am curious how an anime club would turn out and if I'd find anyone there.. and also new friends

>Worst case scenario, it will keep you in great physical attraction, which will make the girls on the team you aren't into recommend you to their friends that might be more your type.

Huh I didn't think of that sounds, great idea thx lol

Seems like everyone online who types cutely or like a girl is one of those two from what I've seen

I did the same thing when I was younger, it took a good few hospital trips to learn to be more sensible about my heart. My cardiologist still treats me like I go out cage fighting every week and it's been years since I've done anything silly.

You should always try to have the exact life you want, nothing less. If you want a beautiful love story, keep your heart open and make a lot of friends! And please don't speculate on my identity, I'd really prefer to be some friendly floating words on the internet. It also makes other posters grumpy with me!

If you don't mind me asking do you have arrhythmia like Hisao? I don't think I would've been that reckless with my health but while I don't have a condition like that I feel like I'd be similar to you in that regard. Earlier I more so meant that I put things off until the last minute, ig it's easier for me to understand things when I experience them which should apply to everyone but maybe I have it worse or something

Sorry for the speculation it's hard for me to be sensitive to others online, probably relates back to what I said about experiencing things myself and having it put into perspective.

It's so alive in here, is this because of the steam release?

I don't mind at all, I'm not shy about my disability. I have the same condition as Hisao, I was just diagnosed younger, at 11 years old. I even passed out when a girl kissed me for the first time just like he did! Although I got better in about half an hour and it wasn't a hospital level incident, but she was awfully worried, as one could imagine.

And it's alright, you seem perfectly nice, just a little young, maybe.

>>492937253
It seems that way! I came back for it after a years long break, I think a lot of other anons did too. I haven't bumped into anyone I recognise yet, but hoping to see a few familiar faces over the next few weeks.

Oh goodness no you were very much right to check, some disabled people are more comfortable discussing it than others. It's an entire learning curve for Hisao in Act I, remember? I'm relaxed about it largely due to how long I've lived with it, and how unavoidable it is to talk about with people who know me for a while, as I get flutters and chest pain with an amount of regularity.

It's very cute in retrospect! Very embarrassing at the time, but she still decided to date me. I'm not surprised my age shows, either, I'm approaching 30 faster than I'd like.

>>492942104
Gosh, a few people, I suppose? I was close with a number of the old writers and artists, and even collaborated with them at times.

Ig you're right and yes I do remember, it's another aspect of his personality that I can relate to, I do like how he has a bit of his own personality for what could've been a self-insert altho maybe he still is, sounds like a gray area you could argue about.

>I'm relaxed about it largely due to how long I've lived with it, and how unavoidable it is to talk about with people who know me for a while, as I get flutters and chest pain with an amount of regularity.

That's good to hear, I like to think life would be much better if we were like that with everything, can't say for certain but it's not a bad attitude.

>It's very cute in retrospect! Very embarrassing at the time, but she still decided to date me. I'm not surprised my age shows, either, I'm approaching 30 faster than I'd like.

Well at least it didn't turn into an Iwanako situation (even tho Emi is better) ((I mean probably we barely know Iwanako but I'm confident in my claim))

I think your age only really shows because of your comments on how young people are or seem to be but yeah that's about the age I expect someone to be when they start talking like that lol

Were you able to see Lilly on your sleep deprivation? I would like to see my katawa if that shit works

>>492944682
Not surprised but that's good to know probably

I just played the game for the first time on a whim, i never had anything against the game or you guys i just never really had much of an interest to it.
I sort of fumbled the first playthrough into an Emi good ending by just choosing what felt like the right choices, it was nice and Emi definitely surprised me a bunch of times, i really appreciated her by the end but i kind of wanted to go the Rin route because she left the biggest first impression on me.
I don't think a character has made me switch from chuckling to crying and vice versa this much, the whole second half i felt like i fucked it all up super hard probably harder than Hisao thought he did, even through the sex scene i was convinced i was watching the bad ending and when she said "let it go" i just turned into a puddle man, i'm sincerely sorry if i'm sounding like a gigantic faggot right now, i just wanted to get the thoughts out of my head and this seemed like the right place.

Surprised you didn't have one before today unless you did. How long have you been here? Seems like it's been quite awhile.
I think it'd be cool to be assigned a nickname but it could be something you don't like which is worrying and I kinda like the name Rin especially with the slight kinship I feel with the character now.

At least you know the term newfag. Your posting style definitely makes you stick out, though. Not a criticism, and I'm not saying you need to change anything, it's just an observation.
I'm going to go on a rant here that you can safely ignore. Back in "the old days", people online often lurked a long time before engaging in communities, so their initial posts would fit in more. It's a pet hypothesis of mine that modern social media sites/apps encourage much more input from users, and to be as fast as possible in generating it. So younger people don't lurk, being mostly familiar with the newer places. Which makes them stick out in places like 4chan that aren't cutting edge and "hip".
>>492945515
>let it go
A painful scene. We all went through what you did. It's common to come into this game not really expecting anything and wondering why you're even bothering, until that feels train comes down the tracks. Thank you for your post, and be sure to try the other routes. Each one was worked on by a slightly different sub-team, so they feel rather different. The Rin route is quite a journey.

It's not at all unique to you, lots of people get a little awkward around disability. I've had every sort of experience one could imagine when people find out, from overbearing pity to accusations of making it up for attention. "Invisible" disabilities can be difficult for that reason, it catches people off guard.

>Surprised you didn't have one before today unless you did.
I'm very old fashioned in how I use 4chan, so I've never used a name or a trip. I also disappear for months or years at a time, so people have called me different things over the years when they've kept track of my posts. The most consistent was when I was posting fan works, but unless I add people on Steam or something we eventually lose touch, as is the nature of an anonymous imageboard. I've been around since the game officially released.

>>492947682
The comedy of it wasn't lost on me when I played KS. I'd also gotten out of heart surgery right before it released, so it spoke to me on a very deep level. And I haven't finished the stream yet, but checking steam, it doesn't seem to be?

Your rant there was immensely refreshing. It's what caused this site to really decline about ten years ago, there was such an influx of new users who didn't respect board culture that had carried over from 2Channel etiquette, and eventually they drowned out the regular users. It's a large reason why I'm so glad for this general, it feels like a living relic of the old days.

>>492948578
>self-loathing pit of apathy
On some level, probably. But that's also the product of a feedback cycle. When you're down, you have low energy, low enthusiasm, it's easier to look at things from a negative perspective, you're at risk of doing (semi-)self-destructive things, or suffering such things due to apathy. But if you can manage to work positive things into that loop, you can reverse the direction and feel proud of yourself, have more energy during the day, naturally tend to perceive situations from a positive light. Hell, even your own body will perform better, including at resisting illnesses.
I'm rootin' for ya from the shadows, Basil.
>>492949106

We also lost some cultural control elements. People stopped being able to sagebomb garbage threads, mods stopped publicly shaming low-quality posts, things like that. With few mechanisms to try and retain The Old Ways in the face of an ever-growing Eternal September, our fates were sealed.

It's alright I'm aware and I do want to change it since someone that I know irl knew who I was while under a pseudonym and I don't know how they figured it out because they were vague but I don't want that to happen again but I don't know how to go about it.

>Back in "the old days", people online often lurked a long time before engaging in communities, so their initial posts would fit in more.

No doubt. I think my problem lies deeper than that. I don't know. I hate to be going around in sympathy for myself, I feel like all I've done in the last 2 threads is just whine about my life but it's so hard. So, so goddamn hard to be positive. To put on a fake smile and just say it's all worth it. Because you really don't know. But it doesn't matter. I must live.

I still don't understand why the admin staff made the decisions they did between 2010-2016, and I don't think I ever will. I'd stopped using the site entirely until the Steam release, and earnestly, I've never been able to find an online place that I felt as though I belonged to in the same way. Something about growing up with 4chan in that period of time really shaped you in a way that's impossible to entirely shake.

Vacation cottage is a charming way to describe it. It's a bit like hub area from a Fromsoft game, with new and familiar faces with every visit, gradually emptying out over time. But there's always a few who refuse to leave their post, and I suppose we're among them, aren't we?

Yeah its a thing here, in all honest its a time waster.

We're being slightly melodramatic, thankfully. It's more that the culture and dynamics have changed than that certain behaviors or traditions are gone. Hard to describe. There are still pockets around the web, but fewer all the time. Just part of getting older, and plenty of things have actually improved over the years. It's more fun to complain, though, since only so many people can commiserate with certain complaints.

I think I'd have to go back to IRC if I really wanted to dig deep, but even then it wouldn't be a perfect fit.

VNs even back then were a rather niche medium. Even the average weeb doesnt happen to play much of them if any at all so combine that with catchy descriptions such as "Its made by 4chan and you fuck crippled girls" then you definetly have people completely new to the media dive in with KS. Its DDLC before DDLC.

at first I thought those were pastries laid around the chocolate chips and you are SO CUTE :> how did you even come up with that? dude maybe I should also try to channel my pain and grief over lilly into something creative like what you did? this is sweet and inspiring.
>I just like sticking to something without jumping to another thing after
which is a neat thing because if you really enjoy some piece of media, instead of overusing it to the point where your brain gets tired - for example listening to a song you like a hundred times and losing interest in it - you can just turn it into a ritual and only relive those sensations and the nostalgia once a year at the exact time you first got introduced to it. that way you'll get goosebumps over how potent the memories and feelings are. I also post on [s4s] perhaps you'd even recognize me.
what you did with witcher 3 is a clever way of approaching a game you truly enjoy in case you aren't just looking to beat it and be done with it. I can't vouch for witcher three cuz I've only played the second game, but if you and I both love katawa shoujo and you deem that game nice, then it will probably turn out the same for me. I get exactly what you feel because you and I are similar in trying to take in as much as possible and enjoy the game while it lasts. I still haven't gotten over katawa shoujo and I can't handle my emotions.
thank you for returning the compliments and telling me you like my posts too. I don't want you to change either and consider you a good person. listen you know what I think? since you're praising the locals for keeping these threads active for 4000 editions, you and I and everyone else should take part in contributing to it by posting cute stuff and discussing our love for the game like we're already doing.
as for your last question, I'm scared to even launch the game because I know I'll break down crying if I hear the menu tune again. I don't know what to do dude. let's keep hanging out!

Steam's pretty vague with the requirements for verification, but they specifically mention that reviews aren't included. I'm guessing that's because those can be botted pretty easily.

I'm the guy that's been crying over lilly for four days now. I just got off work and am preparing to give every poster in this thread a reply, even if they haven't engaged with me. I want to feel close to you and I thank God, as blasphemous as it may sound, for this thread being around. actually, I sort of believe I'm not acting sacrilegious by bringing God into this, because think about it: if I had none of you wonderful and compassionate people to share my emotional torment and breakdown with after I finished lilly's route, who would have saved me? (this doesn't mean I don't cherish my parents I love them very much). so in a way, since all of you help me pull through this hardship by hanging out with me and being around, I am rightful in thanking God because otherwise my health would suffer. I obviously wouldn't kill myself over katawa shoujo but man would the neurosis wear me down

well, I think Rin's would be fine with riding a bike cause there's people without hands that do it, so I don't see a problem with this, but Lilly would definitively have a problem since she's blind, maybe dexterity would be on point but without navigation she would trip over and fall.

2) get in touch with the devs on twitter or some other platform
3) scroll through ksg archives and look up old threads about the game on archived moe or 4plebs
4) scour pixiv and all the boorus and tumblr and twitter to find and share the cool and cute artwork
5) offer emotional support and thorough replies to everyone hanging out here cuz i saw someone say this general was exceptional in that everyone acts like people in the old days of fourchan would and they follow 2channel rules and culture

wait, crudehumour... I think I saw that name on 4chan before, I used to lurk a lot /s4s/ some time ago so maybe I did see you in some threads.
I had some leftofers cashew nuts and chocolate so I thought why not make something like this, I was so alive after completing Lilly's route and couldn't make myself to sleep, so I did this. I'm glad that it inspired you to something, even a little, and well I'm not that creative at making things, but I'm pleased of myself for setting this chocolate-cashew nut themed heart.
The general also seems rather cosy as a thread on 4chan, I never seen that sympathethic and supporting place on an anonymous website, the Lillyposters constantly posting Lilly and try to comfort that one depressed anon (>>492873161) and I think that's beautiful, really good community.
Also want to ask what is your favourite ost from ks, mine is Lullaby of Open Eyes, (https://youtu.be/pRzpTZnzXWc?si=vMIa9R55HXdRVHk5), idk why but every time I hear this I want to break to tears, it's so soothing, calming, also mysterious and sad, imo this song really encompasses the whole soul and essence of the game, if I will have children in the future I want to learn to play this on a piano/or make a musicbox with this, so that they would be able to listen to this wonderful melody.

30 in 4 months and its honestly a mixed bag. It doesnt feel like im at the age of big responsibilities and the like, if anything due to how life is right now i cant really overextend with life altering decisions. As for my time on the chan in general, its plenty but not nearly as old as KS release date.

>how long have you been in this general?
Jumped in after the Steam release. I was aware of the general's existance and its "infamous reputation" of staying alive for so long and even losing count a couple of times which from an outsider's perspective all this is certainly a head scratcher. Regardless i felt the need to gush out my feels to people who would be interested and i figured this would be the perfect place. Im in a sort of lukewarm state emotionally right now but its certainly not leaning towards bad, im taking this path and see how it goes.

I'm not the anon you were replying to, but I absolutely wouldn't call it "real art". Art is an expression of the artist's soul through whatever medium they choose, it's a celebration of what makes us human and it carries sentiment and experience from the artist's mind onto physical images for others to see. It allows people a glimpse into one another's hearts and helps make the world a less lonely place. What AI produces are images, and their aesthetic merit is yours to determine, but they simply are not art, to say nothing of the practise of data scraping.

>>493017224
Maybe it says something about the times that Lilly is more popular now? Contemporary EVN's have a lot of challenging and emotionally intense characters, so perhaps people enjoy the simple romance story Lilly has to tell. I answered your questions in this thread already, but I've been around since before the first /vg/ thread.

> Are you managing your stress well?
Besides the constant balancing act of one's finances, most stress if you can call it that, comes from more "first world problems". Not that everything is peachy but i guess it could be a lot worse so complaining/worrying (constantly) wont help much. Thankfully my biggest responsibility at the moment, after paying the bills is what should i have for lunch so i'd say im fortunate to be more chill than most.

My dread of being 30 mostly comes from comparison to other people. Its sort of similar to my previous rundowns here of which whenever i sit back and compare i usually end up thinking "Man, if i couldnt do X and Y before, what chance do i have now, at this age?" I know im not an old coot yet but i feel lonely and left out as one, at times.

Part of me has embraced this "lone wolf" lifestyle and if anything it has its perks, but on the other hand its not exactly the most upbeat thing to wake up every day with all this empty space besides you in bed or never get an unexpected phonecall/message that will perk you up or get a pat on the bad and a "well done" after a chore of a day. They say that people should make themselves happy first and the rest will follow but, what if its already tiresome to try only by myself ya know?

So would you say photography is not art? The photographer has a concept for what they want the final image to look like. But to make it they are rearranging objects that already existed, capturing them with a machine rather than any bodily craft, and then typically adjusting the image through either chemical or digital means. They fully intend for the final image to convey something.
Is that different in any way from AI imagery? The slopmaker has a concept, rearranges data that already existed, generates a perspective on that data much as a photographer chooses their angle of shooting, and then also perhaps digitally touches it up. They can fully intend the image to convey something.
The attached image was made by AI. Imagine a person saw this bird and was struck by its inquisitiveness. They wanted to share this feeling, so they went home. From there, they had two choices. First, they could have made this exact painting by hand and taken a picture of it. Second, they could have sculpted AI output until they acheived what, for the sake of argument, is the exact same image for you to look at it. Why is the end result meaningfully different in terms of artist conceptualization or audience interpretation?

I won't leave either. listen I've got a lot of ideas for the fun all of us could have here. in a bit, I'm going to post the YouTube playlist of one of the games composers original music. it's pretty in line with the katawa shoujo soundtrack. oh and also I just emailed that very composer too, I'll be posting a screenshot of what I wrote too. and my other ideas were present in that to-do listed I posted.
lullaby of open eyes definitely hits your hard. it's emotional and sweet. hell, it's like lilly's main theme or something -- I'm not really sure because I was going insane while playing the game :P
I'm not urging or forcing you to do anything, but what exactly stops you from learning to play a musical instrument? are there any circumstances that hinder that
>>493018925
yah I agree with you sorry I'm nearing the character limit I'll haffta make another post later
>>493018968

>>493023006

I SAVED THAT IMAGE
>>493024005
CUTE LILLY IM SAVING THAT
>>492949106
and I agree with you but I just can't reply to everyone in one post
for now, check out my email to the composer

I started drawing almost all Lilly, but have been trying some different ideas lately and seeing where they go. She's still my #1 girl.

but all I wanted to do was thank the guy for composing beautiful music for lilly's story! also here's a link to his YouTube playlist with his original compositions listed. I'd say they're somewhat reminiscent of the katawa shoujo ost but maybe you'll find it otherwise

>>493032148
I'm familiar with his other work, I'm saying an email like that is weird and unsettling for somebody who is generally disconnected from the game nowadays
A simple well-written thank you would be appropriate, not the email you composed, but you know that

Y-you too!

>>493032381
if you drive me away from this general.. what will become of me? will I look up and gaze into the night sky dreaming about the times gone, or will I wait and bleed inside my shell?

>>493024005
>Are you the Rin Anon from last night or have you just picked that up from him?
That was not me

>My schedule is too full to adopt siblings I'm afraid.
If this applies to me too then I will say that I do not need to be adopted to consider someone an oneesan figure so I will continue doing so unless you don't want me to of course.

>>493036064
Dw anon I will keep you here but it best to save that email in the drafts or delete it if you care at all about social norms, if you don't then oh well I guess!

>>492954170
Sheesh, some of you guys make me feel like an oldfag for being on this site since 2007, and even I got in late.

>>493038531

How could you say something like that about Akira our beloved?
From Lilly's epilogue:
>AKIRA: "Setting my boyfriend up with a passport took some time."
>HISAO: "You're taking him with you?"
>AKIRA: "Just for a while at first. He's a surprisingly worldly guy, so I think he'll do just fine."
>>493038531
Late? You probably predate 95% of the site at this point

>>493031793
I went out with a girl in high school that was almost definitely into that. but I was a kid and not on the internet so I didn't realize until years later.

Really? I haven't played since release so I guess I forgot. For some reason I thought i remember her saying she was gonna break up with her BF.

>>493040480
The one that you spanked?
I wanna spank a girl.

>>493040652
Yeah. I ran into her at a friend's wedding. She was already married and had gained a lot of weight. I wonder if it would have been different if I had just tied her up, spanked her raw, and prevented her from resorting to gluttony.

These are really good, anon! You have strong draftmanship, it shows how much passion is going into your work.

>>493027379
It's harder than ever to afford to live, anon, there's no shame at all in feeling the pressure of bills and rent. I'm lucky to live in a country with reasonable disability support, I'd be on the streets if I was less fortunate.

I truly understand what you're saying about comparison, I struggle with that awfully, particularly with my siblings. You never know what's going on in someone else's life, though, and it's difficult to earnestly appreciate the triumphs you've had in your own. It sounds as though going to a few clubs or groups could do you some good. I made a lot of local friends going to a local life drawing studio, maybe you have something like that related to a hobby of yours?

>>493027912
Apples and pears, anon. The skillset of a photographer or videographer is varied and vast, requiring years of study and meticulous practise to attain a mastery of. Furthermore, those artists are human beings choosing their subject and tools, researching and gathering artistic reference to create their work.

Typing a prompt and selecting from pre-generated images is as much a branch of the arts as selecting painting to hang on your wall makes you its painter. Maybe you're developing an eye for aesthetic sensibility by looking at it, but you're doing so through a homogenised and by nature unoriginal lens, stolen without permission from actual human artists and mashed together into mush, greatly limiting the extent of your development.

>>493030686
You're very earnest, but you seem a little manic? It might be best to step away from contacting developers and focus your energy on the community.

>>493037279
As long as you don't get too parasocial about it, Rin-anon. Good morning, by the way!

I mean, he just proved he doesn't know what making art is like, so there's your answer.

>misinterpret
maybe. I swear on everything I have that I act genuine when expressing my grief and hysteria over lilly's route. I keep repeating myself but that music box scene at the end is beyond bearable. I cried uncontrollably I'm sorry.
>Unfortunetly no
do you intend to learn then? do you feel like you might pick up drawing in the near future? the reason I'm asking this is because, if you're here, that means you're madly in love with katawa shoujo. and if you are, then.. the game hit you like a truck, emotionally speaking, too, right? and such occurrences display the emotional discharge proclivity, setting you on a path to express yourself to get rid of the pain. that's why I suspect you wouldn't mind learning to draw :D
>Long answer
ahhhhh so THAT is your post! I recall talking to you in that thread now. I just pictured you holding your emotions in and acting genuine and innocent and exposed when no one's around and it's endearing.
>A sense of loneliness that seems you and many other people feel
yes, yes, yes! this so much! thank you for describing our feelings in such an on-point manner. just know that even if I mess up expressing my thoughts properly, I do relate to you and do feel what you feel. thank you for comprehending my suffering as well.
>sulking over my loneliness
well I would hug you let me tell ya that much squire!
>i just go about my routine
so it doesn't incapacitate you? this depression and all the mood swings don't get to you in a way that shuts you down and stops you from functioning and going to work?
>accept it and do my best with that
I praise you for that. I suspect it's impossible to "teach" someone to deal with their problems. people arrive at those solutions through pain and personal experience. I'm guessing your mind subconsciously moved all those cogs and blocks around and made you a more adapted individual. I want you to be happy I want you to smile I want you to stay healthy. just know that I think about you

mkay goodnight everyone I just wanted to let all of you know that even if I don't comment on it, I keep saving all the artwork you post cuz it's all cool and sweet and cute and I'm filling up my lilly album with all the cute stuff you post. and even if I don't reply to everyone, I go through all of your posts and I read them and I experience the emotions you express and I'm on your side. I want you to be content with your life and I love you. I'll do my best not to cry before sleep tonight. stay safe ^-^
>>493041615
even if I'm manic.. will that grown man be disturbed by that?
>focus your energy on the community.
but hear me out please oh please! weren't the devs the ones who thought of all these possible scenarios where a legless girl does anal with you or Kenji pushes you off the roof? surely my messages of gratitude with nothing but earnest expression of my suffering won't upset them! they're people like us like you and me. the difference between us and redditors is that we know how badly extreme emotions can get to you and that's why we accept people and hear them out. please I'm sorry..
that being said, I love the ara~ara~! I save all the images you lost thank you very much I love lilly and would like to hold hands with her
>>493037425
thanx I've already hit send :P I'm no weirdo I just can't filter my emotions. you are cool though
>>493026993
I love you <3
>>493025521
OH WOW IM SAVING THAT
>>493023006
I'm trying to.. and you're helping me in that. you are a lovely and sympathetic person. for your sake, I will live for lilly, I will love for lilly and I will laugh for lilly. I can't overstate how thankful I am. wicked :) you are a wonderful bloke. sorry for being hazy I haffta hit the hay
