replayed this, 10 months after my abuser left. red and blue remind me of them, scarily so -- all that's missing is being called "disgusting" for thinking i could ever be a woman. 'twas just a broken little thing in their eyes. there's a certain kinship only trans women have with each other.

reread this just now, a few months after my abuser finally left. i wish id been the one who did it. but thats neither here nor there - this is just as beautiful, poetic, and atmospheric as i remember it being, if not more. the prom scene stuck out to me. a lot of the things about this hit hard, actually - my abuser also used my [gender] identity as a weapon, gaslit me in stupid arguments, etc. this made me feel all too seen, even if my abuse was online. im glad youre better off now. i hope life has been treating you kindly.
i read this for the very first time on sunday, and jesus christ did it hit hard. i am not a trans woman, but i am an intersex woman (+ genderweird, you know how it is), and charity's rant about being reduced to that of a helper and patience talking about how her estrogen was taken away was what truly struck me. the way charity called herself a "desexed faggot" and a "parody of a woman" hit far too close to home for me.
i love this visual novel. its genuinely the best visual novel ive ever read. the presentation and aesthetics and everything else is nothing like ive seen before. this was truly lightning in a bottle. every scene is like a punch to the gut, a look into the psyche of someone, a look in the mirror. it's beautiful. i might even go as far as to say this isnt a vn; its an experience.
ive been thinking about this constantly and already i think im due for a reread. this is a masterpiece, genuinely. thank you for making this.
