switches over here first. so love bullet is still pretty new and short, i won't get super deep into talking about it because of it but i'll go over it a little

so!! as you may have guessed, love bullet is a manga about cupids in the modern day era, and have since given up the bow & arrow for hilariously OTT military grade weaponry. it's very funny. but anyway, cupids are also humans who have previously died and were given a second chance by the goddess of love, making koharu in turboheaven also really funny

(the mods laughed at me obviously)

so koharu was just a normalass highschooler who mcfucking dies in the most anime way possible, aaaand becomes a cupid. (the requirements for this is 1. it is an untimely death and 2. you have regrets about not ever finding love while you were alive.)

which is why i basically rp her as like very normal teen girl, despite what she is, because she's a very new cupid (unlike the others in the main crew) and still isn't totally adjusted or knowledgeable in the world of cupids. she is a fresh baby...

again i'm kind of glossing over but if you want an easy, fun read of shenanigans i suggest reading it here!! (there's no official eng. localization right now) it starts off kinda wacky and fun but i think it touches on matters of death and grief really well too

(also like, there's gay. it's gay. there is no ambiguity about the lesbians.)

going into rp game stuff i kept it very vague about how koharu would've gotten nuked because there are some implications that cupids are difficult to kill For Real, and they are technically immortal, so idfk. i still wanted to play so i just quietly handwaved that shit and didn't touch on it much.

it was easy to brush off anyway because koharu.... has... already died once and come to terms with it rofl so it wasn't like world shattering or anything.

i WAS eager to play someone that wasn't like my other characters in that they are much better at handling high stress/awful situations like mgs because i thought it would be a nice change of pace. bbbbbut also...

as the weeks went on i felt kind of guilty about what it was turning into and i think i ended up annoying some others in the process. so if i ended up being a bad time for anyone i am genuinely sorry sometimes what you think might be fun is not actually fun for others.

overall i still had a good time though, and i did enjoy what i got to do and i'm grateful to everyone who was willing to thread with me

steps away for a moment because my cat wants to play.....

okay i think kibby is satisfied. sits back down. let's see...

oh right i will briefly touch on her halo, though it isn't that deep - the heart is obvious because cupid lol and lb puts heart imagery in every place it possibly can so i wasn't going to pass THAT up. and in the center was a sakura flower because -

as a human her last name is Sakurada, and her birthday is march 23rd, so she's associated with sakura a lot in the story

cupids have some name fuckery going in in where they both "lose" their last names and also write them in katakana instead of kanji, but it ... is something i had no idea how to translate into a text based english speaking rp so i just kind of didn't touch on it ever

i just avoided using it anywhere because i didn't want to obviously tip off that she had been human once

so! game stuff itself!! koharu is very much Just A Teenager who has no confidence so i knew going in i wasn't going to try like, chasing the plot hard or anything. i kinda just wanted to vibe and chill and go with the flow of stuff, so that's what i did

the first trial obvs hit her hard because obviously she isn't accustomed to murder and she liked charlie a lot, so it did shake her up pretty bad... she had hoped the body announcement was a mistake or something so walking into the church the next day was a huge blow oops

w1 trial i had to miss because of work so i honestly don't even remember what happened during it oop ?_? so i don't really have much commentary on it

presumably, sad things happened

w2 was also her first cyoa and gamers... whew...... It Was A Bad One

oocly i had a good time, siz ran a solid cyoa and i had a lot of fun threading stuff out with the others. but the content itself icly was. phew!!!!!!!!!!

because it involved a lot of amnesia/mind fuckery stuff, when all was said and done i made the execute decision that koharu would not wholly remember the worst of it because that baggage would have been soooo much to carry thru an entire game wheeze. AGAIN, I STILL HAD A GREAT TIME, but some things are not a great time for your character lmf

so for anyone trying to pry the whole story out of her... i'm sorry.... i don't know if i could have dropped that on Just Anyone lmf

hilariously two days later w2 trial happens and the self voting happens, which is why she went blind for the week. just to top off an already great week.....

i thought blindness would be a little annoying to play with but it actually turned out to be pretty fun. sorry for all the cr she worried tho... while i played around with it i didn't want to make it into a huge deal (& neither did she) so it was a lot of why she insisted no one worry too much about it

iiiit was also why i didn't hit up a lot of folks for memshares because i would have felt like a bit of a jerk asking for a thread when i know everyone wants to do memshares more than like, normal hanging out threads.

i still did a few and managed to make it work at least, and it was an interesting way of playing out what usually involves characters watching a memory to see what happens

but yeah that only lasted a week. she managed! i had fun ooc. i'm like... w3/4 were not exactly chill but more lowkey for koharu at least. i am trying to remember if any noteworthy details happened in those weeks...

well no i guess w4 involved watching a girl get stabbed in real time and then the next day watching a man get stabbed in real time which was the end of lowkey times for her, oops

because the w5 trial fucked her up and then the weekend of w6 fucked her up even more... at which point she did become a huge mcheckin' mess only consoled by the fact she knew the deadzos would be back within a few days of that

but the fact that the murders got progressively more brutal as the weeks went on really did a number on the mind... for sure.... she was truly over having to hear about it or even be involved with any of it

(but again i will loop back to apologizing if any of my ic reactions were annoying to anyone. i feel pretty bad about it now in retrospect.)

but in lighter news, i did get to do the one thing i shamelessly was hoping i'd get to do, and that was do as many love arrow crimes as possible

since koharu had her gun with her, cola was a generous soul and kept giving me bullets she could use on others. it was a good time and i couldn't have been happier for it.

i have no idea if anyone ever caught on to this, but it WAS really funny having other characters put the blame on literally everything else right in front of koharu's face (when she knew she did it lmao)

i think there was like only one or two weeks that would've been the exception, but i decided if anyone ever specifically checked to see if koharu's gun had been fired recently during trial item checks i would have said yes, but ... no one checked for that in particular until w7 which was also funny

oh right i nearly forgot w6 cyoa also happened, but... compared to w2, it was not nearly as awful lmao (but it was an emotional gutpunch)

it started off in an idyllic dreamscape which was perfect and nice until and unknown force said WAKE THE FUCK UP and sent them to hell. yay! so they had to traverse that shit and then arrive at a gate where they had to confront someone they felt they've wronged in the past

koharu had to face aki (THE FICTIONAL CHARACTER NOT THE PERSON) (it was very funny making aki rp aki), who is her best friend since childhood, and... the last person she was with when she died. while koharu isn't sure any of this would ever get back to the real aki, in a way it was still kind of a healing moment for her anyway

which is why she returned and kind of felt better about herself in one way rather than having a crisis or angsting about what happened rofl

i'll probably rewind back to other things as i remember them/i read back on threads, buuuut. at the end, koharu always knew she was going back home, and there was no doubt that wasn't happening. as much as she loves the people she's met, she was very very eager to go back

however she is still a teenager with a cellphone so she WILL text anyone willing to keep in touch with her

i won't say koharu is ultimately going back home worse, but she is going back home with some new trauma! yay!

gazes bc i thought i'd have more to say after passing out but if i did i have since forgotten... i am sooo bad at lore plurks and also cr ones but i did want to drop in like, if you want me to incoherently talk about cr anyone is always free to dm me on discord... we can talk blorbos in the safety of a private dm

or idk GET ME INTO YOUR CANONS TOO. i should seek out new media so feel free to push new stuff on me

all that said go read love bullet it's short and it's a fun read ok bye maybe

KOHARU

i was already thinking of reading love bullet and i am definitely going to do so now...

ME STILL SITTING HERE :BEN:ING OVER THE CHAPTER I READ...... LOVE BULLET YOU MADLAD..... also i loved koharu and her reactions holds her like a small bird and bursts into tears

beheads: PLEASE READ IT and then tell me what u think... rest assured i am def watching mizu's canon too huhuhu

bloodletting: HAHA AKI the reaction was very funny.... i have no idea what the general perception of koharu's canon was based on like, herself and what she'd talk about but it probably wasn't that huh.........

NOOOOO I THOUGHT IT WAS SO SOL i mean ig it partly is but CLENCHES FIST.. ill read it as well im sure

HEHE GOOD... it kind of is sol but it manages to be pretty action heavy too! one of the things i enjoy about LB is how it manages to feel high-stakes without actually being that much.

it also straight up emotionally devastated me... but it touched on grief in such a highly specific way for me on a personal level that im like (reblogs because i cry every time)
