I can’t resist to draw the fanart of this cute oni (or Ogre?). The game will get English translation if the Indiegogo funding reached the goal! Go and support this game! You can check the details in the link below

“It’s interesting you chose to make an RPG aimed for gay men particularly. We’ve written in the past
about the fact that gay gamers tend to be drawn to RPGs very
consistently. Are you aware of this trend? Do you have thoughts on this
phenomenon?”
“That’s really interesting! I can’t really speak for other game
players, so I’ll answer this from my perspective as a member of the LGBT
community who likes RPGs.
“I think that though we live together with everyone else in society,
LGBT individuals are often required to conceal their sexual identities
(of course, this depends on the person and their environment and may not
be the same for everyone…). While it may not eliminate it entirely,
playing RPGs and being able to become a completely different person can
help you deal with the frustration of hiding your identity. Looking back
on it now, I think the ability to escape from that frustration when I
played RPGs was really important for me growing up.
“In Fantastic Boyfriends, the protagonist is open about the fact that
he is gay, and never hides his emotions. Not only that, but the people
of the fantasy world he is brought to never react in a negative way in
regards to him being gay (though some characters may be surprised at
first). I hope if there are any gay people out there feeling upset about
their sexuality, they can be a different person while playing Fantastic
Boyfriends and feel relief from their frustrations, even for just a few
minutes.”

Fantastic Boyfriends: Legends of Midearth Funding Update #6
We’re in the final 48 hours here folks, and there’s still about $7,000 to go. This is the time to contribute if you want to help support a faster translation for this game. Remember, if the project doesn’t make its goal you’ll get your entire contribution refunded, but if it does make its goal, you can feel proud that you helped this game get a better start in the western market, and hopefully show more developers that content like this is desired outside of Japan. I hope everyone that has been following the game for the past month, or if you’re just learning about it now, will consider giving the campaign a closer look and contribute. It’s still possible! :)
Impulse donators, NOW is your time!

replied to your photoset “Guess I’ll at least take some caps.”
Hey, the quality might not be the best but it’s still good. I’m sure people enjoy seeing your Kochikame screencaps, I know I do.
I know, I know. But I want to exhaustively catalog the epic gayness of this show properly, goshdurnit!

Who was your very first cartoon/comic/etc. crush?
I’ll be honest and say I’m not entirely sure I can pinpoint it exactly, since I was very uncomfortable with the idea of being at all attracted to men during my early teens. However, by the time I got to have a PS2 in those years, there were some games that allowed me to, uh, study characters models up close if there were customisation options or something complete with zoom-ins and camera adjustments. Consequently, the first video game crotches I think I can remember zooming in on in the times I forgot to say “no I shouldn’t be looking at this“ were probably Jeffry McWild in Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution and Craig Marduk in Tekken 5, shown below in respective order:
The only other “first” that I can think of is perhaps Groundskeeper Willie at around the same time, possibly.
That got a bit heavy at the start, whoops!
