This series is dedicated to create awareness of the truth behind mental illness and recovery. Not only that, but the intention is to break the stigma. These are true stories of people who have struggled with all kinds of mental disorders. To find the stories click here >> Mental Illness Recovery Series <<

I have been wanting to play this game ever since I saw the anime. While I won’t 100% recommend the anime to everyone, especially if you played it before it was adapted, I will say that it was a good draw in. So once it was 90% off on Steam I bought the shit and played it! If you’ve been paying attention to my Amnesia tags then you already know most of my thoughts, but if you’re interested in what I have to say about the game as a whole, well then hello children, it’s murder time!

Amnesia: Memories is the first of three games by Idea Factory about a girl whose mind is collided with a spirit named Orion. Orion immediately feels bad, especially when he learns that you have lost both your memories and personality (why didn’t they mention this in the anime?), and decides to help you regain your memories before the end of August.

Like many Otome games (dating sims designed for a female audience), the let you come up with a name and also let you decide which world you want to go in.

The Heart World is where you are dating Shin, your childhood friend who also used to be a little brother figure to you until the two of you started dating three months prior to the game. He figures out about your amnesia right off the bat and plans to help you while trying to clear his name for an attempt of murder. This was my personal favorite route, since I kinda like the tough on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside guys (tsundere guys are bae). The bad end is hella bull but it’s easy to avoid it if you just trust Shin. It took me about two times to get the good ending, the normal ending being pretty nice and it’s a total downer.

The Spade World is where you date Ikki, one of your co-workers. Ikki kind of a ladies man, and it’s super sketchy. This was probably the third hardest for me to get through and I didn’t really like it as much as I thought that I would. But, it was still enjoyable nonetheless. This has two bad endings; one that you can get in the middle of the route, and one if you’re not careful about showing your amnesia. The normal end is pretty heart breaking for me personally, but isn’t as bad as some others. I wasn’t too thrilled about the good ending, but when I finally got it, I was pretty happy. Unfortunately I um…I had to cheat because I kept getting the normal ending. Oopsie.

The Clover World is where you date Kent, your former professor (or tutor since he’s still a student himself). Kent is very aloof and looks at everything from a scientific and mathematical stand-point. While personally Kent is not someone that I would go for off the bat, it was cute watching him try to relationship and try to be all lovey. With your relationship, he has a lot of inner problems to handle because he’s so used to everything being scientific. The normal end is possibly the more realistic of all of the endings in this arc, and the good ending is super cute. However I wasn’t sure how to feel about the bad ending. It seemed…out of character for him to me. This was the easiest route to get through for me and was my second favorite. I didn’t take any screenshots noooo

The Diamond World is where you are dating Toma, another childhood friend along with Shin. I hate this route. I was half-tempted to just skip through it but I decided against it and actually read it. I have a strong dislike for yanderes, with only a few making my favorite characters list. This is a route that I would advise going into with caution, as I was disturbed by it myself, especially the bad ending.

The Joker World is where you are good friends with Ukyo. Now, I say good friends because you two don’t really date in this route. Ukyo is a character that has been in each route, trying to direct you in the right path (or wrong path depending on which Ukyo it is). Each route has a bad end with Ukyo except maybe Ikki’s (can’t remember tbh). Ukyo is possibly the most heartbreaking character in this series, making me shed a bunch of tears at the normal ending (which you can chose to take in the last choice of the route). It has so many bad ends that I honestly just did them all first to get them out of the way. This one, along with Toma’s, is one that I would also proceed with caution because…there is just…so much death…so much death…It also gives a shout out to some routes, like Toma’s and Ikki’s, which was pretty cool.

I highly recommend this game to any Otome lover. It’s $29.99 on steam and you can also get it for the PSVista. Unsure if you can get it in English for PS so be sure to look into that if you’re planning on buy it for that.

what asexuality is:

lacking sexual attraction

what asexuality is primarily seen as:

abstaining from sex

being repulsed by sex

never having sex

what is still asexual:

having sex drive ( this is different than attraction )

having sex ( be it to sate sex drive or just because they enjoy it, one can still have sex even if they lack sexual attraction )

not having sex

lacking sex drive ( although you can lack sex drive and not be asexual )

enjoying sex

experimenting with sex

being sex repulsed

being interested in sex

being sex neutral 

having sex to please their partners

experience aesthetic, sensual, and romantic attraction or any mix of those things

your character can have sex and still be asexual. asexuality is merely lacking sexual attraction. asexual people can still have sex drive and even enjoy sex despite lacking sexual attraction. asexual people can be sex repulsed, asexual people can have experimented with sex and decided it’s not for them. asexuality is merely lacking sexual attraction.

asexuality is not necessarily being 100% sex repulsed ( even though there are plenty of asexuals who are sex repulsed there are also asexuals who are interested in and / or actively have sex )

Why?

Let’s say you make some vegan chocolate chip cookies. (I looked a recipe up for the sake of this post). These cookies are made with almond milk.

You have a friend that you’ve known for a few months now, and you think it would be nice to surprise them.

So, you offer them one of the cookies. You don’t tell them they’re vegan. As far as your friend is aware, they’re made with cow milk and chicken eggs.

Your friend takes one bite, and a few minutes later you’re using their epi-pen on them and calling 911.

See, what just happened is that your hypothetical friend here has a nut allergy that you didn’t know about, and the almond milk in the cookies was enough to put them in the hospital.

You could have avoided this whole situation by informing your friend that they’re vegan, thus prompting the question “It’s not made with almond milk, is it?”

This doesn’t just apply to cookies. While I’ve never found one, if you happen to know of a vegan fake meat that’s not made with soy and looks and smells exactly like the meat version, don’t serve it to someone and not tell them until after they eat it.

“But I, a vegan, would never do that!”

Great, then this post isn’t about you. This post is about the people who post shit like “when you give your friend vegan food without telling them and they like it *insert gif here*”, and it’s also about the thousands of people who reblog it.

sorry, didn’t mean to crush dreams - but i have a degree in horticulture and i was really excited when i first learned this.

maybe fairies and fungi are joining together to mourn the loss of the tree

Autism Speaks is a hate group.

The reasoning behind “Light It Up Blue” (that there are more autistic boys than girls) stems from a tendency in doctors to base their autism diagnoses on stereotypes and sometimes refuse to diagnose girls.

Most autistic people don’t want a “cure” for autism and don’t support Autism Speaks.

Autism Speaks has given abusive/ableist parents legitimacy by portraying autism as a terrifying, life-ruining affliction and sympathising with parents who have contemplated killing their children, or actually killed them.

The views of autistic people are more important in this topic than the views of our allistic family members and peers.

Autism is not a disease.

Very little (about 4%) of Autism Speaks’ proceeds go toward supporting autistic people. More of it goes toward catering.

Autism is not a tragedy.
