Hua Cheng: well, I kept the red pearl earring that dianxia wore when he saved me and weaved it into my hair to keep him close forever. I also built him 10k statues and a giant statue right in the kiln of mt tonglu.

Luo Binghe: i kept shizun's dead body perfectly preserved in a special room inside my palace for 5 years

Hua Cheng:

Happy 1st anniversary, Please Be Happy!

We're glad our heartwarming visual novel about grief, friendship and love has touched people all across the world.

In that time...

The music video for Someone Someday (PBH's ending theme) passed 100k views on YouTube!

The game gained over 200+ reviews on Steam - with a certified Very Positive rating!

We got a lot of people to fall in love with Miho (just as planned).

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we've got a few surprises in store!

We've released the .pdf for a special booklet included in the game's anniversary bundle! (now sold out) It contains two postmortems and a new short story and illustration about Silver. Patrons can download this .pdf immediately.

We wrote two massive postmortems for Please Be Happy, which were included in our anniversary booklet. Everyone can read these!

We opened up sales for Please Be Happy's OST on vinyl. Pre-orders start tomorrow, but our Patrons can reserve a vinyl copy early.

I’m never entirely sure what ‘representation of girlhood’ is supposed to mean tbh, so I went with sort of books/shows that have an exploration of those experiences as a theme 

Yellowjackets — self explanatory and the one you expected I’m sure 

Megan Abbott’s suspense books Dare Me + Give Me Your Hand + You Know Me Well as well as the Dare Me tv show (My mourned wlw show canceled after one season :/) which she co-wrote. All stories that deal with themes of girlhood and I love how she approaches it and the female chars and dynamics she writes. 

The Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray— basically think if the trc gang were all girls attending a boarding school in Victorian England and escaping into their fantasy dream forest universe every once in a while to escape the dangers of sexism. Yeah I fucking love these books I should reread them sometime. 

Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth — read earlier this year and really loved it, horror, included how a curse effected different generations of unconventional women and also polyamerous sapphics it’s real good. 

Pretty Little Liars — self explanatory 

Thank you!
