PLEASE READ

Hi everyone.

The Chapter 3 update is the biggest in terms of wordcount, and frankly, it's also the most disappointing and depressing update ever.

I've included a whole bunch of secrets (complete with a guide), new character art, hidden links and references to IAC... all in an effort to get a crumb of interaction.

It's been a week now, and besides a few survey responses and bug reports, I've received virtually ZERO asks here in Tumblr, or comments in the forum thread about what happened in Chapter 3 itself.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm very much tempted to keep future updates limited access. Because why share it publicly when I get ZERO engagement anyway? If every sneak peek, new idea or even a whole NEW UPDATE I have is met with silence, I might as well keep it private.

If you all want the next update to stay public, please, please send me some asks. About the update, the plot, the characters (including spoilers about IAC), your favorite scenes, anything really. Go ahead and tell me how stupid or dumb my story and characters are.

I don't want any praises or compliments, I want to talk about my story. That's how DDWCaPH! came to be today. Without me talking to other people, this story might have been long forgotten at the bottom of my documents folder.

I'm not overreacting here. The same thing happened when I first updated Chapter 2 as well. I expected this to happen. Doesn't make it hurt any less.

Tell me, am I asking for a lot here? Because seeing all these other IFs that I also adore get comments even without an update, and me getting none when I worked hard for it even while I was sick multiple times, I don't feel like I exist.

So much for writing a slice-of-life story.

With the recent influx of more Twitter refugees from dsmptwt I think now is the best time to remind people:

Dsmp fandom, please REBLOG posts

Likes on tumblr act as a bookmarking function. There is no algorithm here. Reblogs are the only way a post will get shared, and the only way a blog can grow. The tumblr fandom may be more chill than twitter but its much harder for fanarts and analyses to circulate if you don't reblog their stuff.

If you're on mobile you can use the fast-reblog option! Hold down on the reblog button of a post, then move your finger to the icon of whichever one of your blogs you want to reblog it to:

It's quick, simple, and super easy so if you aren't already doing that then I highly recommend you do so!!

[Edit: and as mentioned by ppl in the tags, the shortcut is e + reblog button on desktop 👍]

girl you are so   thing

something that i really like about blue eye samurai, now that im thinking about it, is that it discusses violence against women without becoming torture porn. like, in a lot of media that portrays women's issues, they show you that scene. like they give you this extended visual of a woman experiencing something traumatic and then laud themselves as feminist for doing so.

blue eye samurai doesn't do that. the whole show is set in a world that is extremely antagonistic toward women, and it makes a point to tell you that being a woman right now sucks, because they are property and are used sexually. but even though it doesn't shy away from this, it doesn't show you the violence itself, which you would almost expect it to because of how graphic the rest of the show is.

im thinking specifically of kinuyo. they very well could have shown us a scene of her being abused, but they didn't. they didn't show the abuse itself, but they did show how it affected her. they showed her seeing a doctor for her sores. they could have made this incredibly traumatic and grotesque scene a spectacle, showing us exactly how powerless she is and how powerful he is. they could have shown us this incredibly triggering event in full detail for our entertainment, but they didn't. they chose not to. and i think that's how it should be.

it is not necessary to have an extended visual and auditory reenactment of violence against women. we the audience understood the gravity of the situation and were able to empathize without needing that scene. having that scene would have completely detracted from the point they are trying to make. it would have turned something completely reprehensible that women everywhere fear because it's a very real issue into entertainment.
