suppression and journeys

crosspost from tumblr .
kossai grow up with paganism - sort of eclectic mix of things . learn about faeries and changelings , past lives , magic , and overall delve into culture and ideas that christians try to kill . still , that did not mean faeriehood come with one nice and easy path to follow .

under cut for length . not just about physical nonhumanity , but expect experiences will be particularly familiar there .

on silly topic ...

in think about mushroom musume , and various daughters that player can find : kossai not only have mushroom faeries here , but also happen to have ... potato faerie .
mushroom musume in real life is right here ~ ( joke )

actually kind of silly sometimes that character writing is very sapphic , when eira very much gay man and that tend to dominate front expression . really appreciate attention to detail , just not evoke affections in same way , hehe . so lovely how some daughters immortalise through world , though - nemuri's cavern , meloi mccoolname , how jaq and kapii work together at jo's cafe ...

... hmm , nemuri specifically lose humanity . wonder if nemuri's cavern would be not just name anymore , but literally where nemuri eventually live out life .

really want to buy house in mushroom village at some point , just need to figure out how to reliably get money . even pickpocket kuna only end up with 5 out of 10 necessary coins . ( yeah , cheap digs ! still not cheap enough . )

poetry ?

quite some time ago , kossai build tree out of trash - shitty gift paper , boxes , random scraps of trash , secrets that never want for anyone to see , all tape up and pin in place to shape tree . idea was would some day paper over , but just never manage to get around to that . so that tree stay as very visibly plastic wreck , while constantly threaten to fall apart just out of neglect and cover in layers of dust . sad , did not want to give up , but still never get around . not like need for materials - save up glue and so many papers for this ! but just never did , for some reason .

... until now , anyway . finally have enough of dance around work , especially with knowledge that lover legion work on plans to visit ( !!! ) , and yesterday commit to start process , paper whole thing over roughly . every few hours since then , kossai look around and touch up rough spots .
and realise that most of paper which use for this come from hospitalisations , both influenza this year and surgery last year . medication prescriptions , side effect pamphlets , discharge papers , wound care papers .

do feel some sort of strange poetry in that , but hard to put in words .

mushroom musume ~ story beats - kapii , mevina , & wanami

also , very excite , start to get deeper into long story of mushroom musume . of course , short cycle story is clear enough - recluse want for daughter , witch offer up , again and again and again . but there is reason to this cycle , deep secrets to this world . just become matter of how to unlock .

kapii - weeping maroon deathcap - help jo to restore cafe up in clouds , and now work there happily with jaq . like kuna , not many chances to actually act on cruel or visceral nature , even though try hard . want to act tougher than really able to sustain .

mevina , deathly devilish bleeding tooth , climb past jo's cafe on beanstalk to reach moon for first time . can not do anything here yet , but learn of violet-eye lady , and strange palace . ( finally recognise that picture which show off behind-scenes creation for ! yay ! ) other than that , mevina take caelia to gala , because why not .

wanami , weeping red deathcap ... yes , that is 3 deathcaps now , this garden setup is extremely good at deathcaps . will have to tweak this , because also really laggy . anyway , wanami have plenty of chances to act on visceral urges , and end up with 3 desiccation traits on top of each other ! that was huge mycelium and dampness loss with every round , but fortunately garden provide lots of dampness , and recluse provide lots of mycelium , so actually survive whole game . mostly . wanami try to pick eye flower , pick fight instead , then fail to flee and fall down chasm . with only 18 mycelium left , just no way to get back out .

but before all that ...

( spoilers of speculation )

this game is so good . need to know more immediately and consume into fibre of soul .
well , maybe not quite that dramatic , but pretty dramatic . :P
