Now Playing Tracks

I started playing HM when I was thirteen, long before I ever knew what a fandom was. I always wanted someone to talk to about the game, but I didn’t know anyone else who played. However, now that I’m older and have found the fandom, I really don’t like talking about the game with other players. For the longest time, HM was my thing, I don’t really want to share it with anyone.

I used to be a huge Chelsea/Vaughn shipper, and would read just about any decent looking fic for the two, but the section of the HM fanbase that ships them as their OTP has completely turned me off of it.  It feels like all C/V fics really just consist of Mary- Sue self-inserts renamed Chelsea, along with one of the two having a horrible backstory of extreme abuse or a murdered parent.  Where has the originality gone?

Full Confession:

The other day I saw a confession about disliking hm64 (despite the confessor never having played the game) for it’s dark theme. To me, it is actually what makes it one of my all time favorite Harvest Moon games to date. It’s more realistic because it’s not always rainbow and butterflies. And yeah, it is not impossible to like BOTH BtN/FoMT and 64 at the same time! They’re both great games and the relationship/couples and characters are just as awesome!

I actually liked ANB a lot. I think taking some things and implementing others actually adds something new in the gaming experience. I understand people have different points of view, but I have to say, I never had so many things to do in a game like the new one. Usually after the marriage part I’d get bored of the game quickly and play it less, but now I feel like I have a lot more to enjoy!
