Tonight is going to be another quick trip down #Kissmatewatches with Xena episodes! Still season one, with episode seven and eight. Stay tuned!
#Kissmatewatches Xena Episode Seven: Titans
Gabi frees some titans with a chant. Hyperion attacks the humans and threatens to free the rest of his brethren. Gabi and Xena turn them back to stone before he can, thus saving the day.
#Kissmatewatches This was a Gabi-centered episode where she acts a bit more immature than usual. She tries to get Xena to see she's useful and mature by trying to do things on her own, but she always ends up causing more trouble by meddling.
#Kissmatewatches Some of the plot points felt forced or a step out of character, but otherwise it was a pretty good episode! Good effects, decent story. Not much else to write about.
#Kissmatewatches Xena Episode Eight: Prometheus
Hera captures Prometheus, thus robbing humans of fire and the ability to heal wounds. Herc and Xena team up to free Prometheus. The catch is, the one to free Prometheus will die. It ends with a loophole and everyone living.
#Kissmatewatches Xena and Herc have this self-sacrifice feud going on, because they're both so heroic like that. Xena even tries to steal the magic sword with a "look at that" move. They feel like an older brother and a younger sister.
#Kissmatewatches Gabi and Iolaus feel like the same person, to the point they're AU genderbends of each other. It's awesome to see them point out insecurities of one another, and then try to beef each other up with it.
#Kissmatewatches The only thing I don't like is the shipping they're trying to make me do. Cause I can't. I can't ship the hetero couples.
Xena and Herc are too close to siblings-in-trauma.
Gabi and Iolaus are WAY too far in age (he's almost twice hers).
#Kissmatewatches We got time for one more Xena, just to finish off the disk. Onto episode nine!
#Kissmatewatches Xena Episode Nine: Death in Chains
Sisyphus captures Death, thus breaking the natural order. Xena and Co break it to Sisyphus that this is a BAD idea, thus causing him to set Death to be free. There's a gang of "undead" bandits who try to stop Xena. They die.
#Kissmatewatches I find it interesting that instead of Thanatos, it's "Hades' sister" that's captured. I like to headcanon that it's a Ker who got captured instead, as most of the deaths we see are violent or caused by disease. (It's not perfect, but oh well.)
#Kissmatewatches Another plus for Xena, because this is the best (and closest) depiction of Hades in popular media I've seen! He's cool, charming, and covered in that nice goth look, but not a villain in the slightest. He actually is the one to tell Xena about Death's capture!
#Kissmatewatches That's all I can do for tonight, but keep watching, for next time is Hercules! Good Night, all!

I have beaten Boyfriend Dungeon. I beat the final boss with all 7 weapons, meaning 7 fights. The endings are the same, no matter who you wield or who you love most, and you get nothing for the effort.

My final words for this game?
Unfinished, unpolished, possibly unfixable.
Spoilers in the following thread.
Sunder is in ALL the advertising. He's the angsty "Fix Me" Bad Boy. Everyone is going to pick him, yeah?
His story is the WORST one. Sunder breaks up with you because, and I quote, "You deserve better".
There is NO WAY to stop his decision. You have no say in it. It is BULLSHIT.

I can't stop thinking about Boyfriend Dungeon, and not in a good way. I've read how terrible the representation of ace/aro people gets as the story goes along. Here are my thoughts.
In a thread.
This game is written for alloromantic people. It's as simple as that. I guess the thought was we don't play dating sims, so why cater to us? Except we do. We play whatever games we want, and it doesn't matter why.
So when we ask for representation, we don't want just a little "be whatever you want" sticker and characters that tell us we're lying when we say we're also ace/aro. We're asking for something like a Friend option where we don't have to romantically date anyone,--

So I picked up Boyfriend Dungeon for the Switch because I'm a sucker for dungeon crawls AND otomes. Sounds perfect so far! It was $21 after tax, so a little steep, but that's Switch games nowadays, unfortunately.
At the start, it asks if you want texts from someone named Mom, 3 picks of pronouns (he, she, they) that can be changed at the apt, and a trigger warning.
"This game may include references to unwanted advances, stalking, and other forms of emotional manipulation. Play with care."
This is trying really hard to be inclusive and careful while still telling a story. There's not a ton of customization options, but I figure that's okay. A game can only go so far in the beginning after all.

Sunday is here! We've had some ill health in the household, so I figure the best time to lay about with a horror movie is now!
On this #Kissmatewatches, we're continuing the Hellraiser series with Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) dir by Tony Randel.
Something I didn't mention last time is the DVD we got had no captions. We were let down, but we did the best we could.
HB: HR2 also doesn't have captions. Different DVD, not in a set.
I am peeved- PEEVED, SIR, that I do not have my written accessibilities!

Here is the previous thread, if you didn't watch or read the first one.

Today is a wonderful day for a #Kissmatewatches! So grab a chair, pull out your puzzle boxes, and let's put together "Hellraiser" (1987) dir by Clive Barker.

I'm excited! Are you excited? I'm SO excited!
I know it was based on a book, this is the origin of Pinhead, and there's a Faustian deal that's made by a man who seeks pleasures inside of pain.

(But does this earn him a place at Pride?)
#Kissmatewatches We start with some wonderfully spooky music and credits. Must be an 80s film.

I used to work at a museum. We'd stand for hours with few breaks while being told to keep the breaks we do have shorter and fewer. After 7 years, my knees are starting to give out. There's hardly any cartilage left in the joint.
For 7 years (both full and part time), I would stand for 7 hours each day. That's not counting when I got home.
I only had medical insurance during 1-2 years of that time. I was trying to hold a job, live in a 1 Bed 1 Bath apartment with only one other person, and pay off my car.
I only had that one roommate help with finances. Parents have always told me that I COULD lean on them for help, but it was an emotional trap, so no I couldn't ask them for help. (They'd make me pay it back in full.)
