Had such a bad burnout that came out of the left field which took me outnof commissionfor a while... I was having such a good writing streak too ( ;´ - `;).

Thankfully Luca's wedding card brought me back to life and made me want to write about a lovey-dovey marriage with him as an offering to get him home. Let's see whether you all will be hearing about a marriage happening or a divorce proceeding.

[chiyokococo]

UPCOMING CARD!!!

We've had weeks of bachelors and now we have another wedding! Not to one of the bachelor card characters though can't have you noticing that white suits are pretty repetitive.

You get a husband and a personal knight!!! A real package deal!! Luca's wedding card is coming later today!

Silly Luca, if they're coming up behind you then it's pointless to hide the flowers behind your back! Goober.

Character Card: Sworn Oath(「君への誓いにかけて」  "Swearing This Oath To You") Skill: Pledged Allegiance(「傅く忠騎士」  "Loyal Knight Serves You") Fully Awakened Skill: Eternal Devotion(「永遠の忠義」  "Eternal Devotion") Warding Card: For You(「君に捧ぐ一輪」  "A Single Flower Offered To You")

There's also new cosmic bonds. Don't know who's in them of course--but it sounds like reliable third years and their kouhais and more brothers(or brothers in arms?)

Those Who Came Before And Those Who Follow After (「なんだかんだで頼れるのは先輩」 "No Matter What I Can Rely On My Senpai")

Brotherhood (「ブラザーフ���ド」 "Brotherhood")

Thursday is the new episode and should be the episode cards too! Unless they upload them all separately like they did with the bachelor ones which. . .honestly i hope not but i get it if they do.

Gacha is gambling and gambling is a serious addiction! Help is out there if you need it! Banners rerun so please be smart with your money and diamonds--you can get any unit you miss another day! If you do decide to spend, set limits and keep an eye on how much you spend so you can stick to them!

Your life shouldn't revolve around any one person, group, or thing--completing one another does not mean you need to be one in your entirety rather than wholes who are best together. But should the nature of your union call for it, stay true and loyal. And should the time for you to part come, be understanding, be clear, and be ready to stand on your own.

Stats for the people with the charts and stuff!

See you Thursday for the new episode!!

What's their relationship with the MC like? How does it change, if at all? (genderbent inspector or not, whichever you want.)

Featuring Fem!Luca

This is a part of the Genderbent Tokyo Debunker event by @cloudcountry! There were so much that I wanted to add but when I read through I realized many overlapped with the other prompts of the event, so I sadly had to leave that out. Well, I guess that just means I have an idea of what to put in the others. If any of the headcanons sound weird, do let me know since I wasn't too sure how to properly write this one out. I tried my best editing it till it was good though.

Lucy is the kind of person who judges people base on their character rather than their gender. To her, it matters not whether what is the gender of the person standing in front of her but whether they are being sincere to her or not.

There won't be any difference in how Lucy treats the MC, irrespective of whether the inspector is a girl or a boy. There may be a difference in how quickly Lucy closes the physical gap depending on the gender of the MC, with the female MC quickly getting closer to her compared to the male! MC. But it always ends in Lucy forming a bond with the MC, understanding what boundaries she will not cross (if she does that, just know that she didn't know about it before so just politely tell her as soon as it occurs or beforehand to avoid it in the future) and following it wholeheartedly.

She will still consider herself as the protector of the group since she promised both the MC and fem!Kaito. She does not care whether the MC is a boy or a girl. In the end, the inspector is a civilian burdened by the curse and should not have to deal with it alone. So what if the man is supposed to be the one "protecting" girls? Lucy actively disagrees with these sorts of ideas and would feel like her abilities are being called into question. She will properly reassure the male!MC that she is a ghoul and as someone who has been given such power, she will carry the responsibility that is attached to it. The male!MC won't make Lucy feel like he does not trust her or treat her as if she is an object to be protected... but sometimes, accidentally, miscommunication happens.

Maybe it is because Lucy can't read between the lines in social contexts, or that communicating in another language that you are not native is difficult in regardless of how fluent you are due to all the cultural aspects tied to it, or just simply the male!MC instinctively using his body as a shield when encountering an anomaly. With different scenarios that can happen from accidental miscommunication, one thing is for certain that both of them will properly talk about it. Lucy wants to set things straight, and the male!MC never had the intention of making her feel inferior. Both of them don't want to create a rift between their friendship that was their first bond they created in Darkwick.

A friendship between the male! MC and Lucy would be based on always helping each other and understanding what is best to do according to the situation and needs of the other person. It is a strong case of incredible amounts of mutual respect and understanding in a friendship— the male! MC being a sweetheart and putting effort in helping Lucy find her lost twin while Lucy being ready to help her friend at a drop of a hat and unwilling to hear any sort of slander towards the efforts of the male! MC, ready to fight for the MC's honour.

These miscommunications are less when the inspector is a female, but they will be replaced with Lucy getting confused by all sorts of casual activities done between girls. She would always either walk up to the MC or fem!Kaito, sometimes even both when they are spending time together, and ask all sorts of questions that she had when she searched it on the internet after hearing it from either of her friends during a conversation.

She once read on the internet that sleepovers between girls are supposed to include a blood ritual sacrifice. That does not sound safe and can potentially make a civilian's life bounded to a demon.... on second thoughts, can this be a potential mission so she can fight that demon? She will make sure to talk about this to the captain and that the MC and fem!Kaito are safe before starting this ritual, after all this summoning seems like a group effort. And why does this crepe look so colourful and has such a large teddy bear made from whipped cream on top? She likes crepes but this looks completely different from the ones that she has eaten back at home. Instead of getting a clean line of cream on her nose, instead she might get a part of the teddy bear's face on her nose. Maybe the whole head of it? It's still a cute sight. Getting matching bracelet sounds good, that way she can quickly find the MC and fem!Kaito if they ever were to separate during a mission... though please keep it simple, it might get in the way of her daily training and she fears that it might get destroyed during combat.

All of these are small moments of her not properly understanding that sleepovers between girls does not include a sacrifice and it's just a joke, these crepes are done to attract customers, and they can just get the normal looking ones which can best represent their friendship.

Overall, Lucy's relationship with the MC is that of close friends, no matter what gender the MC presents as. She sees the inspector as her friend, a cherished person who she has sworn to protect in difficult times. The MC has shown courage to face this curse and Lucy will do all that she can do to reciprocate it with her own feelings of determination and sincerity towards finding a cure for her friend.

What’s their relationship with the MC like? How does it change, if at all? (genderbent inspector or not, whichever you want.)

. . . for rikka shinjo!

Sinostra’s Representative, First Year, Aspiring Attorney.

Her relationship with MC, genderbent or not, does not change very much. Still as business oriented as ever, if you aren’t acting as the standard she set for you as her business partner, she will have a bone to pick with you!

 ~~~

“MC, you’re late,” Rikka states plainly, arms crossed over her chest as she surveys your state.

“Rikka, I’m on time,” you correct her cheerfully, sliding into the booth next to her, “You don’t have to count the seconds. Leo had me occupied.”

Rikka huffs, a furrow in her brow as she places her timer on the table. She doesn’t say anything about your remark, but you know she doesn’t have to. It stings a little, to know that she’s disappointed in your efforts—as a business partner, rather than a friend, no less.

Cold.

“Rikka, have you considered friendship?” you blurt, tilting your head to the side.

She sputters at your question, searching your face for any ill intent. Rikka’s shoulders don’t relax when she finds none. Instead, she opens her notebook and flips to a new page.

“I am not searching for friends at the moment,” she replies less than smoothly, “If you wish to partake in such...relationships, I suggest you—”

“I consider us friends, though. They aren’t things you search for, they just happen,” you explain.

Rikka opens her mouth, then closes it. She looks indignant, but turns her attention to her notebook.

You watch as she scribbles some notes down about friendship, citing you as her primary source.

You watch her writing with an affectionate grin, and wipe it off your face the second she looks up.

The last thing you want is her grilling you for smiling.

What about their room decor? Featuring Fem! Luca

The lovely event hosted by @cloudcountry!

Let me say, I had the most fun writing this, surprisingly yet unsurprisingly. A surprise because I thought it wouldn't top me yapping about Lucy in the general headcanons... but an unsurprising one because I am a firm believer that one's room reflects the person's state of mind and I love me some Luca character analysis. Also!!! I had to take some liberties in some of them? Light spoiler for Luca's affinity chats and meet ups because yes, I went through all of them since the 10th affinity chat has the MC enter his room (I am still not over it, I never will be) plus the beginning portion of the first Frostheim chapter because I remembered that he vaguely mentions about his dorm room. The liberty I took here is that in his 4th affinity meet up, when the MC asks whether he lived in a dorm, he said that yes, Emrys has a house system too. Now, my main language is not English so that confused me. Does that mean he technically lived in three different places??? So that's the first liberty I took. The second one is that I headcanon that MC, regardless of gender, is really good at arcade games, especially the claw machine and rhythm games. It's just a one line here so it doesn't matter.

Anyways... I talked too much. Enjoy the headcanons! I also did that over here and I hope I didn't deviate from the prompt a bit too much ;^;

Lucy has seen a lot of different views and settings outside of her room's window when the early morning rays peeked into her room from window curtain. Yet the inside of her room has never seen much change, reflecting the laser-sharp focus she has and her thirst for knowledge.

The room where she grew up in along with her twin has quite a few fond memories attached to it. Back in her home when both her and her twin were just children, there were a lot of puzzles and toys such as building blocks stored in the shelf cabinet as well as books lined neatly on its bookshelves in an ascending order according to size only for them. On every afternoon, her and her twin would take turns to pull out their favourite from the cabinet that is bolted securely to the ground and wall, place it down on the huge fluffy rug in the center of their room and continue from where they last left off. Their room wasn't overly decorated, but the colour combination chosen for this room gave innocent vibes while at the same time not clashing with what laid before them as soon as they opened the door.

Out of all the rooms in the house, this is her most cherished place. Whenever Lucy comes across that particular room (which is now empty aside from the cabinet that is still bolted in place... just missing those books and toys that once occupied it) that belonged to both of them when they were children, she would have a soft smile on her face before walking away.

As they grew older, so too did the expectation of handling bigger responsibilities. Lucy is grateful that their parents gave them a moment to live their childhood before teaching them what an heir of the household is supposed to do. Some may say that it is early for the twins to start their formal education but the ideology that the heir has to be stronger than the rest remains. Sadly, it meant that Lucy and her twin had to start living in separate rooms but it never stopped either of them from staying in the other's room for a bit. Lucy would always be the one to walk to the room and readily greet her twin early in the morning for their training, meanwhile her twin would sit near the open window of Lucy's room and breath in the evening wind to relax. Here, Lucy's room has a similar cabinet bookshelf that she had before, plus a wide study table for her to read and pen her notes down. Everything in her room is tidy and she makes sure to regularly clean her room. After all a clean room reflects a calm mind, or so she believes. Lucy was never the type to decorate her room, if you don't consider the plethora of books and a single reading lamp on top of the nightstand as decorations. So there is nothing that helps spice up her room.

In the beginning of sleeping separately from her twin, whenever she lied down on her bed to rest up for the day, her hand would unconsciously move towards another familiar hand but was met with nothing but the cold space beside her single bed. She later got used to not having another bed next to hers... she has more pressing matters to attend and bigger shoes to fill in. 

When Lucy entered Emrys Academy, it wasn't a jarring change for her. Yes, it did take a while to live in a dorm but she quickly got the hang of it. The same sense of room decor carried over that she practiced back at home— organized and tidy room with not much to look at. Though, if one were to look back at it, the room felt... lonely. It never helped the fact that she was the sole ghoul over there, and by her own admission she said that she has caused troubles to other students because of that. Don't get it wrong, she was appreciated for her personality and sense of duty over there. But when it was time to transfer to Darkwick to find her twin and subjugate a demon, she didn't have to do much while packing and finished it under fifteen minutes. So, with her luggage in one of her hand and a parting bouquet on the other, she left her dorm room as empty as it was when she stepped into it for the first time.

Lucy's dorm in Frostheim, again, is clean and tidy. The basic furniture provided to the Frostheim students here are all that decorates her room. The only noticeable thing that could be considered as truly hers are the two suitcases— one big brown trunk suitcase and a red suitcase— that she carried with her that contains all her essentials from back home. She is here on a mission, so she actively chooses not to decorate her room and hence did not bring any cherished items from back home. Though, she feels more comfortable staying here than when she did in Emrys. This dorm room is similar in the way her personal room was at her home, was what Lucy concluded. And it may as well be the case, but it feels like Lucy finally found close friends to let herself feel this level of comfort like she did a long time back. 

With the rare but enjoyable outings she has with fem!Kaito and male!MC, Lucy always ends up returning with a souvenir from the place that they visited. Those tend to be small trinkets like a keychain that fem!Kaito liked that the three ended up getting it as a matching one, or a mini plushie that the male!MC won for both of them (the two were surprised at how good he was with the claw machine). They would all start to populate her room little by little like sitting near the corner of her tidy desk and guarding all her class notes. It's very easy to miss them but when paying close attention, they can be easily spotted. All of them are hidden in plain sight to someone who is taking a glance into her room, but to Lucy they are incredibly evident and she hopes to keep on getting these small reminders of this wonderful friendship. She knows why she is studying in Darkwick and hasn't lost sight of it, yet she starts to unconsciously decorate her room with all the things she is gets from this academy (mainly the friendship... especially the friendship).

What about room decor?

. . . for rikka shinjo!

Sinostra’s Representative, First Year, Aspiring Attorney.

Back home, her room is minimalistic to avoid distractions. At Darkwick, she allows herself a little more freedom. Potted plants line her windowsill, and she indulges in the occasional trinket on her bookshelf. She keeps a meticulous watering schedule and cleans regularly. The interior is always very neat and tidy, with her bed always done and her pillows always fluffed up.

She never has any dirty laundry or freshly cleaned clothes out. Dirty laundry goes in the hamper in her closet and clean clothes are folded and put away immediately after she gets back to her dorm room. Her mother used to listen to opera music while folding clothes, so she does the same to remind her of home.

Rikka has a few posters of flowers she thinks are pretty and artwork from artists she admires. Postcards that her mother picked up from the places she traveled are clipped to a string that stretches across the wall above her bed. It’s a cozy space, with soft fairy lights that flicker on at night, and a diffuser to make the room smell nice.

Her desk has a single mirror on it for when she has to do some quick fixes to her hair in the morning, as well as a keurig for making coffee. She still drinks it black for the most part!

Overall, a very clean room! Most people would still consider it bare, but she doesn’t mind it.

silly ghoul hcs!

i’m knee deep in tkdb lore so here you have my silly little headcanons for each of the ghouls~

frostheim:

jin kamurai: he can’t drive. like, at all. he never had to learn how to because he always had a chauffeur and now he’s 1. too embarrassed and 2. too mentally ill to even be willing to be put into the driver’s seat

tohma ishibashi: he actually has a really short fuse. he used to throw hands every chance he got when he was in vagastrom. alan had to ban him from the pit for a while…

kaito fuji: he’s obsessed with kpop. he’s a lesserafim stan through and through. chaewon biased until the end. he actually knows the entire “come over” choreography by heart

lucas errant: he unironically says things like “innit.” some days it even slips out when he speaks japanese and it truly is kaito’s 13th reason

vagastrom:

alan mido: he once fell down a day long cave diving rabbit hole on youtube only because his laptop froze and he had no idea how to fix it. to this day he can tell you step by step what you need to watch out for when cave diving even though this man doesn’t even have a scuba license…

leo kurosagi: one of his fans turned into a stalker once and he got rid of them by showing them a screenshot of his monthly credit card bill

sho haizono: he speaks multiple languages fluently but he never actually took any classes, he just dated lots of different people lol

jabberwock:

haru sagara: he is actually awfully allergic to dogs. like full on sneezy, sniffly, teary allergy. that’s why towa takes care of the human-faced dog!

towa otonashi: he only uses the flower language to give people nicknames since haru told him that “foul looking undead asshole” wasn’t an appropriate way to refer to edward

ren shiranami: he used to play the piano extremely well. gaming isn’t the only thing those fingers are good at… his parents put him in piano classes early on (he complained) and made sure he attended every lesson (he complained constantly) but turns out he has quite the talent! he’d rather die than tell anyone though…

sinostra:

taiga hoshibami: he’s extremely perceptive! uncannily so even. he grew up in tokyo’s underground so he kinda had to learn but now he uses his perception and people-reading skills solely to annoy the shit out of romeo. lulu can’t keep anything from him~

romeo lucci: he’s an extremely talented designer and seamster. before he got his own brand under the house of lucci, he had to prove himself. sometimes, when inspiration strikes (and taiga doesn’t try to burn sinostra into the ground) he still sews. he’s made a bunch of anonymous entries to the tokyo, milan and paris fashion weeks that ended up making it onto the runways!

ritsu shinjo: he never had a romantic partner before. he’s almost like, painfully inexperienced in absolutely everything. never held hands. never had a first kiss. never did anything scandalous. taiga caught on to that and ritsu is still trying to find a section in his law book that would allow him to smite his captain if he brings it up again…

hotarubi:

subaru kagami: he’s such a sleepy guy… he loves his naps. he could nap all day. and it doesn’t really help that hotarubi is so comfortable with the rain… he’s always been this way and when he was a kid, his parents even got him tested for narcolepsy. negative though, he just really loves to snooze at any given time

haku kusanagi: he loves threatening to switch houses at the slightest inconvenience. stubbed his toe? i’m joining vagastrom. missed a deadline? might just let edward bite me atp. forgot his umbrella? moving to jabberwock. subaru knows he’s not serious but panics a little every single time lol

zenji kotodama: he used to be hotarubi’s vice captain, so now that he’s a ghost he has his nightly revenge every now and then (aka he plays the biwa in front of the rooms of students who didn’t listen to him when he was alive)

obscuary:

edward hart: he unironically watches stuff like love island and too hot to handle. when asked he muses about how fascinating the human urges and desires are but really, he’s just in it for the drama. he once binge watched all the love island uk seasons in one sitting

rui mizuki: he’s an unapologetic taylor swift fanboy. she’s been his #1 spotify wrapped artist the fifth year in a row now and he wouldn’t wanna have it any other way

lyca colt: he once tried to eat dogfood because ren dared him to (“just think about it, it’d be so much cheaper than human food”) but he hated it. lyca can hold grudges like it’s no one’s business so he’s still trying to figure out how to get ren back for that

mortkranken:

yuri isami: he constantly worries about missing any social cues when interacting with people

jiro kirisaki: he doesn’t know that there are social cues

Prompt: how would their fashion sense & style change?

- Rui Mizuki ♡

After getting cursed she had a hard time dressing up and would wear the men's uniform since it had more coverage. But with time she found a way to still be stylish while protecting herself and others.

She now priorities wearing turtlenecks and thick tights to still be able to wear mini skirts. Tall boots are also a perfect solution to be both safe and absolutely fashionable, especially when styled with long socks!

She also prefers wearing these long leather gloves, for dramatic effects. Better be safe than sorry! And they also add a little something to each outfit.

Now being unable to wears tons of rings like she used to, she now compensates being wearing multiple necklaces. Nothing too flashy but enough to give this effortlessly chic vibe.

In terms of makeup she keeps it light all while putting more emphasis on her eyes, after all eyes are the window to the soul and she's here to show that her soul is as cute as she is.

Here's some sketches I made of her casual fit and uniform:

[chiyokococo]

As soon as I read light academia, I knew that I had to draw it... it's like a neuron activation to me at this point. And the more I read it, the more the urge took over.

I really hope you like it @cloudcountry and that it is in line with your vision, however close it may be, of how Rikka would look like! Sorry if it looks rushed, I did try to make it as clean as I could.

(Didn't draw a thick book for Rikka to carry because I will carry all the heavy books for her. Even if I break my back. Also, while I do think that Rikka will wear her coat properly, the idea of covering the turtleneck with its sleeves somehow made me feel sad.... so I didn't.)

How would their fashion sense & style change?

. . . for rikka shinjo!

Sinostra’s Representative, First Year, Aspiring Attorney.

Instead of outfits that are made up of the exact same color with some checkered pants, (sorry ritsu) I believe she would wear a lot of light academia clothing. Fond of long skirts or a shorter skirt with tights, she just wears whatever feels right. While some members of her house may stress over what tones best suit their skin and eyes (ahem), Rikka finds comfort in softer colors that allow her to blend into the background. It’s a lot easier to keep your presence undercover when you’re not too flashy.

She is also aware of the stereotype that people with glasses are subconsciously viewed as more intelligent, so she carries a pair of frames around with her. They don’t have lenses, and her vision is fine, but if the situation calls for it she will wear them. Women are taken less seriously than men are, and she knows that well enough. Covers all of her passes to ensure best possible results.

When she came to Darkwick, Rikka never considered painting her nails. Even now, she prefers them unpainted, but if someone can convince her that they will look more well kept with polish or press ons, she will do it. Would opt for a muted pink or brown color for her nails.

During the winter seasons, she wears a lot of turtlenecks. If you’re close enough to hug her, she is very fluffy and soft...just make sure you ask first, because otherwise she’ll grab your ear and scold you.

How would their fashion sense and style change?

For the genderbent tkdb event hosted by @cloudcountry featuring Fem!Luca. This post has a drawing in it since I couldn't contain myself. I just seriously hope that tumblr does not screw over my drawing that much, my pencil already does that. Also, if there is any grammatical mistake, I apologize for that. I finally had the motivation to write it, it always strikes me when I am feeling sleepy and I don't want to skip a day on this event.

Lucy's fashion sense is centered around comfort and mobility. Even though she isn't too into fashion, her fashion sense is sharp enough to not make her look unflattering. Her daily wear focuses more on layering her clothes since her wardrobe tends to either have one colour or have accent colours that complement the main one. The only thing you wouldn't see in that wardrobe is anything that is particularly long and flowing. Having them in her clothes makes her feel like it might either get snagged in a branch or stray nail so she tends to avoid those unless it is for an important event.

Like her male counterpart, Lucy has a lot of cardigans and vests to go with her buttoned up shirts. When you touch one of her woolen clothes, they feel as if you are running your hands along the softest clouds on a sunny day. She is a bit particular about the material, especially the lining fabric. Since her skin is a bit sensitive towards rougher materials, it makes her skin itch after wearing it for a while so she avoids it.

She has an athletic inverted triangle build, like a gymnast. With her muscles being lean but well defined, she tends to wear clothes that complement her look. So her wardrobe would majorly consist of flared pants, structured blazers, A-line clothes, belted trenchcoats, cardigans, among others. She has maybe one or two skirts in her closet, but they would almost always be chosen over the wider and varied amounts of pants that she has. She tends to stay away from deep necks, even though it greatly complements her build, and always opts for something that wouldn't show her bust. She might wear them, but again it depends on the occasion and would very rarely wear them.

Lucy's skirt (that is folded neatly and tucked away in the corner of her wardrobe) would be a long flowy coffee-brown skirt that would have white frills at the bottom and golden embroidery on the lower hem. She, as said before, does not wear any flowing bits or skirts for the sake of her comfort and mobility. But this skirt was a gift from her parents that makes her carry it around with her all the way to Japan. She does not wear it much but whenever she does it always makes her feel closer to home, the homesickness that unconsciously bubbles within abated for a while.

Her style of dressing shines the brightest during the autumns and early winter. With her preferred styling to be layering and her favourite cloth fabric being woolen, she exudes beauty and grace with every step she takes. She has a small collection of trenchcoats that she is happy with, a particular coffee brown belted trenchcoat being her favourite. She doesn't wear caps or beret, neither a bow to accessorize her hair. She barely even has accessories to begin with, with her mission to find her lost twin and to subjugate a demon, the ones that she has is tucked away in the corner of her jewelry box back in her home. Thankfully, those rare trips using the R&R permit with fem!Kaito and male! MC are helping her gain one or two extra pieces to add to her already small collection.

Speaking of collections Lucy is proud of, she has a considerable variety of belts that she switches it up in her every day clothes. From wide to narrow, leather to cotton, and different colours, she feels like a belt finishes the look perfectly. These are the only ones that accessorize her everyday look.

Now here's the picture! This one has the skirt mentioned in the headcanons. I hope it looks decent??? Also the choice of combination.... I had such a difficult time thinking of what complements what so I hope it looks good enough to wear. It's a full body picture, which is something I am not used to so maybe it adds to the wonkiness I feel? I dunno.

Guess what! Ya girl had a random spark of inspiration \(⌒0⌒)/ (don't expect this too often, if at all)

Hope

So basically, you decide to test out the theory that the Kyklos is strong enough to protect you against other curses. How you convince Rui to test it out? No idea.

Your gaze crawls from your linked hands, up his arm, and finally toward his face. Rui's face was lowered and turned away slightly, but you could tell his eyes were slammed shut. The tension in his shoulders seemed to tighten more and more with each shaky breath. You want nothing more than to reassure him that you're okay. Nothing bad was happening, but the cold lump in your throat wouldn't let you speak. As if the vibrations of your voice were enough to break whatever momentum was building.

This is a big breakthrough, was all the hope you could muster. Your year was almost over. Would it be too naive to hope now? Maybe just a little. Maybe for this tiny quiet moment, you can pretend it'll get better.

But Rui...

You squeeze his hand once. Noticing for the first time tiny scars and cuts all over the pale skin. His head shoots up suddenly before you can speculate further. His face was flushed and tense. Eyes nearly overflowing with tears that refuse to fall.

The seconds inch forward as his face morphs from grief to shock to confusion. Your eyes connect and you can sense a bit of a different emotion. Though there's nothing different about them, you swear you can see slight glow in his eyes.

"You're okay..." The question is more of a sigh than a whisper, with a broken shutter at the end.

Your face relaxes as the corners of your mouth rise upward.

"I'm okay."

If I can add to this conversation (I believe the explanation given is already understandable as to what is the most important thing to do when building cards), I'll just add a few small notes that I think might also help. Just take what I say with a grain of salt because I am still trying to understand the mechanics of it as well.

Always upgrade the gems! By gems I mean the ones that you add to cards and has those different colours that associate to different stats. They give so much power boost to your cards so it is worth your investment. To power those up, you get the coins (they look like Barbie poker chips to me tbh), gem shards that can get you to buy those very same stat stones, and finally later down the line when your stones have higher level in them you need to have the lower level of the same stone you want to upgrade.

The process of powering them up is by tapping on the ring/brooch/perfume/necklace/earrings so that its window opens up. Go to the gems section of it and it will enlargen to show you what gems you have equipped in it. There is a poiting up arrow below each of those gems and tapping it will let you see the required items for levelling up your stones.

Here, I selected the arrow below the HP gem (the white one) and it leads me to this.

From the picture, you can already see what level 10 gems bring to the table. From what I saw while looking at the base power of each gems, the basic stat gems (ATK, SATK, PATK, HP, PDEF, SDEF) offer a higher base power compared to others, but I won't say to ditch the rest. From what I read on a post about the gem guide for tkdb, TENACITY (the black gem) compliment the ones who have SATK while VITALITY (the light blue gem) is more suited for PATK cards. I can't find it right now but I'll definitely try and link it back so others can see a more detailed version of what those gems do! There are also guides in general so I would suggest to check that out!

And while we're on the topic of equippables, just try to upgrade the ring/earring/perfume/necklace/brooch to the next best thing. They also give higher stats so always do the free Mr. Mo Mining to get either a bronze or silver to forge and level up the materials. If you are willing to forfeit your gems to Mr. Mo, which please do it when it is Mr. Mo's bonus event to get free materials and such, then do it in order to get the gold ones.

It is a very slow process. Emphasizing on the very slow part since it is really slow and it should be taken as a slow process. My dumb brain spent almost 30k on Mr. Mo and I now regret it since I am just 5 gold away from forging an SSR equippable. So don't do what I did and take it slow. I would say that your main focus should be on the gems and check at whether you want to upgrade your equippable to SSR or keep it as SR.

Another way to power your cards up is by using the limit break fruits/the gapples. They're the rainbow coloured apples you get on logging into tkdb and other various means like using those green feathers that you get in the character card screen as free resources. Go to the Pheonix Exchange that is in the Special button in the Homse Screen and exchange it for some gapples. Also, next to the Pheonix Exchange is the Premium Shop where you exchange your diamonds for a bundle. Now, tkdb always gives out warding cards for free after you collect 80 points (kinda need to check on the number, but I do know that it happens) on doing your daily missions. And also, always try to finish your daily mission, the last checkpoint for it gives you 2 gapples... not a lot but saving it always helps in the long run. After getting those five copies, they convert into Dark Matter. It also happens when you pull on character banners and get multiple copies of R characters and their respective warding cards. Always exchange the Dark Matter to get the bundle so that you can get the Artifact Gift Set. That is your sure-fire way of getting your gapples. If you are in an active guild that participates in Game of Claw and/or Ragnarok, try to participate in them since you get rewards for it and there are chances for you to get gapples. It is incredibly important to follow what the guild captain asks you to do, so just do that while following the rules laid down. But if you don't want to join guilds or are unable to do so then it's fine, what I said regarding guild is just a suggestion.

To wind it all up, I would say to focus on limit breaking 1 SSR character (resources are already less so best to focus on 1 SSR character) and upgrading their gems. Building cards in this game is really about patience and managing your resources. It is a slow process, but the satisfaction is there when you see the character you invested in deal a lot of damage and clear the case is really satisfactory.

Until you hit that roadblock of unableto defeat the case, but that's just sadly how it is.

do you have any advice for team building in tokyo debunker? im stuck at case 63 and cant prog in the story until i do it. i have almost 1.9m in power but cant even win victories over ~900k people 😩

UHHH okay my knowledge of this is like ... itty bitty .... but i will tell you what ive been doing & what i know for sure !!! :3 for both card + team building since they're kinda intertwined C:

so this will be under the cut LMAO

lets start with my ritsu card as an example because i love him. where do i even start . Okay.

so these are all your important Bits. awakening, lvl, and potential are all pretty basic, but warding cards, jewelry, the guardian spirits(?), and Skills are less self explanatory.

lets start w skills !!!!

once you press the skills button, something like this should come up. it looks overwhelming but in my experience literally the only thing that really matters is whether your card is a special attacker / physical attacker, and the card's passive skill.

although final stand is a different story...i didnt even realize he had that skill im so fake TT0TT its self explanatory though dw

the card's passive skill determined which slot it should be in on your team.

since shadowed glass has a passive skill that only goes into effect when the card enters from reinforcements, it's important that the card is in either the fifth or sixth slots of squad one or in any other squad after that. those are your reinforcements.

pay attention to revenge and entry skills!!! ritsu has an entry one but some characters apply a debuff once they get killed T0T

as for special & physical attacker, thats important for your warding card

see when i was just starting out i got in the nasty habit of just slapping whatever gems i had onto cards and yk, when you're a beginner player you need all the strength you can get so its actually totally fine to do that But. dont keep it that way. so yk if you have any cards you might have done that to GO CHANGE THEM!!!!

the formula i use is pretty simple tbh i build all the cards the same way.

-> for special attackers, which ritsu is !! i use a special attack gem, an attack gem, and an HP gem.

-> for physical attackers like my haru sr, i use a physical attack gem, an attack gem, and an HP gem.

i use the same gems for the jewelry too ... although i am unsure if thats the best method because i havent gone through each lvl 3 gem to see which one is the strongest which each piece yet so

YOUR FIRST PIECE OF JEWELRY IS HP AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS UPGRADE THIS ONE!!!! SUPER USEFUL!!! ignore that i havent yet all my resources have been going to my luca card for now ANYWAY.

theres a REASON i havent upgraded this one though. the special attributes for this card are physical not special. ritsu is a special attacker. those skills would do basically nothing tbh. it's still beneficial to increase the potency grade nd stuff but not the attributes yk?

,,,,,,, AGAIN ALL MY RESOURCES ARE GOING TO LUCA HOLD ON. UPGRADE THIS ONE FOR RITSU. DO IT. its important to pay attention to special attributes and build your jewelry just as good as your warding cards that all im saying T0T

if you read all this i appreciate u. i still have more to talk about though so hold on.

LETS GO BACK HERE. go to your lil creature guys button above skills

yes i had to go back for screenshots after my player rank increased shhhhh we dont talk about it. ANYWAY. THESE GUYS ARE ALSO IMPORTANT WHO WOULDA THOUGHT!!

i need an ssr draco for my luca so badly . so this guy ups your special attack!! which is Good. obviously. you know that

I DIDNT TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF THE REST OF THEM FUCK. ok just trust me. lionheart (spiky guy in second slot) increases your attack state, and the turtle increases special defense. Yea i want to put a cleo on him for HP but i dont have one rn TT0TT

the order SHOULD be:

cleo (HP), lionheart (attack), then draco (special attack)

think of it like your jewelry order. they both should have hp first!! then attack then special / physical attack

this made me realize i need to go through my cards and rework some things oops.

Hiiii hello it's meee! Aa okay I feel kinda nervous this is my first time EVER requesting (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) but since your requests were open now's my chance (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠) I hope you're doing fine! Ep 17 made me think of.. marriage. MARRIAGE WITH RUI PLEASE I NEED MORE RUI CONTENT. What kind of husband would he be? I saw it on your masterlist that you wrote marriage headcannons for some ghouls, If I can I'd like to request something like that! Also maybe.. Towa? I was brutally rejected by his wedding card before and my heart still aches (⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)

Anyways I hope this is how you do this and writing this actually took me so long it's almost embarrassing (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠) I love seeing your posts randomly pop up when I'm scrolling I love your energy!! Have a good day! (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

SUMMARY: wedding headcanons with towa and rui!!

COMMENTS: AAAA I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW YOU IN MY INBOX!!! HI!!!! <333 i hope this makes u happy after you have written so much for me T0T thank you so much <3

If it was up to Towa, he would have proposed to you the week you met. He knew already that you were his soulmate, his one true love, and he wasn’t about to let you run away! However, a hasty proposal is hardly romantic. He needs the buildup.

Your anniversary is when he proposes. He takes you on a picnic in the middle of a flower meadow. Away from prying eyes, he holds you close as you fly up into the air, only coming down when he can’t contain himself anymore. He pops the question, and knows you will say yes.

You will have to take care of most of the wedding stuff. Towa wants to help, he genuinely does! But if you let him, it’ll be a huge bill to pay, and you’ll be stuck with a bunch of nonsensical things that he picked because he thought it would look good. Spoilers: it would not. :(

The guest list would be relatively small, unless you add to it. Towa is only inviting Haru. If you invite Ren, he’ll be pouty about it, but marriage is all about compromise. Just so long as Wolfsbane stays away from you. He won’t have anyone ruining your special day.

After the two of you have been married, you should allocate at least ten minutes of your morning for cuddle time. Towa wishes you could have more, but the two of you do need to work...there should be a job for cuddling with Dandelion >:T

It’s entirely up to you whether you divulge your work frustrations with Towa. Knowing how he is, there’s no guarantee he won’t walk into your work himself and threaten whoever made his Dandelion sad!

Rui crafts up a delicious breakfast in bed for you! He waits until you’re just waking up to slide into your shared bedroom and present it to you. Of course, the first thing you notice is the ring on top of your favorite breakfast sandwich!

Rui strikes me as the type who would want to be more domestic with you before proposing. He pulls out all the stops, makes sure you won’t get sick of him or the way he lives—tell him that’s impossible! He’s one of the most responsible men at Darkwick!

This man. He insists you sit back and relax. The only time you will lift a finger during wedding planning is if you plead with him to let you do so, or he’s asking for your opinion! (He does that often, do not worry ^_^)

Rui’s guest list would be HUGE. He invites people you haven’t heard of ever and treats them like they’re old friends. You’re marrying a man who has met a lot of people and connected with a myriad of interesting characters. It’ll be a fun day, that’s for sure!

After you’re married, not much changes! Which was the goal Rui had in mind the entire time, if he’s honest with himself. He’ll still look down at the ring and smile, happy that you’ve agreed to be his and his alone. Rui has always been yours. <3

I know having someone as dependable as Rui is nice to have around, but be careful not to take advantage of it! Do the dishes when he cooks, fold the laundry while he washes the windows. He may try to convince you to stop out of habit, but marriage is a team effort. He can’t do everything alone!

auburn!! id like to request any characters you like with a reader thats studying for med school!! the entrance exam could be in a year or maybe less so they need to just 🙏🙏lock in🙏🙏 pulling more all nighters than usual etc etc

who do you think would be really supportive and understanding of the work they put in just for one single day? or who would be an interesting pair with the reader considering all this

can u tell how self indulgent this is lmaooo (i desperately need motivation or im gonna hate myself in 2026)

as always love u and ur work sm mwah

SUMMARY: which ghouls would be the most supportive and understanding of the work you put in just for one single day of studying?

CHARACTERS: Ritsu, Rui, Yuri, Jiro.

COMMENTS: i just finished my finals . my lower back was seizing last night AAAAA i sympathize ^^; i know you're gonna do great though!! thank you for your continuous support i always see u in my notifs <3

Of course, the king of studying for like five hours a day is in the number one spot. Ritsu is making sure every minute of your time is optimized, and that you’re performing at the best you can be.

There will be no all nighters for you under his supervision I’m afraid! Your ass WILL be in bed by 10pm or Ritsu will scold you. He means well, he just wants to make sure you get at LEAST eight hours of sleep. This is non-negotiable.

If you ask politely, he will exchange studying tips with you. As your business partner, he is committed to making sure you reach your truest potential. After all, that’s what his parents did for him...it is the purest expression of love he knows.

Rui is also a major workaholic so he gets it. If you really need it, he’ll use his stigma on you—but only if you really need it! You’re not like him anyway...you actually do need to sleep. The guest rooms are always open to you...

He’s the type of guy to show up in your room in the wee hours with a drink and small snack. Plus, once you’ve finished up your work, he’s insisting that the two of you go on a walk to aid digestion. It would be a shame if you woke up with a stomach ache. :(

He’ll stay with you until you fall asleep—and if you just so happen to fall asleep at your desk, he’ll drape a blanket over your shoulders so you can at least be a little comfortable...if you wake up with a sore back, he’ll do the best he can to remedy it!

Yuri understands exactly what you’re going through...and even though he’ll end up being a HYPOCRITE when he tells you to rest and drink more than caffeinated beverages, he is a great study buddy!!

Yur is really good at compiling quizzes to test your knowledge on the material he knows will be on your exams. He’s been down this road before, studying for Darkwick’s rigorous exams, and if you truly believe he is the best doctor, then you will listen to him, yes?

Yuri is a harsh tutor, but that is only because he expects a lot from you.Yes, he appointed himself as your tutor, but you know how lucky you are. :) Not many can say they have studied under Dr. Isami’s guidance!

Jiro is another one who understands, although he isn’t as intense about it as Yuri is. He’ll answer any questions you have and bring you things if you ask, but other than that he won’t really bug you about it.

Yuri usually likes to listen to music so Jiro will give you some recommendations based on the Doctor’s tastes. He won’t be offended if you dedicated not to listen to him, really it all depends on what works best for you.

Jiro would make you tea!! Mortkranken’s tea is the best for you (obviously) so of course he’ll bring you a cup. In fact, Yuri would more likely than not insist on it! He cannot have those germs who hang around you all the time offering their inferior tea.
