was anyone going to tell me that one of the songs on the official soundtrack is an arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture and that it plays not only during Chen Nan and Zhuang Shuai's R+J performance but also during the Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang hostage exchange scene, or was I going to have to find that out myself by translating the ost titles that weren't in English on a whim

Finally finished with these two! Which is ironic since they were the first ones I drew lol. You can find Tori's old ref here!

Some more info on them under the cut:

As much as he doesn't want to acknowledge it, its pretty much an open secret to everyone that knows of him that Kris is the estranged son of Krampus. From a young age he was opposed to following in his fathers footsteps, and for years tried his best to fight against it. Once he hit high school, he struck up a deal with his dad that he would pick up the mantle once he graduated. Kris agreed and promptly dropped out just shy of his graduation date. And he's been living on his own ever since.

He works at a gas station near Monster High, and is well liked by the students for his surprisingly good advice and tendency to turn a blind eye towards obviously fake IDs. His apartment is near New Salem University where he spends a lot of his free time hanging out with his buddies from school, one of them being Luci Ferguson, the heir of hell. The two go way back, they're dad's being close friends. As it stands Kris is cruising through life without much of a care in the world, or so it seems. Deep down he regrets his decision to cut his education short, and feels his life is pretty directionless.

Tori is a Zodiac Monster, a rich and exclusive community of monsters who tend to only congregate amongst themselves. While being a Zodiac monster may have meant something long long ago, nowadays it's little more than a title, one that denotes a lot of social power. That pressure, as well as all the drama and critiques that come with living in such a tight-knit social circle, leads to Tori wanting an out, or at least a break from the Zodiac Monster lifestyle. She finds her chance once it's time for her to go to college.

While Tori is very sweet and tries her best to be considerate of others, she's also somewhat naive and socially awkward. She has a tendency to say very out of touch things, not immediately recognizing that not everyone grew up as wealthy and privileged as she did. Regardless she's very open-minded and enjoys hearing all sorts of different perspectives. She;s incredibly grateful when Fangel, Demonique, and Luci take her under their wings, especially since she's starting completely new in terms of making friends. It doesn't take long for her to meet Kris and become fascinated (and even somewhat enamored) by his sloppiness and carefree lifestyle.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎my submission for "future story snippet" 🤠

out-of-order screenshots ... i just finished a new pose for renzo carrying said luggage down her treacherous, narrow, spiral staircase (something almost euphemistic-sounding about that, but i digress); i have decided i prefer to turn pose items into buy objects rather than cas accessories ?? feels simpler idk.

plus, unrevised prose ... imagine: it's 1985, your job fucking sucks, but you get to spend every evening partying on the sunset strip at its peak. after i started writing, i also realized that donna summer's absolute bop "sunset people" came out in 1979, which coincides neatly with baby renzo arriving in hollywood. you didn't even need an id to get into the clubs and hit the bars ...

thank you for the tag (& the lovely, vivid snippets you shared) @thebramblewood ♥️ i haven't the slightest as to who's been tagged yet and who hasn't, so i picked 5 random people from the top of my activity feed, lmao: @simdolviaroyals @warwickroyals @igglemouse @the-lancasters @honeyjars-sims, & anyone who hasn't done it but wants to. tag me so i can see !

Who in the cast of characters has lost family members to the beast?

Half of them:

-Poppypaw and Fossilpaw have lost both of their parents

-Mistypaw has lost both of his parents

-Coldpaw has lost her mom and two littermates

-Murkpaw has lost one of her dads

Thornpaw, Rustypaw, Honeypaw, Sunpaw, and Smallpaw haven't lost any family to the beast so far*, though everyone has lost friends and mentors

(* Disclaimer: this will likely be tweaked some as I fill out the background cast)

YOU MOTHERFUCKER !!! 😾

[elusivish]

Ngl when I first saw link click I thought all the characters (mostly Lu Guang) were on drugs/severely sleep deprived because of how tired their eyes looked.

[muninnhuginn]

thought I'd compile a list of some of the current dangling threads we have in link click. specifically, going to ignore the ones that others have gone into detail exploring and just bring up the ones that haven't gotten as much attention but will almost certainly be relevant.

the missing files on the seventh victim of the serial murders from season one. emma was noted as 'victim one' in the files and there were eight in total. if these killings were done by red eyes then all we know of the victim profiles is that they're not seen to be 'innocent' in the culprit's eyes (ofc, we can only speculate what that means, but I'm currently gunning on it being some form of bystander to crime just going by themes*/what we know of emma/the fact the police struggled to find a uniting motive) and there's no set age/gender being specifically targeted. the killer's methods are said to be 'meticulous' (big qian jin vibes there ngl even if the motive part of it doesn't seem to obviously align). anyway, missing files implies an inside job and timing-wise it's unclear if that means qian jin or if chen bin was somehow involved. chen bin apparently was the last to handle the files before passing them to xiao li, but at the same time he doesn't react in a particularly guilty manner when xiao li asks of the missing file. meanwhile, qian jin would have left the force before these killings started but I'm sure he still had plenty of connections left in the force. either way, the seventh victim has been hidden for a reason. knowing what was in that file should lead to a breakthrough of some sort.

liu min's younger brother mentioned in the first two episodes of season two. said to be the more favoured of the two siblings and hasn't yet officially entered the game, but just from law of conservation of detail I think he is going to be a player because why even bring him up when liu min is already dead.

li tianxi's mutism and subsequent abilities of speech as a teenager. the mutism and later explanation are both such deliberate details to include. I don't know for sure what the answer is, but I do think the idea of tianchen or someone else possessing tianxi is a possibility given we know that possession overrides certain physical traits. cxs even explicitly confirmed that this would include mutism when he spoke as tianxi in his dive. it could also be that tianchen is literally dressed as tianxi and is using the mask to help disguise this fact. or tianxi could be tianxi. but whatever the case, I do think the mutism is a relevant point to return to. (also, in s2e4 it looks like the sibling with the messy fringe (tianchen?) doesn't speak. unsure if this is to hide that there were multiples and we just didn't hear the speech but ig it does add to the option that tianchen and tianxi have swapped bodies entirely)

fountain boy. I know I said I'd avoid the stuff that's already been explored but this is such an obvious thing that *will* come back. my intuition says that the fact they picked such an adult sounding voice actor means the character hasn't yet been formally introduced and will appear later (and so opens up the possibilities of hat guy/liu min's brother etc) but that's purely on a meta level. within the story itself it could be almost any male character sans cheng xiaoshi.

Liu Min's phone, taken by Li Tianchen(? - going by the fringe but not confident of this) without Qian Jin's oversight. Does this mean Tianxi is working with Qian Jin whilst Tianchen is double-crossing? Either way, these three are not all in it together. They have some shared motives but ultimately their own agendas.

*themes here meaning qiao ling's big regret re: doudou was that she saw someone leave with him and said nothing. emma's only 'crime' was that she knew of the financial irregularities but didn't speak up. li tianchen saying about people pretending to be nice but secretly are jerks are the worst. my other idea is 'people the law won't punish' because qian jin's backstory (vigilante justice type deal also kinda fitting the themes) especially as the murderer who killed his wife later 'committed suicide' and it was mentioned that several of the meticulous killings were initially mistaken for suicides. anyway, I'll fully admit I'm running on vibes for this as speculation and am fully open to there being another theme tying together the victims.

@purehoneybees gets his own tarot starter featuring kirby card: upside judgement

"please. don't do this." it had been a normal day between the two, where they could be hanging out at one of their apartments or somewhere else and it all blends together. but then he had said that and kirby felt rooted to the spot, unable to do or say anything else besides those four words. her mind was reeling. it felt like a freight train had smacked into her, all the signs and meanings and everything coming forward suddenly. it was like it all clicked, yet she couldn't find it in herself to be happy. it felt more like the rug had been pulled out from under her and what she had considered her safe haven, her normalcy, had been replaced with doubt and fear. "i ... we're so good at friends," she attempted to reason, "why did you have to change that?" because the scariest part of all wasn't their admission of feelings, no. it was the fear that she felt the same way in return.
