Theatrics/Engeki lyrics

Translating the game version for fun because I love emotionally charged songs

Once upon a time someone said,

"Everyone has a role to play.

Anything that was scarce is shared

And replenished so everyone can live."

That means that this blank of mine

Should have someone to fill it for me

Hopefully that person heard me loud and clear

A certain someone said to another,

"Your role is to do this," they said.

"These words are used out of love",

"That is how everyone lives," they said.

That happy face made me happy too

So I tried my hardest to perform my role

So hard, I tried, that I even forgot to breathe

At the garbage dump in the alleyway,

Is a frivolously-tossed child's backpack

When did this habit of worrying about those around me even

when I smile start again?

If I could only get a single wish granted

Then I wish to put an end to all of this-

All these, utterly screwed up theatrics!

I have lived my whole life the wrong way all along

Even if this collar is taken off now,

Where in the world can I even go from here?

All I wanted was to have a clear, defined self

Is this the price I have to pay for it, O' God?

Everything about this is just too cruel!

I've had enough of this so hurry up

And end it already

[ilikesaladforks]

idk if I've posted this one before but it is definitely a piece I am still very happy with :D I've scanned in a lot of traditional pieces over the last few weeks so I will be more active from now on!!!

feral urge to chew on showtime ruler tsukaruis like a chew toy

hey guys just here to say that the new online safety act in the uk has blocked the suicide hotline

this is extremely problematic for very obvious reasons and i have no idea what the fuck this country is fucking coming to

childline has also been restricted

if you're a uk citizen and still haven't signed the petition please do so

even if you're not a uk citizen please reblog to spread the word !!!!!

this isn't safety, it's censorship

Everyone: Please please please don't write your books in Google Docs. Frankly don't use Google Drive for personal stuff.

Their terms of service say they take down stuff like content related to terrorism and trafficking, but this Google Sheet was literally a list of movies I'd watched this year and books I'd read.

[ilikesaladforks]

I hate to go through this all over again. Last night, Itch.io, one of the most popular platforms for hosting queer and adult independent media, went through a large-scale crackdown on adult content.

This was primarily aimed at games, but novels and comics were hit in the process. Most adult content has been de-listed from the site's search, and some creators were banned without warning. Any funds banned creators have not been paid are currently being withheld by Itch.io.

This crackdown was done, as it always is, because of payment processors like Mastercard and Visa threatening to pull their services.

The payment processors caved to an influence campaign by Australian extremist anti-pornography group Collective Shout, who have been inundating Visa and Mastercard with calls to force video game platforms to stop hosting adult content - which, of course, includes anything queer.

Collective Shout claim to have sent in 1000 emails to get this result, but there are a WAY more than a thousand of us. We need as many people as possible to make as much noise as we can!

Below the cut are numbers and scripts, all you need to do is follow the step by step guide.

Customer Complaint Dept, This message is to lodge an official complaint about the ongoing rampant restrictions your company has placed on legal sales made by legitimate businesses. These restrictions are not only counter to the concept of freedom of speech and expression, but they harm consumers, businesses, and they harm your company’s bottom line. The following actions are absolutely necessary to protect the freedoms of your client base and the sustainability of legitimate business practices: 1. Remove from your Terms of Service any mention barring the use of your service for sale and purchase of legal products. 2. Contact Steam (Valve), Itch.io, and any other company you have previously put pressure on to retract your content restrictions. Put in place protections to prevent such restrictions from being put in place in the future without ample warning and time to contest them. If these changes aren't made then I, along with many others will be forced to seek other options for processing payments. Sincerely, A Concerned Customer

OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO

Sign this petition from the ACLU:

Americans - contact your representatives about payment processors acting as censors! You can find your reps’ contact information on 5calls.org.

Script, from here:

Hello Representative/Senator [LAST NAME], -or- Hello office of Representative/Senator [LAST NAME], My name is [YOUR FIRST NAME/SCREEN NAME] and I am one of your constituents. I am calling today to express my concerns with technological censorship. Legal and legitimate adult entertainment is being banned in this country. These bans are not by legislators, but by payment processors like Mastercard and Visa. Mastercard and Visa are improperly creating legislation online through their user and merchant policies. They are banning creator and user access to content that is legal and legitimate. They are inciting fear and panic to encourage censorship. Please take a stand against this impermissible censorship. This is a direct attack on an adult's right to legal content. No one but the legislative branch should be allowed to create legislation. Please support the Federal Trade Commission in their stand against technological censorship to protect the first amendment. Thank you for taking the time to listen today.

2025 birthday wishes for a special boy part 2

part 1

Honami: Happy birthday, Kamishiro-san. This isn't much, but if this could somehow make up for the help you kindly provided me with the read-aloud session, then it would make me very happy.

Tsukasa: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUI!!! Alright, that'll do for a pre-show chant! I have to be the first to wish him once I go to school!!!

Emu: Happy wonderhoi birthday~! I'll wish Rui-kun loads and loads of happy birthdays today so that he can smile all sparkly twinkly!

Nene: I waited in front of Rui's house so that I could wish him a happy birthday and ended up barely making it in time for school...

Rui: There was ramune on my desk when I came to school today. Even the class is staging sleek surprises for me.

[ilikesaladforks]

2025 birthday wishes for a special boy part 1

part 2

characters who didn't have stuff to say: saki, shiho, ichika, kanade, haruka

Minori: Emu-chan was practising for something. Is it for Kamishiro-san's birthday celebration? Oooh, I'm so curious...!

Airi: Happy birthday, Kamishiro-kun! Are you celebrating today with the rest? Make sure you enjoy it to its fullest!

Shizuku: Happy birthday! I'm looking forward to the shows you create from here on out, Kamishiro-san.

Kohane: Happy birthday, Kamishiro-san! I'll be sending the birthday wishes I recorded with the team to you soon!

An: It's Kamishiro-senpai's birthday? Parties and stuff with him sound like a blast, so I'll probably ask him about what he did today next time.

Akito: A message for Kamishiro-senpai? Good that it's your birthday and all, but cool off on the explosions, man.

Touya: Happy birthday. I too, hope that you will have a fulfilling year ahead, senpai.

Mafuyu: I'm sure that it will become an absolutely lively birthday once all of Wonderlands x Showtime's members assemble.

Ena: Kamishiro-san's birthday is today... I guess I'll ask Mizuki to pass him my birthday wishes on my behalf. He did help me out a ton, after all.

Mizuki: Ah, isn't it Rui's birthday today? Since I'm in school I should go and wish him a great one~

college!showtime ruler!tsukasa x rui

ideas that cycle through my head on a unicycle for the college but they play proseka au for officer!tsukasa and advisor!rui

rui is a whale who rolls exclusively for tsukasa while tsukasa is an f2p player who rolls exclusively for rui

tsukasa has the luck of god and gets a ton of 4 stars which he doesn't mind personally but rui hates it whenever he gets a new tsukasa off rate up

that being said they both have 0 luck when it comes to rolling for their respective rate up boys and the difference is that rui forces tsukasa home with the 300 pity while tsukasa stops when he runs out of gems and just rolls whenever there's a rerun instead. rui has problems.

rui's in game name was おのれ天馬 (curse you tenma) but he felt bad when tsukasa saw it and made a face so he changed it to おのれ天馬司

because of that he's a legend in the game among tsukasa fans because he keeps tiering for tsukasa events while still keeping that name and he goes on discord/nightcord regularly to recruit help for tiering

tsukasa and rui are both in their 2nd or 3rd year in college idk. rui dodged tsukasa for 1 year before coming to terms with the fact that he's gay for tsukasa

tsukasa probably does a political science-ish major (officer! vibes)? idk. with a minor in theatre studies. rui does some kind of engineering probably with a minor in tsukasa's major. they rarely see each other in school

rui has a platypus plushie that he hugs to sleep

tsukasa plays up to expert, rui plays the game with 4 fingers like he's playing a piano so he can clear everything including appends

they help each other clear songs occasionally (tsukasa clears the easier difficulties that rui is too lazy to try and rui clears the master difficulties for tsukasa)

rui plays on both his phone and tablet

rui doesn't really go to classes because he's smart and studies everything/already knew it beforehand so he mostly spends his time gaming dying or doing part time teaching (both on and off campus)

rui is on a scholarship and does the bare minimum for attendance to keep the scholarship (he already knows his grades are good enough)

tsukasa and rui are in different dorm rooms. tsukasa is trying to change that for next year though

nene and emu are friends from tsukasa's classes (they have the same major and minor)

rui was a jealous cat because he kept seeing nene emu and tsukasa hang out and nene and emu kind of realised it pretty quickly since he always looks angry while staring at them from afar and he's not exactly subtle

rui writes thesis papers and invents stuff on the side so he's unfortunately a favourite even if he has abysmal attendance to show for it

[ilikesaladforks]

:( cough

Even if the gods declared useless

Realising there's no such thing as a fruit that ripens instantly,

Will also not be shown before you

Q-ing some more old drawings rn, and while looking through my photos, I FOUND THIS. I THOUGHT I LOST IT.

I posted this before on my main blog, but this is still one of my absolute faves. And since my last permafrostshipping post did well,,, here. More of them.
