In a turn of events I should have expected, this post, the one about characters getting transformation items from other seasons, has me thinking about a Doki Doki/Hirogaru crossover.

Part of it is because of the whole 'Regina getting a Sky Mirage' thing, but I also think that Sora, a hero in training, and the Doki Doki Precure, who basically became superheroes at the end of their season would be a fun dynamic.

Actually, I can think of a few fun dynamics. Tsubasa finds out Alice can fly a plane and immediately starts asking anything and everything he can about it.

Baby bonding with Ellee and Ai, or maybe Ellee sees the way Aguri grows up when she transforms and is like "*gasp* She's just like me!" and starts following her around.

Plot wise, I was thinking that some unseen general from the Selfish Kingdom is gathering up residual Undergu Energy and using it to turn people into powered up Jikochuu/Ranborg hybrids to create a Neo-Selfish Kingdom. New Villain would end up becoming Neo-King Selfish.

Maybe Regina and Sora butt heads a bit? I feel like post-series Regina would be well-meaning but a little thoughtless sometimes. Maybe she'd say or do something that rubbed Sora the wrong way? idk

Maybe New Villain sees that tension and tries to exploit it? Either in a bid to break up both teams or try and get Regina to join them? Again, idk. Whatever the case, they would end up reconciling and kick some butt.

Regina gets a Sky Mirage near the final battle! I like to think that while everyone works together to take down Neo-King Selfish, Regina, Sky, and Heart would be the ones to finish it.

Miscellaneous tidbits!

Aguri absolutely gushes over Mashiro's cloud bread

Alice and Sora spar! It's nothing too serious, but it ends with Sora teaching Alice the Sky Land Divine Fist.

Ageha sees Rikka and Mana's whole thing and decides to help Rikka shoot her shot

I'm unsure of what Regina's Cure name would be. I'm tempted to just go with Cure Joker, but I also want something that could fit with both teams, since she gets her transformation item from the SkyPre

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

My dad raises grass-fed beef cattle and I help him sell it, mainly by maintaining an online presence. For a while, I kept having the most ridiculous conversations with people who I assume were marketing students. I didn't want to be rude so I'd try to let them down gently but this one guy just kept insisting that with his magical marketing skills he could grow our business.

What he could not seem to comprehend is that we could not grow our business, at least not without significant time and monetary investment. Cows take two years from pregnancy to the size that you can sell. If we buy adult cows, our margins become razor thin or even negative. Even if we somehow could acquire some cows, our barn and hay fields are already near maximum capacity. Renting another field would be relatively easy, building a bigger barn not so much.

Cows are living animals, they aren't widgets that can be produced infinitely. Besides that, many businesses inherently cannot grow, because if they do they'll become something else. The delicious bakery down the street cannot produce much more than they do, if they began mass marketing and production they'd eventually be selling the equivalent of Twinkies. We grow grass-fed, organic beef, if we expanded how long would that last? Eventually we'd become the very factor farms that we hate. Some things can only ever be made on a small scale and they are usually the best things.

But also, what are they teaching them at marketing school and how is it so disconnected from reality?

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."
