Floyd Leech & Grim ✦ Stage in Playful Land 2.0

This event is by far one of my favorite ones in terms of outfit designs (with Glorious Masquerade) so I decided to post a 2nd version of this illustration I originally posted last December.

Aren't these two cutie pies adorable together ? 🥺

Here I slightly redraw Floyd's face and modify some effects in order to create more contrast. I left Grim that way because he's already all cute and chubby, the way I usually like to draw our favorite tuna eater 🤭

Whenever the Project Sekai movie comes to America (assuming it does anyways):

I kinda want it to be in Japanese with English subtitles. I don't mind reading during a movie. It'd also feel more like the game.

I'm just not ready to hear any of them actually speak English.

Especially Mr. Tsukasa "MY NAME IS TSUKASA TENMA!! I AM A STAR!!....I am world future star....DANCE! AND! SING!!" Tenma.

Wait so is it common knowledge that the name Käärijä is a pun or do some people have no idea?

Basically käärijä means like, a candy wrapper, and y’know, he’s a rapper

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.

this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.

incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

Y’all ever think about how when rouge confronted shadow over the biolizard she asked him “what are you”

Than the scene right after shadow turns around and asks sonic “what are you” after learning he can use chao control

Chaos control, which is like the one common denominator between him and the biolizard

And THATS when sonic says what you see is that you get ?? Just a guy who loves adventure

Cause I do man

ASSMU Behind the Stage Ver.B [Natsuki, Syo, Ai, Nagi, Yamato] - Translation

Please do not repost/retranslate without permission.

Ai: It is interesting that towards the end of the song, when the 18 of us sing together, the position of the five of us splits into two, with me in the center.

Ai: On the right are Natsuki and Yamato, who are large and adult-like, and on the left are Syo and Nagi, who are small and cute.

Nagi: Nagi may be small and cute, but my feelings are the greatest, so I’ll make the audience more excited than anyone else.

Natsuki: Wah! You’re so lovely, Nagi-kun! Not only are you cute but you’re also cool! Gyuu!

Syo: W-Wait a minute!!

Nagi: Woah!

Syo: Wait, Natsuki! Don’t go hugging Nagi! If you’re gonna do that, it should be with the super cool me.

Natsuki: I understand. Of course, Syo-chan is always cute and cool too. Gyuu!

Syo: Argh! I got it, but-! You’re squeezing too hard!!

Nagi: Jeez, what are you two doing? It can’t be helped. Nagi will teach you how to hug more cutely. Come here for a second, Natsuki.

Natsuki: Okay. Is it okay if I just wait here like this?

Nagi: Yes. Lean down a bit more. Like that. Here we go. Gyuu~ Then let’s both look at Syo and wink! How was that?

Natsuki: It makes it look like we get along well, which is very good.

Syo: Wow, that was damn clean.

Yamato: Hey, Natsuki. If you have any energy left over, be my opponent.

Natsuki: Really? That sounds fun too.

Ai: That kind of thing should be done after practice, not now. Incidentally, I'm pretty confident in my own skills though.

Syo: I mean, I'm not losing either. I'm not talking about height or arm wrestling! What's needed for a live performance is spirit! I'm going to put my heart and soul into singing and dancing for my fans.

Yamato: Yeah, exactly. I can’t waste time. I need more stamina to put on the best live performance I can. Should I increase my training? First, 500 push-ups!

Syo: No, that's ridiculous. We finished practicing the basics and now it's time for the dance lesson.

Yamato: Don't be so rigid about something being a little out of order. Let's do it together! 1, 2, 3…

Syo: I haven't said I'm going to do it yet! Ah, damn it!

Yamato: 4, 5, 6…

Syo: 7, 8, 9, 10

Ai: Okay. I'll leave the push-ups to you two. Shall the rest of us go over the moves again?

Natsuki: Yes! That’s right, Nagi-kun. How about we try to incorporate a moment of interaction with the fans like we did just now in the song?

Nagi: That might be good. Let’s see…

Syo: (out of breath) Hey, don't just leave me like this, do something about it!!

Ai: (sigh) It can’t be helped… Yamato! Let's stop that for now. Since we're all here, let's all review the choreography together so that we're all in sync.

Yamato: Now that you mention it, you’re right. Got it.

Syo: Thank god! I'm so glad Ai’s here.

Natsuki: Ai-chan is our center not only in that part of the choreography but also figuratively.

Nagi: I guess I can kinda see it.

Yamato: Natsuki, that was a good line!

Syo: I feel like having Ai in the group gives it a nice balance. Let the five of us create a new harmony.

Ai: I think I understand what everyone is trying to say. Well, thank you. Now then, I think we should get back to the lesson. After this, Syo and Yamato will do push-ups. Let's start again from the beginning.

Yamato: Sounds good. It’s the perfect schedule.

Syo: Let’s do that. I’ll do my best!

Natsuki: Then I'd like to join in on the push-ups too.

can't believe the americans are mocking "sixth form" when freshman, sophomore, junior and senior makes NO INTUITIVE SENSE

[strawberryshortpace]

I don’t know what theater kid needs to hear it, but making a mistake (or multiple) on stage is not the end of the world and you don’t suck for it

Brought to you by the fact that today I saw Jeremy Jordan drop something on stage, break character mid song to go ‘woops’, and stumble over multiple lines in an official Broadway Production

I still think "my mind is a safe and if I keep it, then we all get rich. my body is an orphanage we take everyone in" is one of the rawest most fucked up lyrics pete has ever written that then got put into a song.

like srsly 27 is such a fucked up song, specially if you put it in the context of when folie came out

[bananafishdepression]

Life is so unfair there are so many shitty shows out there with a dub and Banana Fish never got one and its been 6 years now

Spent dinner thinking about what Ianthe's mindscape activities mean - again, this is all pretty surface level, but it's good to get it written down!

Ianthe begins the game lying on a chaise longue, drinking wine while Palamedes sits on a coffin. They may be intellectual equals, but he's on death's door, while she's projecting louche confidence.

For question 2, we have a court scene, with Palamedes as the prosecutor. He's on the offensive, broaching the topic of her original sin - the murder of Naberius Tern. This ends as soon as she answers the question; the court is cleared away with a clap of her hands. He can question her as much as he likes; she's not guilty. (I'm not sure what the Ace Attorney reference symbolises; it could be there for fun.)

For the third question, Ianthe starts fencing with a serious of useless opponents, dispatching each with ease. Obviously, the subject matter is relevant; she's dismissing Gideon, as a fencer and as a thinker. She's also starting to get active, rather than sitting passively; the mental duel is heating up, but she still sees herself as holding a dominant position. It's also a reminder of how she ran through Cam just a moment before, meant to throw Palamedes off guard.

For the final question - the one that hits home and seals the game - Ianthe and Palamedes play cards. More importantly, she's reduced to sitting on a coffin; she no longer gets to lounge. This is now a contest of equals, and unlike the first question, seems to have stakes.

I'm assuming through all of this that what's taking place isn't a conscious choice by Ianthe; that seems pretty clear given the loss of her couch and her unsteady card play, as well as the whole ending of the story.

Kunikida is treating Dazai to ramen today for his birthday, but he sure is late, huh? Was he caught up with something?
