Lesbian Visual Novel 'Please Be Happy' Releases on PC
On November 21, Sekai Project and Studio Élan released their newest Yuri visual novel, Please Be Happy for PC/Mac on Steam and itch.io. Linux releases for the game are planned to release shortly, with a home console release coming in the first half of 2023.
Tumblr media
The developer describes the game:
Born as a fox in the forest of Korea, Miho carries with her the memory of a traveler who showed her kindness and spoke of home. Now more human than fox, Miho has spent a long, long time searching for her person. She arrives by airship to Wellington, one of the jewels of the floating island of New Zealand. Despite her years spent observing humans, she still has a lot to learn about their culture and society. She's made a living so far as a thief, her heightened senses allowing her to easily take advantage of people. She's also seen a lot of the worst of what mankind has to offer. It's only after meeting Juliet, the owner of a small library, and Aspen, an aspiring novelist, that Miho starts to understand what kindness is, and that there's more than just the bad stuff when it comes to people.
Tumblr media
Please Be Happy features two different romantic routes, each with two happy endings. The game is fully voice-acted in English and contains over 220,000 words.
It is the first full game developed by Studio Élan since 2019's acclaimed visual novel Heart of the Woods. Adirosa, who designed the user interface for Heart of the Woods, co-writes and directs Please Be Happy and serves as an assistant character artist alongside lead artist Kobuta. Additional staff includes:
Josh Kaplan - Writer
Theo Minute - Programmer and Assistant Artist
Lunaterra - Editor
Suriko - Editor
Arimia - Social Media and PR Manager
The game features English voice acting directed by Wyatt "Syon Santeria" Abernathie. The game stars Dottovu as Miho, Anna Chloe Moorey as Aspen, and Shara Kirby as Juliet. Additional voice actors include:
Elissa Park
June Yoon
Felicia Valenti
Jill Harris
Molly Zhang
Natalie Van Sistine, who also served as Please Be Happy's audio engineer
Wyatt Abernathie

So Miss Scarlet & The Duke is trying to pull a Sanditon (ie replace the main male lead with someone new). But just because it worked once, it doesn't mean it will again. See, there are four reasons why I think it worked for Sanditon but won't for MSTD.
Sidney Parker was only in one season of Sanditon before Theo James decided not to turn. Whereas, Inspector Wellington was in four of MSTD.
The writers of Sanditon wrote Sidney out of the story by killing him off. Wellington, however, (as I understand it) is still alive in the story. So why would the audience be rooting for Miss Scarlet to find happiness with someone else after rooting for her and William for four years?
A good number of fans didn't even like Sidney in the first place. We found him to be a jerk who treated Charlotte terribly. William, on the other hand, is likeable and we love seeing his interactions with Eliza.
Sidney Parker's name wasn't in the show's title. Yes, I know they're changing Miss Scarlet & the Duke to just Miss Scarlet, but William's name (nickname, whatever) was in the title of the show for 4 seasons! The show wasn't just about Eliza! It was about him too!

What is Nova's Dad's name? Also, are there full names for everyone in HFSH?
Officially as I wrote on my refsheet, his name is Jik-Jak. However I'm also a bit dumb and forgetful so sometimes I'll spell it in a multitude of ways like Jikjak, Jik Jak, Jik-jak, etc etc.
Not everyone in Here For Sweethearts has a full name, only specific characters do. I usually don't give my characters full names until I need them to have one LOL.
List of HFSH characters with full names and what those names are:
Jik-Jak McBride
Vanilla "Nova" McBride
Theodore "Theo" Wellington
Mitzi Tetra
Olivine "Ollie" Ridley
Crowven Corvuson
Vasilis Deerlington
Twyla Minerva Sophio
Mary Anta
Reginald "Reggie" Tetra
Jaxter Frost

I got into Bridgerton this past weekend because as with so many things, I don't like something until it's been taste-tested by so many people around me that I can infer it will match my tastes as well.
And then I got this idea: Bridgerton (mainly the TV series) happens around the same time as the Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell.
Think of it! We have the socialite families prancing around London in 1815. We have a scandalous brought-up-from-the-ranks-and-still-rising military officer who is not only Not of the Gentry but also Good at His Job!
Richard Sharpe meets the Regent on separate occasions (is even recognized in the Regent's letters). He meets Lord Wellington several times. He visits London a few times and is seen at some balls where his wife is swanning around with Lord John Rossendale! How can Lady Whistledown NOT speak of this?
Anyways, while the written worlds of the Bridgertons and the Sharpes seem vastly different, I enjoy the idea of them being at the edges or even in the Gantt Chart of each other's worlds.
(especially since Eloise Bridgerton was once intrigued by Theo Sharpe! Coincidence? Most certainly, but where's the fun in that)

Haunting Reads for your TBR 👻
It's spooky season where I'm at, which means that the weather is getting crispy and cold, the leaves are changing colors, and I suddenly have a craving for apple cider donuts. What is also means is that my usual readings habits are upended -- I'm a coward! -- and I feel like maybe I should take a gander at a spooky read or two. Is there anything on your TBR that's spooky? Here's what's on my list for this month:
If I Have to Be Haunted by Miranda Sun
Cemetery Boys meets Legendborn in this thrillingly romantic, irresistibly fun YA contemporary fantasy debut following a teenage Chinese American ghost speaker who (reluctantly) makes a deal to raise her nemesis from the dead. Cara Tang doesn’t want to be haunted.
Look, the dead have issues, and Cara has enough of her own. Her overbearing mother insists she be the “perfect” Chinese American daughter—which means suppressing her ghost-speaking powers—and she keeps getting into fights with Zacharias Coleson, the local golden boy whose smirk makes her want to set things on fire. Then she stumbles across Zach’s dead body in the woods. He’s even more infuriating as a ghost, but Cara’s the only one who can see him—and save him.
Agreeing to resurrect him puts her at odds with her mother, draws her into a dangerous liminal world of monsters and magic—and worse, leaves her stuck with Zach. Yet as she and Zach grow closer, forced to depend on each other to survive, Cara finds the most terrifying thing is that she might not hate him so much after all. Maybe this is why her mother warned her about ghosts.
Delightful and compulsively readable, this contemporary fantasy has something for every reader: a snarky voice, a magnetic enemies-to-lovers romance, and a spirited adventure through a magical, unpredictable world hidden within our own.
All These Sunken Souls: A Black Horror Anthology edited by Circe Moskowitz
The stories in All These Sunken Souls explore horror through a blend of genres—from the thoughtful to the terrifying—as the reader wanders farther and farther from reality.
By delivering a multitude of profound nightmares, this YA horror anthology by established and debut authors contains something for every horror fan—and for anyone who dares to open these pages. From haunted Victorian mansions, temporal monster-infested asylums, ravaging zombie apocalypses, to southern gothic hoodoo practitioners, the anthology features stories from Kalynn Bayron, Donyae Coles, Ryan Douglass, Sami Ellis, Brent Lambert, Ashia Monet, Circe Moskowitz, Joel Rochester, Liselle Sambury, and Joelle Wellington.
All These Sunken Souls tackles a genre that historically has tokenized and exploited Black characters and opens discussion on how horror translates into the current time we live in.
Saint Juniper's Folly by Alex Crespo
Cemetery Boys meets The Haunting of Bly Manor in this spellbinding debut! Alex Crespo’s queer haunted house mystery is equal parts spine-tingling thrills, a celebration of found family, and must-read for paranormal romance fans. For Jaime, returning to the tiny Vermont town of Saint Juniper means returning to a past he’s spent eight years trying to forget. After shuttling between foster homes, he hopes he can make something out of this fresh start. But every gossip in town already knows his business, and with reminders of his past everywhere, he seeks out solitude into the nearby woods, called Saint Juniper’s Folly, and does not return. For Theo, Saint Juniper means being stuck. He knows there’s more out there, but he’s scared to go find it. His senior year is going to be like all the rest, dull and claustrophobic. That is until he wanders into the Folly and stumbles on a haunted house with an acerbic yet handsome boy stuck—as in physically stuck—inside. For Taylor, Saint Juniper is a mystery. The surrounding woods speak to her, while she tries—and fails—to practice the magic her dad banned from the house after her mother died. Taylor can’t seem break out of her spiral of grief, until a wide-eyed teenager barges into her life, rambling on about a haunted house, a trapped boy, and ghosts. He needs a witch. The Folly and its ghosts will bring these three teenagers together. But they will each have to face their own internal struggles in order to forge a bond strong enough to escape the Folly’s shadows.

The Heiress of Misfortune - chapter one
Pairing: blackfem!OC Josephine Wellington & Sherlock Holmes & John Watson 
Rating: teen
Word Count: 2.4k 
Summary: Josie has the honeymoon from hell. Sherlock gets his first case in months. 
A/N: ..and we’re off! hope you all like this. Credit to the gif maker.  
Tumblr media
The blood rushing through Josie’s ears roared louder than the ocean that surrounded the cruise liner. She attempts to steady her breathing, clasping her shaking hands together. This isn’t how honeymoons are supposed to go. She was supposed to be laughing with her head thrown back, hand over her heart, tears in her eyes over something Theo whispers in her ear. Dodging his roaming hands during dinner when he slips it under the table. Sneaky frenzied kisses within the shadows of the corridors.
Theo.
Josie couldn’t stomach removing the pillow from over his face. The once crisp white sheet was now soaked in a crimson red and Josie didn’t know what to do. Should she check his pulse? No, that was stupid seeing as at least a quarter of his blood covered the bed and the floor. At least she should throw a blanket over his body as a sign of decency. If only she could get her feet to move.
Slowly stepping out of her boots, Josie tiptoes over to the bed, choking back bile that threatened to spill from her throat.
“I’m so sorry, Theo.” she sobs, carefully taking the discarded towel off the edge of their bed and placing it over his body.
The door to their suite suddenly opens, a maid bursting through with new linens in her hands. Josie remembers that earlier that morning she requested newer linens because Theo is a klutz who can barely hold his wine sometimes. She forgot that she told the young woman, Rita, that she and Theo would likely be out enjoying last minute activities so she could just come in and drop them off. Bad idea on Josie’s part.
The woman's screams echoed throughout the entire suite, clean sheets forgotten as they tumbled from her hands.
“Rita, please, get some help!” Josephine shouts.
The maid stumbles backward before darting down the hallway.  
That was all Josie could remember. She could barely recount the rest of her trip, pulling into the harbor or the swarm of police that gathered her up and carried her off of the ship.
In just a span of a week, Josephine Wellington had become a bride and a widow.
. . . . . . . .
The holding cell wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t cold and damp. Josie pulls her cloak around her tighter, adjusting the hood to cover her face more securely.
It didn’t matter how many times Josie recounted the tale of what happened, Scotland Yard wouldn’t hear of such a thing. All they knew was that Josie was found in the room with Theo’s body, covered in his blood, and no one else saw a thing.
Josie looks down at her hand, the wedding ring still snug on her finger. It was the only thing that truly felt familiar during this particular time. She remembers how bashful Theo became as they strolled the park after a family dinner, her hand tucked in the crook of his elbow.
“Close your eyes” he whispered in her ear, halting their casual walk. Josie protests but with enough prodding, she acquiesces.
“Ok, now, turn around.”
She does as she’s told, face washed over in shock as she observes Theo on one knee. Her heart pounded, mouth gone dry. This can’t be happening.
“Theo Callahan whatever it is that you’re doing, I beg of you to get up.”
Theo smirks, readjusting his position. “You’ve managed to capture my heart, my spirits, my wallet.” It was true, Theo did not care about money. Whatever Josie wanted, all she had to do was ask.
“I can’t imagine the rest of my days without you by my side. I want to experience life with you forever. Josephine Alexandra Wellington, will you do me a great honor and marry me?”
Theo pulls a box out of his coat pocket, opening it up to reveal the most gorgeous diamond ring. The band was gold, engravings of my beloved inscribed on the inside. He waits expectantly.
“Theo, I-”
“Oi!”
Josie snaps out of her daydream, head turning toward the main gate of the jail yard. An office comes strolling towards her, shoulders pulled back. If his face matched his cocky attitude, Josie might’ve paid him more attention. He points a stubby finger at her.
“Alright, missy. Your bail has been posted, looks like you’re outta here.”
Josie sighs heavily, picking up her skirts and following the man over to the gates, ignoring the mocking and sneering looks from the men around her.
Josie feels a sense of hope filling her chest, excited at the prospect of seeing a familiar face. The budding smile drops as she’s escorted out, two men awaiting her. None of which were her father or uncles. She would’ve even accepted an associate of the family.
“Mr. Holmes, Doctor.” The man snorts, hocking before spitting in the grass nearby.
The two men nod at the officer before looking back at Josie. She balls her hands into fists, preparing for the worst outcome.
“Who are you?”
The mustached man smiles, the other one does not.
“Justice.”
. . . . . . . .
The carriage ride proved to be even less insightful than the initial meeting, Holmes and Watson sniping at each other constantly.
The carriage pulls to the right and Sherlock stares at Watson.
“Why are we not going home?”
“We are going home. We’re going to my home. Your place is a mess.”
Sherlock turns up his nose, lounging back in his seat like a petulant child. “Did the nanny tell you that?”
John cocks his head. “Mrs. Hudson is concerned about you, is all. You’ve barely left the flat in months.”
“Yes, well, there’s nothing of importance to me out here or on earth, entirely.”
“Such a drama queen.”
John turns to Josie. “My apologies, Mrs. Wellington. I’m John Watson and this here is my partner, Sherlock Holmes.”
Gears start to turn in Josie’s head. “Oh, I’ve heard of you before. You solved that Blackwood case. Nasty business that was, I heard.”
“Partners?” Sherlock grumbles.
This was off to a great start.
. . . . . . . .
John swings the door open to his house, wobbling over to the coat rack. “Honey, I’m home!”
The swishing of skirts and clicking of heels brings a wide smile to John and a raised eyebrow followed by a slight scowl from Sherlock.
A gorgeous woman appears, dressed in the finest gown Josie had ever seen. It didn’t resemble anything that she would normally procure from the market. Her brown skin glowed in the light, tight coils unbothered and free to move about as they please. Josie didn’t even realize her jaw had dropped a little until Sherlock pushed her mouth closed with his index finger.
The lady’s brown eyes narrow in amusement, taking in Josie’s unkemptness and Sherlock’s standoffish demeanor.
“John, what have I told you about bringing in strays?”
Her voice was strong and melodic, a strange twang present that Josie had never heard before.
John makes his way over to her, pulling her in by the waist and pecking her lips. “Come now, darling, don’t be so crass. May I introduce you to Josephine Wellington.” he gestures to Josie.
“I wasn’t referring to her, my love, I was referring to that.”
Sherlock turns his nose up, tossing his coat carelessly onto an arm chair and strolling over to Watson's wife. He circles around her like a shark, eyes taking in every inch.
“Witch.”
The woman’s face breaks out into a small smirk.
“Idiot.”
John sighs, giving Josie an apologetic look.
“Anya.”
Anya bursts into a fit of giggles, flashing her pearly whites. “I am only joking, mostly.” She focuses her gaze back on Josie, frowning a bit. “And what’s this? Does Sherlock have a new friend?”
Sherlock mimics her, snatching up a biscuit from a platter laid out on the coffee table. John shakes his head, sighing loudly.
“I’m spoken for, I’m afraid.” Josie says. “Or, I was.”
Anya is no dummy and can deduce that something was amiss. She thought it best to leave it be, this was John and Sherlock’s area and she made it a clear rule from the start that she would never get involved with their crime solving. Whatever was going on, she trusted that John would let her know if they were in any danger.
“Well, I can see that very important conversations need to be had. I’ll go get some tea.”
Anya leaves the room without another word, only sharing a knowing look with John in passing.
The trio retreats to the living room, Watson making himself at home in his favorite chair. Gladstone happily trots over and plops himself down by his owner’s feet.
Anya returns shortly with a tray of tea, setting coasters out among the coffee table. Josie tries not to peek at the loving couple, watching their quiet mannerisms and fleeting touches. Watson regards his wife highly, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips as he looks on while she pours everyone a cup. His fingers drift by her elbows, gently grazing the fabrics of her dress. Josie adverts her eyes, picking at her own hands instead.
John notices that Anya sets the table for three and not four. “You’re not taking tea?”
Anya shakes her head. “I’m afraid not, darling, I’m swamped with orders. Morgan is still upstairs waiting for me to return.”
“If you mind my asking,” Josie starts. “What is it that you do?”
“She makes clown costumes.” Sherlock interjects. Anya ignores his jest.
“I’m a designer.” She stands to her full height, giving a small twirl. “I made this myself.”
“It’s absolutely stunning.” Josie comments. “I’ve never seen designs like this before. You should consider going shopping in France, they have wonderful gowns there.”
“It would be an honor.” Anya genuinely beams. She steals a kiss from Watson before setting off up the stairs.
Watson and Holmes share a look, to which John shakes his head. “Don’t.”
“I wasn’t.”
“But you wanted to.”
“Perhaps.”
Josie picks up her cup of tea, inhaling the aroma prior to taking a sip. “I don’t mean any offense, Mr. Holmes, but I don’t understand why my family hired you for this case.”
Sherlock’s face doesn’t change as Watson hands him a cup of tea that he doesn’t drink, setting it to the side instead.
“Oh, your family didn’t hire me. Your bloody, bludgeoned husband did.”
Josie’s tea cup rattles as she sets it down on the table, hand clutching at her throat. “I don’t understand…why would Theo do that?”
“That’s what we’re hoping to find out.” John answers confidently.
“We?” Sherlock looks to his friend. His only friend. “We ended when you married that sorceress who has likely put something in that tea which causes you to enter some sort of…zombie-like state.”
Sherlock quickly grasps his own tea, tossing the liquid out in a potted plant. Bringing the newly emptied cup to his nostrils, he sniffs it deeply. “I have yet to deduce what it is exactly as I can only smell the awful overpowering of chamomile.”
“You’re giving me a headache.” Was all that Watson replied. He returns his gaze to Joise who has gone stiff.
“I didn’t kill him, you must understand.” She whispers.
“I believe you.” Watson tells her softly. While Sherlock was excellent at reading people like a book, John had a better sense of gathering their emotional state, seeing them for who they really are. He could tell that Josephine was no cold blooded killer.
“The locket you are wearing, currently being concealed in your bosom, your dead husband did not give it to you.” Sherlock states. He gets up out of his chair, hands locked firmly behind his back as he begins to pace the floor.
“I am confused.” Josie says, eyes flickering to John for help. He merely shrugs.
“Theo came from a family of women who preferred gold over silver. The Callahan’s have a huge hand in the goldmine that is overtaking parts of California and any jewelry henceforth have come directly from the source, that explains the wedding ring on your finger but not the locket around your neck. Certain women, women who were bred to navigate the social hierarchy that is marriage-“ the word comes out strained. “Understand that love is stored on your ring finger but women who truly love are under the assumption that it is better held closer to the heart. So I say to you again, Ms. Wellington, the locket is not a gift from Theo.”
Josephine blinks rapidly, removing her idling hand from her neck and using it to smooth down her dress. A nervous tick. “Your assumption is correct, Mr. Holmes.”
“It is not an assumption if it is something I already knew.” The enigmatic detective mutters to no one in particular.
“It was gifted to you by another lover. Were you having an affair?” Sherlock tuts. “No, no. Don’t answer that. Of course you were. The only difference is that this was no other man, it was a woman.”
John grimaces.
Josephine clutches her hands together as if she were in prayer. “Please, you don’t understand-“
“You’re right, I don’t. Not yet, anyhow.”
“Holmes, I think we should give Ms. Wellington some space.” John tries to argue.
“Please, refer to me as Josie.”
John nods his head. Sherlock continues.
“It is distasteful for a woman of your caliber to be romantically involved with another of the same sex but it is nothing a common blackmail couldn’t handle…Theo doesn’t fit the mold. Why doesn’t the bloody bastard fit? Watson!”
John rolls his eyes and sighs, twisting his head over to look at Sherlock. “Why are you yelling, I’m right here!”
“What is the time?”
John checks his watch. “Half past nine, why?”
Sherlock does not answer him as he strolls out of the room and out of the front door, stepping promptly on just the thing he was looking for. He enters the room again, this time with a slight smile on his face.
“What is the matter with you?” John’s voice drips with annoyment at his friends' antics.
“This is why he doesn’t fit.”
Sherlock drops the daily paper down on the coffee table, it connects with a soft thud. Josie gives out a small cry, hastily setting down her teacup before running out of the room. John carefully picks up the paper, surveying the headline.
“WELLINGTON” SOCIALITE WHO MURDERED HUSBAND KNOWN CON ARTIST.”

OC Brain Rot Post #1: Thea and Abby and the Rivals Fight at the Mansion
OC Brain Rot (originally based on this post) is where I basically ramble some about my OCs and what they're up to currently outside of my writings and arts. Basically, these posts are, in essence, brain dumps. Sometimes there might only be a couple sentences and half-formed ideas, others might go into meta involving my ocs and whichever game universe they are apart of.
Most post will be based around my otome OCs but some original ones might slip in once in a while! You just never know where my brain might take me.
I'll also make a big, huge note here that these posts won't be spoiler-free! At the beginning of each post, I'll try and make note of which game and OCs I'll be talking about. Spoiler parts will be under the cut.
For this post, there will be Spoilers below about the Interlude route of Ikemen Vampire, right around Chapters 10 and 11.
Thea and Abby will feature in this rot. Normally, they are two characters that have their own universes. However, I also fall inevitably into joining their universes together just so I can have them both interacting with the boys and being friends (Thea is quite protective of the shy and timid Abby), so I'll also include some thoughts about both of them together in this part of the Interlude route.
Here we go, onto the brain rotting!
-----
For Context: The Interlude Route in Ikemen Vampire is a transition arc between the first and second acts, right before the act 2 for the suitors are released and two new characters are introduced. MC is stuck in the past because Comte's magical time door is broke and going home is likely an impossibility at this point, unless you want to be lost in the time soup for all eternity. So now, MC is trying to make the best of the change in her plans.
Vlad, still bent on not letting the vision he saw in the future come to pass, revives the rivals to our suitors and they have been terrorizing everyone the past few chapters. Where I'm at currently, Vlad has met with Comte and Leonardo and they tried to talk things out, purebloods to pureblood, but Vlad still refuses to stop his mission and the three part ways.
He then sends the ones he's revived to the mansion in an all out attack. Napoleon and Jean take the most brunt in fighting Wellington and Gilles with Leonardo and Comte assisting them. Dazai and Sebastian were guarding the door while the other non-fighters (Mozart and Isaac) were in the piano room. Theo had gone on his own to face off against Gauguin to get revenge with Arthur following him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, such as going through with the revenge quest he was on.
This is initially where the girls start off in. Vincent is also in the piano room but soon goes out on his own because he also figures that Theo was about to do something stupid and while I initially thought it was dumb of him because he left the non-fighters defenseless (his little info blerb he's the strongest of the non-purebloods and I had many instances of 'why you do that, something bad gonna happen to the non-fighters! Vincent, my love!') but he didn't want for Theo to do his stupid thing, so he goes to Theo and it's sweet (me still thinking it was dumb but whatever, narrative gonna do what it wants).
For Thea, she goes with Vincent after Theo. No risking yourself for your brother nonsense! She cares too much about Theo too, she's gonna stop him. And she knows a little bit about fighting (as stated in this power-scaling reblog I did), so she'll be mostly okay. Theo pulls her to him as he flips the pool table in the game room and all four of them are dodging bullets, currently.
For Abby, she stays with Mozart and Isaac in the piano room, scared as this is some terrifying shit going on! When Vincent said he was leaving for Theo, Abby was very, very scared, numerous things running through her head, all of them not good. Worried for everyone outside fighting currently, for Sebastian and Dazai guarding the door, for Theo and Arthur out on their own, and now Vincent going on his own to find Theo. She wishes she could curl up in a corner somewhere, close her eyes and cover her ears until all of this was over, but she can't, not when all of her friends are fighting right now.
Before Vincent leaves, she does tug on his sleeve, wanting to ask him to stay. She knows how strong he is and wants him to stay with them, but seeing his eyes, how worried yet determined how he is. He was set on finding Theo.
So, in the face of that, all she could do was let go of his sleeve and say "Be careful."
Vincent smiles and gently pats her shoulder, promising to come back soon, with Theo in tow.
Once he's gone, however, Salieri comes after Mozart with a knife and we're back in terror time again. Isaac stays the closest to her, they're both terrified! Mozart shielding both of them. He manages to break the mind control over him with standing in front of the piano, reminding him that he had admired his music in their first lives, what has happened to you to attack another music lover? Things seem to simmer down in the music room because of that.
In the combined universe of both girls, it's relatively the same, Vincent still goes off to find Theo, but Thea goes with him, determined to find Theo and to help him or stop him from doing the stupid thing. Abby still tugs on Vincent's sleeve, still sacred but ultimately lets him and Thea go. They both cared a lot about the younger van Gogh, so who was she to stop them just because she's scared?
And... this is as far as I've gotten with this brain rot. Just a fun little brain exercise to put the girls in the goings on with what I'm playing currently. Hope to be able to share some more brain rots with you guys soon!

Rhys Darby returns for NZ Comedy Festival
The first time Rhys Darby was praised for his humour was in primary school, when two little girls told him he should be a comedian.
He thought that meant a lizard.
Darby didn't know there was such vocation as a comedian, and got mixed up with chameleon.
Tumblr media
It might not have been for him, but Rhys Darby doesn't regret joining the army, it's given a lot of material over the years.
He rushed home to tell his mum that the kids at school thought he should be a lizard, and took it upon himself to start doing lizard impressions.
Tumblr media
David Farrier, Rhys Darby and Buttons' radio show The Cryptid Factor is dedicated to the weird and the wonderful, and in particular, cryptozoology.
Tumblr media
Rhys Darby and wife Rosie, at the Wellington premiere of What We Do in the Shadows, in which Darby who plays a werewolf.
His repertoire extended to Scooby Doocharacters, people in soup commercials and anyone else he saw on television.
Darby entertained his friends with drawings too. They would look forward to the next instalment of a cartoon he sketched at the bottom of his book.
The entertaining has not stopped since.
Tumblr media
Rhys Darby starred alongside Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet in Modern Family.
After making a name for himself on the live comedy circuit, the actor has gone on to become one of New Zealand's top comedy exports.
His big break was starring inFlight of the Conchords, as the hopeless band manager Murray Hewitt, alongside Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie.
Now based in Los Angeles with his wife, Rosie, and sons Finn (10), and Theo (6), Darby's CV is looking pretty impressive.
It includes his own mockumentary series Short Poppies, the lead in the romantic comedy Love Birds, starring alongside Jim Carrey in Yes Man, a scene-stealer in What We do in the Shadows, guest starring in Modern Family and The X-Files reboot, and most recently, playing Psycho Sam in The Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
Even the drawing has served Darby, who is currently writing and illustrating a (currently top secret) children's book.
Darby heads back to New Zealand this month for the NZ International Comedy Festival, to perform as his old duo Rhysently Granted, with Grant Lobban.
Tumblr media
Rhys Darby and Grant Lobban as the comedy duo Rhysently Granted, 1996
The two last performed together more than 20 years ago.
Darby's humour was nurtured from a young age, it was a trait he particularly shared with his mother, Barbara.
After Barbara had three girls and a boy, there was a nine-year gap before she had Darby.
"I was very much this mistake at the wrong end," Darby says, whose parents split shortly after he was born.
"So it was just really me and Mum, my brother was with us for a while until he hit his early 20s, but I guess I felt like an only child a lot.
"Mum was a bit older by then and so she got through every day by really just having a wonderful sense of humour. The two of us had such fun, laughter was really the main thing that we kind of enjoyed every day."
He joined the air training corps when he turned 12, before switching over the the army cadets.
When Darby hit adolescence, Barbara  began dropping hints that her son might like to join the army or look at boarding schools, he says.
"It was going to be harder having another child and putting him through his teenage years.
"I think she was thinking I was going to be this teenage tyrant, probably getting onto the wrong side of the tracks and stuff, but of course I was the nicest boy you'd ever meet.
"I guess it was just kind of in my nature to be nice and geeky. I didn't really do any parties or anything like that, I played with my action-figures right up until I joined the army at 17."
In the army, he would often got lost in the bush and get into trouble for impersonating officers.
Darby says he would not send his own sons there, but he does not regret joining. He is only glad he got asked to leave before he saw any combat service.
"You'd probably be better off being a clown or something, rather than a soldier, Darby," he was told.
"I mean you're good for morale here, but we worry once you actually get into combat whether you'll shoot our own people by mistake or something."
Darby couldn't see the humour at the time, but the army has sure been worth it's value in comedy material since.
"I've since gone back and seen that a lot of old British comedians have spent time back in the day in military, and there's a lot of humour that I've got from it.
"It made me who I am, it gave me some self-discipline and made me care about the way I look and do things, and have a responsibility to complete tasks, turn up on time, and I think all that got ingrained into me".
Conchords was Darby's ticket to America.
When the show took off, Darby would often get mistaken for his character in real life.
He and Murray have some similarities – Darby tends to be the one to make the decisions among his friends – "But as far as being an absolute naive idiot, definitely not," he says.
The odd person will still call him Murray, but does not care, because the character was so loved.
"I'm a big fan of him as well, because he's just a sweetheart and optimistically naive and it's the blind leading the blind because he's got no idea what he's doing as a band manager. Luckily his band are even thicker than he is, so it's just a sweet romance between those three."
Having always been obsessed with the paranormal, landing the X-Files gig was the ultimate role.
It is a hobby that has seen him travel the world in search for mythical creatures, like when he traveled to Puerto Rico with David Farrier in pursuit of the chupacabra.
Darby has reached an extraordinary point in his career where casting directors already know who he is and what he can do.
The tables have turned from crossing fingers for an audition, to being asked to attend.
One of the best career decisions Darby says he has made is choosing his manager.
"Ultimately my wife manages everything, so it had to be somebody that could work with Rosie.
"We selected a really cool manager, a guy that I very much love by the name of Tucker, and it's these decisions that continue to lead to great things."
But keeping his Kiwi accent is the career decision he is most proud of.
"That's really important to me, because so many actors when they come over to  America just drop their accent straight away and Americanise themselves, and I didn't want to be like that. I wanted to be able to use my own voice in all the stories I tell, because there are plenty of New Zealanders on the planet and you don't often get to hear them."
"So I'm very lucky, not just as an actor, but a comical actor, that is in a sort of smaller pool of people who are picked for various things in which I can be myself more, and that seems to be working."
As well as Rhysently Granted, Darby performs in three other Comedy Festival shows.
"I'm looking forward to going back and doing that and actually having fun again, because I kind of lost my way a bit in the last few years with it all being such a big money-making enterprise.
"You kind of lose what it was in the first place that made you want to laugh, and it was just that having fun with friends."

Hello Honeyb I hope to not be too late but study got me stuck For the writer game can I have 💌💎🍭🌿💥 Thank you Have a wonderful day 😘😘
no worries julie i know how it is!! make sure to rest ok? ily!!
💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!
oh i don't want to spoil it!! it's more than just one wip, im planning on writing several <1000 word fics for a certain theme and a certain fandom 🤫 they're both things i missed very much. i hope you can enjoy!
💎why is writing important to you?
because i'd honestly explode if i don't put my creative energy somewhere 😭😭 also i love being able to share a part of myself with the world!
🍭why did you start writing?
so that i could express my love for Napoleon in some way! along the way i picked up other characters because i worked easier without the nervousness that came with writing for your most loved one, and discovered i liked giving some love to them too! writing is like a love language to me!
🌿how does creating make you feel?
warm and happy! i appreciate endlessly the games and the characters that color my days and make me smile, so being able to write a story with them no mater how small, is like showing gratitude for that, but also like creating a time capsule of those precious feelings and moments. combine that with the ability to make people smile through my writing and im exploding with happiness from being able to do this 😭😭
💥find your least kudos'd fic - say something wonderful about it.
JULIEEE I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK ME THIS!!! im so curious i'll go right away brb 🏃🏻‍♀️
The Catastrophe (Napoleon x Wellington) [crack]Tags: Crack Treated Seriously; Humor; Light Angst; they’re fighting :( ; Arguing; Shapeshifting; Making Up; Happy Ending; reference to that one scene at the cliff; Established Relationship; Kissing; Sexual Tension (just a lil bit); Fluff; Naps; also present in the fic are: Sebastian, Arthur, Theo, Vincent, Dazai, Comte
ok now the wonderful thing about it. this is a bday fic for my dear @batteryrose and as such it depicts a very specific inside joke (?) we have that is precious to me because he basically rendered me unable to think about anything else when i see two cats similar to those. im happy to have this materialized in some kind of form.... i think its important to have fics like those, and i don't need anyone's kudos as long as Devon enjoyed it!
-> ask game (you’re never too late to this!) | answered: 🧿 🕯️ 🌈 ; 🦋 🌻 ; 🎈💞🪄

Chateau Pey La Tour
Khám Phá Chateau Pey La Tour: Chai Vang Bordeaux Đẳng Cấp
Chateau Pey La Tour là một biểu tượng của rượu Bordeaux đích thực, mang đến trải nghiệm ấn tượng với sự kết hợp hoàn hảo của tinh hoa và sự sang trọng. Được biết đến với phong cách tinh tế và chất lượng vượt trội, chai vang này đã chinh phục không chỉ những người sành rượu mà còn các tín đồ yêu thích hương vị rượu vang Pháp.
Mô Tả Hương Vị Rượu Vang Pháp Chateau Pey La Tour
Chateau Pey La Tour nổi bật với sự phối trộn độc đáo của 79% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot và 1% Cabernet Franc. Với niên vụ 2021 xuất sắc, rượu vang khoác lên mình màu đỏ garnet quyến rũ và một chùm hương thơm tinh tế. Sự kết hợp của các loại nho tạo ra một hương vị đa dạng với những nốt hương của trái cây chín mọng như mâm xôi và việt quất, cùng với tannin mịn màng và vị chát nhẹ.
Ở tầng hương thứ cấp, Chateau Pey La Tour mang đến sự trải nghiệm tuyệt vời với hương gỗ sồi, vanilla và khói thuốc lá nồng nàn. Dư vị chát hòa quyện với độ acid cao vọt, đánh thức vị giác và để lại hậu vị dài lâu, với một kết thúc ám khói và phảng phất mùi đất ẩm và da thuộc. Chateau Pey La Tour chắc chắn là lựa chọn hoàn hảo cho những ai yêu thích sự tinh tế trong từng giọt rượu vang.
Thưởng Thức Rượu Vang Pháp Chateau Pey La Tour
Với đặc trưng hương vị của vang Pháp trưởng thành, Chateau Pey La Tour là chai vang thiên chát, có hàm lượng tannin cao và thời gian ủ sồi kéo dài. Điều này làm cho bảng hương của nó trở nên vô cùng phức tạp. Chai vang này lý tưởng khi kết hợp với các món ăn từ thịt đỏ như thịt bò, thịt cừu, thịt heo, hay thịt thú rừng, đặc biệt là các món được tẩm ướp gia vị cay, sốt kem bơ hoặc BBQ. Để hương vị rượu vang phát huy hết sức mạnh, hãy phục vụ trong những ly vang đỏ Bordeaux bầu ly lớn và uống lạnh ở nhiệt độ 16 - 18 độ C.
Thực Đơn Lý Tưởng Cùng Chateau Pey La Tour
Một bữa tối hoàn hảo với Chateau Pey La Tour có thể bao gồm các món như Steak bò Sirloin nướng tảng, sườn cừu nướng hương thảo, đùi heo hầm sữa, đùi heo muối Iberico, và meatloaf bò Wellington. Kèm theo đó là bánh mì nướng bơ tỏi, pate gan ngỗng, pho mai mặn, và các món từ heo hoặc cánh ngỗng hun khói.
Đôi Nét Về Xưởng Rượu Chateau Pey La Tour và Nhà Sản Xuất Dourthe
Dourthe, một trong những nhà sản xuất rượu vang hàng đầu ở Bordeaux, được thành lập từ năm 1840. Họ sở hữu nhiều điền trang nho nổi tiếng ở Bordeaux, bao gồm Bordeaux Superieur, Chateau Pey La Tour, Chateau Belgrave và La Garde ở Pessac Leognan. Sự gắn bó chặt chẽ của Dourthe với mảnh đất Bordeaux không chỉ đến từ kinh nghiệm lâu năm mà còn nhờ nỗ lực không ngừng của đội ngũ sản xuất và truyền thống ủ rượu gần 200 năm.
Chateau Pey La Tour là một trong số ít điền trang nho nhỏ lẻ tại Bordeaux, ít nổi tiếng trước khi gia tộc Dourthe quyết định mua lại vào năm 1990. Được thiên nhiên miền Nam Pháp ưu ái, Dourthe luôn giữ trách nhiệm bảo vệ môi trường và phát triển bền vững trong sản xuất rượu vang.
