A3! Home Screen Lines - April Fool's 2023

Note: Akashi uses Wabun Morse code to say something is beautiful, but cuts himself off before saying what. I'm just guessing how to start the second word here.

A3! APRIL 1: KAMEKICHI

[natsu-tte-noodle]

So I don’t often barge in talking about ships on this blog—honestly I’ve been pretty stern about not doing that, though I couldn’t really explain why if you asked—but today’s a special day, so I figured it’s about time I get on board!

So, here’s my top 5 A3! ships! Under the cut for length purposes and for some spoilers for Trump the Phantom Thief. For each, I also tried to explain a bit of why they’ve anchored themselves as favorites for me :)

5. The Royal Star Cruise

You might not remember this ship—it’s the luxury cruise liner where the heist in Trump the Phantom Thief takes place! To be fair, it’s definitely my love for this play that boosted this one into the top five, though, since we don’t  have much information about the ship itself at all. The hallways look nice, though!

4. The little ship they ride to Misoshiosa Island

This ship is barely a ship, but I’ve gotta put it on the list for two reasons. One, Misoshiosa is one of my favorite events in all of A3. Two, I couldn’t have EVERY ship on this list be a big one, right? Smaller, lesser-known ships deserve some recognition too.

3. Princess Aurora

Princess Aurora gets some automatic bonus points for appearing in more than one story! The Summer and Autumn Troupes perform Trump the Phantom Thief on it, and then they return to it in the A Scenic View to Give You Someday event!  It has a really different feel from the Queen Camellia, too; they really went off with the design of this one.  I feel like I’d put it even higher, but I’m not sure if I’d want to be on a ship that had a literal gem heist on it.

2. The Queen Camellia

Do I personally like the Princess Aurora better? Yeah. But honestly, the Queen Camellia is such an iconic ship in A3.  When you hear “A3 ship,” the Queen Camellia is definitely one of the first to come to mind. I think it’s the only named ship we got in A3EN, after all, and it’s the event that had the sailor-themed cards.  Its gold detailing makes it look even fancier than the Princess Aurora too, and that POOL? I would kill (and then be arrested by Sakuya) to hang out at that pool.

1. Captain Sky’s Pirate Ship

Of course I have to give the number 1 spot to a ship as iconic as this one. The whole play takes place on it! They’re PIRATES! Of course the pirate ship is going to leave an impression! The ships used by the royal navy look similar to frigates, but Sky’s ship is described as shabby, so it’s possible that it’s a smaller ship instead.  If only the English graphics didn’t break so I could tell… :pensive: Anyway, top tier ship even if they do kill it off at the end T_T

Did you spot all the puns in the intro? :3c

When I opened the game I saw him fly on screen and like. Covered it with my hands for a good three minutes before I could bring myself to look at it. Tapping through the backstage for outfits and I still can't quite bring myself to view him directly

april fools events hihi

[icharchivist]

in our crew server we have a bot that runs a gacha full of characters from a wiki, so it is from every single franchise ever, and we usually roll and claim whoever are our favs and stuff.

Hisoso popped up while i was sleeping. One of my friend tried to grab him but couldn’t. I’m devastated.

But yknow who popped up /for me/ earlier?

fucking Lobelia.

That i had to claim. For my friend.

i only know suffering.

(idk how to reply specifically to messages but) this is a very poetic and beautiful image that i agree with but i will say i made banri pegasus because he was just rainbow dash-core...

it wasnt shown very well but pony tsumugi actually has a broken horn! tsumu auditions for godza troupe but obviously now with a broken horn it becomes a 'distraction', doesnt fit godzas perfect image and is cast out

Giraffe Girumble - Round 3A

Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)

Kaku propaganda:

He's a black ops government assassin who can transform into a giraffe or a human-giraffe hybrid that is really angular for some reason. He fights using two swords and wind blades shot from his feet, but giraffes have four feet, so he can shoot wind blades from all four limbs. He can also become a cube. And suck in his neck to fire his head forward like a cannon, his nose like a square-shaped cannonball. Or suck in his neck to make his legs longer, like a pasta machine.

A professional assassin and government agent, ate the fruit that gave him the ability to turn into a giraffe. Due to Kaku's personal anatomical peculiarity, he turns into a square giraffe (technically, a parallelepiped) a good swordsman who quickly learned to use the giraffe form for his fighting style. However, because he only became a giraffe a few hours ago, he is still not very good at it, which makes him miss funny. in his next appearance, he is a complete professional at transformations. AND AFTER HIS TEAM LOST TO THE MAIN CHARACTER'S TEAM, HE AND HIS PARTNERS WORKED AT A TRAMPOLINE RIDE AND HE RODE CHILDREN ON HIS NECK TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE BOSS'S TREATMENT.

Kaku turns into a giraffe-human by being ordered to eat a devil fruit by his boss, and the first thing this man does is hop on the giraffe propaganda train, no hesitation. His collegues are wolfs and leopards. Does Kaku mope about being a giraffe? No! He literally holds a whole speech explaining why giraffes are both dope, cool and the most lethal animal on the savanna. Then proceeds to unleash the limitless destructive power of the giraffe. Kaku is the no. 1 giraffe character, hands down, no competition, I will die on this hill, give me 1000 dollars.

Miyoshi Kazunari propaganda:

I don’t know how to explain this in a cohesive way that doesn’t sound like I’m insane but this silly little actor visual novel has a canon furry event. All of the characters have canon fursonas. Okay, let me explain. Every year, the April fool’s event involves an AU, just for fun. Other years have included a host club, magic school, time travel, a fighting game, etc. This one was an AU where all the characters were animals, and it was by far the most extensive, given that it had its own full-blown event as opposed to a single card and side story like in the past. I couldn’t tell you if Kazunari counts given the submission rules and A3!’s circumstances, but it would be cool if he got in as A3! is generally a smaller franchise.

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT

POST-PRE-PRELIMINARY #71

Submission 181

a3! banri settsu's spring outfit IS NOT AS BAD AS SOME OF YALL MAKE IT OUT TO BE IT LOOKS GOOD

[JUSTIFICATION UNDER THE CUT]

Pre-preliminaries will be used to determine what qualifies as a hot take. Propaganda is encouraged!

Also, remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure! (exposure like when you’re exposed to the fact that the KISS Scooby Doo crossover does actually exist, scarring you for life)

for reference this is what i'm talking about: https://yaycupcake.com/a3/images/6/6b/Banri_Fullbody.png THIS IS MY MAN MY BOYFRIEND I INSULT HIM ALL THE TIME BUT I WILL NOT LET ANYONE SLIGHT THIS DRIP. "oh my god he's wearing leopard print with plaid" AND HE MAKES IT WORK. yes if someone just told me with no context or reference pics whatsoever that this guy pairs leopard print with plaid, i too would be like what the fuck lol that's terrible. BUT NOW THAT I’VE ACTUALLY SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES I’M A CHANGED WOMAN. and this is how he works it: neither pattern is too much. the leopard print is lightly sprinkled on the top of his vest (idk why he wears it it doesn’t seem to serve any practical purpose but it looks good so who cares), and the plaid is literally just on the sleeves. there isn’t a lot of contrast between the black and the purple squares so it’s easy on the eyes. and under the plaid and the vest he’s wearing a normal black tee with a little graphic on it, and again it’s not too much it’s just a little thing. his top half definitely catches the eye but it’s not terribly busy. i love it! and he loves the colour purple (his summer, autumn, and winter default outfits all have him wearing purple in some form and he looks great in them!) LET HIM WEAR PURPLE LET HIM BE HAPPY.

and he balances it out with how simple his lower half is in comparison to the top half! just a normal pair of dark blue jeans and grey sneakers. because he KNOWS that his top half has quite a fair bit of stuff going on, so for balance he keeps the bottom half simple HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING HE IS CANONICALLY CALLED A FASHIONISTA FOR A REASON, AND IN AN INTRA-FANDOM FASHION TOURNAMENT I HELD HE LITERALLY RANKS 6 OUT OF 24 CHARACTERS (AKA IN THE TOP QUARTER, ALBEIT THE BOTTOM OF THE TOP QUARTER BUT STILL) WITH AN AVERAGE OF 81.7 VOTES, and his best outfit (not this outfit) ranked no. 4 OVERALL with 238 votes to its name (you can check the stats in this post https://www.tumblr.com/a3outfitstournament/722364282034110464/part-2-pairings?source=share) so there is substance to his canonical status as a stylish fashionista!! do not doubt or disparage the plaid + leopard print combo!! besides his canon fursona (long story short all 24 main characters were assigned a fursona as part of an april’s fools prank thing) is a leopard so let him express his furry self through his wise and based fashion choices!!

also he’s literally an anime guy. and not just that, a CANONICALLY STATED HANDSOME ANIME GUY. as in, multiple people in-universe have commented that he is good looking and stylish. sure all anime boys can look pretty but he is acknowledged IN-UNIVERSE to be attractive so even if he wore a potato sack he’d still be my specialest guy <3
