petals are pressed into fine pink lips , HE ' S CERTAIN , a perfect mixture of pink . pigments made from camellias , glossed over and OH - SO TEMPTING . always , it's like an obsession . not only over her lips though , no , she is his grand obsession . ( FUNNY WHAT THE HEART DEMANDS ) . his favorite person , found in beauty and grace . vaguely he remembers the fairytales his mother used to tell him and his siblings ; KANAE REMINDS HIM OF A FAIRY , graceful in her movements and confident .

❛ easy now ❜ it's like a warning ; voice gravel , saturated with a special kind of NEED . reserved for the flower Hashira ; reserved for her beauty . blessed by gods ; wise and beautiful , his eyes of orchids and lavender deepen into amethyst [ . . . ] gaze settles through his eyelashes . scarred hands rise and follow her movement ; manuevering to where her knees drop on either side of him , touch starting just above the knee EXTENDING UP to the thighs . soft , plush . he gives a squeeze . HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STARVED ? he's never been great with touch , never known how to react . sadly , that doesn't just fade away , still he gets SURPRISED by her direct approach. he nuzzles into her collarbone , a light nip to the skin and then a kiss over to soothe.

PROMPTED ₓ ACCEPTING .

Happy Birthday King! 👑✨ May you have the sweetest and most entertaining dreams 🐥💜

Random Notes:

I think he would be so happy if he gets invited to Super Smash Bros lmao He's gonna have so much fun with his opponents.

I'm still amazed at how him being Disciplinary Committee Leader is so win-win for him. He loves his peace and quiet, so he'd be satisfied when no commotion happens for the day. But then he also loves fighting, so he'd gladly bite to death any fodder who does cause any commotion/does any crowding (it lowkey still does annoy him but still-- hahaha). It's reverse "damned if you do, damned if you don't"!

That panel with multiple Hibirds is them being able to sing the Namimori Middle School anthem in full, rather than only the first part. I remember reading somewhere that he had this problem where Hibird can't sing the full song skdjfbjhsvf

The panel with Kana - tried thinking of a dream that would give him the doki dokis. A death battle invitation would do the trick and a nice change of pace from the usual of hunting Kana down for sport. My monkeybrain.exe went oonga boonga after this thought. Wow, i love it when my fave khr canon chara and my fave khr oc beat the shit out of each other 🥰🥰🥰 So wholesome!

The one with the huge flying Hibird is based on this keychain LMAO

TMM Character Bios over All Versions

At long last, my collection of TMM bios, both transcribed and translated.

Sorted by source here. Sorted by person here. Collection of pictures of chara bio stickers, mostly from (expired) auction/sale listings online here.

List of sources:

Manga-related:

Manga character info page: that page that appears at the beginning of each volume of the manga. Very short. Does not change over time (with one exception), so sometimes it doesn't highlight the character's main personality trait…

Manga character info page (a La Mode): Same as above, but for a La Mode. Only appears in volume 2. (Note: Re-Turn does not have one of these)

A La Mode Intro Boxes: the little character bio charts that Berry and Tasuku get in A La Mode chapter 1

PS game manual: manual from the PS game. Contains the most direct ages for all characters and the only info on game-exclusive characters.

2002 Anime-related:

Profile stickers: square stickers with a picture of the girl on the front and a little chart of character info on the back. Comes in 2 distinct styles: One with a headshot of the character inside a heart on the front and the back printed in the character's theme color, and the other with a sparkly full-body shot + closeup of their head on the front and the back printed in red/hot pink.

2002 Anime Fanbook: artbook/fan guide for the original anime. Character pages have 2 taglines, a short bio, and a chart containing information similar to the stickers. Not well edited, so there's some inconsistent formatting/punctuation.

2002 Anime Insert from the TMM New Artbook: small section on the original anime within the New season 1 artbook. Character pages have a tagline, a short bio, and a chart containing information almost identical to the 2002 fanbook. The text for the bios are similar to the 2002 fanbook, but with more kanji and some editing for consistent style.

TMM New-related:

TMM New website character page: page on the official TMM site that has designs, birthdays, and short bios for all major characters. The one source that lists Seiji as a major character.

TMM New season 1 artbook: artbook with background information on season 1 of New. Only contains info on what appears in season 1, but the 2002 insert has spoilers for that whole series. Character pages have a tagline and a short bio which is very similar but not identical to the bio from the website.

If you want to see some of my thoughts on the info here + interesting changes/differences I noticed, that's below the cut!

It's obvious the original anime was aimed at kids and the new one is aimed at adults because sources related to the original manga and anime use lots of kana instead of kanji and have furigana on all kanji they do use. New-related sources use way more kanji and have no furigana.

Possibly related to this, older TMM stuff tends to use ミュウプロジェクト (Mew Project) vs New, which uses 「μ」プロジェクト (μ Project).

The original TMM fanbook has spotty editing which is especially visible in the charts. There's lots of small inconsistencies, like some words being spelled slightly differently (e.g., らっきょ instead of らっきょう for Pudding's least favorite food) and punctuation being inconsistent between the girls (e.g., items in lists being separated by interpuncts ・ except for Pudding's special skills, where it's inexplicably a comma 、). The biggest, most glaring issue is actually with a section I'll be posting slightly later, but I'll go ahead and list it here too: out of all official sources, the TMM Fanbook is the ONLY one who lists the Mew Mews' attacks as begining with リボン (ribon) instead of リボーン (riboon). This would be conclusive evidence in the Ribbon/Reborn debate if I didn't have the suspicion it's just a typo no one double-checked…

The stickers are in a slightly weird place continuity-wise since they have anime art on the front but refer to some manga-only information on the girls (e.g., Pudding having a pet monkey).

Speaking of the monkey, apparently at the time the stickers were coming out, Mia Ikumi had yet to finalize Annin's name, since here the monkey is called Mapo (i.e., mapo tofu)

The sticker bios have some otherwise-unseen info on character backstories: specifically, we find out that Mint's dad is a CEO and her mom runs a school, Zakuro's father is a producer and her mother is a model, and that Keiichirou is an orphan taken in by the Shiroganes at age 14. Also, apparently Ryou lives in the room above the cafe and Keiichirou lives in the secret basement.

Keiichirou seems to get way more impressive intros as time goes on. The manga bio comically undersells him, calling him "a waiter", and the PS game book only calls out his cooking skills, although Masha's bio drops the bomb that Keiichirou's the one who built him for Ryou. The 2002 fanbook mostly makes a point of how considerate he is, in contrast to the 2002 insert in the New artbook, where he's explicitly referred to as a researcher on cryptids/UMA. The New bios on the website and artbook go one step further and call him a "leading" researcher in the field!

Moe and Miwa's personalities seem to have changed or even reversed between the OG anime and New. Originally both Moe and Miwa are mostly defined by how they react to Ichigo. I.e., Ichigo says/does something weird (usually related to Mew Mew stuff or Aoyama), then Moe calls her out and Miwa either plays peacemaker or ends up joining in with Moe. So Moe snarky, Miwa gentler. New attempts to give them goals/personalities outside of this, so Moe becomes a "soothing" person with an interest in psychology and Miwa becomes a practical aspiring writer. I can only assume the writer thing is based on her writing Keiichirou a poem in the one episode where she and Moe get crushes on him and Shirogane, but I have no idea where Moe's career goal came from, much less how she became the "nice" one… I have to assume it's from her cutesy name??? Or maybe they thought that the one with blond curls looked "nicer/gentler" than the brunette with very short hair??? Weird.

The girls + Masaya (and Seiji, who is now in college so that he remains an older brother!) are aged up for New, but Ryou still seems to be the same age, which kind of makes the whole situation much funnier. Ichigo already had zero respect when he was slightly older, but now he's basically just one of her classmates. …of course, there's still room for him to be 16-17 instead of 15…

Sidenote: Ryou is consistently referred to as shonen/boy, which strikes me as funny despite making sense for his age. The narrator also doesn't respect him. Keiichirou gets seinen/young man, which trends a little older.

Ichigo gets referred to as ドジ (doji) in the '02 Fanbook which made me double-take since I'd usually associate it much more with Lettuce… I'd usually translate it to "clumsy", but in this case it's clearly going more for ditsy, flighty, disorganized, etc. so I went with "scatter-brained". The New bios do call Lettuceドジ, and I just used clumsy there.

Buling knowing kenpo/martial arts sure shows up more than I expected considering how little relevance it has to the actual show…

Zakuro, at least in the '02 anime, is supposed to be good with computers apparently! It shows up in her Fanbook bio as well as in one of the stickers (hobby: the internet). The internet being framed as a cool and mysterious thing for a smart character to know feels very 90s to early oughts, so maybe that's why it got dropped from her New characterization once everyone has smart phones… Saying someone's hobby is "the internet" reads more as neet or maybe influencer nowadays, as opposed to Cool Hacker or whatever. But I guess you could argue this is precedent for he inexplicable technological/manufacturing skills when she helps Minto make the prototype windmill thing?

In the stickers, there's a split between the Mew Mews favorite foods vs favorite sweet, but later on the sweets get lumped into favorite foods, which is how it's listed in the Fanbook and '02 Insert. But this does obscure the fact that Lettuce is the only one of them who just straight out has sweets as her favorite foods (shortcake, crepe cake), probably related to the fact that "cooking" and "making sweets" are listed as her special skills. 煮物/nimono (boiled or stewed food) is only added to her list of favorites in the Fanbook.

Weird that we never see Tasuku and Buling interact since he's explicitly compared to a monkey lmao.

[xoxojisu]

so im reading the demon slayer manga now bc it was alr spoiled for me so i figured why wait for the movies just read it so now im reading and @suniix was SO RIGHT. SOBBINGGGGGGG. manga spoilers below

kanao :(((( sweet girl is finally crying :(((( i love that she went "i am kanao tsuyuri. younger sister of kanae kocho and shinobu kocho." LIKE YESSSS TELL HIMMMM. anyways absolutely sobbing i am destroyed. dead now kill me now. shinobu popped off for dying so nobly and avenging kanae. samesies for kanao now go marry tanjiro. either way it was so meaningful how they all got the revenge they wanted <33 TAKE THAT DOUMA.

akaza's love story was so unexpectedly sweet? his story was lowk so cliche but i absolutely ADORED it nonetheless. not much to say there bc i have no complaints :) very sweet and very vanilla-ish

GENYA AND MUICHIRO NOOOOO 😭😭 sweet babies did not deserve to die. but at least they helped take down upper one so they kinda ate w that!! muichiro is one of my fav charas ever so im super devastated abt him like no baby no! and OMG SANEMI AND GENYAAAAA. i always knew that sanemi still loved him and didnt forget anything and all but seeing him say it was so touching. he just wanted him to live a good life with a wife and kids :(( (bruh why didnt he just say that then...) but still hes so sweetie!! i love angry sanemi sm its so funny i liked how it was like "you should live a goddamn good life with a goddamn wife and goddamn kids goddamnit!!" like hes so unintentionally funny 😭 elaborating further on their deaths, 1. muichiro. THE SCENE WITH YUICHIROOOOO. bruh why did he have to die. he was 14. nOOOJEREIUIUAI MY BABYYYYYYYYY. anyways he went out with a bang 10/10. 2. genya!! literally sobbed seeing his final words and sanemi's reaction. wish that he could've lived so they could've had happy brotherly moments :(( his final moments were so sweet and emotionallll 10/10 super sweetie pie and i like his gun

yoriichi is so sweetie pie. i love him 10/10 super cool super genius super caring super slay literally created breathing forms. unfortunately dying standing up and one breath away from killing one of the biggest opps ever was not very sigma but i can overlook it for everything else hes done. (brainrot is taking over my brain) his love story with uta is so sweet. he never loved anyone else. just her. and she understood him like nobody else did im sobbing. so sweet i cannot 😭😭 they completed each other!! its so interesting to see how differently yoriichi and koku perceived their situation. just goes to show you that life is what you make of it, and you may not know as much as you think you do about certain people. dont make assumptions! just love others <3

obanai backstory is so sad :(( i always wondered why he wore the bandages and now ik. sweet sweet boy. also OBAMITSU IS MY LITERAL EVERYTHING. THEY ARE SO PERF TOGETHER LIKE THEY ARE ACTUAL PERFECTION. RAHHHHHHH

bro tamayo is so smart. FOUR DRUGS?! in THAT AMT OF TIME?!?! goddamn girl rly popped off! also how can muzan like freaking summon their souls to come back like how tf does that even work. whaaaaaat.

well ig the person who spoiled 4 deaths for me neglected to say HIMEJIMAAAAAAUR. NAAAAUURURRURURRUR COME BACKKKKKKKKKKK. but im glad that he got to see his temple fam and stuff and they apologized to him and explained everything. sweetie pieeeee :((

okay so when i said "go marry tanjiro" to kanao i was like half joking BUT LIKE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?!?!?!?! YESSSSSS. and then there's uh. nezuko and zenitsu. uh. (hes not good enough for her im sorry i just never liked him that much even tho he was funny) also inosuke and aoi wasn't toooootally random but like it kinda was. i lowk thought aoi and zenitsu would end up tg. idk what i thought would happen to nezuko's love life but i thought the whole zenitsu thing was just a giant joke but it actually ended up working out. oh im curious as to who sanemi and giyu had children with also. (me guys. it was me.)

and im just so emotionally scarred. genuinely dont think i can recover from that wtf. i still cant believe they all died. goodnight.

Favorite manga bls/gls that you’d recommend?

i read a lot of manga when i was bored (rip tachiyomi....). idk what kinda reader u are or ur preferences but i honestly focus more on the artstyle than anything so don't expect much on the storylines here. i read more yaoi bc i feel like we're pretty much in a yaoi golden age while yuri is still stuck on the same shit we'd read in 2009, i'm accepting yuri recs!!!

BL: monotone blue (it's a beautiful story even if it's set in school), pink heart jam (the author has other good stories too, but i liked this one the most), bidou wakadanna koishitau wa koushoku otoko (i know. long name. beautiful beautiful art, has a lot of sex though. it's set in edo period!), junai dropout (pretty much just sex. yayyy salaryman is actually a whore. author has other great +18 work), gesshoku kitan ("taboo" but so interesting. author has other dark work. funnily enough it's the same author from the cute ganbare nakamura kun manga), doukyuusei (set in school. the author has one of the most unique artstyles and i've read pretty much all their works bc of it lol. their writing is not as good as their art.), himemuko (BEAUTIFUL ART), umibe no étranger (pretty famous, cute art), tasogare out focus (great art, silly charas. set in school.), mitsuya sensei no keikakuteki na ezuke (it's about eating!!!! great art and the charas are super cute. there's age difference.), usagi no mori (it's bad but it's also really good lol. set in school), MADK (insane art. insane story too), EAT (furry yaoi), one room angel (pretty interesting story), sign (manhwa. very cute. lots of sex though) and cupid ni rakurai (set in school but suuuuper cute!!! i looove this author's art).

GL: tamen de gushi (it's a manhua and it's set in school but i just love how silly it is), octave (i really liked this story. the art isnt that good but the protag felt so real), kininatteru hito ga otoko ja nakatta (suuuuper cute artstyle. still ongoing!!), ikemen girl to hakoiri musume (also very cute), tsukuritai onna to tabetai onna (there's a live action but the manga is also very good), her tale of shim chong (manhwa, pretty good but i haven't finished it yet), kakeochi girl (oh love.....), legally married yuri couple (not that good but it's cute), mai no mushigurashi (BEAUTIFUL story. lots of bugs!), sabishisugite lesbian fuuzoku ni ikimashita report (not actually gl, it's a autobio but it's a must-read in my opinion. the author has other manga about her life), tsukiatte agetemo ii kana (interesting story!), nikurashi hodo aishiteru (pretty good. 18+), still sick (pretty wholesome) and hana monogatari (OLD WOMEN YURI!!).

hope you enjoy! i read most of them on tachiyomi but since the app and most manga repost sites went down, i think you'd find these in scanlation groups.

Yesterday I apparently learned through the Bandai Namco Wiki that Xiaomu has an English voice actor (Amanda C. Miller)???

It's in here:

Alright I'll just say that there are no references and citations for that piece of information, so you can see where I'm going here:

This is 100% fake information.

Why, you ask? Because all of the games Xiaomu (And also Reiji) appeared in don't have English voiceovers. Not even in the English versions.

Their appearances were in:

Namco X Capcom

Endless Frontier and EF Exceed

Project X Zone 1 and 2

All of those games don't have English voiceovers. Only Japanese voiceovers.

So yeah. In conclusion: That info on the Bamco Wiki is fake information.

But...! On a lighter note, if a future Project X Zone game does have English voiceovers, I'd say that Xiaomu's English VA should be Eden Riegel (VA of Marie from Persona 4 Golden, May from Guilty Gear, Princess Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom, and both Genny and female Kana from the Fire Emblem series)

Also Reiji's English VA should be Chris Hackney (VA of Dimitri from FE3H and Renju from AITSF), just saying

[blastthechaos]

what are your otps?

Naejunko and Zarcray could be considered the main ones that aren't crossovers, there's also Knuxouge, Shadamy, Sasusaku, Gwevin, Sairuma, Hinatsumi, Flaminn, Ichiro Sato X Kana Kojima (and a few others from why the hell are you here teacher!?), Dislestia, Marcapoo, Chasriel, Frans, Rayshipping, Sonaze, Fuyuhiru and...quite a few others I can't recall of the top of my head or I can't be bothered to.

For the Crossover ones there's obviously STC Sonic X Sakuya Izayoi and STCO Sonic X Kasen Ibaraki, they're not the only crossover ships I have with that Sonic but they're the big ones, there's also Game/Sega Sonic X Twilight Sparkle and Reisen and a few others too, lastly there's Makoto Naegi X Storyshift Chara and Hina Kagiyama.

Aside from that, there's other Crossover ships I'm into but not enough to be OTP material.
