SM ROOKIE FORUM : DID Y/N LEAVE SM??

( november 2015 ) there's rumors that y/n has left sm, can anyone confirm this?? i'll be so upset if she did, she was my favorite rookie . . .

[ user 001 ] she hasn't posted on her blog in a while so i'm inclined to say she did 🙁

[ user 002 ] are you kidding me???? that's so fucking frustrating sm really knows how to disappoint

[ user 003 ] i go to school with her and can confirm she's been showing up to school more now. she's hasn't talked about her training recently when some younger girls ask, so i say its a tough subject for her right now.

[ banned user ] i heard she got kicked out and honestly she deserves it –  the k - pop industry isn't for someone as overhyped and untalented as her

[ user 004 ] wtf is wrong with you??

[ op ] don't be jealous you fucking werido

[ user 005 ] loser

[ user 006 ] i asked a friend who works at sm and they said she left because sm kept breaking promises on her debut.

[ op ] i hope she finds a new company and can debut in the future

[ user 006 ] they also said she's taking a break from training so who knows what the future will hold for her 🤷‍♀️

[ mod ynnova ] header for visual purposes, please imagine whoever you like instead.

i also looked up CREEK & RIVER Co. and these are the games they worked on according to the nintendo wiki

Had a random thought that TF One Megatron should just have a random Decepticon friend that isn’t one of the SSS trio

Like those three are his commanders, and he trusts them, but he also just has some other friend he hangs out with. Makes him feel less alone, even if he’s not really sure how they became friends

My brain says maybe it should be the second youngest member of the Decepticons before him

Kurumi Wendy

Character Expansion

I’ll admit as much as I like Kurumi, I feel like she is kind of underdeveloped even though she is suppose to be an important character and part of the main cast. So I wanted to expand her character more, along with adding informations to give her more depth. They will be referenced in my fics, but only briefly (and maybe gets overshadowed with the main stories that people may forget).

I used information from the game and interpreted them in my own perspective, or just made speculation of my own choices. You guys are free to use my speculations if you want to.

Her parents are workaholic who are busy a lot of the times in an isolated city where other businesses outside of Amaterasu may be overshadowed, hence why they don’t appear a lot. They also have a lot of trust in Kurumi to take care of herself, hence why she’s always out and about, especially when there may have been they probably would want her staying home (like the time she got nearly arrested and the fact four of her classmates died, yet she was still out and about freely the next day)

When Kurumi was younger, her grandfather would always look after her when her parents are busy, hence why she looks up to him so much and talks about him more than her own parents

Her grandfather was a retired detective, hence why Kurumi looks up to detectives so much to the point of looking to them as heroes, and some of the quotes she passed down like “finding the truth” and knowing so well about being a detective despite not being one

Aiko was Kurumi’s first and closest friend she made in Aetheria Academy. She was wary to befriend many of the students since most of their parents do work in Amaterasu, and she does not want to get caught as an informant.

After Aiko’s death, Kurumi actually became withdrawn from her other friends to the point the friendship faded away. It’s like she’s still friendly to everyone, but she doesn’t make close, personal relationships with them since she has been so focused on figuring out Aiko’s death

This is more of a headcanon, but I headcanon her (along with Yoshiko, Kurane, Waruna, Karen, and Aiko) to be 17-18 and in their senior years in high school

i adore the implication that the simple act of stepping onto circus premises forces you to become one of the clowns like some kind of unhinged eldritch horror thought up by someone in the 90s.

these tags are so funnyyyy

alright, great, new family member. That totally doesnt throw off my plans for tomorrow

"Claire Cao was only a senior in high school when she saw a vital need in her community — and filled it. 

In 2024, the teenager spent her time outside of school volunteering at Blanchet House, a Portland-based nonprofit that serves people experiencing homelessness through food donations, clothing drives, and mental health assistance programs. 

As she logged hours as a Blanchet House student ambassador, Cao soon realized how difficult it was for community members to keep track of shelter openings, rotating food service programs, and available mental health resources. 

“During one afternoon meal service, I met Dano, an unhoused man who shared his struggles with accessing basic services like food and shelter,” Cao said in a recent press release. 

“Left disconnected from essential services, Dano described his struggles of not knowing where to go or which shelters had available beds.”

Combining her love for technology, law, and public policy, Cao pulled available resources into a database and created the ShelterBridge app, which connects users to shelters and services in their area. 

“ShelterBridge wasn’t simply inspired by Dano — it was inspired by the realization that access to resources is a fundamental need that we, as a community, can do a better job of providing,” Cao emphasized. 

“I wanted to use my skills to build something that could bridge that gap, ensuring that no one falls through the cracks simply because they don’t know where to turn for help.”

In addition to linking users to services in their area, the app also has a rating system similar to Yelp. This system allows people to leave star ratings and reviews on shelters, food services, hotlines, and legal aid. 

The ratings not only help users differentiate between services in their area — but they also provide invaluable feedback to the nonprofits, organizations, and government programs that service them. 

“We've been asking for an app like this for a number of years now,” Scott Kerman, executive director of Blanchet House, told Portland news station KGW.

In mid-January, Cao won the 2024 Congressional App Challenge in Oregon’s First District for her work with ShelterBridge — outcompeting 12,682 student submissions. 

Since the app first launched, Cao and her growing ShelterBridge team — which includes enterprising high schoolers and college students from across the nation — have expanded services to California, Philadelphia, Seattle, Los Angeles, and North Carolina. 

“Claire and the team she’s working with deserve all the credit in the world because they're doing something that frankly nobody else has really stepped up to do,” Kerman said. 

“To have the kind of technology that we use every day with hotels and other kinds of reservations [to] help people get into safe, supportive and dignified shelter would be a game changer for our community.”

Although the app started as a class project, Cao said ShelterBridge’s success has far surpassed her expectations. 

“I do hope to keep it up,” she told Oregon outlet KOIN 6 News, as she looked ahead to college and beyond. “I’ve made a lot of efforts to expand it to other cities as well — and it’s something I can mostly do from a computer or my laptop at home.”

please please please buy my game-poems about this

i think that killing a dragon should have catastrophic nuclear-fallout level environmental consequences tbh. their blood should scorch and wither the earth with fire and poison, the toxic fumes released as they decay should choke the land and all nearby living creatures, and the entire landscape where they fell should be transformed into a blighted wasteland where bleached leviathan bones loom upwards out of the ground as a warning that can be seen from miles away, the boundary markers of an exclusion zone.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Trailer Analysis

Going strictly off of what we have seen so far, here are a number of observations that can be made.

First things first, the Miis have ears now. It also appears as though every Mii they have shown off so far has a hairstyle different to the vanilla Mii Maker hairstyles as well. A number of Miis present are also wearing makeup and have highlights in their hair, which probably indicates that the Miitopia Mii Maker will be returning (or some variation of it at least will be.)

The main focus of the trailer seems to be the activities a lot of the Miis are getting involved with, with a greatly expanded world for them to interact. Each Mii appears to have their own house instead of sharing an apartment. Presumably the color of each house is indicated by the Mii's favorite color.

Out of all the new locations visible so far, we have Mii News, the pawn shop, food mart, clothing store, and interior store. In addition to those, we have a new building called Quik Build, which we know nothing about. Though if I had to speculate, I assume this shop will be used for building houses or other things on the island, or something of that nature. No hat shop anymore it appears, instead it seems as if the clothing store will probably be combined with the hat shop.

A building named Tomoria and a lighthouse are also visible, I assume that Tomoria is the cafe. The lighthouse is an entirely new structure, which appears to just be a visitor location akin to the tower or the beach.

Now, besides all of this, I speculate there is a lot we have yet to see. For one thing, we still have no clue if gay marriage will be a thing in this game (or if marriage will be a thing at all, but it would be kind of ridiculous for them to just get rid of that suddenly). For another, design wise, this game definitely seems to be leaning down the same route as Animal Crossing New Horizons, and I believe it is a possibility that we may end up with the ability to customize or decorate our own islands in some form. The new building points to that potentially being a thing, but I suppose we won't know until we get more details. For now, we await more news before the 2026 release.

DAZZLING LIGHT Maxis-Match Eyes 2024 EXPANSION

...for friends, family and foes! Nah, but I'm serious, these eyes are literally for everyone and everything!

So, it's been years, and the Dazzling Light eyes still have a tight grip on me for my personal choice as default replacements, and because I still love them so much, I decided to expand them quite a bit.

Info follows under the cut. The full description can be found at the download link, which I really advise you to read if you need more details about the specific files.

➔ DOWNLOAD (Patreon FREE)

If you like, please consider to support my work 🖤 ● ALL MY CC DOWNLOADS

+ 21.01.25 UPDATE:

For additional info about these new swatches, you can find more @ the download link

The base eyes are available as default replacement, non default, facepaint and heterochromic options. All ages, all genders. Same goes for the new occult eyes.

I've added 45 new colors to the original palette of 18, which results in a total of 63 colors.

Also available are new DIY addons for a color ring detail and sclera changer, see some example swatches here:

The occult eyes are for aliens, vampires, mermaids and werewolves. For the vampire and werewolf swatches I've also made a custom emission map, which makes them glow real nicely in the dark!

Added default replacements for all of the animals & pets! ♡ Dog, cat and horse eyes can be manually changed in CAS.

I've also made replacements for every farm animal, which are available for the Cottage Living and Horse Ranch packs. Included are chickens (chicks, hens & roosters), cows, llamas, foxes, rabbits, wild birds, sheep and goats.

♡ Hope you enjoy the eyes!

Eat God playtest draft 0.5.0 is now available

Version 0.5.0 of Eat God brings several major changes, foremost among them a full rewrite of the Forms and Rebellious Arts, in a more structured and (hopefully!) more readable format than the previous wall-of-text presentation. This update also includes print-and-play cards (and corresponding VTT resources) for all Forms, Arts, and playset NPCs and locations. A full list of updates is available here, or under the cut below:

Download package now includes print-and-play cards for all Forms, Rebellious Arts, and playset and NPC locations

Revised introduction to provide a link to the new Form, Art, and playset cards

Expanded discussion of the mechanical effect of Traits

Forms and Rebellious Arts are now numerically indexed in their descriptions as well as in their lookup tables

One additional Form (bringing the total up to a full 36 for the first time!), and a full rewrite of all existing Forms

Full rewrite of all existing Rebellious Arts

Added discussion of how to handle resisting Stress when multiple God-eaters are affected by the same threat simultaneously

Small clarifications to activation timing for Rebellious Arts and what it means to "activate an Art in conjunction with a test"

Greatly expanded discussion of how to adjudicate Limit Breaks

Reformatted examples of Limit Break effects and added a few more examples

Random inventory table slightly revised to make its implicit milieu more consistent, and moved from the Inventory section to a separate appendix in preparation for adding multiple random inventory tables for different milieux

"Effect modifiers" renamed "impact modifiers" to avoid ambiguity with other uses of the word "effect"; relevant terminology throughout document revised accordingly

Simplified rules for how Forms influence impact penalties (formerly effect penalties)

Added first-pass rules for imposing temporary Traits upon NPCs

Added discussion of how cooperative tests work in the context of multiple God-eaters ganging up on a single NPC

Reformatted playset location/NPC/calamity tables for better readability

Added "Appendix B: Additional Tables"; right now this just contains the relocated starting inventory table (see above)

Latest Change Log

March brought a handful of noteworthy changes to AO3 in addition to the usual assortment of bug fixes and enhancements: we increased the maximum tag length from 100 to 150 characters, expanded the wrangling status options in tag search, and added the ability to have your invitation resent if it didn't arrive. Then we wrapped up the month with some changes to help combat an increase in spam, including spam checks on new users' comments and a rate limit on comments from all logged-in users.
