From the beginning | Previously | Coin standings | 5/18 | 2/7
The two of you flee to the HOLY TOWER, where you find the swarm of butterflies. As Adea asks about what's for sale, Walter points out that neither of them are talking in comprehensible language. Whatever communication is taking place, there's some unconscious layer to it, something obfuscating and translating intentions to make it seem like a conversation happened. He realizes it was happening to him, too. What does this fox-person on the other side think is happening, when they "talk"? Do they understand your predicament at all, or are they just selling wares to some mystery middleman?
Adea ruffles his feathers and calls him a nerd.

BEAT USER (1)
(One serving of BEAT USER restores one point of hunger, and you've got two mouths to feed. You'll need to stock up if you want to last very long! If you need more Coin than you've got available, there's a few options.
There are more than a few anagrams throughout the story that've yet to be solved. A quick sweep reveals thirty-two possible opportunities to earn additional Coin, though ~7-8 of them require information you don't have or are just too unfair to solve. I've gone through and marked unsolved anagrams in red!
Spending time decoding files uncovered by a WIFI ACCESS POINT is an efficient way of getting a lot of Coin at once. Right now, the only one installed is behind the monster, though...
It's not just main story posts that have unsolved anagrams. There's a whole bunch sitting right there in the Coin standings for the reaping!
Speaking of which, there's a few people who've earned Coin but haven't been spending it. If you need a little bit extra, why not decode their name and ask them for help?)
While you lick your wounds and pray for charity from the butterflies, you've got to come up with some sort of plan. But a plan for... what? You're so hungry, it's hard to be sure...
...well, obviously, you share two main objectives:
The mushroom kids these days just aren't cool enough. They're cool, sure, but they could always be RADDER YOUTH FUNGI. You both agree that's the main priority.
It's hard to find something to eat out in the wild west. HOWDY, A FAMINE! That famine came into town, and even though you greeted it politely, you'd like it gone.
Standing in the way of that are a few practical obstacles you'll need to come up with a way to deal with:
Most places only have a single thermostat. Those poor LONE THERMOSTATS need friends! If only you had some way to install more thermostats.
People just keep yapping on and on and on without accomplishing much. This PALAVER THEME needs to stop recurring, so you can get back on task.
You heard some owls earlier, but then YOU UNHEARD OWLS, so you can't remember what they said. Finding some way to re-hear those owls is important.
Lily here isn't wearing enough clothing. You've got to FULLY ROBE LILY- this wardrobe malfunction is downright scandalous! You don't want to be prudes, but it's really distracting.
And, of course, all of those objectives will be easier to achieve if you FIGHT THY RELIC so it's not getting in your face all the time with its archaeological and anthropological significance.
Got any ideas? Let's have a NO FEWER FARMERS segment.
NO FEWER FARMERS

I don't know how many people on here read (or did read) Pokemon Adventures, but do y'all remember the end of the FRLG arc? When Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow are fucking turned into stone and the arc just ends there?
I remember being in the fucking trenches when we were still waiting for a resolution to that. It took a few years I think, and the entire time I was so upset because "When will you help my friends :((((" (I was like 13 at this time lmao)
The payoff in the Emerald arc ends up being worth it but people who didn't have to wait in the trenches to see the Dex Holders survive their predicament don't know the pain the fandom was in lmao. I still vividly remember waiting for Coronis's monthly updates on the Serebii forums (Coronis was the resident manga expert who would update with summaries and pics from the latest chapter releases in Japan).

I just had the insane realization that you're probably the person I've known on the internet for the longest amount of time while still regularly interacting with (albeit through reblogging each other and stuff, but that still counts).
fucking wild man
Smalls!!!! God. I’ve known you and @densoro for… what, nearly 20 years? Definitely more than 15. Fucking wild indeed. I think the only other people I’ve interacted with for this long are my actual blood and bones family.
Here’s to another 20, if we can swing it! 🥂

Kimplausible - The Message Boards You Help Make
Hello! If you're unfamiliar with Kimplausible, this is the last post I made about it. The gimmick is simple, I can't add anything to this message board unless YOU tell me to. I can post, others can post, but I can't make any administrative changes unless YOU tell me to. No new categories, no new boards, no new changes unless YOU suggest it.
We started from a blank forum name, and now we're here:
(See for yourself here)
So now I ask you, what more should we add to these message boards?
Last time I asked about Ranks, a little title that changes the more posts you make. Our last non-serious suggestion was from @starzoomies who said we should make the ranks Jerma1 through Jerma985. A fun idea!
What do you think? What should we add to the messages boards? Lemme know, and we'll make those changes!

Just know this comment means the world to me on my Diluc x Ayato fic series on Ao3 🩵❤️ I hope I can bring another chapter soon! You may be happy to hear that there’s a 3rd in the works~ this time, they’ll be on vacation in Sumeru. An inn? A holiday cottage? A love hotel? Does Sumeru have love hotels? Probably…
I am sooo sorry I haven’t updated it, but if you’d like to read it thus far, you can below! 18+
Chapter 1: The Lord of Wet and the Pyro Princess
Chapter 2: Relaxation time
~~~~~~~~~~~
To be released, date uncertain, chapter 3: The Lounge
For now, here’s a short teaser!
Diluc traced the tip of his nails around and around on the surface of the bedsheet. He tilted his head and looked out of the window, seeing lush grass and a couple of shroomboars and suchlike wandering around in the meadow close by the cottage Ayato and rented out for them.
He slipped out of the bed they had shared the night before, still wearing a black silken, somewhat translucent, evening robe which slipped softly against his skin, and as it was relatively warm in Sumeru, this was probably reasonable clothing, considering he didn’t wish to have overheat.. not that he would probably be able to if Ayato was around.
The stool untouched, he sat upon it. The room owned a dressing table made of rich oak wood. It was carved with spirals and wooden flowers in the shape of the sweet flower, a common plant used for many healing dishes throughout Teyvat.
Holding his hands up to his cheeks and letting the tangles of his crimson hair spill down his his back, currently loose and cascading down around his shoulders and collar bone, some got caught up in his fingers as he squished the red strands between his fingertips as he got lost in thought.
