YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i have been going thru all my tumblr blogs & trying to remember the logins for them akakakakakakaaaa it would be great if some of blogs were my sideblogs on this account but then idk man...

[corisanna]

Your n approaching infinity fic is so good I am currently incapable of being normal about it but even so I must tell you how ardently I admire your writing and how I am currently writhing sobbing screaming into my pillow with joy over how good this entire fic is?!?! BECAUSE IT'S SO GOOD!?!? It's literally so great oh my god aaaaaa , I actually didn't connect with Homura that well when I watched the show but now she is my babygirl, my precious, my darling, my sweet little sister who must be protected and supported and cherished AND I AM SO ENDLESSLY GRATEFUL that Ichigo gets to do it on my behalf. It's so great. And the balances of badassery on both sides of the magical girl/shinigami divide is so well handled and I am just in awe I want to make like a madoka witch and eat it because I love it so much

Thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate them. (╥‿╥)♡

[obrien4321]

Oh, well that’s not good! May I ask what happened so I can try offer some support or even advice?

Err-- I don't... know what happened.

Lately I've been just... not waking up. Since it's mostly just me n' Lamb out here, it's not like anyone else is able to just get me back alive.

...

(I've been out for 5 days.)

(Lamb was literally-- it was-- fuck...)

[ricehuh]

[boopshoops]

Please welcome Yuu Shi as a limited time (fan)summon!

Upon Summon: You know, at first I thought I'd like this social, but now... Ah, forget it! I'm just tired. Shall we dance? I'll lead.

Groovification: ???

Set to Home: Stunning? I know.

Home Transition 1: R-Royal Sword Academy is here too? Ahaha.. no, no! That's... fine.

Home Transition 2: Did you see how many skin products Vil made Epel bring? Like, I get caring for yourself, I do the same, and it's VERY important... but... there's such thing as too much sometimes.

Home Transition 3: GRIM! Quit sneaking bites of food from the bakery! I can't keep paying for it! Haaa, when I get my hands on him...

Home, After Login: I spend ages getting myself all dolled up, only to end up in the middle of yet another catastrophe. Figures. I should be used to it at this point.

Home Transition/Groovification: ???

Tap Home 1: I admit, I worry about Deuce being paired up with Azul. It's like I'm babysitting my siblings all over again... but hey, he's a sweetheart. He gets a pass.

Tap Home 2: My mask? I know! It's so heavy, but I got to make sure no one recognizes me, right? It's not Yuu Shi tonight, it's just me!... and remember to keep that to yourself~

Tap Home 3: Trying to get all buddy buddy with Rollo is exhausting. He's such a drag, and that makes mirroring him a drag. Talking with him makes me feel like I'm taking a bite of aluminum.

Tap Home 4: Ahh... I'm getting all nostalgic. I remember when I learned how to ballroom dance at my old school back home... I much prefer contemporary. Not a fan.

Tap Home 5: QUIT- Oh! You! Q-Quit tugging on my sleeves like that. I had to rent this dress, you know, I don't exactly have the funds for it. Hmph... personal space, please.

Tap Home/Groovification: ???

Writing and art tag list! Just lmk if ya wanna be added @lowcallyfruity @cecilebutcher @skriblee-ksk @kitwasnothere @justm3di0cr3 @thehollowwriter

✨PART 1/2✨

Part 2/2

[the-worst-person-u-know]

i get people not being happy about the watcher move. i get people mourning that they can't afford to follow the guys rn. but actually wishing they would fail? hoping watcher employees are stressed and anxious? i don't think you actually like them, i think you just like having your whims catered to and you just see the guys as your funny little puppet friends.

i get that parasocial relationships are a...complex topic, particularly when a specific kind of content pretty much requires fostering that vibe. even when you know it's a real phenomenon, it's really easy to fall into the trap of, "these people are really cool/funny! i wish we were friends" (and tbf, i think a "friend crush" is still a *little* different bc i think most parasocial relationships make you think, "we ARE friends...or would be if we met.")

BUT. the flip side is forgetting that these guys are people, too. people who gotta make ends meet, particularly if they want to keep providing great content. people with families, bills, expenses, and yes even little treats. like, shit costs money and we can't accuse someone of greed or hope they fail and then pat ourselves on the back for being anti-capitalist or something. this move is a risk but also surely not an impulsive one, and the guys feel this is the right move both financially and creatively then you should hope they succeed!

and, ftr—i already signed up, and i've already sent out my login info to friends who aren't in a place rn to pay. support the guys if you can, but i think the bare minimum is not hoping they crash and burn.

Apropos of nothing

If you are the techiest person in the house (and for many of you, this is not techy at all), today is a good day to build a pihole thanks to Google's new TLDs.

For the record, this straight up stopped Dad from getting computer viruses when coupled with the Ublock browser extension, so I will volunteer my time to get you set up. We will find an evening and do a Zoom call. I am serious.

Prerequisities:

Before you start, this will be way way easier if your router has a magic way to:

Set static IP addresses

Set a custom DNS server

If you can't do this, I'm not saying you're stuck, but there's some non-obvious failure modes and maybe it's time to buy a better router.

Parts:

Raspberry Pi 4B. 2GB if you just want to set and forget, 8GB if you want to do more things on this than just your pihole (Coughs in a MarioKart box) -> https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/

Spare USB-C charger if you don't have one already. I'm a fan of https://www.amazon.com/Argon-USB-C-Power-Supply-Switch/dp/B0919CQKQ8/ myself

A microSD card at least UHS class 3 or better. 32 is fine for just a pihole, I have a 512 in some of mine that I use for more stuff. https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/raspberry-pi-microsd-cards

Some method of flashing the card if you don't have one (Some come with SD to micro-SD adapters, if not a USB to SD/micro-SD adapter is about $10 off Amazon)

If you really feel like going nuts, go buy yourself an Argon case and then very very carefully never ever install the software for the fan that does nothing. The value is entirely in having a big giant brick that is self-cooling. If you want to play MarioKart, I would consider this a requirement. https://www.amazon.com/Argon-Raspberry-Aluminum-Heatsink-Supports/dp/B07WP8WC3V

Setup:

Do yourself a favor and ignore all the signs telling you to go get Raspbian and instead go grab an ISO of Ubuntu 64-bit using RPi Imager. Because Raspbian cannot be upgraded across version WHY U DO THIS

Download Rpi Imager, plug the microSD card into your computer,

Other General Purpose OS -> Ubuntu -> Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

So now you have an operating system on an SD card.

Assemble the case if you bought one, plug in the SD card, power supply, ethernet cable if you have one or mouse and (mini) HDMI cable if you don't. If you bought that Argon case, you can just plug a keyboard (server OS means no mouse gang; In this house, we use the Command Line) and HDMI cable into the Pi. Turn it on.

Gaining access

The end state of this is that your pi is:

Connected to the internet by cable or wifi

You can SSH to it (Also not scary)

If you plugged in an ethernet cable, once it's done booting (1-2 minutes?), you should be able to ssh to "ubuntu@<the IP of the system>". Look it up in your router. It may make sense to give the static IP NOW to keep it stable.

If you've never used SSH before, I think the standard is Putty on Window or you can just open a terminal in Mac. (And if you know enough Linux to have a Linux computer, why are you reading this?)

If you didn't plug it in, and need to setup the wifi, there's magic incantations to attach it to the wifi and to be quite blunt, I forget what they are.

Your username is ubuntu, your password is ubuntu and then it will ask you to make a new password. If you know the meaning of the phrase "keypair-based access", it may make sense to run `ssh-copy-id` at this point in time.

Router settings (part 1)

Give your new Pi a static IP address, and reboot your pi (as simple as typing in `sudo reboot`).

Open a new SSH session to the pihole on the new address.

Installing pihole

Open up an SSH session and

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

This is interactive. Answer the questions

When it's done, on your other computer, navigate to <the ip>/admin

Login with the password you just set. Router settings part 2

Give your new Pi a static IP address then point your router at that address

Set the DNS servers to the static IP

Then ensure you're blocking something. Anything.

Then do what you want to do. You'll probably need to whitelist some sites, blacklist some more, but the main thing is going to be "Adding more list of bad sites". Reddit has some lists.

And... enjoy.

/But seriously, there's some stuff to do for maintenance and things. I wasn't joking about the pair setup.

SSR Vil Schonheit - Halloween Voice Lines

When Summoned: Are you prepared to sacrifice yourself to me? You should be honored that you can become one with my beauty.

Summon Line:��If I am to participate, I aim to bring about a quality that surpasses past Halloween events. Do try to keep up.

Groooovy!!: How unfortunate, there's nowhere left for you to run. Give up and resign yourself to me!

Home: My fangs will hold you captive.

Home Idle 1: The eternally beautiful vampire... It's the perfect costume theme for me, wouldn't you say?

Home Idle 2: It would be rather difficult to fix any possible disarray if I cannot see myself in a mirror. I may require Rook to check my appearance after each class.

Home Idle 3: The other night, while I was enjoying a glass of tomato juice, Epel saw me and let out a shriek. How rude.

Home Idle - Login: Trick or Treat! Oh, but it's not candy I'm after. What ever could the thing most coveted by vampires be, hm...? Fufufu.

Home Idle - Groovy: Even though it's Halloween, I hope you've not switched around your sleep schedule like a vampire. Do try not to stay up late so often.

Home Tap 1: I don't customarily carry candy around, so last year I fell victim to Lilia's tricks. It was truly overwhelming.

Home Tap 2: Always confirm that a parasol provides enough shade when choosing one. And of course, don't forget sunscreen.

Home Tap 3: Floyd has such beautiful skin. Well-moisturized skin like his allows for clean makeup application. You should also make sure to moisturize as well.

Home Tap 4: My actor father would come home every year on Halloween decked out in special makeup and costumes. Perhaps this well-placed enthusiasm runs in the family.

Home Tap 5: Even a single strand of hair out of place can make or break a photo. I wonder if I could ask you to re-set this for me?

Home Tap - Groovy: This cloak looks to have enough fabric to cover another person. If a scary ghost appears, shall I give you a place to hide?

Duo: [VIL]: No more time to fool around, Lilia. [LILIA]: Leave me to cover the rear, Vil.

Groovy: Let’s make some memories we’ll never forget! Say Cheese!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YUME AND ME! ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝🎉🎂

Here is Yume's groovy birthday card! Fun fact I drew this one first before the basic card one. This is half art/half edit. I wanted to make it look most like a card so I used some twst refences and had a lot of fun with it.

Yume and Leona's dynamic is very fun! I'll post Yume's birthday interview in a few days!

Voice lines and Duo magic under below:

Summon: Ah, I was waiting for you to show up. We can’t start the celebration without you!

Summon 2: *mimicking Idia’s voice* “Fuheehee, here comes the birthday boy～” Ah, sorry just an inside joke, haha.

Groovy: Let’s make some memories we’ll never forget! Say Cheese!

Set Home: Ready for the “surprise!” hehe!

Home Idle: Yuuta and Yuuhi made me a special pizza cake for my birthday! It’s so tasty, you have to try some!

Idle 2: Ruggie keeps bugging me to let him do chores for me today, but I don’t have anything I need done. All he needs to do is be there after all; that’s a friend's only real job on your birthday!

Idle 3: Deuce gave me a charm for my keys; it’s a matching set; look how cute it is!

Idle Groovy: Like my jacket? I designed it myself! It’s not completely Ignihyde, but not fully Ramshackle either. It belongs somewhere in the middle… like me! Hehe! *smiles*

Home Login: Wow this is a bigger party then I thought…hey, will you stay close to me for a bit…Thanks!

Tap: Phew~ Jamil just barely stopped Kalim from running a whole parade through here. Please Kalim, the introverted Ignihyde students would perish instantly!

Tap 2: Grim drew me a picture of the two of us together for my birthday. It’s getting the highest honors; right on the fridge!

Tap 3: Riddle gifted me an assortment of teas; we drank them together! They were way sweeter than I imagined.

Tap 4: Hm? Idia’s gift? Oh, we celebrated my birthday early last night, just the two of us!...HEY! Not like that! Don’t make that face! o///o 

Tap 5: *talking to self*...the origin of the idea came from ancient mages who used their powers to manifest their desires by using the power of the cosmos…” Hm…didn’t I read this before?…Huh! Oh! Sorry, I was just reading the book Leona gave me! It’s really interesting!

Tap Groovy: Instead of just fixing my glasses like a normal mage; Leona had Ruggie make me an eye glasses appointment to get a new prescription…I mean…I guess it's kinda nice? But still, I’ll have Trey or Idia fix my original pair.

Duo Magic

Yume: Here comes a big play; you ready, old man?

Leona: Heh, don’t fall behind, runt!

[ashipiko]

NIKO CIMARRON - SCHOOL-SIDE STAYCATION!

SUMMON LINE: I don’t usually host things… But I do like the feeling of being co-host here.

additional voicelines below!

GROOVY: Oi! Don’t forget that I’m considered responsible for this!

SET TO HOME SCREEN: This type of clothing is really nice~. Maybe I should start dressing like this normally.

HOME IDLE 1: Honestly, I don’t understand why every day at NRC isn’t like this. Oh, maybe I should make a complaint to the headmaster? I’m sure he’d listen~.

HOME IDLE 2: Hey, you. Yeah you. Don’t you want a pawpsicle? I promise they’re super refreshing, especially on a hot day like this. And, there’s a discount!

HOME IDLE 3: Do you need somethin’? …Hey, it’s not— It’s all a part of the job, right? I need to be hospitable and all.

HOME IDLE LOGIN: This badge here is pretty nifty and cute, I’ll be honest. So are these glasses. Gotta thank Ashi for supplying us with these— Though, it does make this feel like a real job.

HOME IDLE GROOVY: Couldn’t Cater have come to me earlier to take a picture? Before my ears and tail were all wet? Jeez… Watch your step, Carrots. I don’t want a hurting tail on top of being soaked.

HOME TAP 1: I’ve gotta admit, Atlan actually did his job pretty well. People don’t lie when they say that that guy can yap on and on about things unrelated to him. Heh.

HOME TAP 2: I saw Kalim and Jamil come over and they were the same as ever. Though, maybe I’ll ask Kalim if he can use his unique magic today… I know magic isn’t really supposed to be used, but it’d make my job a lot easier…

HOME TAP 3: If you keep bothering me while I’m on work duty, I’m gonna end up spraying you with the hose. Do you really want that, Carrots?

HOME TAP 4: It’s honestly insane how Ashi isn’t wearing an pair of shades too. She’s the one who’s always in the sun out of the three of us… I guess sunshine just cancels out on itself, huh?

HOME TAP 5: …! Oh, no wonder it just got so loud. The first years are at it again. Oh, to be young again~.

HOME TAP GROOVY: Now look at this, I’m all soaked with water— Say, at least you’ll take care of me if I get sick, won’t you? ♡
