A Crossover Poll Because Why Not: Which Shining Nikki Character Would Most Likely Spin/Team in Brawl Stars Showdown?

This video from CarnageGame explains what teaming in Brawl Stars is for those of you who don't know.

This video I uploaded onto tumblr is also another example of what teaming in Brawl Stars is (yeah, I will admit that I sometimes team/spin in Showdown, at least in higher trophy levels, though it is something that a lot of people in the game do.).

Chapter 3: Trainee's Punishment

Narrated by Chi Xiaoyu.

Narrator: Ah, why would I think of that painful memory again?

Narrator: Later, my mom had me apologize to Jiang Xitong. It was my fault, though...

Narrator: But she shouldn't have said such harsh stuff about things she doesn't appreciate.

Choose either "Should communicate more" or "Should try to collaborate."

If "communicate," ...

You: Maybe you should communicate more.

Narrator: No kidding! While I admit that she's really good and that I do want to add more traditional elements in my design...

Narrator: It's just impossible to communicate with her...

If "collaborate," ...

You: Maybe you can try to cooperate?

Narrator: No kidding! I don't think she is willing to. Although I do want to add more traditional elements in my design...

Narrator: But cooperation is just not in the picture...

--

Narrator: Let's talk about the flash mob event.

Narrator: That day, I meet Jiang Xitong, just when the music stops and I'm ready to go.

Jiang Xitong: How long are you gonna watch it?

Narrator: The museum staff have to go back with the imposing Xitong.

Narrator: Someone posts a video of our dance online. The clicks are said to double in a day in Miraland.

Narrator: That's the tremendous success of this plan! Many people are surprised to find another side of Cloud Empire.

Narrator: Well, you can't always have those traditional old clothes represent Cloud Empire!

Narrator: Even if Jiang Xitong is gonna fail me again and again, I will not admit defeat.

Narrator: But it turns out that I've counted my chickens before they hatched.

Narrator: The day following the flash mob event, I get called to the office by the head teacher.

Class Teacher: Chi Xiaoyu, can you not give me a hard time for just two days?

Chi Xiaoyu: What did I do? I swear, I haven't ditched a class lately! This semester, I passed all but one course!

Class Teacher: Principal will talk to you later.

Chi Xiaoyu: ...Principal???

Class Teacher: Principal is waiting for you in the office.

Narrator: I walk to Principal's office, butterflies in my pants. He shakes his head at the sigh of me.

Principal: Chi Xiaoyu...

Principal: The school received another letter of complaint again.

Principal: There have been complaints on your weird dance before the Cloud National Museum, for damaging the image of Cloudcrest.

Chi Xiaoyu: I did that... To break everyone's stereotype of Cloud and set a new trend! You said we would change Cloud!

Principal: Um, did I say that...

Principal: No, that's not the point. Now I have these letters of complaint on my desk.

Principal: The National Museum is the school's key collaboration, so the school has decided to give a punishment.

Principal: A month of internship at the Cloud Museum this vacation.

Principal: No pay. But this is a golden opportunity where you can learn from Professor Jiang about traditional culture and manners!

Chi Xiaoyu: You mean Jiang... Jiang Xitong???!

Narrator: I thought it'd be transcribing textbooks. I didn't know it'd be that "harsh"...

Narrator: It's going to be a very difficult month.

Choose either "Perhaps you'll become friends" or "You all like to design."

If "friends," ...

You: Maybe you can become friends?

Narrator: Stop pulling my leg. Becoming friends with Jiang Xitong, it's out of the picture.

If "design," ...

You: You're actually the same in terms of the passion for design.

Narrator: That being said... Well, I'll try and live in peace with her...

--

Narrator: However, this month might be not much better for Jiang Xitong, either...

guide to the dreamscape ☆ 2/2

[ivefallenforyouandicantgetup]

Look, I know I mostly post dndads stuff but I’m so fricking hyper fixated on Shining Nikki too-

I have so many of these stupid lil memes that I made mostly for myself, but I thought I might as well post them.

[federalstyle]

I really like Chi Xiaoyu's designs. They all feel related even if they aren't in a set. I'd like to know more about her.

From what I know about her, she seems to combine modern designs and classic designs, which is in defiance with the regular traditional style of Cloud Empire. The consistency of her love for Cloud Empire design and her desire for change is extremely compelling to me, even if she's just a side character. She's also an extremely good foil to Vermillion Snow, who is rejected by teachers as well for her unconventional designs.

Sn + animal/pet headcanons

growing up, Niki had a pet hamster named Bubbles

Marina’s favourite animals are actually rabbits. She’s always wanted one but never got one because she lived in the Ark for so long and because Aeon doesn’t think Marina is responsible enough for her own pet

Marina also compares Aeon to a turtle sometimes. “My Brother is like a turtle. He’s slow and boringgg. All he does is work in his lab all day. Not to mention turtles can live to be really old and Aeon is quite old”

Before the apple federation war, Loen and his family live on a small acreage outside a small town. While living there, they had a golden retriever puppy named Sal. The dog was quite literally, Loen’s best friend

Lolory has an old grey and white tabby cat named Storm

Vermillion Snow and Chi Xiaoyu’s school doesn’t allow any sort of pets or animals in the dorms, so they often go out to Cat cafes after classes to study and relax.

Chi Xiaoyu also takes Vermillion Snow to the Aquarium as a little date night on weekends

Yeeso has extremely bad fur allergies so you can’t have any fur pet of sorts but he was looking into buying a lizard or a snake because they don’t have fur (no shit) and also because he thought they looked badass

Modric has two ferrets named Captain and Perry

:)

[chixiaoyuuus]

i have a lot of thoughts about xiaoyu’s relationship with jiang xitong, but they can be well summed up by the osmathus dew reflection and this nail salon special customer:

Chapter 2: Private Teacher

Narrated by Chi Xiaoyu.

Narrator: A month ago, I started the preparation for this flash mob event.

Narrator: I set up a discussion group online with other girls who like to wear the improved Cloud style.

Chi Xiaoyu: So, it'll be the 10th of next month! Everyone will pretend to be passing by, and then suddenly assemble.

Participant: What's the location?

Chi Xiaoyu: Say, how about the square in front of the Cloud Museum?

Participant: The square is large, spacious, and very suitable for this project, but... will there be a problem?

Chi Xiaoyu: I don't think there will be. We're just going to be there for more people to see!

Narrator: Most importantly, Jiang Xitong will see this!

Narrator: Of course, I didn't say that out loud.

You: But why her?

Narrator: She's the one who failed me at the final oral defense two weeks ago!

Narrator: Besides, that's the sixth time she has failed me.

Narrator: Aaagh, I'm so mad! Why does the school always invite her as a guest judge?

Choose either "Didn't she like your design?" or "Did you do a poor design?"

If "like," ...

You: Is it because she doesn't like your design?

Narrator: She only likes designs copied from history textbooks. And the rest are all "plebeian and classically distorting"!

If "poor," ...

You: Is it because you didn't give a good enough design?

Narrator: It's not! Our class has a total of 24 students. 21 received a fail, all from her...

Narrator: The only person who got a high score designed a suit entirely in the ancient style.

--

Narrator: I'm not sad for how many times she failed me, after all...

Narrator: Those who walk at the forefront of the times are destined to be lonely.

Narrator: Oh, I almost forgot. It's her seventh time giving me a fail, starting from my high school...

Narrator: At that time, Jiang Xitong had not graduated from college.

Narrator: One day, my mother suddenly wanted me in the study.

Mom: Xiaoyu, Mom has specially found you a gentle, elegant, and well-learned tutor.

Mom: She's already the youngest National Museum expert consultant before graduation, and she's a great designer!

Chi Xiaoyu: Mom, I don't need remedial classes!

Mom: You don't want to do anything about your poor grades?

Chi Xiaoyu: That's... that's because everything the teacher says is so boring! It's no use learning those things!

Narrator: "Ding-dong" the doorbell rang before I could make a scene.

Mom: Must be your tutor. Don't you dilly-dally. Mind your manners before the tutor, you know that?

Narrator: The first time we met, Jiang Xitong was indeed a proper lady with classical temperament and a pretty look.

Narrator: Mom said Jiang Xitong was a great designer, so I kinda looked forward to her tutorials.

Narrator: But in just five minutes of classes...

Jiang Xitong: Year 246, Cloud calendar. What happened then?

Chi Xiaoyu: What?

Jiang Xitong: The Wardrobe Advisor system was set up, hence the Cloud design. You don't even know about that?

Chi Xiaoyu: Wh-what's the big deal? Internet will tell me that...

Jiang Xitong: Traditional culture is the basis of all design. If you don't build on the past, how do you use it in the design?

Narrator: Jiang Xitong pulled out a large pile of files from her bag and handed them to me.

Jiang Xitong: Memorize page 1 to 20 before next class.

Chi Xiaoyu: ...Huh?!

Narrator: Just as I try to recall the page number, Jiang Xitong spotted a design on my desk.

Narrator: Although I leapt over as quick as I could and put it away, she saw it.

Jiang Xitong: This is distortion of classics. It's downright plebeian.

Chi Xiaoyu: You! You don't understand!

Jiang Xitong: Next time, you may attend class in the studio. It's necessary to show you what the real design should be like.

Jiang Xitong: Now that I've been entrusted by your mother, I'll put you on the right track.

Jiang Xitong: Now, class time!

Chi Xiaoyu: ...

Narrator: After going through Jiang Xitong's class, I regretted wasting my time in school.

Choose either "Realized how wide the gap is?" or "Were you encouraged?"

If "realized," ...

You: You felt the gap between you and her?

If "encouraged," ...

You: Because you are inspired to study harder?

--

Narrator: Because her lesson was more boring than the lessons in school! Her catchphrase is "memorize"!

Narrator: A week later, my mother sent me to Jiang Xitong's design studio on time.

Jiang Xitong: You wait for me in the studio. I'll get the materials for class.

Narrator: Jiang Xitong's design studio was, as I imagined, filled with exhibition boards of paintings and costumes.

Narrator: The clothes she designed were the same as those worn by the ancients, lavish in patterns.

Narrator: Do you like her design?

Choose either "Looks good" or "Not good."

If "yes," ...

You: I think I fancy that.

Narrator: Anyway, I don't like the orthodox style, which is neither convenient nor comfortable to wear. Cloud has to change.

If "no," ...

You: I don't think I fancy that.

Narrator: And it's neither convenient nor comfortable to wear. Cloud needs to change because of its long history.

--

Narrator: While Jiang Xitong was away, an idea occurred to me...

Narrator: I quickly opened Xitong's design drawing, and made a great deal of changes.

Chi Xiaoyu: Well... Make the dress shorter, lest it touches the ground and renders running impossible.

Chi Xiaoyu: The patterns here are too lavish. Gonna remove a few...

Chi Xiaoyu: The cuffs are so tight and certainly inconvenient...

Jiang Xitong: ...What are you doing?

Narrator: I was so invested, I didn't know that Jiang Xitong had come back.

Chi Xiaoyu: Uh... I've changed your design a little bit. Tee-hee. How do you like it?

Narrator: Jiang Xitong seemed very pissed off.

Narrator: Acting cute seemed not to work...

Jiang Xitong: ...Please get out of here, immediately.

Chi Xiaoyu: Would you like to take another look?

Jiang Xitong: Get out!
