Whats your favorite volume/Arc of tbhk?

My favorite arc is the Sacrifice of the Grim Reaper arc, and all that happens as a result of it!! The Sunflower Troupe are all some of my favorite characters and that was really their time to shine. I also liked the development we saw for Kou and Nene during the Red House arc. I’ve analyzed chapter 69 so much that it might as well be my favorite chapter, I could probably recite it from memory by now. And ofc, Hakubo and Sumire are phenomenal characters. Damsel in distress Aoi is one of my favorite tropes and that was without a doubt her biggest moment. Aoi highkey carried that arc, it was so nice to finally get exploration for her character. We got so much lore from that arc too, imo it stands out among all the others

[redfoxwritesstuff]

Good morning! Or afternoon! Or evening!

Do you have other fics planned after misD? I actually really love your Vox stories and was wondering if you would write a long fic for Vox or Lucifer. I love MisD but I also re-read many of your Vox stories too. No pressure! I'm sorry if this isn't related to the lore drop 😔

No worries- I hadn't actually expected to trigger a massive lore dropping event? I'm... I'm not sure what happened and I'm sitting here crying over a mountain of asks lmao

So- I have a long dark Vox fic planned that's going to run connected to @redvexillum's upcomin Alastor fic, set in the same universe with some soulmate tones, some ABO tones, some sugar baby tones.

more below the cut..

I've got a Luci sex pollen fic to complete my collection with that troup.

I've got four fics planned for a lightly interconnected merman AU hitting Al, Luci, Vox and... all three at once. The return of the MerDicking.

I got two anon hate fics, one set with Vox in hell and one set with Al in life.

I've got a Al cucking his microphone which holds the soul of his assistant in life... with Micy's wife...

I've got a meeting smut with Vox...

I got a package delivery smut with Vox.

I got Al in rut.

I got Al with a sugar baby

I got soft Al smut

I got a smutty part two to Home with Vox

I got *a lot* of requests including a Luci selfcest, Vox loving pasta a little too much, Vox and reader in a movie theater, A Charlie x Val cursed one and many others.

I've also got a few Loki one shots for Marvel to do, in theory for Marvel I'll finish the second book for Dust sometime before I die.

And for Hiddleston I still got the second book for Sunflower.

Please send help. And coffee... What'll give out first, my fingers or my laptop?

LotDT: Episode 14 Summary

Previous Episode | Masterlist

In this episode, Su Yishui and his disciples investigate the soldiers' deaths near Wangxiang Pass. Su Yishui helps Xue Ranran with a performance and with drinking. The disciples confront the fish demon behind the deaths. Full summary under the cut.

The disciples go down the mountain to train for merits, but are confused about what to do since Su Yishui left without giving them instructions. Xi’er mentions that the Paired Wings Auspicious Cloud was around for half a day, which contradicts what Ranran saw. Ranran correctly guesses that Su Yishui deliberately dispersed the clouds to discourage her from confessing her feelings because he was also distracted by his feelings for her. She squeals in excitement, saying she still has a chance with him.

An unknown man inspects a blue crystal while saying that he will let Xue Ranran and Su Yishui get entangled with each other in order to find the Spirit Spring.

A man walks up to the disciples and asks if they can investigate the recent deaths of soldiers near the river. The disciples agree to help, but need to think of a reason they would be allowed into the military camp. They overhear an illusionist troupe talk about how they were invited to the camp, and decide to disguise themselves as the illusionists.

At the military camp, Su Yishui inspects the compass and decides to consult the Earth Immortal in the area about the demonic energy. Meanwhile, the disciples infiltrate the camp and investigate the morgue. They find that the corpses have scratches on them that have demonic energy. Ranran uses the Seeing Sunflower to see what the soldiers saw before death. In the vision, the soldier walks into the river and eats some fish that start bubbling up. A large demonic cat-like creature rushes toward him.

Ranran asks Gao Cang if he knows of any demonic beasts because his hometown is not far from Wangxiang Pass. He explains that a Death Realm formed in the area due to evil energy from the netherworld and constant warfare. As a result, livestock can’t be raised and the only meat available is fish. Therefore, he thinks there shouldn’t be a demonic beast like Ranran described. Ranran notes that the beast seemed like a cat, and might be hiding in the camp.

Su Yishui uses a drop of blood to summon the Earth Immortal. It turns out to be the same Earth Immortal that Su Yishui and Mu Qingge met years ago. He recognizes Su Yishui and tries to run away, but Su Yishui traps him. Meanwhile, Ranran and Xi’er notice the powerful earth energy, and ask some soldiers to come with them to catch the demon. Su Yishui uses the Spirit Dispelling Formation, which has a subordinate position and a master position, to try to force the Earth Immortal to help him. However, Ranran suddenly runs into the formation, and the Earth Immortal swaps the positions so that Ranran is the master and Su Yishui is the subordinate.

The soldiers mistake Su Yishui for a “pretty boy” demon and prepare to capture him, but Ranran clears up the misunderstanding by claiming that he is part of their illusionist troupe. Qin Xuanjiu walks up and dismisses the soldiers. Ranran tells him about their investigation into the murders, but Su Yishui says they should stop investigating and leave. Ranran refuses to leave, and Su Yishui is unexpectedly deferential thanks to the effects of the formation. Ranran takes advantage of this to tease him a bit, which entertains Qin Xuanjiu, so he decides to let her stay.

They compare the demonic energy from the corpses to the energy from the compass and find that it’s the same. Ranran asks Qin Xuanjiu if there are any cats in the camp, and he says that he picked up a stray cat, Coal. Qin Xuanjiu also has scratches on his hand from Coal. Bai Baishan and Gao Cang run up and tell Ranran that they need to perform illusions now.

A crowd of soldiers is eagerly waiting for their illusion performance. Ranran has the soldiers raise their hands, and notices that all of them have cat scratches. She summons a peach blossom branch for her performance, but it stops producing petals because Ranran doesn’t have enough spiritual power. Suddenly, Su Yishui walks over while playing the flute, causing the peach blossom to grow dramatically. The soldiers are all impressed by the performance. Su Yishui and Ranran exchange a happy glance.

At night, a banquet is arranged for the soldiers so that Ranran can talk to them and investigate the case. Ranran plays a round of Immortal Master cards with some soldiers, where they compare the ranks of famous Immortal Masters. One of the soldiers draws a Su Yishui card, and claims that none of the four major Heavenly sects can match him. Ranran turns to see Su Yishui’s reaction. She draws a Mu Qingge card and wins the game.

Ranran asks about any strange occurrences. She learns that all the soldiers on patrol come from the Elite Armored Guard. Some other soldiers come up to Ranran, flirt with her, and invite her to drink with them. Su Yishui angrily knocks them to the ground, and Ranran tries to apologize by having one drink with them. Su Yishui drinks it in her place and falls unconscious against her forehead.

Meanwhile, Wei Jiu watches the camp from afar and notes that Su Yishui came in a rush as soon as he stirred up the Spirit Spring.

After the banquet, Qin Xuanjiu tells the disciples to stay at an inn. Because Su Yishui is still unconscious, Ranran uses a spell to make him walk. Qin Xuanjiu takes them to the inn run by his godmother, Madam Wu. He mentions that Su Yishui left Mount Wester in a hurry.

Inside the inn, Ranran wonders if Su Yishui knows about her feelings and rushed to avoid her. She puts a branch of peach blossoms on him, and he suddenly wakes up. Ranran tries to convince Su Yishui to let her stay and investigate the case. Using the Spirit Dispelling Charm, she forces him to eat the almond crackers she made. She explains that she tried to make it according to his tastes. Su Yishui allows her to stay until the formation loses its effect.

Ranran asks if the Earth Immortal recognized her because of her past life, but Su Yishui refuses to give her any details. She tells Su Yishui that she saw that Ling Xiao’s owner seemed like he was going to kill her, and Su Yishui silently thinks that her memories are starting to be recovered. Ranran asks if she was a bad person in her past life, and Su Yishui insists that she was very good.

Qin Xuanjiu and Xi’er enter the room. Ranran asks Qin Xuanjiu if his cat has an injured paw because she noticed the strange scratch marks on all the soldiers, and he confirms it. She tells him that the dead soldiers also had similar scratch marks, suggesting that the demonic beast also has an injured paw. Qin Xuanjiu is upset and claims Coal would never harm anyone. Su Yishui tells him that becoming a demon and harming people are not the same thing. Ranran gives Qin Xuanjiu a demon-revealing talisman to stick on Coal to check their assumption.

Ranran explains to Xi’er that she used the peach blossom petals during the performance to put a spirit-tracking talisman on all the soldiers so that they can catch the demon if it tries to control any of them. Su Yishui leaves and goes to the riverside. He notices that there is resentment in the river.

Qin Xuanjiu uses the demon-revealing talisman on Coal and discovers that it is indeed the demonic beast that Ranran saw in the dead soldier’s memory. He goes looking for Su Yishui at the inn, but the disciples tell him that their master is out. Madam Wu gives them buns for breakfast, and Qin Xuanjiu says that all the soldiers love to eat her buns. Everyone except for Ranran eats the buns.

Ranran asks why Madam Wu is Qin Xuanjiu’s godmother. He explains that her son was one of his comrades and died on patrol. He asks Ranran about the demon-revealing talisman, and Ranran says that while Coal is definitely a demon, it doesn’t seem like a harmful monster. She says they need to wait for her spirit-tracking talisman to be activated.

After sunset, the spirit-tracking talisman is finally activated and the disciples rush to the riverside. They find the possessed soldier walking toward the water and Bai Baishan knocks him out. Everyone except Ranran starts to hear a strange sound in their heads. The cat demon starts to approach and Bai Baishan tells Ranran to stop it with a formation, but Ranran notices something is off. A bunch of fish rush out of the water toward them, and they use the formation to stop the fish attack. However, everyone but Ranran gets possessed and starts walking toward the river.

Ranran knocks the disciples out and uses her peach blossom branch to stop the fish. She notices that the branch has Su Yishui’s spiritual power, and a brief flashback reveals that he infused it with his power back at the inn. Elsewhere, Su Yishui notices that the resentment went toward Ranran. A fish demon lady comes out of the water and attacks Ranran. Ranran uses the One Qi to Break the Galaxy technique that she saw in Ling Xiao’s memories, causing the demon to retreat.

Meanwhile, Mu Ranwu is sitting in a carriage and suddenly spits up blood. She realizes that someone must have used the One Qi to Break the Galaxy technique to extract her spiritual power, and that Mu Qingge must still be alive.

Su Yishui helps Ranran recover from using the technique. He tells her that before forming a Golden Core, using that technique to borrow external power will hurt herself, and asks her not to tell anyone about the memories she sees from Ling Xiao. The other disciples wake up and ask about what happened. Bai Baishan says that a half-human half-fish demon shouldn’t exist. Su Yishui tells the disciples that the fish monster has resentment, not demonic energy. Ranran confirms that the cat demon was trying to wake up the possessed soldiers to save them.

Su Yishui removes the resentment from the three disciples. They wonder why Ranran wasn’t affected, and realize the only difference is that she didn’t eat Madam Wu’s buns. They wake up the soldier who was possessed and ask him if anyone from the Elite Armored Guard is still alive. He tells them that the only one left is Qin Xuanjiu.

❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁

Igawa: So it's Nakatsu this year... Tenma?

Tenma: ——Was I sleeping?

Igawa: I had been replying to inquiries about your schedule just now, so I thought it was fine to let you sleep for a few minutes.

Tenma: That so.

Igawa: Don't you feel like you're overworked?

Igawa: Since leaving the dormitory, in addition to dramas and commercials, you have been actively appearing on variety shows, which you had never done before.

Igawa: I was thinking it'd be okay if Tenma wanted to do it, but I think you're trying too hard.

Tenma: ...

Igawa: Can I know the reason why?

Staff: Sorry I made you wait. Let's get started with the interview.

Tenma: No worries. Let's do this.

Igawa: ...

Interviewer: First of all, please tell us any highlights about the drama you are starring in this time.

Tenma: Well...

Interviewer: Thank you.

Interviewer: Over the past few years, you have been steadily improving your skills, and your reputation both inside and outside the industry has skyrocketed.

Tenma: ...Thank you.

Interviewer: What do you think are the reasons behind this?

Tenma: ...

Tenma: I'm glad I got to take the stage with you guys.

Tenma: You're all really special to me. I like to think of all of you as... friends, even.

Kazunari: Aww, Tenten...

Tenma: Kazunari, I scoffed when you called me a friend, but deep down, I was really happy.

Tenma: I'm sorry for calling you shallow at training camp.

Kazunari: Hey, you don't have to... Listen, it's cool, I forgot all about it.

Tenma: I want to put on the best show yet for our last one. The best possible play, one that only we can deliver in this moment.

Tenma: Will you follow my lead?

Yuki: ...Of course we will.

Muku: Absolutely!

Kazunari: We'll knock it out of the park!

Misumi: I'm with you, Tenma!

Tenma: Okay. Group huddle.

 Tenma: Summer Troupe spirit!

Summer Troupe: Yeah!

Kazunari: There's a lot of Tenten!

Misumi: It's the art of shadow doppelganger~!

Kumon: I feel like I'm gonna be hidden if we take pics together!

Tenma: The heck does that mean?

Kazunari: Because you see, sunflowers are like Tenten, right?

Misumi: Yup yup!

Tenma: ——.

Yuki: Even his strong assertion is just like the sunflowers'.

Izumi: He's vigorous and will grow towards the sun with all his might, right?

Muku: See?

Tenma: ...

Yuki: You know this kind of place well, huh, Muku.

Muku: Ah, about that—

Kazunari: Say, do you have any idea where this sunflower field ends?

Misumi: I can't see the end at all.

Kumon: I wonder how far we can go.

Tenma: Who knows—

Misumi: Let's go check it out!

Kazunari: Let's go!

Tenma: ?!

Kumon: I wanna know if there's anything ahead!

Yuki: I've got no choice, then.

Izumi: I'll stay and watch our stuff here. You can go.

Muku: Come on, Tenma! Let's go!

Tenma: ...It's all thanks to MANKAI Company.

Interviewer: As expected, your involvement with the theater company is very important to you.

Tenma: I have always lived in the world of acting.

Tenma: I have worked with many actors, appeared in many

productions, and played many roles.

Tenma: So I had confidence in myself as an actor, and all I wanted to do was show off all that confidence in theater.

Tenma: However, the world of theater was not that kind.

Tenma: I want to get better at acting. I can still go to greater heights.

Tenma: It was a place that taught me that every time I step on stage, that it's not the end, and that what I'm aiming for is as endless as the sky.

Tenma: That's why I—

Staff: ——Excuse me, it's almost time.

Interviewer: Thank you for giving me your time today.

Tenma: Thank you very much.

Tenma: ...

Igawa: I think we should pass on your upcoming variety show appearance after all. I'll send them the message now.

Tenma: No, I'll do it.

Igawa: But...

Tenma: ...

Tenma: Huh? There's a postcard on the table.

Igawa: Ah, it seems that Mr. Sumeragi left it here earlier.

Tenma: Dad did?

Tenma: ...It's from Sakuya.

Sakuya: "Right now, I'm traveling around, and I saw a variety show that Tenma appeared on at the hotel I was staying at.''

Sakuya: "Even though there are only local programs showing, I'm happy to see Tenma on TV so much!''

Sakuya: “Even if I am by myself, I won’t feel lonely anymore.”

Tenma: Heh.

Sakuya: "When you won the showdown corner, I couldn't help but pump my fists. The sight of Tenma holding the trophy was so cool.''

Tenma: Trophy...

Tenma: ...

Tenma: The reason why I started actively appearing on variety shows that I hadn't appeared in before was because I wanted to be able to participate in the next Summer Troupe play with them.

Tenma: Even when I was being interviewed, my daily life at MANKAI Company was running through my mind.

Tenma: Every time I perform with the Summer Troupe, and every time I watch other members' plays, I feel like I'm still not good enough, and that I can reach even greater heights.

Tenma: It's not like that yet, but what should we aim for? I can feel your hands on my back pushing me as high as the sky.

Tenma: You can't stop when you're there. That's why I'm standing on that stage.

Tenma: Besides... I have to show them when I get the trophy for Best Actor.

Tenma: (I still can't reach it even if I reach out. But if I stand on that stage, I'm sure it will reach me...)

Tenma: Director, I found it. The meaning of me standing on the stage—

[beifong-brainrot]

Silly little Weilin headcanons because I'd die for the dumb rock boyfriends:

Zaofu is a pretty liberal place, so Wei is openly gay. In my head he had a big crush on Bolin since Bolin first came to Zaofu.

Bolin was a closeted bisexual who thought it was very normal straight guy friend behaviour to wanna passionately kiss the homies on the lips with tongue.

Wei can dance and him and Wing are part of their mother's dance troupe. He likes to teach Bolin different dances and they have a lot of fun doing that.

Bolin likes to be chivalrous and act gentlemanly like opening doors and kissing the back of Wei's hand. Wei will roll his eyes and call him cheesy but secretly enjoy it

They LOVE to work out together

Both being super competitive, they love to spar and race and stuff.

Bolin talks a lot and likes to ramble. Wei likes to sit and listen.

Wei has ridiculously big arsenal of 'that's hot' jokes and innuendos for when Bolin lavabends

Big on physical affection. If they're in the same room they're almost always cuddling or holding hands or smth. Definitely that annoying couple that is super touchy feely with one another.

LITTLE SPOON BOLIN. Wei just hangs off him like a backpack. It's awkward, but Bolin enjoys being held and Wei enjoys holding Bolin. His arm does fall asleep almost every day, because Bolin is HEAVY.

Wei is one of those annoying health nut people. He wakes up at the ass crack of dawn to go jogging. Bolin is not a fan of this arrangement. He complains and tries to keep Wei in bed and get him to cuddle.

Wei prefers to eat more healthy food, but wil occasionally steal sweets and the like from Bolin's plate. Bolin has learnt to take extra of the stuff he knows Wei likes.

Pabu likes to steal Wei's shiny jewellery and hoard it. Wei lets Bolin choose which jewellery he should wear for the day. Bolin takes this job very seriously.

Bolin is a good cook. Wei can only cook if given very clear and slow step by step instructions. The only reason he's even allowed in the kitchen is because metalbending makes things go faster. [If you can't use your metalbender boyfriend as a blender what's even the point of anything]

Despite Wei's ineptitude, they love cooking toghether. Though often cooking toghether is just codeword for making out on top of the counter while the food burns.

Bolin's a plant dad. He has a lot of plants and gives them funny names. He started collecting them after Wei once gave him a potted sunflower. No one had gotten Bolin flowers before and maybe he cried a little.

Wei collects crystals and cool rocks. Idk what else to say. His mom collects meteorites. Bolin will often give him cool little pieces of magma rock or other cool lookkng rocks he found or stuff like that.

I feel they'd both want to get married. They would both get an engagement ring for the other without the other knowing.

Bolin Beifong has a very nice ring to it, don't it?

Between Bolin knowing what it's like to be an orphan and Wei having grown up in a big family, I can see them adopting a lot of kids. Though I can also imagine Wei being hesitant to have kids, due to the whole Baatar Jr and Kuvira thing.

That's all for now, i think i might write some more later. This ship needs more content.

[cyanoscarlet]

Actors/Behind the Scenes AU, in which FF16 is a duo/trilogy of movies, and the characters are actors in said movie -

Headcanons that inspired Peppermint and Chocolate Chip (aka, that one Actress!Benedikta fic).

Outside of FF16, Clive is a dork. A quiet but nice guy who likes games. He’s a fan of the FF franchise, and his fave is FF8. (Inspired by Ben Starr talking about his FF experiences. Also I'm projecting.)

Joshua’s two actors are totally attached at the hip. They’re not related but everyone is astounded at the resemblance, no wigs were needed even! And Adult!Joshua adores Kid!Joshua and protects his mini-me with his life. (I'm actually thinking of them both having Joshua as a middle name! Something like Andre Joshua and Allen Joshua. Btw, Adult!Joshua is Clive's actual brother.)

Jill is an indie pop singer. Sometimes busks. She loves everybody! She baked sugar cookies for the cast and crew once. She still burns the oven sometimes, though. Also she takes up kendo to improve her stage action scenes but tells no one of her rank because it’ll scare them (and they’ll make her teach everyone else on set, and that’s a pain). Her favorite FF is 10...... 2.

Benedikta is actually an awkward bean. She IS the hottest thing right now, an it-girl if you will. But she IS an awkward bean off-set, and reality shows exploit this for all they can. Oh, and she’s a big eater. -> This is what became the actual Benna fic

Hugo’s a comedian, actually. He’s also an amazing cook. He and Benedikta get along well. They’re cool besties. He often invites her to his YouTube channel to cook for her.

Barnabas Tharmr: A-list actor. Everyone’s beloved leading man. Very versatile, hot, in-demand. He’s perfect, oh, and he sings too. Confusing af love life. -> Referenced in the Benna fic

Dion’s probably following in Barnabas’ footsteps career-wise. That recent boy-next-door role he played had all the teenage girls want him as a boyfriend. They don’t know that he takes cues from real-life experience, and a real-life boy-next-door that captured his heart. 👀

Oh, Cidolfus Telamon: where to begin? Also another A-list actor, like Barnabas. Action films are his specialty, although you also see him in heavy dramas. All his works are guaranteed hits, no questions asked. His relationship with Barnabas, although professional, currently leaves much to be desired. Rumors abound that he used to have a thing with Benedikta, although both sides deny it. Also The Original Troll on set. He's fun to have on talk shows, but that's only when he feels like showing up.

Terence is Dion's best friend from theater. The original boy-next-door, and Dion's real-life partner. Knows just enough pop culture to get by, so he doesn't understand how he got this role, but if anything good comes out of this it's getting to work alongside Dion again. Greagor knows how long ago their last production together was ever since his love shot to fame on TV/Film. (Oh, if only he knew who suggested him to the director, because "he's good at his craft." 👀)

Sleipnir's that one cocky archetype co-actor you usually see in these kinds of cast ensembles. He's actually nice, though! Just innocently insensitive at times. Terence hates him with a passion, but Sleipnir likes to believe they're Vitriolic Best Buds. (And they actually are. Dion agrees but doesn't dare say it to his bf's face.) He's a horrible troll, just like Cid.

Jote's an adorable Tonberry rookie actress! She briefly had ensemble/swing stints in another theater troupe (Adult!Joshua's, actually), before landing this role. She loves posting pictures of sunflowers. Laments her dark clothes. Looks up to Benedikta despite their only scene together being a violent one. -> Referenced in the Benna fic.

There MAY be a part 2 of these headcanons. If I feel inspired, maybe even an actual fic featuring another character in the same vein as the Benedikta one. Will probably make it an AO3 series when that happens!

Natsu-Mon! 20th Century Summer Vacation details neighboring town, transportation, fortunes, and pig care

Gematsu Source

Publisher Spike Chunsoft, and developers Millennium Kitchen and Toybox have released new information and screenshots for summer vacation adventure game Natsu-Mon! 20th Century Summer Vacation introducing the neighboring town of Tonari, transportation methods, fortunes, and pig care.

Get the details below.

■ Yomogi’s Neighbor Town: Tonari

The next town over from Yomogi is Tonari (which translates to “Neighbor”). Tonari is known for its sights and has a plenty of interesting places such as a clock tower and newspaper company. Inside the clocktower is a local museum-like exhibit where you can learn the history of the Tonari and Yomogi area.

There is also a sunflower field on the route between Yomogi and Tonari. While the bus or train is a convenient method of transportation between the two towns, walking can also be a good option.

■ The Residents of Tonari

Chiharu Momoyama (voiced by Rie Hikisaka)

A junior high school student who volunteers as a guide at the clock tower.

Hideto (voiced by Shouya Chiba)

A reporter for the Tonari newspaper company always looking for his next story.

■ Transportation

This game is set across large areas, including the towns of Yomogi and Tonari. Since it may be difficult to travel by foot all the time, it is recommended to use convenient public transportation methods such as the train or bus.

Bus

You can ride the bus with cash or a ticket. If you have a ticket, you can board the bus from anywhere without going to a bus stop. The destinations that you can select are limited to the bus stops registered in your “Destinations List,” so it is important to add new bus stops to your Destinations List whenever you come across one.

Portable Toilets

Portable toilets can be found at construction sites and the like. By entering one, you are somehow instantly transported to the bathroom at the Ashitaba Lodge where you are staying for the summer. How it works is unknown, but it is convenient for when you want to get back home in a hurry.

Gliding

After you obtain a certain item, you will be even able to glide through the air.

■ Love’s Fortunes

Love, one of the circus troupe members, reads fortunes for fun, and if you visit her room, she can read your fortune for the day. Your fortune will tell you where something is likely to happen that day.

■ Taking Care of the Pigs

The priest at the shrine takes care of the pigs behind the shrine, but every so often the pigs will escape. If you find a pig in town, you can keep it safe to help out the priest, and learn how to take care of the pigs yourself. You can also feed the pigs acorns (their favorite food).

Natsu-Mon! 20th Century Summer Vacation is due out for Switch on July 28 in Japan. Read more about the game here, here, here, and here.

~The Flower Troupe Territory + Culture~

The Flower Troupe, a previously-roaming group of cats who worship Veraia, a flower spirit, live in a camp on top of the cliffs. Their camp was planted by them as an offering to Veraia. It is surrounded by sunflowers and the lower walls are ‘blue tit’ rhododendron and dwarf chenille. The ground is covered in creeping potentilla. The cats all wear flowers in their fur and sleep in a large pile in the center. The Potato, Barnacle, and their kits sleep on the outside so they aren’t squished. The Troupe takes in cats from all origins, and some of the cats used to be of the Courts before they left to pursue their new lives.

The cats of the Flower Troupe are welcoming to outsiders. They accept them no matter their reasoning for joining. The Flower Troupe never exiles cats, as that would go against Veraia's wishes. They also allow cats to leave if they wish, and gently encourage leaving but don't force if a cat grows out of belief in Veraia. They are kind no matter what and don't force any cat living with them to believe, but do ask them to join them in ceremonies.

[ID taken from alt: A crowded page of various characters of Ace Attorney, though lacking facial features save for their mouths, with the intention of practicing different body types. Starting with the left corner, Shih-na in black and red underwear leans over and pulls sheer tights over her thigh, symbols of annoyance popping up to her left. She is drawn as a post-operation trans woman, with freckles and broad shoulders, stretch marks on her thigh, wearing lipstick. To the right, Daryan Crescend reclines while shirtless, phone held up to his ear and a disgruntled expression with sharp teeth. He has a defined body type, covered in hair across his arms, chest, and legs, a shark tattoo on his lower stomach; his boxers appear like a shark’s mouth, with teeth at the ends. Over his head floats doodles of a sleepy chibi Klavier with a question mark, and Daryan replies with an X. Next, Lana stands in profile with her head lowered as she gazes at the prosecutor’s badge in her hand. She is black, with straightened brown hair and arm hair, wearing a red bra and matching underwear. In the right corner, Juniper shyly tucks a bit of braided hair behind her ear with a smile, wearing a lacy green and yellow bra and bead bracelets. She is drawn with light brown skin and fat with a double chin, hair on her stomach and arms. Sunflowers appear behind her. Back to the left, fat and trans woman Miles Edgeworth rubs her eyes beneath her glasses, grey hair with silver streaks growing out down to her chest. She wears a black tube top bra and red Signal Samurai boxers, hair on her chest and stomach, moles dotting her chin and arms and stretch marks around her waist. Beneath her arm is a doodle of borzoi Pess pleading for a treat. Shirtless Valant Gramarye leans over, a black man with loose curly hair, silver streaks and body hair marking his chest and arms. He’s extremely thin, with visible cheekbones, ribs, and pelvis. In the right, Franziska von Karma leans back and raises her muscular arms to reveal dark hair in her armpits, dark roots growing into her blue hair. She has broad shoulders but a thinner waist, and wears a dark bra and matching lace underwear, making a question mark as chibis of Maya Fey, Ema Skye, Kay Faraday, and Regina Berry all look up pleadingly, touching their fingers together. Trucy Wright curls up in the fetal position, clutching a plushie of Mister Hat, Z’s trailing downwards. She is black, with light freckles, wearing a blue silk bonnet with a bow and dark grey Troupe Gramarye t-shirt. On her thighs are thin leg hair and cellulite. An extremely thin Sebasastian deBeste shivers and clutches his arms as he sits up in bed, wearing only navy boxers. Freckles dot his face and arms, burn scars on his arms and torso. Godot stands in profile and clutches his head with a small groan, other hand loosely holding a mug reading “Don’t Talk to Me” with coffee falling out. Brown, with muscled arms and fat stomach, top scars beneath his chest and a scar over his nose bridge, stretch marks around his waist. Dark brown roots grow back into his grey hair, body hair covering his arms and torso. He wears striped green and red boxers. Finally, at the bottom, transfeminine Larry Butz lies down with head propped in their hand, loudly open-mouth snoring while the other hand rests on their waist. They maintain their goatee and wear their long hair in a bun, with a black bra beneath a t-shirt of Phoenix clutching his head, text reading “Unemployed.” It rides up to partially reveal their stomach, and orange shorts. They have body hair on their arms, stomach, and legs. And in the bottom-right corner, trans woman Kristoph Gavin stands and quietly smokes a cigarette, blonde hair spilling in curls around her shoulders. She wears star earrings and a black lace bra with rose embroidery, periwinkle shirt wrapped around her waist over black underwear. End ID.]

sunflower seeds w azuma for the herb ask game!!

~ @carrotscorner

ty for sending!! i had to think real hard about this one

i think i have to go with that scene in hotel compass where azuma takes the rest of winter troupe to the plot his childhood home was built on. that entire story gutted me, but that scene specifically just. REALLY hit me. the other members acting out how azumas daily life was while he recounts the mundane little things he remembers about it even though there isn't even a house there anymore, like a little reminder that even though his family isn't there anymore, he still has precious memories of them that he doesn't wanna let go of, even if it hurts to remember. it's reassurance that he's not alone anymore, that he has a family to come home to again. it shows how he's slowly learning to lean on others when he needs support instead of bottling it up and drinking it down like he usually does.

I am gay and so are they

I decree it therefore it is true

I spent too long on this

[moonlightsrandomstuff]

It's... actually it's 2 songs particularly despite the fact I honestly like every character song and I think they are very fitting for each character. But my most favourites are Minority and Sunflowers

Minority: Yuki's first solo was the most devastating heartbreaking song I could ever hear as someone who was just starting a3 as a Yuki stan (and I am still one!). This song showed me a side of Yuki I didn't expect at the time and it's a song that resonates with my own life so strongly that it made me cry on multiple occasions. When you listen to it with Tailor Tailor you can see how much Yuki changed once he was no longer alone and he had friends he could count on… it really makes me think a lot

Sunflowers: Tenma’s 2nd solo is an emotional roller coaster, it really shows his development through the years and if you listen to it after reading act 10 you can sense a connection. The way he wishes to go forward and bring everyone with him makes me so emotional. This boy who had no friends and was so focused on becoming a star on his own that now has friends and while his dreams never changed now he has new ones and he hopes for a future where the summer troupe can also be with him… bro I’m sobbing

Mankai March question 26!

Let’s hear about some Mankai jams! What’s your favorite character song? Is it because it’s a banger, or because it emotionally destroys you? Mankai Stage solos count!!
