Disclaimer about tonight's post! Heavy content incoming!

Tonight's post is going to feature many heavy topics. While no graphic images will be shown, the content of the images- done in black, white, and red sketches- could still be triggering and/or upsetting to some viewers. While Im sure that many of you are understanding of these heavier topics, I still feel the need to put this out as a small warning for those who might want to skip tonight's post or view it at another time. To be honest it was even hard for me to draw. I have done my best to put as many TW in the tags that I thought might be relevant. I do apologize in advance for the heaviness of the topic- its not something I usually do, but I think its also good to not shy away from what is the harsh reality of death. Thank you all for reading. I hope that you will still enjoy the post if you choose to read it.

Statement on Servants' Hall Coverage of Miss Scarlet & The Duke

MSATD was one of the first series that we covered on the blog, along with All Creatures Great & Small, Call the Midwife, and Sanditon. The series holds a special place in our hearts, but given the departure of Stuart Martin and his character William from the show, we have opted not to cover this series anymore unless it's announced that he plans to return.

While the purpose of this blog to provide news and spoilers and not editorialize, this is a fan ran blog, and we have no interest in covering a series that is so greatly shifting from its original premise. Telly Visions's write up more or less aligns our feelings on the subject.

Thank you for understanding this decision.

#note from the mod #msatd spoilers #the show to us will always be to us “and the duke” #if more stuff from S4 or earlier pops up we will share it (there's some stills trickling in and some bts) #or if a miracle happens -- they were kind enough to at least keep William alive so

Just a brief update, I won't be super online from 8/30/2023-9/3/2023. We'll still be reblogging posts as we find them but the main post with all active projects will not be updated until I come back since for some reason only I can edit it.

Howdy all,

I'm waiting for more legit sources on the rumors re: a new series or movie before I pop off in any direction. Production Weekly listing it gives me pause, but it's not shown anywhere else that I trust, and all the UK sources point back to the Daily Fail.

OK, fair warning to the few people I actually managed to convince to try the game??

Rain world does NOT play like hollow knight, and you'll get your butt kicked if you approach it like that.

It's really hard. Like, really hard. Instead of the game literally giving you abilities in the form of power-ups and damage buffs, the only abilities you gain is from what you learn and your own ingenuity. You're a rat from beginning to end. If you just beef your way through it, it's gonna suck and you're gonna be confused and frustrated all the time. But if you pay attention, take it slow, and learn how the ai works and how everything interacts with each other, you can consistently get through and dominate situations you thought were impossible to do so when you first began. Now get out there, kill some lizards, and bully some old computers!

#blabbing.txt #rainworld #rain world #art #rivulet #hunter #spoilers #not really lol #Other notes that I left out because I wanted it short and sweet: #There is movement tech out the ears in this game. And it's all there from the very beginning. Literally nothing has to be unlocked #If you learn how to do rolls and slides and boosts the game gets so fast and fun #And learning this stuff takes real work! The timing is REALLY tight on some of those moves #Battling enemies is it's whole separate skillset too. Like there are so many things you can do #So many ways to murder ✨✨✨✨ #Some of the best moments are times where you pull a 360 noscope on a cyan and send it tumbling through the air into the void #And doing your first slide-throw into a lizards underbelly #So risky but so rewarding #AND THIS IS ALL JUST THE BASE GAME! #The dlc is literally a mod that got so big the devs saw it and helped fund it #It adds so much to the game. Literally the mod devs asked themselves what crazy thing a slugcat could do #Coded it #And was like uhhh how does this fit into the lore #So that's how we got boomcat and Jesus Cat #I literally talked to one of the devs by chance (they're pretty active. You can just ask them stuff) and they admitted as such #It's great! gameplay first at its peak! #Anyways give the game a shot. If you want to Get Gud at a game rainworld is for you. It's a game entirely about skill #Not to mention... 400+ hours in and I'm still not done with the game #Prepare for the long haul

#river dipping #theodore doe #echthroi #ts4 #ts4 edit #after the save broke yesterday morning for the fourth! time i finally pulled up mod manager and started looking through the hundreds of #conflicts i apparently had and also deleted well over 500+ duplicates... my mods folder is SO rancid i'm sure i missed some conflicts #bc see those dark blue pillows on theo's bed? those are actually white :) but for some reason when i move the pillows near the wall they #change color depending on the time of day... it's not just those pillows some other objects do it too... just closing my eyes at it <3 #the bed and desk are where theo spends most of his time so i spent forever on them. his bed needed to be overwhelmed by stuff #there are... ten pillows i believe two large covers a sheet and a blanket. theo kind of just... burrows into the center and hides. #bunny boy behavior........ and yeah those are matthias's gloves on theo's desk <3 #i have to recolor the stuff on theo's walls later. i imagine his walls are mostly empty and it's just the floors in his apt. that're messy #but i wanted sticky notes to help him remember things and that back wall is going to have matthias's art and love letters #<- which theo definitely takes down and hides whenever matthias actually comes over lmaoooo #also i finally moved all of the pins from theo and matthias's boards over to @theodoredoe (mattodore was taken 😞) #i wanted a place just for my oc boards and i also wanted to be able to add sections to each oc's boards so! new acc! #yk how i mentioned theo's board looking so cluttered? yeah so. figured out it's bc over half of his board is just quotes #i made a section and threw all the 200+ quotes in there and will slowly put some of them in his main board #his board just looks so much better now like i'm so happy about it 🥰 it was definitely worth the time #OH ALSO!!!! IF ANYONE HAS SOME DEAD PLANT CC PLEASEEEE SEND IT MY WAY!!!! #theo really loves just. ripping plants and flowers out of the ground and taking them home to put in little pots but. he always kills them #jsknndkhj so i need dead plants!! limp!!

Niki Shiina - Meal Ticket of Justice

Writer: Yuumasu

Season: Winter

(Location: CosPro Office)

Niki: ‘Su~p, Staff-san. It’s Shiina Niki from Crazy:B.

Is the deputy director here? He asked me to come see him.

Hmm, he’s in the middle of a meeting with a client? It looks like it’ll be over in ten-ish minutes?

In that case, can I wait here? I’ll be in the corner so I won’t get in the way.

It’s a~lright. He asked me to come when I have time, and I don’t have any plans today.

By the way, you wouldn’t have heard from the deputy director about what kind of business he was looking at, wouldya?

Is that so~. …… Nah, nah, I’ll just ask him directly☆

Nahaha, thanks for your concern. Please keep up the good work, Staff-san~☆

(What the heck’s goin’ on if even the staff don’t know about it either~……?

I’m not happy about being the only one called here, it’s hard to comprehend.

Seriously, I have no idea~. …… Did someone from Crazy:B do something wrong?

But if it’s that then the leader would be called……

As if. I feel like calling in Rinne-kun wouldn’t do anything.

Does that mean I’m acting as a substitute for the leader? Even if that were the case, I think HiMERU-kun and Kohaku-chan are more suitable than me.

Hm~m. If possible, it’d be great if he’d avoid talking about difficult topics~……)

Ibara: —Thank you for waiting, Shiina-shi.

Niki: Deputy director! Thanks for your hard work at the meeting.

Ibara: I apologize for the inconvenience. Let me cut right to the chase.

Please take this.

Niki: A flyer for a newly opened restaurant—I don’t think it’s something like that. Uuummmm……

“Dance Workshop”?

Ibara: Yes, this is a workshop for ES idols.

Shiina-shi, your choreography sometimes appears sloppy compared to the other members of Crazy:B.

It’s free, so please consider this a prime opportunity and take part in it!

Niki: Uwaai. I-I’ll do my best……

Ibara: Contrary to your words, you look blatantly disgusted.

Niki: Hmm. To be honest, I’m not into the idea.

A dance workshop, huh… Just thinking about it makes me hungry.

Ibara: Haah…… Well, I expected you to say that.

Not to worry. I’ve prepared a proper reward for you.

Niki: Reward……?

Ibara: Indeed. If you participate in the workshop, you’ll be provided with this “meal ticket that can be used at restaurants nationwide.”

Niki: A m-meal ticket……! I want it, gimme!

Ibara: Ah ah, I won’t give it to you for free♪

Shiina-shi, you promise to attend the workshop, right?

Niki: I promise! I promise on my meal ticket, I’ll do my best……☆

(Location: Dance Room)

(A few days later. The day of the workshop.)

Niki: Meal ticket~♪ Free food~♪ Funfufufu~n……♪

Chiaki: Hm? Shiina will also be participating?

Niki: Oh, that’s Morisawa-ku~n, isn't it!

I didn’t think I knew anyone here, so I’m relieved.

Chiaki: Me too. I always thought these workshops were mainly attended by new idols.

Niki: Same here. I was a little worried that I’d attract attention.

But if Morisawa-kun is here then it’s like a weight off my shoulders! It’s reassuring to be with you!

Chiaki: Right! Let’s encourage each other and work hard together……☆

Niki: Alright! …… Ah, it looks like the dance teacher’s here now.

Now’s the time~. I’ll do my best!

(Two hours later. After the workshop, self-study time)

Niki: That’s ho~rrible, Morisawa-kun!

I thought you were about on par with me, but you’re not that bad at all!

Chiaki: Sorry. It's clear you’re also taking part in order to improve your skills……

Niki: Now that I think about it, in √AtoZ you learned the dance early on and taught it to everyone, right?

I wouldn’t have misunderstood if I remembered properly, but I forgot about it ‘til just now.

Uuu. It’s my own fault, but I feel like I’ve been left behind by the person I’d said “Let’s reach the goal together” to at a marathon race……

Chiaki: Shiina……

I’m really sorry. As an apology, could I join you in your self-study?

Niki: Eh? No, it’s my bad for not checking.

Chiaki: No. That won’t give me peace of mind.

In the process of teaching you, I’ll be able to learn about myself. Please let me help you!

(One hour later)

Niki: 1, 2, 3~♪ …… Turn here☆

Didya see that, Morisawa-kun? I did it exactly as you taught me!

Chiaki: Great, Shiina. You’re definitely making progress!

Niki: Nahaha. It’s thanks to you. Thanks for being patient with me……☆

I mean. Sorry for asking you to stick here with me ‘til the last minute before we have to leave even though you’re not getting anything in return.

Chiaki: Don’t sweat it. A hero is someone who helps someone without hesitation if they’re in trouble. Deserting you is against my sense of justice.

Besides, I did get something in return. I was able to support your growth. This sense of accomplishment is a joy beyond compare……☆

Niki: Justice, huh~…… Well then, I’ll also follow my own justice.

Chiaki: Shiina’s justice?

Niki: Fufufu. I have a meal ticket right here! To thank you for your guidance, I’ll treat you to dinner♪

Eating after a lotta dancing is so much fun! Life is fun. This is my justice……☆

Chiaki: I see. That’s your way of thinking.

Alright,  tonight let’s celebrate your growth and enjoy a meal!

Niki: Nahaha, I’m drooling just thinking about what to eat♪

C’mon c’mon, let’s go before we get too hungry……☆

I have been concerned about there being more DA with the social media accounts being active again, but I’m going to wait and see what’s going on now, since tabloids are the source atm about a new TV series in the works. There’s some things that don’t line up (typical with tabloids anyway) but if there’s any truth to it, we aren’t going likely find out on the weekend.
