The Cinnamorolls!

(Likiya, Takuma, Riku)

#the rampage from exile tribe #thistale rambles #i am SO HAPPY

[thistaleisabloodyone]

So the two Exile Tribe members that have been said to have "heart(s) of glass" are Riku and Leiya. It keeps happening to the muscle boys 😂

#thistale rambles #sorry i spent way too long #on trying to verify the japanese meaning of 'heart of glass' #when i ran into it being used for riku the first time #so now i notice when it comes up again

[thistaleisabloodyone]

They really went "There might be new fans finding us today, we gotta label all of the members so people have some clue who is who"

So.

Favorite RMPG boy: Riku (August 10th, 1994) Favorite FANTA boy: Sota (August 18th, 1999) Favorite DEEP SQUAD/Wolf Howl Harmony boy: Suzuki (August 14th, 1995)

Apparently a quick way to my heart is being born in August

#not all of my exile tribe faves are august babies #tetsuya is born in february #so i was like 'oh thank god exile/exile the second fave isn't born in august' #but you know who is #naoto #who is my jsb3 fave #ryoga is born in june #yuhi is in march #tsubasa in may #tatsuhiro in november #yoshi in september #and yuta (i have accepted defeat yuta has won my gene heart his love of pulling his shorts up way too high notwithstanding) is in january #thistale rambles

This isn't going to be a short guide, my god 😂 I'm like "But I have to mention that this member does choreographies and these are the choreographies they've done that we know of!" and "Kazuma has song writing credits for the rap on 100degrees!" and "Riku wrote Stand By You for High&Low The Worst X, which he was excited to do because he previously submitted to do a song for High&Low The Worst, but wasn't selected."

#thistale rambles #i have to mention yamasho and the mongoose #and you need to know that rui shohei and kaisei were all finalists for the performer battle audition #there're parallel universes where one or more of them ended up in exile

I am starting my newest spreadsheet idea, which is cataloging every subtitled RMPG program on CL Live, including links, what members are included and what languages the program is subtitled in

#thistale rambles #we'll see how long this takes #but hey maybe it'll be useful

[thistaleisabloodyone]

Every time I check the temperature, I regret my life choices 😂

It's basically -19C (-2F apparently converts to -18.8889C and at that point, I'm fucking rounding) and I'm under four blankets, wearing thermal underwear and warm clothes, and a hoodie, and a knit hat, and fingerless gloves, and my fingers are still absolutely freezing.

@hopkei The Riku collection (I currently have hold of - waiting for one more order to arrive before I get the next batch shipped to me). It's, uhh, a lot 😅 A number of it was bought in lots, especially the cards

I apologize, I am bad at taking pictures

Yes, my two alternate jacket covers are framed 😂 The frames and mat cost about $27 each. I also bought a second copy of Life is Beautiful because my first one got damaged

#i have a Problem:tm: #thistale rambles #whoops

[thistaleisabloodyone]

So apparently Dodgeball Kingdom is a bad way to introduce Rampage fans to Ballistik Boyz 😂

#bbz came out to booing in the voice call #whoops #thistale rambles

Yesterday, I went through all of the RMPG blogs on the mobile site and figured out who posts really consistently.

Today, I cannot remember which ones are every day and which ones are not 😩

#thistale rambles #the rampage from exile tribe #went back and checked #definitely daily posters: kazuma makoto takuma #itsuki posted every day in dec 2023 #but did not post on jan 2nd #so i'm not counting him as a daily-daily until i go back and check more months #currently just checking how many posts they made in december #hokuto posted 8 times #everyone else so far is in the double digits #do not recommend if seeking hokuto exclusively #very few of them have posted since the earthquake #the daily posters have #and itsuki and ryu i think #(not looking at the blogs right now)

Good news for people who like my gifs - I can't paint my nails without working on a gif set now, so the white outfit companion piece is probably gonna post soon.

Tumblr on my desktop is Very Glitchy and it's frustrating, so I'm gonna see if it works better on my laptop. The amount of effort it took to post the last one is part of why I took it not getting notes so poorly (there were many factors and they combined to very depressed and discouraged Tale), so I'm hoping that if it's easier to post on the laptop, it'll be less stressful and less discouraging if it doesn't get attention.

If it works, the new process will mean I, uhhh, cannot preview it on Tumblr until all of the gifs are done 😂 (before, I'd upload them to a draft as I finished a line. Now I have to finish all of them, zip them into an archive and ship them to myself because I don't know where any flash drives are anymore)

Using a dice jar to hold the YamaSho picture in place because the frames don't have, like, those backs for propping it up 😂

Watching LIL play Uno (it's not a free program) and wishing so much for a video of RMPG playing Uno 🤣 I feel like Uno would bring out such chaos and I wanna see it

I've already decided I'm skipping Kazuma's birthday - no time, too tired, not doing it - but I'm not sure if I should do something for the 7th anniversary. I haven't touched any RMPG gifs since they fucked up - I think they were oblivious, not malicious, but there was still a lot of trust lost, a lot of pain caused.

On one hand, first anniversary since I got into them and I like the number 7.

On the other hand, -gestures towards mess-

Riku is live on CL Live and speaking English? 😭

#thistale rambles

[thistaleisabloodyone]

The episode of Lil Life that Riku was in has been translated and he was, admittedly, in it for about .002 seconds, but in that .002 seconds, he gave each mbr of LIL a pair of gloves and said "I am a good senpai" (admittedly while laughing), which, uh, buddy.

You gave them and yourself anxiety by completely failing to recognize them, like, a year later 😂

Edit: Went back and rewatched the video in which Riku Absolutely Fails to Identify Lil League and the last thing he says before completely failing to identify Lil League is:

LIL LEAGUEが若すぎるので。。。お兄さんになれるように頑張ります！

Which was machine translated to:

LIL LEAGUE is too young… I'll do my best to become a big brother!

Which... Buddy, darling, friend, beloved... You failed. 😂
