Jotting down my thoughts/favorite moments for Gobb 6 as I watch Th3Badd3st's stream vod

how long can Flynn sleep for and has he always been this lazy??

One thing I will say, the music is so much better

I think Toadster had some abandonment issues he needs to work out

"I was found the by the Queen and Bittergiggle and a few others" Interesting...

"Be careful up there!" "SHUT THE FUCK UP-"

Apparently there's a weird void pig thing now??

Is toadster legitmately just a gas-lighter now or was he just holding out on the fact that HE imprisoned Banbaleena so that she'd be on their side, Also "Incredibly clever, Good at what he does, and he's very handsome." Toadster, honey, You're ego is showing

BANBALEENA IS MRS MASON???

I saw this whole chair puzzle part when I tried watching it live and I just wanna say I love Ty's performance as Bittergiggle and how he just watches us do the puzzle while having no knowledge of what's going on just like us

I actually really like the Dadaroo voicea nd the fact you can hear the kids calling out "DADA!" at some points

Why is Flynn even smaller now?!

"How do you even talk?! Jellyfish have no brain!" I love this line, I like Flynn but I'm sick of hearing him whine

Did the seriously tease the torn in half Bittergiggle clone just for an anitclimatic agurment??

This did open up a rabbit hole of questions though. So the bittergiggles ARE made up of two halves like we orginally thought and they can talk as two as seen with that Bittergiggle...then why do 3 of the bittergiggles only talk as one? Is one half talking and they other staying silent for some reason?? can they only talk as two if they're split apart?

Bitterggigle coming in clutch to save us and that scream of pain was PERFECT!

am I the one that thinks the delivery on "Hold up, let's stay together.." was adorable. I know he's supposed to be dizzy but they way he says it sounds like he's talking to a small child (in an affectionate way) and it just sounds so cozy

although the minigame with the lights is a lot to pay attention to, it's kinda creative

The naughty one's laughed at Bittergiggles joke that's so wholesome-

Awww kittysaurus is Bittergiggles friend!

so the pipes drained Flynn of his Givanium...ok that makes sense?

"Quit whining, you're not the only one." Look who's talkin Flynn

I feel like these "flashbacks" of Flynn's are just hims dissociating and trying to dream of a normal day out with his friends but it keeps turning into a nightmare

i kinda enjoy the little emotion in Banban's "THE CAPTAIN GOT KIDNAPPED!" and "NABNAB!" it's so satisfying to hear fsr-

also did Nabnab try to chase after the bus and they got hit??

......and then we get obliterated by a bus....

The lollipop collecting was another part I saw while trying to watch it live but the lil guys are so cute, I'll just call them "Mini zolphius twins" until we learn their names

Mr kabob man saying "bird up" sounded so funny-

I....Almost got legitmately upset thinking we killed little beak...but thank god they're ok!

HOW MANY FREAKING CLONES DID BITTERGIGGLE MAKE!? There were 4 perfectly good clones that i *thought* where shown in the release trailer why not use them??

BANBAN MUTATED NABNAB!? WE WASN'T HUNTING US DOWN!?

Bittergiggle just went down the sewerslide cause they appreciated his jokes-

I....have more questions than answers....can Dadadoo corrupt people?? or something....

I had really hoped this chapter would be the jumpstart I needed for my rewrite but I'm just more confused...

GARTEN OF BANBAN FAN ENDING🥲

Finally the player found their children. Suddenly behind them is the devil Banban who has defeated the real antagonist. Player worried about the possibility that the devil will attack and kill them and their children. But something unexpected happened...

"So glad... you made it."

His veins suddenly appeared on his entire body causing a lot of green blood or givanium burst out from Banban's mouth and then he lost his balance fell laying on the floor. Player quickly went to him bravely as they felt that Banban was able to control himself again. They can saw that Banban's body was getting thinner because of losing givanium.

"Uthman!!"

"Just call me what I am... You all were right about me... It's just painful for me to accept the truth but... I should acknowledged that I'm... a monster..."

Suddenly, they felt a tremor like an earthquake in this kindergarten.

"Oh no... You and your children have to get out of this place now before it collapses and destroys..!"

"What about you? Let's go out too! I don't want to leave you here!!"

"I... may not be longer anymore... it's fine you two can leave me... Besides, this place is the only one I should stay... I will be dangerous to humans like you..."

"But-"

"Player... As a principal of this kindergarten... I'm so sorry for anything bad that happen to you and your children... and thank you for being the only one who trust me until the end... I'm really appreciate it... Farewell..."

In tears, Player hesitated to leave him alone. But finally they got up and took their children towards the elevator to go up to the ground floor. But while the elevator slowly went up...

"Banban..."

Case 6 slowly looked at the player one last time when they called his real name.

"You still a human at heart. So thank you for helping me. I'm glad I got to meet you."

Player was not to be seen anymore. Only Banban was left alone. Eventhough his face still looks like usual, his eyes are filled with tears after hearing the term of humanity that he actually had it even though he is a monster.

"Thankfully..."

Soon he was silent for eternity then the building collapsed and fell covering him.

-THE END-

That's it, you guys. So why Banban may be dead because lack of blood to live and didn't eat his pain medicine for too long. Every time he returns from being devil, he will spit out too much givanium and it's happen too many times added up with the effect of Jumbo Josh's punch from chapter 3. Maybe his body still can't accept the givanium which is supposed to be like his blood. And because of his body appearance usually change (become hellish form), stitches on his back slowly open or torn. The way of his talking also showed that he didn't have more energy to live. And the way he died was referring to the way Kugisaki Nobara's death from anime Jujutsu Kaisen. So yeah, I hope even the ending maybe not like this, there were some angst because I would love it especially when it relates to Banban's situation. Ok bye!

Prequel ----- Middle story

#garten of banban #hellish banban #banban #sorry not pokemon content this one #i had to write it #if not I will think about it everyday #headcanon #angst #uthman adam #jumbo josh #jujutsu kaisen #nobara kugisaki

Garden of Banban

My opinion!

Hi, today I'm going to give my opinion about the game "Garden of Banban"

Character design

Simply a S-H-I-T! Seriously, the designs are really ugly, looking like they were made by lazy unemployed adults who are trying to become graphic designers!

Without lying, look at Banbaneela and Banban's design:

Look at this bro!!! They made the same design and just changed the colors and accessories! Look at the size of the laziness!!!

Character personality

Man... This is simply SHAMEFUL shit, seriously, the characters have such random personalities that for God's sake... It's shameful

A beautiful example of these shameful personalities are Bittergiggle and Banban, who are like this:

Banban is a guy who has a huge obsession with PANCREAS and Bittergiggle is a guy who tells 5th grade jokes

In my opinion, the only characters who are saved from these shameful personalities are Stinger Flynn

Voice actors

Well, here I'm not going to complain, because the voice actors are actually pretty nice and good, I'm just a little sad that these voice actors accept to voice a horrible game like this...

Okay, nothing to complain about here

Soundtracks

Ok, the soundtracks aren't a disaster, even though they look like they were made on BandLad (I'm not saying the app is bad, to be honest it's amazing)

There are some that are really cool, like one called "Pancreas" (yes, that's the name of the soundtrack, heh...)

But others, OH MY GOD, seem like they were made out of sheer laziness on the part of the developers, without lying, think of a shameful thing!

Background/Stages

In the first chapters, the Backgrounds are pretty cool, however, when you move on to the other chapters... OH GOD

The Backgrounds are GIGANTIC and because of that, the game turns into a walking simulator!!!

Anyway, people, this game is shit, it's not worth it, it's a shame in game form and the worst game E-V-E-R

My rating for this game is: 4,0

Before you go, if you are a fan of Garden of Banban, don't be offended! This is just MY opinion on the game.

Anyway, that was it, I hope you liked my opinion and share yours too!

Ok watched a banban playthru with my besties and my thoughts like

Honestly I'm glad we waited until now because if we had just seen ch 1 and 2 I probably wouldn't have any interest and would have dropped it. But tbh ch 3 and 4 really pick up and the game starts to like, get an identity? It's like they were like "wait a minute we could actually make this interesting" and suddenly it's a game less about you and the horror you're going through and more about the monsters and the horror they are going through. The characters have like. Moments. It's wild. It starts to get ridiculous and surreal at some points and reminds of shit like gravity bone or jazzpunk slightly. I hope they lean way more into it tbh. The stupid fnaf fangame horror tropes are still there but the moments it strays away from that are pretty interesting and easy to get attached to. The puzzles also get way better lmao or at least more like. Unique. I hope they keep going with it in this direction because it does get way better as it goes. I'm like damn I like this cast of characters mostly, I hope they do shit.

However if you aren't an epic mascot horror fan you probably won't like it. I'm a mascothorrorhead I for real love stuff like fnaf and rainbow friends and bendy or whatever yknow. I enjoy keeping up with new episodes of skibidi toilet. I like this stuff to begin with but even I have my limits where like. poppy's playtime just doesn't interest me at all im sorry I do not like that game. Lmao.

Ok goodnight ily

Yes the show is very very messy, but if it's their job, why not make it better? I mean i worked and it comes to a point where companies want to improve make things better try and separate themselves from others. Which was something that they were making at the beginning and now like you said it's just a mess. There are things left unresolved.

I think it's ok to upload a month full of gameplay while Davis and the others try and figure out the lore and what's next, I know davis keeps google sheets of upcoming episodes or ideas (I really don't know, because the only two times that we see what's opened on his computer are during the garden of banban chapter 3 and jumbo's kitchen they appear on screen for a split second), but that works but like in every rp, fanfic, if things are getting out of hand or going in a certain direction, you stick to it or you plot things to actually move around and close certain aspects so the following chapters or replies are coherent to what you wanted or plotted from the very beginning.

I have several things that ticked me off and are sull bothering me because I want to know what was the real meaning behind it.

The first instance of this happening was back in October 2022 where Lunar and Eclipse took over the show. In the first episodes there was an instance where Sun and moon shared a mind and they could see out of Lunar or Eclipse's eyes I don't remember (mind you in the wedding episode Lunar never was mentioned and never appeared, even thought Eclipse took him with him to the wedding) and during that sharing sequence Moon said you Sun need to help and find he way because if we remember Moon was in pain, and efore he episode ended Sun said "no, not again" and he changed places(?). Still in October 2022 Lunar said that everything was going to plan, like he sounded like he had something to plan against Eclipse but he only resolve was I'm out here Moon take over and we never really got to see his true plans.

Fast forwarding to 2023 and when we came to see KC and Lunar inside the mindscape whatavtuañly happened inside there, because in the early days of Lunar he was suppose to suppress the kill code or as he was known back then the homicide code, so what happened did the circuit breaking made everything malfunction or as KC kept growing he overpowered Lunar and that's why he shrunk(?) Because at first he would present as Moon but just a glowing version of him and now he was tiny.

And I have a lot more but these are the ones that haunt me forever.

Also I feel like Eclipse is taking the route of the underpants gnomes like:

Phase 1.- Get the star.

Phase 2.- ????

Phase 3.- Profit

I'm really sorry xD

The targeted audience I really don't know, I think at first was for kids (from the reaction videos), then it kind of moved to teens, now I think its E for everybody channel, i know they are trying to get views (with the introduction of ruinncharacters) and it's understandable I hope they get more views now that dlc is coming out but they also need to tie loose ends before they advance to other things.

working for a company may be hard, I can give Davis that, they are suuuper limited, but also.. they didnt had a complicated storyline before,, they kinda ruined it over time sooo mmhhhh and true true, he could totally keep posting gameplays, since the show was only gameplay and lore was a side thing, they could try and come back to that, keeping ppl in waiting and finally giving a good thing to see.. but nooo noo.. and ok, I write fics, or used to, and I keep at least 3 different files with a storyline, I changed 3 times due to changes that happends as I write, BUT I always keep my files close so I can make sense of what I DO..of course Davis keeps a doc with what to do and what not to do but- then again.. why not working on the lore and logic of your world? because.. what is the rules of this universe? can robot have jobs like a human? or are made to do one thing forever? is every robot sentient? or being sentient is like a miracle? how can robot make babies? is it building it like lego? or in bed? can a robot walk free? magic, how a piece of metal can handle magic? why does it affect a computer with legs? how a robot can create such a destructive thing, does the human working in the plex ever dare to walk in the daycare? are humans even a thing? how come no one ever put a stop to these machines? the ppl looking for Sun and Moon, the cops, what happened to that? see what happend when you dont buiild a work around your story? Davis?! and what you say, true, they lead us with words and indications of a bigger thing, that never happends.. and specially with Lunar he clearly had brains, and had to keep an act, in a way, he played with Eclipse's mind before the back stab, becuase he managed to see the holes on Eclipse plans.. then... what? suddently when Monty make him a body he also made him less smart? less sassy and less sneaky?? why? the whole KC thing, too, like that had no logic, and for me, it had be keep as "Moon's second face" becuse that makes sense than a sentiend line of code.. when KC took control, I felt it, the lore never moved an inch, he acted like he had this oohhh big plan! and oohh so evil he wanted to break moon ooohh but.. then.. he was good?? and.. he then cared for Moon?? huh?? and Eclipse too.. like father like son, he doesnt plan at all , he only dances around then finally throw hands to get what he wants, at least in the early days he clearly was meant to be more of a silly villain, one hurt by Moon's words but also not evil, just annoying.. he moved Sun's body like a puppet but never actually put him in an real danger.. then suddently is this anime villain? (I can writte an long ass post with my theory as to why he changed like this but I wont- I'll save your guys the nonesense) idk, I love the refe tho, that is totally him hahaha but yea.. I think they just need to sattle on who the audience is.. is it kiddos? or teens? then sit the hell down and plan a good damn lore, they can totally re boot the whole universe to one that makes sense and maybe just stop trying to get a new villain every month and just be a wholesome channel like it used to be, that sells too, that can work

they dont need a drama after drama to stay relevant, their channel is the one with more followers, they are high, they can stop the chase..

#sams #the sun and moon show #also so sorry if I make no sense.. im tired is a long day..

A Test of Courage

A Banri x Kat fanfic

This is a self ship fic, uwa. Hope you like it! qwq

Focus was drawn to the tv screen as the competition occupies his attention. Well, most of it anyway. Banri’s brow furrowed, his eyes narrowing with a frustrated growl. Itaru on the other hand had a completely stone faced expression, magenta irises honed in on the fight as he won the match once again. The younger man let out a sigh of defeat, rubbing his temples in small circles.

“Dammit…” He muttered. Banri’s skills were rusted. Though they shouldn’t have been; he practiced fighting the character Itaru was good at with her, after all. What was causing him to feel so distracted? His mind was drifting all over the place to so many different thoughts, but it always went back to those smoky blue eyes - that rosy cheeked smile - and those wavy blond locks. The image left a lasting imprint, one that was shaking him to the core.

“Wow, your game was off today,” Of course Itaru noticed. “Alright, spill it. What’s going on?” And go figure he would want to know what’s on Banri's mind. This made the Autumn Troupe leader groan as he was trying to find good wording.

“It’s nothin’. Must be an off day for me.” Yeah, no kidding. He was just reiterating Itaru’s point. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk, it’s just that the words were escaping him. He didn’t wanna sound like a fool that wasn’t making any sense. Though right now, it felt like nothing was making sense to him. Why did he feel this way again?

“You like Kat a lot, don’t you?”

“Huh?” The brunette took a glance at the man sitting next to him.

“I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that you like her in a romantic sense. Your expressions seem so much more soft and doting around her. Plus, Kazunari said you two eat lunch together more often at class now.”

Shit. Banri’s cover was blown. Light brown strands were slicked back through his fingers as he tried not to keel over from the blatantly humiliating callout from Itaru. Now he remembered why he was so off today. It was Kat; She was all Banri could think about right now. He thought about playing it cool, feigning ignorance, but that wouldn't work. Not when Itaru knew him well enough to pick up on his mood just from his performance when gaming. A disgruntled sigh left slightly chapped lips, and Banri rested his chin in the palm of his hand.

"I don't know what it is about her, but-" He paused. "Whenever I'm near her lately, I kinda freeze up and I can feel my face getting warmer." Honestly, it pissed him off a little. He thought he sounded so stupid; getting this flustered around a girl he'd known for about a year now made him feel like some sort of protagonist from a romance anime. Even now, he felt his face rise in temperature, and he could deduce that his cheeks were definitely flushed. God, he felt so hopeless.

"Wow." A reaction that caught the young man off guard.

"The hell do you mean by that?" The question caused Itaru to chuckle, a smile decorating his face with mischief.

"Sounds to me like your life's not in super ultra easy mode anymore, am I right?"

The worst part was that Banri couldn't disagree.

"Ha ha, very funny Itaru," He replied in a mocking tone. "Though, I ain't gonna say that you're wrong. Cuz you're not."

"Well, if I'm not wrong, what's stopping you? Are you scared of rejection?"

"Ha! Scared of rejection? I'm Banri goddamn Settsu," He said that with a smile that so painfully indicated he was scared. "I can bet if I confessed to her right now, she'd be-"

"Banri, I know you're lying." That sentence… Why did it cut so deep? It shouldn't. It was true, of course, but the fact he wasn't able to get away with it made him feel like a deer in the headlights. An anxious pang in his chest only grew as Itaru continued.

"Just like always, you're afraid of losing. Typical Banri mannerisms for you, I guess."

"A'ight, ya don't have to rub it in, bastard…" Both men let out soft laughter. Though Banri's was born out of fear. It pulsed in his heart, every scenario in his head playing out with the worst possible outcome. These feelings of longing- of teenage anxiety- of a racing heartbeat and lovesick laughter- all of it was so foreign. So exciting. Yet all the same, incredibly terrifying.

"It's just… she's such a cool person, y'feel me?" Banri started. "I mean, she's smart, she's kind, and so freaking talented on stage. And whenever I see her smile and gush over something she loves, her face lights up and it's just so fuckin' cute." At that moment, he snickered, looking at Itaru eye to eye for the first time in that conversation. "And, shit, don't get me started on how her occasional moments where she gets a bit flighty and airheaded make me so damn happy. Like, she can be so mature and caring, but also a bit of a klutz who doesn't always think things through, but also super passionate and energetic, just-"

"Your perfect girl, right?" Banri nodded in agreement with Itaru's statement. In all senses, to Banri, Kat was perfect. Even with all the little flaws and quirks, like her occasional bursts of temper, the way her face flushed tomato red when embarrassed, it was all lovely to him. The two of them got along so well, but he remembered that it’d be likely she’d just like to be friends.

“I wanna tell her. I want her to know how much she makes me smile, man. I want her to know how god damn beautiful she is. But I don’t wanna make things awkward between us either, y’know?” This elicited a tired look from Itaru.

“Dude, it’s gonna be awkward within the first stages of dating anyhow. Better to tell her and at least get your feelings out and face rejection rather than keep going down this back and forth with yourself.”

“Well how the hell am I supposed to do that?!” The blonde shrugged.

“Meh, I dunno. Never dated anyone so I’m useless in that department.” That just turned Banri’s frustration into desperation.

“At least give me something, dude!” An eye roll from Itaru.

“Look, the best advice I can give is ask to talk to her and see where things go from there. Tell her how you feel about her. Y’know, regular confession stuff.”

“Guess that’s a start…” That unfortunately didn’t do much to settle the nerves from the realization that- oh no- he had to confess to the woman he’s slowly grown to pine for this past year and a half. This wasn’t going to be easy, he knew that for sure.

The next morning makes itself known to Banri from the sun’s rays tickling his face, and the absence of Juza’s snoring. It was the weekend, so he didn’t really have anything to do. Accept… he DID have something to do. Something he desperately didn’t want to do, but wanted to do at the exact same time. He could smell breakfast from his room. Pancakes and bacon. It distracted him from the nervous sensation in his stomach.

After a quick shower, he walks down the stairs, sleep still leaving him in a daze as he reaches the dining room. Pretty much everyone was here, save for Itaru and Masumi who were sleeping in. Kat was on the couch, sketchbook in her hands as she waited for Omi to finish breakfast. She looked up from the paper in Banri’s direction, and gave him a soft smile that melts him into a puddle of happiness.

“Morning, BanBan.” BanBan. A nickname she gave him that she used for some lighthearted fun. It caught him off guard, and he thought it was silly, but after a while, he really grew to love it. It was a nice little term of endearment to the both of them. Though mainly, she was too cute to say no to. Her laughter whenever she used it was enough to get him to laugh along from how infectious it was. Banri sat next to his fellow classmate, and gave a half smile in return.

“Mornin’ Kat. Good to see your face. Always brightens my mood.” A light giggle and a faint hint of blush on those already rosy red cheeks caught Banri’s attention.

“Aww, look at you being all sweet and charming today. Who are you, and what have you done with Banri?”

“Pfft, wow, rude.” The two of them laughed quietly so as to not disturb everyone else. Lord knows Sakyo would be up their asses for it later if they were too loud. “For the record, I’m nice and charming all the time. I’m Banri Settsu after all.” That got Kat to snort.

“Oh my god, that’s so corny, I love it.” Banri chuckled at that.

“Yeah, it was, my bad.” Then the fear returned. He could hear his heart beating like a hammer, and his hands quivered ever so slightly. “Hey uh… after breakfast, could I tell you somethin’ at the park?” Kat raised her brows inquisitively.

“Huh? Oh, sure!” On cue, Omi called everyone to the dining room. Breakfast was ready. Kat set down her drawing supplies, and made her way to the table, Banri following suit behind her. Today’s breakfast was simple, pancakes, bacon and hard boiled eggs. Kat smiled happily; they were some of her favorite things to eat for breakfast. Banri sat across from her, the both of them eating in silence aside from occasionally joining in for small talk with others at the table. Though Banri had a hard time eating at all. The anxiety from what he would have to do later made his appetite seem smaller today. He excused himself after only finishing about half his plate, which surprised everyone at the table. He gave a quick tap to the young woman’s shoulder.

“Just meet me there, ok?” A nod accompanied by a hum of confirmation from Kat was Banri’s cue to leave. His shoulders tensed up as he left, putting on his shoes before starting a jog to the park. The whole time he ran, he could feel his resolve waver more than it already was. ‘What if it isn’t worth it? What if she’ll feel uncomfortable?’

‘What if we’ll never be the same after this?’

It scared him so bad. And it manifested into tears threatening to spill and pour down his cheeks. His mouth felt dry, his breath laboured as he sprinted frantically to the park, stopping in his tracks at the park’s fountain before it all broke loose. Choked sobs left him as he tried to catch his breath. His lip quivered as tears rolled down his cheeks. Banri tried to collect himself, wiping his eyes and nose, and steadying his shaky breath. This break in confidence made him feel so stupid. He felt ashamed for being so afraid. He felt even more stupid because he knew Kat would ask what’s wrong. He didn’t want her to worry. He wasn’t used to it. His parents never paid much attention; he was perfect at everything. Right now though, he was far from that supposed perfect man he was. He was vulnerable; he was second guessing himself. If Kat saw him like this - all clumsy and anxious over a confession - what would she think of him?

“Banri?” That voice made his heart sink. He felt like he was in such deep shit right now. His blood ran cold, but his face was red from crying.

“Banri, are okay? Oh god, were you crying?” Her worried tone made Banri feel so secure, but it was so odd to him. The young man wanted to brush it off, say it was nothing, but that was a lie he knew she’d see through. ‘Fuck it,’ He thought. ‘Might as well follow through on what you told yourself you were gonna do Banri.’

“Yeah, uh… I was.”

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Nah, nah. Well, I mean- I guess? I just- I dunno, I kinda got something on my mind and it’s really stressin’ me out.” A hand came to Banri’s back; a reassuring touch to let him know he was ok.

“Do you wanna talk about it? I’m always here for you, BanBan.” That smile that followed her words felt so warm and welcoming. And the way she said ‘BanBan’ was so different from any other time she said it. In most instances, it was used to joke around with him when they were messing around being idiots together. Here, it was affectionate, and born of concern for her friend’s well being. Somewhere in his heart, Banri felt it wasn’t ok to be open with her despite her reassuring he could tell her. But right now, he didn’t care about his worries. His brain was silently screaming at him right now to get it out, to just go for it even if you two just stay friends. That was ok with him. It may be a bit awkward for a while if she doesn’t reciprocate, but that wouldn’t change how much he liked spending time with her as a friend to begin with. Worries be damned, he supposed it was at least worth a shot.

“Yeah, thanks.” Deep breaths. In and out. “So, I’ve kinda debated back and forth since the last week or so whether or not I should tell you this, cuz I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. But I wanted to tell you how I feel about you, cuz I have a lot on my mind about a lot of stuff. Ever since we started hanging out over the past year, I’ve kinda started to feel really anxious around you. My heart races, my face gets all red and shit, and I start losing my words. I really don’t wanna beat around the bush with this but I- I really like you. Like, romantically.”

Silence. It hung over for about a couple seconds, but to Banri it felt like a fucking eternity. At this point one could drop a pin and it would be heard that was how silent it was at that moment. But shock filled the young man’s sapphire eyes when Kat took his hand and held it. She cast a little glance, before looking away with a timid smile. She looked like a blushing bride. Banri didn’t know what to do he was so nauseous from the anxiety, but somehow, gently reciprocating the touch felt so natural and normal. Their eyes finally met, and Kat had a really goofy smile. It was lopsided, and one could tell she was happy but also really nervous. Her face was red, which was unsurprising given she’d get like that when she’d be caught singing by the other company members.

“Y’know, I uh… I’ve kinda wanted to tell you the exact same thing so I’m like, really happy right now.”

“Wait, really?” Kat nodded fervently.

“Yes! Y-Yes I- God, I’ve felt so scared too cuz I really didn’t wanna make things awkward between us if you didn’t feel the same way, But you’re just really fun to be around, you’re really handsome, and I love watching you act cuz you try super hard, and it makes me wanna try just as hard too! A-And I really wanna make you as happy as you make me, so… um…! Yeah, I-I really like you, like, a whole lot!”

Banri’s eyes widened in awe. Was this real? Was this a dream? He wasn’t sure, but a big smile spread across his face, and he started to laugh in relief.

“Holy shit, can I hug you please?” She nodded, and Banri hugged her so tight. He felt so happy. It may have been silly of him to cry tears of joy, but nonetheless he did. Just when he thought the tears had dried up, the euphoria made all the emotions rise up to the surface again. He pulled back to look at Kat, and she was crying too. Looks like she was just as scared as well. It made him feel a little better about everything. Banri tenderly brushed his thumb across her cheek, wiping away her tears.

“God, I knew you were adorable, but do you have to have such a cute smile?”

“What can I say? I guess I’m like your little ball of sunshine.”

“You’re damn right about that,” Banri placed a featherlight peck on the cheek. “I love you so much, Kat.”

“Love you too, Banri.”

Those words made him happy. So, so happy. Right now, time stood still. He wanted to stay like this. To stay close, in a warm embrace, pressing gentle, nervous kisses to each other’s lips. And right now, in this little moment, they would stay like this for at least half an hour. Banri vowed to himself, as they both stayed comfortable in that blanket of love, that he would make her so damn happy. Lucky for him, he was already well on his way.

2019 is almost over, and it's time for

The Dazzling Pink Precure were supposed to be handling the ceremony, but then unexpectedly had to go back to the drawing board for some design tweaks, so...

This is the magical girl media that has been consumed here on Mahou-furbies this year!

Anime

(Fresh Precure, Star Twinkle Precure, Invaders of the Rokujouma, Machikado Mazoku, Madoka)

Manga

(the original CCS & Clear Card, Magical Girl Site, Sailor Moon, Madoka Wraith arc, Homura revenge, Oriko Magica, Sakura Hime Kaden, Is this a Zombie?, Flying Witch)

(revisits to old familiar stuff don't qualify for an award unless I had forgotten everything about it)

Other notable stuff that happened over the year:

Before going to the awards, let’s say a few words about the artistic activity here at Mahou-furbies.

The "practise figure drawing while Precure is playing" project still continues! The experience is surreal, with Precure on one half of the screen, and a nude model with a 60 second timer on the other!

Honestly I don't see any progress myself but having watched roughly 3 seasons this way and 20 drawings per episode that's 1000 sketches, that has to count for something? I hope?

The Chibi project started and continues! According to my statistics that is 170 characters and 504 drawings (different outfits) total! Out of the 63 Main Cures (incl. Healin’ Good) 40 are finished.

The Magical Girl Fusion drawing happened this year! It is the second most popular tumblr post I’ve ever made, and it still continues making its rounds, occasionally showing up as the most popular post of the day in my activity! It’s one of the few posts of mine I really like, I think it has both a good concept and execution, so I’m happy that it has received attention.

After the Fusion post, another chibi series has launched and these even smaller chibis have invaded all three of my other active blogs, and there is more to come to this blog as well... They’re cuter than the main chibi series, but the details aren’t as visible so they’re not going to completely displace it.

And then there’s of course the Dazzling Pink Precure, which has received outstanding support right from the beginning!

It is kind of amazing that whenever I post about them I often get some kind of feedback, when I think it’s more common that artists struggle to get recognition for their OCs while art of canon stuff gets more responses. So I’m very flattered by the interest they’ve received! And they have even been nominated for this year’s fancure awards (thanks to whoever nominated them) which is just incredible. The changes they are going through right now hopefully won’t have a meaningful impact on that since I only plan to alter some of the pink shades or make one skirt hem a little different or stuff like that, and the main concept should stay the same.

I also find it entertaining that Cure Fluffy who was created to be a parody of the spotlight-hogging pink protagonists got upstaged by an all-pink team.

But that’s it for the art life of Mahou-furbies, now let's start with the awards!

Best henshin design goes tooooo

Tetty Goodgripp from MagiPro Black! I haven’t read it yet (I’m still at Jokers or Aces, whichever was the middle of the trilogy) but I do love this design.

Then, best team henshin design is

Fresh Precure! Though to be fair not a lot of teams this year... But a win is a win and I did rank them #1 in my Precure Team design ranking a few years ago.

Next, best powerup look is

Also Fresh! bonus points for implementing the powerup in a more interesting way than "new once-per-episode stock footage sequence in the latter part of the season" or "thing we see in the final episode for two and a half minutes"

The award for Best civilian design goes to

Cure Cosmo! Surprising for this monochrome a design, but the simple and stylish look is just so good.

Best school uniform is

Magical Girl Site! ...I know the common opinion of this series and kind of agree with it, but I just like the basic black sailor uniform ok?

Then best hair. That is

Cure Star’s ridiculous twintails! I love them!

Best magical item goes to

The Clear Cards! Sakura’s cards are already a fun item, and I like the transparent visuals.

Best Henshin scene is

youtube

Cure Passion’s transformation! I love the part where she sinks into water and the one where her earrings and tiara appear.

Best fan creation witnessed in 2019 goes to

Banban! Hero Precure by @aceaeite! Great designs that work well both individually and as a team, and the designs are recognisable as both Precure and superheroes! Also I love the detail of the little sister not fighting with the rest of the girls and instead having her own adventures.

Then, Best relationship goes to

Love & Setsuna from Fresh! I don’t ship them, but I like them as sisters and Setsuna finding a loving family after all she had gone through was one of the best elements of the season.

The Best mascot of the year was

Chito from Flying Witch! I don’t really consider this kind of witch series to be a part of the magical girl genre, but it’s more fun to have more works on this list so... Anyway I don’t usually care much for mascots but Chito was cute and not annoying.

Best supporting character (i.e. not one of the magical girls) is

Kaoru-chan from Fresh! At times his existence felt a bit superfluous, but he was funny and it was nice that the girls had a supportive adult around to give advice.

Best visuals goes to

The colour palette in Cosmo’s intro! The use of colour really stood out to me. Not a lot of outstanding animation this year it seems...

Next, Best audio!

youtube

The ending for Invaders of the Rokujouma! The song puts me in a happy place (and I also love the little logos for all the girls).

Then, Best scene is

youtube

Seconds 0:05 - 0:10 of Cure Cosmo’s attack! It just has such good lighting and music! (don’t care for the rest of the attack...)

Then, the Innovation award for a work that did something cool and new for the genre!

Honestly I don’t think I can give this to anything this year... Sakura Hime kaden had an interesting historical setting and Machikado Mazoku’s concept of having the friendly villain be the main character was amazing, but neither did anything worthwhile with these ideas so I don’t want to award them... Better luck next year!

Then a special award! While it would be all kinds of entertaining to also pick the worst hair, worst henshin etc I thought I’d focus on the positive. However we can’t get through this post without a little bit of bitching, so next is one Golden Mana Award for one thing that didn’t go quite the way I wanted in some way. And that isssss

The henshin designs in TMM Au Lait! I love the original TMM designs but these new boys apparently have no intention of even remotely following the old design ideas. Pah!

Then the final awards. Best character of the year is

Cure Milky! Love her more serious and down-to-earth personality, she has a cute design in both civilian and henshin form, her voice is lovely and with a unique origin she brings some fresh air to Precure!

And finally, Best series of 2019 goes to

The first half that I’ve seen of Star Twinkle Precure! I haven’t seen all of it yet, but what I have has been a surprisingly positive experience, with a lot of great characters, exploring the space theme and changing the usual formula even a little. Hopefully the quality will remain strong!

Annnd with that we're all set for 2020! Plans and expectations are

Let’s see if I can make even one of these happen!

Art-wise I hope to be able to complete all main Cures for the Chibi series (though that also depends on if everyone’s 5-star-card dress will be revealed). But once they are finished there will be compilation posts, and I’m hoping to have some kind of bracket polling thing where we can all vote for the best 5-star-card dress.

Then there’s the Dazzling Pink Precure, for who I’m currently trying to think of a story and will hopefully be able to put something out.

Alright, that was Mahou-furbies 2019. What were your highlights (or worst points) of 2019, and how does 2020 look in terms of magical girls?
