the other beta version of mochi and limes post-timeskip reunion is that he actually does find her on his own. after years of taking witch-related missions, tracking down leads, investigating new developments and hints that came up, etc
where one day, wherever mochi is hiding at the time, pom becomes alert all of a sudden, and goes "...the m34th is here."

im so sorry but i have to ask are Rill and Thresher supposed to make me think season 0 kaiba and yugi
I think it's the green hair that does it
the primary inspiration for Rill is absolutely S0 Kaiba and I'm not exactly being subtle about it! However, Thresher is not Yugi in any way whatsoever.
Thresher is based on a character concept I wanted to follow through on since 2019 before I ever watched Yugioh and doesn't really have an existing character in other media I can really point to as a comparison point or specific point of inspiration. I actually almost scrapped their concept entirely because when Splat 3 came by and had Shiver be a shark themed Octoling I was like FUCK they got to it first!!! People are gonna think I'm immediately ripping off a canon character!! But I got over it because who gives a shit, I was here first, and it's not actually very similar to what I was wanting to do anyways
Then about a year after I actually made Thresher into a proper character I caved to my dark desires of "I want to play with that cabbage freak in this other setting and see what he mutates into" and the only character I had lying around to throw him at happened to be Thresher.
The biggest inspiration for how Thresher deals with Rill has been a hawk I saw once sitting on a house roof ignoring a tiny ass songbird that was repeatedly dive-bombing it and bouncing off of it without doing any visible damage. I'm being completely serious this was the funniest thing I've ever seen
Anyways point is I think the biggest trap people fall into with these 2 is that they see a Kaiba and assume that there's going to be a Yugi somewhere to match when in reality I made these two completely independently of each other whoops

BG anon again. I just got to the epilouge party and the letters. I knew Haarlep was a 'gift' from Meph, to 'keep Raphael busy'. I'm assuming because the Crown of Karsus heist by Gortash was Raphael's fault, either intentionally or indirectly, and Meph wanted to distract Raphael until he could recover the crown. Haarlep said he has gone back to Meph's palace in Cania. Where the boys are about to have their heist. Haarlep has a history of being helpful in heists. *wiggles hopefully*
Hi anon,
So, the epilogue came quite a while after I started and had already mentally planned out Haarlep's storyline in Palmarosa. As a result, they're not with Mephistopheles, though I can still work them being a gift into the storyline, it's definitely not where we're going to see them!
Honestly I'd prefer that, because I prefer a storyline where Haarlep mostly just disappeared for a while to find out what the fallout would be, especially since they were bound to Raphael (this was in the canon before we got the epilogue).
When we see Haarlep again, it won't have anything directly to do with Cania or Mephistar or Mephistopheles at all.
One of the reasons I've taken great pains to stress that this story isn't at all canon compliant is, in part, that fic authors are just having to make up a lot of stuff before it gets confirmed in the canon. Just because what I'm writing gets retconned, doesn't mean I'm going to change my ideas! (Unless I think they make the story better, but in this case I don't want Raphael encountering Haarlep at Cania. I'm planning on Haarlep's return being pretty special in a different way).
(Also /random/ but we've had like 13 chapters of Raphael not trusting any fiends at all partly because Haarlep betrayed him, in part. Even if Haarlep was in Mephistar, I think Raphael would sooner kill them, or at the very least bring them to heel, than have them involved in a heist. Like the whole point of Raphael using Astarion and Fhaeleb is that he's less powerful than he was before, and was betrayed by fiend/s.)

Also, is the update only 4 weeks long??
I saw prior that the daily gifts only went to 4 weeks, but I could give that the benefit of the doubt and say that that only went to the first half of the update. But the Stormbringer Gacha also only goes to 4 weeks long
Why? Don’t all Legendary/premium tier updates usually last at least 7 weeks?
No wonder they’re giving her to us for free, with that amount of time there’s barely any way someone could get 250 pulls (though granted from what I saw, that’s not actually how her Gacha is working, but I didn’t pay attention to how it does)

I guess I'm just confused that fans of watcher are willing to pay sometimes $100 or more in ticket prices to see the live shows with Shane and Ryan but then $6 is really offensive and a betrayal of an ask... like one mystery files hoodie costs more than a year of their (currently announced price of the) site subscription. Don't get me wrong because I do NOT think the paywall was the right decision or announced the right way, I don't think it's going to work. But. I have seen and heard several people say they buy tickets and merch, why can't that be enough? $6 is too expensive! But I'm sitting here confused because. The tickets and merch are way more than six dollars..???? I'm really really confused about that point. It's not that I don't understand that $6 can be unaffordable, it's just... so many people say they can't spend $6 while in the same breath have been boasting about how so far they've been able to spend money on concerts and patreon and buying shirts and blind boxes and the premium YouTube subscription because creators get a bigger chunk of the money that way (watcher should be GLAD they supported them btw!); but SIX DOLLARS? They can't pay that! It's odd. Is all I'm saying.
On the flip side, I saw people saying that because they live outside of the us they would get charged a double tax that they couldn't afford due to having to transfer money overseas; I feel like that's a really good point. Once this goes behind a paywall, international audiences will have a much harder time accessing content moving forward, if they can at all (not every country plays nice with PayPal). Even if they can afford the $6, there will be a heap of fees on top of it - or there won't even be a way to get the money to the service in the first place.
Absolutely the fact that Watchers' content is suddenly becoming paywalled seemingly immediately moving forward with little warning is a big shock and at first when watching the video, I didn't think they were serious. Having witnessed a successful launch of a YouTube channel into a paid subscription site with the exact price that watcher is asking for... they are not doing it right. Not for their audience. But people are so so focused on how expensive six dollars is and not on the other implications of this decision, which just... am I in the wrong here?? There's a bigger conversation i feel could be had but everyone is really really focusing on the BETRAYAL of six dollars... and I feel like I'm going crazy because that wasn't even in my first handful of thoughts about why this was a bad idea

After the day clinic I'll go to a rehab clinic that specializes in trauma and addiction (most places only treat these two separately). I'll stay there for 3 to 4 months. Rip to me am I really that sick?
The social worker in my ward and I wrote down my addiction time line for my insurance company today which made me realize how fucked up I really am. Midway through I asked her to stop for the day and do the rest tomorrow because it was so confronting. (Yes, I listened to my boundaries for once.) I really have been in this cycle ever since I was 13 without realizing it.
After that I went to the city with some of the people from my ward and that was really nice. I feel accepted there, and I love how diverse our group is.
This evening is easier than yesterday. Less urges, less cravings. But somehow I'm shaking. Man, all of this is a lot but I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
