Here if you list of BLs announced for 2023 that didn't happen and for which I have no word on whether they'll release in 2024 instead.

Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari no Hajimari no Asa

Korea

Blueming 2 AKA Blueming Season 2

This was one of my favorites from 2022 year (9/10). I’m not thrilled about this. It’s the same director as TMS2, and I didn’t like that one all that much either. Still, I’m always intersted in where Korea goes when it’s given enough rope to hang itself.

Choco Milk Shake 2

Strongberry

First Love's User Manual (TutorYim) Silkwood (Peach Of Time)

Heesu In Class 2

was to air 2023 03.02

He doesn’t mind cheering Chanyoung from the sidelines or listening to all his girl problems. He doesn’t care if people only know him as “Chanyoung’s friend.” Then one day, Heesu starts hearing his name everywhere. On the bus, in the halls, during lunch… Turns out, there’s a rumor going around school (Got a love problem? Find Heesu in Class 2 and he’ll tell you what to do!) and with that, Heesu suddenly finds himself the center of attention. But how could he give anyone advice? He doesn’t even know what to do about his own crush!

Silkwood and Be On Cloud partnered for this. ‘Wuju Bakery’ was originally scheduled to be released in 2024, but changes in the production house’ schedule showed that it would air sooner in November 2023, and then it didn't. The drama stars Thai actors Jeff Satur and Barcode Tinnasit and Korean actors Dion and Jun In-Kyu (Q) About a spaceship that crash-lands into and destroys a bakery shop. Of course this means the alien and the baker end up living together. At the same time, other aliens-in-hiding all around the city start hunting for them. One of my most anticipated BLs. It sounds SO WEIRD.

Izen

Third D&D floriograph is Izen, drider Way of Mercy monk and Undying (I think) warlock belonging to @justabitscrewy! DM is @bacoj8

Flowers

Rye: apostasy, condemnation, disgust, mockery

Barley: grain of life, false justice. The ancient Greeks sometimes determined guilt through a method of divination called alphitomancy: when someone in a group was suspected of a crime, the members of the group would be fed barley cakes or slices of barley bread. Supposedly, the guilty party would get indigestion, while all others would feel well.

Calathea: beginning anew

Begonia: Repaying a favor. While begonias most often carry a message of warning, a 17th century botanist named them after a plant collector (Michel Begon) who had done him a favor, lending them the additional meaning of grateful repayment.

Heather (Calluna vulgaris): healing from within, the inner self. Purple heather specifically means solitude.

Cockscomb Amaranth (Celosia): affection, fashion, partnerships, silliness

Bengal fig (Ficus benghalensis): meditation, reflection, self-awareness

Elderberry (Sambucus): death, rebirth, transformation, kindness

Durian (Durio): Night, misleading appearances. Durian flowers are nocturnal; they close during the day and open at night so they can be pollinated by fruit bats. In some places, durians are banned in public places because of their powerfully unpleasant smell. However, those willing to look past first impressions can enjoy the delicious fruit.

Check out the rest of the Pringles Party!

Note

Say sam, now that you are aware of your diagnosis, just how much of Ghost do you feel was undiagnosed ADHD?

Ah, I still never know what to make of Ghost. Whatever she was I don't think she was related to the ADHD or experiences like that would have been more common for me all my life. This isn't to say that she was definitively real, I still think she's about 60% a joke I played too hard on myself, but she was undoubtedly very particular to that one apartment. I've not had a haunted apartment before or since, even though I invited her to come with me to the new place if she wanted.

For those who weren't around for it, the last place I lived was a very nice apartment in a SUPER nice building, and it was much less expensive than it should have been, rentwise. When I got the lease I joked it must be haunted. But then when I picked up the keys, and over the first few days of getting it set up -- going over to make sure it was clean, getting the internet and electricity switched over, etc -- weird shit kept happening. Doors not working, that kind of thing. At one point I sat on the kitchen counter and had a chat with her about how I was moving in and I didn't want any trouble, and after that everything seemed fine. I mentioned it offhandedly to my mother, and she claims to have seen "something" in the bathroom mirror the first time she visited to help me move, but she is also...lovably suggestible.

There were other incidents over the course of my time there, most notably some weird dreams. And there was The Smell -- I suspect one of my neighbors had a durian, but The Smell began around the time I opened the Halloween box I'd packed away the previous year and either it was a coincidence or Ghost's revenge for possibly accidentally sealing her in a box for a year. It took about a week and a half for The Smell, which seemed to originate right at my front door and had no detectible cause, to go away.

Anyway, I guess either she was a delusion or she stayed at the old place because I've had no evidence of her in this place. But yeah, I doubt it was the ADHD in specific that was causing that.

Just for fun, here's how I imagine Charlie Morningstar reacting to Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Pt. 1)

Episode 1:

Charlie: "Wait, so your dad passed away 2 years ago and your first reaction was "why didn't you wake me up?" You're not the least bit heartbroken?"

-later...-

Charlie: "I don't know what those prinnies are, but they look cu- Hey! Stop picking on them Etna! That's so mean of you!"

-later...-

Charlie: "Wait, if Vyers was the one taking out most of the competition for the throne, then why was he only the first boss of the game? Was he serious when he said he was holding back?"

-later...-

Charlie: "Who's Etna talking to? Alastor! You're not planning an assassination with a succubus behind my back, are you?!"

Alastor (from the background): "Why my dear, I would never DREAM of doing such a thing without your prior knowledge."

Vaggie (from the background): "Just because you don't dream about it, doesn't mean you won't do it."

Alastor (from the background): "True, but if it makes you feel better, I'm not planning any as of this moment."

Episode 2:

Charlie: "This Flonne girl may be an angel, but she seems really swee- wait, what's this about an assassination?"

-later...-

Charlie: "Vulcanus seems as bad as Adam and what does Lamington mean he's not fit for this task? Is there another reason why he sent Flonne to the Netherworld?"

-later...-

Flonne (through the screen): "The angels all say that demons are evil, but are they really? It doesn't seem fair to judge somebody based on rumors alone."

Charlie: "THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR THE LONGEST!!!"

Angel (in the background): "Trying to get some beauty sleep here, Charlie!"

-later...-

Charlie: "So Lamington IS plotting something with someone... but who? And why do they want Flonne to meet Laharl so bad?"

-later...-

Flonne (through the screen): "Durian Dragon Dranyago! Dragon come forth!"

Charlie: "Angels can summon dragons?! How is that fair?!"

-later...-

Flonne (through the screen): "Demons don't know sadness?"

Laharl (through the screen): "Exactly! I've never experienced such an emotion in my entire life!"

Flonne (through the screen): "If that's true, does that mean demons don't know love either? Sadness is only possible because of love."

Laharl (through the screen): "That's right. Demons have no love either."

Charlie: "Don't listen to him! That kid is lying through his teeth! He does not speak for us!"

Chapter 3:

Charlie: "I don't approve of robbing someone else of their cash, but at least they're paying their workers."

-later...-

Flonne (through the screen): "Is he always like this?"

Etna (through the screen): "Yup. Always."

Flonne (through the screen): "I never met anybody like that in Celestia."

Etna (through the screen): "I'd be amazed if you did."

Charlie: "Given how Adam is, I wouldn't."

-later...-

Charlie: "Okay, so you're telling me that prinnies work in both the Netherworld and Celestia in order to atone for their sins and reincarnate into their next life? YOU MEAN ALL I HAD TO DO TO WIN MY COURT CASE WAS TO SHOW HEAVEN AN F-ING PRINNY?!!!"

Alastor (from the background): "Quite unfortunate that we don't have any here in hell, isn't it?"

Vaggie (from the background): "Even if they did exist, I bet Adam would just hide any evidence of them."

Charlie: "He would do that, wouldn't he, that jerk!"

-later...-

Charlie: "That's... King Krichevskoy? He does seem rather... majestic for a lack of a better term. Hehe... Wait, how can you choke on a black pretzel? Did he forget to chew one day?"

Angel (from the background): "Nah, his throat game was just weak!"

-later...-

Lamington (through the screen): "Listen carefully Flonne, there is no such thing as absolute evil or absolute good. The angels assume they are good and the demons are evil. That is an unfortunate misconception. Demons do have love. The angels... and in fact most demons, just do not realize it."

Charlie: "Exactly! This guy gets it! I approve this guy. What's his name? Seraph Lamington? I like you, Seraph Lamington. Really wish you were the Seraph judging my trial."

Husk (from the background): "...Should we tell her?"

Alastor (from the background): "And spoil the fun for later? Why in Lucifer's red hell would we do that?"

Chapter 4:

Charlie: "Oh great, it's Vulcanus again. What's he doing here? ...Okay, he's clearly plotting something and is paranoid of Flonne for some reason. Hey! Get out of her room you creep! Don't take her stuff!"

-later...-

Flonne (through the screen): "An angel trainee cannot stay in the Netherworld very long without that pendant... At this rate, I will lose all my energy and eventually die..."

Charlie: "Oh that Vulcanus is SO on my shit list! Actually... Vaggie!"

Vaggie: "Yeah?"

Charlie: "You're not relying on some item so you won't fade away and die while you're staying here, are you?"

Vaggie: "Well, I'm a fallen angel, so it's not it matters at this point."

Charlie: "Right. Just making sure. But if you were and it went missing, you'd tell me right away, right?"

Vaggie: "Aww, you worry too much Charlie." Kisses her. "Just enjoy the show."

Charlie: *blushes* "That doesn't... answer my que-" *gets kissed again* Okay..."

-later...-

Charlie: "Etna, there's lava and magma everywhere. Of course it's going to be hot. And maybe prinnies would be nicer if you treat them better. Ever thought of that?"

-later...-

Charlie: "Ha! That's right! Have a dose of Karma, you angel creep! Oh nice, they caught up with Vyers. Now all he has to do is give Flonne back the pendant and- why isn't he giving her back the pendant? Why isn't the pendant burning his hand right now?! WHY IS EVERYONE FIGHTING AGAIN?!!"

-later...-

Charlie: "I'd feel bad for Vyers, but this wouldn't have happened if he just gave back the- No! The pendant!"

Laharl (through the screen): "Don't make such a pitiful face"

Charlie: "Laharl! He found it! And without so much as a burn mark on him despite diving right into lava. What is he made of?"

Flonne (though the screen): "You pretend to be evil, but there is definitely kindness in your heart. To give you the opportunity to realize that kindness... That is my reward for you."

Charlie: "Oh! I love this idea! I should use that. Let me write that down right quick!"

Episode 5:

Charlie: "Hey don't laugh. I'm sure whatever is on that photo, it can't be that bad."

Angel (in the background): "You say that, but I bet you're dying to see it, aren't you?"

Charlie: "No I'm not!"

-later...-

Charlie: "Really? That's his weakness? Who gets physically hurt from someone using optimism and empathy?"

Husk (whispers): "Wait, she doesn't know about empathy killer?"

Alastor (whispers): "What did I say about spoiling the fun, husk?"

-later...-

Charlie: "Laharl can't stand sexy bodies either? ...Hey Angel?"

Angel: "I know what you're about to ask and the answer is no!"

-later...-

Charlie: "Oh so THAT'S the person Etna was talking to. Wait, is Maderas really this salty after being caught stealing black pretzels?"

Alastor (from the background): "Oh my dear child, you have no idea how little it takes for someone to hold an everlasting grudge."

Vaggie (from the background): "Yeah, I bet you have a lot of experience in that department, don't ya?"

Husk: (Oh damn, if that's an understatement if I ever heard one)

-later...-

Charlie: "See! I KNEW Vyers is holding back! He was in bandages before! How did he recover so quickly?! And Etna, if your plan was to not kill Laharl, then why did you poison him anyway? Did you make sure to only use enough to put him in a coma for 2 years? Did you use a different type of poison than what Maderas gave you? "

Vaggie: "Okay, calm down Charlie. I think it's time for a quick break so you won't lose it."

Charlie: "I just have... so many questions..."

Vaggie: "And with a good drink, you'll forget all about it, right Husk?"

Husk: "Yeah yeah. Who's idea was this again?"

-later...-

Charlie: "Okay, I'm all calm now and it looks like Laharl forgave Etna for her treason. That's good. Those passive aggressive remarks is a bit eyebrow raising though."

Flonne (through the screen): "I don't understand it, but I guess demons have their own way of expressing love."

Angel Dust (in the background): "You can say that again, honey!"

Charlie: "Not like that, Angel!"

Angel Dust (in the background): "But am I wrong though?"

Episode 6:

Charlie: "Laharl, you sure you don't want to push this contest back a few days? You know, give yourself time to prepare? I can understand being eager to take the throne, but this is pushing it."

Etna (through the screen): "Prince, is this offer available for anyone?"

Laharl (through the screen): "Are you an idiot? There's no deed to the title of overlord! This is a trap."

Charlie: "Hey! No fair that's fraud! Plain and simple! You can't just intentionally give your subjects false hope like that!"

Husk (in the background): "I don't know about you, but I think they stopped being your subjects, the moment they try to kill ya."

Alastor (in the background): "Quite an effective method to weed out all the backstabbers."

-later...-

Laharl (through the screen): "I know I encouraged everyone to participate but... isn't this a bit much?"

Charlie: "Come on, it can't be that ba-" -!!- "Fucking shit, this place is more packed than an anime convention!"

-later-

Laharl (through the screen): "Trying to make a fool out of me?! I'll make you moan in pain!"

Charlie: "Ahh... he's as bad as my dad..."

Angel Dust (in the background): "I'm saving that quote though!"

-later...-

Charlie: "Etna, Laharl just forgave you for betraying him in the last chapter and you're already talking about pulling a coup? You really are as bad as the V- ooh, baseball!"

-later-

Overlord (through the screen): "puny boy. What you see before you represents a fraction of my power"

Laharl (through the screen): "Well, that's really hard to tell since I can only see part of you."

Etna (through the screen): "Yup. You're just too big."

Overlord (through the screen): "Fine! If it's size you're concerned about, I can make adjustments!"

Lucifer: "Charlie, are you watching porn in there?!"

Charlie: "Dad! It's not what it sounds like! That was out of context!"

Lucifer: "I thought you were into women!"

Charlie: "I'm bi, Okay?!"

-later-

Charlie: "Ooh, this game has their own Sentai heroes! I loved watching these growing up. I wonder what their megazord looks like."

Flonne (through the screen): "You call yourselves "Prism Rangers", but you only have 3 colors. That's not even enough for a rainbow."

Charlie: "..." slowly takes out a pen and paper.

Vaggie (in the background): "Charlie, we're not doing that!"

Charlie: "Oh come on! We would all look so cool together!"

-later-

Charlie: "Hey! They were just about to summon the zords! Ugh! That was SO uncool Etna!"

-later-

Charlie: "Laharl, I'm surprised you didn't see Vyers coming once you got there. He is your rival after all."

Alastor (through the background): "Is it really a rivalry if he's never won a fight?"

-later-

Charlie: "Okay, there was a lot more bloodshed than I hoped, but now that Laharl's the overlord, all this chaos should come to an end, right? Wait, why should Flonne be worried about helping Laharl claim the throne?"

Vulcanus (through the screen): "This is no longer a case of disobeying orders. This is treason!"

Charlie: "What? She just helped someone claim a throne, It's not that bad, right?"

Vaggie (through the background): "Actually it is."

Lucifer (through the background): "Yeah, it's an actual law in heaven. This is highway treason."

Charlie: "Oh... shit."

Episode 7:

Flonne (through the screen): "Ever since you became the overlord, you've done nothing but laugh."

Laharl (through the screen): "Laughing is a very important aspect of being an overlord."

Lucifer & Alastor (in the background): "Not wrong!"

Charlie: "Hey, you two finally agreed on something."

Lucifer: "Of course! As the ruler of hell, I had years of practice. The trick is the slow build up chuckle to the bombing guffaw like that kid just did."

Alastor: "Please, true masters of fear know that echo area is everything. You need the right spot to send shockwaves of your voice as far as possible to send shivers down as many spines as possible."

Lucifer: "And how are you going to do that if your laugh is as weak as a whimper?"

Alastor: "Better that than risk throwing out your voice for the rest of the day."

Charlie: "And there it is..."

-later...-

Laharl (through the screen): "Call me "your highness". I'm the overlord now."

Etna (through the screen): "Come on, that's a minor detail."

Lucifer, Husk, Alastor and Laharl: "MINOR detail?!"

Charlie: "And we're back to everyone agreeing. Am I missing something?"

-later-

Etna (through the screen): "It may be ridiculous to you, but it's important to him! This is a perfect way to begin your rule as overlord! And if you don't do it, I'll NEVER accept you as the overlord!"

Angel Dust: starts munching on popcorn "I'm really starting to like this Etna girl."

Charlie: "I mean she's not wrong, though I never heard of any overlord doing that before."

Lucifer: "You could have atoning overlords look for all the ducks I scattered across the place."

Charlie: *gasp* "Dad! That's a great idea! Let me write that down!"

-later-

Charlie: "Wait, who would keep a zombie as a pet?"

Nifty: "Hey! Check out the zombie I found abandoned on the street!"

Vaggie: "Nifty, NO!"

-later-

Etna (through the screen): "Back when I started working at the castle, I was teased and picked on for being a commoner."

Flonne (through the screen): "YOU were? That's hard to believe."

Vaggie & Angel Dust: "Not really."

-later-

Etna (through the screen): "When I told the king what happened, he helped me bury my pet."

Flonne (through the screen): "He must have been a kind man."

Charlie: "He really does sound very nice."

Lucifer: "Ain't he the same guy the froze all of the Netherworld's water after Laharl was born?"

Alastor: "And split one of the human worlds in half after his wife died?"

Angel Dust: "Someone tell Nifty to get a new freshener, because this place is starting to wreak with envy."

-later-

Aremis (through the screen): "The fists of a dark karate master, the legs of the fastest demon in the Netherworld, the brain of Mahogany, the Iron Body of Hercules... and a horse wiener! All combined into one, the Netherworld's ultimate zombie!"

Laharl & Charlie: "A horse wiener?!"

Lucifer: "You sure this isn't a porn, Charlie?"

Angel Dust: "Trust me, if it was, that horse wiener would be in full view for everyone to see right before it gets shoved down someone's ass."

-later-

Laharl (through the screen): "And don't bother to thank me. If you want to show gratitude, you can repay me with your body."

Etna (through the screen): "I never knew you were like that."

Angel Dust: "Okay, on second thought, maybe this is a porno."

Charlie: "This is NOT an A rated game!"

-later-

Flonne (through the screen): (If you open your heart, you will surely grow and learn many new things, whether you're an angel or a demon. If I can explain this to other angels, maybe they'll see that not all demons are evil...)

Charlie: "Go for it Flonne! I believe in you!"

Vaggie: "You're really getting attached to her, aren't you?"

Charlie: "Don't worry, Vaggie. You're still my number one angel."

Lucifer: "Wait, what about me?"

Charlie: *blushes* "Uuhhh..."

Lucifer: "Ah, just messing with ya." rubs Charlie's hair.

Charlie: "Dad! We have a no bullying rule here!"

Chapter 8:

Charlie: "Why are the prinnies singing? They have good harmony, but it's a bit eerie... Wait, they're deserting the castle? Why?"

Red Prinny (through the screen): "Don't try to stop them. Just let them be."

Charlie: "?"

Red Prinny (through the screen): "They were finally able to atone for their sins. The only thing we can do now is pray for their happiness in their next lives..."

Charlie: "Next lives? The prinnies are reincarnating? They were about to atone for their sins? Could this be what I've been looking for? Vaggie! Dad!"

Vaggie: "What's up?"

Lucifer: "You summoned?"

Charlie: "Come sit with me! This chapter might have the key to freeing atoning souls down here!"

Vaggie: "You do know this is just a game, right?"

Charlie: "Yeah, that's why I said "might", but it could at least give us a clue on how to do it ourselves. I'm not going to lose focus for a single moment."

Lucifer: "How likely do you think she's going to crash at the end of the chapter from over exertion?"

Vaggie: "It's your daughter we're talking about, so extremely."

Lucifer: "I'll get the bed and snacks ready."

-later-

Flonne (through the screen): "You have never called me by my name! Not once since the first time we met!"

Lucifer: "Holy shit, really?"

Charlie: "Can confirm. He's pretty inconsiderate."

Vaggie: "Not too different from the other overlords here in Hell."

Charlie: "Yeah but..."

Flonne & Charlie: "He'll never become a respected ruler with an attitude like that."

-later-

Etna (through the screen): "Well the prince's case is a bit unique. You see his mother, the queen as always talking about love and kindness. I guess she couldn't help it being a human and all."

Flonne, Charlie, & Lucifer: "His mother was a human?"

Etna (through the screen): "Yup. She was a witch who came here to study but was captured by demons during her stay. When the king rescued her, the two fell in love and soon the prince was born. She was always saying stuff like "demons can love too". Whenever the prince did something bad, she would scold him because she wanted to raise him to be a kind boy."

Charlie: "Sounds just like mom during by teenager years."

Vaggie: "Hard to imagine you doing something bad."

Lucifer: "Trust me, her emo phase was NOT pretty. I was honestly worried she wouldn't grow out of it."

Charlie: "I still have pictures if you want to see."

Vaggie: "Later. I want to know how Laharl ended up this way."

Etna (through the screen): "The queen died. A long time ago, the prince was infected with a rare disease that even the king couldn't cure. There was only one way to save him."

Flonne (through the screen): "Which was..."

Etna & Lucifer: "...The life of one who loved him."

Charlie: "Dad?"

Lucifer: "The queen used a spell that took her life so her son could live."

Vaggie: "How do you know that, sir?"

Lucifer: "Let's just say it was one of my personal failures trying to help everyone escape this place."

Etna (through the screen): "It was at that point where the prince started hating love and kindness."

Charlie: "So Laharl's trying to cope with his mother's death by discarding love and kindness. That's terrible."

Vaggie: "Everyone grieves in their own way, Charlie."

-later-

Red Prinny: "The red moon purifies those sins so they can be reborn."

Charlie: "So that's why they were singing earlier. It's the Red Moon! The Red Moon is the key!"

Vaggie: "Once again, it's just a game. Besides, Hell doesn't have a Red Moon."

Lucifer: "I think there's a blood moon. Maybe that could-"

Laharl (through the screen): "Shut up! I never gave them permission for that! We'll drag them back if we have to!"

Charlie: "That is the most horrible and inconsiderate thing I've ever heard! What is wrong with you?!"

Vaggie: "Easy Charlie, try not to get too worked up."

??? (through the screen): "Wait... take prinny souls to red moon... no one interfere..."

Lucifer: "Is that death? He's gotten a little smaller than I last saw him."

-later-

Laharl (through the screen): "It's what's best for their sake? I see, then I'll let them go."

Charlie: *huge sigh* "I'm so glad he finally understands how important this is."

Vaggie: "I'm glad you managed to relax."

Charlie: "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, Vaggie."

Lucifer: "You were scaring ME for a second."

Flonne: "What sin... What sin did you commit?"

Red Prinny (through the screen): "I took my own life. Taking your own life is a grave sin... but I had to... to save my son's life."

Everyone: -!!-

Red Prinny (through the screen): "Because of my death, my son shut his feelings, but he's changing ever so slowly and it's thanks to the wonderful people around him. My work here is done. The rest is up to my son."

Flonne & Charlie: "You're just going to leave?! Not even a goodbye, despite how much you love him?!"

Red Prinny (through the screen): "What cruel words you speak... Of course I would like to reveal myself. Of course I would like to hug my son with my own hands, but if we're destined to part again, wouldn't it be better to watch from afar and leave without a single word? He has suffered enough already... My silence is how I show my love."

Charlie: "..."

Laharl's mother: "Prince, take care..."

-later-

Vaggie: "You okay Charlie?"

Charlie: Wipes away a tear. "Y-Yeah, I'm alright. That was quite the emotional roller-coaster."

Lucifer: "Cheer up. After all, now we might have the clues we need to help all the souls trapped down here."

Charlie: "You're right. And I've... I've gotten it all written down. All that's left is to go over everything and... come up with a plan."

Vaggie: "Maybe you should take another break first. You got pretty worked up again back there."

Charlie: "Yeah, you're right... but first... is okay that we finish the chapter... see the rest of the prinnies off?"

Lucifer: "...Of course, kiddo."

Prinnies & Charlie: "Red moon red moon... Cleanses the sinful and makes them anew... Prinnies, Charlie, & Vaggie: "Shining brightly in the night sky, waiting for the souls..." Prinnies, Charlie, Vaggie, & Lucifer: "Who will be born again tonight?" "Who will be born again... tonight?"

Alastor: "..." Walks away from the bedroom door."

Photo

A Market Stall in Batavia, Andries Beeckman (attributed to), Albert Eckhout (rejected attribution), c. 1640 - c. 1666

The Dutch and Malay inscriptions on the piece of paper in the lower right corner identify this as a Dutch painting of subjects studied on the spot. Most of the fruit varieties are found only in Indonesia, the former Dutch East Indies, and were not exported to Europe at the time. The combination of figures from different countries suggests that the setting is most probably the very cosmopolitan Batavia, modern-day Jakarta.8 A Chinese merchant, recognizable as such from his distinctive goatee, moustache and remarkably long fingernails, is counting coins in a fruit stall set off with bamboo partitions. Standing on the left is a woman wearing a typically Javanese sarong and kebaya and holding a small cigar in one hand while placing a durian upright with the other. A second Javanese woman in the middle is lifting a small bundle of leaf wrappers out of a small Japanese lacquered casket, probably betel leaves. A boy behind her is picking a banana from the bunch hanging on the right. A striking salmon-crested cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis) is perched on the bamboo screen at the back.

Andries Beeckman went to great lengths to depict the huge diversity of tropical fruit as faithfully as possible, but he was clearly not a professional still-life painter. The different varieties are easily distinguished, but their textures are not convincing. Laid out on the table – some with numbers matching the list on the piece of paper (the latter are given between brackets below) – are, on the far left, from top to bottom, rambutans (Nephelium lappaceum, no. 1), langsats (Lansium domesticum, no. 3) and starfruit (Averrhoa carambola, no. 2). Beside them are a partly cut pomelo (Citrus maxima, no. 4) and durians, one of them sliced (Durio, no. 5). The three small pieces of red fruit at bottom left are water or Malay apples (Syzygium aqueum or Syzygium malaccense, no. 6) or Java apples (Syzygium samarangense), and lying to their right are mangoes (Mangifera indica, no. 7) and pineapples (Ananas comosus, no. 8). Below the two pineapples in the centre are jackfruit, one halved (Artocarpus Heteropyllus, no. 9) and several small mangosteens, some opened (Garcinia mangostana, no. 10). On the right are bananas (no. 11), five coconuts and a halved one (Cocos nucifera), and at the very front cashew apples (Anacardium occidentale). The fruit cut in two in the Japanese casket is probably a sort of lime called a Calamondin orange (Citrofortunella microcarpa).

The Rijksmuseum painting is a reduced version of a canvas from an anonymous series of scenes of foreign peoples and produce that decorated the walls of Schloss Pretzsch an der Elbe in Saxony until 1828 (fig. a).9 In the nineteenth century they were removed, first to Berlin and then to Schloss Schwedt an der Oder in Brandenburg.10 They were seen there in the 1930s by Thomsen, who rather hesitantly attributed them to Albert Eckhout and dated them around the middle of the seventeenth century.11 Schwedt was completely destroyed in the closing days of the Second World War, and all that is left of the works of art are pre-war black-and-white photographs making it clear that the attribution to Eckhout is untenable.12

The connection with the canvas from Schloss Pretzsch also led to this Market Stall in Batavia being wrongly attributed to Eckhout or his circle in the past.13 It is woodenly executed, compositionally clumsy, and is not of the kind of Brazilian subject for which Eckhout is known. Minor differences between the two paintings show that they were not copied after each other but seem to share the same or a similar source. The way in which the fruit and cockatoo are depicted displays a clear resemblance to the only known still life by Andries Beeckman (fig. b), and, interestingly, one of the scenes from the series in Pretzsch castle was definitely based on watercolours by him,14 so the present canvas could also be by Beeckman or someone from his circle.

Very little is known about the picture’s provenance, although there are a few early records of an Indonesian fruit market, and since A Market Stall in Batavia is the only surviving work of that nature there is a great temptation to associate it with those early sources. There is, however, nothing that can be said for certain. Around 1660 Jan Vos wrote an ode about paintings in the collection of Joan Huydecooper, among them an ‘East Indies fruit market’: ‘Who has driven me from the north to the east? / I find myself in the market of the East Indies coast. / Here nature displays her fruit as food for life. / The sight makes my mouth desire the beautiful harvest, / Thus is my stomach now sorely overburdened. / Greedy eyes are not soon satiated’.15 It may well be that the poet was referring to the Rijksmuseum canvas.16 There is a second mention of an ‘East Indies fruit market’ a little later in the collection of burgomaster Mattheus van den Broucke of Dordrecht.17 It is far from obvious that it refers to this Market Stall in Batavia. His picture was one of a series of which the others were described as ‘One ditto, with East Indies animals and fruit’, ‘One ditto, being East Indies lodgings, ‘One ditto’, ‘Three ditto, East Indies women’ and ‘A Moorish woman’.18 It is very possible that the Rijksmuseum painting was also part of a larger ensemble of that kind.

WIP Whenever

I was tagged by @medtech-mara for the weekly WIP report. Here's the latest stories.

Cyberpunk RED: How to Save a Life

"My name's Avery, I'm a netrunner."

Cyberpunk RED-era Data Entry, using default Photo Mode frames and backgrounds.

Yesterday I revealed Avery Greer, an FIA netrunner. She's cynical, possibly clinically depressed (my notes say that she's pathologically unable to smile) and desires change in her life. She has already decided that her future does not involve the NUSA or the FIA. She may already have plans in motion to engineer her escape.

She works under a senior FIA agent named Hunter 'Bishop' Wilkes. Bishop is ride-or-die for the NUSA and has already been betrayed by a netrunner before (their AV was hacked by a netrunner who made a covert deal with an African militia to hand over FIA secrets in exchange for safe passage to Nairobi, and from Nairobi to Luna). He already suspects that her change in behaviour could be a prelude to betrayal, and already has her under close watch.

You're gonna see more of her.

Bakeneko: Select images from their latest show

A teaser for a photo story coming next week!

Vega Hawse sings Bakeneko's first original song Wolverines!, written by Dorian 'Durian' Bautista (image credit: NCT News)

Another day, another pic in the screamsheets of So Mi living her best life in NC with Vega (this displeases Myers).

In 2078, Dorian Bautista (y'know, Dorian, the former corpo, turned fixer, then rockerboy) founded a band named Bakeneko ("Changed Cat"). They originally were a Samurai cover band, but something was off about their sound.

Then V came back... well, kinda. Vega's technically genetically 33% Johnny Silverhand and is a hybrid consciousness, but one with all of Johnny's memories and skills, as well as perfect knowledge of every SAMURAI song. Dorian reached out, and after some slightly mocking encouragement from Johnny, Vega joined Bakeneko and became the band's frontwoman.

In mid-2079, Bakeneko signed on with Silverhand Studios. While they still do SAMURAI covers, Vega (and by proxy, Johnny) and Dorian are working on an original EP, due to come out in 2080. Rumours that Kerry Eurodyne will appear in one of the songs are currently unconfirmed by N54 News.

MR BLUE EYES INTERROGATES AN FIA ASSASSIN

Warning: the following story references torture

The agent sat in the darkened room, his face and chest bloody. Electrodes were still attached to the more sensitive parts of his chest and torso. A black-uniformed soldier with blue glowing techgogs threw a bucket of icy water over the agent. He yelped as the ice pelted his bruised and bloodied skin, "Wake the fuck up, fedscum!"

"What the fuck do you want!?" screamed the agent, "just tell me what you want! I'll tell you anything! Just make it stop!"

A man stepped into the room, temporarily blinding the agent as the light of the hallway blasted into the room. He turned to the soldier, his blue eyes glowing in the darkness, "That'll be all."

"Sir."

Mr Blue Eyes circled the FIA agent, "Who was your target?"

"It was a traitor."

Mr Blue Eyes produced a stun baton, and without a second thought, drove the baton into the man's ribs. He cried in pain as electricity coursed through his vulnerable flank, "Specifics, please, Mr Jordan."

"It... her name is Song So Mi. She attempted to kill President Myers. There's a one million eddie bounty on her head."

He nodded, putting the baton back on the tool bench, "See, you can be cooperative... I'm going to let you go, Mr Jordan. In a few hours, you'll be back in Langley, no doubt being treated by the FIA's best medtechs."

"W-what?"

"But not without conditions," Mr Blue Eyes told him, kneeling and grabbing the man by the jaw so his eyes met the agent's, "You'll be sending Ms. Myers a message. Night City is off limits to the NUSA, and by extension, so are Song So Mi and Vega Hawse. If me, or my associates, find your agency operating in our city again, and especially if we find you harassing them, there will be consequences."

"A-are you nuts? Myers will never listen to that!"

Mr B shrugged, "You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, Mr Jordan. All you need to do is deliver the message to the FIA, and you'll be home free. Do we have an accord?"

Jordan bowed his head, "Fine."

Mr B turned to the soldier, "Find this man some clothes and bring him to NCX. He has a flight to catch back to Washington."

"Yes, sir."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's about it for this week. Normally these come around Wednesday, but today's the day I guess.

People have probably already been tagged for this, but I'm gonna tag: @genocidalfetus @byberbunk2069 @theviridianbunny. Absolutely no pressure involved, only if you want to :)

Joel, holding a baseball bat: There’s no need to be afraid of me. I don’t bite.

Mort, standing a safe distance away: Yeah, but do you wack?

Joel:

Joel: I don’t bite.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charles: I don’t know about this, Jake.

Jake: The last time you said that Hoffer you ended up loving it.

Charles: The last time I said that you were holding a bag of durian flavored chips; now you’re holding a roman candle. They are two very different things.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nate: You remind me of a Russian doll.

Alicia: Aw, thank yo—

Nate: Full of yourself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kato: If anyone has any questions, ask me.

Bobbie: If a bear and a shark had a fight, who would win?

Kato: ... If anyone has any RELEVANT questions, ask me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wendy (a warlock): Do we not have a plan?

Sam, playing barbarian: Who needs a plan? I’ve got an axe.

Sam: *starts running ahead*

Kato, the very tired DM: An axe is not a plan!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flick: One time Jake and Juniper were having a heated argument in the car and Juniper took Jake's Queen tape out of the player and threw it out the window with rage and Jake looked her dead in the eyes and pulled out a second copy of that same tape and put it back in the player.

Buddy:...And Jake’s still alive?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dad: Tell your mother everything is fine.

Joel: Hey, Mom! We haven't eaten for days, your plants are dead, and I'm dropping out of school. Love ya, bye!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kato: What? Didn't I specifically tell you not to do specifically, exactly just that?

Alex: Actually, specifically, you said not to *humiliate* you by doing that. So, we won't!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richard: 99% of the time, whenever random violent crap happens, it seems you're somehow involved!

Joel: Can't you have a little faith in that last 1%?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buddy: *screams*

Joel: *screams louder to establish dominance*

Flick, concerned: Um, shouldn’t we do something?

Patty: No, I want to see who wins this time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake: Fun fact of the day: pen ink tastes like almonds..... don't try to suck the ink out of your pens kids it's disgusting and makes your mouth feel funny.

Patty: Why would you even do that?

Jake *shrugs*: I was bored.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bobbie at Alicia’s house: I love jacuzzis!

Bobbie: Sometimes I pretend that I'm getting captured by witches and they're using me to make soup!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juniper: I know this is going to sound sarcastic, but this is a great plan and I’m really impressed with you guys.

Buddy:

Nate:

Sam: Don’t listen to her, this is a great plan.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wendy: Kato, are you sure you don't wanna use my graduation speech? It goes like this: Later, losers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alicia: Due to enormous personal flaws I refuse to work on, I will be arriving extremely late with an iced coffee. Please respect that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juniper: I am so hungover. I have never been this hungover. Are we dead?

Alex: I feel great, I ran 5k this morning.

Flick: Really?

Alex: No I threw up in the shower.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joel: My life is a cautionary tale, but like a cool, flashy one that instead of inspiring people to do better it inspires them to be more chaotic

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juniper: can we go to a haunted house?

Mom: what’s wrong with the one we live in?

Joel: wh- wait what?!

Mom: goodnight Children.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Humphrey: Mr. Jake, what’s your favorite food?

Jake, deadpan: Children.

Flick: JACOB!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nate: Are you crazy?

Joel: Legally no, there's not a word for my condition.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charles: [casually taking four stairs at a time]

Wendy, falling behind: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fu-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kato: Dear people who won’t stop asking- Yes, I am actually feeling fine, and yes, I really have been getting a decent amount of sleep at night!

Kato *bites into an onion*

Kato: Hey, this apple tastes like shi-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richard: *puts a cup down over a spider*

Joel: *appears; smiles; puts 2 more cups down beside Jay’s*

Richard: Come on, Joel, please no, don’t… DON’T—

Joel: *starts shuffling the cups*

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake: Hoffer, in your professional opinion, how would I die?

Charles: Murder. Gangland style execution. We never find your head.

Nate: That’s a shame.

Patty: *slightly raises finger in question*

Charles: You slip in a tub.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buddy about Jake: I'd follow him to hell and back, but I wish he'd stop going there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bobbie: I love to dismiss my horrible decisions by saying "yeah that was a weird time in my life" as if the rest of my existence hasn't been absolute clown shoes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alicia: I have met some of the most insufferable people. But they also met me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juniper: When I was small-

Kato: *chuckles* Was?
