Keep in mind that My wedding stories game pack was still a year away from release, so the interactions at this wedding were the ones available since 2014
Hey friends! I unexpectedly posted an update to my Sunflower Sk8 the Infinity fic series! I wrote it for CarlaWeek on Twitter, for the prompt ‘AI Friendship’.
It has some spoilers for the next fic in the series, which I hope to start posting by end of January, so do with that what you will!
Is it unseemly to place Miss AI Carla modifying and improving the functions of a toilet? Sakurayashiki-sensei may be pleased that Miss AI Carla is everywhere. I made it a long time ago and was my first recolor of SK8 for the game, but when I used it, "C" remained on the wall and became invisible, so I wanted to show it in this photo.
The "C" is the logo of Sakurayashiki-sensei's AI Carla.
This picture was uploaded on my Twitter on November 25th, 2021.
You can see more of AI Carla's managing toilet functions and in other technological objects in @lea-heartscxiv's Twitter that is linked in his profile on story mode.
As I seem to be out of art block lately I'm starting again to draw to a different style besides chibi, so I wanted to try the color wheel challenge. On Twitter one told me about Carla and other one told me MIYA in purple so here it's. For MIYA's pose I based it on Thrasher's January 1984 magazine cover, and I love the way final result has turned out. 💗
Next one will be JOE as green! I only have three colors left!

“Carla? Activate self-pleasure mode.”
“What is your desired program today, master?”
Kaoru considered the earnest question, but he had no answer this time. He only knew that he’d had a difficult client this afternoon and required some kind of stress relief. Luckily, he was confident that Carla would oblige him happily… or, as happily as an AI-enabled skateboard could.
“Why don’t you surprise me,” he suggested.
“Very well, master.”
Something fun I wrote 2 yrs ago, aka thinking about what Kaoru and Carla might get up to in the bedroom.
One thing I’ve noticed in this fandom is that many people assume that Cherry’s skating style is lesser- or easier- than many of the other skaters at “S” and that he can’t do anything without Carla. Some people also take Adam’s “boring” remark as a statement of fact rather than something meant to cause further pain to someone who was already down.
There hasn’t been a set group of people doing this, it’s pretty much all over the fandom; even fans of the character get into this mindset. And, frankly, I want to say:
Carla’s calculations don’t mean shit if Cherry doesn’t hit that angle.
Yes, Carla tells Kaoru what angle a curve is going to be and how far away it is/time to it, however, it is up to him and his skills as a skater to be able to hit that angle, and he has to hit it perfectly for her calculations to have been of any use.
Carla’s calculations as a whole are only useful for that one match as well. We’ve been shown in episode one that the “S” track is constantly changing. Multiple trees fall and a rock slide happens during Langa’s race against Shadow, and whatever scans and calculations Carla would have made on one pass down the track would be completely useless for a second run.
Carla does not skate for Cherry- if she did then there would be no need for her to calculate angles- Kaoru is the one in control and he is the one putting in most of the work. Note:
Cherry is the one who has to keep his balance and footing when his skateboard is transforming from short form to long form and vice versa.
Cherry is the one who skated a curve with his eyes closed while also dodging Adam’s Love Hug- which could have gone wrong in a multitude of ways, i.e. Cherry’s hair getting caught under his board, Adam shifting his position and running over Cherry, Adam grabbing onto Cherry’s pony tail and dragging him along the track, etc.
-
Carla’s use while skating (or observing) are also overstated by fandom. Cherry does not use Carla to determine if someone’s body tilt is off or if they should change their footing; he does that all with his own mind. Remember, this is the same character that:
Knew that Langa was a snowboarder after seeing him put his foot on a skateboard for the first time outside his studio.
Wasn’t in the least bit surprised that Langa had been snowboarding since he was 2yrs old, and comments on his improvements in skateboarding in such a short time period.
Determined that Joe’s body tilt was off and that he was losing time to Langa during their beef down to the milliseconds.
Predicted Adam’s move-set during Reki’s first beef with Adam.
Immediately recognized that Reki wasn’t doing his best during the start of his second race against Adam.
We have to remember that Carla is Cherry’s assistant. While she is very important to him (and that’s another post I’ll make later), she is not the one who is in control and never will be.
-
On two (final) notes:
One, remember that it was Cherry that Reki went to to ask for help in Langa’s first beef against Adam. Remember that during that beef that Langa flashes back to Cherry’s advice to help him during the first half. And remember that during Langa’s second beef with Adam, Langa uses Cherry’s move to dodge Adam’s Love Hug Full Swing Kiss Combo.
-
Two, there’s a reason why some of the S Gallery were considering Adam v. Cherry to “already be the finale”, and that’s because Cherry is a formidable opponent.
Think about how difficult it must be to face up against the “perfect skater”- and how enticing the thought of maybe beating him must be. Any little mistake you could possibly make would put you behind big time. He has the ability to change the shape of his board to go faster down the track and his skill in maneuverability was thought to the factor that would win in his beef against Adam had they actually made it to the factory as Adam’s speed wouldn’t have helped him inside the dilapidated building.
