#completely forgot it came out on the 25th
Note
(Espero que se me sea entendible)
Que opinión tienes de que Eo haya dicho:
"because it's the only time you'll spend with me."
En vez de:
"because it's the only time I'll spend with you
Te entiendo sì :) Sorry my Spanish isn't good enough for a complete answer but I do understand it well enough.
So the reason why Eo says "It's the only time YOU will spend with me", and not "the only time I will spend with you", is because he does spend a lot of time with Barry even if Barry is normally not aware of it.
Eo follows him around, spies on him, literally stalks him day and night and keeps him under control, he does spend a lot of time with him.
It doesn't work the other way around though! Barry doesn't know Eo is there (and even when he suspects it, they don't really interact), so he doesn't in fact spend time with Eobard in return. It's a one way thing in which Eobard watches and looks and observes but never acts, like when he came back from the however many years he was tortured in prison and started just following Barry around, watching him without ever interacting (Eo was being ridiculously shy about it, and the funny thing is that at that point, Barry would have likely been happy to see him and greeted him like an old friend).
Conversely, when Eobard is actively making his life impossible, Barry is forced to react to the things he's put through, therefore he will "spend time with him".
See, Eo has this distorted view of relationships in which spending time with a loved one means that the ONLY WAY he has to be noticed and get the other person to give him attention, is through breaking things. As a child he was ignored by his parents who locked him in a playpen and never even turned towards him, and the only way he had to get them to pay attention to him was to break expensive toys.
That would get his father to finally notice his existence and beat him up, which hey, I'm sure it won't traumatize a small child at all!
If you can go past the terrible art, this is what his life has been like for a good chunk of his childhood (then his parents genetically engineered another child and forced him to be his little brother's primary caretaker, while continuing to treat him like garbage).
And sure, now Eobard isn't a child anymore, but the 25th century is a bleak place and beside for the Flash comics he found refuge and comfort in, he didn't have any other guardian figure (or any friend really) who taught him how love even looks like.
So, when Barry loses his entire shit in Running Scared, absorbs the Negative Speedforce and beats the everliving hell out of him, from Eobard's perspective he's still giving him attention! It worked, he broke "enough toys" to get Barry to spend time with him!
... In the sense that he was a menace for long enough and threatened Iris enough times, and it's interesting to me how in Running Scared he is so disoriented and so overpowered that he could do 200% more damage, but truly his only goal is getting Barry to spend time with him therefore he keeps said damage to a minimum.
He could have killed Ace, but he just tossed him around a bit. He could have killed Iris, and he barely even touched a hair on her head. He brought her to the 25th century after realizing that she didn't remember barely anything about him (unacceptable! One of the most important people in his life forgot shit about him!!), but beside scaring her, the whole RS arc ends with Iris sporting not even a bruise.
The entirety of Running Scared could be summarized with "local time traveler gets brought back to life by his crush, is disoriented as fuck and in his need for attention makes a mess and gets himself killed again (by his other crush)". And in my strictly personal opinion, the reason why his antics look especially childish in Running Scared also comes from the fact that he's indeed extremely disoriented, both by the whole flashpoint paradox situation (he can't forget anything while everyone else has altered memories!), and by the fact that he literally just died and came back to life. Imagine the headache.

It’s a Christmas Concert！〜My Queen of the Night Bloomed Again！〜
Last night, my Queen of the Night bloomed〜＼(^o^)／This is how she looked during the day. Just about to burst into blooming. This time, 3 blossoms came out at the same time✨🌼🌼🌼✨ I'm super happy about that because it's been a long time since my plant has bloomed 🥰Surprisingly, the scent was pretty strong yesterday 😳I wonder why? It felt more overwhelming than usual, the scent spread throughout the entire house😳 I wonder if it's because three buds started blooming at the same time 🤔 But that’s something that has happened before so I am not sure why the scent was this strong...🤔Maybe I just forgot about the strong smell🥺 The mystery deepens...
Hello, this is Wakana (0￣▽￣0)／
Maybe it's because I didn't water my baby enough during the hot summer months? 😳Somehow the nutrients might have been successfully preserved in the flowers? I have no idea (´ε｀ ) I will post pictures of the blossoms on Instagram, so please check them out🧚💕
Well, the other day, we finally got to announce my "Wakana Classics 2022 ~Christmas Special~"!! ️\\\\٩( 'ω' )و //// This is gonna be my third time ending the year with a concert at Kioi Hall🥰✨I am so grateful that I have been able to hold this sort of concert for three years in a row ever since 2020. Back then during, the world had changed completely and it made me almost desperate to share my music with you. However, there were many moments when I despaired at how little I could do, I was confronted with so many of my weaknesses and inadequacies. Those days were filled with a lot of self-reflection and I felt like I was a huge burden to everyone...(TдT)←To be honest, I still feel this way...Even so, everyone came to see and provided warm support, I was truly grateful. It once again made me realise that live concert can only exist with the help of many people coming together. In that way, I feel Kioi Hall is filled with lots of precious memories.
Now this year will be my third time at the venue, my concert will be held on December 25th, Christmas Day! ️🦌🎅✨I'm sorry for picking such a festive date, hopefully I am not interfering too much with your schedule for this once-in-a-year special occasion😂😂I would be more than happy to spend such a wonderful day with you, so please be sure to come!! This time, we are also offering a special ticket 🥰It includes a present 🎁 and some as-of-yet unspecified fun after-live-activitiy. I'm so excited! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡ What should we do!? Would you like to have a gyoza after-party with me?! *laughs* No, I'm sorry, I’m just kidding. We can’t really do that😂😂 But that’s pretty much what I would like to do, I just want to create even more wonderful memories with everyone😍💕
Last but not least, here are some off-shots from the concert visual shoot 📸Look at me laughing in the second one...
Until next time~☆(*'▽'*)/
＊＊＊Wakana＊＊＊
#kalafina#wakana#wakana blog#fan club exclusive content#botanical land#I would die if we did anything even close to a gyoza after party XD

Doctor
— [ELYSIUM] {NONCANON}
• characters :: hawks / takami keigo, ryouga atsumu + hero public safety commission (briefly)
• content :: angst, post-break up reunion, childhood friends to lovers to strangers to best friends again(?)
• warnings :: atsukei-typical angst
prompt / synopsis :: two years can change someone greatly; that doesn't mean the feelings one held toward them had to as well. unfortunately.
word count :: 1.3k
a/n :: haha this didn't go the way i originally planned because i fucking fORGOT HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO but it's okay it's basically still the same at its core just different dialogue? well most of the interaction is different from what actually happened hence the semicanon BUT I'M RAMBLING enjoy the food <3
The Wing Hero's eyebrows furrowed, accompanying the frown on his face, as he anxiously scrolled on his phone — persistently rereading the same text message over and over and over. He exhaled through his nostrils, the unease in his body unfortunately staying there rather than releasing with his breath.
He stared at his screen at the message from the HPSC, trying to wrap his head around the words that were delivered just the night before.
“ Doc Apollo will be returning to Japan shortly; I'm sure you've heard.
His private flight is scheduled for tomorrow, March 25th, and is estimated to land at 4 o'clock sharp.
A group of higher-ups, investors, and other individuals will be awaiting his arrival at an area near the hangar to welcome him.
Now, the important part: He wants you there. He specifically requested for you to be at the building itself when his jet arrives, likely intending to meet up with you as a priority.
However, this is not an order. I'm simply conveying a message.
It is up to you if you wish to be there.
That is all. ”
After everything that happened, one could hardly blame the disbelief that quickly formed. Hawks, now twenty-two years old, ran a hand through his hair, a myriad of emotions threatening to overtake him. Stress, confusion, thrill — they all boiled up to the surface akin to magma in a volcano that had been declared extinct for years.
He just couldn't understand anything. His mind raced with questions at a speed that even rivaled his own. What was he even supposed to be feeling? Why did Atsumu want to see him? Why didn't he reach out himself?
How has he been doing?
Hawks sighed heavily and leaned his head back, hitting the inner walls of the hangar. He ran a hand over his face, taking a deep, somewhat shaky breath to calm himself.
At this stage, Hawks was well past denying the fact that he definitely hadn't moved on. Maybe the second half of the first year had him fooling himself, convinced he'd be fine on his own, but he could only lie so much until the inconsistencies in his claims glared holes into themselves, eventually shattering the image of having 'come to peace with it' completely.
While it hurt to admit, pretending as if the opposite were true stung even more.
So he still liked Atsumu two years after their break up. Big deal.
Two years typically wouldn't feel like such a long time, but without anything to look forward to — without Atsumu — time passed by so excruciatingly slowly. That fact demonstrated itself so perfectly as Hawks stood in a near-empty field, staring blankly down the runway.
This was depressing. The very notion that he was even here was depressing.
But as the volume of an aircraft engine grew louder and louder, so did Hawks' heartbeat. Despite all of his nerves from just a few moments ago, in that moment, all he felt was an indescribable excitement at the thought of finally seeing his best friend again.
Because that's what Atsumu was, even after two years of radio silence.
He was his friend for much longer than that first.
Once the jet came to a full stop, it was already a few minutes past 4 p.m. Hawks didn't mind. He waited patiently, heart thrumming in anticipation, although he looked as easygoing as he ever was from afar. He steadily approached the jet, his hands in his pockets struggled to stay still as he closely watched the airstairs unfurl, and the cabin door gradually open—
"Ah, the air here's so much colder..." His voice rang like melodious wind chimes in Hawks' ears in spite of the slight rasp to it.
A yawn left the passenger's lips, small droplets of salt forming at the corners of his eyes. He brought a gloved hand up to wipe them away, simultaneously scanning his surroundings. And then, his gaze landed on the dirty blond who never took his eyes off of him since he came into view.
He froze, a hand on the railing while another rubbed his eyes comically. Hawks would've laughed had he not been holding his breath.
"...Keigo?"
The simple utterance of his name almost brought Hawks to his knees. He couldn't fall apart so easily right there; he just couldn't. Instead, he took a deep breath and smiled warmly, waving a hand.
"Hey, Ats—"
Hawks wasn't even given the opportunity to finish his greeting before Atsumu practically jumped off of the stairs and launched himself toward him. Instinctively, Hawks reached forward as well, successfully catching the other in time to feel his bubbling laughter against his chest.
Finding the sound contagious, Hawks gritted his teeth as he did his best to remain professional; distant; aloof; formal; restrained— All in vain, for he couldn't suppress the joy creeping up the corners of his lips. He joined in the childlike giggles before shutting his eyes, relishing in the moment while he got the chance to hold Atsumu this closely once more.
This was too much. He knew that.
But he was too happy to let go.
Eventually, Atsumu was the first to pull back, resting his hands on Hawks' shoulders. He seemed to get stuck, pursing his lips as he searched for something to say. His gaze then fell on where they still touched, lingering, until he timidly retracted his hands and anxiously tugged at the hems of his gloves.
"Uh—" While sounding slightly raspier, and more mature, Atsumu's voice still held every bit of 'Atsumu' that it always had. "Hi. Sorry, I shouldn't have..." He trailed off, sighing, "It's been a while, I..."
"Got excited?" Hawks chuckled, putting his hands in his pockets. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to keep them to himself otherwise. Shaking his head, the Hero simply shrugged, "It's okay. I'd be lying if I wasn't happy to see you, too."
Atsumu glanced up at him, unconvinced. The fiddling didn't stop — only getting worse as he looked down at his hands, the discomfort in his knitted eyebrows growing more and more obvious.
Hawks' jaw clenched; he hoped, prayed Atsumu wouldn't bring up what he'd been avoiding thinking about since the jet landed.
He should have known better, though.
"...Kei, about what happened—"
"No, no," Hawks quickly interrupted, forcing out a laugh and putting on a bright smile, "It's okay! We were just kids, we.. didn't know any better. I understand a lot of things much more now." Words flowed too easily from his lips, as if he'd been waiting to speak them for eons. "Besides, the past is the past, it doesn't matter anymore; you're back!
"Now, we can just—" Subtly, his breath hitched as he lifted up a hand and offered the other a simple fist bump— "Go back to the way things were. If, y'know, you're fine with that."
Because Hawks definitely was. He was okay with pretending none of it happened.
He was.
Really.
The doctor didn't seem to believe him, however. His tangerine gaze flickered from place to place, searching Hawks' eyes for something. "You sure?" Atsumu asked cautiously, his worried expression ignored.
Waving a hand in dismissal, Hawks laughed once more, "Why wouldn't I be? Nothing could get between us even if we tried." That was true; it always had been, and it still was.
They both knew that.
A switch seemed to flip inside of Atsumu once he processed what was said. He smiled — a practiced, calculated thing. "That's great to hear! God, I was so nervous back there!" The merry chortle that left his mouth came very naturally, but to someone who'd heard what his genuine laughter sounded like, it was so incredibly counterfeit.
Hawks wasn't sure he liked the sudden, superficial change in demeanor.
This act was only ever reserved for people Atsumu kept at arm's length: Civilians, co-workers, Villains. Hawks was lucky enough to get a glimpse into Atsumu's truest form (as true as Atsumu could manage) back before the latter left Japan — back when they knew each other — but now...
Atsumu smiled at him the way he smiled at everyone else.

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Nebula! (The origin story is under the cut)
Nebula originated on September 10, 2020. This day was a huge day of firsts for her voice provider, which included:
Installing 3DMM for the first time (Pureiyan Park came soon after, 4 days later)
Recording an UTAUloid (which took until November 2020 to complete)
Being really cringe in the rhythm heaven fandom (yes that actually happened but a few wks earlier)
3 years ago today, it all started when someone in a dead rhythm heaven server from 2020 wanted to make an UTAUloid of the monkey from Rhythm Heaven. Ginger (the VP) then told them something along the lines of “i want to make a voice bank of Play-Yan’s voice”. And so, on that day, Nebula was born.
During early development, she was male. The voice samples sounded (a silly type of) masculine - same voice you’d hear in Pureiyan Park.
But the UTAU software was like “nope shes female”. But VP did change that because their headcanon of the Play-Yan species was that they had the same voice regardless of gender.
However this is not canon, as she is found out to be a blob. Just a regular blob of the female variety. Fun fact: blobs are born without gender - this confirms the speculation of Nebula being trans! (This PureiWeb iceberg from two years ago talks about it.)
Fun fact: VP didn’t hear Nebula’s voice until November that year when she was first tested out. Her “first words” were basically the Scales song that was sung by Bebo. (Beta Bebo where the samples didnt work)
She wasn’t named Nebula until September 25th. Earlier that day, VP was in an earth science class and learned about the life cycle of a star. They forgot it, but the word “nebula” stuck with them. So they named her Nebula. Otherwise for proof we have included two screenshots: top from dms and the bottom is from the dead as hell pureiweb server
She was then released on PureiWeb sometime in November around the time the website had a URL (www.pureiweb.com)
Bebo was released October 30th iirc. Although she was the first, she was released after bebo.

I'm an awful cheater even tho I don't have to be
My situation is different than most cheaters, but I think if there's anyone who will get it, it's the folks here. The TL;DR is that despite being in an open marriage for 30 years, nothing is as hot to me as breaking the rules, especially the unspoken ones, in the nastiest of ways.
My wife and I got married young, before we really understood what chemistry was. I'm sexually dominant, and she's not at all submissive. We realized our sex life wasn't going to work out, despite adoring each other, and decided to open our relationship. We set the ground rules: always use condoms, don't fuck in the house, nobody she was friends with, and we each have to approve. And for 15 years, I mostly followed them religiously. There were a couple times I forgot a condom in the heat of the moment but felt bad about it. I'm charming and attractive, so it was easy for me to find women, and I had many hot encounters. I got into kink in my 20s, and found a lot of play in the scene.
And then, when I was in my 30s, I met Carol on a dating website. I was open about my situation there, I'd had a lot of good experiences with single women and women in open relationships. Carol was actually cheating, she was up front about that. That was against the rules for me, but she was hot and I was definitely into her, so I thought I'd look the other way. By then my wife had decided it was okay to use our bedroom as long as I changed the sheets. When Carol came over, I dutifully put on a condom and we started fucking. She looked at me and asked, "do you like wearing those things?" I admitted I didn't, but it was the rules. She said "well I'm clean, and I'm already cheating, so I won't tell."
I took it off and from the moment I slid my bare cock into her, something changed in me. There was a rush like I'd never experienced before. We met many times, she loved when I called her hubby a little bitch boy. We hooked up for maybe three months, once I fucked her while she wore her wedding outfit, which, at the time was about the hottest experience ever. Despite that I felt guilty, we broke it off.
Fast forward to about a year before my 25th anni. A woman I'd used to play with, Susan, had reached out. We'd played by the rules at the time of course. But something had changed in her, she was wilder, and open to breaking them. She wanted to be a bad girl. And god, was she ever. In truth, I did have to lead her there. At first it was fucking on the sheets my wife and I use. Then came the day she noticed my wife's panties in the laundry hamper and said how they were sexier than anything she had. I said, you know what would be really bad? If you wore those while I fucked you.
When my 25th anni came along, I booked a hotel room for her. I brought her three of my wife's outfits, complete with panties, heels, stockings, dresses. I visited her three times during that day and used her as my cum dump slut while telling her how fucking hot she looked in my wife's clothes. I even let her use my wife's lipstick and perfume. She was into it, though, not as much as I was. It was mind blowingly hot to me. She eventually went on to date someone else, and I tried to let go of the hunger.
By this time I'd had a couple of regular girlfriends. Both good girls, both known to my wife. Despite trying to be good myself, the hunger was still there. I fucked my wife's former boss once. I fucked one of her friends. But neither of them had that particular fetish for being bad that I did.
During the pandemic, my girlfriends and I took a break since I was bubbled up with my wife. I was bored, and the hunger was back and awful. I made an online profile pretending to be an ordinary married man. I was just looking for online play, hoping it would satisfy the urge, but I actually met someone close to me. We had a long, hot, nasty conversation, she loved the idea of secretly humiliating our spouses. We met maybe a dozen times. She wore my wife's lingerie, she wore her favorite miniskirt, she squirted on her weed once, I painted her labia with my wife's lipstick once. But I think hottest of all was the things we'd say while fucking. When she called my wife a lazy ugly bitch, I had to struggle not to cum in her right then and there. Despite being 50 at the time I would regularly go 4 or 5 times in our hotel meetups.
I ended up calling it off because I was feeling bad about being dishonest with her, and I knew that my girlfriends and I would be back together soon. We caught feelings, which made it even harder to give her up, but I'd told her she was the only person I was fucking, and I wanted to at least honor that. And I tried to give it up completely.
But the hunger is still there. I occasionally indulge in online fantasies, with the nasty homewrecking types, the ones who want to push the limits with me. Would I ever do it in real life again? I'm not sure. If I met someone close enough to actually come to my house, god, I probably would. I'd probably let her wear my wife's wedding gown, if she was filthy enough. Despite loving my wife and her being a wonderful person, there's nothing that stirs me like being secretly awful.

[ LOCATION ] : THE BELIEF DIMENSION; THE NORTH POLE, DECEMBER 25TH, 6 AM
The Workshop was silent.
A few days ago, the place was buzzing with activity! Elves, Yetis, and Santas were all scrambling to finish loading up their sleighs. It was a frenzy! But now, as a lone Santa walked through the Workshop, it was practically empty!
“ Um.. HELLO??? “ He crossed his arms and tapped his boot-covered foot impatiently. “ Where is everyone?! Don’t tell me they’ve... deserted me?! I’m going to be trapped like this forever! “ Santa Devil’s bottom lip quivered for a few moments, but that sadness quickly turned into anger. He literally erupted into a rage- with flames surrounding him and everything.
“ RRRRRAAAAAGH- “
“ Is someone there? “
The sudden voice immediately brought Santa Devil’s temper tantrum to an end. He turned around and was stunned to see a handful of Santas (primarily, the genies) looking lost as well. In typical fashion, Santa Devil acted as if he was collected the entire time. He approached the others with his nose to the air.
“ It’s about TIME one of you answered me! What the HECK is going on here?? “
“ We’re not sure ourselves... “ Ded Moroz answered. He gave a worried look to Snegurochka who did her best to reassure Santa Devil.
“ We finished our world’s deliveries and came back as soon as we could! I was told that was the plan... “ Her eyes darted away for a second. “ Perhaps a few of the others are simply running late! “
“ RUNNING LATE? “ He snapped. “ That wasn’t part of this whole ORDEAL! I delivered the presents, I ATE the cookies, I want my CHOO-CHOO!! “
There were a few unsure looks given amongst the small group. Murmurs broke out as the Santas each spoke about their confusion. Suddenly through the commotion, the sound of flip-flops became louder and louder. Out of nowhere stood Sleepy Santa, now completely awake! He stared at the group with his brows furrowing together.
“ ...What on Earth are you all still doing up? “
His voice brought the small crowd to a halt. They faced him and one by one began to approach him for some clarity.
“ What do you mean, still doing up, Sleepy? “ Snegurochka asked. “ Where are the others? “
“ Hohoho, I forgot you’re all new here! “ Sleepy Santa chuckled. “ After deliveries, we Santas give ourselves at the very least a day to sleep before our big celebration! Aren’t you folks tired? “
“ That explains the empty workshop. “ Ded nodded, stroking his beard once.
“ Us Genies do not need sleep, “ Snegurochka answered. “ Our magic keeps us full of energy! “
“ SEMANTICS ASIDE, “ Monopolish interrupted. “ Do you ol’ plum-puddings REALLY need a whole DAY to sleep?! Some of us have got plans to destroy- I MEAN, uh, goldfish to tend to at home! “
“ And some of us are owed a CHOO-CHOO, helloooooo?! “ Santa Devil added.
Sleepy Santa held up his hands and shrugged.
“ I’m sorry everyone, you’ll just have to wait for everyone to wake up for the answers you need! It’s not up to me, here! “
“ WAIT FOR- “ Santa Devil’s eye twitched. He quickly pointed his trident at the other Santa and readied a shot. “ I’VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH!! “
Santa Devil was genuinely ready to fry this Santa Claus when he was could faintly hear Henchman’s voice in his head. He could do this. Do it for the Choo-Choo. The horned Santa Claus groaned, then lowered his staff.
“ ...Ugh. Nevermind. Tell me you AT LEAST have something to pass the time? “
Sleepy Santa’s expression changed from slight concern to genuine glee. He reached his arms around both Santa Devil & Snegurochka, then excitedly asked them.
“ Have any of you played Checkers before?! Hohoho, I’m quite the wiz at it!! “
Santa Devil’s ears and tail immediately drooped.
" This is going to be a long day, isn’t it...? “
Merry Christmas from Santaverse!
Also, Thank you for 300+ Followers!!
Everyone’s support legitimately fuels my creativity and eases my worries. I can’t thank you all enough.

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2008): Deus Vult II
Remember when I said that I would complete (or rather almost complete depending on the circumstances) two regions in AC: Valhalla (with other game in between)? Nevermind! Going back to WADs now otherwise that game might drive me crazy. But I’ll also increase the number of regions to complete between parts of the review to TWO, or else THIS WAD will drive me insane.
Speaking of today’s WAD and insanity...
AVE MARIA!!! DEUS VULT-
You slip and centrally hit your head on your desk.
...
Ow...
G1: Deus Vult II
Main author(s): Huy Pham (Doom Marine)
Release date: February 25th, 2008
Version(s) played: 2008-02-25c (that’s what the textfile says)
Required port compatibility: Boom
Levels: 13 (mostly spread across the slots; the last three maps are optional)
Yep, I finally said the joke thing that I forgot about in my original Deus Vult review (read it here before reading this one).
Deus Vult II is, as some of you may guess, the sequel to the 2004’s Deus Vult – a slaughter map so big at the time of its release that it had to be split into four parts to work on some of the slower computers (as an option). And then this WAD came out and said OI! Why not do the same with more maps that look better?! And then it happened.
There is so much stuff about this WAD in the text file, mentioning map details, new enemies, new weapons, etc. I will only mention that some of the maps are mentioned to be finished around the Summer of 2004; my guess is that this WAD was in the making since the release of the original Deus Vult map.
Plot-wise, demons happened on Mars, you beat the demons, and then you find out that Earth is filled with demons too. It’s time to kick some more ass.
How much humanity do I still have after the suffering I went through with this WAD? Well... Time to find out.
Now, I have seen WADs and maps that looked breathtaking in this review series in the past. Deus Vult II, at this moment, takes the winner’s cake in the visuals. Some of the maps look like complete masterpieces, and while some of you may think it goes slightly too far with details, I think I saw worse cases of over-detailing in Doom maps.
These maps also have many different bios for the lack of better words – tech bases, Japanese mountain, Egypt (Mastahpiss :] ), ruins, and, of course, hellish locations.
The soundtrack was... fine, I guess? It had bangers like in MAP20 and MAP23, but in some places, it had tracks that sounded annoying (MAP19), felt too short for a map (MAP21), might feel off (usually MP3 tracks), or weren’t even playing at all (I’ll get to that later).
What’s funny about the soundtrack, is that it can be different depending on which source port and version of the WAD you play. The regular version is from the archives, while the ultimate version can be sent directly to someone by the author after asking him by email (or just finding it on the internet at this point in time). The only difference is that MAP12 and MAP22 use a soundtrack from Lord of the Rings in the ultimate version.
The MP3 tracks will only play on ZDoom-based source ports; other ones that can play boom-compatible WADs will instead use MIDIs. I wish there was an option to choose if you want MP3 tracks to play on ZDoom-based source ports or not; like a separate WAD with just MIDIs.
Changing the subject, aside from two maps on the blind playthrough, Deus Vult II isn’t really that hard to figure out. Some of them just have more annoying elements than the other ones, like the forest in Crouching Demon, Hidden Arch-vile, inspired by the legendary Grove, and being equally annoying here as well.
There are also two cases where you climb a mountain, and it’s also annoying; not because of the climbing itself but due to the enemies constantly popping from the ground behind bushes as you get close (in Eagle’s Nest at least there are bushes).
The two really annoying maps were Stargate and Unholy Cathedral (not to confuse with the one in the original Inferno episode) – the former due to being a mangled maze of a map, and the latter for having a moon-logic level of hidden switches in some cases.
But there is some interesting stuff that makes me grin like an utter goober; like how you transition between most of the maps organically (especially at the end of Stargate and Desert Temple with the ancient portals).
Entryway Pass has some kind of uber barrels in the blue key area, where these are much stronger than the original ones; and surprisingly, they only appear in this location.
I also like the concept behind You Shall Not Pass, where you run away from the boss mooks through the entire level until you reach Invun and decimate them (at least the ones that don’t fly away to the other side of a map).
The final level is MAP29 – Saint Peter’s Gate, and from there, you can choose how to end the WAD. You can just end it by going through the left gate; you can choose the right gate to play the original Deus Vult map (thank God that I don’t have to play it); or, you can go straight on your path, ending on a secret level.
Although, I feel like The Manliest Fight EVER feels misplaced, because after beating it you are rewarded with a weapon that you can get 3-4 maps earlier and you end up booted back into Stargate. It’s like something was missing between MAP13 and MAP19.
There are two types of hard in Deus Vult II – manageable and insanity. The former happens in most of the WAD; despite tougher moments, there is still a chance that experienced players won’t really have that much of a problem with some of the tougher moments. The latter type happens less often, but it has a chance to scar you for a long time; fight in the hub area of Unholy Temple, the entirety of Hell’s Vendetta, the secret encounter in Crouching Demon, Hidden Arch-vile, and probably the second half of MAP31 are the biggest examples that come into my mind.
This WAD utilizes two new enemies as replacements for Wolfenstein SS and Keens, both appearing from MAP21 onwards. The first one is Hell Cleric, which has 200 health, barely flinches, and fires a volley of three fireballs at you. In large groups, these guys can fuck you up (proven by the Minas Morgul Requiem section in Hell’s Vendetta).
The second new enemy is much, MUCH worse – Flying Balrog AKA Afrit the flying Baron; and not just a typical Afrit that’s just a kind of tougher, flying Baron variant with new attacks, but the Scythe 2 beasts that can wreck Cyberdemon 1v1. Luckily, they have only 1500 health compared to the original’s 2500.
You thankfully gain two new weapons. You now wield two pistols instead of one, which means bullets won’t be any more useless to you until you find a chaingun.
There are also Sauron’s Gauntlets which are basically melee BFG. It shreds through every enemy, including flying Barons. The only one who still has a chance to kill you with these gloves is Cyberdemon.
Now remember when I said that some of the music tracks don’t play at all? It happens with the first three levels, and it looks like it’s due to the newer version of GZDoom having problems with some of the MP3 files. Gee, at least it could play MIDIs as a failsafe, but screw that, I guess.
Deus Vult II is a better WAD on every level when compared to the original map... it is also harder than the first DV. If you enjoy slaughter maps/WADs, you will be in heaven playing this WAD.
As for me, I am really excited to leave this WAD behind and play the next one on the roster list. It is Eternal’s final WAD from the 2008 roster.
But until then, I’ll see you next time.
Bye!

In addition, voice actors such as Kim Kwan-jin, Yoo Dong-gyun, and Jeon In-bae took charge of the evolution of the main Digimon and other extra and boss-level Digimon. However, in the beginning, voice actors from the 25th and 26th KBS who had just become freelancers, such as Kim Kyung-soo, Ju모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)ng Hoon-seok, Byeon Young-hee, Ryu Da-moo-hyun, Won Ho-seop, and Lim Jin-eung, were put in small roles [49] [50], and some voice actors such as On Young-sam and Kang Su-jin. They also appeared as guests. Directed by Lee Won-hee PD, translated by Yoon Kyung-ah.
And in the domestic version, most of the evolution scenes or battle scenes have had their sound effects deleted. It seems to have disappeared together in the process of covering the background sound of the original version. Power 모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)Digimon and Digimon Tamers, which were aired on KBS, had the same problem.[51] Instead, the sound effects were preserved in the second half, and the quality of dubbing is good, except for duplicate casting and sound effect problems. For example, before the trailer for the last episode, Yagami Taichi (Shin Tae-il) in the Japanese version says, "The fight is not over," whereas in the dubbed version, "Come on! The re모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)al fight starts right now", but the acting tone is different and the lines are different. In the scene where Myotismon gets intoxicated with his power and then turns his face when Angelmon appears, the Japanese version simply says "Oops", but in the Korean version, it is translated as "I forgot about that guy", and it was well adapted to the localization. There were many parts.
In the video editing, the Japanese and English that appear in the background during growth or maturity are well removed without any awkwardness on the screen. How모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)ever, due to excessive manipulation of the Japanese language in the scene where Digimon evolves, in the evolution scene where the surrounding background is complex and the complete and absolute, stuttering occurs as if the background screen is lagging, or afterimages appear in the place where the Japanese and English of the original video were. There is a problem with remaining.
The biggest difference between the Korean version and the Japanese version is that the female voice actor with the voice of a boy during the growth period is chang모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)ed to a male voice actor as he matures or evolves into a complete body.[52] This is especially noticeable in the Greymon and Garurumon series, and it seems that it is awkward for a boy's voice to come out as it is in the form of a wild and ferocious beast, a wild and ferocious beast in its mature and perfect form, or a strong warrior in its ultimate 모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)form. As a result, there are many evaluations that the voice of the dubbed version matches better because it has become a voice that suits the appearance.
In fact, this part must have been conscious to some extent by the Japanese production team, and the voices of War Greymon and Metal Garurumon in the early days becam모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)e thicker voices by strongly modifying the voice of the existing voice actors. However, the excessive voice modulation and the echo were covered, and the pronunciation was muffled to the point that it was difficult to understand what was being said. Eventually, as the episodes went through, the voice modulation gradually faded, and convention모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)ally, a boy's voice came out. On the other hand, the Korean version did not have this problem by assigning a male voice actor in the first place, and even if it was changed to a male voice actor, there were cases where a slight modulation sound was added. However, in the case of Greymon and Garurumon series, it is unfortunate that 모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)the voice actor keeps changing for each episode, rather than being fixed to one voice actor. This kind of voice actor assignment by KBS will continue through Stingmon in Power Digimon, the next work, and Dukemon in Digimon Tamers.
In the case of the technical name, the existing Daewon CI version setting book and the TCG translation released by Bandai Korea were adopted as they were. It seems that the tran모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)slation of character names and technical names has already been agreed upon early on.[53] However, among them, there are quite a few childish translations such as the dragon's runny nose, which is not a legend, but sleongpo, pumpkin seeds, super-strong nails, 모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)big claws, horn-beating, 'getting rid of the fighting spirit' (…). However, there is not only this kind of translation, but there is also a transcendental translation. For example, Garudamon's special move is Shadow Wing in the original version, but it was translated as Phoenix Sortie in the domestic broadcast. Looking at the directing, Garuda모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)mon transformed into a phoenix and charged, so it became a technical name that matched the image much more.[54]
On the other hand, the fact that the name is written in English in the Japanese version is not always a good thing. It may sound even worse because of the weird English pronu모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)nciation peculiar to Japanese. And in the US, France, and Germany, dubbing in English is rare. Even in the United States, an English-speaking country, the original Japanese English name is changed and dubbed. However, it is not that Korean fans or Japanese are exclusively obsessed with English. It's just a matter of smoothing out the dubbing.
Also, there were times when Angelwomon's breasts were painted white, roughly from the Dark Four Devas. So, at KBS, there was no editing at all in the beginning. Even in th모범택시2 16화 다시 보기 16회 재방송_E16 (230415)e airing of Pumpmon and Ultungmon, the scene where these two play pachinko was aired normally on KBS without editing the scene.
However, because the quality of the work is so good and the voice actors also performed well, it gained tremendous popularity, winning first place in viewership ratings, beating SBS's Pokémon, which had been raging until just before that. The average viewer rating was about 15%, slightly higher than Japan. #

Advent Statement 9 - Cruciatum
Claps my hands! Alright alright!
A chapter that never made it to ao3! By the time I managed this technically 10th chapter, I was running on fumes but also had planned for the final 3 to be seasonally appropriate: the original plan was to post these from the 12th of Dec to the 24th/25th, after all, so having some seasonal statements for the holidays seemed like a fun idea. Unfortunately after the roadblocks of some earlier statements took much longer to overcome than expected, I was completely beat trying to get these done hahah.
Anyway, here we have the first seasonal one: a friendly Corruption chapter for the holidays! :D
CWs: seriously shit relationship, parasitism/infestation
___________________________________________________________
So am I clear or not? Can I leave? They said there was no sign of. Of ‘infestation,’ so I - … what?
You… you want me to identify-?
Oh god. Oh god, yeah, that’s. That’s Alex. And.
Is that. Oh my god. Infestation.
Fuck ok, what the hell is going on here? You want me to tell you that?
Fuck.
Coffee or whiskey, tell me you have one of those. No wonder you’ve all quarantined the building. What’s… what’s going to happen to them? What’s… left of them, at least? Incineration? … that’s probably for the best.
Jesus, ok.
I’ll tell you what I know.
Alex. Alex moved here after me. We were obviously neighbors, but that doesn’t mean much in an apartment. I only knew about their existence because they had an open space in front of their door where none of the apartment-approved shrubs grew, so they took it over. I came back one day in summer to see it nicely mulched with a horde of lovely green plants in pots around the edges. That was their one nod to the idea that they knew they were pushing their boundaries in annexing the space, but it really did look so much nicer walking out to green instead of dry, dusty dirt.
We first talked that summer. I happened to come home while they were out watering in the evening and I complimented them on their fuschia. They really lit up at that, and gleefully told me they’d named it ‘Shoggoth.’ It was extremely verdant and extremely vigorous, and knowing its name just… It was cute. Knowing the trailing plant positively dripping with flowers was named after a shambling abomination was just exquisite. I liked my neighbor. Their enthusiasm was infectious. They freely admitted they had little idea what they were doing, but were excited to try and grow something anyway and I really could understand that. It’s really satisfying, you know? To plant a seed and watch it thrive.
It was a delight to watch their garden grow that summer. We still had very separate schedules and didn’t exactly get to know one another, but we were friendly when we ran into each other and that was more than I’d had from any other neighbor in this place. We’d pass by and say hello and I’d complement the latest plant and they’d flush with delight and tell me what niche cultivar it was and where they’d gotten it.
They had a real passion for it, even if they stumbled and lost a few plants over the year.
I knew of the boyfriend. I admit, if I ever learned his name, I forgot it. Just kind of saw him leaving every now and then; enough to guess he didn’t live there and to know he drove a kind of douchey car. Not like, ‘I’m deeply insecure so I need something stupid and loud,’ but like, ‘this car should be a sedan and you’ve gone and made it sporty’ douchey. I knew enough about him from Alex’s comments and the way I saw them interact to see that… There’s not a great way to say this, but Alex was a lot more serious about him than he was about them.
I’ve had friends with bad boyfriends before. Girlfriends too, but, well. I didn’t know Alex well enough to interfere. Not really my place to tell the neighbor while they watered sweet ol’ Shoggoth that I thought it’d be better for them to break up before the boy pulled some serious bullshit.
I was right.
Trust me, I wasn’t trying to be nosy. I was trying to take out the trash. It was just before Christmas, actually. I’d cleaned out the fridge so I could immediately fill it with a lot more, and when I stepped out from the warm bubble of my music, I ran right into them having an… not an argument, but voices were raised. Neither of them noticed me, since they were both kind of just inside the door, and it took… well, zero seconds for me to realize what was happening.
Standing under the mistletoe Alex had put above the door, the boyfriend was dumping them. A week before Christmas. They’d tried to greet him with a kiss, thinking it’d be cute and fun for the holidays, and he’d… blown up about it. I only caught the tail end.
I only caught him whipping the door open all the way and leaving with a kind of smug satisfaction on his face that chilled me. He at least had the decency to look a little embarrassed when he saw me there at my door, frozen with my trashbag, but then he just walked faster to his car and then all I could hear was Alex, sobbing inside as their door slowly swung closed.
I really wasn’t sure what to do in this situation. This was probably all one… absolutely enormous social faux pas, but I couldn’t just leave them there alone to cry, so I ditched my trash bag outside my door and came over and knocked on theirs. It was still open a crack, and I kind of. Called out to them and tried to keep the awkwardness from my voice and mostly failed, but they did at least open the door. Good enough.
They were a wreck. I uh. I learned a lot more than I really wanted to about everything, but I… Look, I want to give them at least a speck of privacy now that they’re… Worse than dead. But from what I gathered, Alex had wanted to start a family. Wanted to get married and all that, and the boy had been along for it! Apparently they’d actually been trying for a kid for a while now, but he’d not wanted to make anything official until Alex was pregnant. I am a million percent sure I felt my blood pressure rise when I heard them say that, I mean, fuck I feel it now repeating it, and I might have regretted that I didn’t chase him down to punch him into the dirt when Alex said that just a week ago, they’d gotten back some tests and it turned out they’d probably never have a kid.
And then the boy dumped them.
I am not a violent person, but I felt like one then. Yes I just said I wanted to beat him into a pulp, but Alex was just. Destroyed by this. I was completely out of my depth and I knew that awkward back pats were not what they needed, but I had no idea what else to do. Offer tea? They seemed like the kind of person who’d like tea. So when they sniffled and looked up and looked sharp for the first time since I’d walked in as they asked me to tear down the mistletoe for them, I did.
They couldn’t quite reach it on their own. It was a little sticky when I took it down but - oh my god. That plant growing in them, was that…?
Fuck.
Uhm. So, so yeah. I tore down the mistletoe and gave it to them and they said they were going to be ok and I left them alone. Went and took out the trash and debated stopping back by to check on them when I came back but figured it’d be good to give them some space. So I took the time to make dinner and then I headed back next door to check in on them and the door was still unlocked and just that slightly bit cracked, which I instantly did not like.
That was a very bad and very educational evening.
Did you know that mistletoe used to be made into teas as treatments for infertility? Did you also know that every single part of the plant is poisonous?
Now you do. I learned it in a hospital, after I’d found my neighbor passed out on their kitchen floor with a cup of tea spilled and shattered next to them on the laminate tile and saw some familiarly fake looking leaves in the water. I don’t know if they wanted to die, or if they were so desperate to fix what was wrong with them that they just. Threw the plant they blamed for their break up into the kettle in some shattered hope that it would fix the things it broke.
That’s how… how it got inside them, isn’t it? I mean, that doesn’t make sense; mistletoe grows on the skin of the tree, it can’t grow inside a person… No, you’re right. I shouldn’t think about it.
… Alex seemed so much better when they woke up. Still spacey, but they smiled when they saw me. It was a terribly broken smile, but they thanked me for coming for them. Said they’d be alright now. They just asked me to water their indoor plants while they were gone.
The hospital kept them under watch for five days. Shockingly short, if you ask me, but they were… tranquil. I invited them to come over the next day for dinner since neither of us seemed to have anyone else for the holidays, and. Everything went well. They - the hospital that is - told me it’s good to give people something to look forward to, and it worked? They came over and their outfit was cute.
I was a little worried about the… Oh. I thought it was cute at the time, but. They had mistletoe tucked into their hair that day. Just. Just a couple sprigs. I was worried it might remind them of the shithead, but they said they didn’t blame the mistletoe for it. That it was such a charming plant. It’d already taken root.
Right. That’s horrible. Would it have changed anything, do you think, if I’d asked a little more? If I’d… I dunno, been a little more nosy?
Alex poured themself into their plants after that. I spent New Year’s at their apartment and we had sparkling cider and I admired all the plants they had inside. It’d just been six days or so since I’d last been there, but it was already like a jungle with plants growing on every surface they could fit on and then some. It was maybe a little worrying, like, maybe they were overcompensating by throwing themself into something that couldn’t dump them, something they could give all their love to and receive pretty leaves and flowers from instead of empty, hurtful words and lies.
I figured there were worse things someone could hoard and if the plants gave them a reason to keep going, I wasn’t going to stop it.
I didn’t see a lot of them after that. Enough for me to know they were alive, though it mostly came through new plants turning up outside their apartment once it was just barely warm enough for new things to grow. The peas were cute, their little tendrils coiling so… sweetly and affectionately around your fingers if you let them. And I… I thought the mistletoe poking through their hair was still just some kind of reminder. There was more of it, then. Before they started wearing a beanie all the time and I guess it makes sense now. How covered they were, even as we set into summer.
So, uh. So that’s how things went. Their garden grew and flourished and I’d water Shoggoth II, the Shoggothening, if it got droopy in the heat, and I… I guess I really didn’t see much of Alex. Just the plants.
I guess that brings us through the year to… just two days ago.
It’d snowed and the garden had long been brought back inside, even if I really staggered wondering where Alex would keep them all, and I had gotten a roast with the idea that maybe I’d invite Alex over to share some tomorrow. So I put everything away and went and knocked on their door. They… didn’t open it this time. Just a sliver, enough to talk, but all I could see was the pink-blue of grow lights and a vague, humid warmth that reminded me of a greenhouse. Alex was just a silhouette against it, and I couldn’t see even a sliver of their skin.
I invited them, and to my surprise and deep worry, they said that they’d have to refuse.
That their boyfriend was coming over.
They sounded so… so fucking hopeful, so happy about it. Lovesick and besotted in the worst of ways, and it made my stomach drop. I couldn’t keep myself from reminding them what he’d done, but they just. Insisted it would be different this time.
That now, they’d be together.
This… Alright so I watch a lot of true crime and I would be lying if I said this didn’t set off my premeditated murder alarm bells, but I just felt. Lost. I’d really thought Alex was doing better this year, and then their door was closed and I didn’t know what to do. Tomorrow would be the anniversary of their break up, and I was kind of on pins and needles that night.
He had been an utter asshole and I sincerely doubted a year would have changed him that much, but I didn’t have his number, I couldn’t really leave a note on the door warning him of imminent probably murder because what if I was just wrong and paranoid and meddling in something that wasn’t my business in the first place? What if they really… really could get back together?
Alex’s voice had sounded alive and… vibrant. Almost lyrical as they’d said it.
I could have called you guys, but would it have done any good? Hey I think my neighbor might murder their ex? I’d never have forgiven myself if I’d called and I was wrong and Alex got shot.
So I did nothing.
I just kind of drifted off uneasily that night, unsure what I’d do tomorrow but hoping I could… Maybe talk to one of them? I woke up very early and knocked on Alex’s door, but they didn’t answer.
There was mistletoe above it, I realized.
A so bright, so vibrant sprig. The berries were bright and red as holly, the leaves a fake, plasticy green. It looked like it was growing right out of the wood of the door frame.
It felt like a very, very bad sign. I went to rip it down - but I didn’t. It… have you ever felt like if you touch something, it will be very, very bad? A weird throwback to when people relied on instinct to survive that rears its head at the strangest of times and you listen to it.
Mistletoe plants its seeds on the skin of the bark. It’s a parasite. It roots into its host and… takes it over.
And that mistletoe was fresh and healthy and growing.
I pulled my hand back and I went back to my apartment.
I heard a douchey car pull up on the street, and I knew it was him. I objectively should have gotten up then. That instinct in my head knew something very bad would happen if he went inside that apartment, but the rest of me really wanted this to go well for Alex. God, he was a toxic asshole, but they just… wanted to be happy with him so, so badly.
So when I heard him walk up next door, I didn’t stop him from knocking. I just walked up to my door and pressed my ear to it and listened.
I heard their door open. I heard Alex tell him to look up.
I heard him sneer, and my heart stopped when I heard Alex laugh. He began to say something else, but then it was cut off. Muffled. I heard him make a noise. Like… like he was intrigued. I heard a gasp, a moan, and then. Then I heard him start in, smugly saying something like, “Didn’t know you missed me so much?” And then. Then he wasn’t smug anymore.
Then I heard him make a god awful noise. Wet and choking and I opened my door then just to see… Alex. Alex holding him in their arms, watching as he clawed frantically at his throat, his eyes bulging and Alex watching with adoration. Stroking his chest with fascination.
I was… shocked. I’d not seen Alex in months, and their… their hair wasn’t there anymore. I’d mistaken it for curls from the glimpses I’d seen before under the beanie, but it was all mistletoe. It looked like it was… growing out of their head in a thick, thriving cluster. I just. I just assumed it was some kind of wig. A real commitment to the. The whole revenge thing that was evidently happening. They still looked like a person when I saw them last. Not like. Like the picture you just showed me.
Where there’s. Barely anything left.
But in the moment, I thought. I thought they’d poisoned him. That this was maybe some murder/suicide happening next door, so when Alex looked at me and smiled and pulled him inside, that’s when I called you guys.
And I guess. I guess it was way too late then.
They didn’t lie though. That’s… very morbid of me probably, but. They’re together now. All tangled up in the plants rooted in their skin. So green and so… bright.
Right.
Whiskey.
I’ll go for another screening if you really want, but give me a shot first.
He was a bastard, but I’m not sure he deserved what happened to him. Maybe he did. I don’t know. What are you guys going to do with the apartments?
Burn them? Maybe? I mean, mistletoe seeds stick. You… you should be careful, if you decide to just… try and clean it up.
I’m… yeah, I’m gonna go get screened again. I’ve got a lot to think about.

This was just a little thing I did for @scorphargrove’s fic on Ao3, Bite Back. I highly recommend it, I could not put it down lmao, AND the first chapter of the sequel came out recently :D
This drawing is supposed to be in chapter 5 I think? When billy and the reader walk back into the Halloween party and try to have a good time, I wanted to get that like. Initial when they get on the dance floor time frame I guess, when it feels like it’s just those two together lol. There’s supposed to be silhouettes of the crowd of people around and behind them but I don’t know if I executed it right 😅 also I completely forgot reader had Billy’s jacket on till like halfway through the third sketch, so it’s a little stiffer than I’d have liked. I do really like how I did his hair tho!! References are ur best friend forever frfr!
This isn’t the best drawing bc the pose was kicking my ass 😭 hope u like it :3

My #1 post of 2022
prompt: "why the hell is there glitter everywhere?"
plot: the sk8 family trying to throw shadow a birthday party but hiromi forgot his own birthday
Thanks sm for the request!!! I hope you like it :) sorry if the ending was rushed, but it’s 4 months late 😓
warnings: none! Unless glitter counts
~~~
HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY HIROMI!!
Throwing a surprise party couldn’t be that hard, right?
Wrong.
Even with the brain power of a child, two seventeen year olds, an Italian chef, and a calligrapher (who is really just hogging all the brain cells), they were still only able to make the building look a little less than mediocre.
“C’mon, it's the old man’s 25th birthday! We gotta keep going!” Reki said. He was about to fall from putting up streamers in the tallest possible corner of Joe’s restaurant, before Langa steadied the stool he was on.
“Reki, this place is the best it’s probably gonna get.” Joe came out of the kitchen with a badly iced cake, “come tell me what to write on here,”
“Just write ‘you’ve aged.’ that’ll be funny,” Miya didn’t look up from his game, but he did give a little mischievous grin at his suggestion.
“I am not writing ‘you’ve aged.’ that would be weird.”
“Then just add ‘well’ and a smiley face.” Reki said.
“‘Well, smiley face, you’ve aged? That doesn’t sound nice-”
Cherry was tired from their shenanigans all day, “Just write Happy Birthday, you damn gorilla,” and as he turned, he actually saw the cake. “Do you even know how to ice a cake?” he didn’t wait for an answer as he brought it back into the kitchen to fix the horrid decoration job. Hopefully it tasted better than it looked, Cherry had his work cut out for him.
With that, Joe figured they should probably finish up the final touches on everything, and Miya, Reki, and Langa were left in the restaurant with no adult supervision. Worst idea yet, the three of them were already up to trouble. Reki still thought the space could use more pizazz, as he knows Shadow is no simple man. Reki took a cup of glitter and started trying to find somewhere to put it, maybe on the tables? Yeah, that sounded good. He grabbed a pinch and sprinkled it over the plastic tablecloths, for some variety. He didn’t notice, but Langa was sneaking up behind him to get some glitter. By the time Reki figured it out, it was too late, and it was already everywhere.
“Dude! I just washed this hoodie!” Reki said with a smile. He laughed as he threw some glitter as a revenge attack, not noticing that Miya was right behind Langa.
As the first speck of glitter hit the console, Miya was up and throwing glitter back at his assailants. Reki ducked behind a booth, hopefully he'd be safe here. Alas, a face full of green and purple glitter hit him, very on brand. Reki got his own red ammo, and released it onto the catboy.
“What is going on here?” Oh noooo, mom’s back. They halted their war in fear of the pink haired man. “I can’t deal with this right now- Go visit the flower shop and tell his manager she needs to keep him busy. I need to sweep up this mess.” Without a word, the three boys marched single file out the door, sent on their mission.
They weren’t very subtle. Miya, Reki, and Langa went to try to tell Shadow’s- Uh, Higa’s Manager about his surprise birthday. While he was working. They didn’t plan out Cherry’s request that well.
Oh no, Higa came out of the break room, and Mrs manager went downstairs to work on a pick up order. He stopped in his tracks, seeing the devil’s dandruff all over the ground.
“Why the hell is there glitter everywhere.”
The three boys look down and they all start talking over each other, though none saying the truth. Higa was not having it, the more they panicked, the more it fell from their hair and clothes.
“No- you know what I don’t care, get out,” Higa started pushing the boys out the door, not without (very sparkly) protest. He just got done sweeping the main floor, and now these hooligans left a snail trail of unicorn barf that he’d have to clean up before more customers came in. It was a busy day too, Higa could barely have the time to think. He woke up, came to work, and has been busting his behind all day! He didn’t even remember his birthday, it was that bad. The days leading up to today hadn’t been easier either, what with everyone wanting bouquets for some reason.
By the time Reki, Miya, and Langa had gotten back to the restaurant, with an incomplete mission by the way, Oka had been called to help clean up the rest of the glitter while Cherry had to go back to the cake. Oka gave Reki the broom and dustpan he was using, sighing as he walked away to make sure other things were in order.
“What were you guys thinking, roughhousing so close to the start of the party,” Oka was getting ready to pick up Higa, unaware that the boys never got to tell the manager to keep him there. Reki was busy sweeping, Langa taking out trash bags, so Miya had to run after him out the door.
“Ah, wait! He might be home, I don’t- uh, we didn’t get to tell the manager to have him stay at work. I don’t know.” Oka nodded at the new information, and Miya dashed back in after a fallen streamer.
Oka figured he had nothing to lose if he checked the shop first, so he started there. Luckily, Shadow was just leaving. Oka ripped off his helmet and jogged to the locked door to wait for him to come out. He soon heard the door chime and he rose to meet Shadow.
“Oka, I uh- what are you doing here?” Shadow was confused, so Oka vaguely gestured to the moped and held out a helmet.

no i do not support AS... at all
its me 2000s. (on phone so keyboard isnt a ding dong) i hope you guys realize that was made before i was even 17 (mar 25th, i was 16 at that point) which was already almost 2 years ago,,, people were helping me in the discord with the design and asked me to change it up a bit due to autism speaks, someone (i cant remember who) suggested the infinity symbol on the puzzle piece and no one didn't say anything against that idea, so i went through with it..
not only that, but the sc didn't even show the rest of the post so literally this has been taken out of context,, i said to send donations to a completely different network , and nobody came forward to say "maybe you should change some of the design" after it was up, for two years. literally nobody told me to make a different one during this whole time,, and,, thats not my fault ;;
i even forgot i designed it since ive been doing my own thing and theres been some great chaos over here @.@ i did plan to completely redesign it but simply never got to do it, s0und told me kinda in a disappointment "whaa? but it looks cool the way it is already" but once again i wasn't told the main issue, except i did know what it was this time around but still...
please dont assume this is some kidcore aesthetic based "" adult"" goat (why would i even make it into some kind of aesthetic like that? hhh, was it the colors?? i dont know anymore,,) i dont know if it was cause of the expression,, i was making it a very happy goat with a happy life and i am sorry,, , the whole design was merged into one in that picture, and the banner i made for it lead to a link for the separate items. also, the goat is actually still a kid and not an adult.. im not sure its because you saw the lil beard or something, if so, i remember saying during designing that this is a teen goat that was born with PCOS (symtoms beingg that it causes unnatural face hair. i have the same exact thing) and since that time it was a personal design to me so i wanted to be inclusive on that tidbit, but focused on the main theme.
genuinely this kind of fundraiser type goatling that i want in the game means so much to me but i feel like,, if theres a problem with the designs i keep making maybe i shouldn't suggest or design these things anymore,, or probably have to quit designing entirely now looking into this blog... i dont want to be judged anymore, if anything this has put me into tears i really dont know what to do anymore i really dont. i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry.

Still find it odd that Disney want us to watch Soul for free here, instead of paying to see it in theatres. I mean I get they have to release it this way over there and they should, but I’m surprised they didn’t want to make some more money from us at least as that’s their whole thing hahah.
Like it being free is nice, but I find a theater is usually a much better place to experience a film for the first time. And Pixar seem to always make pretty amazing films to experience (well except for one lol).
#matt babbles#completely forgot it came out on the 25th#was entirely focused on ww84 & croods 2 on boxing day#I just love seeing films in a cinema too much#feel bad complaining about it but honestly I am really surprised they're not trying to make as much money as they can

Journal Entry: My Husband Has Been Missing For Six Months | Journal Entry: My Husband Has Been Missing For Six Months Ending 2.1
Ultimate Masterlist | Mikey Masterlist
~Your P.O.V.~
I opened my eyes, feeling sweat drip down from my forehead. The clock kept ticking, it seemed to get louder and louder. 'Was that all just a dream?'
I looked to my side to see Mikey sleeping. I had killed him in my dream. Maybe this is also a dream. I poked his face lightly and Mikey's eyes opened before he glared at me.
"What the fuck do you want?"
"Nothing,",I said quietly as I slowly curled into myself.
"Then go to sleep,",he said before turning back over and going back to sleep.
I stared at his sleeping body, remembering every single detail of my dream.
---
Journal entry: November 25th, 2017
It was all a dream. I dreamt that nine months ago I had killed my husband, Sano Manjiro. He suddenly came back to life, but his personality was completely different. I almost wish that the dream was real, I'd rather have that Mikey over the abusive Mikey I have. I will say though that I am happy that at least my Mikey hasn't cheated on me like the "real Mikey" had in my dream.
Journal entry: December 2nd, 2017
Mikey gave me another bruise today. I accidentally forgot to add an extra layer when going to the grocery store today, and Mikey came home early and saw how I was dressed. I want to forget what happened. I want Mikey to change.
I want him to be like the other Mikey from my dream.
Journal entry: December 7th, 2017
Mikey came home from a Bonten meeting today, and he took a dorayaki from the cupboard before going into the office room. While he was away in the office I had decided to try and cook dinner.
I accidentally included too much spices in the food and ended up making it too spicy. Mikey gave me another bruise again. I cried for some time while Mikey left the house. When he came back home he smelled like alcohol.
Journal entry: December 19th, 2017
I tended to my petunia garden today. They seem to be growing well. Memories of the dream from last month came back to me as I looked at the petunias.
Journal entry: December 28th, 2017
Mikey and I had a terrible argument. Kakucho had sent me a photo of Mikey having sex with a stripper at one of the club's that Bonten owns, and when I confronted Mikey about it he twisted it on me. Eventually it had ended with me agreeing to Mikey saying that I can't go to clubs anymore with him because I couldn't trust him alone at a club.
It didn't make sense, it still doesn't. Still though, I listened to my loving husband.
Journal entry: January 2nd, 2018
I saw Kakucho today when I had visited the Bonten hideout to deliver Mikey's lunch. When I tried talking to Kakucho he wouldn't look me in the eyes, and I noticed that he has a black eye. When I asked him what happened he said it was an injury from a mission.
I could feel that he was lying to me though. I have a feeling that he was acting that way and has a black eye because of Mikey.
Maybe I should get revenge for everything that Mikey is doing? I'm not sure how to though. Oh right, this is what happened in my dream. I don't know if I'd be able to pull something like that off though.
Journal entry: January 18th, 2018
He gave me another stupid bruise today. All because of a wrinkle on his shirt. A single fucking wrinkle!
I want to kill him. No, I don't!
I didn't mean to write that...
Journal entry: January 20th, 2018
Maybe I should make that dream come true. It's alright though, isn't it? To be thinking like this. I'm not insane to want to get away from this pain and suffering, right?
I'll do it. I'll do it, I just hope he won't come back like he did in that dream. He shouldn't though, right!? I mean it was just a dream! It wasn't real, there's no way something like that can ever come true!
In fact I'll make sure to chop up his body, burn it into ashes, and then make it into pills for that damn annoying scar face to take. I'll disguise it as normal pills, and make him digest his own boss's ashes! I'm a genius! I'm not insane, I'm just a genius!
