Hi!

For some of the early watermill performances of the Lotr musical they had these special stamps that they put on peoples’ arms to designate them to a seating section, and I didn’t manage to get a photo of the design. I thought I’d ask around here if anyone had a photo of the stamp design or if anyone could remember what it looked like?

Thanks in advance! Love the blog, this musical was absolutely the greatest thing I’ve ever seen and it’s great to find others that love it too ✨

Hi there!

Thank you so much!! Running this blog is bringing me endless joy, not least because people like you are sharing their found memories of this beautiful show with me <3

(The wicker ring design was used throughout the Watermill run to help audience members find the entrance closest to their seat and ensure a swift move from the garden into the theatre during the show.)

Here's a screenshot from the Watermill Theatre's Access Pack for the show:

And here's how the stamps looked like 'in real life'; screenshot taken from MickeyJoTheatre's vlog:

I didn't take a picture of my own stamps either, but iirc I had black and red...? Not entirely sure anymore, though.

Plssss do a gabriel ohara × reader

pairings — childhood best friend! gabriel x fem! reader

summary — lil bit of gabriel content, idk what to write for a summary 😛

warnings — this was heavily rushed, angst 🥲🙏 mentions of blood, violence, happy ending, but in the 2nd chapter (yes theres gonna be a 2nd chapter)

a/n — whoever wrote this rq, im so sorry that this is short and very late 😞💞

Childhood best friend! Gabriel at the age of 7 takes your Barbie dolls away from you, not bothered with the way you cry tremendously loud.

"Give it back, Gabri!" you shout, snot and tears running down your small face, jumping up and down in the spot you stood on as you stomp your legs harshly against the floor.

The boy before you just giggles, "Nooo," he sings, dancing and twirling around with the pale doll in his hand.

"You idiot, just give it to her," another voice chimes in, stopping your cries instantly.

Gabriel looks over to the door and sees his older brother, Miguel, who was only a year only than the both of you. Gabriel rolls his eyes before chucking the doll over to you.

Childhood best friend! Gabriel at the age of 12, rides his bike over to your house, knocking on your door with a big smile on his face. Joined along, is Miguel, who was very much forced to tag along by his mother because he needed "protection"

"Look, Y/n! Look! Look!" Gabriel shouts in your face with a big grin on his face as you open the door with a confused look on his face.

He lifts the sleeve of his short sleeved shirt long enough, lifting up his whole arm with a proud smile.

You tilt your head in confusion, "I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at, Gabri."

He scoffs, arm still in the air as he rolls his eyes. "It's right in front of your blind ass," he whispers, not wanting for your mother inside to hear his language.

"I grew an armpit hair," he flexes his non-existent muscles, "Ha! My mama said I'm a real man now."

"Yeah, you stink like one."

Childhood best friend! Gabriel at the age of 16, had gotten his first phone and made his first ever Instagram account.

After only choosing the cringiest username known to existence; @theyluvgabri , he presses onto the search button

The first account he searches for and follows is not his brothers, heck, not even his celebrity crush, the account he searches for first is yours.

His curious self scans the black profile pictures for all three of your untilted highlights. He taps on the first one, he sees a picture of you smiling with your eyes closed.

He admires everything about it. Tapping for the next picture to appear.

A video of you and your black cat, Honey, a name you chose for your cat that Gabriel laughed at non-stop, calling it the stupidest name ever.

He looks at all the photos of you and screenshots every single one of them. Unknowingly, a smile makes its way on his face.

The next highlight he ignores when he sees is all aesthetic photos of the sunset.

The one right after, he stops.

It's a picture of only you and him. And there were more photos of you and him compared to the rest of the other two highlights.

A photo of you two when you were babies, napping together.

A video of you and Gabriel. He always loved to tease you when you did little vlogs the moment you got your phone. He continues with the video, your phone is slightly slanted, you digging up a hole and showing the camera the seeds you stole from your mum's gardening shed. Not noticing Gabriel who comes up from behind you, holding a worm. He tiptoes slowly and places it on your shoulder.

"Omg! Look! Look!" he yells, feigning his worry.

He laughs to himself when the video cuts perfectly when you scream.

The next is a photo of you and him in a photo booth, you had your hand covering your beautiful smile as he used a strand of your hair and put it between his puckered lips and nose as a pretend moustache.

His heart flutters. That was the moment he knew his heart was for you.

That night, he rambles on and on to his older brother, Miguel.

"I think I like her, Miggs."

"Then tell her you idiot."

Childhood best friend! Gabriel at the age of 17 punches the living shit out of the boy who stood in front of him.

How fucking dare he?

He dared to open his mouth about you.

Gabriel had missed his best friend. You were at home sick in bed, so he sent a quick message saying he missed you, and to get well soon before making his way to class.

All the noise around him was nothing to hin, until he walks by and overheard a group of boys saying your name. Foul, disgusting things were said.

Gabriel pulls the main friend of the group by the shoulder and punches him right in the nose.

Everything turns into a chaotic clutter in a matter of seconds, bloodied noses, bruised cheeks and bruised knuckles.

Gabriel pushes, pulls, kicks and punches. Anything to defend his friend who wasn't there.

Anything to keep his friend's name out of another guy's disgusting mouth.

He feels a strong pull on his collar, disconnected from the guy he lunged at.

"What the fuck is going on?!"

It was Miguel's voice.

Of fucking course, Gabriel thinks.

"It was him! He fucking started it," the guy opposite Gabriel, his name being John, yells with anger, spitting at him while doing so.

Gabriel growls and tries to lunge at him but is stopped when Miguel pushes him back with one hand, the other holding the other guy back as well.

"Say sorry, you fucking idiot! Keep my girl's name out your mouth, cabrón!" Gabriel shouts. His words don't even phase him the slightest. It does, however, bother the older O'Hara sibling. If Gabriel even noticed the hesitation in Miguel's eyes.

"Tone it down, Gabri," Miguel glares.

Those around the main three stood in silence. The flashes of their phone turn off, all looking at Gabriel.

John dares to chuckle and smirk, his brow raises, "Your girl? That's funny, Gabriel."

"What the fuck are you lauging at?" Gabriel hisses.

The guy scoffs before hiding his sly smile, "It's just funny 'cause last time I saw your so-called girl, she was kissin' up to Miguel."

Gabriel's heart stops.

"Right, Miguel?" John adds to the fire that burned Gabriel's heart.

Miguel averts his gaze when Gabriel looks at him. His heart shatters when his brother looks to the ground.

"I fucking hate you," he pushes his brother away and runs out of the school building.

Childhood best friend! Gabriel who unadds and blocks you on everything he had you on the same night without giving an explanation.

there's going to be a pt 2 dw dawg 🤞

[maykitz]

please recommend some asmr channels 🙏

ok i'm going to assume you're familiar with the big names like goodnight moon (big favourite), latte, tingting and ppomo. if not...get the hell on youtube.

i almost exclusively listen to female voiced roleplays so that's going to be really obvious here.

one of my favourite channels i've ever found is moonlight cottage asmr. her voice is beautiful, intelligent and a little bit more mature and the french accent just hits. her historical videos are compelling, you can tell they're passion projects and she is quite an actress.

another definite recommend is ALB in whisperland. she has a gentle voice, her soft speaking is so good, and she has a lot of videos where she delicately does things with her beautiful hands, which i like a lot.

some more in no particular order:

-aen ani asmr. i feel like she's so underrated. she mainly does fantasy roleplays in costumes and the channel is still a bit small so you have a good chance of getting a reply or your request being included in a video. it's not like, insanely polished and high production value but i like it.

-asmr mood. speaks russian but many are subtitled in english. oftentimes has fanservice and is one of the few asmrtists (on my list, maybe even in general) who usually presumes the viewer as male. i don't care about it but it means there's no makeup videos (which i find boring). and as i've said before, when the russian language k and t sounds come out in asmr i... no, i shan't say.

-amy kay asmr. pretty much exclusively roleplays and usually has interesting concepts (ie not the 5 millionth makeup and cranial nerve exam). confident and charismatic and is a bit more peppy in the way she speaks rather than the, like, pure bedtime voices.

-eunzel asmr. korean with english subs + english spoken videos. roleplays, also weird and odd triggers. i've rewatched both of her "doctor asking you insanely personal questions" videos many times.

-bluewhisper. first asmr video i ever watched was her (sadly quickly deleted) "rescuing harambe" video which got screenshotted and i think gave her a lot of negative attention because her sense of humour is playing it completely straight and people are obsessed with being smarter than the person being ironic. she does simple roleplays, vlogs, flips through the new burpee seed catalog once a year for her garden and opens pokemon cards.

-seafoam kitten asmr. if you remember the "adorable organ harvester uwu asmr" screenshot going around, that's her. she does weird, cringe-humour roleplays. she also has a slightly risque one where you get indoctrinated into being a "love pet" puppy which i think would do numbers on here.

-myaling asmr. english with korean accent. mostly long roleplays, very sweet voice and puts great effort into having a lot of props, background detail etc. often has cinematic intros which i love. her "aesthetic school outfit styling" has probably my favourite intro scene i've ever seen in asmr.

-callie blossom asmr. she's strikingly beautiful and has a "girl who's secretly obsessed with you" series that is very popular with lesbians for good reason.

-maya winky asmr. silly, fast paced humour asmr. i feel bad not saying more but like just look at her channel lol

-mid mod meridian asmr. american accent. older lady who does 50s, 60s and 70s themed roleplays. not to be like aww sweet grandma but. yeah.

-ella asmr. korean with english subs. a lot of scifi themed videos with special effects, surgery on you and mechanical equipment sounds.

-whispering willow asmr. nice, simple, basic roleplays, usually in the 20-30 min range. i like when videos aren't too long because i usually clock out after 5 minutes anyway.

-african xhosa asmr. criminally underrated. she speaks and has a few videos teaching phrases in xhosa, a south african language with clicks that i've never even heard before. also talks about history and culture often.

-90sfairyasmr. relatively new channel with not too many videos, she mostly flips through y2k/1990s teen magazines so far.

-asmr emiko ffujio. no talking, but has cool slimes and fake cooking.

-gentle whispering asmr. a very big channel, russian accented. i like her voice and soft speaking a lot but her topics tend to bore me a bit. it's generally beauty focused.

-triniti j asmr. american accent. i havent watched a lot of hers because they're usually beauty focused, but for example in the "best friend picks out your smell goods" she gets really close to the mic and chews gum which creates a speaking sound i like a lot. idk how to describe it lol

-pelagea asmr. doesn't upload on youtube anymore but a lot of backlog. mostly more or less fanservicey videos that get a bit unintentionally silly and too much sometimes. i mainly recommend her "100 ways to kiss" video with the lesbian bait thumbnail that got her 13 million views.

now feel free to recommend ME some i don't know yet.

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - London Attractions | Part 1

[sadienita]

Where Stray Kids Would Take You in Seoul - Maknae Line

Jisung - Suyeon Mountain Tea Room (수연산방) and Bukhansan National Park

Bukhansan is the tallest mountain in Seoul and sits to the north of the city. It is surrounded by a national park and has a number of different trails that can be walked or hiked. Seoul also holds a number of traditional tea houses, Suyeon Mountain Tea Room isn’t far from Bukhansan and has beautiful views of their garden year round.

Of course he knows you want to see the sites around Seoul but Jisung would love to show you some of the quieter, calmer sites. He’d also be able to show you just how beautiful the country is. Walking through the park you’d have plenty of time to chat and enjoy the hopefully fresh air Seoul has terrible air quality y’all while you look for good views along the trail. He’d be sure to take photos of you in all of the pretty spots you find and would probably snap some sneaky ones of you while you’re looking at the views, the nature, or taking your own pictures and if you look at his lock screen tomorrow you’ll see one of them. After that you’ll head down to the tea room for a rest, enjoying the atmosphere and some tea after a lot of walking.

Felix - Biking and a Picnic in Olympic Park

Olympic park is a large park in southeast Seoul. It holds a number of walking trails, museums, gyms and stadiums, art and flower gardens, and bike roads. It’s also literally right next to the JYP building hence why multiple members have vlogged there. Also we’ve all seen Felix’s biking vlogs, yes? Yes of course we have so you know where this came from

Felix’s first thought would be to take you somewhere pretty but close that he knows well. He knows that you can truly spend all day in Olympic Park and even continue to some longer trails around the area if you did end up getting bored. He’d start off the day by packing up a picnic lunch full of kimbap and fruit and some homemade brownies before you go to rent bikes. He’d make sure your helmet is on snuggly before you take off on the bikes, riding around the trails and stopping at any particularly nice views or gardens to take pictures. Once you’ve worked up an appetite he’d take you to the picnic grounds and lay out a picnic mat before pulling out all of the food. You’d spend the next while chatting and eating while he eagerly asks about your favourite parts of your visit so far. You'd finish off the day by walking up some of the trails and getting some pretty views of Lotte Tower and the setting sun.

Seungmin - Exploring Gyeongbokgung in Hanbok

Gyeongbokgung is the largest of the palaces in Seoul. The beautiful grounds include both lots of information about the history of Korea and the lives of royal families as well as stunning views and gorgeous historic architecture. It’s very common for Koreans and foreigners alike to rent hanbok and explore the palace to take pictures.

Seungmin’s reasoning for taking you to the palace would be two fold. You’d start the day by going in, taking a tour and checking out one of the museums. He’d tell you anything else he knew about the history and would get so happy when you start asking questions about it or Korean culture, very happy to tell you all he knew. After stopping for lunch he’d take you to rent hanbok, smiling so brightly seeing you in it and then take you back to the palace. You’d spend the afternoon exploring the grounds with Seungmin snapping tons of photos of you, some posing and some candid. His heart would be bursting the whole time, loving how nice you look and seeing you interact with and take part in his culture. He’d also make sure to ask someone to take pictures of the both of you in some of the prettiest spots around the palace grounds.

Jeongin - Lotte World

Lotte World is a theme park in the southeast of Seoul. There is a large indoor section to the park as well as an outdoor section with a small island and some of the larger, outdoor rides. One fun quirk of Lotte World is for people to rent school uniforms (or school-like uniforms such as the produce series uniforms) for their visit to the park.

Jeongin would enjoy taking you somewhere fun. He’d get excited just looking up all the things you can do at the park and planning out what to ride and when. He’d definitely ask if you’d like to get uniforms, trying to convince you with a cute pout and telling you how cute the pictures would be. In between riding rides and playing games he’d make sure to snap lots of pics of the two of you in any cute or pretty spots you find. He’d just love spending a day with you having fun and being silly and enjoying yourselves. He’d definitely end the day with a walk around Seokchon lake as the sun sets.

If the TLH Squad Had Social Media, Part II

Because everyone seemed to like Part I so much!

Lucie and Cordelia will occasionally host dramatic readings of The Beautiful Cordelia (and The Wicked Queen Cordelia) together. They take reader input for plotlines and Lucie will slap them together.

Matthew has an entire Instagram page devoted to Oscar photos. It has millions of followers. He's Big Mad that Oscar has more followers than he does on main.

James and Matthew stream video games sometimes. James takes it very seriously and tries to be good at it. Matthew does not take it seriously and is balls-to-the-walls insane. Matthew's method is very well received. James is envious and Does Not Understand that this is what the internet's for.

And now my Matthew and Thomastair biases are about to come out again btw I am SO sorry

Matthew's Sponsorship Gifts

Matthew has an extremely popular travel vlog and people LOVE him. He has a really charming and witty personality that just amasses an enormous fan base. He probably has the most fans of everyone in the cast, neck-in-neck with Alastair who is widely beloved for his dry wit and commentary.

In any case, people begin trying to send Matthew fan gifts. He doesn't have a permanent address, so he announces that they should send EVERYTHING to 102 Cornwall Gardens. He then begins accepting sponsorship gifts, but he only takes the most outrageous and useless ones to prank Alastair and have them sent to his house.

Thomas and Alastair end up with a life-size Tardis phone booth. They end up with fake-marble and bronze statues of the greats (that Thomas constantly compares in his head to Alastair's physique and finds lacking). They end up with a broken but big grandfather clock and an enormous chair shaped like a hamburger. This is inconvenient because Thomas has to haul them into the house (though Alastair doesn't mind watching).

Just when the two of them have fucking had enough, Matthew sends them one final sponsorship gift: a Grotrian grand piano. He's apparently saved up a ton of sponsorship money to surprise them. Alastair has admired them forever and he is so touched he almost cries.

The prank sponsorship gifts stop after that.

Thomas and Duolingo

Thomas Lightwood would fuckin love Duolingo. It's got languages. It's got an owl. He thinks it's the best thing ever invented. He was born to do Duolingo.

He and Alastair sign up for different languages together and will try to outpace each other. This competition helps them both learn. When guests (see: the rest of the TLH cast) some over, they'll gossip about them in their target languages in front of them. Matthew suspects something's up.

Offhandedly, Alastair mentions that he Does Not Like Duo. He feels threatened by the app notifications telling him he'll show up at his house if he forgets to practice his Turkish. He specifically cites his 'beady little eyes.'

Matthew uses his terrible artistic skills to paint a VERY CURSED image of Duo. With HUGE eyes. And he hangs it on the wall outside Alastair's bedroom while he's shut inside it.

The screams can be heard all across London.

The Account of the Gardener (Part 1)

The old man knelt down on the wooden floor. Aching knees, tired mind, but a smile on his lips, his vitality unmatched even in his twilight years. His wrinkled hands, the color of russet brown, slipped into green gloves stained with crumbling dirt. 

Delicately, as if cradling his firstborn child of long ago, he picked up a single pot of polished clay, and the plant within. Iridescent, painted like classical pottery. With gold trim and authentic pigment.

The Gardener thought the aesthetics were a bit much. But he worked on the plant regardless, admiring the beauty that lay within. His eyes, 'restyled', bright and emerald green, looked the plant over. Through the machinery incorporated into his senses of sight and scent. Humidity, growth, physical deformities, pests reconfiguring fluid channels. 

Disease. Most of all.

They called it the bee orchid. Ophrys apifera. Petals of bright purple, surrounding a complex arrangement of growths, light browns, greens, and patterns. It vaguely resembled, for man and bee alike, the noble insect of its namesake. They were famed for their beauty throughout much of the western half of the Old World—as far north as Denmark, as far west as Iberia, as far east as Iran. In Palestine and Turkey, it was one of the many flowers whose roots were made into that flour called sahlab. One sometimes added to drinks or puddings, to warm hearts in the winter.

Aesthetically pleasing, multifaceted.

Rarer and rarer, even back in its own time. Even earlier in the century, much of the flour was synthetic.

The boss, old Lawson, was taking to a new fascination with the plant. He had specifically entrusted the Gardener with the task of maintaining his newest acquisition. Six new flowers, imported from a dealer in Izmir, in pristine condition. Bought with billions upon billions in cash.  They'd come in on a private aircraft, sealed in their own air-cycle to prevent Lima Blight from choking it dead. The soil it had come in had been checked to the most minute specification—the loam itself was worth twice its weight in gold.

It was one of those flowers that was in his hand at this very moment. And on whose inducement was this all for? The inducement of Lawson's son.

The one who was to succeed old Lawson on the board of Mack-Rasmussen. The one running a gardening vlog to a world of dead soil and starving billions, to grant them entertainment both against the point of gardening, against the Gardener's advice, and more than a little falsified. Corporate propaganda for the elder, too. Proving the Company's agricultural finesse, in an age of sealed farms, ecological collapse, and famine for hundreds of millions. The Lima Blight had, unfortunately, wrought greater havoc on the world than mere flower-wilting.

The old man had to do the dirty work, of course. For the flowers. Even after all this time, he felt complicit. But it was all he could do. All he could do with his skills, simply because he entertained them. They paid him handsomely. And they were the only ones keeping him from deportation.

Before, he'd been a gardener for a public school in the provinces. Back home. Tending the pechay and the beans that kids had lovingly and excitedly planted to give them something to take care of. While they were busy with their academics. At least with them, it all meant something.

He'd left that behind a long time ago. He had nothing to go back to. He wasn't sure how he could go back. The junta didn't care well for refugees. And they danced to the Mack-Ras tune anyway.

He loved them all, these plants. This collection of the Lawsons'. All 134 of them. They were stuck in the same lot he was; paid, until they got tired of them. The younger Lawson was perfectly content to let them rot when they were no longer popular with his millions upon millions of eager fans. Showing all of them off for his own benefit, but keeping himself the star of the show. 

Despite it all, the old man maintained them. Trying to ration, as much as possible, the precious decontaminated water that kept them alive. The fertilizer. The detoxified soil. Even as they slowly crept into obscurity, away from the Kid's attention.

The light filtered through the windows. Dusk sunlight through special, smart tint. Part of it was actually a computer-controlled screen, making it look more 'natural' than it was outside. Less awfully, harshly bright. What ozone layer was left was insufficient; it couldn't be enough if there were barely any plants or algae to fuel it. Even with all the lighting aid, the old man squinted. 

The augmentations filtered out most of the light, but they came too late to really change who he was.

This one plant in his hands reminded him of something. He loved it most of all. 

It was a relatively harmless mutation. Hypochromatism. One that made it all white. Pale and sickly. A yellow labellum. 

Only the younger Lawson's whims kept it alive now. 

Or, they had. Once. ================================================ Sorry for not uploading all that much! It has not been a very good time for the Sophie; workload-wise and emotion-wise. ^~^ Still isn't actually. I have, like, three different exams to cater to. Hence why I decided to post Part 1 early, before I complete this short story. Hope you appreciate this little slice of madness! More to come, quite certainly. <3 ================================================

A3! Tsukioka Tsumugi - Translation [SSR] MANKAI Party (2/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog

Juza: …Eh?

Tsumugi: Here, the camera.

Juza: This is…

Tsumugi: Fufu. What I wanted your assistance with was shooting the VLOG for my birthday event.

Juza: I see. (Well, garden centres are necessary for takin’ care of flowers. Maybe Tsumugi-san wants to show that.) Aight. I’m gonna start filmin’ now.

Tsumugi: Yes, please do. …Hi there, everyone. It’s Winter troupe’s Tsukioka Tsumugi. I asked Juza-kun to film for me.

Juza: Autumn troupe’s Hyodo Juza here. Thanks for havin’ me.

Tsumugi: Today, I thought I’d take a look at flower seeds and seedlings to plant in the courtyard.

Juza: …Are all the flowers in the garden chosen by you, Tsumugi-san?

Tsumugi: I pick the flowers most of the time, but I also plant flowers that others have given me or want me to raise. I know! Is there any flower you’d like to plant, Juza-kun?

Juza: I… I dunno much about flowers… so I’m good.

Tsumugi: Now, now, don’t say that. We came all the way here, so try picking one out. Even if you’re not sure, you can just look at the sample pictures and say you’d like to grow that one.

Juza: Okay… …This blue flower’s nice.

Tsumugi: …Blue daisies?

Juza: …Did I pick something weird?

Tsumugi: Not at all. I’ve gotten that same flower from someone before. Why did you settle on that flower?

Juza: …It’s blue and pretty. And for some reason, I thought it was like you, Tsumugi-san.

Tsumugi: Eh? I feel kind of shy when you tell me that… Well, you chose this one, so let’s take this flower home too.

-pause-

Tsumugi: Alright, shall we go ahead and transplant them?

Juza: I’ll help too.

Tsumugi: Don’t worry about it. You’re in charge of filming today, so please handle the camera.

Juza: …’Kay.

Guy: …Hm? Tsukioka, are you tending to the garden? I shall lend you a hand.

Tsumugi: Ah, Guy-san. I appreciate it.

Guy: Shall I bring this soil and pot over?

Tsumugi: Thanks.

Juza: You’ve got skills.

Guy: I assist Tsukioka like this from time to time, after all. I myself get a feel for the four seasons when I help out here.

Sakuya: Tsumugi-san, are you transplanting flowers?

Muku: We’ll help too!

Tsumugi: Thank you. In that case, can you two please repot this pot here?

Sakuya: On it!

Taichi: Oh, it looks like a party over here!? Let me join you guys too!

Kumon: Me too, me too~!

Kazunari: These flowers are cute af! Snapsies ☆

Azuma: Oh my. Are you filming, Juza?

Juza: …Yeah. Did all of you come to look at the flowers too?

Azuma: Yes. I heard Tsumugi was doing some replanting, so I wondered how that was going. Thanks to Tsumugi and the others, the courtyard is always beautiful and very comfortable.

Tsuzuru: I totally agree. I come up with ideas and relax here all the time too.

Muku: Wow, these flowers are so pretty.

Sakuya: They’re a gentle blue and remind me of Tsumugi-san.

Tsumugi: Thank you. Juza-kun said the same thing earlier. …Right?

Juza: …Yeah.

-pause-

Guy: Does this look alright to you?

Tsumugi: Yes, thank you so much. I was able to transplant them neatly thanks to everyone. This is how it turned out! What do you think?

Juza: Amazin’. Even I can see the difference.

Homare: My, my. Marvelous job, everyone. What do you say to teatime?

Citron: Omi made a huge load of sweets~ 𝅘𝅥𝅮 Come now, gather around and eat up! First come, first served!

Taichi: Wow, it smells awesome~!

Kazunari: Yay! Snack time with everyone 𝅘𝅥𝅮

Muku: There’s so many different kinds of cookies. They look delicious!

Omi: I have scones and jam over here too.

Juza: …There’s so many smiling faces… around Tsumugi-san.

Tsumugi: This is the place I wanted to show everyone. I wanted to show off the flowers, but I also love everyone in the Company who gather here. Chatting casually and doing events like this… See? It makes everyone smile, doesn’t it? Offstage—this sight, this spot, is a very important place for me. Of course the stage where I act is precious. But apart from that, this is also a special spot that I love.

Juza: Yeah. I feel like I know what you mean.

Tsumugi: Alright, let’s finish the VLOG here and have some snacks too. Fufu, we better hurry or else there will be none left for us.

Juza: Yeah.
