C# testing Frameworks – Overview

The C# testing framework is a set of tools and an API that help construct, run, and manage the automation testing process in C# applications. Theses framework presents the developers with the systematic method to design and architect test suites so that the software works correctly and satisfies the given requirements.

C# testing frameworks typically offer features such as

Test case organization: Allow developers to group tests into logical units such as test classes or test suites for better organization and management.

Assertions: Build functions to state that the code has followed the desired sequence for the code under automation testing to make a program behave logically.

Setup and teardown: Support setup and teardown actions to correctly initialize the test environment before running tests and consequently clean up.

Test discovery and execution: Automatically execute and test the code and provide responses about test results and errors associated with the code.

Mocking and stubbing: Developers should be able to create mock objects to simulate dependencies and isolate units of code for automation testing.

Top C# Testing Frameworks In 2024

Let us see some of the top C# testing frameworks in 2024.

C# Selenium WebDriver

C# Selenium WebDriver is a framework for automation testing. It can process the navigation from the web page and detect its functions, performance, and user experience.

It also allows developers to write code and simulate user actions to verify elements on the web page. This allows for the creation of reliable automated tests that can be executed repeatedly to ensure the application’s behavior

Its cross-browser compatibility allows developers to write tests once and run them across multiple web browsers to ensure test coverage and compatibility with various user environments.

NUnit

The NUnit is a unit testing framework for languages like C# and VB.NET. It addresses the need for developers to write, manage, and run the unit test either within Visual Studio or through the command-line interface.

NUnit offers assertions, test runners, and attribute-based automation testing capabilities to validate the behavior of individual components. Its extensible architecture allows integration with various development tools and continuous integration pipelines that enable automation testing practices. NUnit supports parameterized tests, setup, teardown methods, and parallel test execution in automation testing. It remains the best framework for .NET developers to maintain code quality through unit testing.

MSTest

MSTest provides developers an efficient tool for writing and executing unit tests for .NET applications. MSTest can integrate with the IDE to create and manage unit tests effortlessly.

MSTest supports various testing features, such as test discovery, assertion methods, test execution, and result reporting, to effectively validate code’s behavior and functionality. It also offers attributes for defining test methods and classes to enhance the organization’s efficiency and maintainability.

It reduces the writing process and testing execution action and provides a wide user guide for most project types like .NET Core, .NET Framework, and Xamarin.

MSTest is integrated into the Microsoft Azure DevOps cloud platform to customize the unit cloud testing phase into automation testing and continuous feedback.

xUnit.NET

xUnit.NET follows the xUnit testing pattern, emphasizing simplicity, clarity, and extensibility. xUnit.NET provides developers a flexible platform for writing and executing unit tests to validate code functionality.

Its extensible architecture allows for easy integration with various development tools and frameworks. It also offers multiple assertion methods and test runners for a diverse set of testing scenarios.

xUnit.NET promotes test isolation, parallel test execution, and deterministic test outcomes. It supports test fixtures and setup/teardown methods. It can also encourage test-driven development (TDD) by integrating with popular IDEs. It also offers integration with continuous integration tools to incorporate unit testing into their CI/CD pipelines.

SpecFlow

SpecFlow is a BDD framework that uses natural language syntax for creating and writing scenarios, as well as the execution and management of acceptance tests for .NET software. It can be integrated with Visual Studio and other .NET development tools to enhance collaboration among developers and testers.

SpecFlow allows it to formulate executable specifications expressed in a human-comprehensible manner using the Gherkin syntax. These specifications can be added to the software documentation to maintain their functionality.

SpecFlow encourages collaboration and communication among cross-functional teams by defining a common language of application behavior expressed in a readable format. This approach also promotes code reusability and manageability by reusing the step definitions within many scenarios and features.

FluentAssertions

Fluent Assertions is the assertion library for .NET. It enables developers to write assertions in their unit test cases. It uses natural language that allows developers to identify assertions through the fluent interface.

It lets developers write assertion statements like natural language sentences to make the unit test easily understood. Such if-else statements held in the form of assertions can be written as “should” followed by a mentionable situation like “should be equal to” or “should contain,” showing what kind of behavior is expected for that tested code.

It supports various assertions like basic equality checks, collection assertions, and complex object comparisons. It also provides built-in support for asserting exceptions to verify that their code throws the expected exceptions under specific conditions. It also provides customizable assertion messages and failure descriptions.

Ranorex

Ranorex is an automation testing tool specially developed to make application testing of all platforms, including desktop, web, and mobile apps, easier and faster. Its graphical user interface (GUI) is so intuitive to create automated tests.

Unlike other testing tools, Ranorex has an object recognition capability that facilitates testers’ easy identification and interaction with UI elements, including buttons, text fields, and dropdown lists distributed across different platforms. This enables the development of automation testing, which precisely reproduces user interactions.

In addition, it provides built-in support for data-driven testing so they can easily write their test cases and execute them using different sets of data to ensure complete test coverage. It integrates with popular continuous integration and delivery tools that will automate the execution of the created tests as part of their build-up pipelines for continuous integration/delivery.

Its reporting capabilities offer a detailed assessment of the test results and common metrics needed. Testers can analyze the test results, identify problems, and track the progress of their testing activities by using customizable metrics.

BDDfy

BDDfy enables developers to implement Behavior-driven Driven Development practices in their .NET projects. BDDfy allows teams to focus on defining the behavior of their software through executable specifications written in natural language to establish collaboration between developers, testers, and stakeholders.

BDDfy also allows developers to write tests using natural language constructs to make the intent of the tests clear and understandable to all team members. This facilitates better communication and alignment of expectations throughout the development process.

The integration provides flexibility and versatility in test organization and execution, enabling teams to adopt BDD practices.

BDDfy provides detailed and insightful test reports that highlight the software’s behavior under test. These reports provide valuable documentation and can be shared with stakeholders to demonstrate progress and ensure alignment with requirements.

ApprovalTests

ApprovalTests is a versatile testing library designed to simplify verifying code output. ApprovalTests allows developers to approve the current behavior of their code by capturing and comparing its output against previously approved results.

Developers can quickly integrate ApprovalTests into their existing testing workflow regardless of the programming language or testing framework used. This makes it a valuable tool for various development environments like .NET, Java, Python, and more.

ApprovalTests improves handling complex output formats such as large data structures, images, and multi-line text. Developers can easily identify unexpected changes by capturing the code output and comparing it to approved results.

It effectively supports generating and managing approval files to review and update approved results as needed. This ensures that tests remain relevant and accurate over time.

NSubstitute

NSubstitute is a .NET mocking library constructed to simplify the process of creating and maintaining mock classes in unit testing. Mocking is a technique used in unit testing to simulate the behavior of dependencies in a component under test interactions with developers to isolate and test individual components.

NSubstitute expressive syntax enables developers to define mock objects and their behavior using natural language constructs. This makes it easy to understand and maintain mock setups.

NSubstitute supports various mocking scenarios and provides powerful features such as argument matches, callbacks, and received call verification to create flexible mock setups for unit tests.

The integration allows developers to use NSubstitute alongside their existing testing tools and practices without additional configuration.

NSpec

NSpec is a behavior-driven development testing framework for .NET developers designed to promote clarity, readability, and expressiveness in test specifications. It allows developers to write tests in a natural language format that closely resembles the software’s behavior specifications.

NSpec focuses on human-readable test specifications written using a syntax similar to plain English. This makes developers, testers, and stakeholders actively involved in the business and simplifies behavior definition and verification.

NSpec offers us features to do test management, such as grouping test cases under nested contexts, showing descriptive naming conventions, and a behavior-driven development paradigm. This allows developers to create clear and concise test specifications that accurately describe the expected behavior of the software under test. It also ensures compatibility and consistency across different testing environments, making adopting NSpec in existing projects easier.

Utilizing an automation testing framework tailored for C#, conducting automated testing for your website or mobile application becomes a straightforward task.

LambdaTest, an AI-powered test orchestration and execution platform, empowers you to execute manual and automated testing for your web projects on an extensive online browser farm featuring over 3000 real browsers, devices, and operating system configurations. Its cloud-based automation testing platform facilitates the execution of automation tests utilizing various C# testing frameworks such as Selenium, Appium, SpecFlow, NUnit, and others that help you test websites in different browsers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, C# testing frameworks in 2024 present developers with the right choices to meet various testing requirements. From NUnit’s strong focus on unit testing to SpecFlow’s emphasis on behavior-driven development, developers can access efficient tools for maintaining software quality. Whether the need is for unit testing or behavior-driven testing, these frameworks improve automation testing workflows and enhance the overall quality of C# applications.

All Because I Liked A Girl.

A/N: HII FIRST TIME WROTE THIS FIC. English isn't my first language and I'm still learning, I hope u guys can understand me;) If there's anything wrong please let me know! xoxo

Part 2

You were so in love with her. You weren't sure how many times you think that you're the luckiest girl alive because you're dating your girlfriend, Ellie Williams.

Your girlfriend that you dreamt about since you got into high school a year ago. You always thought that it would be impossible if she can be your girlfriend in the future, or at least to be your friend. But it changed when she talked to you for the first time six month ago, when you accidentally bumped her and your drink was spilled to the ground.

You started talking with her after that, since you both have a lot common interests. Three weeks passed, Ellie started to calls you with some petnames such as princess, angel, muffin or even bae. You never asked her why, and you didn't want to ask.

It was perfect. So perfect that you never really thought it'd be end up so bad.

You just got into your second monthversary and you had a really really good time with your picnic date with her. God, you wish you can stay here like this forever.

But happiness won't last long.

You woke up by the ring on your phone beside you.

You wondering why. I mean, who the fuck is gonna call you this morning? Today isn't a weekday though. You took your phone and staring at the screen and it was your friend who's calling you, Lauren.

"Lau, I just woke—" You stopped your words as you hear how she breathe, it seems like there's something wrong, "Lauren, are you okay?" You asked.

"Am I supposed to be okay?" She sounds so infuriated, "Oh my fucking God, you're being a hot topic on school's blog and everyone's talking about you, Ellie, and her ex, Anne. And I haven't found the original post yet so please don't—"

You hang up the phone before Lauren finished talking, your fingers were scrolling up and down into the browser and school blog. You didn't do anything wrong, didn't you? And you never be a hot topic before so you got a little confused and nervous. The first thing you saw, is someone in anonymous replies was talking about you.

Oh, so Lauren wasn't joking.

"What's going on here?" You whispered, "Don't check the other replies, don't check the other replies..."

Your fingers definitely doing the opposite.

@sourgutspill33d

so she stole ellie from anne? such a shame

@miiiddastorch

ellie was just playing with her, guys :( HAHA

@ssal478283.18

I WAS RIGHT. she's a slut by stealing someone's girlfriend. ugh, and if she still have a face to appear in school this monday im gonna kick her ass and fucking spit on her

@plhrmc

ANNE DONT WORRY IM GONNA BRING ELLIE BACK TO YOU <3333

Your eyebrows furrowed, jaw dropped as you didn't believe on what you just saw through your phone.

No, really, you couldn't even tell what is going on right now. Everyone was talking really really bad to you, they were crossed the line.

Ellie? Anne? And you?

"What the fuck did I do?"

[isthatbloodonhisshirt]

So apparently I haven't been active on Tumblr for a year, which just goes to show how fast time can go when things are crazy ahaha, sorry?

I just went through my whole dash back a whole year (I am OCD, it had to be done or I'd explode, and don't ask how long it took, the answer is too long. Positive note though, Tumblr does let you go back that far, it just freezes every 5 seconds and makes your browser weep).

Anyway, all this to say I am going to be responding to asks for the next little bit, but I don't want to like, bombard people with asks so I'm going to space them out in the queue along with art and whatnot. Anyone who doesn't want to see responses to asks can blacklist "Blood's yakkity yaks."

Also because I loaded my queue up back a year, I might have accidentally crossed wires on some things that belong on my other blogs, so if I messed up and put non TW stuff on here that's not tagged "Not TW," it means it was an accident and feel free to let me know. (Also please tell me if I reblogged AI art, I noticed a few while going through my dash but some might have slipped through the cracks given how many things I was staring at the whole time I did this).

Moral of the story: If you have OCD and have to go back to the last thing you saw on your dash, do not ignore your dash for a year because you will suffer.

hey, have you heard that pillowfort has ✨ drafts ✨ now? (as in, the ability to save your posts as drafts.) they're still working on the queue feature (update: it's done!), but drafts are a big step forward!

in case you missed it so far, pillowfort is like a cross between tumblr and dreamwidth/livejournal, with a simplified dashboard reminiscent of old school tumblr and some classic livejournal features such as communities, threaded comments, and the ability to make individual posts followers-only or mutuals-only.

what are communities? basically, central hubs for posts about any subject you want that, unlike hashtags, can be moderated. they may have rules, such as "[subject matter] must be tagged" for example. you can post directly to a community or reblog existing posts to it!

since the site is currently experiencing some financial trouble, i thought i'd help out by spreading the word once again.

edit: the fundraiser was a success! crisis averted! i knew we could do it :D

why you should give pillowfort a chance:

no ads

no venture capitalist funding

no spying on the users

completely free to use except for optional premium features

nsfw is allowed except for sexual depictions of minors. if you're unsure what exactly that means, their tos may help

communities and the privacy controls mentioned above are excellent features

great community, low drama compared to other websites (so far)

the site's features themselves encourage genuine connection and good-faith conversation over endless "discourse"

every blog can automatically be filtered by original posts only or reblogs only

reasons not to join:

if you enjoy algorithmic social media. there is no algorithm at all

if you want to post or look at machine-generated art. they're still finalising the wording and personally i hope some exception will be made for models trained on ethically sourced images, but basically an anti-AI rule is in the works (update: finished!)

if you cannot live without reblog additions (reblogging with comment). all discussions on a pillowfort post take place in the comments section, and only your own followers see your tags. this has its pros and cons for sure! a similar feature to scratch that itch may be implemented in the future, but it will never be exactly like on tumblr.

if you need everything to be an app. the website works fine in a mobile browser and a progressive web app will hopefully be released soon (basically it's like an app in your browser and on mobile these can be added to the homescreen like real apps i think? they have push notifications!), but there's not going to be a native app available through official app stores due to the restrictions of those stores.

other factors to consider:

yes, the userbase is still small. depending on your interests, activity may be very slow. but we can change that! and on the plus side, reblogging your post to a community is a good way to easily get more eyes on it; way more effective than simply adding tags imo

the site culture is a bit different than on tumblr. many people read everything that's been posted since the last time they were online and don't follow more users/communities than they can keep up with. it's still somewhat lacking in shitposts and heavy on "essays" but don't be afraid to post whatever 😅

there are no blog themes like we have them on tumblr as yet, but you can customise your blog's colours and use html/insert links and images in your blog description

likes literally do nothing except to let OP know you enjoyed their post. you can't look at a list of all your likes. beware!

the staff is small and development is slow. some highly anticipated planned features other than the aforementioned queue include: - multi-account management - dashboard filters/reading lists - post bookmarking (since likes don't work that way) but we don't know how soon any of those will be implemented.

there is a user-developed browser extension (well, a userscript) called tassel available that adds additional features much like tumblr's beloved xkit :)

✨ okay, so how do i sign up? ✨

if you're interested but confused by the sign-up process or still under the impression that you need to pay to sign up (false), i'll put some clarifications and invite codes under the read more below. plus a note on donating, premium features, the paypal issue etc.

in a nutshell:

it's free

signing up without an invite code is possible, but you may have to wait a short while - supposedly less than an hour atm. just submit your email to the waitlist

if you don't feel like waiting, you can either use an invite code from an existing user or pay $5 to sign up instantly

every user gets plenty of invite codes and we're all willing to hand them out at the drop of a hat. they're really not hard to come by

some invites to get you started (just click the link):

invite 1 ▪ invite 2 ▪ invite 3 ▪ invite 4 ▪ invite 5

invite 6 ▪ invite 7 ▪ invite 8 ▪ invite 9 ▪ invite 10

invite 11 ▪ invite 12 ▪ invite 13 ▪ invite 14 ▪ invite 15

invite 16 ▪ invite 17 ▪ invite 18 ▪ invite 19 ▪ invite 20

i'll try to periodically check if any have been used and cross those out.

...paypal issue?

ok so paypal doesn't like working with sites that allow nsfw. as a result, you need a credit card in order to donate to pillowfort, buy one of those insta-registration keys, or subscribe to premium features*. i personally happen to have a credit card and would be willing to help out anyone who trusts me enough to send the money to me via paypal, but i realise chances are only my friends will do this.

some users are currently organising various activities for the purpose of letting people who only have paypal contribute to the site's survival. it's not super relevant for new users and won't get you access to premium features, but i thought i'd mention it anyway in case someone loves the concept of the site so much they want to support it immediately. a fundraising community has been created to collect posts of that nature!

*premium features are strictly limited to two categories of things:

fun little extras that no one truly needs

higher image upload limits, because obviously big images take up bandwidth and are therefore a reason for increased costs

you will never need to pay for vital accessibility features or anything of the sort. :)

[walks-the-ages]

If you see any kind of news article, video, or blog post covering Palestine, make sure you back them up! Posts and videos are being deleted, corporations and governments are trying to erase history literally as it is happening!

Bookmark this page and pin it as a tab:

^ As long as the link in question is not a Tumblr post or Youtube video, make sure you select "save outlinks" -- (just don't do it for tumblr or youtube, otherwise it'll crash from the sheer number of other links. )

Once the Archive is done, check the archived version and see if the video plays.

A very quick way to do this is to get one of the official Wayback Machine extensions, which are linked here on the bottom left side:

Next, get this video downloader, it's meant for Youtube but works for a whole lot more too:

For ease of use with the above downloader, I recommend also getting this GUI addon:

Archive every single article and link you find, and download every video you find. Make copies, backup everything.

News articles and blog posts can be saved as PDFs by doing CTRL+P or selecting "print" from your browser's dropdown menu and selecting "save as pdf"

Save screenshots as well !

If your computer is Windows and has the Xbox Game Bar, you can also use that to screen record!

Make a free Archive.org account so you can easily find your Wayback Machine saves, and you can also upload videos and other documents.

Make a new, Google account just for archiving, make a free Mega account, make an empty Discord server just for saving links and images and documents all in one place in the cloud as a temporary "waystation" before saving them to the proper cloud + external harddrives.

If all this sounds exhausting, at minimum you should be getting the official Wayback Machine extension for whatever internet browser you are using, and click it any time you come across news!

I’m a long standing WP user as well and one of the aspects that I’ve loved about wordpress has been the ability to customize so much of my blog, particularly adding widgets and extensions that have been developed and tested by the community. Is there any momentum in cross-pollination, if you will, of features that have worked well in WP (and vice versa)?

Really appreciate your kindness in answering these questions. Your post last year about your visions for tumblr and automattic was inspiring and I’m hopeful for the future.

I would like to give Tumblr users as much flexibility as you do in the WP ecosystem, and there is some really cool tech being developer that drastically lowers the cost of that flexibility, like WordPress Playground, which spins up a full WP install in real-time in your browser, with WASM. You don't need a database server, etc, anymore. This is truly revolutionary, and we haven't begun to see the impact. Now making that an accessible product is tricky, kind of like we had transformers and LLMs for years but it was the RLHF and product work OpenAI did that blew up that space, really made people reimagine what was possible. That's what we're working on.

Phew.

Atp I'm not sure what to say or do. But I've had issues tagging my posts for the longest time ( and have had to wait hours for them to appear on tags...only for them to get buried under other posts ). That and I can't even tag my own mutual proper without my mentions unlinking.

Tumblr is being of no help. A lot of my hard work is being wasted and idk...it's just frustrating I guess XD. This has been going on for nearly a year at this point and while I hardly care for the popularity of my posts...The engagement is nice with the work I put into it you know?

This problem is all over my account right now. Switching browsers hasn't helped. Switching my internet does not either. But I don't want to stop writing and shitposting and gawking at fanarts and reading. And I won't let tumblr impede in my fun.

So I'll be moving blogs. Switching mains. Hopefully by the end of the week...who knows really, haha. It's not an easy decision, but the frustration is there ( paired with being shadowbanned twice ).

Will I be telling you where I'm going?

...

I mean...

What if I want to live out my tuxedo mask dream? Cape sweep and all? What if I want the mystery?

If you guys can find me, then I'll be glad to know XD. But till then, to most of my moots...I might drop the url sometime.

Thanks so far! We crossed 1k follows on this blog. Which is pretty neat, I'd say!

resources I'm using for studying japanese

vocab/kanji:

wanikani: I use daily reviews to learn kanji and vocabulary using the kanji. This resource isn't free, but this has really helped me stay consistent. I like the UI and find the content helpful

renshuu: this is my favorite mobile app, I use this to learn JLPT-specific vocab and kanji. I use the free version

mochi srs: the best flashcard app! The UI is super easy to use and has lots of shortcuts for making and reviewing cards fast. You can easily create and edit templates for cards, and have cards reference other cards. I have a deck for kanji and one for vocab, and my vocab template references any kanji that are used in the vocab tab. There's also super easy furigana, lots of features for japanese.

grammar:

bunpro: really good for grammar, this has lessons for each grammar rule and divides them into groups through popular textbooks and their own groupings for jlpt grammar

genki textbooks: pretty standard textbook for learning vocab, grammar, and kanji

genki study resources: great site with activities for all the genki lessons

tokini andy genki reviews: extra practice for genki lessons, explains some grammar more clearly, introduces new dialogue.

reading:

japanese folktales for language learners and japanese stories for language learners: folktales are a really great way to learn, because these references come up a lot. I've seen references to urashimo taro in evangelion, and the new pokemon dlc is a reference to momotaro. This book has the japanese on one page and english on the other, with vocabulary after the chapter. (here and here on natively)

animal crossing new leaf tobimori: I've recently started playing this and it's so much fun. I'm already really familiar with the game so I don't depend on any of the text for playing, and it's good for more common expressions, differences in speech between polite/casual/male/female etc. I have a post describing how I'm able to play this here. (here on lingotrack)

listening:

japanese with shun: big fan of this podcast, it's free on spotify and youtube, which scripts on patreon. Each podcast is about a short subject, and they're all in japanese. (here on lingotrack)

learn japanese pod: some free podcasts on spotify with more paid content, this one is both about japanese and in japanese. It will teach phrases for specific scenarios, like ordering sushi or refusing situations.

tracking:

lingotrack: I started time tracking a couple of months ago and it's been so helpful! This site is great for quickly logging study activities and seeing how the time stacks up. It helps me identify which areas I'm spending enough time in and which ones are lacking. I also use the library section for keeping track of my japanese native content

toggl: I use this online stopwatch for tracking the time for different study activities so I can log them in lingotrack. It also has a browser extension which I usually use

finding native content:

natively: excellent site for finding comprehensible input content and tracking days read. This site has a lot of reviews for books so it makes it easy to find books that are on level. You can follow me here

lingotrack: collections in lingotrack provides user generated groups of content so that you can create an see groupings of native material content. There aren't as many reviews for material here as there are for natively though, so I find material there and then add them here. You can follow me here

other:

tofugu: this blog has everything. Use it for finding reviews on japanese language resources, learning grammar rules, etc.

jisho: dictionary app, I use it as my source of truth for vocab and kanji meanings

heisig's remembering the kanji: a different approach to learning kanji, this focuses on first teaching the simplest kanji and building from ones you already know. This is different from wanikani, which will make sure you know (its own) particles before introducing the kanji that uses them, but focuses on learning kanji and vocab in priority order. I'm listing it here because I don't use it much anymore

deepl: ai translator, works much better than google translate. You can also put sentences in chatgpt and ask it for broken down explanations. Take any translations from ai with a grain of salt - they are great tools but do not ensure accuracy

edit 3/10/2024: added tracking and native content sections, added links to lingotrack and natively for media

Posted at different times on Jun 29 JST - our precious Senshi had a Senshi reunion!

Mew (Makoto/Jupiter), Ayaka (Minako/Venus), Keiko (Rei/Mars) and Rika (Ami/Mercury) posted the occasion on their Twitter, Instagram and ameba blog accounts. (Rika posted within the last 30minutes, and with past records, Miyuu will likely post something soon as well.)

Keiko and Rika's caption was the 5 hearts emoji 💚❤️💙💗🧡🌙 in their signature colour. (But Instagram won't let two of the emoji show up on my browser lmao)

Mew's post also had the heart emoji and wrote: "わちゃわちゃないと🌙" - which "わちゃわちゃ" (wacha wacha)is a Japanese expression that typically describes the act of being excited and chatting noisily, usually by girls. SO, Mew here writing "わちゃわちゃないと🌙" is to say "I need to wacha wacha", ie "I need to bask in my excitement with the ladie and chat through our gathering"

Ayaka is UNSURPRISINGLY the quickest with writing up something that makes our hearts soar! She basically wrote the same thing on Ameba blog and Intagram. The translations are:

久しぶりの戦士会💚❤️💙💗🧡🌙 A Senshi reunion at long last 💚❤️💙💗🧡🌙⁡ やっと全員集合できた🥹❤️ We finally managed to do a gathering as a full team⁡🥹❤️ 相変わらずの安心感と安定感☺️💕 What an unchanging sense of comfort and stability ☺️💕 この5人でいると話が尽きなくて We never run out of things to talk about when it's between the 5 of us. 本当に時間が足りない🤣🤣🤣 We seriously didn't have enough time 🤣🤣🤣 ⁡セーラームーンを通して出会えたこの仲間とももうすぐ20年...このタイミングで、景ちゃんが声優を務める劇場版「美少女戦士セーラームーンCosmos」の後編ももうすぐ公開🌙 ⁡It's been almost 20 years since we met through working on Sailor Moon… With this timing, Kei-chan's voice acting work on the second part of the movie "Sailor Moon Cosmos," will be released soon 🌙 なんと感慨深い...🥹❤️ I feel deeply moved…🥹❤️ [Or in westernized lingo, Ayaka's basically saying "I have so many feels about this" lol] I wanna be with you. My best friend...❤︎

THE LAST TWO LINE. AYAKA IS QUOTING THE LYRICS FROM THEIR PGSM SONG FRIEND. I'M GONNA SCREAM. The fact that she also tags #幸せ #絆 #戦友 #仲間 to her posts with the Senshi team makes my heart explode.

"幸せ" (shiawase) is the ultimate Asian expression of happiness, a cross between "happy", "lucky/fortune" and "blessing".

"絆" (kizuna) means "bond", typically indicating a deep bond. We hear this a lot in anime.

"戦友" (senyuu) means "comrades in arms", ie a trusted teammate

"仲間" (nakama) means "comrade" or "teammate". We hear this a lot in PGSM. lol

Will update if Miyuu makes a post. Keiko might also post on her blog. It's a bit hard to predict now that Keiko also has an official twitter account.

He knew she did not like being alone in the house so he’d decided to surprise her by coming home a day early. Of course, he had darker motives in mind. Having been away for some times he wanted to make sure the rules he had set were still being followed.  Dropping in unannounced was the best way to test her obedience.

As soon as she saw him he she rushed into his arms for the overdue affection she was owned .Quickly though her joy turned to dread , it was time for an on the spot inspection.

He saw the panic in her eyes and had her assume the position  that had been taught to her, legs slightly open arms crossed in the small of her back and head held high.  He circled her letting the tension rise. He could tell from her behaviour she had done something wrong, now it was time to find out what that was.

He unbuttoned her shirt slowly, letting his hand linger on her skin, started playing with her nipples but she didn’t flinch. She was wearing the delicate neck chain he had given her to wear in lieu of a collar and  that pleased him.

When it came down to inspect her more private region he saw her visibly squirm.  Flipping up her dress he pulled down her panties to expose her naked cheeks. Instantly he understood what had her so desperate. Her  panties  were drenched, not just wet but drenched. He knew her and her body, this wasn’t simply arousal, she had rubbed herself  through her panties as she was wont to do when she was playing with herself.

He stayed silent a moment, before ordering her to archer back  and spread her cheeks. She was mortified but obeyed. He moved behind her and crouched. He looked at her exposed nakedness a few moments before he started using his finger to rub her clit, then slowly entered her pussy.

He removed her underwear which had pooled at her ankles, rose up and brought them to her face. -“Why are those wet ?” she didn’t answer but turned crimson. “Your pussy is wet, your panties are soaked, you played with yourself earlier today”.  

-“I did sir” she owned up “but only because I thought you weren’t coming”.

-“That is no excuse and you know it” he said and then proceeded to stuff her soiled panties in her mouth.  “ you were on a strict no touch rule while I was away”

She tried to protest but a swift slap on her breast brought her to reason, and back into position.  He went back to her exposed buttocks and slipped his finger into her asshole as her indignant cries were muffled.

-“Ah I see you violated another one of the no touch rule. I’ve left a sometime ago and its obvious you’ve played with this little hole as well, see how pliantly it allows my finger in,  feel how opened you are..”

 He grabbed her phone and started checking her browser history all the while  sliding ins finger in and out of her backdoor.  He commented on every porn site that she had visited these past few days, every disgusting blogs that she had read. The humiliation was killing her but she didn’t move and kept her ass spread opened for him to play with. He told her no good girl would go on these blogs to touch herself, that she had a wicked mind. He and pushed her shame even further by noting how turned on she was being inspected.

When he was quite done and her humiliation was complete, he removed his fingers and had her kneel on the ottoman. Soon enough her punishment would begin.
