Here it is! My first fanfic in over TEN years! This fic is for today's Destiel fandom event Electric Boogaloo, hosted by @blanketforcas in celebration of the anniversary of the Latam dub giving us canon reciprocal Destiel.
The theme of the event is reciprocation, and that is the theme of my little fic. I hope you like it!
(I wanted to also share this to AO3 and contribute to the over 100,000 Destiel fanworks, but I haven't gotten my invitation yet! So this will go over there eventually.)
Word count: 1,778 words
No warnings of any kind. I think it's a sweet kind of story.
Short summary: Dean sits down to write a letter for Cas with all the things he didn't get to say.
Felicidades a Dean y Castiel en este aniversario. Siempre quiero recordar la alegría (y el DOLOR de ALMA lol) que estos dos me han dado desde el 2012 hasta el día de hoy. Los amo. 😊✨
(Congratulations to Dean and Castiel in this anniversary. I always wat to remember the joy (and the PAIN of my SOUL lol) these two have given me since 2012 until today. I love them. 😊)
💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙
The words he never said
A short fic by Here for the Ships (Des 💚)
Dean Winchester sat at his desk with nothing but a pencil, a sheet of paper, and a bottle of booze. Sam was out in an early morning run with the dog, so Dean was alone with some time to kill and some thoughts to finally drag out of his head and smother away with this one sheet of paper. It had been over two months, now, since he had been forced to part ways with Cas; since his entire world had been turned inside-out and upside-down.
He wasn’t sure if he had processed everything; from the loss of Cas, to defeating Chuck (aka the God), to living in a world where his new God had been a surrogate son to him only a couple of months ago.
The events of those days played often in his mind, when he found himself alone; they paraded in his dreams as he tried to sleep at night… The grief of what was lost had become a constant companion, peering through any moment of peace in the most unexpected ways. A song suddenly playing in the radio, a scent attached to a moment he would never get back.
Dean had considered taking it on as his one mission in life, hunting down the Empty and getting Cas back. But no. He had learned it well and deep by now, that revenge never resulted in anything good. Plus, he’d had enough of dealing with supernatural beings with ineffable, omnipotent powers. Chuck was the final Big Fish he took down, and he was good with that.
Dean took a look at the bottle of room-temperature beer for a few seconds, and he pushed it back on his desk instead of taking a sip this time. It’d hurt, but these words needed to be said. Or at least, he needed them out of his head and stored somewhere else.
“Well, Cas… These are the things I never said…” he said to himself, picked up the pencil, and got to writing:
Last night I prayed to Jack, again… And Cas, buddy, you know how much I hate having to do that. But I had to. You know, I thought I had accepted it, that I was over it. You did what you had to do, and I did what I had to do… We were all doing what we thought was right. But it just keeps playing over and over, and over in my head.
Cas, what the hell were you thinking? I’m not one for judging… I’ve done my share of stupid things, too. For love, for not wanting to be left alone… But Cas, how could you do this to me? I know it sounds fucking selfish, because you’re gone, and because of that we’re all safe and your sacrifice wasn’t it vain—it was never in vain, I really hope you know that. But Cas, now I have to live knowing that you’re gone because you loved me. You loved me. You said all those things about me, I can scarcely remember all of it (trust me, I’m kicking myself about it every freaking day), but I can feel it, everything. I can feel every damned word, every damned day.
Just so you know, because of you… Because of you I could see more in me. Because of you I could see myself differently than I ever did before. Man, I wish I wasn’t so bad with this… That I could put into words just what that all meant to me, what it means to me.
You said all those things about me, and I didn’t get to say anything. And yeah, just like I’ve prayed to you, hoping you could hear what I had to say, I’ve also prayed to Jack. I’ve prayed almost every single night for him to get you out of that place; for him to set things right… But I haven’t heard a word from Jack, and I haven’t seen a flutter of angel wings anywhere; nothing to connect me to Heaven, nothing to give me a clue on what to do….
Every night, the scene of your death plays inside my head, like a freaking movie I can’t look away from no matter how much I want. And in my head, I always stop it from happening. In my head we face the Empty together and we win. We always win.
Dean stopped for a moment, gathering his thoughts, wondering if writing this would be enough.
I think I took it for granted, that we always win. I think at some point I felt invincible. You know, you and me, and Sam, we’ve taken some pretty Big Fish. I think something inside me always felt like we’d always win, that we’d always come back to the bunker together and share some beers. I think something inside me always believed that, even though I didn’t fully realize it. Looking back now, I see it. Cas, when you said those words to me, I froze. And it took me a while, you know? To understand what really happened. That I was your happiness.
“No, I don’t think I should put it like that…”
That I was your happiness. That just letting me know how you felt about me was enough to make you truly happy. Enough to make the Empty come and take you. But Cas, now I have to live with that knowledge and it’s driving me fucking crazy, because… Alright, I’m not good with words, and I’m sure by now you know that about me, Cas, but I just wanted you to know, I needed you to know
Dean sat back and sighed a long sigh, staring at the page like it was staring right back at him, somehow shaming him, even though there was no one here to read over his shoulder. “I can’t even write the motherfukin’ words.”
There was no time to finish this now, anyway. He’d heard the door a few minutes ago: Sam was back, and he should be in the shower now. There was a case they were driving up to today, and he’d already made up his mind: it would be his last. He was officially retiring after today (not that he’d told Sam anything about that yet, but… he’d figure out how to say it on the way back).
They were supposed to leave after breakfast for a whole day of driving.
Chuck was defeated and Jack had vanished, having become the new God (that was still crazy to think about). There were no immediate world-ending threats and no more infinitely powerful surrogate son to take care of anymore. He was done hunting. If Cas was truly gone forever, then he’d honor his sacrifice by living the best possible life he could live. And that life, however he looked at it… That life didn’t include hunting. Not anymore.
Dean sat down to tie his boots, and as he did, a second pair of boots appeared right in front of him. “Man, that was fast. I didn’t even hear the damned door just now. You’re gonna have to give me a break, Sammy.” But when he raised his gaze, he found himself looking at Jack, standing there with a small smile.
The color drained out of Dean’s face. For a moment, he could only stare at Jack, wondering if he was imagining it.
“Hello, Dean. You’ve been okay?” Jack said, sounding a little timid, to which Dean replied, “Yeah… I’m fine, no thanks to you… Almost gave this old man a heart attack…” Dean joked, a little breathless, and God or not, this was Jack, so he pulled him into a hug. “Come here. How’ve you been? It’s so good to see you…”
“I’ve been good,” Jack said, and he pulled away. “There’s someone else who’s been wanting to see you." Jack beamed. "Believe me, it took me a while to negotiate (you won’t be surprised to know, not even God is entirely all powerful), but I finally did it…”
And that was when Dean felt it, the powerful presence behind him.
He could do nothing but stand there as the realization of what Jack meant dawned on him, until the words broke him out of the spell, “Hello, Dean.”
Dean turned around, and there he saw…
“Cas…”
Castiel was standing there, right in front of his bed. He was fully restored; Dean didn’t need to see a shadow of his wings to know this was Cas in his full angelic power, safe and alive and standing right there in his bedroom. “But… how?”
“We heard your prayers,” Jack said, “and Cas didn’t belong in the Empty. I had to right a wrong.”
“You damn well had to…” said Dean, still staring at Cas. “Jack…” He finally turned back to thank him—to say anything—but Jack was gone.
“Dean… I’m so sorry…” Cas said. “I should’ve—”
“What are you talking about, man… You’re back… That’s all that matters.”
“I owe it all to Jack. He is everything I hoped he would become,” Cas said, and he smiled.
And then, there was silence. Even though Dean had been writing a long letter just moments ago, full of all the things he wished he could have said to Cas that day, here was Cas in the flesh right now—his Cas—and not a single word would form.
So Dean just pulled Cas into a hug and squeezed him tight, breathing him in.
“I’m sorry it all happened so abruptly; I wish I could—” Cas started.
“I don’t care. Cas… I don’t care.” Dean pulled back from the hug, staring Cas straight in the face with his hands still on his arms. “All I care is that you’re here.”
Cas looked sad, or perhaps, conflicted. “Dean… I know… What I said before…” he started, but Dean stopped him again.
“Cas… If you heard me just now… If you’ve heard my prayers, to you, to Jack… Then you know. But still… I feel like I should say something.”
“Dean… You really don’t have to—”
“But I’m not good at saying something, so…” he pulled Cas into a kiss. It was warm and tender, and salty with the tears that had finally pushed their way out. Cas kissed him right back, and when they stopped, they stood there sharing each other’s breath, with their lips just an inch away from another kiss.
“I think that should be enough of an answer… But if it wasn’t, Cas…” Dean smiled, a small, trembling smile, and it was almost a whisper when he said, “I love you, too.”

One Piece 1120
Tumblr media
friendly reminder that Law would've loved to see the robot 😔
some chapter thoughts and rambles under the cut
- We're so soo close to egghead's closure woah.
Next week has an anniversary spread so the chapter should be stacked. Throwing in an easy prediction: Emet will launch an attack that'll completely immobilize the gorosei, forcing them to retreat so Luffy and team can smoothly escape without the Elders chasing their tail. Basically, I think SHs escape within next chapter or the one after. Law update soon 😤
-Regarding D lore, I find it interesting that there are at least three D's who served the government. Recruiting them or purging them, both might've been a result of the government acknowledging their potential to upturn the world. Maybe Monkey family served the navy for generations even before Garp, and Saul had giant genes which gave the govt incentive to keep him on their side. The D's who defy the government never bothered to hide their identity, like Xebec, Teach, or Roger. Their families might've faced discrimination too, for all we know, Teach had a rough time growing up
- I wonder what happened to Portgas bloodline, were most of them already annihilated by the time Rogue met Roger? Did Rogue's resilience come from a difficult childhood? What happened to Gol family, and who gave Roger his hat? At this point, I'm pretty sure Roger will have his own spinoff at some point.
-Agree with everyone who speculates that Robin might be D. Hell maybe she is already by association, similar to Sabo.
-Once again, the official translation did a better job. "what does he mean, Gol D.?" was better than "did he just say Gol D.?", Clau D. was also more Oda-like choice of word, better explained by Artur in his tweet thread.
-I wonder if Toei will give Emet a child-like voice? Similar to Alphonse, maybe?
-There's a Sulong Bepo vivre card on Sept 4th and this week's jump featured a page to promote it! Maybe I'll make a separate post on that one..

it's incredibly funny to me but i just understood the concept of two days long christmas (25th and 26th of december) plus the christmas eve because when it comes to november 5th we start celebrating on november 4th (like. the christmas eve or new year's eve, before the actual anniversary date, the fireworks already go off) and then there's of couse the main date, november 5th, the craziness, everyone is back online even after months, and then the day ends but wait there is a catch! because for some people (myself included) the confession happened actually on november 6th!!! (australia, europe, for me it was about 2.40 a.m.) sooo the celebration continues because actually the whole aftermath happened on the 6th!!! and it goes and it goes and it just doesn't really end because there is november 25th just right around the corner to hit me with a hammer of a spanish dub canon destiel rogue translator and brazillian ad libbed birds chirping over a sobbing on the floor dean winchester

Tumblr media
Happy "Guns for Hire" Anniversary! We are back and this time with a mini event. "Lust Alley Weekend" will take place on May 3rd to May 5th.
You may be asking yourself, "what is Lust Alley?" It is a really meta Easter egg hidden in the concept art that aired in the credits after "Guns for Hire." Let's zoom into the above photo a bit and rotate it so it is upside down. I sharpened this image so it was easier to see.
Tumblr media
The street sign above translates into "Lust Alley" when translating from aurebesh. Din and Bo were literally running down "Lust Alley" chasing a rogue droid in "Guns for Hire."
"Guns for Hire" in general was a very meta episode. First, Din and Bo are traveling to a planet called "Plazir-15." Plazir is similar to the French spelling of "plasir" which means pleasure. The number 15 symbolizes love. The episode literally opens with the quarren captain and a Mon Calamari prince. They can't be together because they come from two different worlds. Then we meet the Duchess and captain Bombardier shortly after. They are a success story of a political turned love marriage between royalty and a former imperial. Bo is royalty and Din used to be a bounty hunter for the empire.
During the entire episode you see couples everywhere. After running down Lust Alley and defeating the rogue battle droid, Din and Bo then go to a droid bar where they are told that "human life is so short" as they turn and look at each other. This entire episode can possibly be a meta foreshadowing that they will eventually be together which is why it's so beloved by Dinbo shippers.
So for our first Dinbo weekend event, we will give you the prompt of "Lust Alley." Anything goes from fanfics, art, metas, etc... Take it as a vague prompt and get creative. It does not have to center around Guns for Hire.
This mini event was inspired by a mini event presented by @sabezraweek.

Aliens Masterlist
Adventures in Bodyswapping (ao3) - celeste9 phil/darcy T, 6k
Summary: Darcy thought the takeaway was clear - don't mess with Asgardian tech when you don't know what it does.
alien fruit (ao3) - zauberer_sirin phil/skye M, 5k
Summary: Daisy and Coulson finally catch a break in space. Problem is, their hosts assume a lot of things about their relationship.
Aliens, Anniversaries, and Other Things Clint is Awesome At (ao3) - Noxnthea bucky/clint T, 4k
Summary: Clint is distracted. 
Which isn’t abnormal, per se; it’s just incredibly inconvenient at this particular moment in time, as his distraction causes him to nearly fall to his death at the base of a Manhattan skyscraper. 
So again, not abnormal. 
“Goddamnit, Hawkeye, how’s it I spend half my time saving your ass instead of the city?”
Just incredibly inconvenient.
All the Best Trouble (ao3) - Mireille loki/tony E, 53k
Summary: While the rest of the Revengers are busy elsewhere, Thor sends Loki and Tony on what looks to be a routine trading mission. Unfortunately, they weren't adequately informed about some of the local customs, and what they thought was strictly a formality--Tony having to register as Loki's "bondservant" for the duration of their visit--turns out to be much more complicated.
Dereliktion (ao3) - AMidnightDreary loki/tony E, 203k
Summary: When the second prince buys him as his personal pleasure slave, Tony is quite certain that he's fucked. It goes both better and worse than he expects.
Drive It Like You Stole It: A Bodyswap (ao3) - AggressiveWhenStartled steve/bucky E, 28k
Summary: Steve had gone fully red-faced with pedantic altar-boy fury. “Did your computer forget how to Google translate?” he bellowed, sticking his head up and over. Bucky yanked him down again. “What are you even trying to say?”
Bucky tried to shake the sparkles off the grenade he had been planning on lobbing over the divider. “It sounded like Latin to me,” he said reasonably, pursing his lips and frowning at the explosive. It dripped a sparkle, and a puff of purple smoke curled up where it hit the concrete.
“That’s because you spent Sunday school flirting with Sarah Cunningham,” Steve accused, bobbing back up to throw his shield and ducking back down to dodge a shining ball of blue light. “You wouldn’t know Latin if it came up and kissed you on your ugly mug.”
“I’d sure know it if Sarah Cunningham did, though.” Bucky grinned, struck by the memory. “That gal really knew what she was doing.”
Easy to Blur (ao3) - foxxcub clint/phil E, 3k
Summary: The threat had been contained. The alien-of-the-week had been taken down, and there were zero casualties. Everything had gone rather smoothly, if Phil did say so himself.
Save the part where he apparently had inadvertently gotten tagged by the alien’s heat gun.
And by heat, they didn’t just mean temperature.
Empathic Responses (ao3) - waterbird13 bucky/tony E, 137k
Summary: In a world that still considers alphas the protectors, betas the every-day masses to fill out the ranks, and omegas as homemakers and glorified objects, Tony Stark is born. Tony is born an omega in a world where that means he’s a homemaker, a provider, with limited opportunities and a lack of autonomy. Tony says fuck that, no matter what the rest of the world is telling him. As the Rogues return, Tony is left dealing with the world coming down around his ears. The Accords, Aliens, and, of course, the alpha who somehow just moved into his life.
Legal Alien (ao3) - WhisperingDarkness T, 3k
Summary: Normal people didn't have to worry about this sort of thing when they go on a holiday. They worry about things like losing their luggage, catching a cab or something similar. Not alien invasions. Harry, however, had never been normal. Then again, neither were these guys. One-shot.
Me and You (is who the future belongs to) (ao3) - melonbutterfly loki/tony T, 29k
Summary: Tony is in for quite a culture shock when he leaves for Jötunheimr to meet his soulmate for the first time, especially since what little he knows of the place is hearsay passed on through Æsir, who aren't exactly neutral on the subject. But he wouldn't be Tony Stark if he didn't roll with it.
Possession (ao3) - Oudemia loki/steve M, 44k
Summary: Odin appears on Earth two years after the Chitauri attack, with a rather unusual offer. Either one of the Avengers must accept Loki as their slave as a continuation of his punishment, or he will be returned to his prison in Asgard for an eternity of pain and torture. Steve, being Steve, has a problem with this.
Say Goodbye to Yesterday (ao3) - melonbutterfly loki/tony, jane/thor E, 111k
Summary: The day after the invasion Tony wakes up and his tower is intact again; everything is exactly the way it was before this whole mess went down. It doesn’t take him long to catch up but he can’t figure out why he’s in a time loop – so he does what anyone would: fuck things up while trying to find a way to fix this. Somewhere along the way, his priorities change and suddenly he finds himself involved neck-deep in Norse family drama, along with some other stuff.
Sin in Silence (ao3) - orphan_account loki/tony E, 87k
Summary: When someone from the far end of the galaxy shows an interest in Tony's competencies, he is taken by force one night. On his journey he meets a stranger under less than stellar circumstances who may turn out to be not as strange as he would like.
Someone to Love (ao3) - blue_jack steve/tony, pepper/tony, clint/natasha M, 47k
Summary: Tony doesn’t give much thought to Steve when they go their separate ways. They’d had a job to do, and they’d done it and done it well, but Steve is a ball of anger and issues and sadness that he really wants no part of right now. He doesn’t dislike the guy, and they’ve worked out most of the tension between them, but he has enough of his own baggage to recognize a lost cause when he sees it, and Steve? Needs a lot of work.

Three Year Anniversary:
Hello everyone! Today is the three year anniversary of Tales of Underground. Despite the lack of updates since last year, I swear that this comic is not dead. In fact, the next part is very nearly complete and will be releasing in the next 24 hours!
Here’s a sneak peek of Part 8: Team Rogues:
Tumblr media
In other news, I recently found out that there exists a full Chinese translation of this comic: https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv10006011
Honestly, I am astounded that people enjoy this comic enough to have translated it. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Chinese, so I’m not sure how to credit the person who translated it beyond linking to their profile, which is here: https://space.bilibili.com/289938521
From the looks of it, they do a lot of translations of Undertale AU content and I sincerely appreciate all that they do. I have the utmost respect for people who take their time to translate things for free.
Anyway, that’s all for now. For real this time, 2023 will bring much more of this comic. But for now, come back tomorrow to see Part 8.

Shining Force Country Guide Translation - Part 5/Final
I’ve been reminded that today (March 20th) is the anniversary of Shining Force’s original release! What a sweet time to be wrapping up this guide book, huh? this was in no way intended lmao i suck at remembering dates
say your final goodbyes to the species pie chart:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prompt
Population: 1000 inhabitants GNP: unknown
Species Ratio:
Prompt is the country of direct descendants of the Ancients. Therefore the population is mostly human. The other species are impossible to identify, as there's no data on them.  They are said to carry the blood of the previous civilization in their veins.
____
The cradle of civilization that passes on the blood of heroes
A large country in the center-south of East Rune, in the so-called Old World. It is said to have been founded around 1000 years. The founders were the few survivors of the fall of the previous civilization, but the objective of this founding according to the Book of Genesis was "the succession line of the heroes entrusted with a duty to Dark Dragon's seal". It is unknown if this is true fact or not. Historians are stuck in a dead end on this research.
It is currently an extinct volcano, but Mt. Siglas has previously caused many disasters in this land. The reason Prompt's castle also got buried underground when close to its completion was also due to a huge earthquake. Going on a bit of tangent here, the Conga basin was also formed due to a caldera from an eruption of around 7000 years ago.
Metapha, floating at the southwestern coast, has been a prosperous place of religious cultural exchange, however due to Darksol's looming threat in recent years, relations with other countries have been forbidden. Many ancient writings relating to the previous civilization have survived in Metapha. Prompt historians are the ones most infuriated at the series of incidents with Darksol.
As the Ancients were a civilization of advanced scientific knowledge, their descendants are incredibly cultured as well, but live frugal lives in order to hide it. Once a theory became established that the fall of the previous civilization was due to their scientific advancements going rogue, this tendency became stronger, and their lifestyle has fallen to what could be called primitive. The sumptuary laws proclaimed by the current king, Grando Zussa XII, are likely another reason for this.
Their main activities are farming and hunting. Of course, because the land is bad, harvest isn't plentiful. Not much of their food comes from the agriculture.
-The country is within the jungle, and not even Runefaust can pinpoint its exact location. Had Darksol been able to find it, Prompt wouldn’t be able to exist as it is. He is perhaps more trouble than any volcano...
-The people of Prompt are said to keep a stylish appearance. The way you see them in town (with unshaved faces and naked chests) is somehow disguising their suits! ...or that's the rumor that goes around. No one has confirmed its authenticity. But, it's tough to picture a stylish image from that. Sorry.
i forgot to bring this up last time but it fits better here anyway. The event section for Rudo and Dragonia has something that stood out to me:
Tumblr media
The destined duo, Cain and the protagonist, and Darksol’s scheme
Cain has been the great archenemy to the protagonist through the first half of the game, and finally the Shining Force fights the decisive battle against him in Dragonia. When Cain is defeated, his real face behind the mask is revealed... The truth is, Cain and the protagonist were both swordsmen sent to this world with the same mission. They were meant to join forces in fighting Darksol...
“Sent to this world” is some weird phrasing that is only used here from what i’ve seen, and reminds me a lot of their different backstory in the GBA version. Everywhere else they’re just treated as descendants of a family meant to tend to Dark Dragon’s seal, which is vague enough for either interpretation. So perhaps some idea of them being from the past was already kicking in the writer’s head.
Arthur is no longer helpful at this point, but thankfully, Torasu is, and brings up a lot of Prompt's lore in his HQ dialogue, including the romanization for the volcano's name.
Tumblr media
He does not mention the king's name though, but here's the thing. The king's name is said even in the original game, and it's Kusko. The guide might have forgotten about it here.
A basin, geography wise, seems to be a dip or depression in the earth's surface. A caldera is a hollow formed by a magma chamber emptying after an eruption. I learned more geography through this guide than through all of high school.
Tumblr media
Runefaust
Population: 2000 inhabitants GNP: 3450 gold
Species Ratio:
The huge amount of centaurs is because, much like Guardiana, the country was created mostly by knights from the previous civilization. The population used to be 2000 inhabitants but, since Darksol arrived the army has expanded. 8000 have joined in for military affairs. ___
The rampaging nation causing international distress
The country was founded around 800 years ago, to watch over the Gate of the Ancients to the south of East Rune, just like Guardiana. The founders were mainly knights from Prompt but, this region used to have many small countries and barbarians (people whose cultures had been completely ravaged by Dark Dragon), so establishing the country was extremely rough. After called their homeland for reinforcements countless times, they finally managed to take control of the many countries in the area.
Their political system is a constitutional monarchy, but the knights are extremely influential, and thus the royals' authority weakened little by little. The current king as well, Arc Rei Ramladu VI, just lends his approval to the authoritarianism of his chancellor Darksol. In recent years the army has expanded at a remarkable rate, conquering one after another the small countries surrounding it and taking over their land. Its territory is already three times larger than it was during the previous king's rule, and it quickly became a huge military power.
On the other hand, the agricultural economy it sustained before has collapsed, and it diverged extremely from Guardiana, though they once held the same goals. All that sustains its economy now is the exploitation of conquered lands, and the tyranny of Runefaust's army as it continues to raid country after country now shows even to the west part of the continent, beyond the Lunatic Ocean.
It once had the respect of other countries as a leading power of chivalrous spirit that valued the military arts, but as mercenaries continued to come in, it became a crude belligerent nation. It seems that the knights of the past were executed. There's nothing within the country itself that can curb its military expansionism now.
-Until not long ago there were many small neighboring countries. However, they were all destroyed and annexed into Runefaust. The menacing power of a military empire can be felt from the great wall surrounding it. One can't help but be impressed as well.
-In the peaceful time before Darksol arrived, the greatest entertainment were fighting tournaments from the knights, much like in its sister country, Guardiana. Since the country was more stoic than Guardiana, there were no other forms of entertainment to note.
Tumblr media
The stage for the final battle, the Castle of the Ancients is like this
A castle of devils, or a holy land?
The place where Dark Dragon is sealed. It was originally a facility for extracting resources from the seafloor, made by the Ancients. Being a giant building with over 10 kilometers in diameter, it took 20 years for it to be completed even with the Ancients' scientific prowess. Created with the assumption that it would be staying underwater for long periods of time, it was designed to withstand over 1000atm of pressure, and its exterior is made of a special alloy with a ceramic coating.
As the Ancients saw their civilization fall, their repurposed this facility into becoming Dark Dragon's seal, adding the defense system led by Colossus, and then sinking it to the ocean's depths. After that, they wrote a manual for the control of the facility into a single flat metal piece called "the Book of Secrets". This is final stage of "Shining Force".
-The Gate of the Ancients. There was one to the west of the Guardiana Kingdom as well, but the one pictured here is the one west of Runefaust. Within them lies a mechanism leading to the castle.
-The place you arrive at upon warping from the Gate. Lots of machines can be seen in use. It shows the power of the ancient civilization.
-The interior of the castle has a plain design. But castles bring to mind the idea of defending from foreign intruders, and it does resemble the usual buildings in that sense. Within its depths will be the final battle...

Why You Need A Florist Friend
Plants are amazing. They give us oxygen, look pretty, and can even double as a weapon against rogue dust bunnies. But let's be honest, most of us have a less-than-stellar track record with keeping anything alive besides the questionable science experiment brewing in the back of the fridge (looking at you, year-old salsa!).
That's where your friendly neighborhood florist swoops in, cape billowing dramatically (or maybe that's just the wind from the delivery truck). Florists are basically the superheroes of the plant world, here to save you from your botanical black thumb and spruce up your life in the process.
Here's why having a florist on speed dial is a recipe for win:
They Speak Flower: Forget fumbling through Google translate trying to decipher plant labels. Florists know their lilies from their tulips and can create stunning arrangements that would make even your grandma with the greenest thumb jealous.
Death Doesn't Become You (or Your Apartment): We've all been there. You buy a perfectly perky plant, only to watch it slowly transform into a sad, brown husk. Florists can recommend low-maintenance options and share ninja watering hacks to keep your home jungle thriving.
The Ultimate Wingman (or Wingwoman): First date jitters? Anniversary forgotten until the last minute? Florists got your back (or should we say, centerpiece?). A beautiful bouquet is the universal language of "I care" (or "I'm really, really sorry").
Instant Mood Booster: Feeling like a wilted daisy yourself? Walk into a flower shop. The vibrant colors, gorgeous scents, and overall prettiness are like sunshine for your soul. Trust us, it's cheaper (and more effective) than retail therapy.
So, the next time your apartment resembles a barren wasteland or you need to impress someone (anyone!), don't wait for your aloe vera to sprout superpowers. Call a florist Singapore and let the floral fiesta begin!

Kirigirisu is 10!
Firstly, sorry there is no Japanese on this. We’re in the middle of a very busy period at the moment and this is a bit too long to carefully translate. Hopefully an auto translation will do the job if you need it.
I was a little shocked to realise recently that Kirigirisu has been around for 10 years. I don’t have an exact date for when we decided to start the label but the first order we received was on May 19th 2014. It’s been up and down since then and it’s definitely become more difficult to sell physical items. But at the same time, I think that now a lot more people know about the label and we’re almost approaching some kind of happy balance.
Postal prices are getting worse and worse and the cost of the materials we use to make the releases are going up. But I’ve always wanted our releases to be affordable so I’m doing my best to keep the prices as they have always been. Sadly for some people this means that they are going to pay more for postage than they pay for the actual item. Of course there’s nothing we can do about this, so hopefully the eternally low prices of our stuff will make up for it in some way. And my tip is to buy in batches. Then you can save some money.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the label we have a few things arranged. Sadly the concert at the Budokan for which we were going to fly over all the artists who have ever released on the label has turned out to be not very cost-effective. Instead we have a compilation to offer you. I asked everyone who we’ve released if they would like to provide something for a digital compilation with all the profits going to charity. I was really delighted how many people said yes. Some of the names might seem unfamiliar as they are the new projects of people whose music we have released under a different name. I’m going to leave that as a puzzle for you to solve for yourself if you want to. The compilation is going to be massive and will be on Bandcamp as a pay what you want release, but I would strongly encourage you to donate something as the money will go to Doctors Without Borders. With this in mind, if you could buy on a Bandcamp Friday or do so directly by sending us an email, (we’ll send you a download code), we can make sure that as much of your money as possible goes to the good cause. Thank you so much to the artists who have provided their music. Currently, the compilation is slightly delayed as we are moving flat in the next few weeks. Not great timing for the Kirigirisu anniversary, but a good thing for us. I will publicise in all the usual places when it is up and available and will send a very short mailout too.
Along with the compilation, there is something else exciting happening now, around the proper anniversary. In order to use up some of the remaining parts we had from previous releases, we’ve made some ‘rogue’ versions of previously sold out releases. To distinguish them from the previous limited edition ones, they will all come in different colours, not only different from the original, but also from each other. So some of them look a little wild. Sometimes there is a little defect with the artwork, but only the smallest of things. You probably won’t even notice. In order to avoid masses of Bandcamp batch making, we are offering them outside of the site, but you will get a Bandcamp download code with the release. To order, please send a message via email to [email protected] or via Twitter to https://twitter.com/kirigirireco or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/kirigirisurecordings or somewhere stating what you’d like and in which colour. I’ll allocate them on a first come first served basis and will confirm everything before you pay. There are photos of the items on our Instagram but here’s a list of what we have:

There are a few more that we could make, but I’m waiting for the approval from the artists. Will let you know if they say yes. All of these orders will be shipped after we’ve moved so around the start of June. And I’m sorry in advance if any of my responses are a bit delayed. The next few weeks are going to be very busy!

In addition to this, we had a lot of stickers and inserts left over from the Lorenzo Gomez Oviedo - Bardo Todol cassette which sold out a while ago. To use these up we’ve made some CD copies of the release. As you can see, they look a little bit different from our previous CDs and feature the tape’s sticker on the front and the original cassette’s insert inside a folded paper sleeve in our usual style. If these sell we can hopefully send some money to the artists. The initial run ended up selling out without covering the costs somehow. Guess I’m not the sharp businessman I thought. They are available on the Bandcamp now, but if you want to combine buying one of them with some of the rogues, let me know and we can do it together in one go to save on postage.
https://kirigirisurecordings.bandcamp.com/album/tu-cara-estirada-por-el-extasis
Oh, and we have found two more copies of the Sonotanotanpenz CD. These are definitely the last ones… I think. You can get them here:
https://kirigirisurecordings.bandcamp.com/album/3
So that’s it really. Thank you to anyone who has read this far. Thank you to all the artists who’ve released great stuff on the label over the last ten years. And thank you to all of you who have purchased or enjoyed any of our releases. We are always grateful! Here’s to another 10… maybe.

‘Batman: Child of Dreams’ 20th Anniversary - Japanese manga artist Michitaka Kikuch, well known by his pen name Kia Asamiya, was inspired by their own DC fandom, in particular Batman, to bring back the form of the Batman manga in the early 2000s. Translated into English by Max Allan Collins to two volumes in 2003, "Batman: Child of Dreams" was originally published between 2000 and 2001 in Kodansha's Magazine Z and published by DC comics with a cover date of February 2003.
Written and illustrated by Asamiya in the manga style of reading right to left, when translated into English, it was reverted left to right, making some of the storyline and character representation backwards. Nevertheless, presented is a tale with the Dark Knight grappling the night skies of Gotham City and Tokyo on the hunt for a new dangerous drug on the streets. Once taken, the user can transform into the figure they desire, one that will make all their dreams come true for one full day. Yet once the 24 hour effect is over, the user dies.
The Caped Crusader becomes desperate to discover the source of this poison when many Gothamites transform into infamous rogues in his villain gallery. Once seeing this problem goes beyond dealing with the common crook or the usual costumes criminal, the Batman follows the trail to the bright and busy streets of Tokyo and along with the help of journalist Yuuko Yago discovers the creator is someone who admires our hero to a deadly end.

Is it just me or are the hellers actually calming down am I going crazy?
I don't think you're going crazy. I think what we've been seeing for a while is a gradual attenuation in numbers each time they don't get what they want. Because with the show ended, they have to keep passing a higher and higher bar of delusion to keep hoop jumping to believe their ship was totes canon.
They did blow up after the finale, but they couldn't manage their goal of several thousand signatures on their OMG IT HURT ME CHANGE IT petitions. Since then? Their Spanish translation of validation was quickly labeled a rogue addition and the actor who voices Castiel in Spanish said he didn't see it as romantic. Their twitter wedding roleplay was disavowed by the supporting actors that started it. Most recently, they built themselves up for months and months over Jensen's "sexy silence" sure he'd tell them what they wanted to hear as soon as he did conventions again and [sad trombone]. Not only that, but Misha Queerbaiter Collins flip-flopped again to say it was up for interpretation at the same convention. With no new canon to promise themselves SOON about and all of their attempts to try and badger the CW to release the real ending or fund the actors re-shooting the finale absolutely laughable flops.
Although they're used to disappointment and ramping themselves back up again, so we'll see where things are at when they attempt their D/C anniversary celebration of that episode on the fifth.
