Neku: Is this the part where you tell me that if I hurt her, you’ll kill me?

Eri: No. If you hurt Shiki, she is perfectly capable of killing you herself.

I wonder who ruined things so badly that Kanon closed recruitment to the Variabeauties.

Was it a disaster she witnessed in another team or something she experienced personally? How do you deal with someone acting as a deadweight in a life-or-death situation?

It’s gotten to the point where she would say, “Thanks but no thanks” to the Legendary Player himself — seemingly one of her best options of escape — because of her trust issues.

Week 1 Day 4 (4/13)

Erich: 5 minutes to go. I wonder who it will be. Bristol: Maybe the whole family will come... That would be fun. Riley: Nah... Rosetta: Marshall would be a fun surprise! I don’t think we spend enough time with him. Lori: True! But we’ll see. Judy: Anyone some ice tea? Bristol: That sounds lovely! Erich: Yes please. ???: Hello everyone. Good to see you all again.

Day 4

Safety cut, line breaks where the original posts ended.

Hold up, wait. The Ruinbringers WON, and at least some chose NOT TO LEAVE. And apparently they are allowed to CHANGE THE RULES. WHAT. WHAT ARE THE SHINJUKU RULES EVEN. There’s no way this ‘other game’ isn’t a trap. There’s no way. Shit. Ah nuts it’s day 4. Day 4 is traditionally a doozy. Shiiiiiiiiit.

And I see you being cryptic Minamimoto. Bring who out of hiding. WHO.

-----------------------

So we’ve got Rindo with Time Travel, Fret with Remind, and Nagi with Dive to the heart. I was expecting those Noise to hit a LOT harder.

Also I’m pretty sure where most of these hints are supposed to lead >.> Here comes a LOT of walking.

Hmm. Rindo was just texting Swallow again and he would have noticed if Nagi was the once responding.

WAIT. Those birds. Swallow.

-----------------------

Well I just went from ‘haha I’m gonna scan Eiji Oji’ to D: RAMEN DOOOOON real fucking fast oof.

JUST LIKE SEBASTIAN USED TO MAKE NOOOOOOOO.

Well that random detour made me sad. Thanks game.

-----------------------

“Normally we give them out when people die, but if everyone’s already got ‘em, it saves us the work later on.”

That actually makes sense but like, is a very good way to miss players. Also a good way for someone to mess with a pin before it gets to a living person. I can’t see how you would reasonably collect Entry Fees with that kind of system though. Maybe Shinjuku Rules really just doesn’t have them. Hmm.

-----------------------

I’m glad Sebastian the Ramen Guy is still here, even if he cooks curry now. Bro just do both. Weird combo restaurants are awesome. Anyway, Joshua and Neku liked the weird curry-ramen from the ramen saga so…

-----------------------

Collecting those numbers was actually kind of fun. This is THE most suspicious possible way to give out your number but VERY cool as a little puzzle. I’m very glad it let me check my notes as I dialed the number or I would have been boned.

Time to see if this is a trap.

Scary music oh boy. OH and it goes silent when you win. GOOD.

whELP better a swindle than a murder. I was fully expecting- KARIYA!!!!!! I just threw my hands up and screamed in real life. First Reaper with their wings out.

“Southsiders”. Hmm. Hang on where is Shinjuku in relation to Shibuya? *googles* Yeah, I figured. Shinjuku is directly to the north, Shibuya is in the south. “You Southsiders aren’t having any fun.” Well, now that is interesting. Even a Player is drawing a distinction between the two sets of Reapers. And the OGs are apparently NOT okay with how things are going right now.

“You’ve got some pretty big shoes to fill here in Shibuya. We had a player come through once who ended up flippin’ the entire Game right on its head.” HE WAS TALKING ABOUT NEKU AAAAAH. BRO those are some HIGH expectations.

A… “living legend”…. ahahahahahahahahaha fffffffffffffffffffffffffff weeeeell that depends what happened after A New Day. Fuck me.

Oh look Rindo FINALLY NOTICED it’s weird Swallow can still text him. Bruh you are not observant.

FFFFFFFFFFFF HE JUST WALKED PAST ME-!

W1D3/W1D4: yesterday was day three! I did not run yesterday, but I had an awesome cardio workout! Today was the first day of the second semester. I had a green smoothie (spinach, kale, celery, frozen berries, 1/2 banana, flax seeds, mint and water) for breakfast, hummus wraps and roasted red pepper hummus + celery for lunch, a salad (chicken + tomatoes + zucchini + pecans + hemp seeds + lemon juice) & a glass of Kiefer for dinner! After school I went for a run that was a little over 2 miles (3.4km) and did some core. Now I'm off to the first game of my hockey tournament. I'm thinking I'll fit in a workout after my game. Let's do this! 💪🏼🥗

A-Qing MDZS Women Appreciation | W1D4

“Ge-ge, what’s the matter?”

___________________________ She couldn’t protect the man who had taken her in and cared for her. But she stayed. She became a lonely guardian, watching out for the remains of her lost brother in the silence and darkness which were forced upon her. Until that fated day when she gave her life so that the culprit who had shattered this tender soul would be brought to justice.

This is the last piece of my Beautiful Sacrifice Series centering around the women of MDZS/CQL. I am planning to do another MDZS women series with the ones I haven’t drawn yet. And I am thinking about posting the concept art of this series in case anyone is interested haha Jiang Yanli | Wen Qing | MianMian | A-Qing | Concept

i’m placing this post under the cut because it is both HUGE NEO TWEWY SPOILERS and also OVER 1.2K WORDS LONG but here is my neo twewy relationships headcanons infodump. ft. a lot of people but also my promised neku & shiba lore

my promised shiba & neku lore: neku doesn’t like shiba. it isn’t quite hatred but it’s very close; the only reason why it isn’t point-blank hatred is because neku can fully acknowledge and understand that shiba was being manipulated for years. however. living in shinjuku with the direct consequences of shiba’s actions, people who died because of it, makes him less than fond of the man! he is, at the very least, relieved that shiba has acknowledged what he did and is working to fix shinjuku. it can’t undo the hurt, but y’know. (gestures wildly) the whole thing i’m looping around to is that they don’t. talk about it. there’s nothing TO talk about, really. they avoid each other when in the same place for meet-ups, and shiba doesn’t push it. but hishima does keep neku updated on the shinjuku situation, and it’s... good, to hear. that things are being mended. y’know?

rhyme & haz friendship is very... something. i think that joshua gets into contact with rhyme some time after the events of neo twewy, mostly to ask for their assistance in keeping the rns updated with kaie. the whole composer thing comes into play there in a way that it does NOT necessarily with haz! rhyme meets haz through rindo, like they would with any other kinda guy, and haz is very much an angel and very much the former/current/former composer of shinjuku, but mostly rhyme knows him as that guy who doesn’t know what half of the food in shibuya is. mostly, until they see him with joshua, and they can’t be blamed for being curious! really. not like joshua would let them do research, and mr. h is nowhere to be found, but haz seems amicable enough to it. in his own way, of course.

i think they get this thing going where rhyme invites him out to do something (sometimes it’s a food place, sometimes it’s an activity, sometimes it’s something the reapers showed rhyme) and they talk about nothing while talking about A Whole Lot. those kinda layered conversations, y’know? and also. like. haz IS curious about rhyme, is the thing, because he very clearly doesn’t understand what makes humanity and shibuya tick, and especially doesn’t understand what makes rhyme tick when something so... essential was taken from them three years ago! but like. being able to adapt and grow and change around that is human nature. very much another case of “haz makes human friends he doesn’t get but likes to be around anyway” which i like for him a lot. meanwhile rhyme and kaie are texting back and forth about the higher plane and angels and things they probably shouldn’t know but hey! nobody’s snitching.

speaking of kaie. i think kaie and hishima are good friends! meanwhile kaie    has extremely mixed opinions on the man’s husband. i said that kaie and shiba’s relationship is very on the mend, and i think that kaie is much more willing to accept that he wants to mend shinjuku and be happy with that (especially since they can read and analyze his soul, which probably helps in the whole trustworthiness factor. and, of course, their own readings.) but like. they do need to have a Talk, eventually, and i think that comes a couple weeks after everything settles. it’s a part of everything settling, really. shiba do you realize that one of the members of your found family was fully willing to die before following along in your path of destruction  shiba. shiba. there’s a lot of people close to shiba that he hurt and i think he realizes this at the end of the game, yes, but i don’t think he sees the full magnitude of that until he talks to everyone and starts to repair shinjuku. you know how it is.

also hey do you think about how kaie and susukichi were close and then susukichi got erased or are you normal, 

i’m just thinking really hard about how kaie was the one susukichi texted to tell that he was making a risky move. and how kaie’s response was “please don’t do anything rash, my friend” and then susukichi was erased. and susukichi was erased and he wanted to protect the wicked twisters if shibuya got erased and. and clearly, susukichi trusted kaie. (they were one of the only reapers left,) and. i'm just thinking about kaie's willingness to go down with shibuya. that conversation with hishima happens right after susukichi is erased. how much of home is even left to move with? how many times is shiba going to sacrifice their family for this, if kaie keeps going? it's... better to stay, if it's inevitable (and in the end it isn't. but susukichi is still gone.)

AND THEN IN THE HISHIMA CONVERSATION TOO! kaie’s little snap at him to “reflect on himself before speaking of others :/” when hishima makes a comment about leaving shiba behind too. they’re absolutely not having it when susukichi was just erased (when susukichi was doing something stupid, when susukichi wanted to stop shiba before shibuya could be erased again,)

gestures wildly. i have thoughts. but continuing on for now,

fret & kariya hang out. i do have relatively strong feelings on fret & kariya’s canonical interactions, which are mostly short but RICH with character specifically from fret; in w1d4, which is arguably my favorite example of it, fret drops the act to call kariya out on his lie, in the MOST snarky voice acting, almost… mocking? but not malicious. just. calling him on it. which kariya proceeds to acknowledge (“(k) looks like you learned your lesson after all” “(f) didn’t realize we’d be tested so soon!”) but this is INTERESTING because of how early on it happens and how innocuous in the moment it seems! however. besides that. i think kariya is one of very few people fret has never really put the act up for.

i think post-game the wicked twisters DO deserve some (relatively) responsible adult figures in their life, and while i love the hachiko gang dearly, they’re very newly adults and neku has been gone for three years. they’re healing and while i DO think they care for the twisters they absolutely cannot fulfill the responsible adult figure role because they’re barely adults themselves. they’re in very similar situations of heavy trauma from the game. sometimes you just need a weird-but-cool reaper uncle (kariya) to bug, and fret kind of takes to hanging out with him like a duck to water

there’s a specific intersection of their interests too where it’s like… “(fret voice) you like food, i like eating, let’s go hang out at a food place together” and “(kariya voice) you like fashion, i like clothes, let’s go check out some clothes places.” also i think kariya isn’t necessarily someone fret comes to for advice often but he is one of the people on the list that fret feels comfortable being honest with, at least. also fret gets to be kind of bitchy when he’s with kariya (and uzuki, too, although i think a little bit of the act goes back up when she joins their little hangouts) and it’s a NICE change of pace. a more genuine expression of self.

(i also do think it’s a funny friendship with fret being mr. minami’s favorite & kariya and sho being exes. like yeah. kariya took the kids in the divorce years later)

I THINK THAT’S IT FOR NOW? YEAH. i have other thoughts but like. none so much as to put into a post like this and also this post is already SO LONG. if you’ve stuck it out until now, a) how and b) thanks for sticking it out i hope u enjoyed!!

How has Covid impacted your ability to stay on task? Are there any positives of this situation that you can take advantage of?

Covid has crushed my motivation to get anything done. The End. lol This whole time I’ve been telling myself that I need to take advantage of all of this free time I have to focus on my health, and developing new and old skills. But really this pandemic has showed me how exhausted I am.

Week 1 Day 4 (7/13)

Audrey: Rosetta! Rosetta: Good afternoon Audrey. Audrey: How have you been dear? Are they all treating you nice? Rosetta: Yes ma'am.  Audrey: Hahaha stop being so nervous around me. You can’t even look me in the eye. I was even the person who picked you to come here. Rosetta: You were!? I... I thought you might be angry at me.  Audrey: Why could I dear? Rosetta: Because I walked away from my duties in Champs Les Sims. Audrey: Oh no no... Well you kinda did but I picked you to give you a chance to get back. Without losing your freedom. I know you and Marshall used to play together when you were small. Do you miss your old life? Rosetta: Sometimes. But I love being a teacher.  Audrey: But what would you do if you and Marshall will end up together? Rosetta: I... I would like to keep teaching. But I don’t believe I can. *sigh* It’s something the future can only tell. But just seeing Marshall again is amazing. I do wish we would see him more. Audrey: You will. Now thanks dear. Can you tell Riley to come by? Rosetta: Yes ma’am! Audrey: Have a seat. Riley: Sure. Audrey: Riley... Maren choose you to be here. Riley: Oh that’s so nice of her.  Audrey: I had a hard time looking up information about you. Riley: Yeah... I can see how. Audrey: Why is that? Riley: Why would you want to know? Audrey: You are here to try to marry my son. Riley: Fair. I changed names multiple times. Every time I got dropped in a new family. Audrey: Oh... New family? Riley: Yeah. My real parents are gone. No clue who they are okay.  Audrey: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. Riley: That’s what they all say. Can I go now? Audrey: Yes...  Riley: Only Lori is left I’ll send her over. Audrey: Thank you.

The Future Me W1D4

11/4 - How has Covid impacted your ability to stay on task? Are there any positives of this situation that you can take advantage of?

It's been hard, I'm not going to lie. I've had a really hard time, especially lately, feeling motivated. I started out really motivated at the beginning of quarantine, I was walking several miles everyday. I was baking a lot, I started doing embroidery in earnest after not doing any sort of crafts for a while. I was hosting game nights on Zoom. And I was feeling pretty good about work too. Even in a remote environment I was doing okay.

But the last couple of months have been hard. I've got some extra challenges at work with a new boss, I've lost a lot of my motivation to eat well word exercise and now it's too dark to get out at night and I'm not a morning person.

The positives I see of this time have been more universal. I'm not seeing within myself right now, but I feel like people are being more intentional about their relationships, there's more family togetherness, there's more time outside, etc etc.

Daily challenge

Finish the backs on a couple of my old embroideries. I did it!

Weekly Challenge

Go to bed around midnight. Last night was a little bit harder, and here I am right before midnight completing today's post. I'll still be in bed within the next 30 to 40 minutes and will count it as a win. Considering I was going to bed around 3:00 a.m., anytime before that is good / better.

Emma’s TFM2020 W1D4

Yesterday was truly a mental health day for me. Today might also be a mental health day too due to the election.... 

11/4- How has Covid impacted your ability to stay on task? Are there any positives of this situation that you can take advantage of? 

It has impacted it a lot. I do not feel motivated most days. I just want to move to the woods and live off the land and not have to deal with the human race as much as I have to do right now. Positives I would say include taking more time for me. I have been knitting more and hanging out with people more without being on my technology. 

Daily challenge: 

Do my math homework. 

Weekly challenge: 

Sleep by 10pm

What motivates me?

My desire to see the world keeps me motivated. If I’m not healthy or too overweight, traveling becomes very difficult. Even though I enjoy a relaxing beach, I really love walking around amazing cities and experiencing the culture and history. If I’m not in shape, those walks are shortened and I seriously can’t move the next day.

I have a bucket list I want to complete!
