Thinking about Machikado Mazoku and color coded magical girls.

For the uninitiated, lots of magical girl shows assign roles and personalities based on their color pallet.

Pink is always the leader

Yellow (or orange) is usually very bubbly and outgoing

And blue are the smart nerdy ones who are often very sweet and supportive.

In episode 1, Shamiko's mom was talking about magical girls and we saw this image

That is basically just Mikan, Momo and some other girl.

So I wonder who that blue girl is, or could eventually be.

I wonder what character is really smart

Really sweet

and really really supportive

Nana Omori, Ryoko Ono, Tatsuya Yoshida - 菜​涼​田 Sairyoden [Magaibutsu]

Incredible record. Ryoko Ono goes ballistic on every track. DO NOT judge this one by the cover.

🎁 Happy holidays from A Wonderful Danganronpa! (12/25)

[NO SPOILERS]

🐰 USAMI:

"Bwuh? It’s Christmas again? Um, I mean, the Very Eternal Birthday of the Empress Ryoko Otonashi. Or was it the Birthday of the Very Eternal Empress Ryoko Otonashi…? I always try to make a calendar of these things…but then I forget where I put the calendar…and also I can’t write... Awawawa—wait! No time to mosey about thinking stormy thoughts! The students need their presents…! Pip pip cheerio…!"

Looks like the Monastery's celebrating the winter holidays. Click under the cut to see how each character responds to their gift...

📖 SUZURAN DUSTCRAWL:

“GUH! Nope, don’t want it. Don’t need it. Put it in the incinerator. Drop it off a cliff. Hold a funeral for it and invite everyone you know. This box has something in there. Something foul and evil and classified as an infectious disease— Oh…it’s from Usami. That’s…better? … …this will be nice when it gets warmer out. The coat I’m wearing right now—you know…the monks, Usami, they’ve told me that I patched and sewed a lot of it myself, but they’re just making fun of me. I know they’re just making fun of me. I can’t hold anything in my skull, but I’d remember if I had that kind of skill—and everyone always has to make fun of me. This place is a frigging circus and I’m the star of the freak show. All spotlights on Suzuran…flash on, flash off…tomatoes tossed in my general direction. Booooooo. … …this sure is a nice sweater, though.”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🚦 SENJU THE EXCELLENT: 

“Ohohohoho! So it appears heaven once again claims me as their chosen one! Behold: tribute! Behold: mistletoe above, spontaneously sprung, that sweet plant of summertime births! Who might I find underneath? You must think I’m the sort who feeds from the bottom of the river…that just anyone will do. And indeed, I am a privilege…but she is also a privilege. I have my hopes my beloved will wander this way…I have had my hopes all my life.”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🕰️ SIX SHINODA:

“Oh, fuck a mother. She’s coming this way with a box. Yes, yes, thank you, Headmaster…goddamn it. I appreciate the thought. Hmm. It’s…good, actually. No—I really do appreciate the thought. I grew up with so many siblings that as we all got older, people opted to simply give my parents wine as a gift…which ended up with we thirteen children, generally. But wine is just a crutch. It’s all just a crutch, alcohol. Give me cigarettes any day. Or failing that…anyway: I would like to enjoy my alone time smoking in the future, if at all possible.”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🩸 WISTERIA ITO:

“<hic> Lovely, lovely Usami. Saw you hitting up sweet Six over there. Her face looked sour, but it’s always looked that way: she’s…<hic> gorgeously cruel. Oh, I miss it. Oh, I’m positively shiiiivering at the memory. <hic> Or I’m faltering on these legs that have carried me so far. This could be my very last night, you know. But if my luck continues, I am so sorry for the fact I am about to vomit directly on your feet. … This frog, by the way…<hic> There are no laws surrounding its experimental use, did you know? Not that I think the Empress’s influence carries very far up here. Mmhmhm…yes, there is a lot I can do with this little man.”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🌕 YUWA GLADIA:

“Thy generosity honors me, Headmaster! Ah, when the snow falls in such a way, I am reminded of mine own home village in the mountains, and a verse so ancient: The woods are lovely, dark and deep,/But I have promises to keep,/And miles to go before I sleep… Ah? Nay, ‘tis not a poem of mine, but inspiration tonight clutcheth my soul. Mayhaps this is the year I shall finish an epic about the old Hope’s Peak Academy. … Er—I should not speak on it, but—indeed, Kaname dwelleth in the vents tonight.”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🦈 KANAME YOSHIDA:

“THE TAG SAYS—KANAME YOSHIDA. YES—YOU SPELLED IT RIGHT. I’M JUST STILL GETTING USED TO THAT. THE NAME. I’VE NEVER HAD MUCH USE FOR—KANAME YOSHIDA. OR FOR GIFTS. I KNOW IT’S THE EMPRESS’S BIRTHDAY—BUT THIS ISN’T A PROPOSITION—IS IT? I HOPE THAT DOESN’T SOUND TOO RUDE. … I HAVE TO ASK THAT I’M NOT GIVEN ANY MORE GIFTS. OH—IT’S—UM—LOVELY. IT COULD HELP ME FIND LEADS—THEORETICALLY. NEWS SHOWS. BUT WE—ALL THE KANAME YOSHIDAS OF THE WORLD—OWN NOTHING. WE ARE OWNED. IF THAT MAKES SENSE. I HOPE THAT DOESN’T SOUND TOO RUDE. … YES—I HAVE BEEN SLEEPING IN THE VENTS. THEY’RE WARM AT THIS TIME OF YEAR.”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🍯 HACHIHEI ROUSEI:

“Let me help you, Headmaster. No, let me help you. Let me help. I am here to serve. That’s as Saint Tojo once said—but you know that. It’s illogical for you to deliver these all yourself on the day of our glorious Empress—you are positively and perfectly packed with presents, I must say! But I admire your persistence. You are one who makes the impossible possible, to paraphrase Momota the Luminary—you, a positively possible professor, perfectly packed with presents…so let me help you. This one is for me? I never did learn the kanji for my name, so…oh, it is for me. I’m…blessed that you would think me so worthy of a sliver of history like this. It’s practically an heirloom—I am worthy? I guess you’re right. Right and righteous in all regards and rational, too. Yes—I really do think you’re right.  Now let me help you!”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

✈️ FUBU FUSELAGE:

“A bear? A bear? Abearabearallcoveredinhair? For me? For little old me personally? Yahoo! Yippee! Wahoo! Hellyeahhooyeahbooyahetcetera! Buuuuuuuuuuut—Headmaster, Headmaster, Headmaster, I don’t think it’s going to help me sleep. I don’t need the gremlins to tell me that, nope nope notatall nope. I can go a long time without sleeping. Days weeks months. Years? I haven’t slept in four days. Too excited for the Empress’s birthday! ToofreakingSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOKED!!!”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🏍️ REIKA BOULEVARD:

“Um… … … …yes, this is…um, this is adequate. I know you can’t afford much as a Headmaster God and all, so, um… …I do think sometimes…that I could build a better rocket, you know. The vibrations in quartz…you could harness it for, um, anything. But, um…I really have no interest…unless my wife does. Um… Tonight I’m finding a wife…I’ve put up mistletoe everywhere, like the Book says to do. Please don’t take it down…you slut.”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🌀 HIKARI SEKI:

“Nyuhuhuhuh! And here I thought you were a goshin’ Neanderthal like the rest of these farm animals. Turns out you understand the civilized things in life, don’t you, Headmaster? I guess you’d have to if you wanted to keep a place like this running. I can’t even imagine the kinds of troglodytes you have mucking up such a holy hall. Barbaric! Tell you what: let’s go bird-watching when the weather warms up. Then I can decide if you’re a real AI with a brain like a human’s or just a robo-monkey. Nyuhuhuhuh!”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🎸 MELVILLE POINTE:

“No one ever has to do anything like this for me, yeah? It’s unnecessary for gifts to arrive on my doorstep, yeah? Is it understood that this ukulele is too much? Is it understood that I’m just a guy? Headmaster. This is way too much for just a guy, yeah? If it’s important to keep it, I’ll keep it, right? I’ll make good use of it. But the gifts, is it possible to stop with them? Is it possible for me to have peace on this night? Or at all? But nevermind. Do you hear me when I say nevermind?”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

💥 TEISUKE NAGAMORI:

“Now this is what I’m talkin’ about, Headmiss. I gotta keep everyone on watch. Not that I don’t trust y’all’s healers and the like, but I know some old cures that you ain’t ever heard of, ‘cause they’re in no book. Cures against…the unnatural. Like anything that Ito girlie could do to you. Eugh. Headmiss, what’re y’all doing that you’re letting witches into a place like this? She might be at half-power but they’re most dangerous when they’re in their death throes. I ain’t wish no harm on her but if she steps outta line…trust me, I know what they can do. You tell me if you think you got a fever...or, unrelated, if you need a fireworks show for the festivities.”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🧚 IZUMO OHIGATA:

“Hell fucking yessssss~ 🎶 It’s mother fucking fuuuuudge~ 🎶 But I can’t eat it right this moment, or I’ll spoil my appetite. There is gonna be a cake later, right? Oooh, I can feel that tonight’s gonna be a real one. I can feeeeeeeeel it~ 🎶 Protagonists like me have that sense. Call it…main character syndrome. Something real important is gonna happen. Oh, like maybe someone will die, and all their insides will spill out, and I’ll have to sew them back in with their own foot tendons. Shit, I’m hungry for cake just thinking about it. When’s the cake come out pleaaaaaaaaaase~? 🎶”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

♟️ MASATO NOBORU:

“Hah! Yes! Splendid! Headmaster, I shall have to pick your most brilliant godly brain. When I graduate from here, I’ll be starting a school of my own. Not to compete, mind you, heavens no. To teach others what I know of chess! How wonderful! I’ll use this to organize my thoughts and notes. Oh, and this reminds me of my days in Novoselic amongst the Makongo farmers. Such wild and spectacular customs they had, including roasting its genitalia on a—hah, but to understand that story you must hear of the time I spent in the slums of Towa City, dueling ne’er-do-wells in bars. Each day was a struggle for survival with only my ivory pieces and—hah, but the details you need to know about that come from my month in the Arctic, the dangers of which I somehow escaped. With all extremities intact, believe it or not, and a chess board made of scrimshaw to boot. Hah, now I remember, I meant to ask you if you’ve ever heard of Ludenberg Castle, since its original owner, I believe, attended the Monastery long ago—I shall have to ask the young librarian if there are any writings here about her. But this notebook—yes, I have the perfect pen to use in it, too. A most splendid pen! A divine pen! I must show it to you sometime, Headmaster. There are legends surrounding this pen, which my partner’s ancestors had stolen from a temple dedicated to the Saints, and which had been passed down through the ages to him—many say it is a haunted pen, but I do believe it is simply old—and how it smells of stink bug. But it never runs out of ink! Hah, oh, if only he could see me now—my partner. I wonder what he would think. When we traversed the seas on his one-man cruise ship—which he had named for me, the lad—he used to tell me…”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

🏹 YAEKO TOGAMI:

“Well, now, a fine salutationing to you too, Headmaster. Gotta say, I don’t really need anything for the holidays on account of my most extensive adundunce—abund—abundunce? But I’m never one to turn down a fishing rod…especially since no one wanted to come to my pre-party hunting trip. There’s bears and beasties and all kinds of craters—creamers—yeah, craters, up here in the mountains. Creatures. Craters. Crumbles.  Say, you know, next year if you really wanna get me something, you should get me the gift of you, y’know? Run around a little and let me put some arrows in your noggin? I’ll even have ‘em made costume out of pink gold so they’ll match your rosy red cheeks. Custom, yeah, that’s what I meant. And it’s not like I’ll let you suffer! I’ll have the Togami Conglomerate pay for a new divine body right after, so long as you let me chop off your head. It’d look splendiferous above my mettle. Mantle. It’s mettle, right? Anyway, then everyone’s bound to respect me…”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

⚛️ VERITAS YOBIYAMA:

“What? Headmaster, these are my favorite flavor. How’d you know these are my fave…? You asked? I don’t remember you asking. I DON’T remember you ASKING. Don’t you LIE to me. DON’T YOU LIE TO ME, HEADMASTER!!!!! I’m perfectly calm. I wasn’t raising my voice. Only liars raise their voice and Veritas Yobiyama is no liar. I would NEVER lie. I would NEVER LIE! I WOULD NEVER LIE TO YOU, HEADMASTER! WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM? HUH? WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM????????? Serenity now. Serenity now. Say, I should get you something in return. It’s only fair, man. I don’t want this to be a one-way street. That’s dishonest. That’s DISHONEST serenity now. Unless…you’re trying to start a competition with me. Seeing who can give the most gifts. To each other. To others. Is that what this is about? IS THAT what this is ABOUT? Because Veritas Yobiyama can GO, Headmaster! I CAN GO!!! WE CAN GO RIGHT FUCKING NOW, HEADMASTER!!!”

🎁❄️🎁❄️🎁❄️

⚪⚫ ???:

“Aww, shucks. No one ever invites me to their parties…especially not my beloved big sister, Usami. Womp womp. Well, nothin’ to be done about it. Not like I can get out from under here myself, after all. But as that old veggie group once said: I got a feeling~ 🎶 And I got a feeling…that I’ll be out of here quite soon indeed. Puhuhuhu…puhuhuhu.  Tonight’s gonna be a good night, ‘cuz I’m going back to sleep. For now. See you laaaater…”

[karmirage]

incomplete list of niche characters i restrained myself from submitting to the niche comic character tournament

Ryoko Sabuki/Radiance: 7 appearances. Granddaughter of Gwen Lou Sabuki, whom I did submit. Biggest sensation since Dazzler, which would mean more if Marvel remembered Ryoko existed. Light generation and manipulation, just like her grandma.

Ameiko Sabuki/Goldfire: 9 appearances. The dead sister of Ryoko. I don't think she ever even showed her face in her non-powered form.

Leyu Yoshida/Sunpyre: 9 appearances. The dead little sister of Shiro Yoshida/Sunfire.

Marnie/The Rumor: 9 appearances. Spider-Man side character. Badass old lady. Figured out Peter Parker = Spiderman in like two issues.

Takeshi Matsuya/Wiz Kid: 29 appearances. He's literally so funny to me. I think he should be allowed to say fuck.

Nuwa: 2 appearances, once in an X-Force annual and once in a Tabitha Smith oneshot story. Her personality shifts wildly between those two and they never elaborate on why.

Tamara Kurtz/Dragoness: 28 appearances. Evil and loving it. Has wings, but they're technological, not part of her mutation.

Rina Patel/Timeslip: 19 appearances. No hate to whoever submitted Robbie, but she is definitely the more niche New Warrior.

Georgia Dakei/DK: 13 appearances. I like it when teenagers sass tf out of adult characters I think it is so fucking funny.

Sybil Dvorak/Skein: 44 appearances. her original villain name was a slur and i am SO glad they changed it. canon sensory issues queen. Also evil and loving it. Canonically bisexual (for evil).

Larry Bodine: 1 appearance. This is the guy from New Mutants vol. 1 who killed himself after his classmates joked about outing him. Yes this is the issue of NM with Kitty's infamous slur speech.

Rebecca Littlehale/Lighttrakker: 3 appearances. Kid from Power Pack who could teleport to light sources she could see.

Helen Takahama/Jolt: 74 appearances, which makes her the least niche character here. I need to reread Thunderbolts. In MC2 (Mayday Parker's universe), she was an Avenger.

Charlie Burlingame/Charcoal: 41 appearances. Created by a reader via a Wizard magazine contest. Legal problems means that he was never brought back when he was killed off.

if you're doing the artist ask meme, can you do 6 and 25? :)

6. Which artists inspire you right now?

While they dont influence my art directly, the art direction of Zeta Gundam is sooo good. I also have been really appreciating Kenichi Yoshida’s work as of late, as well as timeless artists such as Ryoko Kui. And a few twitter artists i wont cite bc i either forgot or the list would be too long. But i retweet them a lot

25. Based on your recent reference searches, what would the FBI assume about you?

Normal Standing Poses + hairstyles and clothes + MONSTERS isnt too far fetched………………. I dont think people would think im a FREAK!!!!

[findyourrp]

Howdy! 🫶

I am a 25F, Discord-exclusive novella writer penning in 3rd pers. looking for +21 writers interested in original M × F mafia rp, with me writing either role. That said, I will decline one-dimensional Hard vs. Soft sweethearts for end-game (along with variants of the genre) with respect to the setting I’d like to flesh out w you!

This is a request for a long-term, Hawaii, L.A., or Vegas-based Yakuza / Bōryokudan setting. We’re talking gambling, laundering, social pressure, taboos, and “They vs. Us” narratives. Consider large-scale clans versed in blackmail, bookmaking, loan sharking, trafficking of sorts; the kind within which you typically know the higher-ups from words of mouth before you eventually cross paths head-on (if you’re that unlucky).

A modicum of interest in organized crime’s modus operandi and Japanese etiquette is a given, but my aim lies less in hyperrealism than an exploratory drive. I will give more attention to character dynamics than parroting Yakuza-related terminology for the sake of it. Note that nothing compels you to playing a clan insider, but doing so will facilitate stronger, pre-established relationships. I’m also open to creating characters from scratch upon request!

Overall, this is a deliberately generic brainstorming, intended to be tweaked as we see fit.

Writing

I average 600+ words, focusing on my muses’ inner thoughts. That said, I will chew on just about anything that advances the plot.

I tend to give my muses a rough time sprinkled w fluff band-aids. I also love spicing up things w angst, 30 / 70 smut-plot ratio, high stakes, gray morality, mental swordplay, and darker themes—so minors DNI.

Preferred romantic and dynamic w benefits are M × F, but I write as / against any genre in a platonic capacity.

Will love to interact with anyone dabbling in Pinterest boards, playlists, memes sent at 3 a.m.; willing to communicate, rewrite, fade to black at will. I will not pressure you into replying, but I’d like to know about your motivation (or lack thereof).

Give me bodyguards, bitter couples, corrupt officials, die-hard gamblers, arranged marriages, forbidden relationships, family shenanigans, indebted reluctant pawns, traitors on the run, Stockholm Syndrome, underground businesses.

Should you opt for playing a clan insider, you will find below a list of preferred (but not mandatory) faces I have in mind for us to use:

F: Fukuhara Karen, Fukushi Rina, Komatsu Nana, Mannami Yuka, Mizuhara Kiko, Miyuki Edmond, Sakura Heffron, Serena Motola, Tachibana Eri, Takesue Shiori, Mizuno Sonoya, Okunugi Chiharu, Yonekura Ryoko, Yoshida Sano.

M: Hasegawa Makoto, Kenta Sakurai, Kubozuka Yōsuke, Maeda Makken’yū, Takamasa Ishihara (Miyavi), Tony Thornburg, Tsuda Kenjiro, Yamashita Tomohisa, Yamazaki Kento, Yokohama Ryūsei, Yoshizawa Ryō.

If you are interested, please react to this post and I’ll get back to you asap! 💋

La lista de manga (y webtoon, supongo) que estuve comprando/leyendo en Agosto 2024

Iba a poner fotos de lo que compré y así, pero a la mera hora... (puede que las suba al editar el post luego).

Qué compré:

Undead Unluck (Yoshifumi Tozuka), vol 15-17

Dungeon Meshi (Ryoko Kui), vol 6

A Sign of Affection (suu Morishita), vol 7

Umimachi Diary (Akimi Yoshida), vol 8-9

Mr. Villain's Day Off (Yuu Morikawa), vol 1

Frieren (Kanehito Yamada, Tsukasa Abe), vol 1

Nuestra Salvaje Juventud (Mari Okada, Nao Emoto) vol 6

Qué leí:

Umimachi Diary (Akimi Yoshida), vol. 8-9

Given (Natsuki Kizu), vol 7

Undead Unluck (Yoshifumi Tozuka), vol 15

A Sign of Affection (suu Morishita), vol. 5-6

Mr. Villain's Day Off (Yuu Morikawa), vol. 1

Nuestra Salvaje Juventud (Mari Okada, Nao Emoto) vol 6

Kamisama Kiss (Julietta Suzuki), vol 3

Hellbound (Yeon Sangho, Choi Gyuseok), vol 2

Incluyo webtoons como My Little Bookstore (Webtoon US) y Triple Nacional (Webtoon LATAM)

A destacar: El día que me aventé a leer Shibatarian (Kazuya Iwamuro), por Mangaplus. Termina la semana entrante, por cierto :) y ansío que por lo menos de este lado del charco (porque dudo que Viz se anime en EUA, hablo de Panini MX) lo pueda traer.

Notas:

Estoy muy enojada con cómo andan las cosas en Nuestra Salvaje Juventud, a como terminó el vol 6, y creo que es más porque son temas fuertes (no por nada, tiene sello de "mayores de 18 años" acá) :))) Cómo demonios eso puede alentar a que termine una amistad.

Estoy todavía preparando un artículo/post completo sobre Umimachi Diary. Es una verdadera joya de serie y me da coraje que nunca me ha tocado ver a alguien comprándolo en la tienda en la que frecuento. No muy convencida con la forma en la que Yoshida la termina (con o sin el extra que conecta a su nueva serie que dudo que la traigan). No estaría mal que Lovers' Kiss POR LO MENOS si la pudieran licenciar (con o sin vínculos "canon" con UD).

Terminé comprando Undelu por Amazon :), ahora sí, hora de empezar el L101 (y JUSTO a tiempo que Andy regresa en la historia en la serialización al día en Mangaplus, ANDY REGRESÓ ;A;).

Soy la mensa que compra el volumen 6 de Dunmeshi... y aún no se pone manos a la obra para comprar el 5 :))) (pero ya me transfirieron otro pago, así que este mes será).

Hellbound y Shibatarian son lecturas que me pusieron "incómoda" pero cada una por su propio mérito.

Shibatarian fue un poco más "ligero" porque encapsula lo similar a una película B de horror, con todo y una "secuela". Es que el autor se la baña con cómo hacer un diseño que particularmente es un chico muy promedio que se podría perder en la multitud (Hajime Shibata) y el rollo del body horror con mutaciones y demás. Es una obra curiosa, y aunque no es "cinematográfica" tal cual, no siento que sea TAN buena, tampoco, es un homenaje a ese tipo de películas... el tipo de películas que los dos Hajime tanto les encantaba y por lo que se formalizó su amistad.

Hellbound... decir que retrata como sería la sociedad si de repente un fenómeno matara indiscriminadamente a la gente por x o y razón y lo tomaran como castigo divino, queda algo corto para mí. Incomoda por muchas cosas, el rollo de que hay gente bastante zafada que lo ve como un mensaje del más allá como castigo, el rollo de que se crea una secta bajo este mantra y luego estos locos te digan "es un castigo divino porque la persona cometió un pecado" cuando ellos bien también se aprovecharon de estos incidentes para propagar su "mensaje" para tener un determinado control... ¿por qué entonces ELLOS no fueron castigados? te deja claro sobre la manipulación de cualquier tipo de poder en la punta de la pirámide para influir en su gente. La verdad, la 2da parte/temporada del webtoon aunque te explica mejor unas cosillas, no sé... la situación y lo que uno vive acá al día con día con la mentada y media del gbno federal es... alucinante (derogatorio).

Es My Little Bookstore la historia que me dejó pensando si no estaría mal abrir una tienda/librería/lo que sea que de repente expliqué en un post pasado. Me deja pensando cosas aparte de la dichosa tienda, lol.

[tkilian]
