#a super fun coincidence

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

I'm an avid otome player and Kisaki's seiyuu (Showtaro Morikubo) is in a good handful of them (Hakuoki and Diabolik Lovers for example) and he's also a singer (he's on spotify!) so I consider that many wins. He's voiced a few popular characters too like Shikamaru Nara from Naruto! (Forgive me for filling your inbox with my love for Kisaki LOL I have so much knowledge and cannot contain it)

Ohhh I didn't know he voiced that many characters, that's cool! I remember finding put about the singing thing a while ago, it's a crime he doesn't have a character song yet!

She hears him calling her name as she flees down the spiral staircase, almost tripping over her feet in her rush to get away from him, but he catches up quickly, reaching out to grab her arm in an attempt to slow her down. She stops running immediately - she supposes her traitorous body wants to see what he has to say, or maybe it just wants to bask in his intoxicating proximity. He crowds her space, and she sees that unfamiliar look in his eyes again. So very different from the cold disdain she had seen the last time she had been this close to him, during the argument that had ended their friendship.

Oh, Merlin, he's getting closer to her, and she can now clearly see the freckles dusting his cheeks and nose and forehead and then before she knows it, his hand is sliding up her arm, leaving goosebumps everywhere he touches and then he's caressing her jaw with his rough thumb and he pauses. Her eyelids flutter closed as her head tilts towards him - she couldn't stop herself even if she wanted to (what does she want?). She can feel his warm breath ghosting over her lips and she has the improbable, ridiculous thought - how is he remembering to breathe? - before he speaks. His lips brush against hers with every soft word and a deep shiver runs through her body.

"I," she hears him say, his voice so, so low, "haven't been able to think since last week."

That's all she needs to hear, the brush of his bottom lip against hers all she needs to feel, to push her into closing what minuscule distance there is between them and then his lips are on hers and it's better than anything she's been imagining. His mouth is soft against hers, insistent, and her hands go up to grip the collar of his plaid jacket to make sure he doesn't go away or disappear on her.

Its all the Touhou "Dragons" time to shine

Its the Year Of The Dragon and the Touhou Dragon fanart has already started. It's really exciting to think the Dragon related Touhou girls are gonna get some more fan art this year and time to shine. Here's some pics of this year's star lineup.

Sannyo Komakusa, Dragon fangirl who decorates with Dragons any way she can. (Boss Theme: Smoking Dragon)

Megumu Iizunamaru, Whose name can be read as Dragon, making her getting eaten by dragon eater Momoyo a running joke

Hong Meiling, who's hat says dragon.

Iku Nagae, Oarfish messenger of the Dragon Palace.

Kasen Ibaraki, Has a pet Dragon.

And the biggest star, Touhou's more or less genuine Dragon:

Yachie Kicchou, Matriarch of the Kiketsu Family , species: Jidiao. Part Tortoise, Part Dragon.

And lastly as a bonus. their natural predator, (though not really, its just cute):

Momoyo Himemushi, species: Oomukade, and eater of dragons.

I saw this video on Twitter yesterday and thought I'd share, because it has something really cool about Boothill that I had never noticed before: how he handles the recoil of his pistol!

The video isn't in English, but you can get the gist of it pretty well just by watching. There are three characters so far who use guns- Bronya, Topaz, and Boothill. Bronya and Topaz, both normal humans, will get knocked backwards by the recoil. It's not by very much, but it becomes pretty noticeable when you mash the basic attack button in the overworld map. It's enough to move them over the line on the floor in the video.

Boothill on the other hand- you can see him jolt from the recoil, but he isn't actually knocked back at all! The transcript of the video mentions this being due to his cyborg body and having a better center of gravity, which is really cool! I love seeing more concrete evidence of what he gained with the loss of his human body, and how it helps him in combat and his Hunt for revenge. It kinda makes you understand more why he went through with it, and why he considers it worth the heavy price he paid.

Now what if Tôshirô had brown eyes and brown hair before he died in the human world?

I can’t believe the one thing that finally pushed me to make fanart of the monkey show is. This.

Yeah I agree, I don’t think trading any big players is smart. They are a good team, especially in the regular season. They are just missing something in playoffs. It sucks they haven’t found the answer, but I’m sure they will 😃

i mostly think the leafs org problem is that they buy into the whole 'grit is the most important' factor in the playoffs.. and for two years now, they've been extra gritty.. out hit opponents.. and still fallen short where it counts. i think something about the style of play just doesn't match the actual assets we have in our highly skilled offensive players, and i think it doesn't help that we have a lot of dmen who can't skate well or move pucks and create offense to save their lives. like yes, not getting pushed around is important and space disappears in the playoffs, but sometimes those are problems you can outskate? if you lean into the rush game... getting faster.... idk. panthers series last year and now this one are just proof that we need more goal scoring than anything else under the current approach. to me, it's not that someone like mitch just 'disappears,' it's that the way this team is being taught to handle the game isn't letting him thrive. we've only seen 2 coaches with all this talent so far, so i'd be curious to see a fresh look, but i don't by any means hate sheldon or think he's done a bad job. something about it just hasnt translated to the playoffs, and it's tough to see glimpses of fun hockey that we see more often in the regular season under the mess of tight and gritty playoff games. i don't buy that it HAS to be that way... i watch teams like the oilers and stars and vegas and like. they're fast and efficient and opportunistic, lol. better than us but we HAVE the talent to be like that.

a weird coincidence i keep turning around in my head, as follows:

the common full-name for iggy in fanon is ignatius, probably stemming from the 1993 movie. it's a latin name, the meaning of which is "fiery one" or "ardent".

latin, coincidentally, is the language of the roman empire. the same people who made the original coliseum.

remember where iggy's color splash boss fight takes place?

Shinazugawa head family! (whos still alive at least, minus Kyogo)

I dont have anything like. history/folklore/origin myth for them yet but present-time the Shinazugawa clan is generally known as barbaric and merciless in their endeavors and lifestyle. They train children from the moment they learn to walk and expected to give their life to help the clan, Kyogo as clan head (was) the latest link in the long line of war-mongers who thought that more land = better and used the clan as fodder to get more riches & reputation.

Said reputation was not improved by the clan's kekkei genkai, an ability to consume chakra and absorb it for their own use. the 'consumtion' is infamously mistaken as just plain cannibalism, because the most common method of getting another's chakra is from the source. Users who have the kekkei genkai have englarged fangs, slit pupils, and when the ability is activated, dark sclera. Those who carry the gene for it (even if they dont have it) have sharper canines and their pupils can stretch to slits.

the Kochos were in some deep shit with a lightning-natured clan & agreed to a marriage alliance in turn for protection, thus Shizu got stuck with him. It was almost good at first because Kyogo thought he could trust her with his back, but he decided she was too weak to do that and she turned into a glorified paper pusher.

Shizu was still a hard worker and did her damn best to make life even a little bit easier for those she saw, and when she had children she tried to shield them from the horrors the best she could. when she couldn't she'd at least be there to comfort them.

Teiko was the first child to die- she was being trained by Shizu as a medic since Kocho are well versed in iryo-jutsu, but Kyogo had her sent with a patrol group in one of the more contested areas and she was killed in the fight.

Koto was second- he was brought to a border battle and was subsequently killed in action.

Shuya was last- he was sent on a mission with Sanemi and a few other clansmen, it went south very fast and Sanemi couldn't save him.

---

When Sanemi got home after that to give a mission report, Kyogo completely waved it off as the usual casualties and was generally disrespectful and dismissive about it. Sanemi finally snapped. He started laughing & Kyogo told Shizu to get her kid under control, but she was still in shock processing that another of her children were killed. When he slapped her Sanemi went into a fit of rage and enhanced his muscles with chakra and sent his fist right through his chest.

After all that chaos was processed and settled out, Sanemi was then the new clan head. He his mother and a few trusted advisors set about fixing a lot of shit wrong with the clan and set about improving relations with the surrounding clans.

Kumeno were wary about the sudden change in authority but weren't adverse to Sanemi being head, Kocho were very glad that 1 they were still allied even tho Kyogo's dead 2 they still get protection & 3 that they're trying to change the deeply violent & toxic culture within the clan

Blight / Blur : Gym Guides

In Gen 5 canon, there's only one gym guide throughout each of the gyms, named Clyde, who gives you a bottle of Fresh Water upon entering/upon interacting with him.

In Blur/Blight, however, Clyde is specifically the gym guide in Burgh's gym. In BW, he was the guide for Burgh's gym as he had a taste for his art- in BW2, however, he becomes the gym guide for Cheren's gym!

There are different gym guides for each gym leader, and they have their own partner Pokemon;

Striaton - Waitress Tia (Patrat)

Nacrene - Scientist Satomi (Herdier)

Castelia - Gentleman Clyde (Deerling) / Harlequin Jack (Swadloon)

Nimbasa - Lady Colette (Flaafy)

Driftveil - Clerk Katie (Drilbur)

Mistralton - Pilot Chase (Unfezant)

Icirrus - Black Belt Thomas (Cubchoo)

Opelucid - Veteran Kim (Fraxure) / Veteran Ron (Fraxure)

Aspertia - Gentleman Clyde (Sawsbuck)

Virbank - Guitarist Billy Jo (Koffing)

Humilau - Ace Trainer Santino (Walrein)

Clyde's trainer class is a Gentleman, he's just dressed differently!

All the other gym guides in Blur/Blight are existing NPCs in the games! Some of them are npcs in only one of the games, while some are npcs in both, but unless specified, they're the gym guides in both BW and BW2! (Harlequin Jack and Pilot Chase are in both BW/BW2 for example, but Clerk Katie is only in BW!)

what are your future projects? 👀 i love your writing and i'm super excited already

ooh ooh ooh i'm so glad you asked, have a little snippet

“Let me guess,” he heard a sarcastic voice say as soon as he opened his office door, and he barely threw Marlene a glance before throwing himself down into the flimsy office chair that wasn’t made for someone of his size. He’d been meaning to upgrade for two years now. “But Professor Lupin says …”

“For fuck’s sake,” Sirius groaned heavily, practically a shout, as he rolled his head back over the headrest, which only came up to his shoulders, despite all the adjusting he’d tried to do. “If I hear Lupin’s name one more time this term, I think I might stab someone in the face. And you’d be the closest.”
