Giraffe Girumble - Round 3A

Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)

Kaku propaganda:

He's a black ops government assassin who can transform into a giraffe or a human-giraffe hybrid that is really angular for some reason. He fights using two swords and wind blades shot from his feet, but giraffes have four feet, so he can shoot wind blades from all four limbs. He can also become a cube. And suck in his neck to fire his head forward like a cannon, his nose like a square-shaped cannonball. Or suck in his neck to make his legs longer, like a pasta machine.

A professional assassin and government agent, ate the fruit that gave him the ability to turn into a giraffe. Due to Kaku's personal anatomical peculiarity, he turns into a square giraffe (technically, a parallelepiped) a good swordsman who quickly learned to use the giraffe form for his fighting style. However, because he only became a giraffe a few hours ago, he is still not very good at it, which makes him miss funny. in his next appearance, he is a complete professional at transformations. AND AFTER HIS TEAM LOST TO THE MAIN CHARACTER'S TEAM, HE AND HIS PARTNERS WORKED AT A TRAMPOLINE RIDE AND HE RODE CHILDREN ON HIS NECK TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE BOSS'S TREATMENT.

Kaku turns into a giraffe-human by being ordered to eat a devil fruit by his boss, and the first thing this man does is hop on the giraffe propaganda train, no hesitation. His collegues are wolfs and leopards. Does Kaku mope about being a giraffe? No! He literally holds a whole speech explaining why giraffes are both dope, cool and the most lethal animal on the savanna. Then proceeds to unleash the limitless destructive power of the giraffe. Kaku is the no. 1 giraffe character, hands down, no competition, I will die on this hill, give me 1000 dollars.

Miyoshi Kazunari propaganda:

I don’t know how to explain this in a cohesive way that doesn’t sound like I’m insane but this silly little actor visual novel has a canon furry event. All of the characters have canon fursonas. Okay, let me explain. Every year, the April fool’s event involves an AU, just for fun. Other years have included a host club, magic school, time travel, a fighting game, etc. This one was an AU where all the characters were animals, and it was by far the most extensive, given that it had its own full-blown event as opposed to a single card and side story like in the past. I couldn’t tell you if Kazunari counts given the submission rules and A3!’s circumstances, but it would be cool if he got in as A3! is generally a smaller franchise.

The Ink Demonth 2024 - Day 31. The End

I DID IT!

No, this year there will be no text about me being a free elf - because this year's Ink Demonth was light and pleasant for me to do. No stress, no pression (except that I wanted made every picture in its event day). But, unfortunately, it was still quite time-consuming - so despite my best intentions, I will not be able to give you this month's SATIM strip (by the way - I'm sorry that for now the frequency of publishing strips is monthly… But it's still better than unspecified, sometimes half-yearly intervals, right?)

The second reason why I didn't manage to get it done today is that my beloved Ursa IS GOING TO SCHOOL this year - and today we went shopping for the last time before September (and we still didn't find a pad of coloured technical paper in A3 format :/)

Anyway, the strip will be released soon, it's in quite an advanced stage - and I can tell you that it will be in two parts, so maybe both parts will be released in short intervals from each other.

So SATIM fans may complain a bit that there is no strip this month - but on the occasion of Ink Demonth I gave you so many spoilers and tidbits from SATIM that I think I compensated you enough for this lack ;)

As for my sona... The appearance is more or less the same as I have now. I need to cut my hair - especially shave the sides of my head and legs. If it weren't for this damn heat, the picture would have appeared earlier, and then I would have drawn myself in my awesome Iron Maiden T-shirt that I was wearing in the mall.

By the way, I originally had a different idea for this picture, but I didn't have enough time (it would require a bit more work and for the picture of drawn picture to be taken by someone other than me). So I came up with this two days ago. But even though I had this idea earlier, my husband said yesterday or today something similiar to Sammy. It's creepy when your husband become similiar to your own fictional character XD

[natsu-tte-noodle]

So I don’t often barge in talking about ships on this blog—honestly I’ve been pretty stern about not doing that, though I couldn’t really explain why if you asked—but today’s a special day, so I figured it’s about time I get on board!

So, here’s my top 5 A3! ships! Under the cut for length purposes and for some spoilers for Trump the Phantom Thief. For each, I also tried to explain a bit of why they’ve anchored themselves as favorites for me :)

5. The Royal Star Cruise

You might not remember this ship—it’s the luxury cruise liner where the heist in Trump the Phantom Thief takes place! To be fair, it’s definitely my love for this play that boosted this one into the top five, though, since we don’t  have much information about the ship itself at all. The hallways look nice, though!

4. The little ship they ride to Misoshiosa Island

This ship is barely a ship, but I’ve gotta put it on the list for two reasons. One, Misoshiosa is one of my favorite events in all of A3. Two, I couldn’t have EVERY ship on this list be a big one, right? Smaller, lesser-known ships deserve some recognition too.

3. Princess Aurora

Princess Aurora gets some automatic bonus points for appearing in more than one story! The Summer and Autumn Troupes perform Trump the Phantom Thief on it, and then they return to it in the A Scenic View to Give You Someday event!  It has a really different feel from the Queen Camellia, too; they really went off with the design of this one.  I feel like I’d put it even higher, but I’m not sure if I’d want to be on a ship that had a literal gem heist on it.

2. The Queen Camellia

Do I personally like the Princess Aurora better? Yeah. But honestly, the Queen Camellia is such an iconic ship in A3.  When you hear “A3 ship,” the Queen Camellia is definitely one of the first to come to mind. I think it’s the only named ship we got in A3EN, after all, and it’s the event that had the sailor-themed cards.  Its gold detailing makes it look even fancier than the Princess Aurora too, and that POOL? I would kill (and then be arrested by Sakuya) to hang out at that pool.

1. Captain Sky’s Pirate Ship

Of course I have to give the number 1 spot to a ship as iconic as this one. The whole play takes place on it! They’re PIRATES! Of course the pirate ship is going to leave an impression! The ships used by the royal navy look similar to frigates, but Sky’s ship is described as shabby, so it’s possible that it’s a smaller ship instead.  If only the English graphics didn’t break so I could tell… :pensive: Anyway, top tier ship even if they do kill it off at the end T_T

Did you spot all the puns in the intro? :3c

A3! Troupe Event: MY WORST WEDDING | Event Story Translation (4/11)

Neither Japanese nor English is my first language so please forgive me if I made mistake. However, feel free to point me out, I’d love to hear your feedbacks on the translation ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

Translation under the cut

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Azami: Fuah~...

Kumon: Did you not sleep well?

Azami: I had a bit trouble falling asleep. I couldn’t tell Sakyo not to stay up late working on his stuff.

Kumon: Come to think of it, Sakyo-san’s sister came to our dorm yesterday right~. Did something happen?

Azami: Seems like she came to consult about Sakyo’s mother.

Kumon: Heh~. Sakyo-san’s mother is such a kind person, isn’t she!

Azami: You know her?

Kumon: She is nii-chan’s fan and she’s been supporting him all the time!

Azami: Ah–, is that so.

Kumon: I think she’ll come to Autumn Troupe’s next performance.

Azami: Now that you mention it, I’ve been thinking a lot ‘bout Juza-san’s hair makeup this time…

Kumon: Ah–! Wait! No spoilers here!

Azami: Hah?

Kumon: He’s a former soldier this time, so it’ll def be really cool... 

I want to know, but I want to challenge myself without knowing anything until the performance starts…!

Azami: That’s impossible. We’re in the same dorm after all.

Kumon: Still no spoilers anyhow!

Azami: Well, I haven’t decided on Juza-san's hair makeup yet. Only Taichi-san’s role Olivia has costume coordination today.

Kumon: Ah, Taichi-san’s role is the woman who deceives the grooms right? I’m really looking forward to it!

*Shifts to practice room*

Izumi: Taichi-kun, it looks good on you! The impression has drastically changed.

Taichi: Heheh, I’ve turned into a perfect beautiful woman!

Yuki: It’s not that bad, is it.

Banri: Heh~, Olivia’s hair is purple, huh.

Azami: I’ve thought about it a lot, but this will suit the scene when she appears in the story. 

The makeup also matches the color of the wig though, this looks fine. 

Then, I’ll remove the makeup after the photoshoot, so Banri-san, please try doing it this time.

Banri: Roger that.

*Short timeskip*

Azami: Make the line a bit thicker here–– About this much.

Banri: …It’s done.

Azami: As expected of Banri-san, your sense is good. 

Taichi: Oh~, it’s exactly the same as before!

Banri: When I actually tried Azami’s makeup, I can see that you think a lot about various things in detail. That’s awesome. 

Azami: Obviously.

Banri: Well, but I only did the makeup just like the sample photo, so once I get used to it, I think I’ll be able to speed up even faster right before actual performance.

Yuki: And the rest are the costumes that go well with this hair makeup but— I bring lots of outfits for you guys to base on.

Izumi: This time main focus is the hair makeup, so the costumes will be later.

Yuki: First of all, this and this, try adjusting the sweatsuit lightly. 

Taichi: ——How is it!?

Yuki: Your legs are so masculine!

Izumi: Zero’s costume was the one with the legs out right.

Yuki: Zero’s lively personality matched with the vibe Taichi’s legs give off, but the image this time is a bit different. 

If they are put out as usual, it’ll definitely look manlike. The makeup will be mismatched and out of place.

Taichi: I’ll lose my muscles before the performance~.

Banri: Building muscles might be within your reach, but isn’t it impossible to lose them?

Taichi: Uh, maybe if I try not to use them as much as possible…? 

Azami: You might not be able to move your body when you’re Noah.

Taichi: Ah~ That’s right!

Yuki: I’m not even asking for you to do something in particular. Just don’t gain any more muscles.

Since I’ll style the costumes according to Taichi’s body shape to match the hair makeup. Tighten his waist with a corset for example… 

I think it might work if we cover his broad shoulders with a jacket, and show his skin with knee-high boots.

Izumi: That sounds great!

Taichi: As expected of Yuki-chan!

Yuki: Even if you only show the very least of your skin, I think the key here is that you can create a sexy look of the wicked woman. 

Banri: I see… So there are various ways.

Azami: It’s also the same with different skin qualities though, it’s difficult to match because there are differences between men and women’s body shapes.

Yuki: It’s worth thinking about how to style the costumes for each roles considering actors’ body type anyway, I’m even more fired up. 

Izumi: That’s the best part of being a costume designer, right.

Yuki: Taichi too, if you perform on stage in the costumes that are fit into your body, you’ll be able to act with confidence, won’t you.

Taichi: Yuki-chan!!

Banri: Our costume designer is really reliable.

Azami: (You’ll be more confident if wearing outfits that look good on you…)

Izumi: Well then, I’m looking forward to the costumes too.

Yuki: Leave it to me.

Azami: …Yuki-san, there’s something I’d like to talk to you about.

Yuki: ?

OMFSHFSDHIIIII HE'S SMILING?!! WHAT?!!

[moon-swag-tourney]

please tell me about your blorbos/myshows i have questions

these are all the series/characters i want to hear more about,,, don't fret if your blorbo isn't on here, some of them i just don't want spoilers for, and others are from things I'm already a fan of!

this is. kind of long bc im curious about a lot of things. but if you spot your guy in here feel free to send me an ask or respond to this!! also this is just in alphabetical order lmao

The main things I'm looking for are:

About the character

The premise of the series theyre in

Please assume this has spoilers, btw!

Aruru Otsuki - Revue Starlight

tbh I don't understand what kind of franchise revue starlight is so that's my first question. But I also see that a lot of people love her and i wanna know what's up with that!! i heard a lot about her experiencing potential found family trauma and that's always interesting to see

Bayonetta

this is kind of a weird one bc tbh bayonetta is rlly popular as is, and it's something i've been wanting to get into for awhile, so my main question is: is it inappropriate for minors or could i watch it and if so what's the best order/sequence to watch the games in??

Cure Moonlight / Yuri Tsukikaga - Heartcatch Precure

tbh im just gay on this one. but I saw a lot of love for her even when she had zero propaganda so i wanna know what makes her so beloved by the precure fans?? and tbh if the precure she's in isn't too long i'll probably watch it

Hisoka Mikage - A3!

I'm gonna let you guys on a secret. this dude is the reason I wanted to make this. he only had one submission but on top of being a long one the amnesia storyline just appeals so deeply to me please tell me how I can absorb info about him and/or watch canon events of him oh my god

Judith - Tales of Vesperia

i think i mentioned it in the ask about her but she's seem interesting!! and im always down for some sapphic storylines!! a lot of it is just that ive heard the tales of vesperia name but never really knew what it was, but off of the descriptions i do have i could enjoy it and wanna hear what exactly it's about?

Moonlight Cookie - Cookie Run

i've. tried to get into cookie run before. but i just couldn't bring myself to care. so i guess my question is can you guys please tell me about how she's a lesbian, as someone who has zero bias whatsoever (lying i am a lesbian) and also just what appeals to you about the story so i can maybe give it a second shot?

Sigma Klim - Zero Escape

listen im all for mastermind plots, even if I know the plottwist going into it. ive seen fanart of 999 from an artist i've admired for awhile and it looks like it could be interesting but i don't know what the series is about so please tell me if you don't mind,,

Sirius Gibson - Witch's Heart

im a sucker for games with different endings, and also a sucker for small indie games that have a lot of passion put into them. i'm not actually sure if that's what this, but that's what i assume it is, and it looks interesting enough to give a chance either way? but i don't

Ursula Callistis / Shining Chariot - Little Witch Academia

so uh. fun fact. one of my siblings actually tried to get me into little witch academia once! and then we never continued bc i guessed the plot twist of the teacher being shining chariot, but that was very early on before i'd really gotten attached to anyone. what im trying to say is if you can pitch the writing and/or characters of this that would be epic sldkjf

Vanitas of the Blue Moon - Vanitas no Carte

i honestly can't remember what appealed to me about em off the top of my head, but it mightve been that one post with the gifs going a bit more into the lore of the story? as of now im just a sucker for the aesthetic but i wanna hear more about the premise to see if its my kind of story sdljf

Yue / Yukito Tsukishiro - Card Captor Sakura

i actually have friends who are fans of ccs! well. friends of friends im not super close to but it still counts! i wanna hear more about them bc tbh i both think he could be interesting and im sure said friends would appreciate it :'D i also just don't know a lot about ccs premise though, if you'd like to offer that instead!

A3! Event Story | A Year of Romance with You - Chapter 1 

(Contains very minor spoilers for A3! Act 12)

Sakuya: Hm-hm~♪

Citron: Oh! Sakuya, what has gotten you in such a good mood? 

Sakuya: Ah-! Citron, I didn’t realize you were in here! 

Citron: You are so smiley, Sakuya! Very shiny!

Sakuya: Really? 

Citron: Yes! More smiley than usual! What is going on?

Sakuya: Nothing, really. It’s not like we’re doing anything special, but Lu and I are celebrating our first anniversary soon! It’s not much, but it’s exciting to think about.

Citron: A whole year! You must do something to celebrate, yes?

Sakuya: Well, Lu said she had a small plan, and I’d like to try and sleep on stage together again. We don’t have to do a lot, really, I’m happy just being with her for that day!

Citron: No, no! It is a special event, you must do more!

Sakuya: I don’t know, I think just being together is enough…

Citron: That is not true! Sakuya, I will have to inter-spear with your plan!

Sakuya: Citron, wait!

Citron: You must hear what Sakuya has said! He does not want to do anything with his beautiful partner for their anniversary!

Itaru: And? Sounds about right. 

Chikage: It’s not something to call a meeting over, that’s typical Sakuya. 

Tsuzuru: I’m sure he’d be happier if you didn’t pull anything, too. 

Masumi: Yeah, they’re like that. 

Citron: No, no! They deserve a for filling experience!

Itaru: A fulfilling experience, sure, but it’s not like we can just send them overseas or something.

Chikage: …That’s not a bad idea, actually.

Tsuzuru: Don’t tell me you’re actually considering it?!

Chikage: It’s not impossible, I’d just have to find a few loopholes.

Itaru: Still, that’s pricey as hell…

Chikage: Alright, then we’ll keep them in the country?

Tsuzuru: You’re serious about this plan, huh…?

Citron: He must be! It will be the best anniversary gift ever!

Tsuzuru: I can’t be the only one thinking this is crazy, right?

Masumi: It’d be funny. 

Tsuzuru: Would it? Would it really?

Itaru: I mean, kinda. 

Chikage: Jokes aside, do you all have any ideas as to where they’d want to go?

Citron: Oh! I know of one!

Citron: Lucille did not get to see Sakuya’s childhood home, correct? She should get to see it!

Tsuzuru: Wouldn’t that be kinda insensitive if they both didn’t know about it?

Chikage: True, but it feels right to let him introduce her to his parents.

Itaru: He has a point, it’d be nice and sentimental for them. Pretty cheesy, too, just the way they like it. 

Citron: That is exact! 

Tsuzuru: Sure, why not, let’s just randomly send them to Hokkaido without their knowledge nor permission, this is fine and normal. 

Citron: That is the spirit! 

Chikage: Well, we’d have to drop the plan on at least one of them first, right?

Itaru: True. 

Chikage: Then, let’s get started.

Giraffe Girumble - Round 2 - B

Propganda below (May contain spoilers!)

Miyoshi Kazunari propaganda:

I don’t know how to explain this in a cohesive way that doesn’t sound like I’m insane but this silly little actor visual novel has a canon furry event. All of the characters have canon fursonas.

Is the best. Great and squeaky and silly and beautiful.

She's silly! And also a robot giraffe. And she plays piano sometime! Multitalented!

[starswallowingsea]

For the ask game, uhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm hm. HiMERU

ask game

My first impression

haha rinne's acting real gay with this guy i wonder what their deal is (re: mainstory interactions where himeru says the whole convo was a waste of breath and rinne says what you want me to kiss you to give you that air back?)

My impression now

eternal torment nexus for this one. he's everything to me and i want him to be happy but to be happy is first to suffer and be totally bare to your friends and let them into your life. at least tatsumi pretends to do that.

Favorite thing about that character

i think the way we still know almost nothing about oremeru as a person. odd thing to say about a character but we know his motivations for taking over for his brother and can theorize about some aspects of his "true" self but in reality he's still such a mystery and i want to know more about him. i have high hopes for the new event.

Least favorite thing

uhm. nothing because i think his flaws are also funny as fuck

Favorite line/scene

any time he talks about kaname in his head, wondering what kaname would think and how he's holding a space for kaname. just because the world doesn't remember you doesn't mean that i don't. i'm sorry i couldn't tell you i love you soon enough.

Favorite interaction that character has with another

PASTEL B BROTHERS i'm so excited they canonized an in universe name for him and kohaku. they're so cute together and ohhhh kohaku being not a kaname replacement but oremeru being more emotionally aware of what teenagers want/need out of the adults in their lives and trying to do his best but not wanting to give up his act. the way kohaku said that himeru will softly smile as he helps kohaku with stuff in the main story when they think crazyb is going to be disbanded and how they're all family despite only knowing each other for a short time.

A character that I wish that character would interact with more

another madara answer but partially bc i wonder what he really thinks about double face's activities when they were active. we saw niki's perspective on that but given himeru's past. i do wonder how he would treat madara knowing the full extent of those activities.

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character

going to just leave this here. contextless 18trip spoilers.

A headcanon about that character

himeru was in his college's drama club to learn more about acting outside of what the priest taught him for impersonation. he was never quite cut out for the lead but uhm. you haven't seen a3 but i think he'd take on roles similar to what homare does.

A song that reminds of that character

i left you a note by chad lawson it was the season 2 theme for unobscured and it's just instrumentals but it fits him i think. at least the more melancholic aspects of him.

An unpopular opinion about that character

this is more about crazyb in general but the fact that there are still people who think all of them need to be "saved" from rinne is insane. all of them have the ability to just fucking leave. himeru had a solo career before this he can find a new unit if he really wanted to. they're there because they want to be. if you like all of a unit but one member and think they suck then you do not understand that unit's dynamics sorry everyone is in their current units for a reason.

Favorite picture

would it be too cheap to say his newest event card unbloomed. the trip album framed in the background. kaname's hand. what would you do in this situation.

also going to include his card from the souma ts2 scout he looks so nice. and and his unbloomed from the last globalstars campaign

he looks nice in sunsets he should have more sunset cards
