#art is from teppen!

I just realized Ark Thompson might be someone no one’s heard of as he’s only in one RE game (Survivor) and that’s on PS1 🫣 so some quick info:

“Ark Thompson was a detective sent to Sheena Island at the request of his friend and client Leon Kennedy, to collect evidence of Umbrella's "shady doings."

Life's been getting me down lately and I needed some motivation to keep going.

So I made this lil' thing--and I love it. |Mods used in the photos: Devil Hunter Vergil--I love this mod so much Coatless Vergil Black Nail Polish Vergil Coatless DMC 4 Dante (he's a lil blurry though lmao) Oh also I figured out how to add a "keep reading" thingy lmfao

EDIT 5/23/2023: Fixed the two pics. around the "I" in "It" so it is easier to read.

Currently working on creating a document cataloguing all the artwork from Teppen, Capcom's card game, as well as a folder library for browsing all artworks. the wiki hasnt been updated in a year so i'm doin it myself. I don't really intend for this to replace the wiki, but rather serve as a useful little document people can refer to if the game is unavailable in their country, or if they just want to see everything in one place. This game has a lot of nice art and it's worthy of appreciation and preservation! such a shame that capcom won't release it themselves. Especially when the game is available in so few regions.

So much good Yuri this season we’re feasting. Such a cute and hilarious premiere. We have the cutest MC of the season wrapped up already. Umika is absolutely adorable and makes this the sweetest watch of the season too.

Entire episode feels like a nonstop sugar rush. Just pure and unadulterated wholesome entertainment. I love the telepathy gimmick that Yuu uses. It’s such an intimate and intense way of communicating and removing all barriers between Umika and Yuu

The art is beyond beautiful, the designs are stellar(pun intended) and there’s just an overwhelming feeling of joy that I got from these first 23 minutes. I love getting 4koma adaptations. There’s just a certain level of energy and dynamism they bring and this didn’t let me down at all.

The theme of both girls being aliens and not truly fitting in on earth also makes things really interesting. Of course, you can view that as an analogy for loners and outsiders in general who just don’t feel like they belong as well.

Reminds me of a mix between koisuru asteroid and Teppen. I’m looking forward to seeing this one play out. It will definitely be comfy watch of the season.

Higurashi When They Cry Hou Ch. 8 Matsuribayashi pt. 39

I’d say that this contains probably the most important fragment related to the overall larger mysteries of the entire series.

Death of Satoshi’s aunt

But not Satoko’s, only Satoshi’s.

You know, come to think of it, why did the sister of their stepfather adopt them, instead of trying to ship them back to their birth father? I doubt it’s important at all, and hell you could very easily head-canon it that the government probably did try to reunite Satoko and Satoshi with their birth father, but it’s just why did Teppen and Tamae adopt these two? Was it the hidden bank account Tenpin was obsessed with in Minagoroshi? Is that why he did it? I don’t know, it’s just a bit of a head scratcher.

So I suppose it’s fair to assume that “the drug addict who killed Tamae Houjou” is something the Mountain Dogs used to get the case hushed up. Much like the deaths of the original Houjou couple, and the Furudes. It’s curious how much power, and foresight they possess in maintaining the secrecy of the Irie Institute. They have apparently an entire secret room of dead bodies to deploy as Miyo Takano at a moment’s notice, but now they also have another secret room of random druggies to pin for murders? Or do you think they were just cruising along Okinomiya, found a guy who was suitably drugged out of his gourd and were like “hey buddy, why’d you kill her?” And then just flung him at the police?

This is a random theory, do you suppose the drug addict was secretly one of the test subjects for H173? Only instead of killing himself like Tomitake did he just became fundamentally paralyzed and that’s why he gave himself up to the police?

Something I find funny about Ooishi’s single-minded determination that the Sonozakis are behind it all is the idea that he seems to think the arm still has flesh and so on. Even if it wasn’t thrown away somewhere you know by now it would be a skeletal arm. Which makes me wonder, do you think the Irie Institute has a crematorium? You think the people of Hinamizawa saw them build this institute with a chimney and were like “well that’s odd?” Cause it seems to me that with their dissections they probably don’t just have a massive corpse pit in the basement.

Part of me wonders if the series would have been as well regarded as I think it is had it been written purely from the perspective of Ooishi. If it were just a more straightforward narrative with Ooishi conducting the investigation, and if the gaming club were pushed back into a more secondary role, do you think it would’ve done as well? This is honestly part of the reason I’m so keen to read the console arcs since a lot of it is an outside group investigating the mysteries of Hinamizawa. Of course (at time of writing) I’ve read maybe half an hour or so of Someutsushi, so I may be incredibly wrong about those.

The fourth sacrifice

We are rapidly coming upon June 1983 for the final time. Technically speaking.

I know that each chapter is its own self-contained fragment of reality, but part of me wonders if when Satoshi went missing in Meakashi (potential posting of my wonderfully creative Satoshi is Missing art) if he went to the same toy store then as now. I know that Shion in that chapter mentions that they specifically went to this toy store owned by an elderly couple where the man had dementia. For a second I wondered if the store in Meakashi was the one the Sonozakis owned, but looking over the screenshots I have to Meakashi it is indeed someone else's toy store. So with the news that this is the same toy store as the one the pair of them visited in Meakashi I can’t help but wonder if there’s some small part of the previous chapters that occur in this more idealized timeline leading up to the final third of Matsuribayashi. I doubt that the scene where Shion beats the shit out of Satoko happened in this version of events, but I wonder if the pair of them visiting the toy store together occurred? Because while it doesn’t explicitly say so, I am fairly convinced that elements from these fragments do happen across the entire series.

To get slightly back on track, about how far apart are Hinamizawa and Okinomiya do you think? Clearly they’re close enough that the kids can just go biking from here to there in an hour or so, but it’s also far enough apart that you can have a big budget action car chase and gunfight, and neither town is aware it’s happening on the road between. Also I feel it’s worth pointing out with Irie mentioning how odd and out of sorts Satoshi’s acting he was acting very similarly when he asked Shion to keep an eye on Satoko the night before Watanagashi 1982. So just another piece of evidence that some elements do happen across the fragments.

Had a bit of a mean spirited chuckle here, because of my newfound conspiracy theory(?) about whether plot points happen across the fragments. In the fragments where Teppei comes back does Irie just remember this little bit of the conversation with Satoshi and go “oh god damn it, son of a bitch!”

Well I must say this takes the wind out of my “I think Satoshi didn’t kill his aunt” theory somewhat. You know what? Now that I think about it, Minagoroshi features a prolonged section of Rika trying to convince the others to not kill Teppen in an effort to save Satoko. I wonder if there was anything ever considered about Rika trying to stop Satoshi from killing his and Satoko’s aunt? Or if it can be handwaved away with the idea that this has to happen in order to make Satoko become brave enough to fight against the fate of living with T-Pain, should that fragment come around again? Or do you suppose it’s just one of those “background” fragments where she tried multiple times, but with the weakening of Hanyuu’s powers it became an impossibility to travel back that far?

While I can’t help but feel that the idea that this is the curse of Oyashiro can be laid squarely at Rena’s feet I do wonder if Takano has been seeding ideas that the curse exists around the village herself? It makes sense right? Since she wants people to view the Hinamizawa Syndrome parasite to be an embodiment of the curse of Oyashiro she would have to have put it out into the ether that such a thing exists. Unless somehow the older generation is able to pick up the slack and just unintentionally spread the idea of the curse themselves. Also I wonder if Takano looked at this fresh new L5 test subject and was licking her lips just staring at his now comatose form, thinking “oh boy, oh boy!”?

Updated to be slightly more relevant.

It’s worth mentioning at this point that shortly after Shion begins her quest for revenge for the disappearance of Satoshi she does briefly consider Irie as being responsible for some of the killings. So I think it’s kind of interesting how that particular flavor of paranoia is now at this point in time being paid off, and shown to be partially correct.

[omorinintendoswitchedition]

2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 (My question is just say something about them you want to say)

For whichever character/characters your want

woweee this is gonna be a looooong post

2-Favourite thing about this character

Doing this for Dante. The Dr Faust cutscene, or to be more broad I love his silly attitude and his stupid jokes. Made this series iconic and funny and gives him a personality.

3-Least favourite thing about this character

For Dante this would probably be the ‘if you were 18 i would date you’ joke from the first episode of the anime. This really rubbed me the wrong way and its kinda weird to say that to a kid you just met???and ooc for him???

7-Whats something the fandom does when it comes to this character you like?

Actually give the girl characters time to shine instead of just making them sexy eye candy. And the silly family dynamics between the Sparda boys.

8-Whats something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

the fucking Vergil dodges child support and is a ‘sigma based alpha male’ homophobe. i hate it so muchhh even though the meme is dead it still annoys me so much when i see people still think its funny.

9-Could you be roommates with this character?

I probably could be roomies with people like Dante and Nero and Kyrie. Id probably get a little annoyed at Dante for constantly being in debt and gambling but we could survive. Do not think I could be roommates with Vergil. that man does not know how the oven works.

10-Would you date this character?

fuck yeah I would date Dante.

12-What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Nico is the kind of person who drenches everything in ranch. She buys the ranch ice cream a lot and it makes Nero loose his shit every single time. She drowns her chips in ranch and Nero looks at her from across the table like shes murdered someone

14-Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Hrngh fuck im not a fashion person. Do kinda see Trish getting into gothic fashion tho.

20-Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

Nero and Nico are the perfect best friends duo. Always got each others backs, always making fun of each other lightheartedly. I want more of them sooo badly you have no idea.

21-If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

its been decades since I have last written anything in general. But I do remember Dante’s dialogue being fun to write for me and I dont like everything else because im constantly worrying if something is ooc

22-If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?

Its been decades since ive read any dmc fic either (get caught up in other things) but as mentioned earlier do love those family dynamics and the attempts to fix everything. Dont like when Vergil os portrayed as ice cold after dmc5.

23-Favorite picture of this character?

FUCK THIS IS SO HARD. I do love the capcom cafe art with dante and his tits out. the teppen card art is also pretty cool.

24- What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

So considering the only other fandom I am in is about depressed teenagers trying to overcome their trauma its safe to say none. I guess Kel somewhat for Dante? Only cause theyre silly and have older brothers who like blue.

25-What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

When I first saw V back when I knew absolutely nothing about dmc, I thought he was edgy and didnt really like him (the video used the ‘what evil lurks I must destroy’ clip out of context). But now that I have played and beaten the series I must say V my poor guy hes an absolute menace.

26-FREEBIE QUESTION!!

no idea what this means!!!!!so im just gonna make up a question!!!!

26-Would you work for this character?

ABSOLUTELY NOT DANTE HAS NO BREAD!!!! and the job is like. insanely dangerous and im just an internet guy.

[delphi-shield]

YOUR PFP omg it’s amazing !!! where did you find it? love og jill and also love ur fics !!! especially the one about the age gap between reader and the re charas

omg!! okay so it's actually from teppen, the capcom deckbuilding game! there's a ton of jill cards so she got a lot of art. hang on i'll show you some of my favorites & the full version of my pfp lmaooo

also tysm omg you're so sweet!! i love your fics too i like say down and binged so many of your fics one night. i've never gotten around to playing tlou but your fics make me want to get into it jkfajlk

[pink-strawberry-kissess]

hi hello i hope ur having a great day!

this is by no means trying to be a rant post but i just needed a different perspective on this issue so to speak. i got into an “argument” (one sided tbh LOL) with an ashleon shipper (which…. is whatever… ig…) and they were saying that ashleon is canon in re4 remake and i was like how ???? they were completely mischaracterizing aeon too. so im just really confused bc before i became a hardcore re fan and was an outsider so to speak, i just assumed that leon and ada were an “item” bc thats how they have always been portrayed. and then i go on here and retwt (eww) and ppl do not think that AT ALL. ppl think ur crazy for thinking aeon is a canon thing. i just feel like im missing a puzzle piece all the time bc its like … i thought it was pretty obvious? and its so hard to hear the other side on these conversations bc they are so rude and judgmental and dont want to have a civil conversation and hear the other side. so i just wanted to get ur perspective on this issue and why ppl might not automatically think aeon is a thing bc i really like ur takes on aeon as a whole! this also isnt trying to be negative or a shitpost, i just want to hear a different positive and ig “constructive” perspective on this!

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG I JUST HAVE NO WHERE TO TALK ABT THIS STUFF AND I LOVE TALKING ABT IT SO LIKE SORRY HAHA

okay thank you lol

HI HELLO MY LOVE I ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT DAY SKJDFBSJK

yeah i dunno tbh, there's a few very loud ashleon shippers that are claiming that it's canon but i don't know what kind of like cognitive dissonance you gotta be suffering from to think it's canon. i half the time think they're doing it to purposely piss off other shippers so i just don't engage with them lmao

i think that out of all the ships in re, other than like ethan and mia- aeon was the only other one pushed to be canon. i'd argue that chris and jill are barely even romantic (even though i don't care for the ship, i know lots of people ship valenfield) (im more of a clairejill or jill carlos fan meself) (reminder again ship whoEVER YOU WANT IDGAF SKDFBSK)

typically when it comes to promos and stuff, aeon tends to be pushed together though (like from capcom) so that's always been kinda cute and nice. (i love seeing all the teppen art of aeon, and random capcom promos of aeon together)

i just feel like because the ship is "not conventional" it gets a lot of backlash, particularly because the female character doesn't adhere to social norms and gender roles. and typically because aeon falls into this category, people are quick to tear down ada because of it

it's just the same shit lol. i just choose not to engage with it cause i got better shit to do with my time

i'm not the one going into blogs to scream about how i don't like the ship that they're posting and talking about

(me talking about the anons i still get to this day that are like OMG AEON SO BAD BLAH BLAH BLAH, and im like- did you make a tumblr account to do this or-)

feel free to send me a dm if you wanna chat tho lol

[mofffun]

Thoughts about summer clothes:

they are in order of costume -> ready-to-wear lmao

they won't co-ordinate six whole looks just for two days of events, this has to be in the show if with their usual hairstyles/wigs

(bandai has sales targets you know 😏)

even though official twitter called them "campaign-only" as least

GIVE ME THE BEACH/CAMP EP NOW

Realistically, since they went on a roller-coaster, i'm assuming it'd be a future King-Chan episode.

I'm so not used to Rita wearing white no purple my first thought was 'Is that Yuzuki's own clothes??'

[definitely overthinking] RED ALERT Rita's bracelet is missing! It's passed down from Karras and they had it on even with yukata so I really don't think they'd take it off easily unless.... (they (temporarily) pass the throne back to Karras or to Morfonia...)

Earcuff-chan :) !

I think even if Rita really does wear this in the show they'd be wearing more I can't imagine them presenting themself like this yet. The mask ain't coming off.

the shoes is kinda strange as well because it's obviously toei property but not the same pair as the yukata ones or as decorated so i'm not entirely closed to the idea it's one of yuzuki's seven pairs of black sandals but again, definitely overthinking

:((( RIP tank top rita

Blond Aoto did tricked me into looking for Yanma at first glance but Blond Yanma is not exactly a bad idea?? He just looks thoroughly yankee now...

Loooove Souchou's shirt! Looks simple at first but his "Teppen" logo is embroidered on the breast pocket. I loved Aoto's concept of incorporating the N'kosopa gang in his T-shirt design. The denim would also make it an easy piece to mix and match!

Yanma's wearing his usual tank top underneath

💜💙🤍 sporting new necklaces

Loooove Himeno's dress! I thought it was a RTW at first but it's the same cut/pattern as her standard one, and I love how the choice of gingham giving that picnic vibe! (*starts daydreaming about making it over the weekend, the weekend that's well into winter*)

Himeno's earrings! I know it's a flower but it looks like a glazed doughnut ring i want to eat it 🥺🥹

Why is Gira the only one with no change??? 🤣

Sakai Taisei go get a haircut

Masashi is, a prince?? Prince Jeramie?? Literally the Prince in White??

(but also what an antique way of dress lol)

Kaku-san is incredible but a junpei is making him even more the dad friend 😂🤣

bet they're selling that too. gotta milk that commissioned art.

even if they're not ALL switiching outfits in-show at least Kaguragi, Jeramie and Himeno right.

saw a twitter theory they're all looking different because.... time-skip! very interesting idea narratively but i can't take it... missing a chunk of my faves' lives i can't take that.

if wings have an undercover episode in this look

[rockman-x]

My favorite things about each X design

I'll have to put few pics because I'm on mobile. sowwy

also contains me fangirling cringely. you've been warned

X1 - X3 = Face, chunky-ness?

I'm not sure how to explain!

It has a certain appeal! Maybe it's because it seems a bit reminiscent from Classic Mega Man...?

X4 - X7 = Art style

X didn't change much from X3 to the next games (except eye color and apparently rounder shoulder pads, I think), but the style is of course, iconic!

X8 = More lines, slightly more robotic look, more cylindrical

This is the best picture of him I could find because I think he doesn't look so charming in other artwork... Or the models... Oh, the models...

And he's not so bad!

I really like the x shape on his... ear lights. The lines also make it a bit more clear that he's not human. The black joints are also really cool!

Command Mission = Everything

Like look at him. Perfection is real and it's X's Command Mission design.

Ver. Ke = More robotic!!

HELL YEAH BROTHER JUST LOOK AT HIM

an absolute pain for my lazy ass to draw but I love him 💙

I'd add some lines to his face too, but it's okay~

Zero series = everything (again)

Scrimblo...

Who makes me very sad. Holy fuck how does this guy make me so sad.

But really, he looks angelic. Fits really well thematically...

Maverick Hunter X = Softness

Especially in Day of Sigma, X has this air of someone with a kind and gentle personality, which is perfect because that's exactly what he's like!

The way he's portrayed writing wise really helps, but design is an essential part of that too!

And they got it. He's so cute!! How do you look at him and don't want to pinch his cheeks?!

Teppen (because even that has something I like) = More robotic

The limbs and torso are literally the only things that bother me deeply about this design, because otherwise everything is so, so good!

The lights, the lines, the eyes, the halo!!!! So awesome...

The Red Devil’s Chronicles: Dec. 2022 - Feb. 2023 Devil May Cry News Updates: PoC, Merch, and Collabs

Hey there, how’s it going? Yes, it’s been awhile since the last update. Not a whole lot of Devil May Cry news updates have been popping up lately, and I’ve made it where I’m only gonna share Devil May Cry news updates whenever a certain amount appear.

1. More DMCV apparel available at the CapCom store. This time of V and Vergil. 

2. More DMCV content (and Vergil) has come to the mobile game Teppen. 

3. Mobile game Free Fire getting a Devil May Cry V collaboration. 

4. Capcom’s New Years 2023 image features Dante and Nero.

5. Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat is finally gonna have a worldwide release on mobile devices, with a closed beta coming March of this year. b) Pre-registrations are available. c) And the team's looking for influencers to play their game.

My Thoughts On These Updates:

1. Like the last set of t-shirts that Capcom released of the Sparda boys, they’re looking SSStylish.

2. Again, not much of a mobile game person but the art work in Teppen is stunning.

3. It’s nice that Devil May Cry V’s still going strong with the collaboration projects.

4. Cute image from Capcom’s 2023 pic.

5. That’s awesome that Peak of Combat’s finally getting a worldwide release. Just hoping for the rumoured Steam release one of these years since I’m not a mobile gamer.

[luna-rigain]

You’re actually pretty right, officially speaking. The most official art we’ve gotten where Waka has his eyes open are his cards from Teppen when it and Okami got a collab. You can find them here :>

His eyes seem brown or even almost whitish here? Which I can get behind. I personally have hc’d his eyee as blue since I was (checks notes) 11, so para me that ship has sailed. But I ALSO hc that the other most common eye color amongst the moon tribe aside from blue is red, which…

Uh, I’m sure its nothing.

need 2 speak my truth i am feeling brave tonight

[arklay]

🖊️ 🖊️ 🖊️ 🖊️ + diana xx

i've talked about this before, but diana doesn't get colds or viruses at all, and always thought she was just lucky or had a good immune system. truth is, she has a rare gene mutation that makes her resistant to viral infections and only found out about this during her research in africa, and confirmed it after she adapted to uroboros

she was the one who usually administered albert's medication, but she proposed to him that while she was out of kijuju giving a finalised sample to alex (why she isn't there during the events of 5) that he should let excella assist him with his injections so that she believed he trusted her completely, and this would ensure that their resources for the plan were properly secured before he would get rid of her. diana is very spiteful, i don't know what to tell you. maybe don't flirt with her husband while she's right there is all i'm saying

diana actually figured out how to control mutations and conjure tentacles during the years she was on her own and would talk to him through the class of his stasis chamber. after he was stable from her interference with his natural regeneration – speeding up the process quicker than she should've – she asked him to trust her that reverse mutation was possible and showed him how to do it as well

okay enough things surrounding that era. diana is fluent in three languages (english, russian and french) and is proficient in swahili, as well as knowing conversational mandarin

Higurashi When They Cry Hou Ch. 8 Matsuribayashi pt. 15

I sort of wonder how many parts its going to take to go through the entirety of this section of the chapter. My guess is twenty. I guess we’ll see when I post Matsuribayashi pt. 33, and there’s still ten or so fragments to go.

Jirou Tomitake

I’m positive there’s a version of going through the fragments that has this all running as a more or less chronological timeline. Instead of mine where I’m pretty sure it’s going to jump back and forth across it until it hits the point it becomes a more linear progression.

I don’t know why I was so accepting of this complete tonal shift from the past few hours when I’ve complained before about it going from the larger plot to silly shenanigans.

I don’t believe it’s ever said what injury he incurred, shot himself in the foot maybe? He must not mind that whatever it was, since being put on PR duty unlocked his love of photography and all.

He’s one of those guys who gets really excited that someone showed even the slightest interest in their hobby. Can’t say I blame him, who hasn’t been similarly thrilled when someone expresses interest in your hobbies, especially when you find them attractive?

The fragments are all relatively short vignettes, some will go on longer than others, but generally they’re a good deal shorter than the normal length of a chapter. Also I try not to mess up the screenshots, but these fragments can and will end somewhat abruptly. There are times I had to go through them a few times to get the screenshots so there wouldn’t be a completely unrelated background to a given collection of dialogue. There will also be a lot more single line screenshots than previous chapters. For the same reason.

Satoko Houjou

I don’t think I really show it, but on the selection screens here the little character arts can change between which version of the art you’re using. Which is a nice little touch.

That would be an incredibly awkward situation to be in. Ask the kindergartner if they like their parent and have them hit you with the I don’t know?

So even before she was getting verbally and physically abused by Tame Impala and Teppen Satoko’s life was going pretty roughly. Not exactly a laugh a minute time with her during these fragments.

I may be misremembering, but I believe this is the first time Satoko has had any sort of narration. Perhaps in a TIP back around Tatarigoroshi she had something, but I’m fairly certain this is her first real narration in the series.

I do so enjoy it when the text goes red like this. Just really sells the character in the full grip of Hinamizawa Syndrome.

This might be another thing I’m misremembering, but I’m pretty sure this is the only time in this chapter the red lettering happens. I think that’s more to do with the fact that the red letters are limited to the narration of a character falling deeper into the paranoia of Hinamizawa Syndrome. Or at least that’s how it was presented in Tsumihoroboshi. I don’t think the text went red in Onikakushi when Keiichi was going insane with the Syndrome. Plus I didn’t play that chapter with the mod, so I’m pretty sure it was just a thing in Tsumihoroboshi.
