Made a magical girl AU design for Yuu's friend Kei! She's done so much as a ghost already; I'm sure she's built up enough karmic potential to make a contract if she wants.

Since Yuu has a circus (giraffe? horse? clown?) theme, I though it'd be fun if Kei was a ringmaster to match! Her soul gem is a glass eye, based on the rumor in Beachside Bonds that the ghost's eyes had been eaten by sea creatures. Even if it's an exaggeration, she still would've been a bit worse for the wear after she fell from the cliff...

Miscellaneous notes:

Since this would have to be in an AU where Shii hadn't killed Yuu yet, my headcanon is that her wish was "I want to see her so badly. Bring me back to life... Give me a body again."

Her wish resurrected her fully and completely, as if she'd never died to begin with. She's completely indistinguishable from a normal human.

However, it didn't erase her suicide attempt, nor anyone's memories of her death. She's unsure if she should try going home or not-- even if her family misses her, how would she explain a miracle like this? Would they think it was some kind of sick joke, and doubt that she's really their daughter?

Besides, her priority is finding Yuu so they can complete their pact... even if it has to be a murder-suicide this time. (her plans may change once she actually finds yuu.)

Because she essentially wished her long-dead corpse back to life, her personal magic is dead matter manipulation: She can puppet once-living organic material, such as rotten wood, carcasses, and insect husks. It's incredibly powerful in natural environments, but mostly useless in heavily urbanized areas.

She's a bit self-conscious about the massive scar on her face. Like, she considered herself kinda subpar in terms of looks anyway, but this is so... grisly. In hindsight, she thinks she probably should've specified that she wanted to be revived looking like she did before she and Yuu tried to kill themselves.

Kei normally wears her hair down, but it's in a messy bun/almost beehive updo in her magical girl form because she's got that huge neck ruff.

Her feelings towards Shii are no less negative than they were when she was a ghost. Likewise, Shii hates Kei from the second they meet. But they can't actually do anything to each other without upsetting Yuu, and neither of them wants to complicate the situation just yet, so they settle for being just passive-aggressive enough to piss each other off instead.

As an avid D&D player and DM, I love this magic system you've created so much- bc it means that necromancy exists like it does in D&D, but because David is David (TM), he just goes "yeah, but yk what would make this better? Puppets." and just is flying by the seat of his pants trying to create a fusion of DIY crafts and reanimation. he even could be inadvertendly creating an entirely new form of magic while messing around with the Book and his puppetry, but no one will ever know bc he just wants to play around with his little flesh puppets instead of, idk, sitting down and writing an actual grimoire/codex on it and i love him so much for that <3

Really tho!! This is the closest anyone has ever come come to actual reanimation in this universe, not just souless zombies or possessed lamps, real breathing creatures with the souls of people and working innards to back it up! And he's not even writing it down!

One Finnish thing that never fails to amuse me is how in Finland despite the fact that we are more and more learning to say brand names etc. like they are meant to and not like Finns using rally English say things, the Finnish ads for Peugeot cannot pronounce the word like it should be but instead it is said like it is written. This is because most Finns will bastardize the correct pronunciation and 'pösö', which is what the word sounds like and therefore obviously the nickname for the brand, just sounds like it is a basic not-fancy-at-all everyday car that is probably over 20 years old, has seen multiple owners and is now one big breakdown away from being sent to junkyard. So not really an image a company wants to create for their newest car.

I don't think Bab. knew Shawn was tangentially related to The Fucking Prince. For several months into their apprenticeship.

Imagining Shawn gets invited to an event with all the egos and brings Bab with him and they're just like.

WHAT.

Angel Du$t // Waste of Space (The Coneheads cover)

[iniziare]

As I continue Kafka's character page thing (I needed a day or two of a break, life's been a bit tiring), I realized I messed up on my tags, as none of them actually contain the muse name. So, here's to ensuring none of them are too long with the names in! Man, it's obvious that I've been gone from a multimuse for far too long. So don't mind me.

On a different note, I've been seeing some opinions come out on the dashboard about the new Dain quest, and I wanted to give my two cents on it without spoiling anything, because I think it's needed. Now of course, keep in mind that I'm quite the lore junkie, but I actually was really quite fond of it, it definitely hit some strings with me, so I have to side with the word-y ones over on Reddit on this one. I got more answers than questions this time, they didn't sacrifice any lore nor did they overplay their hand, and I wanted to reach through my screen at HVY on numerous occasions through it. So it was a good balance. Now, I'd love to comment more, such as to explain why peopl's 'expected flaws' were actually strengths in my opinion instead, but I don't want to accidentally spoil anything. So it can wait.

Anyway, the real reason that I want to comment on this, is that I want to note that no one blames anyone else for being tired of a game that they've played for a very long time. But there's a clear difference between saying that sometimes, and reminding everyone with every single quest or new content that comes out, or even remind us in comparison with HVY's HSR or even WuWa. I get it. But stop comparing apples to oranges, and stop thinking that Genshin needs to employ new game marketing strategies to keep its player-base, because their numbers show that it doesn't need to do so. If you don't like the game anymore, then simply stop playing it. It's okay. You don't need to keep reminding us, you don't need to shit on it, you don't need to say 'Genshin would never' as if Genshin needs to do anything. Would it benefit from some quality of life changes? Absolutely. But guess where I'll still be despite it, and where I think many (not all, of course) people who are actively complaining will also be,
