Wally Darling is talking to US (WH update)

I saw a few people talking about the Welcome Home update and so far all the posts I've seen keep forgetting that Wally's eyes are on the site if you zoom out. Wally's eyes aren't the only thing there as of this update. This may have some spoilers so feel free to ignore this because I'm talking about what's there and what I think it means.

Now, of course there's the five commands we got around the website before this update. The Write hello, write ok, Move Barnaby, turn the Playfellow Exhibition upside down, and the reverse this image of Sally to be specific. All five of those commands got responses from someone within the website or even someone in Welcome Home. I saw someone say that it's Wally making these changes, and I honestly agree. The "Write hello" is met with red writing in Wally's handwriting.

Now, we know for a fact that this is Wally's handwriting because of the bottom of the Guestbook where everyone signed their name. This is the same handwriting as "Wally" and "Home" in the guestbook.

All of their handwriting is so distinct and only Wally's and Home's names are written in a) the same font and b) the same smiley/accent. Wally is talking to us and/or the WHRP team.

The Write ok is also completely wonky. We all assumed that meant add ok to the URL or just type ok and something would happen; however, the sticker page got completely rearranged. It's a complete mess and the character stickers spell out OK with a smiley face in the "O". Directly under "Neighbors" is Wally's little sticker gif thing and a little house has been constructed around the right eye and one around a Home and a Wally sticker.

It's also worth mentioning that the home sticker in the "welcome home house" is the only Home sticker on the page anymore. I haven't mentioned that the new little drawings that Wally's done have messages when you hover over them. This one in particular says "I did not write this. I did something else. I know who these neighbors are. Do you like them too?" I can't tell if that's Wally trying to come through or something/someone else.

When it comes to the Move Barnaby command, just a glance will show that Barn's name isn't there with Wally's and Howdy's. Barnaby's name is literally moved off of the page with a small drawing of the blue man himself with the message "Do you like Barnaby here?" The silly little guy is showing that he's answering whoever is trying to talk to him.

Barn was physically moved and then asked whether or not it was done correctly. That's also the only place he was moved from on the entire transcripts page.

The playfellow Exhibition page also had a little message saying to turn it upside down. Now anywhere on the page it says, "The Playfellow Exhibition" or even "The Playfellow Workshop" those words are upside down. There's also a drawing of a Christmas tree with an eye on it near the top.

When you hover over the drawing, it says "I did not know what to do. I think I am correct. Is it Homewarming where you are? Happy Homewarming." First of all, what is Homewarming? Is that supposed to be like a housewarming or a Neighborhood holiday or something like that? Also, what is the little guy confused about? Why would he be wrong when the instruction is so clear?

Lastly, the reverse this image of Sally thing is possibly the most bizarre thing about the new update. Of course, the command says to reverse the image so many people just flipped the picture horizontally. This is what we expected but this is what we got.

We got the literal BACK of the picture. You can still see Sally's hand and her shoes, but this shouldn't be possible. How can we see the back of the curtain when it's not a 3D picture. This one in particular leaves me with a bunch of questions and not really any theories. What does this mean for the sake of the website and therefore Wally and the other neighbors? Is Wally the only one who can communicate this way or even trying to? Are the others going to be able to communicate with us and the WHRP team?

In all seriousness, this is so cool and turning out so good! I'm really invested and so proud of Clown and all the voice actors. I can't wait to see where this goes from here and what the next update brings. <3

Welcome!!

The text below is an updated version of the rules (est. Aug/02/2024).

Rules:

[Last update: 28/Sep/2024]

Thank you for passing by and please read all of this page, because some etiquette & info are present here:

I'm Ni/digitalgate02 (She/They) and I am 20+ so I ask you If you are underage please leave because I will not interact with you & if you do not I will softblock and maybe block you if you insist.

→ Personal blogs are not allowed to reblog ANYTHING in this account that are threads, ooc posts or posts made for this account exclusively. You can follow and send asks, but if you reblog anything that's not reblogs of art on purpose you will be blocked.

→ NO BASHING/DUNKING ON ANY SERIES/MOVIES/MANGA/GAMES, OR CHARACTERS OR SHIPS. OR "DUB VS SUB" DISCOURSE -- Also I won’t tolerate hateful comments or behavior towards myself or any RPer fellow as well.

※ I have so little to zero knowledge of the American dub of any digi-series. I will only work with the Japanese version or Brazilian dub.

※ I go with JP terminology & names, but I’m totes fine with dub names. If you start a thread with them, I’ll tag along with it. But if I’m the one starting it I’ll go with what I’m used to.

※ I go by canon divergent for certain material like WS games and ▽, as example. By the way, I'd like to go by what was said by my friend Shiha when it comes to canon and non-canon stuff.

→ I don’t ship human/digimon, adult/minor, incest and I might block if you ship it. I multiship things though! Each verse with multiple muses can have different relationships (platonic, romantic, family, rivals, enemies, etc??) -- but i don't write sm/ut.

→ I'm OC, AU, Canon Divergent and Crossover friendly, but I'd like to know your muses first. [check the crossover list for stuff I have minimal knowledge about btw!]

→ Pre-stabilished relationships are only for canon relationships. Your OCs will have to be introduced to my muses first, or plotted beforehand. Non-canon ships also must be plotted beforehand, sorry. I'm really picky about that. If you don't ship a canon ship, let me know beforehand so I can avoid writing pre-stabilished romantic relationships with you.

→ I don't expect anyone with canon characters to follow the storylines/plotlines I post (or reblog) in this blog. You're free to disagree with them as you wish; however If you like them and want to join them, feel free to ask me first! And yes, I can change parts of these verses/plotlines to accommodate you and your headcanons, just let me know first!

→ Our portrayals of the same muse may differ, and that's okay. Don't expect me to write the same muse like you and vice-versa (I feel uncomfortable when people do that).

※ If you feel unsure about your own portrayals, please remember that even the canon material has different portrayals of a character because it was written by multiple people. I may block if someone comes to "teach" me or anyone else how to write my or their muses. I have had bad experiences with this in the past, and now I vouch for everyone's right to write their muses/AUs/ships the way they want, even if I disagree with them.

→ Feel free to drop threads, but let me know please. If I want to drop a thread I'll let you know. No hard feelings though! We can always make a brand new one.

※ Replies/threads length may vary, so no need to write long replies if I write long ones, or short replies if I wrote short ones. I won't judge you by it, or for fancy formats/icons/etc. Just keep in mind I'm not English native so sometimes English accents might be a little harder for me 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️

→ I don’t like passive-aggressiveness. If you have something to correct in my posts, please do it politely.

※ Communication is the key -- I'm awkward when reminding people about threads because I don't want them to think I'm rushing them. And I'll admit I'm paranoid and had issues with people ghosting me in the past so it makes me a bit nervous with couples or multimuses that are not full digimon-only OR multi muses from friends. If you feel uncomfortable with anything I said or had done, please TELL ME. I'd like to apologize and solve things peacefully. If we don't click, then at least we can part ways with no hard feelings.

※ "Hey Ni, are you mad/ignoring me because you didn't reply/comment in the tags anymore..." -- No, I'm not. Don't worry, the reason is simple: I'm afraid of hitting the limit of saved tags in the autosave function and getting my tags reset. So I'd like to make comments privately (if you don't mind!) or via OOC posts with said tags copied into the post.

※I also don't like drama or people posting vague things about me. It drives my paranoia crazy. Again, this is thanks to issues I've had in the past. If I catch a post that sounds like it's about me, i'll silently unfollow or block.

→ Although I'm not mutuals-only, I'd appreciate it if you could soft-block me if you plan to unfollow. So I'll understand if you don't want to write or interact with me anymore. However, you are always free to talk to me again (unless you tell me *not* to, in which case I'll respect your wishes).

→ I'm always open to plot things -- relationships, threads, headcanons, etc. So feel free to DM me if you get an idea in mind so we can discuss.

→ This blog might contain NF/SW stuff, nothing sex/ual, but swearing or mild triggering content. Please be aware before following me. If you want me to tag something, please tell me beforehand and privately.

→ No godmodding and mindreader, etc. If you want to attack my muses or do some of their actions, please let me know first. Hugging or following you on a walk -- as examples -- are OK, but kissing and other sort of actions are NOT.

→ Btw i'm uncomfortable when people use real people icons in threads, or have live action muses. Sorry （；´д｀）ゞ

→ Please don’t send me requests to draw stuff. Some replies might have art! But if you just drop me something like “can you draw [insert here some prompt/idea]” i will immediately reply with my comm. price chart :) And no, I won’t draw fetish art.

※ If you want to use my art for icons, please let me know beforehand. Some of my art and icons have a backstory or are tied to a project of mine. And please, do not use my OCs as faceclaim or roleplay them. And please please, DO NOT REQUEST ARTISTS TO DRAW NSFW STUFF WITH MY OCS ESPECIALLY WITHOUT MY CONSENT.

→ Usual common etiquette – No hatred towards people’s religions, sexual/romantic orientation, gender (or lack of), PoC, ethnicities, etc. I won’t hesitate to block if needed.

→ Please send at least one meme if you are reblogging from me...! Reblog from the source/OP or try reblogging from my meme-reblogging blog: @gogglememes

→ Do not edit my art or repost/reupload it. If you wanna use it as an icon/sidebar, ask first. And no, you cannot use my art on A/I & N/F/T for ANYTHING. If you do that, I will block you immediately. If you want to use my doodles as icons, ask first. BTW i do have an icon warehouse blog (it used to be my old RP acc, but now it's for icons + archival of past stuff written with old fellows) → @goggle-digicons

○ If you're OK with those terms, then tell me your favorite Armor Evo from 02 material (Anime/Movie/Drama CD) -- you can use either name version (i can always research for the mon's OG name on wikimon) then there ya go.✌ ○

○ Icons credits: -- Tumblr:@7digitalheroes | @goggles-and-noodles | @digimon-icons | @iconwarehouse | @ofcanalave | @qtpiecaps | @guiltfreeicons | @blujaerps | @facexclaimxcafe-blog | @fractalflare -- Live Journal:[1][2][3][4][5][6]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

About Ni:

Hi I'm Ni (She/They; 20↑), I love Digimon in general, but the series I work with more is the OG Adventure series. I'm Ace/Panromantic, please use she/her or they/them pronouns. I'm a scaredy-cat kind of person who gets nervous and anxious at first, but once we start bonding I'll drop that and be more of myself. Also, I'm not good with people/communication, so sometimes I have meltdowns and have to step back for a while. Usually I'm either cooling off on a non-roleplaying blog or just hanging out on Discord. So please be patient with me during these times.

I love to learn new things, so please correct me if needed but without yelling at me because I kind of hate being yelled at, because I had bad personal life experiences in the past. My muses, despite some being quite closer to my personality are NOT me so please be aware of the differences between muse and writer.

I get super duper fired up when talking about the things I love the most. However I can be quite harsh and critical about said stuff as well. I tend to get a lot of brainstorms so if I’m messaging you that much please tell me and I will slow down my pace. 

I also get excited when writing a thread, so I tend to reply hella quickly while I still have in mind what to say. Don’t rush me, but give me small reminders if I forget to reply since there’s a chance I actually forgot to or thought it was your turn when in fact I hadn’t replied in the first place.

I also draw. Like, a lot. Quite compulsive. Some of my non-canon-material icons are my own art. And I feel a bit uncomfortable by using other people’s fanart WITHOUT their permission. So yeah, I do my own doodled icons… When I get energy for those.

[cyansimblr]

Good day everyone! Thank you for sending me asks! (´｡• ω •｡`) This ask game is fun to answer ♥ I’m sorry the replies are compiled!! I don’t want to bother people by spamming asks in their dash. (Also because i was making navigation + character pages the whole afternoon. (×﹏×)) Thank you so much to anonny, @sorrowfulsims​, @morgynemberisagenderfluiddaddy​, @meksims​, @oversimplify-it​, @waysims​, @lunasimmer​, and @arethabee​​! ♥

All replies under the cut! [ Simblr ask game time~ ]

1. How big is your mods folder?

Its around 7.31 GB right now!

2. How would you describe your style?

I say...my sim style is greatly inspired by the webtoons i had worked with in the past! So my sims won’t be 100% anatomically correct build-wise. Simblr-wiseeee: I like pastels! I want it all over my blog as much as possible!

3. What is your favorite challenge?

There was this!! Amazing challenge!! That i really wanted to try back when i was just starting, but i don’t think i can ever pull it off... If anyone can do the Heart Signal Challenge by lysiablr, I’d be forever grateful as i haven’t seen anyone taking on the challenge yet!

5. What type of cc do you hoard?

I hoard male hairs! That reminds me...i should do a clean-up soon...

6. What default eyes and skin do you use?

I’m using beetle eyes by squeamishsims and kijiko’s maxis match skintone collection~

7. How many urls have you had, and what are the meanings behind them?

I never had any url yet aside from this one and i don’t think it will ever change tbh! I chose ‘cyansimblr’ because i wanted people to know who was my main sim baby just by seeing my name~

10. Who is your favorite cc creator?

I don’t want to bother when they surely have a lot of mentions dailyyy but my favorite cc creators are peacemaker, dyoreos, casteru, trillyke, aladdin-the-simmer, liliili, arethabee, greenllamas, and pralinesims! I forgot someone for sure but yep, that’s about it~

11. How do you edit your photos?

I am heavily inspired by scrapbooks! I want to stare at my blog and feel like i have a virtual diary of some sorts. ♥ 

12. What is the last screenshot you took?

Spoiler warning? |･ω･)

13. What do you do when you are unmotivated?

I play other games like pokemon or rune factory and read webtoons when i feel unmotivated. Though, i try not to drown on it as long as possible or i’ll get used to the feeling and that’s a no no~

15. Who is your current favorite sim that is not by you?

@barbieaiden’s Aiden, @harinezumi-sims’s Yuki (my bb!!!) @void-imp’s Jab, @oversimplify-it’s Erin, @amelettes’s Jun, and @tzuhu​’s Caleb and Morgyn!

17. Do you talk about sims with people in real life?

This is so funny! My steven stone cult gang and food fantasy circle teamed-up and created a discord server to talk about my sim babies while sharing custom content links to each other. Its so adorable to watch. Oh, and they all love Citron the most. ┐(︶▽︶)┌

18. How many of the packs do you own?

I recently gave in to the temptation called paranormal pack and transitioned to the pirate life so i think i can get all packs. Its a shame not being able to use the gallery anymore though. (But i’m gonna be broke for the whole 2021 trying to pay rent and buy medications, sooo /shrugs// )

20. How many drafts do you have on your blog currently?

I don’t queue or keep drafts sobs. (╥﹏╥)

25. How many hours have you played sims?

I think i was in around 800 hours when i can still track on Origin. 

This was pretty long! Thank you for reading!! ♥

[holyguardian]

my url, if you wish?

MEME → Send me a url and I'll answer the following;;

Opinion on;

Character in general: [clutches my pearls] I will choose Zenos as the character, multiblog in mind. He's scary. I'm dancing around how to answer this spoiler-free for those who are still playing through FFXIV so I will add the tag FFXIV spoilers to the tags so I can speak a bit more openly. His is the first memorable case for me where you come up against a threat and it's programmed that you have to lose to get across how powerful this guy is and how hopeless it is standing against him. Then when you think you've won, it's this slow, dawning realisation that you're still on the battlefield and he's not done with you yet. I'm looking forward to what's in store for us and I might have a more complete opinion in some months. Maybe. Who knows with this game.

How they play them: With a lot more heart! Which isn't a bad thing, having the ability to give introspection to a villain character completely changes the game. Zenos still isn't someone to toy with, obviously, though there are more possible avenues for relationships on this blog than what canon opens up.

The writer: Mafdet is a lovely person! I have only spoken to them a handful of times but I feel like we get along just fine. We both are 🤝 about IMs sitting there for a while until we have the spoons to pick them back up and get back on topic. Which. I am genuinely so happy about, I worry that people are sometimes offended when I take time but they get it.

Do I:

RP with them: Not yet! I have sent a couple things into their inbox though, and I have enjoyed those short interactions. Aerith was a brave girl and approached Zenos a couple of times. And lived to tell the tale.

Want to RP with them: Yes!!! Actually currently working out a crossover roleplay between Aerith and Rosaria. I could not for the life of me make my girl fit into FFXIV in a way that I was happy with, so we've decided that a crossover with her is the best choice.

What is my;

Overall Opinion: hfefheqgfhj Mafdet is very approachable and accommodating to struggling writers like me!!! I don't know what else to say, they have been wholeheartedly warm and welcoming. Also their roster of characters is peppered with their own OCs which I do admire, it's always so fun and fresh stepping into new adventures with an OC.

[chaninfused]

Today, this mediocre blog turns one year old.

And it’s not much, but it’s something, for sure. I’m happy to be writing this, mainly because I didn’t expect to write it in the first place. Coming here, I had no aspirations for this blog. Write and post, that was my initial intent, but I’m glad to say I have found and created much more. As cliché as it sounds, I’ve learned and improved quite a lot, both as a person and a writer. Never in my life had I imagined myself writing y/n stories, yet here I am, and I’m content.

As much as I complain, I cannot deny that this place made this year bearable so far. Everyone, from my friends to my silent readers, made this experience fun, despite the various disappointments of 2020 (ahem, a ruined senior year). For that, I think it’s time to move to the important parts of this letter; all I have to say to you!

First, I must thank the friends that gave me something to look forward to each day. I am honored to have met you all, whom I have spoken to daily or spontaneously. Thank you for keeping up with my sucky person antics!

@luvhjs, I often wonder if we could’ve ever met if @skzwritersclub didn’t exist, or if you didn’t decide to join our fetus network, and I always conclude that it’s not something I want to think about. Simply because it’s horrifying. I might not express it properly, but our friendship is one I treasure beyond words. Thank you for panicking with me over silly things, listening to my nonsense rambles, and in all sincerity, being the best there is. A hundred ‘I love you’s randomly arriving in your inbox would never be enough, but I hope you know that I love you, and I wish you all the best, all the time ♡

@missinghan, I don’t know where to begin, and honestly, I don’t know where to stop either. I don’t regret screaming into your dms that day, although I’m deeply sorry for terrifying you (oops!). All jokes aside, I truly don’t know what I’ve done to deserve a friend like you. I’m grateful for each conversation we’ve had, even that one about maggot cheese or those depressing texts about our dying dashboards. I solemnly believe that I would’ve lost my mind during spring break had we not spent careless hours on Tumblr talking about anything that could possibly be talked about. I feel like I couldn’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me; for hearing my writing rants to handling my dramatics to just being there when I send a good morning text in all caps. You are incredible, it is not just a silly nickname. I love you, and I know affection is gross but I’m saying it again. I love you! ♡

@meiiyue, hey, remember when you told me you knew me from Wattpad? That was our first proper interaction, and I am so glad I had gotten to know you better after that. We often joke about it, but I love your love for all things murder. Please never let anyone’s opinions get in your way. You honestly have one of the most unique personalities I’ve ever known. I mean, where else would you find koalas and blood-chilling crime in one place? Thank you for being the cutest and most talented. I hope you know that you’re loved, and I love you, and it will always be that way ♡

@meanhly, oh, look, it’s my keyboard smashing partner! I’m glad you decided to panic about On track in my dms instead of my askbox. Thank you for birthing this beautiful friendship! Speaking of which, what friendship level are we at now, Selina? Okay, I’ll stop fooling around. Thank you for never failing to make me laugh, no thanks to your autocorrect for calling me fruit, though. I think one of the reasons I love the Songless Bird so much is, well, you! It was your excitement about the story that pushed me to explore the world more, to write more. I cannot even begin to express how thankful I am for that. I love you, so much, and I cherish our friendship just as much ♡

@smileylino, our ‘02 line is only complete with you, Rain. Thank you for being the best panic partner (hehe) and the cutest Minho stan. Talking to you is always so much fun, even if we’re just discussing memes or soft scenarios. I don’t know how successfully your Minho detox is going, but I miss your random declarations of love for the one and only. I hope you know that you’re really talented, and I’ll always be here to cheer you on whenever. You deserve only the best this world can offer. I know you’ll do amazing, whatever it is you’ll be doing. I love you! ♡

@lixiefe, if anyone were to see our first interactions, they wouldn’t expect us to become good friends. Yet here we are, and I wouldn’t change that for the world! I love talking to you, even if it’s about the strangest of topics. Thank you for making me love my own work. You make it out to be something special, which it isn’t, but I appreciate that so much. Thank you for handling my self-deprecating statements with hilarious poop references, even though I am still adamantly against them (kidding!). You’re special, I hope you’d know that. I love you so much! ♡

@scriptura-delirus​, we might not interact a lot but whenever we do, it’s always so much fun. I truly admire your work and your way of thinking. Thank you for writing the best fantasy to be found in this fandom, and for all the support you’ve shown my mediocre stories. If this were a follow forever, know that your url would be among the first. I love you! ♡

@jeonginks​, can I consider you a friend? I hope I can. The entirety of my first interactions with you consisted of me embarrassing myself, from that useless blurb to all that panicking. Thank you for not blocking me yet... I am very sure that without SWC, I wouldn’t have ever talked to you. And while I might not panic anymore, you are still someone I genuinely look up to when it comes to writing. I wish you’d know that you’re an inspiration, for me and many writers out there. Also, you can send me as many Liam memes as you want, I’ve become immune to them (phew). I presume this is called affection, but I love you! ♡

@scxrlettwxtches​, writing or not, you’re a dear friend of mine. I’m terrible at expressing things, but I’m glad we started talking. Thank you for listening to all the unnecessary writing things I say. I love your work, even though I don’t say it enough. You might not know but your enthusiasm motivates me to write; all the random questions and spoiler requests. I’m sorry for [redacted] in ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat’. I hope I’ve been able to make up for that through the blurbs! All in all, I wish you all the best in everything you do, and I love you! ♡

@f3lixlvr​, you are the first person I have properly spoken to in his hellhole. I remember our first conversations and just how much joy they brought me, even though I was hiding behind an anonymous profile. Thank you for being the most amazing and making late 2019 fun and exciting. I love you! ♡

@wingkkun​, we only began directly interacting recently, but we’ve talked before. Your writing is great, beyond that, even. I’ll raid your masterlist one day, just you wait! You seem like a complete sweetheart, and I hope we can talk more in the future. Thank you for all the lovely tags you had left on my stories, I love you! ♡

@ammuqwer​, you are a friend I didn’t expect to make, but one I wouldn’t want to lose for anything. Talking to you brightens my day, and I can only wish I can offer just as much happiness in yours. You’re amazing, really. If you ever have a hard time, please know that you can always find me. I love you! ♡

@p2q3r4​, I often scroll through your blog and I have to say, you’re crazy talented. Your drawings are stunning! Thank you for all the comments you’ve left on my writings, I appreciate every single one of them. You’re also a complete sweetheart, have I ever told you that? And I love your love for languages, it never was annoying. Never stop being amazing, I love you! ♡

🌷 anon, I might not know who you might be, but you’re a friend I cherish so much, Tulip. I love talking to you, and I say that a lot, but hearing from you is always so lovely. Thank you for all the asks you’ve ever sent, those with tmi to those with Splatoon talk. I hope you know that I’ll always be there for you, whenever, wherever. I love you so much! ♡

Caeliman Minho anon, last but definitely not least. I’m afraid this short letter wouldn’t do you justice, but I hope you’d know that you mean a lot to me. Thank you for all the support you’ve shown my work, all the inspiration you’ve given me, and all the thoughts you’ve generously shared. I love hearing what you have to say, and I love you! Thank you for everything ♡

Second, to all my readers, those who always reblog, those who leave a trail of hearts behind, and even those who just pass by, thank you for giving my writings a chance. I am continuously motivated to write more and write better for you. I’m nowhere near that, but I’m slowly making my way up there. Thank you for being the best audience ♡

Finally, to you reading this, thank you for reaching this far. It has only been a year, and I hope I can continue to contribute to this fandom for much longer than that.

Today, a story was meant to be posted. Due to my poor management skills (yikes!), I will instead be posting the world-information edit for ‘Danse Macabre’. Please look forward to it!

That is all. Thank you for making these 365 days on this blog special, and here’s to many more! I love you all! ♡

[draconivn]

So there’s this post going around complaining about Masamune’s story and it’s been irritating me, but I’m not going to link to it why bother, because the OP may decide to delete it, change URLs, whatever have you.

Am I the only one who understands why Masamune's event story is the way it is? 

Masamune didn't have a good life growing up, and unfortunately that information doesn't come out until you do both his romantic and dramatic route and pull the gacha story for finishing both routes, called Drops of Happiness. Now whether you have done it or not is besides the point.

!! SPOILERS FOR DROPS OF HAPPINESS PREMIUM HERE ALSO !!

Here’s some facts that are in the premium that is actually from history itself: 

His mother Yoshihime has attempted to kill Masamune several times while growing up. I'm not sure if the younger brother is written into his background because I never saw it in the Drops of Happiness premium, but Yoshihime has favoured his younger brother Kojiro in hopes that he would take up the heir of both the Date and Mogami clans. 

Because of the strained relationships, they now live in separate castles.

Masamune doesn’t talk about his parents because he had mentors raising him every single step of the way. He always acts cool about it and isn’t the type to coddle.

According to some stories, Masamune went and killed Kojiro in retaliation when Yoshihime had attempted to poison him one time. Masamune had a wet nurse named Kita Katakura (Kojuro’s older sister) who practically raised him.

Another fact brought up in many ikesen events (especially in Masamune’s route, and in the wedding event earlier this year through Ieyasu’s story and Kenshin’s story): 

Marriages in the Sengoku era are political. The only thing the wife is there for is to spread her legs to make babies, tutor them, and look pretty and gossip to other samurai wives. It doesn’t matter if you love someone else, so if you’re betrothed to another man that isn’t your lover, you’re getting married to your betrothed whether you like it or not. At no point is that bride just as much obligated to love her children, because the point is that you’re able to grant an heir to the clan, because they want to make sure the clan succeeds through that child. If you can’t conceive a boy, it’s time to bring in a concubine.

If you haven’t read Masamune’s event story for How To Raise A Child, please stop here.

I’m sure we’re all pissed that Soujiro didn’t get the attention he deserved and was neglected as a result. I’m sure we’re all pissed that the mother didn’t give her affections and favoured one child over another, and that’s why Soujiro ran away.

But ohhhh boy. This is NOT uncommon. When there’s more than one son, there will always be the power struggle of who’s next in line. As mentioned above, Yoshihime had tried to kill Masamune so that Kojiro could become the next leader of the Date clan so he could inherit both the Date and Mogami, also deeming that Masamune wasn’t fit to be the ruler and the loss of his right eye was validation to her reasoning. ( I’m sure this is how he started his belief in becoming the ideal leader to prove her wrong, that he is more than capable of being a great leader despite losing an eye when he was a child. )

I’ll admit, going into this event, I didn’t think I was prepared to see Masamune be a doting father figure but...

...How to raise a child? Of course Masamune isn’t an expert in this, and neither is MC, but if you’re looking for a more motherly-like MC, then you’d have to be looking at Hideyoshi or Mitsunari’s MC.  Things back then are a lot different than they are now. To say this is wrong to do this, yes, it’s wrong, but it’s not an uncommon when you consider the time period and where this child is coming from. Right from how he spoke off the bat had red-flagged Masamune and MC that he could possibly be from a samurai family, and they had to treat him accordingly, not some random commoner kid who got to live freely and play in the streets without having to worry about sword practice or ikebana lessons. They aren’t raising a child of their own, but a kid who is raised under a samurai roof with the expectation of knowing what it’s like to be an adult before he even gets to his teenage years. In the end, this kid has to go back to his family, and be the proof that even if his mom doesn’t like him, he can prove his worth just like Masamune did. Had this kid been theirs, he definitely would’ve been the cool-looking, hands-on (and apparently more of the spontaneous idiot some people paint him for) kind of dad, and I expected that. Instead, Masamune gave the subtle reminder of “hey, this kid isn’t mine or MC’s, so I can��t go treating him like that if he belongs to another family” because wow, what are the chances you’re harbouring the child of an enemy clan.

I know MC would’ve been upset and raising arms over Soujiro being neglected, but she has no idea how to raise samurai families. When she found out about Masamune’s past, she was ready to raise arms, but instead, decided to offer him comfort for the tears he never could shed in his entire life. She had made peace with the fact that families from her time aren’t going to be the same as samurai families in the Sengoku era, but it DOES NOT MEAN she condones this kind of behaviour. If anything, Masamune is the expert in this situation, and he takes the lead in how to handle this properly. 

I know “suck it up” was a hard shock to me and the MC, but you have to realize this is the 16th century of samurais and nobility, where everything is about money, power and having the most beautiful woman on your arm. Nothing is going to be a field of flowers unless you’re like MC from the beginning of Masamune’s route who never experienced war because war no longer exists in her time period. (Also if we want to get technical, that means she would be from the year 2082 since the game started in 1582 when Nobunaga was supposed to die.) Of course, we don’t know anything about Soujiro until 5 days into his stay, and everything happens there, but at least we can see MC worrying for the kid. Had they been their usual eccentric selves, the kid would’ve retreated into his shell even more BUT there is a hint to Masamune’s fatherly side, where he is being patient and waiting for Soujiro’s willingness to open his mouth. When Soujiro goes to work, Masamune didn’t tell him specifically what to do to work this kid to the bone. It’s like doing your chores in exchange for a good treat. No one likes to be told to go do their chores in exchange for what they want, but Soujiro is mature in how he behaves around Masamune, and does what he can. Like MC trying to work rather than playing princess around Azuchi.

There’s so much I can probably throw here but my brain has gone kaput so please have this post and I hope people understand why this story event isn’t shit.

I don’t usually defend Cybird’s stuff (I’m up in arms about other things, but that’s salt that I don’t have time for), so enjoy this post because I’m diving back into my fanfics now.

A/S/L??

@queen-o-castle tagged me in this Get-to-Know-You post, and it made me so reminiscent of high school Hotmail email chains with my friends which were then immediately uploaded to my Xanga page that I just had to do it. Besides, who doesn’t like talking about themselves and pretending like people care?? Have fun stealing my identity!!

Also, in true email quiz chain fashion, I’m going to tag a person or two that I know, but also a bunch that I have a Tumblr crush on and think they’re amazing and I just want to draw doodly hearts around their usernames. I’m gonna go change my AIM away message and get butterflies when I hear the door opening .wav file play.

@caffeinewineo​ @lostandfoundinthebackofmymind​ @l0vegl0wsinthedark​ @bixgirl1​ @wilwheaton​ (because you never know, maybe he misses Xanga too) @bunjywunjy​ @pearl-likes-pi​

Name/Alias: Melissa. I have had so many usernames in the past (but this is my super secret Tumblr blog so don’t go stalking me okay??) like mgmdrums, tsoliastra, melissapocalypse, and my favorite from the days of Yahoo, djfanatic (short for Daniel Jackson Fanatic).

Birthday: March 29th. Shared with the lovely Marina Sirtis, the brilliant Eric Idle, and the indomitable Lucy Lawless.

Zodiac: Aries af. My sister is way more into it and could tell you shit about my moon signs and I don’t know, what Jupiter’s moons were gossiping about when I was born or something. I just know I’m stubborn and genuinely have no fucks to give.

Height: 5′ 7″. My whole extended family is tall.

Hobbies: Playing the same 2 video game franchises repeatedly (Mass Effect and Dragon Age). Rewatching the same shows/movies repeatedly. Rereading books I’ve already read and occasionally sneaking in a new one periodically. Sleeping (legitimately, depression is a bitch). Eating (the weight gain has happened, might as well run with it. Well....not run, obviously. Sit with it, maybe). Cuddling with my 4 cats. Starting projects/hobbies and then getting bored with them after a week or less (drawing, making candles, knitting, etc.)

Favorite colors: I don’t know that I have a specific one anymore, but blues are probably my most frequent go-to. I like deep, darker colors. Eggplant, a rich burgundy, deep emerald, etc. Pastels are too nice for me, and I’m not really a neon person.

Favorite books: This is a deep, deep well of obsession, so here goes: The Vorkosigan Saga, by Lois McMaster Bujold. It’s 15+ book series that primarily follows Miles Vorkosigan, a brilliant strategist who probably has bipolar disorder and is a mix between Sherlock Holmes, Vash the Stampede, and Tyrion Lannister (heavy on the Vash, he gets in more trouble than seems physically possible, and on the Tyrion for multiple reasons). Except it’s so much more than that, and I’m obsessed with this series almost as much as I am Dragon Age and Mass Effect, and I wish more people had heard of it. If you’re at all interested ask me ask me ask me and I would love to talk to you about it. Or don’t, because I might not shut up. ------ Beyond that series, I like the Artemis Fowl series, the Ender’s Game series, and the Outlander series (I love long, long stories) just to name a few. Another favorite that even less have heard of than the Vorkosigan Saga: The Saga of Pliocene Exile/Intervention/The Galactic Milieu Trilogy, by Julian May. It’s a sort of convoluted and confusing series to explain, but it’s 3 series of books that utilize time travel (spoiler) and so the end of one takes you back to the beginning of another and it just loops. It’s amazing and I love it so, so much. I’m so sad that nobody seems to have ever heard of it.

Last song listened to: "Piano Man”, by Billy Joel. It actually was on the radio, which bears mentioning because he’s my favorite musical artist of all time and I have every single one of his albums on CD and know all the words to almost all of them (I don’t know his Attila stuff, mainly because the quality is....not great).

Last movie watched: Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus. It made me very, very happy.

Inspiration for muse: I’m not very creative, so I get less “inspiration to create via muse” and more “inspiration to clean my house because someone’s coming over��. A lot of the new things I try are things I’ve seen my friends doing and it seems fun, or I feel like I should try to do something to better things for my cats. I used to play piano and percussion both pretty significantly (got a scholarship for them, and was actually pretty fucking good at it). But I don’t play anymore, and that was pretty much my only artistic output.

Dream job: I loved working on a college campus. I was an admin assistant for student conduct and what was basically the students’ social worker. I’d love to have some sort of administrative role in the student support services arena. I don’t know that I need to be the one meeting with them face-to-face, but I want to be involved in it somehow.

Meaning behind my URL: I love webcomics (seriously, I have probably 30 different webcomics that I’m currently keeping up with, maybe more, and a bunch more that have ended that I read when they were still going). One of them is Sheldon Comics, by Dave Kellett.  His strip on Aug. 11, 2006 is as follows:

It just stuck with me. Okay I’m done. And I’m sorry.

[emilyelizabethfowl]

Okay so I’ve got five asks in the past few days, and since today I’ve gotten this:

{{picture of an ask by Anonymous, content: Did you ever figure out the thing that riddle anon was talking about?}}

I’m gonna put them here in order if not provide the solution. 

Ask number one:

{{Answered ask by Anonymous, content: he’s not who you think he is, the situation is worse than the truth that came out. My answer: i’m very confused as to who is this about? pls elaborate?}}

My answer stands btw - no idea who this might be. i don’t remember anyone coming out with any problematic truth recently, but i don’t remember most of the things that happened so that’s a moot point.

Ask number two:

{{answered ask by anonymous, content: the person is someone you know, who’s actions spoke louder than words, my answer: “someone you know”? that’s quite a lot of people, you realize? pls, can we cut the games? i could always make a guess who board if you’d rather keep playing, but i don’t think either of us would want that}}

notice: in first ask he/him pronouns were used, here the use of pronouns is avoided. “actions spoke louder than words” - that’s an interesting sentence to use when most information we get on tumblr users is in the form of text. 

“someone you know” - how can you be sure? do you mean i follow them, they follow me, we interacted on a post, we’re close friends? i would say i know people i keep in regular contact with, and that would be @kuro-misaki and @averruncus-hd currently. I’m not aware of any drama concerning those two, neither recently nor ever. 

Ask number three:

{{answered ask by anonymous, content: their universe was massive, but the planets inside them crumbled when they came clean, my answer: okay. i have no idea what you mean but i do love the phrasing. do keep going.}}

notice: clear gender-neutral pronouns, rather than he/him used in the first ask. possible different subject/author/both

This ask kind of reminded me of @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses tbh. 

And the last, fourth, unpublished ask:

{{unanswered ask by anonymous: their lies were present, and they disappeared in an instant when others opened their minds to the truth}}

So I’m going to assume all four are connected. [[possible involvement of the author in the fifth]]

analyze below the cut. feel free to have a go at it as well.

the whole:

he’s not who you think he is, the situation is worse than the truth that came out

the person is someone you know, who’s actions spoke louder than words

their universe was massive, but the planets inside them crumbled when they came clean

their lies were present, and they disappeared in an instant when others opened their minds to the truth

Okay, first point: change of pronouns. as i said earlier, this might mean change in subject of the asks or the author, but i’m going to assume it was simply a mistake for now, or that it is about a person who uses both he/him and they/them

so. someone was hiding a part of themselves that got recently exposed via an action they made. they might or might not have already spoken on the matter. it is recent enough or not addressed enough for me to not know about it. 

it is a person of great influence, [[the planets inside them - is that a reference to the subfandoms? that reminds me of Thomas Sanders, sort of. can’t remember the url]] and yet i knew them. i assume the “knew” part is more of a brief interaction here on tumblr rather than anything significant. 

Anon knows far more about the situation than the general public. the Subject is therefore a mutual point of contact. we might have interracted indirectly. “he’s not who you think he is” shows i either spoke on the topic [if so i don’t remember  doing it] or reblogged someone talking about it [far more likely but as above i don’t remember it]

But the “they came clean” part shows that they did address the issue in some form or another. and yet their actions taken at more or less the same time denied anything they might’ve said. 

the last ask makes me way more confused. their lies were present. alright. but “they disappeared in an instant when others opened their minds to the truth”? so the truth was something uncomfortable people didn’t want to believe in, because they had to “open their minds” to it. 

but why would have the lies simply disappeared? that’s not how lies work. unless, their lies were “present” as in “a gift”, and by opening themselves to the uncomfortable truth, the gift of the lies disappeared. i know that’s a stretch.

UNLESS “they” in “they disappeared in an instant” talks about the Subject, not the lies. that would mean they either stopped being active on tumblr [no matches in my mind], deleted their account [i know a person but that was a while ago and i haven’t heard anything scandalous on them ever] or got deleted by tumblr [the toothpaste account believed to be deleted for endgame spoilers?]

that interpretation makes it seem as if by opening their minds to the truth people started harassing the Subject. may i remind for the record i have no idea who the Subject is and this is NOT a defense of whatever they might’ve done as I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT DID THEY DO, thank you. 

“their universe was massive, but the planets inside them crumbled when they came clean “ is giving me troubles. why the space reference? why were the planets inside them? what do the planets represent? 

So yeah i can safely say that NO i did not figure it out, i am no closer to figuring it out than i was before getting the first ask, my apologies for any possible dissapointment. if anyone has any ideas, i’m open to hearing them. if Anon wants to keep throwing clues at me, i’m open to those as well.

Oreos are goals now?

Simon vs The Homo Sapians Agenda by Becky Albertalli

This book really burst onto the scene and made an impression to a lot of people, especially when it was made into a major motion picture in 2018. I felt it was only right to throw my 2 cents into the ring on this one.

Unicorn Rating:

Blurb: High school is a time for change and figuring out who you are. That feeling is captured in this touching and funny book. Simon is a protagonist that just wants to get through high school and his quirky family and friends make him carve out a special place in your heart.

Disclaimer: I will try my best to not spoil anything from the book, but my book loving rambles may give more away than a traditional review. Here we go! Ramble time!

Review:

This book has been talked about everywhere, especially since the movie adaptation that came out last year. Admittedly, this is one I wish I had read sooner. The characters in this are so real and down to earth that you can’t not relate to them. If you have been in high school, you can understand where the characters are coming from. One thing Albertalli did exceptionally well is she made it easy for people who are not queer to relate to Simon and Blue.

The plot of this book was something that was easy to digest and felt real to how it feels to be a closeted queer kid. Simon’s mental dialogue felt so true to what I remember when I was in the closet. I did find the driving plot story line to be a bit annoying at times, not because it wasn’t well written but mainly because as an adult I would react to the situation much differently than if I was in Simon’s place. It was a struggle to remind myself that the characters were in high school and still figuring things out, but the highlight of this book was definitely the characters within said plot.

As a member of the queer community it is easy to understand Simon and his feelings about coming out and how he wants to do or not do it. One thing that really struck home was how Simon felt about coming out to his family.  He felt he shouldn’t have to. He wasn’t worried that they would disown him or anything horrible like that, but what he was worried about and didn’t want to deal with was that it would change who he was to his parents. To a teenager with a tight knit family that was a pretty horrible possibility. Simon just wants to be Simon. He believes it shouldn’t matter that no one else knows that he is gay, but what if other people knowing does matter and changes who he thinks he is. This kind of panic about identity and what it all means is something you don’t see very often delved into unless it is coated in layers of self-hatred and internalized homophobia. Simon’s worries and fear felt so real because he wasn’t hating himself for being gay, he wasn’t hating anything, he just didn’t want to have to make a proclamation about himself like it was a huge deal, it’s just who he was.

That leads to the next thing that stood out; a high school aged antagonist that was so believable and so amazingly hate-able. This rant will definitely edge into spoiler territory but I need to say this and get it out. The reason Martin as an antagonist really struck a chord was that he was so real. Stuff like this happens in high school all the time and those who act this way don’t always realize how bad it really is. The only thing that fell a little flat was the way the book seemed to beg for the reader to like Martin even after everything he put Simon through. It tried to make it clear that Martin was supposed to be this adorable idiot, but nothing that was said took away the fact that he knowingly black mailed a gay boy and then outed him when a girl didn’t like him back. He felt entitled to Abby’s affection because he liked her but when she didn’t like him back he punished Simon for something he couldn’t even control. This was a case of the author trying to redeem someone who didn’t deserve it. This was a case of wanting there to be no real “bad guys”, but that isn’t realistic. Human beings make mistakes and do crappy stuff, but what makes someone redeemable is what they do after to make amends. Martin was completely in the wrong and could have seriously ruined Simon’s life with what he did, but he “didn’t think it was a big deal” so it should be fine, but when it wasn’t fine he did nothing to really mend the situation with Simon. He apologized but in that same scene he tried to say how he was just as much of a victim, which invalidates the entire thing. Long rant short, Martin was a character that was set up to be hated or at the very least seriously disliked and then the reader is browbeat about how he really isn’t that bad of a guy. Even if it was true, we were only told that but never shown evidence of it.

Now moving on to the much more enjoyable topic of Blue. This is a character that we met entirely through emails with no face or description outside of his url and a vague description of a vague tumblr post. It was an ingenious way to have the readers fall in love with Blue in the exact same way Simon did; through words on a computer screen (or on the page in the reader’s case). There was some drama along the way but it didn’t have the same heavy feeling that typically comes with contemporary queer fiction.

The other characters are back ground players but they still endear you to Simon even more through his interactions with them. Leah, Nick, and Abby are entertaining and the story leaves you wanting to know more but it doesn’t feel unfinished because the story is Simon’s through and through.

Overall the book was entertaining and easy to get into and felt like a young adult romantic comedy that also had a happy helping of gay on top of that. The heavier notes hit well but didn’t overpower the comedy of the rest of the book.

Queer Wrap-up: This one is an easy tally. We have our loveable main character of Simon and his utter gayness. I don’t really count Blue because he isn’t explored as a character outside of the romance. I do wish I could give this book five unicorns, but the situation with Martin and how his arc was handled just rubbed me the wrong way and outside of Simon and Blue we have no other named established queer characters.

I am so glad I read this after hearing so much about it. I really did enjoy this book as a whole and was super stoked to see it had a sequel which I will be doing a review of as well, I will link it once it has been posted. If you have thoughts on the book please don’t hesitate to send me asks. I do plan on doing a comparison between the book and the movie and let me tell you, I have opinions so I am gonna hold off for now. As always if you want to read this but don’t want to spend the money without knowing for sure you are going to like it, go to your local library. You’d be surprised what they have on their shelves just waiting to be discovered. Trust me, I’m a lesbrarian.

Understand that my selectivity will depend on my comfort level and that I am not obligated to explain myself.

I tag all my threads as “thread”

I tag my partner’s url

if partner’s url changes, I will tag both old and new urls for the first response then only the new url going forward.

I generally tag triggers as “trigger tw”. same with general cw’s. i’m not the best with tagging, so let me know if I should watch for stuff in particular

my activity is generally a joke, but I’m constantly lurking, so feel free to drop a message

I am incredibly anxious. It doesn’t matter if we have late night conversations for like a month straight i will still be afraid to talk to you every. single. time. so always feel free to come whack me on the head or smth

while I can be very laid back / crack-ish, I do prefer to explore darker themes and my thread responses are much more serious than I come off as. 

Blacklisted / Ask to Tag:

food

nsfw (for general safe scrolling, just let me know what your tag is since t simply wont show not safe for wombats content anymore) 

“little space” related

“daddy,” “mommy,” etc

literally anything in this vein. in the vaguest, most removed sense. idc what you tag it. either let me know or just tag it “jade don’t look” whatever.

in fact feel free to tag any and all of these as just “jade don’t look” or some variant.

a/o/b related 

anything pregnancy related

vivid depiction of sensory / memory alteration (particularly in images, but not excluded to)

unreality (also especially, but not limited to, images)

Of course I can’t require people tag these, but I will most likely not follow you if your post these regularly and do not have some warning which will be picked up by blacklist applications.

In regards to the sensory alteration, I mean things like seeing/hearing/etc things that aren’t there, mis-remembering or outright tampering with memory, etc. It’s kind of situation to situation on what gets me, but when it does it tends to hit me pretty hard. If you have any questions about it, fire away! [ example text post ]

On unreality, this somewhat relates to the above, I use this as a catch all phrase for images, vivid descriptions, and most especially videos/gifs of things that basically don’t behave or seem to behave as they should. Sometimes, I’ve seen these things tagged as “trippy” and the like, but they those posts tend to be too…idk how to put it. Extra? What tends to get me is when things are going fairly linear and then suddenly go for a loop. That’s not the greatest description, but here’s a few posts that have triggered me the worst that I’ve slowly gotten used to.  There are also things which should seem fine or normal but aren’t. If anyone has a better description for this, by all means let me know! example posts [ one ] / [ two ] /  [ three ] + a weird image that also gets me for some reason. hmvent is actually a blog I use to store things that trigger me so I can slowly get used to them or try and figure out what it is / why these things get to me.

META 

Hayner is a young lad who resides in the sleepy Twilight Town. He is described as “impulsive and determined, and is always looking for a new adventure. He is bold to the point of recklessness…He gets bored easily during uneventful times… also easily angered/irked…thirsts for some kind of recognition…” During the events of KHII, he is 15, the same as Roxas/Sora. He has deep brown eyes, dirty blond hair and is a bit tall and, while still skinny, muscular for his age. He is the leader of his quartet trio including Pence, Olette and Roxas himself.

While he does have parents, he’s rather distant from them. While he does receive support from his folks, they were just never really there. Because of this, his loyalties lie greatly with his chosen family, his friends. He considers it his duty to help, lead and, if needed, protect them, even if he’d never admit as much even to himself. If any of his actions or ideas end up hurting someone he cares about, he takes it very much to heart, often beating himself up about it for weeks and weeks after.

Hayner, despite his hotheadedness and brashness, is a very observant leader. His tough guy act, while not entirely based on this, is partially to build himself up, make other less inclined to pick fights with him and his friends. Whether or not this works out, however, is certainly debatable. He also does his best to incorporate his friends’ wants and needs– or at least what he perceives these as– into his plans.

As oblivious as he may seem, he is quite mindful of the people around him. Whether it’s picking out the shady figure on that street corner or this one, or noticing some random kid’s not having a good day - he sees a lot of it, but often it doesn’t strike as a huge priority. He thinks things through a lot more than he’s credited for, but unfortunately, he doesn’t go through the whole process before starting his plan of action.

Hayner also isn’t exactly the most social person. He is outgoing and nice to people out of politeness and giving people the benefit of the doubt, but as a whole he’d much rather just stick with his friends. The only exception to this has been Sora, as he feels a “familiar vibe” about him, and therefore is also open to his circle of friends.

A couple more misc hcs below:

Is a very exceptional swordsman (at least with the training swords). However, his skills do not seem as outstanding compared to that of Roxas and other more major characters.

As much as he hates school, his best subject science. And although one would think he’d be a good athlete because he is competitive, he actually doesn’t have good PE grades because he doesn’t try if he doesn’t have to. The only way to get him to really participate is to make it a competition.

MORE WILL BE ADDED MARCH, 2019 TO INCLUDE SPOILERS FOR KH3

AU Info will be added shortly.

Yokai Watch News: Yokai Watch 4 & Forever Friends

The official websites have updated with new information again, and Corocoro has been released for this month as well.

So, as always I will translate and summarize the most notable news that have come out from this.

Beware of spoilers, naturally! 

--

This time around we got news about:

Yokai Watch 4

5th Yokai Watch Movie - Forever Friends

Merchandise

New Yokai for Puni Puni and World

This time around there won’t be much of Corocoro because for the most part the websites either updated with the same information, or there isn’t  much new info to begin with.

--

Yokai Watch 4 News:

Corocoro has released information about Yokai Watch 4, and the official website of the game has updated as well.

For the most part both of these just go over information that is evident from simply watching the trailer and the demo footage, both of which I have translated already.

That of course being showing off the new battle system and graphics, as well as the fact that yokai who appeared in the Shadowside anime will also appear in the game. All of these I feel are better understood by just watching the footage.

But the website does have this bit on changing playable characters that they spell out more clearly:

操作キャラクターをチェンジ！ Change Playable Characters!

プレイヤーが操作するキャラクターを ナツメから途中でトウマにチェンジ！ 操作キャラクターを变使することで、 入る場所や使えるウォッチが変わる！？ The playable character changed from Natsume to Touma along the way! When you switch between playable characters, the places you can enter and the Watch you use change!?

操作可能なキャラクターは 複数。 遊びの幅がグングン広がりそう！ There are multiple playable characters. The scale of the game keeps expanding!

To me, this doesn’t make it completely clear if you can change characters by choice, or if there is pre-determined instances when the switching occurs.

But based on the fact that it seems that there’s places exclusive to certain characters, and how changing characters worked in 3, I’m assuming you can change between available characters whenever you want? But you might need to be certain characters to advance the plot at points.

--

Yokai Watch Movie 5 News:

This month’s Corocoro has a section on Forever Friends, but it’s fairly short, and for the most part just goes over old information. For example, all the little descriptions next to the characters are just repeats from older issues, essentially.

These are the only truly new pieces of information out of it:

おなじみのエンマ大王に 重大なヒミツが！？ The Enma we're familiar with has an important secret?!

エンマ大王はシンたちの仲間ではなく、 敵として立ちはだかる！？ 真相は次号で判明だ！！ The Great King Enma stands before Shin and his friends, not as an ally, but as an enemy?! The truth will be revealed next issue!!

妖魔界を揺るがす戦い、そして- エンマ大王誕生の物語！！ A battle that shakes the Yōmakai, and - The Story of how the Great King Enma came to be!!

シンたちは妖魔界で次代のエンマ大王を決めるため開催される「エンマ武闘会」に参戦！！ ここで世界を支配しようと企む悪の妖怪と対決することに。 猫又たちの大暴れを見逃すな！！ In the Yōmakai, Shin and his friends participate in the "Enma Butōkai", which is held to determine the next Great King Enma!! There they confront evil yokai who plot to take over the world. Don't miss the great rampage of Nekomata and the others!!

-

Note that Cocoro also currently features the manga adaptation of this upcoming movie, though from what I hear it’s like the previous one, so it will be a fairly condensed, shortened version of the story.

I’ve not seen anyone post full scans of the manga chapters, which is understandable, but this image has been making the rounds, featuring a new character who could presumably show up on the full movie as well:

His name is 紫炎/Shien, which is written with the kanji for “purple” and “blaze”, and the caption informs us that he is a candidate for becoming the next Great King Enma.

Now, while this isn’t much info, the new merchandise I am about to go over is all tied to the movie as well.

--

Yokai Watch Merchandise News:

First of all, the official website for the 5th movie has updated to feature the winner of the Yokai Ark Design Contest, where children where supposed to draw an Ark design, featuring their favorite yokai together with Nekomata.

And the winning design is the one that will be turned into an actual Ark:

However, there is various lesser prices as well, which I have gone over before, and various magazines will gradually reveal the rest of the winners.

-

Next up, the b-boys website has updated with two more toy sets that are coming up.

First is the “DX Yokai Watch Elda Zero & Jin Power-up Kit”.

This entire kit will be released in December and will cost 2400 Yen.

It comes with two new covers one can attach to their Yokai Watch Elda (sold seperately) to give it either the “Zero” or “Jin” look:

Adding to that, this banner here talks about how one will be able to download update data for the Yokai Watch Elda, to get it up to speed:

The URL listed there will supposedly provide additional information on how to update the Elda, but as of right now it doesn’t seem to go anywhere.

Also, this kit will come with a new Yokai Ark, the first Ultimate Rare Rank, which had previously been listed as the rarest possible rank. (Though I wouldn’t wonder if they introduce better ones eventually.)

The yokai on this Ark is called “Ame no Murakumo”, which seems to be derived from ”Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi”, the original name of the legendary sword Kusanagi.

I also want to point out that Ame no Murakumo seems to bear more than a passing resemblance to Sū-san, who was also suspiciously not given a “Godside” form in last month’s issue of Corocoro, leading me to believe the two are the same character, but that is just me speculating.

I dunno, what do you think?

-

Next is a new toy set called the “DX Enma Rod”, though note that “Enma” here is written with the kanji 炎/En (”blaze”), rather than the 閻/En from Enma’s name.

This set will be released in November and cost 4800 yen.

It’s this toy weapon:

The light in its center, called an “Oni Face” here, is said to be able to glow in 7 colors, though they only show five here:

The set also includes a special “Ryūtō Yokai Ark” that can be used with the toy:

“Ryūtō“ would literally translate to “dragon light”, and from what I gather, it refers to mysterious lights, similar to will-o'-wisps, that can sometimes be seen at sea. It’s also written with the exact same kanji as the Chinese word “lóngdēng”, which refers to dragon-shaped lanters.

The two sides are called “龍燈羅雪” and “龍燈紅華”, but I don’t know what the correct pronounciation of them is. I’m going with “Ryūtō Rasetsu” and “Ryūtō Kōka” right now, but they could be wrong.

EDIT: “Ryūtō Rasetsu” is correct, but “Ryūtō Kōka” is wrong, it should be “Ryūtō Benibana” .

This graphic depicts the different play functions:

The first, labelled with “1″, shows the way you’re supposed to summon the “dragons of fire and ice”, so, the dragon depicted on the Ark.

It’s as simple as turning the Ark to the left for the ice dragon, and to the right for the fire dragon. After turning the Ark, the toy will play a different tune depending on the dragon, and then pushing the trigger will “summon” the dragon of your choice.

The second, labelled with “2″ is the fact that the light will turn into different colors and play different sounds depending on how long and often you push the trigger.

What’s interesting is this part:

This part mentions that you can use other Arks too, who have a different sound, but it also mentions a “Yasha Enma”, without explaining who or what that actually is.

It’s also said that the Ryūtō Yokai Arks can be used with the Yokai Watch Elda, too.

-

And one last merchcandise thing, Corocoro teases that in their next issue they will reveal/talk about a “Yokai Ark Movie Special Pack”, which based on its name I am just going to assume will be a Yokai Ark pack with Arks specifically based on yokai from the movie?

--

Yokai Watch Mobile Games News:

This is going to be brief, since it’s just new yokai that were announced.

First off, Yokai Watch Puni Puni has a new event, which has already started as of the writing of this post, I believe.

It celebrates the game’s 3rd Anniversary, and adds new crossover characters with other notable franchises of Level-5, as well as Shadowside Hi no Shin/Hinozall:

-

And finally, Corocoro has shown off various Halloween-themed yokai variants that are coming to Yokai Watch World.

They’re Majokko Fubuki-hime, Trick Hikikōmori, 8-tōjin Hallowhis, Horror Orochi, Vampire Kyūbi, and Halloween Jibanyan.

The event will start on the 22nd, but of course this game can only be played in Japan.

And that’s it for the notable news from this month so far, I hope you found this helpful and/or interesting!

my url? <8)

hohhhhh, Lucian as a mun is so warm and charming, in a funny way to boot. Really, I could tell right away that you would be the type not to judge, and to be okay with- just a matter of letting myself get used to u. I followed way before i had character context cause I knew the spoilers would matter to me Later, and all of what i just mentioned combined. Really, anything that you put out, whether narrative or OOC is just so....concise? Not necessarily short, but it hits me w/ such a good shot of YOU GET IT...like, there’s no pressure here. Course, that kinda thing and others does naturally make me worry sometimes, mostly that you’re well and good. Guess that’s natural though, because you’re very kind and attentive yourself. But of course I am getting quite comfortable w/ you so yippee! Defo count yourself in as not only someone who’s helped my mental health the past few months, but produces bomb-ass content blogwise as well.

as for Volo himself, i am stuck between the usual brainrot and.....not? knowing what to think of him? He’s written so well and entertaining that I’m guilty of being just a watcher- perhaps the hesitation is more on an IC scale since idk what kinda commitment i wanna sink into. that’s on me for not plotting, i’ve been a lil passive lately due to a combo of nerves and physical health... and ofc many possibilities, that sets off my executive dysfunction thus far as choosing.

more or less though, So far from what I’ve seen, this portrayal of Volo is most like Felix-muse. Some of the same logic and problems, with only a key point of difference in how best they want to solve said problem. Different solutions. Largely regarding the value and potential of the world around them- but they’d agree that shit sucks and needs to change, idk. probs instance of playing around ic wise and just seeing what happens;;;; there could be much more but aaaahhhh.

for now IC wise (or so far?), this puts Felix-muse in a limbo of fear.png:

💞: Feels attracted to them, but can’t work out if it’s platonic, sexual, or romantic attraction they’re feeling.

just kinda goofing and prancing about in mock skittishness and mystery. thus far as unique intent (there’s negative feels too but that’s for like, Any Volo because hindsight flashbacks.)

[dragonofyang]

why r u called dragon or yang if ur white? not trying to be aggressive but like if those r names u chose for urself u might wanna check that white privilege

I appreciate that you’re not trying to be aggressive, but I think you and I need to have a frank conversation about the assumptions made in this ask and nature of the question you are asking me.

My response is under the cut (sorry mobile peeps, I have a lot to say)

I think the biggest thing I have to address before I get into the history and semantics of my url is that first and foremost, I am not 100% white, anon. I’m white-passing, so I understand the confusion, especially since I’ve only recently taken to using my own face as my icon instead of art. I don’t fault you for that, since cameras historically have been machinated to function and read pale skin better and the lighting I have in my icon and the header image of my blog when you view it from the dashboard helps wash my skin out. Color and light theory work against showing my skin tone a lot of times, so unless I’m in direct sunlight wearing things that bring the color balance of a photo to black, I’ll look white, especially if it’s been a while since I’ve gotten any substantial sunlight. That said, I do experience a very conditional privilege as a white-passing person, but my passing is entirely dependent on how I as a person am read by other people. I have had everything from “hey you’re exotic [because of your race]” to “oh hello fellow person of my ethnicity” and been racially profiled by the police despite having security clearance at my place of work. Somewhere there’s two photos of me with my mom’s and dad’s sides of the family respectively and I’m either the darkest child in that photo or the lightest one. That holds true even now as a young adult, I’m almost always whiter than any Latinx people I know and at least have more saturated color in my skin than any white people I know. That’s all IRL, though. Online, I can easily just state my ethnicity if I choose to and people accept it, because the internet is a great equalizer in terms of first impressions. It’s not my skin or my voice or how my eyes are too light to belong to a Latina girl, it’s the words I use and I am judged by my character rather than the race somebody thinks I am. That said, this is the first time somebody’s assumed my ethnicity online, which is why I’m taking the time to reply to this the way that I am, anon, because I feel this could be a beneficial experience to you and to other mixed people out there who face the same questions and accusations and assumptions as I do. I am too white and too dark, I am commodified as exotic and therefore sexy to some, I’m “one of the good ones”, I have been asked if I wear color contacts (I don’t, but that’s a surprise to far too many people), I have a running list on countries/ethnicities people have guessed because they think they can pin down exactly where I am from (spoiler, I was born in the USA). Fundamentally, I am not white, but I can seem like it. I can be as affable as a proper Midwest-raised girl can be, but that doesn’t change that when people say “all the Mexicans should go back where they came from” they are speaking about me as well. They just don’t realize it. It’s not their fault that they don’t know my ethnicity, just as it’s not yours, but it doesn’t change the fact that assumptions can breed danger for me, because now if I don’t act correctly, I could become a target for racially-fueled vitriol or sexual harassment. Again, it’s not inherently your fault for assuming that you knew my ethnicity, but I strongly recommend you do not do this in the future to me or anybody in your life. If there is someone in your life who does not mind answering such questions, then speak with them, and my inbox/IM is always open to discuss things off anon if you have further questions.

Now that that’s out of the way, I’m going to address your primary question: “why r u dragon or yang”. I’m guessing that you meant to type “of” instead of “or”, but just in case you meant “or” that’s what this paragraph is going to address. Dragons are not culturally or ethnically closed mythical beasts the way that the Native American Thunderbird is or how Hinduism is a closed religion. Dragons and other great serpents have existed as a concept pretty much everywhere humans have, and I have a very close spiritual tie to dragons and commune with them whenever I partake in my witchcraft.

That said, “dragonofyang” is a username I’ve used for the past 10-ish years, originally stemming from when I joined DeviantART at the age of 13. I’ve since deactivated the account since I hadn’t touched it in over five years, but when I joined, I was taking my first forays into paganism and was absolutely blown away by the gods, the concept of the five elements, spells, how the yin and yang symbolized balance and how it wasn’t just a religious concept but a way of life. On that site I took my first forays into Wicca and spoke with many witches, all of whom encouraged me to explore my spirituality and taught me many things about safety in practice, stealthing to avoid judgment by closed-minded religious folks, and how enriching it is to have a personal or working relationship with a pantheon or single deity/spirit guide. If I’m being perfectly honest, it’s also a remnant of my edgy phase because I really wanted the username “DragonofDarkness” but that as you can guess was taken already, but in my research to find something that described my new phase in life I got very deep into the symbolism of yin and yang, at least as deep as a 13-year-old with limited internet knowledge could get. Yang is the bright, it’s the bold, it’s the daytime and it harbors a bit of cold, of dark, of nighttime within it, but that makes it richer. Ever since I was little I’ve always been fascinated by magic, and this was a new take on how the world worked that my little kid mind was just blown away. Naturally, being a bit of an edgelord, I misunderstood it as a principle and focused on how deep and dark I really was underneath, ya know, typical 3edgy5me shit, but as I’ve grown, I’ve come to accept that yeah there’s some shit in my life that hurt me or was bad, it doesn’t overshadow the good and I’ve stopped trying to be an asshole because that’s actually not as cool or deep as people try to make it. I look at my username and I see how I’ve grown as a person, from somebody who doesn’t understand the concept of balance very well or where my spiritual journey would take me and I look at myself now as somebody who’s made but a few steps further in the road to life. I look at my username and remember that yang means the sun, the light and that without the yin, growth would not have happened.

My username also has some ties to my current spiritual practice, though less overt, because my patron deity is the dragon god Quetzalcoatl. Dragons in Mexico represent the sun, and jaguars represent the night, and in my practice, both dragons and jaguars have made themselves apparent to me, and in a sense they balance each other out in a way similar to the yin-yang symbol. I felt the call to Quetzalcoatl about six years ago now and I have much to learn from him still, but he’s continued to teach me about balance, in the day and night, in the human and the animal, in the violent and the peaceful. I’ve come a long way from being some edgy 13-year-old kid, thankfully, but I know my journey isn’t over.

That being said, if my username is offensive and a misuse of a Taoist symbol (such as if it’s a closed religion and use of its symbols when you aren’t initiated is offensive), I’d like to speak with Taoists directly and learn how and why so that I might not offend in the future, especially since I’m unsure if Dao jiao/Dao jia are closed a religion/philosophy. But it’s also been my online name for 10 years now and I’d have to change it on many platforms in order to fully rescind my offense, and if possible I’d like that sort of change to be as unobtrusive as possible because many people know me primarily or exclusively by this username. So unless I come to a point personally where I feel my username no longer suits me, or my ignorance addressed by those more educated than I, I will be keeping it. I am not the most educated person on the internet, and my resources are sometimes limited in terms of educating myself properly, so if there is something I am to learn then I request that I be taught. I am always willing to learn and better myself as a person.

Rayonfrozenwings Masterlist and Explanation.

Updated 16th September 2018.

::: Find the list below the intro:::

:: Intro ::    

These Fan theories have been released from after EOS as that is when I joined Tumblr, I lurked for a long time in the fandom, only liking and not re-blogging, then I started adding comments to other people’s posts, eventually re-blogging them. I was a serial lurker. haha. There is some amazing theories out there especially if you look for ‘tog6 theory’ in the fandom on older blogs - a time before we knew “Tower of Dawn” was going to be a full book. 

I have tried to source other Url’s in my theories if I expand on a point or want to give credit for the fact that they also had this type of theory, coz it's not cool to take other peoples ideas if you know they are out there (same ideas unknowingly being shared are ok because we can draw the same conclusions - I’m just sharing how I work and I like to give credit where it is due).  

As different books came out my theories changed.

As I re-read for the third or fourth time, my theories changed.

Some of my Theories I like.

Some I have drifted away from, like a friend you no longer see because you’re too busy.

Some I think might still be valid - if only a small proportion of them.

I write theories with an open mind. I put them out into the world with the hope that people will discuss them with me when I do that. Some of my theories weren’t really seen by others because I was/am a small blog and I’m ok with that. And some theories blew up because a few big blogs shared it and i’m ok with that too.

If you disagree with the Erilea post I have written, I keep an open mind to all possibilities.

And The reason I choose not to fully believe SJM’s tweet about ACOTAR and TOG being linked is because of three reasons. The first is that she said they could live in the same multi-verse (so a “sliders” style parallel universe perhaps?). The Second is that she used a winky face! A winky face in the tweet. What does that mean!!!! And the Third is that I read another book series by Terry Brooks and he said his series were not linked for the longest time. Then years later he said -oh yeah, they are linked and this series is kinda a prequel but I couldn’t tell you that at the time, because “spoilers”. And I think Sarah would twist the truth to keep us from looking too closely and ruining our own enjoyment of her books. Also it is just a theory. Does it really matter? Pretend its an AU type of thing :P.

However some of them I really really am invested in (e.g. my Truth Teller theory because it just feels so right to me and the Weavers Lament because it feels right too). And I just really really want to be told that I have something right!

::So without further ado ::

I’m making a Masterlist of my work. Mostly Theory but I dabbled in some fic writing as well, it just depends on my mood. So I have also included some of those pieces. Theories tend to come thick and fast when a new book is released and discussed. Or when we all re-read before the next book comes out - as you will see by my published dates. Have a browse - I’ve left the this as Url’s rather than hyperlinks because it makes it easier for me to keep track of what I do and don’t have listed. I may change it later if I feel like it. :D

I hope I found everything, sifting through my long ass blog is annoying.

*** THIS IS NOT SPOILER FREE: I AM CURRENTLY UP TO DATE WITH ALL SJM’s BOOK RELEASES (except Kingdom of Ash - as it hasn’t come out yet). I TALK ABOUT BOTH SERIES IN POSTS. IF YOU HAVE ONLY READ ONE SERIES I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE THEORY WILL BE SPOILER FREE FOR THE OTHER ONE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE CROSSOVER THEORIES. ***

https://rayonfrozenwings.tumblr.com/post/166565225118/erilea

A Theory about a possible crossover of Erilea and Prythian..

Have a look at the gif I made to see if you want to read it... >.<

Some of my Older Theories below have the assumption that ACOTAR is based on a bible based world or at least some of the characters are. However my thoughts have changed since writing these theories. I didn’t understand how much from all mythologies and religions around the world cross-over, so It's possible this is still true, or that SJM drew some ideas from it; but it's equally possible that she drew from greek/ roman/ norse/ egyptian/ jewish/ christian / folk tales etc etc. it is very hard when theory is an ever evolving process involving lots of discussion and viewpoints. So I still love these theories but I do recognise that anything is possible. Also comparative theology would be freaking amazing to study and I kind of wish I was still at uni.
