#dorm manager

[nightwalker6200]

Fucccckkkkkk it’s happening!!! Hirano is figuring it out! The way he looks for Kagi while playing and the smile on his face is the same from the first chapter with Kagi looking for him and smiling when he sees Hirano!!!!! And Hirano wants Kagi to touch himmmmmmmmm 😭😭😭😭

I also think that by the time Hirano and Kagi get together, Hanzawa will play a big part in sorting out their feelings and pushing each other towards one another. I believe he is currently trying to figure his situation out with his brother so that’s why he’s harsh.

Bring Ichinose and DM in again!!!! And I have to see Ogasawara’s older brother and Hanzawa’s older brother together because EVERYONE in the two households think they are dating as they’ve been friends forever!!!!! Shouuuuuuuuu please

[totallyexhausted]

Hirano finally agreed to go on a non-date date, and Kagiura is ecstatic. However, the day of their “date,” Kagiura wakes up sick. He’s scared Hirano wouldnt give him another chance and decides to choke down meds, convincing his roommate he’s fine, he’s just excited for their date.

As the date/ day unfolds, Hirano keeps giving him weird looks and asking if Kagi is okay as the younger tries keeping his energy up and convince Hirano he’s fine. Halfway through the date, Hirano figures it out (maybe Kagi almost passes out or pukes) and scolds the younger, cutting their date short and dragging/ shoving the younger back to their dorm room. Kagiura getting increasingly worse, apologizing over and over, getting emotional when Hirano asks why he was such an idiot! Kagiura almost in tears as he was so excited that Hirano finally agreed to go out with him and didn’t want to ruin it on the off-chance that the older wouldn’t give him another shot. Hirano getting mad but feeling bad because if he knew Kagiura was sick, he would have suggested a different date…

Maybe Hirano saying that if Kagiura wanted to view him as boyfriend material, that meant telling each other when they weren’t feeling well and taking care of each other. Besides, dates were just people spending time together and therefore, by Hirano taking care of Kagiura and them still spending time together, they were still on their date. Hirano being soft after he realized Kagiura thought he wouldn’t give him another chance, sticking next to the younger while he slept, tending to his fever, etc…. Maybe they eat in the room together again 😊😊😊

Sooo having thoughts. I love Ao design so sm and they're pretty charming the few times we see them. Though I'm kinda concerned on where the author may be taking him and the dorm manager? Like, from what I understand the dorm manager is likely an adult and Ao is still in hs. I hope it ends up just something maybe wholesome and unrequited (obviously on ichinose side) and maybe a more me tor like relationship is focused, but I have trust issues with manga and its sometimes concerning tropes. Idk maybe I'm paranoid, but I find kinda concerning.

The dynamic I'm applying to them rn ☠️ excuse the handwriting idk what happened

Ichinose is saying in the first picture:

It's just, when he smiles I get really happy and he's really cute and has a nice voice and he's also really nice did I mention?

Sketches of my two faves 🙏🙏 can’t wait to see how their relationship progresses

Small research/tests for a series of posts I want to do sometime in the future hehee

(I want to give/attribue a piece of classical music for each dorm+characters, and it's harder than I thought it would be, currently fighting w/ the savanaclaw guys... )

HEY YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH OK???@raytheanarchive @kazuww00🫵🫵🫵💥💥💥

It’s been such a long time that I’ve wanted to draw Yuuza and Yuume!!! Your OCs are so incredible and extraordinary, seeing them always puts a big smile on my face!!!

Every time I see Yuuza and Yuume (or even your other OCs in general BECAUSE THEY’RE AMAZING AAAA!!!🗣️🗣️🗣️💖

VIGIL!!! THAT LITTLE GUY!!!I HE’S MY FAVORITE TWST OC EVER FR!!!🦅💥🦅💥🦅💥🦅

AND KAZ!!! THAT INCREDIBLE AND ADORABLE GIRL RAAAAAH I LOVE HER SM🐙💥🐙💥🐙💥🐙

I SCREAM EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR OCS OK???🫵💕

I’M THEIR NUMBER ONE FAN, ZEHCJZEBCJZBKJZBC!!!💥💥💥💕💕💕)

I literally leap out of my chair, super excited, screaming, "OMG OMG CONTENT FROM THESE TWO AMAZING ARTISTS I LOVE YAYAYAYAY!!!"(/≧▽≦)/ (❤️´艸｀❤️)

Ahem! Pardon me, I got a little carried away.🧃

So… originally, I was planning to write a love letter/j individual message for both of you explaining just how amazing you are, how much I adore interacting with you because I find you fun and incredible, and how I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that, YOU, such wonderful people follow what I do and, on top of that, actually like my work. Every time I see your likes and your kind, sweet comments, it fills my heart with so much joy, and I get so emotional.💌💌💌🌹

But I know that if I did that (writing a whole novel about how much I appreciate you), it would end up being so long that I’d need to start a second blog hehe.

So, I hope these little gifts can show you how much I adore you, and even though we don’t interact very often, you hold a special place in my little heart. ❤️💖💖💖💌💌💌

I love this event already, all their goodbyes are so silly. Good luck pulling for the cards guys!!!

Bonus: my favorite goodbye scene

He's just so silly. You're not leaving your wife and going to war Rook (...unless?)

The overworked moms ghouls trio, on their way to go bar-hopping and taste-testing new liquors outside Darkwick :)

(because the dads and the children have stressed them enough today that they decided to hold the drinking session in places faraway from home oops)

Putting the silliness aside... if we only consider the different backgrounds and personalities, these trio are actually quite an unusual housewife friend group 🤔

Not counting the fact they entered Darkwick on the same year and knew each other's name during The Weighing of Souls... when and where they first actually meet and get to know each other? I can only think of them getting assigned to a mission together and it ended with a success, thus a celebratory drink in a bar somewhere outside Darkwick? And maybe as they spent time sharing alcohol and chatting with each other, they eventually also bonded through their similar experiences as people who always end up dealing with troubles happening inside their dorms 💭

(Speaking of "people who always end up dealing with troubles happening inside their dorms", there are two certain vice-captains that also fit this criteria... makes me wonder if they also used to be part of this friend group before The Clash and the whole spy shenanigans fucked up relationships among some ghouls)

i'm convinced that people who can take full showers in less than 15 minutes aren't washing properly

Miyano: Ugh, Kuresawa won't stop talking about his girlfriend. Tashiro: Kind of like how you won't stop talking about Sasaki... Kagiura, walking past: Or how you won't stop talking about girls... Hanzawa: Or how you won't stop talking about Hirano? Sasaki: Or how you won't stop talking about everyone's business? Hirano: Or how you won't stop talking about Miyano? Ogasawara: Or how you won't stop talking about your roommate? Miyano again: Or how you won't stop talking about your girlfriend? Ichinose, peeking inside the classroom: Hey!!! Keep it down, I'm trying to study! Also... no one's talking about me, but they should be!

[totallyexhausted]

Wondering if we will get to a point in HtK, where Kagiura gets so exhausted/ rundown from exams and basketball that he just starts falling asleep doing stupid things like eating or changing clothes or something. Like Hirano told him to change, but Kagis too tired and that sounds even more exhausting, so Hirano groans and then helps him change or Kagi leans his head on Hirano’s shoulder again or actually does the lap thing and instantly falls asleep and Hirano just leaves him there until he wakes up…

Organization Tip

Manageable Chaos & Maintainable Entropy

There was a point when no matter how many times I organize and and declutter and deep clean my room, it would just go back to being messy. It was a cycle of perfectly organized and unbearably chaotic with no in-between. That's when I found this idea, borrowing some Physics concepts (for I am a Physicist, through and through)

The key is finding the balance between:

Maintainable entropy: No matter how neat and perfectly organized you set your desk/room up, it always gets a little messy in 2-3 days. When you use your space, when you work with your things, it is bound to get disordered. And that's your maintainable entropy (a.k.a measure of disorder). You don't have to keep your space perfectly organized, just maintain it at this level of entropy. It's unrealistic to live in a room and maintain it like nobody touches anything. So embrace the entropy!

Manageable chaos: This is the maximum level of 'mess' that you can work with. How messy can your room get before it affects your mood or productivity. This is often less than the level where you can't even sit/sleep in your room without nudging away things - that's beyond your workable level. That is your manageable chaos. So find that level and when you seem to cross it, organize your room immediately. If it's within your level, and you have time, organize; if you don't have time, just maintain at that level and organize as soon as you get time.

When you try to keep everything pristine and perfect, you get too tired. And that's when the mess builds up and chaos reigns!

Perfection is the enemy of done.

So if you maintain your room in the maintainable entropy level, and keep it under your manageable level of chaos - your room will be consistently organized and neat! 🌻

Lol. Lol. Lol.

Hello!! I'm in love with your artstyle (especially the way you did the signature spells??? I've been looking at them for a while adsgfdfsf, they look like movie posters tbh and that's fricking cool to me. anyway!! I'm a player on the NA server (btw, I've already seen spoilers of chap 7 due to tumblr/reddit/pinterest, so yeah it's not the most spoiled I've ever been so yea) and yeah. I'm getting through the story okay but do you have any advice for people trying to get through certain events with a more limited life schedule??? Also, what are some of the differences that you notice between the english (if you see a lot of it??) and Japanese versions of the game? sorry if this was a longer ask, i tried to be simple but i wanted to tell you that I loved your art and everything just spiraled AAAAAAH

thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ I've been surprised by how many people really like my posters -- it's kind of a weird style to do fanart in, I guess, but I'm glad other people think it's cool too! :D

(gonna answer out of order because the event stuff turned into a huge block of text, sorry!)

I've seen a few of the localizations, but I don't know a lot about the Eng version, so I can't speak too much about differences. (I do think "housewarden" has a better sound to it than "dorm leader" though...they need a fancy little word to match their fancy little outfits.) I did look up the unique magic/signature spells to see if they were able to somehow work in the glossing -- I'm not even sure how you would localize that without it being super weird, so I don't blame them, but I was a little sad anyway! :( in Japanese, they're all written as Japanese phrases with the English as ruby text, and sometimes they're given a little extra meaning. like -- this is where the episode 7 spoilers I'm tagging are) the words that Mal says are "Fae of Maleficence":

but the meaning of the Japanese is "Blessing", which is a nice little "ooooh" moment given the context of it!

there isn't always an extra meaning, sometimes it's just. super literal. but my other favorite is Jack's, where what he means is "✨howl that pierces the moonlit night✨", but what he actually yells is "UNLEASH BEAST" before turning into a giant dog. what a good boy.

as for event advice (under the cut, because this was already getting long)...

speaking as someone who is 100% F2P and therefore also tends to get kind of burnt by some of these events -- the #1 most important thing is to just...make peace with not getting everyone. :') I am a collector-type person, so it definitely gets grating when I can't have all the fancy PNGs my little packrat heart desires. generally though: never do random pulls, always be saving your keys and gems between events. (once a month you can buy a 10-set from Sam for a 50 gem discount, and logging in on a character's birthday will give you a 10-set for free, so make sure to do those!). when the event info starts coming out, pick one or two cards that you really want and work specifically towards those, focusing on grinding out the items and/or using your saved-up pulls on their specific banner. and in the end, accept that it might just not be meant to be, even if you hit the 100-pull pity SSR no I'm not still bitter over fairy gala Ortho why do you ask. if the event doesn't have any cards that you really want, take it as an opportunity to save for the next one!

hoard your star fragments (the things that restore AP) -- if you're going for a card that requires grinding event items to permanently unlock, and the item is one you get from lessons, you can use star fragments to bump your AP up to 30 at a time (10 is the limit that will restore over time, but 30 is the max you can have at once). that makes for a looong lesson loop, but I usually get about 50-60 items per 30 lessons, and I just let it run in the background while doing other stuff. (usually these items are what also unlock the event story, so I'll do a huge amount of lessons first thing and then have enough to get the whole story at once. 👍) it can get really grindy, but events go on for a while so it's not usually that bad if you space it out a bit, instead of waiting until the last minute to try and get those last 600 items (cough) (cough).

if it's one of the ones where you get the item from doing a rhythmic, you get the same amount of items no matter how well you do, even if you miss every note. so you can just...tap occasionally to restart it and get the same effect. if it's a battle one, you do have to actually win to get the item, but once you figure out the sweet spot of a team setup + highest battle level where you win every time, it becomes basically the same deal.

so...yeah, tl;dr you can get away with a lot just by setting things up to run in the background and paying just enough attention to tap through some of the menus. it does require a certain amount of time to just leave your phone while still sorta-kinda paying attention to it, so it might not work for everyone, but that's the best way I've found to get through most events!
