Color Cards for sale
Or: Custom nails!
There's now an updated post with more color cards here!
Want some professional looking stick/glue-on nails on a budget for yourself or someone else? Since I am still unemployed and my wife makes these stunning creations as art therapy, we're looking to sell them to keep us afloat and do things like buy food until I have a new job. (She already owned all the nail stuff.) So, if you want a set of truly gorgeous nails, take a look and contact me here or on that one chat app starting with a 'D' where I am also sl_walker.
Nails will be sent in a padded envelope with cardboard to protect them, though I might clip the longer color cards in two for mailing. Shipping is free! Probably you'll also get a handwritten note and maybe even a sketch from me. Several of these nail sets are three hours or more of work! And as you can see, they really are beautiful. Just ignore my very amateur photography, Tumblr's assholish image compression and the occasional cat hair. I promise I won't send any kitty dna with the nails. And you can also contact me and ask me for a set of pics emailed without compression.
As they're sold, I'll update this post by striking those through! And YES! SHE DOES CUSTOMS! If you want a custom color card (or loose nails once you know your sizes! I'll try to write the sizes on the color cards when I can see them), just contact me with a description and we'll let you know if she's able to do it. She can do cat meme nails, no joke. Or like-- fandom themed. So please do feel free to ask after that.
Also, if you request it, I'll throw in a little tube of nail glue, too.
1.) Autumn's Coming - $40
Stunning set of thirty nails, which means that you'll be able to find your exact size, but you might be able to wear a couple different sizes and have nails enough for two sets, too! Amidst the gorgeous fall-themed colors, you have cats eye magnetic metallic nails, plain color, blossom decals and a gorgeous coppery metallic crackle. They're shorter and with a blunt tip; in fact, I'm wearing a set right now, albeit in a different color theme.
2.) Midcentury Modern - $26 (sold!)
A fun and lively set of thirty nails, including three half-sizes for more granular sizing. These stand out with flat orange and teal meeting beautiful holos in turquoise, navy, red-orange and orange! These have a sharper tip and look elegant as hell, no joke. Great for anyone who really wants to draw people's eyes to their hands or, if you're like me, just stand under bright light and stare at how pretty they are.
3.) Good Omens - $30
This is a set of thirty nails. My wife's a huge fan of Sir Terry (sorry about the other guy) and so she came up with a Good Omens set! The red is metallic and magnetic cats eye with silver and white decals, while the white nails are themed in gold. I can definitely attest to how pretty these are, since she also made me a set of my own; I'm wearing them as I type (badly because I'm not used to wearing nails) and they're pretty enough for me to learn how to type with nail tips. LOL! She said to warn whoever bought them that she had to glue one back to the card. Sorry about that! It doesn't affect the nail itself.
4.) Thinking of Spring - $36
Another set of thirty, this time more spring-themed! With some popping magnetic metallic green cats eyes interpersed with some softer pink/orange metallic magnetic starbursts, cats eye and be-dazzled, you also have the lovely decals adorning the white nails, too. This is another beautiful set that reflects a similar quality to the autumn themed nails.
5.) Dusky - $26
A set of thirty, these are relatively simple by comparison: Done in a dusky metallic magnetic cats eye on one side and a brilliant, eyepopping holo on the other, they're classy and beautiful.
6.) Better Call Prince - $24
This fun set of twenty-four is absolutely sparkly; with metallic purple on one side and purple holo on the other, all of them also have holographic decals on them! They're busy, but if you're a redneck like me (or just really love sparkly things!) they'll make you oooh when you see them live!
7.) Pride - $18
This is a set of twenty-four. My wife actually made these for me, but they're too long for me. But boy, they sure are pretty. With the silver cats eye magnetic metallic on one side and the glittery rainbow on the other, this is a great set for you if you want something pretty with a relatively low price-tag!
8.) The Art of Subtlety - $18
This set of twenty-four is actually more gorgeous the brighter the light. All one set, all the same, these beautiful cats eyes in a sedate blue actually have a subtle holo effect on top of the loveliness that is that magnetic metallic polish; I wasn't able to capture it, but it's there! These are great for business people who like to have pretty nails to tap on a table top as illustration for their annoyance while still having that whimsical underlying hint of color.
9.) Slightly Better Than Business Casual - $16
This set of twenty-four is what my wife calls 'scratch and dent', not because they aren't pretty, but because there are a few minor flaws in the finish of the tips on the teal side. Despite that, they're a damn pretty set and will feed the cats for a few days!
10.) Where There's Smoke - $26
The first set of matte nails on offer! This set of thirty (eleven regular, three half-sizes) is three different shades of matte gray, one more silvery/metallic and two more literally smoke-colored. Perfect for someone looking for that bit of elegance, no reflective topcoat necessary!
#custom nails#aka: help steff and erin buy groceries#please feel free to signal boost!#these are great for whomever might be interested in like--#salon-looking nails for much cheaper prices#snap them off#clean up the tips with a nail clipper#glue them on#mine look amazing

Do you have any nsfw headcanons for Mori x Kyoya... based on your earlier nsfw headcanon post I think their sexual dynamic would be really interesting
Okay! MoriKyo is close to my heart, and I wish we had more content for them - both sfw and nsfw, so I'll do a few headcanons for each.
SFW
The most drama-free pairing in the entire host club - the entire series. They settled into cute domesticity so quickly, and they both have the emotional intelligence to sort things out without the huge dramatics. They're already an old married couple.
Mori loves picking bouquets for Kyoya when he goes hiking. Sometimes, however, he doesn't know when to say enough is enough, and so every available surface of the apartment gets covered in vases of flowers.
Honeymoon period? More like honeymoon relationship. They never really lull when it comes to physical or spoken signs of affection. Anyone who doesn't know them is going to assume their a new couple - even nearly 10 years into their relationship like my wife and I
Would probably get married the quickest of any couple in the host club. Not only do they love each other and are just generally really compatible, but their families are more than happy with the match! The Ootori's are such a powerful family, and the Morinozuka's are great allies - especially as they usually come with the Haninozuka's as a buy-1-get-1-free sort of deal.
Prefer to stay in for dates, as opposed to going out. They like curling up with a movie, or reading together, or just talking. They're still making time for each other without work, so it is still totally a date.
NSFW
Mori's favourite thing is hearing Kyoya in the midst of pleasure. His keens and moans, the half-demands for more that just come out as whines and begging. The loves his serious, near-stoic boyfriend being so loud and wanting.
Kyoya loves how easily Mori could overpower him. He puts up a playful little fight sometimes, just to feel bruising around his wrists and a large hand around his throat. It's too good to fight back anymore after that, however, and so he's left grinding up against whatever part of the other man he can get to - his thigh, his hip, his abs...
I think a big kink of theirs would be pet play, Kyoya being the cutest kitten for his loving owner. Mori's natural service top manner really comes out with that sort of scene, giving his sweet pet treats and letting Kyoya rest in his lap and on top of him.
Despite deeply respecting each other and their schedules, knowing they have time-sensitive deadlines and need the most respect from those around them... these horny fucks are both the type to send each other lewd stuff while working. It doesn't even have to be full sexting or nudes, just little suggestive things.
Although, Mori has opened a voice note in a meeting and has thrown his phone across the room as a moan echoed from it. Yep, just like the meme. Hikaru showed the meme to Kyoya and the little shit was curious as to what Mori would do. The answer? Kyoya couldn't walk for a few days... Or leave the bed, as he was very tied up. He really enjoyed it lol.
#dni if a minor or not kink positive thank you#ouran high school host club#morikyo#takashi morinozuka#kyoya ootori

"You're right, you're awful and repulsive and hideous."
"Shut up, you....you.....I can't think of anything right now, but I will. And when I do.....you're it."
"We do strange things for those we love,"
"You're going to do great, ______. I know you are."
"Oh my gosh, ______, I....oh, I'm sorry. I did that, didn't I. Ugh, stupid question, of course I did."

"Thanks again, ______. This means a lot to me."

HELLO EVERYONE! as the year is slowly but surely coming to its end, and i'm now home for the holidays, i thought it was finally time to make another one of these. partially to give a little update on what's been going on in my life and partially as some sort of retrospect for this past year and a look into my plans for next year.
looking back, it's been quite an eventful year — especially when compared to the weird covid years we had to deal with previously. the biggest change was probably my dropping out of college to start a dual studies program in law. i did like my college program just fine ( until i didn't anymore ) but i really feel like law is my thing. and apparently everyone else in my circle of family and friends thinks so as well because i seem a hell of a lot happier than i did before. kinda unfortunate it took me seven years since quitting high school to figure that bit out, but hey, at least i got there in the end. it's been quite time-consuming, and i feel like in those past five months, i've already learned more than i did in all my years of college, but it's fun. i also finally got some new friends my age again. it's also strange to think back that just one year ago i was still struggling financially and just generally dealing with some bad mental health stuff.
i'm actually happy now.
in terms of tumblr and roleplaying, i gotta be honest that i have been sidelining it a lot over the last months. sure, i'm still around but it's not my primary focus, and i'm learning that it's okay not to be online all the time. it's okay to take breaks and focus on other things because as much as i love this blog, the community and tumblr, there are some more important things now. still, i am and always will be eternally grateful to every single person who supports me - whether it is by liking or reblogging posts, sending asks or messages, following me or using any of my stuff. it means so freaking much to me, and i always feel so proud whenever i randomly see my own stuff pop up on my dash because mutuals use it. thank you all so very much! in a similar vein, i honestly still cannot fathom that i almost managed to double the follower count this past year. i'm probably not gonna reach the goal i've kinda been looking at until the end of the year but that's okay. i am so incredibly grateful for everyone here anyway. no matter what.
as for next year - i'm not too sure what i'm gonna do. of course. i'm gonna keep posting memes, and templates and whatever other stuff i feel like doing, but i think my activity is gonna keep on being spotty. i'm also still tempted to do commissions one day ( and we're totally gonna ignore that i've been saying this for over a year now, okay? ) but with the amount of time i don't have, i'm not sure i'm gonna be able to deliver on that. if i do finally build the courage and self-esteem to do that, it will be like an occasional thing that might take some time. however, one thing i do wanna do more of is gifs. i'm not sure what kind of gifs, but i enjoy making them and it's been way too long since i did them so i'm gonna see how i'm gonna incorporate that. or if anyone has any specific gifs they want, always feel free to shoot me an ask or a message. maybe also some aesthetic-y stuff? after all do love making pinterest boards for characters.
maybe i'll also do a blog reveal once i finally set up my multi that i've been planning to work on for months now. since i'm gonna scrap my current main blog ( which i haven't really been active on in a while now anyway ) i'm kinda thinking of coming back to writing and who knows, maybe i'm gonna reveal it here in case anyone would like to write with me.
anyway, this was a lot of rambling, and if you've made it this far, i once again wanna thank you. i know i do this a lot but i really do appreciate you all being here so much, and even after two years of having this silly little blog, it still feels unreal to me that so many people here enjoy what i do.
much love and happy holidays, pooh 🧡

For the ask meme
For Apple
- How does your oc feel about Bianchi
- who does your oc love (familial)
For Redacted
- what canon character does your oc respect a lot
- who does your OC hate?
Hello, dear Anon!! Thank you for sending in some questions for the prompt!! I’m reordering it a bit because I rambled way too much for the first question for Apple and needed to put it under the [read more]!!!
💭[Redacted]
Oh [Redacted] my beloved… I can’t wait for the day, 10 years from now when I finally write and post In Somnis when I can finally call you by your name
What canon character does your OC respect a lot?
She would never actually admit it but it’s Sephira! However, in true [Redacted] fashion, unable to properly express (or understand) her true feelings or thoughts, this kinda manifests and comes out as jealousy! Quite spiteful jealousy in fact! I hope to explore this better once the time comes so I won’t go into too much detail right now. But luckily Sephira is one of the few people very good at reading [Redacted] so she never takes it personally and even thinks it’s quite cute.
Who does your OC hate?
Hmm…. Apple 🤗
🍎Apple
Who does your OC love? (familial)
There are a lot of people Apple eventually comes to view and love as family! To give a quick list:
Canon Characters: Fon, Dino, Tsuna, Yuni, Leon (yes, I am including him he’s family to her), and… someone else who I won’t name ❤️ (As for why Luce and Aria aren’t here but Yuni is it’s a little complicated but they both go into the platonic section of love rather than familial)
For OCs: Kanako, and Kurumi (who both belong to @einsatzzz) (yes Kana better believe that means you too 😤 no please don’t look at me with the tan/jiro cringe face 🥹 /lh /j), Momina (who belongs to @dreamieparadise), and Laurel and Cecil (Who both belong to @steamworksfairy). And of course eventually her own kids (and other character’s kids)!
How does your OC feel about Bianchi?
This portion is gonna be a bit of me rambling about canon for a bit so please bear with me!!! (I’ll put it under the cut)
(FEEL FREE TO SKIP THIS PORTION IF YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT MY THOUGHTS AND JUST WANNA READ ABOUT THE APPLE AND BIANCHI DYNAMIC. I’LL TELL YOU WHERE YOU CAN START READING AGAIN)
So! For those who know me know I like to keep my work as canon compliant as possible and though in my story I do make some changes (as one naturally needs to do when adding in an OC to a work. Some changes like this one are minor but there are some large changes too) I still try my best to adhere to this where I can. That being said, here’s what stays the same in In Somnis. Bianchi is still in love with Reborn! And still pursues him to Japan and all the good canon stuff we all know and love happens. The thing that’s different is how the relationship between them is handled!
In my personal opinion I never really interpreted the relationship as one Reborn took seriously. I always interpreted it as Reborn is mostly humouring her and saying she’s his mistress to get a reaction out of Tsuna because that’s what he loves doing. Not to mention the relationship does such a disservice to Bianchi down the line like it’s funny and all for the first two arcs but Bianchi!!! You can’t tell me she wouldn’t rip off someone's arm for one of the watches in the final arc!! She would absolutely fight for her someone she loves and to not have her do so is not a good look for her character!! Anyway, apologies I just have a lot of thoughts about her lol.
However, in In Somnis (and I feel comfortable going into detail about this since I don’t know if I’ll be able to cover this in detail when the time comes) Reborn would, of course, not be calling Bianchi his mistress (except he absolutely tells Tsuna she’s one of his many admirers to still get a reaction out of him lol). In fact, from the very beginning when Bianchi pursues Reborn he always tells her he can’t take her as his lover as he already has one. But nevertheless she pursues him anyway because Bianchi isn’t one to back down!!!
The June Bride chapter/episode proceeds as normal except at the end Tsuna asks Reborn if he really plans on marrying Bianchi and Reborn answers that he doesn’t since he already has a lover (Tsuna: stop saying that!! Who the hell would date a baby!?). Bianchi is upset by this but once again says she isn’t giving up because her feelings of love are true and unwavering. And Reborn responds that his (for his lover) are as well. And that’s when it kinda sinks in that he’s not gonna return her affections and she’s rather heartbroken but she gains respect for him in a different way. She views his devotion and loyalty with admiration and only grows to respect him more since one thing she hates is disloyal men (since she got cheated on before and all). She ends up accepting reality gracefully even if she tells him she’ll always love him. Because at the end of the day Bianchi loves love ❤️
(THE ACTUAL BIANCHI AND APPLE PORTION STARTS NOW. I’M SO SORRY FOR RAMBLING SO MUCH BUT ALSO THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY CARED ENOUGH TO READ ALL THAT)
When Apple first meets Bianchi she is immediately on guard since she knows Bianchi is in love with Reborn so that’s gotta spell trouble for her (not to mention she’s a highly skilled assassin). And Bianchi definitely plays into it a bit, but mostly because she wants to test Apple to see if her love is as pure and true as her own, and if she’s worthy of all the devotion Reborn has shown her. So the two don’t get off on the best foot since they both go into the relationship immediately assuming the worst of each other’s intentions. But once they get past that first hurdle it’s a pretty smooth friendship! In Apple’s opinion Bianchi is still a little too intense for her at times but she respects her as a lot as a person and as a fellow Reborn simp! So all that to say, Apple quite likes Bianchi and considers her someone she enjoys chatting, and occasionally hanging out with!
Original Prompt List ☆
#god... I ramble to much...#it's okay though because this is my own blog and I can do what i want <3#oc: [redacted]#oc: apple#canon: bianchi#canon: sephira#canon: reborn#only tagging the characters I go into detail about#ask meme#remind me to actually make a proper post about [redacted] soon lol

Introduction
I haven't been on the server for a long time. but now I’m back and I want to raise activity like before, the guys are still often active there and communicate with each other, but I feel like the server is fading away, so I decided to again advertise for my server, so to speak.
Therefore, everyone who wants is welcome.
All rules on the server~☆
We have channels for artists, ordinary people, writers (fan fiction), screenshotters, etc.
But most of the information is about our favorite fandom! However, we do not forget that we are all people too, and in the chat we can discuss various topics, and if we get carried away, we begin to develop the topic in other channels, but still strictly by discussing the work of the participant or him as an artist, writer, meme maker and etc.
Be friendly and live happily ☆
What about channels?
Channel theme "It's our chat"
Includes:
Rules chat
Two chats
Two RP chats
A chat for hugs
A chat for discussing animals (for those who want to share the life of their pet)
A chat for a bot with music (yes!)
Channel theme "SRMTHFG stuff"
Includes:
The first channel for important events in the SRMTHFG community
OC characters (your description of their universe, etc.)
Au people (who themselves share them in this chat or send links)
Headcanons
References
Screenshots and resources( These are templates that anyone can use, for example in their work, mentioning the author)
Channel theme "Other stuff":
Includes:
Rules for commissions from people who themselves leave their sheets for this
Chat for ordering commissions (this is necessary if you want to leave a request of commission, but are afraid to immediately write a private message to the author)
Chat for birthdays (of course, I don’t ask server participants for a year)
Chat for the bot
Chat with a jokes
Special chat upon request with cat girls (I don’t blame )
An honorary chat to the deceased Antauri, with all the art mentioning his death and possible rebirth
Channel theme "ART" channels:
Includes:
WIPS — work in progress
OC art — art with your characters
Fanart — arts ONLY for the SRMTHFG fandom
Artofftopic — art for ANY fandom (posted by participants who want to share)
Memes
Cosplays
Fanfiction
Merch
Videos, amv and editing
And a channel with 18+ (yes, yes, there is such a thing, but I only let in those who are 16-18, how do I check? I believe in words, because I believe in people, although one out of every ten may be a liar in life, this will remain on his conscience, although honestly I don’t care, because there’s a lot of this in the public domain on the Internet).
And two voice channels:
A first voice channel if you want to talk to someone
A second voice channel if you listen to music
Here is a short excursion. All the best and positive ♡

My capacity to read has once again exceeded my energy for writing/communicating so I am here to apologize for the super late replies T_T I've even read the new fic and the spoiler for the wooyunsan/reader and I am so sending a long ass asks for them too just you wait.
can I just say that I love it when you pepper in those hc in asks and stuff. reader teasing woosan with butchered video game names is gonna live in my mind rent free from now on I just know it. I bet she tries a bunch but makes note when one really gets a reaction out of the boys just to use it when they least expect it.
DUDE YESSS she was called kombusha girl for SO LONG it took me ages to realize that she moved past that and like has her name as her handle. Like I only registered her name when I saw her with trixie XD
bless your mind!! I always love the choices you make. I wish I had you writing my life cause my writers are losing the plot over here ໒꒰ྀི × ˕ ×。꒱ྀི১
I have a feeling your fondness for doms with different vibes is gonna really shine with the wooyunsan/reader part and I cannot wait!
choosing self indulgence was so the right call because I love nothing more than getting those peeks into the guys minds. I would read the whole fic in their pov again like some less sadistic midnight sun moment iykyk
Oh yeah saved and reread already! you cannot understand the impact that fic has had on my brain fr.
Oh as I am writing this with music in the bg a random question came to me! Do you have like a writing playlist? I feel like this fic could get it's own playlist too! Oh man dope lover by dpr ian would so be in it! AND NO PLAN BY HOZIER! aaaaand I just worked myself up into making a whichever way playlist rip
oh man i totally feel you on the energy to read vs the energy to communicate ^^;; no worries, pls take care of yourself! ♡ obv i love love love your asks but your well-being comes waaaayyyyy before that ♡
(but i do really super appreciate that you take the time to send an ask later („ಡωಡ„)♡ i feel like a lot of fandom worries that there is this limited window of opportunity after a writer drops a fic or an update, but there really is no such thing as a ‘late’ comment! so thankyou for not letting that hold you back ♡♡♡)
(like; every once in a blue moon i get a comment on an old fic from 2016 and it still makes my day w/out fail lol)
ahhh i’m happy you enjoy my rambling abt hc’s hehe (≧◡≦)♡ and omg yessss you are so right, she absoLUTELY experiments! and maybe the worst part for Woosan is that she NEVER pulls this shit w/ anyone else lol; she’ll go out of her way to ask Seonghwa abt his animal crossing village while Woosan are in earshot and she never fucks up the name <3 but then San gets into ac for a while bc he thinks the villagers are cute and she’ll be like “ohhh are you playing critter meeting??? (♡°▽°♡)” she’s very lucky they adore her lol or she’d be tossed out on the streets <3
asdkjsdkjfd i really only know her from the reaction image lol, a while back i actually needed the meme for smth but i couldn’t find it bc i didn’t know the right keywords to search for xD
ahhhhh i’m sorry to hear that your life-writers have lost the plot :( i hope they get their shit together and things get easier soon ♡♡♡
‘like some less sadistic midnight sun moment iykyk’ tbh idk 〒▽〒 but i get the gist of what you’re saying lol!
ohh no i don’t have a playlist specifically for writing; my attention-span always needs to be wrangled on a day-to-day basis lol so i switch between a lot of different things ^^;;

an announcement!
*After many weeks of consideration, I've decided that this blog will no longer be actively posting threads or my replies to them. I've come to this decision for many reasons - the pressures of my new job, the needs of my family members that take up my time when not working, the regular and nonsensical changes inflicted upon us, the 'glitches' we have to constantly work around and unfortunately, the often toxic atmosphere around some elements of rp'ing.
I'm not archiving or leaving this blog altogether - I'll still pop by every so often, probably a lot less often than I've been managing to do lately, I'll send some asks from time to time, post pics, maybe even a couple of memes that seem interesting and any asks that I get as a result but, as for threads, these won't be replied to any further.
That being said, if we have a thread or multiple ones and you have discord, I'm happy to move writing together to there. For me, discord provides the 'fuss free, spontaneous and no way obligatory' environment that was present on tumblr when I began rp'ing here. I appreciate that it doesn't for everyone, but that's just how it is for me.
So, if you'd like to discuss moving our thread to discord, please feel free to IM and we can get that sorted?
For those who don't use discord, please know that I will miss writing with you very much and this is no way any kind of commentary on either your talent, muse or approach to rp'ing.......this is just something I have to do for myself, at this stage of my life.
I'll also give myself the option of changing my mind in the future on this, hence why I'm not archiving or deleting the blog.
It's been a fun nearly-ten years here (between the old and this present blog) and who knows, giving myself this freedom might make me feel less obligated and therefore, more free to commit to be here more but, I have to be honest, that doesn't seem likely to me at this point.
Anyways, I wish you all well and hope that on the rare occassions here in the future, you'll still interact by posting whatever I might send you and send me stuff in return.
Ta-ta for now,
Sarah (and Kit) xxxxxxx
p.s. on logging in today I discovered that the number of blogs I follow had gone down quite a bit - don't know if this is yet another glitch or something I've done but, if I'm no longer following and you'd like to discuss transferring our currnet thread or starting a new one on discord, feel free to IM/send an ask to me?*
#ooc#it's been a blast tumblr#but it's time to blow off this party#(while keeping the door slightly ajar lol)

Color Cards for sale
Or: Custom nails!
*updated 9/3/24*
Want some professional looking stick/glue-on nails on a budget for yourself or someone else? Since I am still unemployed and my wife makes these stunning creations as art therapy, we're looking to sell them to keep us afloat and do things like buy food until I have a new job. (She already owned all the nail stuff.) So, if you want a set of truly gorgeous nails, take a look and contact me here or on that one chat app starting with a 'D' where I am also sl_walker.
Nails will be sent in a padded envelope with cardboard to protect them, though I might clip the longer color cards in two for mailing. Shipping is free to the continental US! (Though if you wanna toss me a couple bucks towards it, I won't turn you down. It's about 4.50 per package. LOL!) Probably you'll also get a handwritten note and maybe even a sketch from me. Several of these nail sets are three hours or more of work! And as you can see, they really are beautiful. Just ignore my very amateur photography, Tumblr's assholish image compression and the occasional cat hair. I promise I won't send any kitty dna with the nails! And you can also contact me and ask me for a set of pics emailed without compression.
As they're sold, I'll update this post by striking those through! And YES! SHE DOES CUSTOMS! (We just finished a set of Boba Fett nails and we're working on Maul ones!) If you want a custom color card (or loose nails once you know your sizes! I'll try to write the sizes on the color cards when I can see them), just contact me with a description and we'll let you know if she's able to do it. She can do cat meme nails, no joke. Or like-- fandom themed. So please do feel free to ask after that.
Also, if you request it, I'll throw in a little tube of nail glue, too.
1.) Autumn's Coming - $40
Stunning set of thirty nails, which means that you'll be able to find your exact size, but you might be able to wear a couple different sizes and have nails enough for two sets, too! Amidst the gorgeous fall-themed colors, you have cats eye magnetic metallic nails, plain color, blossom decals and a gorgeous coppery metallic crackle. They're shorter and with a blunt tip; in fact, I'm wearing a set right now, albeit in a different color theme.
2.) Good Omens - $30
This is a set of thirty nails. My wife's a huge fan of Sir Terry (sorry about the other guy) and so she came up with a Good Omens set! The red is metallic and magnetic cats eye with silver and white decals, while the white nails are themed in gold. I can definitely attest to how pretty these are, since she also made me a set of my own; I'm wearing them as I type (badly because I'm not used to wearing nails) and they're pretty enough for me to learn how to type with nail tips. LOL! She said to warn whoever bought them that she had to glue one back to the card. Sorry about that! It doesn't affect the nail itself.
3.) Thinking of Spring - $36
Another set of thirty, this time more spring-themed! With some popping magnetic metallic green cats eyes interpersed with some softer pink/orange metallic magnetic starbursts, cats eye and be-dazzled, you also have the lovely decals adorning the white nails, too. This is another beautiful set that reflects a similar quality to the autumn themed nails.
4.) Dusky - $26
A set of thirty, these are relatively simple by comparison: Done in a dusky metallic magnetic cats eye on one side and a brilliant, eyepopping holo on the other, they're classy and beautiful.
5.) Better Call Prince - $24
This fun set of twenty-four is absolutely sparkly; with metallic purple on one side and purple holo on the other, all of them also have holographic decals on them! They're busy, but if you're a redneck like me (or just really love sparkly things!) they'll make you oooh when you see them live!
6.) Pride - $18
This is a set of twenty-four. My wife actually made these for me, but they're too long for me. But boy, they sure are pretty. With the silver cats eye magnetic metallic on one side and the glittery rainbow on the other, this is a great set for you if you want something pretty with a relatively low price-tag!
7.) The Art of Subtlety - $18
This set of twenty-four is actually more gorgeous the brighter the light. All one set, all the same, these beautiful cats eyes in a sedate blue actually have a subtle holo effect on top of the loveliness that is that magnetic metallic polish; I wasn't able to capture it, but it's there! These are great for business people who like to have pretty nails to tap on a table top as illustration for their annoyance while still having that whimsical underlying hint of color.
8.) Slightly Better Than Business Casual - $16
This set of twenty-four is what my wife calls 'scratch and dent', not because they aren't pretty, but because there are a few minor flaws in the finish of the tips on the teal side. Despite that, they're a damn pretty set and will feed the cats for a few days!
9.) Where There's Smoke - $26
The first set of matte nails on offer! This set of thirty (eleven regular, three half-sizes) is three different shades of matte gray, one more silvery/metallic and two more literally smoke-colored. Perfect for someone looking for that bit of elegance, no reflective topcoat necessary!
10.) A Touch of Class - $34
This set of thirty includes three half-sizes on the end for better sizing! A gorgeous set of nails with white, decorated nails meeting silvery gold magnetic metallic meeting a gorgeous deep green glitter! This is a really lovely set, my cat Ajax really wanted to see them up close. LOL! You can't beat that endorsement. (But we're selling them anyway to help feed Ajax. XD)
11.) The Denver Mint - $30
Oh man, I actually gasped when Erin showed me these. Just the richness of the metallic silver and copper looks awesome in person offset by the plain beige nails interspersed through the set. This is another set of thirty that has the three half-sizes, too! A really lovely and elegant set of almond shaped nails.
12.) Please Forgive Ajax - $36
This is another stunning set, this time with printed decals and some custom hand-drawn art on them! Please ignore the stray cat hair, they will not come with; the culprit is sitting on my lap right now completely unashamed. But anyway, beyond those lovely green nails, the silvery-gold magnetic metallic nails will absolutely transfix you in the light. Heck, they transfix me and I can't even wear them. This set of thirty also includes the three half-sizes.
13.) Tropical Daydreams - $30
With the deep teal and the gold metallic and an almond shape, this set's sure to invoke the tropics; same as the others above, a set of thirty with three half-sizes! They're a relatively straight-forward set compared to the rest, but no less beautiful in person.
14.) Is Star Sapphire a Villain? - $34
If you're a DC Comics fan, you might giggle. But for everyone else, this particularly cute (and even conditionally chunky!) nail set is a lovely group of pink, dusky sorta violet, and actual violet magnetic metallic flake! So they're especially interesting in motion, and the bling on them are a whimsical kind of fun, too!
15.) The Spider-Gwen Special - $34
Protect Trans Kids. (Like my nephew!) And thank you, makers of the Spider-Verse, for having that poster on Gwen's wall and inspiring the name! Anyway, the theme of this set of thirty (no half-sizes on this card) is obvious; short nails, they'll look good and probably not interfere too much with typing! And the jewels are supercute, too.
16.) Cool Colored Chameleon - $40
THESE ARE SO DAMN COOL! Ahem. ANYWAY. Several of these are actually temperature-reactive! So, they change color with the temperature. Like a mood ring, kind of. They're also really super pretty in-person, not gonna lie. I can't tell you how many of the nail sets Erin shows me cause me to go O.O and oooh. This was a big one, I think I might have squealed. A set of thirty, with the three half-sizes, this one's just ridiculously fun.
17.) Pretty in Pink - $32
Another one of those sets with some breathtaking magnetic metallic, this time in a soft silvery pinkish color! Mixed with the flat nails and the occasional bit of bling, this delicately colored set nonetheless has enough flash and flare to make your average redneck (meaning me) happy. Hopefully they'd be able to make you happy, too!
#custom nails#help steff and erin afford groceries!#also like-- these really are pretty#even if the kitties are inordinately fascinated with them#then again--#they also will eat corn off a cob#proof they're ohio kitties thoroughly

oh my gosh ya’ll hahahahahaha
so many new follows! thanks everyone, glad you enjoyed my silly doodle! I can’t guarantee what else I’ll be drawing, generally it’s been a lot of OC stuff and randomness, because I’ve been so busy with work, comics and commissions I don’t have a ton of time for fun arts. But we’ll see~
I’ve gotten a few more asks, let me just give a general response under the cut ♥
What do I think about some LoT ships and Karllik?
Honestly I don’t really have an opinion!!! I love me an m/m ship, but it’s different for me having known U-P and all the people in LoT personally (many in-person too!) that it’s a much different thing vs interacting with a piece of media that you’re a fan of.
I’m totally fine with people shipping Rellik with whoever, he was an RP character of mine forever, and he’s been in ships with friends’ OCs time to time. I’ve even had people ship him with their OCs. (I recall someone on dA I particularly loved the beautiful art of him and her OC) And honestly it’s just been lovely seeing everyone enjoy the LoT characters again and breathe new life and ideas into whatever sparks their fancy.
I don’t have a LoT OTP! I drew a handful of art of Rellik with thecrowchan’s Crowley (which you can still see on this tumblr), but honestly, he’s always been a character who is interesting to see how he gets along with people. That’s why my round-3 extras has some Karl shippy-type stuff in it too, I knew people were interested and those two being semi-villains had a different energy between them than other characters which was so fun to write.
That’s about all I’m going to say about it all! Everything else is up for you all to be creative with however you see fit. If I open requests (I do meme art requests time to time) feel free to send me any of chars you’d like to see, otherwise it’s not really my place to make more content for this fandom. It belongs to you all now!!!! ♥ Though I’m sure I’ll draw my boy Rel from time to time just cuz I still love him :)
Please all play nice and remember that everyone is dealing with things that you cannot see or know, so when in doubt remember to be kind and patient with one another whenever you can. And if something upsets you, block and move on ♥ Lots of love to ya’ll!!!
#del replies#thank you all very kindly!#i'm still out here and i'm old AS FUCK at this point so#seriously if anyone feels uncomfortable following a 37 year old#please feel free to unwatch and go about your business#i do post blood and violent content time to time#just as a warning! though i love ya'll thank you for the support#please be safe and kind on the internets#i was old compared to a lot of internet kids even when LoT came out the first time#time is a flat circle

NAVIGATION POST
Welcome to KappaTengu! A pokeask blog about two traveling mercenaries consisting of a Nuzleaf and Lombre, named Koban and Lianhua. While there is a vague story going on, I am not immune to memes and silly antics (like 90% of the blog was memes/meme asks before my hiatus). I made this blog in 2018, and pulling it out of hiatus as of now, December 2023. This blog is best viewed on desktop.
This blog will be using a format where plot will be advanced after we reach an ask goal, eg: let’s say I set a goal of 10 asks until X happens, after answering that many asks, I’ll close the askbox, proceed with what was promised, then open the askbox again. There will be times where there’s no goal– called ‘free days’, where nothing is set to happen anytime soon– and there will be times where I will only count asks that pertain to the plot/lore, and any unrelated asks won’t count towards the number. I’ll typically call these “plot asks”.
So if you see the sidebar say anything like “ASKS UNTIL EVOLUTION: 20” or “PLOT ASKS UNTIL KOBAN EXPLODES: 5” those are just the ask goals for plot progression! If you see nothing like that anywhere, then we’re probably in a ‘free days’ phase, and our silly yokais are just chillin’.
So feel free to send serious or memey asks alike! And while this isn't an RP blog by any means, interactions from other Pokemon blogs are encouraged! You may even have impact on the plot, and the characters will certainly remember you!
On rare occasions, I may reply with art should anyone answer an ask I sent to them. I don't mind if anyone does the same if I answer their ask. Just keep in mind they probably won't be extensive/drag out.
Link accessibility for mobile users is still WIP. On desktop, you can use the blog theme links for navigation (the circle buttons to the left).No rules page yet since I haven't had any bad apples come in, but one will be made if trouble happens. I do ask you don't reblog any of my OOC posts (anything tagged "outofyokai"!), and not to send too many joke asks during plot advances. I trust everyone to read the room/atmosphere.

EVENTS AND PLOT
#Intermission 1: Budew and Toxicroak #Egg Arc #Lianhua’s Past #Koban’s Past
A brief "about the blog" description and a summary of what happened on the blog so far in terms of vague plot under the cut.
This blog revolves around a strange Nuzleaf and Lombre, named Koban and Lianhua respectively. They work as self-proclaimed self-employed mercenaries dubbed Team KappaTengu, taking on any work they can, and doing anything they’re hired for, whether it be good or bad.
Koban has amnesia about his past, and Lianhua seems to be cagey about his own past.
Although always travelling, they primarily seem to hang around forests.
WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR:
Koban has stolen an egg from Takuya, lying to Lianhua that it was for a quest he accepted. But in reality– and Lianhua has already caught on, too– Koban stole it because it rung something familiar in his head, and hoped that keeping it and perhaps hatching it would help Koban gain any memory at all.
The egg has hatched into a strange Budew.
INTERMISSION 1:
Budew was left on her own, seemingly waiting for Lianhua and Koban to come back. She's attacked by an unknown Fire Pokemon while waiting, to which she was saved by a passing Toxicroak named Takuya. Takuya follows others' advice, and goes to search for either the attacker or Budew's parents.

WIP Wednes-eekend: Summer Challenge Edition
tagged by @stobinesque 💕💖💞 Im not sure if the summer challege edition is like. specific to your fics or not so oopsies if it is
The Rules

Post a snippet of one of those WIPs
When people send you an ask with the name of one of your WIPs, write 3 lines of that WIP.
(Optional) Post the lines you wrote.
You can send multiple requests especially since this is going on through the weekend!
Also feel free to send as many as you want, im gonna devote my free time to this anyway so your just directing the adhd energy to a specific section
WIPs
Since I’m planning on just going wild on my Steve Henderson AU for the foreseeable future and I’m doing a lot of jumping around in it, I figured i’d list different chapters I’m working on as the wips (I also just really wanted to share chapter titles early because i put a lot of effort into making these meme references relevant and i think theyre funny) So in no particular order but definitely chronological because this is just chapters 3-6.5:
1. Get yo fucking dog, bitch (It don’t bite) (YES IT DO)
2. What the fuck kinda dog is that? (Bitch an interdimensional dog)
3. “Lab Work Ahead?” Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does
4. There’s one thing worse than a demodog (Boom) A Billy Hargrove (Actually yes)
5. ✨Bonus Chapter (Dustin pov): Can we go to the tunnels (*slamming*) Can we please go to the tunnels
Snippet
this ones from chapter 3 aka Get Yo Fucking Dog, Bitch
They pulled up to Steve’s again, this time into Steve’s garage connected to the front of the house. Steve hopped out, running over to unlock the door and crack it open. Dustin was still in his seat, looking around the room. Impressed with the house: a reaction that King Steve usually found validating but now made Just Steve uneasy.
Steve went over and knocked on his window before crossing back to the other side and opening the backseat door. Dustin turned around.
“You have your own garage?”
He nodded, putting two bags in one arm and grabbing a third.
“C’mon, are we in a rush or not?” he joked. Dustin climbed out, still distracted.
Steve pushed through the door, catching it with his foot before it could bump into the wall and waited for Dustin who was balancing three bags of his own.
They turned the corner and he set the bags on the kitchen island, Dustin still absently taking everything in. It took a few trips, but eventually they got all the meat on the counter, leaving the pasta and dry groceries in the car to save time.
“Alright, you start unloading stuff and I’ll find us some buckets or something.” he said, setting the last bag down and heading back to his garage, “And do not touch the knives until I’m back.”
“Dude, I’m twelve, I can hold a knife.”
“Just don't start without me, okay?"
"Five minutes and then I'm raiding your knife block."

Music Meme 2: Electric Boogaloo
@papermint-airplane and @simsdastra tagged me again for this, so apparently they, at least, want more from me. There's no accounting for taste, folks! ;)
🎶✨when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, and publish. then, send this ask/tag 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ✨🎶
I'll use YouTube embeds this time, just because it's easier than copypasting links and because ya girl doesn't have a Spotify account. (Well, technically, I do, but I forgot my login and idc enough to recover it.) Anyway, since embeds are huge plus I babbled as usual, I'll put them behind a cut.
And I guess I'll tag more peeps, so here you go: @twinsimming, @rollo-rolls, @ninjaofthepurplethings, @suratan-zir, @fluttereyes-ts3-blog, @danjaley, @unsimspirational, @lilidebergerac, @stargazer-sims, and @parystrange. And if anyone reading this wants to do it, too, consider yourself tagged, too. Feel free to ignore, as always. No pressure.
Here we go…
youtube
This one reminds me of my rave days. Man, I miss those rave days… I listen to a lot of ambient, trance-y electronic stuff whether I'm high/tripping or not. It tends to fuel creativity in me, and Delerium is always at the top of my list. I love the combination of dark ambient and ethereal female voices that most of their tracks have.
youtube
More belly dance music. Yes, I am really into belly dance. I've been taking lessons for….eight?…years now, and I'm good enough now to perform as well as teach beginners. In fact, I'm teaching my very first actual beginner's class this spring, and I'm very excited because 8 people (including one guy and one kid, which is awesome) have already signed up. SQUEE! :D I love everything about belly dance. It's excellent exercise and gives you amazing muscle control, which is great for inherently clumsy people like me. I love the music. I LOVE love that it makes me feel sexy and ultra-feminine and that there's no pressure for dancers to be super-skinny. (In fact, belly dance looks better if you aren't skinny, although lamentably I am skinny because of health issues.) But most of all, I love the outfits. The fabrics, the sweeping skirts, the colors, the BLING. ✨ ✨ ✨
ANYWAY! This piece is one that I have performed to. I prefer pieces that are all/mostly darbuka (That's the drum), and this guy is a master.
youtube
You wouldn't think that this combo would work as a duet, but it really, really does, despite the fact that, according to my first husband (who was a recording engineer and eventually a producer), Donna was hung-over as fuck during the (single!) recording session. Can you imagine singing like that while hung-over? I can't.
Ironically, I played the shit out of this song when my first husband left me. LOL I still play it a lot nowadays when I want to sing and dance like an idiot.
youtube
I wouldn't call myself a metalhead by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like metal quite a bit. My favorite metal genre is symphonic metal, which probably isn't surprising since I'm a classical musician. :) But yeah, give me all the Nightwish and Epica and, indeed, Within Temptation. This is arguably my favorite song of theirs.
youtube
And since I haven't put anything from my favorite band of all time on these lists…time to fix that. :) Though it definitely isn't my overall favorite song of Queen's, this is my favorite song from Queen II, which is my favorite Queen album. It's the height of their fantasy-theme phase. It's also their "heaviest" album, so I thought that something from it was a good song to follow Within Temptation. :)
