Sending this a bit early because I'm about to go to bed and I'm going on a trip tomorrow and won't be able to check this page (the switch between days for a-mag-a-day happens right at midnight at my timezone!) I'm excited to see if there's any Raymond Fielding fanart for this episode because I've literally never seen fanart of him before. I'm not a huge fan of his but my tma sideblog is sorta named after him because my name is Raymond too lol. Anyways I love the title for this episode its such a clever little double meaning hee hoo And I liked the way that kids being stuck in the system works so well with The Web. I hadn't really noticed or thought about it before, but this time I was thinking about how Ronald was talking about his life being out of his own control and stuff. I just like when I realize the deeper level a statement works for a certain entity beyond surface level Spooky Spider Events lmfao

Yeah this episode feels deeper than it presents on a number of levels

I'll be on the lookout for episode art as usual! 👍

knight-apparent hornet to go with king of shades ghost, because this game has singlehandedly cured 6 and a half years of artist’s block apparently

a couple of notes since this has evolved into an entire postgame au at this point:

ghost makes her their heir like immediately because they can’t give her the kingsbrand while they’re still alive but the void is. not predisposed to be a proactive ruler. her main duty is as a knight but she also gives them advice/stern talkings-to on the regular

she probably still gets kidnapped. because ghost is an obnoxious older sibling and also The Physical Manifestation Of Nihilism Given Focus, their reaction when they find out is “lmao she’s fine. she was getting bored anyways” hence why they’re not in silksong.

the eyes are a design choice. she has 8 legs also but i didn’t want to draw those. maybe she gets them once she molts now that the stasis is broken or something let me have spidery hornet just let me have this

[samuraikunexe67]

A/N: I have no idea why, I’m actually in the mood to make break-up headcanons. Slightly yandere-ish behavior for some of them ehe.

Ann

What do you mean “break up?”

She of course respects your choices.

Great friends though!

She misses you..

But still! Respects your wishes!

Becomes actually irritated if you moved on super fast.

May or may not have cuddled a picture of you and cried herself to sleep for a whole month.

Every time you are apart of the group-chat or with the Phantom Thieves, she’d instantly check up on you and go on with her day.

Makoto

She respects your choices but asks for an entire summary why.

You better what out! You better not cry! Sae Niijima is coming to kill you!

Expect her to frustratedly cry over you while hugging a pillow.

Ignored you the entire year.

Probably enemies with her and her sister.

Heart-broken tsundere coming through.

Uhm.. Awkward~

Literally turns into the: Deleted, Blocked, Reported meme.

If she sees you in that group-chat or with The Phantom Thieves, expect a punch to the stomach.

Futaba

“Oh nice joke!”

She realized you weren’t joking.

She broke down into tears.

Like Makoto, she expects an entire essay on why you’re breaking up with her.

She’s probably planning on how to blackmail you rn.

She might’ve turned into a yandere.

But don’t worry! Joker and the boys got your back!

Unless they get blackmailed by her and tell them to step off.

Stalks your every doing on social media.

Every time she sees you in the group-chat or with the Phantom Thieves; hoo boy..

Joker and Ryuji are literally using a crowbar to get her off of you..

Haru

Mom pick me up I’m scared..

Peace was NEVER an option with Haru.

She’s respectful about it and doesn’t need an explanation.

But dear god does she know how to hit your weak spot.

“Hey Haru, mind passing me the salt?”

“I sure hope you don’t choke on that steak aha!~”

May the lord forgive you.. Because she won’t..

She may or may not have also become a yandere.

Unlike Futaba, she just barges into your house and kidnaps you.

Expect people including Joker and the others to find you tied up.

Stay away from the Phantom Thieves if Haru’s there.

Unless you want an axe to the face and Milady brainwashing you 24/7..

Kasumi

She’s actually pretty chill unlike Futaba and Haru and Makoto.

“As long as you’re still my senpai/onee-san!”

You two get along just fine!

A lot of hugging and headpats.

Nice convos in the group chat and when hanging out with the Phantom Thieves.

*wiggles eyebrows* Might even consider going back together?

Nah jk jk.

Soon both of you became even closer.

Internally she does miss you but understands and the both of you has moved on from it.

Akira/Ren

He literally has a breakdown

Begging you to come back to him while crying and snot going every-where

You and him are so awkward towards another when you hang out with the Phantom Thieves.

Even in group-chat Akiren cries and cries about you to the others.

You feel bad but you wanna move on.

He misses you like hell.

Becomes very depressed and doesn’t move from his room.

This boy’s playlist is full of sad love songs on the daily while viewing pictures of you and him together.

Slowly becomes a yandere but a soft one.

He’s clingy like dear god.

Ever-lasting hugs.

He even gets jealous whenever Ryuji or anyone else gets near to you.

Wants you all to himself.

Ryuji

He’s pretty chill, heartbroken but chill.

Actually becomes like an older brother to you

Brings you snacks and food whenever

Checks up on you in group-chat

Gets teased by Futaba and Joker and Morgana that you’re not his anymore

He only rolls his eyes and gives you headpats

Y’all be doing karaoke on the daily

You and him be making fun of Morgana together

Older brother and younger sibling relationship!

He misses you but glad to see you happy as always

Yusuke

“Oh that’s cool.”

Takes the break-up pretty well

You and him still have goofy art moments

Strangely you two have always had the married couple dynamic and now..

You both cringe when someone says that.

He’s still as poor as ever

He hungy

You share your food with him

“Hee-ho!”

“Time to hee-ho home buddy.”

“Indeed, my dear friend.”

Everybody in the group-chat sometimes mistaken that you and Yusuke got back together but you correct them for the 50th time

Akechi

...Yikes.

Break-up was as messy as Joker’s bedroom.

He screamed for about a whole day about it.

He stopped talking to the Phantom Thieves and you once you guys broke it off.

He soon became a fricking yandere.

Not surprised that he became one.

He delulu asf.

Pretends that you’re the king/queen of his Palace.

He actually gets a Palace because of you and his tragic past.

Joker and the others are actually terrified of the outcomes once Akechi’s heart is changed.

If it works, he’ll pretend none of it happened.

If it doesn’t, well he’s still gonna pretend as usual.

Either way he’s still gonna fanboy about you and treat you like prince/princess.

Either texts you in private or outside of LeBlanc.

Phantom Thieves: “And we took that personally.”

Everyone immediately becomes the older siblings in the situation.

Jesus get Akechi some therapy..

[forsakenmenagerie]

Ive been inspired by Unus Annus to continue to move forward with trying to get my art up and going! That being said, I've updated my redbubble with new designs! We have the building blocks, in Eef, Mark, and both, and also Hee Hoo Hunter/Believer and Gongoozler Hunter/Believer designs! If you can please check it out it would mean a lot to me!

[cyber-searcherao3]

@9d00m

@mcfanely

I love you both and your characters and your contributions to My Thirsting cannot be understated. Check their art and writing out, ask them if Blue is the superior colour. Because it is.

BUT I AM SORRY

Your boys murdered me so many times

First sketches, amazingly, was pretty okay. Went through a lot of other designs I may or may not add to my jacket. Also ‘hee hoo pretty faries make heart go brr’.

Went with Zane first. Because I am very, Very Biased. By the broken lore, his Hair was So Poof. I blame Dommie’s fabulous Floofs.

Kai was next. God, I had to re-draw his head SO MANY TIMES. Ironically his porcupine-cactus mop of IDGAF was the easy part.

And minor design flaw. If I buttoned up the jacket it hides the red cords and most of his face with Zane on top. Then again when is he not?

I don’t have many other WIP’S from this point forward.

But can I just say.

The TE E T H

WERE A NIGHTMARE.

I love working in little detail, don’t get me wrong. It’s fun as heck and I love it. But just, drawing out the shape and figuring our how exactly to shape his mouth so it was in proportion and didn’t look wack as all fuck.

So, ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. ITS DONE!

An Annotated Mass Effect Playthrough, Part Seven

List of Posts: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Wherein we... talk to the crew. I didn’t quite make it off the ship.

Still, a lot of words.

Aka the nearly All-Gif update.

Didn’t get a chance to play ME at all this week, so I’m going to spend a few hours this weekend (double-checking to make sure screenshotting works :p) and have some real updates later.

So making it back to the ship from Therum, it’s time to talk to the crew.  I maybe could have gone and talked to them after getting on the ship after the Citadel, but they don’t really have any unique lines then so, I usually wait til now to go chat.

First, let’s talk to Liara.

The thing that sucks about talking to Liara (or Kaidan, or Ashley, if you don’t want to romance them) is, you know, the accidental romance.  Making “picking the Paragon-place choices = romance by default with NO WARNING” design was very Not Good.  They fixed this in later games, well moreso in Dragon Age games than ME, (and Andromeda is done very well for this) but still.  In ME3, the BackOff mod does a great job of making romance dialog more obvious and intentional.  

Liara’s dialog choices I feel like are even LESS obviously flirting I feel like than Ash and Kaidan’s.  Honestly with Liara’s most of the lines can be read and even said aloud as friendship then BOOM, all of a sudden she wants a threesome.  I choose middle dialog options whenever possible with Liara just to avoid this.  I’m not interested, never have been, don’t want Kaidan to think he has any competition.  But seriously, it’s poor game design here that you literally have to be a jerk to a companion at some points to avoid having them think you want to bang.   God, half of the reason I’d love a remaster would be to hopefully fix shit like this to avoid some of the pitfalls.  

I hate that some people use this as a reason to dislike these characters more.  And I’ll admit, in my early days as a ME fan, I held it against Liara, too, until I realized how dumb that is.  I especially hate it when you get to the “confrontation scene” and people use Kaidan not wanting to be in a threesome as a reason to dislike him more?  It’s not a bad thing to want to be monogamous?  (And of course, it’s not a bad thing to NOT want to be, assuming everyone is open and OK about it.)

I just prefer to not get that scene at all now, and to avoid “leading anyone on” accidentally etc.  My Shepard knows early on what she wants, and sticks with him all the way through.

I was going to talk more here about my feelings about Liara in general but uh, I guess I’ll do that later.  This is already really long.

Here’s a great post about how to avoid romancing Kaidan while being rude as little as possible to him.  

Well since he’s right outside the medbay anyway, let’s go talk to the LT.  

Have I mentioned how much I hate the orange glow?  

So anyway, I thought maybe I’d talk here a little bit about Why Kaidan?

I will point out here that I am mostly a hetero woman, so my choices in video game romances lean towards men first, though I’m also very cool with doing non-m/f romances in games, and often do on subsequent playthroughs of games I love, but that’s almost never gonna be my primary romance.

I’d already mentioned my love for Carth Onasi, one of the most hated companions in video games, If You’re A Guy.

By today’s standards, even the Carth romance isn’t that great.  But at the time, it was the greatest romance I’d experienced in video games.  There were a few others that were really good -- Valen Shadowbreath in Neverwinter Nights: Horde of the Underdark was the other really great one, but we also got nightmare fuel like Anomen in Baldur’s Gate (though that gets better with mods + the final BG expansion) or just under-written characters or romances like Casavir in NWN2 (who was much better with mods) or hell, either of your choices in KotOR2 imho.  But I used to play KotOR over and over for many reasons, such as holy shit a Star Wars game(!!) and one where you can actually be a female main character AND has that great Bioware storytelling... but a big reason was Carth.  

A funny thing about Carth Onasi... if you play a male main character, you have a very different experience with Carth than if you play a woman.  And even I can agree that hoo boy Carth gets tiresome quick if you play a male, as a female you at least get to flirt and that calms him down and evens him out a lot. But the one time I tried playing as a male, I didn’t make it off Taris because.. yeouch I could actually see what the guys playing were so mad about.

But hey, that voice.  Raphael Sbarge, I love that voice.  So like I said early on in these posts, I immediately knew I was going to romance Kaidan the very second I confirmed he was romancable, before I even ran back into the ship and met anyone on the crew aside from Joker and Kaidan.

And... that only got confirmed more and more as I went through ME for the first time.  The character is smart, and capable, and respected you, and never questioned your command, but made his feelings pretty clear along the way.  He could be a little doofy but in an adorable way with some of the things he said, honestly there was almost never anything I didn’t love about this character.

I realized some time ago that I have a thing for the Paladin archetype personally. 

This is Casavir, from Neverwinter Nights 2, and in NWN2, there are two romance options for women.  An under-written Lawful Good Paladin in his late 30′s who is willing to buck his superiors to do what he thinks is right but also places you on a pedestal and holds back all his emotions.  He’s a romance option. Or....

Bishop, a chaotic evil ranger who insults you a lot, threatens to rape an NPC under your protection, and ultimately betrays you.  

Most people who played NWN2 seemed to prefer the CE Ranger.  I loved the paladin so much I wrote fix-it fic that I never have gotten around to publishing anywhere to retcon his terrible dumb ending.

There’s a fan-made romance mod that helps with the romances in this game, though I dislike a lot of what they did, ultimately I always use it.

In Dragon Age?

Ah yeah, the Templar-Warden.  Love him.  He does have that “Oh I’m so young and experienced tee-hee” thing going on that isn’t my favorite, (at this point mostly because I’m actually in my mid-40′s so uh, I’m just Old) but otherwise, yeah, love Alistair.

Dragon Age 2, I mean I usually romance Anders but... I’m not real excited about either him or Fenris, or even either of the ladies, though I have done Isabella’s romance (as well as Fenris’) and enjoyed it.  I’d probably romance Avaline (or Varric!), if she were an option.  But yeah, Anders mostly because he IS trying to do what’s right, even if he... well.  You know.  

But Dragon Age Inquisition?

Give me that Blackwall-angst.  That stoic guy trying to be a Warden who comes undone for you.  You’d think I’d go for Cullen, but hey this game gave us two paladin archetypes, though one is merely pretending, he still atones and becomes what he was trying to be, one way or another, if you let him.  I picked this paladin archtype first because I did not like Cullen based on interactions with him in DA1 & 2.  I like him well enough in DA:I but Blackwall is my guy here.

Out of all the many, many companions in SWTOR, who’s my fave?

If Aric Jorgan isn’t a Paladin-type I don’t know who is, especially since any romanceable Jedi are uh, all your female padawans (don’t get me started) until Lana (also female) comes along. 

Hell, in a very long-running 4e D&D game I played from around 2009 to 2014 where my character fell in love with our party leader’s son, married him and fought the final boss 4 months pregnant with our twins.  That character’s husband... was a paladin.  I mean look at this art my friend picked out for his character’s son:

I mean dang, who (of those who are attracted to men of this type) wouldn’t?

I always pick the Paladin.  The guy who is gonna Do What’s Right no matter what it costs him, the guy who’s gonna be loyal, the guy who may bottle up his emotions or keep them under control all the time but ultimately does what it takes to get the girl... that’s my fave.  And that’s Kaidan.

I will also say my second fave archetype is rogue-with-a-heart-of-gold, and that’s more of a Garrus or Varric (if only he were a choice!!! :( ) type.. aka my second choice in these games.

Well that was a lot more words on that subject than I meant to do, so I’m going to just say real quick here that what I love about this first conversation with Kaidan is that he’s already no dummy, he knows something is up, and warns you about it.

We’ll save talk about his backstory for another day.

Let’s head downstairs.

Yay for sped-up elevators!  What used to take like 20 seconds now takes like, four.

URDNOT WREX.

This another place where Shepard starts out just sticking their foot in their mouths completely.  I feel like this is something the game definitely has problems with here.  Shepard should know a lot more about the Genophage, like they should have about say, Spectres, even if the player doesn’t. So basically every response you can give to Wrex about the genophage and what his people are going through sounds really insensitive.  Comparing the relatively minor First Contact War with the entire galaxy more or less uniting to keep the Krogan from taking over after the Rachni war seems pretty dumb, and also like something Shepard should already know.

Loredumping on the Krogans a bunch with Wrex is necessary, but  I think it could have been done better.  Though I think there are a lot of questions about the Krogan and the Genophage that ultimately are important but go unanswered. I’m going to be honest, because generally I want my companions to be happy and ultimately I want the happiest ending I can get, I usually cure the genophage and leave Wrex in charge.  But also I don’t think that ends up with the happiest ending for the galaxy.  Everything about the genophage is terrible, how it works, how it was administered, what it’s done to the Krogan as a people, but let’s be honest, the galaxy will also be in huge trouble just from a resources perspective if each krogan woman can have hundreds (or even just dozens) of babies a year, who are gonna all live a thousand years.  There’s got to be a compromise that, eventually, hopefully Wrex works out if he’s alive at the end of ME3 or the council figures out with Wreav or whoever.  

It is kinda funny though that here, I basically met Wrex at C-Sec, told him I’d help him with Fist, sent him to my ship, and basically just kidnapped him to go help with the rest of the mission.  He wanted to be here, right?  I can only assume I’m paying him a lot.

Ashley!

I do love Ashley Williams.

I’m not going to turn this into a “Is Ashley Racist” thinkpiece.  I’ve read a lot of both sides of this argument and no, I don’t think she is.  Some pieces of her attitude do need to be kicked up a bit, for sure.  She’s got about the same issues with aliens as most of the species of the galaxy have with each other, which sometimes isn’t great, but she’s far from supporting Terra Firma.

She’s smart, she’s funny, a hell of a shot, she’s being held back due to her family name.  I would love for if someday a Wilshenko OT3 were possible.  I’d do that in an instant.  I despise the fact that you can only keep Kaidan forever if you lose Ashley forever, though I don’t see that changing even in a remaster.  Please Bioware, for the super ultra remaster?

I know I need to do another run through the game with Ashley alive. I don’t remember too much of what happens in ME3 when she’s there.

I also love that her story is so much one of family.  From her stories of her sisters, to the point that it’s her own grandfather’s legacy that’s holding her back.  She’s so grounded, she reminds us that there are civilians out there we’re keeping safe, a whole world we rarely see, up in space and in the middle of so much military conflict.

GARRUS.

First of all, whew Garrus looks amazing in the lighting and with the textures with ALOT/MEUITM.  Very handsome.

Interestingly, Garrus does not really loredump on the turians.  We absorb a lot of what we find out about the turians more naturally.  Garrus is more all about C-Sec and the general politics of the Council, of Spectres, of C-Sec.  Gonna be honest, I expected C-sec to play into the game as a whole a lot more than it did based on Garrus’ talks about it.  I mean it was always there, but Bailey ends up being the face of C-Sec 

Garrus’ Law vs. I Do What I Want attitude is a nice way to do a non-goody-two-shoes companion story without having to go evil.  I love that Garrus’ story kinda mirrors our own as players, how are we going to get things done?  Shove a blaster in people’s faces, accept collateral damage, and do whatever it takes to get it done?  OR play by the rules, compromise, and see if that fixes things.

The thing is though, Mass Effect actually is great at giving us the illusion of choice without making a huge difference in the end.  Like I mentioned before... not bringing Garrus to ME1 makes little difference in how he acts in ME2 outside of a few lines of dialog.  Lots of things are like that, like pick Ash or Kaidan on Virmire, and yes one is always gone, but 80% of the content is basically the same from there on out for either character.

There are games out now that do that choice better.  Pathfinder: Kingmaker is one I can think of.  Or Tyranny.  Things you choose can alter the endings of those games drastically, locking entire paths out of the game.  

I used to think that was what I wanted.  Until I played Kingmaker and locked myself out of things I really wanted without realizing it.  I stopped playing the game, sad that my LI dumped me and wouldn’t come back without reloading many, many hours worth of game.  Despite enjoying the game overall, I still haven’t gone back.  When I do play again, I’ll probably keep a lot of tabs open of walkthroughs and tips on how to keep things going how I want.  Kind of defeating the purpose of the game.

Anyway, I got super off track again.  The point is, Garrus is the companion that gives us the most Choice in who he is.  Which is cool.  He illustrates our Paragon vs Renegade dilemma.  And it’s neat that it does make changes in some of the things he says in the future, but overall, his story doesn’t change much no matter what you do (Unless you, ya know, get him killed in ME2).

And therein lies a problem with Mass Effect, and video games as a whole.  It’s neat to see the little changes, but it’s rare for anything to be an actual Big Change, because... that’s a loooot of work for a developer and how much more money is all that going to cost him.

At some point in the future I’ll point out how lucky we are for what we did get, though.

Heeeey it’s Chief Engineer Greg Adams!  I wonder how many people don’t even know he has a first name?  Anyway, thank you for your one short conversation in which you explain how the Normandy works (honestly, great job with explaining this, Bioware, even if the science is ???) and like three sentences on who you are.  Wasted opportunity to give you an actual character.  Glad you like Tali, though!  See you in ME3.

TALI!

Okay, I will totally accept that Shepard doesn’t know much past the basics of quarian society.  That makes a lot more sense than Shepards not knowing much about asari.  

The quarians are so much more of an original creation I feel like than a lot of what we’ve seen in the galaxy so far.  Krogan?  Basically Klingons.  Turians?  Space Romans. Asari?  Twilek/Space Elves but ALL Hot Ladies.  Qarians feel like something new though.

I mean, I guess before they had to live in suits they were pretty normal, but their entire culture doesn’t feel like something we’ve seen everyplace before.  I mean I’ve seen space (g-slur)  but, eh not really.  

And Tali herself is such a good character.  I mean, she does suffer a little from being Very Important with her father being one of five admirals in a population of six million people but, I’ll allow it.  Nobody else on the crew has Very Important Parents.  I mean Garrus’ father is a little high up in the ranks but that’s a non-factor, Ash’s grandfather was but he’s dead and never seen, Wrex’s father is a chieftan but none of those is central to their current story or as big as this one. I mean, Spacer Shep’s own mother is a captain of a ship.  Tali herself in-game isn’t that sexualized -- most of that was the fandom’s doing.  She’s young but also confident and has her shit together.  

She shoulda been a same-sex romance in ME2/3 though, damnit!

Joker. Is. Amazing. And uh, also shoulda been a romance option. 

Hey first of all, how great was it that they put in disabled representation in this game.  I have read a few posts on how it could have been better, and definitely agree, but it’s also been so important to have say, Geordi LaForge as chief engineer of the Enterprise and also Joker here, in space, being awesome on spaceships.  And he really earns his the right to his bravado in calling himself the best pilot in the galaxy.  

Also?  Casting Seth Green was such a great choice.  I couldn’t imagine Joker as anyone else.  I mean this is Bioware so we expect, and definitely got, great voice acting (except for... ugh you know, we’ll get there in ME3) but honestly Seth Green was a particularly good choice.  I don’t care that he’s covered with sixteen layers of plot armor, he deserves it.

He’s the companion that we don’t ever get to take in the squad.  (I mean, except for that brief amazing moment in ME2)

I only wish in ME1 he had as much to say as in ME2/3.  At least he gets cool snarky lines after all the major missions.

One last thing before we get off the ship for awhile, I love that the crew is actually comprised of both men AND women in ME1.  With different hairstyles and faces, and even skin tones.  It’s nice to see they didn’t just reuse the same guy over and over for the nameless NPCs.  

Well, I guess they get names in ME2. :v

Anyway, I would like to point out, that there are seventeen nameless NPCs on the Normandy.

Then there’s Adams, Tali, Garrus, Wrex, Ashley, Kaidan, Chakwas, Liara, Pressley, and Joker.

That’s twenty-seven people and eight sleep pods.  Let’s remove the aliens, who couldn’t fit in a sleep pod (Garrus and Wrex), twenty-five people.  Are there people sleeping in the sleep pods now?  There must be, right?  Everyone can’t be awake when we’re on the ship just because we’re there?  How does that math add up?  Who is sleeping where, HOW DOES IT WORK!?  

Well, that’s their problem. I got my own bed.  Kaidan can share.

Also just... don’t get me started on how stupid this is.  I mean it’s nice having a shop on the ship but... the justification is terrible.  We all know it.  He was counted as one of the 17 nameless, btw.

Okay well, I was going to get off the ship this update but this is already stupid long and honestly I don’t have too much more content to post so, I’m gonna go actually play this game!

Hee hoo guess who made some art to give to other people!

Unfortunately, all these designs have already been claimed since they’re actually for a roleplay and they’re the kits of one of my characters

Their names are Goatkit(brown), Horsekit(ginger with white), Bullkit(white and black), and Cowkit(white with ginger)

Osaka Sougo: Wonderful Octave Rabbit Chat Part 2

Tsumugi: Thank you for gathering, everyone! I was thinking of collecting requests for Sougo-san’s “RADIO STATION “Twelve Hits!””.

T: To manage the chat and check the contents, us managers will also participate. Please take care of it!

10000: Please take care of Sougo-kun’s requests!

5: Everyone, I regret that you all have gathered for me while you are all preoccupied. Today, thank you for your help by working with me. 

100: It’s strict, Sougo!! Is that a historical drama’s line?!

6: The art of the sword! It’s harakiri right!

Anesagi: I can imagine him bowing 90 degrees over the phone.

4: He’s saying spell-ish things again

5: S-Sorry… It’s not a spell or a historical drama or anything, it was meant to be a greeting...

8: Ousaka is nervous as usual huh (lol)

9: Maybe Gaku is being too scary isn’t he?

8: Am I…?

5: Not at all! I’m thinking I’m really happy that you talk to me in a friendly way all the time!

8: Isn’t he terrified…? What part of me is scary? I’ll be careful so tell me. 

9: Sorry, it was just a joke.

9: I thought it would make Ousaka Sougo relax. 

3: It seems to be making him more and more nervous. lol

10: It’s fine. Sougo-kun already knows that Gaku’s a nice guy.

5: Yes! Of course!

1000: Sougo-kun, you should take a deep breath to relax. Hee Hee Hoo.

100: Using a cliche; Yuki is also lovely (*´∀σ)

7: It’s called Lamaze breathing right! I know!

1: Nanase-san, you don’t have to answer it seriously.

100: Yuki’s best joke lololol

1000: I was answered seriously...

Okazaki: Yuki-kun, FIGHT!

7: Waaah! It was a joke huh! I’m sorry…!

2: Sou burst out laughing a little tho.

5: S-Sorry! The conversation was funny!

T: So then, everyone warmed up, so how about I ask for the requests soon…!

3: Eh? Has this warmed up? lol

6: It seems Sougo managed to relax. :-)

5: Feels like my fingers warmed up because I laughed...

2: He’s perfectly warmed up (Lol)

T: That’s great! Then, this time I will ask starting from the youngest again. Tamaki-san, please be the first batter!

4: K

4: “Let me hear what you would do if the Earth was gonna explode.”

7: Ah! That’s what we were talking about when everyone was watching that movie before!

4: It was suuuuuuuuuuuuper interesting!!! I cried a lot at the end.

6: Tamaki is really into it huh!

5: The Earth is gonna explode huh… What caused it?

4: I wonder? Wait, is that important?

5: It won’t explode without reason, so I’m curious.

4: Eeeeh. I dunno tho.

4: Like gas?

5: What kind of gas would it be… I’m not familiar with astronomy but, maybe there is a way to avoid explosion, so wouldn’t I look for that?

5: What kind of mechanism cause the explosion?

4: So-chan you’re a pain! That’s not it.

4: The reason doesn’t matter

4: I want to eat pudding or I want to sing together, don’t you have something like that?

3: Sougo, you’re serious huh!

1: I’m interested too so I understand Ousaka-san’s feelings.

5: Really, that���s it. I’m still curious about the cause of the explosion, but I’ll think about it.

T: It’s a grand request like a Sci-Fi movie huh! Tamaki-san, thank you.

T: Next is Iori-san please!

1: From me, “Please teach us a secret you haven’t told anyone.”

1: Because Ousaka-san has a mysterious charm. The listeners would probably also be interested in knowing  Ousaka-san’s secrets.

5: For secrets, what kind of level would be good?

1: A secret that you can talk about over the radio is fine.

5: That’s good.

100: Do you actually watch cat videos when you’re depressed or something?!

10: Do you actually prefer chili oil over tabasco or something?!

Okazaki: Neither of those really feel like secrets!

8: It doesn’t feel like disclosing secret at all.

5: Balancing is hard but, I’ll think of a secret that sound like something I’m disclosing, and something I can say over the radio.

T: Iori-san, thank you for the thrilling request! Next is Riku-san please!

7: Yes! From me it’s “Please let us hear your first impressions of the members of IDOLiSH7!”

6: A very interesting request!

2: For first impressions, you mean when we were playing basketball in the practice room? How nostalgic-.

5: We got excited so quickly that it didn’t feel like we just met. 

1: Maybe playing sports helped it too. We could feel better by exercising, and we could communicate.

7: Even if we didn’t play basketball, I think I would like Sougo-san immediately!

1: Is that the first impression from Nanase-san?

5: Thanks, Riku-kun. I’m happy. 

3: I like you too!

6: I love you too, Sougo.

1: Should I keep this situation too…?

2: Don’t stop the flow. It’ll become more embarrassing. (lol)

1: Nikaido-san, please go ahead.

2: No no, this is better from the young ones. Go on, Tama.

4: What’s with that Yama-san; don’t pass it to me!

3: Hey old man, adults should lead it!

6: Japanese people are shy huh :-(

100: Everyone’s cute huh!

10: Should we say we like us too?

8:  In TRIGGER?

9: We won’t say it.

5: Thanks everyone...! I love you too!

T: It became a heart-warming request huh! Next, can we hear a request from Kujou-san?

9: Yes. From me it’s “Show us a wild Ousaka Sougo.”

9: Ousaka Sougo gives a nice and soft impression. I think there are lots of fans who want to see something unexpected.

9: Your “12 SONGS GIFT” solo song was rock and cool too.

5: I-It’s an honor for me…!

9: It’s not just me. Surely everyone thinks the same. 

9: You didn’t really mess up on singing and dancing from the beginning but that’s because of the accumulation of steady practice right. But, from “12 SONGS GIFT”, I could feel your passion, not only your seriousness.

1000: “Maybe” was enthralling.

1000: It was free and like Sougo-kun, it was a good song.

4: So-chan, don’t screenshot it.

5: I thought I would set it as the wallpaper on my smartphone...

2: Set this rabbit chat conversation?

3: For Sougo to do that, it’s a really happy thing huh!

10000: That’s great, Sougo-kun!

4: You are more hyped than usual

5: Thank you. I’m glad I could sing that song!

10: Making Sougo-kun happy seems to have made Tenn happy too!

9: Ryuu, you don’t have to say that.

8: He’s embarrassed.

9: Takanashi-san, can’t we move on to the next request?

T: S-Sorry! I was happy about that too…! So then, next is Nagi-san please!

6: From me, “Please talk about the music that Sogo loves.”

6: Sougo talking about something he likes makes him so happy his eyes shine. The fans also want to see that side of Sougo!

1: We can’t see him since it will be the radio but we can tell that he enjoys it.

5: Thanks, Nagi-kun. You were thinking of me that way huh.

7: Sougo-san and Nagi talk about their hobbies a lot when they’re together huh!

2: Sou listens to Nagi’s anime talks seriously until the end huh.

3: Even when we talked too much and almost fall asleep, Sogo sometimes still listens and nods!

6: Sougo is good at listening! He listens to me endlessly, so I can’t stop talking about Kokona too x-)

5: I like someone telling their feelings of liking something with words. I can feel their inner love and it makes me happy too.

5: And, Nagi-kun’s conversations are full of knowledge and fun. I wanted to listen to it forever.

6: I also feel a calm happiness when listening to Sougo’s talks.

T: I want to try listening to more of Sougo-san’s talks!

*T: Like, Sougo-san’s talks about the music he loves!

5: I’m always talking on the radio but I still have a lot of things I want to talk about!

5: I’m worried about if I can make it a fun talk but I’m really happy you said you want to hear it.

T: Because it’s Sougo-san’s talks, I want to hear more! I want to know more about Sougo-san!

5: Thanks, Manager.

T: So then, next is the request from Sougo-san please!

5: Yes. My request for myself is “Pull one more request.”

3: Eh? Pull again? Why?

1: Meaning, to pull a different request, right?

5: Yeah. Everyone put a lot of thought into the requests so I want to answer even just one more.

2: That is a very Sou-ish request.

100: You don’t have to mind us so much!

1000: Yeah yeah, don’t hold back. It would be fine if you do what you want.

5: Ah, that’s not it! It’s not like I’m holding back.

5: Thinking about the requests that everyone took the time to make for me makes me very happy. So, I just want to answer a request.

5: I was actually looking forward to what kind of requests they would be until today!

5: Even though, there are some drastic requests that pop up, so I was nervous too...

100: Sougo~~~~~ You’re a good kid (*(´>ω<))ω`●）

10: Sogo-kun, you were looking forward to the requests that much!

10: Now I want to change my request to “Add one more request to answer”!

T: S-Sorry! Because of the on-air schedule, I don’t think we can add to the number of requests… ><

9: Like a magic lamp.

8: Like how a wish asking for more wishes is not allowed huh.

3: Sorry! Can we take a little break from the group chat?

3: Kinako popped out from my backpack…!

100: Kinako meaning Tsumugi-chan’s bunny?

1000: If it was powder kinako, that would be a disaster.

Anesagi: Ah man, that makes me want to eat Anmitsu. (T/N: A Japanese sweet that uses kinako and brown sugar syrup)

5: It’s true! Kinako-san, how long were you hiding there...

T: I’m sorry for the trouble Mitsuki-san!

3: I’ll send her to the office. The dorms doesn’t have a toilet for Kinako after all.

1: I’ll go too. Animals tend to runaway, so it would be safer if there are two people.

7: Maybe I’ll go too! Let’s go buy snacks on the way too!

9: I wanted to make a tea so it will be helpful if we can take a break.

T: Everyone, thank you! So then, we’ll take some break!

V2:

T: I want to try listening to more of Sougo-san’s talks!

T: Like about IDOLiSH7!

5: Being able to meet everyone was one of the biggest events in my life. And being able to meet Manager too.

5: I’m worried about if I can make it a fun talk but I’m really happy you said you want to hear it.

V3:

T: I want to try listening to more of Sougo-san’s talks!

T: Like your hidden hobby?

5: Like choosing different route to go back home? I can find something new, it’s fun. One day, Mitsuki-san and I found a coffee bean shop in the neighborhood. 

5: I’m worried about if I can make it a fun talk but I’m really happy you said you want to hear it.

ZE:A’s Kwanghee turned into Na Eun and Gun Hoo’s babysitter on KBS 2TV’s “The Return of Superman”!

New Post has been published on http://www.whatsupkpop.com/zeas-kwanghee-turned-into-na-eun-and-gun-hoos-babysitter-on-kbs-2tvs-the-return-of-superman/

ZE:A’s Kwanghee turned into Na Eun and Gun Hoo’s babysitter on KBS 2TV’s “The Return of Superman”!

Kwang Hee has had a good time with his brother-in-law.

KBS2 ‘Superman Returns’ (‘Shredol’), which was broadcast on the afternoon of the 13th, was decorated with subtitle ‘I hear your heart’.

Kojyong has transformed itself into a sloth to live slowly, even for a day, because his life was quickly trapped in the culture. However, as soon as I saw him, he threw a cry and said, “I hate my father.” He continued to intentionally slow down his behavior. I gave up in the middle and I acted as usual.

Afterwards, Gojyong said, “I am going to meet Korea’s Hulk.” Korea’s Hulk was a mixed martial arts player, Kim Dong-hyun. When Chu Sung – hoon visited the gym on the day, Kim Dong – hyun pointed at him and said, “I am an ancestor of the Hulk.”

Gwang-hee visited this good house. It was decided to take care of the children for a while to be busy with the training. Gwang-hee said that he became a fan watching military-to-TV-and-after-sex brothers and sisters.

Gwang-hee said that she has appeared in “Shredol” 3 or 4 times and said that she is confident that she can take good care of the children again. But after I said “I want you to ride my uncle elephant”, I feel like I have a hard time.

Afterwards, Kwanghee visited the dentist with the children. Gwang-hee called Park Joo-ho and said, “Please tell me if I have a job to do.” Park Joo-ho asked me to check the children’s dental exam. Gwanghee once again asserted, “I have my own secret, I will show you once, not to fear the dentist.”

Especially, he was very tense with a lot of nervousness, but thanks to Gwang – hee, he was able to get treatment seriously. After that, three went to the jjimjilbang to solve the fatigue. Bringing eggs and sikhye in the jjimjilbang When I was on the errand, Naeun poured sikhye on the floor and did not panic. She called out Kwanghee and explains the situation. She apologized that she did it, .

Sam and his brother, Wilbanks, were drawn to go fishing. However, the fish did not get caught, and Bentley, who had been watching earthworms more than fishing, almost had eaten earthworms. Sam, who had been out for a while, did not catch the fish, and at last he grabbed an enormous size of sea eel and maintained his face.
