Honda N-One Friendly 2 Seater Concept, 2016, by N-Labs. A pick-up prototype based on the N-One kei car that was presented at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Wooden trim was used on the front facia, door handles, rear deck and interior trim.

and of course i have to ask about pickup note because i am feral for it 😘😘😘

Janai!! You are a gem, I hope you know that! Also tagging @eriquin who was also so kind as to send in a request for this one 💜💜💜

So, @thefreakandthehair and I will be working out a proper outline for this amazing project some time next week but I can share a few things about it we already worked out with @firefly-party (and you can also read a scene I wrote for Lex' birthday that's happening in this universe and gives you a feeling for the dynamic we are going for and check out the amazing art already existing for it here and here)

So, the setting is as follows: CC have made it, they're THE breakthrough metal band of the year and they're about to embark on their first ever world tour when Gareth breaks his arm, badly. It's a complicated fracture and the doctor tells him he won't be able to drum for at least a few months - which is a disaster. They can't reschedule, and they really don't want to cancel the tour, so they need a replacement drummer, and fast.

Enter Will Byers, Gareth's boyfriend. He immediately suggests Steve Harington, who has played in several bands over the years, always as a hobby, but he's good, really good, according to Will. Will works as a tattoo artist and owns his own studio where Steve Harrington is a regular guest artist. Will knows Steve from way back when he used to babysit Will's friend Dustin and date his best friend Mike's big sister. He vouches for Steve as a great drummer and an even better guy and sends Gareth a link to Steve's socials with videos of some of his gigs over the years.

The CC guys are thrilled, except for Eddie, and they invite Steve to show them how fast he can learn their songs, because the tour starts in less than two weeks.

Eddie dislikes Steve right away because he's everything Eddie hated in high school, and when Steve shows up wearing a button-up and dress-pants, looking like a choir boy instead of a rock star, Eddie feels vindicated in his resentment. It doesn't help that he's unfairly attractive and talented, so he has the other boys wrapped around his finger in no time. They vote, and everyone but Eddie votes to take Steve with them, and so Eddie is forced to spend the next three months touring the world with Steve Harrington.

Other characters that will make an appearance:

Chrissy as their manager

Robin managing their social media communication

Hopper as head of security

TBD

on a less rambly note: i want to note for the record my strong support for football, both currently and generally. may we find a way to reduce the amount of brain injuries without detracting from the utter glory of smashing into each other and dodging others trying to plow straight into you etc.

As someone who hasn’t played the twst game very long I just got into it. I wanted to know about events? Like do some not come back? For example do the Masquerade, Port, Beanfest, Ghost bride, starsending events. Do those come back? I hear people say how they missed their chance to get this great card like as if it won’t ever come back and then someone on Reddit will say something like “Oh beanfest happened twice on the JP server” so which events have gotten reruns so far? I would ask about more recent ones like the Easter one but idk if it’s too recent to know if get rerun or if they clarify that it won’t come back? I was really sad to find out about the Silk outfits I missed out on when they visit the scalding sands. I also was really sad to find out i missed out on the anniversary cards because I didn’t play the game yet. I wish they would add the anniversary cards to the store at least…I want to be apart of the celebration :’)

I was looking in the shop and saw all the different groovy items you need to groovify event cards and this question just came to me so I had the urge to ask someone…

welcome to Twst! 🎉 it is a bit confusing to jump right into, especially because. they're not always consistent. :') it sounds like you're probably playing on Eng, which I'm less familiar with, but I'll try based on what I know! (I also don't always remember everything, so somebody please correct me if I get something wrong!)

first, I do recommend the Twst wiki.gg, which seems to stay pretty up-to-date on events for both the Eng and JP versions! it's a great resource for when you want to see if/when an event ran or rerun. in general, I believe that the Eng version only does reruns that have already happened in JP, so if JP has a rerun that hasn't happened yet in Eng, they should get it too eventually! on the other hand, I don't think either version has ever rerun an event more than once. :( BUT this doesn't mean you're entirely out of luck, because:

anniversary events (March for JP, January for Eng) will usually offer a chance to get both an older event SSR and an older birthday SSR in the shop, via buying a special item with exchange currency (which you get by doing pulls on the anniversary gacha, I think you need to do 100-150 pulls for enough currency to buy the item to exchange for an SSR). only SSRs though, and you're limited to one each (one birthday, one event). so if there's an SSR you REALLY want and it's already had its rerun, it's probably worth planning to save up some keys for!

as for actual reruns, they seem to come in a few different flavors:

straight-up rerun, no changes or extra cards

unchanged event story, with a new SSR of a character who wasn't in the story (e.g. Applepom Jamil)

slightly rewritten event story that includes a new SSR (e.g. Ghost Marriage, they don't seem to do this anymore though)

completely new event story that acts as either a sequel or alternate-universe version of the original (e.g. Beans Day part 2, Fairy Gala IF) (though this is pretty rare and might actually count as a separate event, rather than a rerun?)

Master Chef/Culinary Crucible events have never gotten reruns (though they might start now that we've finally gotten through all the characters in JP, time will tell). birthday and Halloween events will also rerun the previous version in addition to the new one -- for instance, Eng should be getting a Glorious Masquerade rerun this year, followed by the new (Playful Land) Halloween event. and a birthday campaign will, in addition to the new card, have a separate pickup for the previous year's birthday card.

for the specific ones you mentioned -- I think Beanfest, Ghost Bride, Fireworks, and Starsending have already rerun in Eng, so those most likely will not be rerun again (at least not anytime soon). Masquerade should be coming back for you guys this Halloween, and Portfest JUST got its rerun in JP, so that should be coming too sometime in the future! (no new SSR though, alas, I was really hoping for a little marching band sailor boy Leona. 😔) the Easter event is the White Rabbit Fest, right? that one hasn't gotten a rerun in JP yet either, so it's still on the table!

all that said, it's entirely possible they'll change the rules at some point and start doing more reruns/chances to get older event cards, especially since the game's been going on for a few years now and some cards haven't been available for a pretty long time! there's only one card that they said was for-realsies limited-time-only and wouldn't ever be available again -- Platinum Grim, since he was to celebrate the 100th anniversary -- so. there's always a little bit of hope for everything else. :D (fairy gala Ortho PLEASE COME BACK SOB)

Suzulight Carry Pickup FB, 1961. Suzuki's first kei truck had a 359cc air-cooled, 2-stroke 2 cylinder mounted under the front seats. This FB engine continued to be used by Suzuki, in 3 cylinder form, until 1987. The first two generations of Carry models were sold using the Suzulight marque rather than the as Suzukis, to emphasise the company's focus on "Light Cars"

Created by Japanese streets and taxes!

Kei cars are the least burdening cars to own in Japan, mainly because of taxes, narrow roads, and allies.

Saw this Trucks Discourse on facebook and I'm not part of that world but yeah that one on the left is delightful and I really had no idea just how wasteful and pointless the other kind is until this comparison

why is the wikipedia page for pickup ions so bad. o am murdering whichever solar physicist wrote this. why did you not mention a magnetosphere even once
