Me: *checks out the KKM fandom tag*

Me: *sees people talking about how the anime is not explicit enough about Yuuram*

Me: ...am I the only one who thought the anime made it pretty clear that Yuuram is the canon ship? O_O

that one community episode where abed loses his mind trying to determine whether nic cage is a good or bad actor but it's me trying to figure out whether my Hyperfixation Media is actually good or not

LOYALTY starts with TRUST, SO here is where you PROVE it! Ind/Sel KKM multimuse (manga based)

The site (Comic Growl) that was/is going to publish Kyou Kara Maou S! is publishing (other stuff) in English!?

Unbelievable! They're finally using AI/translators! Now the only thing we need is for the author/artist of kyou kara maou to actually do something!

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

So a few twitter updates: - Temari-sensei (the person who draws ) took down all her art because 'evil AI is gonna steal my style'. https://x.com/temari_ma/status/1856643809775591800 - Takabayashi-sensei (the actual author) posted on twitter that 'Christmas was cancelled' (2024) XDD although there were no plans at all to do something for Christmas! (she has a private account so you need to ask to be added) https://x.com/TakabayashiTomo/status/1871146662661603391

-------------------------------- Anyway, if the series ever DOES happen, there's a BIG CHANCE! that they will translate it into English. Here's an example (not kkm/maruma): https://x.com/comic_growl/status/1872479422030455290 This is great! It means they're open to English translations! Yes I know it's been 3 years since they announced KKMS. No, I don't know what happened, no updates. If they can do it for a random manga, they can do it for KKMS. Make sure next time they post maruma, you ask for it in English, since we now know they have the ability to do it. Here's Kyou Kara Maou S! Teasers (in Japanese): https://comic-growl.com/episode/3270375685338945456 https://comic-growl.com/episode/14079602755571300199

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

PS. For those who don't know, Sony has recently acquired a bigger part of Kadokawa (shares), the OG publisher of the maruma manga/novels , and also owner of Bushiroad/Comic Growl. It could be that Sony is pushing for some innovation! (Used to be Bushiroad, but they changed the name to Comic Growl)

I have recently finished three of my wips (waiting on my beta before posting), so I want to keep the momentum going. I can't decide which fic to work on next, though. Thought I might as well make a poll since I'm a little curious what people would vote on.

Como cuando tu tío te delata con tu abuelo.    o.o

Tengo mi loca teoría de que si Wolfram tenia prejuicios hacia los humanos era por la influencia de su tío, entonces ¿que hay del abuelo que se crió en una época donde eran mas cerrados? (Sin mencionar que tal vez el padre de Wolf murió durante un enfrentamiento con humanos, aun hay muchos baches -_-)

¿Como se tomara la relación de Yuuri y Wolfram?

the fact that conrart had american cultural knowledge magically beamed into his brain and was like "ok time to come up with a convincing story for why these people found me dazed and confused on the side of the road, based on the knowledge I have just acquired about their culture" and what he comes up with is "I was hitchhiking and the guy who gave me a ride kept hitting on me so I jumped out of the car and hit my head".....like homophobia was really the most American thing he could come up with

i'm riding this art motivation out as long as i can so i will give the twins the love they don't get enough of from this fandom

Maru-MA | KKM special manga chapter, volume 10. Translation from chinese by Alaxxis Sade

Die, die, you all die of cuteness~!! That’s right Wolfie, the one almost diying here is me doing this scanlation xDD he’s to much for my heart ~ <3

What are your thoughts on the kkm anime?

I’m on the 3rd season and it’s not my favorite (I’m okay with the anime since that’s how I learned about kkm)

Not a big fan of the anime, but it was an introduction to the series for me, and everything got better afterwards.

It's easier to consume the anime than any other format, so it's a good gateway to the novels.

If I were to put in order from better to worse which format of the series I like best I'd say : 1. novels (canon) 2. novels turn to drama cd (sometimes even better than the novels) 3. theater version (maomyu) 4. manga (pretty pics) 5. anime (helps visualize characters) I think the anime helps people make scenarios in their head for their faves. It would be way harder to visualize the characters doing stuff if you just had novels, manga, or cds. The anime gives a visual and auditory mental image to each character.

I can hear the characters voices while reading the novels (in Japanese), and usually visualize them with the fluidity and colors of the anime, but the shape of the manga. Idk, I think watching the anime is an important step to enjoying the series, even though the plot is trash. It's better to get it out of the way first.

My two cents!

2024 Fic in Review

Tagged by @hazelestelle

Total Number of Fics: 19

Total Wordcount: 76,707

Fandoms: 7

Smut scenes: 4 and 2 kinda mature scenes that aren't exactly smut

Most Popular Fic (by bookmarks): The Secret Endearments of Vegeta Briefs (although I don't want to count this because I started this years ago so the bookmarks have accumulated over years). The second is Crossroads.

Most Popular Fic (by kudos): Yet again, The Secret Endearments of Vegeta Briefs which I don't want to count for the same reason. My second is My Um Greg Universe.

New things I tried: Actually plotting out novels, even though I really have not made any real headway with any of them. I tried writing more descriptively than usual and create more space/environment during scenes.

Fic I spent the most time on: As usual, I spent quiet a bit of time on pretty much everything I wrote. However, I think I spent the most time on Crossroads and Girlfriend and Girlfriend. Crossroads was the most time actually writing whereas Girlfriend and Girlfriend has been a chore rereading the manga, copying down all of the text from the chapters, rewatching the show, and trying to think through how and when Saki and Nagisa should start getting together. I think I have 5 additional chapters copied at this point but I don't want to post any new chapters until I figure out at what pace to develop their relationship.

Fic I spent the least time on: Either Cracks in the Wall or Distant Scent of Flowers. I wrote each in one sitting so I'm not sure.

Favourite thing I wrote: It's between Crossroads and Cooking Oil on Canvas. I really like the mood I created in the latter, but I'm also proud of how I dealt with Tifa and Cloud's confused feelings in Crossroads.

Looking Back, Did You Write More Fic Than You Thought You Would This Year, Less, Or About What You’d Expected? Less. If I count my wips it might be about what I expected, but I am disappointed in myself for not finishing a handful of fics yet. Primarily my cheating KKM fic which I actually wrote quite a bit of but still feel really hazy about the direction. I also thought I would be getting through Girlfriend and Girlfriend more quickly.

Story Of Mine Most Under-Appreciated By The Universe, In My Opinion: I'm assuming this is still asking about stories written this year. Going off that, I would say Immortalization since I've only gotten one kudos besides the one from my lovely friend Doth. I put a lot of heart and personal emotion into that one.

Most Unintentionally Telling Story: Cooking in Oil on Canvas. I put a lot of myself into the process of Immortalization, but I think most of that was my own self-reflection rather than what I put on the page. While I had an overall plan for Cooking Oil on Canvas it took it's own turn with the smut scene. I honestly laughed at myself while writing it because of the unintentional direction it wanted to take. I had to reel it in before it turned into two smut scenes just so that I could put more unneeded kink into it xD

Biggest Disappointment: Not finishing fics I really wanted to. The main ones are the sequel to Crossroads, my KKM cheating fic, First Times Four, and my other kanojo mo kanojo wip.

Biggest Surprise: I did not expect to start writing Greg/Pearl fics. I was also surprised by how many novel ideas I can come up with even if I can't flesh out the plots lol

My Favourite Part Of Fandom This Year: I don't engage a lot, but I have enjoyed having little conversations on a couple ot4 ffvii fics. I have also really enjoyed getting into Critical Role.

Writing goals for next year: Honestly, just to finish up my wips and lingering ideas which I have not started yet. The endless pursuit of catching up with my muse. I would also really like to actually finish writing a novel, but I am also wanting to try writing children's books now :)

Did you meet last years goal?: No. My goal was to finish writing a novel and instead, I planned something like 7 but finished nothing lol

Tagging: @desperatepleasures @abyssal-narration, @thekaithing and anyone else who wants to :)

【 VII - XI 】   -    I wrapped my own arm around Wolfram’s neck as a sort of comeback and, drawing him closer, I apologized to him too.

“I’m sorry for always being a wimp. I really am sorry, especially since you got hurt getting us ahead by a point. I might cause all of your work to end up for nothing.”

“That's right,” Wolfram said in a dramatic tone after sighing loudly. “This is all because you’re a wimp. But although I’m perfectly aware that you are a wimp, do you know why I stay with you?”

“I don’t.”

Lord von Bielefeld undid a button in his collar.  His green eyes were even brighter than usual, lit up by the snow.

“Think about that before I abandon you.”
