Releasing Patreon Bonus Stories
Hey all!!
I've taken a bit of a break from writing during September, but I'm returning to working on AToC starting from tomorrow. In the meantime, since I've had my Patreon up for over a year now, I thought it would be nice to release a few of the exclusive snippets to the public.
These are only a select few that I chose randomly to release, featuring a scene from the game told through the POV of the love interests. The ones included in this file are:
R meeting the Crown for the first time in CH2
A comforting the Crown after the nightmare in CH3
D seeing the Crown dressed up for the first time in CH4
X Seeing the Crown's coronation vision in CH7
I've also included snippets showing how the Crown's parents met each other, how X met Tûjo and Heval, and how Perjin met R told from Perjin's perspective.
You can download the file from this link. It's a zip file, so you'll have to unzip it ("extract all" option after right-clicking it), then open up the index.html file in any browser of your choice. Just make sure not to move any of the files outside of its folder, or you'll break the images/fonts!
If you enjoy these snippets, consider pledging to my Patreon! You can view the total list of available snippets for each tier in this Google doc, it'll be updated as I add more stories each month.
Thanks so much for all your support over these years, hope you enjoy these bonus snippets 💖
EDIT: This post is outdated, you can find the latest release of Patreon bonus stories in this post!!

free resources to write a novel in 2024
hello hello! it's me, rach!
as the new year approaches, many of us set goals and resolutions - myself included. one of my goals for 2024 is to write a novel (I've been procrastinating on this for quite a long time now). i assume that some of you might have the same goal, that's why I'm writing this post today.
over 2023 i've been releasing some freebies for authors just like me, so I thought I could compile my favorites in this post. hope you find this useful :)
1) the writer's workbook
this workbook has over 60 exercises to help you develop characters, scenarios, etc. if you're ever stuck, I'm pretty sure this workbook will be your best friend.
2) author's corner (notion template)
this is the most downloaded freebie in my shop! it is a notion dashboard with everything you need to organize your writing and has some templates included (like scrivener)!!
3) another notion template
this one has two themes you can choose from: cottage-core and dark academia. they're very similar to the previous template, but this one is more recent and I added some new features. feel free to explore both and pick the one you like the most.
4) the author's journal
this is a cute printable with 20 pages that will help you stay on track and manage your social media accounts as a writer who shares their work online. you can also register what you're currently writing and your personal research and resources.
5) plan your book printable
this is a 6-page printable for you to fill out and plan your book easily and effectively.
6) excel sheet to organize tasks & word-count
this is a simple excel sheet, but it is very effective for keeping track of your tasks & word-count of your novels. also, it is 100% customizable to your liking!
that's all for now! feel free to explore my gumroad shop where I have plenty of freebies to grab! also, don't forget to subscribe so that you never miss any opportunity to get a goodie for free :)
hope this post was useful!
have a nice day,
rach

Where can I find patterns for making Fashion Doll Clothes?
A friend and I were chatting tonight about doll clothes, and it occurred to me that if you've never dabbled in making doll clothes before, you may not know where to find patterns for them. So I'm sharing a list with you guys of every resource I know of.
Paid-For Patterns:
Requiem Arts: https://raddollclothes.com/
This is one of the big go-to's of the community. Requiem Arts has patterns for so many different fashion dolls, from Monster High (G1 and G3) to Rainbow High, to a number of BJDs, to Barbies, and even several for the boy dolls. I've gone to them for many a Descendants pattern since not a lot of places offer them. Her blog also features a number of great posts on size differences between dolls, fixing articulation, and more.
Dollightful: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DollightfulPatterns
If you need Monster High and Ever After High patterns with easy to follow instructions, this is the place to go! Dollightful only has a handful of patterns up, but her instructions are super easy to follow. They're just as enjoyable as her YouTube videos.
Moonlight Jewel: https://moonlightjeweldolls.myshopify.com/collections/ebooks
This artist has an interesting mix of patterns for fashion dolls, once again it's a lot of Monster High, but also a little bit of Rainbow High. I have her two pattern books, and they've got some wonderful picture instructions that put into perspective how to follow along. I hadn't realized until making this post that she's released a couple of individual patterns from her YouTube videos, that's really cool!
Enchanterium: https://www.enchanterium.com/shop
The Enchanterium sisters are a delight, and their patterns for MH, EAH, and Smart Dolls encompass a wide variety of genres. They even have some 3D printing files for shoes and accessories.
Cosmomoore: https://ko-fi.com/cosmomoore/shop/sewingpatterns
Cosmomoore is great if you need patterns for Rainbow High, Barbie, or G3 Monster High. All of the G3 patterns are under the Creepy Class tag. I've tried their skirt pattern for G3 Draculaura, it was a breeze to put together when you know a few basic stitches.
Free Patterns:
Enchanterium: https://www.enchanterium.com/shop/freebies
Enchanterium offers a number of freebies at this link! Most of them are patterns from their older YouTube videos, so there's those as a resource to follow along with.
Cosmomoore: https://ko-fi.com/cosmomoore/shop/sewingpatterns
Once again, this artist has a number of freebies, but they don't have a specific tag.
Poulpe en Ciel's Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1lkI6inme4K6wxw0IqTSGGju2bIQMln_A
This artist is known for having some truly extravagant patterns for Monster High and Cave Club dolls. And she offers them in both English and French! Highly recommend checking out Poulpe on Instagram, her dolls are absolutely to die for, and she puts so much heart into making her stuff accessible for the wider community.
Chellywood: https://chellywood.com/
Chellywood's website is a diamond in the rough. If you're looking for a doll pattern for a doll most people don't make patterns for, Chelly probably has it. Her website is organized by size and goes into individualized pages for each doll line. It's fantastic. And on top of that, she has YouTube videos!
MyFroggyStuff: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOJWM4ft-CgHQI3fhqNJzWLG30C45Xl3xs-tgatId430gKVW-J8w5cB9ViW2jRPFw?pli=1&key=Y2Y2UDJ6S01Gb2EwUHRZUVJDdm9FanpMdDZzY1RR
Barbie lovers rejoice, this is your kingdom! While there's no tagging system here, Toya has patterns for everything, from mermaid tails to cute easy dresses, this is a great place to go. Her YouTube channel is also an endless resource of creativity.
If you have any resources for patterns, or for places to buy doll clothing, feel free to reblog! I'd love to include more people from our lovely doll community so people know about them!

how to watch Skyblock Kingdoms!
because i'm dragging all of you down with me.
what is Skyblock Kingdoms?:
Skyblock Kingdoms, or SBK, is a Skyblock survival server made by VikingPilot where 18 20 players are split into groups of 2 and have their own island to take care of. each island has a unique wood type, and have a monopoly over that wood type! trade between kingdoms is allowed and encouraged, but any saplings belong solely to their original island-- with the exception of oak, which is a freebie anyone can have.
the teams are theoretically a mix of seasoned skyblockers and people not as familiar with it, but in practice there's more novices than experts so comedy has quickly ensued.
what's the story?:
in most cases, SBK is more of a casual improv vibe. think Hermitcraft rather than Empires. what this means is that there's no overarching story everyone is following, but some players have bits they've decided to commit to that, in typical MCYT fashion, are spiraling. some perspectives stay away from the action, some are playing along with whatever bit is tossed their way, some have their stories to tell, and Avid is the reason i'm having to rewrite this paragraph.
we've got capitalists! we've got OSHA! we've got witches feeding the void to try and appease it so it stops eating their bridges! we've got signs of the timeline falling apart! we've got a fortune-telling wizard! we've got something trapped deep down in limbo! we've got somebody cursed to be a monkey by british sun tzu! we've got selling your soul for a weekly lootbox! we've got a kingdom being overtaken by snow and sculk! we've got an airline with a 75% mortality rate! we've got a lawyer?
as of this version of the post (Avid's episode 17, Marma1ade's episode 15, Viking's episode 13, Vintage's episode 13), the first major story arc has wrapped up and things are going in a very interesting direction.
what's the format?:
there are edited videos being released regularly on Youtube by most of the creators, but a couple of POVs are stream-only so far. however, you can easily keep up with the server shenanigans without watching any streams-- there's some stuff that doesn't make it into videos, but not anything that would leave you locked out of the loop.
you can find all of the episodes out so far in release order in this one massive playlist by Doovid! thank you Doovid <3
on top of videos and streams, SBK has songs written and performed by Avid for his episodes! please listen to Through the Void, it's really good. there's also an animation for it that's used as his intro, which is also really good. if you want to listen to cool tunes made for SBK by one of the creators, you should watch Avid.
who to watch?:
depends on what you're looking for!
if you want a focus on building, then Fixxitt and KingElffe are both working on large-scale projects that are downright stunning to see in Skyblock. if you're interested in the Void storyline, then your best bets are Avid, Marmalade, and Trog-- and if you want lore in general, you can add Rubyco, Vintage, Milkman, and Anathra (and potentially Viking) to the list. if you want something chill, then Doovid, M1G, Kale, Anathra, and Leon are pretty laid-back. if you enjoy cinematic editing, then you should check out Avid, Trog, Doovid, Leon, and Viking. if you're here for comedy, then you'll want to check out Viking, Doovid, Milkman, Leon, CodeNeon, and Kittrix, but honestly everybody gets in on that one as they mess with each other constantly. and that's still not covering everybody!
i recommend watching everyone's episode 1 to get a feel for their style and go from there. Anathra, Artemis, Neon, and Leon's perspectives start around the Ender Dragon fight, and Fool and Tea are stream-only.
who's on the server?:
as mentioned, some of these POVs are stream-only!
Dark Oak (VikingPilot + Fixxitt 412) - industry on a massive scale Cherry (Rubyco + vintage_applesauce) - friends with everyone Jungle (AvidMC + Doovid) - the universe has it out for them. Birch (TheFoolsFam + SadMilkman) - the villain is always capitalism Bamboo (M1G + KaleHameron) - space samurai shenanigans Mangrove (Marma1ade + Teaish7) - witches with a void problem Acacia (Dr. Trog + Kittrix) - triangle-loving chaos-causers Spruce (AcornBandit + Anathra) - very chill (both definitions.) End (CodeNeon + LeonSBU) - have been here the whole time! Mushroom (KingElffe + Artemis8bit) -
tl;dr Watch Skyblock Kingdoms.

A freebie for a BBF flashback, any scene/situation you really want to write but haven’t gotten to yet!! (Only if you want!)
Hey there! Here's part 2 of Prom since a few of you asked so nicely. I hope you like it!
5k Weekend Bash Drabbles
Brother's Best Friend - Prom Part 2
Jake Seresin x Reader
“What do you need a suit for?” you overhear your brother ask.
You hold your breath, trying to make out Jake’s response. “I’m taking your sister to prom.”
You gulp, waiting for Bradley to react. It takes him a full half a minute to speak and, by this point, you’re nearly passing out from lack of oxygen. “You’re what?” he says finally.
Slowly, you exhale, glancing once more at yourself in the mirror. You’ve managed to pull off some spectacular winged eyeliner for the occasion and you’re sort of hoping that you look mature enough for Jake to perhaps start seeing you a little differently. You’ve never actually spent an entire evening alone with him, not without Bradley present. And this, well, this would normally be considered, by definition, a date.
You hear Bradley and Jake shuffling about as Bradley, no doubt, tears his closet apart looking for formal attire. You, meanwhile, take some time to perfect your hairdo. Once you hear your brother and Jake head down to the main floor, you start for the stairs, holding a pair of heels by their straps in one hand and the banister in the other.
The conversation in the kitchen ceases when the floor creaks, and the two of them look up to see you coming down the steps.
Bradley smiles warmly, approaching the foot of the stairs to take your hand and give you a hug. Jake takes a few steps toward you warily, his hands tucked away in the pockets of his – Bradley’s – pants.
“You look really nice,” Jake says once Bradley releases you.
You smile at him sheepishly. “It’s the dress,” you say, absently fluffing the skirt of your gown.
Jake’s mouth curls into a slight grin but he doesn’t respond.
“Alright, you kids have fun, now,” Bradley instructs, clapping Jake on the back as the three of you make your way into the front hall. "And stay out of trouble."
Jake lets you hold his arm as you slide on your heels. “Don’t worry, Bradley,” you say, “I’ll have him home by midnight.”
…
“Any requests?” Jake asks, popping open the glove compartment for you as he pulls out of the driveway.
You rifle through his pile of CDs and pull one out at random to look at the cover. “Cowboys from Hell?” you read the front skeptically.
“Yes,” Jake declares, nodding approvingly.
You make a face and return the CD to the pile in the glove compartment. “Do you have anything in here recorded in the last decade?”
Jake eyes you with a smirk. “Trust me, you’ll like it.”
“Let’s just listen to the radio,” you suggest.
…
“You okay?” Jake asks when you stop ten feet away from the door.
You shake your head anxiously.
Jake doubles back, coming to a halt before you, and takes your hands in his. “What’s up, buttercup?”
You meet his gaze with a troubled look. “Sean’s gonna know that this is a pity date.”
Jake narrows his eyes. “First of all,” he says, “fuck Sean.”
You chuckle lightly. “I almost did.”
Jake cringes, dropping your hands immediately. “Eww, I don’t wanna know.”
You raise your eyebrows, amused by his reaction. You imagine your brother would likely respond in the same way, however, so you don't read into it too much. “And second of all?” you ask.
Jake sighs sharply. “Second of all, this is not a pity date. I’m not that compassionate.”
You laugh. Jake likes to act all tough but you know him better than to buy that. “Yeah, you’re such a dick,” you agree with a shake of the head.
“And don’t you forget it,” he says, falling in step with you. He puts a hand on your lower back as he leads you inside. “By the way,” he says, lowering his head so that you could hear him over the music. “It’s not the dress.”
You gulp, nearly fainting as his breath washes over your cheek, and glance up to look at him. “What?” you utter, not even noticing all the stares you get because you've arrived to prom with a college boy.
He stops walking once the two of you are on the dance floor and he holds his hand out for you to take it as a slow song comes on. “You said it’s the dress, when I told you you looked nice,” he reminds you, closing his fingers around your hand while he rests his other hand on your waist. “It’s not.”
You gaze at him, speechless for a moment as he starts to sway you to the – now distant sounding – melody.
“It’s you.”

Formula 1 Photocards For Palestine! 🏎️🍉
I have 14 custom photocards of Formula 1 drivers laying around, that I’ve been meaning to give away or sell since I’ve lost interest in F1. Then it dawned on me — instead of charging customers directly, why not make it a donation drive to help people in Gaza?
So that’s what I’m doing!
Products
I have one photocard of each of the following drivers: Alex Albon, Valtteri Bottas, Pierre Gasly, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Esteban Ocon, Sergio Pérez, Daniel Ricciardo, George Russell, Carlos Sainz, Yuki Tsunoda, Max Verstappen, and Zhou Guanyu. Again, there is only ONE card of each driver available, so get your fave before he’s gone! The photos on the cards can be viewed here.
I’m also selling toploaders that I’ve decorated myself! Closeup images of these toploaders can be viewed here. On the availability list, the toploaders are numbered as follows:
You can buy only a photocard, only a toploader, or both, or more than one of either! It’s up to you 🍉
Prices/Minimum Donations
(All prices are listed in USD, since I live in the US (California specifically), but conversion rates between currencies should be easy to find.)
Payment for cards and toploaders will be through making a donation to a relief organization or Palestinian fundraiser. Here’s a list of options you can donate to.
Photocard: $2 each
Toploader: $3 each
As well, for an extra $0.50, I’ll add in a photocard stand!
I'll also add in a couple freebie stickers! 🍉
Of course, you can make a larger donation if you’d like and if you have the money! The ‘prices’ listed are minimum donations to make for a purchase — for example, donate at least $5 to buy a card and a toploader; or donate at least $2.50 to buy a card and a stand. If you’re only in a position to make the minimum donation, though, that’s totally fine too. Money is tight for a lot of us ❤️🩹
The Process
DM me on this blog to begin an offer. Select which photocard(s) and/or toploader(s) you'd like to purchase (examples: toploader #20, Alex Albon photocard). Here's the list of which cards and toploaders are still available.
Make your donation to at least one of any of these fundraisers. Donations to multiple fundraisers are fine too, so long as it adds up to the minimum donation amount for your purchase! Then, once you've donated, send me proof via DMs. This can be as simple as a screenshot of your donation's confirmation. Also let me know which fundraiser(s) you've donated to so I can add onto it. Ideally, send me your purchase selection and donation proof at the same time.
I'll then send you your purchase! Note that after you donate and send proof, I'll ask you for an address to mail to. For those worried about privacy, all private messages on this blog stay private. I will not release, share, or sell your address to anyone else, or use it for anything other than mailing your purchase to you. For mailing, note again that I live in the USA.
I'll also donate double the amount of money in your donation to the same fundraiser(s) you gave to. For example, if you donated $5 for your purchase, I'll donate $10. I will send you confirmation of my own donation via DMs.
Questions? Feel free to send me an ask or a message.
After You Purchase
Keep sharing Palestinians' stories. Amplify their voices. Talk to friends and relatives about the dire situation in Gaza and urge them to help too. I of course can't speak for the people affected by the war and constant uncertainty, life or death, I'm just a fellow in the States hoping to help even in a small way.
If you have the money available to, keep donating to fundraisers and relief efforts. If you don't, share links to these fundraisers with others, especially those who can donate. Our brothers, sisters, and nonbinary kin in Gaza need every bit of support they can get!
Know somebody into Formula 1? Somebody who digs photocards and deco toploaders? Somebody in the kpop scene? Just anyone looking for a fun avenue to contribute to a good cause? Send this post to them and encourage them to buy!
Once your purchase comes in, tag me if you post pictures of it!
I'm super excited to be launching this donation drive, and I hope you'll join me in helping Palestinians on their races for safety, stability, and hope for the future once again.
Let's get donating!
It's lights out and away we go! 🏁
#formula 1#formula one#f1#photocard#custom photocards#toploader#deco toploader#mutual aid#for palestine#free gaza#free palestine#alex albon#valtteri bottas#pierre gasly#lewis hamilton#charles leclerc#lando norris#esteban ocon#sergio perez#checo perez#daniel ricciardo#george russell#carlos sainz#yuki tsunoda#max verstappen#zhou guanyu#donations for palestine#donations for gaza#fundraiser#f1 photos

CARRD TEMPLATE #09: SAPIENTA / demo / free
this is more of an overhaul of a template i made for a friend, i thought i'd brush it up a little bit and release it as a freebie because it's quite simple. this is at or near the 50 element limit, so it is free plan friendly.
HOW TO’S / INFO
— please do not remove the credit from the carrd regardless of how much you change it / frankenstein it. same case for please do not resell or redistribute it. if i find people removing my credit, i'm going to either remove the template or make it paid. — comes with a rules tab, about page, and verses tab. single-muse focused. mains / exclusives are present in the rules. — all the images will need replacement, and images may need manual adjustment for size vs content. the second about page image is just 3 images placed into one to save space. you can either do the same, put a simple focal image, or remove it to save an element. — tips are highly appreciated, but not expected. :]
if you have any carrd account, you can get the template here!
(if you’d like to upgrade, you can use my referral code ASURAIDART as well)

Hellven Updates | APRIL
Lets see whats new aye, got a lot of exciting stuff! Rejoice for I have FINALLY finished all 20 background sets. So 3D models and props are ready to go! That task was a chore in itself, probably my least favorite part of this project.
Eitherway, you'll get to see those backgrounds in the panels of the novel.
Freebie - Concept panel
Novel: Onto the novel itself, Hellven is coming along well. I'm half-way through the rewrite. As a quick summary, Hellven was originally a script that I am turning into a full-length novel. That's why the rewrites are taking so long and I've had to push the release date of this first book later this year perhaps around summer. Out of 16 ( unedited chapters ) 9 have been rewritten clocking in at 240p, or 20-30p (4k words) per chapter. The whole "script" is sitting at 400p. I'm predicting this first book to be around 600 - 800 pages. This isn't a fanfic, so I can't really give updates on the novel as one would do for a comic. It's a strange adjustment, but I hope all of my comic concepts is enough to fill in the gaps while we wait.
Novel Mature content: Hellven is a dark supernatural poly romance, it will have mature content and horror imagery, but nothing explicit. Because of this, I've added a 18+ label to any work that is suggestive on my patreon. However, I want to make it clear that Hellven is NOT a smut book.
Hellven contain sex, as topics of sexuality and gender are big themes in the novel. The story caters more to people on the romantic character drama side rather than pure smut lovers. Graphic depictions of sex and genitals will not be shown. That said, I'm not opposed to NSFW material as a whole, far from it, but I don't want to mislead anyone.
Freebie - Concept panel
Wow that was a long update. Eitherway, you can support Hellven over on my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/lunaartgallery view behind the scenes content, concept and panels!
Bye for nows :)
#update#comic#novel#graphic novel#hellven#art#suggestive#The new tumblr mature filters are an adjustment to me. I don't think this one is too bad? I dunno.

Simulated sales in OFB business made optional and lot-based
My health continues to be somewhat cooperative, allowing me to create and be active in the community, so I thought I'd start releasing some of the mods I've had in my game for a long time but never shared. Today's offering is my alternative to BoilingOil's simulated sales, creating a global add on to cash registers that allows you to set a sales type on a lot by lot basis, rather than the global all businesses approach that BO took :)
For those unfamiliar with BO's original mod, a simulated sale is one where the business owner gets paid, but the customer does not lose household funds nor do they receive anything in inventory. Helpful if you do not want your townies to come with inventories full of freebies they never actually paid anything for, or if you don't want your playables to burn their household funds as visitors on owned businesses :) Squinge came up with the idea originally, with his shopnosaveitem that made playables do fake purchases, and then BO added to it by making it fake for all customers. I found myself somewhere in between, wanting some sales to be fake, and others to be real. My poor farmers and crafters work hard to make their goods, having them vanish is depressing, but I don't need my Sims going around with cars in their pockets either. So I created this, which allows me to pick a different sales model for every business, giving myself more flexibility. I love flexibility!
Default behavior is normal sales. Through the settings (which appear on cash registers) you can choose to make them always be simulated, or to make them simulated only for playables, or only for townies (meaning anyone that isn't a playable Sim). The original normal/simulated I have been using without issues in my game for 6 years. Giving the option to treat playables and townies different is a recent edition, not as thoroughly tested but has worked fine in my recent tests. Changing the setting only applies to customers that got in line to pay after the setting changed. Anyone that was already waiting, will use the prior setting.
Download from simfileshare
Conflicts with shopnosaveitem and simulated sales. Replaces both, so just remove them. Will conflict with anything that alters pie menus on cash registers, and likely with anything that adds BHAVs to cash register semi-globals. If you find one let me know and I will add known conflicts here. No promises to resolve them, depends on my health. Load order will not help, if there is a conflict it will need to be resolved, or you have to choose. UPDATE: Conflicts with simler90's Business Mod. I will not be making a compatible version, it's too complicated. If mine loads last, you will get my functionality but lose any of his that revolve around cash register purchases, so it's up to you if you feel his mod or mine is most important to you :) UPDATE: Conflicts with Numenor's global mod that adds practice interaction to cash registers. If you use Numenor's mod, please download this compatible version instead. Load mine last, and both will work :)
No clue what EPs are required. I am on M&G, that's what I mod for. Should be fine in UC. Whether or not it works on something lower, I do not know.

From what I've been seeing it feels like PB is focusing on quantity over quality. Things like Obey Me, TWST, and Nu-Carnival has a sizeable group of characters, but they're not too huge so it allows them to flesh each one out to a certain extent, but then they can introduce a diverse set of cards on each of them so you're not starving too much.
WHB has not only has 6 Kings and one more on the way, but they also keep introducing more nobles and angels. In a way it's not bad, but this is why I seriously feel it is a case of quantity and not enough quality. From what I've seen in this community, characters that have been in the game since Day 1 are being super neglected. Then we a have every new L card released being paywalled, nightmare passes that also have the top rewards paywalled, are more frequent, even this time around the S+ card requires more gold keys and it doesn't have anything remotely special about it whereas the last S+ did which was extremely exclusive only. Honestly it's...really sad. Now you don't NEED these cards and I'm not asking for freebies, but in the end they are asking for your life savings for even just the decent stuff, and then you still have to deal with the gacha to do that.
I personally need a decent amount of characterization to really appreciate a character so I do appreciate the world building but no character has stuck with me yet. So everytime a new one is released I go: "Okay but what about like...the existing ones?" Our last one was Leraye, which I'm sorry, it's just a reskinned of his OG card and I found that really scummy which was probably why he was locked through achievements which...was the saving grace still it was the only time it happened. The story was nice though.
I don't want to come off as ungrateful and I probably am, but I just don't understand PB's decisions on what they're doing anymore. We can't use the "they're a small company" card, I'm sure they're not the only small company, but I don't have any sources, but so far this is the first time I seen company really just throw their community into a blender like this...then again I only played like 3 other gachas which isn't a lot.
💭
hey there 💭 anon!
This observation came right in time with how I'd like to pretty much introduce the game to new players that are flocking in.
PB's decisions as of late to change how we get currencies, paid banners, and the progression of the main story and character building has been a damn journey.
I don't think you're ungrateful, I wouldn't call anyone that honestly because as the consumer YOU are the the one, p2p or f2p, in the end that has be entertained by this nsfw game. The only one in existence that is catered to both women and men audiences. With that in mind, you'd expect to see something worth buying/taking up nearly 8gb of space on your phone for.
When the game was first teased, me and my friend were talking about it and she was overwhelmed by the amount of characters they kept showing, I met her through the Obey Me fandom, so that was our bread and butter for the majority of conversations. When I moved on to WHB, she didn't come with, she stayed for like maybe a week or two and dropped it. I forget mostly why which I could ask her again on her opinion.
But I'll let you in on something I saw the other day, the community over in LaDS has been having some issues with their banners/other gacha related things as well stating that this recent banner is driving players away. I don't play LaDS but PB isn't the only company it seems starting to switch things up when it comes to decisions.
The S+ cards confuse me because what they introduced was hey here's beach Rara (Raphael) and he has an adore mode, a story with mild spice, and you chats/more lore about this bitey boi. I had so much fun reading through that. Amy and Sitri's all we get are the likability things and well from the previous expectation? That made me shake my head. (also for the extra gold keys thing, apparently it's only that high if you want to get it early, the card is going into the banner immediately after the event so in theory we all literally could have waited to pull them so we wouldn't have to spend that amount of gold keys)
As far as content goes, I think ultimately there's too many characters to work with. If anyone on the staff has a brain like me, it would be very easy to neglect characters here and there. I also do not like that Gehenna has yet ANOTHER noble (sorry Amy) but other countries are lackin'.
Also unrelated...WHERE IS GEHENNA'S GROUP PHOTO U G H.
Niflheim needs one too.
All in all I hear you. Chapter 6 and Mammons/Amy's events though have me believing that the best has yet to come, these banners though....we will see... Maybe things will pop off when Asmodeus debuts..

Official Simblreen Announcement!
This is my official announcement that I'm joining this year's Simblreen event! This will be my second time participating in Simblreen, however, unlike last year's event, I plan on having a porchlight on which will only be open for the days that the main Simblreen event is taking place which is on October 20-22, 27-29 (if you guys need specifics, my time zone is GMT +8). I will make a separate post on this blog when my porchlight is on or off. However, please read my instructions carefully since there is a trick to my trick-or-treating event!
In order to access any freebies from me, you have to choose between TRICK or TREAT for each weekend. And depending on your answer, that will be the cc set that you will receive from me. (Kind of similar to a gacha game but you actually still win either way) I have prepared 4 different sets so choose carefully whether you'd want a trick or a treat. Since this is my first time having a porchlight on, I didn't want to overwhelm myself too much with receiving asks, so you can only ask me once each weekend for which cc set you would like. Any duplicate asks that I might receive will all be deleted.
While the overall theme for all the sets from me this Simblreen is "mouth accessories," each set has its own specific vibe and themes and I won't be letting you guys know which one is which except for the last weekend in order to avoid any trigger warnings. The first sets on the first weekend aren't really Halloween-themed so I hope you guys don't mind but the ones on the second weekend are (however I'm pretty sure you guys can still use it outside of Halloween). To those who are scared of not being able to get all of my freebies, don't worry! I plan on releasing everything at the end of the Simblreen event! So everyone can enjoy all of my content^^ (And IF I still have time and energy, I might even add extra goodies to publicly post on my blog for those who are too shy to participate sdfghjkl)
For the last weekend (October 27-29), I am letting you all know in advance that the trick option has some sensitive content which has the following tags: " #tw blood #tw body parts #tw gore #tw eyeball #tw meatcore #tw slight body horror " If you are highly sensitive to any of these topics, please choose the TREAT option instead. If you make the mistake of choosing this and I already sent you the link to the TRICK option, you will just have to wait till the end of the event to get everything. I will reblog this a few more times so most of you can see this post so those who are interested are informed.
Any questions? Please let me know so I can clarify! That's all, I hope you guys enjoy! ☆*: .。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

The Fox - A Pedrotober Drabble
Day Fourteen of Pedrotober: Freebie Pedrotober Hosted by @norththelemon and @alyssamariag. View the full prompt list HERE and view my entire Pedrotober drabble catalog HERE.
Pairing: Javi G x f!reader (set in the same universe as "Mariposa" and "Javi's Sunshine" by @imdrinkingpedro). I highly recommend reading them before this but it isn't necessary to read this drabble.
Rating: G for Gutierrez family friendly! General themes regarding pregnancy and brief allusions to struggling with fertility.
Word Count: 654
a/n: This had to be written. The fox has ruined me. When he was handed the exact fox that was in my head for Sofia in "Mariposa" I literally flung myself into the sun.
You never fully believed that you'd be here.
Not in this physical space, certainly, standing outside the extravagant house you now call home, surrounded by a wealth of your family and friends amidst the lemon trees and flowers. And certainly not in an emotional sense either, so overcome by the unmistakable bloom of love in your chest when you meet Javi's eyes from across the patio that it makes you wonder if any of this is real.
But more than anything else, you never thought you'd be here. Celebrating something that you had convinced yourself would never happen.
Javi makes his way toward you, focused solely on returning to your side even as guests attempt to stop him. You laugh lightly as you watch him fend off conversation after conversation until he's weaving an arm around your waist, his other hand automatically joining yours where it rests on your stomach.
"How is she?" he asks, voice dripping with concern, but it only makes you wonder if you could be any more in love with him.
"She's doing just fine," you reassure him, pressing a kiss to his cheek, "and so am I, thanks for asking."
He kisses you, love poured into the motion as his fingers continue to caress your stomach where your daughter has decided to make a stir. "I'm sorry, Mariposa," he apologizes the second he pulls back, tugging you closer against his side, "I just worry."
Your expression softens, "I know you do. I worry, too." It's an honest statement. The journey to the baby shower you stand at now has been long, with its fair share of heartbreak, but just like the miracle that brought you to Javi, a miracle brought you both here.
"Javi! Mari!"
The squeal of a familiar voice cuts through the crowd, and it's only a moment before you see the blur of Sofia as she barrels into your husband. Javi is barely able to maintain his balance with the way she's clinging to him, her arms slung around his neck in a tight hug. She's getting bigger now, but he's still able to hold her in his arms as you rub her back in greeting.
"Hi Little Duckling," you soothe, grinning as the girl's mother, Helene, trails after her, watching as Sofia finally lets Javi release her back to her feet. "Are you enjoying the party?"
She nods excitedly. "I am. I like the tulips," she notes immediately, referencing the flowers littering the patio. "I have a gift for you!"
You glance at Helene out of the corner of your eye as Javi kneels to Sofia's height. When you first met them, she was shorter than him, even when he kneeled. Now, she's several inches taller, and she's holding a small gift wrapped in simple yellow paper out for your husband to take.
"This is for us?" he asks, carefully examining the package.
Sofia nods eagerly. "Open it!"
Javi looks up to you and you nod, taking Sofia's hand in yours as he unwraps the paper, revealing a small stuffed fox. You recognize it immediately, and it causes your breath to catch in your lungs. It's the very stuffed fox Sofia had been holding the day you met her. The day you met Javi.
"It's for the baby," she explains.
Tears spring to your eyes as you squeeze her hand. "Sofia, you don't have to..." you insist, voice cracking with emotion and preventing you from saying anything else. Javi looks like he's about to cry too, his hands gently running over the soft fabric until Sofia carefully reaches out to close his fingers around the plush.
"It's my gift to her. He kept me safe growing up and now he'll keep her safe too."
And when your daughter is born a few weeks later, as you watch her small hands cling tight to the fox, you find yourself thankful that this is where you are.

Magic for Witches with Limited Hand Mobility
Joint pain, stiffness, and limited hand mobility can be discouraging for when we want to practice witchcraft. Here are a few ideas on things you can still do even with limited hand mobility!
This post was released for early access over on Patreon! If you enjoy my content and want to show your support for my work, you can subscribe to my Patreon for as little as $2/month! You can sign up for a week-long free trial now and check out all the rewards I offer - including digital freebies, early access to my Tumblr posts, voting power on future blog posts, and access to my digital occult library and my research notes!
Candles
Candle-Carving
Instead of tediously carving thin chime candles (which can be difficult to grasp for those with hand mobility issues), here are some alternate options.
Decorate your candles with permanent markers, acrylic paint, or stickers! Of course, be sure to take necessary precautions to protect yourself against fire hazards when planning on your decor options – for example, make sure acrylic paint is completely dry before deciding to burn your candle, don’t cover 100% of the candle in paint, and be sure to use non-toxic paint. For stickers and other decals, please be sure to use a burn-safe method, such as this! Please do not use regular stickers to decorate any candles you intend to burn, as it is a massive fire hazard. Of course, if you’d like to decorate candles that you do not plan on burning, more options open up for you! Decoupaging candles is a fun, creative way to make candles for your altar, or even to use as room decor. You could also decorate candles as offerings to your deities!
Something that would require a bit more use of your hands would be decorating you candles by painting them with candle wax! All you need is a few paintbrushes, the candle you’ll be decorating, and candles in the colors that you’d like to paint with. This TikTok is a great guide for getting started with wax painting! This option is great because it’s 100% safe to be burned.
Write whatever you want on your candle on a piece of paper, and place your candle on top of the piece of paper. I personally use tea light candles and place the piece of paper inside the metal casing, underneath the tea light candle itself. Again, be sure to take all precautions against fire hazards when burning candles!
Instead of drawing or carving into the candle itself, use a dry-erase marker to draw on your candle holder!
Lighting Candles
Using lighters and matches can be tricky - here are some alternate options for those who are unable to use lighters/matches, and for those who just aren't a fan of/can't utilize fire!
Use LED candles - you can write on them with markers, and they are a safe alternative for those who don't enjoy fire. They're also super portable which is great for travel! You may also use different LED lights - I've personally toyed with the idea of wrapping spell jars/crystals/other items in LED string lights to 'charge' the items.
Electric lighters - these lighters don't require any kind of 'flicking' motions like regular lighters do; plus, they're rechargeable! This electric lighter is the one I use at home, and I absolutely love it!
Keeping a Grimoire
Note taking, research, and keeping an organized grimoire is difficult enough without the troubles of limited hand mobility. Here are a few things to make it a tad easier.
Utilize text-to-speech and screen reader functions. When you find a tidbit of info you want to save (whether it’s from Tumblr, a book, or somewhere else), take an audio recording of the text-to-speech audio (or, read the content out-loud and record yourself) and save it for later! This saves you time and energy with hand-writing or typing notes.
If you don't utilize a digital grimoire already, you absolutely should! There are free and paid programs such as Google Docs, Evernote, Notion, and many others that are designed to be digital notebooks and are perfect for keeping a grimoire. You can attach images, videos, text, audio files, and so much more!
Cartomancy (Tarot & Oracle Cards)
Shuffling cards can be difficult and frustrating. Here are some ideas to avoid shuffling altogether!
Use a tarot app on your phone - I personally love the Labyrinthos app!
If you still prefer to have physical cards, a more crafty idea is to make your own tarot cards - either print them off or make them yourself (you can also use tarot stickers! I personally use these for my tarot journal), about 2-3" in size. (To make cutting the cards easier, you can get a large guillotine-style paper cutter, like this one that I use to cut my zines) Once your cards are ready, throw them in a bowl or in a large jar. To 'shuffle' the cards, mix them up by-hand or shake the jar! When you're ready to conduct a reading, simply pull cards out of the container. (You could do the same thing with your regular-sized cards, although they may get damaged from doing this, so I don’t entirely recommend it)
Spellcrafting
Spelljars
Spelljars are all the rage right now. However, they can be more rage-inducing for those of us who have trouble shoving a bunch of herbs into a tiny-mouthed jar. So, here are some alternate ideas!
Use bigger, wide-mouthed jars - is it a bit chaotic to use an old pasta jar as a spell jar? Yes. Is it just as effective as those tiny, aesthetic spell jars everyone else uses? Also yes. Plus, they're much easier to handle and easier to re-use!
Use alternate containers like ziploc bags, envelopes, or anything else you have in your house! Obviously, use common sense (you wouldn't want to put anything sharp in a ziploc bag, or anything wet in an envelope) - but you can use any old container or bag to carry out spellwork.
You can also throw all your ingredients onto a pretty plate as you craft your spell! Lay it out however you’d like – you could even get creative and make something like a zen garden out of your ingredients. Once you have it completed, you can meditate on the spell for a while, and ditch the ingredients.
Ditch the container altogether – make potions! Throw everything in a big bowl or pot, stir it up, and utilize it however you see fit. You can make potions/perfumes for your deities, elemental potions/perfumes representing the elements for your altar, and so much more. I personally love to look at those “calm-down sensory-friendly glitter bottles” on Pinterest as inspiration when I’m in the mood for crafting potions – bottled potions also make for great props in Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, during Halloween, etc. It can be a relaxing activity, even if you don’t intend on using it for witchcraft purposes.
Charm bags – charm bags, in my opinion, were the OG spell jar. Throw a bunch of herbs into a mesh or cloth bag and you’re all set! Charm bags are great for sleep/dream magic, bedroom magic, bath magic, and are great options for spellwork on-the-go – just throw a charm bag that corresponds with what you need in your purse/bag/backpack, and you’re good to go!
Digital Spellwork
Tech witchery is my favorite thing to recommend when it comes to those who may be bedridden, dealing with limited mobility, or even those in the broom closet. Here are just a few ideas to carry out spells in the digital realm!
Emoji spells! There are tons of examples available on Tumblr – emoji spells are a great low-effort, time-saving way of conducting spellwork.
Utilize objects in your favorite sandbox video games - Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons are all great platforms to carry out some digital spellwork. @shadow-the-witchblog and @fernthewhimsical both have fantastic ideas on conducting spells in Minecraft, and @stardewspellshed is a blog entirely dedicated to laying out the correspondences and ways to utilize Stardew Valley in your practice. The fun thing about utilizing video games is you can really make it your own!
Create digital collages! Gather up images that remind you of your craft or evoke the outcome of the spell you want to conduct (for example, if you want to create a spell for self love, print out some images of rose quartz, pink/red imagery, confident motivational quotes, etc). Use these collages as your phone/computer background, or print them out and put them up in your room/car/cubicle!
To feel more connected with nature/plants, you may also download plant-care apps or games on your phone! Same goes for pets and familiars – apps are a great way to feel more connected to your practice.
Salves, Tinctures, Oils and More
Making tinctures, salves, oils etc. is a great way to kill two birds with one stone. This lemon & eucalyptus pain-relieving oil is an easy oil to make during flare-ups!
Spell powders and dusts are another great thing you can make with little-to-no-effort. Bree NicGarran (@breelandwalker) has a whole arsenal of spell powders available on her blog, and also in her book, Pestlework: A Book of Magical Powders & Oils. Instead of a mortar and pestle, however, you may opt to use an herb grinder, coffee grinder (just be sure to clean it before/after!), or even a blender with some extra care.
Room sprays are a great way to apply a general “mist” of something to an area. You can mix and match different elements such as moon water, sun water, herbs, crystals, and more to create a spray specific to your needs. Simply throw all the ingredients in a spray bottle and you’re good to go!
Altars, Prayers, Deity Work
Keeping up with deities and altars is taxing even when you’re able-bodied. For someone with limited hand mobility, it can be even more difficult to keep up with. Here are some ideas to aid you with your deity work!
Digital altars are one of my favorite things to utilize. They are easy, convenient, and you don’t have to worry about spending money, making space, or keeping your altar clean when it’s all digital! Pinterest, Discord, Tumblr, and other sites are all great ways of keeping altars. You can use photos, videos, audio, poems… anything you want!
Devotional prayer-writing or writing poetry is another great way to connect with your deities. Instead of hand-writing for your deities, you can opt for typing or voice-recording your devotions! In times of need, you can play your recordings back to yourself.
I feel that it’s worth mentioning that, no matter you energy level or where you’re at on the pain scale, your deities will meet you in the middle. They will be there for you, whether or not you’ve been offering them extravagant meals or can only muster up enough energy to light a candle in their honor. No offering or devotional act is too small, and they will understand that your health and well-being must come first.

These calls accompany Victor’s High School SSR “Carefree Years,” but don’t contain any spoilers from the story itself~ ❤️
⌚ This post contains detailed spoilers for content yet to be released on the global server! ⌚
•─────⋅◍♡◍⋅─────•
【1ST CALL】
Victor: The playlist a certain someone just shared with me seems to be a bit different from her usual taste.
Victor: “Melodies that accompanied us through those years of youth” ...
Victor: What’s gotten you so nostalgic suddenly?
MC: Haha, I stumbled upon this through random notifications and found it quite fascinating~
MC: So, speaking of which, what kind of stuff would you usually have playing on your earphones back when you were at school? It wouldn’t be all English listening exercises, right?
Victor: Set your wild thoughts aside, and yes, of course, I would also listen to music sometimes.
Victor: But there were also times when I would have nothing playing at all.
MC: You mean like simply leaving them in your ears?
Victor: Yeah. Seeing you with your earphones on, some of the individuals who are tactful enough won’t come forward to initiate a conversation again.
Victor: Doing this is convenient to save yourself from a lot of unnecessary hassles.
MC: Turns out, it can also be used as a shielding device! What a cool way to pull a “switcheroo”! Speaking of which, I’ve had similar experiences too.
MC: Victor, do you know what other things an electronic dictionary can be handy for besides looking up words?
Victor: Importing e-books in .txt format.
MC: Ah, so, you did this too!
Victor: Nope. I caught people in the act.
MC: You wouldn’t be...
Victor: Mm-hmm. I was in charge of inspecting such rule-breaching activities back then.
MC: ...humph, I have nothing more to discuss with someone who used to be an inspector.
MC: But out of curiosity, what would happen if I were to be caught red-handed by you?
Victor: I would most likely rap on your desk, signaling for you to step outside with me.
Victor: And then, I would confiscate the electronic dictionary and hand you a registration form.
Victor: [putting on a voice but doesn’t sound strict at all, subconsciously reminding himself she is my girlfriend and I’d get hell later LMAO] “Classmate, write your name here, and remember not to get caught by me again.”
MC: That strict? What if I plead with the Discipline Inspector for leniency~
MC: [you’re supposed to put on a cute voice here haha] “I bought this with the pocket money I saved for a long time! Please, inspector classmate, let me off the hook, pretty please, sob sob sob~”
Victor: Based solely on your tone over the phone call, I can’t feel much sincerity or remorse.
Victor: I’ll be home shortly, and I’m looking forward to your in-person demonstration.
Victor: Then, I’ll carefully mull it over whether to let you off the hook, or not.
—
—
【2ND CALL】
Victor: MC, your package just arrived, and it had some damage to the box when it was delivered. So, I went ahead and unpacked it for you.
Victor: But why did you buy a whole box of steam eye masks and eye patches?
MC: Well, the seller happened to be running a promotion, and I couldn’t resist the temptation...
Victor: Mm-hmm, you do get tempted very easily.
Victor: If not for that, we wouldn’t have a stockpile of “buy three, get one free” laundry detergent at home, nor would we have those Hawaiian-themed bath towels as “freebies for signing up.”
Victor: Let’s make it clear beforehand, don’t pull me into “using them up” together when the time comes.
MC: Victor, don’t be so heartless. I’ve put a lot of thought into selecting these items this time.
MC: You may not be aware, but steam eye masks come in many different scents nowadays.
Victor: Chamomile, rose, eucalyptus... I can understand how these floral scents might work, but coffee aroma? Are you sure it can help with sleep?
MC: Oh no, that one’s for keeping you energized! I hadn’t heard of this one before, so I decided to purchase it and give it a try~
MC: They claim its effectiveness is on par with the eye exercises we used to do in our student days; it not only provides eye protection but also refreshes and sharpens the mind.
Victor: In that case, why don’t you consider resuming the eye exercises twice a day from now on? Who knows, it might yield even better results.
MC: In the world of adults, it’s very challenging to squeeze out time for exercise.
Victor: I’m not entirely convinced of that.
Victor: If you utilize all this time you spend shopping impulsively on online sites, it will be sufficient.
MC: Humph, when I get home tonight, I’m gonna make you join me for an eye mask evaluating session!
Victor: I’m afraid my eyes won’t be able to handle such a heavy responsibility.
MC: Well, even though a certain someone says that, in the end, he will still cooperate with me~
MC: When the time comes, I will have the aromatherapy and candles prepared, and we’ll start with the eyepatches to kickstart the relaxation process.
MC: After that, we’ll apply the eye masks for a complete relaxation session.
Victor: ...couldn’t we perhaps spend this time better participating in some outdoor activities, something that genuinely focuses on eye health and relaxation?
Victor: Instead of relying on flashy remedies, it’s more effective to go out and do some physical activities.
MC: Hehe, have you realized that we have already mapped out a perfect weekend itinerary?
MC: Why don’t we just go to that camping site we’ve been wanting to go fishing for a long time! Hold on, I’ll call to make a reservation shortly.
Victor: It seems like a certain someone had this all planned out in advance, am I right?
MC: It’s all thanks to CEO Victor’s guidance that this small idea was implemented in reality so efficiently~
Victor: I think I’d prefer to experience your “efficiency” in other aspects.
Victor: Why don’t you start by making a checklist of the camping essentials we’ll need?
Victor: And after you’re off work, try to get back home a bit earlier. I’ll have the aromatherapy and candles prepared in advance to create a cozy work-friendly atmosphere for a certain someone.

guide to jjk events when visiting japan!
a hopefully helpful post for when you are vacationing at japan and want to experience anything jjk-related!
all jjk events and pop-ups can be found on collabo cafe, here
For events like the jjk exhibition (the next one is from 4/19/2025 to 6/8/2025 in osaka i think), reserve your ticket as soon as possible as the days and time slots usually sell out quick! The exhibition uses the website “eplus,” which makes it hard for foreigners to reserve a ticket because you need a japanese name and address. Those might be easier to bypass as you can use a translation of your name and your hotel address, but the hardest part is needing a japanese phone number to verify your account via sms.
If you need a japanese phone number, I suggest calling the inquiry number on jujutsuten.com, the exhibition website. The help line might only take japanese inquiries, so if your call doesn’t work or you cannot call via an international number, try asking your hotel to make that call for you!
For pop-ups (i.e. collaborations with malls like loft), there usually isn’t a reservation required and it is first-come-first-served. However, the later you go to a pop-up from its start date, the more likely it is that specific goods are sold out. For example, sanrio x jjk merch was out of stock when compared to other goods in the last week of a pop-up. The location and time-span of a pop-up can be found on collabo! The benefit to going to a pop-up is getting limited edition goods, and if you spend a certain amount, there are freebies with your order.
For the weekly shonen jump (relevant for jjk until the end of september), weekly copies are typically sold in any konbini — 7-11, Lawson, or FamilyMart — starting Mondays at 5am local time. Leaks happen around the Thursday before at 12pm local time (i’m not even sure where leakers get their early copy 😭) and the new chapter is mass-released on Monday. WSJ is a thick book with several chapters from several mangas! it costs around 300 yen ($2.10 usd) for a copy. The WSJ also contains new exciting news, such as how jjk is ending soon. If you want to have a keepsake for the last few chapters before official volumes are released, the WSJ is a cheap option. Copies from the week before or older might not be sold in konbinis, so going to a bookstore like “animate” might help you get an archived copy.
Best places to shop for jjk merch, based on personal opinion. Your best choice is to go to Akihabara in Tokyo, which is basically anime-central.
Akihabara Radiokaikan- huge multiple-story building with floors for figurines, collectibles, and goods. I suggest K-Books on the 4th (?) floor for limited edition merch, as they re-sell goods from events like the jjk exhibition and jujufest. Just as a note, the characters do carry different price tags 😭. Gojo costs almost 3 times the amount of any other character.
Animate (any location in any city)- multiple-story building that sells mangas and goods. Lots of jjk blind-box merch. Animate separates its store by anime, so there should be a jjk section specifically. Manga is cheap and accessible; each volume costs around 480 yen and can be found in local bookstores as well. For reference, a translated copy of jjk costs around $10 usd and the raw japanese copy is $3.36 usd. Downside: if you can’t read japanese, the book is still pretty to just look at!
Other notable stores- Suruga-ya and amiami in akihabara. Figurines are cheaper in Japan!
Save your 100 yen coins for gacha machines!
All your jjk merch can be tax-free in certain stores, if you spend above 5000 yen! Tax-free will deduct that extra 10% from your price and make it cheaper! Only thing is, you’ll have to wait until after you leave Japan to open and use the goods. Bring your passport to stores 🫡
Hope this helps if you plan on going to Japan, and feel free to ask any questions! ❤️
