I solved the unlocked sudoku! It was pretty challenging, but now I’m in your inbox like I’m outside Rentaro’s shed begging for more puzzles

Congrats on solving!

I have a few other puzzles out there, with ranging difficulty

Getting Knotty: German whispers, region sums, and renban lines. Tested pretty solidly at a 2/5 on difficulty

What is this Feeling?: German whispers and renban lines. This one is older and has been solved but wasn’t ranked for difficulty; I think it’s on the simpler side. Note that caged cells contain a secret but serve no purpose in solving the puzzle

We’re Off (To See the Wizard): German whispers, entropic lines, and partial kropki. This tested higher than I expected on difficulty at a 3.4/5

And for anyone else, the mentioned puzzle It’s Unlocked from the most recent Clue Crew zine, featuring German whispers and killer cages, intended to also be on the simpler side

For a wider range of puzzles, check out dailykillersudoku.com or the studio goya app Killer Sudoku or Cracking the Cryptic – the Killer Sudoku app is paid but has zero ads while the Cracking the Cryptic app has some free sample sudokus with a variety of variants and then a number of paid packs, again with no ad. Searching “generally approachable sudoku” will also yield a number of interesting puzzles that aren’t too difficult

Lookism x Reader: Simps

G/N. Gun Park, Ryuhei Kuroda, Jake Kim. Just stupid and silly.

Goo calls Gun a simp.

He says it mocking and derisive as if it is something to be ashamed of.

Maybe it is. Gun doesn't know what a simp is. Goo opens his mouth and most of the time only shit comes out. Gun isn't about to ask and neither does he care.

"Wrapped around Y/N's finger," Goo sneers and that, Gun understands.

Maybe that's true too. He still aims a punch at the blonde's head.

.

.

Leaning over Gun's shoulder, you peer at the search box and chuckle, "Simp? Why are you searching for simp?"

"I'm researching what it means."

"Huh." Your brows knit together, wondering how he came across the term, when this is the kind of person who likes to text in either simple emojis or full sentences and no inbetween, has no idea about pop culture references and terminologies, and you had to teach him what the eggplant emoji actually meant.

A lightbulb goes off.

A Cheshire cat smile creeps over your face, " Did Goo Kim call you a simp?"

Gun turns towards you, traces of annoyance on his face, "He did."

"Well, aren't you?"

He looks down at the definition of simp again, doesn't really understand why it's meant as an insult, when at the crux of it, for Gun, it's simply someone attentive and devoted to their partner.

Gun grumbles, but he supposes: Yes. For you, he is a simp.

.

Kenta and Ryuhei are Executives.

Part of the exclusive club of Senior Management at Workers yet they both wait patiently in line at the coffee bar as their assistants (and yours) fidgets behind them.

"They're worried," Kenta murmurs in his native tongue.

"Why?" Ryuhei glances over and indeed all three appear concerned.

"That you think they can't do their jobs."

"It's just a coffee." Ryuhei shrugs, "Anyone can get a coffee."

"Exactly," Kenta wonders if he's being deliberately obtuse. "And it's expected that assistants get the coffee. They think they're doing something wrong because you're here."

"I know how Y/N likes their coffee."

"So does their assistant."

"I know precisely how Y/N likes their coffee."

Kenta sees the beginnings of a sulk, Ryuhei's bottom lip starting to jut out and the furrow of his brows, and sighs.

Ryuhei is being deliberately obtuse. It's not even a particularly adventurous order. Even Kenta knows how you like your coffee, having unfortunately been dragged here by his friend enough times. 

They both shuffle forwards.

"One large Americano. No sugar, no milk," Kenta demonstrates, rattling off your drink of choice to the barista. 

It's difficult to get wrong.

Ryuhei gasps dramatically at Kenta stealing his thunder, and receives an eye roll in return. Who cares about who places the order? Ryuhei is going to be the one that hand delivers the coffee anyway, then hang around you all afternoon being a nuisance.

"You're such a simp." Kenta complains.

Any hint of indignation disappears, and a wide cheerful grin spreads over the blonde’s face.

"I know!"

.

.

For someone of Jake Kim's size, he can be surprisingly sleuthy.

He pokes his head into the room, where the majority of his inner circle sits, hears both his and your name being mentioned and his ears perk up.

Oh?

With quiet, measured movements, sneaks over to the table, and slides into the empty space between Jason and Jerry.

"-I can't believe he is such a simp!" Brad chuckles.

"He really is," Jason agrees.

Jake leans forward, "Who is?"

Lua rolls her eyes, "Jake!"

"Me?"

Hasn't this guy kept up with the conversation? "Yeah, obviously!" Lineman adds-

And then eyes widening in shock, recoils sharply. As does the rest of the table.

Jake?! When did?! How?! What?

An uncomfortable silence descends, festers, stretches taut-

Snaps, when Jake raises his eyebrows and asks the group, "I'm a simp, huh?"

Jerry, his ever loyal sword, speaks for the first time. "You are."

Jake considers it, thinks about himself, thinks about you and his eyes soften. He grins, toothy and lovestruck, "I am."

whats your trickster form

So funny thing about this is that my usual sona is that my sona is basically kind of horrorterror-adjacent to begin with (i.e. vaguely squiddy and 'eldritch' in the stereotypical sense.)

And I've been meaning for a while to convert xyr to a more Homestuquesque [sic] style for a while now. Here's my attempt to sketch her in a more Problem-sleuthy style a la Fluthulu and the other zoologically dubious gang.

There we go! Suitably sketchy imho.

However, this presents a problem. Because canonically

Trickster mode horrorterrors are just the squiddles.

Dear god.

Oh the humanity. Or lack thereof.

However, if I gotta go traditional (i.e. human or trollsona with some sort of sugary confection latched to their cranium).

It's Toblerone. Gotta be Toblerone.

I mean the most prominent thing I've done in this fandom is lengthy Junefic and a smattering of gender theorization, and given the weight of the mighty Toblerone in this fandom, it only seems appropriate. Plus I have like. Three toblerone in my bedroom right now. For credibility.

the sleuthy slurper.....

[barrenclan]

My turn on the Dream Curse! You were making an entire PATFW themed haunted house. The ticket booth looked like Rainhaze’s head. People who came through kept trying to ask about changes to the story and you were getting gently frustrated

People are getting so sleuthy they're trying to hack the dream world for future content. You'll never get my secrets!!

[ask-mspafamily]

did you fuck up oh sleuthy? It's alright, we all kill people from time to time, if you commit a murder, just say it

[penny-milkin-em]

Hope you suckers enjoy my cheeky lil release date. Or was it? It might be a fake out to punish you.....you never know....

Stay sleuthy 🔍...

Sherlock holiday fics

I've been seeing a lot of posts asking for (and offering) recs for winter holiday-themed Sherlock fics. It's been years since I've written any, but they are still there! So I thought I'd throw them into the ring in case anyone's interested.

Cold Making Warmth is a cozy-at-home-in-221b type story about former clients who send Christmas cards every year. Post-Reichenbach, but not angsty. Shippy gen. 2.5k.

Foiled is a silly little story about John trying (and failing) to pick up a woman during the holiday season. 660 words.

God Rest Ye Sleuthy, Gentlemen is a ficlet advent calendar I did in 2014, a collection of prompted drabbles and 221bs. 3,347 words.

A Study in Potato Pancakes is a three-flat problem (that is: a 221a, a 221b, and a 221c) in which Sherlock becomes interested in latkes. It was rather dazzlingly remixed by @hiddenlacuna into A Study in Sweetness. both of these are 663 words.

A Festival of Fic-lights is a series of prompted 221bs that I wrote, advent-calendar style, for each of the 8 nights of Hanukkah. 2,210 words (since the last of them is a 3-flat.)

HOA Among Us Gameplay

Seasons Greetings! Are you a House of Anubis fan? Do you find yourself wanting a chance to experience being the characters themselves? Did you play the Among Us game at some point in your life? Do you want to unite with your fellow HOA fans and accuse them of murder?

Well, this is the place for you!

Listen, as Sibuna followers we’re on top of anything spooky and creepy. Let’s put ourselves to the test and have a nice gameplay of Among Us. Maybe three rounds, maybe more depending how we’re feeling after.

We play as characters, try to be in character for as long as possible. If you’re Fabian or Nina, be super sleuthy. If you’re Patricia never stop accusing people or causing fights. If you’re Jerome… you’re probably the impostor.

When?

On December 27th, on 5PM AST (time is a default and available to change if contacted) we shall connect and play a rousing game of Among Us, dress up and name ourselves after our chosen HOA character and figure out the two imposters among us. You heard that right, folks! Two imposters.

I will be posting the game entry code 10 minutes before we begin so everyone can get settled.

Which Among Us map will we explore?

Map will be The Airship (it has a very Anubis House vibe to it). But since it’s also larger than most, I suggest practice playing it solo. For more information, please DM me and I can teach you how. If not, the map can always go back to the original setting: The Skeld.

Now, who are you going to be?

There are 15 slots for a full Among Us gameplay and if we have more than 15 people interested, I suggest to repeat the activity with the others the next day on Dec. 23rd. Anyone interested in replaying can do so as well if there are slots available for the next day.

Until then, the characters provided are listed below. Please write in the replies if you are interested and which character you would like to play as! Remember that this is a commitment for December 22nd!

Chat option ideas:

- we can stick to the Among Us chat box

- or we can make a Discord call and all chat on it during voting and emergency meetings. Another fun thing about Discord is you can just type your message rather than speak if you don’t want to.

let’s explore the chaos of anubis house, shall we?

also, big thanks to @yackers for the hoa gifs, excellent as always!
