[ Chocolate fountain ]

One more dipping shouldn't harm her. For real this time. Serious!

Yuzu finds herself standing in front of the sacred springs one more time (yes, one more) for a final helping of chocolate-covered confectionaries. This time around, she convinces herself to take a simple biscuit, so that the chocolate simply enhances its flavor rather than overwhelm it.

...but those cakes look so appetizing as well.

She prepares to accept her primal impulses before blindly running into a slightly smaller girl. These sugar demons...this night has taught Yuzu of their true demons.

"I- apologize for the careless manuever, miss," the samurai quickly apologizes after she ducks to the left. Thankfully, this ball has provided Yuzu fair backup for whenver she steps out of line.

She takes off a teardrop crystal from her brooch and presents it for exchange to the other. "Are you a student here as well? I am Yuzu...a Blue Lion. Please take my gem as my plea for forgiveness."

A chocolate fountain? This party has seriously pulled out all the stops.

But as tasty as it looked, Etie couldn't let herself be too tempted. She appreciated chocolate and cakes as much as the next person, but if she let herself indulge too much? It might affect her muscle mass. Wouldn't want that!

...A few treats wouldn't hurt, though.

Before she can try one, however, another girl runs right into her. It's only thanks to Etie's impeccable muscles and sense of balance that she doesn't stumble, even with the speed and height advantage this woman had over her.

Who in the world?

The other woman is quick to apologize before Etie could get properly annoyed, and the Firenese archer pauses a moment, then sighs, realizing that it had been a mistake.

"It's alright. No hard feelings." The woman introduces herself, and Etie is particularly interested in the mention of her house. "Blue Lions? I'm there, too! I wasn't going to hold a grudge, but now I have even less of a reason to, now that we're classmates!"

Etie removes her own crystal from her brooch, and hands it to Yuzu. "I'm Etie. Here's to a good relationship as peers. In fact, I'd love to chat a bit more, over some tea and cakes." She smiles, "You can brief me on what I should be expecting from the classes."

[ Champagne ] - Imported from the western shores of the Adrestrian Empire, the school purchases 70 bottles of this stuff well in advanced for this day alone. The bartenders are under strict orders not to offer any student more than one glass.

This drink is...new, for the budding samurai. The staff explicitly told her that she only gets one shot at consumption, so she would be wise not to waste it. Of course, Emma is still much too young to gamble with such dangerous beverages, so she would have to find the proper partner...

...is that one of her house's teaching assistants? Spouting out about love to no one?

"Yes...to love. A treasured virtue to fight for," Yuzu slips next to Laslow, holding her own champagne glass forward for a toast. "I never took you for the romantic type, professor."

Startled, he looks at his side, surprised to find someone responding to his ridiculous announcement, let alone with a drink in hand. She looks passingly familiar; a student of his house, maybe.

Now there's a surprise. An eyebrow raises. She must be new here if she wasn't aware of his rather vocal views on the subject. "Moi? Then I've done a poor job of cultivating my reputation around here!"

He tips his glass against hers with a laugh. "What's the point of living without love, yeah? That's always been my philosophy." Champagne bubbles pop and fizz on his tongue before he swallows a polite sip of the beverage.

"I'm glad someone agrees with me! Here, a token of my appreciation." One handed, he fiddles with his brooch, pricking the pad of his pointer finger in the process. Laslow hisses at the sting. "Heh, guess I need to be more careful."

[yuzu-all-the-way]

There's the gentle Yuzu, the nice Yuzu, the smiley-troll Yuzu, the business-like Yuzu...

...and then there's the spit-fire Yuzu. That's the Yuzu you don't want to mess with

So i heard some magazine/tv news/website reveal who Yuzu's wife is but all is baseless assumptions. So hello i am also his wife number 16273737383 we met when I was weeping on the corner shop. Next level wattpad shit, thank u

[geluksvxgel]

Yuzu has seen many a foe in her travels throughout many lands. Tall and intimidating Berserkers, silent and stoic Swordmasters, sophisticated and swift Sages...yes, she must have seen them all.

And yet this...kid in the cape and face covered by foreign mask does nothing but stump Yuzu. Is this just his ball attire? It has to be.

"Are you a...new student?" Yuzu speaks while up to him. Perhaps a strange way to begin, considering that Yuzu herself is rather "new" here. Though she feels like she would remember the dark blues and blacks worn by this blonde boy if this wasn't the case. The choice of color, combined with a covering of the face...the Hoshidan feels like she's seen this before.

"I am Yuzu, another recent addition," she removes a teardrop crystal from her brooch and holds it to the boy in offering. "Those blues...might you be affiliated with the Blue Lions? They have assigned me there as well."

Though he had already spotted some people he could recognize within the crowd, such as surprisingly many of the nohrian royals- including his father’s liege, the vast majority were people he had never seen before, from lands he had never even heard of. It was as exciting as it was scary, and Lutz was so damn ready to take on it all. He had so many questions to ask and so many people he wanted to talk to that he was nearly exploding from excitement, though Ace did help in keeping him grounded with a low grumble.

Contact! He hears a voice directed at him, turning around to face its owner- a girl with purple hair, wearing a black suit with a white bow. Blue eyes widened in awe at his companion. “Wow, cool outfit!” She didn’t seem like one of the nobles around them either, though while she was a stranger…something about her felt almost familiar. Was she from Nohr? Hoshido? “Hello! My name’s Lutz, and I’m new here too! Nice to meet you, Yuzu!” He then offered a hand to shake.

At the mention of the class he had been assigned too, the boy put on a huge smile. “You’re from the Blue Lions too? Sweet! That means we can totally train together later! You look super strong!”

Seeing the offered crystal, Lutz whistled into the crowd. Some partygoers watched, mildly disconcerted, as the white wyvern trotted into view and watched Yuzu for a moment. “That’s my buddy, Ace! Ace, this is Yuzu!” Seemingly satisfied with the introduction, Ace gruffed at the girl. Lutz then reached for his drake’s halter, extracting the brooch from it and offering it to Yuzu.

“There, this is the one I was given! Thanks a bunch, Yuzu!”

It's not silly, it's always so painful to see your favorite die :( And Dimitri death is particularly tragic in CF, it hurts so much ( especially with all the Blue Lions in the battle reactions, the two different that can happen with Dedue are CRUSHING ).

And I'd love to hear your thoughts on fe3h too! Can I send you some asks on the game? ( Like what's you favorite support and all! )

thank you for understanding about dimitri, it's just... that map is so sad i can't 😭

(at least the second time i played CF i managed to save seteth and flayn aka daddy and babygirl, so i didnt cry too much c': )

btw of course you can ask me anything!! really i love to talk about three houses, go ahead <3<3

Have I ever said how much I appreciate the Tumblr fs community?

If not, here is me saying it.

Tumblr fs community is awesome

[myjunkisyuzuruhanyu]

Those numbers on the likes give away a pretty good overlook about how many ppl have joined the membership option on Yuzu's channel in one day....

I would say a membership option is a good idea and let's us fans support Yuzu directly (y'all remember some wanted a crowdfunding for Yuzu? Here you have a much better direct option without 3rd party involvement)

BUT you're not any less of a fan if you don't join the membership because you can't afford it or set other priorities as a reoccurring monthly payment is something to think about for most of us...(I don't even know why this is a discussion in the first place) And you are also contributing to Yuzu's YouTube channel if you watch his videos as it's monetized even if you're not a member.

Last but not least this membership option on YouTube is used by many artists to pay them directly and every artists needs a way to get paid just like Yuzu. We do not know Yuzu's expenses on a daily basis - especially now that he is hosting an ice show all on his own - and this money from his own content provides a way for Yuzu to be independent as an artist. Yuzu has to earn a living without prize money and sponsorship by JSF which are two things that fell away with turning pro completely. He still has his sponsors, but also for sponsors an active artist is needed. Let's be careful about assumptions about his financial state or personal motives for this membership option (There is sooooo much free content from Yuzu!!!) . Yuzu has always donated a lot of money especially to rebuilding his homerink in Sendai, we can be sure that he puts the earned money to good use and who are we to judge what he should or should not do (because yeah some ppl discuss this 🙄)

Anyway let's support Yuzu in every possible way we can afford 😊

[dragonflute]

for anyone who cares about emulation, unfortunately today we lost both yuzu (switch) and citra (3ds) emulators due to the lawsuit nintendo filed against the management that handled both emulators. this is a major loss for emulation as a whole. if you support emulation i recc downloading emulators that you may want to have in the future in the case that they get taken down in similar lawsuits

Snail Life Update

Previous update here.

We are celebrating small victories today, and with the arrival of a doctor in the mail from some beautiful friends to support me through this scare, I thought I'd put my old bartending background to good use and make something special. Thanks for my Chopper, @feral-artistry. I love him 🥹.

Cocktail: Four Pillars Yuzu Gin, Choya Umeshu, Aperol, fresh mandarine juice, and half an egg white (laid by our Araucana hen, Consuela). Shaken with ice, garnished with mandarine peel and grated dried strawberries (there is also an umeshu plum in the bottom). It is not too sweet, bitter from the Aperol, and sour from the citrus 👌.

Update under here. Likely TMI, and TW for medical talks.

The long and short of it, without being too graphic, is that there is a growth going on in my chest, the left-hand side near where the clot blockage in my armpit is sourced. I have some microcalcification going on, found in the mammogram "panini press" and ultrasound, that is deemed safe for now.

Antibiotics did nothing to shift the clot in my arm, but it is gradually going down and down. The pain is still there, but it's not as intense and unbearable as it initially was. So far, I'm managing. Given how large the vein is raised, everyone was quick to say "cancer" to which, if we're being fair here, is absolutely a possibility with the development of the microcalcifications in my future.

For now, it's being read as benign - so I'm celebrating the victories as they come! I'm at ease with the information, but it's a little unnerving that I have to have it ferment in my chest for another year's time to ensure he was correct in the initial diagnosis.

There is very, very, newfound knowledge that breast cancer is hereditary, and my doctor was very hasty to order a test for me. I am thankful for the care I received from him, he is spectacular. For now, I get to just take paracetamol for the pain, and ibuprofen and aspirin to aid in the flow of blood to ease the pressure (or today, this pretty nice cocktail, if I do say so myself).

This One Piece Community is amazing, and I cherish all of you so, so much. Thank you for letting me share my stories here with you. If you've read this far, know I care so deeply for you, and I hope your day is as happy and bright as mine has been made now. Cheers 🍸.

Citra, the emulator for Nintendo 3DS, is also shutting down operations alongside Yuzu, the emulator for Nintendo Switch.

This is a result of the settlement to the lawsuit Nintendo did against Yuzu, in claims of infringing on their copyright and DMCA, and "allowing piracy".

The Yuzu team (and Citra team) has agreed to their terms.

This is the statement on Citra emulator website citra-emu.org, quote:

"Hello yuz-ers and Citra fans: We write today to inform you that yuzu and yuzu’s support of Citra are being discontinued, effective immediately. yuzu and its team have always been against piracy. We started the projects in good faith, out of passion for Nintendo and its consoles and games, and were not intending to cause harm. But we see now that because our projects can circumvent Nintendo’s technological protection measures and allow users to play games outside of authorized hardware, they have led to extensive piracy. In particular, we have been deeply disappointed when users have used our software to leak game content prior to its release and ruin the experience for legitimate purchasers and fans. We have come to the decision that we cannot continue to allow this to occur. Piracy was never our intention, and we believe that piracy of video games and on video game consoles should end. Effective today, we will be pulling our code repositories offline, discontinuing our Patreon accounts and Discord servers, and, soon, shutting down our websites. We hope our actions will be a small step toward ending piracy of all creators’ works. Thank you for your years of support and for understanding our decision."

I shouldn't have to make this post but Nintendo fans are trying extremely desperately to position the company whose cock they love the taste of in a good light and are generally doing this by spreading misinformation about the legalities of emulation so let's go over a number of the fabrications shall we?

Emulation is illegal to monetize This has so far been one of the really big ones that's taken traction, usually partnered with the sister lie that yuzu was paywalling access to early access builds. These are both lies, and are untrue. yuzu is far from the only modern emulator to be monetizing itself, plenty of mobile emulators do it, but developing an emulator for money is entirely legal. We have pretty much all of our emulation precedent set thanks to a series of lawsuits in the very early 2000s thanks to Sony suing an emulator called Bleem. There's a lot to say about Bleem, but Bleem was a commercial emulator. You could buy Bleem, in stores. At no point was there ever a court decision that Bleem was wrong to do so (despite Sony's best efforts).

Emulating current generation software or hardware is illegal. This is also wrong, and kind of fundamentally misunderstands a lot when it comes to emulation. Once again, Bleem was at the time emulating current generation software. It was a generation in its twilight, but Bleem first released in March of 1999: the Playstation 2 was not out yet. The reason why current generation software does not tend to be emulated is because we do not really have the tech or processing power to do it yet. The Switch's lower specs are entirely the reason it has had an emulator developed well ahead of the PS4 or the Xbone.

Yuzu's early access build allowed people to play Tears of the Kingdom ahead of release date This one is a couple of different statements packed together, and while I'm given to believe there's a chance other games may have been playable ahead of release, this specific statement is a lie, and maybe the funniest one on the list because it's a lie that's not even backed up by the lawsuit.

The lawsuit is extremely clear in its language that it was modded instances of Yuzu that could play Tears of the Kingdom ahead of release date, not publicly accessible builds of Yuzu. Nintendo's argument here lies in Yuzu being open source: part of the lawsuit alleges that Yuzu is responsible for any and all acts of piracy done by its users, whether or not they used official or modded builds of Yuzu. This is, of course, a fundamentally fucking insane position to argue from. It is not a particularly uncharitable reading of this as an attack on open source software to begin with, as this precedent would make any developer liable for ANY illegal action taken by someone who modified their code. Supporting this, in my opinion, makes you an asshole and liable to be clocked in the fucking mouth.

4. Literally anything involving this screenshot.

I've seen this screenshot maybe three or four times with different takes on what exactly Illegal is happening here and I'm pretty content to just call it vibes at this point. Whether this is an intelligent screenshot is a different matter, but no one has been able to point to anything actually illegal being done here. There is already precedent in allowing one to make their own back-ups of software they own, even if decryption or bypassing copy protection to do so, which is a large majority of software. Switch games are not the only games that are either encrypted or have copy protection, and this is both not the earliest generation to do it AND its not the only industry that does it.

The only point of interest here is the date, which I've seen literally no one bring up, but this correlates into another point: personal piracy is still not something Yuzu is liable for. It's a dumb thing to broadcast, but it doesn't change anything material about the software.

5. Yuzu folded because Nintendo had a smoking gun

I, I just, I'm sorry this one isn't just a lie its a really naive and incompetent view of the faults of our legal system. If anything, the settlement seems to indicate the opposite. If Nintendo was sure they had Yuzu dead the rights, they wouldn't have fucking settled. Both parties need to agree to settle! Nintendo is actively interested in trying to set legal precedent that emulation is illegal, because Nintendo is great at saying obviously wrong things with a straight face.

This could be a reason, but remember, this was a civil lawsuit, not a criminal one. Civil lawsuits have a difference in how evidence is handled, and it's pretty likely that Nintendo just has more evidence than user does on account of being able to afford a larger legal team and having planned for this lawsuit in advance, regardless of how strong that evidence actually is. It's why most of the arguments in the lawsuit read kind of insane. Civil lawsuits are not handled "beyond a reasonable doubt".

There's also the fact that legal cases can be extremely expensive, even when you know you are absolutely in the fucking right. I want to link this video by James Stephanie Sterling as evidence of this. They were completely in the fucking right, and the lawsuit still took an incredible amount of time and monetary expense to argue, and that's against an opponent who you could reasonably confuse with a scarecrow. This is ultimately how Sony eventually "won" against Bleem. Bleem never lost any of its lawsuits against Sony, in fact Sony ballsed it up twice against Bleem, but Sony continued to file lawsuits against Bleem and its company over and over, until Bleem literally could not afford it and went bankrupt.

There's also the matter of precedent. If Yuzu had taken this court, and lost, it would be really bad. There's a lot in this court case that you don't want precedent leaning towards, and due to, uh, America's current political climate and judicial regime, there's a fair chance the judge would have just sided with Nintendo anyways. Settling the lawsuit, while to be entirely clear, sucks complete ass for Yuzu as they were basically eliminated, protects the sphere of emulation as a whole.

So what was the salient parts of Nintendo's case?

The parts of Nintendo's case that hold the most weight have to do specifically with the encryption keys used to de-encrypt Switch games, and how those keys interact with the DMCA. There's no legal precedence to back this up, this is thoroughly untested grounds. This is actually where the buck stops with the Bleem cases: this one never went to a judgment for Bleem and hence never established precedent.

There's a pretty reasonable chance that Nintendo had a chance to win the lawsuit off of the back of this point. This doesn't make it a guarantee, but it's the part of the lawsuit that's actually important.

What happened with the settlement?

Well Nintendo got to legally extort the Yuzu devs and their parent company for $2.4 million. This is, strictly speaking, chump change to Nintendo but I in particular hate this part of lawsuits with a passion. In addition, as per the conditions of the agreement, all copies of Yuzu that were released and in development under the purvey of the company must be destroyed, the company and its devs can no longer work on Yuzu in any way possible, and they cannot work on any other emulation software. This is why Citra also closed down by the way: it was an unfortunate emulator in the cross fire. This in and of itself, is a tragedy, since this is basically court mandated brain drain. Undoubtedly Yuzu will be forked and someone will continue development on "Zuyu", but the loss is still felt.

Why should I care? Piracy is illegal.

This is where I'm going to wax philosophical for a moment, but Frankie my dear, I do not give a damn. Nintendo could have had full legal rights to do this, and I would still be of the opinion that Nintendo's legal team are ghouls and shouldn't feel safe showing their faces. This is how I felt when Nintendo shut down Emuparadise. Whether something is illegal does not impact whether it is right. Laws exist in a state of being able to be both just, unjust, or both.

Emulation is extremely important in the preservation of gaming as an artform, something that the game industry is extremely against in all forms. There's money to be made after all, and attempts at making sure that games are available to play are often attacked and criticized. This is part of the reason I'm so against the existence of copyright law. It doesn't matter what the intent of a system is, but it does matter what the system does, and it's transferred an overwhelming amount of power into the hands of large corporations while largely screwing small creators over.

I do not believe art has a price tag to it. I do not believe that art can and should only be enjoyed by the people a company has decided to sell it too. I do not believe that companies like Nintendo should be able to throw their legal weight around and ruin people's lives. You should be able to play Mother 3 and Shin Megami Tensei without having to wait for their parent companies to decide they actually want to sell it to you.

Piracy does not inflict meaningful damages to Nintendo. Despite Nintendo's whinging, Tears of the Kingdom sold over 20 million copies in half a years time, something that we can estimate to have made Nintendo about $1.4 billion in revenue. We live in a game industry which does not care about its game devs: it's perfectly willing to underpay them, to overwork them, and to eventually let them go. Nintendo is not innocent here. They have a history of mistreating their contract workers, and I personally know that these are not the only allegations that hold water.

In short, fuck Nintendo. Pirate all Switch games until the end of time.
