happy 1 year birthday to a3outfitstournament <3
well, more or less lol i forgot the actual date i created this blog and i'm too lazy to check BUT i'm 99% sure i started this tourney in april 2023, and look! i'm still here! frankly i probably should've started the tournament the way i'm doing it now (aka slay vs nay for every outfit for every character, then narrowing down to One Best Outfit for each chara) BUT we learn and get new epiphanies every day
ANYWAY just wanna say a big thank you to everyone who's voted on the polls, left funny stuff in the tags, and just in general kept up with this tournament 🩷 tbh i wasn't sure how to celebrate 1 year on this blog?? one of my ideas was to have you guys submit your opinions about the fashion in a3 (from overall thoughts to thoughts on specific outfits), and i'll add an AGREE or DISAGREE poll below! tho if you just wanna scream about your fave outfits without the AGREE OR DISAGREE poll just say so, no judgement ^v^ so like, you can do that if you want <3
another thing you can do is vote on the poll below to determine spring troupe's WORST OUTFIT FROM THE PREV ROUND OF POLLS 🍅🍅
Tumblr media
please refer to this post for details on how the worst outfits were determined, but basically they were fan-voted so yeaahh just wanna make that super clear <3

Round 3, Match 3: Inspector Barnes vs. August
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Submitted kids:
Inspector Barnes: Anthony Lockwood, Lucy Carlyle, George Cubbins/George Karim, Holly Munro, Quill Kipps
August: Hisoka Mikage, Chikage Utsuki
Propaganda under the cut!
Inspector Barnes:
1. “Mustn't be easy keeping those three (Lockwood, George, Lucy) alive”
2. “Serial adopter of waifs and strays, carefully hidden behind the guise of strict enforcer. He's a softie and we all know it.”
3. “Even though he'd never admit this be of his grumpy character Barnes really became a father for all members of Lockwood & Co. He was the only adult who cared about their lives and he tried to keep them safe and sound, but like all teenagers they didn't listen to him. But they always knew that if they had some prolems (which they actually often had) they could always ask Barnes for help, advice or support”
4. “Barnes adopted a smiling giraffe with a death wish and a blinding smile, a 5 foot Northern bitch who can and will fight god on a Tuesday, a researcher who likes sticking his nose where he shouldn’t and three people max, and a secretary who shot at least a dozen people and is way more badass than she seems”
August:
1. “august is the adoptive older brother of hisoka mikage and chikage utsuki. for context, these characters are all spies, and were invited into the organisation by august. (also known as misha sometimes). hisoka is december, and chikage is april! their collective group name in fanon is "gekkagumi."
the first interaction we see of him in game is him adopting hisoka off the street. he was a dying homeless child, and august invited him to join the organisation. at first he declined, but august kept coming back to him until he followed (despite chikage's protests about it) he fed fed hisoka gingerbread, and declared "we're a family now."
chikage was adopted before hisoka, but we only learned more about it later in the story. chikage was living in a "facility" when he runs into august who lives in the organisation.
despite their very harsh life, august really did everything he could to give hisoka and chikage the best life he could. he loved the idea of family, and always encouraged them to celebrate christmas and birthdays, and play games!
august had a cover job where he owned a candy store. despite it just being a cover, august loved it and had a genuine care for the children. he used to give away free sweets to the point his shop was actively going out of business, and whenever he saw a sad kid he'd try his best to cheer them up. people around the town came in just to talk to him, to the point where hisoka said when he was covering the shop for him, the first thing people would ask was "where's misha?"
in his shop, he also used to have a myth that if you wrote a wish on a certain brand of cookie's wrapper, the wish would come true. august spoke excitedly of the wishes kids would wish for.
events in the story lead up to august's untimely death. years later, hisoka runs into a kid who used to go to his shop. this child had wished to be a painter, and was now painting. he actually ended up in possession of a wrapper august wrote on which said ""a happy family."" however, the boy couldn't read japanese and didn't know what it said. despite that, he held onto the wrapper for years after august's disappearance. he also manages to draw a picture of him from memory. :((“
2. “he's so . gwahh he just wants to give them a nice family”
3. “please vote for august!! he is such a kind soul who shows so much generosity and selflessness despite the cruel circumstances he was stuck in.”

In light of Duolingo laying off its translators, here are my favourite language apps (primarily for Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and te reo Māori).
Multiple Languages
Anki is a flashcard programme and app that's not exclusively for languages. While making your own decks is ideal, you can also download shared decks for most languages.
If you're learning Japanese, specifically, Seth Clydesdale has websites for practicing alongside Genki's 2nd or 3rd editions, and he also provides his own shared Anki decks for Genki.
And if you're learning te reo Māori, specifically, here's a guide on how to make your own deck.
TOFU Learn is an app for learning vocabulary that's very similar to Anki. However, it has particularly excellent shared decks for East Asian languages. I've used it extensively for practicing 汉字. Additionally, if you're learning te reo Māori, there's a shared deck of vocabulary from Māori Made Easy!
Mandarin Chinese
Hello Chinese is a fantastic app for people at the HSK 1-4 levels. While there's a paid version, the only thing paying unlocks is access to podcast lessons, which imo are not really necessary. Without paying you still have access to all the gamified lessons which are laid out much like Duolingo's lessons. However, unlike Duolingo, Hello Chinese actually teaches grammar directly, properly teaches 汉字, and includes native audio practice.
Japanese
Renshuu is a website and app for learning and practicing Japanese. The vast majority of its content is available for free. There's also a Discord community where you can practice alongside others.
Kanji Dojo is a free and open source app for learning and practicing the stroke order of kanji. You can learn progressively by JLPT level or by Japanese grades. There's also the option to learn and practice kana stroke order as well.

Do you guys wanna see Chuuzuru? Of course you do
Tumblr media
Needed a hassled part-timer NPC in the campaign I'm co-DMing and the idea of Tsuzuru as a little rodent wouldn't leave me

The guy on tiktok who posts videos of himself acting out deeply emotional and riveting action scenes that give him motivation to start running is the only one who gets it and can save us. ‘The Grind’ is dead long live ‘The Whimsy’
Here’s one of my favs for reference:
[ID: a tiktok video of a man in a gym on a treadmill. There is text reading: ‘Reading the note my brother left me revealing he was the villain all along, so I chased his train as he fled town for 5.2 miles.’ The man then acts out this scene on the treadmill by reading a note, shaking his head, then beginning to run, calling out to his brother with increasing desperation as he picks up speed. There is an emotional, cinematic score. /end ID]

Imagine if you had a neighbour who keeps performing songs from Phantom of the Opera in his apartment every night, by himself but accompanied by a parrot, which he has taught to sing Christine's part. Admittedly it's kind of obnoxious but you are far too baffled to even be properly annoyed. And also you don't want to confront someone with that kind of power and determination. So every once in a while you just hear this guy dramatically bellow
"SING FOR ME!"
[ASTONISHINGLY HIGH-PITCHED PARROT SHRIEK]

The secret wish is to write a fanfic that someone loves so much they make fan art of it, or to create a drawing that someone creates an entire fic based off of it.

One of my favorite combos to run is troublemakers (Citron Misumi Homare) + Tsuzuru simply because Tsuzuru has a link with both Homare and Citron and it’s the funniest thing to me. Like. Three guys who are known and beloved for Havoc and their emotional support scriptwriter
Beyond that, I DO think that the Spicy Cuisine Research Society has the funniest meetings. I hope Izumi joins them sometimes
Mankai March question 25!
Let’s talk link skills! What’s your favorite link skill? Is it your favorite troupe, or an odd combo? From the Adult Onigiri Enjoyers to the Lone Wolves, let’s show some love!
