IkePri blessed me in the Standard Avatar Gacha with Chev's fit and then blessed me with Keith's 5 star in the Tipsy Temptation pt2 showcase.
All after giving me a disappointing standard 10 pull and I'm grossly sobbing inside because I finally have one of Keith's 5 stars.
Like damn, thank you for finally blessing me right 😭
#Trezzie's rambles#honestly was surprised#now I just need to get more reg tickets for IkeVil's gachas so I can attempt to get that Roger card 😭😭😭

whaling ft. bf! scaramouche
masterlist | series mlist | next
scaramouche can't believe that you're all over this "dan heng" character and like be for real, he's so much better than this guy who's all speary. even more so, after dan heng had a 5-star version of himself. he has never seen you step out of your room only for taking a piss and eating some food.
whatever! can this dan heng chop apples for you? he cannot! he’s 2D and here you have your lovely boyfriend, scaramouche, who is REAL. 3D and not at all fictional. does dan heng know what you love to eat? no. he better not see dan heng in your search history.
he walked into your shared office with him, bowl of fruit in hand and water in the other, whereas almost half of the room was covered in stuffed animals or game merchandise (he won't lie that some of those are his). he saw you near your desk, next to your pc, sprawled out on the floor, on the brink of tears. he sighed and knew this was apart of your theatrics. "name."
you turned around with dark circles under your eyes, sunk down and that's when he knew you were going to rant about something. he placed the bowl of apples on the desk and the water, sat down and pulled you into his lap. "what now?"
you start to fake bawl into his shirt, balling up his sweatshirt, "i lost the 50/50..."
he pinched his nose bridge before asking, "to who?"
"CLARA. like i have SIXTY THOUSAND COPIES OF HER TOO. all i wanted was imbibitor lunae and i prefarmed too!" you cried as scaramouche rolled his eyes. he grabbed a slice of apple and fed you it as he replied,
"so do you want anything?" scaramouche felt weight being lifted from his chest as you finished the apple slice and tilted your head.
"hm?" you both know how this gacha addiction ends and it's not like scaramouche really cares about this lunae imbibnator guy. it's worth it to see you smile and happy... not like he'll tell you anyway.
"do you want me to buy you those gems? onesis crystals?" scaramouche asked, seeing you let out a breathy laugh as you batted your eyes innocently.
"oneiric?" of course, classic name to reply with a question back.
"yes, whatever that is."
"um."
behind you, you heard your screen flashed a pop up screen. 6480 shards staring at you as you shifted away from scaramouche's face. just before you looked back at him. "i didn't need that much..."
"didn't you reset your pity? you probably need more. how much do you have right now? click to the warp page." scaramouche instructed not giving you a chance to interject. even though you were about to switch the tab to the warp page, your boyfriend decided that you were too slow and switched it for you. "hm, you have 5 stellar jades left, adding 6480 plus bonus... that would be around 40 wishes, which isn't enough. did you have the monthly tickets yet?"
you snorted quietly, he's so pretty when he's so smart. but maybe you have to stop him from spending his money on you so much. you might need an intervention. "i think so."
scaramouche clicked to the shop and saw the pop up for the free 5 wishes for the price of the insane amount of dust you had. "of course not, you're an idiot." for the harsh words, he is saying it lovingly.
you watched him calculate the amount of wishes just before making you look at opposite direction. you hear the shard sound effect again next to you as you slowly turned to scaramouche again. he shrugged it off.
"why did you get me 51840 shards?"
"for good luck."
you spluttered, "i don't need this many???"
"i'll buy you more if you need them."

AITA for not paying for my fiancee's trip?
(Sorry mod, sending this again as I forgot to add an important context detail)
This is going to be long, I'm so sorry!
Okay, so I (23M) am engaged to a very wonderful fiancee (27NB). She's fantastic, and I want to make it very clear that our relationship is great - we have good communication, we never argue, we're always on call without getting tired of each other, etc etc. There is just one issue we have - her financial habits.
For context, I am disabled and can't work due to both mental and physical health issues, so I'm on disability benefits. She can and does work.
We're long-distance (she's in America and I'm in the UK), and we've been dealing with it pretty well so far. At the beginning of our relationship, we agreed that before we got to the point of talking about moving in with each other etc. we would need to have her visit me here at least once to meet my family and get used to how things work here (as she wants to move here), and I would need to visit her at least once to do the same there re: meeting her parents etcetera.
The agreement was that I'd pay for her to come here, and then when it was my turn she'd pay for my visit there so it was fair.
She first visited me about a year and a half ago and came over here for two weeks. I paid for her plane tickets, our transport everywhere (we don't have cars), the AirBNB we stayed in, etc. This ran me about £2k, which was all I had at the time, and I didn't have enough left over to pay for her food on top of that, so I asked if she could cover her own food costs while she was here. This caused a bit of an issue at the time as she was very clearly frustrated at having to do it, and would make comments like "Ugh I wanted a new computer but now I have to save for this trip", "I'm having to sacrifice so much to pay for this" and it made me feel incredibly invalidated, like I was covering everything else and also sacrificing a lot to pay for everything else for us but the one thing I'd asked her to help with was too much. We had a conversation about it at the time and she apologised and said she'd work on it, so we moved on.
Plans changed a bit very early this year, as I was due to get surgery and the friend who was supposed to accompany me there dropped out last minute. I had no one else nearby to turn to and I couldn't go alone (it was the kind of surgery where I would need someone around for at least 1-2 weeks afterwards to help me move around and do daily tasks). As a last ditch effort I asked my fiancee to fly over again and help me out, and I paid for this again which I was completely fine with doing as the trip was a favour for me and it was unplanned from her end. This was another ~£2k.
So cut to summer this year. This was when I was supposed to have my visit over to America. She, at this point, was making pretty good money at a school job. However, when I asked her if we could finalise the plans and buy tickets, she told me that she had no money.
This is where I explain that she's really, REALLY bad with money. She impulse-buys clothes and things for her room etc., she plays gacha games like Genshin Impact and spends quite a lot of money on 'pulls' and the gambling mechanic, things like that. It turned out that through the whole time of having this job she'd been basically spending money as soon as she got it and she now had nothing for the trip. I was admittedly frustrated with her (especially as she initially lied to me and told me she hadn't spent money on games etc. and then later confessed that it IS where the money had gone), but we agreed we could push back the trip to winter/Christmas-time to give her more time to save, and honestly I didn't really mind because I've never spent Christmas/New Year with anyone before, so shifting the visit to over those days would be a nice experience.
However, soon after this she was fired from her job for too many call-outs/absences. For the next few months, she didn't get another job - she said she was doing all she could and was applying for, but I often got the impression that she wasn't and was sort of throwing out an application every few weeks and then writing it off as 'done', which I could be completely misinterpreting so take that with a grain of salt. I kept pushing her to get a job so we could get the trip sorted out and I know she got kind of frustrated with me a few times for it.
I ended up giving up the closer we got to the time and offered to just cover it again if she could pay me back when she did get a job, and she agreed.
Unfortunately, after this I was rendered homeless due to my abusive home situation. I was fortunate enough to be offered government housing and I now have an apartment in town, but it's completely unfurnished (literally all that's in it is a single bed and a cooker, there's no flooring or anything yet). I now have to put all the money I have saved (about £3k) towards getting flooring (which is a little over £1k by itself), furnishings, getting the walls painted, sorting out gas and electricity, etc. I'm also now paying the bills for this apartment. As a result, there's no possible way I could afford to cover the trip anymore myself.
It looked like things were getting sorted because my fiancee got another job recently. It's pretty well-paying, she seems to enjoy it so she's not calling out, and she kept prompting me to talk details of the trip with her so it felt like it was all getting figured out and she was ready to finalise it.
Then today I asked her how much money she had ready for it and she said... $15. I'm genuinely lost on how she still hasn't saved any money, she claims she used it all on "bills" but she doesn't pay rent or cover any housing costs as she still lives with her parents, so I don't understand at all where it's all going. We have less than a month before the trip is supposed to happen, nothing is sorted, we still have no clue where we'd be staying, no plane tickets have been purchased, and now it's looking a lot like it's going to have to be pushed back AGAIN to next year.
I thought about trying to pay for it again, because I DO really want that Christmas and New Year with her. Delaying it again would also mess up our future plans, as the plan was to get this trip to America and meeting her family done this year, then spending the first half of next year on the Visa process and then the latter half getting her actually moved over. It also means I would have to delay my college education, as I was going to start my course early next year, which I wouldn't be able to do if the trip is next year instead as it would require me to take weeks off.
If I tried, I probably could cover it - I need to spend the ~£1k on flooring as that's already arranged, but I could technically use the remaining £2k to fund the trip. However, this would mean my house would remain unfurnished and barely habitable for months longer. It's not so bad if I know she'd be able to pay me back quickly, but the reality is that I don't know how long it would take for me to see the money back.
Part of me also feels like she's kind of expecting me to give in and pay for it last minute in order to not delay it, because I offered before and I was willing to pay for the last two trips. But it's just so depressing and frustrating, because it feels like I keep giving things up and putting things into these trips and getting her over here, and trying to get it back from her is just like running into a wall.
We've talked about it before, but she insists there's nothing more she can do, she's trying as hard as she can, and that she's upset about it too. I just don't know what to do about it anymore.
So I guess my question is, AITA for complaining about the trip, missing Christmas/New Year and pushing her on money and nagging her about what she does with hers instead of just taking the L and covering the trip again until she can pay me back?
What are these acronyms?

๑ -- ʟᴜᴋᴀ ᴀꜱ ᴀ ʙᴏʏꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ - ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ ⋆
๑ – summary : hmm.. you've seen him in the cage, around boulder town.. but how would luka act if he was yours?
๑ – notes : aka, i love luka strongarm and i want him!! to kiss me!!! this is also a way for the gacha gods to give me him on one ten pull - i need to save my tickets for il 😭 also, first time trying to write headcanons - i'm hoping it's the right terminology for this 💀
๑ – relationship : luka x reader
๑ -- boyfriend! luka, who would stare longingly at you whenever you turn your attention to someone else while he's in the cage. he can't show off if you're not watching him, after all.
๑ -- boyfriend! luka, who’s arms snake around your waist when you’re still not paying attention, and he gives you one of his gross, sweaty hugs. even as you swat him away and scold him for being sticky, he can never resist your adorably red cheeks every time he does it.
๑ -- boyfriend! luka, who admires you as you lean in close to clean him up, your callused fingers leaving trails of fire against his bare skin even as his wounds sting and his body aches from being beaten in the cage. even though he wins, doesn't mean he's invincible.
๑ -- boyfriend! luka, who’d be unable to fall asleep when you’re laying next to him. he’s too busy admiring you - the curve of your face, your pretty nose, the rise and fall of your chest.. every part of you, he worships you like it’s the only thing he knows how to do.
๑ -- boyfriend! luka, who’d hate to see you cry. that’s no fair - why is his gorgeous partner have all those messy tears on their pretty face? no, no, not on his watch. he’d spend hours and hours - pulling silly faces, making you food, being at your beck and call - until he hears your melodic laughter once more.
๑ -- boyfriend! luka, who’s most definitely whipped for you, and he isn’t afraid to show it. he’d buy (and wear) those stupid matching shirts for you, like his says ‘i’m with sexy’ and yours would say ‘i’m sexy’ 😭 (THIS ONE IS DUMB I'M SORRY)
๑ -- boyfriend! luka, who forever reassures you. he’s yours as much as you’re his. jealousy shouldn’t be an issue, because even if you don’t see it, everyone else sees how he follows behind you like a sad puppy when you’re ignoring him
(“luka, honey, are you.. crying?” “NO.. it’s just sweat..” (he is definitely crying.))
GACHA GODS PLEASE LET MY BABY BOY COME HOME EARLY.. I FARMED FOR HIM AND EVERYTHING (ó﹏ò｡)

In Fashion Dreamer, you'll collect different types of currency. Here are their purposes:
E-point: use it to make customized items and buy showroom furniture
Lucky coin: use it to buy consumable accessories for photoshoots
Gacha ticket: use it in a gacha machine to unlock a random customizable item
Bingo ticket: use it to play in a bingo machine to earn more E-points
Key: use it to unlock a customizable item of your choice
All of them can be acquired in-game without real-life purchases. You don't need any of these currencies to get new clothing items, as "liking" an item will add it to your wardrobe.

AK CN just announced this. Holy shit this is huge
(Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/11zeg46/cn_headhunting_rule_adjustment/)
There's actually even way more info than that, but let's talk about what it all means as simply as we can.
There is now a new pity rule in standard headhunting - For all new banners with a solo 6 star operator that isn't limited, there is now a pity like with limited banners. After 150 rolls if you still dont get the desired operator, the next one will be guaranteed to be the 6 star. This is in ADDITION to the pity mechanic of every roll after 50 rolls of not getting a 6 star giving you +2% to your odds. This means in the absolute worst case scenario, where you roll a spook at the 150th roll and then have the worst luck possible, it will take you a maximum of 250 rolls to guarantee the rateup operator. Again, this is absolute worst case scenario where you are literally losing vs several 90+% odds in a row.
All the Year 1 6 and 5 star operators can't spook you anymore - Say goodbye to a random Silverash reminding you that Mlynar will never love you the way he can, every single Year 1 6 star and 5 star is out of the standard headhunting. This is in fact, a good thing: less operators on a banner means its harder to spook you, and almost all the Year 1 operators are available completely for free via the Recruitment system. If you really want the Year 1s (lets say, you're targeting Shamare for the Tequila trading post), there is a new rotating banner that only holds the Year 1 operators. Just beware that pulling in this Core banner does not give you green and yellow certificates for duplicates. You still should spam Recruitment to get duplicates, because Core banner pulls get you blue certificates that go into buying more Core banner tickets. This means all resources that you get from the Core Banner, all go back to the Core Banner.
Thorns and Mountain are now able to be Starter 6 stars - No explanation needed, these fuckers will carry all new players so hard this might genuinely affect how they learn strategy. Lmao.
The Gold Certificate Shop now has a wider selection - Operators on rateup on the Core banners also appear in the Gold certificate shop for a direct purchase, just the same as the standard banner. If you've got the certs, you have double the choices now in the shop!
Overall, I would say these are good changes, though they may make the gacha /look/ more intimidating to new players who won't immediately understand the difference.
It's easier now to get the operators you want, you will have more choices in the shop, there is a new safety net in the standard headhunting banners, and blue headhunting tickets also happen to be discounted at 30% off
Very nice

So am I the only one who remembers when all of Love 365 Otome Dating Sim games were seperate and actually playable?
I remember playing all of these games daily; Rental Boyfriend, Office Lover, Sweet Scandal, Sweet Proposal, Royal Midnight Kiss, etc. all as separate standalone apps and loved them.
I’m so happy that I was able to play ALL of these before they merged all of these into one app. Scary I know. But they were really good with the way they were.
Feel bad for those who likely won’t ever get to experience them the way they were and are stuck with ads or limited tickets to read like 2-3 dialogue worth of chapters, paying for everything. It really sucks now. So expensive.
People spent so much on those standalone apps too. Imagine waking up one day and seeing it all gone.
I mean just look at these reviews.
There are TONS of them like this. I mean ALMOST ALL.
You’d expect they’d at least provide some sort of compensation/ refund for those who flushed actual money down these apps, but no, no warning or reach out, nothing. They ripped off of so many players. Oh and they don’t respond to anyone anymore nor check reviews from what I’ve noticed so I guess they just gave up.
I don’t know why they felt the need to do this, as they clearly had many players spending money on their apps (MULTIPLE apps) and I don’t think merging and following through with the use of coins in Love 365 did them any better if it were the case of making more money. Its truly sad how they fell off.
Nothing serious by me. I don’t usually see many people addressing what they did either. Likely because new players after this update have taken over so it’s all fine with them. Almost felt i was stuck in some type of matrix as if I’m the only one who remembered how it’s supposed to be lol.
It’s just slightly frustrating not having those gacha games anymore that brought so much nostalgia and fun late nights. All progress and efforts lost.
I wouldn’t recommend supporting a company like this. But oh well. What can frustrated people do except move on lol.

Why I Dislike Sonic Speed Simulator
I sometimes see people in the notes of Speed Sim refs saying that maybe they should start playing it/get back into it. I want to ask, for your sakes, that you do not. The only reason I still play it is for this blog. I would love to stop. I keep going so that no one else will have to play to unlock characters for references. I will also be adding a disclaimer to future Speed Sim posts. Maybe this is a bit excessive, but this game is starting to break me.
I understand that some people like the game, and you all control what games you choose to play. In my opinion however, playing Speed Sim is really, really not worth it.
If you want a specific explanation of the problems, you can read it below the cut
Problem 1: Gameplay
The gameplay of SSS is simple, to put it kindly. There are a few different aspects of the game, each of which has only the bare minimum amount to do.
You can run around the world. This lets you collect rings and experience. You can also destroy badniks, which exclusively consists of doing repeated homing attacks until you destroy them. They can technically hit you, but all that does is knock you back.
You can do time trials. Actually somewhat fun. Not much more to say about them.
You can enter races. PvP races which are fine. Fun at first, get boring when you have to grind for race tickets.
You can fight bosses. By "bosses" I of course mean "Eggman" and "Eggman but with more health." It is almost exactly the same fight. You run around breaking shield generators, dodging the same two attacks, and then deal a set amount of damage to him before the shield returns. Repeat. Your prize is spins on (one of) the gacha wheels.
You can complete quests. Actually decent! At least until you run out of quests. Good thing there are daily quests to keep you "entertained" with their repetitive tasks. Also, ignore the fact that the tasks for quests are just engaging with the rest of the mediocre game.
All of the above mechanics grow dull and grind-y very quickly. Soon, every part of the game becomes a chore. The game itself even seems to have realized this, and thus includes an auto-run feature, so you can collect rings and xp without needing to do anything!
I am generally of the opinion that it's a bad sign if a game is un-fun enough it needs to add in the ability to skip the gameplay, but that's just me (that's part of why I stopped playing Star Rail).
Problem 2: Skins
We all know the real reason people play SSS isn't the game itself: it's the cool outfits! 95% of which are only available during limited events and/or by spending actual money. You can also expect to do a lot of boring grinding if you don't spend money. Speaking of spending money...
Problem 3: Microtransactions
Time to talk about the true "heart" of the game: Robux. Now, I will give Speed Sim itself half a pass on this one, as from what I've seen, Roblox as a whole has what I would consider an unsavory emphasis on microtransactions, especially for a game with a playerbase of 50% children aged 12 or under, and another 15% between 13 and 16 (Statista: Roblox user distribution worldwide 2022, by age group). With that being said though, Sonic Speed Simulator doesn't seem to have any qualms about asking for money wherever they can.
I could make a whole other post about all the ways this game offers for you to spend money. You want more spins on the gacha wheels? Spend money! You want to get three gacha eggs for the price of one (certain vending machines only)? Spend money! You want to skip the animation you have to watch every time you buy an egg from said gacha machines? Spend money! You want to do less grinding for xp/race tickets/event objectives/candy/whatever? Money, money, money!!!
The game has a lot of the trademark warning signs for a cash grab gacha game:
Several different kinds of currency, most or all of which can be purchased with premium currency
Many different skins to unlock, using the assorted currencies mentioned above (including ones that are specifically only purchasable with premium currency)
Gacha wheels. Many, many gacha wheels. (Not counting the dozens of vending machines, I can think of at least four)
Grindy gameplay that can largely be skipped by spending money
Again, if a game is un-fun enough to have an option for players to spend real money to skip the gameplay, that's a bad sign.
Problem 4: Crunch
I haven't done much looking into it myself, but I've seen many people say that GameFam (the company that creates Speed Sim) treats its employees very poorly. The game advertises its weekly updates, which requires a lot of crunch in order to get content out quickly. This is obviously bad for the people involved, and also has negative effects on the game.
Many features are clearly rushed, and there's a general lack of polish. From glitching through the map, to races starting several seconds before or after the countdown ends, to untextured models, to many small bugs, it's clear that the developers are not given enough time to clean things up before they have to move on to the next week's content.
*
Thank you to anyone who actually read this far. This was a long post, but I wanted to be thorough in my explanation. This is probably the last dedicated post I will make about this, since this is really not what this account is for, but I still think it's an important one.
You are welcome to ask questions about any of this — preferably in the replies so as not to clutter the sonicreferencephotos feed — but otherwise the disclaimers are all I'll be saying on the topic for the foreseeable future. Take care of yourselves.

Fashion Dreamer Thoughts
Some things I found interesting about Fashion Dreamer! (Not everything will be here) I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts about it too :D Please note, all these screenshots were taken from the first trailer and store listing info only, so please take everything with a heaping pinch of salt (if future info disproves everything lmao)!
Also please note this post is pretty text and image-heavy! You may want to open it over wi-fi only or on desktop!
1. Character Customisation
First of all, it looks like we have the option to play with female/male looking avatars (finally)! However, the screenshot showing the male avatar doesn’t look to have any dresses/one-piece clothes in his inventory so clothing may still be gender-locked...
Secondly, it looks like the male avatar has facial hair?? The light beige around his chin looks like it anyway. At the very least, his eyebrows are definitely also beige, so it seems like we can have different colours for our hairstyle and eyebrows!
Unnatural skintones for all your fantasy needs... Or at least this ghostly zombie-like one which I haven’t seen any living human have. Since Fashion Dreamer takes place in the virtual world of Eve, it makes sense that we’d be able to have them! It might just be me, but it also looks like there are more height variations available too - I don’t remember the difference being so big between the shortest and tallest options before.
(On the billboard at the back, there are matching sailor uniforms for both genders, which ties back to my previous thinking that clothes might be gender-locked... I hope I’ll be proved wrong)
Sweet new hairstyles! We can mirror the styles and dye the same style in different ways, however it seems to be reminiscent of GM2 in that the fringe and back style aren’t able to be selected separately (Going off the trailer when the avatar’s hair switches from a wispy sideswept fringe and pigtails to this long blunt cut immediately)
Since this was in the part of the trailer featuring photoshoots (more on that soon) I’m assuming the second icon is pose selection? Along with hairstyle, hair colour and eyebrow style. Being able to change your avatar’s height/skin colour and face shape might be the first and second last icons (That’d be pretty cool, considering those options were locked behind completing the main story in previous GM games!) The third one is the one I’m confused about, since I would have thought that the clothes change icon would be something like a shirt or hanger lol - maybe it’s accessories??
2. Gameplay Mechanics
So... from everything I’ve seen in the trailer, it doesn’t seem like we earn money through styling anymore - instead we earn brand influencer points? Along with bingo tickets, which serve a currently unknown purpose. Leveling up increases our item box space (which I assume would be the equivalent of our closet in GM) and nets us creative points which will be used in fashion designing!
I think it was @alphards-asterism who mentioned something about not being able to buy clothes from the exhibition mall anymore, but it looks like it might still be available judging by the last screenshot (taken from the store listing images)? Unless the whole thing is just a set for the photoshoot feature, which would be MEGA disappointing :(
There are... rarities for clothes now??? Not sure how to feel about that; it kind of reminds me of those mobile gacha games where higher rarity=higher charm/popularity. Maybe it only affects the amount of points needed to create it? Another thing that caught my eye is the ‘type’ - the dress in the first screenshot is type A, while the earrings in the second don’t have a type. I wonder what this means? :o
It seems like Fashion Dreamer truly does emphasise on creating your own brand, with us being able to create anything from dresses to socks to earrings! It looks like the creative points we earn from leveling up are used to unlock new designs. It also looks like there are lots of colours available (from the start...? Here’s hoping there’s no freaking colour hunting in this game... :’))
3. PHOTOSHOOTS
PHOTOSHOOTS RETURN!!! I know we had the photo taking in GM4, but that one just felt so lackluster to me :( I’m sooo excited for this feature to be improved and expanded upon!
The sets look absolutely amazing - the angel wings illusion is so super cute (Pripara, anyone?) The avant-garde looking monochrome/blue set are really striking and includes mannequin styling! The last screenshot is my fave for two reasons: lots of pink and a gorgeous frame too!!
The background looks like the brand backgrounds in previous GM games, doesn’t it? With all the repeating patterns and text? Maybe it alludes to a new brand 👀 or I’m just reading too much into it LOL.
There’s a ‘Play Pose Motion’ option, so I think it means we can save videos instead of just pictures now! In the second screenshot, there’s a ‘Drone Camera’ option - I’m not sure what it’ll look like, but it’s nice to know that we don’t have to stick to just the usual front-facing camera anymore.
These 3 things were the biggest sections of the trailer that really caught my eye (besides the obvious stuff, like graphical improvement and such)! I’m gonna hold off on commenting on the player interaction because I think there’s really just not enough info about it, BUT I will mention that I would be heartbroken if there aren’t any weird but lovable NPCs anymore... I can’t really imagine a GM game without colourful characters like Emmylou, Sophie, Rosie/Yolanda/Alina or even good ol’ Uncle Tim (LMAO) even if they’re trying to move away from Girls Mode and rebrand to Fashion Dreamer.
Anyway here’s hoping we’ll get more info soon!! Thanks for reading, and feel free to chime in with your own thoughts or things you’re interested in! :D

any tips for someone who just got their first car?
why do you ask me, an anime idol gacha mobile rhythm game erotica writer, this
I mean I do have tips, but still, why
Some essentials i recommend leaving in your car just in case:
Something sharp like scissors or a knife
deodorant
hand sanitizer
paper towels
pain medication (just something generic like acetaminophen or ibuprofen)
bandaids
a jacket
umbrella
what else uhhh
do not fucking skimp out on oil changes. please. trust me.
drive in a way that's predictable, not in a way that's nice
Comfort yourself with the knowledge that everyone else around you is also trying very hard to get where they need to be safely.
Remind yourself that you also don't know them and they may be idiots. Treat them as such.
use your turn signal
use your seatbelt, regardless of customs wherever you are
learn how to change a tire, check your oil and ideally, how to change your oil
the few minutes you'll shave off by speeding can be offset by literally any little thing, it's not worth it
Committing traffic violations if you are visibly not from the area (having plates from a different province, state, country, etc) is wayyyyy more likely to get you a ticket. Cops are pigs and will target you because they know you likely will not be able to make it to a court day to contest it. Smaller towns are also worse in terms of giving tickets
If you get a ticket, try to pay it asap (if you intend on doing so and not contesting it). then call whatever department you paid and VERIFY that they've received the payment and you're no longer liable.
don't leave food trash in your car. did you know cars can get roach infestations? that they can get ant infestations? it's disgusting. don't let it happen
ngl gas station apps kinda slap. some are better than others but for the most part they all get you cheaper gas and cheaper treats. try out a couple for the ones in your area and see which ones give you the best deals
I didn't include this in the list but if you have any medication you take daily (or take in response to certain circumstances), see if you can spare a few pills to store in your car in case you ever forget/need to take one asap
#while i hope this helps i must say. did not expect this in my inbox today#good luck with the car ig???#crow

Hiii!! Previous anon from the most recent self aware gacha pulling ask and the ask about a reader who starts asking for big impossible things
Thank you so much for answering the both of them!! Sorry if any of my asks came out as curt or anything
Going on to what I’m going to talk about. I’ve been imagining a reader in the enstars self aware au who shows no biases to anyone at first. They do like 3 pulls and just work with whatever cards they get. They’ll also randomize the characters on their Home Screen whenever they get bored. It seems like they’re saving up gems, tickets, dias for something but what? Lets just say that this is on engstars and the reader has a good idea on the upcoming banners.
Everything’s like normal until the idols realize that the reader has been hovering around opening and closing the game today. Like they’re waiting for something. Then the newest banner releases and the reader starts pulling with all the dias they’ve saved on that banner.
If the reader doesn’t get their beloved idol card then lets just say they sulk and stop playing the game for a week or two!
If the reader does then they start spending all their tickets and gems on the idol card they wanted. Immediately going for things like clothes, spps, or story chapters first! And immediately puts them on their team at the center, no matter what color the song may be.
Sorry for rambling! This specific idea has just been racking my brain for the past day!
Don´t worry, you´re perfectly fine!

I would imagine in a situation like this, the idols would be quite anxious as you haven´t given them any hints as to who of them you prefer. You aren´t pulling for any of the current banners and you don´t even conciously choose who you want to see on your homescreen. The one you got as your starter card is probably happy that at least they get to always be on your team because they´re most likely your strongest card and you at least actually chose them in some capacity.
All the others are nervous because they have no idea how you feel about them. Do you like them? Do you hate them? Or are you just indifferent to them? It kind of keeps them awake at night and they need to know
Every time a banner or event passes by and you don´t go for their card, they´re always very disappointed, wondering if this is a sign that they´ll need to try harder to to earn your love.
And then all hell breaks loose when you finally do end up pulling on a banner, spending all of your hard-eard dias for a single character who obviously couldn´t be happier. All this time, you were patiently waiting for their turn! Oh, they´re so so delighted and overjoyed! You like them more than everyone else! Depending on who they are they´re definitely going to rub this in the others´s faces.
" Oh didn´t you see? They completely skipped your banners but they spent it all for me. Oh, they must love me more than anyone else!"
Of course the idol is trying their best to get to you as well when you´re trying so hard but it´s going to be very difficult when everyone is conspiring against them. Now that everyone realizes that this characters if your favorite they all have a common enemy.
