AACCKKK!! i love love love the tension in lacrymaria olor. you write each character so well, you have such an amazing mind ✨
i’d love to see how he treats her during the event! probs very protective and flaunting that she’s *his* since there are so many people, refusing the “amusement” and also getting possessive if others try to rope mc in.
Tumblr media
His hands, decorated in impressive rings, hold you securely on his lap as he watches everyone in the typically fairly empty throne hall.
His chin rests on your shoulder playfully in nature as he chuckles at the way you seem to watch everyone in the room currently. "The man wearing the dark blue robes.." He offers, voice rumbling against your back with how close he holds you. "..his name is Min Yoongi. He might look a little short and unimpressive, but he has quite the temper." He chuckles, making you tense up a bit. "Don't worry. He knows how to control himself. He wouldn't dare do anything to you- much less anyone else."
"Is he- like.. an enemy to you?" You wonder, and Jungkook hums to himself as he thinks.
"I.. hm. I don't think we consider each other enemies." He explains. "We coexist. There's bound to be tensions every now and then. And if you're asking me if we ever fought one another- yes we did." Jungkook says. "I gave him a decorative.. souvenir, one might say." He chuckles, and only now, as the man he's introduced as Min Yoongi turns, do you notice the deep scar across one of his eyes.
"Does he hate you now?" You wonder, and he laughs.
"Oh no, don't worry." He says. "He always looks like that." He jokes, before he leans back a little, and pulls you with him to rest against his chest, before one of his hands reaches out to offer you a piece of.. you assume it might be a fruit, but you're not sure. It tastes nice- a bit mild, with a bit of sourness to it, but fresh. So you accept it, reaching out to take it from his hands-
but he moves it away, a playful smirk on his lips as you look at him in question. You open your mouth to test your theory on what he wants you to do- and he does what you've expected, placing the tiny fruit into your mouth, a satisfied smile on his lips.
"Truly adorable." An unfamiliar voice says, and Jungkook's entire demeanor changes to one of annoyance.
"Taehyung." He says, almost disappointed, and you look towards the voice to find a man dressed in all black.
"Ah, you could at least pretend to be happy to see me in front of your..." He draws out the last syllable, presumably because he's not sure what you are to the king.
"Mate." He clarifies, holding you a bit tighter as he lifts his head a little more. "What do you want." He asks, and the man named Taehyung laughs.
"Ah, simply wanted to see her myself." He smiles. "You can't expect word not to spread that the youngest King has taken a human companion for himself." He chuckles.
"She's not a companion, you whore." Jungkook says, almost with a bored tone to his voice. "Do you not have someone else to seduce tonight?" He complains.
"You know as they say-" Taehyung smirks, gaze sharp. "-you want what you cannot have."
"And I want to decapitate you right now- which is something I can have, if I so desire." Jungkook warns. "It's always surprising to me how little manners you seem to have."
"Don't worry, I will leave you be." he chuckles, not at all intimidated it seems like. "Your 'mate' is becoming a little scared, I fear." He chuckles, before he leaves, leaving Jungkook to lean his head back, sighing in dramatic agony.
"I guess.. he's someone to hate?" you wonder quietly, and at that he laughs
"Truly so!" He agrees, before he looks at you again, leaning his head into the crook of your neck. "I want to leave so badly.." He whines into the crook of your neck. "I don't like gatherings like this." He complains, and you can't help but giggle a bit at his somewhat childish words- until he bites your skin, making you squeak in surprise. "Are you laughing at my suffering, pet?" He asks, and you can't help but squeeze your legs shut at the way he lowly speaks. "You're not making it any easier with how enticing you look right now." He purrs against your skin, and you begin to squirm on his legs.
"Jungkook- people are looking.." You wonder, and he simply grins against your skin.
"I've noticed." He simply tells you. "How about we leave this rather boring event?" He asks, and you still at that. "Not for that. I just want you for myself, in all innocent touch. I like it when you hold me." He explains, and turn a little at that, arms wrapping around his neck.
"I'll always hold you, whenever you want me to." You say, and he sighs in bliss.
"What a beautiful thing to say." He chuckles. "What if I want you to hold me forever?" He asks, and you shrug, leaning your head on his shoulder.
"Then you'll have to find a way to carry me around all day." You joke, making him chuckle.
"That can be arranged, I'm sure."

Now that we're entering into 2024, I'm asking some artists and writers that I follow:
1) What is the one piece you're most proud of from this past year?
2) What are some pieces that you would have liked more people to see? If you can include links, I'd love to go check them out!
3) What were your top three favorite pieces (art, comics, fics, etc) that someone else has made this past year?
(As always, no pressure to respond! Feel free to just ignore, or let me know if you'd rather I not send you these kinds of asks in the future.)
Oh this is fun! :D
1) The drawing I'm the most proud of this year is actually one I never ended up posting lmao, so I suppose this is the perfect reason to actually do that
Tumblr media
I always feel a bit self-concious about posting non-fanart drawings cuz they don't tend to gain as much attention. Which, I am fully aware that there are more important things than clout! But I am a simple woman, I crave validation 😔 Anyway, I am still very happy about how this one turned out. I very much prefer drawing characters over enviroments, which led to me being way worse at drawing enviroments than characters, so I've been pushing myself for the last couple of years to get better at drawing backgrounds and surroundings. While I still definetily have a lot of room for improvement, this illustration here is the best I've done in drawing enviroments yet.
2) Again, original stuff don't tend to get as much attention (which I fully understand btw, I don't wanna make it seem like I'm complaining too much, I very much appreciate any and all support I get!!!!) but this post with some doodles of my OCs as well as this random drawing of some forest with a big stone head lying in it are a couple of posts I wouldn't mind if more people saw so..... the links are there if ya wanna have a look 👀
3) Oh man, I've seen so many awesome artpieces this year, i can't guarantee that these are my actual top 3 picks, but here are some that I could remember liking (and that I also managed to find lol) (also these are in no particular order
This GIF was the first piece of RotTMNT fanart I ever reblogged and it's still glued to my mind it's just great honestly.
Man I do not like Timothy in the 2012 TMNT series at all but MAN do I love the way pinetreevillain adapted the character for the Rise universe! He's made quite a few comics of Rise!Timothy and he made the character so extremely likable I just hdsjhgjakfga also Pine's artstyle is delicous yummy yum go check out his art now!
I really like those reanimation projects where a bunch of people collaborate and reanimate induvidual segments in their own style, and there was recently one of those released that was a remake of The Clothes Don't Make The Turtle episode from season two of RotTMNT and it's great! Go and watch it here!

i have no idea what the abandoned carnival au is but I 100% support rambling so here's your opportunity to ramble about whatever you wanna say about it!
(and if you're like me and can't answer non-specific questions here's some for ya:
What are the character's worst flaws? How do they interact with other characters? Is there any specific event that stuck with them from their past? How do others treat them? Any significant traits important to the plot?)
Hope your day's goin well!
WHAAAAG I LOVE YOU MINUTE/P !!!!! ok no one would really know much abt the carnival au because I haven't mentioned it really um haha. I did draw the moon for this au in Sundays daycare magma so yay if you need a face to the name you have one!
urm let's see here. so, for moon, I think his worst flaw is being unable to communicate properly. He struggles to keep things happy, he really does bring things down a lot and that's a flaw pushed on him by the process of his paranormal creation. what who said that.
sun's worst problem is his pride. he refuses to admit when he's wrong and he refuses to TALK about whatever he was wrong about. he's a 'drop it, I don't want to talk about this' kinda guy. he's a professional ghoster, if I do say so myself. totally not a pun linked to his paranormal creation. whaaat who keeps saying these things??? seriously this is crazy!!!
moon doesn't MEAN to push people away, he was made to operate a carousel, not make friends. But if he knows that someone is worth keeping ther, dedicated to staying with him, he can be soso clingy. he still has to rely on others though, otherwise he can't run, just like a music box. Sun has major people person energy, but he still gets so overwhelmed. He took on over 5 jobs around the entire carnival, between both entertainment and upkeep. so he has an overall energetic personality, bit when he burns out he burns out HARD. this makes him often irritable or overbearing for a lot of people, but he balanced it out between him and moon.
the fire. whenever the carnival closed down for the night. the missing kids. what happened to everybody else around here?
no, nothing much.
they really CANT get out much anymore, they've really tied down their roots since the place stopped moving from town to town way back in '47! furthermore, they cannot really talk to much of anybody but each other! and moon hasn't been wound up since the carnival wasn't needed anymore! that's why sun was SOOO happy when a human- you - showed up! can you believe it? moon enjoys your company too, but someone can only spend 60+ years in solitude for oh so long! can you imagine not aging, because you're nothing more than a puppet- a doll inside the puppet?? oh, he has so many things to show you!!! you're quite nice, probably not well suited to hang around such a guy all down in the dumps all the time! not that moon complains, having someone willing to care so much about him just the same- isn't that COOL??
Sun wasn't always supposed to take over all these other jobs. He used to be happier, calmer. I wonder what made him so tense. He's always stuck in a nervous state, no matter how happy he is around you. Moon wasn't always sad- he used to be a happy and mischievous guy that would even dance along to his music. hard to believe how broken down the tunes of the calliope have gotten.

so... i don't know where to start or what to call this, but let this be my small thoughts about kouta from tsumigram by @74n5n
i don't promise that there will be some smart thoughts and brilliant theories, because i can't consider myself a theorist, i'm dumb for theories. just some random and messy thoughts because... i like kouta.
it also turned out to be a bit long and not very structured...
Tumblr media
so, i'm gonna start with my overall impression on him. kouta gives the impression of a very quiet, non talkative and closed person. he doesn't seem anxious to me, he's just distant.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
his poses in the drawings are closed, tense, perhaps weak like he's exhausted. his facial expression is often thoughtful, sad, also tense. sometimes neutral, but there is always some shade of melancholy. he doesn't seem so stressed, he seems very exhausted. as if there's no energy left in him.
that's... all i can say about him at a glance. he's just... a depressed guy who doesn't talk much.
I appreciate your concern, but I don't… want to talk very much. It's not about you, really, you're actually a nice person. Just— just my own problems.
he's not the kind of person you can tell a lot about just by looking at them. he doesn't have a lot of energy and he doesn't draw a lot of attention to himself.
I don't have a lot of friends, I don't get approached too often.
kouta isn't the kind of person who takes responsibility. he doesn't make decisions for himself, he's used to others making decisions for him.
Huh… so you're going to decide on our fates. Well, it can't surprise me.
It’s not surprising that my fate is going to be decided by someone else who I don't even know. So, no questions.
maybe other people just put pressure on him without giving him that opportunity? something like "oh no, i'll do x for you so you can have proper x" or something like that. he's used to having his life controlled by something outside of him, but not by himself. and did he once have that will? if so, whose fault is it that it disappeared? random thought.
i also think that kouta really has depression. he seems very weak, has little energy, death is often mentioned next to him (i'll talk about that later), which may remind of suicidal thoughts, his prisoner color is gray, which may indicate a low mood, he is quite indifferent to everything. he also mentioned in a dialogue with miku that he wakes up every hour (at least that's how it feels like to him).
Miku: Hmph. What are you doing here? Kouta: Have been waking up every hour… Ah, I mean, “every hour” is just what it feels like. I don't quite understand how time passes in this place…
and in the drawings i see bruises under his eyes? it resembles insomnia, sleep problems, which can also be a symptom of depression.
hm… i don't know what else to add. let this be a small intro. and let's move on to his memory reports.
Tumblr media
Record no.1 ▆▆ going to be a decent person today, ▆▆ leaving as usual. Do that, don't do that; it's pretty annoying, what's so scary? Pain is not scary. ▆▆ not afraid of anything that doesn't involve talking to others — otherwise, ▆▆ freezing in place and feeling like ▆▆ already gone. In the end, ▆ can't find enough strength to make a difference. The attempts ▆▆ gathered so far went in vain; ▆ would like to finish it for all, so that ▆ don't hate anymore, anyone. It's fine, ▆ will wake up soon.
i'm wondering… who is kouta talking about? i already have a couple thoughts on this, but for that i want to look at the record no.2
— What do you want? Not sure, I guess she was pouting. Of course, what else would she be doing. — I don't like that girl. Don't talk to her. — She's the one talking to me. Can't help it. — Do you not care about me? As if it's me who doesn't care! You constantly complain about each other to me. — I'm taking a nap. — It's dangerous to sleep in the train. I might be in a bad mood and not wake you up in time. I'm in a bad mood today, by the way. — Don't care. — Good luck at Kisaragi station. — Thank you very much.
i see some pretty toxic friendships here. definitely jealousy in a friendship isn't something that can be called healthy.
and i see it this way: kouta's friend (girl A) took offense to him for talking to a certain girl (girl B) they both know and she (girl A) doesn't really like.
You constantly complain about each other to me.
↑ says that girl A knows girl B and they both knows kouta. three-way friendship?
and again what i'm seeing here is that they're trying to make a decision for kouta. "don't talk to this girl, i don't like her and i don't care what you think".
and in the phrase "Good luck at Kisaragi station" i see an implicit death wish. in the kusaragi station legend, the woman most likely died in the end.
and first of all, the theme of death again, and secondly, death wishes in a friendship… really, as kouta himself says, it's not the kind of friendship you see in stories on the screen:
I guess it's the closest to friendship I've experienced; though I don't know how they viewed that, and it certainly didn't resemble the friendship seen in stories on the screen.
kouta himself is in no hurry to call it friendship, though. it's the closest to friendship, as he puts it.
A screeching sound and I grip her hand by instinct, maybe getting scared or trying to save her or both; black out, I think the train crashed.
but still, kouta tries to save this friendship? but it seems too late now because "the train crashed". or he's used to this friendship, despite all the toxicity, so he's scared of losing it, so he saves it to keep his comfort zone. this has no particular foundation, just a thought.
so. back to the record no.1… i think he's talking about girl A. but he may also be talking about himself?
"The attempts ▆▆ gathered so far went in vain; ▆ would like to finish it for all, so that ▆ don't hate anymore, anyone."
↑ just reminded me of kouta. i'm not sure this is specifically about him. leaning towards that this is about another person.
that reminded me of him because he said something similar, but here it's more clear that he's talking about himself ↓
I promise, I'll kill either myself or someone else when I get fed up with it.
this part is from record no.3 and for some reason it seems to me that record no.1 and record no.3 are similar. it's like in them kouta is talking about one person but at the same time talking about himself. maybe he's talking about himself but putting it to another person he thinks he's similar?
It's fine. It's fine. We're similar yet different, how to put it.
maybe he's really talking about his friend and himself? but maybe... about three people at once? about the girl A, girl B and kouta himself? but it seems to me that this is all connected with girl A and kouta. i... still need to think, so it's a raw thought.
Tumblr media
voice drama. i'm not going to say that kouta is very taciturn, it's obvious. he's pretty hard to talk to, isn't he? but still, i saw a couple things that i found interesting.
Kouta: Not funny… It's a joke to you, but life is seriously unfair… Ego: …I was joking, but I get it. About life being unfair. I mean, ironically, I wouldn't be able to act so leisurely if I still cared. Mhm. You get constantly told, the world is huge and full of fun, there's always something. Though it's all meaningless when you simply can't feel enjoyment as a person. The easiest solution is to keep yourself up with instant pleasures, but, obviously, they fade away in an instant. It becomes worse and worse as you're growing up, too.
kouta says nothing in response. perhaps he agrees with ego's words? he probably does, since he's asking the next question, continues the dialogue. it's unspoken agreement, maybe?
Kouta: Did you have a good childhood? Warden. Kouta: Do you feel like there's something you can come back to? Kouta: Uh, such as… You feel at a loss in university and then remember your childhood dreams. They might be frozen now, but they're still here. Or, you come back to nice memories and find comfort in them again. Kouta: There are also people who didn't have anything from the very start. This kind of unfairness. Not having anything, ever. Kouta: If you had a decent childhood, you can't get it.
perhaps, kouta wants at least some source of positive emotions in his life. he sees memories as something that can soothe and bring joy. he wants to have memories in which he can find solace, since he cannot find solace now. but he has nothing.
perhaps he really was constantly told that life is full of great opportunities — just look around. but he can't feel the pleasure of life. and he doesn't even have any memories that he can grab onto and drink the last juices of positive emotions from them.
maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's not trying to solve something on his own. and it seems to me that his crime looks like something that brought him joy, but began to crumble before his eyes through someone's/his fault. and when he found the strength to fix something on his own, it was too late. his own decision brought nothing but loss, death. but it's just a thought. it's still hard for me to put together what he's talking about and his memories.
it's also interesting how kouta doesn't speak directly about himself, but uses such figures of speech as "there are also people". but it's painfully obvious that he means himself. he really doesn't like to talk about himself, does he?
Kouta: …You remind me of my classmate. Ego: Really? Kouta: No, uh… I don't really remember her, but it was my classmate. Ego: Is she related to your crime? Kouta: … Ego: Your stare is not telling me anything. Kouta: I don't know what “crime” you're talking about.
it seems that kouta's silence is another agreement, because he has already shown such behavior here, right? but he quickly denies it, as before. kouta is quite... protective of himself?
Ego: Now I feel sort of bad for teasing you. Kouta: For sure. People like you only stop when the object of your bullying starts crying. Ego: I'm not a bully! Kouta: Bullying me is the first thing you did once coming to this room.
Kouta: …You remind me of my classmate.
and also the fact that he says that ego bullies him (i'm not sure if he's joking/being sarcastic or not, but kouta doesn't look like someone who will joke about this), and then talks about the similarity with his classmate — this suggests that a certain kouta's classmate also bullied him? or their attitude towards him was perceived as bullying. maybe it was girl A.
i can't be sure that kouta's theme is bullying, so i'm leaning towards the fact that he just felt her attitude towards him as bullying. but who knows? it's still only trial 1. we will see more in the future.
and if the girl A from kouta's memories is his classmate, then perhaps she is really related to his crime.
Kouta: You remind me of someone… Ego: Am I? Kouta: Ah, no… who… Ego: Eh? Kouta: I've just got a weird feeling. Ego: What? Kouta: I don't quite remember who.
it's also interesting that at the beginning of the interrogation, kouta mentions that ego reminded him of someone, and after the bell rings, he says that ego reminds him of his classmate. he really remembered, didn't he? or did he not want to talk at first and pretended that he didn't remember? kouta doesn't want to remember a certain classmate? but maybe he really didn't remember at first. and then remembered. strange to me.
Kouta: I've just got a weird feeling. Ego: What? Kouta: I don't quite remember who. Ego: Is that so. Kouta: …Is this because of MILGRAM? Ego: What? Kouta: The problems with our memories. Ego: Hm-m, maybe. It seems to be the case with most of you. In a different amount, though, everyone has scattered memories. Hotaru-san mentioned the feeling of an obstacle in their head that doesn't let them remember more. Kouta: It gives me a headache, trying to remember… How troublesome.
by the way, it's interesting that kouta doesn't remember, he has a weird feeling, it gives him a headache, trying to remember, and hotaru mentions the feeling of an obstacle in their head that doesn't let them remember more. all prisoners don't remember something in different ways, it causes them different feelings. this is an interesting thing that i noticed, but it doesn't really relate to the topic.
Tumblr media
interactions with other prisoners. i'm not going to talk here about how exactly he interacts with others, i just want to point out some things i've noticed.
U-uh, don't scare me like this.
Not that I remember… Please don't shake me.
Duh! Can you people stop suddenly approaching me from behind?!
Ack… No… Uh, please don't shake me.
Just, please don't be too loud when you do…
…Please stop getting so close to me.
P-please don't hit me on my back…
kouta doesn't like physical contact and loud noises? most likely. could he have moments of sensory overload, maybe? i think so. random thought, but let it be.
ah, i've also noticed that kouta is often shaken by others… when we want to wake a sleeping person, we shake them. (eternal) sleep is death. a theme that surrounds kouta. kouta doesn't like to be shaken. kouta doesn't want to wake up? kouta doesn't want to be alive? ah, i guess i'm overthinking this.
i noticed that the theme of death surrounds kouta. even in his dialog with remi:
A lot of people receive nothing but “they were kind to everyone and we never knew they were suffering so much” at their funeral.
funeral. it's interesting that even there are references to death.
in the dialogue with chise, kouta notices that she falls asleep with jacka in her arms. and he doesn't take responsibility, he's just going to tell ego about it, leaving it for her. like, "hey, something happened here, but i really don't want to deal with it, so i'll leave it for you."
She's hugging the rabbit… Hm? Hello there. Uh, but it's bad if Kawai-san keeps on sleeping on a cold floor… Um-m… I could ask someone to bring her to her cell… But she's not on good terms with anyone who could be strong enough. Ahh. I’ll just go ask Warden and leave her to deal with this.
but it's also cute that he cares about chise ^^
Tumblr media
let's take a quick look at the illustrations.
Tumblr media
his birthday illustration (so cute). it scares the hell out of me that his school photo with a mourning ribbon (moshou) is hanging behind him.
by the way, the same one hangs behind miku in his birthday illustration. i wonder if this is a general concept of birthdays illustrations or if it applies only to these two? we'll see more in the future, i guess. but even if we judge about this as an individual thing, then again… death. it really haunts him.
shameplant: delicate feelings, sensitivity
kouta doesn't seem like someone sensitive at first glance, does he? he's indifferent, most likely.
amaryllis: pride, brilliant beauty, chatter
chatter, huh? kouta isn't chatty at all.
carolina jasmine: sweet whisper, long life
i think i remember from kouta's memories the phrase that "he was only yelled at." and death again… hmm, interesting. i mean, all these oppositions.
Tumblr media
as for this illustration there's already very good analysis. i'm not gonna repeat it, but i'll just make a general conclusion: it all has a common concept of death and the shortness of life, what we have already seen in kouta. even the colors in the illustration aren't bright. they're grayish, gloomy.
Tumblr media
answers to questions. i'll try to be short... and it seems that new answers to the questions are waiting for us, so… maybe i'll make another post.
Tumblr media
perhaps kouta's parents were overprotective. it's not surprising to him that someone else makes decisions for him, that his fate is decided by someone else. maybe it's because of his parents.
it also reminds me of this from record no.2:
— I don't like that girl. Don't talk to her.
controlling thing, you know.
also, because of his parents, he may not like physical contact. it is possible that kouta was physically abused, hmm? but to be honest, i don't see anything that could talk about it, other than his reaction to when others touch him.
but still, his childhood was hardly a good, "decent" thing.
Tumblr media
so, as i said, kouta is used to having someone decide something for him. he's an art student, so he can draw, right? just a little.
but when he was asked to draw himself, he just crossed out the drawing. as if he considers his art to be something not good? this make me think that kouta was... forced to go to art college/university? maybe it wasn't solely his decision? even if they didn't force him, they just advised him? like, "hey, you seem to be good at drawing, why don't you go to art college?" and kouta, "hmm, okay…"
but it seems i'm overthinking again... never mind me. it seems that kouta is just not very confident in himself and his drawing abilities, so he decided to cross out the drawing.
hmm, but considering that, maybe kouta really doesn't like to show his feelings. he crossed out the drawing of himself and evasively answered the question of what he thinks about ego.
Tumblr media
some people can consider their art to be a reflection of their feelings, and kouta could consider even such a small sketch of himself as something personal, so he crossed it out, as if not wanting to show "himself" to others. and he also didn't want to talk about what he thinks about ego — because she reminds him of his classmate, and this is personal.
i also think that in kouta's life the feeling of control is quite important? this answer of his gave me this idea ↓
Tumblr media
he cannot predict the behavior of animals, which means he doesn't know how to behave in accordance with their behavior. it's easier if you know what's going to happen. you know how to react, how to behave, even how you might feel at such a moment. it seems that for kouta, this sense of control is important? at least that's what i thought. well, maybe not that important, but it does matter, i guess...
Tumblr media
and last, a little bit of silly and small thoughts (because i want to analyze him from top to bottom):
the 下 (down, below) used in his name reminds me of his behavior. he is "low", he is quiet, he is silent. could possibly refer to his possible relationship with someone — he is "below" someone.
it's been mentioned that if kouta was a macaroon, he would taste like candle wax... i know it's very silly, but still. candle. the candle burns but eventually goes out. it's like the process of life and death, right? again, i see the theme of death even here. candle wax is what's left of the candle after it goes out.
kouta as sanrio character is gudetama, according to this post. "Their name is a play on "gude gude"; used to describe someone with no energy or strength and possibly tama from tamago (egg). Gudetama is hard to motivate and has a negative, defeatist attitude. On its official Twitter account's profile comment, it says that it goes through trouble and murmur every day and that it only does its (tweets?) because "great people" told it to. It believes that some day it will be eaten." this reminds me of kouta's generally tired behavior, as well as the fact that he is used to having decisions made for him.
Tumblr media
so…. what can i say in the end?
you watch something crumble, break, but when you find the strength to save it, it's too late, it breaks down to the end. you find joy only in fleeting pleasures that quickly disappear like a burst bubble. you get used to the fact that your life is under someone else's control and you don't try to do something on your own - either because you've never tried, or because you don't have the strength left to live at all.
i can't be sure that i can say anything specific about kouta's crime… but, again, i have the general and pretty raw idea in my head.
i hope it didn't turn out to be completely stupid… and i'm sorry if i was wrong somewhere. but it was very interesting to analyze such a character who doesn't talk much about himself. i'm looking forward to more information about kouta...

Reading Letters from Watson's The Norwood Builder now! Here we go :)
“From the point of view of the criminal expert,” said Mr. Sherlock Holmes, “London has become a singularly uninteresting city since the death of the late lamented Professor Moriarty.” You literally killed him, Holmes, then faked your own death and spent years in hiding because of him, and now you're complaining that he's dead and you're bored - to the very one who's still recovering from the shock that you're alive? I diagnose you with some major Readjustment Issues and should consider therapy instead of just trying to cope with inappropriate humor. Watson is very valid in calling you whimsical
"At the time of which I speak Holmes had been back for some months, and I, at his request, had sold my practice and returned to share the old quarters in Baker Street." Of course. No news here
“I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes,” he cried. “You mustn't blame me. I am nearly mad. Mr. Holmes, I am the unhappy John Hector McFarlane.” Quite the introduction! By the way, why are so many of Holmes' clients young men on the verge of a nervous breakdown?
"Familiar as I was with my friend's methods, it was not difficult for me to follow his deductions, and to observe the untidiness of attire, the sheaf of legal papers, the watch-charm, and the breathing which had prompted them. Our client, however, stared in amazement." Character growth! Well done, Watson. I'm proud of you. Freemasonary, by the way, is so broad a movement it barely means anything. This quote prompted me to do some research into the symbols of freemasonry. The watch in itself isn't the symbol, a combination of a builder's square and compasses (used to draw perfect circles) with the letter G was the most common one. I guess Watson is referring to the fact that this gentlemen's watch has an added engraving or something similar with this symbol. Also, I wonder about the connection between freemasonary and the murdered man being a builder in this case.
“Arrest you!” said Holmes. “This is really most grati—most interesting. On what charge do you expect to be arrested?” Omg. Barely caught himself there
"My companion's expressive face" Oh, the contradictions in Holmes' character writing. Is Sherlock Holmes that expressive suddenly, or is Watson just able to read him really well?
"He was flaxen-haired and handsome in a washed-out negative fashion" Watson was that judgement really necessary
"For some years he has practically withdrawn from the business, in which he is said to have amassed considerable wealth." Not working, yet amassing wealth. I'd say that's suspicious but, really, under capitalism the only people who are able to gain wealth are those not working - either exploiting or investing (likely both)
"It is known that Mr. Jonas Oldacre had received a late visitor in his bedroom upon that night, and the stick found has been identified as the property of this person, who is a young London solicitor named John Hector McFarlane." Inviting young sollicitors into his bedroom at night. Creepy behaviour. (can't help but think about Dracula's Jonathan Harker). Also, I'm glad the openly naming of suspects is restricted nowadays. No opportunity of a fair trail otherwise
"The conduct of the criminal investigation has been left in the experienced hands of Inspector Lestrade, of Scotland Yard, who is following up the clues with his accustomed energy and sagacity.” Yay, we'll get to see Lestrade again!
"One moment, Lestrade,” said Holmes. “Half an hour more or less can make no difference to you, and the gentleman was about to give us an account of this very interesting affair, which might aid us in clearing it up.” “I think there will be no difficulty in clearing it up,” said Lestrade, grimly. Power struggle. Bless Holmes for working independent and not afraid to tell the police off
“‘Here is my will,’ said he. ‘I want you, Mr. McFarlane, to cast it into proper legal shape. I will sit here while you do so.’ “I set myself to copy it, and you can imagine my astonishment when I found that, with some reservations, he had left all his property to me." Strong Jekyll and Hyde paralell here. I wonder, is murder conviction a legal reason to exclude someone from a will? I guess that doesn't even matter anymore if McFarlane would be executed. And who will the inherentence go to then? The next in line family member? Strong motive for framing McFarlane for murder, then. Next line of inquiry, I guess: who else knew about the will?
Already really liking this story! Protect this poor young sollicitor from injustice, Holmes
"He was a strange little, ferret-like man" Comparing people to animals again. Did McFarlane really say that, Watson, or was that one of your fancy additions?
“You can imagine, Mr. Holmes, that I was not in a humour to refuse him anything that he might ask. He was my benefactor, and all my desire was to carry out his wishes in every particular." Dosing so might cost you your life, McFarlane. *mutters about power imbalace*
“Not until I have been to Blackheath.” “You mean to Norwood,” said Lestrade. “Oh, yes; no doubt that is what I must have meant,” said Holmes, with his enigmatical smile." Oh, Holmes is delightful here! Wasn't Blackheath where McFarlane lives? My guess is that Holmes wants to know what the connection between Oldacre and McFarlane's parents was. Were they both in a same freemasonry community? That would tie it neatly together
I don't trust Oldacre's motivation in leaving his inherentance to McFarlane. Seems a bit like whitewashing of ill-gotten money to me. Then, again, he wouldn't have arranged his own murder. Or - wait - is he really dead? Since there's only some blood and charred remains found. Easy enough to fake. I have a Theory. I feel Clever (likely wrong but who cares)
"You are too many for me" Love that expression. Going to use that
"It is curious—is it not?—that a man should draw up so important a document in so haphazard a fashion. It suggests that he did not think it was going to be of much practical importance. If a man drew up a will which he did not intend ever to be effective he might do it so.” He did not ever intend the will to be effective. I think we have our villain! *Points to my theory* And - did he hide McFarlane's walking cane on purpose? Motive still not entirely clear to me. Fake your own death for life insurence, sure, but not to claim an inherentence that is currently already your own. Something most be up with that money to devise an elaborate, dangerous plot like that
“Well, it is quite possible; but the case is not clear to me yet.” “Not clear? Well, if that isn't clear, what could be clear?" Oh, Lestrade. You started so well by being picking up that Holmes had Thoughts and being willing to listen to him. But now...
Holmes thinks a bypassing third person did it. I'm not buying that. And, after Lestrade's remark that no papers were taken while a third person would have done that, I don't think Holmes is convinced anymore either
"But it is evident to me that the logical way to approach the case is to begin by trying to throw some light upon the first incident—the curious will, so suddenly made, and to so unexpected an heir." Yes! Investigate that!
"There is no prospect of danger, or I should not dream of stirring out without you." Awww! Also, famous last words, Holmes
I had to look up what black-guard means. According to the cambridge dictonary, apperently a word for someone who has no moral principles.
Holmes did you really just call a human being 'fluffly?"
Yet another murder victim who was a terrible person and is not mourned. This is really a repeating theme
“‘You knew him at that time?’ said I." “‘Yes, I knew him well; in fact, he was an old suitor of mine. Thank Heaven that I had the sense to turn away from him and to marry a better, if a poorer, man." Oh, it's personal! Good for her for getting away from him
"She rummaged in a bureau, and presently she produced a photograph of a woman, shamefully defaced and mutilated with a knife. ‘That is my own photograph,’ she said. ‘He sent it to me in that state, with his curse, upon my wedding morning.’ What the fuck. Please let Oldacre be the villian of this story
"I crawled about the lawn with an August sun on my back, but I got up at the end of an hour no wiser than before." Another very amusing image
"Unless some lucky chance comes our way I fear that the Norwood Disappearance Case will not figure in that chronicle of our successes which I foresee that a patient public will sooner or later have to endure.” Holmes! Be more kind to your chronicler!
"But I fear, my dear fellow, that our case will end ingloriously by Lestrade hanging our client, which will certainly be a triumph for Scotland Yard.” Don't give up Holmes! *points to my theory, somehow it all still fits*
"I do not know how far Sherlock Holmes took any sleep that night, but when I came down to breakfast I found him pale and harassed, his bright eyes the brighter for the dark shadows round them." Now I'm feeling sad :( Please, Watson, cheer him up
"Take your breakfast, Watson, and we will go out together and see what we can do. I feel as if I shall need your company and your moral support to-day.” Awww
“At present I cannot spare energy and nerve force for digestion,” he would say in answer to my medical remonstrances." Damn it Holmes, that not how that works. Please take care of yourself
"He led us through the passage and out into a dark hall beyond. “This is where young McFarlane must have come out to get his hat after the crime was done,” said he." Wait, didn't the housekeeper say that McFarlane left his hat behind?? *beep beep* tempered with evidence?
“What a providential thing that this young man should press his right thumb against the wall in taking his hat from the peg! Such a very natural action, too, if you come to think of it.” Holmes was outwardly calm, but his whole body gave a wriggle of suppressed excitement as he spoke. “By the way, Lestrade, who made this remarkable discovery?” “It was the housekeeper, Mrs. Lexington, who drew the night constable's attention to it.” This is hilarious. Holmes is so ready to tear this 'evidence' to treads
"The fact is that there is one really serious flaw in this evidence to which our friend attaches so much importance.” “Indeed, Holmes! What is it?” “Only this: that I know that that mark was not there when I examined the hall yesterday" Yes :) Now just find the evidence to convince the police. I also wonder how Oldacre attained McForlane's thumb imprint? Perhaps he just asked for it, since McForlane was not in a position anyway to refuse even an odd request?
"And now, Watson, let us have a little stroll round in the sunshine.” I'm making a lot of awww-sounds while reading this story. This is just so cute. I love them going out for walks!
"Lestrade knew my friend too well to disregard his words. He laid down his pen and looked curiously at him. “What do you mean, Mr. Holmes?” “Only that there is an important witness whom you have not seen.” “Can you produce him?” “I think I can.” I'm excited! Is this where Oldacre is shown to be not dead at all? Hiding in one of those attic bedrooms, is my guess?
"Holmes stood before us with the air of a conjurer who is performing a trick." Of course Holmes can not help but be Dramatic (TM) about this. What is he going to do? Smoke the man out?
"A door suddenly flew open out of what appeared to be solid wall at the end of the corridor, and a little, wizened man darted out of it, like a rabbit out of its burrow. “Capital!” said Holmes, calmly. “Watson, a bucket of water over the straw. That will do! Lestrade, allow me to present you with your principal missing witness, Mr. Jonas Oldacre.” Can't believe I got it right! A fake door, no less. Such a fun, dramatic reveal
"It was an odious face—crafty, vicious, malignant, with shifty, light-grey eyes and white eyelashes." *Sigh* There we go with the criminal faces again
Lestrade really owes Holmes a lot this time
“And you don't want your name to appear?” “Not at all. The work is its own reward. Perhaps I shall get the credit also at some distant day when I permit my zealous historian to lay out his foolscap once more—eh, Watson?" Now this is just flirting. I approve
“There's the advantage of being a builder,” said Holmes, as we came out. “He was able to fix up his own little hiding-place without any confederate" Nice tie-up. I wonder about the other loose ends? Will the freemasonry still come up?
"I thought he had not the nerve to lie quiet before an alarm of fire. We could, of course, have gone in and taken him, but it amused me to make him reveal himself; besides, I owed you a little mystification, Lestrade, for your chaff in the morning.” And this is 100% Holmes. I love that man
"It was amusing to me to see how the detective's overbearing manner had changed suddenly to that of a child asking questions of its teacher." I adore Watson's narration here. He is just shamelessly laughing at Lestrade
"He determines to swindle his creditors, and for this purpose he pays large cheques to a certain Mr. Cornelius, who is, I imagine, himself under another name. I have not traced these cheques yet, but I have no doubt that they were banked under that name at some provincial town where Oldacre from time to time led a double existence. He intended to change his name altogether, draw this money, and vanish, starting life again elsewhere.” So that was how he intended to do it. Clever scheme.
It takes a special kind of evil to be angry at a woman for rejecting you and then, as revenge, frame her child for murder. Wow.

"You going to Stu's party?" Billy asks me.
"Yeah, the girls kinda begged me. You going?" I ask him. "Stu told me Tatum said to keep his mouth shut about it but we all know his mouth." Billy walks closer to me outside. "True and speak of the Devil," I say, as Stu comes walking out over to us.
"Oh tell Billy about, if you were a killer wanting to get away with it but people knew it was you... how would you get away?" Stu wraps an arm around me.
"I said, I would go to a big body of water and make it seem like I crashed into it and drowned. Or a boating attack, like sinking it... If the water is too deep and too open, a search team would end up quitting the search for me and just assume I was dead. Again that's just a thought if I couldn't get away with something because I'd rather not have to hide and run all the time." I explain.
"That's a good plan B in case A doesn't work out, right?" Stu gives Billy a look, smiling.
"Yeah, most people get caught on the run or are killed. Smart idea." Billy smiles.
"Well, I gotta go find your girlfriends and Dewey." I smile at them moving Stu's arm off of me. "See y'all tonight." I wave while walking off. "I thought you were picking me up? I had to walk all the way here." I say joining Tatum and Sidney at the store.
"We were gonna get you after getting the food," Tatum tells me as we walk back to the car.
"Well, all the guys were being creepy about the killer and saying who it is so I left." I laugh as Dewey shows up.
Dewey drops us off and the girls rush into the house with the food while I follow. "So I really can't drink?" I walk up to Randy.
"Nope, you gotta follow the rules." He spins me around.
"Not even one?" I pout.
"Not even a sip." He says, making me whine.
"Stu!" I snap my finger at him.
"Al!" He smiles.
"Can I have a sip of your beer?" I bat my eyes at him.
"Nope." He sits down with Tatum by him and Sidney by her.
"Why not?" I cross my arms.
"Billy and I said no drinking for you tonight." He says, making my jaw drop.
"What? When did you, Billy, and Randy become the boss of me?" I complain.
"We are just trying to keep you safe tonight." Stu grabs my hand pulling me down into his lap.
"Stop!" I whine trying to get out of his arms. I end up getting out and making them move so I can sit on the other side of him.
"How many Evil Dead's? How many Hellraisers?" Randy asks the room of people.
"The Fog, Terror Train, Prom Night. How come Jamie Lee Curtis is in all these movies?" Sidney asks, looking at them.
"She's the... Scream Queen." Randy tells her.
"With a set of lungs like that, she should be," Stu says and us girls knew what they were talking about.
Stu goes to get the door and comes back telling us Gale is here with Dewey. Everyone ends up disappearing on me so I get up to go to the kitchen.
"Hey you, no kitchen!" Stu picks me up walking me out of the room.
"I just want a glass of water. Damn, can I not drink that either?" I ask as he carries me all the way out to the living room.
"I'll get it for you myself." He messes up my hair.
"Tatum, come on!" Sidney calls out since it was time for us to leave.
"Do you know where she is?" I ask Stu.
"I haven't seen her." He tells me.
"I'll go look in the garage." I turn to leave.
"AAAH!" Billy pops ups startling Sidney and me. Billy gives Stu a look so he pulls me into his side.
"Billy. Hmm. What are you doin here?" Stu plays dumb.
"I was hoping I could talk to Sid alone." He looks at her.
"You know. If Tatum sees you here, she'll draw blood." Sidney tells him.
"Why don't you go up to my parent's room? You know, you guys can take, whatever." Stu tells them.
"Subtlety, Stu. You should look it up." Billy tells him and Sid says they can talk. Billy comes in and hits Stu, "You haven't drank, right?" Billy asks stopping Sidney for a second.
"Only one glass of water." I smile so he leaves. "Can you get me some more water please?" I wrap my arms around Stu.
"Anything for you sweetheart." He kisses the top of my head.
"What's leather face doin here?" Randy walks up to us watching Billy.
"He came to make up. Now let's go get my baby girl some more water." Stu picks me up walking us to the kitchen.
"You know I'm not surprised people think you date me at times instead of Tatum." I laugh at Stu.
"I mean we did hook up before Tate..." He gets me some water.
"I meant when you got with her." I take my water from him.
"Well because we're cute together." He leans down and I lean back. "What are you doing?" I put my hand on his chest moving him back.
"What? Don't you want this?" He chuckles.
"What?!" I laugh. "I-I mean, maybe i-i-if you weren't dating my friend." I moved away from him.
"Well, you're lucky because she broke up with me. After she got me a beer earlier and disappeared with some other guy." He tells me starting to get upset.
"She broke up with you?" I let my guard down.
"I don't know why. I get I'm a bit much at times but..." He sighs looking at the floor.
"She didn't even tell me she was going to and she tells me everything." I rub his arm.
"Sorry for trying to kiss you. I'm just hurt." He looks at me so I wrap my arms around his waist.
"I'm sorry about Tatum, Stu." I rest my head on him. He hugs me back before lifting my head to look at him. "So can I just get one kiss?" He asks, making me sigh.
"Stu, I don't th-," He cuts me off, leaning down to kiss me.
"Let's go watch the movie with the others. If we take too long, your nerd will come walking in." He walks us back and we sit with the small group to watch Halloween.
Randy ends up explaining the rules to survive a horror movie to the group since they didn't know. "I'm gonna go get a beer and no you still can't have one." Stu kisses my head getting up. "I'm gettin another beer. You want one?" Stu asks Randy.
"Yeah, sure." He tells him.
"I'll be right back!" Stu yells backing out of the room.
"You push the law and you end up dead. See you in the kitchen with a knife." Randy tells him.
After more time passes a few leave while a few stay to keep watching the movie. The phone ends up ringing and Randy tells the guys about our principal who was found dead at our football field.
"Come on! Where you guys goin?" He falls back onto the couch as the last of the guys rush out to see.
"You need some water. Randy." I leave to get him a glass of water.
I wanted a beer so badly so I slowly walked over to the door to sneak me a beer. As soon as I walk out of the door it slams behind me, locking me out. "What the hell! Hello!" I bang on the door but nothing. I turn to go out the garage door. I see Tatum dead stuck in the cat/dog door. I stare at her frozen for a few seconds before screaming and running away.
As I was running in the grass I hear Sidney scream and see her fall from the roof. "Sid!" I run back to her and scare her as she sees Tatum. "We have to go. Come on!" I drag her so we can runoff.
We get to the news van and climb in to see the killer behind Randy on the tv. "Randy!" I cry watching him. The guy opens the door getting out and tells us there's a 30-second delay. He turns around again and gets his throat cut so we close the door. "Go, Sid." I shove her to crawl through first.
As I start to crawl the door opens and the killer grabs me. "Allison!" Sidney yells.
"Just go!" I scream getting pulled back and fighting with the guy getting stabbed in the shoulder and cut up a few times. "Fuck you." I kick at him and he groans. The killer grabs my head, hitting it against the floor as I try to get away. He ends up knocking me out and I feel my body picked up and carried.

🎶I AM COPEING
COPING AND SETHING
I CANNOT BELIEVE THE SHIT I AM SEEING
I AM COPEING I AM SEEEETHIIINNG-🎶
Tumblr media
Na but fr this book had gaven me more questions then answers,head's up there's gonna be A LOT OF SPOILERS I'm gonna talk about so bewere on that
_______________________________________________
Tumblr media
SO sadly this whole book isn't fully a backstory book and it leads more questions then answers
__________________________________________
NEW WIZARD ENTERS THE CHAT
Tumblr media
_______________________________________________
Tumblr media
Darkwell now described in this picture, from my understanding after reading has an untrustworthy mouth due to some actions we see him do in the book,now the reason I bring this fucker up is because he's the main reason of my coping and seething (the second being the lack of slappy's siblings being mentioned)) because HE'S THE BITCH THAT ACTUALLY MADE SLAPPY Wich begs A LOT OF FUCKING QUESTIONS now this takes place during 200 years ago in Europe doesn't say we're so I'm gonna safely assume Salem??? But the question about Franz and kanduu especially after there part in the new goosebumps show is what's up with that why were they mentioned in slappy and mr.wood's life dose that implay different wizards and witches made and or created them or what??Oh did I mention that darkwell has a nephew? No? Well it's because kid is not even real??? But he also can bleed??? He has wires and tubes but not even he knew about not being a doll poor kid was attacked, ridiculed and the towns people thought they could be CPS and take the kid away from darkwell, after making slappy darkwell just booked it and left when the towns people tired to burn him down he didn't want Isaac anymore Wich even they were shocked about before learning the kid isn't even a real boy,Wich is quite sad really because the kid definitely deserves better he was only 12 after all.
_______________________________________________
Miss.rabbit has fainted
Tumblr media
See that 👆 that's slappy,no really it is you can't give him a redemption ark enless it's sacrifice,in the book darkwell said he lied to slappy about it because he wanted to take revenge but I highly doubt that was even a case to begin with,not after what he did with Isaac plus he didn't prove nor shown anything to the reader that he's being for real on it, it gets worse that slappy somehow juked him if he made slappy he should know slappy's tricks meaning that it just seems like some other wizards or someone is complaining about slappy so he tried to deal with it but failed miserably because he just didn't give to fucks and wants to be left Alone or at least that's how I seen it. Now from this understanding I do find it quite funny/sad if slappy can't be good even if he wanted to because if he doesn't do evil he gets put to sleep even if he dose a good deed it's like that miss rabbit has fallen joke(Wich I may do if I have the time 🤭)
_______________________________________________
MR.WOOD COMEBACK?
Tumblr media
So yyyyeah there is 0 explanation about slappy's siblings and I'm not even sure what's up with mr.wood especially how the fandom is split with this piece of shit,some believe he's Wally some believe he and wally are separated characters if counted correctly if there separate it be 5 of them if not 4 now i know there's gonna be people saying"oh there's evidence" what evidence?? How can we be so sure we can count that if stine can't even keep slappy's orgains in straight and just adding questions? Stine was the Scott coathen before Scott was even a thing BUT besides that! The reason why I mentioned this is quite interesting to me 🤔
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I made a drawing to the best of my abilities about the slappy bewere mr.wood next to the official artwork of Mr.wood in slappy bewere this puppet went by "Mister" wood instead of Mr.wood, Wich again rather odd
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is the highlighted parts of the description, during this section of the story slappy not only tried to fit in with this toy brand to scare kids it was an easy suit due to Mister wood being wildly popular,Wich also adds the question is it the mr.wood that we knew grew popular to get a branding of himself??because I could have sworn I seen someone mention he perhaps DID become a bigshot but what an odd detail to add with glasses it didn't tell us about his nose nor eyes it's just only those details,all I know slappy did bring these toys to life but it's quiet and oddity to bring in still it's already wild enough that he was referenced but not Goldie nor snappy whom was told in the slappyworld series that they were made side by side with him or made earlier or before him we do know kanduu had a part to play in his life with mr.wood so dose that implay that slappy was gaven to Franz?? Did darkwell knew Franz?? Send your opinions in all this in the comments or something 🤷‍♀️
______________________________________________
There's no room for more photos but we got spells n shit ✨yippee✨
So yeah we got new spells if someone broke the code with the og I'm sure one of y'all have more of a bigger brain then me
Lambda Osiris karamubder dominus malado venn is a LONG ASS SPELL JFC but the spell keeps people frozen in place playing there WORST fears now this one seems more simple,amapo amapi amapo golrah golreeh amapo Wich is a spell that you chant that brings non living things to life or at least that is what is displayed for all we know this can bring back the dead if he wanted to.
______________________________________________
🎶you are copeing, COPEING and SEETHING, you don't believe what you are seeing, you are copeing you are seeeethiiinng-🎶
I'm sorry but that's the best way I can describe the last story, turned out slappy's biggest weekness is himbos or people who gives 0 fucks or are complete airheaded those are the 3 horsemen who can truly defeat slappy(not really but slappy is REALLY copeing with this) because Everytime he tried to ruin something the Carlton family laughs it off and also bless Bryce's heart they were just unconditionally sweet tords slappy sure kids parents were sorta weirded out by it but it was harmless after all due to them thinking slappy is not really alive kid gave him a bowl of soup let him have his air pods to listen to music hell kid even puts slappy to bed with him,slappy obviously couldn't give to shits about the kid but I find it rather cute I don't think I seen any kid with slappy that passionate and kind tords him before finding out he's a pice of a wooden splinter dispite slappy's failed pranks one of them that even surprised me that slappy put a spider in someone's coffee AND THEY DRANKED IT WITHOUT RELIZNG SAYING THE BREW WAS "LUMPY" JFC- IM SORRY F U C K DAT- but besides that slappy genuinely thought he'd be knocked out for good if he doesn't do any good evil deeds in time so he was having a panic at the disco,this was during the time darkwell tried to "dystroy" slappy even though he flat out "lied" to him(and i say "lie" from what i mentioned before)
__________________________________________
Questions, somewhat answers?
So what we know now that darkwell made slappy question goes what is up with his siblings then? Mr.wood was referenced and his siblings Goldie and snappy are nowhere to be found especially add ons with Franz and kanduu like what's there deal now?? The only answer we ever got was a possible confirmed Creator of slappy but I can't say the same for the rest due to the possibility slappy's siblings were made by different people it seems??? I don't know so uh yeah thanks for hearing my shitty review and opinions on slappy beware 😔🖐️✨

Hello Puts, how are you?
Thanks always for your hard work.
Here's my question: what do you think of Hikaru's current solo career?
Tumblr media
Hello there!
I am okay, a little busy but nothing I can't handle.
Phew, that's a loaded question. I have quite a few thoughts about Hikaru's current situation but most of them are rather negative so I am a little hesitant to share them. But oh well, here goes nothing...
Fair warning though, this is probably gonna sound like a rant, there's just a lot of pent-up frustration within me🙈
Right off the bat I wanna start with something positive before we get to the nasty stuff. I am a big fan of Hikaru's collabs with members of C.C.C. So glad Takeshi Kato (= SPICE guy) brought her onboard. As far as I am concerned, her stage play appearances are some of the best work she has done in recent times. You can tell that she is having fun and everyone seems to have welcomed her with open arms. When she is interacting with her cast-mates, it's like she transforms into a totally different person, she is happy and carefree, no sign of her reserved and quiet self. I also appreciate that HaKA (Kenichiro Hakariya = head of C.C.C.) continues to write solid tracks for Hikaru, so far he has done all of her freelance solo work, I am guessing her newest song "Flow" (debuted during her birthday broadcast) is also by him. Hopefully they will invite Hikaru to join another play in the future, one with a lot of music just like "Ambient Border".
In a similar vein, I very am happy to see that Keiko is taking Hikaru under her wing a little, I think that helps her get some much needed exposure.
Now that that's out of the way, let's address the elephant in the room: Music Champ. There are really no words that can convey how much I hate the fact that Hikaru has chosen a nondescript app as her main platform for almost all private and work-related interactions. I use the word hate very sparingly when it comes to anything Kalafina-related but in this case, nothing else seems fitting. In my opinion, relying solely on this stupid "Music Champ" app really cheapens her status as a serious artist. She might as well be using OnlyF@ns at this point¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The whole purpose of this streaming app is to level up a handful of wannabe idols by throwing "items" at them (which is achieved by viewers purchasing coins in the app). I can't believe that a large portion of each broadcast is wasted on those silly level-up campaigns or "item-times" which have literally no added value. Just a bunch of people sending items and Hikaru reacting to it. Not exactly my idea of fun. And really, you pretty much just finance a shady app, I bet only a fraction of the revenue goes to Hikaru herself. Everyone here knows that I am the biggest advocate of supporting your favourite artists but even I have to draw the line somewhere. I honestly don't trust weird apps that no one uses and on principle, I refuse to feed into this kind of activity ¬_¬
Another thing that really bothers me about the app is more of a me-problem but I'd still like to point it out. It's the fact that I cannot record any of the live streams. Yeah, I know, as a fan I am by no means entitled to a recording, this is complaining on a high level but it bugs me. I am aware of course that this feature might very well be one of the main reasons why Hikaru favours this platform over others but for some reason, that makes it even more annoying. Especially since the timing of her regular broadcasts is not exactly foreigner-friendly (at least not for my time-zone) so I can almost never watch her stuff live. I don't think I've been able to watch any of her more recent Wednesday lives and that sucks.
On a side note, is it just me or does this app consume a ton of RAM and drain the battery way too quickly ? Whenever I watch the broadcasts, I am having some major issues with my smartphone even though I have a relatively new iPhone. Within a few minutes, my phone will overheat and sometimes the app will even crash. Does anyone else experience similar problems or is it really just an issue with my phone?
All right, rant over. There is really not much else to say. Hopefully this didn't turn out too bad, it wasn't my intention to bash Hikaru or anything. I am just sad that she has chosen a path that I am not willing to follow. A lot of her loyal fans seem to be happy to support her on the app though so I am glad she has that backup at least.

I will block you if you are minor and have no easily visible indication of your age on your blog if you interact with me in any way.
More inspiration from that Inside Seventeen video with the maknae line that I mentioned in my Dino post.
Okay but, imagine Awkward dad! Vernon trying his best with your son. He's entering the toddler stage which has caused a tonne of mixed emotions for both of you and, new hurdles as well. Now, Vernon loves your son with his whole heart but, understandably, these changes aren't easy for either of you. However, you can't help the warmth that floods your system when you watch him hover over your son as he walks, still rather unsteady on his little feet. You two have been extremely lucky though because despite all the changes that come with entering a new stage, your son is a happy little baby. Giggling at your husband when he eventually falls, Vernon picking him up to make sure he didn't hurt himself, a concerned expression painting his usually handsome face. You can't help but, smile at your husband's actions and, leave the room to let your favourite people interact with one another.
"I think we should try for another one," Vernon says, moreso whispers actually, to you once you two have settled in your bed for the night. Your son fast asleep giving you two time to spend together, your fingers interlocked over your stomach as Vernon spoons you from behind. You're surprised but, mostly confused by his words, "Try for another what?" You ask, shifting slightly to look at him inquisitively over your shoulder. To your surprise, your husband's cheeks are flushed and he's struggling to meet your gaze. Cute. Even after years of dating, marriage and having a child together, he would still get so, so shy and, you couldn't help but find it extremely adorable. "Another baby," he finally manages to mutter out, his eyes tentatively meeting yours while his fingers grip your own a little tighter. Oh. Another baby. You're quite taken aback by his broaching of this topic, if you're being completely honest. While you both knew that you wanted children, expanding your family hadn't really been a talking point in recent times with your son keeping you increasingly busy. You slowly turn in his arms to face your husband properly, wrapping an arm around him and rubbing his back to attempt to soothe his nerves from the minor bombshell he'd just dropped. "What brought this on?" You ask more curious than anything else. You feel his body relax marginally under your ministrations, his hand reaching out to eventually rest on your hip gently. He steels himself before finally finding the courage to speak, drawing random patterns on your hip with his fingertips, "I just- I just think that a new addition to our family would be welcome. Plus, y/s/n would get lonely, right? I think giving him a sibling would be a good idea too," he finally manages to get out. He's still studiously avoiding making direct eye contact with you and, the blush painting his cheeks is heading steadily into red territory. Before Vernon is able to blink, you've pushed him flat on his back and, straddled him. Your husband looks up at you in surprise, eyes wide while his hands instinctively fly to rest on your thighs. Taking him by surprise once again, you lean down to press a rather hard kiss to his lips, your fingernails digging into his chest lightly, leaving faint pink marks in their wake. "You're so fucking cute, you know that?" You utter against his lips once you eventually pull away, looking down at him through lidded eyes. Vernon was so confused. He's not exactly complaining, feeling his cock starting to harden and press against you but, he very much was taken aback. His confusion must be evident on his face because you say, "I mean, you're the one who suggested having another baby. I'm just jump starting the process. Plus, when you get all cute and shy like this, you know what it makes me want to do to you." You can't help the smirk that spreads across your face as you press down against his hardened cock and, your pretty babyboy whines in response, tightening his grip on your plush thighs.

five good things
Because I really really need one of these today. Been a Day, for no particular reason (well, I've had to go in to work today when I don't usually work Fridays, having had Monday off to compensate, and now this weekend is looking short as fuck, yes I know this is a ridiculous problem and I should stop being such a wuss but I'm thoroughly out of the habit of having to Do Things on Fridays let alone be a Grown-Up about it...) so I am grumpy and tired and in need of cheering up...
The utterly legendary Ray Zell is following me on Instagram! *flails* I found his account the other day and followed, and he followed me back, I just discovered!! (He is a cartoonist and all-round rock n' roll legend who has been drawing the extremely kick-ass Pandora Peroxide, and later her niece Pandora, for the UK metal magazine Kerrang! for nearly 40 years, and I swear to god, PP was a huge influence on me in my formative years, I ADORE her. He also used to hang around with a lot of the bands I love, including Hanoi Rocks, and still occasionally draws my absolute hero Michael Monroe, and I absolutely idolise him) I'm going to have to think of something to post, since the last time I posted was Michael Monroe's 60th birthday gig in Helsinki this time last year XD
The reason I was working today was because we were having a special open day for county councillors and council employees at job number 1 - we are the archive service for the county and for the council, and we have been keeping a low profile for years because if we made a fuss about ourselves it was highly likely the powers that be were going to notice us and start wondering why they were spending money on us, but we are in a rather better position now, and so we've had this little jamboree to invite people over to see who we are and what we do (we are across town from the main council offices so most of them have no idea we even exist). So because I and my work wife Helen have done the most work on the council's own archive over the years, we got nobbled to sort out a display of relevant documents, come in on the day we don't usually work, talk to people, etc etc etc...and it went really well! The document display went over really well (we got out all sorts of random stuff showing the breadth of things the county council does, and the breadth of things we do and what we look after) and everyone was really interested. So it was worth hauling myself out of bed this morning. XD As much as I complain about it, I do actually quite enjoy showing people what we do and why we're so incredibly awesome, so...yeah. Just...my introvert-batteries are completely drained now. :D
Last Cat Standing is still doing really well, considering his overactive thyroid. His vet has left the practice we've been taking him to since he was a baby kitten (when he developed the thyroid issue we decided to have him only see one vet because having him passed round whoever happened to be on duty at our huge practice wasn't conducive to good treatment, and it didn't work for Faerie, our very lovely girl who we lost first, at the end of 2020), and we're almost certainly going to jump ship and follow her to her new place as it's still within reach and she's absolutely lovely and understands him so well. We sent her flowers for her last day and she sent us a really lovely text to say thank you so...yeah. Can't quite imagine taking him to see anyone else so I think we'll be heading to her new place.
I am in the pub with a very nice G&T and doing a little bit of writing, mostly working on my Innumerable Stars assignment (nearly done oh god) and a prompt the lovely @scary-grace sent me yesterday :D :D :D
There is a very distinct prospect that I might be able to get my original bike, my much-beloved and in-a-million-bits Kawasaki ZXR-400, rebuilt and restored - our friend who works behind the bar at t'pub is married to a guy who a) is a mechanic and b) adores ZXR400s, having had one himself in his younger days. We've been talking about the two of them coming over one weekend and digging it all out of the garage so that her fella and my missus can sort it out while she and I sit on the sofa and drink prosecco till we pass out, and we've not managed to sort it out so far because she's always been working weekends, but hopefully we'll be able to get it done soon. I am so excited, I can't even begin to tell you, I bloody LOVE that bike. I only got a new one because he had serious engine trouble that I didn't have the money to sort out and I could get finance on a spanky-brand-new bike that wouldn't break down on me at random intervals, and that bike was all wrong for me so I was off the road for six years until I got my current bike...anyway, this little fella was absolutely my first love, and I am so very excited at the thought of getting him back! (very entertainingly I had a marketing email from Triumph earlier, suggesting I "find my one and only with the Bonneville Bobber", which made me laugh, because I did exactly that SIX YEARS AGO XDDDD )
Right. Usually I come up with more than five but I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel a bit tonight so five will have to do.
As always, if you see this and think that posting about five (or more) good things might do you good, please feel free to take the idea and run with it! The daily delight thing took off, it would be lovely if this could too.

Hi.
This is a rambling post because i'm sick. Somehow turned into a post about my history about art. Kinda spent too much time on this that i don't really wanna delete this now. Oh well.
More below.
Yeah okay. You might think why i'm rambling in an art blog. It's because english isn't my native language and i kinda think differently with english. I've complained enough on plurk with chinese today so, uh, i'm here now lol.
I am so sick right now i don't even know if it's food poisoning or normal cough / fever. Anyway, i stared at a blank canvas in csp for >4 hours and cannot even do anything because of all the migraines i have.
The pain kinda took away the little inspiration and creativity i had, even though i have like a full idea list with detailed and concrete comic plot attached to almost every single item on the list.
So i'm gonna post the second hound i've ever drawn, probably because i have just lost the capability to make proper decisions. Also being sick and cannot physically do anything made my mind flew to who knows where.
Tumblr media
2022/02/12
I mean, it kinda sucks. I know i also didn't achieve anything important now but oh man.
You know, it's kinda a miracle why i'm here doing art stuff almost every single day, and why this piece is in my phone in the first place. If you've seen my stuff a lot (for whatever reason) you might already know i...don't like myself very much. Not until recently when i'm reading a book did i realize i'm a perfectionist type of person. Like, i don't like failure, i don't like being...not able to do stuff. When i try something i think i can achieve and realize that i actually just...don't have the ability to do the stuff to my standards, i'd very likely just quit.
I was not capable of drawing anything. You might be thinking "oh no art is not about being capable or making masterpiece first try it's for fun you can do whatever." I kinda got it, like i understand the point this sentence is trying to convey, but my brain just...doesn't work like that. I think perfectionist is just an inherent bad habit of mine. Especially that i've been lurking on social media watching actual masterpiece level of fanart (at least to me) since i was like, 12. My taste of art and what i perceive as "good" did not match my ability to draw, and very likely never will.
It's basically a death sentence, because if you can't really achieve something to your standards then why do you even try? I mean, objectively speaking it's very illogical to say that and you can probably deduce a lot of contradictions from that, maybe like "masters were once a noob too they weren't born with all the skills they have" or something like that. But that's why i said i'm a perfectionist and it's my inherent bad habit. My brain just defaults to...whatever illogical thinking i said. Until that piece of Bloodhound i've already tried to draw many characters years before, but those attempts just...never last.
But that time, when i tried to draw Bloodhound, i recalled an advice that you should put all your work on the internet. Just, literally all of them, no matter how bad it was. It kinda makes sense to me actually. To keep the progress for future inspections; to give myself a pressure to draw something every day; to put what i was thinking into words, knowing that i will forget all the struggle i had once i became good enough (if that ever happens).
So i made a new plurk account. Nice platform, only taiwanese use that, very little people, even less will see my art months into the cause so that's nice for an introvert like me. But the pressure i gave myself to post everyday is very real, and i despise my art every single day. Old habits die hard, even for now.
Everything kinda flows natually after i got into the habit of posting things everyday. I must stress that this habit itself is a miracle. I'm an introvert that can't really talk with strangers, let alone shouting out loud (i.e., posting) on the internet. Anyway, this changed things. I started to actually draw, like, almost every day. There's never anything i did in my life that i actually made into a habit, or, uh, just generally do everyday without much obstacles in my heart. I usually just play games after school and watch youtube and daydream about all kinds of plot about the game, that'd be all i do.
I can get through a lot of details about the progress thanks to the post i was making, but to put it simply: i think i'm trash at making art, and my art is also trash, so i tried to learn things to make it…less trash. Most art post i've done i wrote about what i tried and what i've learned. Not actual research and book reading, just a bit of observation i made to make my hound look better.
At roughly 2023/2 i saw a post about learning art in 100 days. Ignoring all the thoughts thinking i was trash and achieved way less in a year, i actually started borrowing books about art. Spent like 2 months on stonehouse's anatomy, also a bit on perspective. I'm kinda a nerd so i'm completely fine with the biology and perspective related math (like most properties are 10 seconds easy proof after all). But the memorizing part of anatomy and the intuition part of perspective i'm still trying to get familiar with. Well that all comes down to practice and practice and more practice, which i do way less than i should to be honest.
At 2023/7 i made this account. That time i just got into destiny 2. Fun fact, that banner of cayde + bloodhound + omen was made in ~2023/6 and i didn't even know which games cayde and omen are from until i actually look it up.
And…yeah. This post kinda turns into my history of drawing but this is it. Still learning, still making my daydreams into art. i think the only thing that changed this year is that i kinda enjoy my own art now. I still think some of them are bad, especially as the art gets older, but it's not completely unbearable now. Like, i often go back to some old posts and think "oh yeah i drew this idea, still hilarious to me lol." Crazy, huh?
Okay i'm tired. I think this should have some kind of ending or conclusion...
Yeah, so why it's a miracle i'm here? I started to make art, i kinda made it a habit, i posted about my art even if i'm an introvert irl, i look down upon my own art because i'm a perfectionist, i still make art despite of that, i post enough stuff on the internet before and i plucked up my courage to post on english platforms (i.e., tumblr), and i'm still making art till this day.
I didn't meant it as some kind of art learning advice because you shouldn't even listen to me in that case. It's just me mesmerized by how i even ended up here. Tend to do that when i'm sick on bed doing nothing.
C'est la vie, am i right?

Hello Void.
I'm back again.
I do not wish to bother you with my complaints of life or struggle again, old friend.
But there is something on my mind, something I cannot escape.
Will I ever be happy? Will work ever feel like a joy? Will my life feel meaningful?
of course Void, I know your tone. "Create for your sake, don't atone".
But Void.. don't you see? When I make things, I wish for others to see!
I want countless people to sit and to praise my work, to find love and meaning in my words and pictures, to inspire and influence, to breathe life and love into the world!
and yet.. when they look upon my work, when they stare deep into my soul as i stand upon the naked stage.. why do I feel so.. alone?
Why do I hate the attention if I crave it so? Don't you see Void? my life is a mess!
If i make things, I feel anxious and under duress.
If I quit.. If i escape the countless eyes upon me, I feel alone and cold.. and without a reason to continue.
I wish to be a star, but I would vanish upon the first night I lay in the sky.
Don't you see.. Void, you are not I.
I want to inspire and generate joy.
but this world is ROTTEN and I can't help but feel like a broken toy.
I can't walk well void.. I can't dance anymore.. I lay in bed upon days as my family assures.. "You're just lazy" they say, "Get out of bed" I tell them I have issues and yet they pretend they don't hear what I've said..
I don't have the drive.. the OOMPH, the FLASH! the thing everyone seems to have.. I don't have the energy to keep lugging my soul around.. oh Void.. why wont you let me drown?
I don't wish to be here!! Not anymore! If I succeed or fail, IM ALWAYS THE FLAW!
If I shine bright, I'll be hated, even when loved!
If I fade, I'll be cold and useless from above!
I don't see the purpose... "life is hard" they say. Well I didn't sign up for this place.. so WHY SHOULD I STAY!?
If life is so hard, then let me QUIT. I didn't sign up for this horrible shit.
I didn't sign up to be bullied for my skin, I didn't sign up to be beaten by my kin! So WHY should I stay? If my work means naught
If I barely brushed a dozen souls, why stay? why fight?
I've been doing this for half a dozen years now Void.. and yet I'm still down.. im not happy.. or bright..
So much work.. so much fight.. if I keep going.. I'll break.. if I stop.. if I rest.. my mind will sink into the abyss..
SO WHATS THE POINT OF THIS POEM!? WHATS THE POINT OF THIS LIFE!?
IF I WIN OR LOSE, IM BEING STABBED WITH A KNIFE!
If I succeed and create! If I am BORN to be a star! Then why do I hate it so.. when people judge me from afar..?
If I fail.. and fade, I feel too cold.. I feel like stone.. sitting alone..
so what's the answer... "oh just do what you like"
but what if.. nothing.. is to my taste, void...
what if I do not enjoy drawing or writing or being alive? What if the pain i feel.. is because im simply alive?
This poem.. is too long.. and no one will read it..
I know Void.. I know I should beat it.. I should stop complaining, stop saying my woes
no one cares
and that's.. okay, in a way.
Not to me, I feel abandoned by humanity.
But to others.. who'll forget this poem in minutes.. in hours.. in days...
and soon.. the pain.. the light I once shone.. will be forgotten, like an old blaze..
And maybe that's okay.. for others I mean.. because they wont have to keep up with my countless schemes.. my ideas that fail.. my countless complaints..
they have their own lives
their own voids
their own ideas of escape..
So I leave you with this.. anyone who reads.. Goodbye, I think.. maybe.. who knows..
for if I quit now.. and tell you I will never return.. that would be a lie
because this poem has said, again and again.. that when i give up.. i feel like collapsing in...
and when i work.. to create something new? I feel a fraud.. I feel obtuse.. I feel so weak, my hands can't reach the pen.. so even if I wanted to create something.. It'll never happen.. not now or then..
I know Void.. you're tired of my words
tired of my countless repeating complaints
so I shall leave.. and maybe return..
or maybe not.. maybe rest in an urn..
do not worry, old friend.
for one day, maybe soon.
I'll join you...

Hi hi its the curious anon again from the jade and azul ask !!,HEHR PLEASE DONT APOLOGIZE FOR THE LENGTHY,I love reading long posts so I enjoyed it very much and I loved reading it!!,you honestly had me going /YES YEA THIS/ the whole way through 😂 and if you wanna go off about their designs plea please do!! 🥺,
I dont have too many thoughts to share /myself/ however except maybe a silly one thats a lil shippy on how floyd would call is s/o their actual name and flipflop between the sea animal nickname and actual name cause of the theory that he usually calls those he respects/are close to their names n so on-
HII CURIOUS ANON, I'm glad you liked my lenghty thoughts on them! since you've given me the go ahead, I'll take up your offer and talk a bit about their Dorm Uniform designs! (I didn't include Azul's overblot or any other clothes to focus on these especific ones, but perhaps another time!)
oh, before I start, yes I agree with that! I believe you're refering to this post regarding Floyd's nicknames, and I agree with it! like he does with Azul and Jade, the people he's truly close with and respects he would call by their actual name, not one of his nicknames. although I'm very attached to shrimpy as I find it very cute and I'd kind of miss it if he dropped it altogether, so I like the idea of him varying between it and his S/O's name!
fun fact: I like to draw occasionally, so character design is something I have a lot of interest in!
now, let's get this started, yes?
I feel like my thoughts go along with the general consensus of their designs, but sometimes even the obvious should be stated, so I'll say everything in my mind!
AZUL
I have a confession to make. I'm easily attracted by anime characters with white hair. I KNOOOOW IT'S SUCH A COMMON TROPE AND I FALL FOR IT EVERYTIME, HOOK, LINE AND SINKER. so him having his gray-ish hair color is already a positive point in my books. differently from Ursula, his hair is not wild and free, but rather very well kept, tamed and wavy! (and difficult to draw, lmao. the notes in the 2020 visual book make a comment on how it's important to make an outline before drawing it, or else the right side can come out too big)
even with it's difficulty, I think the little strand that's just a tad longer and curls following his face, reminiscing of a tentacle, is just so charming, it's a nice little detail that makes all the difference! another thing you can't really see it's that he has AN UNDERCUT!! WHICH IS SO COOL!! I miss the time I used to have an undercut too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the choice of giving him glasses but not the twins is a bit ironic, since octopi don't have much of a bad vision at all, meanwhile eels are almost blind. (I think they use contact lenses. just imagine Floyd forgetting his and he can't see anything and he's just. confused.) I think it's most likely to make him fit even more in the stereotypical "smart and cunning anime character" profile. it miiight have been a reference to the darker shade around Ursula's eyes, but I honestly doubt it. they do fit quite nicely, so I'm not complaining at all!
one thing I like about his eyebrows are how expressive they are, which brings Ursula's eyebrows to mind! they seem to have very similar expressions in that sense, as the drawing of him with a mean grin and arched eyebrows is reminiscent of Ursula's expression! his eyes aren't half lidded like hers tho, a difference that pops out very clearly if you compare both pics of them looking straight ahead while smiling. Ursula's seem more menacing, as if she's up to no good, while Azul's is more polite.
I loooove the mole near his mouth, mirroring Ursula's, it's so charming!! and I don't know if you've ever stared at his lips before but. look. they are very glossy and they SHINE, his mouth looks amazing, he might not pass on Ursula's birght red lipstick but he DEFINETLY has lip balm at least

now let's look at his drip. Octavinelle's dorm uniform makes an homage to the Sea Witch's elegant style, using a stylish combination of suits in more neutral tones, either in black and white or in shades of purple and gray, making a reference for her lavander skin tone and purple tentacles.
look I'm gonna be honest. I don't know what's up with the fedora. the iconic shell is a nice touch, but why must he wear a fedora? he could look professional and mature without it!! I am. not the biggest fan of hats. AND HIS HAIR LOOKS SO PRETTY WHY MUST HE HIDE IT
the bowtie I think it's a bit silly, but that might be because it's not common at all here where I live. I've only seen normal ties, so for me it might have looked better with one (not in this purple shade tho, maybe in a more muted tone of it. I do like the contrast of color against the white). I also don't see much what's the point of the grey scarf but it does help him look fancy, though the Octavinelle crest on it makes it look a bit like Harry Potter merch
as he's the housewarden, he gets a special long coat that does make him look a bit like a mafia boss, especially because he's not actually wearing it, only having it drapped over his shoulders. (or perhaps it's the bowtie. was that why it was there all along!?) and the white gloves? it's very snazzy and suspicious at the same time, but I can see the elegance of hiding your hands as if you're a victorian maiden hiding your ankles and shoulders to preserve your modesty.
the cane is SO COOL. I don't think he uses it for anything other than looking intimidating but's it's so cool. maybe it helped him to get used to walking with only two legs (adapting from eight to two must have been hard) when he started his first year and he's kept it. his shoes are pretty normal, expected even, BUT WHY ARE HIS SOCKS NEON PURPLE. I know it's to match his silly mafioso bow tie BUT WHY.
JADE
I'll start with things that will apply to Floyd as well, but I only want to say it once
Flotsam and Jetsam are... not the prettiest around. I'd say they are very far from it, even. Which only surprises me more that the twins look SO GOOD when they were based off of this??
as a reference to the moray eels, Ursula's beloved pets and minions, the twin's hair follow their color scheme, teal in it's majority with a dark gray stripe, and each have one yellow eye that helps to differentiate from which eel they were inspired by. their merman forms also make reference to them, as their tails are quite similar and they have fins and gills, which is not something the merman in the Little Mermaid used to have.
thankfully, for everyone's happiness, their physical similarities end there.

JADE TIME!! I have another confession to make: I also love character's with hair that has more than one color. I'M NOT TOO HARD TO PLEASE ALRIGHT!
Jade's hair is very unusual and at first glance might even look strange, a mix of color and shapes in an already complicated design. I think it plays along well with him, the little J shaped strand of hair hugs his face and calls attention to it, breaking the monotony from his otherwise short hair and balancing it's color out. the way his side bang is cut in such an angular and sharp way gives it such a nice shape, and I like how his hair is well kept and brushed! (differently from Azul's, his hair is a pleasure to draw, as I sometimes find myself doodling it at the corner of my books, absentmindedly)
THE SHAPE OF HIS EYEBROWS !!! they also feel quite angular and pointed, different from Floyd's, which compliment his eye shape very well. AND HIS EYES?? I could look into then all day. the way they are sharp and pass the feeling of his witty personality, they are angled upwards and give him an alluring sense, his upper lashes are fuller and give a cutting look to his eyes, the little eyebags (?) under them breaking the lightness of his skin and adding some color around them, even his eyelid fold helps to create such a charming gaze. I LOVE THE HETEROCHROMIA!! they aren't wildly constrasting, like I commonly see, but rather a duller tone of the other, which is how it usually happens in real life! such a polite look and by it's shape alone you can tell there's something behind it, something sharp enough to almost break the surface.
even his nose differs from Floyd's, as it feels a little softer and round ended, less curved and more of a straight line. I love these little spot the differences games, while they might seem like such minor details, they come along to create a bigger picture that differentiates the twins and each is their own person very well, not only with their body language but also by their appearence!!
OH AND HIS LIPS. I know I know it's the art style but still. the way his bottom lip is so full and shiny?? the way the corners of his mouth curl upwards just so. the carefully constructed politeness. how he rarely shows his teeth to keep the more harmless appearence, only letting them be seen if he's trying to intimidate someone or if he's actually happy. the dangers of his sharp teeth hiding like a shark under the waves !!!!!!
AND JADE'S EARRING! like on Floyd, it's such a dynamic little shape and gives them a bit of a more approachable look? and then you discover how they even got it in the first place LMAOOO. wait, let me give some context: on Usrula's spell, she says "Beluga Sevruga, Come winds of the Caspian Sea!" what does that mean? beluga is a variety of caviar (and of the more expensive ones), and it's harvested from the Sevruga sturgeon, native from the Caspian Sea. the story of how the twins got those earrings is that they won a fight against a sturgeon and kept the scales as a prize, so really even their cute little silly earrings are indicative of how dangerous they can be and how they like to flaunt that around LOL. in story they are also mentioned to be known as a good luck charm, due to being a popular ingredient in the Sea Witch's potions. it's such a nice reference! and it also implies the twins might have a bit of a supersticious side to them, which is so interesting.
the merman form is so cool too! as mentioned, I really like how they use more elements of moray eels and lets them have a more fish-like look. the stripes are elegant and a nice detail that brings these aspects from the eels, not to mention his body is literally luminiscent! like! he glows underwater!! how cool is that?? the fins in place of ears are cute, and the webbed hand makes a lot of sense! the tail adding lenght to them and making them twice their human size is a nice way of making them grow without distorting their proportions. (just why. why must he have abs. eel abs. it was a whole jumpscare the first time I saw them.)
Tumblr media
I'm. gonna sound a bit hypocritical now. but! I think the hat looks nice on Jade. HEAR ME OUT! I'm still not the biggest fan of hats, but Jade's is not like Azul's, it has a wider, less square box like, shape, the shell is hidden as to not overdo with the details and leave it as a more discreet one, and the way it's drapped on his head, following his bangs and the linearity of his longer stripe, gives such a fluidity to the whole thing and manages to make him look suave!
also, one thing about him is how he's always prim and proper, tucked in neatly in any formal suit and showing his diligence. there's something about people who are always so covered up and formal looking. the profissionalism... the maturity... the sense he's above you... the clothes make the man...
ANYWAYS. I like that the shade of the regular uniform is a lavander that goes easy on the eyes (housewarden's neon purple, take notes), it gives a classy feel and goes along great with the general color scheme! I hope they are careful on laundry day to wash those separatedly from the white uniforms.
again with the little bow tie. the white manages to compliment his gloves and the pocket square very well, but it stills looks a bit silly to me. I'm sorry, but here where I live the only people I've seen using those are clowns, literally (look up Patati e Patatá. it's Jade and Floyd).
he thankfully doesn't show his socks, but his shoes have white details on them that I feel that kind of break the sleekness of the whole. I know it would be way too monocromatic otherwise, but I don't think it'd be necessarily a bad thing, especially since they have no problem in doing it with his other designs. with the ones he has on, it looks like he's about to start tap dancing at any minute.
still, Jade is slaying
FLOYD
as I've already discussed some of his design aspects in Jade's part, I'll go over only what I see as unique to him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
his hair is messier than Jade's, wilder and spikier, and it kind of looks like he doesn't brush it in the mornings, but that's part of his charm, this unkept look! the F shaped longer strand seems a bit fuller than Jade's as well.
his eyebrows are higher and less sharp than Jade's, angled downwards and following his eye shape that makes him look sleepy or bored more often, less atent than Jade, and exposes his double eyelid better. his eyes are more expressive, oftentimes curving in excitement or with his pupils contracting when angry.
the shape of his nose is pointy, sharper and slightly more curved. ONE THING I REALLY LIKE: his mouth. Floyd is always showing his emotions, and it's delightful to look at his jagged teeth as he smiles openly! even when he's not emoting so drastically you can still catch a glimpse of them!
the thing is that while they have their differences, the twins designs are very similar, as they really separate from each other in their personalities.
Tumblr media
the hat also looks better on him than on Azul (sorry Azul, yours is a bit goofy and doesn't compliment your hair very well), and while it follows some of the reasons I've cited on Jade's, there's also something else. the hat helps to show his impulsive nature! how so? well, I think like this: the rest of the uniform he has to wear, there's no escaping it, but the hat? he can do wathever he wants with it. if he feels like putting it on, he does, if he doesn't feel like it, he can just not. it's not a crucial part like the shirt or the suit, so people won't get much on his case about it. in the card, he's taken it off, simply because he wanted to.
he's also more free than Jade's buttoned up look, as he quite literally doesn't button up many parts of it, his jacket is open, his collarbones are exposed, his silly clown bow tie is untied, his scarf is flowing in the wind. Floyd doesn't like to be restricted by tight fitting clothes and honestly I get him.
as much as Floyd is interested in shoe fashion, I don't like his shoes at all. in most of his cards actually. I don't know if it's because I know nothing about it and use an All Star for every occasion, but his shoes always look goofy because of his socks. ALWAYS. who lets him keep getting away with this??? someone please stop him he's comminting crimes against fashion with those socks. THE NEON PURPLE DOESN'T EVEN GOES WELL WITH THE SOFT LAVANDER OF HIS SHIRT. THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON FOR HIM HERE. not to mention he's also using the tap dancer shoes.
CONCLUSION
I really like Octavinelle's under the sea theme and how well their designs make callbacks for their counterparts, making nice references for such an iconic villain! all in all they are very elegant and pass a professional vibe that's characteristic of the dorm and it's students, leaving enough space for their own little quirks to shine through.
I love to take a look at them like this!! I might have a terrible fashion sense for myself, but when it comes to character design I suddenly become a critic lol. though I feel that the game manages very well to create interesting designs that calls to mind the original villain's and leave enough room for their own personalities to shine, catching your attention and staying easily on your memory! all the characters have unique little things that differentiate them and make even people that have never played the game recognize them!
that's it for their dorm uniforms and general designs, I hope you like it curious anon! thank you for once again indulging me on my rambles!
(I took the images from pinterest but they are from the 2020 visual book, which I found some translations for in their character fact sheets and here, or from the Little Mermaid's concept art book!)
