Happy 6/13, the second anniversary of octo expansion! This is a comic about when Agent 3 and Agent 8 first reach Inkopolis.

I just wanted to draw something sappy :)

I guess you could call this mini comic 'confession'

This is an old Zelink fanfic I never posted. Never ended it properly, but still want to get it out

Okay, I need help finding an old harutaka comic. I can't for the LIFE of me find it and I'm fearing it's been deleted. It starts with Haruka and Takane entering an arcade and the clerk jokes "hey you two look like a couple", Takane blushes/yells up a storm and Haruka laughs it off (but thinks to himself "I'd like that but I don't have much time left")... TIME SKIP post-str(?) Harutaka go back to the arcade with Haruka in a wheelchair, clerk stops them again and apologizes for the joke. Haruka brushes it off, holds Takane's hand and says "don't worry, we're dating now!" If you have any idea on what this comic is, who's the artist, or where I can find it, I'll be very grateful. P.S. love the art!

tysm, my “like” of it got buried under the 3800 OTHER things I’ve accumulated over the years. I really need to go through my backlog and actually reblog things

Just to let you know, that lesser known waifu you submitted is just Nue Houjuu from touhou. Now go and swim in the thousands of pics of fan art of her

Avatar

Oh dw, I know it's Nue Honjuu! I suppose I should've clarified in my lesserknownwaifus post. I'm a massive Touhou fan and finding out about t+pazolite's works made me a bigger fan. Ty for letting me know in case I didn't!

Hiatus (Update)

Okay, so here’s the update on my self-imposed hiatus. I previously stated that the reason I stopped writing about Friskriel was because I didn’t like writing essentially “blank slates”. For more information, please read this

After Our Lives

Aaaand part 3 is finished! sequel to “Reaping the Benefits

Boy, it felt good to get this out. I have an update to that Hiatus statement I had a long time ago (aka the reason I stopped writing) that I’ll post sometime after this. I noticed that these fanfics got (literally) no traction on Tumblr, but massive amount on Ao3. Either Hololive isn’t as big on Tumblr? Or my account got shadowbanned, whatever. I’ll keep posting my random ideas here for the sake of keeping a record, in case Ao3 goes under.

“Reaping” the Benefits

Sequel to “Fading”, a tribute fanfic to the Ao3 series “From Ame to Same” by FinnGalaxy

And sequel out! A lot shorter than the first, but it really is just a transition chapter. Final chapter should tie up all loose strings, and be a definite conclusion to this series. 

Gotta say, I’m real happy I’m getting back into writing. I’m seriously thinking of attempting to continue Undercrossing and maybe D:tF. But I’ll probably talk more about those once this trilogy’s done.

(also, I was planning on making the title “Death and Taxes” but I realized it didn’t fit that well)

Avatar

Fading

Wow, okay this is out of left field. After *checks last fanfic* jesus, 3 YEARS of not posting any works I come out from the shadows with a new fanfic.

Weird thing, it’s not Undertale, it’s Hololive shipping. Yup, that new trend that I still do not understand completely (basically streamer but Live2D face-tracker anime girl?). I got into a ship from the 1st gen (specifically Amelia and Gura, and a bit of Kiara and Calliope)

For the record, I don’t condone the act of shipping ACTUAL PEOPLE together, but the AmeGura art and actual things they’ve done together is too cute to pass up. I hope that whomever enjoys this ship enjoys what I have to offer (and two more sequels are planned in the very near future. In fact I’m most likely going to start writing them after posting this)

For context, it’s my take on the “ending” of a series of works called “From Ame to Same” by FinnGalaxy on Ao3. They will be properly credited there when I do post it on Ao3. In a sense, it’s technically fan-fanfiction lol

Also, the title is a reference to the stellar Friday Night Funkin’ mod Smoke Em Out Struggle, which I was listening to the entire time I was writing this.

Enjoy.

Thank god I found someone other than Alpharad that is actually happy that Pyra/Mythra's in Smash. They're not an anime swordswoman, they're literally an anime sword. Bonus points the fact we never have to hear Rex while playing them (thinking of co-maining/secondary them, never using Smash Ball ever. Fuck Rex's VO)

Avatar

Heck yeah I’m excited! All people ever said was how Pyra/Mythra would never be in Smash, and I was convinced, tbh. I could barely even believe it was real when people started messaging me about it (shoutouts to my friends who knew I’d be pumped!). I’m not exaggerating when I say that the announcement has fully reawakened my interest in Smash!

Although I do have to say that I don’t think it was necessarily Rex’s voice actor who did a bad job. Skye Bennett, Pyra/Mythra’s voice actor, said that they had almost no direction when they were recording dialogue. And direction is probably more important than anything else, tbh. If you don’t know anything about how the line should be delivered or the motivation behind it, you can’t be expected to put on a brilliant performance. I think Rex stood out so much because he was the protagonist, so he was always around. It’s far from a masterful performance, but I like to think it wasn’t the actor’s fault.

Exactly. If I was a VA, I’d want at least some context when recording a line.

Apart from being a character I’ve really wanted from my favorite RPG on the switch atm (If you don’t count the Blaster Master series which is AMAZING), they also look like a really fun, deep character. The mode switch between a slower, more powerful Pyra and a zippy, weak Mythra is giving me major Melee Shiek/Zelda vibes. But, you know, actually done right, instead of one being obsolete because of the prevalence of fast rushdown top tiers. 

One of the things I’m really excited for is the alternate costumes, I’m really hoping for a Pneuma (whoop spoiler) alt and see if they really add the swimsuit alts lol. I’m hoping for a lot of references to the other prominent Drivers and Blades in the XC2 universe.

The OTHER thing I’m very excited for is music. I was super bummed when there was no XC2 music in Ultimate, but here’s hoping they put in all the bangers: The Main battle theme, Counterattack, and my personal favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1weNnjzaXbY (I didn’t fully play through Torna but that battle theme is SO GOOD)

Dude, I LOVE Whisper of the Heart! It's one of my favorite Ghibli movies! Fav's still Laputa, since it's what got me into Ghibli in the first place. Do you have a Top 10 (or at least, top 5)?

Avatar

I so rarely hear people even mention Whisper of the Heart but it was such a cute movie! I actually never saw a Ghibli movie before 2019 lol But I’ve watched a good dozen or so since then! I have an extremely different opinion on what ones are my favorites compared to what the general consensus is, but my Top 5 so far would be:

1- The Secret World of Arrietty 2- When Marnie Was There 3- Whisper of the Heart 4- Kiki’s Delivery Service 5- Castle in the Sky

What are yours??

Nice, it’s nice to know that people are watching ones that aren’t watched by EVERYONE (like Whisper of the Heart) I always hear Spirited Away, Kiki’s, Howl’s and that’s it. My top 5 are: 1. Laputa, Castle in the Sky 2. Nausicaa, Valley of the Wind 3. Howl’s Moving Castle 4. Whisper of the Heart 5. Princess Mononoke 

My top 3 are like that because I love the designs of everything (environment, ship design, wildlife, magic in general) and the lore. Laputa especially. The concept of a lost kingdom in the sky (as opposed to sea, like Atlantis) protected by a massive evergoing storm is so interesting to me.

I need to go on a Ghibli binge again. Certainly got the time now that my job’s been eternally postponed (I work at a stadium so it’s obvious why I’m unemployed). Thank god for Employment Insurance.
