bluapapilio: Sakura and Togame from Wind Breaker (winbre togasaku ninja)
[personal profile] bluapapilio

Inugami appeared in a hilarious way in chapter 3! Chouji calls him Wan-chan lmao. He's a puppy but he's trying to communicate through meows with an ally cat. Aw, Inugami's upset that Sako left Shishitouren...

It kinda sucks right now that attributes are so important but it's hard to make a full balanced team with so few characters out. The SSR versions are barred behind a low draw rate so you have to make due with one or two SSRs, some S's and the rest A's to split across attribute teams. I have one full same-attribute team but it's not balanced right, I think it's missing a striker and has 2 supporters, plus multiple A's.

Did Inugami tackle Sako?? 🀣 Oh, he though he was trying to kill himself by jumping......

This game made me realize Tsugeura speaks in Kansai-ben, guess I didn't pay attention when I watched the anime.

So Chouji challenged Umemiya, Wanijima challenged Chouji/Togame, then Inugami challenged Sako (who challenged Hiiragi), then Sako told Chouji to challenge him...oh Shishitouren.

It must've been really hard for Kanuma to leave Arima to do what Wanijima asked of him. Man, this group is so dumb, they should've done their research before attacking Shishitouren. πŸ˜… To be fair the big brother didn't know until last minute so the younger brother is the one making him look stupid.

First time seeing Chouji look like that and getting excited! YEAH show Kraken their mistakes!!!

Wow, I got x2 of the highest ranking film rolls, 1 highest ranking notebook and 8k of the green coins for ranking in PVP!

I ended up buying the special pass to support the game and because I'm greedy and want more stuff haha.

I tried to pull for the new event Kaji but got SSR Hiiragi (which is fine), I'll just keep trying.

The chat with Kiryuu about crane games when Sakura compliments him is cute, almost made me ship it. <3 I guess I kinda of already do, in a polyam way? And the chat about games reaching end of service is too relatable. T__T

Oh, I reached the level cap at 38. :O So that's what the yellow coin shop is for... Looks like you get them in place of exp for mission rewards etc, wonder how long it'll take to get 10k.

The chat with Kaji about how the movie he borrowed from Enomoto on the rainy day wasn't as funny as usual because he had no one to watch it with. And encouraging Sakura to spend time after school with his classmates. And you can choose to have Sakura say "I-I'll...try...inviting them." :') Ugh Kaji is a great mentor.

The biggest pain about this game is matching the scene cards to the characters, some are character exclusive, some are attribute exclusive and some are card exclusive. Sometimes I'm gonna need to really sit down and save my parties. I didn't have enough to form full balanced parties before but I might now. And I need to level up more A and S scene cards to make up for some of my SSR scene cards being so exclusive... (You still get some stats if you mismatch a card but I don't know if it's worth it??)

Chapter 6: So Leona's lines at the end of the last chapter were connected to how Scar in The Lion King wasn't a good king, no matter how much you want it or think you deserve it because of lineage, if you can't keep your people alive and happy there's no point in sitting on the throne.



The idea of Jack crouching down a few feet to scare them like this is too funny. And then he had a total tsundere moment. πŸ˜‚



Cute!!! I always want to screenshot everything in this manga, I'm being fed so well since we don't get to see things like this in the game because of the game style.

Chapter 7: Oh, there are bunny-eared people too?

Man, it's so silly to think Malleus and Lilia would have let themselves be stampeded. Oh Leona...

The notes for Yuuka! "She can shoulder throw Jack". He had to feel some mad respect when she did that.

bluapapilio: Idia from Twisted Wonderland (twst chibi!idia)
[personal profile] bluapapilio

I started playing again after some time. I last finished Penacony and started the Wardance ceremony quest. The introductions just happened with Fuming's arbiter-general. I don't like Yunli's attitude but she's not wrong about Yanqing, he has things to work on. Just as she does.

What was with Dan Heng's comment about how he hoped Caelus and Jing Yuan just spent some time together and that's why they're close? What else would the case have been for them acting so chummy??

Oh, meeting Moze and Jiaoqiu!

I love how your only options for describing Yanqing to Lingsha are: Young, Cute, Miniature. I'm surprised he didn't protest.

Oh, a wild Sushang. Why do we have the option to say 'you look so pretty when you're serious' WTF.

The Yanli vs Yanqing thing is annoying, just communicate! Yanqing, learn to take criticism, Yanli, learn to give it in a non-abrasive way. You're proving that you're immature.

I like Feixiao, she's cool. :)

"I'm a healer."

Oo nice bit of Yanqing growth, he realized why he continues to do swordplay despite the fear of losing.

Dan Heng saving and protecting Caelus!

Jiaqiou: I'm a healer, fighting isn't everything
Also Jiaoqiou: *doesn't have a healing ability, is a fire attacker*

How did Hoolay get out of the gate?? What did Hoolay mean his first meal was one of his own.

So Xueyi's body is ingenium but her soul is still the same. How the heck did she get permission for that. Hanya was the most effusive I've ever heard her when Xueyi came back as the cycrane. :')

Hahaha Caelus can tell Moze "you look better when you're silent". Moze: "...Really?". I feel like Caelus has some experience reading silent people's expressions because of Dan Heng.

I wasn't expecting to get to see Jiaoqiu's thoughts, I felt like he had things under control in some way but no, he's calling himself a loser and blaming himself already for not doing anything. :'(

The time jump was kind of weird. Like, Yanqing saying 'I WAS planning on showing them the Skysplitter' but he DID do that, and Dan Heng saying the guards protected them and showing he, Caelus and Hanya surrounding by mech. Like...that's not what happened. Or it's not clear enough.

Poor Dan Heng finding new stuff out about his past because Lingsha held a huge grudge against Jing Yuan without knowing the truth about her mentor. At least she's quick to own up. But I want to know more about how the mentor did something to Dan Heng's cocoon to try to make him keep his memories after rebirth. I'm surprised her mentor didn't tell her the truth before she went to the Luofu.

So Feixiao was a slave to the borisin? Geeeze. But she got away and used what she learned against them. Are foxians who grow up with borisin immune to lupitoxin or something?

Shuffle Team Show vol. 2

SUZAKU & KANATA:

Bet Nayuta went to hang out with Shiki.


Beef dropped by the stubborn KANATA
Like a kid who’s not good at expressing love, C’mon
He called Kanata out right in the lyrics. πŸ˜‚

Enemy enemy
Further from that You are like my frenemy
SUZAKU & KANATA when mixed together
Boom! Chemistry
More, come on! Play that Sh#t seriously?!
But it’s fine since In the end I’ll have everything


These. Two! And the comments on the video. X'D

"kanata: ew stay away we're enemy >:( allen: don't be like that bro you know it's more than that :( we are... FRENEMY!"

Beauty & Beast:

SATSUKI 😭 I feel like Anne would be interested in older guys, not younger. I truly wonder how Satsuki would react knowing Anne isn't a woman. Someone in the comments said he would still like them even if he was shocked.


That was so good!! Oh to be a fly on the wall when they wrote the lyrics.

Why do you like me? Dance and show me everything you’ve got
Why do you want me? It’s still not enough
Show me everything you are, let me feel you
Yeah, in the palm of Buddha, I swear this feeling is no lie

48 & cozmez:

Hajun: "I've simply been wanting to understand what it is about you that has caught Allen's attention."

X'D

I knew Kanata would take full advantage of the free meal!

HE LET THEM DRINK THE CLEANING WATER

That was pure sadism taking them to an upscale restaurant like that, I'm feeling oddly protective hah.

...Who picked out that song title.


I really like this one, and the comments on the video are great too. Hajun brings up some things I've thought about myself but because he's him he can't say things in a way they'll understand better.

Chapter 4: Riddle adjusting Yuu's tie was kinda cute, he looked so satisfied and it was friendly too, different from how it would've been on first meeting. :)



omg that's so cute~!

So not only did Ruggie risk chopping off Jamil's finger, he wasted food and Jamil could have hit his head if he fell. And of course Jamil would recognize that unique magic because of his own, and that's some good foreshadowing.

Chapter 5:



Cater sitting on the desk. XD They're tag-teaming Ruggie. And Cater having to stop Riddle from using his unique skill without his wand because he just recovered from overblot.


Deuce's pink outfit was leopard print, what. πŸ˜‚

What does Jack mean they don't know the culprits?? Trey got hurt! That alone would be enough.

Lmao the fight with Jack turned into an all out brawl.



They're so funny, and I love how not-sorry Yuu was. πŸ˜‚

[personal profile] bluapapilio

Ahh I love the original Shishitouren story, it shows what happened almost directly after the fight with Fuurin. Togame and Chouji actually stepped down and the original character is a guy who left when they originally changed, I think. And Arima and Kanuma left! That must've been hard. OH, and the new char is a crocodile! Well, it's in his name, like turtle for Togame and bunny for Chouji. xD

I guess it's just a sprite limit but they show Arima and Kanuma in their jackets even though they were stripped of them and left Shishitouren.

I saw a JP tweet where someone pointed out how Chouji calls everyone by nicknames except for Arima and it's true! Kanuma is 'Numa-chan'.

Ahh okay, I got a Sugishita exclusive scene card where if you have Umemiya in your party you get a 10% to damage for 30 seconds on top of the 10% dmg cut at the start.

Arima and Kanuma said what I was thinking about; it's selfish to go and step down, they should have apologizing/said their piece and then asked everyone what they wanted them to do.

Why are unique skills based on hair/clothing color for mobs. X'D

It makes me happy to know that Sakura gets all this free food from the townspeople.

Just got my first in-game look at Wanijima and daang he can get it. HE BLUSH



Oh my god a glitch just happened where he glided onto the screen. 🀣 I debated making a gif to show it but I'm lazy. Just know it's hilarious.

Haha he's cute, his reaction to his sister Asuko calling him too big. He calls Shishitouren members by their first names?! Standing beside Chouji you really see how big he is!



His alarm tone is a bird chirping, :']

Using my movies boardgame.

I completed all the movies in my last challenge! I rated Bystanders and The Relic the highest at 4/5 stars.

Avatar: Hercule Poirot (move one extra tile once, works on trap tile if even roll)

Roll #1

A 4. Prompt: fantasy element. This is horror with a fantasy element (goblins): Unwelcome ('22).

Roll #2

A 5, prompt: longest titled. I shuffled and picked from the first page. There were two 7 word titles and I chose The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster ('23).

Roll #3

A 9, prompt: based on a book. I picked The Worst Witch ('86). It's based on a children's book series by the same name. Tim Curry is in it.

Roll #4

Roll #5

A 9. Prompt: lowest rated on PTW... The Requin ('22) at 1.3/5 stars, huh. I honestly don't know why I keep watching shark movies when they're always so dark. Apparently Alicia Silverstone couldn't save this one.

Roll #6

A 10, which brings me to the end. I'm glad my list is shorter this time, I have a lot on my TV Show lists to watch. Reward: It’s What’s Inside ('24).

Game changelog: removed 'animal/non-human companion' from prompts, it's too hard to find one. Main char yes, companion ehhh. I've already watched most of them anyway.

I saw some people making lists of 100 formative books or other media to see how many of them other people have read, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon! But I did all kinds of media in one list, which was both way harder than I expected to get to 100 and yet I feel like I've missed a lot of important things I just can't remember off the top of my head lmao.

But here we go: Lex Tinkaton's 100 Formative Media List

I included stuff from my teen years, so anything that influenced me as a kid or I was obsessed with as a teen. There's probably a lot of old books I've missed, I used to read a loooot of series like Animorphs, Goosebumps, etc. for older elementary/middle grade readers that had like 500 books in a series. Lots of typical 90s kid stuff, I filled up a lot of spots with Disney and other animated movies. I noticed when adding my favorite old anime and manga that a ton of it had to do with gay stuff, crossdressing, or gender fuckery, which looking back is like lol. It's fitting that Adolescence of Utena got the first spot because that movie rewired my brain when I saw it in what, 5th grade? Video games were tough to narrow down too because I still think back fondly on a lot of PS1/PS2 games that I still consider faves.

Anyway, if anyone plays, let me know how many you get! Which of you would've matched my freak if we'd met in high school.

MyDramaList Lists

Avatar:
The Lost Tomb (free reroll)



Roll #1

A 7. The trap tile. Le sigh. At least it was only the first trap tile.

Roll #2

A 4. Prompt: Adapted from a book. Love of Fairy and Devil! According to MDL I've watched 5 episodes?? I may have to skim the last episode to make sure I'm up to date. πŸ€”

Roll #3

Another 4 and I landed on the PTW tile. I generated a 73 so that's...okay look, it landed on Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born but there's a reason I don't like starting new things and would rather stick to what I'm already watching most of the time. Looking at this one intimidates me so I decided to re-generate a number, got 100 which is the BL drama Love for Love's Sake and thought it sounds like it was a little 'emotional dread' lol it also has fluff.

...I only remembered after that that I could've used my skill. Whatever, I picked something. >.>

Roll #4

A 5. Series tile. Hmm I guess I'll go ahead and watch Irresistible Love 2 before I forget the first part too much. I found the uncut/happy ending (is there an alternative bad ending??) here.

Roll #5

A 2. Prompt: Weapon on the cover/in title. I picked another one that I'm going to have to rewatch before I can continue: HIStory3: Trapped. I previously watched 4 episodes.

Roll #6

A 6, just past the trap tile. Prompt: LBTQ+. Lmao that's too easy but I'll take it. I'll watch more A Tale of Thousand Stars.

Roll #7

A 3. Again with the PTW! I used to think I needed to add more of these tiles because I rarely landed on them but now... Generated a 71. Oh, an interesting one! Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart!

Roll #8

A 2. Prompt: favorite trope etc. I decided on something isekai related and went ahead with Pending Train. It's more time travel but that's one of my favorite tropes. Prev. watched 3 episodes.

Roll #9

This list is getting longgg. Rolled a 7, again just past the trap tile. Prompt: highest rated on PTW list. It's between Nirvana in Fire and The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, so costume drama vs medical drama. I'm choosing Nirvana in Fire, it does intimidate me but I'll take it slow and make sure to keep logs as usual so I can remind myself what happens.

Roll #10

A 4, prompt: adventure! It was between The Lost Tomb 2 or Mystic Nine and the latter won out this time. I'd like to get it done before continuing The Lost Tomb. I've prev. watched 9 episodes.

Roll #11

A 9 and the end thank gods I'm so tired. Reward is watching twice the drama I enjoy the most of. Since I might forget about it I'm gonna guess it'll be A Tale of Thousand Stars but there's a lot of interesting stuff on the list so idk.

Game Changelog:
-Removed the 'aired in your birth year' prompt because...I could only find one show on my list that aired in December and I didn't want to watch it. πŸ™ƒ
-The series tile doesn't really make sense to me, might change it to 'currently watching'?? Or change the wording?

"5 Seconds Before... /
A Witch Falls in Love | Falling in Love with a Witch"


Sumiya Zeniko, 2018

MyAnimeList
MangaUpdates

Summary: Solitary witch Meg likes to be mischievous and make trouble in the forest for her nemesis, Lilith the Witch Hunter. But when an altercation goes sideways, and Meg turns Lilith into a cat, a cascade of unfortunate events means witch is now responsible for saving witch-hunter! Sparks were flying between these antagonistic ladies before--what will their relationship be like after this cat-astrophe?

My comments:

5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love: I loved this oneshot so much, I wish it was serialized so we could see more of the world and its characters but then it might take them ages to get together, so...

5 Seconds Before Falling in Love With a Witch:
Continuation in Lilith's POV! Happy ending. \o/ I love how Meg ended up drinking the truth potion meant for Lilith to get her feelings out. Ugh now I want to see what their life is like after getting together. If they lived together imagine all the hijinks! And Lilith would have to wrangle in Meg's more destructive tendencies.

I look forward to rereading this in the future and I've ordered a physical copy of the English edition from Seven Seas~~

My rating: 5/5
