Ikevamp bois playing modern games part 2
Vincent
Vincent is way into.. gartic phone
Qnd perhaps skribble.io
Like way into it
He would sit down 12 hours in front of the computer and guess what HES BEEN PLAYING GARTIC PHONE AND SKRIBBLE.IO IN A LOBBY OF RANDOMS
12 HRS IN HES STILL NOT DONE WITH BOTH GAMES
Hed obv speedrun a drawing in a short period of time and manage to make it look *chefs kiss*
Imagine if skribble.io had a vc feature tho
No no, like imagine if people were actually toxic in this goofy ahh game
They would yell down vincent down the mic telling him to go play with photoshop
Randoms are salty that vincent can draw and portray even the most ridicilous prompts which results him with the highest score always
Not to mention hes really good at guessing even the shittiest drawimgs from other ppl
"Broer how- that persons drawing looks ridicilous, even arthur's dog could draw that"
"Don't be mean theo! I could guess the drawing from the emotional connection i felt from it"
Jean
Jean has a shitty brick nokia phone
And he really loves playing snake II
No im serious
Well i suppose momte doesnt trust him with any other phones than that
the last time he was given a smartphone he downloaded some hack and slash game
took the word slash literally and then proceeded to cut the phone into two
comte was too stunned to speak
momte didn’t want his kids to miss out on gadgets but he cant have jean destroying his smartphone
BINGO! a nokia 3310 it is! 
jean didnt know how to react at first, but he found it easier to navigate and thats when he found out baout snake II
found it a bit pointless at first but despite saying that, he doesnt realize that thats the only thing he does besids fencing
snake II is his pre workout
the only thing he will be doing before his fencing practice
before meals
and before bed
‘‘jean are you sure you haven’t had enough of snake II..?’‘ comte asked causiously as he never know how his son Jean would react
jean looked at comte and stayed silent for a hot minute
‘‘no’‘
Napoleon
OK FLASH BACK TO MY E BOY NAPOLEON FANART FROM 2021
its official
He plays league of legends
Napoleon is deffo a jungle/top main
Jungle preferabbly
Bros actually cracked coz hed turn any non meta champs into an absolute beast
I see him being especially good with pantheon jungle
Hed play league with jean tbh
And jean would be a dedicated top
But i dont see jean being the best player..
No, like imagine napoleon defending jean from "top troll" and getting spammed "?" On his lane
Napo would literally go to that persons lane just to steal their minion last hits
If hes feeling extra hed even use pantheons ult to yeet over to that player to ks all the minions on that person's lane 😭
"Jgl troll gg"
Ok napo is actually not toxic and is rly nice to play with
Hed even supp for you if ur learning a new champ
Hes only toxic to people who are toxic to his buddies
Comte
Ill be honest
Comte looks like someone who would download all games from every ad pop up he gets
And im talking about anything gacha related
He does not care whether the game is explicit or not as long as he can collect pretty characters
Is he interested in the gameplay??? Probably not.
"For what reason did you spend $$$$$$ on xxx game???" Leonardo asked as he scrolled through comte's in game billings, cocking an eyebrow
"Hm? Well i simply wanted to collect all of these lovely looking characters."
"Without leveling up your characters?"
"Non"
"Do you understand how to play this game?"
Comte only looked at him with his unwavering smile
"honestly this is the most ridicilous spending ive witness from you, heh" Leo snorted
"Much appreciated, but i dont recal asking for any input, old friend" comte retorted
Leo looked at him and sighed
"Honestly at this point i shouldn't be surprised"
.
.
This took me forever to upload because i coulndn't figure what type of game comte would play then one day i was like AHAAAAA
Also i didn't proof read as always so pls dont chop my head off :"))

HELLO AGAIN EVERYONE my tummy aches but im being brave about it and im going to fight the pain with the power of love and friendship (aka im going to thank you for the christmas tree messages)
okay let me be emotional for a moment...
because of the current circumstances at home, this Christmas was very different and much lonelier for me. i did my best not to get the blues and i think it was okay for the most part! now looking back at it, without a doubt, the highlight of my Christmas this year was reading the tree messages. it was very late in the night, i had just finished reading Napo's story event route and i saved the best part for desert, barely containing my excitement to finally read the messages. and i expected just a row of "merry christmas"-es 😭 you know, because, i did that? i kept mine all short and i was just shouting some wishes at you.... BUT NO, YOU OUTDID YOURSELVES IN TURN! WHAT WAS THAT! i was right there sobbing in my bed being all "?????" .... i seriously didn't expect 1) to have so many because i did the tree very last minute 2) to receive such sweet messages...
and then i realized, was my Christmas really all that lonely? because, just 3-4 years ago, i didn't know any of you here. before that i never was more than a lurker in online spaces so... i think that's when i had truly lonely christmases, not now. thank you for being here. i don't deserve you... no im sorry if you hate it when i say that, pretend that i didnt say it ( i lowkey think that) (im sorry im in my low self esteem era these past months)
OKAY SO
thank you person called Bread, thank you Lorei for being the first sob of my sob session, it's all YOUR fault that i got so emotional oh my god im totally dm-ing you after this, thank you irl bestie who not only left me a sweet personal message but also roleplayed my faves for me because i screamed (you heard it), thank you kat for your three messages that made me feel all kind of emotions (im touched that youre willing to write this even if i feel like im going to hate it), THANK YOU NINNI HUGS BACK!, thank you Ally i know it was you. using roy to threaten me with a good time.... smh... MERRY CRIMMY SCUM!!!!, YAY TO YOU TOO, SOLACE!! Thank you aqua, you're right, he's good to me 🥺 just as chev is to you, i believe! THANK YOU DREW im still thinking about it. Thank you Fang, I could say the same and you know it 🥺, THANK YOU DEVON!! Thank you so much Ana, I too hope the same, I'm glad I became your mutual! 🥹 Same goes to you too, Oliver! I'm just always so happy to see new faces around, truth is im a little bit shy with interactions at first because i feel annoying... so thank you for becoming my moot! 🙇🏻‍♀️💗 Thank you, sweet Julie 🥹 THANK YOY MYARA, I CRIED A LITTLE! right back at ya, i think that you're an irreplaceable part of our little space and im just so glad to be here and see everything you do and share with us! hope your 2024 is full of joy both on here and irl ❤ Thank you mimi, i feel the same and you better not forget that! Thank you Michelle, love you too!!! THANK YOU, NAMI! Thank you, Impromptu!!!!! Thank you Nori!!!!!!!!! And thank you sui you're so right as ever. nods.
i think thats all im so sorry if i forgot anyone ALSO im so sorry for doing this. i tried to keep my responses vague in case you wanted these to be extra private... i initially was going to dm all of you but. that was because i thought there were going to be like 10 of you!!! again im sorry. love you all so much im an emotional wreck
i hope you had a good time these past few days and i hope we can all look forward to a great 2024 together 🥺 i'd be nowhere without you

𝗡𝗮𝗽, 𝗡𝗮𝗽𝗼, 𝗡𝗮𝗽𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗡𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗶, 𝗡𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗼, 𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 [Napoleon x MC]
► Lately Napoleon notices that MC is using quite a lot of nicknames for him…
Napoleon Bonaparte x MC • rating: G • wordcount: 776 • tags: fluff; nicknames; humor; ‼ slightly suggestive • masterlist
a/n: While talking about how in the ikeseries games there are suitors whose nicknames are the actual names of other suitors and thus making it hard to figure out who the person is speaking about, (see: Leo (midcin) and Leo-nardo/Gali-leo; Liam and Wil-liam (ikemen villains); Leon (ikepri) and Napo-leon) it accidentally turned into a discussion of preferred nicknames for Napoleon.
From @viohasgoneintothewoods : Nap
From @venulus : Leone, Napoleoncito, Leoncito
From @krys-loves-otome : Napster, Naps, Napoleoni
Tumblr media
Lately Napoleon notices that MC is using quite a lot of nicknames for him…
1. As soon as he wakes up.
"Wakey wakey, Nap…"
The sound of MC's voice wakes him up just to the point where he reaches a hand out of the bedsheets to drag her in for his infamous morning kiss. But he pauses. He realizes the nickname she called him with.
"…Nap? Because I sleep a lot?"
"Yes, because you sleep a lot!"
Napoleon hums, nestling himself further in the mess of bedsheets.
"I don't even nap that much, I just sleep in…"
2. At breakfast
"Vincent, can you pass this to Napo?"
"Napo? Oh! Here you go, Napo!"
Napoleon blinks at MC's new nickname for him, quickly adapted by Vincent, barely remembering to take the plate from his hands. He guesses he's Napo now.
"Hah. Napo. I like how it sounds." Leonardo chimes in, not even looking away from his morning paper.
"Napo…" Jean tries. If it sticks with Jean, then it sticks forever.
3. On a date
"Are you falling asleep?"
Napoleon makes a low sound in his throat in reply, enough to let her know that he's not falling asleep. Their picnic date turned into a lazy reading session in nature, and frankly, the book hasn't been too interesting.
"This is why I call you Napster."
There it is again.
He remains silent for a moment. He looks for the line he read last in the book but he can't find it.
"You don't even call me Napster."
4. At the école
"Napoleone! Your fiancée is here!"
Turning to the boy who informs him of MC's arrival, Napoleon nearly misses the incoming attack from his other short opponent. But only nearly. Because he's not their cool teacher for nothing.
"Ahh, did you lie about proposing to me again? Stupid Napoleoni…"
Napoleoni? Napoleoni??!!
The laugher of a dozen kids is too much shame to live with. He will never be their cool teacher again, not with that lame nickname.
5. At night
Being a vampire doesn't mean that you don't deserve a nice massage at the end of a long day. Truly, his muscles aren't given the chance to stiffen too much, but he can't miss the magic touch of MC's hands on him. He's lying on his stomach, with her straddling his waist and working the knots on his shoulders.
"Mmm…"
He's aware he is being vocal. It's just that good.
MC giggles.
"You're roaring like a lion."
"Mmyeah? Do you have a clever little nickname for that too?"
"I do actually!"
She pauses, and Napoleon thinks she might be coming with it right now.
"Napoleoncito."
Oh. So we're spanishing it up now?
"That's a little too long, don't you think? Defeats the purpose."
"Hmm, hmm…"
She's not even moving her hands anymore, but Napoleon is too interested to see where this leads to care.
"Leoncito then. I like it! You're my little lion…"
Now, this is taking it too far.
In one quick and swift movement, Napoleon snakes his way from under MC and throws her down on the bed - so that he's leaning over her with a hand on each side of her head.
"Am I still a little lion?"
MC catches her bottom lip between her teeth, looking him in the eye. He seems quite handsome from this angle, if she has to be frank.
"Please don't eat me."
"Only if you tell me what's up with you and nicknames lately."
She giggles under him, fidgeting with a button of his shirt. Not necessarily with the intention to undo it.
"I just thought you might've gotten bored with the same old every time. You've got your 'Nunuche' for me but my 'Leon' or occasionally 'Leone' is not as creative as yours is."
Napoleon's eyes scan her features while taking in her words. Then he sighs.
"So that's what it was."
"Mm, maybe I should try harder…"
"I didn't say that I'm bored with how you call me."
"I liked Nap… it's keeping it nice and short. Maybe an 's' at the end will help it roll off the tongue better. An elongated one. Napsss…"
"Nunuche."
He leans in closer while she trails off in voiced out thoughts that he made clear he is not enthusiastic about hearing. She doesn't turn away, but doesn't stop either.
"Or maybe you liked Napster better? I liked Leoncito the best."
"Nunuche."
He's so close he can practically feel the shiver of her skin as he whispers against her neck, letting his fangs scrape against it.
"Call my name next."
He hears her suck on a breath and a smirk blooms on his lips.
"Napoleon."

. arthur x reader . entry for day 2 of 12 days of arthur .
“Is he here yet?” I murmured to myself, trying to get a good look of the crowd from backstage. I had to do my best to not be seen, but god I wished I could get a good look at everyone present. It was closing night of our show. Six days of mayhem, six days of putting myself out there for everyone to see, six days of makeup that could make my skin break out like I’d never known before, and six days of hoping he’d show up. Any show came with aggressive advertising, and practically begging my friends to come see it, usually with some success. I’d seen my friends Theo and his brother Vincent, Isaac, Sebastian (who came multiple times), Leo, Napo, and everyone else in my circle. It was validating, having people come up to me and give me a big hug, couples with choruses of “You were amazing!” and “You were my favorite character!”
But none of it really mattered if he wasn’t there.
Arthur was the one I really wanted to see in the crowd. He was someone I’d only known for a few years, but I’d developed the biggest crush on him. His accent, his kindness, his talent, and his general sharpness encapsulated me. He was the kind of guy that someone can only dream of. Like a character in a story. He wrote a lot of those, too. His stories were so vivid, with imagery that was brewed in my mind like a stew with the finest ingredients. The characters, the settings, the emotions they felt drew me in so deeply I’d lose myself in them and blur the lines in my psyche to the point where I’d forget where I was at the end. And the most amazing part: He did all this while working his way into med school.
Poor guy had been so busy the last few weeks, but he said over the course of two weeks that he’d try his best to make it. With a confident smile and a twinkle in his eye, his promises eased my heart. But as each day came and went, as I came out for every curtain call, I hadn’t seen him. His sapphire eyes, the color and shine unlike those of anyone else in the world, were nowhere to be found. His smile was not in the sea of people rewarding our efforts with a standing ovation. “Don’t worry, he’ll be there next time,” I’d keep telling myself. But every time I didn’t see him was another crack in my lovestruck hopes that he’d be there. That hurt me more than anything, as I remembered his confident words of assurance.
As I retreated from my viewpoint, I came face to face with Will, who was performing in the show with me. He had a forlorn expression, making my heart pound a little harder. What was wrong? Was a light not working? Did someone get sick?
“We have sold all the tickets,” he murmured to me, and nothing more.
Will had known of my infatuation for months now, and he knew how excited I was about the idea of Arthur bearing witness to the show we had worked so hard to put on. He’d heard every time I gushed about him, every story I’d told about him and myself, every scenario in my mind where he would react to the show in different ways. And that’s why he had such a heavy expression, that only deepened as he witnessed the tears pooling up in my eyes.
“We are? But I don’t see him!” I whispered, so as to not echo my voice into the crowd. “He’s not here! Will!” I hugged myself and looked down, trying not to mess up my makeup I’d worked so hard on. A weep escaped me, I just couldn't help it. It felt stupid, especially because my other friends already came. It felt like I was being ungrateful, but through my rationale was the flood of emotions that I’d been hiding from Arthur the whole time. If he didn’t come to the show, it was like he didn’t return my feelings. It stopped being about the show a long time ago. I knew he was probably busy, but he’d promised. He promised me a sliver of his time. Honestly if he’d just said outright that he likely wasn’t going to be able to come, I’d probably have been spared a lot of heartache.
But the reality was that seats were filled, and Arthur wasn’t one of the people filling. The show must go on.
My presence in the wings wasn’t my presence backstage. As I stood waiting for my entrance, I did everything I could to suppress my feelings. I gulped, I sighed, I shook it all out, but it only worked a little bit. If I was being honest, nothing was really going to stop how I felt, but I could stop how I presented myself. I put my brave face on, swallowed my hopeless feelings, and stepped onto the stage with all the swagger I’d possessed before.
I did one last scan of the crowd, as a Hail Mary that maybe something would work out. Maybe the stars aligned and things would go my way. He’d be there. He’d be there just like he promised.
And what I saw startled me to the extent that I almost broke character. Sitting in the front row was none other than Arthur Conan Doyle, with the most focused expression I’d ever seen him bear. He was taking in every bit of what we were doing, eyeing the intricate set and the handmade costumes from our costumer Mitsuki. This changed everything. This absolutely changed everything!
All it took was one moment for everything bad I’d ever felt to evaporate. The rejuvenation was unlike anything I’d ever felt, like I had been born again. My lines became coated with a sort of vigor I hadn’t had until that moment. They came from the chest, louder and stronger than before. My triumphs, my losses, my highest and my lowest were all more pronounced than they had ever been. All thanks to the presence of the one I cared about the most. I had to do my best for him! I just had to perform like everything was at stake!
Like every show, it had to come to an end. The cast and I came out, hand in hand, to take our final bows. Our farewell to the months we’d spent crafting a play all of us were passionate about. One last hurrah before we parted forever. And as my gaze shifted back to the crowd, I could only focus on the blue-haired man who was the first to get on his feet. His confident grin wasn’t that anymore: It was a radiant, delighted smile that reached his eyes. His beautiful, brilliant blue eyes. This was it. This was the happiest I’d ever been post-show.
“You did positively fantastic, bird!” he laughed, scooping me up in a hug once we were able to meet in the theatre lobby. “I was starting to wonder if it was truly you, you are just wonderful at playing someone wholly different! I think you’d even be able to fool me one of those days with those acting skills of yours.”
“Oh no, I’m not that good!” I replied, hugging him back with all the force my body could muster. “I think you think too highly of me.”
“Nonsense, I don’t extend that praise to just anybody. You shone so brightly, even next to your co-stars.” He pulled away to get a good look at my face. “You’re quite red. Could it be that your performance was motivated by something else? Fueled with… Hm, I can’t quite put my finger on it.”
I gulped, trying to hide the growing redness that apparently bled through my makeup. “N-no, I always perform that way! What are you trying to get at here?” Through my defense, I anticipated another teasing jab from Arthur. Was he catching on? Or worse, had he caught on long ago? Oh god, the thought was starting to make me dizzy.
“Well you were simply the best on that stage,” he hummed. “No one else had that sort of passion you did. And it was only when we made eye contact that this all seemed to kick in. It seems my presence boosted your performance. And that, coupled with your flushed little face seems to imply… love, perhaps?”
I stood, completely at a loss as to what to say. He’d cracked the case, like he always did. Digging my hole even further wasn’t going to help me in the long run. I sighed the heaviest sigh and nodded. “Yeah, maybe a little bit.”
“Just a little bit? That disappoints me. I must say that I feel very similarly about you. You’re quite cute when you’re embarrassed, you know.”
“Hey, I’m not- What?! What did you say?!”
Arthur chuckled, relaxing a bit. “I return your feelings, love. The passion you feel for me, I feel it for you too. How could I not? So you don’t have to worry. You don’t have to be embarrassed any longer. I’m truly in love with you.”
I soaked in every word he said, still wondering if I was in a dream. It seemed too good to be true. Well, whether or not I was in a dream, I knew I had to act. I stepped forward and hugged Arthur again, mashing my lips against his, to which he returned the favor.

an update
hey so i know it's been a hot minute since i did, like, anything here, and there's a reason for that. this post might get long so if you want the tl;dr here it is:
i have no plans to continue posting on this blog bc i've lost interest in the ikeseries games. however i will keep this blog up for those who still want to peruse my fics, memes, shitposts, and other posts. i'm still active on my main @hqissodelicate though so you can go follow that if you want to (if you don't that's cool too)
the not tl;dr explanation will be under the cut for those who are interested in reading my disorganised long-ass rambling:
as i said in the tl;dr summary, i've lost interest in the ikeseries games and have uninstalled them. one reason for that is i just don't like the direction that recent routes and games have been going. in ikevamp i noticed new routes have been getting darker and edgier and angstier. don't get me wrong, i have nothing AGAINST dark and angsty content (jean's route in ikevamp is one of my favourites and it's a really dark route), but my problem is that in some routes the darkness and the angst take away from the romance (e.g. theo, dazai, comte), like it gets to the point i'm like... where is the romance. where is the romance i signed up for. you can't just throw in MC going "omggg i love him im gonna fix him 🥺" and call that romance because like WHAT does she see in him. WHERE is the chemistry. in some cases IMO it seems less like the suitor loves her and more like he's using her as an emotional crutch and mistaking that dependency for being in love. that's just my take of course; if you have a different take that's fine i respect it, just respect mine too.
then news of ikemen villain dropped and i already knew it was going down the dark angsty route that the more recent ikevamp routes and ikepri as a whole has been taking, and i'm just... Not about it. i don't really understand this sudden shift and why it's not doing it for me?? ikesen's routes have dark elements and angst but IMO it's still consistently superior to the other ikeseries games in terms of writing, like IMO they did NOT miss with any routes (except maybe motonari but that's probably just bc i don't like motonari and therefore cannot see him in a romantic light). even the act 2 routes like nobunaga/masumune/yukimura sequels and keiji's route, which are darker than act 1, still managed to balance the darkness with the romance. but recent ikevamp routes and ikepri are not serving what i wish they could be serving and it's made me lose interest in the series.
you know another thing i didn't like in ikevamp? the un-explicification of smut scenes. if you've been following me for a while (or if you've been on a binge spree of my posts) you KNOW i'm a huge napo stan and i was waiting for his 4th birthday story with bated breath bc i'd heard from a friend who plays in the JP version that the smut's really REALLY raunchy and explicit, and not to mention the infamous CG (if you haven't seen it this is the one). i was THERE when the CG first hit tumblr i was screaming with the besties and fellow napo enthusiasts about it i was counting down the DAYS till we got it in the EN server. and then we did and it... disappointed. it was just not it. it's like the ikevamp writing team has a template for writing smut scenes like "[suitor] kisses MC. [suitor] touches MC suggestively. [suitor] makes some suggestive comments at MC. insert something like 'and we made love all night' then fade to black." and they just copy-paste it every time they have a smut scene and just change the suitor's name. and the bullshit part is that we have to PAY for the birthday stories with diamonds which you can only get from spending irl money, doing tapjoy ads and/or surveys (and those aren't the most reliable source of diamonds in my experience), or just religiously saving up with what little the game gives out for free. so explain to me why the fuck i'm spending what's equivalent to REAL MONEY just to get fade-to-black not-smut smut scenes. (i know apple's crackdown on sexually explicit content in the app store probably has something to do with it so fuck you apple, but still i don't really get it bc IIRC ikevamp is already rated 16+/mature in the app store and most of the explicit content is hidden behind paywalls)
also i guess i just got tired of the repetitive grinding in all the games as a whole, like logging in every day to collect daily login bonuses, doing princess lessons/intimacy battles/salons to accumulate intimacy points for main routes or events, doing ads for free diamonds bc i refuse to spend irl money on games (and sometimes the ads fucking up so i don't get my diamonds and end up just wasting my time). and in ikevamp, since i was more or less caught up on all the routes, it just felt like a chore to keep the chapters on autoplay just to accumulate checkpoints for collection events' lucky times.
most of my gripes are with ikevamp and how it's being run. if i had to go through every single critique my discord buddies and i have of how cybird's run ikevamp, i could make a whole postgrad thesis of it which i unfortunately don't have the time for. what's probably my biggest one is how they've been reducing diamond rewards in events. when i first started in late 2019, you could get like 50 diamonds from completing a premium ending in any event route. then it went down to 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, and sometimes none. i get that bc ikevamp is a free-to-play game they still need to get income from somewhere to keep the game running and pay their writers, artists, soundtrack composers etc. so they need to incentivise players to want to spend money. that said, i don't think reducing rewards is the way to do it. if i was considering taking out my credit card to spend real money on the game to, say, get the epilogue to napo's event route (not that i would after the 4th birthday disaster 💀), seeing only 5 diamonds would actually turn me OFF bc the impression i get is that they're being stingy. whereas if the reward was maybe 50 diamonds, i'd be like "oh that's pretty generous! i guess it can't hurt to spend a little real money to make up the gap between what the game has already given for free and what i want to buy." though that's just the way i think, maybe cybird's method works on others and that's fine too it's your money you can do what you want with it
and after getting into genshin, i realised how shit ikevamp's gacha system is in comparison (i know the genshin community has their complaints about the banner system but i'm personally fine with it [except the weapons banner, though then again i also don't really care about the weapons banner so i just pretend it doesn't exist]). imagine if ikevamp's gacha had a "pity" system where after xx number of pulls, your chances of getting a 5-star increases until you hit a certain threshold and then you're guaranteed to get a 5-star, AND your pull count carries over to the next gacha in the same category of gachas. wow. i would actually be tempted to spend real money if this pity system was actually a thing
so yeah, these are the main reasons why i've lost interest in the ikemen series games. i mean i might reinstall ikesen once kichou's route drops but that's the most i'll do. i know napo's getting a sequel or something in ikevamp but as much as i love him, i've become so disillusioned with ikevamp that i don't know if the sequel will do him justice and be worth playing (hell even his first route in the main story didn't do him justice IMO 💀).
that said, i do have lots of positive memories tied to this blog. i started this blog during the pandemic, and making memes and shitposts, seeing people's responses to them, interacting with you guys to create both silly and serious headcanons and theories and threads, making friends in the fandom, thirsting for our beloved ikemen together has been a real blast for the past few years, and i'm so grateful to everyone who's dropped by this blog to drop lovely asks in my askbox, liking and reblogging my posts, and have just interacted with me in some way or another. i love how interactive this fandom is, like on fics with 20 notes i'd still see lovely comments and feedback (which ironically i don't see as much in bigger fandoms where fics would have thousands of notes but little to no actual feedback), so it really feels like a big chaotic family in here.
like i said, this blog WILL remain up for people to visit/revisit my posts any time; i just won't be posting here anymore. thank you so much for welcoming me into the fandom with open arms and for the past 2-3 years of clownery and thirsting and wholesomeness 🫶🏼 i'm still active on my main @hqissodelicate if you wanna interact!

Violetta season 1: The rewatch: The conclusion
It's much harder to conclude when you've seen a season 11 billion times, but this is, believe it or not, the first time I watch it all in spanish. Of course I have seen episodes in spanish, but never a full season. So, there was a new experience!
Well...
I've appreciated Jade much more!! <3
I hate Germán more :D
I feel like my Pablangie shipping is fading... which was a little odd. In S1 I've always been THERE for them, but now I felt like I barely cared. Hm. I still appreciate that they got basically more kisses than Germangie combined <3
Napo really be so gay on main that they deleted him from existence in S2
Ok, but honestly, we always call Braco and Napo boyfriends, but I tbh felt the vibe rn of just confused eastern european and his gay best friend. Braco himself doesn't have much vibes of any sorts
Y'all realize Andrea and Gustavo very much still are at the Studio and the characters probably see them every day and pretend they don't know them
GOD how I loved Angie and Violetta's dynamic. Every time I rewatch these shows, I expect to focus on a thing and then I focus on something I didn't think. In SL I didn't think I would focus so much on Lumon in S2, for example. And I didn't think I would focus so much on the aunt and niece relationship but THE TIME IS NOW <3
I keep imagining what would've happened if Angie was there for all of her childhood. How much happier Violetta's life would've been. Imagine how it would have been. She could have told Vilu all about her mom. She could have picked her up from school and take her out for ice cream and lunch. She would defend any bully trying to pick on her. She would teach her so much her dad couldn't. She could've helped her when she got her first period (which I imagine, probably was not a fun experience in Vilu's canon upbringing, she prob had NO ONE to talk to). And with that, Angie could've probably been the one giving Vilu "the talk" and make it a less awkward experience cause she's open to any questions and Vilu would feel more comfortable asking them. Violetta could have more time to develop crushes and Angie could've talked to her about it... THEY COULD'VE SUNG TOGETHER AND ANGIE WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED HER SINGING!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAUGH GERMÁN WHY DID YOU NOT LET HER HAVE THIS CHILDHOOD SOMEONE WRITE A FIC ABOUT THIS ALTERNATE UNIVERSE OR I WILL
The Franletta moments keep popping up and now i'm about to enter the RAINBOW SEASON and you BET I will find even more moments that isn't already there!!
The songs are banging as usual
Gregorio is so much more funnier than I remember. EVERY dance class with him is filled with chaos and I love it.
You know the man we don't talk about? We don't talk about him, he's gone <3
NOW it's time to enter season 2, with
DIEGO
ESMERALDA
MARCO
THE HAPPY VIBES
THE BEST SONGS
DIEMILA
MARCESCA
LEONETTA AT THEIR PEAK
DIELETTA
THE BEST STORYLINES
FEDEMILA BEGINNINGS
LUTY CONTINUING TO SLAY
DIELEON
AND... FRANLETTA AND FRANLETTA AND FRANLETTA AND FRANLETTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Season 2 makes me so happy. Season 2 makes me so warm inside. It's so colorful, so cozy, always filled with sunshine... not to mention the incredibly queer vibes that has filled the air.
That's why my tag for season 2 is "The epic violetta rewatch 2: the rainbow season"
But before we get into that, you might wanna watch my out of context video? <3 It's much from s1, but I squeezed in some from S3 and like one scene from S2 based on my mutuals' liveblogs. There were some scenes I just couldn't bring myself not to include them.

saw the ship ask just now and i agree with the others, banri is my first choice for you too but also:
OMI BECAUSE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE and also because he's so perfect?? and multitalented??? and y'all would be such a power couple i swear (he'd also treat you so fine bro 😩)
fandom hopping but yeah napoleon lmao. i think it's because you've thirsted so hard for him (and i still have THAT image of him somewhere with me) but y'all would be such a cute couple!!! napping together and going on cute dates and just,,, yeah.
FCKN KUROO 'cause he'd be able to match your smarts and he'd appreciate you being a beautiful, intelligent, and sassy queen!!! and also height difference ahem. but yeah. idk he just suits you so well bro lmao especially bc y'all are both smart + the biggest clowns ever making the most horrible puns and being a menace together
anyways hope you're having a good day bro!!! love ya lots mwah my bromeo <3
first i should clarify for those that don't know, this 'napoleon' in question is NOT the irl napoleon but rather a napoleon from an otome game called ike//men vampire where various historical figures are resurrected as vampires and you the player get to date them. they watered down and uwufied a lot of vampire!napoleon's traits and completely removed the more controversial aspects of irl napoleon's,, character and history
first of all i love how 2/3 of these are "HEIGHT DIFFERENCE" you're really out here calling me short bro KASNJKA (/LH IT'S FINE I ENJOY THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE TROPE AS YOU KNOW!!) also not you being the 4th person to call me out on my banri brainrot anjdnsk
OMI-KUN?? FOR ME?? CAN I?? PRETTY PLEASE?? 🥺 he's so,, aughhhh he's so perfect. like actually perfect. banri is my number 1 but realistically speaking if i had to pick someone from a3 to be my boyfriend -> husband it'd be omi 1000% (tsuzuru and kazu are close behind) he's so ATTRACTIVE he's kind, he's caring, he's sweet, he can cook and clean and do domestic things, he's respectful, he's good at handicrafts so he'd make the cutest gifts ever, and in my vision he's extremely romantic too,, he'd whisper sweet nothings in your ear except they're not "nothing" they have ✨SUBSTANCE✨ bc he actually means what he says and says what he means!! and he fits my personal ideal of male beauty: he's tall and fit hhnngh oh to be held in those big beefy arms, to rest my cheek against his massive boobas 😩 and this is kinda spicy but ahem y'know how he was the 'crazy wolf' back during his biker gang days? i like to think that wild wolf side still exists and will emerge in private if you provoke him enough,, drive that man wild and see where he takes you GOODBYEEEEE TIME TO GET OMI D- *a meteorite obliterates my room killing me instantly* anyway i've had my doubts about whether i would be good enough for mr fushimi but if you, my broest of bros, think he and i would make a power couple who am i to question the wisdom of your vision 😌👌🏻
IKE/VAMP NAPO WHEW man that takes me back to 2020-early 2022 when that man lived rent-free in my mind 😩 he's still my ideal of "man written by a woman" such a gentleman, so romantic and so loving and so perfect even if he himself doesn't realise it (but that's what makes him beautiful *to the tune of that 1D song you know the one*) AND THAT PIC I KNOW WHICH ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUTTT NAPO 4TH BIRTHAY CG YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS, THE MOMENT THE ICON THE TRENDSETTER FRFR 😩😩
KUROO that was unexpected but that'd be so fun!! he and i would def share one braincell we use it to make either the biggest breakthroughs known to mankind or to debate whether or not water indeed has layers and whether the water at the bottom of the bottle/bowl feels sad that no one's drinking it akndjksnsd

Evening conversations - NaPo day #2
Metamorphosis of Narcissus by Salvador Dali Evening conversations White noise vigorously shaken over a splitting ache.Wide eyes, rolled up sleeves, sitting cross-legged on the carpet.The pick-me cakes with ornamental creamy dresses winking from behind the glass.A tiny, hungry organ scurrying the grass.A mock-up quiet house, constructed from sorbet.An over-achieving bee delivering New Age…

Riordan have had a habit of leaning more into fan services than actual good plot since the first series ended and I'm honest to God fucking scared that the show is going to diminish Luke Castellan's depth as a character because of all the fucking fandom wars surrounding his character. Don't make him shallow. Make the antagonist just as interesting as the protagonist in the show. And cast an actor that is as incredibly talented as the lead dude.

actually, the most powerful big three trio is percy, jason and hazel. percy defeated a god (ares) by himself, jason been trying to survive on his own since he was 2 years old and defeated a titan (krios) by HAND TO HAND COMBAT by himself, and hazel defeated a primordial (gaea) by herself and then survived 7 DECADES in the underworld without going insane. by herself. AGAIN.

My #1 post of 2022
I will never get tired of saying the Merlin Core 4 are phenomenal actors. Colin Morgan's skills are insane it's almost criminal he isn't mainstream in film and tv. His understanding of the script and portrayal of emotions are always so entertaining to watch. Katie McGrath is always a scene-stealer no matter the project. Angel Coulby's range is so underrated, you could give that woman an assignment and put her in front of a camera and it's a guarantee that she'd deliver. Bradley James had the charm of a male lead, and also has the personality to be an amazing entertainer.

4, 22, and 53 for getting to know my dear! And bc fuck it, for spotify wrapped as well
double feature!!, i say, as i screech excitedly and claw at the walls of my enclosure
4. what are you looking forward to? well the silly low stakes answer is me and some friends are doing an ex themed cocktail party later this week, maybe friday or saturday - which is a trend in which we make special drinks about a shitty someone from our pasts and gossip about it the high stakes silly answer is late february/march i get to figure out if i'm getting into law school after all so finger crosses stars drawn please keep me in your 11:11 toughts if you happen to do them
song to go with this one: right where you left me - taylor swift. favorite lyrics: i'm right where/ i cause no harm mind my business/ if our love died young I can't bear witness
22. description of crush. she's an english lit major and we matched a few weeks ago on tinder, were supposed to go out but had to cancel, i was broke and she was busy. we didn't get to go out but she keeps posting these snippets of her day in her instagram stories, she's passionate about lovecraftian horror and plays dnd, and her hair looks so soft and she got a new tattoo on her arm of some kind of really cool monster and is really cute with her cats
song to go with this one: don't stop me now - queen. favorite lyrics: i'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course/ i am a satellite I'm out of control
53. 5 things that make me happy 1 getting physical affection from the gremlins. lorena has this thing in the morning where she'll climb the couch and keep meowing until i deign to sit beside her and we can have our very sacred girl time. prue is less physically affectionatte but she will burrow underneath the covers with me at night and sometimes try to bite bite bite my leg or any other body part near but some other times it will be just very cozy kitty leg tangling. napo will climb atop my chest the most and it just feels every bit like i've been chosen by the gods every fucking time it happens 2 when people i like send me things they didn't have to it makes my day and then i vibrate out of my skin a little like oh they like me they think of me when i'm not there holy shit. 3 when i get to feel like the comment i just left in a fic comment exactly what i'm feeling about it, like i can somehow throw it lovingly at the author like SEE SEE THIS IS WHAT IT MADE TO ME HERE'S SOME THOUGHTS AND THOUGHTFUL INSIGHT 4 when i feel pretty. pretty pretty thinking lyrics in my head as i put on my crooked crooked liquid lipstick. when i get the eyeliner right, or my hair feels good, get a specially weird earring and i get to leave home feeling confident and pretty and all giddy with it 5 some good fucking food. there's something so viscerally human about eating something that makes you go hmmmmmmmmmmmasyudbuhijqwpehdwemunch
song to go with this one: i know places - taylor swift. favorite lyrics: just grab my hand and don't ever drop it/ my love/ they are the hunters, we are the foxes/ and we run

4 years, 40 facts about me loving napo... let's go 🏃🏻‍♀️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...or as @leonscape called it, 40 "Mopoleon" facts?! (picrew link)
the date of our "anniversary", June 19th, is one day after the date of the battle of Waterloo 💀
both our given names are of Italian origin
we're both leo zodiac signs
our birthdays are 8 days apart, in the same month
he's my first otome route ever played
i've only played his route once, in July 2019
i've never seen his dramatic ending
my first impression of him on a teaser tweet of ikevamp EN was that he looks like an asshole, and I didn't like his looks either...
my falling for him was utterly illogical as despite these thoughts I put him on my phone wallpaper a few days later (still before the release of ikevamp EN)
as of right now ao3 says he appears in 59 of my posted works: the total number of fics I have published with him is higher as a few of those are stand-alones in a multichapter fic (napoleon bday prompts 2019 +9, yumeweek 2020 +5, mini requests +4, headcanons +11 ) ...he appears in about 1/3 of all my fics!
we share a hobby of reading biographies! the official ikevamp character sheets state it as his hobby
our height difference is 18 cm
the @xxsycamore blog exists solely because of him, as well as my passion for writing - I started this blog because I wanted to express my love in some kind of creative way, as previously (and for the longest time) I thought my medium would be art instead of writing
despite that, my first ever posted fic is not with him but with Arthur!
I've always loved languages but he had influence over my choice of learning especially french in uni. It's hell but I don't regret it at all
I have a playlist with sleepy-themed songs for him 🥺
birds are my favorite animals (any kind) and he has a pet eagle!!
our mbti personality types are a so-called perfect match! infp + enfj
I don't like black-haired, blue-eyed men because of him, it was my type before him too! (not many such ikemens around but I have a handful of faves like that from other media)
as the fictional napoleon bonaparte is light years away from the historical figure, I thought I wouldn't be interested in learning about him - until I ended up reading multiple books on him, the thickest of which 680 pages... while I don't mix the two in my head, the napoleonic era history (+ russian empire history) is still pretty cool to know imo!
there's hardly any writer around here who hasn't received a napoleon request from me at least once... I'm so sorry...
it is implied in the game that napo has kissed boys (they were taking turns waking him up and they all know of his habit......) which gives me enough reason to headcanon him as bi....like me 🥺
I really suck at completing the bday creation challenges I host for him, as last year I did 0 prompts and the year before that 2....but in 2019 I did 10!
I love making bday gifts. I love birthdays. I don't have the exact number but last year a lot of characters received a bday fic from me but not napo 💀 partly because I was shadowbanned back then!
the only real tradition I have when it comes to his bday is to make homemade crepes since it's his favorite food! but my favorite part is eating them...
I still haven't watched the movie "Napoleon & Me"...
I don't have much napo merch, but I do have the Naplushieon doll which is plenty
I was still in highschool (11th grade) when I fell for him 🥺🥺🥺 it feels like ages ago
I love the song written for the ikevamp stage play and sung by his voice actor Nobunaga Shimazaki, "Lucida", so much you can even find it and play it on my blog... recently some kind soul uploaded the whole version on youtube (I've been waiting for so long....) and I haven't been the same since
my dream napo merch is the clothes hanger with his neck and face so that I can hang my silly little sundresses on him (I'm going to make it on my own actually, just watch)
after having so many random fic ideas for him that will never see the light of day, I accepted the facts at last and now I feel so much better and more chill
I'm currently working on fanart series where I try to post one tablet-drawn art of him every month... I have trouble keeping them simple as desired sometimes but I'm having lots of fun while learning (I still consider myself fairly new to drawing with my tablet)
once I wrote a death anniversary fic for napo!
the best napo song i've discovered so far is Wings by Su!YoON!
I don't know. anything. about his sequel. i just know the cgs. not that is hard to avoid spoilers LMAO
my most favorite napo cg is the 5th bday one (where they're in a field of roses) (it was on my phone's background for a very long time)
my most favorite napo card...that's a trick question but I think the one that is on the left banner in my blog (desktop view)
yes, yes I do want to go to Corsica one day what about it. I have a lot of other dream trip destinations too!
yes, I do love Napoleon cake (It's a russian recipe) (it was my bday cake in 2020)... but so do I love a whole lot of other cakes...!
Fact number 40 is that I love Napoleon a normal amount 😇 nono listen!! I do talk a lot about him, and here I tried compilating facts that are not too cheesy: believe it or not there are days I don't think about him, ok! I never pressure myself to get all the event bonus stories, or to always have a fic ready for him... in a world where im a worrywart about anything and everything, he's my safe place? my chill place? And if I begin to think about the gigantic mass of things surrounding him that are exactly aligning with what I love, with what comforts me, with what traits im looking for in a person, i'm going to get dizzy. So let's end this here with me saying, ily so much Napoleon 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 im such a nunuche sometimes but im your nunuche ‼️‼️

🎂🎉NAPOLEON BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION 2023🎉🎂
Greetings, fellow Napo-lovers! Our favorite sleepyhead's birthday is right around the corner, so I put together a little celebration, both for content creators and non-content creators alike!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rules are simple: Every day from the beginning of the month to Napoleon's birthday, August 15th, I'm going to post a question for you to answer in your preferred way - via reblog, reply, or by making your own post tagged #napoleon birthday celebration. Every three days, the theme changes - and each theme is a prompt that you may use for all your creative needs. Don't be afraid of being late to the party - there are no deadlines here!
Standard rules for content creators under the cut. There you can also find a typed list of the questions and prompts.
Have fun celebrating our ex-emperor's birthday!~
DAILY QUESTIONS POSTS: [Day 1] [Day 2] [Day 3] [Day 4] [Day 5] [Day 6][Day 7][Day 8][Day 9][Day 10][Day 11][Day 12][Day 13][Day 14][Day 15]
any form of art is welcome! sketches or fully rendered art, ficlets or multichapter fics, collages and edits, everything you can think about!
you can choose between using the standard prompt, using the dialogue line, or using them both.
Rating, Genre, Pairings, etc. are all up to you! So is the interpretation of the prompts. If fluff is where your heart takes you for prompt 2 [NOT ALONE], then do that - if you'd rather make it angsty, that's more than alright! :) Make sure to put content warnings where needed!
there will be no masterlist for this challenge. Which means, no deadline - don't stress over the posting days and don't be afraid to be late. This is all about appreciating Napoleon, after all, and it's always the right time to do that!
Don't stress over completing the whole challenge, you're perfectly fine participating with just one work - and for that matter, you can also create multiple ones if you have more than one idea. They also don't have to be in order!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi Lyn! Thank you so much for answering my IkeVamp ask a few days ago, I appreciate you! I’ve had fun playing the last few days, drew a very handsome Napoleon card, and a 5* Mozart which, while not my fav, definitely helps when battling :)
What routes do you think I should read after Napoleon’s? What are some of your favorite cards and events? I want to learn more about what you think of the game :) (I’m drawn to Isaac, Vincent, and Theo’s routes after Napo right now!)
The one thing about IkeVamp rn is that it feels slower than IkePri, but that’s likely because I’ve played the latter for longer and I’m just starting out in Vamp.
Hi, anon! Sorry if I took so long to answer your questions. I was saving some pics of my fav ikevamp cards :D
OMG you got a Napoleon? Congrats! This idiot doesn’t wanna come home anymore. I draw for his bday banner, but it was an utter disaster lmao
Hmm. Depends. If you don’t mind getting spoilers, do whichever you feel like it xD. But Shakespeare, Comte, Dazai and Sebastian were the latest routes. When I started playing ikevamp, Napoleon, Leonardo, Arthur, and Vincent were the routes available at that time.
If you’re looking for soft boys, you’ll probably like Isaac, Vincent, Comte. Some people think Vincent’s route is kinda boring and I understand them because compared to other routes there was not much going on. But as I like Vincent, I had a great time reading it. Vincent is one of the few routes I already did both ends. I prefer the romantic one for him.
I think the pace of Theo’s route is the opposite of Vincent’s due to their personality. I read Theo before Vincent, which was not the right order. Imo, it didn’t make a difference. But I think it’s important to play both brothers' routes if you want to get all details about their past lifes.
If you wanna get to know some tsunderes, then definitely Mozart and Theo. Mozart’s route is very underrated if you ask me. Mozart is my type of tsundere.
If you like slow burn romances, Jean and Sebastian are my favorite routes. But there is also Dazai, which is a very intriguing character. I also did Sebastian twice. I prefer the romantic route for him. But his dramatic is very interesting as well because you get more info about his past.
There are only 2 routes in ikevamp that I don’t wanna read again cuz I didn’t like: Theo and Comte’s. I will not explain why I didn’t like them cuz Idk if I can do it without giving spoilers lol. But that's just a matter of preferences. I know people who loved those routes.
I’m not that good in remembering the name of the events hahah, but without a doubt, ‘your wish is my command’ is my favorite story event. I also like the revival that's an AU where MC reincarnated and the boys are trying to find her again.
Favorite cards? Hmmm… There are so many pretty cards. And I didn’t get most of them lol. But the favorites I got so far are these:

IKEVAMP SUITORS AS STREAMERS (PART 1)
idk i just thought it’d be a cool funky idea. naturally this is a modern AU given the premise, and if you’ve read my other modern AU headcanons (modern day professions | insta pages part 1 | insta pages part 2) you might notice some similar ideas being carried forward here too. i started this like a week ago and was planning on doing all the suitors (including the unholy trinity, a first for me) but ehh i got lazy and an idea for a self-indulgent napo fic struck me so i’m posting this to clear it from my drafts (bc if it stays there i’ll probably forget about it like i did with my other 50+ drafts 💔), and if i feel like it i’ll do the rest in the future <3 this is largely crack please don’t take it seriously sakfksdfs
(suitors included: napoleon, mozart, leonardo, arthur, vincent, theo, dazai & isaac that was about as far as i got lmao)
gonna tag a few people: @kissmetwicekissmedeadly​ for napo content, @yanderepuck​ for dazai koi pond content
[HCs under the cut!]
NAPOLEON
his streams 100% center around cooking and eating for sure, though probably 90% of his viewers are less there for the food being made but rather the SNACK that the streamer himself is (he’s unintentionally thirst-baiting by wearing a button-down shirt with the top two buttons undone showing off those glorious Moobies and his sleeves rolled up to the elbows like hELLO 😩)
he likes cooking classic corsica dishes bc they remind him of his childhood. while he explains the steps and ingredients to use, he also likes sharing stories, like his first time eating stuzaprezi, the dishes that remind him of his childhood, his nunuche’s ‘sweet adorable’ reactions to his cooking, stuff like that
besides that, he also likes trying out new recipes his viewers recommend and tasting the final product, giving a detailed review about the flavour, texture, prep process etc. he’s honest in his review; if something isn’t to his taste buds, he’ll just say so outright. but if he does like something, he’ll grin and muse about, “hm, not bad. maybe i should cook this more in the future. would you guys like that?” 
(the chat responds with a resounding “YES”, though whether they really care about the food itself or if it’s his charming boyish grin that cast a spell on them is up for debate)
very chill vibes all-around. he’s quite the comfort streamer even if he doesn’t realise it. when he doesn’t have to watch the stove or focus on chopping/mixing stuff, he goes through the chat and tries to respond to as many people as possible. sometimes they tell him about their troubles, and he’ll offer such good advice and emotional support that his chat jokingly calls him their big brother, much to his embarrassment (he’s secretly happy about this, though)
given how much he cares for children and their survival in this world, he does monthly charity streams where he matches all donations from the chat euro for euro, and then donates the final sum to orphanages, schools, and children’s welfare nonprofit organisations
MOZART
honestly? he initially didn’t care for streaming, seeing it as a waste of time and energy that could be better spent on writing new compositions and refining existing ones
but one day he hit a musician’s block, and decided, “fuck it, it’s not like i have anything to lose anyway.” so he started a twitch account and started streaming himself just banging away on the piano (melodically, and with great precision of course, he would never do anything as uncouth as slamming his piano with no rhyme or rhythm) in hopes that somehow it would spark some inspiration in him
his first stream instantly went viral. unbeknownst to the internet, he was casually playing a particularly complicated piece of his and music nerds went nuts wondering how he’s doing it so naturally when even their instructors, who’ve been honing their craft for over 20 years, still struggle to play that piece smoothly even with a score in front of them, yet for him it’s nothing—his fingers are just gliding across the keys like they have a life of their own
he was perplexed by this “bizarre, unsettling, chaotic phenomenon of the internet” but deep down the mostly, if overwhelmingly, positive response he got finally sparked some inspiration for a new piece. he also decided to continue streaming but on an irregular basis AKA whenever he’d hit a block in composing 
as part of preparation for big performances, he occasionally streams himself practising various pieces, though he never says that he’s rehearsing and neither does he play all his performance pieces on stream because he doesn’t want to spoil things for people who will be attending
doesn’t interact often with the chat because he wants to focus on Dem Tunes, but when he does he’s adorably tsundere about it like, “you thought that was a masterpiece? hmph you must either be rather dull or lacking refinement in music to think that was a masterpiece. ... still, i suppose your words have not offended me, at least.” but you can tell from the subtle blush on his face and the smile he’s very obviously trying to cover with a scowl that he appreciates the compliments
LEONARDO
another chill comfort streamer whose fanbase is largely there for Thirst-Quenching reasons (he’s got that ‘tall, dark, and handsome’ thing going on AND in his streams he proves he’s very proficient with his hands so 👀)
usually streams himself tinkering with or straight-up inventing stuff with the most random shit
he’d be like “okay cara, let’s see what we’ve got today. three empty toilet rolls, a half-rusted pipe, two soda cans—yeah i can work with this.” and somehow he ends up with an e-bicycle that runs on solar power and can also dispense juice on the side or some wild-ass shit 
and the thing is, he’s multi-tasking the entire time. he’d be reading the chat, answering questions and giving advice, while his hands work with a mind of their own on whatever the Project Of The Week is
for fun, he starts a challenge where every month he gets his viewers to suggest the most random, seemingly useless objects to create stuff from, and he picks three ideas from a hat to work with on stream (because of this, his streams can go on for an average of like 4 hours per stream. his longest stream was nearly 10 hours long though he did doze off a few times)
also does sleep aid ASMR on the side, an idea he got from arthur—except in his case, he’s genuinely sleeping and snoring right into the crispy mic comte bought for him (he names those streams ‘come sleep with me, cara’)
ARTHUR
like mozart, he streams when he’s hit a creative block. my take is that arthur has two streaming channels for two different purposes
on one channel, he does ASMR boyfriend audio stuff. to appeal to a wide range of listeners, there’s plenty of variety to choose from. there are the cute fluffy audios, the angsty ones, the suggestive ones that he can post on twitch, and the very spicy ones he puts on patreon 👀👀👀
a good majority of his audios are either based on scrapped ideas/scenes/dialogue lines from his works, or ideas for future works that he wants to test out on his audience first to see if it’s something they like. if a particular audio has gotten especially popular among his viewers, he’ll do another stream as Normal Arthur explaining the inspiration behind it and just in general chatting and flirting with his viewers
the other channel is for gaming streams. he’s quite partial to strategy-based and mystery games because he can flex his Big Brain Thinking, though he’s also fond of Telltale’s games because he finds it fascinating how each choice made affects the storyline (in fact, sometimes he snaps out of his writing funk after a Telltale stream and immediately starts writing again the moment the camera stops rolling)
of course arthur wouldn’t be arthur if there wasn’t some element of competition in his streams. his ‘among us’ streams are among (pun unintended) the most popular in his catalogue because of the sheer Chaotic Energy of those streams. his viewers live for him and theo screeching at each other in voice-chat accusing each other of being the impostor. there was even one stream he correctly sussed out that vincent and theo were the impostors within like 2 rounds, and the screaming match he and theo got into inspired many memes, fan edits, tiktok sounds, and youtube animations 💀
for nostalgia’s sake he also occasionally streams playing fireboy and watergirl with theo—and as described in this post where i got into more detail about the... gaming process, it goes about as well or as chaotic as you’d expect, adding on to an ever-growing cesspool of memes and fan edits
VINCENT
i said it before and i’ll say it again: bob 👏🏻 ross 👏🏻 vibes 👏🏻 whether he’s doing traditional paint-on-paper or doing digital art, the wholesome energy he brings to his streams never changes
his voice alone is enough to take away any tension in your body, and seeing him bring a blank canvas to life with splashes of colour is healing for the soul
he’ll talk about pretty much anything while drawing. sometimes he’ll talk about his day, about something that made him happy, the inspiration behind the art, updates about his younger brother or his pet racoon, the channel’s mascot
speaking of brush, sometimes he’ll pitter-patter in on vincent’s streams, and vincent will drop whatever he’s doing to pick him up to let the viewers see him like “everyone, say hello to Brush! he was a very good boy today, he helped me wash my paintbrushes this morning! 🌻 Brush, go on, say hi to my friends!” and he’ll wave one of Brush’s little paws at the camera 🥺
(yes, he refers to his viewers specifically as ‘friends’, because he genuinely enjoys chatting with them and showing them his art, so merely referring to them as ‘fans’ or ‘viewers’ or ‘the chat’ feels too cold and impersonal for sweet angel vincent)
one time, a young shy budding artist sent him a drawing they did of Brush, saying it was their first time in a long time showing anyone their art because their friends and art teacher thought their art was bad and their parents were outright dismissive of their artistic dreams. vincent, being the sweetheart he is, showered their art with compliments, pointing out the details he liked. and all of it was genuine, because as his channel motto goes, “all art is good art. if you put your heart and soul into it, and you had fun making it, then it’s good art. please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, okay?”
in fact, he was so saddened by this story that he started a ‘Show Vincent Your Art’ event where every month (though as his channel gained popularity, he had to make this a fortnightly event so he could respond to as many people as possible) his viewers would send him their art and he’d give them feedback on stream (though if they’d prefer he kept their art private he would reply to them in DMs instead). praise is a given, but if (and ONLY if) they specifically request for it he would also give constructive feedback to help them refine their technique. and no matter what, no matter how long he’s been streaming or how tired he is, he’ll always ends his streams with his channel motto, and his viewers would type it into the chat alongside him too
THEO
let’s be real, he doesn’t stream very often or on any sort of regular basis because he works so. damn. much.
but when he does, it’s to let off steam especially after dealing with infuriating clients all day. he’s quite fond of playing FPS games like valorant and apex legends while talking shit about the klootzak at work or how much he fucking despises NFTs and wishes all NFT-buyers a very “go to hell bitch”
rumour has it that the higher-ups in the art industry have a mark on him because of how often and how bluntly he talks about the dark side of the art industry. when budding artists in the chat ask him about how to get into the industry and how to make it big, he’s extremely honest—to the point you could almost call it callous—about the struggles they’ll face and the exploitations that go on in the industry that others like to cover up. 
he’s not like vincent who preaches “all art is good art as long as you put your heart into it and you enjoyed it 🌻” (which makes sense since vincent is focused on the creative side of it while theo regularly deals with the business side of it). so if he thinks someone isn’t cut out for the industry, he’ll tell them straight to their face, which has unfortunately caused more than few shattered dreams and controversy in his fanbase. but all of this harshness stems from a place of kindness, because he’s seen far too many young naïve artists get manipulated into shitty exploitive deals, and he wants to save as many others as possible from similar fates. over time, most of his viewers come to understand this
on a lighter note, he occasionally (and begrudgingly, and only because arthur told him he couldn’t do it so damn right was he going to prove that perverted four-eyes wrong) does sweets-tasting streams. he’s pretty curt about it like, “this mochi, it’s obviously sweet, look at the fucking ingredients printed on the side of the wrapping. hm, not bad, though. guess i could get used to it.” but the happy, childlike smile on his face as he devours the sweets is what gives him away (and also steals more than a few of his viewers’ hearts)
DAZAI
it goes without saying that dazai has the most CHAOTIC and eclectic channel (seriously it’s a wonder he gets any writing done when he can spend like 8 hours streaming bunta flitting around his room)
he started out with like 30 subscribers when he was doing 3-hour streams of his koi pond (HC for dazai’s koi pond here i’m gonna manifest dazai’s koi pond into being canon if it’s the last thing i do) and nothing much, but he gained like 10k+ subscribers overnight when his 4-hour stream titled “JAPANESE MAN CLIMBS AS MANY WINDOWS AS HE CAN IN PARIS BEFORE HE GETS CAUGHT” went viral bc how?? did he do it?? and how did he manage to stream for 4 hours straight before someone noticed this funky dude climbing windows in broad daylight??
though he still stays true to his koi pond roots, he has since then branched out into other things
his day-in-the-life streams are a classic in his fandom bc they’re never what you expect. he’s always doing some wild shit like replacing all the socks in isaac’s drawer with apples and hiding under his bed for 2 hours (yes, all on stream) waiting for isaac to return and capture his reaction, barging in on arthur’s streams to bug him about another game of chess while arthur is in the middle of accusing theo of being the impostor, stealing koi from public ponds to put in his own pond while running from the park authorities— (he’s probably been bailed out of jail by comte a few times lbr)
he also does ASMR audios except unlike arthur’s boyfriend audios, dazai’s are oddly specific like “it’s 2 a.m and you’re sitting on a dock feeling weighed down by the burden of being alive while the sea breeze blows in your hair like a premonition, though of what you do not know, when you hear footsteps creeping up behind you with the scent of something musky and unidentifiable wafting in the air... and it turns out to be...?” but they’re also strangely comforting despite the odd premise?? it’s his voice more than anything else, softly whispering in your ear lulling you to sleep
has an ongoing sims series. each and every character has fully fleshed out backstories, most of which are surprisingly dark considering how light-hearted and chaotic his other content is (most of his viewers suspect that said stories are more personal than he’s letting on, but of course he’s not gonna kiss and tell)
despite the unpredictable and chaotic energy of his streams, he does give genuinely good (if slightly... eccentric) advice to his viewers. “perhaps you would like to go outside and befriend a little birdie. who knows? he might just listen to you and tell you something the demons in your mind won’t let you hear otherwise” has surprisingly worked for more than a few of his viewers
ISAAC
you wouldn’t expect that shy apple boi streams, would you? trust him, it wasn’t his idea. it was napoleon’s—he figured streaming could help isaac gradually come out of his shell and overcome his shyness, and the best part is that he doesn’t even have to show his face. if it were anyone else isaac would’ve tossed the idea into the garbage immediately, but he could tell his surrogate big brother even if he’s too embarrassed to admit it had his best interests at heart, so he decided to give it a shot
and so, behold: isaac, the v-tuber physics and math prof streamer
(napoleon helped him set up his account and vincent helped to design his v-tubesona 💖)
fr, he literally gives weekly lectures on twitch about his latest research like he’s at a conference
he only has like 10 regular viewers, half of whom are the mansion residents, but that’s fine with him. too much of an audience would make him uncomfortable anyway
gradually his channel starts becoming more popular when he takes questions from his viewers (most of whom are high school and uni students struggling with math and physics)—they start affectionately calling him “crunch time prof”, “the prof we don’t deserve but need”, “best big brain science boi” much to his embarrassment (but secretly he’s happy that he’s able to help them <3)
the only issue is that sometimes in the process of answering a question, he ends up going on tangents, pointing out flaws in the current syllabus and how outdated it is compared to new research that has been published in the recent winter edition of the so-and-so journal of so-and-so, though the research design in that one particular study in the 5th issue had some glaring design flaws so if he were to do that experiment on his own he’d do it like this and he’d use this so-and-so method to quantitatively evaluate the results etc yada yada yada
by the time he’s finished his tangent he realises there’s still like 10 questions waiting for him and he’d only covered 3 but he needs to end the stream because it’s dinner time (it’s okay, though, most of his viewers find his random tangents adorable anyway)
(and yes dazai has crashed his lectures on several occasions, bearing ‘good tidings’ in the form of juicy red apples. “i apologise for his intrusion, he really can be such a nuisance,” isaac mutters to his audience, but they can tell that whenever dazai doesn’t interrupt his streams he gets a little sad and lonely)

Day Four /// NaPoWri----NO
Ok, on Day Four of NaPoWriMo 2022 we were invited to write a poem that was a poetry prompt.
I recall that one of the other NaPo participants (with a day job as a teacher or lecturer, I think?) commented in the to-and-fro of poem-postings and poem-responses that they were frustrated with the level of detail that people assumed was necessary for a prompt. I mean, I think the comment was more to the point than that - something like "those poetry prompts actually aren't..." I nodded sagely (wondering guiltily whether my own poem was transgressive and knowing, of course, it was) - and only now can I admit to myself that I'm not completely sure what the other person was getting at.
I suppose the comment comes from a viewpoint in which a prompt is some kind of one-liner... write a poem about going on holiday... write about something that irritates you... write about what an alien would think was weird if they watched you going about your day...
The kinds of prompts we were producing were much more detailed than that - more like a set of instructions for putting a piece of furniture together or a cake recipe. First do this... then that... next do this... finally that. Voila, poem.
That's EXACTLY what my own piece had been like and the thing that made it more "pome-ish" if not more "prompt-ish" was that for reasons which made sense at the time, I then turned my poem-list into a blackout poem, striking out all the words that were not made up of five letters.
Why yes, this was during Peak Wordle Mania - why do you ask? ;)
So I'm going to have to have a little think about what - if anything - I'm going to do differently, writing-wise.
In the meantime, here's the over-instructional, probably not prompt-like activity I used in my pantoum-writing workshop the other day:
the aim is to write a 4 verse pantoum (=16 lines in 4x quatrains)
each line in a pantoum repeats twice so this means writing 8 lines
FIRST - write down all the campaigny / protesty words you can think of - the words that describe all the causes that you're invested in (whether that's to support or to oppose them)
Got this set of words? Ah, good. Bow respectfully, then set them aside. [These words are too "known", too much like intellectual short-cuts, alternatives to thinking from first principles.]
NOW write about what's important to you - but as far as possible without ANY reference to the words that have been soft excluded.
FINALLY, from this free-writing, select 8 sentences and fit them into the pantoum pattern (example below) to make a starting point first draft poem. [Which will certainly need revisions later.]
In my version of this exercise, I used "sentence stems" to get myself going - but I don't think these are essential, so nodding to the person who was annoyed by over-specific instructions, I didn't require them.
But you could use them if you wanted to...
Mine were - I wish / I loathe / I value / I resist.
And the raw material sentences would fit into a pantoum as follows:
v.1 A - I wish... B - I loathe... C - I value... D I resist...
v.2 B - I loathe... E - I wish... D I resist... F I loathe...
v.3 E - I wish... G - I value... F I loathe... H - I resist...
v.4 G - I value... C - I value... H - I resist... A - I wish...
