Forgotten Birthday
It's August 3rd
I call to tell you happy birthday
But you don't answer the phone
I wrap your gift
But it sits unopened
I decorate
And make your favourite meal
But both are unseen, unappreciated
I bake your favourite cake
And light the candles
But the cake's uneaten
And the candles burn out
It's been four months
But it's only hit me today.
Because it's your birthday
But you're no longer here

First Kofi post and First Krita design! I fully did this in less than 30 mins cause I didn’t bring my mouse and I don’t own a graphics tablet so I could only use my trackpad. Also realised halfway through that my colour scheme didn’t match my theme but c’est la vie. I’ll plan it out properly next time!

@ reo writers who seem to think Reo hates the idea of working at his dad's company because he hates business and/or finds it soulless, soft reminder that he canonically reads the nikkei magazine and business books for fun, discusses the stock market on a casual outing with friends, has his own stocks, his favourite app is the stocks app, talks about investments like he's already done it before, and literally plans out his future career as a soccer player as a businessman would set up a 5 years plan.
He clearly doesn't hate the field. In fact, I'd say the opposite is true—he enjoys business a lot, clearly read and practiced it to an extent, and knows what he's talking about. In other words, he's good at it, and that's why he doesn't want a career in it. The whole field represents exactly what he loathes, things that are easy to obtain. Not only does the field lack the thrill of a real challenge to him cause he already mastered it easily, but it's also something he would just as easily step into by virtue of being born into the Mikage bloodline, as the heir of an empire handed down to him, and thus not something he'd earn with his own hands

i think 95% of actual qwat au Sick Days (i.e. calling nathan ford like "eliot and i are taking the day off due to unforeseen medical issues, sorry about your con, do not call back do not text") are eliot waking up to Full Body Regret like "hm so it turns out if you don't let your shit heal, that time you spectacularly destroyed your knee in 1999 WILL team up with that time you ruined your back in 2006 to simultaneously drop-kick you into hell once in a while." uh oh
so eliot's like "toss me a heating pad i'm gonna take a tylenol and suck it up" and quinn's like. "i have the heating pad. i have the tylenol. i also have your phone and i'm calling ford to tell him you don't exist for the day :3"
"no—"
"you're gonna take a relaxing bath i'm gonna do that massage thing you showed me and he's gonna fuck off, for the day"
"i don't th—"
"shhh it's ringing take your tylenol <3"

I cleared Turnabout Corner last night!
It seemed about average length as far as second cases go. I really enjoyed the second trial day because it had so many great moments. From Apollo’s perception, to the true culprit’s reveal and then the scene at the end between the Kitakis - undergarment snatching aside, I think this was a good case with a nicely written story and a conclusion that made sense for all the case-specific characters.
Beanix is still a mystery in many ways. I don’t like how cagey he is but I also recognize that he wasn’t the most open person to begin with in the original trilogy. To everyone who says his being secretive is because of Dahlia’s betrayal in Trials and Tribulations, I think you’re absolutely right.
I wasn’t sure about Trucy at first but I’ve warmed up to her and so has Apollo. I pretty much know the spoiler that these two are related but I wonder if it ever comes up in the text or if it remains subtext because they have the same ability.
Klavier, on the other hand surprised me because as early as his introduction case, he started cooperating with Apollo (when Phoenix and Miles had to be under extreme stress in Rise from the Ashes and Farewell, My Turnabout to work together) and they found the truth! I am a Klapollo believer now.
You know what I miss from the trilogy and the Investigations games though?
The after-case still images.
I haven’t seen any so far. Maybe one will show up in the third or fourth case? We’ll see.

Here, sit in my lap - Poem
I have always been the one left behind
the forgotten child
the expendable friend
the one left out when you're one seat short
I have learnt to build a fortress out of my isolation
learnt to fuel a furnace with my heartbreak
Like Clark and Elsa, I built a haven in frozen barren lands
I thought this was the best I could get
wanted sometimes but not always
only in small doses
only when convenient
But then I met them
and I learnt that real friendship and love
meant they took me as I am
not in digestible bite sized pieces
but the sweet ambrosia and the tough meat
They infiltrated my fortress
filled it with laughter and love
doused the toxic furnace
taught me to warm myself with joy
Now I stand beside, not behind
arms linked so no one gets lost
never forgotten
never expendable
the unconditional love that says
there's not enough seats, here sit in my lap
