Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live: Kirakira My☆Design (AD+DMF) Chapter 2 English Translation
didnt proofread at alllll. this chapters unlocked after ch 15 of the rl story. also i kinda gave up on momo puns (though i did sneak a rly horrendous pluot pun in there. like its BAD)
Chapter 2: The Evolving Seventh Coords
Momo: Momomomo… Where are we!? This must be a peachy sweet dream… Yes, definitely a dream!!!
??? (Mia): Kyahaha! This pink youkai is kinda funny!
Momo: I… I’m not a youkai!!!
??? (Mia): Ahaha! You’re a riot! Hey, do some more funny stuff!!
Momo: Grrr–!! You won’t trick me into joking around! There’s more important things to deal with!!!
??? (Mia): Kyahahahaha!!!
??? (Hye-in): Wait a sec, Mia~!!! What are you doing? Why’d you suddenly run off like that?
Mia: Hye-in, look at this! I found a pink youkai!
Hye-in: A… youkai???
Mia: It’s so cute, right? Though its eyes are creeping me out a bit…
Momo: Mo… momo!?
Mia: It’s super funny too, it talks and everything! C’mon, say something funny!
Momo: I’m not a youkai!!! I’m a penguin, Momo!!!
Hye-in: A penguin? Huh, now that I think about it, she does look kinda like Penguin-sensei…
Mia: Huh? You think so???
Hye-in: …Which reminds me, what happened to this girl on the floor? Hey, Mia, you didn’t… kaboom into her, did you?
Mia: No way! She was already on the ground when I got here! Hellooooo~? Are you okay?
Hye-in: …… Oh, phew, she doesn’t seem injured.
Momo: Who are you people, anyway!?
Hye-in: Hm? Oh, I’m Hye-in, it’s nice to meet you!
Mia: Hehe… I am not so insignificant as to need one of these “names” like you people. …After all, you totally know who I am already, right~?
Choice: Oh, gosh! I can’t believe it! You’re… uh… who, again??? / Of course I know!
Mia: Babaaaaaang!!! For real!? For real for real!? You seriously don’t know who I am!? I can’t believe this!!! Waaaaah!!! Listen well then, philistine! I am Pretty Top’s premier Prism Star… Ageha Mia!!! And of course I’m number oooooone!!!
Penguin-sensei: Heeeey! You, the insufferable girl over there!
Mia: Eeeek!!! Penguin-sensei!?!?
Penguin-sensei: Do you really think it’s appropriate to introduce yourself by acting like some kind of narcissistic raging bull!?
Mia: I’m not narcissistic! Owieowieowie,,, ouch!
Penguin-sensei: I thought you’d’ve grown up a bit now that that Grateful Symphonia business was over with…Oh!? Wait, you two… You were… HUUUUH!? Did you follow me here? Hmmmm… Well, you were a great help last time! You there! The girl with the sparkling heart! You put on a pretty impressive show last time! Impressive enough for me to scout you!
Mia: Wh-wha!? This girl’s… a Prism Star…?
Momo: Excuse me… momo… Um… are you… really Penguin-sensei… momo…?
Penguin-sensei: Hm? You wouldn’t happen to be… from Prism World…?
Momo: Y-yes…!!!
Penguin-sensei: Wh-why are you crying all of a sudden!?
Momo: I beg of you! Please don’t let this affect my evaluation! Don’t have me impeached! I can’t survive without access to sweets!
Penguin-sensei: Excuse me!? What in the world are you blabbering on about!?
Momo: Huh? You didn’t come here to sentence me to a life without baked goods?
Penguin-sensei: Of course not! I’ve had my share of mess-ups in your world, too… Which are of course secret!!! They’re juicy secrets too, like–
Mia: Aaaand that’s enough! Stop talking!!!
Penguin-sensei: Gaaaah! The conversation was just getting good! Why are you interrupting!?
Mia: Heh heh heh… If you want to hear the secrets… you’ll have to put on a Prism Show that’ll make my heart skip a beat!
Hye-in: Whaaat? Why should she have to do that?
Mia: Because! Hearing a secret without earning it first is unforgivable! Soooo… if you really are a Star, you should be able to get Penguin-sensei’s approval with your own shine!
Hye-in: But… isn’t this all just so you can see a Prism Show, Mia?
Mia: No no no! That’s totally not what this is about! There’s a very good reason for this! And that reason is… um… super important and real…!
Penguin-sensei: …So it’s like that, hm? You insufferable girl, you!
Mia: Shut upppp! Stop complaining so they can hear the secret sooner… It’s time to start the Prism Show! Kabooooom!!!
(prism show)
Mia: Woooooah!!! That was insaaaaane!!! Your sparkle was intense! But, um… where’d that guitar come from? It was so cool!
Hye-in: Amazing! You must do great Shows like this a lot, huh? What kind of lessons are you doing!? Are you training your abs? Your back? Doing marathons!?
Mia: Calm down there, Hye-in… Before all of these questions, ya gotta ask… Hey! Tell us your name!!! …Gotcha… Player… Player, alright! I’ll remember that from now on! Nice to meetcha, Player! That was a great show! I think you’ve earned the right to listen to Penguin-sensei’s secret to your heart’s content!
Penguin-sensei: I don’t have to wait for permission from an insufferable girl like you!
Mia: Eeeek!!!
Penguin-sensei: Seriously! We could’ve had this over and done with by now… Well, Momo. I went to your world to find out the secret of the Seventh Coords!
Momo: The Seventh Coords!?
Penguin-sensei: Yes, the Seventh Coords… Once the seven Brands come together… Each Brands representative dress, the Seventh Coords, will evolve!!! 
Momo: Evolve…! I’m speachless…! So the Seventh Coords can really change!?
Penguin-sensei: Upon evolving, a strong link will develop within a certain dress… the Rainbow Wedding!!! If the seven Seventh Coords evolve, the Rainbow Wedding will undergo a miraculous change. …Momo, you already know about this part, right?
Momo: Of- of course I do…! My knowledge of this is peachy keen… naturally… 
Penguin-sensei: Well, of course you’d know that! You have Rinne in your world, after all! …Hm? Speaking of Rinne, where did she go? Weren’t you together?
Momo: Ah… momomomomomomo!!! I forgot about something important! Ri… Rinne’s… gone missing!!!
Penguin-sensei: WHAAAAAT!?!? How could you let that happen!?
Momo: This is terrible! I compluoteley forgot about her!
Penguin-sensei: Oh, this is terrible! We’re dommed, we’re doomed!!!
Momo: What’ll we do!!!
???: Oh? What’s wrong, Penguin-sensei?

p a i r i n g : jungkook x reader
g e n r e : pimp au.
t a g s : pimp!jk debut(!!!!), some degradation, jk watches videos and looks at ur nudes, masturbation, blowjobs, cum swallowing, head pusher!jk, cunnilingus, fingering, squirting(duh), phone sex(?), daddy kink but brief in some scenes, jk is whipped for his pretty gf :( , nasty dirty talk
w o r d c o u n t : 3.2 k
s u m m a r y : “I wanna see it in motion, in 3D. Cause you know how I like it, girl,” or: Jungkook wants the real thing and not some picture or video. Only thing is he’s on a business trip.
Tumblr media
Jungkook tosses his phone off to the side with a quiet “fuck” under his breath. It’s only been three hours since he touched down in LA and not once did you leave his mind even during the long flight on his way over. He thought that after a much needed nap he’d wake up refreshed but it was quite the opposite. However, as soon as his eyes fluttered open he felt the tightness down below in his sweats—cock chubbing up and throbbing painfully through his boxers.
He tried easing the tension by rubbing his hand over the tent at first, he sighed quietly in relief as his hand slipped under his sweats and into his boxers. His cock sat hot and heavy in his hand, twitching when he ran a thumb over the leaky head. “Fuck.” He softly repeats while letting his head fall back on the pillow.
Jungkook’s eyes slip shut as he swallows harshly, he focuses on the hot pleasure boiling in his lower abdomen while slowly working his cock up and down with his thumb swiping over the tip. He pictures you in his bed after a nasty little pussy eating session laying there all fucked out with your thighs still spread and pussy out for him to look at. He swears he can taste you on his tongue just thinking about it.
His lips part as another breathy moan escapes his throat, he lazily flicks his wrist and strokes over his cock while more images of you flash in his mind. He groans out loud at a particular stroke, eyebrows pinching together in concentration as he struggles to keep the same angle and rhythm. Jungkook starts thinking about your ass—your soft, round, apple-bottom shaped ass.
God he just wanted to have his hands over both cheeks, gripping them tight and giving them a couple slaps here and there. His favorite thing to do was fuck you doggy just to watch the way your ass recoiled whenever he slammed in, the bounce was crazy as all he could do was watch in awe as you threw your ass back on him, doughy cheeks colliding against each other or his pelvis.
A low groan of frustration escapes him as he stops stroking himself all at once, slumping over in bed as he lays there staring at the ceiling trying to ignore the heat in his lower belly. He was not having it. He picked his phone up and immediately clicked on his private photos, biting his lip as his screen blew up with endless pics of you or some body part of yours.
He chewed on his lower lip while mindlessly scrolling through the pretty lingerie and ass pics you sent him almost a week ago. A low whistle leaves him, “Goddamn.” He muttered under his breath, he wanted the real thing but sadly these would have to do for now.
Jungkook palms his cock lazily once more, he wraps his fist around the swollen shaft and gives it a small squeeze. He’s even fucking harder now just looking at your pictures rather than before when he was just going off of by memory. He swipes and comes across a photo of your naked body only clad in a pretty g-string. He hisses low at the sight of the string swallowed up between your soft ass cheeks.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” he groans in frustration once more, “this isn’t fucking working.” He stops touching all at once and tosses his phone away, a cold shower will have to do, no use in working himself up if he can’t jack off in peace because it’s not the same.
Jungkook sits up and looks off to the side, this is gonna be a long week without you (at least he had his videos though).
.
Two days. That’s how long Jungkook lasted.
After he finished up with his meetings throughout the day, he slipped into his hotel room and locked himself in for the night. God he missed you so much, he wondered what you were doing back at the club. Were you dancing? Playing? Were you missing him as much as he missed you?
Jungkook was half-tempted to call but he decided against it, while it was barely sundown where he was at, he assumed it was literally nighttime/the next day back at home with you. He settled for a hot shower, dimmed lights, and his phone. He went into the same private collection from before and clicked on one of the many videos he had in store.
He licks his lips hungrily and gets comfortable on the bed, hand dipping down to stroke over his hard-on sitting in his boxers:
“C’mere baby,” Jungkook lazily says, “daddy had a rough day.” He eyes you up and down appreciatively, admiring the way your new corset you bought looked on you. “Ah-ah, you know how I like it baby, why don’t you go on and make me proud yeah? That’s it.” He grins softly, watching as you drop down on your hands and knees, slowly crawling towards him with a devious smile.
“Like this daddy?” You softly say with a sway of your ass.
He groans quietly and nods, “Fuck yeah,” he man spreads invitingly while watching with hooded eyes, “those the new heels I got you baby?” He tilts his head to the side.
“Mm-hm,” you nuzzle into his thigh and press your cheek against him, “pretty aren’t they? Wore them just for you, don’t you think I look pretty?” You pout while giving him those sweet puppy eyes of yours.
Jungkook brings his hand down to cup your face, stroking his thumb over your cheek as he took his time to admire your beauty, “Course, my baby always looks so pretty.” He brings his thumb down on your bottom lip, “But she’d look prettier with a mouth full of cock, don’t you think?” He smirks. You softly moan with a nod and he gently tilts your head up by your chin, “Then why don’t you show me just how pretty you are baby?”
You stare back at him like you’re hypnotized, your small hands come up to undo his belt, the sound of his zipper being pulled fills the space between you two. Jungkook leans down to give you one soft peck on your lips before he’s sitting back like the kingpin he is, arms stretched across the back of the velvet sofa. He watches hungrily as your soft hand wraps around his swollen cock, the sight is obscene given that you can’t even fully close your fist around his cock.
“Go on baby,” he breathes out, “slip me in your pretty little mouth.”
You obediently lean forward, lips parted in a ‘o’ as you slip the head into your mouth. He groans quietly at the sight of your glossy red lips wrapped around his cock. You tongue at the slit of his cock, swiping your tongue over the head in repeated motions—left, right, left right. Your hand gently pumps the rest of his cock, you move slowly and twist your hand when you reach the base of his cock before bringing it back up with a nice grip.
“Fuck,” he sighs as he throws his head back with a hum.
You pull back with a wet pop and bring your hand over the tip, smearing your spit all over his cock as you use it to get the rest of his cock slicked up. After stroking him a couple of times you take his cock back into your mouth, this time pushing down until the head hits the back of your throat with a audible gag.
He swears under his breath and reaches up to bury his tattooed hand in your hair. You blink the tears away and bob your head slowly—swallowing messily around his cock. The noises he makes has your thighs pressing together in an effort to suppress your throbbing clit. Not to mention he looks so hot with his head thrown back and his mouth open.
“There you go baby, doing so good,” he pants softly, “tight little throat—’s like you were made for my cock, tight little cocksleeve.” He bites down on his lip and comes back to look down at you, “Love my cock don’t you?” He pats your head, watching in amusement as you moan and nod for him, “Course you do.”
You swallow noisily, slurping up the excess saliva you leave on his cock as you pull back to pop him out of your mouth, “ ‘s mine isn’t it daddy? No one else can have your cock but me right?” You pout while rubbing the tip over your lips, as if you were coating them in a shiny layer of gloss.
Jungkook nods, “Only yours baby.” He reaches down to grip his cock and guide the head back between your lips, “Nobody else does it like you,” he mumbles while watching you take his entire cock down your throat once more.
You reach up to cup his swollen balls in your hand, pairing it with powerful sucks as you hollow your cheeks. His lips part in surprise, a strangled groan leaving him when you begin massaging his balls while bobbing your head much quicker than before. He can’t help himself anymore, he reaches back down and begins pushing your head against his lap. Each push has you taking him deeper and deeper, until your nose is flush against his pelvis.
“Fuck..!” He moans out when you gag around him, your throat constricts tightly around his cock and it has him struggling to keep his composure. “Shit–gonna cum baby,” he breathes out while reaching into his pocket for his phone.
You hum in acknowledgment while bobbing your head to the best of your ability. Jungkook manages to record you sucking him off before he’s suddenly holding you still with a low moan as he cums down your throat. His cock throbs intensely as hot spurts of cum fill your mouth. “Fucking shit,” he shakily breathes out while running a hand through his hair and zooming in on your swollen lips that are still wrapped around his cock.
You pull back with a low pop, lips smeared in a shiny coat of spit and cum, “Am I prettier now?” You smile brightly.
“Fuck yeah,” he sighs in pure bliss while tossing his phone to the side, that was the meanest suck you ever given him.
+
Jungkook breaks on the fourth day.
“Jungkook!” Your happy little voice rings in the quiet hotel room, “I missed you lots, how’s LA like? Oooh can you bring me back something, pretty please!” You pout while snuggling into the many Kuromi plushies you begged him to buy you.
He bites his lip when he sees the state you’re in—practically naked with nothing but a white spaghetti top and your cheeky lace panties. He feels his cock instantly grow hard at the sight, “Hi baby,” he murmurs, “what’s my pretty girl up to hm? Heard about how wild the other night was for you.” He tries not to get jealous at the thought of so many men being around you, Namjoon had reported that the club was busier that night and it only progressed into something wilder when you came out to dance.
“Oh! Yes! Lots of people came the other night and it was just crazy in there, they literally had to use a broom to collect all the money I made during my dance. Joonie also had to tell ‘em I wasn’t available for private dances.” You blow a raspberry, “But anyways, it’s pretty boring without you here. I went shopping with the girls and today,” you ramble on and on.
He groans pitifully when his cock twitches in interest after you had rolled over laying on your tummy, he had caught a glimpse of your pretty ass and it was game over then and there. “Fuck baby,” he sighs, “you’re making it hard for me, ‘s not fair that I can’t have you here with me.” He mutters.
You giggled softly, “Awww, you miss me that much?” You coo softly, “Anything I can do to make it better? Hm?”
“Yeah, why don’t you turn ‘round and show me your pretty ass baby?” Jungkook bites his lip while reaching inside his boxers to stroke his cock.
In a heartbeat you set the phone up against the pillows and sit up on your knees, turning to show off the curve of your ass. “Like this?” You smirk softly, teasingly poking your ass out and swaying your hips side to side.
“Just like that,” he groans, “make it bounce for me baby, wanna see it,” he whispers while rubbing his thumb over the tip in quick little swipes. He nearly moans out loud when you bend over on all fours, ass bouncing just for him as your doughy cheeks jiggle from your movements, “Fuck I wish you were here,” he swallows harshly while keeping his eyes locked on your ass, occasionally his gaze falls down to your chubby little pussy which is kept hidden by your panties.
“Me too..’s not the same with my fingers,” you wiggle your ass and bend lower until your chest rests on the bed and your back is arched with your ass raised high. “Not even the vibrator you got me works.” You petulantly whine.
“Fuck, I promise when I get back I’ll fuck you as long as you want,” he breathes out while stroking his cock faster, “gonna have you pumped full of my cum, till you’re drippin’, you’ll be a good girl and clean it up won’t you?” He licks his lips.
You nod eagerly, “Course.” You reach behind to spread your cheeks apart, giving him a small little peek of your cunt. He groans loudly when he sees a small dark wet patch over the center, he just wants to bury his face between your cheeks and eat your pussy out till you’re crying and begging him to stop.
“I’m gonna cum baby,” he groans, “lemme see your little pussy, pull those panties to the side for me,” he watches as your fingers come down to hook around the fabric, he nearly blacks out when you yank them to side and show off your cunt to him. He swears he even sees a string of slick between your chubby folds.
Jungkook cums so hard he feels like his vision goes black. He slumps against the bed with a low moan as cum covers his fist and cock, some of it even landed on his pelvis—further making a mess of himself. “God I miss you,” he mutters, “just a few more days baby.” He licks his lips, “Then I’m all yours.” He grins.
“Can’t wait.” You smile dopily, “Sweet dreams.” You coo.
+
Jungkook can’t wait anymore. As soon as his plane touches down and the driver takes him home, he’s booking it straight to the bedroom. You had sent him a flirty message along with a picture of yourself in nothing but a thong waiting for him in bed with a cheeky little: don’t be late!
He stumbled through the door, eyes narrowing in on you. You licked your lips slowly and spread your thighs apart for him, “This what you were missing?” You teasingly slid your hand over your pussy, “I know you want me,” you softly whisper while pulling your thong to the side, “so come and get it.”
With that he climbs over on the bed, bringing you down as he slams his lips into yours rather harshly. You moan into his mouth and wrap your arms around his neck, his hands are everywhere all at once. He goes from cupping your tits to cradling your ribs and then sliding down to your ass. It feels good to be holding your soft cheeks in his hands once more.
“I missed you so fucking much baby,” he growls softly, “thought ‘bout this pretty little ass and pussy night and day.” He lays kisses all over your neck and shoulder.
“Well now you’re here,” you moan softly.
Jungkook licks his lips, “Gonna show you how much I missed you,” he breathes out while sliding down the bed until he’s eye level with your pussy. He doesn’t hesitate to tear the thong off and toss it somewhere, he brings your thighs up and over his shoulders as he goes to town on your aching cunt.
He covers your entire pussy with his hot mouth, licking and sucking wildly at your folds, clit, and slicked up hole. You bury your hands in his hair with a loud moan, pushing his head down as you feed your cunt to him. Loud slurping noises fill the space between you two, his tongue runs over your clit in quick flicks going side to side. Your lips part as breathy whines and cries escape.
“Fuck right there,” you sob out while holding his head still, “w-want more..! ‘M too empty.” You buck your hips.
Jungkook isn’t in the mood to tease, he brings his finger up and prods at your tight little hole. Your mouth falls open when he opens you up with one digit, and then another. He hums as he takes your swollen clit into his mouth, harshly sucking on the sensitive little bud while he fucks his fingers into your throbbing cunt.
“J-Jungkook..!” You sob out while arching your back.
Your legs quiver from the harsh stimulation, you don’t know whether you want to beg him to stop or beg him for more. Jungkook however doesn’t let you think straight with the way he’s sucking on your clit and finger fucking you into another universe. His fingers perfectly strike your g-spot with each thrust making your pussy drip and gush around his fingers.
He pulls back to blow on your clit teasingly, “This is exactly how I wanted you—spread out like a little slut with your needy pussy in my face. Look at you,” he chuckles, “practically humping my hand with how desperate your little pussy is.” He leans down to press a chaste kiss over your clit, “Gonna be a good girl and squirt on my fingers?”
“Y-Yes!” You throw your head back, “ ‘m your good girl.” You weakly croak out while grinding your pussy on his fingers.
Jungkook laughs under his breath, “Go on then, cum on my fingers,” he leans down to envelop your clit in his mouth, suckling with a hint of teeth.
Your mind blanks out as you go stiff, your hands grip his hair tightly and you feel your cunt pulse wildly. Your orgasm hits you hard as spurts of slick squirt out from your abused cunt. You throb around his fingers and weakly try to push him away, “ ‘s too much..” You whine tiredly while shaking, “No moreeee,” you pout.
Jungkook pulled away with a smirk, “Messy little thing you are,” he says this as he wipes his lower lip/chin. You grumble back at him and roll away to lay on your side, “What was that, I couldn’t hear you.” Jungkook says while going over to lay on top of you, “What did you say?” He grins as he peppers your ear with tiny kisses.
“I said you broke my pussy, my leg keeps shaking.” You huff, “Get off you’re heavy!” You whine whilst wiggling around.
“Who did?” Jungkook just lives to annoy you.
“You did!” You whine louder.
“That’s right,” he smacks your ass hard, feeling accomplished with himself.

Scratchin' Melodii - Progress Checkup (Apr. 2024)
Hey guys! Just giving another progress checkup. Been working on a lot of stuff lately for Scratchin' Melodii! Keep in mind, since I won't be doing anymore demos, the stuff I talk about in these won't be released until the full game is released. 
Here's what I've been working on:
Redone Nami.WAV animations (Halfway Done!)  You already saw some of these in the 2023 demo!
Redone Stir & Mix animations (Done!)  I've been reanimating/cleaning up some of the animations in the levels that were animated earlier in development, as many of them are either off-model to how I currently draw the characters now or just aren't consistent with the quality of my more recent work.
Lucid Mode (Getting there!) Remember that experimental "Ascension" or "3D Mode" from the 2021 and 2022 demos? Well, I've finally got it working again with the new rhythm system. It's called "Lucid Mode" now. (Unless I change my mind again!) The most difficult part so far has been programming what happens when you fall out of it, but after a long week I think I've pretty much got it under control now. I'll show a preview of this mode when I think it's presentable!
??? (Act 2 Rival Battle 3) (Being Animated & Storyboarded)  Believe it or not, this will be my first time fully storyboarding a level's animations! I usually just kinda jump in with whatever I have planned in my mind, but I thought a more organized process would be worth a try this time.
Optimization Progress I've been learning some more optimization tricks, most recently with the beans in Sidechain Fever, of which I've managed to pretty much double performance! They look the same, but don't be fooled; their textures are handled differently now!
And other stuff that I can't talk about yet!
Now, with all these awesome things in the works, you're probably craving a look at some of it! Well, I don't feel like it. So here's a background model of a barbecue grill with placeholder materials.
Tumblr media
A local of Uptown JamWell was asked about their thoughts on this barbecue grill. They stated: "If we're being real here, you could probably cook banana burgers on this barbecue."
Thanks for reading!

Could you do headcanons of the MK1 Earthrealmers, Syzoth and Liu Kang walking into the reader dancing the official choreography to their fave song (and maybe trying to learn it to impress them)?
If you want specific songs for this, I got you covered:
You got it!
Them finding you dancing the official choreography to their fave song | Headkanons
A/n: Sorry for the delay, hope this was worth the wait. Tags: MK1, MK AU, Headcanons, fluff, G/N! reader C/w: none (Wait no, there's some aginst in Liu kang's part) Characters: Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Kung Lao, Raiden, Liu Kang, Syzoth
Tumblr media
Johnny Cage
Tumblr media
Throughout his life, Johnny has attended many parties and there he heard countless songs. But the moment he heard this song, he fell in love. He'd blast it 24/7, he even started singing it himself, though he didn't sound as good as he thought he was.
Helping with protecting Earthrealm, however, caused him to be so busy that he couldn't really do the personal things he loved.
So when he hears that familiar tune echoing off the walls, he is quite confused and curious. He follows the sound and he finds himself in front of your door, much to his suprise.
He gently opens the door and peers in, and there he sees it: You dancing along to the song.
Johnny is left both shocked and awed by the sight of this. He stares at you as you move around in synch with the choreo. You were doing quite well, you fumbled and messed u at some parts, but you weren't half bad for the first part. Johnny can tell that you've been doing this for a long time.
Johnny couldn't help but be slightly amused by this, he smirked as he crossed his arms, leaned against the wall and watched you continue. He had no idea that you even liked this song, he had no idea you could even move like that.
His mind started to race as he watched. Why did you suddenly have an interest in this? Is it because of him? Why? Were you trying to impress him? Did you like him? Well, it wouldn't be much of a surprise, who doesn't like him? He shakes his head and brings himself back to reality.
He finally makes his presence known by clearing his throat. This startles you and you stop dancing and stiffen up in his presence.
He chuckles as he raises his hands in defence, "Easy, Y/n, just watching." He explains softly. You finally calm down. "You're pretty good." He compliments. You smile slightly at this, but you can't help but notice the way Johnny is looking at you. As if he's seeing you in a new light. You can't help but feel butterflies in your stomach, a nervousness encases you. You can only smile sweetly back at him.
Kenshi
Tumblr media
As a former member of the Yakuza, Kenshi had the occasional privilege of attending many clubs. At one of them, he heard this one on one of the last nights before he defected and went out to seek Sento.
It has been a long time since he has heard this song, so he is quite bewildered when his hearing catches the sound wave bouncing around. He smiles at the familiarity and a slight bit of nostalgia of hearing it.
Using Sento to guide him, he was surprised to find himself before your door. As he opens the door, Kenshi is hit in the face with the loud volume of the music.
Even through the loud noise, Kenshi can pick up the sound of your feet moving around specific patterns and in a certain rhythm. he immediately recognizes it as the choreo to the song, and he smiles at this.
Though he is blind, the idea of seeing you dancing makes the smiles on his face stay on longer. With the power of Sento, he swears that he can almost even see you.
He has never known you as the type of person to like this type of music, but here we are. Why the sudden change? What caused this new interest? Was...was it him? Though this sounds arrogant, Kenshi can't help but be fascinated with the idea that this is some strange thing you're doing to impress him. He is aware of how ridiculous it sounds, but the idea of it is so tantalizing, that he can't help but continue to fantasize about this concept
As you near the end of the s, you cannot help but feel like you're being watched you turn around and there you see Kenshi. You gasp in surprise at his presence and freeze.
"Learning some new tricks, are we, Y/n?" Kenshi chuckles as he approaches. You feel your cheeks rush red with embarrassment, you hadn't meant for him to see you...not yet at least.
Places a finger under your chin, causing you to look up at him. "Keep practising, you're not half bad." he compliments as he beams at you. He is impressed with you, and this makes your cheeks flush.
Kung Lao
Tumblr media
This song has always been a guilty pleasure of his. He has always attempted to put out a badass, tough-guy persona when in private he happily dances along to this song.
So his attention is immediately grabbed when he hears he catches what sounds like his favourite song playing faintly not too far away. Confused he follows the noise and it leads, of all places, to your room.
Without hesitation, he opens the door and looks inside. There he finds you energetically dancing to the music. For a split second, Lao watches you dance. You were so smooth and graceful. Now that he's interrupted you, he instantly regrets his impulsiveness.
You spin around your face as you panic at the sudden notion of his presence. An awkward air drifts between you two for some time, neither of you knows exactly how to react or what to do next.
"Well, Y/n, I always knew you had a crush on me. But I didn't know you liked me this much." He said finally.
You roll your eyes at this remark and you begin to usher him out of your room, quite quickly, you don't want him to see me made you blush after all.
You get him outside "Wait, Yn," he says before you can close the door on him, "I think you a great dancer, seriously. Maybe you and I could, you know, go dancing." He says with a cocky smirk.
Lao looks at you with a haughty stare, but you can't help but sense sincerity behind them. His is also a very charming one as well, you feel you flush even further with more blush. There's a nervous feeling that rings through you, you try your best to fight off a smile on you face. Unfortunatly, you fail.
"I knew you liked me." He said mused. With that, you slammed the door in his face.
Raiden
Tumblr media
Raiden had never really been open about the type of music he liked and listened to. Hell, many didn't know if he even liked music. There is one song that he is fond of, however, though he doesn't listen to it much.
So his attention and focus are disrupted. He tries to ignore it and get back to his business, but he is drawn to the sound. It is too often that he listens to this song he can't help himself, he gets up and follows the sound.
It is like he's in a trance and he makes his closer and closer. Finally, he finds himself outside your door.
Raiden is surprised at this, he never even for a minute knew you'd have any interest in this. He hesitates before finally knocking on the door.
He stood there for some time, waiting for an answer, but the music was so loud he doubted you even heard him knock.
Finally, he opens the door and enters. And he sees you, dancing along happily to the song. You were dancing in a specific manner, Raiden instantly realizes that this must be the official choice of the song.
Upon seeing you dancing, Raiden's eyes grow wide as he stares at you, mesmerized. He stands there and watches you work your way through the routine.
As you begin to finish, you finally notice him standing there, watching you. You freeze, uncertain of what to do. For that few moments, you two stare at each other.
A bright smile spreads across Raiden's face. "You are wonderful." He compliments. You smile at this and give a playful bow, as you rise you feel the blood rushing through your cheeks and your face getting hot.
"Perhaps you could teach me," he says, much to your surprise. "O-Of course." You stammer out. Raiden smiles at this, and as you can't help but stare when you that he himself is starting to blush.
Liu Kang
Tumblr media
As the one who restarted and recreated the timeline, Liu Kang has a strange taste of music. Makes sense, he was a part of the old timeline, and he has heard music from that era that he will never be able to hear in this new world. But there is this one that he has become secretly obsessed with from this new world. Though he won't admit it to anyone, not even Geras.
So when he hears his favourite song echoing about, he can't help but be entranced. He stops all he is doing and he begins to follow the sound. Now at your door, Liu Kang stares at the entrance. He listens to the music, it is so much like a song from the old timeline that he loves so much. He smiles as he throws away all caution and reason and enters your room.
Opening the door, Liu Kang's eyes fall on you as he sees you dancing.
He stares at you, raptured by your movements. He has seen the chore a thousand times, but you made it look like something completely new.
He remembers you from the old timeline, he had not s single idea you even liked this type of music, that you even liked dancing.
As he continues to think, his smile fades as he begins to think further. Did he do a good job with you? Is this actually what you were like, or was this a mistake he made as he remade you? Did you truly like this or did he just project his desires onto you and twist you into something you weren't? Were you doing this to impress him, if so, was that your own doing, or was it something made you to do?
His thoughts fade away as he notices you smile, how happy you doing this.
You soon feel a pair of eyes on you and you turn around and find Liu Kang staring you up and down intently. You panic at this, you don't want him to see you doing this. You were hoping to surprise him with this, show off, impress him maybe.
Liu Kang senses your panicking, "Learning something new Y/n?" he asks, hoping to ease the tension. You nod, but you can't help but notice a weird look on his as if he's worried. "Would you like to join in?" You ask as you feel your face burn, He shakes his head in response. "Oh? Scared that I'll show you up?" You joke.
Without thinking, he begins to unexpectedly dance perfectly to the song. He was amazing, he didn't miss a single beat. You laugh in amusement. This made Kang feel a sense of embarrassment as well as good inside. As if your joy made him feel satisfied inside.
You extend your hand you him, asking him to join you. He happily starts to dance in synch with you. Liu Kang feels alive in such a way that he hasn't felt in such a long time. Much as you continue, he thinks even more about you and him. He... loved you. He wanted you to be together, but was this what you actually wanted or was this his doing? Was...was he hurting you?
Syzoth
Tumblr media
Though he has only been in Earthrealm for a few days but has developed quite a fast obsession with the culture here. Especially the music. He has especially fallen in love with one specific song, it has become such a major part of his life. Every day he listens to it, every hour, every second of free time.
So when he hears his favourite song playing, he is less confused and more excited. He happily and curiously follows the sound to your door, eager to find the source.
He dithers on whether or not to open the door. finally, he ease the door open and looks inside. Going inside, his eyes immediately fall onto you. He is amazed as he watches you sway along to the music, matching the official choreo perfectly.
Syzoth smiles as he watches you, he is mesmerized by you.
Eventually, Syzoth clears his throat, making you aware of his presence. Promptly, you stop what you are doing and turn to look at him. Your boy stiffens as you stare at him, panicking slightly at his unexpected company.
He smiles at you and approaches, as he does, he also starts to do a segment of the choreo. As he finishes he is now before you and then takes a bow.
You gawk in shock at how well he is at this, and you clap in amazement. You had started doing this to impress him, only for him to impress you. Syzoth smiles at this, your action has a gratifying effect on him. His smile grows wider, and he even blushes a little.
He extends his hand to you, inviting you to join him. You take his hand, hesitantly. You are very awkward at first now that you're in front of him. But you get more confident as you continue.
Now finishing, you face each other and lock eyes. He has a contagious smile that causes you to smile back.
Syzoth was grateful for having a chance to get to Earthrealm, he was even more grateful that he got to meet you.

Art Resources 01 [Facial anatomy]
Hi! First post of the Art Resources thing I mentioned a while back :) Figured I'd start with something people generally want to know more about- or something people think they already know about but could still used some lesser known tips!
Resources, break downs and tips under the Keep Reading thing :]
1. The Basics
There are thousands of methods to constructing the face. The most popular one is the little circle with the cross in the middle, and sometimes a few more lines for the jaw. While that can be a useful guideline, if you're just starting to learn the ropes it might be better to use a method that has more structure decomposition and land marks to help guide you. Here I'll leave two methods of deconstructing the face that I believe are the most useful to draw faces in different angles and perspectives as well as identify where exactly should each element be placed.
REMEMBER: All of these methods are just guidelines. In order to get different facial features, you can adjust proportions for each of these and play around with sizes.
1.1 The Loomis Method
A structural approach to drawing the head, based on first: simplifying general forms and second: identifying landmarks for the face elements. Pretty good for beginners, helps you understand the head from a more tridimensional stand point to be able to draw it from different angles.
youtube
1.2 The Reilly Method
Also a structural approach, but this one is based on understanding the rhythms of the face (proportions, harmonies, and even some general muscular anatomy). It can be a bit harder to understand and use as a building block for beginner artists, but it can serve as a way to check your proportions after an initial sketch.
youtube
Here are other two methods, a bit less known, but that go a bit more in depth about the head. If you're a beginner, I'd recommend watching the Loomis method first before diving into these other two methods. Note: these are playlists covering each method, and the videos are longer, but worthwhile.
1.3 The Michael Hampton Method
1.4 The Steve Huston Method
And here's a hybrid of a visual and structural approach too if you're interested! (Again, this one is recommended mostly if you already have a good grasp of the general structure)
Having trouble finding that reference of the head from that specific angle? Here's a 3D model that can be used as reference from any angle. Bonus: It has a built in light feature that allows you to understand which planes of the face the light would hit!
There's also a version with more feminine features.
Here's a website that lets you pick a head angle and then searches for reference images with that angle too. Allows you to pick age, gender, and other features like glasses, facial hair, etc.
2. Understanding What's Below
When drawing the head and face, what most people think of is what we see everyday: the skin. However, there's more to the head and face than just that: there's a whole structure laying underneath that builds up everything on top. Understanding that structure can lead to better execution of skin level facial anatomy.
And what's that structure? Well, bones of course. And muscles. Even if (most of the time) we don't draw them, knowing they exist and how they are placed on top of each other can help with building what we do draw. Understanding the building blocks of the face will make it easier to avoid, say, making one eye bigger than the other. Or a forehead that's too small. Or ears that are too high. Or side profiles that cut off the brain.
Something I recommend for this is making study sheets of the bone structure, muscular structure, and skin structure. For this it's important to name the main bones and muscle groups. Not because you need to commit them to memory, but because if you name them on your practice sheet, it's easier to remember later on that they EXIST (even if you don't remember the name).
Here's a 3D model of the skull
Useful guide for the names of the bones of the skull
Here's a 3D model of the face muscles with names
3. Elements of a Whole
So we now understand the general structure of a face and some useful guidelines to build it. Good! But now, a face has a bunch of individual elements with their own individual structure and stuff to look out for. Those are, of course:
Eyes
Noses
Lips
Ears
3.1 Eyes
It's important to note that the eye has a volume of its own- it's not just a sticker laying on top of the face. It can be helpful to think of the eyeball inside the eye socket when drawing it (taking into account the bone structure we learned before). When understanding the eyeball as a sphere, it becomes easier to place the skin above: the eyelids. This can help with drawing the eye from any angle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This can also help when drawing the dreaded Other EyeTM, specially if you are still a beginner artist. If you start by constructing the eyes with spheres and approach it from the perspective of "placing" the skin above that sphere, it's easier to get sizes and proportions right.
3.2 Noses
Again, spheres can be your friend.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
3.3 Lips
Spheres part 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A funny thing with lips that often gets over looked when one is just learning the ropes of anatomy is that it also wraps around the volume of the face. Just like the eyes aren't stickers laying on top, the lips aren't either. It's important to take the curvature of the face when placing the lips from different angles and expressions. For example, when we thing of a smile, its usually this idea that comes to mind:
Tumblr media
Which yeah, that's fine! ...As long as your subject is facing straight to the camera.
But when we have even a bit of perspective, the way the mouth looks changes, and we often don't think of that and just draw what we think the mouth looks like... which can lead to odd looking mouths, like they're pasted on. So, it's important to keep in mind the volume of the face:
Tumblr media
This is true for all features of the face: keeping in mind the volume. But, it can be more noticeable on the mouth.
3.4 Ears
Spheres part- no.
Even if the ear is one of the "flatter" parts of the head, it doesn't mean they don't have volume. Depending on the angle of the face, it'll change how much of the ear is shown- or which parts.
Tumblr media
All ears are different and have their quirks, but they all can be divided in three major segments, colour coded in the image. If you deconstruct the ear in these three major parts, keeping in mind they have their own volume, it should be easier to figure out which of those parts will be seen depending on the angle of your face.
4. Expressions!
Now that we understand the elements and construction blocks of the face (bones and muscles), we can play around with them a bit more. So, time to make expressions!
When playing with how the skin moves, it's fundamental to understand the muscle groups of the face and how they move, relax and tense depending on the expression. Knowing that these muscles exist and how they interact with the skin above will help you know where the eyebrow should furrow, where wrinkles would form.
A BOOK I widely recommend is Anatomy of Facial Expression, which you can find here for purchase
Or here as a PDF
This book also covers skull anatomy, so it's a useful tool to study the structure talked about in 02.
There's also an ArtStation account that uploads a bunch of useful 3D model resources for anatomy (facial or otherwise).
Scott McCloud's book, Making Comics, has a section dedicated to facial expressions too (great book in general, not only if you're interested in comics!). You can find it in PAGE 80 (or 88 in the document).
Another thing that can be helpful is studying from life! You can do that by making different expressions in front of a mirror and pay close attention to which muscle groups tense and relax, where wrinkles appear, how your skin moves. Or, if you're like me and hate staring at your face, you can also study from video references.
Here's a link to a PLAYLIST containing various videos of people making different expressions.
The previous playlist contains real people, thus, REALISTIC ANATOMY. It's important to note that even if your drawing style is heavily stylised (like anime, cartoon, etc), it's still fundamental that you understand real world rules so you later know how to bend and break them properly to implement those to your own style.
However, that doesn't mean you can't study STYLISED EXPRESSIONS too! It's actually a great idea to see how other people exaggerate certain anatomical aspects to their own work so you can also understand how to do it in yours. Here's a list with various videos of EXPRESSIONS IN MOTION for animation tests. Study them the same as the previous ones: paying close attention to how the face and muscles MOVE.
youtube
youtube
youtube
youtube
youtube
Pause the videos you study as needed! While all of this might seem more useful for animation, it's also incredibly useful in illustration, and studying things in movement can help with understanding them better, thus putting them to paper (or tablet) becomes easier.
Finally, here's some videos in a sort of CLASS FORMAT that can help with walking you through drawing expressions more effectively than a text post could lol

What do you expect to see in live emotion? What are your far fetched hopes?
For me, now that its been confirmed as a rhythm game my base expectations are:
A gacha system.
A varied initial roster of songs.
Unlockable outfits, backgrounds, customisation etc.
Events and frequent updates.
Unlockable main story and side stories
Equal focus on the groups, and new insight into the characters
My hopes are:
A pretty and intuitive UI.
Consistent updates that keep the game exciting, and frequent contact from the dev team instead of radio silence.
At least some level of warmth, heart, and depth in the writing, characters, art, etc. Including a main story mode that is actually compelling and interesting that builds up to a conclusion. Sometimes Shining Live could feel a bit too sterile, pristine, and stale after a few years, rather than highlighting the existing focus utapri has on bonds and connection.
A nice art style with CGs/cards having unique poses, interactions, intricate backgrounds, etc.
Option to swap between Live2D, Card art, and 3D Models on homescreen.
Outfits that arent all basic suits, and customisation that actually looks nice on the 3d models.
Fun and satisfying beatmaps, with multiple touch gestures (tap, hold, spin, swipe double tab etc).
Option for simpler bg to reduce motion sickness and distraction.
Some new main feature/mode/gimmick to differ it from Shining Live.
Some degree of interaction between characters.
Lots of things to work towards completing without FOMO or pressure to spend money: missions, quests, login bonuses, achievements, etc.
The chance to unlock all content as a free player, even it it takes a bit longer.
Im sure Im forgetting a lot, so feel free to send in asks with any thoughts on, or hopes for the game~ We might have another reveal tonight?

Naru: WHAT?! You want them to design Bell’s coord?!
Ann: By “tournament”, do you mean… “To●ki●me●ki Days Session”?

Naru: This is great, Player-chan! Designing a coord for Bell-san is a dream come true!
Otoha: Woow, Bell-san’s going to be wearing one of Player-san’s designs… Märcheeeeen!
Ito: But… will it be alright? I mean, Bell’s kind of… super nitpicky when it comes to choosing a coord that suits her. Nobody feels as strongly towards Prism Shows and tournaments as her, you know?
Ann: You’ll have to think up an amazing design that she’ll be satisfied with!
Naru: Good luck, Player-chaaan!
RL Chapter 15: The Heart-Throbbing Gorgeous Lady, Bell
Ann: So, To●ki●me●ki Days Session is finally here!
Naru: What kind of designs did you think up, Player-chan? … Wooow, they’re all so pretty~!
Ann: Yeah, any of these are sexy enough to look great on Bell!
Naru: Bell-san would definitely like this design!
Otoha: Everyooooone! This way~!
Naru: Oh, Otoha-chan!
Otoha: Sorry to keep you all waiting. This way you’ll find…
Bell: I’m Renjouji Bell. So, you must be… Player?
Wakana: Yup! They’re the talk of the town around Harajuku~!
Bell: Thank you so much for accepting my sudden request. Would you be able to show me the designs I may be wearing in my Show now? 
Ann: Here are Player’s designs!
Bell: …
Wakana: Well, do mew like them? Doth these designs remainst steadfastly in milady’s favour?
Bell: …
Otoha: Bell…-san?
Bell: Huh. They’re all… wonderful. However… could I ask you something? …Why do you design?
Choice: I want to help people shine onstage. / ‘Cuz it’s fun.
Bell: I see… What a wonderful answer. Although… there’s still something missing… You can’t just think about the people who you’re designing for. You must also look into your own heart as you design.
Wakana: Gorsh~ You’re so egotistical, Bell. What are mew even saying?
Bell: Well, this is just a “what-if”, but… what if you arranged this coord a bit differently?
Ito: Arrange…?
Bell: Cosmo chose you to teach about design, so you should be able to do a lot more than before.
Naru: Oh, you mean deco-ing a design with a new image, right?! A new image… for Bell-san… 
Cosmo: ‘Gorgeous’ would be good, right?
Naru: Co… Cosmo-chan?!
Cosmo: If you expect the rose queen, Renjouji Bell to wear your design, it’s gotta be gorgeous, right?
Bell: The stylish gang leader… Houjou Cosmo… Will you also be entering the tournament, then?
Cosmo: Nah, I’m just here to watch. Anyways, just another sexy design would be boring, so combine the power of Design and My☆Deco to show us a sexy, gorgeous design. 
Bell: Hehe. You two seem to be really close… You didn’t come all the way out here just to see your rival’s design, did you?
Wakana: Wa-wait a sec, Bell! What’re you talking about!!!
Bell: Player! You’re entering the tournament. Enter To●ki●me●ki Days Session right this instant!
Otoha: Huuuh?! So Player-san’s also taking part? …Märchen~
Wakana: God, Bell you’re so… well, you’re always like this, I guess. There’s no arguing with Bell, so good luck, Player.
Bell: Come at me fully intending to beat me. I won’t have you compete against me any other way. If you can beat me, I’ll teach you the sexy Seventh Jump. Let’s go, To●ki●me●ki Days Dession is starting. Prepare yourself for the Sexy and Gorgeous Design & Seventh Jump Challenge!!! I’ll show you the power of a rose!!!
(design nd show. But like could u imagine going to one of these tournaments like everyones doing the same song. And noah fence but tokmeki days is just fine)
Bell: That was a good Show, Player.
Otoha: It’s time for the results! The winner is…
Wakana: Woooah!!! It’s Player!
Bell: Congratulations, Player. I had a feeling you would claim first place this time. From now on, try your hand at using Design and My☆Deco to make yourself shine, and I’m sure you’ll become a wonderful Prism Star. And not just you… Houjou Cosmo too…
Cosmo: Huh? Did someone call me? ‘Grats. And not just on the win, but on being acknowledged by Bell-sama. Your sexy and gorgeous design wasn’t terrible.
Wakana: Mew could just tell them you liked it, you should really be more honest with your feelings!
Bell: You really don’t get to tell someone else that, Wakana…
Wakana: Meowmeow?!
Cosmo: Anyway, it looks like you’ve gotten more used to the power of Design. It’s about time I get serious too. I, Houjou Cosmo, will cosmically conquer Harajuku with my Harajuku Style-Jack!!! So prepare yourself… Laters.
Otoha: Cosmo’s quite the funny person, isn’t she? Ehehe.
Bell: Yeah. It’s a good thing, too; Player needs a rival like that to raise their skills. I’d be happy if you could see me as such a rival, too.
Otoha: That’s it! Everyone! Would you all like to have a tea party?
Bell: That sounds nice. Let’s go with Darjeeling today. Here’s to a fruitful friendship, Player.

If Cosmere Characters worked at a coffee shop...
[Spoilers for Rhythm of War & Mistborn Era 1, technically! All other references should be safe.]
Let’s say the Cosmere characters lived in our world and worked as baristas. What would they be like in that role?
1. Kaladin: Keeps trying (in vain) to unionize with the other employees
Kaladin: I really thought we had it, that time.
Kaladin: I can’t believe I’m the only one who didn’t get fired.
Kaladin: AGAIN
2. Shallan: Makes the most gorgeous latte art you’ve ever seen
Customer: H-How did you make the flower 3D? It’s just MILK
Shallan: I learned it from a book!
3. Sarene: Is the queen of malicious compliance and working to rule
Sarene: Manager got on my case because the customer said the coffee was weak.
Sarene: I am using this scale to measure out the proper coffee amounts to the gram.
Sarene: These tweezers help. 
4. Kelsier: The rumors of his firing were greatly exaggerated
Doug the normal barista: Uh, I’m pretty sure our new coworker Ty Decker is just Kelsier in a mustache.
Doug the other normal barista: Impossible! We saw him get fired!
Doug #1: I’m telling you, man! It’s like he can’t leave this coffeeshop!
“Ty” (to a customer): Hello would you like to join my secret club?
Doug #2 (whispering): And I’m pretty sure he’s in an MLM!
5. Adolin: Knows each customer by name (and flirts for tips)
Adolin: Janala! It’s so great to see you! You look gorgeous as always!
Janala: ...
Janala: Is our date going to be just hanging out at your coffeeshop while you’re working?
Adolin: I-It’ll be fun; you’ll see!
6. Lirin: Refuses to apply upcharges
Lirin: No one should have to pay EXTRA for oatmilk!
Lirin: I’m just going to give this to you for free.
7. Steris: Has the employee handbook memorized
Steris: Actually, it’s illegal to ask Doug to start the coffee before he clocks in.
Steris: Employee handbook Section 3.7a.
8. Lightsong: Refuses to believe that he is a god (of coffeemaking)
Lightsong: Ugh, WHY are we always so much busier when I’m working?
Lightsong: I’m not even that good at making coffee!
Llarimar: People believe your coffee is the best in town.
Lightsong: The coffee maker does all the work!
9. Lezian: Keeps forming grudges against coworkers
Lezian: Every time someone else gets chosen for Employee of the Month instead of me...
Lezian: I make it my mission to see them FIRED before the month is OVER!
Kaladin: But that’s...always.
Kaladin: You’re not very good at your job.
Lezian: THAT’S IT
Lezian: YOU’RE ON MY LIST
10. Tress: Really just loves the cups
Tress: Oh! I love your travel mug!
Tress: Where is it from?
11. Vivenna: Gradually has all of her coffeeshop illusions shattered
Vivenna: Man, I really thought people would come in, order off the menu, and then wait politely for their drink to be made and delivered.
Customer: NINE SHOTS OF ESPRESSO! WHIPPED CREAM!
Vivenna: I have seen the darkest parts of humanity.
12. Hoid: Is somehow everyone’s previous coworker
Shallan: Wait, didn’t we work for UberEats together? 
Kelsier: No, that’s the bastard who slapped me! In the middle of Walmart! While we were on the clock!
Kaladin: Huh? I think that’s the guy who always changed the radio station in the store I used to work at.
Steris: I think he did Lyft with my sister.
Vivenna: Are you sure? I thought he worked at a bookstore with MY sister.
Sarene: I think I recognize him from my last office job. He never really seemed to do anything.
Adolin: How old IS this guy??
13. Rock: Makes the coffee...very strong
Rock: This is how we drink it where I’m from!
Customer: M-My tongue is dissolving!
14. Jasnah: Doesn’t like coffee
Shallan: You don’t like coffee??
Jasnah: I do not.
Shallan: You work in a coffee shop!
Jasnah: I don’t try to convince others to dislike coffee. 
Jasnah: But I do believe that it is an unnecessary contrivance that people depend too much on.
Shallan: I thought you pulled, like, constant all-nighters!
Jasnah: That’s just sheer willpower. 
15. Silence: Takes safety rules very seriously
Silence: Hey!
Silence: Wash out that cut, put on a band-aid, and wear gloves! You can’t bleed around food!
Silence: T-turn off that stove! You shouldn’t leave an open flame if you’re not heating something up!
Silence: AND NO RUNNING!

to tell you the truth, I've actually been taking an intentional break from drawing
I've started having creative energy again, but I've been having intense art block, so I'm pursuing other creative outlets. I started writing a fanfic, and I also got started on making a 3d model of my goodra, and I'm even working out how to mod a custom song I charted into a rhythm game I like. I'm hoping that I can come back to drawing feeling a little refreshed from all this afterward, since there's so much I still have to draw. I guess I'll have to suffer through it if not though, lol
anyway, that's what's been up with me, and why even the askblog has been pretty quiet. but hopefully I'll still have something to show for it! it's just that none of this can be done quite as quickly as a drawing can, so even if I do finish and show you all, there's a big wait

My (Painstakingly Plot-Spoiler Free) Thoughts on Nightbringer So Far:
Hello. I have played up through Lesson 7 out of 10. Here are my thoughts:
1. The rhythm game is difficult at first if you don't play the genre all the time, but even someone with a disability like myself can pick them up with some trial and error. Admittedly, I have found that knowing the songs inside and out really helps in that regard. Otherwise I flounder. All OM tracks (without dance beat) are on Spotify.
2. The game is like.... fun. Actually, legitimately fun. It probably helps that electronic j-pop is my jam, but I often find that even if my cards are strong enough to skip a stage, depending on the song, I really don't want to. The rhythm sections feel satisfying. Sometimes challenging, but not cheap (when it doesn't bug out). Which reminds me...
3. JANK. Oh good lord so much jank! The faces on 3d models are the stuff of nightmares. I honestly can't bring myself to look at them. Even if it's the only thing on screen, I glue my eyes to the text. Some things are a little buggy still, hits on the rhythm sectiond don't always register and I think the intimacy system is broke on mine. Mammon has had intimacy 5 then 6 then 5 then 6 then..... You get the idea. It resolves itself overtime, but it's ridiculous. Fix it.
4. Some small quality of life improvements all around. You no longer have to look at each new card individually to get stupid notification to go away, the phone is all one bundle now so you can check for calls and texts in the same place, you can actually SEE your own damn inventory through the gear menu button (finally), that kind of thing.
5. There's both good stuff and bad stuff on the grind front... I think the biggest double edge sword will be the new Skill Up cards. In theory, good! Because if a card goes out of availability you can still level up its skill with the right resources. Bad, in that it adds yet another currency item you need to farm and now, get this, parts of the Devil Tree are locked behind a certain skill level requirement. It... kinda bites pretty hard.
6. Without getting into spoiler territory, I love the story so far. It feels like a good balance between character drama and a decent amount of mystery in-between. Not to any payoffs yet, but very happy so far. I squint if the devs really believe that a newcomer is going to be able to follow along without any confusion, but I digress.
I will give a deeper breakdown of my impression of story and new! (old) characters in another post which will be spoiler marked to high heaven. Right now, I'm just playing as far as I can before I really gotta start grinding up levels and cards (read as: hit a brick wall). But look y'all!
Tumblr media
She learns!!! 🥲🥲 (And I know My Chance like the back of my hand so duh it's this song)

hey, this is Natsuki (Spices Collection)
I literally haven't ever heard vocaloid before but I love your art so much I want to explore it, any recommendations?
Hi and thanks!!! For me my intro were the rhythm games!
Project Mirai on 3DS, Project Future Tone/Megamix on PS4/PC or Project Sekai on mobile all have a lot of Classic Vocaloid songs you can experience. I guess if you're not into gaming you can search 'Classic Vocaloid Songs' on youtube and get similar results.
The idea that 'these characters have no practical canon and will change drastically to adapt to what's needed' is not only pretty central to everything, but is also all there 'is' to Vocaloid, so once you get a feel for that then you 'get' Vocaloid; and from there how you wanna engage with it is sorta up to you. Make music of your own, create your own playlist, try to perfect The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku on Extreme i dunno.
It's not like a video game with lore or mechanics you can discuss/ experience/master. Moreso just a vehicle to channel your creativity or enjoy that of others. I mostly just draw Miku designs and make silly comments on my moots' Miku draws. It's nice.
