Anime Check-in: "K" ep. 1 (rewatch)


Episode 1: The Red Clan are looking for someone, SCEPTER4 opposes them, schoolboy Yashiro gets mistaken for the person they're looking for and gets rescued by a guy named Kurou only to have him turn his sword on him, calling him an evil king (aka the one who killed the Red Clan's leader). Meanwhile a naked catgirl is running around.

Hard rewatching this knowing what happens to Mikoto.

Ahh the English, always fun to listen to. XD Izumo's wasn't too bad, he's voiced by Sakurai Takahiro.

Fukuyama Jun really suits Misaki's character.


Love angela!!!

Ughh the cat is so cute.

Noo I can only hear Hetalia Italy when Yashiro speaks!!! Man, he doesn't even look that much like the person Red Clan are looking for and his voice is different. But I'm biased. Kurou was like a white night swooping in to save him, there was no need to hold him like that. 😂😉



Two people in a row assuming Yashiro is evil without even doing enough research. 😭

Looking for introductions to decorative CSS on Dreamwidth?

I really like looking at the "codes" made for playlists and roleplay blogs like the ones on [profile] criscodes. But I don't have a good baseline for how CSS and HTML can be effectively used inside of posts on Dreamwidth. Cohost, obviously, was infamously permissive with what you could do with CSS; most "modern style" social media, meanwhile, doesn't even really let you insert tables or div elements to format, limiting in-post html/css to just some very bare bones text formatting at most.

Are there any tutorials or guides for how to learn to develop your own aesthetic playlist/muselist/ac tracker/muse inbox/etc "codes" from scratch? I'd really love to brush up on my fanciest css without necessarily editing my blog theme every time to do it.

bluapapilio: Characters from Men of the Harem webtoon (MotH guard and consort)
蝶になって ([personal profile] bluapapilio) wrote2025-12-19 11:38 am

Webtoon Check-in: "Men of the Harem" S1E1-8 (reread)


Previously read 51 chapters.

Episode 1-3: How long were Hyacinth and Latil together before he had to return home?

All Hyacinth had to do was send Latil a letter, she still would've been heartbroken but she wouldn't have been pining and expecting a proposal as long. Then again in the letter he would've said 'you can still be my concubine' and the same result could've happened. But the thing is, he still would've had concubines even if she became the Empress. I think it was purely the fact that he promised one thing and did another without even telling her or letting her down gently that broke her heart. And then of course how he tried to cajole her when they met again.

I appreciate that Aini was in the same boat but didn't go behind Latil's back, she confronted her directly and they both ended up being petty in their own ways to get revenge on Hyacinth.

Episode 4-5: Though she doesn't know it yet, Latil meets one of her future concubines, Prince Klein (who is Hyacinth's younger brother) after she gets drunk in the garden with the wine Aini gave her and basically forces him to participate and take a nap with her lmao



In her drunken state she mistook him for Hyacinth and said some things, now Klein thinks she's in love with him. 😅

I wonder where Sonnaught was during all this, anyway. His expressions are always funny.

"Please don't try to hide your rough and tumble nature for anyone, Your Highness. You are most charming when you are yourself." Must've been hard watching her be on her best behavior for Hyacinth. She only sees him as her brother's childhood friend who likes to tease her. Poor Sonnaught.


Episode 6: The question Latil asked Hyacinth also kinda applies to Sonnaught. "Could you accept me marrying someone and taking on consorts and concubines?" The answer for him is of course yes, even if she doesn't choose him he wants her to be happy, he will keep any sadness to himself.

It's sad that one woman gained more power to help her people but in return another lost her first love. I'm very curious what happens with Aini and Hyacine in the end.

Klein has a bad temper, that's why girls stayed back from him. Dude threw a glass against the wall because Latil went home and didn't come to his bed(??).

Episode 7: Latil just got home and learns MORE bad news. Her brother Raean stepped down from position of heir to the throne and it looks like Thula, the son of her father's consort, would take his place which Latil is against because of the heartbreak her mother had to go through because of the consort (Anaktcha). But the father tells her that SHE is the heir now.

The Great Prophet once said Raean would make a great ruler or a great prophet but that Latil had the potential to become a tyrant, though she could bring prosperity.

Two years of Latil studying later...

Thula does a hostile takeover while Latil is visiting her brother, supposedly killing their father so it's a fight to who can get the support of the nobles first. Lord Atraxil's wife is smart. Of course, she wants also her son Ranamun to be the royal consort.

Episode 8: Aaand another half a year. ...I think I blanked out that Latil's father really did get murdered. Damn. What he must've felt in those last moments. I'm sure he had faith in Latil but knowing that your choices led to this, and not being able to say goodbye to his wife.

Latil said that she's wanted to be Empress for 6 years?? That's long before she met Hyacinth. That means it hurt even more when Hyacinth married someone else because her dream was crushed too. Wait why Karisen though? Because she couldn't by Emperor of her own nation because her brother was going to be?

Her mother is staying at a temple, I wonder if it's the one Raean is at?

The father sent the nurse away after Latil become heir?? So she was gone for those two years. Did he suspect what would happen and that Latil would need her later?

MHA: World Heroes' Mission - oh my god is this allowed? Is this kind of peak allowed?

We finally watched the last two movies (so far, hopefully!!) for MHA: World Heroes' Mission, and You're Next.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much because I kept on reading that Heroes Rising (2nd movie) was the best out of the four, and I'm glad I kept those expectations low because I think I appreciate movies 3 and 4 more now this way. 💞😭

The animation quality just keeps on getting better, and Deku is a downright cutie in both movies. I also really love Rody (3rd movie) and Giulio (4th movie)! 

More thoughts for World Heroes' Mission in the cut below; it got too long so I will have to make a separate post for You're Next.

Spoilers for the whole series (even way past where the movies would have been in the story). Lots of squealing because oh my god, what is this? It's so yaoiful...

[MHA Ultra Age Translation] - Keep Hori-sensei off the caffeine...!

I'm currently translating the MHA Ultra Age Horikoshi Q&A section (Readers' Question Box) as like, a personal side project. I was maybe around 6 questions in when I went like, "Wait, how many questions are in this thing?" and... well... there's 73 of them!!

It's a bit of a struggle since I am also transcribing the original Japanese text from the book, and my god is the font tiny. I fear that by the time I'm finished with this, Viz will already have released an official translation.

Weird mind activities

Today I had such weird but fun adventures in my dreams. Two things dominated my mind tonight: ghosts and him.

Yes, I've been dreaming a little too much about ghosts, but, contrary to what others might think, I don't feel scared in these dreams. On the contrary, I feel such a comfort with them. Today I dreamt that I was a ghost boy watching people sleeping in a room. I didn't do anything to scare them, I just started having fun looking at things in the room. But after a while, I got bore and wanted to leave. But I couldn't because the door was locked. So I thought: if I'm a ghost, maybe I can get through this door. I tried, but it didn't work. So I sat on the floor, leaned my head against the door, closed my eyes and started to relax. I turned off all my thoughts, just felt my body relax until I couldn't felt it anymore , and then I finally managed to get through the door. When I did that, it was as if no one in the physical world could see me anymore. I entered the living room, but it wasn't exactly the same room as in the physical plane; it looked the same, but it was colder, the colors of everything around me were colder, and the atmosphere became very relaxing. It was as if I was literally floating, and as if my eyes were closed and open at the same time; it's kinda difficult to explain. I sat on the couch, feeling like I was on cloud nine. There was also one of those cats with the squashed face on the couch, but it seemed like it couldn't see me. Then I turned on the TV and played some games, as I normally would, except that i had no controller and haven't any idea of what I was playing. But it was pretty fun and calm. It was one of the best atmospheres I've ever had in a dream; i felt so comfortable, so welcome, that for a moment, I wished I was really a ghost. Now, I'm not saying I wanna die! I'm just saying that being a ghost for a while in my dreams was fun. Sometimes I really wish I could leave the physical plane for a while. Not live on this "ghostly plane" permanently, but when I just wanted no one to see me or talk to me and still be able to walk anywhere, I would really, really like that. And I realized that this concept is very interesting for a story, so I'll probably come with a ghost story with this concept soon. I really like ghostly concepts and was think to write something like that pretty times ago.

Now we've talked about calm and peaceful moments in my dreams, let's talk about a terrible and traumatizing one! Just kidding! Yes, surprisingly, I didn't have any bad or extremely weird dreams this night. Okay, the first dream might sounds weird, but compared to my usual dreams, it's pretty fine.

I mentioned in my last post that I found a guy from my art group I hadn't seen a while in a party, blah, blah, blah. And I also mentioned that i might have a little crush on him. Just a little bit. So little that I kinda dreamt with him this night. Uh... I don't control my dreams! In this dream, I was kinda arguing with someone in my family and decided to go out for fresh my mind. While walking, I saw him, and this time he saw me too. He spoke to me, which surprised me, but it made me happy. I don't remember what he was doing on my street, but anyway, we talked. And without me realizing it, we were walking down the streets, far from my home, talking about a bunch of things I also don't remember. And we bought some things in a store too, but I couldn't pay much attention, I was too focused on how unreal that moment seemed. Because, yes, in my antisocial life, talking to someone in public and buying something together in a store is an achievement of a friendship of at least 3 years. And I was right, it was all really UNREAL. Hahaha! (cries in the corner.) Anyway, this dream was so unreal that he brought me to his house, and even to his room, and hey! I'm not using any double meaning in the sentence, that's all it was! I went to his room and it was an fucking cool room, with a lot of cool things that cool people (nerds) would have. Like, many games on the floor, and I don't even play video games! (because I get anxious while doing it and that's why I haven't passed the second level of Sonic.) But if he had the UNREAL patience to wait for me to understand a simple puzzle to pass an initial level for about two hours, it would be really fun. And I also petted his fluffy cat that was in the room. I don't even know if he has a cat or any pet, but cool people usually have cats, so...

It was quite embarrassing to write this, I felt like a beggar asking for money on the street, but replace the money for attention. That's how I felt while writing, lmao. I have no idea about what his opinion about me and, that's can be kinda interesting. Like, trying to figure out what people think of you little by little. But it's also kinda weird and I feel like an obsessed weirdo, and i'm not like that, i swear! I'm only thinking about him now because it's been a while since I've seen him and I was happy to know he's doing well and maybe one day we can talk again. Anyway, what do you think of these such UNREAL fun dreams?! Hahaha! *pulls out a gu-*

[Hetalia] Whoo, new character

So the latest strip has Brazil!

I like his character design. It's cool that we finally have this character - I get the impression that a lot of people have wanted a design for Brazil for a long time. And it doesn't look that different from a lot of the fan designs out there.

Unfortunately, the storyline is still the gangster AU, and I have no idea what's going on these days. I kind of stopped paying attention after a while, because I'm just so not interested. It was kind of fun at first, what with the alternate costumes and so on, but like... I'm here for regular-flavour Hetalia, that's all.

Anyway! Hopefully we'll get more Brazil later on. In regular strips, thanks. And maybe also a colour illustration, plz & thank you.

Everything turned out fine!

I really wasn't sure what was going to happen.. I just decided that I needed to prioritize eating lunch before dealing with it. So.. I did that, and I kept trying to call, sort of assuming that maybe my mom backed out, like it wasn't that bad, and she didn't really need to go. But I couldn't get through, so I went to the ER looking for her.. I was pretty much anticipating that she might not be there, but as it turned out, she was there! I had no problem going back to see her... I mean, you see me post about all my hospital adventures, I sorta anticipated that I might know the whole ER staff by now, but as it turned out, I didn't recognize a single person there! I don't think it's my bad memory, I am pretty sure that hospital staff just like moving around a lot, that's my guess.

Anyway, I made it back and brought her some cookies, and talked to the attending staff. They did not keep her there for long at all, and as it turned out, my mom just got an xray on her shoulder a few weeks ago, so they just gave her a referral for PT and told her to keep in touch with her regular doctor. It was not a visit, and afterwards we went and got some sushi which is what we often do on Wednesday. I love the sushi, but it bothers me that multiple grocery stores in town have security guards with guns. I just can't tell her what to do, so what she does is what she does, what can I do, oh well.

From then on, pretty much just a standard Wednesday... Today's AoT, how interesting, listed as 4/5 difficulty, but the center is the same as something she taught years ago in the beginning of the year.. but yeah, it is a little difficult, I would say. I don't know if I'm doing anymore for the rest of the month even. I finished my goal, and I have a cold. This cold is not horrible, but I keep telling myself I want it to stay that way, so I'm sorta trying to take it easy. Even with that, I still find myself going for walks in the cold weather, how stupid I must be... but it's not the flu! You don't shut down your whole life just for a cold. I may end up folding some more in a few days, but for now.. I'm pretty much at a deadlock.. I have 24x hex grids left, so I can do any project from this season or last very easily, but I sorta just want to fold more grids... and I want to do some of the 22', 23' projects, which would be 16x paper. I have no shortage of paper, a lot of how great, except I can't decide what paper to use for which projects... there's a couple of experimental things that I want to try out, but with this cold, I just keep saying.. hold off a few days. Some of these projects require making some semi annoying decisions. I could call them arbitrary, but there's a large range of what's acceptable, which makes it very difficult to make any decision at all!! That's what I mean by deadlocked lol.

wolves are everywhere.

I called my mom and she's complaining that her right arm is in pain. She literally just got two toes chopped off this year, so I know she's not making up having problems, but there is only so much I can deal with. I ended up in extreme agony last night. I took my medicine which helps me sleep, but my system needs some pretty strict adherence of some rules to do ok. I already know what the rules are, and I just love trying to stretch them out, trying to tell myself that I'm a normal healthy person, and I'm just not. And everyone keeps giving me these absolutely stupid situations that I don't want to deal with, no one would want to deal with. They do have some stretches, so it's not like the worst it could possibly be, but it is still pretty not great, and if everyone would just get out of the fascist regime that is going to end up shooting themselves in the face, then I would not be having these problems.

So I told my mom to go to the hospital on her own and I will meet her there. Wolves are everywhere, because I have no idea when she is telling the truth about what she is going through versus making up some stressful situation because I'm convinced that she does that. I would love to be going to the hospital with her, but my elastic band of stress dealing only goes so far, so I am waiting until I eat lunch so that I can deal with what time brings. I can thankfully eat lunch very early, so I should be going to meet her at the hospital unless she decides that she doesn't need to go. I feel almost like a horrible person because I'm not walking to the hospital with her, but I already know that if I eat my lunch first, I will be able to deal with any stresses of the situation sooooo much better. There is a way about it where I feel more responsible and rational because of making this decision.

I called her at 9:30 in the morning and she wakes up by 7 every day... I have tried calling her since 8:30 and she didn't answer so I don't know where she was, but then she suddenly answers at 9:30 and says "come over, let's go to the hospital." Like I'm convinced that she has had at least an hour or two to get there on her own, and just waited to throw some freak out campaign at me. How I anticipate so many people in the neighborhood also feel this way about my actions too. Argh, the lose lose of bad health.

My mom's health is definitely not doing great. She got two toes cut off this year, and she has the tremors, which is newly developed, like so new, like I just noticed them yesterday and wonder if she is sick kind of new. It scares me of course to see that. So I am glad that she is going to the doctor, but she sees doctors very regularly, I go to many of her appointments with her and talk to her doctors... it is a bunch of oddness that I have no idea what to do with because I am sick too. I'm always at the hospital either for myself or for her. No, thankfully I'm still getting a fair amount of time away from the hospital too, but I really do end up spending a ton of time there.

Game Check-in: Food Fantasy Main Story Kingdom 3, Nevras

Main Story

Nevras

"Based on literature, when the evil spirit, Ottovia was sealed in the Eight Peaks, the saints saw the tears of sorrow and unwillingness shed. Over time it gradually converged into a lake at the end of the eight peaks."

The basis of awakening Food Souls is the magic crystals formed around Eight Peaks due to the extreme temperatures there.

The Academy is controlled by Gloriville but due to Palata's neutrality, they can provide financial support. There is contention about this buy the Royal Family has not spoken about it.

Elves used to live in the Polar Snowfield, there are ancient buildings left but it's too dangerous for adventurers to explore.

Looking at the locations illustrations, Nevras really is quite pretty. Too bad it's hard to enjoy it while freezing your ass off;;

Determination: Since the guild and academy are controlled by the Royal Family, MC wants to get permission to enter the latter.

A New Companion: Olivia obtained a distribution license, Olivia transferred to MC's branch to be nearby to help easier.

Winterland: Aw, Rice bringing a pot of tea, so thoughtful. :') They encounter what might a be student and help her against Fallens chasing her.

Break Through to the Academy: The first person they run into at the academy is an arrogant rude guy, even Olivia gets mad, The minister of the Chef's guild, Lockheed, shows up. He orders them away though. A student named Mithra has escaped (are students locked in??) and MC-tachi are ordered to bring her back.

Find Her: They encounter a geological surveyor waiting for their own food order who saw the girl heading to Blue Stone Town with a bunch of strange stones.

Take Back Control: They go to Blue Stone Town and help get the facility running after it broke down.

A Dangerous Time: They find Mithra on the beach.

Reasonable: She made a deal with the Fallen Angel Queen Conch to find out more about them. I guess her end is feeding her blue crystals, but the group destroyed them trying to help Mithra.

From the Academy: Mithra knows about the syringes and spills everything! A team formed 15 years ago to study Fallen Angels, they made a lot of breakthroughs, Using the crystals, they were able to transform and mutate other species, including humans, into Fallen Angels?! That can't be ethical...... The royal family approved it wtf but one of the team was murdered and their research was wiped. Sounds like Sakurajima still has something to do with it.

Cross the Sea: Sakurajima has been cut off for 300 years. There only choice it seems is to taking a fishing boat from Blue Stone Town.

The Town Leader's Assistance: They get permission to use the boat and provide food for the villagers since they won't be able to fish (why do they only have one fishing boat??).

The Evil God's Tears: Why don't they maintain the boat that provides fish for them?? Especially since it sounds like they don't have other boats. 'They all got destroyed'. They say they can fix the messed up hull but for some reason ordinary wood won't work, they need to get water from the lake and dip the wood in it. And for some reason they can't just gather some water in a pot and dip the wood at their leisure, they have to go out on the ship and awkwardly dip it into the water. And of course there's Fallen Angels! Mithra took some of the water, I wonder what she wants to combine it with?

Fall: Mithra delayed their leaving because she wanted mud...

New Archaeological Find: I...they fall into a hole?? Their whole boat or what? It's the 'Catacombs' underneath. The Academy dug an entrance but this is a different one and there are ancient engravings on the walls.

The Hidden One: Mithra reads an engraving about Light and Dark spirits that says they come from the same ancestors. At one point the world was almost destroyed and civilization was divided in two. Rice can read the engravings. There is 'another world' on the other side of the mountains but no one has lived to tell about it. I can honestly understand Mithra's reluctance to leave, a treasure trove of knowledge is right there...

Relentless Pursuit: The Spectra Fallen Angel followed them out so Olivia and Ichi save them. Why is he so hot?

Set Sail: I'd have thought Mithra would've wanted to get back to the academy to do her research but she's going with them. A red fog surrounds them and knocks everyone out. 😵 Is that Sakurajima's way of taking care of visitors?

I think I might have stopped around Palata in my first read-through? I'm excited to read events stuff agh.
