"And I believe that is the last of the Valentines. Isn't this such a lovely end to White Day?"

"This is...surprisingly wholesome for you, Unknown. What's the catch?"

"Who says there has to be a catch?"

"I don't know...something about it still sends chills down my spine. There's something off about it."

"Oh, there's absolutely nothing off about it. Just enjoy your time on stage."

"Ugh...are you referring to that stand-up comedy routine I did for White Day? I thought we were going to see a show...why was I the star of it?"

"Don't you like being a star?"

"I'm not a comedian! But it is nice if I managed to bring some smiles to the crowd...and my Valentine. Hopefully in a good way..."

"Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and White Day."

"I sure did!"

[rolls her eyes]

"I saw that! Don't tell me you're still mad!"

"You know what this calls for? A feast!"

"For spring?"

"For spring, Valentines, White Day, and creepy fellows."

"Why do i have a feeling that last one is aimed at me? Kihihi!"

"Do you really need to ask?"

"Well then, let's have some fun."

"...Ridiculous."

---

All right, that should be the last of the White Day replies! If you sent me something within the time frame and I somehow missed you, let me know and I will see about fixing that.

@serphantel sent this Valentine to the deer, the kitten, and Night respectively:

Night's White Day reply:

"Haha, the deer and the kitten look really cozy on that boat...or are they actually there to judge you while you woo?"

"Why would they be there to judge - huh...you know, they are looking pretty intensely...maybe it's a good thing we're not on that White Day outing?"

"What are you doin' on a date that you're worried about a deer and a cat lookin' at you? It's just a deer and a cat."

"It's not 'just' a deer and a cat! It's a deer and a kitten!"

"'kay. Big whoop."

"if you aren't careful...they'll eat all the food while you're on your White Day trip!"

"Right...don't think that's what the two bozos are nervous about."

"Oi!"

"Who are you calling bozos?! You don't think it would be odd to be stared at throughout the whole evening?"

"And to have to watch your food all night..."

"Speaking of food, I spy with my little eye something...interesting."

[He looks at the woods. A bulky shadow sways from a distant tree branch. He heads over to take a look.]

"Aha, he's gone!"

[Ambrosia crouches down and reaches out to start stroking the kitten's head.]

"Aww, you're so cute...it took every bit of me to resist tellnig Sir X - Lady Bo-Peep is right! It's not just a deer and a kitten...they are absolute adorableness.

Hehe...I'm so glad Lady Serph gave me this secret extra something. Although, I didn't think he should have the full cookie so I ate most of it. It was delicious! If you have more, I would certainly be happy to partake.

Now, here's a treat for you, little kitty..."

[When Night has gone over, he sees a jar hanging from a branch with a rope. Inside the jar is a quarter of a cookie. He smiles as he reaches up for it.]

"And here, I almost thought there would be...something else hanging here. It's just a cookie."

[Popping open the jar, he withdraws the cookie and take a bite.]

To anyone who saw my Part 1 post—welcome back! This is Part 2 of what I submitted for Poison Apple Tales’ annual Valentine Event!

Just like Part 1, this includes:

Friendship Valentine Grams for the ladies

Romantic Valentine Grams for the guys

And a few extra surprises I started 10 months ago before life got busy

I also included the animals from the game—Caramel, the kitties, and others I might’ve forgotten.

And for anyone who sees Valentine’s Day differently, whether you’re celebrating love, friendship, healing, or self‑love, I hope this brings you a little warmth today.

"Hahaha! What kind of wrestling tips are those?"

"Look, I had to fit them on candy hearts, all right? Besides, it totally makes sense."

"Those hot wings sure are good, huh?"

"I bet you would be the one to weep at the intensity of the spice."

"What, like you?"

"Tch! W-Well...it takes one to know one!"

"Thank you very much for the creams and everything! It will be so nice to have a ladies' spa trip. I just hope my advice before didn't you get you into any trouble with Sir Thunder..."

"My...lemonade is that spicy, huh?"

"is anyone going to explain why Onyx killed Tattoo Guy?"

"As you can see, it's on King Barium's orders."

"Okay, I see that...but why did he order it?"

[smiles]"Order what? I'm just ordering ice cream."

"Maybe he was just randomized. Like in Among Us. Ooh, let's play again!"

"Are you trying to get somebody else killed on Mars?!"

"Oh? Who says it has to be Mars? Let's fly to the moon instead...kehehe!"

(It was accidental that Thunder plushie was present - so decided to include him as like a mini hidden game for Part 1) ⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔ 🤍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐒 ⋆｡‧˚ʚ🍭ɞ˚‧｡⋆ ♨️ (To Unknown): I dare myself to taste the Unknown heehee~ ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵) (probably gonna need to take with me 🥛) 🧀 (To Count): 🧐 Well if I need to count the pepper flakes, I'll need to count each one very closely.... 🍎 (To Apple Guy): This brought me nostalgia - reminding me of caramel apple *happily eats* ༄.° And of course~ Please look forward to next year~ ( • ᴗ - ) ✧ 🍋 (To Arsenik): No~ ₍₍⚞(˶˃ ꒳ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾ I don't think you're Unknown - It's just nice to hear you use different nicknames is all~ Teehee~ 🤎 (To Grant): Sounds right - let's give it a shot~ ☕ Toast - to experimentation~ *clink* 🎃 (To Chase): I kid you not - I thought the same - 𝕨𝕙𝕪 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕡𝕖𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕣?!

Thank you as always, Poison Apple Tales team! ✨ I’ll continue supporting you all in spirit. Looking forward to doing this again in 2027~ --------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who don’t look forward to days like this: I hope life sends you a quiet kindness today — a reminder that your story is still unfolding, and there is room in it for joy that fits you, not anyone else’s expectations.

Sherryl sent this Friendship Valentine to Chase:

Here is Chase's response:

"...This isn't the first time you've had your face in the sky, you know. Do you really think this is suitable for White Day?"

"What's wrong with it? You have something against clouds? And birds?"

"I have nothing against clouds and birds. But if you want to look like you died on your card every year, be my guest."

"It's not even in black and white! It can't make me look dead! Does it?"

"You definitely look like a dead man."

"Yeah, totally dead."

"I can see it."

"Seriously?!"

"W-Well...it could also look like someone's thinking about you and hasn't seen you in a while. Maybe like a flashback?"

"To someone who's dead. Kyehehe..."

"Oh, come on! How does nobody think of, like, flying kites? And eating chicken?"

"If that's what you want to do, then just take your next Valentine on that kind of date."

"I will!"

"So you'll knock the birds dead in front of her? How savage..."

✨ Happy Valentine’s Day! ✨

Here is Part 1 of my Valentine Friendship & Romance Grams for the Poison Apple Tales Valentine Event!

This part includes:

Friendship Grams for the ladies

Romantic Valentine Grams for the guys

A little chaos, a little sweetness, and lots of love

Fun note: The apple wearing a hat is meant to represent Apple Guy — I used a fake apple prop wearing a mini traditional PH hat from a past event!

Thank you to @poisonappletales for hosting this event again this year. I always have so much fun making these, and I’m happy I finished it right on Valentine’s Day.

"What's a White Day gumball? Is it...like a ball of gum?"

'Since it's White Day, it makes more sense for it to be a ball of white chocolate."

"Then why does it have the word 'gum' in it?"

"Well...clearly, it's because it resembles a wadded up ball of gum!"

"That...doesn't really make any sense."

"It makes perfect sense. You don't make any sense!"

"Does anyone want to try giving a treat to the deer? I'd like to see what gumball I receive..."

"Do they come in different gum flavors?"

"They should all taste like white chocolate since it's White Day!"

"No offense, but I'm not sure I want the Great Grandmother-flavored gumball..."

"Eh? Why not?"

"A-Ambrosia! Uh...I mean...I mean..."

"He probably thinks it tastes like prunes and dried pickles or something. Even though it should all taste like white chocolate."

"I never said that! You said that!"

"I'm sure the Great Grandmother gumball is a treasure. So you shouldn't underestimate it."

"O-Of course not!"

"No need to underestimate chocolate!"

"So it seems everyone is ignoring the floating elephants in the room. I am curious to see what everyone's guesses are in this game of whodunit..."

---

"You and your poems..."

"No need to be jealous just because it isn't in your wheelhouse."

"Who says it isn't?! And...who has a wheel house, anyway?!

...W-What's that look for? I'm not the one with houses for wheels!"

"Ah, Sir Chase...it's a phrase. Something being in your wheelhouse means it's one of your strengths."

"Oh...I knew that!"

"Highly doubtful given every hilarious thing you were saying earlier."

"Oh, knock it off! There are wheel houses and then...there are wheelhouses, okay?!"

"I was trying to be reassuring. Well, maybe I was teasing you a little bit since you were being rather negative. There's nothing wrong with being good at different things."

"I can do poems, too! I'm pretty sure I have before!"

"Then you shouldn't have an issue with the poems I write for White Day, right?"

"Urk...I-I'm just saying, there's no need to be all fancy!"

"Now, now, Sir Chase, just let Sir Arsenik and his Valentine have a nice White Day today."

"This is starting to sound like your motto this time around."

"I'm just trying to make sure everyone has a nice White Day. Maybe there's a little more tension this year?"

"I don't know. The Trold and the Hulder never really get along."

"But they could."

"Either way, Miss @liversquiver, I truly appreciate the flowers. I...don't know if I have ever received flowers before myself. I'll treasure them."

The above is a Valentine sent by @automaticcheesecakenacho​!

(On my end, the audio does not play on default. If it’s the same for you, I recommend hitting the icon button for the sound that’s located on the lower right of the video! It’s in the shape of a speakerphone. You may need to hit play on the video first before you can click it!)

Here is part 1 of the White Day reply:

“It was so much fun seeing everyone’s quiz answers last time. This time, this should be a little easier, I think? There’s perhaps just one or two tricky ones…”

“Who’s this Luci and…Meena?”

“I believe they’re from the Monstrous Desires world. If anyone hasn’t read that yet…” [smiles] “That will certainly increase the difficulty level.”

“I can’t wait to see everyone’s guesses.”

“I don’t even know what you’re doing there with me…”

“That’s what I want to know!”

“Oh, and I see Onyx chose the date location that his Valentine asked him about. It’s right there, at the back of the restaurant.”

“Were we supposed to be singing, rapping or doing a poem? It was real weird working together with you on the same card, Arsenik.”

“Honestly, I preferred if you went first so I could see what your…style was. But you went with what I more or less predicted so I see my opening line was a safe choice like I thought.”

“Wait, what exactly were you predicting I’d do?”

“I assumed you would say whatever came to mind. Sort of like a free verse. And probably include a fire reference at some point.”

[Being read so easily gives X the chills.]

“…I’m not sure what to make of ya.”

“Who else wants to go to Sizzler?”

“I am uncertain what the Sizzler refers to…but Miss Ambrosia! Please tell me you made extras of that scrumptious dish!”

“Of course. Please help yourself.”

“Here’s a free hint. Remember that Ambrosia is the one who prepared this dish and that may reflect how she plates the sushi or chooses which one to make.

“Well…take a look at those glamour shots.”

“Ehe…the tiger is rather adorable with all those sparkles.”

“Eesh. The second guy is the face of nightmares. I don’t know if I want any of those things up there. Actually, I’d take the cologne just to support my brother. But it’s kind of funny imagining him on the face of one.”

“Don’t you want to know what’s in the purple stuff?”

“Did you write that advertisement or something?”

“At least every man has now officially received a Valentine.”

“All except for one, if I’m not mistaken. Does this man seem familiar to any of you?”

“Who is he?”

“Honestly, I haven’t the faintest idea who this is.”

“I can’t even tell if he’s cute with that big hat in the way!”

“Right, well…I suppose we might as well call him the Apple Guy from the Monstrous Desires world.”

“He can cry in apples then.”

“Now, now, I think it’s time to see the answers to the sushi quiz, wouldn’t you say? Sir Apple Guy, if you’re reading this, just…look at this!”

“Forgive me if I still made the quiz a little too difficult. Someone wanted to know which ones I thought were tricky…well, here’s what I was thinking for each one.”

1 - “Two out of three of you pegged this correctly as Lady Bo-Peep’s. Lady Bo-Peep feels colorful and luxurious to me! Her hair is red too, hence the reddish sheen.”

2 - “I tried to make this sushi more warrior-like, which would be just like Lady Brooks. The green part is supposed to stick out like the tufts of hair that come out of her ponytail.”

3 - “I’ll admit, I didn’t know Lady Luci very well at all so I wasn’t sure what to put on her sushi…I ended up with this very simple one.”

4 - “4 and 6 are meant to be similar because they both represent my cousins. But I wanted to make sure the center was unique and suited to each. I’m very familiar with Lady Rosemary. Likewise, this sushi has a familiar design but is no less tasty! Its center is bright, and I made sure it’s orange just like her hair.”

5 - “Ah, nobody guessed this one. Did I not make this Grandmother-like enough? Since she is my grandmother, I gave her a place of honor - the very center of the plate. She is graceful and prestigious. And yes, there is meant to be a faint similarity to 4 and 6 since they are all related.”

6 - “Everyone guessed this one correctly! This is indeed Lady Jasmine’s and you can tell by the jewel-like center.”

7 - “I thought this might throw people off a bit…but Lady Evie has a big personality and can be rather bubbly and outgoing. For a while, I was debating whether Lady Bo-Peep and her should actually switch places. Both sushi could technically suit either one, which is why I thought this and 1 were tricky. But even though Lady Bo-Peep actually has green eyes, I thought the pair of leaves might better represent Lady Evie’s green-eyed nature…”

8 - “This is meant to be similar to 2 because Lady Wildfire and Lady Brooks are best friends. The black ‘belt’ is reminiscent of being a warrioress, similar to 2’s dark 'suit’ of 'armor.’”

9 - “Two out of three people thought this was Grandmother. I think I can see how you came to that guess! But this was actually meant to be Lady Meena, which one did guess right. The seeds on top are meant to look similar to a ribbon, like the one in front of her blouse and what’s surely holding up her hair in a side ponytail. And since she’s friends with Lady Luci, I tried to make 3 and this one have a certain similarity.”

10 - “And then there’s me. Um…to be honest, it felt a little strange making a sushi to represent myself…”

“You don’t think much of yourself so you’re a pipsqueak.”

“Oh, that wasn’t what I was thinking at all!”

“Right. I’m sure you just weren’t thinking.”

“i think it’s rather like candy. It might be small but full of flavor. If it’s the last thing you eat, perhaps it serves as a palate cleanser, but if eaten first, it prepares the way for the other flavors, enhancing them or even unifying them.”

“That’s a real poetic way to say she’s a pipsqueak on the plate. Is this a review for a cooking competition all of a sudden?”

“If it is, I’m sure Miss Ambrosia is the winner.”

[sarcastically:] “Of course. She had no one to compete with.”

“Hmm…sounds like you want a real cooking battle, Imugi.”

And that is it for the White Day replies! If I missed your card, please do let me know.

These are the White Day replies!

[chuckle] "That's all you have to put on your White Day card, Onyx?"

"Happy White Day."

"Oh my. Sir Dominic really ruined that wedding certificate..." [giggle]

[teasing] "Ruined it? Or improved it?"

"If I was at a Niku no Kabe cafe, I feel like I wouldn't be able to stop blushing..."

"I'd never want to leave!"

"Oh, and the answer key to this 'quiz' will be coming soon. Shall we make a bet? If you get most of the answers right, I'll give you a treat. But if you get most of them wrong, I might have to punish you..."

"So why did you choose that one, Onyx? You had four date options."

"Out of all the options, it seemed like the safest location to take her on a date."

"I'm guessing the dog in the lower left won't be a very nice doggie..."

"That's a dog? Well, if anyone could tame a dog-like beast like that, I'm sure you'd find a way."

[sarcastic] "Sure, just feed it some ice cream. Or that sushi of yours."

"Nobody touches the sad sushi! Also, I don't think it's wise to feed dogs treats like those...they would have to be made of dog-safe food or dog treats."

"Why are there fruits on the header when it's called a Wall of Meat?"

"Well, after having so much meat, fruit will be a refreshing palate cleanser."

"What would a reverse Wall of Meat look like?"

"You mean, if a man were to be surrounded by shapely women? I imagine it'd look like the king's harem."

"Good luck with your guesses, everyone!!"

Here are the White Day replies!

"...If you don't have much experience with confessing or being in relationships, I'm not sure how helpful your advice is, Lady Ambrosia."

"Even if I haven't been with a man before, Lady Jasmine, I do have my observations!

But I do believe trusting your intuition is important, even when it comes to things outside of confessing to someone you like."

"You should've included something about looking your best, too!"

"Ah, I think it'd be better to say...be confident! If looking good helps you to be more confident, then you can certainly do so. It doesn't hurt."

[rolling her eyes] "You give such boring, cookie-cutter advice. Forget about confessing. Just give the guy a smooch. You'll know if he likes you then."

[blushing] "Um...that's a very bold move. It's also possible it may not be appreciated so I...well, I don't know if I'd be able to do that..."

"No duh."

"Not to mention, Sir Thunder might be dangerous so I was including a lot of safety tips..."

"It is almost unbelievable that Grant of the Trold received a Valentine. He also made his card design really simple..."

"There's nothing wrong with simple. Or with him receiving a Valentine! My brother deserves to have one!"

"His wrestling tips could use some work. But cool dog."

"Haha! Is everyone just criticizing everyone's advice today? At least there's nothing to complain about with mine."

"I don't know. I feel like you're kind of copying my Valentine's style."

"No, I'm not. Mine has sushi and yours ice cream."

"They're both food!"

"Um...why does the sushi on the left look like it's crying? I don't think anyone should eat that one."

"Hah, making it your pet now?"

"I'll make it a very happy sushi. I'm just not sure what sushi...eats?"

"Say, Arsenik. You prefer my confession 'tip' over Ambrosia's, don't you?"

"Oh, of course not. Miss Ambrosia gives perfectly sound advice so I wholeheartedly recommend seeing her if the confessor is unsure about things."

[murmuring:] "Never mind the fact that If Miss Ambrosia were to follow your advice with the wrong man...it could completely ruin her first kiss."

Here are some extra confessing tips from Ambrosia, tailored for each man!

Here is Ambrosia's answer, along with the boys' White Day replies:

"Lady Ambrosia, what's with all the trees in your wishlist?"

"Trees are nice. A-Also...I've never had a Valentine's Day with someone before so I wasn't too sure what else to list."

"I like that you listed 'whatever you would like to do' at 6 PM."

"You might also note that she included a question mark at the end of it so whether she agrees to it or not would depend on the nature of it.

More importantly, she shouldn't be on a Valentine date with a scoundrel who would take advantage of her."

"Oh, but what if she likes it?"

"GET OFF MY PHONE, VIKTOR."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY PHONE?!"

"YOU TEXTED ME, YOU DIMWIT!"

"BUT HOW DID YOUR NUMBER END UP IN MY PHONE?!"

"YOU'RE ASKING ME?!"

"Want to continue our D&D adventure, Arsenik?"

"I'm sorry. What was that? It's hard to hear you over all the shouting."

"I ASKED IF YOU WANTED TO CONTINUE OUR ADVENTURE."

"WHAT ADVENTURE?"

"ARE YOU SENDING US ON AN ADVENTURE TO HUNT DOWN THE EVIL WARTHOG?"

"WHO SAYS THE WARTHOG IS EVIL? LEAVE THE WARTHOG ALONE!"

"WHY IS EVERYONE SHOUTING?!"

"YOU STARTED IT!"

"NO, I DIDN'T! YOU DID!"

"WHO WANTS HOT CHOCOLATE?"

"I don't know if I ever heard you raise your voice before. It's kind of weird."

The first collection of Valentines (#1-10) are for you Crown Ruler and it spells out "Beauty And The War X Playing Pieces Happy Valentine's Day." Hope that's ok~ After sharing all of the first collection of Valentines, I will share the second collection of Valentines where it's to each of the same characters that I sent to last year. I apologize that I do not know how to share the 10 Valentine images here at the same time, but I did create a Tumblr post showcasing the 10 Valentine images (only for the first collection). I tried to include the URL share link under "insert/edit image" but in case it doesn't work in the submission form, here it is:

Here is Part 1 of the First Valentine Collection and it spells out "Beauty."

She also wrote:

Please refer to the first submitted Valentine collection description for information. This is part 2 of the first Valentine collection for Crown Ruler and this one spells out "And." (I forgot to mention for both the first Valentine collection and the second Valentine collection that I had a picture of Thunder that you drew last year hidden in all the Valentine grams as like a "Can you spot Thunder?" sort of mini game that I did for fun 😊)

The boys' response:

"That is some recipe, Imugi. I shudder to think of you garnishing a corpse with a package of ramen noodles."

"If a Vi body can't be found, a Hulder substitute will suffice."

"You should definitely work out after a meal."

"Shouldn't you work out before a meal?"

"Well, if you were to work out after a full meal, you should wait two to three hours. But it's okay to do something light, like taking a walk. It's actually better for you!"

[sarcastically] "Thanks for the fitness advice nobody asked for."

[teasingly] "It's not what was asked for, but it's what was needed. ♥ And Sir Wind, you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to cook a dead body!"

"Who says it's cooked?"

"Sir Wind, you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to cook a raw body!"

"If you ask me, an Onyx kick is a pretty light stretch, right?"

[muttering] "Speak for yourself! I'm not doing them!"

"I don't want to do any of these because I don't like their names. I don't want to wave at Alexandrite!"

"Oh no. I'm starting to have a craving for ramen now."

"Oh, so now you want what I'm cooking."

@automaticcheesecakenacho sent several wonderful Valentines! I will divide them in parts so you can relish the Valentines and their corresponding White Day replies.

Here's the first segment! These are her Valentines for X, Night, Viktor, King Barium, Chase and Onyx respectively:

For X, she wrote: "This is my first time (I believe) posting on Tumblr so hope I'm doing this right~ Made a Valentine for X here~ Credit to Capcom, Canva, and Poison Apple Tales."

For Night: "Made a Valentine for Night~ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales."

For Viktor: "Made a Valentine for Viktor~ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

For King Barium: "Made a Valentine for Barium~ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

For Chase: "Made a Valentine for Chase~ ^0^ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

For Onyx: "Made a Valentine for Onyx~ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

Here are the boys' replies:

And here's a bonus from King Barium:

"There wasn't enough room for me to say everything I wanted!"

"What else did you want to say?"

"I -"

"Oh, and you know Onyx. More of the silent type so he didn't have anything to say on the card but I'm sure he appreciates what you're giving him." [pause] "Right?"

"I -"

"Barium, your exercise tips sound horrible. You sound like someone who doesn't know how to work out."

"Well, it is good to listen to your body. If you're in pain, then you should stop and not push yourself any further."

"What happened to no pain, no gain?"

"If you're not used to certain exercises, you might feel the burn, but you have to know when too much is too much. You shouldn't be in excruciating agony or feel like you want to cry out!

If you have any dizziness, chills, headaches, blurred vision, nausea or severe pain, please do stop."

"Okay, nurse Ambrosia is in the house."

"Oh, forget about it! The moment's passed."

"You forgot what you were going to say, didn't you?"

"I just said the moment's passed! And if I did, can you blame me when people are talking about exercise over there?!"

[half-teasing] "Yes, all this talk of chills and nausea must be...very distracting. Makes you want to go exercise now, doesn't it?"

@automaticcheesecakenacho sent these Valentines to Thunder, Unknown and Wind respectively:

She also sent these friendship Valentines to Prince Alexandrite and Ambrosia:

For Thunder, she wrote: "Made a Valentine for Thunder~ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

For Unknown: "Made a Valentine for Unknown~ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

For Wind: "Last but not least, made a Valentine for Wind~ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

For Prince Alexandrite: "Was able to make time to make a Valentine for Alexandrite~ I was only able to draw the back of his head because I was only able to find one CG of him with just the back view. Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

For Ambrosia: "And finally, the last Valentine is for Ambrosia~ I'm very happy to have befriend her in "Ambrosia's~" Love to see more of works like this if possible~ Credit to Canva and Poison Apple Tales~"

Here are the White Day responses:

"And just so we are clear...the text above in my card is from Wind and the text below is from moi."

"Everyone can see that, Captain Obvious."

"I just told you I didn't want to be on the same card as you again."

"Ahahaha! At least there are no cupcakes in sight this time, hmm?"

"But where's Sir Thunder?"

"Where's the prince?"

"Clearly both avoiding spoilers, hahaha!"

"While you love breaking the fourth wall."

"Forget about my brother."

"Oh, that's no good...this is the first time he received a Valentine, too.

By the way, Lady @automaticcheesecakenacho, if you'd like to confess to Sir Thunder, I could help you. I'll support you with whoever you like! Although, I'm a little worried since Sir Thunder is rather...well...

Not that I would let anything happen to you!"

"Where are you going with this?"

"Ah, wait, I have an idea!"

"What? Do we really want to know what it is?"

"This is only what I imagine Sir Thunder would say so please take it with a grain of salt. ♥

@automaticcheesecakenacho sent this Valentine to Arsenik:

Arsenik's White Day reply:

"...Are you showing more of him as a waiter or as a host here?"

"Host, waiter - they're fairly similar, aren't they?"

"They've got some differences. Never been to a host cafe, club, whatever, but from what I hear -"

"WE SHOULD HAVE ENDED WITH THE TEDDY BEAR."

✨ Happy Valentine’s Day! ✨

Here is Part 1 of my Valentine Friendship & Romance Grams for the Poison Apple Tales Valentine Event!

This part includes:

Friendship Grams for the ladies

Romantic Valentine Grams for the guys

A little chaos, a little sweetness, and lots of love

Fun note: The apple wearing a hat is meant to represent Apple Guy — I used a fake apple prop wearing a mini traditional PH hat from a past event!

Thank you to @poisonappletales for hosting this event again this year. I always have so much fun making these, and I’m happy I finished it right on Valentine’s Day.

"What's a White Day gumball? Is it...like a ball of gum?"

'Since it's White Day, it makes more sense for it to be a ball of white chocolate."

"Then why does it have the word 'gum' in it?"

"Well...clearly, it's because it resembles a wadded up ball of gum!"

"That...doesn't really make any sense."

"It makes perfect sense. You don't make any sense!"

"Does anyone want to try giving a treat to the deer? I'd like to see what gumball I receive..."

"Do they come in different gum flavors?"

"They should all taste like white chocolate since it's White Day!"

"No offense, but I'm not sure I want the Great Grandmother-flavored gumball..."

"Eh? Why not?"

"A-Ambrosia! Uh...I mean...I mean..."

"He probably thinks it tastes like prunes and dried pickles or something. Even though it should all taste like white chocolate."

"I never said that! You said that!"

"I'm sure the Great Grandmother gumball is a treasure. So you shouldn't underestimate it."

"O-Of course not!"

"No need to underestimate chocolate!"

"So it seems everyone is ignoring the floating elephants in the room. I am curious to see what everyone's guesses are in this game of whodunit..."

Here’s my ranking of who’s most likely to have yeeted Tattoo Guy into the Mars vats… 🔎🩸👀🔦🗡️⏳

(6) King Barium

Too normal. Suspiciously normal. But I feel like he’d need a personal motive before committing Mars‑vat murder.

(5) Dev

Maybe he did it in the woods and that’s why there’s a plant on his head. But like King Barium, he usually needs a reason before doing something drastic. (4) Faceless Killer’s Friend

Canonically has helped FK before, but this could be a red herring. If he’s guilty, how guilty is he? Direct? Indirect? Just following orders?

(3) Faceless Killer

Buying a shovel is basically a confession. But it feels almost too obvious. Maybe he hired someone else and just supervised the yeeting.

(2) Dominic

His alibi is oddly specific and feels like a distraction. Also… he’s shady. Enough said.

(1) Onyx

Sometimes the most innocent aren’t so innocent. He’s a strong fighter, and his alibi is suspiciously whimsical. Plus, I know where the “brain wall” reference came from…😂

Bonus Theory:

The real culprit isn’t even pictured.

All six of them are lying.

Tattoo Guy faked his own death.

Everyone was involved in some way — from direct murder to accidental chaos.

🍬 Gumball Machine Thoughts

I love how cute this is — the pfp of the ladies all inside the gumball machine. And where Caramel and the kitty are being placed looks so precious~

Honestly, maybe the only way I get to keep my gumball is if it’s kitty‑safe. Perhaps a kitty‑edible gumball, or even a toy catnip gumball for the mischievous little thief. Heehee.

White Day Dialogue Thoughts

I always love seeing Chase and Viktor squabble — it’s become a yearly tradition at this point. Chase trying to understand what a “White Day gumball” is while Viktor insists it’s white chocolate is so on‑brand for both of them. 🍬 Chase's lines: That actually is a good question - as far as I know, I have yet to come across a White Day gumball - I would be down to try it - whatever it taste like or however it looks~ I'm guessing for Great Grandmother - could be a nostalgia candy from the past is what I'm thinking - like Werther's Original for example. 🍮 But yeah I agree with Big Sis - but I also understand how you feel Chase ༄˖°.🍂.ೃ࿔*:･ 🍬 Viktor's lines: Could be white chocolate - I feel one of many possibilities ˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ 🍬 Treat to Caramel: *happily feeds* ε(´｡•᎑•`)っ 💕 Wonder what Night got? Wonder also what I'll get, heehee~ 🍬 Night's lines: Now I wonder if Night already knew the answer to the game in the first place - wouldn't be surprise hehe~

Night stepping in with his calm “floating elephants in the room” comment made me laugh. Of course he’d be the one most interested in the mystery itself.
