Welcome back to my red river of strawberry soda

Fey: Very well. When you return home tonight, your mother will be in pristine health again. It will be like she never fell ill at all. Even the memory of her suffering will fade…

Human: Thank you so much. She means everything to me.

Fey: I know, I know. Let’s hope the price wasn’t too much for you after all… Only time will tell.

Human: So, when do we start?

Fey: …If I may ask you to elaborate?

Human: You said you wanted my firstborn.

Fey: Yes? And you agreed?

Human: Yeah, so, when do we start?

Fey:

<3

and pteview 3/3 sorry Cale, challenge failed XD

fine print preview part 2, and part 3 coming up next with that goot twist XD

But now for New Horizons they look like this

The new characters are a treat. Daisymae will send you bamboo shoots if you buy turnips often enough, Flick will basically pay off your house with his love of bugs, and CJ will talk about his boyfriend and buy fish, as well as hold the fishing tourneys in a much better way than old games.

Tom, Timmy and Tommy haven’t aged because they’re tanuki which are often considered yokai.

Blathers and the Able sisters got in with Nook early so he shares his power with them.

Kicks started as a young skunk so he can slowly age with the series.

They liked tricking humans into giving them money by trading them leaves magicly cloaked to look like other objects. Sound familiar?

They are not evil however, just mischivous, and in modern iderations of the mythos they generally bring good luck and fortune to small businesses. People even place their statues outside their stores to bring in customers.

Nook also started out as a small town businessman, down on his luck, and eventually with his quick wit grew his company into a housing empire where he builds homes, furnishes buildings, populates towns, and mentors others in good business practices ala Timmy and tommy, who were his pupils, and Lyle the otter later on.

Lyle being a former conman who likely got in over his head working with one kitsune…speaking of, one of the biggest bits of evidence of Tom nook being a yokai is his bitter rivalry with said fox, Crazy Redd.

Crazy Redd was a character in the series known for running a black market of fake and real art and would regularly con the player character out of their money selling them overpriced items and fake paintings.

In the back lore of wild world and happy home designer we learn that when Nook was young he went to the city with hopes and dreams to earn his fortune, but his dreams were crushed when all his money was stolen from him by a business partner he trusted, thus why he took Timmy and tommy and eventually Lyle under his wing and helped them learn better business practices to avoid, or at least get themselves out of, a similar fate. In happy home designer we learn that Nook once worked with a fox when he was young and he would never make that mistake again. Redd also makes multiple references to nook in that game as well, making fun of his home, ect. You can infer from this that Redd was the fox who cheated him and likely was the same one who broke his spirit in the big city. Tanukis and Kitsunes (fox yokai) have a similar bitter rivalry in mythos, to the death sometimes even.

Kitsunes also have the power of illussion but are much more malicious generally and regularly trick people into thinking sticks and leaves are valuable objects or food, much like Redd tricks people with his paintings.

an animated phone call from toby

Wow, haven’t been on Tumblr for over 2 years now xD~ I’ve no idea if people are still following me here; migrated to other social medias by now like me xD;;.  I didn’t really just want to leave it like this though.

I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 fibrosis sarcoma cancer, and the doc thinks I got about 1-1.5 years left. I guess I’m really here to kinda….leave my mark? These are just some of my work from the past few years I haven’t been uploading here :3

In the last pisode of Future before the hiatus, we were left with a very lost feeling Steven, so much so that he’s turned to a erm.. very unhealthy, and I’d say creepy coping mechanism;

All of his friends moving on to bigger things has sent his need to feel needed skyrocketing. Now he’s tending to plants he’s named after his friends, because these plants will always need him and, more importantly, can’t leave. Right?

Except oh, oof, um.. yeah, about that., one did leave him. That must’ve been traumatic af as we’re left with a somber shot of Steven, holding a flower that was given to him by the plant who’s leaving. So, we have a Steven who reeeaaallly needs to feel needed and loved by the people around him. Hmmmmm where could he go to find endless amounts of validation, i wonder?

Steven’s going to get desperate enough to go see the Diamonds, except whoops

He’s not needed there anymore either, because Spinel is there, who i predict by this point will have also made strides moving on from Pink Diamond, and thus also Steven. When he realizes this, we’ll probably get another Pink Steven outburst, which will inevitably lead, 

to this;

Steven will corrupt White Diamond, and I presume not only corrupt her, but take over her, much like how she was able to take over other gems. Why? Recognize the pose yet?

Steven only takes that pose when he’s going through intense turmoil. He’s going to go through the mother of identity crisis once he corrupts WD, and after that, well, it’s all heading to the one thing we’re all thinking, and its been forshadowed in the show before:

What event will cause him to corrupt himself, you ask? Welp, hold on to your hats, because there’s one piece of forshadowing we all got wrong, fam: What did Pink Diamond do to Pink Pearl? What act made her learn to control her temper again?
