Update this red headed freak hates me, I maxed out his ward and still don't have the ssr 😭 I feel like the meme of "me having a great time in the casino vs Hoshibami asking me to hand over my wholeass WALLET"
110 pulls deep... I miss my wife zzg, just hand him over
(Also if you're able to read the episode esrly as per the instructions in my pinned post which i cba to link rn, you should be able to do that now unless something changed!)
THEY PUT ALL THREE EPISODE CARDS IN AT ONCE i wonder if that means something in particular lmao it's very unlikely that they'll all release at the same time but! I never have any complaints about actually getting to see them all at once!
They should release Haku-Taiga-Alan, in that order!
I also have the name for Episode 7 towards the end!
Character Card: Secret Tryst(「門前で抱える秘密」 "A Secret Kept Before The Gate")(門前 is 'before the gate' and, in mahjong terms, 'one's hand completely concealed'. I assume 'before the gate' is to be out of the eye of most of society beyond the gates)
Skill: Degenerate Civil Servant(「なまぐさな公務員」 "Corrupt Government Employee") (なまぐさな means 'smelling of blood and/or fish', suspicious, questionable, degenerate, corrupt, depraved, fallen. . .you get the picture. 'なまぐさ is actually a word used to mean 'corrupt priest' or 'degenerate monk' in general! I suppose it's sort of wordplay lol)
Fully Awakened Skill: Detached Love(「飄々たる愛」 "Easygoing Love") (飄々 means staggering, wandering, roaming, aimless, aloof to the world, easygoing, transcendental, or detached. It's also used to describe whistling /howling/blowing wind, or the way something moves in said wind(fluttering/dancing/etc)!)
Warding Card: The Civil Servant's Key (「公務員への鍵」 "The Government Employee's Key")
Calling Haku a degenerate is actually sending me jdbdusjsb
Character Card: Distorted Heart(「歪んだ心をベットして」 "Betting On A Distorted Heart") (could arguably also be read "bedding a perverted heart," which would also be accurate--)
Skill: Brutal Moneylender(「凶暴な金貸し」 "Brutal Moneylender")
Fully Awakened Skill: Dangerous Love(「危険な愛」 "Dangerous Love")
Warding Card: The Loan Shark's Key(「金貸しへの鍵」 "The Moneylender's Key")
Character Card: Relentless Crusader(「そこに命がある限り」 "As Long As He Has Life")
Skill: Steadfast Firefighter(「剛直な消防士」 "Morally Corageous Firefighter") (剛直 "integrity, moral courage, rigidity"--i figured 'moral courage' said more than just rigidity so)
Fully Awakened Skill: Inarticulate Love(「口下手な愛」 "Inarticulate Love")
Warding Card: The Firefighter's Key (「消防士への鍵」 "The Firefighter's Key")
New cosmic bonds! The first one is obvious but I wonder who's in the second one. . . .
Civil Servant & Money Lender & Firefighter (「公務員と金貸しと消防士」 "Government Employee And Moneylender And Firefighter")
A Guide Through The Gates Of Hell (「鬼門の道しるべたち」 "Demon Gate Guides")
Added sprites from this episode:
ShadowMonster_ (probably these?)
cerberus
Season 2 Episode 7's title is Cosmic Connection (「七夕の迷い子へ継ぐ」 "The Succession Of Tanabata's Lost Child")! Tanabata episode is back too!!! 'Cosmic Connection' makes me think of Rui. . .maybe Rui will be a Cowherd this episode?
Gacha is gambling, banners rerun, it's better to save up for reruns instead of spending money trying to get a card you probably won't use! If you decide to gamble, plesse spend responsibly--set reasonable limits for how much you spend and keep to them! People who don't end up owing Taiga money and that won't be as fun as fans make it! If you're struggling with a gambling addiction, remember help is out there and there's never any shame in seeking it.
Japanese is complicated and i'm sleepy 👌🏾 people like the localizers get paid to do this for a reason!
There are people out there who love you and who will love you. Sometimes you have to recognize that they may not show it in a way you readily understand. But also, some people express their love in a way that hurts you--and you don't have to accept that no matter who they are.
Okay i'm off to find food and get reading. Good night! Have stats!

TKDB house berets are finally in stock everyone! I'm just waiting for my other manu to deliver the KS freebies and I will start mailing everyone's rewards soon~ In the meantime, the hats are available to order immediately on Etsy 😊
So I wanna address something that I've noticed recently in fandom spheres in general (this is specifically going to the tkdb fandom bc I'm still hyperfixated on it right now)
I understand a lot of you guys may be younger and haven't interacted in fandom the way some of us older folks have. And that's fine, but I wanna explain how you can do that!
Because right now a lot of the artists and writers are feeling a little underappreciated and that means we don't really wanna work on requests or events bc they aren't getting a lot of interaction.
First, this isn't an influencer/audience relationship. We're all real people with jobs and lives outside of this, we do it for the love of the game. If you think it's weird or parasocial to try to talk to the person making the art you enjoy that's an issue. Nobody is famous, we're all being goofy ass people playing toys together. Make a comment, reach out to that author if they made your day better!
This is going to sound ridiculous but use youtuber logic: like, comment, subscribe follow! Because chances are with how small our fandom is that your comment is going to be seen and possibly inspire someone to keep going!
Likes are nice, but reblogs are better. If you aren't sure if you want it on your main blog that's fine. You think this is my main? Most of us are on side blogs. Make a little side blog for stuff you enjoy. Tag it so you can find it again. Use the character names or pairings or whatever you want. That's a way to bookmark the work you reblogged so you can find it easily.
Not sure what to really say to someone? If you've never interacted before just be polite but casual. It's a lot like making new friends irl but we have a level of anonymity that is comfortable here. Just don't demand things or try to befriend someone just because you want them to write or draw for you. You won't always hit it off with everyone but just be genuine and kind. You might make friends or just become acquainted, like someone you say hey to when they pass by but aren't close to.
As far as the etiquette of tagging and commenting goes-
Commenting is the reply feature. It goes in a separate thing attached to the work you're commenting on, and it has a larger character limit than the tags. Anyone can reply to you there so it's always good to @ who you're addressing.
Tags you add to the post when you reblog it. They aren't an actual edition to the post. But this is where you can add your keywords for searching for it later. When reblogging there's a feature to include some of the previous person's tags. If you do < or <- at the start of your tag that's indicating that you're referring to what that tag is talking about.
Both of these places are great places to talk about what you like about the work! They are public though so keep that in mind. If you want to talk just to the artist then use messages. Seriously don't be afraid to just start a message to someone it's just like going up and starting a conversation with a person.
But Pom, what do I say? I'm so glad you asked. For me, and a lot of the artists I've seen discuss this, it's not the quality of the message that's important. You can literally just say that character is so cute! Or, this is my favorite line! ❤ And that makes me happy! You can literally just use emojis and keysmashes -> (ajshhdjskakfhakskhf) and I'll get that you enjoyed it lol.
If you're unsure you can look at what other people have added! Some of us go off in our reblogs about how much we love it or how that lighting is incredible or the prose is insanely beautiful! You don't have to match that. Just acknowledging that you enjoyed it is good. Say something about how you hope the next piece is gonna be just as good! Or thank the author for the food lmao.
There's a lot of ways to interact with the artists in fandom. I personally reached out and interacted with one of my favorite ones here on Tumblr and now we message daily and have best friend ocs!
Tldr: If you want content to consume <- nah let's call it what it is. If you want art to enjoy and fic to read, interact with the artists and authors. Show some love with reblogs and comments. It makes us feel like we did a good job and gives us the energy to continue! Lurking is a choice and I for one am so glad I stopped watching people play and started playing with every one. So come on! We're waiting on you guys to join us! Come scream with us about blorbos and crazy theories! ❤💚❤💚
Hello hello, it's Ash again here to dump my annotations and yapping onto you again. Holy fuck reading this took so much longer than I thought purely because this is the longest chapter in the game, I really struggled getting through the middle but once I hit like chapter 30 it was smooth sailing. I noticed reading this time vs the first time I read through this chapter I had much more interest in analyzing Tohma over Jin and didn't pay much attention to the dynamics of the chaos combo and just enjoyed their company instead.
With that said, here are my notes utc, sorry if formatting is wonky since I'm a mobile user, spoiler warnings for the end of season 1 if you haven't read it, and thank you for reading ❤️
TLDR; I think Haku might be the one who slipped the information about Jin's mom, not Yuri, and if not Haku definitely not Yuri. Tohma is a weird freak who is interesting to analyze, foreshadowing SO MUCH FORESHADOWING, I feel bad for MC all the way through
holy fuck this is such a long read-
- God as much as I love Frostheim and it's ghouls holy fuck I would actually like wither and rot in that kind of environment, and not because of the snow- Tohma forever remains an inherently interesting character to me for his composure, especially when it's the first thing we see of him off the get go
- On Tohmas character, whenever I go to analyse him I always think of one of my teachers saying "if you want to get rid of a noble person you go for them directly, if you want to destroy a noble household you go for the head butler because he's the one truly running the house." Can't for the life of me remember if that was an English or one of my Drama teachers who said that but it's relevant regardless 💀
- "The space at Jin's side is already taken by Tohma" deadass forgot they called them gay out the gate like that LMAO
- I do love that Tohma has very little shame in flaunting the fact that he keeps tabs on people as a way of getting them to shut up and stay in line, there's no denying that he's cutthroat to the point of being a bit of a brute. Makes his halberd all the more fitting weapon for him
- As MC explores the cathedral she says it's like someone went on a rampage in there, makes me wonder if that was the site of the clash, or at least a major fight during the whole incident especially knowing that Clementina and Ultio were at each other's throats
- I forgot Luca said he was the only ghoul at Emrys, though it's noteworthy to me Kaito saying the number of ghouls has shot up in the past few years. From Darkwicks perspective, they might interpret it as growing strife and calamity, or that the Kudan's prophecy is getting closer to being fulfilled.
- Man I remember when I didn't vigorously hate Moby. Too bad that's changed you undercooked plate of calama- (apologies for the Moby and Hyde fans who read my yapping, I don't like them at all)
- Though nothing but absolute props to Mobys VA, fantastic job with all his weird lines and laughter
- Moby also mentions that the twin swords have been waiting a long time for a new master, I wonder if he knew the previous one
- I lowkey forgot about the promise Luca made to turn Kaito back into a normal human being, which adds another layer onto the reasonable extreme crashout over his death later on
- The like dove! Nothing bad ever happens to it ever yup!!
- "Guess I really am a convienent person for them." MC you have no idea how much they are going to abuse that fact from now on...
- Frostheim truly is such a stunning house, I wish we would get full blueprints and more expansion of all the house grounds because I'm entirely fascinated by the structure of all of them. It's just a damn shame the general students piss me the hell off, because I would love to live in Frostheim but I think I would actually like wither and die in the hostile environment, it's just so, draining and so fake...
- Man the cycle repeating of Tohma and MC both being cast out of Jins room right at the beginning. Tkdb really loves rubbing in the things repeating themselves theme
- Dante I love you thank you for being one of the only professors I trust at this hellhole school. I do have a loose idea that Hyde always poking at Dante for having a soft and kind heart is a reminder for Dante that he can and should feel but it very well could be why Alan's dad died. Part of me wants to speculate that Dante's soft heart and his king hearted nature landed him in hot water and things twisted in a way because Anomalies TM and that's part of Alan's dad's death. Hoewver, I have no solid proof to pull from but the fact that it's seemingly such an important part of Dante's character that's always brought up tells me it absolutely has to be something to pay attention to, so in the mean time it's mere speculation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- THANK YOU LUCA FOR BEING FUCKING REASONABLE. I DONT THINK ITS A CRAZY CONCEPT TO BE SENDING ESSENTIALLY A CIVILIAN ON A MISSION WITH NO TRAINING.
- I've grown to like Tohma more now but I still stand by my initial impression of him which was he lowk freaked me the fuck out. It makes a lot of sense that he's Jin's right hand man, there's not exactly anyone else who could fill the role he does let alone with such precision and ease.
- Really hoping we get the Luca backstory reveal this season cuz I really wanna know what his wish was and about his missing twin. I also do kinda suspect that once waves of love is done the next mission will be a Frostheim one, that or potentially Jabberwock.
- Still think it is incredibly weird for Darkwick to let a student be the treasurer, like yes it's Tohma and he's Jin's right hand man and Jin is nepo baby supreme but like ???? A student??? Not a designated faculty member??? WEIRD AF
- I love the big chess pieces, one of my fav anomalies
- JIRO JUMPSCARE LETS GO LOVE YOU JIRO
- Yuri... Mc was already going to be a lab rat for you since she's cursed... It's just a bonus MC can also enhance stigmas
- God so much of the bg music is absolutely banging, wish it were more easily available to listen to like on a streaming platform or smth, love the clarinet line being melody for the house of Mr Long Legs
- First time reading through the second Kaito said cult I immediately went yeah it's cult and was pretty close to being right
- Sora and Riku... The little babies... I miss them, I really hope we get to see them in the future and their lives are better and they're happy...
- The pitter patter of Kaito running will never not be funny to me
- I completely forgot that we even got a scene of Tohma and his pills so early, like I have absolutely no memory of that scene AT ALL. No wonder I was so surprised at Leo calling him a druggie later on 💀
- I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT JINS MOMS PASSING BEING A WHOLE SCANDAL.
- I still theorize that the person who dropped that info is the traitor amongst the ghouls and while logically Yuri is a likely candidate to reveal that kind of information, I don't think he would despite his resentment towards Jin and the line Thomas says "the dear friend, who left your side" does seem to point at Yuri, we don't entirely know the relationship between them, not do we know the depths of the relationship between Haku and the rest of the Frostheim ghouls which is why I'm partly inclined to believe it's him. On top of that, you really think Yuri is going to drop his research to do such petty bullshit? No, he's too proud, and that would be really low even for him. And even then Jiro is a liability, Yuri being without Jiro especially outside of Mortkranken is always going to be a notable scene. On top of that, once the news is casted we get two ghoul reactions aside from the ones who MC isn't with at the moment or in Frostheim, which is Haku and Yuri. (Honestly can't believe I didn't catch that the first time reading because man they really teased Haku being a Frostie fast) Why would they bother showing Hakus reaction? I have more to say but I'm too lazy right now lol
- Man I'm actually really glad I'm rereading the older chapters because some of this stuff I've entirely forgotten, like the promise regarding Jins mom.
- also psychological disorder? I am, very curious to say the least but Jin is probably one of the last ghouls we'll get a backstory for so- nevermind I forgot it was probably a cover up for murder-
- the chapter does a really good job at setting up Yumiko to be the person who did that if you don't pay close attention, and while she does take the fall for being the person who stole the transmitter, I don't entirely believe the situation as a whole, mostly because we know for sure she was never close to Jin. Whether or not she actually was the one who used the transmitter, I guess only Tohma knows the truth.
- I really enjoy that MC isn't just merry go lucky about being dragged off to this fantastical world like how a lot of other MCs are, she struggles, she's upset, she's scared, which is natural and is such a breath of fresh air in comparison to those emotions being washed over or dismissed
- Very intrigued at MC being literally invisible, because theres no logical explanation for that
- HI RUI!! HI LEX'S WIFE!!! HI RUI!! HI BESTIE!!
- "I sat down next to Rui, feeling like I had walked into a host club" MC wait till I tell you what happens in S2
- Haku really is so dad core lmao, I love him even though I have high suspicion that he's the traitor
- Man I just know Haku and Rui were such troublemakers and heartbreakers in Clementina, I really hope we get more on what they were like during that time
- GIRL 💀 deadass forgot the context of dropping the "oh my family didn't want me around" line HOLY FUCK DUDE 💀💀
- Running doesn't end well for anyone, I wonder if Haku is talking about Dionysia as a whole or someone else, part of me wants to say it's someone else but I have no evidence
- Okay the collar line is definitely foreshadowing to Lyca 💀 which definitely leaves me wondering if Haku really didn't know about him or not
- Errand in the area, bitch no you did not Tohma
- Okay question, we assume that the walking corpse mentioned earlier when MC was eavesdropping is case relevant here, why and how did Tohma have access to that security footage??
- Holy fuck reading this with the audio on for the manga scenes is way worse than I remember because you get to experience what the characters are right alongside them, hearing the running footsteps in the dark HELL NO DUDE FUCK THAT ABSOLUTELY NOT, doesn't help that I'm reading in the dark in the middle of the night either
- The anomalies don't particularly scare me in terms of visuals because I'm sitting here like hah, ok knockoff Slenderman and overall I do think the horror aspect of the game should be increased, but being able to sit and think on what a horrifying reality that is, hell no. MC was entirely valid for wanting to leave from the get go, and everything afterwards only justifies it more and more
- Luca losing his composure like that almost seems out of character for him, and paired with the description of his blades reacting the way they did has me thinking that those blades are the one to blame. Which would also work during Luca's big crash out at the end of season 1
- Jin just picking up the MC is still so fuckin funny to me, he really is such a funny character
- I really wish we had a wardrobe function for MC so we could put her in all her pretty clothes, even if she's just a chibi wandering around or staying in one place :(
- I hate and love Jin so much. Stupid bitch with his stupid smirk. He's such an annoying cocky asshole but if you actually see through his icy exterior he truly is kind and caring, he's just so guarded that it's easy to miss his true intentions. Him and Taiga are really quite similar
- "There are a lot of stubborn people around me" as if you aren't one yourself Tohma
- I do love the balcony end scene because it's such a valuable moment in terms of understanding Jin, Tohma, and their relationship, and it especially now that I'm rereading this serves as a great scene for just how far the mask goes on Tohmas personality
- The last line of the Kamurai family being able to sweep just about anything under the rug isn't lost on me with Jin being the one to dictate the masterpiece news and it makes me think of the usual dilema that any noble/high class love interest has of being able to be truthful or to change it because they simply have the power to do so (cough cough Jinshi tad)
If you made it this far, thank you for reading through all of my annotations and I hope you got at least a laugh out of some of them considering how much I wrote omg- and with that I wish you a very pleasant rest of your day and night.
With gratitude, and slightly more sleep deprived than I should be in the middle of summer,

Whenever I start trying to cook up a theory for this game I feel like I'm crazy cuz I'm sitting here going "am I reading into this too much?" and then arguing with myself like "Dumbass it's media. It's a story. YOURE SUPPOSED TO READ INTO IT- THATS HOW YOU ANALYZE SHIT"
Anyways I'm cooking something?? Maybe y'all will see the update in like 6 months lmfao
yes, CGs! there were a lot of them, but I didn’t find them in your archives. need a helping hand 😞✋
That's because I haven't put any CGs in the archive yet. The only place I've put CGs atm is on tumblr when people asked for them, because they're a bit scattered around in my files and I haven't really dedicated the energy to putting them all in one place yet, same as the panel art.
Here are the CGs from episodes 21 that're drawn drawn by taishi
it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!
