When I was first listening to it, I kept getting caught off-guard by a specific noise, one that's eerily like that of the FFXIV duty pop sound. I thought it was coincidence, and didn't really consider it further. Then today, a friend shared this Tumblr post by

cryoriku of this Bluesky post by yuri.mom and this YouTube comment by

kristhemoth8799. The Bluesky post reads, "

the hot new transmasc vocaloid murder anthem featuring kagamine len himself samples zenos yae galvus from final fantasy fourteen saying "the power to transcend" at 1:14

". The YouTube comment reads, "1:13 a test of your reflexes", which is a reference to a different voiceline of Zenos yae Galvus. This reminded me that in the descriptions of other FLAVOR FOLEY songs (like rawdog ft. HAYDEN, 18+ recommended), Jaime Paige — one of the members of FLAVOR FOLEY — mentions being a FFXIV player, so it's very likely that they did in fact use the duty pop sound in the song and I'm NOT losing my marbles LOL

Anyway, other than that, turns out Lesti (one of my more recent online friends) kinda did/does have a crush on me.

I don't have a particular feeling about it overall, which is actually an improvement over the last time someone openly liked me! And I like to say this is also proof that I have game with girls, finally :cheer: She knows that I don't like her back, and doesn't seem too bothered, thankfully. On that topic, I again considered confessing to my crush just to get it over with but, unlike the last time I thought about it, the idea made me panic enough that my chest hurt. Sigh. Well, I don't think we could be right for each other at the moment anyway, so there's not really a reason to say anything yet.

I didn't go to uni today because I had poor sleep, a nightmare, and also swallowed my pills wrong in a way I've never done before, which put me on the edge of bursting into tears. Also today's work could all be done online so it wasn't really a big deal.

About the nightmare...

Keeping it brief, but essentially I dreamt that I had a life-threatening infection and the hospital couldn't/didn't help me. When I tried to explain to GuiGui my condition after being forced to go to uni like nothing was wrong, I forgot the words so badly that the dream morphed into me battling monsters that represented my inability to recall words. How fun.

I was having A Week. Wondering whether I had relapsed into depression or was just PMSing. Which wasn't clear because although I'd had my moontime on the 20th in Jan, I again had a mild version on the 9th in Feb. Every day my thoughts were a cycle of haha, I hate my childhood and my family and the world, my finances are tight and my future is bleak, but I'm taking my Vitamin D supplements so maybe I need to start taking Magnesium?

My inbox reached three digits, so instead of trying to get on top of things that way I think I'm going to go to the comments on my old entries to catch up on replying to friends. I'm sorry if I haven't responded to your comments yet! I'm getting to them. And I like leaving comments and responding to comments so I don't even know how I ended up on the over side of whelmed.

I finished watching Undercover Miss Hong and it stuck the landing! I really enjoyed it, I love the heroine and her friends, and I foresee a drama slump now because I don't know what to watch next that I'll enjoy as much. If you have any recs throw 'em my way; I've burned out on romance dramas so I'm looking for friendship-focused ones like this one.

Yesterday and today, I grinded FATES in Eureka Pyros (third area of the Stormblood field op) with Honguito. When we first started Eureka like a year ago, I shot straight to EL57 because I was obsessed, even though Honguito stopped at the late 30s due to hand-pain and lack of motivation. Then neither of us touched it for at least several months until Del got into it for a day or two. That got me to EL58, then we didn't touch it again until yesterday. Eureka is this blend of boring and "teehee haha logograms :D". Honestly, I like a certain level of grinding; repetitive stuff is a bit soothing, especially if it's social or novel in the context of the larger game.

I should probably engage in more "thank you for the FATE pop" etiquette because I find it very pleasant to be on the receiving end of, but I've been forgetting to these two days because we've been doing 90% of the pops in our instances. That was like... 12 hours of FATE grinding, phew. Now I'm EL60! After dying once during today's grind XD

Most of my time in Eureka 'solo' was spent levelling while I let others work on popping FATES (ones that I didn't always benefit from due to said lack of EXP), so I had a lot more Fundamental Mnemes from kill chains than any other type. Now I have a similar number of Conceptual Mnemes, but not much of anything else. At least common Logograms aren't like, bad by any means, they can still make very useful Logos Actions. (Logogram = raw general material, Mneme = refined and specific material, Logos Action = ability created from refined material)

... because of a few reasons. Most importantly, I always feel like I'm gonna make something they don't like — even if the recipe is something I know they love because I made it (in a joint effort with someone else) for them before! I just can't help thinking at least a few tiny thoughts that I will magically be doing things wrong or differently. Unfortunately, this has the consequence of occasionally overthinking something and just not doing a step that I knew in the moment I should've done.

Less important but still big: I'm, well, not the best at keeping track of large quantities of ingredients (it's unlikely I'm making something in a singular portion unless it's my own food); sometimes that means I overcook stuff, other times that means I just... totally forget to use those ingredients (my mother is much the same, but we sorta fill in the gaps when we work together).

i didn't sleep the night before --- the stress flooding my system, i really thought i'd totally messed everything up. my father's conflicted, pensive expression as he listened and reassured me while plating up his food--- it meant a lot. by midday, i couldn't concentrate, wandering around my local airport, mentally tracking the number of coffee shops, gauging sound levels, languages, smells in the air of forgein countries, rushing people on their way back home from abroad, security guards and led timetables everywhere. i ended up in a hotel lobby nearby, asking at the bar if they did coffee, getting a mocha, sitting in the ambiant lighting and journalling in my notebook for three hours. i'd bought strawberry milk earlier and poured it into my empty mug once i'd finished drinking the coffee. funnily, the entry ended up being a monologue of all the things i love about my life, a complete turnaround about how much life has changed and all the things i would've been so happy to have a few years back. i realised, brutally, that i didn't know myself anymore. from mentally living in the past, from passively enjoying things everyday but not processing that. from always expecting things from myself without looking down at my own feet. it's funny, it's interesting. it's relieving, to be a person, able to wander around in strange places at a moment's whim. i hope to flick through my camera roll soon, re-experiencing myself for who i've actually been.

freshly showered, dressed in blue jeans, a belt and and an super oversized naruto shirt. i smell like my vanilla body wash, i've had some bad coffee, water, beef & rice, pain au chocolat, lychee juice, bothered my brothers and things feel like they could be looking up somehow. busy week next week, big things pending....

Card Story:

Endless Conversation

Part 1

White: Hiya there big brother, are you enjoying yourself at the mixer~? Would you mind if I took a seat next to you?

Faust: I don't mind, though if you're looking for a conversation partner I suggest you look elsewhere.

Faust: The Sage and Arthur are right over there, I'm sure they'd be a much better choice.

White: Don't you go brushing me off now. I'll have you know I intentionally came seeking you out.

Faust: Intentionally? Me? Why?

White: We seldom get the opportunity to deepen our bonds with each other. Thus, I have decided to make time to speak to each of the wizards present today individually.

White: Aaand on that note, I present to you your very first question, big brother!

Faust: Don't you think this is rather out of the blue...

White: Won't you tell me your name and what you do for a living, pretty please~?

Faust: (He's really not leaving me any room to refuse here...)

Faust: ...I'm Faust Lavinia. I work as a curseworker.

White: Wowie! Does that mean you use little dolls of people to curse them~?

Faust: Sorry, I'm afraid such details are a trade secret.

White: Aww, no fair.

White: Oki doki then, now it's your turn big brother! Go ahead and ask me something.

Faust: ...What's your name and occupation?

White: My name is White. My beloved Snow and I are twins.

Faust: (He's gone back to his usual way of speaking. Really stuck to that persona for a while there...) (*)

White: Though we don't currently work as such, we are both stained glass craftsmen by trade.

White: We also watch over a certain village in the North, though that's rather on a whim. And are currently the teachers for the Northern wizards...

Faust: ........

White: Hm? Whatever is the matter, Faust? Why so somber all of a sudden?

(*)TL note: The reason Faust comments on White's speech is because the way White's been speaking has been very cutesy/childlike up until this point and then as he answers Faust's question he goes back to his usual way of speaking.

Part 2

Faust: It's just, now that I think about it, you're constantly in a position that requires you to "bring people together".

Faust: You've lived for far longer than I have. And I imagine that not only the times, but people themselves have changed considerably through the eras...

Faust: I'm sure it's been nothing short of difficult.

White: Oh my...

White: Faust dear, you... You truly understand how I feel?

Faust: I wouldn't say I understand completely. I've just had similar experiences is all...

White: Ah... Well, if I may be frank, it truly has been terribly toilsome trying to bring all the Northern wizards together.

White: Day after day we wear ourselves thin trying to be teachers to that lot.

White: When we do hold classes they hardly listen to a word we say, and the moment we take our eyes off them they start acting like hooligans!

Faust: I see... It's true that the classroom environment is also a place where one must learn to work with others.

Faust: I have a brilliant group of students. And yet, despite this, I too come across many challenges teaching them.

Faust: There are days where my lessons go awry in the most unexpected of ways.

White: Yes, yes, absolutely!

White: Goodness, I never would have thought I'd have such a delightful conversation with you. You are a much better listener than I gave you credit for.

Faust: I'm really not. If anything, it's what you had to say that drew me in.

Faust: Those who know how to deal with the likes of the Northern wizards, let alone bring them together are few and far between. I'd be interested in hearing more about the topic.

White: Hm...Well, since I certainly do have more to say on the matter...

White: Once the party concludes lets bring this conversation someplace else, shall we~?

Card Episode:

Their Afterparty Go-To

Akira: Good morning, White! You're looking rather cheerful.

White: Ah, Sage dear, good morning.

White: I was simply reminiscing about yesterday's party. I had a particularly pleasant conversation with a certain wizard!

Akira: A certain wizard? Judging from that alone it can't be Snow... Then who?

White: Why, it was none other than Faust! Rather surprising, no?

Akira: No way, that really is a surprise! Come to think of it, I've never quite imagined you two sitting down and having a long discussion like that.

White: Indeed. It has been quite some time since we've arrived at the manor, yet I never thought we would share such common ground until today.

White: After the party, we continued our conversation elsewhere, and before I knew it, it was time for me to return to our painting.

Akira: Wow, sounds like you two had a great time! Where did the two of you end up going after the party?

White: Hohoho, 'tis a place you are also quite familiar with.

Akira: Me?

White: A skillfully tactful owner paired with a tranquil environment where one can speak their mind at ease.

White: It was Shylock's bar, of course!

Been having fun with Sparxie and Yaoguang with Sparkle and Fu Xuan (all e0s0 except e1s0 Fu Xuan)! May or may not have accidentally associated this team with a certain song :pointing_to_current_music:

Managed to get 3c Elation for the King, and 4c/2c/3c on DoT/Rem/Elation for each of the respective Knights. My Elation team is called “Divine THAHAT” (previously just “Divine THAT”), lol. Embarrassingly, I did not notice that Blackswan applies her DEF shred with her BA and ult too… Only seeing 5 status effects at a time on normal enemies in battle view did not help my dumbass with that… So yeah, SP management is better now XD

I almost skipped through the Sorren–Sapote sidequest, but I recognised one of the scene layouts and stopped to read. Yeah, it’s pretty messed up.

Didn’t pay much attention to most of the story, but the maps have been nice to explore so far. I just wonder if I’ll be able to squeeze out enough jades for Cerydra… She’s the only unit I don’t have yet from this patch’s banners.

An Unrivaled Surprise

White: Sagey dear, I've finished cleaning up outside~!

Akira: Thanks a bunch, White! I just finished speaking with some customers myself.

White: I'm glad to see we've both grown accustomed to our work. Despite only helping fill in, taking care of the store is rather fun.

White: Hm...That's it! I've been struck with a marvelous idea! I shall open a chair store of my very own!

Akira: Opening a chair store? You?? Somehow, that's a little difficult to imagine...

Akira: Uhm, putting that to a side, have you thought about what kind of chairs you'd like to sell?

White: But of course! As a matter of fact, I've even decided on the store's featured item.

White: It shall be called... Drumroll please, the "sit upon it and watch fortune come your way" chair!

Akira: Ohh, so it's supposed to be a chair that grants people prosperity!

White: Oh... uh why yes, of course, exactly as you say...? (*)

Good fortune aside however, t'would be a bore if it could not do much else. That is why it shall have another little surprise packed into its design~

Akira: A surprise? What kind of surprise are we talking about here...?

White: Once a person gets off the chair, their fortune will drop to an all time low!

Akira: That's terrifying!!

White: Oh but doesn't it sound thrilling? Besides, "multi-purpose" items such as this are quite popular in your world, no?

White: Which is why... you'll definitely be a patron of mine once I open up shop. Won't you, deary?

White: I'll make sure to provide some extra special service just for you~

Akira: U-uhh...I'm gonna need to think this one over!

(*)TL note: Akira is talking about luck/fortune here using 御利益 which from what I was able to understand is more so the type of luck/fortune you'd receive from visiting a shrine or something. It's kinda like a divine blessing which is why White is slightly confused but goes along with it anyway.

It's that time of year again! The fabulous, well-organized fundraiser Fandom Trumps Hate is running its 2026 round, and bidding is currently open for the next 3 days, closing on March 7th. It's a tight window, so get in there and find what your heart wants!

As I did last year, I'm offering a podfic of a 15-20k work (I'm flexible within a few thousand words in any direction) up to an explicit rating. I will record for literally ANY fandom that isn't Harry Potter, and I'm super excited because I had such a wonderful experience in 2025.

If you're also offering something, I highly recommend you post about it! Every year I hear people make sad noises about how short the bidding window is, so the more we can raise awareness the better.

【Sitting in a Warm Circle】Mitile SSR Card Story + Episode

[A Course Meal for Four] Part 1

Figaro: Right, I think we’ve finished our preparations for tonight’s slumber party. What shall we do…

Mitile: Ah! Uhm, that was…!

Lennox: …It’s already noon. Why don’t we have lunch around here before heading home?

Figaro: Agreed. You okay with that, Mitile?

Mitile: Y-Yes!

Rutile: Then how about that restaurant?

Mitile: Ah, I was thinking that one too! The brick walls make it stand out.

Figaro: Oh, good eyes you two. Let’s go there then.

Rutile & Mitile: Yaaay!

Mitile: Wow, the carpet’s so fluffy…and the furniture is kind of sparkling…

Figaro: Oh?

Lennox: I see, it's more high-end than it looks from the outside.

Mitile: Uh, high-end is…?

Server: Welcome to our establishment.

Mitile: (Woah, that bow was perfect. It reminds me of Mister Shylock…)

Server: Do you have a reservation with us today?

Figaro: No, we don’t. Do you have space for a group of four?

Server: Please wait for a moment while I check.

Mitile: (You need a reservation just to eat…this is what a city restaurant is like…)

(And, all those customers in the back are dressed like nobles…is it alright for us to be here?)

Rutile: …Mitile.

Mitile: Rutile?

Rutile: Can we hold hands? Your brother is a bit nervous because he didn’t think it’d be such a fancy restaurant.

Mitile: Ah…of, of course!

(He’s being considerate ‘cuz he saw how nervous I looked…)

Rutile: Hmhm, thank you. Then let’s hold hands until we get to our seats.

Mitile: Okay!

Server: …Please, excuse me.

Rutile: …Phew. The tablecloth is so clean and white it makes my back straighten.

And the menu only had course meals on it. That’s quite the gap from the restaurants in South.

Mitile: I was also surprised. Uugh, what if I eat the wrong way…

Lennox: There’s no wrong or right way to eat food. If you eat it happily, that’s the way.

Figaro: Yup yup, we’ll only get kicked out of here if you dance on the table or something worse.

And there’s only the four of us at this table here. You don’t need to worry about anyone else.

If there’s anything you don’t know, just ask and we’ll teach you. Right, Mr. Rutile?

Rutile: Yes! You can rely on me!

Mitile: Brother, Mr. Leno, Dr. Figaro…thank you.

You’re right. This is a rare chance after all, so I’ll just think of this as an extra lesson for class!

Figaro: Mmhmm, that’s the spirit.

[A Course Meal for Four] Part 2

Server: Thank you for waiting. Here is our lunch course for today. Please enjoy the appetizers first.

Mitile: Uhhhm, the cutlery…you’re supposed to start from the outside, right?

Rutile: Correct! Wow wow, you’ve got a good memory, Mitile!

Mitile: Heehee, you taught me this once before at home, Rutile.

Figaro: Oh, they’ve brought out the bread. Looks like it’s freshly baked.

Mitile: Wooow, it smells yummy…! Can we eat it right away?

Ah, but I should leave some to get the last bits of the meat sauce…right?

Lennox: You can do that, but it’s also nice to eat it while it’s hot and with butter. Like this.

Mitile: I see…!

Figaro: …

Lennox: …What? You’re staring.

Figaro: Nothing, it’s just sorta fresh to see you eating so elegantly.

Lennox: Is it? Well, I guess I do nibble on bread without tearing it more often.

Mitile: Uhm, tear a bite sized piece of the bread, and put butter…

Ah, my butterknife…! I’m sorry, I’ll pick it up!

Server: I will replace it for you Sir, so please leave it. Are you hurt at all?

Mitile: Ah, nope…thank you very much…

Rutile: Mitile? What’s up? Your face is red.

Mitile: No, nothing! My heart’s pounding because for a moment I felt like a prince being waited on by his butler…!

Figaro: Ahaha, yeah. The workers here are very refined in their conduct.

Prince Mitile, how does the bread taste? Is it to your liking?

Mitile: Ugh, Dr. Figaro! Don’t tease me!

Figaro: Sorry, sorry.

Lennox: Nice timing, the soup’s here.

Rutile: Ah, it’s your favourite corn soup Mitile.

Mitile: Wow, it is! Yaaay!

Figaro: Mm, so silky. You can tell they put a lot of hard work into its taste, the milk flavour is still strong.

Mitile: Mmm, delicious! I can’t stop scooping, I might finish it soon!

…Huh, there’s so little soup left, it’s hard to scoop…

Figaro: When it comes to that, you can tilt it a little from the back.

Mitile: Uh, but, is it really okay to tilt plates in a fancy place like this?

Lennox: Making no loud noises is another part of etiquette. You should be fine.

Figaro: And to the chef, cleaning your plate would make them happier.

Mitile: True…

…I thought etiquette was just a strict set of rules…

But it’s also a way to show consideration to the people you’re eating with, and the ones who made the food.

I was nervous at first, but making a new discovery like this…is exciting.

Figaro: This is turning out to be a nice meal.

Lennox: Yeah. Coming here was worth it.

Rutile: Hmhm, I wonder what they’ll bring us next. I’m excited, right Mitile?

Mitile: Yes!

[A Course Meal for Four] Part 3

Mitile: Phew…the food at that restaurant we went for lunch was so delicious, it was like a dream.

Lennox: Agreed, the dessert at the end was tasty. Kirsch dipped fruits made for a great accent to the chocolate cake.

Mitile: Wow, your impressions sound so grown-up, how cool…!

Rutile: I thought the organic meat dish was yummy! Its name was, uhm…po, poele? Something like that. A name as long as our spells!

Mitile: Right! Also…pfft, “Organic” and “Ortonik” sound kind of alike.

Rutile: Ahaha, that’s so true!

Figaro: It probably made you anxious to go to a fancy restaurant all of a sudden, Mitile, but it turned out to be a good experience for you.

Why don’t we go there again if we have the chance? Once we’ve steeled ourselves.

Mitile: Yes! Then we should pick out an outfit from the clothes Chloe made for us and wear it there!

Rutile: Yeah! The next time we go should be an extra special day then.

Lennox: A special day…how about Mitile’s birthday?

Mitile: Eh, mine?

Lennox: Yeah. You seemed to enjoy the corn soup there. Don’t you want to try it again?

Mitile: I do! I loved the taste so much I thought my cheeks were going to fall off!

Being able to taste that again on my birthday sounds great…

Ah, but…

Figaro: Mn? What’s wrong?

Mitile: Well…while it’d make me super happy to celebrate my birthday there…

I also love our usual celebrations where we decorate the room and spend time together like this too…

Rutile: Mitile…

Then let’s throw two birthday parties!

Mitile: Wait, two? That’s very kind, but is it okay to be so indulgent…?

Rutile: Of course! If anything…

Mitile: Wah…!

Rutile: It’d delight your big brother to be able to celebrate his beloved little brother’s birthday so many times. I’ll celebrate from morning til night!

Mitile: Brother…

Heehee, thanks.

Figaro: …So the plan is, next birthday we have lunch at the restaurant, and at night have a merry party together. Sound good?

Lennox: Yes, it’s a lovely idea.

Rutile: For the party at night I’ll make the most scrumptious snacks!

Lennox: I’ll help you out then. I can make Mitile’s favourite smoked cheese.

Figaro: Haha, everyone’s full of pep. Alright, then I’ll give Mitile a special lesson.

Mitile: A special lesson?

Figaro: Yep. An indepth on table manners. How about it, my prince?

Mitile: Gosh, Doctor, again with the teasing…but yes, please!

Hehe. Thanks so much everyone.

I can’t wait to go to the restaurant and have a party with you again!

Mitile MahoPa 2026 Card Episode

[A Lecture on Etiquette]

Akira: Oh, Mitile. What’s up with all the cutlery?

I thought you finished lunch already.

Mitile: Ah, Master Sage! There’s actually going to be a joint lesson on table manners between the five countries soon!

Akira: Between the five countries?

Mitile: Yes! Dr. Figaro told me that “table manners differ depending on the country, so you should ask around”.

So that’s why Chloe, Heathcliff, my brother, Prince Arthur…

And Lords Snow and White, are gathering together!

Akira: Wow, sounds interesting! It’ll be a joint lesson from the manor that houses so many wizards from different lands. I think it’s a great idea!

Mitile: Hehehe, thank you! We’re living together under one roof, after all…

Learning about each other’s cultures will be another step towards understanding each other too.

Akira: That positive attitude is just like you, Mitile.

Uhm, if it’s alright, could I sit in?

Mitile: Of course! Then could you teach us about etiquette from your world too, Master Sage?

Akira: I’d love to!

Mitile: Yaaay! Hehe, I might just become a professor of etiquette across the world!

[Our Ideal Magic Manor] Part 1

Rutile, Mitile, & Lennox: …Haaah…

Figaro: I don’t think anyone saw this coming.

Rutile: Wow, what a lovely sunset…

Mitile: It’s almost dinner time! I sure am hungry.

Figaro: That’s proof you did a good day’s work Mitile. I wonder what we’ll be having?

Lennox: Seems to be chicken braised in red wine. Nero got a fresh one at the mark–

Get down, you two!!

Rutile & Mitile: Waaah!?

Figaro: Possideo.

Everyone alright?

Mitile: Y-Yes! But what was that…

Rutile: …! Look, over there! Aren’t those our rooms flying away in the blast!?

Figaro: Good grief…they took a direct hit from Mithra’s magic. I can sense that Oz is fighting him. Those two just never learn…

It’ll be okay, kids. Our rooms may have been blown away, but the rest of the manor is standing.

We just need to get Oz to fix it before the sun set–

…Huh?

Lennox: …The sun has set. Lord Oz can no longer use his magic…

Rutile: Oh no! So, the three of us…

Rutile, Mitile, & Figaro: have lost our beds for the night..!

Rutile: Mr. Leno, thanks for letting us sleep over.

Lennox: Gotta help each other when we can. By the way, how’s Riquet? I told him he could stay over too.

Mitile: Riquet’s sleeping over in Lord Oz’s room. He was furious, saying he’s lecturing him until bedtime.

I also want to give Mister Mithra a scolding…but he ran away through his space door…uuugh, geeeez…

Rutile: Come on now, it’ll all be okay in the morning.

We’re lucky that Chloe fixed our pajamas, so we could bathe and change clothes.

Figaro: Rutile’s right. No use crying over spilt milk, so let’s just enjoy our slumber party.

Since we’re here, how about a special treat from the doctor? Possideo.

…Huh? Leno, did you eat my chocolate? The expensive one that you let me keep on your shelf there.

Lennox: I wouldn’t have eaten it. You took it yesterday, remember? You said the Master Sage was coming over…

Figaro: Ah, I did. I ate a few pieces with the Master Sage, and left the rest in my room…

Mitile: …that got blasted away by the explosion?

Figaro: …

Lennox: Please don’t make such a serious face. It’s already spilt milk.

Rutile: …

…Alrighty. I’ve come up with a great idea!

[Our Ideal Magic Manor] Part 2

Rutile: All our rooms were blasted away, so why don’t we come up with something special and fun, something we could only do now?

Mitile: Something fun we can only do now?

Rutile: Yes!

Let’s brainstorm a bunch of ideas for our Ideal Magic Manor while we’re here.

If we think of something great, then tomorrow morning we can make a request to Lord Oz. Maybe he’ll grant it for us alongside the repairs!

Mitile: Will he really…what if he gets mad and tells us to not act spoiled?

Lennox: Lord Oz is a caring man, I’m sure he won’t get mad. I think it’s a bright idea, Rutile.

Figaro: Indeed. There’s nothing to be gained from moping around, so why don’t we chat?

For me…I think I’d like a specific room for my medical examinations. Right now I use my own room, but I am tight on space to put my snacks and everyday items.

Murr and the twin teachers get to have their own storage room, so don’t you think I could get a mini clinic of my own?

Mitile: I agree with having a clinic here! You look after everyone’s health, Doctor, so you should get some special treatment!

I would like a field for medicinal herbs, big enough so I can share them with everyone. We already have some in the garden, but a special big field…

Rutile: That’s nice! It’d be a big help to everyone to have some of your herbs, Mitile.

What about you, Mr. Leno? Did you think of anything?

Lennox: For your…

Rutile: “...wishes to come true” is not allowed! I want to hear what you’d like.

Lennox: You beat me to it…hmm, but I already have my own room here.

Rutile: Oh Mr. Leno, so wantless. Then I’ll go ahead and say what I’d like, and it’s for the fountain to spout out tea!

If I may be greedy, then I’d like it to change depending on the day into soda water or juice.

Mitile: R-Rutile, isn’t that a bit excessive…?

Figaro: Hahaha, it’ll be okay. I dunno if Oz would grant it, but if it’d be great if he did.

Lennox: If we’re being overindulgent then…I’d like it if the hallways became “treadmills” from the Master Sage’s world.

Mitile: Tread?

Lennox: It’s a large mechanism. The floor moves like a flowing river, and you walk opposite its flow to train your body.

Rutile: Oooh~! I bet it’d be fun to skip on that!

Figaro: Then I’d want an “escalator”. It’s another mechanism from the Master Sage’s world, and they’re supposedly staircases that move on their own.

I’ve been finding the stairs to the lounge room to be a tad tiresome as of late…

Mitile: Then…then I’d want for the flower beds in the garden to transform into golems, because it’d be cool.

The bricks would go, like this, and move like stamp stamp…it would emit flames from its elbows, and fly in the sky…

Rutile: Wooow, that sounds awesome~! I want to try basking in the sunlight on a golem’s shoulder.

Then, I–...

…Oookay, I’ve drawn it! “Our Ideal Magic Manor”!

Now that we’ve finished it, let’s all try and imagine what a day in this manor would be like. I bet it’ll be the best day ever!

[Our Ideal Magic Manor] Part 3

Rutile: Alright, close your eyes everyone, and imagine.

The Southern Wizards: Humhumhuuum…

The Imaginary Four: Good morniiing! Let’s go for breakfast!

Imaginary Rutile: Wooow! The hallways are moving! Ah, woawoawoah…

Imaginary Mitile: Brother, look out! If you stop moving you’ll get carried away…!

Imaginary Lennox: Nice, a “treadmill”. Now I can work out my lower body.

Imaginary Figaro: …

Mm, yup. This is a no-go for me. I’m gonna go out and hop onto my broom, and head to the dining hall from there. See you.

Imaginary Lennox: Dr. Figaro, please don’t give up alrea…ah, he’s being carried downstream…

Imaginary Rutile: *gulp gulp* …paaah! Drinking from the fountain after a meal is the best! Looks like today is apple juice!

Imaginary Mitile: I think I’ll have another cup…ow!

Imaginary Lennox: Mitile? What’s wrong?

Imaginary Mitile: My right tooth in the back is…

Imaginary Figaro: Mitile, can you say “aah” for me? …Ah, ahh, this is your textbook cavity right here.

It’ll hurt, but I’ll make it better with my magic. Bear with me now.

Possideo.

Imaginary Mitile: Ow ow ow! Gaaaah…!

Imaginary Figaro: Alright, let’s head to the lounge.

Treadmills aren’t for me, but these escalators sure are handy.

Imaginary Rutile: I agree…ah. I forgot my pen in my room.

I’m going back downstairs. Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho…heave…ho…?

…No matter how much I go down I keep returning to where I was! How do you go down on an escalator…!?

Imaginary Mitile: Ahh! The Northern wizards are fighting again!

But now…Flower Bed Golem! Have at those guys!

Imaginary Northern Wizards: Aghhhh–! Ya got me–!

Imaginary Rutile & Figaro: So strong!?

Imaginary Lennox: That’s pretty awe…ah, the flowers are falling onto the ground. …We just planted them too…

The Southern Wizards: Ermm…

Rutile: I tried to imagine it, but nothing went well…

Lennox: Haha. Having all your ideals be granted is its own problem too.

…Ah, we’ve been talking for so long it’s almost midnight. Shall I pour us some warm tea before we go to sleep?

Figaro: That’d be nice. I’ll get the cups.

Mitile: I’ll help…ah! I found honey in the cabinet! Hey, can we put some in the tea?

Lennox: Of course. Only if you thoroughly brush your teeth though.

Rutile: …Hehe.

Mitile: Rutile? Did something happen?

Rutile: Nope. Just…

Chatting with everyone, drinking warm tea, and sleeping.

Even if it’s not our ideal manor, I think I love this manor the best.

Figaro, Mitile, & Lennox: …

Rutile: So…

Let’s drink some warm tea, and sleep next to each other. Just like usual!

Rutile MahoPa 2026 Card Episode

[Imagine Anything]

Akira: Yesterday was crazy. Oz and Mithra blew away yours and everyone on the first floor’s rooms during their fight…

Rutile: But we also had some crazy fun! We all had a sleepover in Mr. Leno’s room, and imagined our “Ideal Magic Manor” together.

Akira: Your ideal Magic Manor?

Rutile: Yes! Like, wouldn’t it be nice if the fountain spouted out a different flavour of juice everyday…

Or how cool it would be if the flower beds in the garden became golems!

Akira: That’s some wild imagination…! Though it is fun to daydream about anything like that.

Rutile: Right?

Master Sage, what would your ideal Magic Manor be like? And of course, anything goes!

Akira: Huh~! Gosh, it’s hard to narrow it down!

Well, one thing I’d like is for the dining hall to become a cat cafe once a week. And…

Gaaaaugh!?

Riquet: Oz, Mithra, AGAIN!? Behave yourselves, this instant!

Snow & White: This calls for punishment! Noscomnia!

Akira: …

…Actually, maybe my ideal would be a manor that doesn’t break down from the Northern wizard’s fighting…?

Rutile: M-Maybe so…?

For... idk like a month or two, I've been... in a mood.

I exited my semi-frequent "chatting up Discord strangers" state (though I'd still like it if my irls texted more), and I actually sort of want to do things like coding and going outside (I think I've been singing and standing up at my desk* more too?), but I've also been feeling extra sleepy. Getting sick obviously didn't help, and the new sem is contributing to both the urge to go out and the need to sleep. I wish that napping wasn't so... inconvenient. I dislike that it interrupts things, but it's nice when I don't do it wrong (which is hard to manage, sighhhhh).

Haven't been playing FFXIV much either.

Not because I don't want to, or that I'm burnt out, but I'm in the habit of playing in the evening, which is when the sleepiness hits really hard, and then I have no energy to play. Well, in some ways that's probably for the best. There's only so many times I can queue for the same free trial duties while ignoring the non-duty content without yearning to sub. My ADHD makes time all wibbly-wobbly so it feels kinda like I was playing a lot recently anyway even though I definitely didn't. Still love the game to death though. Actually, I guess this is a positive sign: I would get really stressed when I missed days of Genshin, because I was genuinely addicted to it as a coping mechanism for the quarantine era — not feeling that bothered at missing FFXIV days despite my fixation on it is relieving in a way.

Hahhh, I know there's things I could do to up my energy, but. :gestures: Lack of energy to do those things.

Anyway! I kinda forgot how fun it is to do some friendly (but wild) flirting, especially with other aroace people. Scratches an itch I forgot I had.

Also, I keep realising and then forgetting that even though I use the music section on all my posts, I literally never actually check to see if the people I am subbed to use it, so I might have missed out on seeing some great taste.

I think it’s INCREDIBLY hilarious that the last time I made a post here was February 1st. xD Here I am again on March 1st, and another month starts anew.

I’ve been spending a lot more time offline, tbh. Been putting my phone on Do Not Disturb more than usual, and some weekends I don’t even pick it up at all. xD I don’t think it’s burnout per se, but definitely in a bit of a “just survive the day” type mood and finding the strength to put one foot in front of the other in more productive ways that don’t involve doomscrolling.

That’s also caused me to take a step back from my creative outlets, but I wanna hopefully start writing again soon, especially with the last round of OC x Canon Week on the horizon. ; o; Also wanna try to revive my Fannish 50 posts since I kinda miss those? Maybe? We’ll see. xD

I miss writing and wanna write more, so we’ll start there and see where it all goes.

Anyways, here’s a pretty cool album I got with the most recent Bandcamp Friday extravaganza! Hope you enjoy. ❤️

Whaaat?! It's March already?!

What have you been working on and how are things going? Found any cool resources to share? Or just want to say hi?

zavodilaterrarium

Questionable art from friends that I forgot existed (but not the questionable art that prompted this whole search)

Art I made that shows that pink/purple and green was always my destiny

Money that I never took out of cards (not even sure it was in the correct card)

Copious amounts of spare paper in various types which I really could have used if I'd known about it...

Younger-me doxxing my full name, address, favourite teacher, etc. in random notebooks

Unused cards

A card addressed to me, saying "I think something makes you a really great [sibling]" — something? How delightfully specific!

Art from friends, pasted into a notebook right next to a scan of said art

Mentions of going to the houses of kids I don't remember, with literally all the guests being kids I do remember

A cute mini clipboard with handmade Chinese knot charms just randomly attached for no reason

A time-capsule letter I wrote because of school, that includes lines such as "Also grammar isn't actually this bad normally but you are me so..." and "What is your sexuality in the end?" (the same as I thought back then, btw)
