Used my anime TBR boardgame.

I finished 5/6 for my last challenge. Honestly not my favorite challenge, plus when I get a certain amount of exhausted I don't feel like watching anything so that didn't help. I'm hoping for a small list this time or maybe there will be some anime that are easier on me.

Re-draw a prompt once


Roll #1:

An 8, PTW tile. #572 and that iss Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo "Shounen Tanteidan" wow I remember nothing about this but I can see why I added it.

Roll #2:

A 6 aand now the CW tile. #20 which is more Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Roll #3:

A, prompt: reincarnated into another world. Nothing on my CW list for that and I don't want to start something else new, so using skill. New prompt: popular anime. Haikyuu!! ,hopefully I'll be in the mood for it (aka more awake) by the end to watch it.

Roll #4:

An 8, intimidates you. *spends several minute hemming and hawing about what exactly that means* Ya know what, fine, I'll do Mawaru Penguindrum. I don't know how much I'll remember but I refuse to backtrack because I'd probably DNF it due to that character I hate. I may DNF anyway but hey, let's find out at least. 🤷

Roll #5:

A 6, prompt: mystery element. More Delico's Nursery then.

Roll #6:

An 8 and the end. Reward: going to be predictable and go with Dr: Stone again because it never fails to cheer me up.

Most looking forward to: Dr. Stone of course
Least looking forward to: Mawaru Penguindrum

Episode 4:


SO CUTE 😊

Lol, the watch lady was so nonchalant about being revived.

"Everyone else we've woken up has had a freakish mental attitude."

Yeah but you dressed the lady before reviving her, not poor Joel...

Lmao at Joel not being able to resist using the Medusa.

Poor Armadillo. T_T After getting into The Vampire Dies in No Time especially, thinking of John being eaten is too sad.

I love the chibi of them all on their bikes!

Episode 5: The 'who killed who' and relationship chart hahah, blew Chelsea's mind. And the high five, cute!

Kinda funny to be worrying about Hyouga this late;;

Aw, Tsukasa's expression while eating was so cute. :') He honestly is pretty darn cute when he's being silly.

I am once again overcome with love for these guys. I hope more people can look past Boichi's way of drawing women sometimes to see the amazing writing by Inagaki and the otherwise great art. ❤️️

Watched ep. 1-2 of Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, it's okay so far.

Watched ep. 1 of Gnosia, it's so intense/suspenseful!! Might have to take it slow.

Watched ep. 1-2 of Magic Kaito.

Watched Dr. Stone S4P2E1-5!! &

I'm putting IDOLiSH7 on hold, I can't stand the feeling of not remembering what's going on when I wait too long to get back to something, so I'll just go to the game for a while and get back to the anime again someday.

Watched 1 episode of Durarara!!.

Game Check-in: Duet Night Abyss

Spoilers, of course.

The Empire took someone else before and tried to use them but they resisted, so they were killed?

WTF, the story about Miss Hilin and Hamel was so tragic! And what exactly turned him into a monster? Oh shit I just realized that's why it was going for stones so single-mindedly ahhhh.

Yep, so when Charons 'deteroriate' after Awakening they turn into super strong Filthoids. I'm still confused about the connection between Forsakens and Deterioration. How was Hal a Forsaken?

For the Elsa and Annie case, why didn't we have the option to give Elsa the letter from Annie???

'CRAP' WAS CENSORED WTF even IF this was a children's game that would not be?!

Also I find it really sad that they want to take Psyche away to die with them, like at least they didn't kidnap her, they gave her a choice to meet them and yeah Henrik hasn't given them the best impression but her own parents left her with him and it's clear he's trying to help these people, did they ever consider she might want to stay with her guardian in her last moments?

I cannot believe they just assume Henrik was some evil villain killing and controlling Deteriorators based on that tiny shred of info Vita learned. This is so stupid. *smh* Hope they don't do something irreversible.

Me in the middle of feeling bad for Psyche as walks through her visions of the past: "...Wait, why do her parents look like the most generic NPCs ever, did they adopt her??"

I hate the Empire SO MUCH. They think they're the good guys but they're actually the lowest scum. :|

Is the crystal as a cure a loose end? I don't know how I feel about Psyche's ending, I thought she'd die, then I thought she'd live but then she died by killing herself right when she came back to herself. With practice or done sooner, could Vita's Resonance hold Deterioration back or take it away completely?

Outsider mentioned someone else who could use 'this kind of power' who brought blood and chaos and was hanged, was that the person Sybille mentioned earlier?

Am I ever going to understand how catching Geniemons works?? Edit: I missed how to switch to a higher food, I kept using the same one. 😅

After a little while of playing the game, it suddenly doesn't want to let me turn fast, it's almost like slow moon, same when I use my mouse and move it around the screen. Sometimes I have to restart the game because it's hard to fight when you can't turn fast.

I feel really bad for all the stags, every time I'm out exploring with a team they go off and kill them all. 😭

Between my coworkers seeming to NOT understand that this 'new shining insurance' will cost in the long run three times the shit show we have and the unqualified twit Trump has running the Dept of Education deciding nursing is not a professional degree (which would make it harder to get student loans for it among other horrible things) I have had enough of this fucking day. And my apple set off my gastric paresis so not vomiting was a real chore in lab

I'm glad we didn't have the writers meeting. I'm not fit for man or beast (nor have I answered or read posts since...omg nearly the 7th, go me) so have fannish 50 recs

I wrote a thing!!


Title: Only Shades of Gray

Summary: Angel is ready to help his new lover, one of hell’s up and coming overlords grab more territory. But who walks into Valentino’s would-be new territory but someone Angel had been waiting for for decades. So, his brother had finally died.

Rating: teen

Notes:This is set in the late 1970s which is currently, from the old notes up on fandom wiki, the time period in which both Valentino and Arackniss died. So I gave hell that same 70s vibe and this would be when Valentino is just building his empire and what Angel’s role is in it. And his first meeting with his brother after Arackniss died. I am sticking with Giovanni for Arackniss’ living years name as the old notes have him as a Jonathan.

Content warning – Angel’s family is homophobic so there are references to that along with time period appropriate history for Angel’s living years in the 1930s and 40s.

Written Spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The words were Cave, Situation, Extent, Shy, Sip, & Ambitious

And written for the lyrical titles bingo challenge for the prompt, Song with a color in the title. I chose Shades of Gray by The Monkees. And for the allbingo prompt of Duty is heavier than a mountain. Death light as a feather. This quote is used in the story and it is from Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time.

Skill: Re-draw a prompt once

Roll #1

An 8, just past the trap tile and on the 'generate from TBR' tile. #508 which is Jubo! "Shaolin monk gong. Pretty strong manly bottom."

Roll #2

A 10. Prompt: royalty/nobility. I really want to know what happens next in It Seems Like I Fell into a Reverse Harem Game.

Roll #3

An 11...but it's the trap tile. Went back, rerolled a 6, prompt: martial arts: Was about to use my skill before I saw that Trash of the Count's Family is labelled martial arts for some reason. XD

Roll #4

A 5, prompt: sex friends to lovers. The first one on the list is The Chairman’s Mistaken Canary. "A seemingly aloof yet secretly passionate shou × A rich gong who seamlessly alternates between domineering and clueless." that sounds interesting!

Roll #5

An 8, prompt: time rewind. I really wanted to pick Epiphanies again but I don't want to forgot what's going on in I Just Want to Be in a Relationship if I don't read it soon.

Roll #6

A 3 and right to the end. There were a couple I wanted to continue but I can't help it, I really want more Epiphanies of Rebirth;;

"Epiphanies of Rebirth"

[NovelUpdates Page]

Chapter 11: IN. SANE. If this Liu doesn't get thrown behind bars after this there is no justice in this world.

Chapter 12: I feel a little bad for Du Kang.

Can you imagine how furious Lin Jingzhe would be if someone died in his home?

Du Kang, who walked in the front, approached and slapped his face hard.


YES. DO IT AGAIN.

Chapter 13: To the execution block!

Chapter 14: Justice served, though we didn't see Qi Qia's reaction.

Chapter 15: Li Yurong needs to bite the dust next... AND that president eww. Can Li Jingzhe refuse to go back to class 1??

Chapter 16: Du Kang visiting the school, I was worried there for a second but he managed to run into Li Jingzhe so he should find out about class 5.

Chapter 17: *glee*

Chapter 18: Du Kang is a good guy, I'm glad he's the one getting stuff done even though it's stressing him the fuck out all at once lol

Chapter 19.1: Li Jngzhe turned down Qunnan and everyone decided Yu Zhuliang should get it. In the previous life, he would have if it hadn't been for Jiang Run, and Jingzhe didn't want to rob that from him.

Hu Yu is finally getting recognized as an official teacher!

Aw I love the new English teacher, Qian Tian.

Ohh, two new characters? A guy named Hu Shaofeng who curses rather a lot complaining about the donated antiques and his friend Xiao Chi and they're skydiving?! I don't want to jump to conclusions but could Xiao Chi be a regressor as well, since he has knowledge of that Qi Kai guy? If so, he must've found the news interesting since in the previous life the antiques were taken by Jingzhe's mother.

Chapter 19.2: We see how the losers are doing (not great, hah). It's exams time and I can't believe how proud I am of the boys for getting this far. Jingzhe knows inflation is coming so he's going to have to get a job to pay for college tuition.

Chapter 20: Li Jingzhe getting so mad at Zhou Haitang for trying to give up. Ahh I hope they all make it to Yan city.

Holy shit, all those people suggesting Hu Yu falsify his college choices. Glad she didn't do it.

Chapter 21-22.1: How are Hu Shaogeng and Xiao Chi even friends;;

He turned the corner, and the sight he found made his heart soften: the three brats, still shouting not too long ago for Lin Jingzhe to check out, were huddled in the king-sized bed in the outer room, fast asleep.



I should've known Li Jingzhe would do something wild like this to make money. But he can pull it off!

Chapter 22.2: If Gao Sheng was the brains and Zhou Haitang was the muscle, then Deng Mai was the one who got rid of the corpses and eliminated evidence.

😂

Li Jingzhe got his loan, is working on getting into stock and bought the guys new clothes so they can be his bodyguards.

It's really sweet how protective the guys are of Li Jingzhe. :') Just as he is of them though.

His chin was rather pointy, but when combined with a bit of baby fat still left on his cheeks, it made him look like a little innocent white rabbit.

Good thing Li Jingzhe can't read thoughts. 🤣

I like these two quotes:

"speaking the language of humans when seeing a human, and speaking the language of devils when seeing a devil”

“dragons and snakes jumbled together"

CW: Use of 'mentally retarded' in chapter 20: there was no way Mother Zhou would believe it just like that unless she was mentally retarded
