i love you!!!! <3
Here’s our Hotarubi Boys <3 Plus some flirty Haku for the person who requested it !!! i hope it’s alright 😭😭 i have no idea how flirting works </3
slight rambling under the cut!
i feel like i spent so long lamenting over my inability to write Zenji only to barely add him </3 So i added a little leo content to hopefully make up for it!!
the dms between haku and mc were SO hard to write?? from a technical standpoint and an artistic one </3 so ignore the timestamps i just spent ages figuring out how haku types lolol
vagastrom edition!!! frostheim is up next <3
writing smaus with alan is hard because he’s so technologically challenged i cant figure out how to justify him replying to posts that don’t directly include him </3
many thanks to the lovely yanon for some of the ideas i used in this one!! :D
frostheim is here!! i tried to focus a bit more on character interaction in this one hehe <3
i noticed like all of my posts have at least one sho or leo interaction. i can’t help it. i love them sm 😭
up next is jabberwock!!
ITS JABBERWOCKING TIME RAAAAHHHHH
its sinostra time everybody clutch yer purses
plus a bonus interdorm hijacking:
ed’s texting style makes me a little sick to my stomach to look at to be entirely honest 😭 which is why it took me so long to introduce him to the twtverse. that one message alone took me like a solid three minutes to type out </3 it is with a heavy heart i say…. obscuary is next…. (/j)
hi!!! <3 thank you for 100 followers wtf?!?!?!?! i’m so glad you guys like these so much?? i have a lot of fun making them hehe <3
Upcoming character cards!
in file order, not release order, obviously. since the alan one is coming out in like 11 hours as of my posting this.
Edward City("Midnight Shower" - jp 「夜来の雨とはぐれ妖」 "Overnight Rain And Stray Beauty") I'm pretty sure this one is the same as the one used in an ad! It's nighttime so that transparent umbrella is safe right. . .?
Haku City("Riverside Gloaming" - jp 「行く川の流れに身を委ね」 Surrender Oneself To The Flow Of The River) This one was also used in an ad? The unique skill is "Fulfilling Days"(jp 「日常の満喫」 "Having Your Fill Every Day") and its fully awakened form is "Mature Joke"(jp 「大人のジョーク」 "Adult Joke") so. . .well, we know how Haku is.
Alan Onsen("Nighttime Soak" - jp 「男身一つ、露天参り」 "Visiting The Open Air [Bath] In Nothing But His Own Body") comes out in about 12 hours! The image from it was also used in an ad before. also the english name for the unique skill for this one is called "Swole" idk why but i think that's so funny. . . .
Upcoming warding cards!
these should go with the above cards, in order, unless i'm mistaken.
Arduous Excursion (jp 「お出掛けも一苦労」 "Even Going Out Is A Struggle")
Reluctant Tourist (jp 強制観光ツアー「」 "Forced Sightseeing")
Unhurried Morning (jp 「穏やかな目覚め」 "Peaceful Waking")
Upcoming cosmic bonds!
as usual i don't currently have a way of seeing who's in each of these, so it's gonna be a surprise for everyone haha. Usually they have at least one of the upcoming units in them though!
Stormbringers (jp 「嵐を呼ぶ男たち」 "Men Who Cause A Commotion") (i'd say it's safe to say Towa is in this one but i thought that about the 'Words Unspoken' one too so.)
Glimmer In The Abyss (jp 「諦観の闇を照らす輝き」 "Glimmer That Illuminates The Darkness Of Resignation")
Palace Of Pleasures (jp 「娯楽の殿堂」 "Palace of Pleasures") ('pleasures' can be 'amusement' or 'recreation' and so on. may not be as suggestive as it sounds. maybe.)
Walking The Line (jp 「最も向こう側に近い場所」 "The Place Closest To The Other Side") ('other side' here is 'other side', 'opposite side', or 'opposite party' not afterlife. . .that i'm aware of.)
as always, take my japanese translations with a grain of salt because I'm extremely out of practice and, most importantly, remember that units will always be rerun! don't go crazy with spending! You'll get another chance within the coming months! Also, thanks to @2flowerz for sharing the ad art they see shared on the subreddit!
if anyone has an idea they want to see for one of these feel free to send it in and i’ll see what i can do 😼 i have a few more lined up (plus an idea for one that would be sort of dramatic/slightly angsty that im fleshing out :D)

I couldn't find clean rips of the chibis so instead I made the normal and rational decision of drawing them all myself as close to the style as I could
feel free to use for whatever (but pls credit me they took days)
what has he been told…..
ok sorry I'm studying Ren in a lab again. random thoughts
- he has asymmetrical earrings, one stud on one ear and two in the other. curious decision. but I do adore it.
- I love how he looks like he's trying to pose in a "I'm not posing, this is natural" way in his "melancholic misfit" card and in his sr uniform card and his casual outfit r card because it just makes me think he does care a lot about how he looks and how he's perceived. I just think he's the kind of person who spends a decent amount of thought and time to put together and outfit that looks like he's NOT trying but also doesn't make him look slobby. He spends time making his hair the Right amount of "I didn't do anything to it" but he did. For sure. so I also think he smells nice and fights really hard against smelling like the diner or any of the animals in Jabberwock. he puts effort in. He just won't let it be obvious. But I Know.
- I think he's one of the taller (not tallest but not mid or shortest) ones canonically? and I'm personally a believer in him just being bigger than he wants to even acknowledge. Like he doesn't want to take up space or be the guy who someone looks at when they're like "I need a strong man to help me carry these chairs!" Bc he doesn't want to help, but everyone probably was like. 👀 You will help, right? You can carry it right? case in point, carrying Haru in the Jabberwock chapters and being like whatever I'm not that strong, it's just easy when you do it like this. Okay. But also how did you know that? Also no, no it's not that easy to just fireman carry someone AND a little octopus AND a little bunny monster. I know you're a ghoul but christ. And he complains that Haru makes him lug around heavy things around Jabberwock. I'm only stating facts here.
- okay now I've pulled out the demonology research below

(source)
I'm crazy and I researched the demon that his stigma is likely unscrambled out to be. Of course take this all with a grain of salt because although I screenshot these from book excepts available through Google scholar, well... It's demonology and hermeticism and occultism and I'm not here to debate their credibility.
Anyway. Not much that explains explicitly what Ren's stigma would be, but our tsundere lazy gamer bf being contracted to a demon who ENCOURAGES sloth? Yeah that tracks.
also (source)
HMM? She who walks in the sea (recall Astaroth is the evolution of a female goddess Astarte/Ishtar/etc) and our gamer bf hates the water? Hmm.
(source)
this just was funny to me. he's built but he looks kinda fucked up.
(source)
and again, the commonality here is that 1) Astaroth stinky and 2) has some kind of knowledge of the past, present, and future/can divine these things at will. So? Why is his stigma related to cleaning/making the mess disappear? Could it have to do something with this control over the past/present/future? Can he change when something is occurring/has occurred? I have no clue, especially when, when it comes to ghouls who have some kind of idea about the Timeline, signs point to Taiga being the one to have that knowledge. If you look up Balam in the same books, well...
There is considerable overlap. So.... I don't know what to come away from this with lmao
I hesitate to make any theories based on the evolution from a fertility goddess because it's a reach and I have little to no expectation that it will be a point in his lore in game, but the information is there for you to do with what you will.
There's not that much like juicy information I could find in my short search that wasn't pay-walled or of dubious authenticity (reddit, blog post from 2003, etc). I could probably spend the time and find more, but alas, I don't have that college access to databases anymore </3 Please let me know if you come to any theories from this though!!
Compilation of Ren screaming cause I love him. [and because I need a new ringtone.]
