I'm back with the last part of the current ages of Twisted Wonderland characters! Just like before, these are the approximate ages of what the main Twisted Wonderland characters should be now, based on when the game was originally released. These are the last two dorms, so this will be the final post of this series for now. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!


Heartslabyul

Riddle Rosehearts - 21

Ace Trappola - 20

Deuce Spade - 20

Trey Clover - 23

Cater Diamond - 22


Pomefiore

Vil Schoenheit - 22

Epel Felmier - 20

Rook Hunt - 23


That's all of them! As always, I hope you all enjoyed this small series of posts!

I'm back with more Twisted Wonderland ages! But first, I'd like to apologize if I'm a little off on any of these ages. Figuring this out is actually a little complicated, especially without knowing exactly when the characters were born. Birthdays are complicated, especially ones that are at the very end of the year, or ones that would've been before the school year started (when the game was released). So I apologize if any are a year off! I also won't be doing the dorms in order, since some of them have a lot of characters in them. I just wanted to do this because I thought it'd be fun to know how old the characters are supposed to be now, since the in-game profiles never change. Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy!


Savanaclaw

Leona Kingscholar - 24

Jack Howl - 20

Ruggie Bucchi - 21


Scarabia

Kalim Al-Asim - 21

Jamil Viper - 21


Octavinelle

Azul Ashengrotto - 20

Floyd and Jade Leech - 21


That's all for today! I did the three smaller dorms today, meaning I now only have two more dorms to go! I'm not sure if all of these would be fully accurate, but they're at least very close. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's list time! I'm not feeling well today, so I'll be taking a break from the Twisted Wonderland posts. Instead, I'll be listing some cute pictures of teddy demons and eggplant seals from Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle. There's no real reason why I chose this, I just wanted to list a few cute pictures for you all. Now then, let's get on with the pictures! Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing the accurate ages of Twisted Wonderland characters. There's a lot of Twisted Wonderland characters, so I'm only going to do a few of them today. Today is Idia's birthday, and I've noticed that the characters always mention getting older whenever it's their birthday. So today, I decided to make a list of what their ages should be now. Since it's Idia's birthday, I'll start with Ignihyde and then loop around; starting with two dorms. It's also important to note that I'll be aging them up based on when their birthdays are and when the game came out, which was March 2020. So some of them may be a little older. Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy! Happy birthday Idia!

Ignihyde

Idia Shroud - 23

Ortho Shroud - Unknown


Diasomnia

Malleus Draconia - 182

Lilia Vanrouge - 700+

Silver - 22

Sebek Zigvolt - 20

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokemon Center. Pokemon Center is the official Pokemon shop, and it sells a wide variety of Pokemon merchandise. I've talked about it a couple times on my blog before, so I wanted to do a post for it. The Pokemon Center often adds new merchandise, especially for holidays. They also have a lot of seasonal items, and as of right now they're still shipping before Christmas. Some of the items can be pretty expensive, but you can also get some cheaper items as well. If you want to see what official Pokemon merchandise exists, this is a good place to check! Everything on the official website will be official merchandise. As always, I'll be including the link for the official Pokemon Center website below so you all can check it out. Enjoy!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Pokemon. To be more specific, I'll actually be talking about a common discussion topic within the fandom. Fans often think Pokemon are like animals, and that's true for some Pokemon. But Pokemon aren't animals. In fact, a lot of them are more like humans. They can talk and work, and there have even been humans who have married Pokemon. Some humans have even learned Pokemon abilities, as well. It's been implied, and sometimes stated, throughout the series that humans are evolved from Pokemon; so they're basically the same thing. It may seem odd to us, but Pokemon have never been animals. They're monsters. Which means they aren't animals or humans. They're something else entirely, and some of them are important members of society. I wanted to talk about this because I saw it being talked about again earlier today, so I wanted to talk about it myself. Hopefully this clears things up for any fans who may have been confused. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about how to watch free anime. Sometimes anime fans have trouble watching anime because they can't afford to get a streaming service, or they don't have access to one. Of course sometimes you can find someone who uploaded the anime on YouTube or BiliBili. But, those are either low quality, illegal, or they get taken down. However, there are ways to watch it! For example, free legal streaming services have been adding anime recently, including well-known series. This includes Tubi and Pluto TV. Crunchyroll also has some free episodes to watch now, as well. However, they don't have very many. Because of this, I recommend the other two more, since they'll allow you to watch the full series. There are already quite a few popular anime available to watch for free, so anime fans can continue enjoying the genre even without a subscription. I wanted to talk about this because with the holiday season coming up, people may not be able to continue paying for a subscription service right now. But that doesn't mean they should go entirely without, especially since anime is often a passion for people. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Cozy Grove again. I've been playing this game for a few days now, so I'd like to give my opinions on what Cozy Grove does better than Animal Crossing, and some things that are worse. Although people compare these games a lot, they aren't identical. Personally I think the fishing in Cozy Grove is a lot better and easier than it is in Animal Crossing. It's also easier to place objects, find the characters, and craft. There's also quite a few fun features in Cozy Grove, like the daily quests. However, there are some downsides. Sometimes the quests are tedious, or take a few days to complete. There's also an insane amount of quartz gemstones that just take up an inventory space because you can't sell them. I'm sure they'll be needed later, but currently they're in the way. It's a bit more difficult to earn money, which means it's more difficult to complete some of the quests. On the other hand, you can give characters story items even if they aren't in your main inventory. As long as they're in your storage, they're always available. This makes it a lot easier to keep your inventory open. But, that's all I have to say for today. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

The official Twisted Wonderland art book is now available in English! This art book contains a lot of official art from the game, as well as some art that isn't in the game. American fans of the game will be glad to know it's finally available, since a lot of people have been waiting for it. You can find it on Viz's website, where it will tell you the price, where you can find it, and view a small free preview of the book. This art book has been out for a while, but the English translations always take a bit to officially release. There isn't much to say about this, but I wanted to talk about it because I was pretty excited to see an English version of the art book. As always, here's the link for the official Viz page. Enjoy!

3, 2, 1, post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Cozy Grove. I talked about this game yesterday, but I wanted to talk about it again because a lot of people compare it to Animal Crossing; so I wanted to give my opinion on that. I've played Cozy Grove for a couple days now, and I can see the similarities. However, it's pretty much entirely different. Of course you can craft, donate, upgrade your tent to a house, and fish. But the crafting system and resource collecting is a lot different, and the donation system isn't for a museum, but an archive that will reward you for every item unlocked. The house is pretty similar, but the decorating is different as well. The fishing is also way easier in Cozy Grove. You pretty much only have to aim and then reel it in, and it's so easy to catch a fish because they'll swim to your lure even if they're pretty far away. There are also a lot of daily quests in Cozy Grove that have to be completed to further the story. The characters and atmosphere is also pretty different for Cozy Grove. The people on the island are almost all ghost bears, and this is a game based on helping spirits. Despite this, it isn't scary or unsettling at all. Although I can see a few similarities between this game and Animal Crossing, I don't think there are nearly enough to write it off as just a copycat or clone. In fact, there are barely any similarities that I've found so far, and I think it was more likely the developers just liked Animal Crossing and wanted to add a few of the mechanics to their own game. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I recommend checking out Cozy Grove because it really is a very cute game. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Wednesday, December 11, 2024

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the game Cozy Grove. Cozy Grove is a cute little life simulation camping game, and it was released in 2021. It's similar to Animal Crossing, while still having its own unique charms. In this game, your little spirit scout has to camp on an island alone while helping the wandering spirits find peace. It's a daily game that you have to come back to in real time, but you can do other things once you've finished your daily tasks; or before you've finished them if that's what you prefer. It isn't an anime game, but the main character does look very cute and chibi. I wanted to talk about this game because a lot of people compare it to Animal Crossing. However, I think it has a lot of its own unique features. I personally recommend this game, since it's very cute and laid-back. It's currently available as a free trial on the Nintendo Switch, but it also doesn't cost very much as it is. As always, here's a picture of the game. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the problem with new Pokemon. Now, I'm not going to be talking about how classic Pokemon are better or anything like that; especially since some of my favorite Pokemon are from the newer generations. Instead, I'll be talking about the issue with new Pokemon being made. Every generation has a lot of new Pokemon. This keeps the series fresh, and helps fans look forward to the new Pokemon they know will be released. However, recently there have been things like regional variants and other new twists on old Pokemon. But why is this? It's partially because it's very difficult to design new Pokemon. New Pokemon can't look too similar to any fan-made designs. This is to avoid accusations of plagiarism, and also to avoid potential lawsuits. But with so many fan designs, it's getting more and more difficult to create brand new fully unique Pokemon. Because of this, sometimes it's easier to just introduce new ways to update some of the original Pokemon. It can be through new evolutions, regional variants, or new in-game mechanics. This may be a bit disappointing to some fans, but it's one of the safest ways to create new Pokemon. Regardless, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because some fans have been questioning the thought process between new Pokemon and remade old Pokemon for a while, and I think this is most likely the answer. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's winter! That means there's new content in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The weather is getting colder, the villagers are putting on their coats and hats, and snow is falling on the island. If this is your first year playing Animal Crossing New Horizons, then you probably won't have any winter clothes. This is because a lot of the winter gear is only sold at the Able Sisters Shop in winter. Nook's Cranny is also selling a different toy everyday to help celebrate the upcoming Toy Day. Toy Day is similar to Christmas, so it won't be for a little while yet. New winter DIY recipes will also be coming soon. As of right now, there won't be very much new things for winter; aside from the clothes and toys. But later this month more things will be available. That's all I have for now! Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a common problem with English dubbed anime. Although English dubbed anime has become more popular and accepted in recent years, it's still not quite as easy to find as English subbed anime. This is because a lot of fans prefer English subbed over dubbed. However, this causes a problem for English dub fans. Often times the English dub versions of shows are much harder to find than the subbed versions. Along with this, some streaming services will only have the subbed version instead of both. Less popular anime series are even harder to find, which makes finding the dubbed anime almost impossible. This has always been a problem, and I'm glad some streaming services are working to fix it. But it's still a problem nonetheless. I just think it's a bit frustrating, especially since sometimes an English dub will just be fully cancelled and unfinished if it doesn't do well enough. It's really difficult for me to watch the show and read the subtitles at the same time, so it's kind of upsetting that English dubs are still looked down on and ignored as opposed to the subbed versions. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Saturday, December 7, 2024

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be listing five random Pokemon; along with a picture of each. I haven't done this in a while, so I decided to list a few more today. For a little reminder of how this works, I use the Surprise Me button on the official Pokemon website to pick Pokemon for my list. This is to help me list some Pokemon I haven't before, and to introduce fans to Pokemon they may not know about. Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the list! Enjoy! 

1.) Palkia


2.) Flapple


3.) Regigigas


4.) Ampharos


5.) Spoink

Friday, December 6, 2024

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing five of my favorite non-human characters; along with a picture of each, what they are, and what each character is from. I wanted to put together a list of a few of my favorite non-human characters because there's just so many of them. And to keep it from being too repetitive, each one will be from a different series. They'll also each be a different race, just for fun. Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy! 

1.) Lilia Vanrouge (fae) - Twisted Wonderland


2.) Wanderer (puppet) - Genshin Impact


3.) Demon Cleric (demon) - Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle


4.) Sleepy Ash (vampire) - Servamp


5.) Mr. Crawling (spirit) - Homicipher

Thursday, December 5, 2024

It's time for another list! For today's blog post, I will be listing my top three favorite Servamps based on their animal forms; along with a picture of each. I haven't talked about Servamp in a while, so I wanted to list a few today. But to mix it up, I wanted to list my favorite animal forms instead of just my favorite characters; even if there is a bit of overlap. Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy! 

1.) Sleepy Ash


2.) Lawless


3.) Tsubaki

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Sea Butterfly from Animal Crossing New Horizons. The Sea Butterfly is a fish found in the ocean during winter months. However, it's not really a fish; it's actually a type of snail. I wanted to talk about this creature because many players think it's very beautiful when they first see it. Sea Butterflies are very pretty, and are even called Sea Angels. Despite this, it becomes something much different when it's about to feed. It opens its mouth to reveal a pretty unique and oddly terrifying head, which a lot of players really hate. The game actually got it incredibly accurate, and you can see the Sea Butterfly open its mouth either while your character is holding it, or if you put the Sea Butterfly in a tank and turn the light on. Whether this freaks people out or not, it's pretty amazing to see such detail added to the game. Of course it can be startling at first, but after a while it's pretty interesting to see. It's a bit difficult to find a picture of one with its mouth open without someone's character holding it, so here's a picture of what the Sea Butterfly normally looks like instead. Enjoy!


Tuesday, December 3, 2024

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about why Flareon is the best companion for winter. There are a lot of different Pokemon, as well as a lot of different fire-type Pokemon. But I personally believe Flareon is the best one for winter. First of all, since Flareon is an Eevee evolution, that means it's very cute and fluffy. Although its body temperature can get extremely high, it can also be a natural heater. Flareon's fluff releases warm air to help keep Flareon cool, but that means it can also keep its trainer warm. This means not only is Flareon warm, but so is the air around it! This can be very useful for the cold winter months. It's also a good companion, since Eevee evolutions are usually rather friendly. This is why I think Flareon would be a good companion for winter. On a side note, this would also be a good excuse to make a heated Flareon plush, since it would technically be accurate to the Pokemon. Nonetheless, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, here's a picture of Flareon. Enjoy! 

Monday, December 2, 2024

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about gyroids in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Gyroids are small furniture items that can be set on the ground or hung on a wall. They make noises and will bop along to nearby music. But if this bothers you, they can also be switched off. They're rather popular in the Animal Crossing community, especially since the ones in New Horizons are cuter than other previous games. However, there are a lot of them, and I mean a lot. Every gyroid type has multiple colors, and collecting all of them can take a very long time; especially since some of them are more rare than others. You obtain gyroids by burying and watering a gyroid fragment, and then a full gyroid will be formed by the next day. Along with this, gyroids will randomly spawn naturally on your island after a rainy or snowy day. There are 36 gyroid types in total, each of which has multiple color variations; except one gyroid which is only available in one color. As always, I will be including a picture of gyroids below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

Sunday, December 1, 2024

3, 2, 1, post time! Today's blog post will be about the game Homicipher. This game has recently been gaining popularity, so I figured I'd talk about it. It seems very interesting and unique. The game was created by Yatsunagi, and it was released on November 1st of this year. Homicipher is a horror, language deciphering, point and click, and romance game that follows a mysterious female protagonist. The main character finds herself in a mysterious world with non-human beings, having no memory of who she is and no way of talking to the entities. You have to learn to decipher the language of the other entities while trying to escape this strange world. There's quite a few options, endings, and characters. A full playthrough would take hours, and it's meant to be played again and again. I haven't played this game myself, but I do recommend it if you enjoy mysterious twisted romance horror games. It looks very interesting and it has very good reviews so far. As always, I will be including the link for the official Steam page below so you all can check it out for yourselves. Enjoy!

Saturday, November 30, 2024

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a recent Pokemon leak that has been circulating. I don't normally talk about leaks because sometimes they are proven to be wrong. However, I wanted to give my thoughts on this information, since it's about one of my favorite Pokemon. This leak claims that we haven't gotten any new Eevee evolutions recently because every potential design is too similar to a fan-made one. Even if this leak is proven false, I would believe that this is the reason for the lack of Eevees. Pokemon has been hinting at possible Eevee evolutions for years now, but we never get any. This likely is because of the design issue. There are hundreds to thousands of Eevee evolution fan-arts out there, which makes the possibility for an official one nearly non-existent. An official design can't be anything like a fan-made design because then the fans accuse them of stealing. But they can't buy the rights to the fan-arts either, because that will only encourage fans to draw even more in hopes of getting their designs added to the games. If this is the case, there's a chance we'll never get a new Eevee evolution. This is pretty devastating for Eevee fans who have already been waiting years for a new evolution. Some fans are really upset about the possibility of this being the reason. If it is the reason, then the odds of the Pokemon company successfully making an original design are really low. This is just a leak, so it may not be true. But it is a possibility. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Friday, November 29, 2024

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a racing game for the Nintendo Switch, and it was released in 2017. The game features Mario characters, as well as characters from other popular Nintendo games. There's many different game modes, including modes for online and local multiplayer. If multiplayer isn't your thing, you can play it by yourself as well. I finally got to play this game today, and I personally really enjoy it. I recommend this game if you want to play a challenging and creative racing game. But keep in mind, it is about $60 new. As always, here's a picture of the game. Enjoy!

It's Thanksgiving! Which means it's also Turkey Day in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Turkey Day is the equivalent of Thanksgiving in the game, and a chef named Franklin comes to the village for the event. Helping the chef collect his ingredients will reward you with different Turkey Day themed items for your house. Completing all of his tasks gives you DIY recipes for the Turkey Day items, as well as cooking recipes for the dishes you can help him make. You can also talk to the villagers in the plaza for special Turkey Day dialogue, as well. Along with this, you can help the villagers who are in their houses with their cooking. Helping them gather ingredients for their dishes rewards you with hints for Franklin's secret ingredients for his dishes, as well as some of the ingredients you'll need. This event will only be going until midnight tonight, so don't miss it if it's your first time! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As a little bonus, here's a picture of Franklin. Enjoy!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about G-Fuel. G-Fuel is a relatively popular and well-known energy drink brand. Although it seems odd to talk about this on an anime blog, it actually has quite a few anime-themed flavors. There are flavors for Naruto, Dragon Ball, One Piece, Hatsune Miku, as well as a few others. They recently created an official Genshin Impact flavor, as well. I've personally tried a few G-Fuel flavors, and I think they're pretty good. This post isn't at all sponsored, I just wanted to talk about some of the anime flavors they have. I recommend trying this if you like energy drinks, but only if you are able to drink them, and if you're over 18. Children and teenagers aren't meant to drink energy drinks. Nonetheless, I will be including the link for the official website below. Enjoy!

The link for the G-Fuel website: https://gfuel.com/

Tuesday, November 26, 2024

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Nintendo Music app. This is a free app for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Along with this, the app is filled with in-game tracks from a variety of different Nintendo games. You can make playlists, listen to already made playlists, and even download songs for offline listening. The app plays in the background as well, so you can do other things while listening to your favorite Nintendo songs. All you have to do is download the app and link it to your Nintendo account. More songs are being added often, and there's already a large variety to choose from. I recommend this app for anyone who's a Nintendo fan, as long as you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Monday, November 25, 2024

This is my 3,000th blog post! So for today's blog post, I will be listing my top three favorite Genshin Impact characters from every single element. That's a lot of characters, so I wanted to save it for today's special post! Genshin Impact is one of my favorite games, so I thought it would be best to use it to celebrate such a big milestone.

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a song that has been circulating within the anime fandom for a few weeks now. The song is MoeChakkaFire, and it was made by Issey. The song was made for Zenless Zone Zero, and the video features some of the characters from the game. Along with this, the video mostly features the character Ellen Joe. The song itself is pretty catchy, and is quickly gaining attention even outside of the Zenless Zone Zero fandom. I recommend checking this song out for yourselves, since it really is good. As always, I will be including the link for the song below. As a little bonus, I'll also be including the recently released English cover of the song by Will Stetson. Enjoy!

Saturday, November 23, 2024

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Coco from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Coco is one of the most well-known villagers, and she's also considered to be one of the creepiest. She's a normal rabbit villager, and she's supposed to be very sweet. But despite this, her face can be very off-putting. Much like the gyroids, she doesn't have a normal face. Instead, she has gaping holes for eyes and a mouth instead. She also isn't organic, since her ears don't move. This is because Coco and the gyroids are based on Haniwa, the Japanese terracotta figures that were used in Japanese burial rituals. Because of their odd faces and associations with death, these figures have become rather creepy. This makes it even more odd to have included not only gyroids, but also a villager based on these ancient figures. Personally, I also think Coco is a bit creepy, but there's actually quite a few players who love her. As always, I'll be including a picture of Coco below so you all can see what she looks like. Enjoy!

It's time for a list! For today's blog post, I will be listing five Pokemon foods that look like they would taste good; along with a picture of each. There are a lot of different types of food in the Pokemon series, so I wanted to list a few that I thought looked tasty. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Pokeblocks


2.) Poke Puffs


3.) Poffins


4.) Curry


5.) Berries

The Twisted Wonderland anime has been announced! Years after the first announcement, we've finally gotten a release date. The first part, Episode Of Heartslabyul, is set to start streaming on Disney+ in October of 2025. Along with this, Episode Of Savanaclaw and Episode Of Octavinelle are set to start streaming after as well. This is almost exactly a year from now, but at least we know when it's supposed to be released. Along with the announcement, we were also given an official picture to announce the upcoming release. We don't know very much else about it right now, but I'm personally really looking forward to seeing this anime finally be released. As always, I will be including the picture for the Twisted Wonderland anime below. Enjoy!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be listing five cute pochette bags I like from Animal Crossing New Horizons, along with a picture of each. I recently talked about these cute bags in a previous post, so I wanted to list a few of my favorites below. Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy!

1.) Cherry Blossom Pochette


2.) Star Pochette


3.) Dreamy Pochette


4.) Maple Leaf Pochette


5.) Fish Pochette


Tuesday, November 19, 2024

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the pochette bags from Animal Crossing New Horizons. The pochette bags are some of the most common bags to see in the fandom. They're cute, and there's a large variety of them. Fans have even created real life versions of them, as well. In the game, they can be purchased, or made with DIY recipes. There are some you can get from Kicks, there are seasonal ones, there's one you can get from the fishing tourney, and you can even get a recipe for one from Celeste. Because of this, it's no wonder why they became so popular within the fandom. They're pretty simple in design, so they're easy for fans to recreate. They're also rather cute, which makes them even more popular. Since there's so many, it's also fun to collect them. There are about thirteen pochette bags in total, so it would take a while to collect all of them; especially since most of them can only be gotten through seasonal DIY recipes. As always, I will be including a picture of the Maple Leaf Pochette below as an example. Enjoy!

Who is Headmage Crowley in Twisted Wonderland? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Dire Crowley is one of the most mysterious characters in Twisted Wonderland. However, it is known that he at least isn't human. Multiple characters have commented on his age, and a few of them have asked how old he is. Along with this, he has pointed ears, which has been shown to be a fae trait. Because of this, he's likely a fae as well. It's been implied and theorized that he has connections to the Diasomnia boys, but this is yet to be confirmed. It's at least pretty clear that he's a fae, but I don't think that necessarily means he's related to the other fae we know of. Dire Crowley is a very interesting character, and I really hope they expand upon his story and character sometime in the future. As always, here are two pictures of Headmage Crowley so you all can see his ears. Enjoy!

What are the triangle headbands that ghosts wear in anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Anime fans may have noticed that ghosts often wear a strange headband with a single triangle on it. Why is this, and what is the purpose of this headband? Well, the headband itself is used to show that a character is a ghost. This is an easy way to show fans that the character isn't human, without having to change the design of the character too much. These corpse headbands are an easily recognizable symbol, so they're common in anime even now. Traditionally, the headbands were a part of how the dead were dressed. Because of this, the headbands have become associated with death, and subsequently ghosts. I wanted to talk about this because it's still a common question in the anime fandom even now, and the answer is actually pretty interesting. As always, here's a picture of Fuyumi Yanagi from Blood Lad wearing a ghost headband as an example. Enjoy!

It's the middle of November. That means winter is quickly approaching. Which also means, the leaves are falling in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Although this is partially just a cute little addition to the island, you can also catch some of the leaves. Every so often, you can find a single maple leaf floating around in place on your island. Just walk up to it and catch it with your net to get one maple leaf. After this, you can use the leaves for different autumn DIY recipes. The leaves spawn relatively often, and they're very easy to catch. So make sure to catch a lot of leaves! There isn't much else to say about this, but I thought it was a cute way to collect leaves for the recipes. As always, I will be including a picture of the collectable maple leaf below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

1.) Imp Hood


2.) Mage's Striped Hat


3.) Tropical Hat

It's time to post! Since the weather is getting colder, I decided to talk about the Japanese Haramaki. A haramaki, or belly band, is a type of clothing that goes over your stomach. It was created to keep your core warm, since that's believed to help keep the rest of your body warm and healthy. They're usually used in late fall and throughout winter, as well. Although I've seen some people say the haramaki is worn under clothes, I've often seen it worn over clothes; so I suppose it just depends on personal preference. I think these little bands are pretty cute and useful, especially since they come in many colors and patterns now. As an example, here's a picture of Zoro from One Piece wearing a haramaki. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a few things from Twisted Wonderland. I often talk about the fact that Twisted Wonderland focuses almost exclusively on the original Disney films. So today, I wanted to mention two things that were included that are from other related Disney projects instead of just the originals. The first thing, is Malleus' heritage. In the original Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent was never stated to be a fae. This wasn't included until the live action Maleficent movies. Despite this, I think it was a good decision to go with this route, even if Malleus is a different type of fae. Secondly, it was confirmed that Leona is the head of the current Lion Guard. The Lion Guard wasn't added until the show of the same name. Although it doesn't change Leona's character very much, I still think it was a good idea to add this detail. It's a small thing, but I like how it adds to Leona's culture and character. These are the only things I wanted to talk about today, but I still wanted to talk about them because I think they're pretty neat details. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Heen from the movie Howl's Moving Castle. Heen is a dog that often follows around the main characters of the movie. He's a somewhat chubby and lazy older dog, and he sounds like he's wheezing when he barks. Despite this, he's a fan favorite character, and a few different plushies and other things have been made based on him. I personally also really like Heen, since he's very fun to watch in the movie. That's about all I have to say about him, but I still wanted to do a post for him because he's one of my favorites. As always, here's a picture of Heen so you all can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Tarantula Island from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Earlier tonight, I managed to finally land myself on Tarantula Island. So, I wanted to talk about it today. Tarantula Island is a naturally occurring mystery island that you can get to with a Nook Miles Ticket. Although the chances of ending up there are low, it's all reward if you do. You can catch as many tarantulas as you can carry without worrying about being bitten. If a tarantula bites you, your character will wake up back at the airplane. Then you can go back to catching the little creepy crawlies. Each tarantula sells for 8,000 bells, so it's a good idea to catch as many as you can while you're there. The island itself is a plain island with a moat in the middle. The moat surrounds another octagon-shaped island where the tarantulas can be found. There are a lot of them running around, and new ones will spawn in if any are lost. Along with this, only tarantulas can spawn on Tarantula Island. As always, I will be including a picture of the island map below. Enjoy!

It's post time! Recently there has been a Japanese song trending on the internet. It's pretty catchy, and it was released just this year. The song is called Hai Yorokonde, and it was created by Kocchi No Kento. Although a Japanese song isn't specifically anime related, it has been trending in the anime community. However, it's also very familiar to a particular group of fans. That's right, this song sounds almost exactly like Gera Gera Po from Yo-kai Watch. Because of this, quite a few Yo-kai Watch fans thought Hai Yorokonde may have just been a remix of Gera Gera Po. Obviously they aren't exactly the same, but the main sections of the two songs are practically identical. This is why I wanted to talk about it today, because I thought it was pretty funny. I don't think it was intentional, but it's still funny to hear another Japanese song that sounds so similar to the Yo-kai Watch theme. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about something that bothers me in Hatoful Boyfriend. But first! There will be spoilers. So proceed with caution! For those of you who don't know, Kazuaki-Kun is the real Kazuaki Nanaki. There's not much content for him right now, but what is shown doesn't really show him in a positive light. He's been shown to be a whiny shut-in who cries a lot; and he often says he wants to die, only to immediately change his mind. This makes him seem like a pretty pathetic and overly sensitive person. But personally, I don't agree with this. Kazuaki-Kun isn't a pathetic person. He's a depressed and outcast person who's often ignored and has trouble fitting in. He doesn't really want to die, he's just depressed. Which is why he immediately changes his mind and says it's too scary. He's emotionally fragile because he's depressed, and because he's often stressed. People don't really pay attention to him at all, which is because nobody really likes him. Even Hitori only tolerates him. This is extremely stressful and isolating for an individual, which makes him much easier to upset. Along with this, even in the Mirror timeline he has a lot of trouble. He doesn't really fit in with the other teachers, and even the students often pick on him. He's alone, stressed, likely still depressed, and isn't respected by anyone; including his own students. I think there's nothing wrong with Kazuaki-Kun, he's just misunderstood. I know he does have other fans, but it's just kind of upsetting seeing how he's treated within the Hatoful Boyfriend series. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Dream Girlfriend is having a special login event! All you have to do to get the current special outfit is log in everyday for a week. Now, I don't normally talk about these random login campaigns. But the current one is actually pretty special! This outfit is the windy bard outfit. Those of you who are Genshin Impact fans may already see where this is going! That's right, this outfit is based on Venti! It's very similar to his outfit, while still being a bit different. I was very surprised to see an outfit based on a male character in Dream Girlfriend, but it actually looks very good! This isn't an official collaboration, but it's very clear that this is a Venti outfit. I really love how it looks, and I recommend for Dream Girlfriend fans to get it while they can! As always, here's a picture of the outfit! Enjoy!

It's time to post! Today's blog post will be about how to catch a mole cricket in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The mole crickets are a new bug available in November, but they're a very tricky bug to catch. First, you have to listen closely to see if you can hear a cricket. Then, start digging when you find where the cricket is the loudest. Once it's out, just catch it with your net like normal. However! Don't leave any holes uncovered. If you leave any open holes, the mole cricket will climb into one of them and disappear. They'll also disappear like a normal bug if they run for too long. And that's all! They're pretty tricky to find, but very easy to catch after you get them out. Personally I hate having to dig a bunch of holes just to find a bug. Many fans agree with me, as well. As always, I will be including a picture of the mole cricket below. Enjoy!
