The "official" translation of the previous image from the BanG Dream Twitter: "In Kyoto, Maya, Hina, and Eve unexpectedly drew a ticket sending them all the way to Kyushu. But when they arrived in Fukuoka, the destination board displayed the words "6 Tokyo" — Could this be a do-or-die moment, a miraculous comeback in the making?"

A screenshot of TheTVDB where we provided a cleaner TL for English: "Pastel Ludo. In a tragic turn of events, Mai, Hina and Eve have rolled to fall all the way back to Kyushu from Kyoto! The other team stands to win it all with Tokyo in their sights for rolling six! Can the girls possibly change course and make for a comeback victory?!"

Smash 2026 haul! I'm going(?) to do a blog post about the books, but I'm so happy people were selling their art projects/that I could find them better this year!!

A picture of art posters, stickers, keychain charms, acrylic stands, and plushies arranged on the floor. Almost every single piece is of one girl being pretty or two girls being gay. The stickers are of cute animals or girls, and there's two plushies from the same artist: one of a bat and the other a bunny with long ears. There's also some brown and white paws.

A spread of books on the same floor. There's namie's Laleidoscope; qosic's Chromatography; three volumes of The Dreaming; an RPG fan anthology; Sometimes My Brain Worries; the Scarlet Devil Mansion girls if they were in a band; an XIV zine; 1 Week in Vietnam sketches; a "cringe Shadow x OC fanfic"; a gay OC illustration book; Glim*r, a sapphic anthology; sketchbooks of various artists' cat OCs; Bocchi the fanbook; Miku fanbook; Octopath Traveller; an animated flipbook; and various traditional small zines such as Look at My Dog and Look at My Dog (Halloween Edition).

I'll post later but I was wishing for books this year and I'm very pleased

A stack of independently published art books, comics and zines that is about one hand tall. The largest books at the bottom are from namie and qosic, and the rest are too thin to make out until Glimm*r Magazine and The Dreaming series. On the top of the pile is a tiny green zine called There's a Virus on my Laptop, with a fluffy black cat patch partially over it.

got a few of these in purgatory

Excerpt of text that reads: If I learnt anything from practically living online in a US-centric space, it was that I needed to cram every life experience into myself to be worth anything if I was going to be decrepit by twenty and functionally dead by thirty – and the delayed emergence from my life under a rock meant I had scant few years left to exist.

I think you could probably benefit from how I've done it here? just the outermost bits. If you're posing a lot, paint will wear/chip no matter what, but it's the kind of compromise you have to have with plamo

For anyone interested in painting their own blorbo (or adding detail to G'raha), Mikatan did a great series on the GSC blog focusing on the faceplates but which can apply to the whole fig: mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2012/11/0...

I agree (esp. for this price point), though it's usual to have the mould show fine details either way. In my experience, the prototype images are an excuse for scale figs differing, but nendos rarely change. Here's a prototype pic vs mine irl (sorry for gatcha lol) with a similarly detail costume.

Nendoroid of March 7th (prototype image from Good Smile Company) holding a smartphone and posing. Her outfit, a white shirt loosely covered by a blue shirt, with blue skirt and tied-up black jacket, have various painted details on them. Her jacket has orange stripes, her choker has a pink-hued tie, her buttons are gold and even her shoes have little gold clasps. While only just visible, even her sleeve ends have a blue band around them.

A photo of a purchased March 7th nendoroid in the same pose. She has the same level of detail as the previous image.

they had another child so I cleaned him up and accidentally made that surprise brother from Monster High

An XIV Ardbert proxy and my OC, a Hrothgar, have another child that smash-combines traits of both: short dark hair, blue eyes and the straight mouth of one with the blonde braids, fangs, eyebrows and markings of the other. The white guy is saying, "Aye, Bert sure did grow up in a flash".

The child Mii, cleaned up a little to remove much of the Hrothgar's markings, now looks suspiciously like gen three Clawdeen's brother Clawd from Monster High. Light brown skin with short, dark hair, thick eyebrows and a bit of a beard. Tiny ears and a little kitty nose. He says, "I'm now a full-fledged resident! Thanks for looking out for me."

A screenshot of Tomodachi Life where the default-looking man reveals his baby: a combo of his plain white features (large blue eyes and straight mouth) and the face paint I put on my Hrothgar OC (large bushy eyebrows, tiger stripes, whisker spots, ears and two blonde braids).

A screenshot where the baby of the previous picture is running through the house, fresh out of a bath, holding a can of "Cock a Cola" as her parents hurry to catch her.

completely missed that The Vampire's Bride had an English demo months ago and just looked into it since the full loc is out today. I'm not sure it's machine translated but whoever handled the English isn't giving me faith in the full version... hell, there's a typo in the fifth line of the opening.

A portion of the opening text of The Vampire's Bride where lore is sparsely detailed over a clouded full moon. It says: To exterminate the monstrous beings known as "Werewolves," they fight as part of the Imperial Army's Special Assault Force, code-named "Dog Killers: the Stray Dog Carnag."

A screenshot of text from The Vampire's Bride. It says: I jumped out with my colleague Ao, Ao Shinokura's call and shot fire warning shots to guide them.

A screenshot from The Vampire's Bride, featuring a small graphic of a modern-looking military gun, with an attempt at explanation underneath. "Our Type 9 Submachine Gun will only make a small wound and (space, period, new line) will not cause a fatal wound. ...Although it's enough to cause a displeasure."

A screenshot from The Vampire's Bride. It says: The next moment, there was a sound of a huge snapping sound of a thick branch, then an oddly shaped beast appeared. It was similar to a wolf but much larger.

Any exploration of gender is also dragged through localisation that wants to keep things cautious. Pepe is brought up in that article but the text's treatment is inconsistent. It feels like only a flavour of character rather than an exploration of gender in identity because they don't commit.
