I forgot about these pictures from Vroid Mobile lol. My OC Hale and his son Kanon hanging out with the giant teddy bear chair. The bear was part of the limited time Christmas decor iirc. I doodled kid Kanon's pajama print myself in SAI & was very proud of that.

My luck on Camille's banner was pretty bad. But I've had fantastic luck on the banner for his signature weapon, Blessings of Lustrous Carmine. BoLC is pot 3, plus I've pulled Clannibal, and Oblivion once each.

The stars must have aligned or something. I pulled Camille before hitting hard pity, and I got a perfect essence for his signature weapon in the first round of essence farming today. He's really fun on a team with Laevatain and Wulfgard.

My background gray people are a bit more detailed than I initially planned. I'm using these two for some of the unnamed background Researcher NPCs in KaL. I dunno yet if I'll eventually replace them later or if I'll leave them in. Any replacements will also have obscured eyes.

Taking a page from a certain anime I liked in my youth and making the background characters in Kay and Loup's game generic, gray, faceless figures. At least for now. I even might make their hair, labcoats & the rest of their outfits gray so it's clearer it's a stylistic choice & they're not mutants.

I'll stick to this approach rather than trying to use a parallel common event. I feel like this is a case where trying to use a common event might way cause more performance issues than having a copy of the same normal event on multiple maps.

Well damn. Elmott got his 5* uncap, and Shao finally got his SSR. Sweet.

Six, Eustace, and Nier are my top 3 favorite Erunes in Granblue, I think. I also like Elmott, Shao, Seruel and Heles. And the twins. Even if I still can't tell what animal ears the twins are supposed to have. 🤔

I dunno which version of Loup's sprite I wanna use. He's about 5ft8 and Kay is 6ft. I want Loup's sprite to be slightly shorter, but I also want him to look like a 20 something man.

Trying to keep track of all the variables that will determine the ending feels like it's gonna be a pain later.

I played Star Ocean: Anamnesis in JP just for the newer Persona games collab years ago. I didn't even care if I got Joker or not. I just wanted Minato (and to a much lesser extent, Yu.) I ended up pulling all 3 of them but I don't think I still have any screenshots of Joker.

Got him from Nasti's event. I love Arknights. The Operator designs, the art, the soundtrack, the characters & lore, the actual gameplay... But I dunno if I'd like it as much if I wasn't such a bookworm growing up (seriously some event stories are pretty long).

Arknights Players have noticed that Endmin strongly resembles Priestess. I used to exclusively head canon Doctor with dark hair, but I kinda assume that Doctor is supposed to have albinism in the anime. I could buy Priestess and Doctor being the biological parents of Endmin tbh.

In-game art of Arknights NPC Priestess. Priestess is an adult woman with long, dark hair past her shoulders. She is wearing a black hair band, white lab coat, white turtleneck, black skirt, stockings, and white shoes.

By Ardashir I mean the self-proclaimed Phidia snake man from Arknights: Endfield. I can't get over how he's apparently NOT a Lich Sarkaz. He has the horns, funky tail, and distinct Arts to qualify. Potential spoiler in the screenshot.

Whew. Finally managed to clear Perilous solo in Stronghold Protocol Alliance. Abyssal Hunters ftw. Hoshi2 helped a lot at the end. Gnosis once again reminded me why he's handy even when the boss can't be frozen.

ThatTurtle @sleepingturtlekun.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Somehow the RNG in Stronghold Protocol: Alliance feels even worse than the RNG in the first one. I managed to get all the loot & medals from the first one. I feel really dumb playing this one. I refuse to subject anyone else to my poor luck & bad strategies so I'm playing solo. I got Humus' skin.

Trying to make sure that the background NPCs in Kay and Loup's game stay generic reminds me of those "find the protagonist" anime screenshot memes.

SilverAsh2 finally came home within 135 pulls. Thank goodness. That was my last x10 pull. 🥹 I decided to set Gnosis as my home screen assistant and played "Silver Lining" in another tab lol.

ThatTurtle @sleepingturtlekun.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

I bought him all 3 of his alt skins. I still regret not having the funds for his Nendoroid during pre-order & hope for a rerun/reprint. Had there been a SilverAsh Nui in the last batch of them, I would've grabbed him instead of Phantom. Point is I really really like Enciodes SilverAsh.

I'm probably gonna try to catch the spider & put it outside soon. I don't want it upsetting Henry (my parrot). Henry doesn't seem to like little arthropods. This spider is pretty small.

... 4th pot for Uncle Młynar. 2 off rate up (but good) 6* Operators in under 15 pulls. I can't even be salty. No Mantra for me. Oh well. I can live without her. I'm gonna stop pulling now and go back to saving for SilverAsh2.

ThatTurtle @sleepingturtlekun.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Spooked by a pot for Logos. I can't even be upset. If Logos turns into the next 6* Operator who won't leave me alone, I'd be okay with that. He got a pot from the Orienteering banner last year, and I used a set of Royal Caster tokens on him (right before Lappland2 was announced, iirc.) Pot4 Logos.

I got Greyy2 his Halloween skin, "Biochemical Submergence". Son. I might grab Mitm's alt skin too.

I scraped together enough crystals for one more x10 pull and Yukata Eustace came home. Good. I have his OG unit, and all his alts except for Halloween.

I... really overestimated my speed. I genuinely hoped that I'd have a demo of Kay and Loup's game available by the end of 2025. Oops. I edited the current title screen into a simple poster thing for the Vroid Studio subreddit at the end of 2024 iirc.

I always end up making a blend shape for a blush expression on my Vroid models. I use Unity for that. (Render taken in VRM Posing Desktop.)

Loup is meant to be about 4in (about 10cm) shorter than Kay when they're both barefoot. That doesn't include Loup's ears. Also, he's supposed to be wearing something kinda like a hospital gown. I should probably change the pattern texture on his hospital gown so that's more apparent.

ThatTurtle @sleepingturtlekun.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

I dunno why I made Loup this winter outfit when it doesn't snow anywhere near the facility in-game. I just really felt like figuring out how to make fur trimmed boots & a quilted jacket thing in Vroid, I guess. I remember it taking a while to make a knit sweater texture that lined up correctly.

I cleared the first couple stages in Rebuilding Mandate then checked a farming guide and redid them to hit 100% efficiency. Passively gaining resources based on efficiency is this event's saving grace in my eyes. I like Puzzle's free skin a lot.

Surtr's clone came home in Endfield. I missed red woman. She was one of the Operators I brought everywhere in Arknights for years. She looks gorgeous in 3D.

It took 144 pulls for him to come home once. (I got 3 off rate up random 6* Operators, 2 of which I already had.) Against my better judgement I threw one more pull at his banner and he graced me with his token. Pot 2 Phantom2, yay. He's ridiculously good.

ThatTurtle @sleepingturtlekun.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

I pulled Thorns2 a few days ago. It'll be nice to have another non-Bard who can heal unhealable Operators and summons. (Skadiva is great, I've had her since she was released on global. But I like having options.) Plus Thorns is cool. I like him. Time to save everything for Tragodia now.

ThatTurtle @sleepingturtlekun.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

It's a freaking miracle. Lappalt came home. I was beginning to think I'd have to spark her next year when I got Vulpis at 59 pulls. Love this Lupo. Now I can do a Caster/Specialist run in IS5 and cheese the 4th boss.
