hello! discovered you over at AO3 from your Hakuoki fics, and just wanted to let you know i really enjoyed your OkiChi fic, Δ. i thought their characterizations were great and the tension between them was really well written! all of it honestly left me wanting more. do you have any plans to finish it? i realize it hasn't been updated since 2018, but figured i'd ask anyway!

alley-cat-sunflower answered:

Hello there! Just FYI, I post my Hakuōki stuff on @shenanigumi, so I’ll be reblogging it there and probably deleting this original post within a few days.

Anyway, after yet another prolonged and unannounced absence (I’ve taken to just… not even trying to predict when I come and go since I can never seem to stay for long enough), I finally return to answer a question!

I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but I did unfortunately have to move Δ to my ‘abandoned works’ series on AO3. The problem with taking inspiration from real life is that if the real-life events that inspired the story stop happening, it’s not like I can continue it the same way it started…

Sorry for taking so long to answer, and that it’s likely not the answer you hoped for, but thanks so much for the compliments!! I hope to contribute more to the Hakuōki archive sooner or later.

  • slowburn or love at first sight
  • fake dating or secretly dating
  • enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers
  • “oh no, there’s only one bed,” or long distance correspondence
  • hurt/comfort or amnesia
  • fantasy au or modern au
  • mutual pining or domestic bliss

  • bodyswap or genderbend
  • angst or crack
  • apocalyptic or mundane

I’m seriously out-of-touch with this community at this point, so I don’t really know who my fellow writers even are at this point… but if you are one of them, please do it and say I tagged you! I want to know!

Hey Author!! Could I have a HC on how would the guys react if they tripped and fell in front of their s/o in public? Who would be very nonplussed, chill, embarrassed or angry about it? Oh my, I feel so bad

Hahahah, no need to feel bad! As an author, or at least a writer, I’m a sadomasochist.

  • Chill: Sanan, Iba. Oh dear, they must have tripped on something. How uncharacteristically clumsy of them. At least they’re fine and you’re worried about them, right? They consider it an honor to bask in your concern and attention. (Sanan in particular might have done it on purpose just to gauge your reaction.)
  • Laughs it off: Harada, Nagakura, Sakamoto. Sure, they’re a bit embarrassed and all, but they’ve survived way worse than this. They’ll just feign injury to get you to care for them, but they’ll do it in such an obviously exaggerated way that you can’t help but laugh. Then the spirits will be lifted and they’re back in business, baby.
  • Pretends nothing happened… but they’re blushing: Hijikata, Okita, Saito, Souma. They just pick themselves up as soon as you ask if they’re okay and keep moving to avoid public scrutiny. If you try to talk to them about it, they’ll just avoid eye contact and insist they’re fine. You’ll pick up on the “don’t mention that” vibe pretty quick.
  • Would like to die: Heisuke, Yamazaki. They’re absolutely mortified and their confidence will be materially damaged for the rest of the day. You’d better give them some TLC and try not to mention it so they can forget all about it and move on with their lives. Maybe an evening spent relaxing with some alcohol is in order?
  • Tell anyone about this and I’m breaking up with you: Kazama. Nothing happened, do you understand? You saw nothing. Kazama has never tripped and fallen in his life. You must have been seeing things. Are you sure you didn’t fall and hit your head?

Shenanigumi will you ever write a modern!au KazaSen? 🥺

Believe me, I’d love to!! But as you may have noticed, I’ve been a bit short on the inspiration lately, to the point that I can’t even update my existing post-canon KazaSen story. So we’ll see what happens, although please know it’s not because I don’t want to that I haven’t yet.

Hey Alley! Referring to your previous HC about fangirling, I have another HC request: it’s the other way round. How would those hakuouki boys react to their s/o being celebrities and being surrounded by crazy fanboys/girls? Who will be the most insecure about it? Who will be the more understanding type that it’s their jobscope or who will literally become super possessive?

Oh man, interesting! Dating a celebrity, hmm…

  • Either quit your job or take me with you everywhere: Okita, Sanan, Iba, Kazama. Even if they understand why you can’t spend more time with them, they don’t understand why you’re trying to juggle them with your career. Either they should come first, or you should just leave them and focus on your dreams, since trying to do both at once leaves them feeling neglected and jealous and generally resentful.
  • I don’t like this very much but it’s your life: Hijikata, Saito, Harada, Nagakura, Yamazaki. These are the guys who want to travel with you as much for their peace of mind as your own, and who, if they can’t, like daily video calls to hear how you’re doing. They do get protective on occasion and don’t fully understand your drive to withstand the insanity that is your job, but they do love you more than they hate the fact that they don’t get to see you as often as they like. For you, they can even handle the occasional puff of hate wafting their way from crazy fans.
  • This is kind of inconvenient but I support you: Heisuke, Souma, Sakamoto. They travel with you when possible and, in some cases, go to your events as fans to cheer you on. Of course they wish they could spend more time with you, but they don’t hold it against you since that’s just the way your job is. They’ve adapted their lives to yours as best they can, and are willing to do what they can to support you, even if that’s just trying to be a stabilizing influence in a hectic world.

Can you please, please talk about my one and only, Zelos??? Spill your magical mind tea, Alley. I love every sip.

Oh God, well,,, I wasn’t going to talk about him on this blog, but… if you insist. (Wow, I’m a pushover.) Tales of Symphonia spoilers ahoy, and warning for length and complete irrelevance to anything otome. This is also probably going to be a persuasive essay–style spiel, but don’t worry, I know you already agree.

5 male characters I love

Tagged by @impracticaldemon! Thank you!!

I decided to put them in approximate order, so these really are my top five that I can think of. But to spare myself a considerable amount of agony, I made them all from different fandoms to reduce the sheer number of choices.

1. Kazama Chikage [Hakuouki]

Everyone on this blog should already know this, but in case anyone needs a refresher on why, let me just redirect you to my existing, long-established essay. For the sake of this post, the TL;DR version is that, despite being morally ambiguous at best, he’s a fascinating, multifaceted character with his own strong set of beliefs based on his own internal compass, and I appreciate that. Even if those beliefs are that humans are worthless compared to demons.

Hakuouki Reimeiroku: Illness in Summer
From the tokuten disk for buying all 6 Reimeiroku BDs/DVDs. I subbed this because its not likely for any sub group to do it. :D Heres srt file for viewing sub offline. Depending on your player, you might need to change the file name to the same name as the video for the sub to show. BTW I…

Posting this here in response to an anon inquiry @shenanigumi received about the bonus Hakuouki Reimeiroku (anime) episode “Illness in Summer”.

Well worth watching!  The translation can be found at the same link.

~ Imp

[Update: @soujthings added links to youtube videos for other bonus videos to her reblog which you may also find helpful :) Just one small word of warning - remember to treat youtube with caution, since people don’t always credit the translator appropriately (or at all), and it’s better to support official releases as much as possible]

saw an ask about the hakuouki game and i was just wondering if everything is available in ps vita? or just kyoto winds, as google said?

Unfortunately, yes, the only localized versions of Hakuōki available on the PS Vita are the KW/EB series.

im the bonus episode anon. thank you for answering!! i just thought i kept seeing bonus episodes that i never saw when i watched the 2 seasons, the prequel and the ova with 6 eps. theres this episode with the cat, then the illness in summer, those... anyways thank you still!!!

Huh, to my memory, I’ve never actually seen any of those… the closest I can think of is translations for a couple drama CDs I’ve heard here and there (but I’m not the best resource on those, sorry). Best of luck finding what you’re looking for!!

Anonymous asked:

do you watch the anime? If so do you know where to watchh the bonus episodes?? i keep seeing a lot of extra episodes and im just obSsessed with canon interaction and i cant even play the games T_T

I’m not sure which bonus episodes you mean (like, Sekkaroku? Otogisoushi?), but I think I might be able to help. I’m not totally sure whether these links still work, but I’d still like to direct you to this masterlist of sorts, complete with minor guilt trip. If nothing else, you’ll at least know the specific names of the series so you can look them up properly.

Hope that helps!

Where do you play this game? Can it be played on phone? Do you have to pay?

Hey there! Let me just take this opportunity real quick to reassure everyone that yes, I’m still alive and healthy, though you wouldn’t know it from this blog given how little I’ve posted. I’m once again trying to pick up my own pieces and keep going, but I’m sure we all know that kind of thing has been difficult lately.

Anyway, I’m assuming by “this game” you mean Hakuōki, since that’s most of what this blog is about, but the answer is more complicated than you’d expect. (Short answer: yes to both your latter questions.) There are many different versions of the core game called Hakuōki, with different features depending on the platform. Unfortunately, yes, you do need to pay for each of them. The English localized versions I know off the top of my head—apart from the actual original sans any bonus content, which I don’t think is even available on a current system anymore—are as follows:

Tag game!

I was tagged by @impracticaldemon​!! Thank you!! (Yeah, I’ve done this one before, but who knows how things have changed lately?) I’m throwing it under a cut because I tend to be pretty… uh… verbose sometimes. Looking at you, pairing-related question.

SaitoFest 2020 Prompts!

Prompts 2020 (Link)

Theme:  “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”

Two prompts are offered for each day, to provide some choice - you are free to use one, both, or none!

Day 1 [February 16] : Fond Memories  |  The Best of the Best (the unbeatable swordsmen of the Shinsengumi; real life legends; challenging the Oni)

Day 2 [February 17] : Shadows (Past / Present) |  Heartache

Day 3 [February 18] :  So, It’s Your Birthday… (Celebration) |  Tonight We Drink (Saké for Sorrows)

Other ideas:

A place where he could belong (“the best of times”)

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap (Saito the enforcer)

Cold eyes, warm heart (in Hakuouki, Saito is quiet, stoic, and ruthless; but whether in his own route or others’, his behaviour is surprisingly caring and compassionate)

[Images: some via Imp; some borrowed from @kondo-hijikata​ (waves)]

One week to go reblog!  Help us celebrate the Third Division Captain’s birthday!

Ideas (any pairing, or no pairing; Saito-centric):

~ drabbles ~ sketches ~ humour ~ fic recommendations  ~ older fanart that you love and want to highlight (your own, or a reblog of the artist’s own tumblr post) ~ playlists ~ amv’s (your own or recommendations) ~ Saito gifs!

… be creative, or share creativity ♥ please be careful not to use somebody else’s fanart or other fanwork without explicit permission (reblogs from source always okay!)
