Final Fantasy XV Thoughts from a Cat Lover

Unboxing My Habanero Boyfriend [Guest Post]

5 / 14 / 155 / 14 / 15

I chose to grow Habanero, the tsundere guy with a bad mouth.

Let me start this post off by saying: sometimes when you’re pals with Anne, she will ask you to be a surrogate plant parent to a vegetable ikemen boyfriend. She will ask you what your vegetable boyfriend type will be. Don’t resist. Give her your address. Receive the above box in the mail. This is my duty as official Tokyo correspondent to Chic Pixel, and I will take up any and all responsibilities, be it sampling various themed cafés or tenderly growing an anime boyfriend.

Guest Post: The Hello Kitty Mister Donuts Experience

4 / 20 / 134 / 18 / 15

For my first ever guest post, I’ve finagled my highly-qualified Japan correspondent Tim van Ingen to make the arduous journey down to his local Mister Donuts shop to try the new Hello Kitty donuts I blogged about last month! Since I can’t go in person, I’ll live vicariously through his descriptions and photos like the rest of you. Let’s see what he has to say…

Tim: “I just went to the shop, where I spent an inordinate amount of time staring at pink donuts to decide which ones I wanted (it made me feel only slightly uncomfortable!) and then I just went ahead and ordered them. You need to spend 600 yen to get one of the headphone jacks, but you don’t actually have to spend it all on the Hello Kitty donuts. Just as long as you spend 600 yen and there’s at least 1 Hello Kitty product in there, you get one of the bows. So I just bought 4 donuts and a glass of Oolong tea (gotta stay healthy!), and that was it. I had to ask the girl behind the counter about it, though, because she wasn’t showing any signs of giving me one of the bows of her own accord. I HAD TO DRAG IT OUT OF HER.”

the Hello Kitty campaign.
Best. Packaging. Ever! 

“I started with the green apple thing [pictured above]… I really liked it. I have no beef with green apple flavored things (unless its beef), and the combination of whipped cream, white chocolate and donut dough worked fine enough in my book. I’d buy it again.”

“The cupcakes were pretty nice, too! The thin layer of chocolate on top covered a small amount of whipped cream (flavored orange and strawberry respectively) and the cake parts were decent, too (if a bit dry), so yeah, they were nice enough. Not something I’d buy again, though.”

Well, there you have it. I’ll admit I didn’t think the idea of a green apple cream-filled donut sounded very appealing, but if Tim says it was good, I’ll take his word for it! Oh, but there’s one more little thing… Guess what he picked up for me?

Wahoo! It’s a pink Hello Kitty bow headphone jack accessory! I’m lucky Tim didn’t want to keep it for himself!

I’d like to give a huge thanks to Tim for taking the time to try the Hello Kitty donuts I’ve been dying to eat myself and be so kind as to provide photos and a writeup for me to post here! He can be found on Twitter at @Zolbrod, and his wonderful localization work can be seen in the recent eShop release The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave. If you have any comments/questions for him, leave them here and I’ll be sure he sees them, or feel free to get in contact with him yourself via Twitter!

Hisui Zorua! 💜 They are coming out with so many Hisui Zorua! 💜 They are coming out with so many cool new Pokémon designs for Legends wow 😍😍 I’m still on the fence about the game itself, but this Zorua is def a new fav! This piece was inspired by @citrinenote’s adorable style, and I tried a few new things like multicolor lineart
How about that Nintendo Direct?? So many good anno How about that Nintendo Direct?? So many good announcements! 😍😍 I am obviously most excited for Monster Hunter Rise DLC but new Kirby is also super exciting! And the Splatoon 3 and Bayonetta 3 trailers were so great 🙌 What was your favorite thing from the Direct?
Just finished the Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Just finished the Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars demo! Did anyone else play it? The character designs are done by Kimihiko Fujisaka, who also worked on Drakengard, Nier Replicant, and The Last Story! I still need to play The Last Story… 😅 I can’t decide if I’ll pick up Voice of Cards on release but it’s a pretty interesting premise! Worth trying the demo if you like card-style games and D&D sessions 🐉
I finally finished all routes in Olympia Soiree! Y I finally finished all routes in Olympia Soiree! You can read my full spoiler-free review at Chic-Pixel.com 💖 my surprise favs were Akaza and Riku! I particularly love Olympia’s obsession with trying Akaza’s smoked meats 😂😂 Tokisada’s route was also really interesting to me, and he’s such a cutie! (Not my fav as a love interest tho haha…) has anyone else finished this? If so, who’s your fav?
