I'm so upset about them cancelling Valko, so disheartened.
But guys, they aren't just listening to the CN fandom. This is a response to heavy boycott, a barrage of bad reviews and actual threats. Can you imagine arriving at your workplace to this?
And there are plenty of global fans who were in favour of it too.
I've been playing otome for a decade now and LaDS has been a pleasant surprise with how well made it all is, and how whimsical, so it's really disturbing to see all that love being turned to hurt.
Because no matter what Infold has posted, I'm sure scraping all that work has got to hurt.
And I know that I decided we had different lives to lead
Not sure what it was, I thought I'd found once I was free
But without you beside me, all I can see
Is that nobody knows me like you do
[The Ssum] December 20, 2023, my second birthday with you
Hmm? It’s my birthday again.
It feels like the last one was not that long ago….
Well, I don’t mind.
It’s one of the days I get to spend with you.
That’s more than enough for me.
I get to experience that feeling of you rushing to congratulate me before anyone else does again, too.
Well…. I guess it’s my turn in this conversation then.
Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me.

🦜A reminder from PIU-PIU :>
💬You can unlock Harry’s birthday call and photo memento on December 20 only!
💬Celebratory Study and social media events are open until December 24, 9 AM (KST)!
I'm guessing most people reached Day 117, morning, by now, but I'm keeping it under the tab!
After visiting the carrot lab, Harry gets seeds for carrots, and then...
Day 78, night call
I was told it's totally up to me regarding what kind of carrot will grow from this seed… But what am I supposed to do with it…?
(01) Raise it into a carrot - duh! And don't take any risk.
So you want me to raise this carrot as an ordinary one?
(02) Why don't you raise it like you? Raise it somewhere dark and moist. Hehe…
So you want me to raise this carrot like me?
Do you admit that you're dark and moist?
Yeah. I don't care about it.
(03) You need to raise it strong. Just make sure it won't die.
So you want me to raise this carrot strong?
During Day 85, dinner chat Harry gives an update, but nothing much happened and there's no difference between them. Later, Big Guy gives a better insight into what's happening:
Day 85, night chat:
(01) I tried to treat them plainly... Just like you told me…
(02) I tried to raise them in a moist environment… And I avoided giving them too much love… Just like you told me…
(03) I tried to raise them with less water… And I avoided giving them too much love… Just like you told me…
There's option (04) too: not making the call at all - which triggers this comment from big guy:
I took a lot of care with them. But not too much care.
I did exactly as you told me…
Day 86, dinner chat:
(01) I was told to raise you guys normally but you are very special beings..!
(02) I was told to raise you guys in humid place but let me get you some sunshine..!
(03) I was told not to water you guys until the last moment of your life but that's too brutal so..!
(04) Though I still don't get what he means by raising them with a lot of care, but not too much care!
This is something I can't help but think about. I play Pokémon a bit too much lol
Harry never had a Pokémon before. Not until Piu-Piu, that is.
PIU-PIU is Rotom!
An electric/ghost-type pokémon that:
can invade and control his phone;
can hack other appliances (allegedly);
speaks ~human~;
makes mischief;
but also uses its abilities to help; and
time travels!!!!!!!!!
And look at that face. I can hear it going wee-woo and annoying Harry all the time. Apparently you can also customize your Rotom-phone, so Rosé cover to match Piu-Piu's natural colour.
Also, Rotom's basic move is Thunder Shock / Electric Shock. You know, just like Piu-Piu.
🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕
But Piu-Piu isn't his. They're just following Harry around. His first actual Pokémon is a goldfish he won in the market (D89, lunch chat).
Poseidon is Seaking!
It'd be potentially funnier as a Magikarp, the most underestimated pokémon of all time, but the thing is: Magikarp can evolve. And they become Gyarados.
Poseidon's a goldfish, which Seaking are based on it;
The last on their evolution line (no, she won't grow);
Literally called the King of the Seas! And in the beta games, originally called "Neptune" - a.k.a. Poseidon. A perfect fit.
I especially like corycatte's artwork for Seakings - which features several variants created through breeding.
To fit pokémon canon, I believe Poseidon's fins and/or horn wouldn't be so well developed, since they're the main reason people catch Seakings.
Not that it matters to Harry, anyway.
I don't think he'd want to keep her in a PokéBall, but if he ever had to, it'd be a luxury ball, obviously.
(yes, Harry is swimmer class)
That being said, Harry wouldn't become a trainer, I guess. Battles are a hassle and violent. But maybe he'd use Poseidon's powers to kick people out of his apartment.
🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕
Bonus: "furball" is Lillipup!
He doesn't talk much about it (D73, breakfast), so I'm not settling this, but what screams "furball" more than Lillipup??? It's also a quiet, clever dog, so I imagine baby!Harry would like it. If they stayed together, Lillipup would've been a nice companion and fierce defender...
I especially like the idea of a shiny one, that has lighter fur.
Yamper is second best choice, since it's a dog from Galar (nod to his ancestry). And it likes to follow fast people / things :)
slight revision to this post: just wanted to point out that in pokémon world, instead of saying Harry looks like a cat, it can be said he looks like a TORRACAT!!! Get it?? torrac(choi) is torrac(at)!!!
Harry is Torracat!
The little bugger is a fire type.
Originally a Litten, Pokedéx says:
It doesn't allow its emotions to be easily seen.
Earning its trust takes time.
It prefers solitude.
And once it evolves into a Torracat:
It can act spoiled if it grows close to its Trainer.
Even Harry's way of behaviour towards Malong can be identified in Incineroar's (home) dex entry:
[...] the way it helps out small Pokémon shows that it has a kind side as well.
Ha. Ha.
Won't say it's a perfect fit because it's a violent pokémon, but hey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe that'd bug him even more. Being lumped in with a violent furball.
Turns out it's true that Harry's been as devoted to love as he's been devoted to carrots.
Which reminds me of Mewry's transmission.
Laughing out loud in joy.
Shedding tears of woes.
Confessing your wound.
I think you need courage for all of this.
So far I’ve been a bystander to such phenomena.
But now I want courage to start my own love.
Not all planet transmissions seem to fit well. Specially in the early days, orbiting Cloudi and Burny, they seem to hint at a more stable relationship. Maybe we'll return to these planets later...?
But this time, I reckon it's a perfect fit. Harry's constantly making an effort to show his love (love that goes beyond "romantic love"), but also an effort to acknowledge all sorts of feelings, good and bad, from himself and from others. And not just acknowledge, but really feel them. Just like in planet Mewry, there's a lot of sweat and tears, a complicated but warm signal.
Instead of looking out, at the world, it feels like this time he's looking in, and around him.
I have a lot to say on Harry's selfies, but my favourite moments are actually these: when he'll use his face to fish for attention or make a distraction.
Day 19, breakfast chat
Could you show me your neighborhood, pls? Lol
It's quiet in the morning.
Day 39, dinner chat
Here. For the diary.
The sun is setting… I can't even see onions…
That's not true.
The diary has to be based on the truth.
"Not true", he says, as if the onions are the main subject in the picture.
Day 45, lunch chat > private account
They say people who were born after their parents dreamt about peaches are popular with the other genders!
Huh?
<2 minutes later...>
It kind of bothers me how you seem to be interested in tain….. A bit too much.
This is something I can't help but think about. I play Pokémon a bit too much lol
