How to the rest of the dorms feel of Yuu going home?

[^made by me^]

thx for the question anon !!<3

heres everyone's reaction to Yuu going home !! i didn't know if you were talking about the housewardens or just EVERYONE. and since im bored i made everyone soooooo yeah ♡

~

Heartslabyul 🌹

Everyone insists they're "happy" for Yuu... but no one is taking it well.

Ace keeps making jokes because if he stops joking, he'll probably cry.

Deuce promises they'll meet again somehow, even if he has to become "the first honor student to invent dimension travel."

Cater scrolls through his camera roll and realize Yuu's in none of them. They had always been the one taking pictures.

Trey packs snacks for them, saying they'll probably miss Night Raven College food.

Riddle prepares a proper farewell tea party according to every rule in the Queen's regulations... but halfway through he pauses because he realizes this is goodbye.

Before Yuu leaves, Riddle thanks them sincerely.

"You changed more than just this dorm."

Ace ends up crying anyway btw.

Savanaclaw 💪

They all pretend it isn't a big deal.

It absolutely is.

Jack walks Yuu to the mirror in silence.

He eventually says:

"Come back if you can."

Ruggie grumbles about losing someone who always shared food, even tho its more than that.

He secretly slips lucky charms into Yuu's bag.

Leona acts like he's asleep during the farewell. He just wouldn't be able to let them go, wouldn't be able to say goodbye.

After Yuu leaves...

Leona asks,

"...They gone?"

When someone nods...

"...Tch."

He sleeps the rest of the day, and the days following.

No one mentions his ears were down.

Octavinelle 🐚

Azul immediately begins researching ways to reopen dimensional travel, totally for business reasons. I mean, if Yuu's world were to be accessible, he'd get more customers....That's all he cares about...Totally.

Floyd dramatically clings to Yuu.

"Shriiimppppy! You can't leave!"

Jade smiles politely.

His eyes absolutely are not smiling.

Azul actually tears up while trying very hard not to.

He gives Yuu one final contract.

The contract simply says:

"Should our worlds ever reconnect, you are guaranteed lifelong hospitality at the Mostro Lounge."

Not a single shady outcome, just friendship.

Scarabia ☀️

Kalim throws a goodbye celebration that somehow includes half the school.

Nobody has fun.

Everyone is crying.

Kalim hugs Yuu about fifty times.

Jamil helps pack everything neatly.

When no one's looking...

Jamil quietly says,

"Take care of yourself."

It's probably the softest thing anyone's ever heard him say.

Kalim cries so much Yuu almost misses the portal because they're comforting him.

Pomefiore 👑

Vil insists Yuu leave looking perfect.

New outfit.

Hair fixed.

No arguments.

Stuff everyone could've offered them long ago, but they've all abused of their kindness instead without returning the ounce of kindness.

"Your first impression back home matters."

Rook somehow turns the farewell into poetry.

He's crying while complimenting the beauty of fleeting encounters.

Epel keeps trying not to cry.

Fails immediately, he cries out ugly, Vil can't even scold him.

After Yuu disappears..

Vil waits until everyone leaves before allowing himself one quiet moment to grieve.

Ignihyde 💀

Idia prepared for this, emotionally AND mentally. He's watched animes !

He still blue screens.

Ortho gives Yuu a tiny device.

"It won't work in another universe... but maybe it'll remind you of us."

Idia refuses to attend the farewell.

When Yuu reaches the mirror...

A message suddenly appears on their phone.

"GG, Prefect. Thanks for clearing this impossible game.

Hope your next world has better tutorials."

Diasomnia 🐉

Nobody takes it well, especially not Malleus.

Sebek loudly declares Yuu deserves a royal sendoff.

Silver quietly gives Yuu a flower some animals brought him.

Lilia smiles the whole time.

Which somehow makes it hurt even more.

Malleus asks:

"...Must you go?"

Yuu explains they have family waiting, a home.

A place they haven't seen in so long.

Malleus understands.

He just doesn't like it.

Before Yuu steps through...

He gently takes their hand.

"You gave me a place in your story.

...Thank you."

It's the first time everyone hears genuine loneliness in the future king's voice.

Ramshackle 👻

Grim refuses to believe it's happening.

"We'll just find another way! Henchhuman isn't leaving!"

Until the portal in the mirror actually opens.

Then reality hits.

He tackles Yuu into the biggest hug imaginable.

"You're my henchhuman!"

"Who's gonna yell at me now?!"

"Who's gonna buy me tuna?!"

Yuu promises they'll never forget him as Grim sobs.

The professors have to gently pull him away.

As Yuu disappears into the light...

The last thing they hear is:

"YOU BETTER NOT FORGET ME!"

[hanafubukki]

Thinking about Tanabata and Twst

Where you were able to return home and can't see the boys anymore.

But during one day in the year, you can meet each other again.

A portal opens wherever you may be, and through it, a hand reaches for you.

You are reunited with your loved ones once again for a day.

Their dearest star from another world.

[sergle]

are you guys hearing about this dude working to developing a vaccine for cats that he's hoping would like. theoretically double their lifespans?

[sergle]

turns out i wasn't making that up, his name is Dr. Toru Miyazaki! he also wrote a book called "The Day Cats Live To Be Thirty", so cats are kind of his thing.

apparently, cats' kidneys tend to be the thing that takes them down, something about their bodies being unable to self-clean their kidneys, and the vaccine is supposed revitalize the body's ability to do just that. It would be very VERY fucking cool to have cats suddenly reaching 30 years of age be the normal thing.

Could the macrophage-derived protein AIM save cats from kidney disease?

As they age, almost all cats develop kidney disease, from which they eventually die. Just as in humans, kidney disease i

[moki-dokie]

whoa wait i actually read the articles and it's so much cooler than just that!!

dude cracked the case about WHY kidneys fail, across the board as far as i can tell. turns out there's a specific molecule whose job it is to attach to waste and signal macrophages to come eat it. it remains inactive in cats for some reason, but the molecule is still there. basically what he's done is found the switch to activate them. this will be profound not only for our domestic babies, but for big cats too - especially cheetahs!

although his research was focused on cats, it's already being used to develop drugs for humans too!

on top of that, since these molecules are tags for waste, this could also dramatically lower the rate of fatty liver disease, liver cancer, urinary crystals, rheumatoid arthritis, and even some neurological cases! like, they're hoping it may have an impact on parkinson's and alzheimers, but it DOES have an impact on stroke recovery. like. holy shit.

furthermore, he's insisting that the feline drug be affordable if and when it rolls out onto the market. he wants this to be something anyone can get for their cat!! idk how much sway he'll have over the human drug, but hopefully enough that it, too, won't be that expensive.

annnnnd in his research that he's still doing for the human side of things, he's found a potential link between this molecule and estrogen. in the 20,000 samples he's tested, women between ages 10 and 29 had the highest amount of this molecule present in their blood (a higher amount means Something Fucky is going on, essentially. There's a higher amount of waste the body is trying to clean out) but it drops down to be almost equal amongst men and women after menopause. it hasn't been looked into yet, but fuck, just the fact it's noted and known and probably WILL be looked into soon??? imagine if this is what leads to figuring out all the various ways the ovaries and uterus fucks with people and how to fix it. or even like, maybe there's something about estrogen that makes it work better. who knows! but it's rad the link is there to be researched :D

man just think, not only could our kitties start living longer, healthier lives, but just maybe dialysis will become as rare and obsolete as the iron lung is for people. what a badass Dr. Toru is!

so supposedly, disney jp is releasing a new game, and some fans are thinking disneys gonna put all their focus/creativity into this new game instead.. but you don’t think twst is gonna get replaced/end because of this, right?.. :(

[ More news about Sparklink Stars here!

My personal thoughts + warnings about coly inc. and AI usage here. Just be aware that this doesn’t necessarily mean they will use generative AI for the final illustrations. ]

That’s just unsubstantiated doomposting and we shouldn’t pay it any mind, especially when the game hasn’t come out yet and doesn’t have any figures to prove its success. For all we know, Sparklink Stars (hereby referred to as Spalik) could be a financial flop and go under a few months or years into service 😭 Twst JP is still consistently pulling in 3-4 million USD per month, so there’s no reason to believe revenue would take a sharp hit and end and/or be replaced out of the blue.

There is little to suggest that Spalik will consume the Twst fandom. The early marketing is extremely different, with Twst having dark, almost gothic vibes and a focus on villains, whereas Spalik is more ethereal and positive with all its talk of hopes, dreams, wishes, and light. The two complement one another; they’re not competition. They may both attract fans of anime pretty boys and/or Disney, but they’ll only stay in the long term for something that truly resonates with them. Some people like the dark stuff, others will like the light stuff, and some will like both. There is no shame in that. Lots of other things could be different between the games: design, music, gameplay, themes, and more. The one big thing they have in common is that both borrow from Disney IPs, and I’d argue the library is so vast and so open for interpretation that there would be differences in the Twst and Spalik characters inspired by the same Disney source. Plus, Spalik had Pixard licensing and Twst lacks this.

It has been stated that Spalik will be developed such that it will not compete with Twst. Two entirely different teams are working on each project. Their own coders, musicians, designers, artists, etc. They work independent of one another, their budgets are separate, etc. How can one team “take” the focus and creativity from the other when they aren’t related at all??? It’s not like Yana will be forced to design for both games and has to devote more energy and time to the newest one to get it off the ground, thereby leaving Twst to languish 😭 In fact, Spalik Stars was apparently trademarked the same year Twst launched (2020), meaning they were able to put out 6+ years of Twst content while another team worked on building Spalik. There’s already proof multiple projects can be worked on at the same time.

Think about it; Disney is usually working on multiple animated projects or even live action projects at once. The projects don’t consume one another, leaving only a single show or movie standing. Why wouldn’t this also be the case for their mobile game projects? Disney has also got plenty of those.

There's also the fact that Spalik is currently facing backlash from a portion of potential fans due to coly inc. being very pro-AI and admitting to using AI in the production process, whereas Twst seems to be entirely or mostly human-made. That's for sure going to keep some fans loyal to Twst.

We need to stop automatically thinking of the worst possible outcome every time news comes out. News is supposed to be exciting, not a foreboding prophecy about the End Times 💀 I’m not sure when or why fandom started to adapt the least charitable stances in response to any announcement, but it’s saddening to see.

Is coly using generative AI on Sparklink Stars?

So I came across this twitter post about coly inc., the company creating Sparklink Stars, is using AI. And I see many people are frustrated about it

I was also worried about this AI stuff, so I got to do some research if this was true. Here are the things I found

Note: This is not saying that coly inc. is 100% innocent, it's just a confirmation about their statement on AI

Summary: They do use AI, but it's not sure if it's generative AI or not

First off, it is true that coly inc. specified they are using AI as their business. This is what the English website said. Additionally, in the Japanese website, there is more explanation about how they are using AI

(Note: This is machine translation made with Papago)

AI技術をはじめとした最新テクノロジーの動向や、エンターテインメント市場の変化を常にキャッチし、積極的に研究・検証を行っています。前提として人間が持つ個性や感性・技術力を大切にしながら、最新技術の知見を活かした、新たなビジネスモデルやサービスの開発も推進。既存事業の成長のみならず、時代の変化に即した新規事業の創出にも取り組んでいます。

We are actively researching and verifying the latest technology trends, including AI technology, and changes in the entertainment market. While cherishing the individuality, sensitivity and technological capabilities of human beings as a prerequisite, we also promote the development of new business models and services utilizing the knowledge of the latest technologies. In addition to the growth of existing businesses, we are also working to create new businesses in line with the changing times.

While it says that they are actively researching AI, it also states that they cherish the human individuality and technology. As generative AI is controversial due to the use of creativity, it sounds quite ambiguous to me. Are they talking about the generative AI issue, or not?

It does seem that they are using AI for game developments, as seen from their presentation in coly inc.'s archieves. According to the map the new AI business will be used for games, developing multiplatforms, and consumers

Back to the twitter post, the 3rd image specifies about AI being used for generative ideas. This was in the interview with coly inc.. I found what the original article was, and it seems it was based on one of the posts from the archieves. Basically it's an interview about how coly inc. will be developing their IP. One AI related statement is this

(Note: While also translated by Papago, I made some adjustments in some words)

また、AIでIPを大量生産できる時代がすぐ目の前に来ております。その中でIPの価値について考えた時に、長い歴史があること、すなわち、時間的差分はとても重要だと認識しております。 これまで開発してきたIPを大切に、あらゆる可能性を模索しながら、今後もIP価値の最大化に資する選択肢を幅広く検討してまいります。

Also, the era of mass production of IP with AI is just around the corner. Considering about the value of IP, we understand that having a long history, that is, the time difference is very important. We value the IP that we have developed so far, and while exploring all possibilities, we will continue to explore a wide range of options that will contribute to maximizing IP value.

So coly inc. knows how AI is becoming powerful, and that it could easily make stuff. With the other statement above, it seems that coly inc. is developing in AI due to the latest change in technology and trend. Despite that they also state they value the long history of IP

There is also a question asking: What are the specific benefits of using AI at this time? Also, is there a risk avoidance system in place for AI utilization, including copyright issues?

coly inc.'s answer is as the following bellow

AIについては、開発・運営の効率化やアイデア出し、制作工程の支援など、様々な領域で活用を進めております。 また、各社がAIを活用する中で、IPの価値は、AIを活用した上での丁寧でリッチな作り込みやお客様の心に刺さり続けるものをお届けできるかどうかという部分の競争になります。 引き続き、AIを活用しては、安全に配慮しながら効率的な開発体制を築きながらも、クオリティに 関しては妥協なく突き詰めてまいります。

AI is being utilized in various areas such as improving the efficiency of development and operation, developing ideas, and supporting the production process. In addition, as each company utilizes AI, the value of IP is a competition in terms of polite and rich fabrication using AI and whether it can deliver something that continues to sting customers. We will continue to utilize AI to build an efficient development system while considering safety, but to improve the quality. We will make no compromise on this matter.

Conclusion: It is true that coly inc. plans in using AI, likely due to the changes in the gaming industry and the technology of AI. However, it's not clear if this AI means generative AI. Therefore, we'll have to see what this AI is

About this risk avoidance and copyright, I'm pretty sure the question is about generative AI. coly inc. does answer that they will consider safety in using AI though. Still, it's not clear if this mean that generative AI will not be used

About AI generating ideas, this can be seen ambiguous. Maybe it can mean AI making creative things, or just humans getting ideas while using them. So it's not clear what they are saying about generating ideas

In a different universe, I would have liked to own a nice double-wide mobile home somewhere off the grid. The animals would be my only friends, and I would still have my cats with me. And if I ever had to leave to run an errand or visit my folks, I’d probably get there in an autocycle.
