hello everyone! i'm ruby sweetpea-sprite. i post about ni no kuni a lot!
technically, i have a main in @demi-panoramic, but i never post there anymore (though i do follow and like from there). this is where i'm most active! i'm a ni no kuni blog, but have recently started branching out to other level 5 titles (mainly inazuma eleven)
i tag character names and ships (for certain characters with multiple names i use their "true" names, i.e. lucien instead of shadar (sometimes i forget.); for characters with jp names i use their most commonly used name, i.e. kisoji over heita, but unmei over sasanami), mainly for scrolling-through-my-own-blog purposes. i also have a handful of extra catch-all tags (including #familiars for creatures/familiars and #citizens for nnk2 citizens)
my personal tags include:
#rambles: my talking tag! for posting whatever comes to mind
#ruby's art: art tag for all my wonderful images and writing. i should have a separate writing tag but i don't
#modding: frolicking through wotww's files like they're a wildflower field ignoring the one million pieces of shrapnel level 5 left in there
#ina11: ⚽⚽⚽⚽ FOOTBALL YAOI ATTACK ⚽⚽⚽⚽
some more about me under the cut if you're interested:
ni no kuni
i do a lot of stuff for ni no kuni. i draw and write. i run the modding wiki. i make kind-of-bad modding tools. i datamine. i speedrun occasionally. if you need a file extracted or are trying to look for something please please please let me know i will get it for you in the best quality i can it's enrichment for me i love doing this
i have ~1,300 hours in wrath of the white witch, notably a linear jrpg, spread across different consoles + pc. it is my favourite game in the world ever. i also really like dotdd - though i prefer wotww's gameplay, dotdd's story wins out for me. i tag dotdd spoilers as #dotdd spoilers
favourites i go crazy for:
oliver and drippy have my favourite relationship in anything ever they drive me CRAZY. i have a tag specifically for them.
oliver's gayass rival from dotdd was the only thing i drew for like two years at one point
dotdd's second/true ending in general
oliver in general. he's my sweet cheese. my baby boy. my silly rabbit
however: drippy is my favourite character in anything ever. please be nice to him
i'm underselling my nicky obsession it was-slash-is really really bad
i also make bots! i currently have @nnkdrippybot, @nnkolliebot, and @over-hills. my three wonderful children. i have another on the way for specifically oliver and drippy but truthfully i work on it when the fixation takes me
ni no kuni 2
i get random bursts of ni no kuni 2 energy very rarely. sometimes i get mad about it. sometimes i'm normal. my favourite character is leander. i think roland should be worse. to be real the main thing i think about for ni no kuni 2 is still drippy, somehow
i have a handful of nnk2-based projects floating in the background. maybe one day one of them will come to light...
cross worlds
...despite everything i do still play cross worlds. i enjoy the story and some of the lore it introduces. i have not spent a single penny on this game. only my valuable time. truly i don't think it's surviving 2026. if, for some godforsaken reason, you play too, i'm on EU server violet jupiter as swtpeasprite
the inazuma eleven corner
i played inazuma eleven victory road on launch day having never played an inazuma game before for no discernable reason and it made me crazy. right now i'm fixating on it bad. i have only played victory road (and only played story mode so far because i don't wanna play chronicle and get spoiled...) but am sloooowly working my way through the anime. my favourites:
i cannot tell you how fast unmei became one of my favourite characters of all time i'm talking 20 minutes into the game max
[shaking normal style] Haru.
you'll never believe this but i'm a big sasaharu fan
i also really like kisoji and soramiya. i promise. they're in the back of my mind forever
you can actually see the fixation generating in real time if you go to the start of my ina11 tag
level 5 in general
i have a parasocial love-hate relationship with akihiro hino ceo of level 5. in other news i've also played fantasy life/i though i'm not in any kind of fandom spaces about it and i'm wanting to play other level 5 franchises at some point. right now i have my eye on professor layton (i've played curious village and some of diabolical box), yokai watch, and dark cloud. i'm planning on buying decapolice... whenever that comes out. one day i'll be a true level 5 head

that's all i think. thank you for reading this far. here is a small selection of images
number one thing i appreciate about yo-kai watch 4 is that they've updated almost all of the sounds and the music to higher quality for the switch and it's lovely and beautiful and i really like the new uptown springdale songs in particular but ☝️ they are still using the same fucking slightly crunchy door open sound effect that they not only used in the 3ds yo-kai watch games but also both ni no kuni 1 games. and they thought i wouldn't notice!
i was kinda worried i wouldn't be able to keep a daily queue going for doodles but i've actually added to it three times today without thinking about it. so that's nice
in an effort to get myself to draw more i've been considering making some kind of daily doodles blog to hold myself accountable to it. i imagine next to none of it would be high quality but like. level 5 daily doodles... OR maybe i'll just use this blog. but i feel like it might make my tags crowded...

sonozaki airu's ghost does haunt haru in a metaphorical sense but i think if he haunted unmei in a literal sense it would be so fun. unmei doesn't even believe in ghosts and every time he goes to sleep there's this kid he's never before seen in his life holding a soccer ball and standing there. sometimes he's covered in blood and glass shards. perfectly normal recurring dream to have surely.
it's so cute that in a meta sense they are demonstrating synergy as they talk about it! unmei being here assisting haru's video game team Would give them a synergy boost! :D friendship is so cool
In the Japanese version, Roland is pronounced 'Rouran,' which is slightly different from the typical translation 'Roran.' But Roland's concept art looks like a knight, right? So he must be Roland! …Wait, maybe that doesn't make sense…
