Also yes I took inspiration for the key thing from @tattle-talk on here, I just saw their submissions while browsing and was like "Hey, that's smart, I should do that."

I'm not copying without reason, I swear LOL

Humiliation Ritual (for @vkinkantation)

Key: Toadal Dude, Arachnus

"Really? Then I have plenty to sate your curiosity, o faithful contributor."

"T-Tsuchi, you don't need to, really!"

"Oh, but it's perfectly alright if you do the same to me?"

*sigh* "Okay, carry on..."

"Hmph. As I was saying, I think it's only fair if I go for one of the really embarrassing ones."

"Hoo boy, here we go..."

"Toad goes into hibernation starting in November, and it is my duty to keep him hydrated during his fleeting hours of consciousness in that time. Over the years, I have found him face down on the restroom floor at least once. Not even remotely close to the toilet, just laying there. Asleep. Again."

"Ain't exactly operating on 100% efficiency when I'm cold..."

"I'm sure you can infer things from there, but that isn't what I'm alluding to."

"Then what are you alluding to if not that???"

"Ohh, you remember that night I found you somehow threw yourself out of our bedroom window and buried yourself in the mud in our front yard? Fully clothed, might I add?"

"...I completely forgot about that."

"Not sure how you could when I spent days trying to handwash those stains out of your kimono."

"...You happy now?"

"Yes. Truce?"

"Truce."

"Good boy."

also do the venocts have to shed? because if they do then DAMN that must be a pain in the ass

Key: Venoct, Shadow, Illuminoct

"Unfortunately, yes... Though it isn't a full body shed, it is exclusively the patches of scales around my neck, wrists and ankles."

"He insists on handling it on his own every single time..."

"Even though he complains that it itches and the only way it's coming off is if he lets it sit exposed so it can dry out."

"Mmrh..."

"Dude, come on, if we can do it so can you."

"I hate being reminded of my scales, I think even you should know that."

"What, you'd rather let Kyubi take care of it for you like everything else?"

"..."

"...Too far?"

"Too far."

"Too far..."

"Sorry."

Yo-kai Watch: Rewinded - AMA!

Behold, internet; the fruits of my labor.

Introducing the official YKW Rewinded askblog provided by yours truly, @m4ndarin-orangez, dedicated to answering YOUR questions about the rewritten storyline featuring the Yo-kai you know and love.

STORY CHANGES:

The storyline is mostly focused on the plot of the main series games (YKW1-3) and the Blasters spinoff. Details from the anime have been included here, but it's a lot more nitpicky.

Nate and Katie are both active watch bearers, with Katie having all 3 of the Yo-kai she was seen using in EP067, among others. Hailey Ann is still present, just a later addition.

YKW3 will be facing a MASSIVE overhaul story-wise, with a lot of Yo-kai being purged from the medallium to make room for Fan-kai better suited for the region its main plot takes place in.

The lore behind both the Divine Paradise and Infinite Inferno has been expanded, and both are now considered separate realms from the Yo-kai World.

CHARACTER CHANGES:

The main trio are no longer one-note with maybe 2 heartfelt moments a season.

Kyubi and Manjimutt have been cleansed of... whatever the fuck the writers were doing. (No seriously, who approved this shit.)

Venoct, as well as the other Elite Yo-kai (Blizzaria, Everfore, Beetall, Beelzebold, etc.), are much more prominent and reoccurring characters, befitting Yo-kai of their status.

McKraken and Lucas are reoccurring characters contrary to their existence being all but voided in the anime.

Arachnus and Toadal Dude are a lot more prevelent after the YKW2 plotline, are canonically married (and have been for hundreds of years), and have stopped their petty squabbling as part of their promise to Nathaniel and Kenny.

Everyone is gay. Straight up. Like, that's not even me being satirical. (Note: the author operates on the "bisexual until proven otherwise" mentality, so good luck trying to prove me wrong. [/lh])

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Some Yo-kai will have their English/Japanese names used interchangeably, either due to personal biases ('Murica) or preference (God I hate what was taken from us in the localization of YKW2), but they will be tagged according to their English name first.

Lesser-known Yo-kai will be at the bottom of the priority bracket due to me just... not conceptualizing anything for them yet. I don't like to keep people waiting, but sometimes the brain just doesn't brain.

Prompts will sometimes be delayed because my co-author (oomfie @tatonslice) still needs time to finish working on the artpiece(s) needed for them. Some things are best depicted in drawn form, no?

So then, how about the rules for the askblog?

RULES:

Try to keep asks as PG as possible. (Well folks, looks like the censors ARE gonna kill me!)

One ask per topic. (The blog isn't active enough to warrant a restriction on how many asks can be submitted, so go nuts.)

Yo-kai groups (Song Medals, Yo-kai Circles, etc.) can get group asks.

No shipping discourse. (The only ship canon to Rewinded as of its current progress is Tsuchigama [Arachnus/Toadal Dude], everyone else is single or undisclosed.)

As of right now, please refrain from asking about anything regarding YKW3 or any of its cast. (This rule will likely be deleted sometime later.)

Do not spam my fucking inbox with the same questions over and over, you will be blocked.

i am told that a sleeping ōgama, in its true form, is rather easy to mistake for a Very Large Rock.

i cannot imagine attempting to sit on a sleeping ōgama is a good idea. nor would it be pleasant for either party involved.

Key: Toadal Dude

"See, the issue is I legit just look like a mossy rock in my true form, the mottling just makes it harder to tell the difference. The haori used to serve more than one function way back then. Y'know, keepin' up the looks 'n all that jazz, but it doubles as a warning; like, "Yo, I'm not a rock." It didn't do much, but it kinda helped... sometimes."

...

"Nobody was hurt, I swear."

something i recently learned: adult frogs, much like cats, are not able to taste sugar (as far as i can tell from my research)

is this why toad doesn't like juice? does it just make his brain throw an error 404?

Key: Toadal Dude, Jibanyan (inserted himself again)

"Somethin' like that? It's more that my sweet tooth's real sensitive, so I can only tolerate so much of it at once."

"Being able to taste my beloved Chocobars in all their glory has been the best part about bein' a Yo-kai... To think Mother Nature would keep this from me until nyow."

"...Dude, get your own questions."

"What? I'm a cat, they mentioned cats, I'm relevant!"

The "Bullfrog War Cry" video.

Key: Enma the Ancient, Toadal Dude

Meanwhile, sometime 1,000 years ago...

Enma: *picks up Toad*

Toad: *angrily puffs up*

Enma: ...Oh, do your warcry again.

Toad: rHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEhhh-

Enma: Thank you.

(OOC note: for @vkinkantation, Tumblr being Tumblr didn't tell me which blog your ask was sent to and proceeded to delete the fucking message from my inbox when I went to double check.)

how are things going with rhyth and the rest of the trio?

(oh ok seaweed trio literally never seen one for them until now)

Key: Wiglin, Steppa, Rhyth

"Heh, um... funny you should ask, we uhh... haven't heard from Rhyth in, like, a week? I think? She's been skippin' practice on and off for a while now, but this is the first time she's ghosted us."

"You don't think it has anything to do with our bickerin', do ya?"

"It might, she did say it was gettin' on her nerves..."

"We wanna give her another couple days, see if she'll come back on her own?"

"Maybe. Give her time, give her space, whenever she's ready. The Dancing Trio never parts for long, after all!"

(who's gonna tell 'em)

elsewhere

"When you hear a million admissions of love a day from your only two guy friends, you really start to lose your sense of purpose. For the record, I've been crashing with our sensei for the last week, since he's the only person I can realistically trust the advice of. I'll... figure it out eventually, but right now I'm avoiding those two like the plague."
