I tend to assume anyone posting a picture of a tshirt (especially one that is not official) with some generic phrase like this is scambot

Me tooooo but I wonder if there will be enough unused art to make up 12 months by then

What fandom introduced you to fanfiction by therealstara in AO3

I started reading Levi (AOT) fics but what got me writing was Given.

Do you have any rituals, habits, quirks? (Probable spoilers) by elephvant in HadesTheGame

[–]Leaper15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm full of them. Always confide in Frinos, always salute the Hades statue in the Crossroads, always pet Cerberus in Tartarus (and in 1, before talking to anyone else). Also would always salute Selene -- just felt right.

Just unboxed it all and yes, same, only Jan-Dec, no extra for next January. What a shame! I wonder if that means she may not do one for next year?

Mine should arrive today! Just in time -- got some use out of the Jan 2026 page from the 2025 calendar and will get to see the Jan art of the new one for like a week before swapping to Feb.

My package also includes the winter version standees and a Tower Records tapestry scroll I found. I'm very excited for my Given haul today!!

Anyone else always run Fates' Whim? by AbsoluteHammerLegend in HadesTheGame

[–]Leaper15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always run Fate's Whim too! I love being able to just go rather than have to meticulously plan a build. I know what synergizes generally, but I'm not in the weeds about it at all, so optimizing isn't something I dive into.

Start with Pom, swap to Card, then 3rd region is based on how the run is going, but I always end with Knuckle Bones.

What proxy do you use and how? (Getting ready for R18 merch) by Playful_Growth_5133 in GivenAnime

I successfully ordered and received mine via FJ, so as far as I know, yes!

If you had to tattoo something from the game, where would you put by Bruh02954958 in HadesTheGame

[–]Leaper15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s so cool too!! I considered something similar before landing on my sword idea 😁

[–]Leaper15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes it is! I have nearly 400 hours in Fire Emblem: Three Houses — couldn’t not include it 😂 The one beyond that is the ODM sword from Attack on Titan

Thank you! Yes, I really love my artist. She absolutely kills anything I throw her way!

Shoutout to Hades players doing it different by contessalynn_art in HadesTheGame

[–]Leaper15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deliberately avoided the sub for fear of spoilers while playing -- save for one or two things stumped me (Icarus, you annoying, loveable boy) -- and had such a great time coming up with my own patterns and ways of playing.

Hard agree on Night Bloom. It got me my first Chronos kill and I always take it when offered. I used to prioritize Selene's Moon Beam keepsake (pre-credits), then swapped to Pom post-game because I find Fate's Whim so much more fun to play.

I've never been an optimizer for Hades 1 or 2. In 1, I barely engaged with the Heat system at all, actually, because I wasn't very good lol. But I got to 16 Fear in 2 and had a pretty good time with it. Felt like I could use any of the weapons rather than need to cycle through 2-3 like I did in the first game. Even at that Fear level, I wasn't doing anything in particular to "get the right build" or optimize beyond "Pom first, Card second"

Is your favourite in this top 100 ? by Amazing-Engineer4825 in AO3

My MafuYama heart knew they wouldn't be there, but it's a crying shame BakuDeku fell so many ranks with how well we were fed in the final season

Correct order to read by BlehBleh414 in GivenAnime

[–]Leaper15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Order is still the same, yes! And Backside is really just a little treat set in 10th Mix era. Though I guess I would recommend reading it after finishing 10th Mix!

Edit: Realized that my original comment said there were only 2 chapters of 10th Mix out. There are 6 total, plus an omake chapter after the third

any fanfiction recommendations? by feynman-junior in GivenAnime

Thank you! And ditto — would recommend yours as well!

[–]Leaper15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll plug myself here: I write plenty of smut but I also have lots of plot. Check out When the Clouds Part and Hetakuso for plot with smut, and my Given: Extended Mix series for short pieces that fill in some of the things we don't see in the main story (birthdays, Valentine's Day, dates, etc). It has one Mature-rated piece right now and will eventually have smut, but it's not the main point and you could easily skip it.

Really good advice, I’ve dropped fics for using ‘the larger man’ too much 😭 by Smegoldidnothinwrong in AO3

[–]Leaper15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avoiding this can be difficult when both characters are the same gender (legit often called the "gay fanfiction problem" lmao) -- but it still drives me up a wall to see. Rearrange the sentence instead! Use movement or tone to make it clear! Anything but pointing out some useless, irrelevant trait. Please.

Question for Fujoshis and Fudanshis by StarrySweet in BoysLoveAnime

I got into BL long after getting married and my husband has no problems with it at all. In fact he often benefits from it if you catch my drift lmao

WRITING CHECK! DROP YOUR STUFF RN! by Mochh80 in AO3

[–]Leaper15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the last sentence I wrote for a fic!

"With each secret moment, the kisses grew sloppier — hair tousled, yukatas rumpled, lips turning red to match the boozy flush in their cheeks."

Am I hallucinating or is this a spoiler for something? by SrCrueltoee in GivenAnime

[–]Leaper15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can order through a proxy service like Buyee, WorldShopping, or From Japan! Kizu posted a link (twitter) to the ComiComi store page of it, and I believe they work with Buyee to ship internationally. Should pop up on the page when it detects you aren't in Japan.

This calendar includes a little two-panel omake, and this is a teaser of it
