Santa ENGstars' 10-pull ticket netted me 2 5-stars! Not only is this my favorite Leo unbloomed, it was also the last copy I needed for his SCR MV outfit ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧
Screen capture from Ensemble Stars!! Music showing I've just pulled a copy of Tsukinaga Leo's "The Unfettered Tiger" 5-star. Leo, a short orange-haired idol with green eyes, is standing in a snowy urban landscape, backed up against fellow idol Adonis Otogari, who is taller and is whose face is half cropped out by the top of the frame. Leo has pulled Adonis's green jacket around him. Screen capture from Ensemble Stars!! Music showing I've just pulled a copy of Izumi Sena's "Fairy of the Morning Mist" card. Sena, a gray-haired idol with warm blue eyes, stands pointing at the viewer with a large duffel bag slung over his right shoulder. Behind him is what looks like an airport terminal with large windows. Screen capture from Ensemble Stars!! Music's MV fitting room. Orange-haired Idol Leo Tsukinaga stands with his hands on his hips in front of a wall covered with patterned wallpaper and a yellow sofa. He wears a long-sleeved wrap jacket and pants, both white, with the jacket having yellow and navy floral patterns and trim. Over his left shoulder is a tiger pelt that drapes over his back.

Wild to be finishing this just after the election. (Good book!)
Cover of the audiobook edition of The Gods of New York by Jonathan Mahler. The cover shows tightly-packed skyscrapers in midtown Manhattan, presumably circa 1986-1990, with the Pan Am Building (now the MetLife Building) near the center and the Chrysler Building at the far right, and buildings stretching out toward the horizon. The title appears in large, blocky yellow letters with a reddish-orange drop shadow.

Cover art of the Double Face TRIP album as seen in the Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars) mobile game. Mikejima Madara and Kohaku Ohkawa, wearing dark suits, are posed together at the center of the screen. Kohaku tugs at the ring on Madara's zipper pull, while both Madara's arms are stretched out as if the pair are in a small, cube-shaped box and he's pressing against the sides.

Oh, this is fun! I like this!
White t-shirt with a teardrop design in the center. The teardrop is made up of many small images of the character Woodstock from Peanuts, with one Woodstock flying away from the rest. Below the teardrop is the text "A little goes a long way. Give blood." One of the t-shirt sleeves is folded over slightly to show the American Red Cross logo. Close up of the teardrop design from the previous photo. The teardrop is made up of many small images of the character Woodstock from Peanuts, with one Woodstock flying away from the rest. Below the teardrop is the text "A little goes a long way. Give blood."

Happy Double Face 5th Anniversary, Last Mission on EN ヽ(；▽；)ノ
View of my current Office in Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars), decorated to celebrate Double Face's 5th anniversary and the "Last Mission" event starting on the English server. The primary feature is a pair of Double Face chibi plushes seated on a round white carpet under a blooming sakura tree, showering petals on the plushes. The rest of the office is decorated to suggest a nighttime cityscape, dominated by warm red browns and oranges, orange and yellow flowers, and small brick accent walls. Fireworks are visible in the background.

I AM GOING INTO THIS EVENT LOADED FOR BEAR (BISON) THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN
Scouting results screen in Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars) showing a 10-pull. Of note, in the bottom right corner is Mayoi Ayase's Flash 5-star "Phantom of Midnight," and a bar on the card indicates this is the 4th copy obtained. From Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars), the Bloomed art of Mayoi Ayase's Flash 5-star "Phantom of Midnight." Mayoi's unbraided hair drifts around him as he stands surrounded by bluish-white lotuses and glowing orange lanterns. Mayoi is smiling calmly as he looks up at the viewer, and his voluminous flowing sleeves and wrap contribute to the flowing effect of the art.

Screen shot from Ensemble Stars!! Music showing the Looping Odyssey minigame currently in progress on the English server. An array of fantasy-inspired icons including armor, potions, bread, and gems fill every square of a seven by five array. The array appears against a teal background. On either side of the array are small windows detailing orders I can complete for certain amounts of points, how many points I need to earn to get the next reward, and so on. A chibi sprite of Tetora Nagumo appears in the upper left hand corner.

...huh. Gunpla at Michael's. Well, it is a craft...
Photograph taken in a Michael's craft store showing an end cap display at the end of an aisle. On six white metal shelves, there are nine colorful boxes depicting various Gundam robots, mostly from Gundam Wing, including Epyon, Deathscythe, and Shenlong. On either side of the end cap display, the contents of the aisles are visible, although difficult to make out.

mentally I am here
Screenshot from Fafner in the Azure: THE BEYOND episode 7. The Fafner Mark Alles hovers over the ocean, which reflects the dark blue sky, full of puffy cotton ball clouds. Mark Alles is centered in the shot, but viewed from such a distance that the mecha is proportionally very small, and few of its features are visible. It is clear that one arm is raised straight up, and yellow-green energy is visible around both the upraised arm and the other, which hangs at the mecha's side.

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky
Looping GIF from Gundam: Ironblooded Orphans showing an extremely simplified version of the character Atra Mixta running. (It is worth noting that this is an extremely cropped version of a shot in which Atra was not the focus of the shot and just coming into view. In the subsequent shot, where Atra is the focus, she appears with the usual level of detail.)

...I don't want to think about how long we've had Animal Square & I just now figured out you can put idols in it too.
Screen capture from Ensemble Stars (Enstars) Animal Square area showing five idols (Kohaku, Adonis, Souma, Tetora, and Hajime) playing with the animal characters (two dogs, a dove, a rabbit, and a penguin). The square is shown from slightly above, with all characters and objects rendered in a chibi style. The square is fenced in by banners and flower planters, and the floor is bedecked with a variety of colorful rugs. Several chairs in varying styles are visible, along with an aquarium and some planters.

Yaaaay all of them finally ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Screengrab from Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars) showing the five members of Ryuseitai performing "Ryusei Hanabi." All wear the "Blooming Idol Outfit," a princely white suit with navy accents at the waist, cuffs, and shin, and gold trim. The outfit features a waist-length half-capelet over the right shoulder, and a tailcoat with skirt that ends just below the calf, with a sparkling blue ombre lining that suggests the night sky. Screengrab from Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars) showing the five members of Ryuseitai performing "Ryusei Hanabi." The five members stand in a single-file line facing away from the camera, dancing energetically as fireworks explode in the night sky. Screengrab from Ensemble Stars!!

I FINALLY GOT A KOGA -- & IT WAS A ONE-PULL FROM ONE OF THE FREE CROSSROADS TICKETS ヽ(；▽；)ノ
Screen capture from Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars) showing that I've just pulled a copy of Ogami Koga's 5-star card "Conformity Breaker." The card art displayed shows a low-angle shot of Koga about to press a large red button mounted on a white pedestal, like the kind sometimes seen in gameshows. Koga is wearing the green Yumenosaki track suit, with the jacket open over a white t-shirt. He is grinning and looking triumphantly over his shoulder, with the blue sky behind him.

Finally - the email I've been waiting for all year, LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
Image of a two gray backpack coolers with an American Red Cross logo. The backpacks have red zippers and zipper pulls. The backpack on the left is closed, while the backpack on the right is open at the top and filled with food to give a sense of the backpack's capacity. We can see an orange, an apple, a banana, a pair of bottles, and a square reusable container at the top, suggesting that while the backpack is compact, it can carry a fair amount of food. Below the bags is a two-line caption. The top line, in red, reads "Backpack Cooler." The second line, in dark gray, reads "800 points."

GIVE HIM MORE MV OUTFITS WITH THINGS IN HIS HAIR
Screen capture from Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars) showing Mikejima Madara in the Music Video outfit try-on room, wearing the Secret Color (SCR) version of his "Hello New Year" outfit. Like the original version, this features a kimono with voluminous sleeves worn open over a low-cut shirt and wide-legged pants, festooned with flower ornaments, tassels, and cords. The kimono is patterned with cords, and has a wide ribbon laced down one side. The SCR version flips the original's coloring, with the kimono in green and the pants off-white, with a gold ombre effect below the knees. Madara stands in one of his standard MV try-on poses, with one foot slightly forward, one hand raised and held open near his face, and the other arm tucked to his side. Rear view of Mikejima Madara in the Ensemble Stars!! (Enstars) music video try-on room, showing some details of the back of his "Hello New Year" outfit. In particular, we can see the hair ornament wrapped around his ponytail, a series of gold and blue metallic loops reminiscent of mizuhiki decorative knots (I think). Front view of Mikejima Madara in the Ensemble Stars (Enstars) music video outfit try-on room, a close-up showing some of the details of his outfit. In particular, we can see he's wearing two necklaces with beads and tassels, and the tasseled flower ornaments on the front of his kimono. The flowers are dark blue with five large, round petals. Close-up view of Mikejima Madara's feet in his "Hello New Year" outfit in the Ensemble Stars!! Music (Enstars) music video outfit try-on room. We can see that his wide-legged pants have a center split around mid-shin, showing his dark boots, accented by red bows and green beads.
