The Apothecary Diaries 3.1, episode 2

This week, Maomao profits from solving a small mystery before being reunited with Jinshi for both serious business and serious teasing. She really is concerned with his health, but she knows him well enough to know exactly how it would go. Slipping him an aphrodesiac, offering him fresh virgins, and then asking what his type is? Poor Gaoshun almost wore a hole in the wall banging his forehead against it.

(related, the Xiaolan’s Story spinoff manga is crap; it should be titled Xiaolan’s Point Of View During Scenes You Should Have Bookmarked In The Main Series Or You’ll Never Recognize Most Of Them. Apart from the framing device, it really has no story of its own to tell)

Wild Last Boss 2, episode 3

Psychotic Bikini Lesbian Minion, acquired. Cute L’il Devil Gal, rescued by Handsome Devil Prince. More secrets, casually revealed. Plot, stirred.

Verdict: still looking good.

(unrelated sashimi hunter is the result of some tests with the new Prompt Enhancer extension to SwarmUI, which uses the text-encoder models to expand prompts creatively without the overhead of completely unloading the image-generation model and launching a separate LLM instance; Krea 2 Turbo’s text encoder is overcensored, even though the images are not, but even subbing in a fairly large model works well because the swapping is handled intelligently within the same engine)

Vortex Farce, episode 2

The premise of the story is quickly recapped at the start, including Big Sister’s introductory crotch shot. Then we get to meet two of The Promised Grown-Up Babes, with frequent-but-subtle bouncing. Following tradition, they must battle before becoming allies. Also, Mom is Best Girl.

Verdict: there’s no artifice here, no pretense; it’s delivering exactly what it promises.

(picture is unrelated but thematically appropriate)

Isekai Kinky Porn Game Cheat Harem, episode 3

This is setting out to be the glorious trash of the season. The previews had me worried that they might tone down the ecchi, but this episode puts all such fears to rest, with two of Our Premium Haremettes coaxed into tiny string bikinis and forced into a sexy-pose penalty game. After already getting one of them into clingy translucent wet clothes and the other into a porny magic transfer that’s borderline sexual assault.

Verdict: faithful to the source! Poor Ludie says, “just this once”, but I’ve got news for you, gal, your innocence will die by inches.

(another experiment, this time from feeding my old Anime Things lyrics into the Prompt Enhancer extension; this was also the source of the previous image)

MP Repo Fairy MP, episode 2

This week, lessons in budgeting, contract negotiation, and predatory lending. Seriously, that’s the episode, plus some cleavage.

Verdict: it’s like the Spice & Wolf of trashy fan-service comedies.

Took them long enough…

Kino’s Journey novels licensed for US release. IIRC, the first one was briefly licensed long ago, but they never released any of the others. Now, if they managed to pick up Gakuen Kino as part of the deal…

The truth about Malfoid…

Makes perfect sense to me.

A taste of freedom…

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives, and Other Toys For Good Girls And Boys has now officially removed SBRs, SBSs, AOWs, and Hearing Safety Devices from NFA34. GCA68 still applies.

To unpack that, rifles and shotguns with short barrels are no longer federal felonies, and you can freely purchase and use suppressors (“silencers”). State laws still vary, so they’re maintaining the legacy federal registration system for states that explicitly require it.

There was already a run on the market after the court decision, but this is going to take it to the next level. Now, where did I put that FN PS90…

(bonus! “Malfoid And The Little Shop Of Horcruxes”)
