Hey everyone! We're down to the last few days of anniversary posts, but we've still got time for fun and games, like today's:

Ani-musement Parks!

( Get to the Point! )

Like the other anniversary posts, this game will close on July 1st at noon GMT!

Last week's answer is Retsuko from Aggretsuko!



A new silhouette has appeared on the Midnight Channel! But Rise needs more information before she can help locate the victim in the TV world.

( Tonight on the Midnight Channel... )

Last round's answer is Goldfish!



Colette is known for her love of dogs. She especially loves to come up with names for them! However, after naming all the dogs across Sylvarant and Tethe'alla there wasn't much left for her to do so she's going to come up with deck names now. Help her name all the decks across Colors TCG?

With every round, there will be a picture of a character who has a deck on Colors. Tell Colette what their deckname is to be rewarded with 6 random special cards!

( And who will it be this time? )
This round is open till Sunday, June 22nd

Some of you might know Kamukura as the guy who was really into boats back in the day. Rumor has it he likes memes now. He's been trying to get into anime lately but sometimes he stumbles upon something that's hard to comprehend even with his numerous talents.

( Today in No Context Theater... )

Come up with a possible explanation for the situation in the screencap! It can be anything and as silly or serious as you wish. Don't worry if you're unfamiliar with the series, the purpose of the game is not to guess what actually happened there! Same if you are familiar with the context - pretend that you aren't and make up something on your own!

Source of screencaps will more often than not be Anime Screenshots Without Context

For answering, you'll get 5 new release cards. Every answer is correct and feel free to comment on other people's answers! This round is open till Sunday, June 22nd

Diana is a very good student, dedicated to learn as many spells as she can to bring glory to the Cavendish family. Let's help her spell some spells!

Rules
It's a spelling choices game! Every week a new word will be posted and you can take as many choice character cards as there are letters. Post your claims in a comment!
The card names don't have to start with the the letter, it just has to be present in the deckname. There will sometimes be an extra rule limiting your choices.
Unless extra rules state otherwise you can not take special cards but you can take more than one card from one deck.


This week's word is...


POTATOES


Extra rule: no rules


Since the prizes for this game are all choice cards and there's no need to pass them out, you can just log them after posting your comment!

This round closes on Sunday, June 22nd!

Natsume's no ordinary boy. Like his grandmother Reiko he has the ability to see youkai... who flock to him and demand to have their names that Reiko stored in the Book of Friends returned. At Colors, Natsume is visited by some of our past deck releases who would like to have their cards returned!

Rules
Every week, one of the releases is picked at random. You can exchange up to five cards from that release for choice cards from that release. You will lose the cards you turn in.

For example, if the chosen release is Release 001, you can turn in an Asobot card and get a choice Logic, Dragon or Optimist card in exchange. Specials can only be gained by turning in other specials!

To get multiple cards from one deck, you need to turn in multiples from another deck as well. You can't get two Logic cards but turning in an Asobot card and a Smile card, but two Asobot cards would work.

This week's release is Release 165

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America, The Avengers
Characters/Pairings: Natasha Romanov/Maria Hill, James 'Bucky' Barnes/Steve Rogers, James 'Bucky' Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson, Nick Fury, Phil Coulsen, various MCU characters
Rating: Mature
Length: 04:21:03 (41,322 words)
Content Notes: Graphic depictions of violence, abuse of children by the Red Room, recollection of past pet death
Creator Links: Quietnight on the Audiofic Archive, Quietnight on AO3, notcaycepollard on AO3
Themes: Female relationships, Action/adventure, Families of choice, Time travel, Fix-it

Summary: The fall is longer than Natasha expects.

It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.

Reccer's Notes: This is one of my favourite podfics by one of my favourite podficcers, and it's a tour de force. It's a long story by notcaycepollard that puts right Natasha's death with the soul stone - instead of dying she's sent back in time to the moment in her Red Room training she most regrets, and from that moment lives her life anew and, with her knowledge of the first time around, is able to fix the worst, most tragic disasters and losses of canon. It starts with Natasha rescuing her sister trainee black widows from the Red Room, plus Bucky the Winter Soldier who's there as well. There's a lovely, slow-burn relationship with Maria Hill in the story, but the key relationships for Natasha are with her sisters, aged from a four-year-old to teenagers when they escape, and the podfic's centre is the found family they create. The fix-it aspects are enormously satisfying and Quietnight's reading is, as ever, nuanced and fluent, beautifully performed - including all the Russian names and words, and a pleasure to listen to. An epic story and a wonderful podfic, stirring and heartwarming, and infinitely better than canon.

(the fic is the first in a series of three stories)

Fandom: Star Trek AOS (Reboot)
Pairings/Characters: Nyota Uhura
Rating: G
Length: 1866 words
Creator Links: danahid
Theme: Female relationships

Summary:

I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map.

There are rules of diplomacy that you have been trained to follow. There are realities that you have been educated to expect. You are poised and dedicated and intelligent and professional, and there are horrors in the universe that you don’t want your sisters to know. There are false maps to terrible places that you don’t want your sisters to follow. You know that you can’t protect them from everything, but this you can protect them from for a little while longer.


Reccer's Notes: I am partial to stories that explore why people join Starfleet, and this is an excellent example. While the story talks about Uhura's motivations, it also explores her relationship with her younger sisters. She is both inspiration and protector to them, and she's very aware of her role.

This story takes on both the promise and sacrifice of going beyond traditional roles. Yes, Uhura accomplishes so much, but those accomplishments come at a cost, a cost she doesn't want her sisters to know about because she wants them to find their own way.

Danahid's writing is always exact and meticulous and beautiful, and this story is no exception. There's so much in these 1800 words, including a beautiful ending.

Hey! You over there! Can you help me practice my shooting? If you do, I'll give you some meat!

Oh, you don't want any meat? You prefer cards? Who would choose cards over meat?

That's okay, we can still help each other! You just throw some of your cards for my target practice, and I'll swap them out with new ones when I'm done. Everybody wins! And then we can all eat some meat together.
Rules:
- You can play up to eight cards and two crayons per weekly round. You'll lose these cards & crayons.
- Ochette will replace the cards with other cards of the same deck but with a different number.
- Ochette will replace your crayon with another of a different color.
- Please list the card names and crayon color so I can swap them easily.
- There's no special criteria that'll decide the replacements. Everything's going to be randomized. You're only guaranteed to not get the same exact things in return.
- If you have a reward coupon that guarantees you more cards from answering a round, you can use it to get more plays.

This round ends on Friday, June 20th.

Kotomi is the smartest student at Hikarizaka Highschool, and one of the smartest in Japan, but she has a difficult time making smalltalk and opening up to new people. Reading is her usual hobby, but she won't say no to Rubik's cubes or a game of chess. What better way to make some new friends than to work together on a challenging jigsaw puzzle! Though these ones aren't quite the 10,000 piece puzzles you hang up on your wall.

Last round's song was Blood on the Keys by Motoi Sakuraba from Star Ocean: The Last Hope!

Hiyaaa! Ibuki has some really cool songs for you to listen, so enjoy! Unfortunately the mods didn't let Ibuki perform her own songs but hey, video game covers are nice too! The stage is ready so LET'S GOOOO!

This round closes on 21st June, Central European Time!

Each year's anniversary deck shows off our players with incredible artistic talent, and that's great! I, personally, have zero artistic skill whatsoever. So when I want to make pretty pictures of characters I like, I turn to Picrew or Neka.

Make a picture of a character you want in Picrew or Neka, or any other dollmaker website, and post it here. We're not grading on accuracy, so have fun with it - if you want to make Gothic Lolita Suguru Geto, go right ahead.

For posting an image, you'll receive three choice cards from that character's deck, plus cher15hed13. Please list which cards you're taking.



Like the other anniversary posts, this game will close on July 1st at noon GMT!
