Natsume's Book of Cards 253
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.
Deckname list:
Please use this form.
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, August 17th!

No Context Theater 432
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, August 17th

Deck Lover 483
Last round's answer is Kazimierz!
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? )

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!

Unless extra rules state otherwise you can not take special cards but you can take more than one card from one deck.

- What are your thoughts on the nomination pre-gaming we introduced last year? (i.e. loading tags from last year’s tagset into this tagset determined via comments on a post to make nominations easier on the mods without importing fandoms that no one might request)
- Any comments on possible issues that might come up this year with any new fandoms? E.g. sequels or prequels with different continuity, video games vs their adaptations, etc.
We are very excited to hear from you to make this year’s Holly Poly run as smoothly as possible.

Yanli has a very good memory. Especially when it comes to the people who treat her didi right.
here, now (in this cage) (743 words, prompt #34 lead, Lan Xichen & Lan Wangji, rated G, MCD)
The whipping doesn’t break Wangji but learning that Wei Wuxian is dead does.
And that’s something Lan Xichen has to learn to live with.
And that’s something Lan Xichen has to learn to live with.

Places hold memories. Sometimes they’re happy, sometimes they’re anything but. Luckily, memories can be rewritten or replaced.
