CITY the animation's Soroban and Mitsuami in bunnysuits. Mitsuami is trying to encourage Soroban, who looks embarassed. There is a minicomic on the right. Panel 1: Mitsuami tries to hype up Soroban. "It's okay! Even though you've got a plain face, you're still super cute!" Panel 2: Soroban looks notably more offended than she is flustered. "What was that?"

soroban and mitsuami #citytheanimation
Soroban and Mitsuami from CITY the Animation. They are sitting in front of each other, with Mitsuami in a laid-back stance as she playfully says something to Soroban as she looks a little annoyed.

I adore Lyse she’s so silly 😂 Soroban continues to be 100% a real one

A sketch of Lyse from FFXIV asking ‘Soroban! What are you doing here?’ A sketch of Soroban from FFXIV looking perplexed saying ‘… This is literally my house.’

"Soroban, what are you doing here?" - Lyse
"I live here." - Soroban

Absolutely incredible. I think about it daily.

Everyone (rightly) talks a lot about the highs of FFXIV's dramatic voice work, but what are some of your favorite comedic line reads in the game?

I love Wuk Lamat's little "hUh" when the gang meets Cahciua, and Thancred's shell-shocked "...perhaps" when the loporrits wake up.

A doodle of various interpretations of Soroban without her glasses. On the right, Mitsuami holds Soroban's glasses. "And the only one who knows the answer to this question... is me!" Headcanons for Soroban and Mitsuami. Soroban: atrocious sleep schedule, under those glasses are some insane eyebags and dark circles. vision is dogshit because she does nothing but stare at spreadsheets most of the time. phone wallpaper is her schedule and a picture of a cat. lightweight. doesn't drink (exceptions apply) Mitsuami: bilingual. speaks english +japanese, trying to learn others. phone wallpaper is a picture of her and some friends (soroban is not part of these... maybe this changes). lightweight. dislikes the taste of alcohol. They are around the same age probably. childhood friends, maybe neighbours, maybe just a familiar face on the playground...?

DODEA elementary schoolers on Okinawa recently got a chance to learn ancient math skills with the soroban, a 400-year-old abacus that has been helping Japanese students learn addition and subtraction for generations. (from @brianmcelhiney.bsky.social & @keishirkoja.bsky.social)

Wished there was a little more concept art of them but the little blurbs specifying that Mitsuami is stronger than Soroban (and that Soroban is caring. Nice!) have already sent my brain into overdrive any more information may have killed me

Conscience: hmm maybe I should be productive and work on art skills, practice flute, finish fursuit, study [language], and….

Me: let’s learn soroban (Japanese abacus)!!

I’m never gonna get anything done 🫠
Me using a Japanese soroban to do additions. My hand is in frame in the soroban “pinch” position. My computer screen above displays additional problems.
