Here's a silly idea for you! Which utapri characters do you think would be prone to seasickness?

Oooh, interesting right off the bat!

This ask was really inspiring, so I’ll do you one better!

I’d like to detail my thoughts for all the Shining Idols!

(Written from most to least prone!)

((I’m sorry this took a bit! Personal problems kicked my ass…))

Dealing with Seasickness

—

Cecil:

Most likely by far. The poor guy’s terrified of any and all bodies of water, making his experience with boats limited.

One look overboard or an especially strong wave hitting the boat would be enough to send him to the ground! That’s without even mentioning the scent of sea air, reminding him of… fish.

He’d feel the full brunt of symptoms. Nausea, dizziness… but the moment he’s passed some medicine by another member of STARISH, he’d damn near cry from relief!

…He would then avoid boats as much as possible, only setting foot aboard again for work.

Hesitantly.

Syo

I feel cliched for Syo being my second pick, but it just… I feel as if it would be influenced by his fear of heights from the anime, somewhat.

Not only are you high up from the water when you’re in a boat, the ground’s unstable.

Syo’s symptoms wouldn’t be as strong as Cecil’s, not by a long shot. He could, if he had to, manage a bit. He’d just be queasy.

Once his fear is managed though, I think he’d be less prone.

He’d still keep medicine in his bag, just in case.

Tokiya

Here’s my third most likely, and the last of the characters that came to mind when I initially read this ask!

Tokiya may seem out of left field, but I have my reasonings. He’s a chronic over worker, even nowadays, and I know that neglecting yourself can make things like motion sickness much worse.

Tokiya is always prepared, so he’s the least prone of my top three, but, the seasickness would hit him hard when it does.

All it would take is one forgotten bottle of medicine, and it would be over.

Luckily, Cecil would have his back, he wouldn’t suffer for very long.

Ranmaru

From Ranmaru to Ai, my thoughts just spiraled, honestly.

Ranmaru, I’m sure you can guess, would try and sleep off any and all of his symptoms. Probably somewhere in the open air, on deck.

You’d know he’s feeling under the weather if you spot him curled up on a lounge chair, soaking in the sun.

On second thought, he might do that anyway, so could you really tell?

Masato & Camus

I’ve lumped these two together (just like Reiji and Ren below) because I believe they would have similar reactions, with just a few key differences.

Seasickness would creep over their bodies slowly, manifesting as a sheen of sweat on their foreheads.

Once Masato notices the churning in his stomach, he’s quick to either take medicine, or ask for it. He’d rest, but only after apologizing profusely for falling sick in the first place.

And Camus, oh Camus.

Prideful to a fault, he wouldn’t admit that he was sick, even as his nails dig into the arms of whatever chair he plants himself into.

With a scowl on his face, he’d subtly sway in his seat, fighting like hell to never vomit. He’d throw himself overboard before showing a “weakness” like that!

If he reached a point where he couldn’t handle it any longer, he would reluctantly (and most important, privately) ask for help from one of the people he deeply trusts. Likely Tokiya, Masato, or maybe Ai.

But, if Camus was in a situation with just staff, he’d grin and bear it till the end.

Reiji & Ren

The only reason these two are lower risk than Camus and Masato, is because they adore driving.

Carsickness and seasickness are linked, after all! I doubt they’d love their long drives as much, if they had to deal with it.

But if it were to ever strike them, they’d both try and deal with it by themselves, initially.

It would be a discreet illness. A little stumble from Reiji here, or a subtle wince from Ren, there.

Ren, after a while, would ask for help. With a weary smile, he’d ask another member if they had any medicine.

Reiji, on the other hand, would pretend everything is fine, right until he can’t anymore.

Then, he’d bug everyone around him, trying to garner sympathy with his big, puppy eyes. (He’d drive the rest of QN up the wall!)

Otoya

Otoya is a bit of an oddball.

While I can imagine very vividly how he would react to seasickness, he’s also extremely unlikely to have it.

Poor baby would be pretty whiny!

Though, with his high athleticism and need to constantly move, motion sickness of any kind doesn’t seem like it would fit.

Natsuki

Natsuki, for whatever reason, is someone I can’t imagine dealing with this at all.

With how he cooks, I doubt he feels nausea, period!

Ai

I’m sorry if this is an obvious “least likely”, but like… I can’t even figure out how that would work.

Seasickness confuses the human inner ear, which is what causes the symptoms.

I doubt that Ai, as an android, has a similar balance system to a human. Even if he somehow did, he doesn’t experience sickness to my knowledge.

I’m sorry if this was different than what you were expecting! ^^,

My mind took the scenario and ran with it. I love thinking about the logistics around little things like this.

Camus embracing his actor side as a performer. So proud of him. I imagined him dancing with costume because it such a fun song. I think he'll do well for musical theatre job.

Live Emotion's New Years campaign has been announced. It is titled 'Live Emotion: Countdown Festival 2024>2025'. *All dates and times listed below are in JST.

December 29 (18:00) ~ December 31 (20:59) - Collect/earn 500 cheers every time you play a live show. (500 cheers are gained per song regardless of LP usage) December 31 (12:00) ~ December 31 (20:59) - Send cheers via the event screen until the start of the live performance. The countdown will start at 21:00.

December 31 (22:00) ~ January 3 (11:59) - Archive of the live performance will be available on the event screen.

December 31 (22:00) ~ January 7 (23:59) - All Players who sent cheers will receive 500 wish tones as a gift.

It seems that cheers collected from all players will be accumulative, and will reward extra wish tones at a later date dependent on how many were sent. 10 wish tones will be added to the gift pool per 50,000 cheers sent for a maximum total of 3000 wish tones.

*Please take all this information with a grain of salt until the event begins and I have a better understanding of it!

The Quartet Night TABOO NIGHT XXXX CD songs are now live on Spotify and YouTube (here and here as YouTube doesn't have an album made yet)

If you're wishing to purchase the songs yourself, you'll need to import the CD as movie themes tend to be streaming only in the US. (I will double check tomorrow night) If you have access to JP iTunes, it's possible they will become available there later (I hear about 2 weeks).

[solarisleech]

The first teaser trailer for TABOO NIGHT XXXX has dropped!!!

[solarisleech]

I’m so grateful that I’ve already received a couple asks!!

I’m mulling them over, and carefully writing out my responses!

They might not come out in the next couple days (Christmas is sweetly blocking my progress), but I am almost done with my first ask.

I’m excited to begin posting!

[solarisleech]

Confusing development, my asks were off for some reason??

Situation has been remedied, ask away!

I have a bone to pick with AI, as many do.

Honestly, I’ve found myself inspired by it, in a strange way.

I want to rekindle my love of writing and improve my drawing skills, entirely because of schmucks that believe that AI is the easy way out for all of these things.

Problem is, I don’t know where to start.

So! That’s where this blog comes in.

I’d love to begin writing headcanons/imagines, based on how I’ve grown to see the Utapri cast.

Since I’m so rusty with writing, I’d love if everyone who is interested were to send in simpler questions! I’d love a sort of… jumping off point, so to speak.

I’ve never done this sort of thing before, so be gentle! I’m looking forward to (potentially) having an excuse to talk more about Utapri.

[solarisleech]

If they decide to pull out from Twitter, in that case, they may make a complete set of volumes? Not sure though, which is why I plan to archive (for my own sanity!)

I wonder if anybody has archived the official in-character Twitters for the utapri cast. There’s so much there.

Since, Utapri (the news accounts) and Live Emotion are the only reason I’m still lurking on that goddamn app… I’m just… hm. It’s what got me thinking.

Maybe somebody should try… 👀

(Note, I’m not yet familiar enough with HEAVENS to write about them, so it’s gonna be STARISH/QN for a while!)

[solarisleech]

There are LOGBOOKS?

I-?? Huh. I guess I had too little faith in Broccoli.

Though, those don’t encompass the newer things. I’m still not recovered from the cuteness of all of Quartet Night’s solo best album tweets.

I’ve settled on potentially saving them as a folder of screenshots labeled by date, with the aid of a friend.

They mentioned how sentimental it is to see them all in actual “tweet” form, so I feel that’s important.

Is there even a good way to archive twitter posts??????

ok but why were these drama tracks basically a love triangle between ai & camus/ranmaru's characters 😭😭 i love how wagner/myu didn't even consider being a trio of friends, he saw faust hanging out with ai and immediately thought I HAVE TO KILL THIS MAN

[solarisleech]

Thank you for liking my UtaPri posts… It was one of my first fandoms and I like it a lot. I hope that I can write about all of the characters at some point.

[solarisleech]

*struggles while writing* i suck and writing is hard

*remembers some ppl use ai* i am a creative force. i am uncorrupted by theft and indolence. i am on a journey to excellence. it is my duty to keep taking joy in creating.

I keep thinking about the old English translation when it comes to the SL archive game that’s in the works.

I hooooope the English is included, even if it’s just what they did by the time the ENG server closed.

It feels like a waste of money and their translators’ time for them to just completely do away with it.

I miss old EN Utapri
