I gave all the vehicles in your Touhou 9 video Mario Kart - style names
Presented here in the standard format
Marisa / Street Sweeper
Sakuya / Meidocycle
Youmu / Spirit Taxi
Reisen / Machine Bun
Yuuka / Weed Killer
Cirno / Formula 9
Lyrica (+ Lunasa) / Initial Key
Medicine / Tox Tanker
Mima / The Classic
Komachi / Sanzu Rider
Eiki / Final Judgment
For some background on the designs for some of the vehicles because I never talked about them Sakuya, Lyrica, Medicine, and Komachi's vehicles were made by a friend of mine who wanted to volunteer designs for me to use, which I later refined to the designs I used. Sakuya's I specifically colored after DIO from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders due to haha funny jojoke Youmu's car is modeled after the Fiat 500, famously used by Lupin the Third in the eponymous anime series and extremely obvious because Youmu's ghost part is wearing Jigen's hat On the same inspiration, Yuuka's car is a yellow Mercedes Benz SSK 1929 also used by Lupin the Third in the 1971 anime. Reisen's motorcycle is based on a 1984 Honda Goldwing model I found with built in gatling guns because I thought it looked cool and is how I felt Reisen was like when I played Touhou 8 Mima's (and to an extension, Cirno's) is a Ferrari 321B, which was used in the first episode of Lupin the Third 1971 anime (which is also the main inspiration for that entire video's premise(I really like Lupin III)) The numbers on the race cars are a double reference, being that the number 9 is referencing this being the 9th Touhou game and 3 referencing Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, alongside the 3 being that the entire video is just a giant Lupin III reference. Eiki's I just made something up on the spot because I was struggling to think on what to use so I just drew a box with wheels and rolled with it because it was easy to draw and I could make a joke about her storing hot dogs inside the trunk of it Cirno starts with a Mario Kart kart at the start because I thought it was funny Anyways my favorites are Weed Killer and Sanzu Rider thank you for making these!! Have a cat

Lately it feels like I'm plodding on in spite of myself
Mental illness really puts a different cast on chronic illness. I have taken two medications that caused my suicidal ideations to turn up past ten. The first one was Vimpat, probably about ten years ago (I was taking it for my epilepsy). THIS one I am still trying to titrate down from (Lyrica) and it is ROUGH. I was taking it for my endo pain. They are both schedule V. That's my problem, as far as I know?? I can't take schedule V because once it levels, my brain just self implodes.
EDIT: I wrote this yesterday and got distracted, eventually saved it as a draft. This might happen a lot, as I'm fairly certain I have ADHD. My dad was diagnosed with it (he is deceased), my brother is also diagnosed. I have spoken with my docs about it, but there are comorbidities with symptoms in ADHD, epilepsy, depression, and anxiety, so it is hard to diagnose, and hard to treat medically (with stimulants). Apparently epilepsy meds slow the brain down (in a very basic sense) and stimulants are the main way to treat ADHD medicinally. It would simply oppose my epilepsy meds.
I don't remember really struggling as a kid? I was the "model student" back then, but damn, I'm noticing it so much as an adult.
This entry is a testament to my need for a place to direct my random other train tracks. My thoughts get all bunched up in here and I get frozen. Nothing gets done. I even get frozen about writing!
Therefore,

In the キャラ設定.txt file of Phantasmagoria of Flower View, the name order is different depending on character.
Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Youmu, Tewi, Aya, Yuuka and Komachi have their forename written last.
Reisen, Lyrica, Merlin, Lunasa, Mystia and Medicine have their forename written first.
Eiki doesn’t even have her name romanized. It only appears with Japanese symbols.

Pregabalin is a controlled substance, but I never see if when I check PDMP. I didn't understand why it's a controlled substance, but it is.
Lyrica (pregabalin) is a Schedule V (Schedule 5) controlled substance, the lowest schedule for abuse potential, as defined by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
No, it is not a narcotic (opioid), but is used to treat various types of nerve pain (diabetic neuropathy, herpes zoster), as well as epilepsy, fibromyalgia and spinal cord injury.
Both Lyrica and Lyrica CR are classified as schedule V controlled substances because of reports of euphoria, improved happiness, excitement, or calmness, and a "high" similar to marijuana with use of pregabalin.
In general, medications in schedule V are considered to have a low potential for abuse compared to medicines in other schedules I-IV. Medicines in Schedule V are most commonly used to treat diarrhea, cough or mild pain. Certain anticonvulsants and antimigraine agents are also found in Schedule V.

Hi it's me again back at it with da song recs but this one is a lot more niche so bear with me for a moment
So there's this artist (who is also on tumblr so if she sees this My Bad lol) called Lyrica Live who takes touhou songs and comes up with lyrics for them and uploads them to YouTube
One of the songs, Poison Body ~ Forsaken Doll, is about a doll who was thrown away by humans, stuck on a hill of poisonous flowers, and her hatred for the humans who abandoned her gave her enough Power Of Spite to learn to animate herself with the poison from the lillies-of-the-valley and she set out on a quest to kill all humans (she got better though it's fine)
Anyway that but. Act 2 Percy
Oh-- Forsaken for another's sake.
Too much for one small heart to take.
Intoxicated by the bitterness of potent memories.
No strength in closeness after all.
Tossed easily off as a ragged doll.
Moved along in something like life, suddenly to freeze.
Also the last 2 verses
Choked, smothered by your sinful fault,
Weighed down until you reach a halt:
Yes, taste a poison brewed over a hundred years of boiling hate.
Come, open wide and take it in:
None sourer than one's own medicine.
Those manipulated thus learn to manipulate.
OH I GOTTA LISTEN TO THIS AFTER SCHOOL. TOUHOU SONGS WITH LYRICS? HELL YEAH!!!! I'll do my best to give my two cents on your connections with casa tidmouth percy. ehem.
"no strength in closeness at all, tossed easily off as a ragdoll" AHHHHHHAHAHAHA. THIS HURT. no matter how many people he becomes aqcuainted to (first thomas, then d10), percy always has this lingering distrust toward them. he's always suspicious of them. any sign of "command" that his acquaintances give to him is interpreted by him as them only having him around just to use him.
"taste a poison brewed over a hundred years of boiling hate" AHHHH THIS ONE. THIS ONE REMINDS ME OF PERCY'S BACKSTORY with how he keeps his anger and frustration inside for so long. and then it exploded horrendously during his big baseball game. the same thing is now happening with him and thomas with how he kept his frustration towards him and his selfish goal deep inside ("choked by your sinful fault". this also points towards how thomas unknowingly kickstarted their downward spiral for both of them and how percy now has to clean up all his mess in his own way). when will it explode? who knows.
the line "those manipulated thus learn to manipulate" stands out the most to me because that's EXACTLY what percy is like. he learned how his schoolmates only wanted him for his skills. he assumed thomas only wanted to be his friend because he just wants a companion, especially for his adventures. however he doesn't have the strength to think badly about them because he felt a sick twisted attachment to them.
his feelings towards thomas fluctuate erratically (similar to the original show with how he always beefed with thomas but eventually came back). thomas gets angry at him? percy dislikes him. thomas praises him? percy loves him. and he also learned how to hurt others the way others have "hurt" him
saying that he loves thomas isn't exactly correct. saying that he hates thomas also isn't exactly correct. saying that either of them is right or wrong is also isn't exactly right. he wants to be able to do things freely but his mind is still like a child's. this song perfectly encapsulates the feelings of this poor guy

another day, another touhou post! i almost missed the deadline on this one (not that it really matters, the pace is gonna slow down a lot in a couple posts anyways once i catch up). today's game is a bit of a weird one!
nina's thoughts on Touhou 9 - Phantasmagoria of Flower View
PoFV is a pretty strange game. instead of being a single-player experience like most mainline touhou games, PoFV is a competitive 2-player danmaku vs game. there is still a 1-player story mode, but instead of 6 stages and boss fights each character has 8 versus matches against other characters tied loosely together into a storyline.
the gameplay is neat, its honestly impressive how well the concept of a competitive danmaku battle actually works and it feels pretty natural. as usual the screen fills up with enemies and bullets, but stages dont have defined patterns or moments, instead both players keep surviving through an increasing onslaught of bullets and spell cards until one slips up and takes too many hits. destroying enemies creates a small explosion around them that deals damage to nearby enemies and sends weak bullets in the range to the other player's screen. if you line it up right you can get some nasty chain reaction explosions that can clear up your screen and really put the pressure on your opponent. in addition you can put more direct pressure on the other guy by building up your spell meter, expending it to summon powerful bullet patterns or even your own character as a boss fight onto your enemys side. while at times it can get a bit ridiculous (the two 'villain' characters have completely broken spell cards and insanely good ai piloting) in general the gameplay is fair and pretty fun!
as a fighting game of sorts, PoFV naturally has a rather large character roster, a total of 14 playable characters! we have the returners in Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Youmu, Reisen, Cirno, Lyrica, Mystia, Tewi, and Aya. Then we have 4 characters new to this game: Medicine, Yuuka, and the 'villains' of the story Komachi and Eiki Shiki. each character has different stats, shot types, zone shapes, and spell attacks, which makes for a lot of variety in the roster.
to try and unlock everything i beat the story mode for all 12 choices (Komachi and Eiki Shiki don't have a story mode). i didn't aim for 1cc's since the game doesn't differentiate whether you used a continue or not, but a couple of the runs happened to be done without continues: Marisa, Mystia, Aya, Medicine, and Yuuka. i dont remember enough about all the different characters bullets and stats to say that i really prefer any over the others, tbh if i were to play more i would probably just pick a character based on vibes alone. Marisa is my go-to generally, but im also partial to Cirno, Mystia, and Aya.
for the four new characters, theyre cool. Yuuka is probably my favourite solely because she gets a lot of cute art with Wriggle lol. for some reason the fandom is very split on whether Yuuka is an angry masochist or a lonely but wholesome flower lady. i think shes realistically somewhere in the middle. Medicine is also a neat concept, being an abandoned doll in a field of poisonous flowers who came to life through raw poisonous energy. Komachi is goofy, shes basically the grim reaper of Gensokyo but shes also really lazy and always slacking off, pretty much every singleplayer storyline involves her getting caught snoozing by her boss Eiki Shiki. Eiki Shiki herself is probably the weakest new character imo, its funny watching her judge all the characters supposed sins, but its really all she talks about, and her annoying fight isnt winning her any points for me.
PoFV is certainly a weird outlier in the series, but i think the gameplay does genuinely work pretty well! the idea of making a competitive bullet hell is so out there and they really put in the work to make it happen.
as always, thanks for reading! and if, somehow, someone is reading this who is remotely decent at touhou and wants to try playing the 2-player mode of this game with me, Please get in contact with me through whatever means works for you. i would love to give this a shot against an actual human.

(Same anon from the last ask) before Lily can use your story to discredit you (if she tries saying that you were a child taking it so obviously an adult like her wouldn’t have the same effects or some shit), I was taking oxy as an adult only for 2 weeks and only used it when the pain was too much to function or sleep but shit, did I have the classic effects.
I cannot imagine having a pain that Lily is describing that requires oxy to mitigate and then not taking that oxy in order to be more coherent on my blog/discord/twitch/youtube. Either she only takes it during bedtime or she actively doesn’t use it at all just so she isn’t high while doing her tumblr blog which like… girl, once again you’re choosing the internet and your hatred over your health… or she’s straight up lying and doesn’t take oxy.
Yeah I get that. I'm surpost to take a lyrica and tramadol at bed time so I can sleep. Plus even if personal experience isn't enough I've seen plenty of people taking oxy both not as percriped and as percriped. Plus Opeits have a LONG history with humanity so we have plenty of video and medical reports what taking oxy does.
While it can be possible to not want to take it unless you absolutely have to. My grandpa did that. Even as he was dying and bleeding out he refused morphine and stopped taking pain medication his last years of life as he died of cancer. Because of personal choices.
But what makes me doubt her even more is Lily said she takes Adderall (which it 100 possible and no wear near as controlled or valuable). You shouldn't mix those two as there is a risk of your heart stopping. Because of this then she can't have her Adderall. If she is only taking it at bedtime which I guess is possible. Thought idk a single doctor who would risk rupturing someone's heart by giving them both. Because then they would get in deep trouble if she died from that. They would rather give you strong sleeping pills then pain medicine like that. And if they have to they go with norcos or perc. Or even a popular one right now is gabapentin or lyrica. Which are non Opeits pain medication.
My biggest problem mostly comes from it being oxy. I would have believed it if she didn't say that specific pain medicine because of how much I know that's specific one is controlled. Especially the Canadian version. I don't think she's taking something that strong but I think it's possible she is taking a lower dose one like codin. If she has some kind of painful bacterial infection.

Top Theories You Have, But Can’t Prove With Currently Available Research, Part 2:
Many people are experiencing undiagnosed/misdiagnosed seizures. A lot of people are receiving other diagnoses and they continue to get worse with their current medicines- which is highly indicative that something is wrong with the diagnosis or the treatment plan. There are currently a large amount of patients diagnosed with unspecified or issues with mystery sources of “brain fog”, “mental health issues”, “forgetfulness”, “headaches”, and unspecified neuro disorders that are successfully being treated with seizure medicines.
Unspecified headaches/migranes: Often treated with Depakote, duloxetine, gabapentin, lyrica **These meds are usually maintenance meds for those with seizure disorder**
Unspecified mood disorder/Schizophrenia/Bipolar: Often treated with Depakote, Tegretol, Lithium, lamictal. **These meds are usually maintenance meds for those with seizure disorder**
Unspecified anxiety/panic attack disorder: Valium, Ativan, klonopin - **these types of meds are actually usually used to break severe continuous seizures in the hospital setting**
Severe seizures can cause atypical behavoir, impulsive decision making, confusion, personality changes, and bursts of dangerous behavior similar to the criteria for a mood disorder. A lot of patients report seeing hallucinations and hearing voices during seizures as well.
An example discussion on Lithium’s role in seizure disorder: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9886805/
Unspecified sleep disturbances/ myoclonic jerks (or twitching in your sleep that won’t stop, often noticed by other people)/ frequent awakening at night/ “tossing and turning”/restlessness leg syndrome:
Anecdotally, patients usually report these issues much improved or gone after starting seizure meds when discussing any improvement they notice in their daily lives.
Important note: Drugs that alter dopamine have also been used off label for similar sleep issues (with the same line of thinking that similar to Parkinson’s patients it would calm overactive motor movement) and research shows mild to moderate improvement in some cases. Out of all the conditions listed in this category, those diagnosed with restless leg syndrome seem to be the most responsive out of the rest of this category to dopamine-altering drugs.
It’s important to get the right diagnosis, but ultimately it’s most important to feel better. If seizure meds work then they just work.
A LOT of patients that have seizures often develop or already had depressive symptoms that can be exacerbated by some seizure meds. Depression can also cause memory loss, brain fog, & other debilitating symptoms. Cymbalta/duloxetine, depakote, lamictal, and other medicines can help alleviate those symptoms and may be ideal options or additional medicines that can be added onto the medicines you already take. (vimpat also has research that shows it is very good at reducing anxiety). Depression symptoms are often mistaken for seizure med ineffectiveness.
One good tool to help is to take a “Beck Depression Inventory” before starting medicines then about a little over a week after taking them take the test an additional time to compare your score. A higher score on the second test is a good indicator you may need to add on meds specific to depression instead of changing seizure meds.
This is a reminder that feeling awful and left with no answer at the end of all these doctors appointments isn’t the end.
