writing this down so i dont forget laterr

“Personal Hatred” would be a good name for satori komeiji’s fanstand maybe

name references “She said, "Don't make others suffer for your personal hatred."” from Evangelion since it sounds rather similar to her theme loll

Typing a touhou related thing here but I'm not tagging it because idk how to feel about it. This is like a weird au involving HecaJun but Wrong™ I guess. If you personally like it and tag it that's on you, but I don't know if this counts as "good to post" with touhou tags so eh.

Haunted

Breathe

Just breathe

But quietly of course

You don't want her to hear you.

...

Hecatia didn't know what had gotten into Junko, but she's angry, angrier than usual, which is really saying something. She's so angry that she's been quite literally been blinded by her fury, unable to see past the purple fox tailed light waves flowing from her eyes. Along with that, for some reason Hecatia couldn't shoot bullets. She was being chased by Junko in a hyper-aggitated state, and she had NO way to defend herself!

Her heart felt like it was going to explode from how bad her chest hurt. How long had she been running? For some reason she couldn't float either, just making it easier for Junko to try and catch her. She was breathing so heavily, yet there was never enough air. Between the running away and the sheer panic she felt, her whole body felt pained, suffocated, and weak. All of it felt sickening.

She didn't even know WHY Junko was chasing her, but that just made it scarier. Here she was, chasing you while fully furious, and she didn't know why or how to fix it. Talking to her wouldn't work, she already tried that. Did this involve Chang'e or something!? No, that didn't make sense, she would be chasing Chang'e if that were the case.

She didn't know where she was either. This place felt familiar, but she just couldn't figure out how. All she knew is that she needed to keep running so that Junko couldn't get her. The overbearing heat in this place would've caused her to stop a long time ago had she not been running on pure panic. All that mattered now was getting to that something she knew was there.

She was tripping over herself now, her body not being able to keep up anymore, it must've been hours at this point. No matter how many times she fell she HAD to get up again. She could feel Junko getting closer and closer, just mere seconds from getting too close. She knew she couldn't keep this up for much longer, but her brain just refused to let up. Everything was getting hazy now.

Dizziness was setting in and she wasn't running in a straight line anymore. The vision around the edges of her eyes were going dark. The pain was beginning to hurt too much. She couldn't take it. She fell down onto the surprisingly hot ground beneath her.

She knew Junko was slowly creeping towards her. She began with a slightly muffled laugh, her deep voice echoing all around this familiar yet dangerous place. She wanted to scream, to tell her not to hurt her, but all that came out were sharp, gasping breaths as she broke down into a frenzy of panicked tears. What was Junko going to do to her!? Junko began by grabbing her by the shoulders, lifting her off the ground, and started shaking Hecatia back and forth, laughing as she cried and squirmed as hard as she could.

...

"LADY HECATIA WAKE UP!"

Clownpiece was shaking Hecatia back and forth by the shoulders trying to get her to snap out of... whatever THIS was. At this point Hecatia was an unhealthy shade of pale, trembling REALLY hard, murmuring about something, breathing too hard, and she was really REALLY scared. It was as if Lady Hecatia was supposed to be waking up from a nightmare, but just couldn't wake up. All Clownpiece could do was keep trying to wake her, even if it felt pointless. Shaking her didn't seem to work either. Junko was in the other room dialing the number for Eientei. She was startled awake when she heard Hecatia crying, seemingly panicked. No matter how many times she tried to wake her up, she just couldn't, and now it's gotten worse. She wasn't so pale before, nor was she trembling like that, it looked like she could barely breathe! She began explaining the situation to Eirin on the other line. After that, all she could do was wait for the emergency services to show up. Was this a curse!? Something WORSE!? Junko was worried, but also angry, but not in her usual way. No, Junko was angry because of what was happening to Hecatia. It had nothing to do with Chang'e this time, and if it did she'd KILL her.

Favorite Color: i have a hard time choosing… i usually answer grey as the best general purpose answer, but i also like reserved warm greens, bright orange, and eyestrain blue.

Last Song: haven't listened to much lately, except for a few vocaloid songs here and there. i currently have 問題児P - 地球を削る巨大な歯車 (Giant Gears Grinding the Earth/“World Rock Drill”), Kikuo - As it is, as it is, without change, and r-906 - Panopticon 2021 stuck in my head.

Last Movie: i watched The Rodfellows Movie after it was brought up in the most recent Patricia Taxxon video and that definitely counts. aside from that, i had been watching a few old movies with my dad, and i think the most recent were The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and True Grit. and before that i think would just be Barbie and Oppenheimer back when people were watching those together.

Currently Watching: nothing right now, though recently i picked back through my ‘introductory anime’ list that i made to try to go through last winter. i'm very late to the party on all that, but even moreso now because i also sprinkled in a couple of shows from the current season at the time to try to be relevant. all of that to say i watched WataMote and Bocchi the Rock! a few weeks ago, which was a fun surprise in that there was more to contrast between the two than i was expecting. unlikely i'm going to watch anything else soon, but if i do the main three ones left are lain, bebop, and utena.

Currently Reading: i haven't been reading anything though i probably should… i still have a short list to get to but i'm not really in the mood right now. anyway i'm hijacking this section to be about games instead because i've been catching up on a lot of those after only trying one or two per year for the longest time. recently finished Braid, Outer Wilds, and Superliminal, and up next planning to try Rain World (top priority at a friend's behest), A Short Hike, IMMORTALITY, and SIGNALIS. i've also started a few more in-depth skill games and puzzle games, but because those are made to put more dedicated time in, they're pushed to the side for now.

Currently Working On: writing a small programming language with an effect system so that i can use it in other projects. in particular i wanted it for a Touhou fangame (or if i fail to finish that, at least a skeletal engine for one) to describe bullet patterns, but i think it could also be useful for some audio coding stuff i wanted to try. of course, this is PL brainrot because both of those are already solved problems, but it's fun to work on. i still feel like i'm a creative downturn, not for lack of ideas but because over the past half decade i've gotten a lot worse at seeing anything to completion, so i'm also continually trying to get used to doing more small creative stuff, but not much has come of that so far.

Current Obsession: really into Touhou right now. yeah.

Who I'm tossing the potato to: i don't know many people on tumblr, and many of the tumblr people i don't-know were already tagged… i guess @mickelbach and @tenqi if they'd like, since we've talked before at least. anyone else feel free as well of course.

[yabusame-houlen-official]

got tagged by @magicalmelancholy-blog1 so

Last Song: I put this piano cover of "Noble Green Cinderella" from Touhou Hollow Song of Birds on to do this so I guess that, oop- (if that doesn't count since that was BG noise I put on to type this up, then last night the last thing I listened to was "Youkai Space Travel" from Touhou Silent Sinner in Blue's CD)

Favorite Color: Blue (and pink!)

Last Movie/TV Show: Uhhh I don't really watch movies/TV anymore but last night I lucked out by "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" being on TV and my mom watching it as tradition

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Yes™

Last Thing I Googled: trademark symbol

Current Obsession: Passer Montanus (Eurasian Tree Sparrow), and as always, Yabusame Houlen

got tagged by both @sdmax300 and @peculiarmarsu so I guess I'm doing this

Three ships: I don't really ship stuff, and calling relationships in stuff I'm writing/creating as ships feels wrong.

First ever ship: An RP-related ship that was less a ship and more an inevitability based on the conceit of said RP. There's two people who'd have any chance of knowing what I mean by this, and I doubt they'd remember it.

Last Song: I decided to dive into my touhou music folder this morning so you're getting this.

Last Movie: Counting random stuff on youtube I watch doesn't feel like it counts, but I did watch 12 Angry Men on the last flight I took, so that counts.

Currently Reading: I opened up a PDF of the Travels of Marco Polo recently and should probably read more than the introduction and one segment of it.

Currently Watching: I have the History of Yugioh playlist open in case I'm in need of 100+ hours of background noise. I reserve full attention of stuff to video games.

Currently Consuming: I just had an omelette, which is close enough to counting

Currently Craving: Not much? Just eating will do that.

Hi! I really like your blog. Your analysis posts about ships or other things are really interesting and your gifsets are super cute! I have just finished reading your two anime recommendation posts and I was wondering if you plan to write a third one about the remaining animes you like? I would LOVE to read it.

Hi:) Thank you so much! Haha these were more like “bromance anime recommendations” lists. I’m glad you liked them romances. Here’s part 1 and part 2 :)

14. Hakkenden Touhou Hakken Ibun.

The relationship of the couple in this anime are one of the best on so many levels. They’re one of those “even the darkest part of me can’t hurt you” superior ships. They’re two of the main characters, 2 out 8 of the reincarnated warriors (who are all handsome af haha) that are meant to.. you know… save the world.

They’re both on the verge of death at the beginning and one (Shino) in order to survive agrees to live with a demonic sword inside of him which prevents him from growing old and growing per se (which is really sad for many reasons plus you’ll see him once in his 18-year old body and he’s so gorgeous), the other (Sousuke) takes half of a life from a dog, so he can tranform into it whenever he wants.

The problem is that during all of that Sousuke has split and lost his shadow aka the dark part of himself. His shadow works for the dark side, but all he really wants is Shino. The most amazing thing is that Sousuke loves Shino so much, that even his dark part would never ever hurt him. Like his shadow does some pretty terrible stuff to others like once he has made a deal with a girl so she would gave him her eyes just because Shino has said that they’re pretty lmao (I’m sory but its kinda funny), but he gets so pissed when Shino is hurt. So it’s the same as Akashi & Kuroko and Gauche & Lag: even for the darkest part of him the other one is his weakness. 

Also this is one of the animes where LITERALLY the power of gay love saves the world by the end. (p.s. sorry, Genpachi, I love you the most and I know you like Shino too, but your flirting can’t beat such deep feelings lol).

15. Assassination Classroom.

Not gonna spoil anything about plot, so I’ll say it’s about “problematic” kids trying to kill their teacher who has superpowers and that’s it. This anime is full of controversial stuff, like I really questioned things and what’s right or wrong, but one thing for sure is that no matter of what you think about the situation, you will 100% cry at the end. I personally think it’s a kinda happy ending considering all the stuff, but opinions are very different when it comes to this anime.

Now for the ship. Let’s just start with the fact that both Karma and Nagisa have ehhhh… psychological problems haha (but who doesn’t in this anime? lol). So Karma is a sadist (like for real, he likes to get creative with torturing) and I think he’s also a yandere when it comes to Nagisa. He threatens to kill those who even talk bad about Nagisa and once has almost beaten to death those who bullied him (which I didn’t mind tbh lmao). He never does anything if others ask, but when/if Nagisa says “please”, he immediately says yes (which is also funny). 

They both are in awe with each other and think the other one is absolutely incredible so it’s like a two-sided fan club. Karma is really scary, but when it comes to Nagisa he can be fluffy af. He also doesn’t care about people much, but Nagisa is his everything. Like the “I give up” moment will melt your heart, that was so cute. 

So this is one of those “you’re the only exception” ships. Bc Karma is a person who will enjoy skinning ppl alive, but when he’s with Nagisa he likes to hug, pick him up and coo about Nagisa’s height, play tag, discuss his fav movies and tickle fight. I’m like… I’m just… this is great.

16. Bungou Stray Dogs.

This one is about a detective agency where everyone has superpowers who are “enemies” with the mafia group where everyone has superpowers, but actually they’re all friends and half of the detective agency date the mafia xD (I’m sorry, but it’s the truth). Like I still don’t get why they won’t just make one organization, this is getting ridiculous.

I’m not a huge fan of the anime per se tbh, because like it has way too many characters who I can’t even feel for cause supposedly they’ve had a dramatic past, but what past nobody tells, so I like can’t empathize to someone who’s an asshole without knowing why he is that way. Plus there’re many characters in animes who have had a horrible childhood/past but are incredible people (hello to Todoroki and Levi). And some characters there for some reason are degrading instead of progressing which is the worst for me. But it’s pretty entertaining to watch if you won’t think much about stuff, powers are cool and it’s drawn beautifully (but there is one scene that was repeated 28 times 28 TIMES!, we’ve counted just for laughs, guess which xD, that’s like.. they could’ve made time for a whole new episode instead of this)

There’s one character whose progression is so incredible though that I’m happy to watch just for him. It’s Akutagawa. He’s like grown so much and I love everything about him, how he went from trying to kill Atsushi to risking his life for him and letting him use rashomon, how he’s homey with his sister and how he’s so good with feeling his powers, how Kyouka tried to kill him and he was like “I’m so glad you’re happy now”. Bitch, like that’s the character progression I’m asking for! Man, he’s just… he’s my favorite, I love seeing many sides of him. He made me so happy in s3 when I was ready to turn it off lmao

So there are two main ships in this anime. Dazai and Chuuya. They are one of those perfect combinations. But not in a usual way you think.. like characteristically. Chuuya’s full power is uncontrollable and the only one who can stop him is Dazai, cause his ability is to nullify other’s abilities, so he’s the only one who can stop Chuuya and also save him from being destroyed by his own power. So basically Chuuya trusts Dazai with his own life when they work together (which is.. I’d be scared if I was in Chuuya’s place lmao). It’s not like I’m scared that Dazai’s gonna let him die or anything, but stuff like “let’s watch a bit longer how Chuuya is going nuts cause it’s funny” doesn’t seem funny to me.

Let’s just say, I do ship them, I think they’d be perfect together if Dazai was like a fanfiction Dazai, you know. But the truth here is firstly their relationships progression is zero to none, like yeah, it’s fun to watch them bicker, but it like won’t give you any deep feelings. Plus Dazai was the most humane and emotional when he was with Oda (which I really don’t get, Oda was a dumbass tbh, like who makes a children shelter while working in MAFIA???! ofc they were fucking killed). Like Oda’s so special for him but then he treats Chuuya and Akutagawa like shit. And he had more feelings for Oda’s matchbox than for Chuuya in the last season. So my heart just won’t lie there fully, you know. Because there are no moments there that indicate like he’s the one for him.

Now to Akutagawa and Atsushi. This is a classic enemies to lovers stuff. Like they go from trying to kill each other to risking their lives for each other. They warm my heart on so many levels. So they’re both struggling to get over of their past and can’t. But then by the end they help each other to let go of their demons, they give each other what others couldn’t. Like I still can’t believe Atsushi came in like a wrecking ball and said the words Akutagawa wanted to hear for ages (his face, his face lol he was like “w-w-what?”). Atsushi himself admitted that Akutagawa is his cure in the last season. 

These two are like also hilarious bc they both think that they’re trash so their arguments are like “you’re the best”, “no, you’re the best”. Like Atsushi literally goes “Akutagawa is so strong and amazing, but he still thinks he’s weak” what a bae xD and Akutagawa thinks that he’s nowhere as good as Atsushi so it’s really funny. The relationships progression is like insane. They went from beating each other into a blood puddles to covering each other from bullets and being like “honey, don’t you dare die, I was going to kill you myself” lol

I still can’t believe Akautagawa gave Atsushi rashomon… he was wearing rashomon. I mean his ability, which is a part of him was okay with Atsushi using her. I mean.. maaaaaan fanfiction does come true! And they’re like the representation of yin and yang characteristically and even appereance-wise and I think it’s super cool. Plus the “lawnmower” is the cutest pet name I’ve ever heard lol

Anywho, this anime has like 20 bromances, so pick whichever you like.

Damn, that got long and I’ve only mentioned 3 haha, sorry. That way it’s gonna be like 50 parts xD

[yamayuandadu]

at this point i am convinced that you hate touhou considering literally every other post by you is complaining about it and arguments like "anything you could do with x character you could do with y character", can we PLEASE just have some positivity for once, PLEASE

1. out of my last few posts about Touhou, only 2 were distinctly negative, the one about Sumireko - which was a reply to an ask - and a reply to another ask relevant to the same matter. I also recall making a mocking post about the newest Detective Satori, I guess that counts as negative too. My coverage of the latest Human Gensokyo was, as always, enthusiastic, however, and was my most extensive Touhou posting endeavor over the past few weeks. It’s a very fun manga. 2. There’s very little left to write about at this point, WBaWC release hype died down and I covered all I wanted to cover from it - and majority of previous games too - in older posts already; I already added most of it to the wiki too. Neither of the two official new manga offer any opportunities for the style of posting expected from this blog. I can’t grasp the “wow maybe it’s Mima” hype and since neither manga is heavy on mythical elements I can’t really speculate the way I tend to, which sadly limits the amount of new things I could post about enthusiastically.  3. I am no longer busy with my thesis but I can’t find it in me to write fics again due to the poor shape of Touhou ao3 and limited feedback there. I haven’t logged in since publishing the last ficlet OTL I have to admit that does contribute to my negativity - feels like there are very few people left in the tag, and many write crossovers, which is something i have 0 interest in. Sadly I don’t really think I can get into any of the media people seem to be commonly moving on to, either. 4. Barely anyone else seems interested in the aspects of Touhou I like (and with “mainstream” points of interest like ships it feels like I can never really fit the expected depictions well because I have a poor grasp of anime girl tropes and 90% shipping-related fanworks rely on that; alternatively character interpretations were defined day 1 via jokes from popular accs and there’s no room left for anything else) and I don’t really enjoy any Touhou discord servers so I’m just gradually drifting apart from it. Sorry.

Fic Writer Meme

Got tagged by @thoscheian, so let’s give this a whirl!

Fandoms: Oh my goodness, way too many. I guess Bionicle and My Little Pony are my biggest ones overall, even if I haven’t really touched the latter too much in the past four years. But yeah, I tend to ping-pong randomly between interests every month or two these days, so there’d be no point in trying to list them all out...

Number Of Fics: Hoo boy, gimme a moment. I have 19 on Fanfiction.net, (Not counting a crosspost from FIMFiction) 18 on FIMfiction, 7 on Sufficient Velocity, and 5 on Ao3 (Not counting crossposts from Fanfiction.net and SV)

So overall, I have 49 across all of the above sites. It’s worth noting that aside from oneshots, none of them are complete -_-;

Fic I Spent The Most Time On: Probably Of Responsibility from my FIMfiction days, or Waves Of Change from the past few years.

Fic I Spent The Least Time On: A Chance, I think; if memory serves, I wrote it up and spit it out all in one sleep-deprived night, and it shows. :/

Longest Fic: Waves Of Change, (The Sufficient Velocity one, the Ao3 mirror isn’t up to date) at 37.9k words

Shortest Fic: The Dark World at only 340 words. For now.

Most Hits: I have no way to really measure that across all the different sites, but Of Responsibility has 12,327 views.

Most Kudos/Likes: Of Responsibility again, at 345 likes (though 9 dislikes)

Most Comments: Does Waves Of Change count? What with it being on a forum that makes that sort of thing easier in the first place... Still, 218 replies to that.

Most Bookmarks: Just gonna skip this one.

So in total, that’s 243.3k words.

Favorite Fic I Wrote: I’m going to give three answers to this. From the pre-Pony era, I would have to say Alive. It’s a short and very rough one, but it’s still one I can come back to every so often and actually enjoy, instead of wincing at my past self. From during the Pony era, I’d say Lunch Break. It’s also got some weak spots, but I think that was some of the most interesting and personality-filled prose I’ve ever written, and it’s just focused on some fun interactions between some underappreciated characters. And for my recent stuff from the post-Pony era... well, to be honest most of them are multi-chapter works that don’t look that good in their current state, but Ninety-Eight Days Preceding Collapse is the furthest along by my estimation, so I’ll go with that.

Fic You Want To Rewrite/Expand On: Hmm. There are a fair few in this list I’d like to revisit and continue with in some way, but sadly for a lot of them, the motivation and drive just... isn’t there anymore. However, Iridium: Resurgence is one I feel like I could come back to properly if I just had more time; the prose (and the title) would certainly need improvement, but I’m still invested in the concepts I had for it.

Share A Bit Of A WIP Or A Story Idea You’re Planning On: I have something of a half-sequel, half-epilogue to Waves Of Change in mind for whenever I finish that, that would deal with a bunch of plot threads that there was no good way to wrap up in the main story’s outline.

Fubuki gently brushed Murakumo's hair, taking care with the knots and curls, doing her best not to pull too much as she teased the wayward strands into alignment. Rain pattered on the window and roof, echoing throughout the otherwise-silent room. It was relaxing and touching to see, yet Atoll Princess couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy as she watched unnoticed from the doorway.

So for some reason I woke up today thinking about an RP community I used to be a part of for awhile years ago. So I just wanna give a shot out to anyone who used to be a part of the KH RP board Kingdoms Unleashed awhile back, especially before they shut it down and re-opened it. I tried to come back once after it reopened but I just... couldn’t stay inspired enough for threads with the character I returned on and the fact that they didn’t allow OCs anymore honestly killed a lot of the appeal in the forum for me. And during typing this I just noticed my bookmark for it still exists, but the board itself has been deleted. So I suppose I may as well delete the bookmark.

more specifics about my feelings (and info about the board for anyone uninvolved but curious) below the cut because I am going to ramble A LOT. Like... this post is gonna be hella long, so I’m sorry if read-mores don’t work on mobile still. Also sorry if this shows up in people’s searches since tumblr picks words out of the whole body and not just the tags.

I honestly feel like I’ve made a post like this once before in the past but I still... want to make it again, because I’m feeling incredibly nostalgic about it. Kingdoms Unleashed was a KH-centric RP board on proboards that I lucked out and got into very early on in its life thanks to @highly-radioactive-nerd stumbling across it. I know a few buds from the board also were mutuals on tumblr, but I don’t know how many of you guys still use this site. But anyway, the big draw of the board was that you could bring in characters from outside of KH as long as they “fit the feel” of kingdom hearts, which they ruled as being: from a disney property, from a videogame, from an anime/manga, or from a similiarly styled media(as the catchall for allowing characters from, say, avatar the last airbender in despite it being a western-made cartoon). This was before the big starwars and marvel mergers, which is funny to me because western superheroes were a given example of what wasn’t allowed. Every character (whether they were from KH or not) had to go through an application process, and it was the main way they screened for quality control in RP and so that they could make sure no one was bringing in any super overpowered characters (the quality bar wasn’t like, elitist or anything, you just had to show a basic grasp and consistency on the character’s personality and that you weren’t gonna post a bunch of one-liners) The minimum required activity level to keep a character was pretty lenient too, you just had to make sure you made a post like... somewhere around once or twice every two week period, with activity checks being made once a month? Unless you gave notice of an extended absence. (common reasons included travelling w/o internet access since smartphones weren’t common yet, computer problems, health reasons, and needing to study for classes and exams)

But on top of all this, they also allowed OCs and fan characters under some small stipulations. The big ones I remember are: -No keyblade wielders to avoid an over saturation of keyblades -No vastly overpowered characters. This applied to canon characters too though. Like... one person got to have a touhou character only because her powers got stripped down a lot and they had already proven themselves as a long time responsible RPer on the forum. -No pre-existing ties to canon characters. They could know OF someone if it made sense for their background! But they couldn’t have already met them personally. Anything that develops in character after that is free game of course, but if a canon character got dropped then picked up by someone else, they had no obligation to pick up where the previous player left off. This bullet point is gonna be super important in my later talking! -This is kind of a sub-thing of the last one, but nobodies also couldn’t (officially) join org-XIII under any circumstance.

 One of the GMs even admitted in the forum chat at one point that they were on the fence about allowing OCs to begin with, but they were glad they did because of the quality of OCs that got brought in.

The place ended up flourishing into a VERY healthy roleplay forum, with the  rare drama cases either being resolved or with the instigator getting thrown out if they didn’t settle down. My favorite part was that unlike other RP places I’ve been on, there wasn’t a massive posse schism or canon/OC schism. No, people RPed canon characters with OCs and fancharacters and characters from different games or anime constantly, to the point where several canon characters ended up in romantic relationships with peoples’ OCs.

I loved it. My characters never ended up among those dating canon characters, but it made me so genuinely happy to see a forum so openly embracing fan characters and OCs to that degree. I was used to people only wanting to facilitate ships they already had in their minds, or making fun on FC/canon ships in other places that it just genuinely made me happily astounded to see the forum grow into a place where that was common and other RPers would actually like... get invested in and follow these romances they weren’t a part of despite not knowing the OC.

I still occasionally wonder, however, if the forum’s overall activity hadn’t dwindled down, if I would have landed a ~dream ship~ with a canon character and my own fancharacter. A bunch of people had been recently bringing in FFIV characters (which is my fav FF not counting XIV) so I decided to take a chance on bringing in my fan character, Ayletta. This was shortly after I had lost inspiration for Rydia and dropped her so that another fan of the character could have her instead and hopefully do her more justice.  Ayletta is a physically disabled girl (can’t stand or walk for more than very short periods of time) that relies on her Chocobo to get around and dreams of having her own chocobo ranch. What didn’t get included in her profile or mentioned by me anywhere on forum was that I "secretly” ship her with Kain.

Guess who just happened to be the only person that joined my first thread I started as her was? I was immediately ecstatic, even more so when I saw how quickly they got along even with someone else controlling him. What really got me and left me wondering what ~could have been~ is what they included in his described thoughts, but not in his spoken words. The RPer drew parallels between Ayletta/her chocobo and Kain’s father/his dragon to the point where he immediately was in awe and respect of the bond between Ayletta and her bird. This was a facet I had never even realized or considered between them before then, and only added to the fuel of my own thoughts. The thread was fairly short lived, but there was definitely plans for them both to meet up again later on which unfortunately never got to happen.

List 10 of your current favorite songs and then tag 10 people.

ooooooooooooo boi another opportunity to SPAM MY NICHE FANDOM MUSIC PLAYLIST riporoo

CLASS::CIEL_NOSURGE; --- Akiko Shikata.

lets start off with my most niche of niche fandoms, and my favorite song from there!!!!! of course, its an absolutely gorgeous song because Shikata, but i also love it because of its narrative purpose in the game its used in - it functions as a plot device to mass-produce [spoilers] and is also used as an ending credits song, which really matches the whole counting motif in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

i just love that sort of really layered meaning to the song ww

Ec Tisia --- Akiko Shikata.

this song is literal gibberish in its lyrics if you think about it logically, but theres still meaning bc conlangs

also i love it because the whole ar tonelico series is, in part, a giant “fuck you for ruining the environment, please care about the planet” in which the characters in the final game - the one this very song plays in as the ending credits to the best ending - try and succeed in repairing their dying planet, and so this song is officially stated to be the PLANET singing its gratitude and hopes and then theres the montage of all the games’ opening songs at the very end like HOLY SHIT im sO EMOTIONAL fU CK

Ra Ciel Fusor --- Akiko Shikata.

its a needlessly grand sounding song and thats why i love it really riporoo

ok no i also love it bc of the lyrics and its narrative relation to the game it’s featured in aka Ciel Nosurge (yeah) since its a plot device (haha aGAIN) for. literally. destroying the planet and turning it into energy for space travel, i am V SERIOUS

Everything Beneath the Sakura Tree --- Diao ye zong.

ok so all of diao ye zong’s songs, at least on this list, are fairly related to a story or character in the touhou series, which is why some of the lyrics don’t make sense without that context. the other three songs by this circle on this list share the same story background, but this one has a different focus ww

its still pretty af thoooooo

tombstones --- Diao ye zong.

MY FAVORITE!!!!! of diao ye zong’s works so far, at least. idk why, but when i first heard it, i was kinda blown away rip

burial meeting --- Diao ye zong.

its catchy. also i wanna make an art piece based a bit on its lyrics but rip effort

somewhat trustworthy --- Diao ye zong.

man maybe i should link the story to which this and the past two songs are about rip

Soleil feat. ていあら --- ていあら.

i seriously cant get over how ethereal the music is in this song, and the singer too!!!!! like it sounds amazing enough as its original miku vocaloid version, so having this human cover - with the singer being the original producer of the song to begin with - is really neat?? heckie

Tears feat. ていあら --- ていあら.

you know what im just gonna link all of my favorite tiara songs that have human covers (because if i don’t restrict it to that this whole list will be filled with her songs instead rippppp) because god damn it her work is just so pleasant to me riporoooooo

Undefined feat. Kalon --- ていあら.

please look at above riporoo

Tagging: Whoever wants tooooooooooooooooo~~ owo

also in some hindsight i guess my likelihood of liking a song depends on whether it has instrumentals in the background and how long it gets (bc apparently the longer the likelier rippppp). also cool opera vocals too i guess riporooooo
