Happy 7th anniversary Fuwa Maria and Fuwa Mario!

My UTAU babies are getting old now, and it's crazy to see how much they've grown and changed over these past few years, considering the amount of times I've changed their lore and designs LMAO. At this point they're well on their way to turning 10 in the next three years.

In celebration, I have prepared a celebratory illustration of my UTAUs and my online persona, both with and without the text :3 Other than that, I have scheduled an anniversary cover that will be uploaded later this afternoon. :3 Please look forward to it! I know I didn't plan to release any voicebanks today, but I will make up for it in the future.

Also, Maria and Mario's in-character birthday is set to April 4, 1298. I guess that makes them 724 years old at the time of writing this post! (dear god they're so old)

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →

[narumitsuweek]

Guess what? Narumitsu Week is back for 2021, so get ready! From July 1st to July 7th, we'll be celebrating this dynamic duo with all sorts of fanworks, each day with a different theme that explores all sorts of things that we love about them and their relationship.

This wonderful banner was created by our very own and very dear Marion ! Thank you so much<3

For more information about Narumitsu Week, please follow us here on Tumblr, as well as here on Twitter. And as always, we'll be having up-to-date news here on our Discord: link here! 

(For those of you wanting and able to participate, we'll also be having an NSFW Narumitsu week, with its own NSFW themes!. Info about that will be posted in on our NSFW twitter!)

On both Tumblr and Twitter, we'll be reblogging/retweeting posts for that whole week that are tagged #nmweek21 -- so make sure to use that tag while posting on either site in order to be boosted by us!

The themes for this year are listed below, along with little optional snippets to spark ideas!

Day 1: Chain/Locks

Chains and locks can be taken metaphorically and literally. In the anime, it's shown that Phoenix and Miles are connected via a golden chain... a golden chain of destiny? Maybe this could be referring to psycholocks -- I mean, Psyche-Locks. Ahem. Or perhaps, they're literally chained together. Up to you!

Day 2: Rewind

Rewind .... Go back to a younger Phoenix and Miles, and see how their lives were before DL-6... or perhaps, in a world without DL-6. Or, take them further back in time into a Historical AU!

Day 3: Anniversary

7/3 is the offical Narumitsu Day. This is a day about their relationship, and appreciating how far they've come after so long.

Day 4: Value

Phoenix and Miles put a lot of faith and value into each other. What does this value mean to each other? How does this value change over time?

Day 5: Appearances

Appearances make a person, right? So what does Phoenix's appearance tell Miles, and vice versa? Alternatively, how do they care about the way that appear to the public, either together or not?

Day 6: Teamwork

Phoenix and Miles work together multiple times over the course of the series. How do they work together... and how do they do it so well? Or perhaps, it takes a bit of teamwork to get them together...

Day 7: Seasons

How do Phoenix and Miles interact through the different seasons? As time passes and seasons change, how does their relationship evolve with it? What kinds of different dates can they have during different seasons -- from a date in the snow to a date at the beach...?

We're so looking forward to seeing what everyone makes for this year's Narumitsu Week!

With much love, The Narumitsu Week Mods

PSA- How It All Went Down On February 10th

Today is the one year anniversary of when I got into Def Leppard, and how everything on this blog came to be becuase of today. Below is the entire story of how I came across Leppard, and how this blog came about. 

Happy one year!

Let me get one thing clear- I definitely grew up on Def Leppard in one way or another.

My dad’s been a huge fan since ‘83, so of course, I heard their music growing up. However, I didn’t exactly know it was them that I was hearing- I just always heard their name from my dad. I kept my own taste in music, and never paid attention to them (since I didn’t exactly know who they were).

So, the road to my current state of Leppard-loving actually began at the beginning of my sophomore year (fall 2016). For some reason I "rediscovered" Sugar (as in I never knew the title or the artist of it but always heard it as a kid) and started listening to it a lot. A lot.

During my sophomore year, I transitioned my music taste into classic rock. I don’t remember how this happened, but it was for the best.

 At the end of my sophomore year, I "rediscovered" Animal (same scenario) and started listening to it a lot, but never listened to any other song by them voluntarily. 

In the summer following this (summer 2017), whenever we burned a fire on our deck, we would always play Weird Al/ Electric Amish (stuff like that) when we were out there late at night. Eventually, one night in July, I was out of ideas of what to play so I asked my dad (a huge DL fan) what I should put on and of course he simply says "Def Leppard." I asked him what song and said to just pick one, so I thought, “oh god I don't really know any of their songs and I don’t know what he likes, what should I pick? Okay, I’ll pick one I don’t know. Let's just pick the first one that comes up that I don't know" and it just so happens that that one was Hysteria, and I put it on and immediately my dad goes "Ahh.. you had to pick this one...” and tilts his head back, looking up at the sky.

He then told me the story of the first time it was played for the rest of the band (which isn’t 100% true, but this is just what he knew) he said that one of the guitarists (it was actually Phil and Sav) played what they had so far for the rest of the band around a campfire like we were doing (which turned out to be some of Sav and Phil's Irish friends).

But it felt really cool being out there with this song playing, and it was the first time I had ever heard it, too. Hysteria was my favorite song within a week. But, still, I could probably only name 3 or 4 DL songs at this point (I apparently did know more, but none by name). Those 3 or 4 DL songs kinda defined that summer for me, funny enough.

October of 2017: I don't exactly know how it happened, (I think I heard it on the radio) but I rediscovered Photograph (I actually knew this one by name) and became OBSESSED WITH IT FOR ALL OF NOVEMBER. Making music videos in my head, writing it into my NaNoWriMo novel, listening to it whenever I could, just wow- I love it. That's when it became my favorite song of all time (and it still is- tied with Hysteria).

It's January of 2018 now, and I'm still cooing over Photograph and Sugar and Hysteria and Animal, then January 14th, 2018 comes around- I almost meet Rick by accident, then a week or so later I'm watching the Metal Mayhem block on MTVC...

A video ends, it fades to black, and then suddenly I hear that "pck......" pluck of a string that echoes away and my heart jumps- “IT'S PHOTOGRAPH OHMYGODOHMYGOD...!!” 

It occurred to me right then and there that I had never seen the music video before (or even considered that there may have been one)

It had ALSO occurred to me that I had never once actually looked at a picture of the band. I'd never seen their faces. 

So I’ve got a favorite song I’ve been obsessed with for a solid two months, I discover its music video, and look at the band who sings it for the first time- and who starts singing my absolute favorite song of all time but an absolutely daSHING young man in a Union Jack tank top and a white scarf.

And then he hit me out of nowhere and I actually said to myself "God... the lead singer's actually kinda cute... like... really cute..." followed by an "oh no" shortly after because I knew I'd eventually fall madly in love with this simply adorable man who sings my favorite song, and I’d remember that that is what started it all (but that's not what started it all. It was simply an “I’ve been down this road before and this is typically how it starts.” I was more shocked than anything that my dad’s favorite band had a pretty cute lead singer- like how was that possible?) I was now, however, teetering on the edge of falling into an obsession... anything could set me off. 

And it finally did- on February 10th, 2018. My dad was taking me to a drama club rehearsal, and Bringin On the Heartbreak came on the radio. My dad turned it up and went "Yes! Old Leppard!" and at the chorus I went "WHAT'S THIS SONG CALLED I THINK I'VE HEARD IT BEFORE"

It was just the chorus I remembered, not exact words, but it just sounded all familiar, the melody of their forces, the screaming of the words, I'm pretty sure I heard it a really long time ago. And thus, it had begun. I went home, I found it on our iCloud and downloaded it.

Then I remembered my dad saying something when he was drunk about how "I nEED ROCK. LIKE ROCK. I'M TALKING LIKE- PYROMANIA. TWICE."

So I thought "I really really like a small handfull of Def Leppard’s songs. I think I should listen to them more. I'll listen to Pyromania- twice." (I’d heard of the album beforehand but never listened to it- or had I?). So I did one day. I listened to it. Twice. And BOOM; there were at least 4 songs on there right off the bat I most definitely recognized. Turns out I did know a ton of songs by Def Leppard- I just didn’t know it was them.

And of course I looked into them a bit more, hearing about all their popular stuff, listening to all of Hysteria, FINALLY looking up that handsome son of a bitch's name (Joe), finding out that one of the main composers of my favorite song went and died before I was born (Steve), and finding their more popular songs, and listening to all albums soon enough. 

I kept going back to tumblr to find pics of them and such, but there weren’t a lot. There wasn’t much on here at all about them. Whatever I did find, though, I reblogged. I was straight up obsessed within days. That week was crazy for my old tumblr. 

However, at the end of the week, on Feb 18th, only a week after it all began, I accidentally deleted my tumblr account (long story, don’t ask). I was honestly devastated because I had it for almost 4 years and all that history was now gone in the blink of an eye. Within the hour, I restarted and created a new tumblr account. I was lost on here and didn’t know where to begin, or get back on my feet. For one thing, I got my old url back ( @mccoys-killer-queen ) and immediately made my background the same pic of the guys as it was before to kind of trick myself into thinking nothing had changed.

I was wrong, and that was a good thing.

I got back into a fresh new blog, and started going around to people and asking them to spread the word on what happened and to hopefully get most of my followers back.

To this day I don’t remember all of them, and that’s been a good thing so far.

While I was doing this, I started talking to @raised-on-radio (whom I had only become mutuals with about a week earlier), 

“thinking about legit starting a def leppard blog tho” I said in the tags of a post I reblogged. She sent it back to me saying that I totally should (thanks, by the way!). And while I wasn’t totally serious about it at the time, I thanked her for the support so early on.

The next day- literally- the next day (Feb 19th), I messaged her and said that I couldn’t help myself, and made a DL blog (you’re looking at it right now). I’d never had a sideblog before, but within a week, I really enjoyed it (and obviously, I still do). Upon looking at this dead/sleeping fandom on tumblr, I realized right away it needed some sort of revival- to become like other fandoms in the modern day. There was no fanfic (on tumblr at least), there were no memes (oh heLL NO there was not), there wasn’t much circulation of posts, and it just felt dead- which I KNEW it wasn’t. It was very far from it.

Over the next month or so, it seemed now that I was involved with the fandom, it was starting to awaken in some ways. There were people actually posting content, more people were making blogs, memes got involved (I’m taking the credit for that, lmao, it seemed no one else posted memes except me and @stupidpicturesofdefleppard ). I don’t want to say I caused this awakening, but it just seems that it happened around the time I got involved with everything. A divine coincidence.

The year that followed was amazing in so many different ways. In a year, I went from not even looking at a photo of the guys and not even knowing their names, to interacting/having one of them and their official twitter interact with me on Twitter a few times, to meeting one of them in person (and putting my arm around him and having him call me ‘darling’), to having a year long obsession that’s still going strong, to knowing much more songs by them than any other artist, to knowing more facts and history about them than anything else, to being able to recognize them if given the slightest detail, and to being absolutely in love with every member and everything Def Leppard has done (not in that order!)

One year later, here we are! The past 365 days since I first heard Bringin’ On The Heartbreak in my dad’s car has been one hell of a story that’s taken me months to completely type out, and I can’t thank everyone enough for somehow making me gain 364 followers in the past year for something I never thought would get off the ground! If I told myself a year ago that I’d be where I am now, I don’t know what I’d think of it. I’d think it absolutely crazy- which it is!

But I wouldn’t change a thing about the last 365 days, that’s for damn sure. 

Rock on, guys!

DL Mafia AU pt. 2

So everything is gonna be tagged as #dlmafia from now on if you wanna see it on my blog. I kinda wanna do the mukamis next and then the tsukinamis. I’ve got an idea for like a short story mayyybbbee I can fit it into a oneshot but we’ll see. So far it’s going good. Anyway, here’s more headcanons. Enjoy. You can see the first post here. 

Shu: Is the type to smoke. A cigarette is always lazily hanging at the corner of his mouth, sometimes unlit because he’s too lazy to reach for his lighter. Once he attains a wife this quickly becomes her new job (lighting his cigarettes) and it becomes a moment of intimacy. He doesn’t trust anyone else to be that close to him with a flame. He deals with subordinates rather easily, and if anyone speaks out of turn, he doesn’t hesitate to silence them. More often than not, with his gun.

The bullet sped through the silencer, hitting its target dead on. The boss lowered his arm lazily, giving a low sigh and puffing out a cloud of smoke through his nose. “Tch,” he scoffed, “Noisy.”

Reiji: The traditional tattooing process is detail riddled, arduous, and most importantly, painful for the one getting tattooed. Naturally, Reiji takes great pleasure in this craft, and has become a master despite his young age. He has a few he's done himself, and naturally, once taking his wife, he’d be sure to brand her as his own. Like any other well read ruler, he follows Machiavelli’s most famous principle faithfully: it is better to be feared than loved.

“Mattaku,” he sighed, wiping the blade on the white fabric stained red, “To think I'd have to sully another pair of gloves…”

Ayato: Acts like he smokes but actually doesn’t. Likes using big guns the most because he loves how loud they are. Will fight any and everyone who dares to challenge him. He loves doing jobs because upholding the reputation of his group is the most important thing to him.

“Hah?? Again?” He reached for his gun and jacket, sliding it over his shoulders, “Let’s get this over with. My takoyaki is getting cold.”

Kanato: Holds his wife above all else. If you so much as glance at Onee-san the wrong way you can pretty much guarantee your eyes will be gouged out before your throat’s slit open. He and his wife are often dressed in traditional kimonos, and on their anniversaries, Kanato always gives her a new kanzashi to wear.

“Hm? He said that?” Kanato giggled boyishly, already twirling his gun around in his fingers, cocking his head to the side with a happy smile on his face, “Ohime-sama, have you ever seen a bullet go through someone's skull?”

Laito: Essentially runs a monopoly on human trafficking. Smokes heavily when stressed, but tries to hide it. His weapon of choice is his tongue, because this bastard can talk his way out of anything. Aside from that though, he has a few loyal women who will take a bullet for him, or dirty their hands in his place.

“Nfu~ it's because of me you get to live in a place like this, ne? Come on~ Show me how grateful you are…”

Subaru: Uses his fists to establish dominance among the group. He gains respect through his strength. He’s got a crazy amount of scars, each one with its own story. When out doing jobs he puts his hair up, since it’s easier to shoot without his hair in his eyes.

He clicked his tongue, sliding his blazer off his shoulders and handing it to one of his men, before rolling up his sleeves, “You’ve got enough balls to challenge the head?” A wild smirk claimed his lips, “Then don’t fucking cry when you lose.”

Karlheinz: Owns and runs the largest syndicate in Tokyo. Has three wives because he had to merge three groups in order to gain as much power as he does. Has a number of mistresses he keeps in Roppongi. Is heavily involved in politics and won't hesitate to turn a gun to anyone's face who he has even an inkling of suspicion about. Secrets are best kept between two people, especially when one of them is dead.
