Arknights EP - [Spark For Dream]

I've been yapping for too many years, so I need a living masterpost of the guides and blogs from my Tumblr and Instagram. I plan to create more long-form content in the upcoming months, and I will re-do some of the prompts listed. I feel some of my old work might be outdated, so please take my wording with a chunk of salt.

I'll update my with my content as I go.

Dividers by @fairytopea

[pagingdoctorbedlam]

6, 42, and 87 for the spotify wrapped thoughts!

ALRIGHT LET'S GOOOOOOO

6) Honey Trap Aftermath by Diablo Swing Orchestra

This is SUCH a fun song. A perfect song for when your fave blorbo argues with an evil voice/entity/etc and minions, eventually following them down into corruption! I currently have this on my Oozing Magic playlist for Taz, my gooey little Dragonborn Sorcerer who is definitely not a harbinger of Juiblex in an Out of the Abyss game. But this song ALSO works very well for a Bad End scenario with Ebenholz and The Witch King in Arknights~

42) My Own Tune by Katzenjammer

This song's super cute and playful! (And with the ending line of "this can't go wrong", has juuuust a hint of foreshadowing irony~) I have this one on my playlist A Quaking Soul on a Swaying Tightrope, which is technically for Fitche, my Pathfinder Bard heavily inspired by Czerny, so...I associate it with them both. But I'll explain it for Fitche~ Fitche had been a half-elf living under an oppressive regime, making a living with his music and slowly growing quiet and disillusioned with life...until he played a mysterious composition that warped him body and soul, turning him into a Fleshwarped. This revolutionary music reignited the passion in Fitche's heart, so even though he's got enough body horror elements to get chased out of town, he's now adventuring by his own rules, and finding joy in his life again! This song is representative of those feelings~!

87) Ivory by Helen Trevillion

Okay first off, go listen to Helen's music right now. Beautiful whimsical fairytale-vibes (and some actual fairytale songs!), gorgeous voice and instruments, I love her. Go. Go listen now.

So this is ALSO on the Fitche & Czerny playlist (it's literally the track before My Own Tune on the playlist). I think this one suits a young Czerny especially; he has lines in Lingering Echoes about how when he was young, he tried to hide behind his best friend and mentor so he could focus solely on music, but learned he couldn't hide no matter how scared he was. Still, I think this song still encapsulates a lot of his feelings toward music, the safety and strength it helps him feel.

Thank you for asking!

Thank you so much for Comifuro 16!!

so many things are sold out, thank you!

but then, how many times i've already join comifuro??

....wait. I started in

2015?!

First time joining Comifuro, old friend invited me to his idol-oriented circle! I join the Wake up Girls fanbook and made a Kancolle storybook-styled doujin myself!

Casually stealing pics from old page

There were only 192 booths there and yet still not selling much, I did get to break even from doing live commissions...

I skipped the next and 2016 Comifuro and back to Comifuro 8 in 2017 with my uni weeb unit

I tried doing super niche fandom! Izetta was super niche that someone who saw the keychain was super happy that someone made Izetta...

oh I've been on the wall area before??!!

But this venue is probably the worst comifuro I've ever been ( I heard that the one at sports club-ish venue was the worst)

Skipped the next Comifuro and back on boothing at Comifuro X! Went with my circle!

so many people in our circle back then, so we went with double table!! first time doing double table and printing posters for me!

the famous yellowish Kartika Expo!

and unconsciously I only attend even-numbered Comifuro... so obviously the next one is Comifuro 12! Went with my sister this time!

probably the only moment I have table in the middle of the row lol only added some stickers to the merch list...

Comifuro13 was the first odd-numbered CF I went after Comifuro 5! Probably worst CF prep for me since my keychains needed to be picked up in the morning of that day. never again.

I tried SO HARD to make both Senko san and Raphtalia keychain has different designs but won't have different silhouette, apparently it makes the keychain looks.... odd. But hey, those song lyrics stickers are my fave!

Oh, right beside the exit area of the block WW I just realized lately I probably only once being in the middle of the row

Comifuro14 was the time that I just got into Arknights and not having any oshi yet...

Right in front of the main entrance area!!

This was the last one before pandemic starts. I still remember how we commented on people who wear masks, "is the virus reached Indonesia yet? I don't think so"

Will continue on the Comivuro on next post!

15, 22, 25 hellooooo

HIII BESTIEEE

15 - the squad you bring on your first attempt at a map

(this screenshot is the team i just used for S5-5)

i actually don't have a set squad i consistently bring for a first attempt... but thorns, elysium, hoshiguma are the staples of my team for dps, dp, and defending. they rarely leave my squad <3

i always try to have at least one healer (this has been lumen more often than not lately LOL), and then if i'm lazy, the rest of the squad is just whatever squad worked for the last map i did

if i'm not lazy, i'll look at the map and adjust based on what i feel like i'll need. may and kroos are my go-to snipers, indigio and click for casters, scavenger and vanilla if i need a vanguard that can block, saria or liskarm or asbestos if i need more defenders, gavial for medic, ch'en or matoimaru or frostleaf for guards (i've actually been putting frostleaf on my squad by default a lot lately too... i love using ranged guards)

i try to put aak onto my squad pretty often too even if i dont actually have situations in the map where i'd use him HDASFJKLHGKL ngl sometimes i just use him as if he was an anti-air sniper if i dont place him well with a unit that can survive his skill

(can you tell my arknights strategy is just "use my faves" 90% of the time)

22 - favorite EP

"The Arctic Tern Sounds for Relaxing," what do you mean this isn't a real arknights EP

ok i had to think about this one for awhile actually but in the end, i think it's El Brillo Solitario (yes i am biased because i like thorns) (but genuinely i love the guitar and the rhythms in this EP) (and also im not Super musically knowledgeable so honestly im judging my fave EP based on which one i'd listen to the most and El Brillo Solitario is what i listen to on repeat when i'm studying or doing labwork or walking to classes)

All Hail Savior is also one i like a lot that i think is more in line with the music i typically like to listen to outside of arknights (LOL oops another EP featuring one of my faves)

if we're not counting EPs that feature my faves, tbh i actually like Stainless Heart LOOOL. Evolutionary Mechanization too. Bluish Light has been stuck in my head lately too. and if CC songs count, Operation Fake Waves is a big fave too

shoutout to Daydaydream and Ain't Seen Nothing Like This a lot too

25 - favorite welfare

FOLINIC IM SO EXCITED TO GET FOLINIC!! twilight of wolumonde record restoration cannot come sooner

lumen has grown on me a lot tho. like. elysium told him to weaponize with ANYTHING and this dude chose an umbrella. also his CN voice is really soothing and he saved my ass on stultifera stages so many times (wow lumen got a mention in all of these answers. lumen posting)

2 + Amiya?

Heya anon!! 💞 Tysm for coming to the After-Party 🥳 you're the fourth one here wvsjhshs

And please take this cake roll with a bunny-shape in its filling (since your ask is for Amiya)!

Anywho, number 2 for the Party's Character Ask Meme! 💕

2- What song(s) remind you of this character?

Sbjshsh okay!! I have two songs I wanna mention 👉👈

First one is this one:

Sgsjgshs right from the Arknights soundtrack itself!! 🥳 Arknights has super super good music so I felt like it'd be wrong not to include one of their own songs here lolol

I'm not really sure if this song is meant to remind anyone of Amiya but it does for me sghssg

Here's part of the song that I kind of associate with her the most:

When the night sky is at its darkest

When the battle is at its hardest

When I'm beat down and broken hearted

I won't give up

No, I can't give up

I think of Amiya whenever this song comes on because she might look very cute and is very young, but even so she's is a v v strong and determined character!! It's one of the reasons why she's one of my faves sgshgs 👉👈 her will, motivation, and drive are just so so impressive!!

But I hope someday she doesn't have to fight so hard and can be a kid like she should be 😭😭

And the second one is this one:

This song makes me think of Amiya talking to the Doctor/us vwhsgs, about how she's stood with us and intends to keep doing so no matter what

Here's some English translations of the song lyrics to show what I mean:

I became the only one,

looking at you,

seeing your past, and your future too

Your happiness and all of your sadness,

everything ...

I always believed that as someone grew older and wiser

They too would become so much kinder,

but I'm still no different from when I was just a kid

More than anything,

I feel I want to protect you

Even if I stir within this darkness,

that I know is lurking beyond the horizon

I feel like this song reminds me not only of just her wanting to keep the Doctor safe, but everyone at Rhodes Island safe sbjshs its very clear Amiya is always doing her best to protect everyone 💕

She's an amazing leader (some of her speeches to the Rhodes Island forces during the Main Story Chapters were just amazing omg 😭 They got me very hyped for fighting any bosses or taking on any hard stages lolol) so I'm sure she'll succeed in doing so 💞 Of course I'm rooting for Rhodes Island and her sbjshsh!! 🥳

But anywho tysm for your ask anon! 🥰 And Amiya thanks you lots as well shsjhds

I really appreciate you coming to the After-Party 🥳 and I hope you enjoy your bunny cake-roll 🐰 Have a great day and I hope you'll stick around 🌸!!

Yours truly,

- Exe 💘 (and this time Amiya too lolol!)
