"Stay Strong, Dream On!"

Daydream ☼ Project as pictured during their most recent performance. The group has just finished their latest tour to great success and plans to take a break to work on new music before hitting the road again.

Sources say the group will be living together with their manager and other staff to focus on their songs. The location of this group house is undisclosed until further notice.

[personaconcept]

Was fucking around on the internet, found this group chat creator, decided to roll with it. This conversation was one I'd played around with some time ago.

I don't think I've revealed it before, but yes, their group would be called The Dásos Society! This is probably not how the conversation would go in story, hopefully getting to this point BEFORE Shinju, though not a guarantee. With each new character they would try a different name, but I think Masahiko would probably broach the idea of a society as soon as he was asked for an opinion.

Threads: Our Tapestry of Love

Movies watched in 2024

Threads: Our Tapestry of Love (2020, Japan)

Director: Takahisa Zeze

Writer: Tamio Hayashi (based on a song by Miyuki Nakajima)

Mini-review:

This was good, but I can't say I loved it, cause I expected something very different. While it's beautifully shot and brilliantly acted, the script didn't fully work for me. For starters, the leads share like 30 minutes of screentime at most. Their individual storylines are more than interesting enough, but they're barely interconnected. There were so many times where I felt like I was watching two different movies that had been sort of mashed up together. The film is clearly going for the star-crossed lovers route, but for it to work you need to give the characters way more interactions than they have here, and I don't necessarily mean being on screen at the same time. Anyway Threads: Our Tapestry of Love is a solidly made movie, but these tropes have way better iterations elsewhere.

ALIVE!: Part 1.

Ok! Everyone out!

Kyoko!?

*The ambulance truck, after Makoto makes his leave, continues it's journey until it finally arrives at one of the medical evac camps. Seiko immediately heads towards them as they start helping it's passengers out.

I was expecting the two of them to show up here after I got Byakuya's message...But...Where's Makoto?

Let's just say that Makoto recovered faster than we thought...He's fighting Yukari Koime somewhere else in the lab right now.

But...is that really a good idea? He might still be injured and exhausted from earlier.

You try and stop him. I couldn't.

Kyoko...That...

It's alright Sayaka.

I'm not especially happy that Makoto is still running ahead without us, but if he can stand and fight, he should be. We'll rendezvous with him later.

The situation right now is...

Here...!

*Uchui and Kouji wheel Kuripa out on a stretcher.

Oh my word...!

We don't know how long he has left before he goes comatose on us. We got him here as fast as we could.

Quickly, move him over here!

*Seiko takes the stretcher off of them and rolls it along with Kouji. Uchui steps back and is rubbed on the shoulder by Kibin.

How bad does it look?

His condition has been stabilized, thankfully. But I doubt he'll be able to fight any longer...

Thank goodness you got to him when you did, Mr Ito. You probably saved his life.

No, I don't deserve the credit. I'm just an apothecary doing what I can.

But I've had experience with taking care of K before. Does he do this often?

Too often.

By the way Seiko, I was quite sure that you had backup here. What happened to Mahiru and the others?

We were assaulted by a small army of Monokuma's. The 77th Class went to go deal with the source, and they should be back soon. Mikan went with them in case we needed a paramedic. So I'm just waiting for her to get back...

And...I'm glad that you showed up with Kuripa when you did. I really needed this.

Why's that?

Because...at least I get to save one person today...

W-Wait...What do you-?

*sniff*

Huh?

Ngh...

...

Kirumi? M-Maki? What's going...on...?

[thepageofhopes]

Does anyone still do these anymore? Either way I updated my fav character bingo since it's been a bit. Characters under the cut (numbers from left to right, top to bottom)

Ink!Sans, Underverse. Scene chosen here is because he looks cute, but the cut off speech bubble is him being nonchalant about betraying all of his friends

Sayaka Miki, Madoka Magica. It's hard to find a good happy picture of her so Magia Record gacha animation will have to do.

Utena Hiiragi/Magia Baiser, Gushing over Magical Girls. Can't go wrong with the phenomal 'are you sorry' scare face.

Mion Sonozaki, Higurashi. I love her especially in her goofier times.

Subaru Natsuki, Re:Zero. Scene chosen here is one of my favorite moments of him from Season 1, the moment where he chooses to throw away his chance at a peaceful life to save those literally trying to kill him.

Gamzee Makara, Homestuck. Scene chosen because it's what sold me on Homestuck and him in general.

Rui Kamishiro, Project Sekai. While I could use the upgraded pretty cards, the moment where he coldly defends his friends is my favorite moment of him in the entire game so far.

Bete Noire, Glitchtale. Not the scene that made me want to cosplay her, but still one of the scariest looks in the animation.

Suika Ibuki, Touhou. I sadly can't put a gif of her swaying back and forth due to being drunk af, but imagine it there.

Azula, ATLA. Gotta love the smirk as she's captured.

Kaiji Ito, Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor. Had to get a scene of him whith those nice scars, they really show his detrmination through everything.

Keiichi Maebara, Higurashi . While I haven't seen Gou, this is a great shot of him. I love his determination and trust in his friends even in the darkest moments.

Kallen Kouzuki, Code Geass. The scene here is her about to use the Guren on Orange-kun, which is one of her best moments season 1 and is just a great shot of her in general.

Rose Lalonde, Homestuck. I actually quite like her Pesterquest art, and it screenshots the best.

Junko Enoshima, Dangan Ronpa. Her reveal and arrogant form is my favorite of her sprites.

Helen Richardson, Magnus Archives. Great depiction by theoldkyokodied since there's no official image!

Undyne, Undertale. Her True Hero form is what sold me on the game, and was also my first true boss I faced since I did a genocide run first.

Katara, ATLA. Love this scene where she confront the one who killed her mom and shows just how powerful she is.

Kaguya Shinomiya, Love is War. Hard to choose a pic here since there's two sides to her personality and I love them both, but I really love the fireworks episode and her escape is great.

Tahani Al-Jamil, The Good Place. She's so pretty but also her arc and personal troubles really resonate with me.

Kabru, Dungeon Meshi. Great colors and expression from the anime here, really showcasing his manipulative edge.

Tsukasa Tenma, Project Sekai. Very Subaru like character, I love how much he grows through the game and the moment where they get the entire park together to put on the huge event is probably my favorite sekai moment.

Lord Dominator, Wander over Yonder. I do love me a villainess who loves being evil, and the scene here of her manipulating hater is great.

Lelouch Vi Britannia, Code Geass. While the scene here is of his more evil/manipulative side, I actually really love him because of his humanizing moments.

Hey I loooove your stuff! What are some other artists, visual, audio, and text based, who inspire you? I hope to be able to create something as evocative as your work one day myself <3

Thank you!! There are so many! In terms of really direct and really significant, enduring influences on my writing style, or approach to subject matter & narrative, or overall "aesthetic" what springs to mind is:

The short stories of Kelly Link, Clive Barker, M. Rickert, Elizabeth Hand, Joyce Carol Oates, Tanith Lee, Steve Rasnic Tem, Melanie Tem, Karen Russell, and Ray Bradbury

The early 1990s horror novels of Kathe Koja and Poppy Z. Brite/Billy Martin

Shirley Jackson's entire body of literary work

Porpentine's 2010s twine games & fiction from the same time

Junji Ito's comics

Emily Carroll's comics

Lynda Barry's fiction and comics

John Darnielle's music/songwriting with the Mountain Goats

Sarah Manguso's poetry

The Last Unicorn, by Peter S. Beagle

In terms of artists/works I only encountered within the past few years, but am already feeling as "big influences" on my work in a similar way to the above:

Sayaka Murata's fiction, particularly her novel Earthlings

Samuel R. Delany's short fiction (I hope to tackle Dhalgren sometime in the next year!)

Max Graves' comic What Happens Next

Hal Schrieve's fiction and comics

Leo Fox's comics and art

Never Angeline North's fiction

Robert Aickman's short stories

Freshwater, by Akwaeke Emezi

I listen to a lot of music while writing. Recent favorites include Uyarakq, Guided By Voices, Nascent by Alexander Panos, Big Thief, Owen Pallet, and my sister Louise.

Books finished in May| May has been a good month, but I'm also ripe for another social media break! When I took a month break last March, I decided I will do it periodically—quarterly, in fact. So I'll be gone again for a bit in June, from the third week (because I still have a book to review) up to the second week of July. Sana afford ko mag sabbatical chz.

Now let's talk about books—the highlight is I discovered that I loooove body horror because of a random eARC I got. The cheka part is that I gave my first 1star of the year. Anyway, here are the 10 books I finished this month, ranked:

4.5⭐

📱 Kindred by Octavia E. Butler - It has been forever since I stayed up late because I can't put a book down. This totally did it. Of course I felt shit the next day, but damn it's so worth it!

4⭐

📖 It's A Mens World by Bebang Siy - It's a collection of the author's personal stories chronicling her girlhood in Manila. Funny, relatable and quite charming, but also dark in places.

📱 Welcome To Your Body: Lessons in Evisceration, edited by Ryan Marie Ketterer - Before this book I already had an inkling that I like body horror—Grease by Junji Ito and Earthlings by Sayaka Murata are two of my favorites, but this book gave me different flavors of body horror and I enjoyed sampling every story. Of course, I like some stories more than the others, but as a collection I honestly will give this 5 stars. It reminded me of Deesha Philyaw's "The Secret Lives of Church Ladies" in the sense that it feels very much like a cohesive collection. Top tier!

📖 Tao Sa Prowa: Mga Tala, Mga Taon by Allan Popa - Another stunning collection. It's a series of seemingly random vignettes on different aspects and phases of life, that is, until I came to the titular piece—then it morphed into a rounded collection. And the theme is revealed. I would say it's similar to Saglit: Mga Ala-ala't Muni by Rofel Brion, but (10x) better.

📱 Frieren: Beyond the Journey's End Volumes 7&8 by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe - I adore this series so much!!! It's starts in the end and shows the reader how we carry the people we meet to the future even though our time together is over. I tear up a lot reading this manga lol.

📖 Asintada: Mga Tula by Lilia Quindoza Santiago - Simple. Pero pag tinamaan ka bubukol for sure.

3⭐

📱 Giraffe and a Half by Shel Silverstein - Minsan trip ko lang bumasa ng children's book. Solid naman ito hehe.

📱 Sheets by Brenna Thummler - Loved the art style, the story, not so much.

1.5⭐

📱 🎧 Bel Canto by Ann Patchett - So disappointed with this because it's a highly anticipated read. I guess I'll just put my Goodreads review here: The writing is gorgeous because it's Ann Patchett, but I did not connect with this for some reason, so I was already planning to give it 3 stars... but then I found out what Peruvian historical event this book takes inspiration from and it just left a bad taste in my mouth the erasure and co-opting of POC stories and histories. I wouldn't have learned about the Lima Hostage Crisis if not for other Goodreads reviews. You'd hope that the telling of these stories would help shed light, but the author swept the Peruvians under the rug instead. In their own story. Very British Museum behavior.

And that's a wrap! 🌯 I already cried to LOTR: The Return of the King, so June is already going so well lol.
