Long time no post, huh? Well, I found some free time and decided to do a little Moonie to test color mixing and some other stuff. The way light behaves on metal/more reflective objects is something I still need to understand, but for now I'm liking this pseudo-colored-pencil-and-alcohol-marker digital painting thing I've got going on so far. Also tried testing out that thing some artists do where they sprinkle random colors throughout, so that was cool too.

Are you going to translate kagerou daze last chapter? I can’t wait

Well...okay. I’m gonna be honest with the Kagepro Fandom here.

It is not likely Iwill post the RAW manga for the fandom anymore

I will get the manga, yes. But at this point, I don’t evenwant to contribute anything to do fandom to help with access to officialcontents.

It was a very hard decision to make, but with how theKagepro fandom is acting today, I have decided I will not post the Kagepro RAWson Tumblr anymore, and will remove all RAWs I have scanned once I get thesubscription.

TL; DR: At thispoint, the fandom is too toxic, therefore I have no more desire to provide themanga chapters even though there is only one chapter left. Sorry to those whowere not involved in this, but screw it with the antis who now run the fandomand hope you’re happy.

Also still shipKanoKido and don’t see HibiMomo as a “pedophilia ship”

Listen. Back when I joined the fandom, it was a simplertime. Yobanashi Deceive came out, followed by Lost Time Memory and Ayano’sTheory of Happiness shortly after. Those days were simple as we all cried overKano and Ayano, and think of the potential plot LTM revealed as we all waited forMekakucity Actors to come out. We also had awesome contents on translatorstranslating some fancomics (with permission) and a good amount of fanfics andfanarts provided by the fans in this fandom.  

Of course, we had some discourse over which was better:KanoKido or KanoAya; and over Shounen Brave’s MV being leaked online. And wehad major discourse over how MCA went, but in the end it’s just agree todisagree and move on to focus to other medias Kagerou Project was released in,or just move away from the series in general.

Right now with the fandom, however, they cannot agree ordisagree over ships. Majority of the fandom anyway. Today the fandom…other fandoms really, just love to throwthe word ‘incest’ and ‘pedophilia’ left and right with ease and spread theirflames in their posts, tags and replies. In everything, really. Even when theyposted official art, they feel the need to scream in their tag to tell usshippers to fuck off and die for shipping what they think is ‘incest’. I also knowthere are those who are disgusted over my display picture of Kano and Kidokissing, which an old friend of mine edited when that episode of MCA aired(won’t reveal name because I don’t want you to attack them). And even feelgross out over the pic in my blog of Kano petting Kido’s kitty ears.

I want to ask, how can the antis who claim Kano and Kido aresiblings, can see petting as sexual? You could have chosen to see it as abrother petting his sister’s kitty ears because it is cute and fun to tease herfor that, but no. Just because Kano and Kido are alone within a picture…or apanel frame really, you guys choose to view it as a romantic relationshipinstead of a sibling relationship, getting angry over it and spreading hate.

Ironic for antis who claim Kano & Kido are siblings, butjust seeing them together doing something makes you think it’s romantic anyway.

What’s more. Age gaps. Ever since another discourse over ships happened when my friend tried to makepeace with shippers (and sadly failed and upset over it when you guys flamedher), I have heard of this thing called “Half your age + Seven” to dictate whoto date with, and what is appropriately shippable, like HibiMomo. Honestly thispost have the best response over it, but I will quote the replyhere.

so a 16 year old can’tdate a 14 year old? so an 18 year old can’t date a 16 year old? so a 40 yearold can’t date a 27 year old? a math expression should not be the regulation ondating ages…

and if it’s shippingwho tf cares? not hurting anybody because they all fictional…

To be honest, this reminds me of Dead Poet Society. Ifanyone had seen the film, maybe you recall a scene where poetry is calculatedby math as well. This is that level of stupidity. The fandom today is doingsomething what could be considered excrement on what is acceptable over whatis fiction and bringing that over to reality. The reality where your parents,grandparents, classmates or anyone you know also have age gaps, and that reallyyou are more upset over fictional characters dating instead of real-life issuesof incest and pedophilia.

Other than that little discourse fiasco, there are otherthings, but I will not go into detail. Instead just says this tiny fandom justfeels too entitled with their belief and doing uncalled for things likebackstabbing and limiting others to enjoy supporting the fandom in their ownway. Also to let the antis go free by just sit by and watch. I understand thosewho are just tired and don’t want to deal with them. But for those who actuallyenable the antis to do what they want because you guys just don’t care, youguys are part of the guilty party as well by letting them grow and think it’sa-okay to be like this.

With that being said, I do not feel the need to post thefinal chapter anymore. You guys will have to figure it out yourselves or justwait and hear bits and pieces of it maybe. But I don’t even want to post what Iknow. Instead I will just share those RAWs with who I am friends with and whomI trust, plus those who are more mature because instead of flaming, they justlet others enjoy what they ship and do their own things.

The chapters being taken down will also remove myself as aRAW provider to the fandom, which I am thankful because I do not need to dothis anymore, as I, again, I hate scanning and always believe I would get intotrouble.

I know there are those, like my friends and mutuals I havehere on Tumblr, who wanted to read the manga since they do not have access tothem where they live. I am sorry for doing this to them too, but it just isn’tworth it in the end.

Instead, I will spend my remaining days in the fandom asjust someone who hears bits and pieces of Kagepro fandom here and there while Iam enjoying myself more in another fandom or doing other things I enjoy inlife, instead of spreading hate when someone doesn’t agree with you. I willstill look forward to Jin’s next album and when Mekakucity Reload to come out, andalso I might finish my KanoKido Oneshot requests and multichapter stories Iwanted to finish, but that will take a longtime since I’m planning to focus other writing instead.

But what I look forward to the most is when the series’ end,so then it can be put to rest for real and I can officially leave and let thefandom to slowly die. Might hear some things, but it will be a dying fandom atthat point.

The asks are still open for yelling. But it will just provea point. But right now, I believe I have blocked a lot of anti, which goes toshow how toxic this fandom has become. If I do get any asks/anon hate though,feel free to blacklist #discourse and #negativity, dear followers. Tumblralways had that option at least, you guys just need to use it when you’re onthe app without xKit. Also I will just answer those asks once, then block them afterwards (if you’re sending an ask through anon, you’re IP blocked).

If you guys read this whole thing (over 2 pages at thispoint), then I thank you for reading this. And more so if you understand what Iam doing. Sorry to those who are upset over this, but not to the antis who areupset and possibly raging if they read this.

Because with antis running the fandom, I want no part in itby providing them the last manga content.

Kagerou Project fandom history / KageDaze Recap - #1 Wannyanpuu’s Fan Designs x Outer Science Parallels and etc.

subjects in order of appearances (from left to right): [Jin’s Hibiya initially debuted Sept. 30, 2011, in Kagerou Days.] [some songs were already made/debuted before this.] [Hiyori did not yet have an official design.] [Wannyanpuu’s short haired Hiyori design came first, and was fanmade by them for the KageDaze fan pv.] [* Jin (series creator) then asks Wannyanpuu to join his team.]

a) Wannyanpuu's Hibiya - December 17, 2011 [KageDaze fan pv] b) Jin's Hibiya - Children Record / "Opening Song" for Kagepro [2012] c+d) Wannyanpuu’s short-haired Hiyori fanarts by Wannyanpuu e) Wannyanpuu's short haired bob haircut Hiyori, just around and before “Shirori” appears at the end of Wannyanpuu’s pv. f) Shiro Hiyori = ‘Shirori’ is a fandom name ("Shiro" = 'white') [meaning the white/shadowy hue she has as a ‘Kagerou’ / ‘Heat Haze’] g) Wannyanpuu’s Hibiya+Hiyori as good friends (fanart by Wannyanpuu) h) Jin’s Hibiya+Hiyori as childhood friends [Outer Science pv, towards end] i) Wannyanpuu's Hibiya just before "Kageoru[!Hibiya]" waves "[bye]" [after Hiyori dies by truck, and Hibiya fades to black] j) Jin's Hibiya just before "Saeru" (in the form of Kuro!Konoha) waves "[bye]" [Outer Science, debuted Aug. 31st 2013] [as Hibiya dies by truck/Saeru]

Kagerou(s) and Hibi+Hiyo being friends outside of pv/post-pv:

[^ art by Wannyanpuu, the group/OT4?]

(it was a supposed happy ending post-pv verse, but .... ?) [art by Shidu/Sidu] [* note: Shidu (later Sidu) not much later then created/designed Konoha (+Kuro!Konoha?)]

[^“Kagerou”!Hibiya, waving “bye”] (from the fan pv)

 (”Saeru” having taken the form of Konoha [Outer Science])

(previously in Children Record/Lost Time Memory known as Kuro!Konoha or simply a “dark!Konoha” by the fandom, [including Japanese fandom, so not just english fandom] before that, then became “Saeru” as we know him now (”Clearing Eyes”) * plot-wise in LTM though he is essentially “Saeru”, we just didn’t know for sure * back then, anyway... also note this is Music Route Lost Time Memory * not novels route, not manga route, not Mekakucity Actors anime route) (also note: the framing and placement of Hibiya’s hand reaching out, above.)

(... yeah)

(Wannyanpuu’s alternative designs for their fan pv/fanmade Hibiya and Hiyori.)

(* these are around from pre-Konoha no Sekai Jijou.) (* note the “14″ and “15″′s) (* also, a long haired Wannyanpuu Hiyori near right.) (* also note the dates of these sketches in regards to debut dates.)

Wannyanpuu went on to design Mary and not much later, Momo. Wannyanpuu also went on to create the pvs/music videos for “Imagination Forest” / “Fantasy Forest” [feb. 03, 2012], “Konoha no Sekai Jijou” / “Konoha’s State of the World” [with Sidu], “Kisaragi Attention” [may 27, 2012], and “Otsukimi Recital” [july 02, 2013, some time later on].

Konoha was initially designed by Sidu as a girl. [note her fandom name is “Beta Konoha”] she was apparently changed to a boy Konoha because they thought Kagepro had too many girls at the time, so it was to balance out the cast. (* note Headphone Actor already existed before this, however!) (hi Actor...) Sidu since went on to create pvs/music videos for: - Konoha’s State of the World [March 30, 2012]

[*Hiyori’s now-official design debuts here.] [* Hibiya begins to sacrifice himself for Hiyori, while Konoha tries to save them / Hibiya particularly.] and...: - Toumei Answer [May 30, 2012] (*movie/art by Wannyanpuu) [* Ayano’s debut, with Shintaro’s design, pre-Mekakushi Trio info] [* from Mekakucity Days album] [in between, “- in a daze” (novel 1) releases the same day.] [* however, translations were lacking for quite a while, along with other novels.] - Children Record [July 31, 2012] (”Opening” for “Kagerou Project”) [in between, “A Headphone Actor” (novel 2) releases on Sept. 29, 2012] - Lost Time Memory [March 29, 2013] (* during this music video, Shintaro selflessly saves Saeru [as “Kuroha”]/Konoha [??] from suicide. Various routes happen here.) - Yobanashi Deceive [Feb. 17, 2013] [* Kano’s pv debuts] [by Sidu] [* he is one of the last main characters to get a pv in this time frame.] [* Fem!Kano as a design / personality also debuts here. (Yes, she is canon.)] then: - Ayano’s Theory of Happiness / Ayano no Koufuku Riron [April 22, 2013] [in between, “The Children Reason” (novel 3) releases on May 30, 2013] - Yuukei Yesterday [Aug. 04, 2013] [in between, “The Missing Children” (novel 4) releases Aug. 30, 2013] [* literally the very day before Outer Science, below.] [* Saeru takes over Konoha’s form for the first time here, killing Konoha.] - * Outer Science [Aug. 31, 2013] [Saeru takes over Konoha here] [* and then kills ... everyone. along with Hibiya. (above.)] (* please remember novel translations were very hard to come by during this entire time, and the english fandom had to rely on rather vague summaries.) now / present day, long after all that (and more novels, manga, MCA): - “Saeru” (Snake of Clearing Eyes) is FINALLY getting a backstory (?!) (BONUS:)

... KageHibi ? [official art by Wannyanpuu] (... among other psuedo-‘Kage+Hibi’ arts.) (... no comment on another certain Hibiya ship from this era.) ( I DON’T MAKE THE RULES )

LTM and LCM

[astudyin221b]

Okay, I love both of these posts and I thought I might add a few things as well! I also love what fans have done to the concept of a mind palace in fanfics, fanart, etc. It adds so much to the stories whenever it’s included. However, while fascinating in fiction, it is not wholly accurate in real life.

This post is lengthy, sorry. I’m not a professor or anything, but I think this is such an interesting topic to learn. (More under the cut)

This technique is also known as the Roman Room, or more popularly, the Method of Loci. There have been a few books mentioning the technique over the years, such as The Art of Memory by Frances Yates, as well as much older manuscripts such as Rhetorica ad Herennium, and Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria. It’s a mnemonic device that affects your long term memory.

Theoretically, LTM has both infinite capacity and duration. So BBC Sherlock could, theoretically, learn as much information as he so pleases. However, it’s not necessarily the storage of memory that’s the problem, it’s the retrieval. To understand this, I think it’s important to know a little bit about how memory systems work.

I found this diagram online and it’s pretty accurate (focusing on declarative memory):

[IMAGE ID: A diagram for long term memory. There are two branches. One branch is declarative memory, things you know you can tell others. Under this branch is episodic memory and semantic memory. The other branch is nondeclarative memory, also know as procedural memory, and these are things you know that you can show by doing. Under this branch is skill learning, priming, and conditioning. /END ID]

So most of BBC’s Sherlock’s mind is full of semantic memories. Semantic memories are context independent, which means that it is not linked to a time or place. An example of a semantic memory would be that the earth goes around the sun, (I had to lol) you don’t need to think of a time or place to retrieve that fact from your memory. This is different from episodic memories which are linked to context. It’s easier to retrieve, however memories can be altered when recalled. An extreme example would be the case of Victor Trevor as Redbeard, although this change is not just due to faults in our human memory, but mainly due to Sherlock’s trauma.

The problem with not having context associated with your semantic memories is that it may be harder to retrieve, especially when learning information not associated with pre-existing information in your brain, low imageability, and/or low concreteness. What the MoL (Method of Loci) does is that it adds more semantic richness to the information by associating it with with a place you’re familiar with. This requires good visualisation skills—which can be trained—to merge the two together.

It is exactly as @ogsherlockholmes and @keirgreeneyes have described above, where the person walks through their place of choice to retrieve information. Users of this technique also tend to create multiple routes within the same space, where each route is a different subsection of information. (It reminds me a bit of the link method of memory tbh)

Now back to the show. Yes, these characters are intelligent, so it makes sense for their ‘mind palace’s to be incredibly detailed and efficient, however I definitely agree that the use of it in BBC has pushed the technique beyond it’s limits.

Because MoL is just a memory technique. What BBC Sherlock has done in the scenes described above is not utilising MoL realistically. Yes, you can associate information with different people in your memory palace, but your mind can’t do that when you’re literally on the brink of death. His brain is compromised by that point, and certain parts of the brain will have greater difficulty retrieving the information with a near-fatal shot like that. Even if we were to argue that Mary intended to shoot Sherlock ensuring his safety and survival, or as safely as a gunshot can be, really, (see @wellingtongoose​ ‘s amazing meta here) there’s still not enough oxygen supplied to the brain for the scene to be realistic.

Even Mycroft says so himself:

SHERLOCK (flailing his hands): I was there, all of it, everything! I was immersed. MYCROFT (lifting his head slightly, gazing at nothing): Of course you were.

...

MYCROFT: The Mind Palace is a memory technique. I know what it can do; and I know what it most certainly cannot.

-The Abominable Bride transcript (part 3) by arianedevere

Granted the context of this scene is slightly different because Sherlock was high, but I still think it’s worth mentioning.

Visualisation would be a more accurate description of what Sherlock does. There have been studies in the past that proved it to be effective for helping (not curing) with anxiety. For example, this nature based guided imagery study. It’s still not that realistically possible for him to have done during that scene, but I think it’s a more accurate descriptor than MoL.

The memory palace is a memory technique, not a mental refuge. Inaccuracies in BBC canon are there as an aid for storytelling. It’s interesting to read and to watch on screen, but it’s not accurate when used in a real-life setting.

Mind Palace

Yes, I know. 

I’m literally cringing as I write this because I know how incredibly pretentious it makes me sound. 

BUT. 

There are so many misconceptions around Mind Palaces (for starters, why are they even called that) and as someone who has actually used a Mind Palace before, I wanted to write a post about the. 

So, before I start, this is going to be a long post, and I want you to forget EVERYTHING you know about Mind Palaces. Chances are, the only Mind Palace you know about is the representation it received on BBCSherlock, since that essentially popularised it. For me as well, that was the first place I learnt about them.

Please, pretend you didn’t see that (I know not everyone hasn’t watched it, so that’s a good starting point). What BBCSherlock displayed wasn’t entirely untrue, but it’s just led to Mind Palaces being seen as an incredibly snobbish and pretentious activity that geniuses do. Honestly, tell someone you have a Mind Palace; the reaction is not desirable. 

But you honestly don’t have to be smart to create a Mind Palace. I mean, I managed, so everyone else probably can.

First off, Mind Palaces (I don’t know what other name to give them, but I don’t think this is the actual name for them) are a memory technique likely created by the Ancient Greeks, and according to the first result on Google, originated when a Greek poet nearly got crushed at a banquet. So, no, Sherlock Holmes did not create this technique. 

Obviously, he popularised it. In a Study in Scarlet, Sherlock describes his MInd Palace to Watson, although he doesn’t call it a ‘mInD pAlAcE’: 

“You see,” he explained, “I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.” 

This is pretty much an exact description of a Mind Palace. So, with that trivia out of the way, here are the things a Mind Palace can’t do, because unlike what TV Shows want you to believe, you can’t actually access your Mind Palace when you’ve just been shot.
