#really wanna play project diva actually

[sad-leon]

Torn between playing rythm games and drawing

I've been fighting the urge to play rythm games for months now cuz the ones on my phone all need to update ;-;

[noellevanious]

hiii :3 what kind of setup do you use for playing project DIVA??? i’ve been thinking about getting one of those custom controllers (like the one you have for street fighter i think?) because the official DIVA controllers are pretty rare bc SEGA don’t give a fuuuuuuuuck about project DIVA :( but in the meantime i like to see how other ppl play since you can customize it so much! also what’s your favorite song on there??

ooh thats actually suuuuch a good question! so originally i just played the psp/ps vita DIVA games, but one of the reasons im getting so into them again is my christmas present to myself is the PC megamix port and a fighting game controller for rhythm games!

(for those unaware, these are basically videogame controllers that use keyboard switches, which have rly low travel time)

i specifically got one of these cause i wanna use it for EVERY rhythm game i like - the layout is perfect for 9-button pop'n too!! im even gonna try a funky setup for guitar/clone hero where the up and down buttons emulate the strumming, though i do still have my actual wii guitar hero guitars too! theyre just a bit more cumbersome to set up :3

i also have an original PSX Pop'n Music controller! Though sadly it doesn't work as a pc controller, the way playstation pop'n controllers function as actual controllers are really weird, at least if u use a pc adapter, some of the right buttons register as holding the right analogue stick down when theyre unpressed, it also costed an ABSURD amount like $70+, but it came with Pop'n 1 and 2 for PSX so i cant complain :3

got tagged in a tag game by @dykedragonrider!!

Last song I listened to: puppet cafe（ぱぺっとかふぇ）by maria marionette! obsessed w it rn. it's so cute. dokidoki happy fluffy idol song

Currently Watching: imagine being able to pay attention enough to actually watch things lol lmao. anyway, i was watching a project diva vod before i left to study? (hoping that counts. i'm really not watching anything else atm. i was literally about to watch videos on japanese grammar before i saw this, but that counts even less imo)

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: i love sweet flavours!!! sweets are my favourite ever. bad with any other flavour combo (eg. savoury, spicy, sour, bitter) except salty tho. i do have a pretty good spice tolerance and love spicy foods too. imo it's sweet >>>>>>> spicy > savoury but i like all three

Relationship status: single (if any of y'all wanna take your shot, go ahead :flushed emoji:, half joking)

Current Obsession: tomodachi life. i own a na cart, but i've been playing it in french (eu version) and japanese (jp version) on my pc. not playing the eu version on hardware because i have an english 3ds (unwilling to change the ui to french, the eu version matches the system language). not playing the jp version on hardware because i'm learning from it. i've been playing this shit every single day i swear to god

So uh, ProSeka Royal Scandal AU?

I've had this idea for a year or two now? But never really did much with it. Mostly due to lacking motivation and time constraints, but I wanna write this down somewhere before I forget it. I thought, "Eh... I have a Tumblr account now, why not use it?"

So here it is, a detailed list of things about my Project Sekai Royal Scandal AU!

CW: heavily suggested TouKasa (this is specifically for the Touya Tenma hc havers)

The whole inception of this AU started with the thought, "Proseka RoySca collab when??" Then cut to 2 hours later, and suddenly I have an AU I just made. With some characters assigned, here are those roles.

1. "Chelsea" / Alicia - Tsukasa & Saki

Saki Tenma, known as "Stella" to patrons, Bar Masquerade's Golden Diva. Tsukasa Tenma, known as "Sirius", an accompanist who plays piano when Stella is on stage

It all started from the "Chelsea" MV, this one MV and my desire to make a TouKasa fic based off of it. It fits well, don't you think? Which then expanded more and more and now I have this...

Originally, Tsukasa was supposed to be the only Chelsea, because why would I need two characters to fill in one role? And this was fine until I had to think about who would be best as Rosetta. And thinking about it more, the gender difference is just, too big of difference to ignore entirely or try to work around. So I shifted the roles a bit and landed with Saki also being Chelsea.

This makes it so that Tsukasa covers more of the romance between Chelsea and Lewis (with mv's like "Bitter Sweet", "Chelsea", and the like). While Saki covers Chelsea's job as a diva and her relationship with Rosetta (REVOLVER and BULLET).

2. Lewis - Touya

Again, all of this started as a TouKasa AU, of course I had to! It's pretty self explanatory as well, Tsukasa-Touya childhood friends? So are Lewis and Chelsea, the MV for Chelsea is also gorgeous and just, pretty fitting for what I have in mind for TouKasa.

3. Rosetta - Ena

I remember it took me a while to actually decide who would be fit to be casted as Rosetta, mainly because most of the Proseka cast are too nice to attempt a murder against a former friend. I started with Shizuku because she's one of the only few childhood friend character that has a connection with Tsukasa, but immediately backtracked because (although I can kinda see it) I don't think that's something that Shizuku would do.

So I picked Ena instead. Her general attitude and personality is perfect for her to be casted as Rosetta, especially with the plotline of her getting jealous of Chelsea because of her popularity as the Red Diva (and also, shitty dad). And I had already thought of putting the next character as Sven first before putting someone as Rosetta, so that helped with the picking process as well.

4. Sven - Mafuyu

Yeah, this one is very self-explanatory. In BULLET, we get to see a sliver of Sven's childhood and its.... bad. He lived his life as a doll with no emotions or control for himself, being controlled by his parents with no regard of self-expression, sounds familiar?

5. Prince Albert - Rui

And this one is also very obvious. With Tsukasa filling in as Chelsea for more of the romance in RoySca, it only makes sense that I make Rui be Albert.

6. Other character's (Side charas and Antagonists)

Lightning Round! Just a few thoughts that are in consideration, but I quite like it so I'm putting it on the list.

a.) Olivia and Alam - Kohane and Akito

As you can see, I actually do have some characters I've casted for Olivia and Alam, but this is still put in consideration because... Was there a reason for me to cast Kohane and Akito as Olivia and Alam? No, nothing really valid honestly, I kinda just ran out of characters from the main cast to use (and the fact that I also really like AkiKoha). Besides, Akito being all love struck and Kohane pulling out a gun would be pathetic and cool (respectively), right?

b.) Aylmer

WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS BOY!!!! The only few things we do know of him are from a few cameos he had in some mvs (notably Bitter Sweet, where he looked really scared when Rosetta pulled out a glass bottle to attack Albert with) and his character info on the RoySca website.

Despite that though, I am thinking about putting Honami as Aylmer, based off of what we have

c.) Lilian, Kevin, and Rebecca (and Bar Masquerade overall)

I had landed with Ken-san as Kevin and an older than the main cast An as Lilian, just to help fill the roster with more Project Seki characters. But that leaves Rebecca still empty, and honestly, I don't know.

d.) Matt, Harvey, and Catherine

I'm kinda playing around with the thought that maybe the Virtual Singers can be the antagonists. The ones I have in mind are Miku as Catherine, KAITO as Matt, and Len as Harvey. I don't know about who the rest could be though...

And that's all I have for now. If you have any ideas, feel free to share if you want! Thanks for reading

Meet the Admin/Artist!

Hello! I am Isabella but you guys can call me Tuna, Sushi, Onion, Well anything actually I am a 14 year old Australian artist and SynthV producer

some personal stuff

I was born in Cairns but moved to Brisbane after moving from Western Australia in 2021, this year I am almost half way through highschool in 8 grade! I draw as a hobby but sometimes will make headcanons or post synthv songs or covers! I am genderfluid but often like to be referred by It/Its. I am also bisexual! I also want to try and animate but can't really find any free animating software's (Pls recommend some that can work on windows laptop :'))

My main interests!

~*...............................................................................................................*~

GANGSTA

I've watched this anime early March or April this year and it is really good! The storyline is very interesting for an anime that was released in 2015 with only 1 season with 12 episodes. It also has diversity! Showing rather accurate looking dark skinned characters! And also showing mixed races!

My most favorite character from the anime is Nicolas Brown. He's a very interesting character and the representation of him being deaf is really realistic, it also surprised me when Worick mentioned he was half asian in episode 5 but it was also so cool to me, his and Worick's backstories were really sad but also interesting to watch, I also loved how the JP va of Tristan from 7DS: Grudge of Edinburgh voiced the young version of Worick. I was also very surprised when I found out Nicolas was also voiced by the JP VA of Nanami (Kenjiro Tsuda) from Jujustu Kaisen!

Another character I like is Cody Balfour, he's so cute and shy I wanna place him into my pocket, he doesn't show up much in the show nor manga but he is very cute I love him, Cody my son :')

Another Character I like is Emilio, he is a rather interesting character since he has black and Chinese heritage, but I feel bad for him since he just wants to have the destroyers help him find Alex who is his older sister but is watching twilights get killed left and right. And its sad how in chapter 38-39 he thinks his sister is dead since the bastard was attacked, my poor child needs a therapist :(

Nanatsu no taizai

I loved this show from when I was about 10 years old which was 3 years ago! My twin brother got me into the anime and I'm very grateful he got me into it. It is such an interesting show and I always and I mean always would talk positively about the show.

I love Estarossa and Mael, their both interesting characters and thats what I love about them! The way Estarossa was first shown in the anime and manga was just a big game changer for me, I just fell in love with him, I also got spoiled from manga images on google when I searched them up to look at Estarossa panels on my tablet which sounds weird but ay, you gotta do what you gotta do, I also already knew that Estarossa was Mael from manga panels but I found it so cool and always admired both of them, my little brain filled with stuff about them and I wouldn't stop thinking about them. I love them both equally!

I also like Dubs and Daliah from Cursed By Light, when they got introduced I thought it was very interesting as we never got to see another giant that was human sized like Diane and never got to see a fairy with an athletic build, but they both were such interesting and I always rewatched the movie, also for some reason I thought they died because I would randomly stop watching the movie and when I realised they were alive in Meliodas and Elizabeth's wedding scene, I just was like "I'm a dumbass lol"

VOCALOID

this was one of the big parts of my childhood and what got me into making SynthV covers and songs, I remember playing Project Diva Future Tone on my PS4 always playing Weekender Girl and Out of the Gravity, but their not gonna count as the first songs I listened to, the first vocaloid song I listened to was either Rolling Girl from Wowaka(Rest in peace, you will be missed Wowaka) or Common World Domination by Pinocchio-p who is currently my favourite Vocaloid producer, fun fact I always pronounced Pinocchio-p's name wrong and pronounced it as Pino-cho-p :')

[olberic]

games ive played in 2022, ranked from least to most favourite:

11: hollow knight (2017)

(i cant find a good gif for this one sorry 🥺)

i tried so hard to like this game. i should like it. its got bugs. its got atmosphere. its got worldbuilding and multiple endings. but god i hate platformers. i hate metroidvanias. this was painful to play and i will not be playing any more.

10: project diva future tone (ps4) (2017)

its a rhythm game so it really cant go any higher. i like it more than megamix (plus using the playstation is better than the switch i think) but yknow. i cant say its got great characters or story yknow? but the songs are good and its fun

9: final fantasy x (2001, switch remaster 2019)

i wish i liked this game more… its good but so watery. such old graphics. idk i just couldnt get into it even if the ending was really good

8. tales of phantasia (1995, gba version 2006)

very surprised at how well it holds up. its a tales game so it ranks higher than it probably should for me, but the characters are fun, the gameplay is fun, and its the first game in the series, so its iconic as hell. the old graphics and lacklustre combat knocked it down a few points (as did the goddamn mines…) but the enjoyment i got from it won out. good game. i played the gba version

7. splatoon 3 (2022)

sorry for not playing the other splatoon games this shit is FUN. salmon run is so good, yall. i put more hours into salmon run alone than most other games ive ever played. stream deep cut

6. ys viii (2017)

im actually still playing this one but MAN is it enjoyable. killer soundtrack. cool time mechanics. challenging combat. nice well rounded cast of npcs (and theres like 20+ regular ones!). makes me wanna try the rest of the series. even tho im kinda peeved that theres like no content for this game here but WHATEVER its good. play ys viii.

5. pokemon scarlet (2022)

yes it had bugs & ur correct to say i shouldnt have bought it. but theyve really perfected pokemon games with this one. open world is the way pokemon is meant to be played. the new pokemon are really good designs. the story was actually riveting at the end, the rivals are up there with sun and sword for how well done they are, koraidon’s one of my new faves, and holy god the soundtrack is good. the literal only thing that would improve it would be if it had a bigger dex and wasnt made in such a rush. i wish this game had come out next year or the year after bc then itd be perfect.

4. triangle strategy (2022)

this is the first strategy game in the genre that ive played, and i enjoyed it! i played it 3 times in a row to get all the endings + ramping up the difficulty made it such a good challenge. npcs couldve been a bit better developed, and the roland/benedict endings were bad to play, but the overall enjoyment of the gameplay and different paths puts it so high to the top.

3. pokemon legends arceus (2022)

i know i said scarlet perfected the series but whatever. ive always preferred catching to battling and arceus did a better job of that. between that and the way your character could actually get involved in things its probably my fave pokemon game ever ehehe 😅

2. tales of arise (2021)

i dont care what anyone says this was a REALLY good entry to the series. i liked the story and the twists. i loved the characters. combat was excellent (law main ↖️) and exploration was more fun than other tales games. might not be my favourite tales game but its better than (almost) everything else from this year!

1. tales of the abyss (2005, 3ds version 2012)

I LOVE THIS GAME. IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED THIS GAME YOUR LIFE WILL BE IMPROVED BY PLAYING THIS GAME. its about identity and tragedy and legacy and remembering the past and respecting the present and growing to care for yourself and your loved ones. its about herding rappigs and falling out of landships and going WHY ARE YOU ME. IM ME. it made me cry. its one of the best tales combat systems. why are you still reading this go play tales of the abyss.

[babylulururu]

Guys this is it

I got tagged for the WIP game

What do I have for wips oh God

The Personal Affairs of Wangsheng Chapter 25

Feels like this one is pretty obvious. It's just Wangsheng. 467 words staring at me like why I won't write the fucking ball scene.

It will be done. I promise.

More below the cut!

Untitled document

I don't know what this is. This is the only thing in the document:

The luminescence of the stars filled the sky, a gentle light that comforted and inspired. Zhongli loved the night sky, and found peace and solace in it's beauty.

The document was last updated on February 9th of last year so god knows what the hell it was about. Lantern Rite? I don't remember.

Matchmaking

What I can only assume was a planned sequel to Dense as a Rock but told through Hu Tao’s point of view. Probably was supposed to be, but the writing on this is kind of meh? Like all that happened was Hu Tao complaining about paperwork then Lumine wanted to go to a domain where she would eventually find the blueprint for the key to Zhongli’s dumbbell.

Monday's Melancholy

A document with no words but was planned to be a Tears of Themis AU where Rosa was an idol and was looking for Luke and ended up turning to Mister Wing for assistance in her search.

Then Raven joins the NXX and things get weird from there.

It was an AU thing where Celestine and Kiki were also in the NXX and Kiki developed feelings for Raven at some point but Wangsheng has basically taken all my writing energy away from me whoops.

Can only handle one longfic at a time.

Head in the Game

A planned Tears of Themis anniversary fic where Rosa has inferiority complex towards Mister Wing and sits and cries while playing a mix of Hatsune Miku Project Diva and Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage.

It has some words but uhhhh here's a snippit:

Hatsune Miku: Sekai Diva. That would clear her head. The rthymn game series that Rosa had played since she was a child. Whenever she would get stressed about something, she would play the game, and her stress would replace her worries with a round of concentration.

So those are words that exist.

Birthday ask

A birthday ask I didn't answer because life sucks and sometimes the wifi just doesn't work and then suddenly the house you cleaned during your birthday gets wiped away in a hurricane and I don't wanna think about this ask I'm sorry I know the person who sent it meant well and I actually have an interesting premise for it and it's somewhat developed but I really don't wanna think about the last time I would ever get to hang out in my grandma's house. ;-;

Pearly White

Another empty doc but was just honestly gonna be a cute Chitao scene with neither of them wanting to get out of bed.

Bookworms

Scrapped Alberose fic where they talked about books or some shit. Can't remember the premise other than it must have been some college/high school AU. Here's some words though.

But there was simply something different about how her classmates in front of her just admired pages as if they were simply art pieces to be looked at for a mere thirty-six seconds before flipping the page to of his book. Sucrose had watched Albedo go through at least three books in the past weeks. What they were about, she couldn't remember. All she knew was that Albedo was extremely talented in his academics and yet he still had time to read in class as if he never studied at all.

Aurora's Light

Scrapped royal AU fic where Rosa was destined to wake the king of Stellis with a kiss. In order to get out of an arranged marriage with Duke Marius, Rosa runs away with her childhood friend Luke to live out in a forest cottage for a few years until vines start taking over the forest. The two basically journey to the castle and beat up a dragon.

There's nothing in this document either. Lovely!

The Duke and the Editors Apprentice

This was a royal modern AU where Lumine works as an apprentice underneath Yae Miko. Miko was gonna set Ayato and Lumine up on a date or something. I don't remember but it was apparently a longfic. Whoops.

Sorry Wangsheng you took over my life.

It wasn't that she didn't like her boss. It was far from the truth; Lumine loved having the opportunity to work under Yae Miko as her secretary and apprentice, but it was certainly not easy. What the public didn't know about Miko was that she was crafty as a fox, always seeming to be planning something or another. Just last week she had managed to create a new persona for a member of an advice column and subjected one of the generals from the army to adapt to it. Lumine was used to Miko's schemes by now, but it didn't make work any less stressful.

Wangsheng Stay Alive Scene

Spoilers for future parts of Wangsheng. :)

The Stoney-Faced Emporer and the Starry-Eyed Princess

Another longfic. Royalty AU with Aether forcing Lumine to attend a ball and to at least consider the Emporer of Liyue as a proper suitor for her.

What I like about this one, other than the fact it has two pages (two! of a wip!), I like the idea of a romcom of Zhongli really playing into a stotic ruler and Lumine wants nothing to do with ruling type things. It's a pretty interesting dynamic I had.

Too bad it's gonna rot in WIP he'll.

Regardless of if that thought had even cross Aether's mind, there were pressing issues at hand that Lumine needed to deal with. She looked at herself in the mirror while one of her retainers, Noelle fixed her hair in time for the ballntonight. How her brother was even able to convince her to go was beyond Lumine's knowledge, but she knew that for the rest of the week, she was resigning herself to the fate of suitors asking to court her, or even worse, marry her.

I have a lot more WIPs but they're over a year old and I don't wanna go back any farther and force myself to read my old writing! I hope you like what I have in my wips that got left in 2022 though.

So now I get to force a couple people to go through wip hell with me! @peachiecure and @mottomottoprecure (don't remember if you have a tumblr that isn't your fanseries account but if you do whoops I forgot it) it's your turn to go through wip hell. :)

[sc3n3kitt3h]

hey kittycita, what rhythm games are you autistic about (this IS a reference to a funny tweet but fr i wanna know some good ones other than just Rhythm heaven

PROJECT DIVA :) tl;dr its a rhythm game but with hatsune miku yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was actually one of my special interests kinda around 2018-2021!!!!! idk why i never rlly mention it on tumblr :P its just never come up i guess. I havent played in a while but i can do up to 9 stars on EXEX or 9.5s on EX!!! just cuz anything above that is way too much 4 me to process XD. ive played a FEW other rhythm games other than diva and rhythm heaven but nothing really scratches that itch like diva does yknow!!! also being able to change the outfits is SUCH a good gimmick to me sorry gamers. i spend way too fuckin long on the module selection screen every time im gonna play a song dude!!!! its so fun though X] one issue i have with the series is that the MVs in the earlier games, ESPECIALLY f2nd looked WAY BETTER!!!!!!! they were just so much more colorful and lifelike!!! also you could see mikus nose and the stupid toon shader, which you CANT TURN OFF in megamix, looks super ugly!!!! but also whatever cuz i can design funny shirts ^_^ yippee

my favorite module is urban pop (miku) and some of my other favs are: lab girl (miku), meteorite (miku), m.s.j. (teto), etoile (miku) (I LOVE THE PHYSICS ON HER DRESS HERE SM IDK WHY X]), pirate (miku), gothic purple (haku), reactor (rin) (I LOVE THE PIGTAILS!!!) and stylish energy r and l (rin and len) :3

[aroace-poly-show]

rating pjsk tiering songs except i am not a super experienced tierer and i’ve only done highish tiers like 3 times these are just ones i know

hitorinbo envy- 1/10 i’m sorry i fucking HATE this song im so tired of it every saa anyo anyo i have to hear takes a year off my life and it would be a 0/10 but its also the shortest song so i dont have to suffer very long and i use it on a daily basis even when im not tiering bc im too tired to want to play the game a lot. but i mute my tablet whenever i do have it play cause its driving me insane i can feel my eyes glaze over whenever i play this one

lost and found- 6/10. really pretty song tbh!! if i hadn’t played it so much before it’d be higher. its a longer song though which means i have to suffer through it more but even then i dont mind playing it i do like this song. would i listen to it outside of pjsk tiering? no probably not but its not the songs fault its just that i’ve had to hear it too much but compared to envy? literal sound of angels above

hatsune miku creation myth- 7/10. i used to listen to this song actually!! i actually don’t know how much of a tiering song this is though. but either way i dont mind it!! its a fun chart and i really wanna fc it on expert sometime again. its just Very Fucking Long also. so im glad it doesn’t come up that much bc i think i would also go insane with this song eventually

melt - 8/10. i got tired of this one a while ago but then i started playing project dive and its grown on me since then. i also dont play this one as much i’ve noticed so i have more appreciation for it now its not that bad. also really satisfying to get that one bit at the end right.

jackpot sad girl- 7/10. this ones more for challenge shows i believe as are the next ones too. anyway i like this mafuyu comm a lot. i dont like the beginning of the master chart though its kinda annoying for me at least. dont have much to say though

viva happy- 6/10. see its really nice to have a change of pace (cause ive been doing nothing but envy or jackpot sad girl for challenge shows when i tier) but this one sounds like one that could get on my nerves pretty fast. but it hasn’t done that yet so it doesn’t get a bad rating. viva viva happy!! turututu <3

cendrillion-6/10. same as jackpot sad girl except i just like the song in general less. also the beginning. the song takes FOREVER to even start i will lose my mind pretty quickly i think. i prefer the project diva version since it gets to the actual playing part a lot faster

idk any other tiering songs if there are any more

[arsenalsquid]

MY VIRTUAL SINGER SONG TIMELINE

I wanna make this as a little story about my earliest connections to Vocaloid/Virtual Singers and how it all led me to loving them.

#1 Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!

Without a doubt, this was the first. All those YouTube videos and internet memes, it was the "Nyan Cat song" of course! But... in reality, it was actually a Miku song, but super sped up. I and many others wouldn't know, so my jaw DROPPED when a friend hovered over the song in Project DIVA, but that wouldn't be until much later. While this wasn't my true start, it would be a long journey.

#2 Senbonzakura and LOL – Lots of Laugh –

Maaany years later, and here I am! My first actual exposure to Hatsune Miku! I'd download a ton of 3DS demos to play, and Project Mirai was one of them. These two would be burned into my mind forever. I even remember going out of my way and searching them up on YouTube, and being amazed by the visuals on arcade/PS4!! I now understood the most basic concept of Miku; someone who sings. I don't remember why I liked this though. I must have seen it as a cute game, with cute songs and fun visuals. But, that would be it. I'd eventually delete the demo, forget about the songs, and move on... but not before...

#3 Kagerou Daze

The first song I encountered on my own! I discovered it while looking at videos of Senbonzakura and LOL, so this was around the same time as that. It was this animated one in particular that I saw the most! I believe I did see the Project DIVA music video, too. I just found myself so enthralled by this, it was so different from the cutesy songs I was just listening to. It was such a heavy feeling song, but the pacing made it so fun to listen to. A feeling that would return later... I listened to these 3 songs a lot, but yeah, I just stopped and didn't really bother looking for more.

#4 Tokyo Teddy Bear

Once again, more years would pass, but this was it. I was having a VRChat session with friends, and one of them put on some virtual singer songs. I didn't really care or pay any attention to them, and just chatted or drew. That is until they put Tokyo Teddy Bear, the Kasane Teto cover. I completely stopped what I was doing and just stared. It was like my friend's voices disappeared and all I could see and hear was this song... and it's visuals. And when it ended, I asked my friend to play it again, and again. It was kind of funny, as they pointed out how I looked just standing still and staring. He showed me some other Teto songs, like Teto Territory and that Fukkireta song.

Afterwards...

I was OBSESSED with Teto. My PFP, reaction gifs I'd send, and non-stop talking for about a week straight. I was so happy to find something I liked this much. And that's when my friend showed me Project DIVA Mega Mix+!! I've come full circle. From there I liked even MORE songs, and after a day or two of him showing me the game, I bought it alongside the DLC, and bam. Vocaloid/Virtual Singer lover forever. Got Project SEKAI, downloaded Project DIVA and Mirai on my PS Vita and 3DS, and got a few merchandise.

I've never felt this obsessed with something in a long while, I think my last thing was Persona 3 back in high school. It's really fun though!! Listening and finding all sorts of new music, seeing the music videos, building my playlist, sharing it with others. I definitely skimmed through a bit, but music means a lot to me. And this form of music is just so amazing to me, a near endless supply of songs to listen to. It makes me so happy. Even the most depressing songs make me happy, because I have something to listen and connect to when I'm down. I love using music as a coping skill !!!!!!

Thank you for reading if you did!!!! This is more of a personal post for me to save >_< My love for this will keep growing :3

[darkvolley]

Every time I lose in MoM I have an immediate "oh no I wasted AP" thought. And then a split second later it occurs to me that I am not playing a gacha game.

VBS and KAITO So youtube keeps putting this in the queue when I play music from it and I do like it but it's not the full cover bc it doesn't exist yet (but its only missing like 20 seconds of the song so its almost the full song) but I find this song fun to play on project sekai. It's kinda sad I already full combo'd it on Master bc I dont have a good excuse to always play it but I do it anyway. The flick near the end that makes the beat map stop to the beat and then it starts up again is so fun and so satisfying when you get the timing down

Currently reading: Doughnuts Under the Crescent Moon by Shio Usui It's a really cute story about two women who despite their flaws find comfort in each other and develop feelings for one another as they learn about each other and themselves. The interesting thing for me that I wanna bring up is I bought all four volumes from barnes and noble and all the volumes are a bit bigger than you usual manga (they are 5.9 x 0.5 x 8.25in as opposed to something like 5 x 0.7 x 7.13 in) and they have a shiny finish over the characters, title and text and a matte finish over the background. However, volumes 1, 3 and 4 have the same weight as your standard manga with lightweight slightly off white page color for them whereas volume 2 uses heavy, white paper like its the kind of treatment id expect for either the first volume or last volume of the series, not the second volume. I'm not complaining it's just odd.

Currently watching: Whenever I draw, I put on Death Note as background noise and I've done it often enough where when I hear it, I get the urge to draw more so than usual. I've re watched it so much I've noticed things I had noticed before the first few times I've watched it like the passage Light reads in like episode 1 or 2 is connected to his feelings in episode 26.

Current obsession: I like making origami stars and filling jars of them. It gives my hands something to do while I'm watching something. But now I have so many jars of them and I wanna give them away but i dont know who would want them. I also like playing rhythm games sometimes ill get the urge to play project diva or groove coaster and just play them into the night.

Last song: Lady (Hear Me Tonight) by Modjo. Okay so my boyfriend has a playlist of like 800 songs from a bunch of different genres and artists (because youtube mashed his individual playlists together) from Primus to Simon & Garfunkel to Animal Collective to Bosnian folk war songs, so I've been going through and picking the ones that I like and put them in a playlist that we can listen to in the car that isn't huge and we have to skip half the songs. (lol let me know if you wanna see it)

Currently reading: Imagine reading. I haven't read in years and I hate audio books because I just tune them out. I guess I've been reading Oshi no Ko since the first season ended, but like novel wise I have Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (since I loved reading the Martin in high school).

Yell at me to read maybe.

Currently watching: Another boyfriend influenced pick, Girls Last Tour. We're going to be cosplaying them at Anime NYC so I figured I should watch it. But other stuff I've watched recently is Skip and Loafer (which was SUPER cute), BOFURI (reminds me of Chuchu tbh <3), and Bocchi the Rock!

Current obsession: Boy howdy do I like crocheting. Right now I'm working on a vest but after that me and one of my friends are going to go to Rhinebeck for the Wool Festival where a bunch of knitters and crocheters go since they sell yarn there. But infamously for Rhinebeck is the Rhinebeck Sweater, which is a sweater that you make specifically for the festival, so I'll be working on that next. Also it's still pretty empty, but my instagram for crafts is @ekotts_krafts if you wanna see what I'm making. I also love rhythm games, so I've been playing SIF2 (which is dog shit unfortunately), Wonder Dai Star literally came out yesterday but I'm playing that, and I've opened D4DJ and Project Sekai recently, but not too much actual playing. Of course I'm always obsessed with Chuchu, my Lord and Savior. I've literally bough yarn and nail polish and stuff because it reminded me of her. Speaking of, nail polish is another thing I've been into recently. I've been ordering from indie polish makers on Polish Pickup, which has a theme every month. They put up the polishes to look at the week before they go live for sale (the first weekend of the month) and then you have that weekend to order.

been debating bout sharing these dudes for a bit cause like, the Elite Beat Agents tag is very inactive rn and I don’t want to clutter it with my fan project ocs, but I do really wanna share them so I’m saying screw it and making a big ol post about them. most of which will be under the cut! before that though, here’s the pitch for this sequel idea, Elite Beat Agents: Music Lives!

It’s been ten years since the events of the first Elite Beat Agents game, however not all is well. over the years the EBA has disbanded, and with that, it’s agents have slowly been going missing, until only J was left. However, it’s not all bad news! there’s a new group in town, lead by a 20 year old named Jack, ready to fill the void the EBA left in their absence. Because even if the Elite Beat Agents are gone, Music Lives!

alrighty,  also before we get onto the characters, here’s a logo mockup I made

anyways, lets get into characters! here’s the top row we have our main playable group! they take up the group of who you’d play as throughout single player mode. 

K (She/her) and Ray (he/him) are the backup dancers, with jack (he/they) being the player character for Normal mode, Lewis (they/them) being easy and quincy (They/She) being hard. The player characters were all inspired to become elite beat agents via the actions of various agents during the rhombulan attack. I don’t have all of them fleshed out yet, but this is when Jack get’s chieftain’s hat. K was inspired by her dad to go after this life, cause her dad is agent J! she was also partially raised by the other agents before they went missing cause like, Found family is a really good trope. Ray’s was more inspired by his father’s tales of the Ouendan over in japan, but cause he lived in america, the EBA life seemed like the closest he could get to helping people the way the ouendan did. 

Next up is this game’s version of the divas! 

Wolf (she/her) is the leader of this group, and she’s Foxx’s kid. Like K she was inspired to do this stuff by her mom! but now that she’s missing, Wolf is getting help from her friends to find her. her friends, by the way are Jace (they/them) and Callie (She/her)! Jace is Ray’s twin sibling and callie is Wolf’s childhood friend (soon to be girlfriend, they get together during a song in the game) and they do show up in singleplayer asides from that song, even if you’re not playing their difficulty mode. they help whoever you’re playing as get a lead on where the agents have vanished!

and lastly, a fun case, the Traveling Cheer Squad! 

The reason these guys exist was I wanted to put an ouendan-inspired group into the game! June (he/they) and July (They/them) are half siblings who moved over to the states from japan, where they experienced the ouendan first hand. and they wanted to start something like that over here! They wrap their friend Elena (She/They) into it as well, and they’re a fun case cause like... you meet them in the game because they’ve disbanded, cause they weren’t the best at cheering people on. however Elena still wants to help people so she gets the new eba peeps to help show her how, which also gets june and july back into the swing of things! they are also playable for a song in the end game of singleplayer mode, as for Plot Reasons the eba gang are out of commission. other than that they’re mainly playable for multiplayer mode.

anyways that’s pretty much it for now. I have a lot of Thoughts on these buds but the EBA tag is not very active currently so I don’t want to clutter it with ocs when people look for art of the actual characters. Other than that, I hope y’all enjoy them!

hi y’all! my name’s blue and this is my good sis luna! you can find some info on her below! 

luna song was spotted in the fashion district adorning red bottoms , with some airpod pros on . they’re most likely listening to love me 4 me by rina sawayama . you may know them as @lunasong or as that rosé lookalike . their twenty-third birthday just passed . while living in tribeca , they’ve gained a bit of a reputation . they’re known to be ruthless but on the other hand captivating . wonder if they’ll be the next person to hit the headlines . [ ciswoman / she/her + blue / 24 / she/her ]

she’s 2nd gen & gave her parents gave her a korean name mainly to appease their parents and one in english. her korean name is ae-cha while her english name is luna. pretty much everyone calls/has always called her luna except her grandparents and sometimes her fanbase in korea.

she grew up in one of the boroughs and her family was middle class.

grew up knowing/speaking korean and english.

she had three best friends growing up, and they did practically everything together. they were in their tweens when luna got the idea that they should start a girl group, like so many that they always listened and looked up to and her friends readily agreed. 

they were still young so people didn’t take them seriously at first, much to a 12-year-old luna’s chagrin. but they were actually pretty good. in the beginning they didn’t know how to read sheet music super well yet and mostly did covers so luna would help with figuring out which parts each of them would sing and scheduling rehearsals, even pestering classmates into getting them gigs. (sidenote: luna’s group/bandmates are a wanted connection and on the main if you wanna know a little bit more you can click here! I’d love to have some/all of her groupmate spots filled!)

her parents were always super supportive of the group and were driving them to competitions, auditions, etc. luna was driven and annoying as hell in the way she pestered all these grown ass adults and even recording labels into trying to hear them/let them in to no avail. 

it wasnt until luna was 16 (about seven years ago) that they were able to actually get signed to a record label. at first no one took them seriously and no one wanted to sign them because people insisted that girl groups didn’t do well, didn’t last long, that people didn’t like them, etc. and there was a lot of back and forth over creative differences, as by that point the girls wrote their own music. 

BUT, their debut album actually did surprisingly well and better than even their management expected. soon they were having their music videos features on disney channel tv breaks, playing on the radio, getting lots of views on youtube. they were everywhere and people seemed to like the “realness” of their story--it made for good interviews and whatnot. 

they continued on like that, dropping three more albums which broke records, lead to worldwide tours, won grammys, lead them to several tv cameos, and even their own movie (think spice world but like better/funner plot, although still not super serious cinema) and documentary. they’re absolutely HUGE now, think peak destiny’s child type shit. they had their own reality tv show at one point, perfume, and even a make-up line with different shades and colors to match each girl’s “personality”. 

the aspects of their personality were played up a little bit to make them more marketable, i.e. one was the more “sporty” one, one was more “free-spirited”, etc. and how they’re styled usually reflects that, although now that they’re pretty established and older, they’ve been able to kind of be less characterized and more themselves. 

luna’s personality was always kind of the diva/primadonna meets relatable girl next door type role. basically she was just always dressed usually very hyper-feminine and has always publicly been considered/seen as kind of the “leader” of the group. 

that doesn’t come from nowhere because she’s very driven. she’s work hard play hard but you gotta tear her away from her email account enough for her to play hard. she’s nice and friendly but can be kind of intense. her biggest fear is not growing into her full potential. 

she knows how to play basic guitar and piano but her two main talents are her singing and ability to harmonize and understand different parts of music and her lyricism. 

can definitely be a drama queen at times. 

very adamant about using her platform to speak up for things when she can. her and her group faced a lot of hardships and discrimination within the industry because they were made up of a group of young women of color and she wants to make it easier for others to achieve their dreams, even if they weren’t born famous or rich. 

can definitely be judgement and bossy at times but will also 100% be there for you and supportive of you when you need her. 

she’s bisexual but the media hasn’t really caught wind of that yet. in the past, her management was adamant that she hide it but now it’s a thing where even if she is spotted with a girl, it’s very “just gals being pals” type headlines that usually come from it. 

she’s smart about her image and pretty much everything she does can make headlines. she’s usually pretty good about keeping her shit in line. she’s had advantageous relationships, both for pr and forreal and she’s something of a trendsetter in a lot of cases. luna dates someone and they’re hollywoods hottest couple, luna wears something and suddenly everyone on instagram is wearing it too. 

does a lot of philanthropy and likes to travel whenever she can. 

she’s friendly and open but don’t piss her off or stand in her way or be on some bs ‘cause she’s helped her and her girls fight their way to the top and she can be ruthless to her enemies, though only when she absolutely has to be. she probably has a little too much fight in her for her own good. 

constantly rumors of her going solo. her and her bandmates have an understanding where they’re chill with doing some individual work (i.e. releasing a single, doing a movie or tv show, starting their own fashion line, etc.) because they know the group’s more important and they’re always coming back to it but luna lately has been kind of worried they’re going to split up and she doesn’t want them to because they’re basically like sisters to her at this point since they grew up together. 

admittedly, luna does want to release her own solo album and she has been brought other projects but the group comes first and they’re working on their fifth studio album together. 

can probably find her working late or running off in the middle of something because she suddenly gets an idea. she also carries this cute lil notebook around with her for jotting down ideas and yes she could technically use her phone but she likes the tangibility of physically writing stuff down.

she always grew up in a house that was very much a home--always open to other people and her parents always willing to bring in food and entertain for the holidays, etc. and that’s how she likes her place now. she’s made her house just how she likes it and the door’s always open if you need someplace to crash for the night and no matter the hour, she’ll put the kettle on, whip up or order some food, and get the guest room ready. 

that’s luna! i’m working on a connections/wanted connections page now but in the meantime, my messages are open to plot or if you like this i can come to u!
