UNDEAD but Volleyball!

[whereserpentswalk]

They say there's a city, somewhere in the US, nobody is allowed to know exactly where, where nobody lives. It could be in any state, some people say it's between Philadelphia and New York along the roads of New Jersey, some people say it's out in the Californian desert in the shadow of Los Angelos, others say it's out in the fields of Illinois south of Chicago. Maybe it's in all of them, maybe there are many, maybe they move.

People have driven through it. They're not allowed to say that they did but some of them do. It looks like a normal city at first, not particularly interesting, very modern in all the worst ways, with an endless sprawl and built up downtown, no way to walk anywhere and no public transportation, it would be a small unremarkable city if not for the emptiness. If you're there during the day there just aren't any people, there at all. If you look closely, you'll notice there aren't any animals or plants either, the lawns are Astroturf, and the trees are plastic, rats and birds and crawling bugs know well to avoid it. Even the cryptids and vampires and flying saucers know to steer clear of it. Only humans lack the instincts to avoid it.

Most who come by it just drive through it, maybe it'll seem off, but most forget it, cities built like that are rather empty anywhere. But if you have to get out it becomes so much worse. You'll step into a gas station, or a store, or fast-food place. And you'll just be faced with nothing. Oh, everything they need to have in there is there, it's perfect, everything is so very clean, and well stocked, it's the perfect model location. But there's nobody there, there's nobody anywhere. You can go anywhere there, from the Starbucks to the 7-11, and it'll be the perfect model that even a ceo would be proud of, like an ad, like a stock photo, everything in it's perfectly regulated place, it's just empty. The only thing everything is missing is people. It's not abandoned, just empty.

Now, fewer have been there at night, so we cannot be sure of this, but there are of course theories. Some say, that when it gets dark, truly dark, when there's no sun at all, under the starless sky of a country filled with light, the residents come out of their homes. They may look human at first, but the smell, the blank eyes, the pale skin, will make it clear they are not. The living dead, in every house there's at least one, and most houses have more, zombie husbands and wives with their 2.5 zombie children. They're not slobbering monsters though, they may be zombies, but they're civilized zombies, and at night they go about their business, copying the human world perfectly.

Undead businessmen will get in their cars and drive to their offices, typing random nonsense on their computers, and going to meaningless meetings, with their zombie bosses yell at them. Zombie housewives will expressionlessly take their children to school, where they'll sit as their zombie teachers babble word salad, something that almost sounds like human speech but has no meaningful words, at them, pretending to teach them something humans would learn. And zombie service workers will happily go to their jobs as cashiers, exchanging money they could never know the amount of, for good and/or services, and in their restaurants making food for customers to look at, and sit with, and pretend to eat, even though they of course cannot it. It's all unconfirmable, but it's at least been officially denied. And of course, for those foolish enough to stay the night there, the town will find itself with new residents.

And some even say the zombie's necromancer is somewhere in the city. Perhaps she's a lich now, having built up the city from a small town of zombies decades ago, now living somewhere at the center of the city, pickled in a glass tank, or siting on a throne of humming wires and tubes all grey and shriveled. Or perhaps she has passed on the torch, and it's now her granddaughter or great granddaughter, watching over the city, making sure it runs perfectly, sitting there in secret with a little black dress and sunglasses and a black hat over her golden hair, somewhere in the endless sprawl, making sure her children are all well behaved and functioning properly. It's normal to wonder why she does this. They say a witch's or warlock's mind is unknowable but it's safe to speculate. Some people think she's building an army, but there are faster ways to do that, ways that don't require an entire city. Some say she makes money off of it somehow, but I know enough about these things to know she can't. Personally, I think she was just trying to create her idea of the perfect city, a place with no social problems, a little lobotomized utopia in the void.

If you want to get into Enstars lore...

With the upcoming prsk collab, I'm sure it's attracting people genuinely interested in learning Enstars lore. (Or if you're someone who's been playing Enstars but hasn't been engaging in the lore) In that case, do NOT start with the Reminiscence series, but instead, I highly recommend to read the Main Story first before anything else. You can read it through the English server, BUT if you want to know the very start of Enstars lore, read Basic/! era Main Story. (However, the unfortunate side is that Enstars doesn't really allow fan translations...)

You'd see people recommending stories from the Reminiscence series (Checkmate, Crossroad, Element, Marionette, Meteor Impact, Obligatto, etc.), but I highly advise to NOT read them if it's your first time learning Enstars lore — this was my mistake when I was a new fan lol. But if you do already know tidbits about Trickstar and Jin & Akiomi, then I do recommend reading their Reminiscence stories, which are Rocket Start and Guilty of Perjury respectively since it mainly tells their formation and initial dynamic with each other. The other Reminiscence stories I mentioned deal with heavy topics and require knowledge from ! era Main Story, so I really advise reading those first. It would give you a wrong impression of the characters (which is why I didn't like Shu and Eichi when I was new because my introduction to them was through Marionette💔 I'm a big ValkyrieP now though and i also love fine!)

If you want story recommendations for specific units (particularly Valkyrie, Knights, Switch, Akatsuki, 2wink, Trickstar), just send me a DM! I'm super willing to help anyone who wants to learn more about these lovely units

I ranked enstars trip albums by how much i want to wear the outfits.👍🏾 rambling below cut

fine - tori makes this outfit look so cute but i just dont think it would look that good on me 😔 also i dont like pants that hang above my ankles. the fit itself is super cute and i have nothing against it tho

trickstar - another one where it looks really cute on the characters but i just dunno if it would fit me, also aside form the accessories it does seem a bit like just a regular dark colored suit...

ryuseitai - i've been a power rangers girl for years and this outfit looks so cool, like even if you take away how much symbolism it has for ryuseitai i would still want to wear it

alkaloid - the outfit is just so cool. like look at it i wanna wear that shit so bad, one qualm is that it does look a bit heavy/hot but its a worthy sacrifice tbh

eden - its the green. if it were literally any other color scheme it would be in "eh" but that shade of green would not work w me

valkyrie - its not as elaborate as some of the other outfits so thats why it isnt as high but i would still absolutely take it if it was given to me......corset.....

2wink: its fun!!! its so fun i love the flare-out shorts and their high laceup boots and their little hats with their colors<33 if i were to be specific i would probably pick hinatas bc i think purple/pink looks better on me

crazy b - another fun looking one! while in practice i dont know how much i would like it in theory i adore the jeanjacket/jacket over hoodie combo, the sneakers and jeans just pull the whole outfit together and it does feel like something i could wear weekly!

undead - i moved this one up while making the post bc i took a proper look at it and yea. i would definitely want to wear this one. blue's my favorite color so the general dark blue+ color palette along with the flowy material at the wrists and waist make it look soooo fun

ra*bits - i would commit crimes to wear this outfit. im being so serious ra*bits wins best trip album outfit award

akatsuki - in general the traditional japanese style outfits akatsuki wears seem like they would be fun to wear, they also however look. very heavy. i do really like the patterns and flow of the clothing tho so i would def wear it to try if i could!

knights - it looks cute but it genuinely just doesnt stick out as something i want to wear all that much

switch - pink crop top👍🏾

double face - tbh the only thing keeping it from the "eh" cateogory is the pattern on the outfit, the space/nebula print is sooo pretty<33

This might be a reach but I think UNDEAD deviating from the “dark bad boy” aesthetic they usually have means something here

Yuma Yamaguchi, UGMF composer: This animation takes place between the late 19th and early 20th century. If the story was something like realistic fiction, I might have considered making the music more fitting to that time period. However, when I read the plot the first time, I felt it’s more like fantasy and has a bit of everything; action, mystery, adventure and also some historical flavor. So in the end, I went with a more modern sound.

This is the 30th track off the soundtrack. What stands out is the piano and the percussion department. Every time it plays in the background you can feel the intensity of the action scenes.

You can watch Yuma’s musical processes for the series here.

im gonna make playlists for everyone actually im having fun listening to music i dont usually listen to

[yume-fanfare]

obsessed with all of these queer women npcs as of late. ensemble girls 2.0 but it revolves around the apparently existing all female ES when akira

heres what we are going to do for ES 2 (or 3 i guess its 3). we let miss ideasama open her all-female idol company. she quits rhylin and it Bankrupts. love wins. hashidate amano helps sponsor said company so they will actually have a friendly-enough ? relationship with eichi. maybe even manage a coexistence of sorts (since amano is both friends with eichi and rich enough that he can't overpower her) (idea is already cooler than eichi and has money for it too). AND we bring negi back somehow. please. or at least hitsugi have him as a lead producer.

Bridget and Elite Knight, Oscar holding British Flags, One is Happy and the other is Ashamed... I wonder why...

(oscar from dark souls being british is just my headcanon and i hope people DO NOT think the elite knight is transphobic because that is not what i'm implying and is okay with trans women like bridget from guilty gear...)
