“So, are we getting married or what?” “That depends...you dig up another ancient Sith warblade from somewhere?” “As long as you don’t ask where I got it from.”

So yeah, here we go again! I just watched 3rd n 4th eps of hazbin hotel so, again, my thoghts abt it. Idk if i really need to put spoilers warning anymore, but ig ill do it just in case. As with previous post there will be some screenshots.

HAZBIN HOTEL EP 3-4 SPOILERS WARNING!

So tbh i dont have much to say about 3rd ep. Overall it was a really cute ep where everyone kinda got along. Also we met alot of new overlords (that one giant wolf girl was cool as hell) n got a few bop songs. I really like all new voices we got here. Also Velvette was killin in this ep, like slay queen!! Also i didnt know this girl (idk her name srry) was Carmillas (idk if spelled the name correctly--) daughter, that really suprised me.

Ok 4th ep... I have alot to say about it. First of all when that Angels moive started i was like: WTH S GOIN ON WHAT????? Then i thoght that its Angels dream (or nightmare-) n that wolf guy was representation of Valentino. N then when its all started i was like: Oh. I get it.

Speaking about Val, when all that fire started n he opened his wings, that was FUCKING BEAUTIFUL N I REALLY DIDNT EXPECT HIM TO HAVE ACTUAL WINGS, I WAS LIKE: :O I FOR REAL ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST A FUR COAT--- ok n thats literally the only good i can say about Val by now.

That one awful scene with Val n Angel was literally so scary... Ive never been in SA, ive never had such "experience" (and thank GOD for that), but i know that feeling of fear when you just in trap and you cant do anything, i know how that feels to be abused, when you just hiding in corner feeling so fucking scared that you gonna get beated up n yelled again, you KNOW that will happen and you just wait for it in terrify, you literally feel yourself like a little child who cant do anything, you want to share your problems to someone, just wanna cry to someone, but you cant and you need to pretend that everything is okay. I was so scared for Angel in that scene and i really felt it. And the way Angel tried to make Charlie leave before that all happened.. Yes, he definetly knew whats gonna happen n thats so scary...

Anyway OMG VOX HIIII!!!!!! :DDDD

BTW THE FACT THAT HES HOLDING VALS HAND LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO KISS IT----- THIS SHIP IS TAKING OVER MY BRAIN PLS SEND HELP

Yeah, yknow what really strange thing about all that? Is the fact that Val s obviously a horrible person consindering all the things he done to Angel, but he is still an ENJOYABLE CHARACTER. Like- ofc that awful abusive scene was not enjoyable at all, but for some reason i just cant hate him!! I TRY BUT I JUST CANT N THATS SO WEIRD. probably its because i know its not a real person, its just a character but still-

Also (someone pls count how many times i used this word-) i really didnt expect to see an ACTUAL SEX SCENES IN THE SONG. Ig i shouldve expect it n i kinda did, but i still didnt-

Also this little scene made me fucking cry, for real. But not the fact that Angel crying made me cry, but his line: "If i end up broken, I wont be his favourite toy anymore. And maybe he'll let me go.."

I dont know why this exact line made me cry, but it did and i think this is awesome, because they really made me care for Angel, even tho, again, ive never experienced such feelings so i cant relate to that, but i still feel so bad for him.

Ok can we talk about that Husk was AN OVERLORD??? I WAS LIKE: WHAAAAATT????

And OF COURSE that one Husk n Angels song. You already know how i feel about it so im not even gonna talk bout it! SIKE‼️I WILL!!!!! THIS SONG IS SO FRICKIN CUTE, THE FACT THAT HUSK STARTED TO JOKINGLY (or maybe not jokingly-) SAYING THAT ANGEL IS A LOSER TO BRIGHT HIM UP IS ACTUALLY SO SMART! THEYRE BOTH SO CUTE TOGETHER SINGING AND HOLDING HANDS FOR A LITTLE TOO MUCH!!! AND THIS SONG IS MUSICALLY ALSO SO AMAZING, ITS LITERALLY MY STYLE OF SONGS, MAYBE MY NEW FAV SONG I CANT REALLY TELL RN! And the meaning of this song is really good too. Whatever is happening to you, unless youre not alone, everything is better!

Andddd everything is ended quite good and wholesome! They came to the hotel, Charlie apoligized and everything is good!!

soooo yeah! Thats it i guess! Im pretty sure im gonna edit it if i remember something else i wanted to say, but thats it by now!

My review/thoughts on eps 1-2

My review/thoughts on eps 5-6

My review/thoughts on eps 7-8

seeing you post about obsidian is making me curious about it. What plugins do you recommend for it? Also, how do you organize your vaults? I'm very intrigued by it, but idk if it's worth switching all my information over for the 3rd or 4th time...

hi anon!

i've actually got a rough draft of a plugins rec post in the works, but off the top of my head some of my favourites are:

dataview for the ability to pull information from metadata and create auto lists/tables

hover editor for being able to have 'hovering' popups, thus adding to the amount of windows and tabs you can have open at any one time to edit in

omnisearch is my fave replacement for core search, since it searches better through your files

outliner if you like making lists and want to be able to reorganise them quickly

smart typography changes quotes to curly quotes, dashes to em dashes and periods to ellipses

tag wrangler if you're using tags for organisation (makes it easy to edit them)

workspaces plus + Advanced URI for setting up multiple workspaces for different projects and ease of switching between them. this is my gamechanger, this is how i run all my obsidian. workspaces are king

as for vault organisation - it's really really down to how you best deal with information. I use folders for categories, and then i use what a lot of obsidian folks would call 'too many' folders to subcategorise.

cut for length & screenshots:

my main vault categories look like this:

'meta' is where images, technical info, templates and stuff go, and i have a folder like that in all three of my vaults (main, Valloroth, and D&D)

then i have larger buckets for areas of my life, and everything goes in a bucket, unless i don't know what i'm doing with it, then it goes in Primordial Ooze (and gets ignored until i remember that folder exists TT_TT)

the Valloroth (aka renegade prince) vault looks like this:

(the numbers are from the novel wordcount plugin, which puts total wordcount next to files and folders. i'm test driving it, not sure how much i like it yet)

so again, my main strategy is to have the largest possible 'bucket' as a top level folder, and then subcategorise within that. so for example, in 'world' I have this:

I based my categories on similar ones I was using in a different worldbuilding app, but I've seen people do varying ways of managing it.

really there are as many ways to organise as there are people. Some obsidian folk use no folders, and just link everything, some people use systems like PARA, or Zettelkasten, or Linking Your Thinking, or mish-mashes of multiple things. Mine is a bastardised take on Johnny Decimal, that i've made work for me, and use across vaults and also to organise my non-obsidian files.

i was also moving my notes for the umpteenth time when I switched, and the main things that sold me are really all the things I listed in my post. the thing of it is, if you move and you don't like it, all your notes are in plaintext. easy to extract, and access, and (depending on program) move to somewhere else.

obsidian does have a bit of a learning curve, not gonna lie. but every friend i've convinced to try it has been delighted by what they can do with it. i'd recommend trawling through the discord and youtube communties, and the resources on the hub. make a test vault, put a little bit of info in it to play with. don't try and do everything at once - take it in pieces or it gets overwhelming.

i hope this was helpful! feel free to ask for clarification or ask more questions, i am (as is evident) always down to talk about obsidian.

Voiceplay-adjacent Visuals: Way Down

Geoff's cover of Way Down was released on the 4th of June, 2022, and it is one of my 3 favourite videos (no particular ranking/order) on his channel so far! I might hit image limit for this one, I'm not sure, but I'm not gonna try and be conservative with my screenshot taking, because this video is too much fun! So let's go!

This was filmed at Pattycake Productions Studios, and I wanna know who was in charge of/helped with set design for this one. Was it Geoff? Was he the one that made the mess? 😝😂

Ayyyy

(And yes, that genuinely is the track image/graphic for the track on Spotify and other music streaming platforms!)

*looks left, nobody there*

*looks right, nobody there*

"Alright down I go!" 😂

Thumbnail moment! (Also he kinda looks a bit different with his hair like that doesn't he?)

Geoff says in the description of this: "I had a LOT of fun making this one, and I hope ya'll enjoyed it too, despite the um...terrible dancing." It certainly does look like he had a ton of fun with this one, but I beg to differ on the "terrible dancing" bit! He enjoyed himself, he looked amazing, and I love every second of this video! Terrible my foot!

He just looks so happy in this video!!!

Honestly I kinda sorta wanna learn this choreography (or at least parts of it) myself, but I don't exactly have enough empty space in my house to be spinning around a broom like he does at one point here 😅

(And of course I have to give a shoutout to Eli "lighting whiz" Jacobson for the lighting design!)

Speaking of Eli, that's a hella strong eyebrow raise! Eli got competition! 😝

(Also kinda jealous because my eyebrows absolutely refuse to work independently of each other like that, rip)

Right, so the first glove comes on at about 1:24...

(Also lighting change on the curtains in the background!)

Hey there, Jeff! Nothing to see here! 😁

Hi, Jeoph! 😋

I'm not posting a screenshot of it, but if you've seen the video (of course you have, that's why you're here reading this), you know FULL WELL what Jeoph and Jeff are reacting to here 🤣

Geoff really did that, he really put it in the video and everything! (We have to stan, obviously)

Geoff did the chair-walk(?) dance move thing! Not easy to do, especially with chairs like that on a smooth, glossy/shiny floor, and it looks like he only just landed that based on the way it cuts away, but still, I'm impressed!

Jeoph and Jeff are impressed/surprised, too! 😄

And the whole janitor outfit/uniform gets removed at about 1:58, meaning those gloves were worn for just a little over 30 seconds 🤣

(Also nice shirt 👀)

Rip Jeff

Jeoph: Waayyyyy dooowwwnn

Jeff: "wait since when could you sing like that? And when were you going to tell me?" 😂

(Joke stolen from a Youtube comment, just too good)

No amount of screencaps could do it justice but goddamn Geoff's hips do not lie in this video! He got moves! (Sure, he has people to help him with choreography (shoutout to Chris Dupre for this one!), but knowing a choreography routine is one thing; being able to do it and do it well is another)

"Oh uh, hey there boss! What a surprise to see you here! Nothing much happening right now, totally!"

*swoon*

Someone in some Youtube comment, on a reaction video I think, referred to Geoff "flirting with the camera" in this video, and I was like "hey yeah, he's totally flirting with the camera here!" (do it more)

Man, if I had a nickel for every time there was a brown-haired dude living in Florida who was good at singing and sometimes did songs with "clones" of himself, who had different names/nicknames and interacted with each other, well, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice!

(Even weirder is that the other guy used to be one of my previous hyperfixations, and when I eventually got around to watching this video last year, I kind of got a feeling of "oh no it's happening again!" 😂😅)

Yes I love him, what about it?

So apparently the names/nicknames for these three came from the various incorrect ways that Geoff has seen his name spelled. And it's like... okay, "Jeff", yes, I've seen that on a couple or so Voiceplay videos (his name is literally in the description! And there are always comments that talk about him! (but it is still the somewhat more common spelling of the name I guess)), "Goff" is likely just a missed-letter typo, but "Jeoph"? Jeoph??? Who the heck came up with that misspelling? 🤣

"Way onnnnn d o o o w w w n n n n" (subharmonic C1!!!!)

And yes, I've officially hit picture limit, so no screencaps of the mini bonus scene at the end - you'll just have to go (re)watch that part yourself! 😁

Can you believe that Geoff does not only the singing and performing on screen, but also the arranging, producing, and editing for his covers too? And he directs or co-directs them!

This video is 3 minutes of complete and utter serotonin and I love it. I really hope we get to see more of Geoff dancing in 2024, whether on his channel or with Voiceplay. And honestly with the super-wide variety of music content across the two channels, it's entirely possible!

feelings tag, sims edition - I am borrowing this from @akitasimblr bc it was just so interesting to think about.

"The boss of EA is in front of you asking for one statement about The Sims before he goes away and makes TS5. What do you say to him?"

was Journey to Batuu worth it you motherfucker?

"Do your Sims know you as their Sim God or are you the invisible deity to them?"

I mean I occasionally break the 4th wall and sometimes my sims seem to be aware that they are sims. but if I'm being serious about it then I'm really just an impartial camera in their lives. a detached third party. like even what I write for the Lucky stories are determined by dice rolls and not me lol so. I don't think of myself as a deity.

"How do you see yourself connected to your Sims? Do those of you who say you love them, really mean this? How deep is your game?"

well, seeing as I'm still playing these games and I'm still largely enjoying them, yeah I'm pretty connected to them. although if TS5 really is live service or whatever then I'm really not going to play it lol.

I think of some sims I've had, some of their stories and their lives, and yeah I get a lil bit emo. the same goes for my friends' sims! I miss them too. as for depth...I mean I dunno it's probably not all that deep for me. I think the sims is just a toy. I don't necessarily want too much of real life to seep into it bc real life sucks ass.

"What’s your Sims Secret? Is there something going on in your game that none of your screenshots will ever tell us? WHO IS LOCKED IN YOUR BASEMENT? What are those secret Sims doing behind closed doors?"

girl I post my sims fucking, there is nothing secret going on there lmfao. sometimes I revert to my TS1 days and pick sims that piss me off and put them in Hazardous Situations. I'm looking at you knox greenburg.

"Can we learn anything from our Sims to take away for our real lives? And/or can you give us an example of how The Sims has influenced you outside of gaming?"

this is MILDLY ironic but also kinda not: you know how in TS4 sims' moods change on the flip of a dime and they go through it multiple times a day? even bad moodlets have an end to them, and at the end of it your sim is just ... Fine. it'll be alright.

💜🏵️💎😑

@nebulous-apocrypha combining these asks together:

this post got pretty long so under a readmore it goes

🚫 (is there a storyline you’ll never play?) - is seeking too obvious? i mean, i'm sure it's the one plenty of people would also answer this question with, but like. i don't have any particular interest in seeking the name, even without the whole perma-death thing, it just doesn't seem that interesting from what i've heard. (also i have to admit candles actually seems kind of annoying as a character just based on the bits of text i've seen (from others' screenshots))

'uhhh basically most fate storylines' seems like a bit of a non-answer. i guess there's the stuff related to 'a player of chess' that i never acknowledge because i forget it even exists as an attribute the majority of the time

💜 (top 5 favorite npcs) - only 5.... hmm. for the purposes of this i'm making a distinction (that i can't put into words) between 'favourite npc' and 'favourite character', even though i guess they're just the same thing in this kind of context, but like, there's just a difference you know?

april (<- this one is predictable i think. probably obvious why in terms of her as a character but also seeing her dialogue in the laboratory is always fun)

the drummer in the depths (<- i do wish there was more to do in regards to the drummer apart from like. visiting him once and then occasionally getting his vote on railway board matters.)

the mercies (<- but i guess really mostly lettice)

either mathilde, montgomery, or gulliver (the rats that accompany the coquettish, curt, and capering relickers, respectively) (<- they can share 4th place i guess. idk i just think they're neat. all four relickers themselves are also 'just think they're neat' though. actually maybe #4 is just 'the relickers and associated rats, in general, with the exception of pinnock')

february (<- she wouldn't be in my top 5 favourite characters, but i like seeing her dialogue on the occasions when she appears, so i might as well put her as #5 here)

🏵 (what accomplishment are you proudest of in the game?) - i don't really have an answer to this one, i guess maybe completing my ambition and the railway? but that seems like an obvious answer. maybe getting my renown: revolutionaries above 50. shrug

💎 (favorite ambition) - i've only done bag a legend, but i have to say, killing a giant capitalist bat was pretty great, so i guess that's my current favourite

😑 (most frustrating grind you’ve had to do) - i lose the memories of frustrating grinds as soon as i've completed them. so the MOST frustrating one might have been while doing bag a legend, or it could've been to do with the railway, or maybe the most frustrating one was at some point during the normal making-your-name progressions that every player goes through... i barely remember what my precise emotions were last week let alone being able to compare how i felt every time i had to spend all my actions and more on one thing

but so far the mostly-opportunity-and-newspaper-based process of getting revolutionaries renown has been. repetitive and certainly frustrating. especially now that it's far enough that, even after i get all the favours, even with my shadowy at max and all my shadowy items equipped the shadowy requirement is so high that i have to wait for the mood-granting opportunity card to show up. but after i have all the favours that's less a grind and more luck-based, not as if i spend all my actions on it anymore or anything like that

WAIT NO IGNORE MY PREVIOUS ANSWER it actually was the impossible theorem. THAT was a pain to get

March 4th, 2024 - Albums with 10 songs

•••┊┊🌙┊┊•••┊┊🌙┊┊•••┊┊🌙┊┊•••┊┊🌙┊┊•••

I didn't take any pictures today, so there you have a screenshot of a text I read for my Law school about social norms.

I spend more time with my friends today. I didn't really mind it. But I went home alone, I had to get some photocopies. However, they didn't have it. I have to order them tomorrow.

I changed my path to my house today. I didn't get lost this time! I took a nap, too. And I finally listened to The Postal Service's album! I liked it a lot. Tomorrow I'll listen to the tracks from the 10th Anniversary version.

I think I've already said it before, but I love albums with 10 songs. It's simply perfect! That's why some of my favourite albums are like that.

I didn't do anything else. Today was really boring.

Also, I'm watching the last episode of my series. Tomorrow another one begins, it's shorter than the last one.

I'm getting distracted all the time by it.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Rest well.

PS: I turned the alarm off in the morninf and woke up at 11 AM just because my mother called me. It was a mess.

Cute little details that stood out to me:

1. During the gift exchange, Poppy does two little brief laughs, each more like a single cute ‘heh’... I bet that’s “every time you laugh you make that little sound” Branch referred to in TWT Perfect For Me :)

2. Branch acting unaware that she got his name to avoid spoiling her moment

3. He ducks his head and smiles shyly when she calls him cute :)

4. She runs her hand lovingly over the scrapbook cover’s text :)

5. The Hug - the extra squeeze and her quick dazed look

6. The invitations out in the open!!  So glad they made a reappearance, that has always been one of my favourite things from the first movie.  I find it interesting how in Trolls 1 there are two shelves then in HiH the bottom shelf is empty: no way he got rid of them, so maybe he’s moving them somewhere better, all around bunker?  I would really love to know if he showed her them on purpose or if she stumbled across them, either one would be so sweet!  She made him all those cards and now he made her a scrapbook in return!

7. His hand over hers while emptying the basket for the Funk trolls.

8. The swing’s opposite hair colours, continuing with theme of them being connected / compatible from TWT (after their fight during Perfect For Me she’s in the shadows and he’s in the light, in the credits her goggles are blue and his are pink, in contrast to when he was trying to confess to her in the beginning and he’s in the shadows / she’s in the light)

9. More ear movements like in Trolls 1, particularly Branch’s, but Poppy’s do a bit when he hands her the scrapbook.  Subtle motions, but really emphasizes the emotion in the scene.

*10. Rewatched the movie (again) and decided to add this in: I just think it’s cute how she’s watching / smiling at him as he exits the balloon.  He seems happy too the way he hopped off and was smiling as he started to walk away - even though it wasn’t much of a ‘date’, they still both enjoyed the little hangout!

11. Branch being so concerned about disappointing Poppy if his gift is too meagre.  And while we all know (he probably does too) that Poppy would never stuff him into a blender or anything remotely close for any reason, the fact that he doesn’t want to risk his relationship in the slightest way and wants the gift to be perfect is adorable, great first steps of a new couple.  He may be much happier and sillier, but he’s still cautious nervous Branch, and I love that he’s changed so much, yet he’s still him.

~Also, the ring implication: proposing to her has obviously crossed his mind, but he knows it would be too much way too soon, they’ve taken things slowly even when they were friends; he of all trolls would never take such a sudden and huge step, neither is ready for that at this point.

~~~

2nd Pic: Parallels from previous movies: Trolls Holiday vs HiH “Go Big or Go Home” perspective... TWT vs HiH “blow up in your face” idea... TWT vs HiH leaning on balloon stance.

~~~

(I may add more if I think of more...). EDIT: I thought of more!

3rd Pic: @dreamsinger-rose here are the best screenshots I could get of the moment between the kiss and the balloon - he seems to lean a bit toward her, but now that I take another look I guess she tilts her head away shyly, and you can’t really see his smile very well either - but it’s still a cute moment!

4th Pic: His glimpse down at her lips!  dreamsinger-rose mentioned this and more down in the comments - I had noticed the glimpse myself but didn’t bother adding it as I’d seen it pointed out in other places, but then I thought why not, it’s a cute little observation!

5th Pic: Closeness in the balloon ride, also mentioned by dreamsinger-rose!  BONUS: his little smirk when she shushes him, and the way her finger lingers even as she walks away!

6th Pic: Not exactly a little detail, probably everyone noticed but still: Barb referring to Branch as Poppy’s boyfriend (not teasingly this time), and Branch directly saying ‘relationship’ instead of friendship.

7th Pic: Poppy was so excited to get her bf’s name... but there was also a moment of doubt / pondering / puzzlement, realizing she couldn’t instantly think of the perfect gift and/or wondering what she could get “the coolest troll in the world” (still love that she called him that!), but she shrugs it off and goes back to her usual optimism.  (I talk more about this in a previous post of “nervous Poppy”)

8th Pic: Poppy being considerate: she’s finally willing to focus 100% of her attention on him, no interruptions or distractions, to actually spend some quality time with him instead of have him just tag along while she works.  And some smaller points: suggesting they say the names at the same time, asking if he wants to go first instead of telling him to, and listening to / approving of his idea.

Okay, I think I’m done now XD

Art Title: Moodboards for “Harmonic Convergence” Fandom: Dragon Age games Link: Images are embedded in the fanfic linked above and can also be found here Warnings: Weapons/violence r the fantasy setting without looking too fake/costumey was tricky. Also, it’s surprisingly hard to find good stock images of hand holding, since those keywords get you a lot of people holding other things or young people holding the hands of the elderly!

I’m really pleased overall with the balance of colour in the boards + the effect of the blend of in-game shots with stock photos to add something more. I think the picture I found to imply Leliana hugging Alistair in the 4th board was my favourite find. I’m also proud of being able to photoshop in Hawke’s facepaint onto the woman in the top-right of that board too. Also thanks go to the creators of the Actually Alistair mod - the DA:Inquisition screenshots of Alistair used are ones from that mod, which meant it was possible to have Alistair in HQ, and the right age for the fic, but with a skintone more like his original from DA:Origins.

Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare

Feelings, become One

Part 1 of 2

Writer's block is being rough on me, so the only thing I was able to create lately was a short story of my MC Clover and Leviathan. It shows their adorable friendship as they experience an idol live show together.

Enjoy 🧡

One evening, the demon of Envy, Leviathan, made his way to the human exchange students' room. The human girl Clover had borrowed a manga from him, but it happened that Levi needed that exact book right now.

As he was strolling through the hallways, finally he reached the door, so he knocked like a polite creature before coming in.

"Hey" Levi called out into the room. "I need that Ruri-chan manga back for a sec. Some idiot Normie posted stupid fake information on the fanclub's Devcord server and is not believing me when I tell him he's wrong, so I need screenshots to prove what a fake fan he is lolol."

As he had been more eyeing his D.D.D. than paying attention to his surroundings, he only noticed at the end of his comment that a pair of unpleasantly surprised eyes were staring back at him. Levi raised his eyebrows, puzzled, looking back at Clover sitting on her bed, only being illuminated by the small lamp on her bedside table.

Just so making out her reddened eyes, paired with how she was hugging her legs, the demon immediately understood that she was crying.

"C... Clover?"

"A-ah, Levia-tan..." she mumbled, quick to put away the used tissue in her hand. Sniffling shortly, she sprung up in the next moment, walking over to her desk. "I didn't get to read this chapter yet, so I'd like to have it back after you've shown that peasant what a real Ruri stan looks like..."

Handing him the manga, Clover put on a very unconvincing smile.

Unsure how to react, Levi took the book but kept giving her a worried look. "Are you... okay?"

The girl only gave a nod.

"B-because you look, uhm..." Levi could have punched himself for being so bad at social interactions. "Were you crying just now?"

A flash of panic crossed Clover's face, but in the end, she assured him she was fine.

"It's embarrassing but I was, uh, crying over a stupid video. So nothin' to worry about, really!"

Holding the door open, she kind of gestured for him to make his leave, so Levi stepped out into the corridor again.

"Now go get that loser's ass", she cheered, but as she closed the door, Levi caught a tiny glimpse of the frown that was forming on her face.

The demon had planned to go back into his room, yet somehow he found himself in the kitchen instead. Turning his head to the fridge, he spotted Beelzebub head-deep in the ingredients for tomorrow's lunch.

Levi's younger brother noticed his presence when Levi let out a troubled sigh.

"Huh? Levi?" Beel shot him a glance. "Are you hungry, too?"

"Like there would even be anything left for me to eat!" Levi hissed, mustering how Beel's cheek were filled to the brim like those of a hamster. "No, I..." He let out another sigh. "Did something happen to Clover? She seemed really down just now and behaved all weird."

In an instant, Beel stopped his scavenging and closed the fridge to turn towards his brother.

"So you think so, too..." Beel said. "I noticed it when we returned home from RAD today, so I wanted to cook something to cheer her up."

Levi let out a huff. "Doesn't look like you had success in doing that..."

However putting his sarcasm aside, he asked whether Beel knew any reason for Clover's sadness.

"I think she had some stressful days" Beel explained, scratching his head as he actually began to prepare said food. "She had a lot of projects to hand in for her additional courses lately. And it seems the grades she got weren't quite what she expected. Or what she deserved for the amount of work she put in, honestly."

Nodding to himself, Levi indeed remembered that the human girl had been working until late recently. He crossed his arms. "But their grades aren't really that important to the exchange students, right? There's no need to cry over that."

For a while, they remained silent, listening to the veggies sizzling in the frying pan.

Then, Beel spoke up again.

"You know how she is" he said. "She was very passionate about it, and now beats herself up for not doing well enough."

Frowning, Levi narrowed his gaze. "But then why didn't she tell me about it? I thought we were friends..."

Beel had returned to the fridge, originally to grab the next ingredients, but ended up stuffing half of that into his own mouth.

"I thought you of all would understand her reasoning the best" he grumbled into the fridge.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

So Beelzebub shot him another look.

"Aren't you afraid of people thinking low of you, too?"

That evening, Beelzebub continued to take care of the human girl. He had managed to cook her a delicious meal and stayed with her to watch some movies.

Levi was amazed to see how easily his brother had managed to lift her spirits. Overall, it had surprised him to hear how well Beel knew about her feelings in the first place.

But what troubled Levi the most were Beel's last words before he had knocked on Clover's door:

"She'll probably stay this sad for longer. It would be great if you could help, too."

The next day, the avatar of Envy didn't feel like gaming at all. He forced himself to do his daily log-ins to his thirty-ish online games, but his mind kept wandering off to the happenings of the last evening.

Why would anyone think low of Clover because of school grades? Why would she be that sad, even if she put a lot of work into it?

She was his confidant. His friend. That alone meant she had to be a person worthy of one's time.

So... Why would someone like her ever worry about not being good enough?

Lying in his bed/bathtub/really-unsuited-sleeping-spot, Levi bit his lip.

He understood what Beel had meant now. The more he tried to understand Clover, the more he spiralled into self-loathing, toxic thoughts that he knew all too well himself.

And just the thought that Clover might be pained by this nonsense made him so angry that he couldn't focus on anything else than searching for a way to cheer her up.

Grumbling and brainstorming, his messy thoughts suddenly saw a spark of hope when he read a notification on his D.D.D.:

'Aqours 4th LoveLive! ~ Sailing to the Sunshine ~ -- Tickets for sale NOW!!'

Eyes wide, he had this hesitation of "that's too good to be true" when his thumb lowered to press the "see more" button.

But the second after, his otaku mode activated. Baving opened his five favourite websites for booking concert tickets in an instant, Levi was determined to get two tickets for this live show...

Naturally, the period of buying tickets and the actual concert were painfully far apart.

At first, Leviathan wanted to keep it a secret that he had obtained two premium seats for the Aqours concert.

However, Clover's state seemed to worsen as time went by. New things kept piling on her head, and one disappointment set the requirements for her to fail whatever she aimed to do next. It might not seem that bad to others, but as someone who is struggling with his self-worth himself, Levi could guess that Clover's mindset had to be suffering more and more.

So one day, he decided to tell her about the tickets.

Spam-calling her until she would angrily stomp into his room, Levi was waiting for her, the tickets ready in his hands.

"Levia-tan, I'm BEGGING you, if I tell you 'I'll be there in a minute', please don't call me another fifteen times to make sure I wasn't ly-"

She went silent the second her eyes landed on the tickets.

The demon couldn't hide a cheeky grin.

"You were supposed to hurry, Normie" he mocked. "Feeling your concert tickets the second they're out of the printer is a NECESSITY!"

Clover wouldn't respond.

In all honesty, she COULDN'T respond.

Every time she opened her mouth, she was too baffled to press out a single tone.

"Here, this is yours" Levi said as he handed her one ticket. "It's still long until the day of the live show, so make sure to keep this somewhere safe! Ah, you know, actually... If you store the ticket in your room, Mammon might find it and sell it, so it might be for the best if I keep your ticket here with mine... C-Clover?!"

The girl had taken hold of the ticket, staring at it while Levi was rambling. But she had puzzled him when suddenly, tears were dropping on the piece of paper.

"I-is... Is this for real...?" Clover asked with an incredibly thin voice.

"W-wah..." Levi panicked, softly tugging the ticket out of her shaking hands. "It's all wet now... But I guess I can just print it out a second time..."

"Am I... really... going to... Japan...? To... a live show of... of A-aqours...?" Clover asked with a trembling lip.

"You bet!" Levi cheered. "I've been trying to get these tickets for HOURS! It was really tough, but you should never underestimate my Otaku skills!"

"I've... I've always dreamed of... experiencing a live show in person..." Clover continued to mumble. "And now you're being... So kind... What did I do to deserve this..."

Grabbing his phone, Levi tapped on his messenger app to show her something else.

Confused, Clover was looking at Levi's chatroom with Solomon. In his own excitement, Levi had to tell it before Clover could finish reading.

"And don't worry about the language issues. You'll be able to understand it all!" He babbled. "Solomon will do his best to mix you a potion to help with that! See it as subtitles, but send directly into your brain lolol."

The demon grinned from ear to ear,

and, well, expected that the human would do the same...

Or at least, he really didn't expect for her to suddenly burst into loud sobbing, pressing her hands against her face as she couldn't stop crying.

"O-oh..." All colour left Levi's face at once. "Are... Uhm... Are you not happy?"

Looking back and forth between her, the tickets and his phone, he was frantically trying to figure out the reason for her outburst.

His heart broke into pieces as his own toxic mind gave him an answer.

"Oh..." Levi pressed out. "I didn't ask you if you even want to go there if it's with me..." Now he felt really stupid. In all his preparation and anticipation, he forgot what a yucky creature he was. "Uh... I guess... I mean I can understand if you don't want to, it must be really embarrassing to go outside with someone like me, so, y-you can... take someone else along i-if that will make you stop crying... I was looking forward to it, but making you smile again was my utmost priority, so I would... You can... go with, like, Beel or som-"

"L-levia-tan?" Clover suddenly pressed out, not looking up though.

"Y-yes? Are you mad at m-"

"Can I hug you?"

"... Eh?"

"P-please...!" Clover's head shot upwards as she met him with a pleading, crying face. "I d-don't know how to respond to this... this wonderful gesture... I'm..." Not able to hold herself, she engulfed Levi in an embrace.

"I'm so happy..." Clover sobbed into his shoulder. "Thank you so much... Levi..."

Now Levi was the one at loss for words. With cheeks painted a bright pink, he awkwardly wrapped his arms around her body.

"S-so... You're okay with going with... with me?"

"Of course! I'm flattered that you'd even thought of inviting me..." The girl pressed out, slowly letting go of him.

And finally, a grin was spreading on her face again."Please teach me everything I need to know about lives, Levia-sensei!"

The sight was so contagious that Levi was smiling himself.

"Yes! Leave it to me!!"

For the following weeks, the two of them spent huge parts of their free time preparing for the live show.

Leviathan taught Clover all there is to know about using glowsticks: from the shaking technique that destroys your arms and wrists the least, to ultra orange glowstick usage and cycloning. They listened to Aqours' songs so much that at some point Clover remembered all their lyrics perfectly despite not even speaking the language. Additionally, they looked into older live shows to learn where the crowd would engage in which kind of chanting.

"Waah, no, I can't that part of the first live show... I'll cry, Levia-tan...!" Clover had whined.

"Ah, do you mean the performance of 'Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare'? Where Rikyako messed up her piano play?"

"Yes... It was so brave that she learned playing piano from scratch just for that song... But then the poor girl was so stressed, messed up and started sobbing... That part just kills me, especially when the rest who were performing the dance came to comfort her... Ugh I love them all so muuuuch..."

The house of Lamentation was glad to see the human girl had regained her joyful energy. Even if, after a few weeks, their patience was being put under the test...

To give a short input:

When greeting the audience at the beginning of the live show, each idol introduces themselves and engages in a unique call and response with the crowd to get everyone pumped.

And so one day, Levi went to Clover saying this:

"We also need to practice our responses to their character introductions! From this day onwards, I will randomly initiate one of the girls' calls, and you have to respond correctly!"

So... Yeah. The other inhabitants of the house didn't quite understand what any of those "Ganbarubyyyy"s or sudden "BUU BUU DESU-WA"s meant, but eventually, even they remembered some of the call & responses.

... Just that not everyone was so amused by the whole ordeal as Leviathan seemed to be.

Not when Clover was preparing breakfast with Satan in a great hurry (because SOMEONE ate what they had prepared earlier...).

You can imagine that, when already stressed out, Satan wasn't really happy over his older brother dashing into the room, shouting a random "KAN KAN" from the top of his lungs.

"Mikan!" Clover had correctly responded, however quiet as she was fully aware of Satan's anger level.

However, as this particular call & response repeated three times, Levi continued to animate the human girl, going once again even louder: "KAN KAN!"

"M-mikan..."

"Come on, I can't hear you... KAAAAN, KAAA-"

He couldn't finish his chanting as Satan had thrown a devil-blood orange right into his face with such force that it pulled Levi off his feet.

"HERE, HAVE YOUR FUCKING MIKAN AND LEAVE!!"

[Mikans are small, japanese oranges (´ ∀ ` *)]

Finally, the day of the concert had come.

Asmodeus had made it his mission to plan Clover's outfit so she'd be as "dazzling as the girls on stage". Levi had been prompting her to go with comfortable, practical clothes instead, so they had to find a middle where neither of them would complain.

Once all done, some of the brothers came to muster the soon leaving duo.

"Hm... Are you sure you don't want to put on any make up, darling?" Asmo asked Clover after doing his final check.

"Absolutely. I will be in tears the second Aqours' enters the stage, so there's no point in that."

Standing in the doorframe, the avatar of Greed gave a huff.

"Isn't that skirt a bit too short? And that whole outfit... No, you can't go out like this."

"Huh?" Clover turned to him in confusion. "Why not?"

"It's way too eye-catching!" He grumbled. "What if some filthy human makes a move on you?"

The girl gave a slight chuckle. "I go to school with incubi and succubi, Mammon. I think compared to that the human world should be pretty safe."

"B-but...!" Mammon wanted to protest, but Beelzebub covered his brother's mouth to silence him.

"I think you look cute" He beamed Clover an encouraging smile. "But be careful nonetheless. Levi, take care of her."

"Y-yes! I will!"

Do you think that there are any positive aspects or outcomes of suffering from a mental illness? If you have a mental illness, do you think it has changed you for the better in any way? I definitely believe my mental illnesses forced me to mature faster and also instilled a great sense of empathy in me. And don't forget emotional endurance. What is your opinion on celebrity culture and celebrity worship? Have you ever been guilty of putting a celebrity on a pedestal? Do you think it’s somehow more acceptable/understandable to obsess over certain types of celebrities (musicians over YouTubers, say) than others? At what point do you think an obsession like that crosses the line? It's dangerous and can be very blinding. An outsider could say I put Mark on a pedestal, but I've always been very aware that he's not perfect and really just another human, I just happen to love him a lot for the human he is, haha. As time's passed, my vision of him has become healthier though (not to say it ever reached the "unhealthy" threshold); it's gotten easier for me to judge him and stuff like that. I think an obsession crosses the line when you put on rose-tinted glasses to look upon someone and entirely ignore their flaws, or if you try to invade their personal lives, ex. being one of those creeps that loiter outside their houses and stuff. If you were to pursue a career in photography and had the opportunity and means to photograph whatever you wanted, what would most like to photograph? Ah, livin' the dream. If I had to choice and would be paid well regardless of focus, I would absolutely travel and photograph the local nature/wildlife. Is there a certain type of clothing (outerwear, activewear, loungewear, etc.) that you enjoy shopping for more than others? Shirts, 100%. Are you ever afraid to post your ideas, artwork, photography, etc. online for fear that they will get stolen or not credited? When it comes to OCs, yes, given that things have been stolen from me before. Photography doesn't worry me much because I don't think I'm good enough for someone to possibly want to steal it (and besides, I use a watermark), and I do the same for drawings. It's the unique characters I make I worry about being stolen if I share them. When is the last time you did something sexual? A few years back. Who is the last person you showered with, if anyone? I haven't showered with someone since I was a little kid and my younger sister and I would to conserve water. What do you think when you see roadkill on the side of the road? It really makes me genuinely sad, and I always wonder if it could have been avoided if the driver was more alert, slower, and thinking about more than the damage it could cause to their car... I enjoy photographing roadkill, brutal as it may be, out of respect for them and the desire to make their individual stories known and just kind of like, raise awareness of it. Too many people are just annoyed by hitting an animal versus more concerned. "Stupid deer," stuff like that. I sometimes worry that doing so can be interpreted as disrespect, to photograph and publish pictures of their corpses online, but I sure hope not. It's the least of my intentions. I just want people to see and care. Have you ever had an ex that just didn’t understand that it was over? Biiiitch I was that ex, 120%. But besides my situation with Jason, this was how Tyler was. I had to tell him about five thousand times to stop texting me. Are your fingernails currently short or long? They're always pretty short. Would you rather have big or small dogs? I like medium-sized dogs most. I'd have to pick large dogs between the two, though. What is your favorite sports drink? I'm not a fan of sports drinks. What was the last compliment you gave a guy? Yesterday, a guy in PHP shared two poems he wrote while hospitalized, and they were wonderful, so full of passion and emotion. I sure as hell told him they were amazing. He's going for his Master's for poetry, so he knows what he's doing for real. Does your jaw ever crack, pop, or lock? It's popped on very, very few occasions. Have you ever thought of how you would give your kids “the talk”? I don't want kids, so no, I've never thought of this. I certainly wouldn't wait for sex ed in school, though. I feel like it's a bit late. I feel children need to know what it's about at a younger age with how disgusting some people are... I want them to be informed on what consent and molestation are so they know to let Mama know so I can punch someone's face into a whole new galaxy if they're ever violated. Do you ever feel like you’re missing out on something? Oh, always. Do you ever write/draw on windows that are fogged up? I did as a kid, sure. Not so much now. If you were married, and your spouse’s parents became ill, would you let them move into your home? If they were truly sick enough to need assistance but not actual hospitalization, yes. I'd want my spouse to do the same for me. Have you screamed in a pillow before? Yyyyep. What do you like more, acoustic or electric? Electric. Did you actually have a cookie jar? We have a Santa one, though I don't even know if we ever used it versus just having it as a decoration. What’s worse, having someone mad or disappointed in you? Disappointed. What do you bite on more, your tongue, lip, or nails? Bottom lip. Do you think that knowing when and how you’re going to die would ruin your life? "Ruin" it seems a bit extreme, but I definitely wouldn't like it. Do you have a favorite bromance? From TV or a movie. Not really, if we're only talking those two options. Do you find flea markets and thrift stores enjoyable? Yeah, you really can find the coolest shit for great prices. What color is your wallet? Mostly red and white; it's a Harley Quinn design. Have you ever been somebody's photography subject? No. Nicki Minaj fan? I believe she's a very talented rapper, but I don't enjoy her actual music. I just don't like rap. Have you ever seen the Niagara Falls? No, I wish tho.

Your favorite aspiration: I'm not sure. But I use the creative ones a lot.

Your favorite EP, Sp or GP: EP - Seasons, SP - maybe Movie Hangout? idk, GP - Parenthood or Vampires, don't make me choose haha

How old is your simblr: It will turn four this August! Though technically its 4th birthday is in January or February, it just took me a few months to actually find the courage to post.

Have you woohooed: Lmao nope. Neither did my simself. I'm not even all that interested to be fair. Shoutout to all my followers who are also somehow under the ace umbrella! I love you and we’re valid!

Your favorite skill: Guitar, painting and...singing is fun, even though the first few levels are painful.

The size of your Mods folder: 2.0 something GB and we’re going down babey!

Your 3 favorite mods: MC Command Center, UI Cheats Extension and Pose Player. Where would I be without you, honestly.

Your interests (other than sims): drawing, writing, reading, history (especially 20th century), pilates and music (not making music, just listening to it and reading facts about musicians and genres and whatnot, I'm actually not musically talented at all)

Your favorite sim (picture if possible): I have a few but ultimately I think I have to say Tyler.

Which Sims games you have played (including mobile games): TS2 (two or three times in my life), TS3, TS4, The Sims Mobile (on the day it was released, then never touched it again) and that game that was on Facebook like ten years ago - The Sims Social it was called, I think? God my cousin and I were obsessed with that

Best part of simblr: The fact that I can share my obsession with people who feel the same way. Literally no one else would listen, but you guys would.

Worst part of simblr: When someone makes their petty drama with another simblr public and people who most definitely shouldn't care because it's none of their business come in with their smartass textposts, spreading the fire and accusations. Just...keep it in your messages, talk it out with them and if nothing else heps, block them and move on. It works wonders. Don't drag them, don't drop their name, don't tell your followers to go ruin their life, don't start an anonymous blog saying "hey this person is stupid" and then tag a million simblrs who have probably never even heard of them (I wish I wasn't speaking from experience but these are all things I've actually seen over the years). You're better than that. Sorry, rant over.

What other games you play: Life is Strange and sometimes Garry's Mod with my sister. Subway Surfers on my phone when I'm really bored. Or Picrew games.

Other websites or accounts (origin, twitter etc..): I actually left twitter because it was putting my head into an unhealthy mindset, leading me to question everything and probably contributing to my already bad overthinking habit. Also I was just generally a bitch on twitter, something pissed me off, I immediately tweeted about it. Ten tweets, then I calmed down, few hours later I deleted them. But you can still follow @simmeronnie if you think I might come back. What else...I'm veronika2212 on the Gallery. My other social media accounts are not related to sims at all, so I won't list them.

Are you single: Single and lowkey craving some kind of love and care but hey it's fine I'm fine I'm not a sad little human being or anything

I should’ve waited until tomorrow to answer this tag, I’m so tired. Oh well. It’s done now. Besides we all know that I’m a bit of a clown so :D Goodnight.

Consider yourself tagged if you wanna do this!

Season 3 Part 2 Ending Analysis

Yes, i’m doing this thing. because i think its pretty interesting

so we have this scene, with 10 year old Mikasa, Armin and Eren in it, enjoying their life with no worries (This was before Wall Maria and their village got raided by Titans). We see this scene in Season 1. Nothing suspicious here right?

Then we see this scene. it zooms out pretty quickly but there is a boy standing up. Nothing suspicious again i hear yourself asking. Until you realise that boy is actually Marco, a dead recruit from episode 13 season 1. No intro never mind outro has ever featured him until now. just a random, screenshot you may ask? Look at the next picture.

A little bit harder to catch, but there Marco is again in the left hand corner of the screen. Maybe its a coincidence again? Maybe its just another random screenshot the producers put in that just so happened to feature Marco?

Oh look! there he is again. and the camera actually zooms out on him! Still think its a coincidence? I honestly don’t think so and i imagine you are questioning it too.

There he is again! oh my god! This time hes actually looking up at Reiner, Bertholdt, Armin and Eren's conversation in episode 3 of the first season. If you're a manga fan you will remember in chapter 77, they explain how and why Marco dies. This is almost foreshadowing how he dies. He listened to Bert and Reiners conversation on how the mission was slow. He is a very quick thinker and can pinpoint stuff much the same as Armin, a very smart boy. Unlucky that is how he ended up being killed.

He might be in this scene, i cant actually remember if he arrived in this group or another separate smaller group?

There he is again in the bottom left corner this time. It seems a bit odd now that he is in most scenes in this outro and not in any of the other ones, hmm. I know the main focus would be that its everyone past life and how they got to where they are now. This has happened in the past and they have never featured Marco.

I think this is Bertholdt in this scene, but I think it could be Marco because i would of thought Bertholdt would of been much further forward with Reiner. Everyone comes in pairs or Trios. Eren is with Mikasa and Armin, Connie is with Sasha (as seen here), and Reiner is just with Annie. Jean is by himself (Jean is paired up with Marco up until episode 13/chapter 18.)

Here is Marco near enough the middle, looking up at Annie. His face is either puzzled or just like 'crap i now know what she can do.’ I think this would play a major part in chapter 88, when Marco didn’t really want to mess with the trio. Hes a quick learner to realise that he shouldn’t mess with them. Which i don’t think that that was his intention when he confronted Bertholdt and Reiner on the roof about their titan abilities. Annie would be tough but there was a soft spot there for Marco when Bert and Reiner forced her to take off his 3DM gear.

Here he is again, Wanting to stand up to pull apart Eren and Jeans fight. Hes a very caring person and shown by this scene, wants to defend his new friend Jean.

He was a little more far out here, but i caught the shot. Hes giving his salute behind Reiner and Bert, meaning that in the character pyramid, he could be in the low to middle section behind Bert and Reiner. Though he is by his self of the back row as Annie is walking away, you can tell its her by the white hoodie. I think this would symbolise that the characters left standing would be the ones that could stand up for themselves and are quite strong in what they are saying and physically. But since Marco is quite far back, he wouldn’t of been as strong as the other troops in front of him. This would also link back to chapter 77, where Annie was very reluctant to take off Marcos 3DM gear, hence why she is walking away, and Reiner and Bert knew what they were doing was right in their minds, hence why they are still standing strong and proud.

Not in this scene/screenshot

THE MOST IMPORTANT SCREENSHOT THIS HAD ME SCREAMING. You may be wondering 'Wtf are you on about Jamie.' but look at the 4th bunk from the bottom on the right. there’s a 104th training regiment jacket! And i’m 99.9% sure its Marco's! everything else had a feature of Marco, so why wouldn’t this? It would seem pretty out of place for this to not have something to do with our favourite Angel boy. This may signify that he left in such an unfortunate way or that he was innocent, hence the bright white lights that are beaming through the windows. This often happens when only Marco is in the shot, foreshadowing his innocence.

Pan + Plato :)

Pan and plato

Plato. Who was your favourite childhood teacher?

I think it actually was my 4th grade english teacher cause I had a sort of crush on him. And he was fun because he was a young guy. Plus none of my other teachers from childhood really stand out, at least as favourites 😅

Pan. If you were an animal what would you be?

I think something sea or water related, because water feels like a second home to me (said the aquarius woman). I could be salmon, cause I like to go "against the current" as we say in spanish. But a buzzfeed quiz pegged me as an axolotl once so I'll go with that. They seem like happy and peaceful creatures 😄 here I have the screenshot:

[Personal] 1.500th post

welcome to my 1.500th post (no reblogging, my posts only笑) and to my new followers → welcome to my tumblr♪♪

I’m going to use this opportunity to to talk a bit about my original plans + how things turned out, the things that lead to the current concept of this blog and of course my projects that come along with everything^^

so if you are interested in me and my little blog... feel free to join the journey through leenaevilin’s tumblr history^^ ↓↓↓

welcome and thank you for joining me on this little trip through 1 1/2 years posting on tumblr^^

I’m Leena (31), your tour guide^^

for more ‘personal’ and/or 2.5次元 related information, please check my previous post:

♪ Answer 30 questions

♪ Let’s talk about our favorit actors and why we would do ’everything’ to make him/her smile^^

♪ End of the year 2.5D Butai/Musical Asks! (2017)

so, enough with the personal story^^ let’s start the trip down the memory lane…

I originally started this tumblr June 4th, 2016, but it took me a whole year (June 29th, 2017) to actually post something 2.5次元 related笑

I started with a few [(ᵔᴥᵔ)] posts because I wanted to contribute to the community I love and recived so much in the past. I had the plan to slowly add my whole collection (mainly Nakamura Yuuichi related^^) of stages, dramas and movies and spread love. despite being a member of tenimyutopia on livejournal I decided to move to tumblr because I didn’t want to be restricted to ‘only’ tenimyu related actors and (probably the bigger reason) I was pretty annoyed of the ‘requesting’ habit... when I first joined this beautiful fandom no one would ever ask if someone would be willing to share their stuff out of the blue! we waited until someone announced it and were greatful for anything but nowadays people seem to expect us to share with everyone and think that ‘asking’ if someone is willing to share his/her DVD is no big deal... anyway, I thought creating my own blog would be the best way to get away from this problem and the first 2 months seemed to work perfectly. everyone was nice & respectful and I found some really nice people who share the same passion. I was able to spread some love until reality hit me and a bunch of my friends hard...

around Mid-August (2017) people started to upload our videos on streaming sites to gain ‘a moment of fame’...

and in October (2017) basically all of the links to my videos (and the videos of my friends) were shared on facebook and some russian fanpages.

it’s time for some facts:

♪ do not think we are stupid and won’t find out that you share our links ♪ it’s really obvious when a rare video appears on youtube and co. shortly after one of us shared it here on tumblr ♪ if you want to show it to your friends just simply send them to the original post and we will gladly share our videos with your friend as well!!

anyway... I had no choice but to shut down my links and re-think about the concept of my blog. I already started to post some infos about upcoming stages and thought it might be a great idea to use this blog as a place to gather information about japanese stages (mostly 2.5次元 related) so I have less trouble when adding stages/roles/actors @ mdl...

but soon I felt the urge to do more... I thought about what ‘sharing love’ actually means to me... 

my conclusion:

a) sharing pictures of my favourite actors & stages b) showing ways to support and get the newest stages (streams/DVD’s…) c) share videos to inspire people to be more interested in this beautiful culture

so in the end I decided to start sharing videos again... but this time with a huge list of rules and some arrangements to prevent people from sharing my stuff

explanation time^^

♪ why do I have to send an ask OFF ANON? → well I’m having a problem with anonymity in general… the internet itself is an ‘anonym’ place so why hide even more and use the function to ask anonymously?? I can’t hide either so let’s communicate ‘face to face’. I don’t bite (as long as you are polite^^) so no need to be shy! → you can’t answer anonymous asks privately...

♪ why can’t I upload your video to streaming sites → I’m trying to keep a low profile and so should you!! streaming these videos is causing great attention and if the industry finds out about it we might no longer be able to buy any stage outside Japan (+ they might stop thinking of sending certain productions to Europe, America and Asia)   → why do you want to share something that isn’t yours in the first place?? you are hurting the feelings of the person who actually PAID for it and is willing to share it with you for FREE → btw. the same goes for gifs, audio files or screenshots I don’t want to see the stuff I share anywhere else... if you want to share something please buy the streams/DVDs yourself

♪ why do I have to tell you (in detail) that I will follow the rules → that’s simple... I want something that proves you actually understand my rules. in the past people only told me ‘I will follow the rules’ and claimed later that they don’t speak english and didn’t know they weren’t allowed to share my videos

♪ why don’t you provide subs? → keeping up with all the newsfeed & recording/editing/uploading the videos basically consumes my freetime and I do have to sleep from time to time... so there is simply no time for me to sub the videos I share

♪ why don’t you share HQ videos? → I only share TV or live stream recordings at the moment... and the recording program I’m using won’t provide ‘high’ quality unless you are willing to get a 40G big file as a result...

♪ why do I have to add a mark to my ask? → you might not believe it but a lot of people forget to mention what video they want... so with the mark I know which link I have to send^^

a lot of people might think that my rules are stupid but there is a reason to each end every single rule... so please pay attention to every single one and make sure to follow them♡ please check out my HOW TO ASK ME SOMETHING post if you need help^^

and now... back to the story^^

with my new rules and my little watermark on my videos I think I finally found a way to prevent people from streaming my vids. I’m glad that I had no bigger trouble ever since (besides the ‘ochanomizu rock - incident’...) and really happy that my followers started to respect my wishes and simply enjoy the videos privately♡

I’m really enjoying this community and love to interact at least a bit with my followers... so I was extremely happy to get to know some of my new tumblr friends in person during the performance of Musical Touken Ranbu in Paris. but as usual... life is a roller coaster and I had to learn (again) right before I went to Paris that there are people out there who are jealous of everything. I’m not sure if they were jealous because my tumblr is popular or just because I was lucky enough to see toumyu in Paris... but the moment I stated my opinion I was insulted and taunted by those haters. I was really sad... especially after I found out that this group of haters started taking screenshots of my posts and used them to harasse me on twitter... but in the end the whole incident made me stronger and I decided to use my blog to not only spread love for japaneses stages but to make sure that we STOP CYBERBULLING!!!

please stop being mean to each other and try to be respectful to a person you don’t know. it’s always okay to have a different opinion and to state it… but there’s no need to be insulting!!

STOP THE HATRED, SPREAD LOVE ♡

that said...

お疲れ様! (otsukaresama)

we are at the end of our tour^^

thank you for reading this review of my 1 1/2 years here on tumblr and thank you of being a part of this beautiful community♡

2018 Year In Review

Another year, another review 💕(I actually typed most of this up before 2019 and then got distracted, whoops)

To put things short, 2018 has been AWESOME :D Exhausting and fast, but awesome.

I started it off pretty uncertain how things were going to go, dreading it would be a repeat of 2017′s boring TAFE courses and endless job rejections. But the miracle happened - a 2D animation studio opened up near me, I applied, did an animation test and got the job!

The job was a contract from 1st of April - 21st of December, so I spent the majority of my year going to work to animate characters for a really crazy but hilarious new kids show called Spongo Fuzz and Jalapena, due to air mid 2019 :) 

It was honestly the most fun job I have ever had and I can’t wait for the next project! 🎉 I have never been this exhausted in my life, though. 😅I had already booked a whole bunch of conventions before I got the job, and didn’t want to cancel them so I was working nonstop - Animation during the day and intensive convention prep every night. 

I also had the bright idea of creating a full colour 26 page comic -with a tight deadline - so I was madly working to the point I didn’t even have time for dinner half the time :’) I am sort of happy with the comic, but also kind of wish I never had the idea in the first place. 😅

I tabled at a ton of conventions; Melbourne Supanova, Central Coast ComiCon, Other Worlds Zine Fair, Sydney Supanova, SMASH and Canberra Gamma Con. If next year doesn’t go so well on the job side of things I’m hoping to add a few more conventions to that list - Brisbane Supanova, Oz Comic Con and Animaga to name a few. I’ve already booked Sydney Madman Anime Festival!

2018 was the year my partner and I celebrated our 4th year together, and he never fails to amaze me with his continuous love and support. I was too sick to attend the first day of SMASH, so he set up and ran the whole stall for me while I stayed at home. Same with Sydney Supanova, I was too bogged down in animation work and couldn’t afford to take the Friday off, so he set up and ran the stall for me on Friday, then we ran the stall together on the weekend. He also tended to my every need when I broke my toe, cooked all my meals when I was busy with work and even packaged + posted all my Etsy orders every day because I was always working during post office hours. He listened to all the problems I was having with my stall setup and helped make shelves and decorations to make it look and function better. I was getting stressed because my desk space was too small, BAM he bought me a brand new desk with plenty of storage. I was getting stressed that I had so much on my convention to-do-list and couldn’t keep track of all my project ideas, BAM, he sets up a whiteboard and helps me brainstorm everything so I can keep track of all my thoughts and ideas and what to prioritise for future conventions. I didn’t even ask him to do any of this, he just loves to help me and make me happy and I am forever blissed and happy to be able to spend my life with such a wonderful human! 

(Home made High Tea I made for him on Valentines Day) 

Arsty Highlilghts / accomplishments:

🌸I designed 9 cute Houseki no Kuni acrylic charms which have been doing really well at conventions!

🌸I also drew a cute series of ‘Sleepy Gem’ Houseki no Kuni / Steven Universe holographic prints, which I’m quite proud of 😊

🌸I created my 2nd enamel pin design, which already needed 2 reorders because they were so popular! ;w; I never knew I could make something that so many people love *sob* I’ve already planned to make these into a series! (already designed some deer ones, and thinking of doing foxes next ^_^ )

🌸I also tried getting gold foil prints done for the first time, which was pretty cool! I got the american sizes mixed up though so I might try for the bigger size next time :) (grainy photo cause its a screenshot from a video)

🌸I’ve been taking steps to make my stall look more ‘professional’, and got a really neat wooden sign made for me by my friend as_sweet_as_jasmine!

🌸I’ve started revamping my favourite series of posters - the Eevee Gijinka girls :) I plan to have them all done and ready for 2019s conventions! 

🌸This was the year I got an iPad, so I could do digital art on-the-go. Honestly its helped me so much, and I can’t wait to be able to use it more (sorta didn’t get a chance to touch it while i was working!)

🌸I got Copic Markers for my birthday so I had a whole new medium to play with! These mixed with using a brush pen for inking really make my inktobers pop and I’m eager to draw more with them  :) 

🌸Speaking of Inktober, it was a huge accomplishment for me to put effort into a decent artwork every day this year! Usually theres a few dud ones when I lacked inspiration, but I somehow managed to make it work ;w; So when it came time to printing the books, theres 31 illustrations rather than 25 like the others :) Also the whole rainbow theme idea came from how cool I think it would look flipping through a rainbow book - so I managed to make that happen and couldn’t be happier!

🌸I passed 1000 sales on Etsy!! 😱As well as 1000 followers on instagram! Crazy right??

General 2018 highlights

🌸2018 was the year one of my best friends got married! I made cute little clay wedding cake toppers for her :)

🌸The year Owl City’s 7th album Cinematic came out!! All the tracks are so GOOD and exactly the sound all us hootowls were longing for. Also Be Brave is a tearjerker, in a good way. What an amazing human Abbey is to Adam <3 

🌸The year Spyro Reignited Trilogy came out!! It’s absolutely amazing, and I love every second of it. Every time I play it I just can’t help but stand there looking around at every detail because everything is just so gorgeous *_* And the nostalgia is so real.

🌸Not exactly a highlight but the year Tumblr went NSFW free, and lost hundreds of thousands of users 😂I’m still here though. Got a dumb tradition to keep up ya know.

🌸The year my work had a hilarious Christmas party where we had to dress up as a character from Spongo Fuzz and Jalapena. It was the first time I actually put effort into a cosplay by myself 😂(possibly the last) (wont put a photo up for embarrassing reasons)

🌸the year I broke my toe for the first time xD;; definitely not a highlight but a first! I couldn’t walk for weeks! it sucked!!! T__T

🌸The year my friend successfully funded his kickstarter for his own cartoon ‘Nurry Brothers Adventure World’ :D So proud of him. I’m gonna help him animate!

🌸The year Lano and Woodley reunited with their amazing show ‘Fly’!! I loved it so much I saw it twice :D 

🌸The year I tried doing Halloween for the first time - I bought a bunch of lollies and chocolates and decorations on my letterbox/door to let people know I was participating. I got 2 different groups of people at the door, 5 people all up 😂More than I expected tbh!

🌸I tried Ruby chocolate for the first time! It was ok .. just kinda tasted like berry yoghurt flavoured white chocolate though ;w; 

SO! What’s coming for 2019?

I’m not really sure at the moment, but I have high hopes for Cheeky Little Studios (the animation company I worked for) - so I guess I’ll just have to wait and see if any of their next projects get concrete start dates :) I’m not as terrified of the year as I usually am when its just one big question mark. I know I can make decent money through conventions and commissions in the meant time so I’ll just continue doing what I love! 

LAST YEAR I SAID:

“I am crossing my fingers for an animation job I applied for a while ago” - I GOT IT! :D

“I plan to do even more conventions. Hopefully I can get into Oz Comic Con!" - didn’t end up applying because I was busy with the job, but keen to try for 2019 :)

"I’m keen to apply for like Animaga in Melbourne, as well as Madman Anime Fest in Brisbane and Melbourne.” - didn’t end up doing so for the same reason above, but that might change this year :)

“I also want to make a lot more non-fandom things for market stalls, as well as a comic and zines!” - I made the comic, as well as 3 inktober zines and a cute ‘if I fits I sits’ cat zine! As well as a bunch of cute original enamel pin ideas and my whole inktober was original art :D 

“Hopefully I’ll hit 1k followers on fb/ig? :D that will make me feel important lol” - I hit 1k on instagram!! I felt very important xD

“I’m also hoping to go on a holiday this year." - I didn’t, for job reasons ... buuut I’m booked in for a cruise in Italy / Greece this September that I’m extremely excited for!

“PLEASE BE KIND 2018, I’M BEGGING YOU 😱” - You were very very kind to me, 2018. 2019, please follow suit! 

(man this is the 7th year of review I’ve done. Can’t believe I’ve been on tumblr this long 😅)
