From The Members to The Fans
〈 RUKI 〉
At the end he said, "I hope the GazettE will last forever," I think REITA meant he hopes the best view, that he saw from the stage in 2023, is what will continue forever.
The view he saw with the fans
Your happy faces
The place we could all scream together
It's a treasure that cannot be replaced.
I think he hoped it would be nice if that moment could last forever.
I remember you said you wanted to do a live show soon.
He was a kind and passionate man, someone who could openly say, "Even if something goes wrong, I have the most fun when the members get together and we can laugh like this."
I loved his honesty.
Every birthday, we jokingly tell each other that we should take care of each other's health, this year is no different.
The band will never be just the four of us.
No matter what anyone says.
You are our only bassist.
I believe you will always be next to me.
Everyone will feel your presence even if they cannot see you.
REITA's life he built with the GazettE will never disappear, it will always live on.
I will continue singing so it will be as if REITA is right next to me.
We won't become the kind of the GazettE REITA would hate.
I don't want to make you sad.
I believe we all have a limited time here but the human soul remains.
REITA's, the members and mine.
And the fans.
I want to continue to perform so everyone that has loved us, even when they become souls, can come to our lives forever.
It can only happen with each and every one of our fans, we can create this view that he wished to see forever.
That is why I want you to stay by my side and be there with us.
I know he would appreciate it if you remembered him with a smile, instead of sadness.
We will be determined to protect this band more than ever before.
We will make the forever that REITA wished for come true.
So, REITA, make sure to come to every live down from heaven.
There will always be a seat for you.
Things are going to be really busy now.
I will reach out again when there is a schedule made.
〈 麗 〉
To all the fans who supported REITA.
I think he was a tremendous source of support for everyone and myself.
I still cannot accept and face the fact that he is no longer with us and we will not be on stage together anymore.
Maybe this is one of many things I will gradually come to understand.
However, I strongly feel I need to have the strength in order to move forward, if I remain in sorrow, I will not be able to guarantee the forever he wished for.
I believe the path he had taken alongside everyone was invaluable and will live on in his heart, for everyone and himself for a long time to come.
He has given me so much and walked beside me for so long, he will remain as my best friend forever.
Please remember his words, memories and the love he shared in your hearts.
REITA will live on in everyone's heart.
I want to express how grateful I am for everyone supporting the GazettE and REITA.
〈 葵 〉
Of all things after working with the members and our staff, this is the one thing I did not want to do.
There were moments in the past where I almost gave up on my dream.
Every time, we would have a discussion about it, the members would push and pull me to not feel discouraged.
That is why the GazettE was able to keep moving forward.
REITA, you are not the one to wish for eternity, you are eternal.
I can't say something wise like "I'll carry your burden."
I wanted to play more music with you, I wanted to see more with you.
Even if it's the 5 of us surrounded by our fans, any kind of view would be amazing.
I wonder, it's difficult that I have so many things to say knowing none of it will come true.
Once I'm up there, I'm giving you a stern talk. You must be lonely because we're suddenly gone, so until we meet again, please rest up.
I have a little more work to do here.
Thank you for joining us on this long journey. Rest in peace.
〈 戒 〉
REITA had an big presence in my life, more than I can describe; all his words, saving me with his sound, the mood maker of the band, all I remember are the fun things, and above all, the way he shined on stage.
He was the best partner to have in the rhythm group.
That has not and will never change.
I want to carry his memory with me to continue the GazettE with a greater determination.
Lastly, to the fans and everyone involved in supporting us for the past 22 years.
Thank you so much.
I want to continue running forward with the five of us, I hope you will stay with us.
REITA
Thank you for your hard work.
With everyone by our sides, we will continue to protect the GazettE...I promise.
I don't want your 22 years go to waste, there are a lot of friends who don't want that either.
Don't forgot to come to the show!
Let's have another good drink together, yea?

Talk shop Tuesday: how many and which fics do have planned or have started writing? Talk about them. 🤭
Omg you brat 🙈💗
So I am, of course, insane, and have a Google Doc to keep myself organized (suddenly wondering why I didn't make a Google Sheet... a change may be in order!)
Anyway, so I have "in-progress," "ideas," "abandoned?" and "completed" lists (and then I link to each of the docs within the doc, because I like organization, okay?). I also have a list of lyrics/title ideas and "homeless pieces of writing" (where I copy and paste things that didn't quite fit into a particular fic) in here as well. It's like my own little master list.
Still along for the insanity ride? I swear there's a method to my madness.
I consider a fic in-progress if I've actually started writing it (as in, I have written actual sentences/paragraphs for it, not just jotted down a few bullet points), so here is that list:
6x06 post-ep fic (Tim's Version - hope to have this done in the next few days, if the muse cooperates)
a very (very) bare bones start to a car accident angst-fest
a beachy AU that may and may not happen
an outsider POV fic I started during Chenford Week last year and am on the fence on finishing (it's sooooo random and and feels kind of pointless, but I love outsider POV fics)
a continuation of our 5x08 spec fic collab (because girl, we cannot leave it like that)
On the ideas front (this includes both ideas with tons of notes/plans, and ones with two bullet points and a prayer):
a smutty reunion of sorts...
a sort of enemies-to-lovers AU (Lucy is either a reporter or a screenwriter... or both?, Tim is a cop)
a what-if sort of scenario - what if Lucy and Emmett dated longer (or got back together) - aka how Tim realizes he's in love with her and makes his move
Contractor Tim AU (iykyk - this is basically born out of my desire to not waste the 10K+ words I started for Linstead - we shall see if I'm able to reimagine it for Chenford)
a collab with you that I think would be so much fun (the experience and the actual fic itself), so I really hope we can make that happen together
a Wildest Dreams-inspired collab with @makeitastrength that'll hopefully be a hiatus project
a little thing that's basically me bashing the go-to jealousy trope and coming at it from a totally different (fluffy) angle
an inkling of an idea to go back and dive deeper into various conversations between Tim and Angela over the years (including scenes we saw on the show and scenes we didn't)
And, for fun, a list of ideas I've abandoned (maybe temporarily, maybe forever):
a heartbreaker where Kojo dies - but also included a trip down memory lane at some moments in his/their life so it wasn't pure sadness (full disclosure, this was basically my personal therapy after my dog died a few weeks ago. I am so sorry Kojo, I promise I'm your number one cheerleader)
a fun group/couples game night (the result of me misreading a prompt that said "it's a fight, couples fight" and then the idea of the couples battling it out took over my mind... 😅)
I feel like I'm missing a few more, but this is already the longest, most insane response ever... and if you made it to the end? Congratulations/I'm sorry.
ILY 💖

hi! i just wanted to say that you are absolutely my favorite acnh creator, i always look forward to your posts, as i find so much inspiration from your content. i love your decorating style so much, it’s so simple and almost nostalgic. i always look forward to visiting your islands, i enjoy them immensely, they give me such a warm and comforting feeling. so thank you for that!
i think it’s super neat that nordsea is your forever island. i was wondering if you would be able to post a picture of every map from each version of nordsea you’ve finished thus far. i think it would be fun to see all the different versions next to each other, to see how many ways you can design the same island. i’ve never even finished one island, but you’ve finished so many, with the same exact canvas. your creativity and talent truly knows no bounds!! :)
hii, tysm for this super sweet message😭💛 i appreciate your support so so much, thank you for taking time to write this to me😳🥺💕 sharing my islands and talking about them on here brings me a lot of comfort and makes me enjoy the game so much more!! im happy to be here and i do truly appreciate anyone who stops by my blog💛 the fact that it can be a comforting place for others and not just myself makes me feel so happy😭
now the reason it took me a minute to respond to this ask is bc of this post request! i dont mind at all if anyone wants to make a post suggestion like this, its all good and fun, but.. you really got me here😂 i dont loooove my maps in general and im also sadly terrible at saving the ones from nordsea bc the da has been the same for two years now so i dont need to keep track u know👀 i already know i dont have every single one saved so im sorry about that! however i will do this for sure with as many maps as i can find, im working on it now💕
this is the oldest map i have of nordsea! you can still see the original version and im always surprised bc this is not at all the map i would pick today👀 but yea, thats the base, i’ll get back to you on the rest😅💛
