goodness gracious,, i went back on this account to fetch a post from my privates and ended up getting hit with a ton of nostalgia while backreading my own posts. :,D
i missed you guys a lot. i missed my moots, my readers, and my silly anons that request the cutest headcanons and scenarios. i didn't want to continue posting on this account, but i feel like i can find some leftover energy in me to try and polish this account a bit. ^^ i'd love to edit my layout, my username, go by an online alias, and more just to make myself comfortable on posting here again. so maybe i'll be having a comeback,, :O
real talk,, how've you guys been ?!?
while waiting for your guys' response, i've been pretty alright :D!! i've been busy in school up until now since it's HOLY WEEK, so we get a break. ^^ my birthday is also coming up soon (april 9), i can't believe i'll be spending another birthday with you guys :D!!
this is the future i plan for this account:
the content i'll post may change. i'm leaning more toward genshin impact right now, but HQ definitely still holds a special place in my heart (AHEM,, AHEM,, KITA SHINSUKE MY #1 DARLING 😋♥️). my life updates will definitely still continue, so will my oc and art dump.
please be patient with me as i fix this account and find the motivation to write again. luv you all :3!!

Sengoku Youko Episode 1: We Are Those Who Lament This Barbaric Age
I'm pretty sure I'd be fine with anything after the travesty of Lucifer an The Biscuit Hammer, but White Fox seems plenty committed to Sengoku Youko, delivering a comfortably enjoyable first episode! Of course, because it was so good, I've got plenty I want to chat about.
First of all, let me level my complaints. I hate it when series have blown out highlights for bright scenes. I think it's ugly and unless your point is to emphasize the heat or brightness of a scene that it accomplishes nothing but crushing the colors of the scene. Just look at these two examples. The left has those overblown highlights and the right doesn't. Obviously one of these is better than the other.
And really, that's the only severe complaint I have with the episode. I think some of the animation was a little lacking for its focus on action, but I wouldn't say it's ever bad. Just more so that there's not quite the amount of movement that you might hope to see out it.
Similarly, the boards for some of the action sequences aren't the greatest. In their atomized pieces it's plenty fine, but put together they can create an awkward to follow sequence like this one.
And that's about all I can muster as a complaint against the episode. It's great fun, it's got some great layouts, there's good lighting and drawings, and it really heightens the energy of the manga while doing a great job of maintaining a healthy relationship between the action and comedy.
I think one of the most enjoyable aspects of this debut episode though was the overall direction of it. It had an undeniably classic feel to the approach that emphasized a lot of camera movement alongside character acting to bring out the energy in it. You might argue that too much camera movement and rotation can become a cheap trick, and I'd say you're right, but at the same time when you're working with someone like Mizukami, sometimes those aspects end up meshing really well with the style. And I'd say this is one of those times.
It's fun and brings out the most in the more "stereotypical" aspects of the character's personalities. A grand rotation around Youko, for example, really helps with selling the self-purported grandeur of their statement to the bandits they're addressing.
But that's about all I have to say, really. The episode does what a first episode should: entice the viewer. It shows off the power system centering around Youko and Jinka, gives Shinsuke his character motivation, and even goes as far as creating the basis for the complicated situations and nature of Katawara (thanks to the cliff hanger).
It hits every base required for a good episode from a written standpoint, and comfortably supplements that with well polished and high energy work. It might not be a 'Tis Time For Torture, Princess, but it definitely gives viewers the confidence they need to believe that this will be a good watch.
So obviously, because of all of that I'm looking forward to seeing where end up going in the next episode!

This is, like the summary says, the introduction to my latest idea. There will be about 75 fics (I may include more characters at popular request). This idea was born out of two facts:
1.) It is damn near impossible actually hate any Haikyuu character

WOW! That's a lot! Let's lay down some information:
1. Each character will get their own story, including ones that are usually grouped together (i.e. the Miyans or Ukai and Takeda).
2. There will be at least one chapter per story, with at least 3,500 words each. The chapters will not be a continuous story.
3. This all happens in the same universe, so there won't be different ships (Hinata will only be with Kageyama, for example)
4. There will be no rape, major character death, or suicide
5. My heart can't handle anything but happy endings, so there's that
6. The only post timeskip fics will probably be Atsumu and Sakusa
7. Have an idea or headcanon you'd love to see? TELL ME!! I don't have a lot of ideas for most of these characters!
8. These stories are just {character}-centric fics. That doesn't mean that they will all be the same layout. Some may be 5+1, others may a singular story.
9. I basically said this earlier, but these all exist in the 'canon' verse- so no college or soulmate au
10. THERE WILL BE NO READER INSERT/SECOND PERSPECTIVE/FIRST PERSPECTIVE. It makes me extremely uncomfortable.
11. I have never seen a schedule I haven't wanted to burn on sight. This means that my updates will be sporadic. BUT, you know whose story is coming next, so...
12. These fics are also a way for me to practice writing. That means that some may be in weird styles. (i.e. very flowery, no dialogue, etc) If that happens, you can be completely assured that there will also be a 'normal' fic as well, to accommodate the people who dislike those styles. *This does not apply with 5+1
13. I most likely will not get through the entire list before adding chapters to certain fics. Sorry, but my favorite characters will get more attention. Good news, my favs literally change every day!
That's it! I will be posting the stories on Ao3, so you can check me out there:
