MEMORY LANE (AU)

A/N: I meant to post this Jan. 1st, 2024, but never got around to it!!!

Feel free to reblog!!!

ENJOY

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

It's Cevyn and Bucky's 4th wedding anniversary, and their 9th best friend anniversary. But since Buck is on a mission, Cev has nothing better to do than go down memory lane from when they first go together.

Quick timeline:

Besties: Dec. 31st, 2014

Dated: Dec. 31st, 2016

Married: Dec. 31st, 2020

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Cevyn walks into the common living room finding Natasha, Yelena, and Clint.

Cevyn: hey guys

C/Y/N: hey! Happy anniversary!!!

Cevyn: Thank you, lovelies!!!

She joins them on the couch as they indulge in some action movie.

Yelena: We know it was yesterday and Bucky couldn't be here.

Cevyn: it's fine, I told him I'd figure out what I wanted by the time he got back today.

They hum.

Out of nowhere, She decides to ask a question.

Cevyn: ...Ya'll remember when i was such a whore back in 2021?

Yelena: SUCH A WHORE!!!

Natasha: ABSOLUTELY, HOW THE HELL COULD WE FORGET!?!?

Yelena: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?!

The girls talk over each other making Cevyn laugh, while Clint violently chokes and spits out his beer. Cevyn and Natasha tap him on his back.

Cevyn: Yo, you good?

Clint: *cough, cough* No, no!!! *cough* Im not good!! I- I dont think i should be listening to this!!!

Natasha and Yelena laugh. He tries to get off the couch but nat pulls him back down and crosses her legs over top of his motioning Cevyn to do the same to keep him there. She lays her head in Yelena's lap.

Natasha: Sit down, she was a menace last year. youll wanna hear this!

He gives up. Sounds like good tea any damn way. (We all know Clint is one of the girls!!!)

Yelena: Cevy, what happened?

Cevyn: well after my 2 year relationship failed, i decided to have some... fun. Safe fun.

Natasha: Yeah, a WHOLE year worth of 'fun'.

Clint: that asswhole cheated on you didnt he?

Cevyn: yup

Clint sighs.

Clint: Why didnt you call me?

Cevyn: Cause i handled it... no ones gonna miss him.

C/Y/N: WHAT!?!?

She laughs.

Cevyn: im kidding!... maybe.

Clint looks at nat.

Clint: And what do you mean by a whole year?

Nat sighs and rubs her temples at the very fond memories of the year before.

Natasha: a different guy. Each day. 365 days in a year. You do the math.

Clint: CYNTHIA ELINA VALYN YAZMINE NOELLE STRYKER!!!

Cevyn side-eyes him at the use of her government name.

Clint: what the hell?!?! Didnt you have missions???

She smirks as Yelena burst out laughing.

Clint: my god

Cevyn: yup, i called upon him a couple of times. It was also more ladies than guys.

Yelena calms down from damn near dying.

Yelena: WHAT?!?! ARE YOU SAYING I COULDVE BEEN ONE OF THEM?!?!

Cevyn: im sorry baby, and it was only 364. I didnt have anybody on new years eve.

Yelena mumbles.

Yelena: could've had me...

Cevyn sits up and kisses her cheeks.

Cevyn: Maybe next time, boo. But Doesnt mean i didnt do anything though.

Yelena: whatd you do?

Cevyn: Well...

Flashback: Tony's Avengers ONLY New years eve pajama party 2021

Cevyn's PJs

(For once Tony didn't want a hell of a lot of people around.)

The party was BANGIN'!!! It was getting close to midnight, There was tons of liquor, everybody was dancing, Cevyn got so drunk she gave a full on lipsync concert. After that, she walked into the kitchen to grab some water.

When she walked in she saw her best friend Bucky and the one shady bitch she could never stand: Sharon. It seriously bothered her that bucky would choose that thing to date out of any woman in the world, which she reminded Buck daily about.

Theres a reason why Cevyn hates Sharon. Before Cevyn's last relationship, she caught the bitch sucking him off. After that, Sharon tried to act as if nothing ever happened. (Tryna be her friend and shit, bitch you know what the fuck you did!)

Finally, when she gave up and started dating Buck, Cev plotted her revenge. If bitches feel that they can take and play the delusional card, two can play that game. She walks over, purposely bumping Sharon out of the way to stand on her tiptoes wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a loving kiss on Bucky's cheek.

Bucky: Hi Cevy.

Cevyn: Hi Bucket.

Sharon scoffs as he wraps his arms around her voluptuous body, damn near feeling her up. He returns the kiss close to the corner of her mouth, a sight Sharon doesn't miss.

She shoves Cev out of the way. Cevyn was about to swipe Sharon across her face but Bucky caught her wrist and turned her around slowly.

As she opens the fridge she mumbles about how she was gonna snatch this hoe up by the hair on the nape of her neck and slang her on the floor resulting in dog walking her like the bitch she is.

Bucky: Sharon, the hell did you do that for?

Sharon: Oh, when she does it theres no problem, but when i do it there is?

Bucky scoffs, making Cev turn around snickering.

Bucky: Oh god, im not doing this with you.

Sharon walks away damn near on the brink of tears, which no one cares about. Bucky lets her go, reaching to grab a cupcake from the cake tower. As he grabs it, frosting gets on his metal thumb. Before he can grab a napkin, Cevyn takes his hand.

Cevyn: Dont worry, baby. Ill lick it up

Bucky: Its okay- oh shit!

Hes cut off as she latches her soft, plump lips around the tip of his thumb, gently sucking the tip. She pulls back with a pop that echos throughout the kitchen, even though the music is pretty loud.

Cevyn: What was that?

Bucky stumbles over his words trying to get out of the trance shes put him in.

Bucky: I-I- I dont-

Keeping eye contact, she kitten licks his thumb. She plays confused while smirking.

Cevyn: You dont what, baby? Whats wrong?

He continues to stammer and look between her eyes and her tongue rounding circles on his thumb, placing it back in her mouth.

Bucky: I dont know w-whats happening... but- but i like it.

She smiles. She moves to kiss his lips mumbling against them.

Cevyn: Mm-hm *kiss* I know you do *kiss* Keep your eyes on mommy, ok?

He nods absentmindedly slipping into a place he's never been before: ✨️SUBMISSION✨️ With his thumb back in its rightful spot, and continuous eye contact, she gets on her knees, holding his wrist, sucking faster. She unzips her onsie letting her tits spill out.

She places his right hand on her boob for him to squish. She moves her hand feeling him grow in his sweatpants. She moves off of his thumb to pull his sweats and boxers down to reveal his dick. Before he can say anything, shes fast like lightning, sucking his tip greedily then deepthroats him causing his knees to weaken and a string of 'holy fucks' to leave his mouth, catching him off guard. She giggles and moans sending vibrations around his shaft.

5 minutes go by and Sharon walks back in. She hears moans so she tries to be silent. She gets around the island and sees Cevyn on her knees with her eyes rolled back as Bucky fucks her throat. Cevyn looks over to see her standing with her jaw dropped. She sends her a menacing wink, smirking with her mouth full, cum dribbling down the side of her mouth.

She pulls away from Bucky swallowing every drop. She pulls up his sweats, using his thumb to swipe up his sweet sticky leftovers just to suck it off, and stands up to fix her clothes, but Bucky stops her picking her up to sit her on the island, and latches on to her nipple, making her laugh. She rubs her hands through his hair still eyeing up Sharon.

Cevyn: Enjoying the show?

Bucky turns his head, not so concerned about the situation at hand. Hes had a thing for Cev for a long time. But he made the mistake of dating Sharon to take his mind off of her. He smiles at her, picks up Cevyn wrapping her legs around his waist, walking out of the kitchen.

Cevyn: Paybacks a bitch, aint it?

Bucky: We're done Sharon.

Cevyn laughs. Bucky gets in the elevator.

Cevyn: where we going?

Bucky: To our floor. Where im gonna fuck you SENSELESS and make you cum so hard while we count down. Is that alright with you mama?

She smirks.

Cevyn: Yes, daddy.

End of flashback

As Nat and Yelena clapped and cheered, Clint sat puzzled.

Clint: didnt you ruin a relationship?

The girls laugh.

Cevyn: More like rescued Bucky because that shit show was doomed from the beginning. He's mine now, and I don't plan on letting him go anywhere.

Buck sneaks up behind. He gently pulls her head back, planting multiple kisses on her lips putting a smile on her face.

Cevyn: Hi baby.

Bucky: Hi mama. Happy anniversary.

Cevyn: happy anniversary. Oh, speaking of...

She gets up, rounding the couch.

Cevyn: I know what I wanna do now.

Bucky: Whats that?

She whispers in his ear.

Cevyn: Mind-blowing, life-altering, earth-shattering sex.

Without a second thought, he taps her thighs, signaling her to jump up.

Bucky: SOLD!!!

He runs them out of the room.

C/Y/N: BYE GUYS!

C/B: BYE!

Cevyn: IF YOU HEAR SCREAMING, ITS NOT ME!!!!

FIN.

ARTICLE TODAY‼️

Jongsuk cut.

[Osen] 'Acting Grand Prize' SBS = Namgoong Min vs Seo Hyun Jin · MBC = Lee Jong Suk · KBS =? (comprehensive)

As the terrestrial three major acting awards are approaching, attention is focused on which actor will taste the glory of the grand prize.

With MBC opening the acting awards first on the 30th and SBS and KBS broadcasting the acting awards the next day on the 31st, the MBC and SBS Drama Awards are somewhat outlined who will win the grand prize, while KBS is still uncertain.

This year's MBC dramas did not perform well, but among them, 'Big Mouth' starring Lee Jong-suk was the only one that exceeded 10% in viewer ratings, as well as attracting attention and gaining popularity.

MBC released 'Tracer', 'Showtime from Now!', 'Tomorrow', 'Dr. 'Golden Spoon' was also a topic, but the viewership rating did not exceed 10%.

For this reason, Lee Jong Suk of 'Big Mouth', which caught both viewership ratings and topicality, is likely to be the grand prize winner. Lee Jong Suk won the grand prize in 2016 for the drama 'W', and if he receives the grand prize trophy this time, he will be the first male actor to win the MBC 'acting grand prize' twice in six years.

'Lee Jong Suk Deserves to Win'

The Freedom of Expression, Radio version. Ep 14, Jan 2016.

Kaoru starts by commenting on the new year, and the fact that the show is now in its fourth month. After introducing Joe, Joe asks him what he usually does at New Year. Kaoru says he drinks till late, and sleeps till late, and after that just eating and sleeping. Joe says he was working on Dec 31st and Jan 1st.

As it was the new year, Kaoru mentions there had been a commercial on TV at the time, by a camera company aiming to get people to take more new year photos. This leads him onto his topic of interest: a social experiment in Australia by the camera company Canon, inviting 6 photographers to shoot the same model, but giving each photographer a different backstory for the model. The photos all turned out very different. Kaoru says it really shows the prejudices that people hold. Joe says seeing so many different expressions on one model made him realise how same-y everyone these days has become, always looking at their phones etc. Kaoru then comments on how easily people can be pulled in by what they are told, and how the media uses this to manipulate people. He also brings up an example which a staff member told him, that in Japan, children are told by adults to cross the road when the light at the pedestrian crossing turns 'blue', but to kids the light is obviously green. He then says how these kinds of pre-held conceptions can be scary when the band releases new music, and he really wants people to listen to thier music without prejudice. Joe comments that it is really difficult to totally shut out information these days. Kaoru says that there are some fans of the band who prefer to actually wait till the release of an album before listening to any previews, which he appreciates, but admits it may be difficult.

Next comes the Tokyo Sports corner with Dobashi and Tasai. Their story this time is about the London based company Kurv, who came up with an air guitar that actually plays sound. The player holds an electronic pic in one hand, and a palm sized key pad in the other. Kaoru thinks this could be dangerous if it gets too convenient. In the past, certain technology has tended to dissappear when something more convenient comes along. If this air guitar allows more people who can't play real guitar to actually make music, thats a good thing, but on the other hand, the uniqueness of guitar music could dissappear. He's not sure if it will develop into something serious, or just remain a bit of fun. Tasai mentions that there exists an air guitar championship. He thinks an air guitar which actually makes sound would put a bit of a dampner on this. Kaoru thinks Kurv's air guitar should be recognized as an instrument, not an air guitar. He also says its different from a real guitar in that you can't really express individual nuance with it. Joe then expresses concern that young people will start to not know what the real thing is like if they get too used to this kind of technology. Kaoru agrees, and says that its already happening with amps. Young people these days are using new computer equipment to produce the required sound, as opposed to an actual big, solid amp, and they are not realizing what a real amp actually is.

Joe sees similarities in the fashion world. He doesn't believe fast, cheap clothes are fashion. Rather, clothes that are thoughtfully designed, with a philosophy behind them are true fashion in his mind. Cheap fashion is just a business. However, both Kaoru and Joe admit that they are speaking from the perspective of two critical old guys.

Kami intervenes with a question. Are sounds produced by computers and sounds produced by real music equipment different? Kaoru answers, yes they are different. An amateur may not be able to tell the difference, but for example, if Kaoru let his boss (who is not familiar with the equipment) listen to a simple song demo, he wouldn't be that impressed, but once the song was done properly, he would think it was really cool. The performers feelings make up a big part of the song.

Dobashi then asks Kaoru if he ever used to do air guitar. Kaoru says he used to pretend to play with a broom in front of the mirror.

To finish, Kaoru and Joe coment that for the first show of the year, its been relatively calm. Kaoru then plugs his imminent Budokan shows and talk events scheduled for Jan 2016, and says he hopes to continue making the show interesting for the rest of the year.

Songs - Dir en grey/304 goushitsu, hakushi no sakura, and one other which I couldn't make out.

ANNUAL WRITING SELF EVALUATION

1. List of works published this year:

Fistiana (Zouis) They met in the center of the ring and bumped their bare knuckles together.

sun, here it comes (Larry) The sun beckoned him. He had no plans for the day other than soaking up some rays on his front stoop.

Counterbalance (Larry) Harry Styles loves two things: teaching ballet and racing motorcycles. Those two worlds collide when his greatest rival on the track, Louis “Tommo” Tomlinson brings his tiny siblings to Harry’s class.

get my kicks like you (none) “Wait,” Liam had said. “You all jerked it at Niall’s?” // Zayn had looked back with furrowed brows over his sunglasses. “Yeah?” he confirmed, with a easy shrug. Like Liam was the weird one for asking.

your best fake smile (Larry) Harry reluctantly agrees to a first date with Louis at Coney Island.

Good Boys Do Bad Things (Louis/Bressie) Bressie was a fucking stud and Louis couldn’t fully be blamed for his actions when Bressie was around. Harry had made fun of Louis relentlessly for like four months back in college after Louis had admitted there wasn’t much he wouldn’t do for six feet two. And Bressie was six feet fucking six. // Or, the one where Louis doesn't mean to fall for his boss.

Live Like You Were Dying (Larry) I’m in love with you. // The phone fell from his hand, and the world went black.

Tennis Whites (Larry) Harry settles himself on the bench, puts his sunglasses on, and focuses his attention on the court. // There, in all his glory, is Louis Tomlinson.

The Future Reflected (Larry) Louis didn't take the stupid game seriously. Maybe he should've.

Heart that I Let Down (Larry) Where do broken hearts go? Louis took Harry’s with him when he went to LA, now Harry’s on a mission to find him.

to love in word and deed (Larry) Louis loves everything about living with Harry. Except for Harry's effusive proposals. Because the problem is, it's getting harder and harder for Louis to keep reacting like they're jokes.

There’s a Ring in the House (Larry) Louis knows Harry is going to propose. He's terribly impatient about it.

37 ficlets -- And Let Me Kiss You (multiple pairings)

2. Work you are most proud of (and why):

I love Fistiana so incredibly much. I did what I set out to do which was write a homoerotic boxing fic where Louis is really leaning into "You construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men” in this town where he is not out. I had a whole team of betas and so many people who helped me narrow my focus to what I really wanted to happen and I just really love it a lot. I’ve read it more times than I can possibly count.

3. Work you are least proud of (and why):

Heart that I Let Down only because I love "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" more than anything and while I didn’t fail at getting some emotion in there, I think it’s a lot flatter than what I initially set out to do. But. Time. Deadlines. A super stressful year. I did my best and I’m certainly not beating myself up over it.

4. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

Uhhh so I wrote a Harry/Shawn kiss for And Let Me Kiss You prompts. I love the potential for angst over Niall in that particular pairing. I want there to be more heartbreaking fics where Harry and Shawn are using each other to get over Niall. Come on fandom, do your thing!

Anyway... this is from that:

Harry appreciates the honesty. This, thing, isn’t going to linger. It’s what they need, now, to soothe over their pain. “Want to feel what he left me for,” Harry says over a choked breath.

Shawn leans in the rest of the way, and while it doesn’t lessen the pangs–-the sadness, the longing, the questioning of where it all fell apart–-they're muted for as long as their bodies are pressed together.

5. Share or describe a favorite review you received:

Literally all of the nice ones? I love comments. They see me through the hard times and even though I’m shit at responding to them I really do love them all so very much. God, and comments when my fics are still anon? I just... I love them so so so much. I think I have a very special place in my heart for everyone who told me that they related to your best fake smile. Sending big huge hugs to all of those people, specifically.

6. A time when writing was really, really hard:

The entire second half of the year, to be honest. I got some shitty news at work at the end of May that just never improved and it made focusing on a lot of other things really hard and my writing time and effort just plummeted because I didn’t have enough bandwidth.

7. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

All of The Future Reflected was a surprise that never in a million years would I have guessed I’d write something like that.

8. How did you grow as a writer this year:

Oof. To be totally honest I have exactly zero idea how to answer this for 2019.

9. How do you hope to grow next year:

I hope to be better at plotting and writing longer fics.

10. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

@kingsofeverything. ILY!

11. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

It does every year!

12. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

Um. No. I think I’m in a funk with my own writing and the idea of trying to pass on wisdom feels futile at this juncture of my life.

13. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:

I will finish my Lucifer AU if it will kill me!

14. Tag three writers whose answers you’d like to read.

I am posting this so very late because to love in word and deed was anon until Dec 31st, that probably everyone else has done it!

*All answers should be about works published in 2019. Also, you can skip any questions you hate or don’t want to answer, but please leave them on the list so that others can do them if they want.

(also, here’re my responses from 2016, 2017, 2018)

Note

I was just re-reading "Prey". It's a wonderfully crafted story and the work you put in to it is clear in every line. Reading your notes I understand why it's unfinished. It's very special nonetheless. It does make me picture the parallel universe where we still have Carrie and Rian got to steer Episode IX. The Leia and Ben scenes we would have been blessed with. Your characterisations make me wish I lived in that universe.

Aw Anon...thank you so much for your words here. I am so sorry it’s taken me awhile to reply properly, but I wanted to make sure I had the space and time to write you back so I hope you forgive me. PREY is my child. My baby. Never have I written a story so long in my life. But nothing ever screamed as clearly to me as that story did, in its entirety, in January 2016 which is when I sat down and wrote a 30+ page outline for it after starting it on Dec. 31st 2015. I never write outlines. And I thank my brain and the muses for gifting me with it. While it’s not a perfect piece (my biggest personal complaint is that a few of the characterizations are too shallow for my liking, but it’s only because I wasn’t able to climb into some of their skins well enough, whereas Kylo and Leia and Petrova, etc., were easy for me. Even Rey was a challenge because after TFA I felt like we still didn’t quite have enough information for her, so I had to rely on Rey’s Survival Guide and the TFA novel and guesswork. And even when TLJ came out, it still didn’t feel quite like enough. Ironically TROS added a good bit to Rey’s personality.) there are moments in it that I feel are perfect and that I love a lot. And it makes me beam so brightly that you saw them and loved them, too. Leia and Kylo’s dynamic in its fully fleshed out form is something that was stolen from us by fate and the universe and I’ll forever be sad about it. There was so much potential for Solo family snark there...Imagine Rey getting caught in the middle of all that and suddenly seeing the hidden sass in both her mentor and her lover! 😂😂😂 It’d have been priceless. But alas..... While PREY is stuck in a sort of semi-permanent hiatus, I still have dreams of somehow finishing that story. I don’t know when or how, but...it’s going to happen. Nothing would change from its original outline from January 2016 I don’t think. I like the climax of my story so much that I WANT to tell it and present it to you guys, because I think it puts the shitty line we got in TROS to shame. A lot of our fanfic stories do. And I’m anxious to have mine join those fantastic others. This reply got really long, but I think about PREY a lot and I just want to thank you for telling me your thoughts about it, anon, and letting me mumble about it a little. Please don’t give up on the story. Messages like yours remind me that I still have a job to do, and even if you’re the last person reading it, I’ll find some way to get it to you. Thank you, anon. :,)

End of the Decade

This time of year is always difficult for me. I give myself a long list of goals and projects to accomplish, and never quite finish any of them. The weight of those perceived failures pile up year after year, and as Dec. 31st approaches I feel like I’m worthless.

This song was written during an especially rough time where I really felt like there was no point making it to the following year because I would just continue to disappointment myself and everyone I love.

As the decade closes, I wanted to change my perspective and try to celebrate the things I did accomplish rather than lament over everything that didn’t get crossed off the list. I hope that anyone who has similar thoughts and anxieties can do the same and begin the new decade feeling hopeful rather than being overwhelmed by your goals or paralyzed by fear.

I already have a long list for 2020, mostly things I didn’t finish this year or the years prior, but I will try to refocus my attention on the things I have done, rather than punish myself for the things I haven’t.

2010 - Insouciant released the Dresser album which I recorded and mixed in addition to performing on, Insouciant played countless shows often to very, very small audiences but it was still so much fun and I hold those memories very dear to my heart, I also released 2 albums under my own name before going by Hides A Well a couple years later

2011 - I had the privilege to record and mix Annoying Customer’s Intervals album, and presented at the NAMM convention helping to introduce the world to Vintage Vibe pianos

2012 - Went on road trips to music festivals in both Chicago and Asheville, went camping in Lake Durant which was Bridgette and mine’s first trip together, and presented at the NAMM convention again

2013 - Traveled to Scotland, recorded and mixed Insouciant’s Variable Resistor EP, released the first full length Hides A Well album plus 2 EPs, recorded a Please Exist album, and composed the score for Fallout Chronicles chapter 2 (my first attempt at film scoring)

2014 - Traveled to Portugal and Turks and Caicos, released 2 Hides A Well EPs, recorded and mixed the Parliament of Owls album and composed the Fallout Chronicles chapter 4 score.

2015 - Traveled to Austin and went on my first cruise to Mexico, Honduras, and Belize, wrote, recorded and mixed a Hides A Well EP and full length Album, recorded and mixed 2 audiobooks

2016 - Published The Jellyfish Monster and the first issue of my comic series, Fallen, went on a road trip to NC, SC, GA and Orlando, FL to relive my childhood, recorded and mixed 3 audiobooks, an EP, the NotRock comp, and composed the score for the 5th Fallout Chronicles chapter

2017 - Adopted Emma, published The Maple Tree Monster and the 2nd issue of Fallen, traveled to Portland and Seattle, as well as a road trip to Vermont, and recorded a Please exist album

2018 - Traveled to Denmark and Sweden, contributed to the 10th (and maybe final) NotRock Holiday Compilation

2019 - Self published my third children’s book, The Space Monster, released a Hides A Well CD that had been in the works since 2015, composed the score for the 8th Fallout Chronicles chapter, married my Best Friend, took a cruise to Maine and Canada, traveled to Iceland, started work on Fall again after a long hiatus, and finished what is hopefully the final draft of my novel, Without A Star, even if I didn’t actually get it published

While I can add a longer list of projects I didn’t finish, that’s not too shabby. All I can do now is try to top myself in the next 10 years.

Kagerou Project References ~ Novel II Timeline Notes (credit to: here / translator / summarizer: zkmn) from “- a headphone actor -”, Yuukei Yesterday III, Japanese version*: (timeline notes by a much older 2k12 era translator): (emphasises / bolding / italics / etc. mine) (*please understand they were using the Japanese edition as a reference + translating / summarizing from it) (friendly reminder re: official Routes order:) [ Music (+”extra editions”) -> Manga -> Novels -> ??? MCA [Anime] ??? is the “closest to the latter” - Jin -> any ??? etc.? -> ] (*please note MCA does not have an official timeline listed in the Kagerou Project 2016 guide unlike the others linked) (*Children Record is also the “opening theme” of the project as a whole**) (*Summertime Record is also the “ending theme” of the project as a whole**) [**...thus far]

It’s the middle of summer. [present day]

After (!!!) the school festival, Takane and Haruka became second year students.

At the moment, they’re in school for a summer course (extra lessons)

Which is more like working through a gigantic pile of practice questions

After the festival ended, Takane and Haruka cleaned up the classroom. (Some various exchanges occured between them and Kenjirou here) (see the linked summary for further notes but please remember) (this was 2k12 era and many later plot things weren’t revealed yet)

Unlike Takane, academics-wise, Haruka’s good enough to not need to come for summer classes, but because his attendance record is dismal, he has to come anyway.

She remembers that last Christmas* [*timeframe], Haruka came up with a plan for a Christmas party and got her and Kenjirou to join in. Since it was his birthday* as well, [*December 24th, Christmas Eve] she thought to give him a surprise by buying him a nice present… but on the day itself, he had an attack and collapsed. [*basically, Haruka’s birthday had passed here.]

Since he was rushed to hospital soon after, he turned out fine, and got discharged after a week*… [*so he is discharged by Dec. 31st or January 1st or so?] but then one month later* it happened again. [*February?] This time it didn’t get better as quickly, and he couldn’t leave hospital for a month* or so. [*March?...]

They both managed to move on to the next year of school (becoming 2nd year high school students)*, [*April 1st is when the Japanese school year begins] but Haruka’s condition seemed to become worse and his attacks happened more frequently.

Back to present day*. [*”middle of summer”] Haruka has another attack etc.

She heads back to the classroom, and someone calls out to her. It’s Ayano… seems like she came for summer classes too.

Even though [Ayano*]’s only in the first year*, [*of JAPANESE HIGH SCHOOL] her results are terrible

Deciding that this is not a good topic, Takane asks about Shintarou because she doesn’t see him nearby. According to Ayano, his results are good so he doesn’t need summer classes.

this is also the part where Ayano implies [convey your feelings] to Takane

Takane reaches the classroom again after parting with Ayano. Gets the flash of inspiration to tell her feelings to Haruka. But, right after, she has her attack.

She can barely move now. In her fading vision she sees someone standing at the end of the corridor, someone who shouldn’t be here… and she thinks, it took too long for her to realize. It took too long for her to say—”—Haruka, I love you.”

Headphone Actor IV, a next chapter + commences.

“Takane” is waking up and taking note of her surroundings, yells out etc.

"Takane” hears [KENJIROU’S VOICE] talking-

“……1 is a success. Haha……to think that I’d succeed on the first try. It did take a year to prepare.”

“Takane” can see from the other side of the “screen” her body as well as

Haruka’s avatar, Konoha...

Once again she hears “Kenjirou’s voice” talking.

“Anyway, I have the “key” now. With this, I can reopen the next “Kagerou Daze”. Konoha……you’re still……”

Timeline Notes (briefly, not counting the official Routes): takane & haruka are 1st year high school students during the year of the school festival -> (shintaro & ayano are a year below, so, they’re still junior high school 9th graders, “14-going-on-15″ IF we didn’t have the conflicting ages issue going on. the conflicting ages issue means during this timeframe point they might be 15 here using the conflicting ages - but they’re conflicting ages for a reason. because they conflict with the real-world based timeline.) (kido, kano, & seto are all in the same grade, and a year below shintaro & ayano. meaning junior high school 8th graders during this particular timeframe, i.e. the year of Takane & Haruka’s school festival. the japanese school year begins in april and ends in march. birthday order is kano (may) -> kido (next january) -> seto (next march). thus, kano is the oldest of the trio and closest in age to shintaro & ayano, while seto’s the youngest, and kido is some months younger than kano.) (MOMO particularly is a year below Kido, Kano & Seto. during the timeframe of August 15ths, Momo can only be 15 chronologically if going by the real-world timeline, thus, her age particularly conflicts.) [*please see: Japanese school year reference for typical real-world ages. ] [*please see my FAQ for more on the conflicting ages issue!!] the school festival happens -> before this years’ christmas, haruka got the idea for the christmas party -> on the day of his birthday itself, has an attack and collapses -> rushed to the hospital “soon after”, discharged “after a week” so a week post-haruka’s birthday -> one month later it happens again -> haruka can’t leave the hospital for another month or so -> in spring, / April 1st, takane & haruka become 2nd year high school students -> taking summer courses / extra lessons during the middle of summer -> ayano meanwhile is still in the 1st year + with shintaro also as a 1st year, but shintaro isn’t taking the summer classes -> ayano tells takane to tell her feelings before it’s too late [convey our feelings while we’re still alive] -> right after this encounter takane is inspired to confess to haruka takane runs off to do so -> has an attack and passes out -> wakes up wherever “kenjirou’s voice” is / his lab -> “kenjirou’s voice” talking -> kenjirou mentions he “prepared for a year” -> takane sees konoha -> “Anyway, I have the “key” now. With this, I can reopen the next “Kagerou Daze”. Konoha……you’re still……” -> takane encounters [her snake] -> haruka: does not reach his next birthday [december 24th] [”the middle of summer” -> cue all the rest + August 15ths ] -> takane’s birthday: still “ ??? ” (non-existent) + in Yuukei Yesterday I as an aside note, Takane slept for “11 hours”. (this occurs during the time period where the school is still preparing for the school festival / the novels’ start.) - Takane told her grandmother “yesterday” (this occuring before the sleeping for 11 hours bit, that is, she wakes up and refers to “yesterday”) that she wanted tamagoyaki for lunch. - Headphone Actor I chapter is placed before Yuukei Yesterday chapters in chapter order. - The voice [”her own”, coming from Takane’s headphones] asks her - isn’t there a place you need to go? Isn’t there something you need to tell someone?

My yearly tradition...

Every year I draw a portrait of my OC Azra.

I mean I draw him a lot anyway, but I make a point of drawing him as the first drawing of the new year. A few reasons for this. My first being is his birthday is January 1st! I conceived of this fella on December 31st, 2001 into January 1st, 2002 while I was on the phone with a friend while babysitting. Yup. He is 18 years old this year! What a guy what a guy.

Originally he was thought up in conjunction with brother Gabriel (which would also make Gabriel 19 years old). Young thirteen-year-old me was all, “I’ll have a good one and an evil one. They’ll be opposites! One will dress in all black and have black wings and the other will always dress in all white and have white wings!” So. Creative. Anyway, you can guess which one Azra was. Originally named after a remix of a VNV Nation song, he came into this world with the name Azrael and kept it for quite some time (and yeah, technically I guess his full name is still Azrael but bah, he goes by Azra). Gabriel was also named after a remix of the same VNV Nation song but... You guessed it, the Gabriel remix.

Anyway, clearly we have evolved from there. Though I tend to draw Azra in most of my drawings (or the subject of) due to my writings being my inspiration for the majority of my illustrations, I try to focus on a not-so-illustrative-y portrait drawing of him as a “birthday present” to my long outstanding OC, as well as a way for me to judge my abilities from year to year; I put aside all other art and work on this for as long as I can, putting in as much work and detail as I feel I can possibly manage. Some years are harder to tell apart than others, whereas other years are very clear what I’ve learned/improved upon.

So, I’d like to share some with you!

2012

I really only started doing this after college, and some of these aren’t “first of the year” images. Like this one was Dec. 21st, 2012, but it’s close enough that sure, it fits.

(Wow, so angry!)

2014

Still my screen saver...

2015

(Later revisited in the same year to fix the nose)

2016

2017

(I think this one is my favorite and still is today so far)

2018

2019

(Highly in progress!)

Comparison of Zhou Qiluo with Mystic Messenger’s Game Character

This article is done in duplicate, full Chinese version post on Zhihu, website link:https://www.zhihu.com/question/289838807/answer/469228844; full English version post on Tumblr and Twitter, with this Tumblr and Twitter account @mysmelover.

All the pictures are from Internet. The main body is free to reprint. The original author is not responsible for any misunderstanding caused by other language translation.

In case of serious spoilers, please read carefully.

First emphasize, in the article posted by Love and Producer's official weibo account on 0:16 10th, Aug 2018, the first draft of Zhou Qiluo was made by 2014 can not explain the similarity of Zhou Qiluo's image in the new PV release on 1st, Aug 2018 with the game characters of Mystic Messenger launched two years ago.

The progress of game character design is a long progress, and a completed design takes time to be enrich and perfect. We believe, the developed team of both game has made a such deal to Love and Producer and Mystic Messenger. But the great effort does not mean we can just use coincidence to explain the similarity of the game character in them.

Mystic Messenger (hereafter referred to MM) began developing at 2015, launched at both Android and IOS at Aug 2016. When the game launched, the whole character design of 7 game character, player character Main Character (hereafter referred to MC) and the important character Rika has completed. The causal story and deep story is around 5 of them, although at that time, Unknown does not have his own story, but he plays a lot in game's bad ending. Although Cheritz launched V route on Sep 2017 and Ray Route (Ray is Unknown) on 31st, Jan 2018, but: first, this two route is completely independent to the main story, the time, background and story is different; second, before this two route launched, they both had attended the DLC of Christmas, 2016. This all showing that the design of Unknown had also begun at 2015, not 2018.

Love and Producer (hereafter referred to LP) released the internal test at the summer of 2017, and officially launched at Dec 2017. After its launch, the story has updated twice, now goes to Chapter 18 (not end). Here we mainly compare the similarity of Zhou Qiluo and game characters in MM, especially the similarity of Zhou Qiluo's image in new PV with them.

I. The Comparison of Similar Concepts in Two Games' Character

1. Chip

"Chip" is a very important concept of Zhou Qiluo and 707. In LP, Zhou Qiluo met heroine (hereafter referred to Youran) because of a bag of chips in convenience store, then he directly calls Youran as 'miss chip'. 707 has showed his love to Honey Buddha Chip. Many Love and Producer players (hereafter referred to LPers) said, Zhou Qiluo does not love to eat chips, but snacks. However, we can see "chip" is a highlight concepts of LP's early story and advertising.

For example, in LP's Spring Festival advertisement (has been pulled down because of the controversy), chip is a key concept.

In addition, chip is an important concept of two game's marketing. Although the LP has not officially announced the business cooperation relationship with any chip manufacture. In the event of Zhou Qiluo's birthday, many LPers bought chips to celebrate. This matter actually reached the certain marketing purpose, showing "chip" is a key marketing concepts of LP.

Not only LPers, Paper Game (LP's game development company) used "chip" as Zhou Qiluo's keywords. In this year's Chinajoy, they put a bag of chips in Zhou Qiluo's room. They constantly use the "chips", proved the deep connection between the character and the chips.

Coincidentally, Honey Buddha Chip (hereafter referred to HBC) is a frequently element in MM and also an ad of Cheriz. The manufacture of Honey Buddha Chip called HAITAI is one of a sponsor of MM. Therefore, in the game, chips are shown with real logo and looks. This advertisement intuitively affected the sales of HBC. Players bring a lot purchasing.

Actually, LP and MM are not the only games used concept "chips" to design the character, also the real-life's marketing promotion used a quite similar concept. In addition, the Korean version of LP has translated the "chip" into "Honey Chip”.

2. Superhero and Space

Firstly, in many artworks, superhero equals the defender of justice. We consider it as the same concept here.

For superhero, Zhou Qiluo has called himself as the superhero and will take mission to the space. Some LPers said Zhou Qiluo call himself as the superhero because Youran has called him like this. For a same "idea", different games may have different ways to describe. Here we just talk about the similar of concepts, not the story related.

Also 707 has called himself a 'Defender of Justice', and always says he wants to travel to the space, even a wedding at the space station. MM has a spaceship under their game to interface. For the MMers, space is a very romantic point to 707. Many fans have created artworks buy using "space". Therefore, "space" has played an important role of 707.

3. Multiple Personality

For the concept of multiple personality, this two games describe it with two ways.

Performing a multiple personality role

In LP, Zhou Qiluo's surface identity is an idol, he sometimes gets acting job; and in MM, there is a musical actor ZEN. In the new chapter of LP, the upper news (only can be seen in iphoneX) shows Zhou Qiluo will perform a role of triple personality.

Being a musical actor, ZEN has performed many musicals in MM story, and there is a musical about multiple personality originally named Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (the game change few letters of the name). The purpose making ZEN perform this musical not only suit his job, but also imply of Unknown, who is triple personality.

The character is/ may be multiple personality

Zhou Qiluo's disposition has changed a lot in the new chapter with no clear reason. Without the story says he has suffered a lot or experienced some kind of shock, we consider he may be multiple personality.

In MM there is an actual triple personality character Unknown.

4. Duel Identity and Hacker

At the later story in two game, Zhou Qiluo and 707 both have duel identity, and both of them take hacker as their hidden identity. In MM, 707 run away from his parents, and with V's help he studied and become a hacker; In LP, Zhou Qiluo lived in Heaven Welfare Home belongs to Black Swan, and directly taught by key and take over this identity after the former key vanished.

In LP's story, evol is a unique concept. Every game character has different superpower named evol, according to this unique setting, we can describe Zhou Qiluo as: A genius hacker with a superpower.

But 'A genius hacker with a superpower' has appeared in 707's call in MM:

Although superpower is not a very key concept in MM, and 707 dose not actual have superpower, but same way to say it makes people think.

5. Zhou Qiluo's new image in PV is similar with Unknown in MM

Tattoo

In the new PV release in 1st, Aug 2018, Zhou Qiluo has a black tattoo from his right shoulder to arm, Unknown has a same black tattoo, in same arm, in same place. Although their tattoo is different in pattern and meaning, it looks too much familiar at the first sight.

Game CG

Zhou Qiluo's game CG is very similar with one of Unknown's CG, similar posture, similar perspective angle. We zoom the head part and put these two CG together show the line of nose, ear, chin can overlap.

vimeo

Change of the color of hair and eyes

In new PV, Zhou Qiluo changes his hair into white, eyes' color from gold to blue; in MM's story, Unknown's red hair fading after drinking elixir to white and his golden eyes changes to blue.

Change of disposition

In new PV, Zhou Qiluo changes to a cold person from an idolish character; after the brainwashing, Unknown turns into an angry and intense from a soft and introverted. Although their disposition is different both before and after, they both have a enormous change of it.

Outfit

Their outfit also looks similar, black choker, wearing vest or so.

6. Heaven Welfare Home and Mint Eye

In LP', Zhou Qiluo lived in Heaven Welfare Home when he was young, an anonymous man describes it as 'there will happy like in heaven'; in MM, Unknown always say Mint Eye is a heaven can help people and bring happiness.

Heaven Welfare Home is a welfare home which choose little children to grow their superpower, and order to get an ace, they will inject medicine every week. In MM, as the heresy set up by Rika, Mint Eye is aiming on make people happy. Rika thinks only she can heal people, so there is also a regular ceremony in Mint Eye, makes its believer drink a medicine named elixir. This medicine would cause adverse reaction of body, like unclear mind, drinking in long-term even makes people being brain washed. After being adopted Unknown was forced by Rika to drink elixir, causes he being brainwashed, his hair color faded and totally changed into another person, even came out triple personality.

7. The descriptions above are all obvious similar concepts in the two games, and we will list some detailed similarities only slightly analyzed as following:

In the chapter 8 of LP, Youran comes to a party organized by hackers because of a mail. While in MM, MC invites guests coming to the party by mails and other characters also receives mails from Mint Eye in which Unknown stays. Moreover, the final party has always been Mint Eye's goal.

In LP, Youran received a mail from an “Unknown”. And MM’s story begins because MC received messages from Unknown (in prologue chatroom).

In the chapter 8 of LP, Youran has reach a bomb attract in the party, key (Zhou Qiluo) protect her. In the MM story of 707, there is a bomb in MC's apartment, 707 come to the apartment protect her. This bomb also shows in other character's story.

Zhou Qiluo and 707 loving to wear a headset. In Zhou Qiluo’s character design and card there is usually a headset around his neck, same gesture as 707 (just look similar).

II. About Cheritz had Copied Other Game

When Cheritz set up at 2016, it was just a small game company, so as the first game of this company, Dandelion -Wishes brought to you- had given its game character design to an outsourcing company. So to the incident Dandelionis similar with other game named Lamentoin game character's appearance we think, Cheritz just take limited responsibility for it. It is not a very rare situation when outsourcing company causes problem to the game, even Paper Game itself had experienced the same situation. We think, it is not fair to define Cheritz had copied other game just by the mistakes caused by outsourcing company.

Furthermore, if LPers assume Cheritz had copied just because Dandelionis similar with other game named Lamento in game character's appearance, the comparison we mentioned above can not just called coincidences.

III. Respond to some LPers' Query

1. Clarification of two game's designing timeline

LP's official weibo had post an article showed the very first design of four male game character and Youran of this game, the first draft picture of Zhou Qiluo was made by 17th, Oct 2014. And the whole design progress is secret until they released the internal test at the summer of 2017.

According Cheritz's official Tumblr, the first article mentioned about MM was written by 20th, May 2015. In addition, Cheritz has post a team diary on their Tumblr to show the design progress of MM, also made a brochure of design in the VIP package of MM.

On the other side, if LP's team are prior informed about MM, even LP officially said the progress of design has begun at 2014, but the whole progress is undisclosed until 2017, so they had a lot of time to adjust their design then avoid having similar with a game launched way before it. Even LP has launched at the end of 2017, its story is not complete until now, they should have pretty enough time to change their design.

Besides, on the game forum TapTap, LP's developer writes the game cost two year to develop, but in the article post days ago they said they begun develop since 2014, so which one is true?

2. Clarification of 'The traditional Chinese translated name of MM has copied LP'

The traditional Chinese version MM is in charged by a Taiwan prestigious publisher called SNSplus, this company runs all the localization and publishing of MM for official service in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. May because the publisher knowing about LP is popular in mainland China, so they take a temporary name similar of LP (just similar with two former Chinese characters, with the first Chinese character same), but since Cheritz always connect MMers with English and Korean, we doubt they are fully aware of this.

When this temporary name had announced on twitter, many Chinese MMers was worried about the name may cause misunderstanding since LP is very popular at that time. So they sent comments under this announcement asking for change the temporary name. Days later, Cheritz took the advice and change the traditional Chinese translated name of MM.

Using this temporary name to compare with LP's Chinese name can not conclude Cheritz of MM is coping LP.

3. Clarification of 'Chinese MMers better loving foreign games than homebred game'

For many MMers insist that LP and MM do have many similar, some LPers criticize that MMers are kind of worship things foreign (in a badly way). What is more, when we try to explain the issue of the traditional Chinese translated name of MM, they think we put Taiwan aside talking about this problem, it’s actually support Taiwan independence, taking the whole issue to political level.

The reason why we have separate the traditional Chinese version MM to the mainland China is because by the rule of app store, the store of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan stands alone from the store of mainland China. So this is a policy problem, not a political problem.

Many people would play games developed by foreigners, and many foreigners play games made by Chinese team, this is a process of cultural exchange, you should not be proud of just by playing games from any country. The standard of judging a game is not by its country, is by game-play and how careful planning by the designer.

In the very first questionnaire of LP before its launched, they have clearly asked whether you have played MM, therefore the develop team of LP is definitely knowing it. In our opinion, if LP’s development team had found the game itself has a lot similar concepts with MM, even the game was completely designed at that time, the team should change its design to avoid similar, but not launch after MM around two years late. This is the right way to respect all the players loving Love and Producer, loving Zhou Qiluo, and the only way to create their most unique 'dearest one'.
