Genuinely 90% of historical fiction would be so much better if more writers could get more comfortable with the fact that to create a good story set in a different time period you do actually have to give the characters beliefs & values which reflect that time period

(IDOLiSH7) Never Green - GREEN BUBBLE [English Translation]

Link to my Twitter post with the color-coded lyrics

Lyrics:

I can be anything ... ever ...

はじまりを辿るような最果てを巡るような

Hajimari o tadoru you na, saihate o meguru you na

As if tracing the beginning, as if circling the farthest ends,

記憶の旅はいつも少し苦く僕の心揺らす

Kioku no tabi wa itsumo sukoshi nigaku boku no kokoro yurasu

The voyage through memories always leaves my heart shaken with a hint of bitterness

あの日見えた空は何色だった

Ano hi mieta sora wa nani iro datta

What color was the sky I saw on that day?

そんなことも忘れちゃう

Sonna koto mo wasurechau

I’ll end up forgetting even such things

(きっと)いつの日かそう

(Kitto) itsu no hi ka, sou

(Surely) someday, that’s right

何度眠れずに夜を越えた?

Nando nemurezu ni yoru o koeta?

How many nights did I spend sleeplessly crossing over

辿り着いた朝の眩しさに

Tadoritsuita asa no mabushisa ni

To the radiance of the morning that finally arrived?

振り返れば今も綺麗だな

Furikaereba ima mo kirei da na

When I look back, they’re still just as beautiful

きみと過ごした日の面影 (I just remember)

Kimi to sugoshita hi no omokage (I just remember)

The memories of the days I spent with you (I just remember)

後悔を携えたままじゃ

Koukai o tazusaeta mama ja

If I’m only ever carrying regrets,

気付けないことがあると気付いたから

Kizukenai koto ga aru to kizuita kara

I recognized there are things that I may never recognize

What I gained from

What I gained from

The time spent with you

What I gained from

What I gained from

The time spent with you

New day (for me) new me (for me)

It made me who I am today

思い出と呼べるほど優しくはないけれど

Omoide to yoberu hodo yasashiku wa nai keredo

Though they aren’t warm enough to be called reminiscences,

たしかにそこに在った日々はいつも僕を強くさせる

Tashika ni soko ni atta hibi wa itsumo boku o tsuyoku saseru

Those days that undoubtedly existed, always make me stronger

大人になるほどに失うことは怖いから

Otona ni naru hodo ni ushinau koto wa kowai kara

The older I become, the more afraid I feel of losing something

今でも(ずっと)臆病だけど

Ima demo (zutto) okubyou dakedo

So even now (constantly), I’m still a coward, but

愛を知ることに躊躇しても大切なものは守れない

Ai o shiru koto ni chuucho shitemo taisetsu na mono wa mamorenai

If I keep hesitating to realize love, I can't protect what's important

握り締めた手の中にある

Nigirishimeta te no naka ni aru

In the grasp of my tightly clenched hands, they’re there

きみがあの日くれた言葉が (save me forever)

Kimi ga ano hi kureta kotoba ga (save me forever)

The words you gave me that day (save me forever),

立ち止まり震えてた僕を導くみたいに連れ出してくれたから Tachidomari furueteta boku o michibiku mitai ni tsuredashite kureta kara

Even as I stood still, trembling, they led me forward, as if guiding me

傷だらけになってもちゃんと 笑えてるのは

Kizu darake ni natte mo chanto waraeteru no wa

Despite being covered in bruises, the reason I’m able to smile is

前を向いていられたから

Mae o muite irareta kara

Because I was able to keep moving forward

今の僕はあの頃とは少し 違う

Ima no boku wa ano koro to wa sukoshi chigau

The person I am now is slightly different from the one I was back then

変わり続けよう

Kawaritsuzuke you

Let's keep changing

振り返れば今も綺麗だな

Furikaereba ima mo kirei da na

When I look back, they’re still just as beautiful

きみと過ごした日の面影 (I just remember)

Kimi to sugoshita hi no omokage (I just remember)

The memories of the days I spent with you (I just remember)

後悔を脱ぎ捨てた僕は

Koukai o nugisuteta boku wa

After casting aside my regrets,

少しだけ強く優しくなれたから

Sukoshi dake tsuyoku yasashiku nareta kara

I was able to become just a little stronger and kinder

What I gained from

What I gained from

The time spent with you

What I gained from

What I gained from

The time spent with you

New day (for me)

New me (for me)

It made me who I am today

Info / Explanations for the Curious

All ages are one year up from their currently listed age. The newly released ages for 4Piece are confirmed to be before their current year birthdays, meaning they will age up during the year.

While Jin and Akiomi's ages are currently listed in !!/ES1 Era as 31-32 and 29-30 on their profiles, respectively, these ages are not widely agreed upon, due to them not lining up with the Main Story's stated ages (which would be one year younger for each). Therefore, I used a wider range encompassing both of these possible ages.

Rinne and Niki never attended high school, and Niki therefore did not graduate with any of the ! Era third years, while Rinne would have been a third year during the War, had he attended.

Rei was held back due to his time abroad in his second year, making him one year older than the other ! Era Yumenosaki third-years, which he graduated with.

Tatsumi and Ritsu were both held back in their second years, due to Tatsumi's hospitalization and Ritsu's chronic absences due to his condition and lack of motivation, making them one year older than the other !!/ES1 Era third-years. Therefore, Ritsu recently graduated from Yumenosaki at the end of !!/ES1 Era March, while Tatsumi graduated from Reimei Academy around the same time.

Kaname was a first year alongside Jun during the Reimei Revolution (while Tatsumi was a second-year). Therefore, had he not been rendered comatose, he would have graduated Reimei Academy with Jun at the end of the !!/ES1 Era, making him the same age as the other !!/ES1 Era third years.

Hitsugi was admitted to the producer course during !!/ES1 Era as a second year, much like Anzu the year before, placing his age as the same as the other current !!!/ES2 third years. (While Hitsugi is 17-18 NEGI identifies as his older sister, likely putting her conscious around the age Hitsugi's original older sister died).

Current HiMERU's age is unknown, though he's older than Kaname and ran away young after his mother died, having never known about Kaname's existence until many years later. Therefore, his age range is typically placed in the early 20s, the most common estimate putting him around Rinne's age.

Seiya and Gatekeeper's ages are unknown, though they are typically estimated to be slightly older than Jin and Akiomi (mid-late 30s), with Gatekeeper seen as older, due to Gatekeeper's long history with Godfather (while Seiya is still an active idol with a late-teenage son).

I have decided that I need an unhinged ORV and Idolish7 fusion or crossover or something, except I don't know how it would take.

Putting it under a cut.

Because on the one hand, you could put the i7 characters into the ORV story, have Tsumugi be the reader obsessed with idol light novels or something and being fixated upon this novel about idols in a post apocalyptic world still singing and dancing for the stars, trying to become stars themselves despite knowing it's almost futile. At the very least consider how Tenn would still go, "We must keep singing even in the apocalypse as long as there is one fan, guys. Be professionals"

Also, it would imply that they all have killed another human being to get past the first scenario (though I feel like a lot of i7 would figure out the living thing loophole. Not Yamato, though.)

OR. I could have the ORV characters into the i7 world, which is its own mess. Somehow, I feel like YJH, KDJ, and HSY would be something of three:vale, I simply don't know who is who.

OR, fusion. The plot of ORV still happens and i7 narrative happens after the apocalypse, which is why the timeline is so messed up. In this essay -

You'll still love me even though ansta music has officially gone global right? ~(>_<。)

ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem

With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see

do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive

(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)

feeling nostalgic for fandom meta. Yeah incorrect quotes and memes are cool but have you tried an in depth psychological analysis of your fave with supporting evidence and quotes from their source material? Have you used tumblr’s unique format to your full advantage to ramble on and on about the tropes that they address and subvert and how their arc changes and develops? Have you ever sat down with a spreadsheet to get real autistic about all of their canon iterations and compared it to fanon portrayals?

I have realized that the perfect form of media must have a delicate balance between absolutely heart wrenching pure emotional devastation and the most ridiculous nonsense you have ever seen in your whole life
