#NO CUZ WHY IS IT SO BLURRY THATS EMBARRASSING

[anyhao-archived]

okay since i didnt do a fan account for last time i saw vav, i decided i absolutely needed to do it this time especially since jacob was there this time. ill put this under a read more since i ended up talking a lot lol. but a few highlights from last year though real quick:

my mom went with me and she fell in love with st.van who seemed very impressed that a mother liked him so much jdkflgh

ace gets more attractive every time and. red is his color no one else can wear red except him

baron was exceptional at fan service as always

they changed their choreo for it to work for 6 people and i was very sad. but very impressed that they learned it all again

im sure theres more but thats all i can remember specifically off the top of my head. and it was over a year ago oops smh i shouldve wrote it down. anyways this year snapshots were rly expensive so i only got one with jacob and it was so so so worth it. the absolute love of my life apple of my eye my entire WORLD

i personally enjoyed this year much better than last year for a few reasons: it was the same venue who now knew what to do lol and not scrambling like last year. also the sound quality was... off. last year. could hardly hear vocals but this year it was BEAUTIFUL. also!!!! JACOB was there! that on its own makes it worth it for me! also my friend was there with me this year too hehe

also heres my fan account from 2 years ago (the first time i saw vav, with jacob) in case anyone wants to read that one too

ANYWAYS: the fansign. was much more rushed than previous years but that makes sense with the sheer volume of people there. i dont remember what i said to at least half the members lmao but i did tell jacob that i was happy he was here this time and that i missed him. also i literally went mute when i saw ace hahaha

i told lou and st.van thanks for coming (i think?) and originally i was gonna tell lou yeehaw cuz he was wearing a cowboy tie thing but i forgot. 

also ziu kept saying my name over and over except he kept pronouncing it wrong dsjhkgfl that letter ㄹ can be pronounced both as an R and an L. so my name is maiRin but he kept saying maiLin. props to him for trying again and again though lol. ziu’s handshake was so so hard too lol like he wouldnt let go so i told him he had a great handshake and he was like :))) YOU TOO!!. hes so loud and energetic lol

during the hi touch i kept thinking about how tall they are!!! like they mustve grown since last year lmao or maybe i shrunk?? anyways me and my friend made a heart together for the group photo

the concert was FUCKING AMAZING!! like i said they fixed the sound problem from last time so they sounded sooo good. they did all my fave songs except for abc but apparently ayno choreographed runway specifically for the tour bc so many of us wanted it lol

god. ace unbuttoned his shirt during poison and i think my soul left my body. and baron did that tummy tease by lifting up his sweater..... how can they do such a thing to me... im losing my voice and i can pinpoint the exact song why: dance with me. and spotlight. i screamed all those lyrics believe me!! 

ALSO THE STAGE PART?? where they called fans up on the stage? i got SO embarrassed secondhand. the 30 second eye contact made me so nervous that poor girllooked like she was abt to pass out. and then ayno kept coming closer and baron worked together w/ him and made sure she couldnt walk backwards and THEN? WHAT THE FUCK DOES AYNO DO he uses baron as a wall and does the FUCKING WALL SLAM!!!!!!!!! i dont think we screamed louder than at that moment. i couldnt watch some of the fan service it was just. so much.

and at the end!! baron did a huge dance break for poison’s encore stage and he was so close to me. he looked so fluffy and soft but also s*xy in that turtleneck sweater... 

during ending ments. people started chanting for jacob bc he wasnt there last time and i (cry emoji) as well as chanting ‘best leader’ for st.van. god i love vampz so much. st.van also took a pride flag and wore it too it was nice

and now: the snapshot session. unfortunately i only could afford one and i got mine with jacob. so some background knowledge: in their first concert i also took a pic with jacob where we did the E.T. pose where the tip of our fingers touch and. it was DESTINY OK the flash reflected off the glass behind us and lit up the exact spot where our fingers met and.. i cried when i saw it LMAO. 

SO! i brought that snapshot with me this time to show him!!! and i was able to thanks to some sneaky moves using my sweater and he was like :O but i dont think he focused on the E.T part he was more like: omg u took a pic with me before?? (like he was surprised he has fans? bitch i LOVE you you have so many fans what a humble boy but also. he needs to know hes got fans!!!!) and i was like yes!!! i saw you before!! :^) very happy abt it! and then we took the pic.

and our pose was him wrapping his arm around me. it was so sweet he held up his arm so i could come snuggle up near him and i wanted to literally DIE. and our pic together is so cute ill add it at the end!!!! and this time i did not run away lmao (spoiler 1st time i took a pic with him i ran away and the staff had to tell me to come back so he could say bye) dhfsjgk 

AND i said bye to him without stuttering!!! he smiled so brightly at me ;; and then he said: ill see u again. cant wait to meet you again. and my heart fuckin BURST. he wants to see me again!!!!!! bitch i wanna see u again for the rest of my LIFE!!!!!!!!

anyways im in my jacob feels in particular today now but also all the members were beautiful and talented and wonderful and it was just such a great night. i love them so so so much i would do anything for them

ok so ignore how i look but this is our snapshot: its a polaroid and we look so cute and happy together i wanna cry. i miss him already. apologizes for the blurriness and random lights its hard to take a pic of a polaroid lol

my quick stay in Japan (ygo spotting post)

i had to hang-dry my clothes for the first time in a lonnngg time T0T but good thing the weather was mild, so everything dried relatively quick! i got a few days to myself where i visited anime shrine cities (akihabara 秋葉原 / ikebukuro 池袋) for BL stuff and YGO stuff :O LOOK AT THIS HAUL!!!

check out those metal diecast millennium items!!!!!

skdjkjsd as always my lighting is bad and my photography skills are lacking (why do i always manage to take blurry-ass pics?!?!!) (but they’re so cool they’re so cool i would wear them as a necklace or something!! AND i have extras! so PM me if you want some of my spares!) in order to get this home, i was that sweaty otaku with bulky bags hugged to my chest on the crowded train. also my doujinshi were wrapped in a black plastic bag, making it suuper obvious that yes, i had just bought porn. likeeeeeeeeee...regrets? do i have any? nope. shame? do i have any? also nope.

pretty happy with it all because: A) i finally FINALLY after all my yEArS in the YGO fandom, i’ve managed to purchase those nitotan plush keychains directly from the shonen jump shop (BIG SIGH OF RELIEF)

B) i also managed to grab the exclusive jump festa playmat (stock photo here cuz im seriously running out of room in my room to take photos of things, and it was quite big... ><\)

C) and managed to get card packs with awesome yami art on it >D bwhehe

The line in the jump shop was long because there was a Haikyuu! fan crowd, but i survived with minimal embarrassment lol

i also dug through a ton of k-books stores to find ygo rubber keychains + sleeves!

(it was 13JPY for 5 charms. ouch. thats 2 meals right there lel)

8JPY for a pack of used sleeves....hey, im just glad something was there!

ygo duel monsters the original series has died a bit because vrains is what’s popular now, and all of the “old stuff” has been delegated to

b e h i n d

g l a s s.

like, look at this...

i was so tempted to ask the store attendant if i could just buy the cardboard cutout of kaiba x) BUT A DARK MAGICIAN CARD IS 8,500?!? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?

i also saw the legendary million-yen Blue Eyes card in the case next to Yami

?!??!

there are too many zeros! and yami looks so cool there aaaaaaaaaa

next shelf down was -merch- and tbh idk why these are so hype? or maybe its just prone to theft?  its 12 bucks for a yugi keychain...idk why it has to be behind glass, there was plenty of room on the sales floor

next is MCDONALD’S SPECIALS

- is speechless - so i’ll just spam photos now.

these were papered on the walls from floor to ceiling so intensely, it was a bit overwhelming

wanted!! god cards! will pay thousands! uwu - seto kaiba

OK enough of those.

next i saw the MOST DECEPTIVE gachapon toy machines

there was YGO posters on the sides but the toys inside were just some random robot shit :/ i was mad disappointed yo.

lastly, this is my favorite cardboard cutout stand, but it was SOO HIGH UP ON THE SHELF it kept reflecting the lights from above, so this was the best photo i could manage

they look so coollll oueoiauiekuhus

and this was taken on my tippy toes, so pls excuse the blurriness. AND YEP. that’s all the ygo spotting i managed to do while in akihabara and ikebukuro! (i’ll make a separate post for the doujinshi!)

finally, here are some scenic pics from the rest of my trip!

the giant gundam unicorn in daiba

sumo lanterns in uedo park

the ferris wheel + “wa” themed lights at tokyo dome (xmas is here!)

more “wa” lights at tokyo dome. so freaking prettyyyy Ovo

one shot of the enormous buildings while i passed thru ginza >//<

:D yayy that was most of it! please let me know if you wanna see more pics from my trip >D i have plenty of blurry shots of scenery and other menial things, like road signs and cars lol!

hugs, Ugli
