happy birthday!!! I hope you have fun 🥳

i AM having fun !! My friend @spaceoutdreamer is here visiting from france!! :D

[ariapmdeol]

I started following you for cell of empireo purposes so. haruki atou for the character thing? :>

hiii i love haruki atou!! Spoilers for all endings of Cell of Empireo, and I mention a character from interlude!

How I feel about this character:

Oh haruki atou my darling!!! I love this guy. I think everyone comes out of COE with an appreciation for Haruki Atou, and I am not immune! Haruki Atou worldwide! I cosplayed him! I think he’s really well written, and the route differences and the way his will shifts depending on the circumstances are so compelling to me. I think about this all the time but it’s in more than just “in the lower roots, Atou refuses to face the truth and the humanity of those around him, more and more.” It’s also how he chooses to handle things in each ending.

in A root, he places his priority on saving Shinano and in being there for him, but he doesn't confront his own past, and focuses on the current moment instead. That’s why in that ending, nothing is resolved (as seen by the pink hair), but Shinano and Atou are sticking together, with Shinano staying in the Nagoya office.

In B root, he doesn’t have the information to save Shinano (or he’s chosen not to believe in him). He abandons the reason why he went to EHRI/Path to Empireo in the first place. His will is to seek a normal life, and for things to go back to normal. He doesn’t care anymore about the past, or about saving Shinano. And that’s why he ends up with Noa-Nina, in the end. The desperate attempt to pretend that it’s okay, and that they’ve reclaimed that peaceful dream (and he knows it’s a dream, and that he’s running away. He just doesn’t want to confront it).

In C, it’s Nina. The loss of Karen and the others meant he was desperate to save the one person he still has a chance to. So he abandoned himself, in favor of saving her in any way that he can. I still need to replay C and D, so my thoughts are a lot less coherent there ^^; I'll write again once I finish replaying those two roots.

In E? He loses everything. Haruki atou runs and runs away until all he has left to run from is himself. He runs and he fails and he watches everyone die ^_^ he denies the humanity of the path to Empireo/EHRI members and denies any connection to them. Refusing the truth as everything falls apart around him. I love E root and I will talk about it again but it’s soooo <3!!! the circumstances changing his mindset and his will growing weaker and weaker until he just doesn't want to do it anymore!! kill everybody fuck it we ball alpha take the reins!!! AND CALAMITYRUI!!!!

Even in S vs S+! he accepts all aspects of himself, and in doing so, he has the opportunity to save Reiji. He accepts Origin, and he rewrites what Hatsutori had planned. I went on a tangent but I like atou and I like the variations of his will and his decisions in all the endings!! It's a really important facet for me! Haruki Atou worldwide I love that guy

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

HARUKI ATOU HAS TWO HANDS AND TOO MANY LOVE INTERESTS!! My favorite pairing is him and Shinano (atou please give ur doggy a kiss please please plea--) and i've talked about them a lot before! other characters I ship with atou include:

Kanou! Atoukanou sweep I think they’re so fun! I love the banter, the layers of lies and yet they both understand each other. The murder. The Note. 'Kouji Asou' being the only one to understand Kanou, and the only one that he trusts with his will. Kanou’s curse protecting him. The Note. I like those guys a lot <3

Rui! Domestic best friends who are forever comfortable with each other! They understand each other! They trust each other!!

Nina! I think this one is less popular but C root is compelling to me and B root grew on me bc it’s the funniest ending to show other people. The chorus of pain and agony every time I watch B root makes me laugh. I think they could be cute,,

Aiba! This is a background one for me so i don't feel super strongly about it, but I replayed lately and it’s cute?? Aiba lives in every root, so Atou doesn't need to worry about him, and they stay in contact in every root too,,

My Nonromantic OTP for this character:

ISOI FAMILY SWEEP!!! The dynamics between reiji-haruki-sanemitsu are so compelling to me!! It’s complicated and difficult and it’s so fun!!! Layers and layers of unspoken words! Haruki being pissed at snmt and snmt’s reluctance and difficulty to even MEET with haruki, meanwhile haruki and snmt both have one favorite and his name is reiji isoi 🫶 The S root conversation vs the S+ one makes me so crazy,,, I like those guys a lot.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

It’s so awkward answering this bc I’m not sure this fandom is big enough that any of my opinions are “unpopular” more than just “my read of haruki may not line up with these 2 other peoples reads” 😭 and I don’t know Korean or Chinese so I’ve got no idea on the average fandom opinions there… I guess it’s a bit of a cop out answer ^^;

I've certainly had moments where my reads on characters or situations end up drastically different than what i've seen from others, but I don't think I've had such a visceral reaction with Atou opinions? At least, not to the scale where I'd consider any of my opinions 'unpopular'.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character:

IZU AND HARUKI MEETING IN CELL OF MIRAGE. Fukao Please,, I'd do anything,,

Now that’s an intriguing topic. One may certainly posit that all existence simply boils down to the universe haunting itself; that to eke out a remembrance in such a fluctuating world is to haunt those you interact with. Academia does tend to be haunted by the various lofty predecessors and pioneers for better and worse. The rhyming of history as past continues haunting present. Religion would not particularly be exempt for the concept of Samsara and equivalent beliefs by their nature would involve varying degrees of this.

Think of it like paired forces - just as one’s persisting actions wears their routine to another party in turn their actions may be seen as influenced by the other’s constant. It may balance or it may be lopsided but there’s a mutual bond of haunting.

Thus I must surely haunt your dashboard with the array of posts I deign to share, in turn being haunted by welcome occurrences of similarly-talkative tags within my notifications.

Would it be possible to see the pet chicken... sounds like a lovely creature

Absolutely, behold:

Her name is Nugget- she thinks she is a person because she is imprinted on humans! Her older sibling was unfortunately...eaten, I suspect...by mom, so I stole her as she hatched the next day.

I didn't have an incubator for her since I expected the hen to take care of things, so I had to make do. Since she was a single chick, she would cry constantly if nobody was there, so we carried her around everywhere. At the time, I was on summer break for uni so I could spend all day with her. A week or so later, we picked up some more chicks at the store to keep her company, but at that point, she was already attached. She is a Serama so is very small!

First one is when she was getting her first feathers :)

She comes when called, flies and perches on people when she sees them (has jumped a mailman), gets in my car when I try to leave for work, and runs in the house when the door is opened. She will also sit at the door and scream until you let her in...and is VERY loud. The mentioned lockscreen photo is this:

Tag game! I was tagged by @mihai-florescu TY!!! I've only talked to you a few times but I love you and love reading your posts 💞🫂💞 I have literally never done one of these so...I wasn't sure if I made a new post or put in a reblog. I just made it a new post.

Last song: 0 (Zero) by LMYK (VnC ending). Specifically the Japanese version, but I have the English one on my phone too.

Favorite color: Blue-grey, maybe. Somehow I always feel like I'm answering wrong?

Last book: I'm currently (slowly) reading Vol. 5 of The Case Files of Jeweler Richard which I am VERY attached to. Non LN/Manga was an Emily Dickinson collection I think? I have so many things I want to read and not enough time.

Last movie: I rewatched Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron the other day while doing something else. Before that I have no clue at all... I'm so bad at movies.

Last TV show: I rewatched the Tsuioku Selection Element OVA and I'm probably 1 external stressor away from watching it again tbh.

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Sweet but I love spicy and food in general. I had a creme filled croissant yesterday and I've been thinking about it all day. I really want to make a torta caprese the next time I manage to bake something.

Last thing I searched online: I was trying to see if that pastry had a specific name, but I couldn't find anything. I did however find something that was apparently a fad a few years ago, which was a Suprême croissant. I REALLY did not need to know this existed. I want one very badly.

Current obsession: I'm in between things right now which is making me crazy. Ensemble stars is always there, but I don't engage with other fans much, which makes it just me pacing my enclosure. I am VERY stressed for Altered coming this April. I've been playing a few things for months/years (Umineko included! Which I love but my file got deleted trying to play another VN that bricked my device 😭 I was on Episode 4) that I really just want to finish already! But they are so long. I've been thinking about revisiting old things I loved in between trying to find a new flame...

Tagging @fizzytastic only because I am insane and would hover over everyone I tagged until they answered and would be irrationally devastated if they didn't LOL. But if any of my other mutuals see this, consider yourself tagged! Also know that I thought about tagging you. And that I think about you more than I probably should. I have referenced all mutuals irl multiple times even if we have never spoken. 💫

I was tagged by @bonni to post four characters I love and have my followers vote on who I remind them of the most.

I really wanted to include Yoshino from RWTGI, Asa from Chainsaw Man and I really considered Hyuna because she is my fave ALNST character but then I decided including Luka would be too funny

5 and/or 9? :3c

Answered 5 here! 9. Do you have a skincare routine (and how many steps is it)? I used to be way more strict about it. Previously I would use a mild cleanser, toner, and moisturizer in the mornings after my shower and then do the same at night after brushing my teeth but also follow up with a blemish soothing serum when needed (Occasionally would try a face mask too). Now I just make sure to wash my face at night with a cleanser. Same for in the mornings, but I'll still apply the toner and moisturizer (I mix the brands from time to time depending on what I can afford/what's in the house). Also trying to remember to put sun screen on my face and neck more 🤔 I'm not very knowledgable when to comes to beauty routines or really any sort of beautification, but hopefully I'll get some time to learn and treat myself soon 😤🙏

fizzytastic replied to your post “I'm no longer going to support your group because...”

I’m honestly sorry for these people. you guys are doing a BUNCH of work FOR FREE out of the kindness of your hearts. you don’t deserve to be treated like this. I hope you guys feel supported enough to keep translating… I love your work 🙏 thank you very much

Sometimes people don’t get how difficult it is to manage a scanlation group and how difficult all the process is, unless they go through it themselves. And I think sometimes people forget that we take a portion of our times to do something that we should enjoyed doing but instead we feel like we’re being forced to do it, because of certain people. 

After a few years working on this, I know that should not force myself or the other staff to do this things. If we can’t do it, we can just take a rest. And only continue when we have time to do it. This is the reason why we don’t have fixed upload schedule anymore.

Even though there are a few people criticizing me, I know there are far more people supporting this group. I hope you guys not forget to give your support to the original author/artist too.

Thank you for your kind words ♥
