✨ When you get this you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to, then tag 10 of your favorite followers ✨

I cannot RESIST sharing my music and it's taken tremendous effort to just pick 5 but here they are, all very different vibes that I adore endlessly.

1. GOOEY FLUID GIRLS - COBRAH

Everything by COBRAH is so banger but this was my first one and it never stops going hard for me. I would also recommend DEBUT and TEA that I also get excited about when they come up on shuffle

2. I'm The President - KNOWER

This is so dirty it's nasty, not in subject matter but in sound. It's so oooh it just hits that spot. I can't get enough of it

3. BREEZIN' - Masayoshi Takanaka

I once hijacked my family's Alexa and played this 18 times in a row during Christmas. Wonderful song, I recommend Masayoshi Takanaka just in general, I really like his attitude about making the guitar sing. Beleza Pula and WE'RE ALL ALONE are also really good!

4. sever the blight - hemlocke springs

This one is currently stuck in my head and I've been listening to it on repeat. It's so good, everything hemlocke springs makes is good. Stranger Danger, Girlfriend, also recommend. Every song has so much character to it

5. Hell Is Round The Corner - Tricky

You just gotta listen to this one. It's so smooooooth. Also dirty nasty sounding in a different sense. This is another song I listened to on repeat, most these songs are really.

I'm boring in that idk who to tag but if anyone is looking for an opportunity to share your jams, here it is! Yes YOU. Do it do it! If you guys have thoughts/feelings listening to these songs please lemme know!

Information from Sailor Moon Network

[shinsengumi-archives]

I discovered recently that the 2 photos that were posted by people claiming that it's Yamanami Keisuke were not real photos of him. (Someone pointed out the family crest on the haori of the two men in the photos and they weren't Yamanami's). I've been looking for a portrait or photo of him but couldn't find any. The only description I found was Yagi Tamesaburo's: "he was not so tall, had fair-skinned lovable face"

Do you have any information about that? Anything about his appearance or personality would be greatly appreciated🙏

Is this the photo that people claimed was him?

This is actually a photo of Yamada Hachiro who was part of the First Japanese Embassy to Europe, but people often mistake it for Yamanami Keisuke and it was even used on his Wikipedia page at one point.

From the blurry photo, we can still see that the family crest (kamon) on his sleeve is different from Yamanami's family crest:

There are many fake photos of Yamanami Keisuke, but unfortunately, no confirmed photos of him exist.

According to shinsengumi-no-makoto:

Yamanami was “slightly tall” and had a pale complexion. His face was supposed to be somewhat round. He is described as a gentle, amiable man and was very intelligent. He enjoyed reading Chinese poetry. Yamanami was loved by the people of the Mibu neighborhood. Yet despite all of this he could be very severe when he needed to be. Aside from Kondo, it is said that he got along well with Okita, Todo, and Ito. His exact relationship with Hijikata is the subject of debate.

I'm not sure what was the original source for this description and it contradicts Yagi's statement that "he was not so tall". Yagi's quote is probably more accurate since it's first-hand.

The full quote from Japanese Wiki Corpus is: "he was not so tall, had fair-skinned lovable face, liked kids and talked to them wherever he met them (丈はあまり高くなく、色白の愛嬌のある顔。子どもが好きで、どこで逢ってもきっと何か声をかけた)" (from Rojin Mibu Banashi (八木為三郎老人壬生話) by Yagi Tamesaburo).

That page also describes his personality and reputation:

Sannan was a kind-hearted person and was adored by women and children in Mibu area. There was a saying "kind persons are Sannan and Matsubara Chuji" which was popular in the Mibu until the early Meiji period. According to Shinsengumi Ibun (exceptional matters), he had a good reputation among troops and in the Mibu area, unlike Serizawa Kamo. Kojima Shikanosuke, a sponsor of Shinsengumi, described Sannan as a "warrior but literate". Even Nishimura Kanefumi, who was known for his severe criticism of Shinsengumi, called him "a person who understands method of matters in some degree" in Mibu Roshi Shimatsuki.

We can see his personality first-hand through a letter and a Chinese poem that was written by him right before going to Kyoto:

The bounds of my aspirations lie beyond the edge of the heavens,  My endless loyalty is contained within one sword. Whatever steep and perilous roads lie in the ten thousand ri ahead, I make haste for the Imperial Capital to serve with honor and merit.

From this poem, it seems he was a person with a lot of ideals and high aspirations. While there are many theories about why he died, I think he died from depression caused by disillusionment towards the Shinsengumi.

From the letter and the poem, we can see that he was interested in the Chinese language.

Also, his name was likely pronounced Sannan (on'yomi pronounciation) instead of Yamanami (kun'yomi pronounciation).

Future Funk

It is a subgenre of Vaporwave conjugated with J-Funk, French House and Nu Disco. The main ones in charge of making this genre known are Macross 82-99, Yung Bae, Desired, Vantage, Aests, Mikazuki BIGWAVE, Engelwood and LemKuuja.

Vaporwave was born as a genre of Smooth Jazz with elements of electronic music, Lofi and ambient music, from this genre, comes the use of the word "aesthetic".

But due to how strange Vaporwave can be heard, being a bit shocking, cumbersome or difficult to understand, the idea of ​​reinventing the genre was born, trying with faster, happier and more moving beats, thus making it more Funky, adding elements of the J-Funk among which is Miki Matsubara (Stay With me), Makoto Matsushita (Love was really gone), Kingo Hamada (Crystal Dophin), Mariya Takeuchi (Plastic Love).

To complement this, another genre is introduced: French House, which is a genre of electronic music derived from House that emerged in France in the late 80s and early 90s. It achieved some popularity in Europe thanks to artists like Cassius, Justice, Daft Punk, Modjo or Motorbass. The question is why were these genres taken to make Future Funk? The reason is simple: These genres come from the musical Disco, which is a union of Funk and Soul.

Among some of the main pioneers in giving birth to this genre, we can find Macross 82-99 with their album A Millions Miles Away, Yung Bae with Bae and Desired with Lovestory. Over time more people have joined the genre, among which we can find Vantage, Aests, Engelwood and Mikazuki BIGWAVE. Normally this genre has been known through memes, since if you listen to a song you can identify it by being in a meme or Tik Tok. Next I will leave a Spotify playlist compiling the best future funk songs that were relevant at the time (it is recommended to listen randomly):

In my humble opinion: Future Funk has a lot of potential with tremendous songs, I recommend listening to Macross 82-99 and Yung Bae if you are interested in listening to the genre, it is little known due to lack of popularity and attention, since it is not given so much importance and it happens like the typical music of memes or tik toks otaku. Despite this, it is a very danceable genre, with good sampling, it can be catchy and sometimes too loud, so there are different ways to listen to Future Funk, there are more upbeat songs, others too bright, and some very soft giving a feeling of melancholy, but always maintaining the essence of Future Funk with Funky and House elements at the same time.

Do you have any voice claims for your ocs?

I know you mentioned Haruka has a deep voice like singer Miki Matsubara but I want to know the others like Momo. And what they would sound like in english.

Ooh, okay. This was a difficult but interesting one. I usually don't think of voice claims, I just hear a certain character, person or song and just go "Yeah, they'd sound like that" lol. So, for this I had to do a little thinking.

So, Momo first. I always just imagined her to sound like cute, supporting anime girl #435 lol. But as for an actual voice claim, I ended up on Jubyphonic, a singer on YouTube who's most popular for doing English covers of vocaloid songs (yes, I listen to English vocaloid covers, sometimes instead of the originals, sue me /lh). This particular video has her both talking and singing as a good example lol (it's a Christmas one too, so good timing lol).

For Misao, I honestly had no idea. I couldn't find anything that really matched how she sounded in my head. But, for an idea ig, she just sounds like she's higher than the clouds off something heavy 24/7 (and what's even funnier is that she's not, she's just like that lol). Just the really lazy voice and long vowels, "Duuuuude, chill~" That kinda thing, if that makes sense lol.

And, this is the last one I did, but Haru's temporary boyfriend Sato sounds like Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa abridged lmao.

an independent roleplay blog for QUEEN BERYL from BISHOUJO SENSHI SAILOR MOON. low activity / mun is 21+ .

🌏 i prefer the manga so that is the one i will be pulling from the most ! 🌏

side blog to @lunarnoire .

guidelines

i. this is a independent roleplay blog for queen beryl from bishoujo senshi sailor moon. 

ii. this blog is low activity because of my personal life (work/life). this blog is also mutuals only and is a sideblog currently to @lunarnoire. all follow backs will come from there!

iii. no god-modding and/or meta-gaming! beryl is a villain so obviously she does villain things… basically gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss ™. this is my second time roleplaying a villain (i write black lady too) so i don’t want to step on anyone’s toes especially given beryl’s nature. any questions or concerns, please message me!

iv. i tend to match my partners in terms of length but sometimes my replies may be on the longer side in which case it takes me longer to get to.

v. nsfw content like smut will not be present here! 

vi. in regards to ships, the same thing from vii. applies here. if you’d like to plot something out between characters that isn’t pre-determined in bssm (at least the dark kingdom arc where queen beryl appears) such as family bonds or platonic, please message me so we can plot things out beforehand and then work our way through threads and development! 

vii. regarding mains/exclusives… i do not practise exclusivity. i’m still iffy on mains, so for right now mains are reserved for friends only. i tend to get to my threads depending on the order i draft them in so oldest first then newest which is another reason why i’m unsure on the status of mains here.

viii. regarding ocs and multimuses, you are welcome here! i typically do not follow if i cannot easily find your about page, rules, and muses page via mobile as i tend to be on mobile more than desktop. this applies for regular muses too.

ix. in closing, you are always welcome to message me if you have plot ideas or if you wish to thread, etc! if i miss any threads, replies, asks…, please let me know! if you have questions, please let me know! you can call me felicity or lissy for short if we are friends. i’m over 21 and sailor moon has been with me all my life. 🥺❤ i’ve read the manga, watched both crystal and the 90s animes as well as all the recorded musicals, and i’m even a member of the official fan club!

x. this blog is not affiliated with toei animation, naoko takeuchi / p.n.p.. my headcanons and writing are my own. sources are from various official sources provided  by toei and/or p.n.p. or they are from missdream or @.mintymoondrops or spriters-resource. my graphics (so icon border, page break image and stuff like that) / psd are made my me.  my icon border was made / put together by both myself & @.maidenkissed. my blog background was made by @.maidenkissed cuz i was really going through it when i was making one. other credits are for @.cafekitsune for another page banners.

VOICECLAIM: keiko han, misa watanabe.

according to an dic adventure doll released by bandai during the 90s, beryl's likes are anarchy, bedlam and chaos. she dislikes sailor moon and the other senshi. her hobbies are snooping, spying, and sabotage and her special strengths are the ability to control her henchmen. her favorite food is liver ; her favorite color is black ; her favorite animal is a scorpion; and her favorite topic of conversation is world domination. it also lists her birthday as november 1st and her age as "twenty-something". i view beryl around the same age as whatever queen serenity is supposed to be - at least physically - so i will be using this old doll info from the dic dub at my disposal. lol

** - i view queen beryl as a human as she is from the earth kingdom during the time of silver millennium and was reborn as a normal human in the present age before , both times , being ultimately corrupted by queen metalia. beryl was a sage before metalia, an invader from the sun, noticed the conflictions and darkness in her heart and ultimately used that to her own ends. beryl is corrupted by the evil that is metalia and to symbolize this, her hair is no longer black but is instead brilliant red, her teeth sharpen into fangs, her nails into claws, her ears become pointed (naoko says her ears are like black holes in the materials collection), and horns grow out of her shoulders.

it's been a while since i watched the musicals but i remember beryl going through some real character growth and going through redemption in the musicals based on the stars arc. she is allies with galaxia and has a change of heart after witnessing / realizing her beloved, endymion, is dead. she helps sailor moon and the other senshi in the fight against galaxia and chaos and i believe that, in the end, beryl would've chosen redemption over the darkness if it meant endymion was safe. also cuz i don't think it's fair that the four heavenly kings are offered redemption or freed from their brainwashing depending on which canon you watch, but beryl is rarely, if ever, offered the same courtesy. i haven't decided if this will just be relegated to my musical verse(s) or not. i'll come to a decision once i finish rewatching the musicals. lol

the series never really goes into much depth about who beryl was before metalia, but i like to think that given what scraps we are given, beryl was a benevolent sage of endymion's court who adhered to the laws that both peoples of the moon and earth followed - which were ultimately broken by princess serenity and prince endymion with their forbidden love. Beryl was a sage of the Earth Kingdom. She served under Prince Endymion's parents - the king and queen - and served them faithfully. She ultimately fell for the prince but despite her fervant wishing, she knew that they could never truly be together because of the differences in social statuses. It was also Beryl's duty to serve the crown without conflictions in her and so she lived by the laws of the universe that were followed by all peoples of the earth and moon - said laws that were ultimately broken by Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and her very own Prince Endymion of the Earth. beryl knew of their secret meetings and was jealous, however she never acted on this jealousy but instead suffered in agony wondering why her dear endymion did not have eyes for someone like her. this caused her to eventually come to dislike the princess of the moon which, in turn, caused metalia to offer beryl the means of which to take her love for her own. beryl, distraught and full of warped hatred, gives into metalia and becomes beryl , queen of darkness. with her newfound powers, she brainwashes the four heavenly kings to fall completely and utterly under her control. in a sense, i view her as the opposite of usagi - like a foil to her. i think pre-metalia , beryl was probably similar to usagi in a lot of aspects, but ultimately her love would become her downfall whereas usagi's would be her strength.

in the manga and crystal, beryl is wary of metalia and the power that she offers. beryl would rather betray metalia and be queen of the earth with endymion at her side then serve metalia.

my sister and i joked about this once when we were watching either crystal or pgsm together, but like??? what if beryl could also use her tiara as a boomerang like usagi too??? and so this attack would be called dark metalia boomerang!

i know crystal has usagi/sailor moon defeat beryl but i hated that so much cuz they took away a beautiful moment for minako to shine as a leader so in my crystal verse, i'm headcanon...-ing that minako/sailor venus was the one to defeat beryl.

im currently re-reading and re-watching the series (manga, both animes, live action, and musicals) so i might add more stuff here during my re-watch if i find it relevant. i also plan to sit down and play another story some time, too, but i'm not sure how long beryl is in that game. i tend to do this every year or so because sailor moon is my favourite series too! so there is that. lol

my interpretation of beryl is largely INFLUENCED by the MANGA and the musicals. i grew up watching the 90s anime. the first season as well as the promise of the rose movie are my favorites. i love, love, love, love the manga though, but i am not adverse to engaging with the 90s anime as like i said i grew up with it. i also love the musicals, too, and crystal. the dream arc is my favorite arc of sailor moon and i really love the sailor v manga too and my delulu dream is that someday toei will do another attempt at a sailor v anime and possibly even there will be a sailor v musical!! and game!!

*these are the heights of her myu actresses in order that they played her so yuri -> akiko and then the third one is for makoto and the last is for aya as i could not find heights for her other actresses.

my favorite musicals for beryl are eien densetsu and its revision (this is one of my favorite musicals in general outside of nogimyu and the dracul series as well as the nelke myus with satomi and hotaru as usagi.) and nogimyu. i don't remember much of beryl in the others outside of gaiden dark kingdom , the very first sera myu. i think the other bandai myus she appears in after eien densetsu are basically just eien densetsu with changes. outside of the manga/crystal, the primary source i will be pulling from for beryl is the eien densetsu musicals , nogimyu, and la reconquista.

Silver Millennium was a time of peace in the solar system. Each planet enjoyed the peace that the silver crystal brought up and all was well. There was that ancient rule that the kingdoms of the moon and the earth were forbidden from interacting and so the kingdom of the moon watched over the inhabitants of the earth ever diligently. Beryl was a kindly, beautiful sage. She was employed in the court of Prince Endymion and his parents - the king and queen. As Beryl was of different social statuses than the prince, she could only watch him from afar - only interacting with him during her royal duties as sage but those interactions with the prince were far and few between. She could say she knew the king and queen much better but alas. She only truly wanted to know Endymion. 

She fell for the handsome and regal young prince. Her every thought was consumed by his presence to the point where she had befriended his loyal retainers in an effort to become closer to the prince and to learn his deepest secrets. She only had eyes for him, but alas. He never had eyes for her - only viewing her as a friend or perhaps a sister. His eyes were for the princess of the moon, Princess Serenity, and her alone. 

Beryl discovered his feelings for the radiant princess one day. She was always watching him from afar when not doing her duties and had learned his secret - a secret only her retainers and her mother, and his retainers knew. No one else.

Beryl was consumed with feelings she had never before. It was a raging, bottomless jealousy that roared like a blizzard inside of her. She felt nothing but disdain and contempt for the princess of the white moon. She thought that without her, perhaps she and Endymion could be together. 

These dark feelings caught the attention of Queen Metalia - a figureless evil entity from the sun. She wormed her way into Beryl's heart , plotting even further seeds of malicious feelings inside of her. she told beryl that endymion could be her's and her's alone with the tremendous power that she could give her.

power. yes, that's what she needed. she needed power to obtain what she wanted most. her love.

she took metalia's offer and she is offered wonderous dark powers to obtain her love and to help obtain metalia's goal.

beryl uses her newfound powers to turn endymion's trusted retainers, the four heavenly kings, under her command. with metalia's powers she also brings the entire earth under her control and endymion's parents lose their very lives in the process.

traveling to the moon with an army behind her, the denizens of the earth fight against the denizens of the moon. beryl eventually loses her life to sailor venus and her holy sword, lamenting that she was not able to have endymion to herself.

when queen serenity uses the power of the silver crystal at the cost of her life to seal away metalia and wish for her daughter to have a normal life, beryl and the other denizens of earth are sent there as well until they are eventually reincarnated in the future.

beryl is reincarnated like so many others from the time of the silver millennium and pursues a career in archeology. she travels the world for her profession and uncovering ancient relics and ruins makes her nostalgic for a time long passed that she no longer remembers. during these travels, she encounters the reincarnated four heavenly kings and through a cruel twist of fate becomes friends with them. they all find kinship over the mutual feelings that they have over a life they've long forgotten - wondering if it is just their imagination or if there is something more.

unaware of her awakening, aino minako awakens as sailor v with the help of her companion, artemis, and soon beryl feels something stir deep within her. a kind of hatred she has never known. before she would look on at the moon with a sense of passivity - never understanding why so many people worshipped the moon. now she would look on it with disdain and disgust - cursing the very thing so many loved. and deep within her breast would burn a love so damaging, it choked her. where was this man she believed to be her soulmate? where was he?

beryl returns to japan after work had brought her to the ancient ruins of greece. she had to get away from those structures... those structures that made images dance behind her eyes of another life. she was sure this time that that time was real, but how could she prove it?

as she asks this question, a disembodied voice calls her. it tells her to travel to the north pole, to d point where all of her questions would be answered. and so beryl drops everything to make her way to a place rarely traveled to - if ever.

the voice continues to call for her and soon she finds what she is looking for - a giant cave leading to the deepest, most darkest place anyone could imagine and as she travels further and further into the cave, she discovers the remains of her beloved's kingdom and soon finds an ancient door. the voice is louder this time, desperate, and beryl opens the door and is greeted by the entity known as metalia. she restores beryl's memories and powers - this time beryl is transformed completely. her once jet black hair turns rose red; her ears become more pointed and the insides look like black holes; her teeth sharpen into fangs; her fingernails point out into claws; stones grow forth from her shoulders and she feels herself grow taller, grow stronger, and when her eyes open, she is

BERYL, QUEEN OF DARKNESS.

metalia instructs her to find the four heavenly kings and bring them under her command once more - and she does. she finds them in their respective regions that they once had governed in ages past and so the dark kingdom is revived.

from then on, beryl and the four heavenly kings seek to gather energy to give to queen metalia as they search for the legendary silver crystal to gain control over the world.

beryl would eventually lose her life to sailor venus once more and her memories before she was corrupted come back and her love once more chokes her and beryl dies thinking only of endymion again.

3:A song that reminds you of summertime

I have an entire playlist that I've sort of accidentally made into my summer playlist that I love to listen to especially when it's hot out, windows open, fans on, just lying in the heat like a lazy cat. Lots of massive attack, zero 7, portishead, air, rjd2, tricky, DJ shadow, röyksopp, lots more. ALONG WITH. A city pop playlist for some variety with Masayoshi Takanaka (<333), Miki Matsubara, Makoto Matsushita, etc. but the song I think I'm going to share is this one:

Remember Summer Days by 杏里 (Anri)

(a little on the nose I know but imagine listening to this in a moment of peace outside in the heat just lying around, nothing immediate to do, just hanging out)

I lied I'm also gonna share this one from that first playlist:

Hell Is Round The Corner by Tricky

(bc I can't resist an opportunity to make more people listen to this) it's so goooodd listening to this in a hot car passenger princess style watching everything pass by. I love my summer musics soooooo much

Speaking of cars...

7:A song to drive to

I have another playlist that's very related to cars for a personal project of mine that I like to drive to sometimes, especially when I'm really amped up/pissed/excited. A lot of this is COBRAH, BABYMETAL, Chase Icon, ROSALÍA, Poppy, Gesaffelstein, femtanyl, many more. The songs I'm gonna share I think are:

ACT RIGHT by femtanyl

BIG ENERGY I've found femtanyl more recently and I love every single song they got

I feel like it's obligatory to also add

High Speed Chase by Chase Icon

Annndd one more bc I can't resist and I listened to this on repeat like crazy this year it's so fucking good

Sneaky Devil by The Garden

(I feel like it's also important to note that I drive like a grandpa I'm very much a Defensive Driver I'm very passionate about safe driving and I almost never get any road rage it is so so rare for me lmfao)
