March 1st, 2025 - DJMAX RESPECT V, ProSeka, Arcaea, SDVX IV, PIU 2024 PHOENIX, jubeat festo

quick post before i head out to the arcade again: was minding my business and grinding out a new tetris sprint record for myself (finally got sub-50 today!!) when i suddenly realized... the DJMAX season pass was ending soon!!! panicked, i asked my good buddy ol friend pal Zolder about it and he actually offered to play some DJMAX with me to hopefully get through most of the pass!!! i happily obliged and got to playing random 6B/4B SCs, and it was honestly kind of a blast!!! got some good scores but was still utterly destroyed by him (which is why there's so few screenshots to show) but hey!! finally got an FC on Tic! Tac! Toe! [6BSC 9*]!!!

a quick proseka score (re-AP on Yoidore Shirazu [Master Lv.28]) before i made my way out to the bus and onto the arcade...

...and now, time for the true arcade day!!! finally arrived at the place where i would Gaming for the day, but it seems i arrived a bit too early as the entrance was still locked... so i played arcaea for a bit and got this challenge score rq (rip PM :v)

but suddenly, the door was open and i was able to hop in for some gaming!!! i know, i know, all i've played today so far were hand games (tetris included), but i wanted to warm up and wake up my rhythmic senses before i hopped into the more physical dance games, and so i went about that with some SDVX!!! just one set, sure, but there were some decent scores for a noteskin and frame rate that were impossible to read!!! (seriously, i don't know how anyone played this game at a top level back before VW... it's So Bad !!! ah well i got my volforce class up (to ???), so all's well that ends well :]

but NOW!!! it was time for the dancing gameys :] i was really pumped up for this game and set, but severely overestimating my ability after only physically warming up with a D16 (nice score tho), i kinda fumbled everything afterward and started feeling demotivated :[ so to lift my spirits and mayhaps warm myself up a bit more, my little completionist 100% brain fired up and decided on my next dance game target: TITLES!!! specifically the titles that required you to clear certain charts with an SSS or higher to get a skill title (e.g. Half, Gimmick, Run, Twist, etc.) . i wasn't confident at all that i could get some of the higher titles right now, but that didn't matter because i still had to get the lower titles (lv.1-4) first!!! and that's exactly what i did!!! i started with Half, which led me to get a sweet SSS on Mopemope D17 (hard as hell btw) followed by a sweeter SSS (and Superb Game!) on Butterfly D17 to get Half Lv.1 and Lv.2! then i moved on to gimmick (ig half was a bit too much for me...) to knock out some charts below the Gimmick Lv.4 title i already had, which led to getting PERFECT GAME SSS+ on both Yeo rae a S13 and Ugly Dee S17!!!

alright NOW i felt confident in my pumping skill, and in secret between these title sets i've been trying 21s until something clicked... and it did!!! all of a sudden, amidst all the scoring warmups and gimmick perfects, i got a sweet new AAA TG on Paradoxx - SHORT CUT - S21!!! and they just kept on rolling in after that Ugly Dee score, as i then got a sightread AA+ on Darkside Of The Mind D21, an upscore to AAA+ on Cygnus D21, and perhaps most shockingly... an AA on Extravaganza D21!!!

i wanted to get more, but i was satisfied enough after that last clear to head on and about my way for the day, so i did just that ! however, the bus wasn't coming for a few more minutes, so i dedicated my last set of the day to a quick jubeat sesh where i got a sightread S on Got more raves? [Advanced 7] (with an admittedly poor Owl noteskin) and then a re-clear on AIR RAID FROM THA UNDAGROUND [Advanced 9.7] before i went back home to celebrate my cousin's birthday!!!

[infinitycarrot1]

I'm going to play Wacca later today. Mayhaps might try getting my first all marvelous. I'll probably try getting it on Brand New World because it's way lower than my skill level, I was able to sight read fc it, and I like the chart

about me

hi there! i'm emo.

i'm a late-20s music enjoyer (for whom they is preferred). in fact, i make metal covers of music from video games under this name! here's a sample of my work:

so yeah! there's a thing. and hey, i also have a twitch channel under this name. mayhaps check that out too whenever you like?

alright that's enough o' that, let's get to the interesting stuff.

there! that's some info about stuff that i like.

i would also like to share something more personal: religion and spirituality. specifically, norse pagan heathenry. aye, i worship some o' them old gods. i was raised a christian, but ended up walking down this road instead.

it felt weird at first but i actually enjoy doing rituals and prayers now. it feels fulfilling. total vibe.

that being said i do acknowledge the validity of other religions (including the one i left) and those of no religion, and try to approach difficult topics from a pluralist perspective. to be clear: on this blog we support the declaration of deeds and declaration 127.

----------------------------------------

not sure what else to put here at the moment but i think this will do for now! feel free to ask questions and what not.

and remember, always and forever:

FREE PALESTINE!

February 16th, 2025 - Arcaea, EZ2ON

grahhh need to get this out of the way as fast as possible before i go to sleep, so rapid fire upscores go!! got a slight PM upscore on BREaK! BREaK! BREaK! (FTR-8+, MAX-17 -> MAX-12), plus an all-new PM on Straight into the lights (FTR-9, MAX-16) as FTR PM #234!!! (also got acid from world mode yippeeee)

but the reason why i wanted to get this out so early is that i finally cleaned out my keyboard and replaced yet another faulty switch on it, and now i'm able to play kb rhythm games again!!! to celebrate, i got two ACs on Messier 333 [4S SHD-17] -- one that was pretty bad and worse than my 1-good flag on it, but then one where i MASSIVELY cut the Cool count and almost got an S+++??? maybe someday i'll actually get it... but then instead of hopping off, i got several insane plays on several other charts... like my first FC/No Miss on picking [4S SHD-18], a sightread MAX-130 AC on Air [4S SHD-18], and a pretty good also-sightread attempt on PUPA [4S SHD-19]!!! ACs on picking and PUPA soon mayhaps??? we'll see...

[somecrazylads-a-blog]

-. ONE ANOTHER NOTE, i’m planning on adding at least one new muse sometime in the future, depends entirely on if i can get up a satisfying background for her, and then i’d like to make a few more, a few more serious ones, perhaps? deep and deep background ones, but in the meantime, please look out for my dragon hunter / tamer bby p.s. i’ll most likely be working on my current muses as well (i’d like to dive more into cesare’s and ryland’s abouts, seeing as cesare’s has a lot of potential, while ryland’s is basically a blank slate, but i digress) so YEAH why did i make... this post.., ==

Free Day 3

((Asked in FC chat for an idea because I was at a blank, and Nini came to my rescue once more.  It took me some digging because I HAD actually written a little something a long time ago (found here in 2019′s FFXIVWrite event) based on the event she mentioned, but not exploring all of it.  So, here’s an extended version of that scene.. ))

A crash sounded in the distance, from deep inside the Gnath fortress.  A deep booming voice rang out, incoherent this far away, but recognizable to Karo as the Primal they had been warned about–but already in battle it sounded like.

    “Who else could be… Thancred!”  Alphinaud’s voice rang out among the small group, suddenly both excited and concerned.  “It could be Thancred!  We must hurry!”  Karo pulled ahead to match Alphinaud’s pace, with Y’shtola and Krile not far behind.  

    There was no denying the nervous beating of her heart, or the claminess of her hands as she thought about finally finding Thancred.  Knowing that he was even alive–or at least had been dumped out of the Lifestream safely–had relieved a little of the terrible pressure in her chest that happened whenever she thought of the missing Scions and that horrible day in Ul’dah.  They had gotten word from Urianger fairly quickly after making their temporary home in Ishgard, but with one thing after another happening with the Dragonsong war–well, Karo felt guilty enough for all of them combined.  She knew Tataru had been doing her best trying to get any word from or about their comrades, but the pace and news had trickled in so slowly.  Y’shtola didn’t seem angry about her wait in the Lifestream, would Thancred hold a grudge?

    The line of thinking ended as they reached the top of a ridge, overlooking an arena, Ravana being dealt the killing blow by a man in black wielding an axe.  Four companions stood nearby, all in that matching black and gray, and turned as one as Karo and the others jumped down to greet them.  Ravana dissipated in a cloud of aether as the groups faced off several yalms apart, before Karo locked eyes with the apparent leader and they were together pulled into an Echo flashback.  

    There, she saw all five, seemingly younger–weight lifted from them–as they struck down an Ascien.  The axe-wielder in the front, his weapon becoming the familiar weapon made of Hyadealyn’s blessing to banish the Darkness.  Just who were these people?  Why had she not run across them before, for if all five carried Hyadaelyn’s blessing, they should be a force to be reckoned with, and would have been a great help to the Scions.  So why hadn’t she heard or seen these people before?

    Karo came out of the Echo-vision on one knee, Alphinad with a hand on her back steading her as she stared in confusion at all five of the warriors in front of her also coming out of their own visions.  What had they seen of her?  What memory had they pulled from her mind?  She shuddered, but knew there was nothing they could do about it, much as she couldn’t help it either.

    “So you are the Warrior of Light.  The savior of Eorzea.”  Sky blue eyes pierced her own, as his mocking tone carried across the span.

    “It’s a wonder you didn’t come soon,er what with the primal and all.  Lost a step, have we?”  So they had seen something to identify her.  Maybe the fight with Gaius or the Ultima Weapon.  Perhaps her very fight with Ravana here in this space.  It didn’t matter now.  Karo stood defiantly.  How did they beat her here?  Or did they spark the summoning themselves, just to show their might?

    “Have care.  The aether moves strangely around him.”  Y’shotola’s voice was pitched low, only for the Scions gathered, and her sightless eyes didn’t move from the group across from them.  Alphinaud stepped up to talk once more.

    “It would seem we share a common enemy.  Mayhap you would tell us who you are?”  Ever the diplomat, Karo bit back a chuckle at the words.  The boy had started to learn, and was growing finally into the role he had thought he was so suited for when he landed on these shores.  The leader shared a smirk with the Roegadyn in Paladin’s armor.

    “....Shall we show them?”  with those words, the group split as a well oiled machine, pushing an attack.  The archer started with a volley that Karo knew from her own similar attack was extremely hard to doge–Y’shotola darting to the front and center of their group and placing one of her solid shields over them all, protecting them from the barrage.  A moment later, she was shouldered to the side by the Roegadyn, shield collapsing as she was tumbled to the ground.

    A brilliant fireball exploded in the center of them, tossing them aside as ragdolls–the mage in their group having had time to cast his spell while they were otherwise occupied.  Scrambling to her feet, Karo drew her bow–staring down the leader headed straight for her, dragging his axe menacingly.  Shifting her feet, she braced for the clash before knives flew down from above, driving the warrior back and away from her.

    Her eyes followed the arc of the knives, to find a man balanced perfectly on the ropes overhead.  A single hazel eye over tied back silver hair bored down on the warrior, daring him to take another step towards Karo.  Her heart near lept into her throat.  He was in unfamiliar garments, and with one eye hidden behind a suave eye bandage, but there was no mistake who had come to her rescue once more.

    Thancred.

    He flipped down dramatically, pressing his attack as the rest of the battlefield calmed to watch the duel.  They were evenly matched, of similar height and build,  and Karo couldn’t keep her eyes off of them both.  They clashed together, axe and daggers locked together, before spinning away with a flourish.  Thancred was using all the tricks the rouges had gifted him on the streets of Limsa, backed with a strength  Karo had only seen hinted at in the past.  For his part, the Warrior spun his axe weightlessly as if it was just an extension of his body–not needing more than a moment to re-position and ready for the next exchange of blows.

    A forceful push, and Thancred was sent flying high in the air, not hitting the hive building behind him before spinning and using the momentum to push off and press his own attack.  They met mid-air, power to power before both were propelled back, watching each other with wary eyes and ready to start anew.

    The Lalafell healer had finally stepped to the fore, but not for any other abilities but to give the Warrior at her side a deep look.  With almost a reluctant sigh, he hefted his axe over his shoulder and addressed Thancred first.

    “Not very sporting of you to interrupt, but so be it.”  Blue eyes slide off his opponent to bore back into Karo’s.

    “Mark well our faces, Warrior of Light, for we are the Warriors of Darkness.  Walkers of a different path.  And we shall meet again.”  the Healer had started a teleport spell that had been linked to the entire group as the aether popped around them as they disappeared one by one to the slack-jawed expressions of the Scions.

    “Warriors of Darkeness?”  Krile found her voice first as they stared at the spot they had teleported away from.  

“Really?”  The tension was broken at her incredulous tone, as they finally were able to rush to their missing friend.

“Thancred!  Are you all right?”  Alphinaud had been the one to speak, but it was Karo who had sheathed her bow, and thrown herself at the rogue, tackling him into a tight embrace as she tried not to let the tears fall from the relief at seeing him hale and whole once more.  It didn’t last long, as the hissing of the Gnath rose around them, still out of sight.

“Pleasantries can wait.”  Thancred had returned the embrace tightly, gently stroking her hair in a gentle manner to pull away as he looked around.  “I’d rather not be here when the Gnath arrive.  Agreed?”  Nods all around, Karo finally letting go, they set a brisk pace to leave the fortress behind.

They didn’t stop for bells, keeping the ground-eating pace through the brush, before finally finding a decent place to camp for the night.  There was much banter between Y’shtola and Thancred, the true affection of long-time friends seeping through both their normally more stoic facades.  A small fire was built, and tents set as Thancred told the story of emerging from the Lifestream, bereft of any clothes or weapons, and the trials he went through to finally be able to find a form of civilization again.  

The Vath had been the ones to clothe him properly, and give much desired information on the Warrior–Karo–who had first laid low Ravana in a whirlwind before leaving once more.  His instincts to watch over, figuring it was only a matter of time before his friends returned to keep the Primal in check once more, were obviously good, though none of them could figure out the band with the Hyur at the fore.

As they caught their wayward rogue up with everything that had happened in the past moons since they had been separated, his cheerful demeanor at being reunited  dulled to a cold chill the moment he heard that Minfillia was still missing.  They had always been close as siblings, and Karo’s heart ached knowing there was naught she could do to soothe this new hurt–one that still made her flush with guilt as she was the only one to escape the tunnel unscathed.

As night fell, by ones and twos they headed to the tents, three of the group falling asleep quickly from the excitement of the day.  Karo had tried to lay down, but quickly realized that she wouldn’t be able to sleep quickly, so took her restlessness out to the fire and stars.

There, she found the source of her sleeplessness sitting staring into the fire, the stony visage unblinking since he had found out the full series of events after the banquet.  Lightly, she hopped onto the rock next to him, staying quiet as she settled to watch the fire as well.  He hadn’t mentioned what happened to his eye, but he hadn’t seemed too concerned with it, and it obviously hadn’t hindered him in battle.  She liked the new clothes, glad to see he had found something that suited him so well, and allowed for the wide range of movement he needed with his fighting style.

Cautiously she reached over, covering his hand with her’s, tail wrapping around his wrist as they stared into the flames together.  His hand twisted around to hold her’s with a squeeze, uncovered eye never leaving the flames, but a gentle acknowledgment of her silent support.  It was bells later she realized she had fallen asleep by the fire, but awoken in her tent, tucked in carefully and silently, before falling deep asleep once more.
