Astro Observations: Solar Returns

Source: Predictive Astrology the eagle and the lark by Bernadette Brady

Aspect Edition: 2022

☀️Neptune- ascendant: changing your personality from how you’re seen from the outside perspective. This happens usually by an unfortunate event or when traveling to escape. Ending the image that you present to the world.

-how it manifested for me: my mom passed away this year and I feel I lost my identity and am just dissolving my upbeat positive personality that everyone saw me as happy go lucky. I feel my humor is darker and I just resonate more with despair and darkness even though in general I’m still a positive person. It’s like life is whooping my ass but I’m still smiling lol.

☀️Neptune- sun: confused about your role in life, wanting to escape and travel.

- how it manifested for me: I feel absolutely lost in life because of everything I’ve lost this year (my full time job as well) and I had identified myself as that role. I’m sometimes conflicted with my role in the astrology world as well. Anything in the esoteric because I feel I’m living a life in the 3D and then another life somewhere else (online actually). I don’t feel I fit in anywhere with people but I can mesh well with others. Also, I’m dying to travel and start a new life. I wanna travel internationally.

☀️Uranus- MC: expect a sudden change in your job/career and your social status. For better or worse.

- how it manifested for me: my company laid me and 109 employees off 🙃 I guess I’m not suppose to be there 😅

☀️Saturn- Uranus: frustrated because achieving your goals is a slow progress.

- how it manifested for me: I’m so impatient cause it feels like everything is so damn slow. I have goals I wanna reach but it feels like I have to work even harder. Normally with my fitness goals I’ve had great luck and maybe it’s because I’m not as strict as I was before. I still think for the most part I look good with my body but I was at my fittest in 2019. I was also frustrated cause I worked hard and I wanted a raise and then we all got laid off so now I gotta start over.

☀️Saturn- moon: feeling of loneliness and wanting to isolate. Feeling like no one supports you.

- how it manifested for me: I moved to another state all by myself. Despite it being a busy and social city, I felt alone and wanting to isolate myself. I felt like I met people but couldn’t make connections 🥲

☀️Saturn- ascendant: being seen as more responsible and mature. Being as an authority.

- How it manifested for me: despite my Leo rising mannerisms and how I get along very well the youngins, I feel my piscean old soul def came out more. Also much more responsible especially since I lived on my own.

☀️Uranus- moon: events occurring so fast that you don’t have time to process them or react. Being free of your emotions.

- How it manifested for me: so much happened this year that I don’t think I processed my moms death, losing my job, being dumped and also moving away. I know it happened but like I think I reacted for a bit and then moved on to distract. I’m in therapy which is nice but yeah. Also could be that my moon is in Taurus in the 12th house so I feel much more emotionally stable but also repressed cause I still don’t believe it or I do but I’m like idk…it happened?? Weird?? I’m dreaming right?

☀️Uranus- sun: wanting to be free and re-classify yourself

- how it manifested for me: literally moved away because I felt trapped at home. I was more open about my love for astrology in my new city than I am in my hometown.

☀️Neptune- North Node: finding your spiritual path and a group/your “tribe” that’s in the category of the healing arts and esoteric. Diving into the metaphysical which pushes forward the person into a new life direction

- how it manifested for me: met you all in the Astro tumblr community 🥹🥺❤️ also dug deeper into astrology! I’ve studied it since 2018 but I went 💯 on it this gear. I also have a 9th house stellium in Aquarius in my SR.

☀️Pluto-Venus: intense fated connection with an intimate relationship or an emotional ending of one.

Note: Pluto represents mother figures and family members and people connected with death & dying.

- how it manifested for me: I did meet a man and he has a Gemini rising and Taurus moon in the 12th in his natal. My SR is Gemini rising and Taurus moon in the 12th. He impacted me greatly and how I viewed men. He was great and I’m grateful for him 💛

2021: significant events

☀️Neptune- Venus: illusions in romantic relationships. Love life could be wonderful or will leave you to deal with the harsh truth after it’s ended. Could possibly be conned.

- how it manifested for me: met a guy who is an Aquarius rising (my ascendant sign was Aquarius that year also) and when we dated I felt happy when being with him. But he ghosted (then he came back again and ghosted again) and I had to face the harsh reality of that. I’m sadly still recovering but I’ve made a lot of healing progress! I just know better now.

☀️Uranus- ascendant: changes to a persons life such as name and physical body. A huge drive for change/freedom.

- how it manifested for me: I got cosmetic surgery 😅 but I love it 🥰

I love astrology 💛 enjoy!

I feel like the reason they canceled the poly route is cause it really kinda doesn't make sense. Like even with character development that's basically par for the course in a game like this, their personalities will mostly stay the same and that won't work with a poly route cause they'd fucking kill each other

Admittedly idk anything about poly relationships so i cant really speak on it. However I do think about how the plot kind of makes me think of the hero's/heroine's journey. That is, it can kind of reflect someone's personal journey of transformation/development.

So like, I kind of see how the LIs can stand for the "monster" within yourself too. Facing that monster instead of shunning it or denying it. And being transformed by that experience. Idk I'm kind of talking out of my ass, I'm not completely knowledgeable on the hero's/heroine's journey.

Anyway I mention this because that would make sense with the answer that RSS gave regarding the question of poly routes: they said that there's a certain level of "intimate" that it's not really made to fit for (paraphrasing here, but they did use the word "intimate" or some form of it). By considering the Touchstarved plot as something that could reflect one's personal journey in facing "the other/shunned" within yourself, that one-on-one focus makes sense. I hope I'm making sense lol.

But anyway. I'll use this opportunity to kind of explore the hero's/heroine's journey and Touchstarved since it was always on my mind anyway.

The illusion of the perfect world

The ignorant bliss that MC was in before they set off on their journey. Pre-betrayal and all. Happiness in their temple/with their partner in crime/with their teacher.

2. Betrayal/disillusionment

Traveling mage reveals the true nature of the Unnamed's curse. Partner betrays the Hound. The Alchemist realizing they're being used as a test subject.

3. The awakening & preparing for the journey

MC leaves home. Knows they can no longer stay. They look outside themselves for solutions: the Senobium at Eridia becomes their goal.

4. The descent: passing the gates of judgment

Doubts/fears/shame about their identity and new lifestyle. To move on they must give up their preconceived solution (Senobium, a cure) and doubts holding them back. "This stage can be moved around the journey."

I think it's clear they will have to accept their identity as a monster.

5. The eye of the storm

"A small taste of success brings a false sense of security. They relax and take a chance they shouldn't take."

"Similar to Boon of Success, they triumph for a short period of time. However, this victory serves as a false calm. This stage can be moved around throughout the journey."

Wonder if MC will experience False Security Part 2, Electric Bogaloo. Probably will. There'll probably be a time where everything seems to be going well with their LI. It all goes to shit though. RSS wants to emotionally wreck us after all (that's so based of them).

6. All is lost/death

"Things get worse. There is no hope. They failed and accept defeat."

Yeah I'm pretty sure this tragic ass story will get here.

7. Support

"The hero(ine) accepts the help of the supporter and comes to understand that 'being alone is never enough.' This stage can be moved around throughout the journey."

The LIs could help them or cause their demise.

8. Rebirth/moment of truth

They find their strength/resolve/courage/hope from support. "They fully understand their place in the world and how they will face her doubts." They "awaken" and sees the world and their role in it differently. Faces fear with compassion.

I think whether directly or indirectly, the LIs will teach MC about accepting the monster within themselves.

9. Return to a new world

They see the world for what it really is. They understand themselves better and this changes the way they live from then on. "This change is more spiritual and internally driven than external."

They understand their curse isn't to be cured. They know to live accepting themselves for who they are. They understand their place in this world. Their identity as a monster.

---

I only have passing wikipedia/online blog surface knowledge about hero/heroine's journey, so any clarifications or additional thoughts from anyone would be appreciated.

Edit: I realize after writing this I didn't exactly elaborate on how the LIs themselves can reflect the monster within MC (not just their curse). Idk my mind scattered rn but I guess it's bc MC's curse is purely physical whereas the LIs have set themes that one can relate to. Right now, MC is a blank slate meant to fit anybody. Someone who seems to lack a fully fleshed out theme. Choosing which route to take feels like choosing which monster (and their theme) calls out to you, tbh. The monster within yourself. Idk i project a lot on these characters but I'm not entirely alone. I see a lot of people get attached to the LIs because of recognizing themselves in them.

Edit2: i think it's bc the hero's journey gets compared to like "facing the shadow" and stuff like that. The shadow being "the other." Now Jung is a can of worms when it comes to western-centric beliefs and psychology stuff about this get heavily gendered, but the narrative structure of the journey being personal development and facing what one denies/struggles to face in oneself is pretty relevant methinks.

#sorry if i write confusingly im like always half asleep #redstrewn talks #i havent exactly proofread so sorry for possible further bc of that lol

Astro notes from my personal birth chart ♊️ 🌞 ♋️ 🌝 Gemini asc ♊️

🌻 Having personal planets spread out in 5 different signs can make for a bit of an identity crisis hahah I have sooo many different interests and people find me to be one confusing ass person , it’s taken me years to find this as a blessing in disguise as I can relate to these 5 signs and with a wide variety of people quite easily.

🌻My Mars in Pisces ♓️ in the 11th house does in fact make me stick up for the underdog , i am not attracted to feet at all , and when I am in a sexual relationship I prefer to be friends with my lover. The detachedness from the 11th house with the watery energy in my Mars is a fucking contridiction . I find myself needing emotional intimacy with a partner but then when I’m in the act I can be in another world , I usually get pulled back with kissing 😽

🌻my Venus in Aries ♈️ in the 12th house is another paradox. I’m definitely more toned down than other Venus in Aries placements. I love the chase , but then one day you may get a shy side of me . It’s this hot and cold kind of energy which probably confuses the shit out of people , but at the end of the day I go by how I feel . Once in a committed relationship I’m IN IT , I have zero desire for anyone else . I think of this placement and energy as in this lifetime I’m to learn SELF LOVE ❤️ Aries Venus are astrologically sometimes perceived as selfish and the 12th house Venus needs to learn to give themselves the love they’re constantly over giving to others .

🌻 My mercury in Taurus ♉️ in the 12th house is my chart ruler and the ruler of my sun . For a Gemini I find myself to be quite reserved and I give credit to this baby , I know when to keep my mouth shut . Upon meeting new people or starting a new job , I sit back , and I watch , and I feel things out. It takes me a little bit to read the energies of the people around me to really open up and be my goofy self. I like to read things slowly and methodically, it takes time but once it’s learned , it’s in there for good. I get compliments on my voice allll the time and man do I love expensive journals and pens hahah nothing but the best.

🌻 Gemini ♊️ sun , conjunct the ascendant from the 12th house . When I was younger , I was extremely shy and didn’t know why people would look at me or stare at me and it made me feel self conscious as fuck . Ta da ! I feel this placement makes me confusing because well ... Gemini are the twins 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️and it’s conjunct my Gemini ascendant. I feel like a Gemini , then I also feel like a Leo rising and have a lot of Leo rising traits , but my sun feels like a Pisces some days too and I have the traits of a 12th house sun , buttt on other days I feel like a first house sun and carry a lot of 1st house sun traits 🤷🏻‍♀️

🌻 My biological father is a Pisces sun (12th house) and my mother is a 1st house sun , I therefore carry both of their energies in this 1 placement .

🌻 my step dad is a Pisces Venus and my mother is a 1st house Venus , I’m a Aries Venus in the 12th house I carry both of their energies in this placement as well.

🌻Gemini sun with a cancer moon makes for one very emotional Gemini lol , it’s funny tho because when I was younger I didn’t know people thought that I was cold and detached , but deep down my ass felt everything . It took me awhile to learn to work with these two energies.

🌻Gemini rising with an Aquarius mid heaven , people think I’m cool and aloof if they don’t know me , but once they talk to me they’re always so surprised at how “bubbly” I am .

🌻 Cancer moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer . When I’m happy it expands out to everyone and everything ... but just how everything in this life is dualistic , if my moon square Mars ( Pisces / repressed anger) gets triggered ... watch the fuck out . When I was younger I wouldn’t even know I was mad until one day I would just explode and that’s how it felt , like an explosion of angry emotions that wouldn’t stop until everything was out . I’ve been working my ass off with working with my emotions. Just because you have certain placements or energies or aspects doesn’t mean you can’t learn to deal with them in a healthy manner.

🌻I’ve noticed that I have a lot of air moon friends , I find that I learn from them and question how they deal with their emotions , I find them fascinating that they can detach and analyze them or mind map them . I teach them how to feel the emotion and they teach me how to not get so damn lost in my emotions .

🌻 Moon in the 2nd house ; classic eats to emotionally feel better , another thing I’ve been working on . Instead of going for chocolate let’s dig around and see why we feel like this and not try to bandaid it .

🌻Jupiter conjunct Chiron , I’m half Caucasian and half aboriginal . I didn’t get to grow up with my aboriginal side of the family and on my Caucasian side I’m the only one who’s of a different ethnicity . I felt between worlds in a way growing up , I never knew where I fit in and never felt like I could fit in anywhere . It was this walking in the middle feeling .

🌻Pluto in Scorpio conjunct Black Moon Lilith in the 6th house . I remember being a kid and like some parents hating me .. for no reason . I also remember adults sexualizing me before I even knew what it was or was having sex . This aspect opposite my mercury in Taurus in the 12th house makes me extremely into psychology and esoteric studies . I find dating to be difficult at times because I can read douche bags like an open book . Hahah Lilith and Pluto in the 6th Opposite my mercury I find myself in a lot of sexual innuendos 🙄 . People sexualize me at everyday boring things , work , running errands , the *gym . When I was young and didn’t know how to deal with my emotional state this combo was deadly , depression, anxiety , suicidal thoughts . The Plutonian energies were so intense .

🌻 Uranus retrograde in the 8th house . Ummm yeah I know I’m weird , but have no fucking clue why lol 😂. This placement makes you painfully aware of being differen, on a plus it also makes you your own therapist. I went from drug party girl running away from her traumas to power engineer , owning her own house and doesn’t smoke , drink , or do drugs . Another psychology lovers placement and astrology lover 🥰. Also weird shit happens around me . Lights go on or off , things move . Alarm systems at work don’t go off when I enter the building. I also have Neptune retrograde on my 8/9th house cusp when have seen spirits and heard them . I would be lying if I said I didn’t love weird shit .

🌻Uranus in the 8th , I have been around death since I was about 8 years old having attended my first funeral service . I have had traumatic experiences with the passing of people close to me and I have known so many people who have passed away . I’m 30 and have had about 10 people I’ve known pass away . It’s something that I’ve always known . It’s a hard part about life but each time I go through a deep soul transformation where I question life and death and transcend something .

🌻Uranus in the 8th .. did someone say bdsm ?

🌻Neptune in the 8th , blurring of boundaries when i was younger. Like I legit didn’t even know what fucking boundaries were . Again something I’ve worked on and I’m happy to say , my boundaries are firm as fuckk .

🌻mercury (12th) trine Neptune and Uranus(8th) . Umm yes I do receive messages from spirit . It comes so naturally to me that I forget others don’t share this gift or have to work hard . I can go into a deep meditation easily and hypnotherapy . I also have vivid dreams and lucid dream . I am working on my dreams and astral projection.

🌻Saturn retrograde , yup bio daddy was not around and I am now reparenting myself as an adult 😁.

🌻Saturn in the 9th conjunct the Mc , I take this placement as the other reason why people think I’m cold before knowing me haha . I’ve wanted to travel for soo long , wanting to back pack and just go and be free but have not managed to yet , I always feel like I have something to do here or something comes up , I’ve just let go now and realize I’ll travel when the time is right and Saturn permits it hahah.

🌻 Saturn in the 9th , when I was younger religion made me feel uncomfortable af , I remember going to church and wondering why god was a man and why there wasn’t a girl god , and I also couldn’t understand why he was white ... it made no sense to me . Then where was my native god ? Why wouldn’t he just make everyone the same then ? Jupiter conjunct Chiron in the 3rd 😁 as I got older and traumatic death experiences happened , I then became a full blown atheist and pushed away the spirits I had seen from my mind and went on to party 🤘🏼👍🏼 ... until I had a transcendental spiritual awakening in 2017 . Which now I believe in consciousness and energy. Ahhh life

🌻 Aquarius north node conjunct asteroid Lilith conjunct the MC , people have scapegoated my ass since I had became a teenager haha. I had a very big issue with authority figures when I was younger whether it was with teachers , my parents , bosses, cops , you name it . I would rebel just to rebel . I’ve toned my shit down and have accepted that I’m quirky and different and a bit of a loner , I love it that way to be honest . I find that older men loveee me or hate me . Or both . Hahah I’m a very independent woman and do NOT like to rely on men for anything in my relationships. This placement makes me fucking determined to achieve my goals . It’s also the big fuck you placement to anyone that’s ever wronged me or told me I couldn’t do something . It gives me fuel and a will that I’m going to die trying before I ever fail . People laughed at me when I told them i was wanting to become a power engineer and well when I thought I was going to fail I just brought up their snickers comments and here I am today a power engineer 😈😉

🌻Lilith conjunct the MC , ahhh yes , I’m known for my looks and physique but jackpot to the rare ones that compliment my brains 🧠 🤓

🌻Lilith conjunct the MC, women feel threatened by just looking at me , which means I work really hard to bring a calming warm energy , I’m not fake but I do compliment women and pull them up and support them when I can . I have zero desire for drama or to take other women’s men .

🌻asteroid Lilith trine ascendant and sun , yeah I always wondered why people thought I was hitting on them when I wasn’t even interested lol but add a friendly bubbly Gemini ascendant with this aspect and you give off sexy vibes with out even noticing it . Fucking annoying to be honest hahah

🌻 IC in Leo , sun conjunct ascendant ... people say I wear my heart on my sleeve and what you see is what you get hahah

🌻IC in Leo , I shine when I’m with my family I feel the most comfortable around them and I love when they compliment me lol more than like anyone else .

🌻 If you were wondering why my chart seemed off I have 4 signs intercepted : Taurus / scorpio , Virgo / Pisces . My mercury , Mars , Pluto are all intercepted and my 12/6th houses are MASSIVE lol and my 11/5th are as well . Itty bitty 2/8th , 3/9th houses .

Let me know if you have any of these placements and can resonate 🥰

Cadence Dorian Carpool Karaoke

Paring: M!Raleigh x MC

Word count: 1,165

Warnings: None

A/N: I don’t own any of these characters, they belong to Pixelberry Studios. This is a part of @cxld-play and @bi-cookie’s @choicesfebruarychallenge. The prompt is Karaoke.

Permatag: @desiree---1986 @cordoniaqueensworld @itschoicesstuff @emilypowell001

“Thank you for helping me get to work,” James Corden smiled, turning to face the young singer.

, “My pleasure,” Cadence Dorian smiled.

“Do you mind if we listen to some music?” He asked.

“No, lets see what’s on.” James switched the radio on and love who I’ll be blared through the cars speakers.

“Lost in the darkness, you showed me the light,” Cadence sang as James got ready for Raleigh’s upcoming part.

“I was feeling heartsick, until you made it right,” James sang, not exactly on key but good enough.

“Nice,” cadence commented. “Baby, no ones perfect, but I know what I’m worth,” She continued, her voice sounding nearly identical to the recording.

“Ready?” She asked.

“I’ve finally found someone who understands,” they sung in a near perfect harmony with each other.

“No more doubt,” Cadence sung, pointing to James.

“No more pain.”

“No more feeling like I am to blame,” they sung together again, James smiling widely and Cadence joining him.

“My days will be brighter,” she started, pointing to the man beside her again.

“And I will fly higher.”

“And I’m gonna love who I’ll be.”

Cadence picked up her water bottle and held it like a microphone, singing her next line into it. “No more doubt.”

James shook his head laughing, “No more pain.”

She leaned in closer to him, holding the bottle in front of them both. “No more writing history in vain.”

“My days will be brighter,” Cadence continued, all the anxiousness she had been feeling about doing this interview fading away. She was now in her element after all.

“And I will fly higher”

“And I’m gonna love who I’ll be,” and with that, the song came to an end and the two high-fived. James switched the radio off for a minute, turning to her and they caught up in traffic.

“Talking off Raleigh Carrera-“

“I mean we weren’t but carry on,” she interrupted.

“What is going on with you two? The reason I ask Is because there’s a rumour you two aren’t together anymore?”

“How did that even start?” She asked, her brow furrowing.

“Well, you two got engaged-“

“Yeah-“ she nodded.

“You wore the ring a few times and then no one saw it again and you’re not wearing it now either. Are you two together or are you not? What is going on?”

“Absolutely nothing. We’re still together, we’re still getting married in August, everything is fine. The reason I’m not wearing my ring is simply because It needed resizing. It was a bit too big and kept falling off and I don’t want to lose it,” she explained.

“That's what I like about you: you’re honest. Now we’ve got that out the way…” James reached back over and turned and the tune to in love with a liar.

“Don’t know who you think you are, but I know what I’ve seen,” the both of them started. “You try to play all innocent but I know where you’ve been.”

Soon the song drew to an end and James turned to her, switching it off again. “Who broke your heart?”

“No one,” Cadence laughed.

“Come off it, you don’t write a song like that had someone not either broke your heart or pissed you right off.”

“We don’t need to talk about it. Let that just stay buried. Where it belongs,” she dismissed. “I was so nervous about coming on this show. I really was.”

“How can you say ‘no’ to some carpool karaoke and driving around LA with me?” he asked, gesturing down at himself, eliciting a laugh from the singer. “Its a serious question.”

“I couldn't,” she smiled, shaking her head and getting a nod from him.

James switched the radios back one and once again the duo started belting out lift me up.

“Salt on your skin and stars in your eyes. You’re close in the darkness and I’m all out of lies. Take my heart and made it your own . You’re everything that I’ve ever known. I tried to resist you, I tried to keep my distance, I tried to play it cool but I’m no match for your persistence. And if you lift me you me up! When the fog rolls i, you lift me! When the Cold sets in you, you give me! The strength to take on anything, oh anything. I see by the light you bring. You lift me up, you lift me up!i see by the light you bring, you lift me up, you lift me up.”

The song drew to a close and James turned to her. “That song is the reason you’re where you are today,” James noted.

“Yeah,” she nodded, “Had Avery not seen it I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

“That was mental, wasn’t it though?”

“It was insane and it still hadn’t quite sunken in yet that this is my life now nearly three years later.”

“You’ve taken some time off recently, haven't you?”

“I just needed to take a break, relax a bit and then come back hopefully with a new outlook and mentality.”

“I mean you haven’t stopped for three years. That is a long time without a break,” he mentioned. “That is commitment.” .

“I’ve loved every single second of it, I’ve made some amazing friends and done some incredible things, I went on tour too and it was phenomenal but it takes a lot out of you,” she explained.

“What have you been doing with your time off then?” He asked.

“Well, I’ve been planning my wedding. I kind of wish I had done it when I was a kid like most little girls and I wouldn’t be so stressed over it now. I travelled a little bit, spent time with some family, wrote a little bit, I’ve just spent most of it relaxing and enjoying myself,” she explained.

“To honour your fiance-“ he reached back over and soon Famous- Raleigh's song blared. She shook her head with a grin as the intro played.

“Moving in time on the dance floor. You got me sweating for it. You need someone to keep your fire lit, lets make our exit. Can’t keep my hands off of you now and I know you don't want me to stop. Can't keep your hands off of me now and I know i don't want you to stop. neighbours knockin’ But we know they can't blame us, yeah, baby i treat you just like you are famous!”

“Now,” James started when the song finished, “That is a sexy song right there. The question is: does he treat you like you’re famous?” James asked, turning to her with a very serious expression on his face.

She raised an eyebrow at him, “Yes,” She nodded, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth.

“Thank you so much for helping me get to work,” James smiled, giving her a high five as they pulled up at CBS studios where the Late Late Show is filmed.

This broadcast mentions the sixth volume of the novels, so I figured it’d be fitting to post it today, the date of its second anniversary. I can’t believe it’s already been three years since it got published. Also, happy birthday to Kousuke! I’m totally not getting war flashbacks from the time that all those spoilers leaked and nearly everyone forgot about him. Will the fandom ever be able to ATONE

← Previous || All Broadcasts || Next →

Shintarou: *panting* I... I’m exhausted.

Ene: T-That was terrible, huh, Master?

Shintarou: Hah... It was fierce.

Ene: I hadn’t thought it would turn into such a dreadful journey...

Shintarou: It’s because we lost sight of Chupa-cabra in the middle of it...

Ene: And because, for some reason, we were chased by people who seemed to be natives!

Shintarou: Our words didn’t get through to them at all, huh? It was seriously scary...!

Ene: We were also attacked by piranhas in the Amazon River, right?

(T/N: Chupa-Cabra isn’t from here, you guys...)

Shintarou: I... had no idea that I could swim so fast...

Ene: It was trying, huh?

Shintarou: We’ve finally... returned...! *sniffles* Everyone, we’re back...!

Ene/Shintarou: Mekakushi Radio...!

[Daze starts playing]

Ene: Say, Master, at the end of the day, Japan is the easiest place to live in, right?

Shintarou: Yeah... We can drink as much water as we want, and gas and light can be turned on immediately...

Ene: And there’s also no risk of being attacked by wildlife, huh?

(T/N: It’s literally the same as here then, lmfaooo)

Shintarou: That’s right... I couldn’t sleep comfortably in the jungle either. Oh, yeah! What distracted me from my insomnia during those times was none other than this sixth volume of Kagerou Daze!

[sounds of rustling paper]

Ene: Uwah! You... read it so much that the book is all worn-out!

Shintarou: I’m already... turning this into my Bible, after all.

Ene: Meaning this novel was your voyage partner, huh?

Shintarou: I thought of using it to make fire at some point, but... I couldn’t... bring myself to do something so outrageous.

(T/N: Jesus fucking Christ. Shintarou is a Haruka fanboy.)

Ene: Aaah... we had a hard time lighting the fire, didn’t we~?

Shintarou: It’s because we had no lighters or matches.

Ene: We’d always been living within a conventional world, huh?

Shintarou: From now onwards... let us live on while being grateful to have been born in Japan...!

Ene: That’s right~...

Shintarou: Hey... Didn’t my character just kind of change?!

Ene: Come to think of it, Master... haven’t you become robust after getting tanned from the Sun??

Shintarou: *gasp* Isn’t it true?! I wasn’t this sort of aggressive character, right?!

Ene: I can’t think of you as a hikiNEET at all! You’re too fresh!!

Shintarou: This is bad! My character is breaking, isn’t it?! Also, for starters, why did I even go traveling?!

Ene: It was because of that! You abandoned the radio, saying you were “going to search for Chupa-cabra”!

Shintarou: That’s right! That was weird to begin with! Why did I tail Chupa-cabra back then?? Could it be... that back then, my character was already starting to break?!

Ene: That is right!! Or else, Master going through the trouble of going outside would be impossible!!

Shintarou: Seriously? I even became this muscular...! What should I do?!

Ene: A-Anyway, won’t it work out somehow if you go back to your NEET lifestyle?

Shintarou: No, wait... I’ve finally been able to train my body... Shouldn’t I try looking for a part-time job or something??

Ene: “Part-time job”? Master, don’t tell me... you intend to work??

Shintarou: *gasp* T-THAT WAS CLOSE!! I was seriously about to look for a job just now! I was about to draw out of being a NEET!

Ene: This is bad! If it continues, Master, you’ll lose your identity!!

Shintarou: W... What should I do?!

[phone noise]

Ene: Oh. The phone’s battery is done charging. Well, then, gotta take it off the plug...

Shintarou: Speaking of which, you... the phone had no battery, so how come you were talking?!

Ene: Hah! N... Now that you mentioned...!

Shintarou: Moreover, how come you’re out of the screen?!

Ene: UOOOH, TRUE!! I’m no longer a virtual girl at all!! It’s surprisingly real flesh!

Shintarou: That’s right! You... in the jungle, didn’t you join and run around with me?! Isn’t your setting breaking too?!

Ene: Kuh...! If this goes on, I’ll be reduced to a mere formal speech character!

(T/N: SHOTS FUCKING FIRED. RIP IN PIECES, KOUSUKE.)

Shintarou: Kuaaah, no good! Mah way o’ talkin’ also turned into Kansai dialect lil’ by lil’!! If dis goes on, mah character’ll end up changin’ fer good!!

Ene: Anyhow, calm down, Master. Ah, I know! For now, how about we just hear a song and relax?

Shintarou: *gasp* Das right! If so, then play “Children Record”, ‘cause it’s included in Mekakucity M’s!

[Children Record starts playing]

Ene: Have you calmed down, Master??

Shintarou: Yeah. I’m a NEET. A NEET. I’m a NEET, I’m a NEET, I’m a NEET, I’m a NEET...

Ene: I think chanting to yourself that you’re a NEET is weird, but... the Kansai accent is gone, huh?

Shintarou: What about you?

Ene: I’m fine! At least, I think getting out of the screen won’t happen anymore...

Shintarou: NO, YOU’RE PROTUDING FROM IT!!

Ene: GAAH, IT’S TRUEEE!! Geh—Wah...! *agonized noises*

Shintarou: *through gritted teeth* Do your best...! Get into the screen somehow!

Ene: Hey! Please don’t forcefully push me d—Ouch! I-IT HURTS, MASTER!! *groans*

Shintarou: Dammit...! How do we go back to our old selves?!

Ene: Ah! Master! Isn’t it fine if we just re-watch the anime??

Shintarou: I see! So it’ll be okay if we marathon Mekakucity Actors?

Ene: That’s right! Please remember, Master, the you of back then, who had said that he couldn’t live without his computer! Look, there’s also the comics!

Shintarou: Okay! With this, we have no choice but pull all-nighters during this Golden Week to watch it!

[Days starts playing]

Ene: Master, I’m getting a good feeling from you... The feeling of you in your pitch-dark room, eating potato chips while dilly-dallying and watching anime... is of a real... NEET.

Shintarou: Aah. I’ve gradually begun to grasp back my former self.

Ene: It also seems I’ll be able to safely return to being 2D.

Shintarou: Music, anime, novels and manga... I didn’t know if I could consume them all, but it’s great that it’s currently time for Golden Week, huh?

Ene: No. Master, doesn’t Golden Week or the like have nothing to do with it for you?

Shintarou: Since every day is Sunday for me...

Ene: Ah. Master. Somehow, it’s ending time.

Shintarou: Eh? It’s already this late?

Ene: Next will be—EEH?? The MCs for the upcoming week won’t be us?!

Shintarou: Eh? So the plan was to make other members show up from the get-go?

Ene: Khh...! This translates as “have your characters properly fixed until your next cue”, right?! Master, let’s put in some effort!!

Shintarou: Aaah... 2D is the best~!

Ene: Anyways, these were Mekakushi-dan member number 6, the virtual girl Ene-chan, and...

Shintarou: ...member number 7, Shintarou.

Ene/Shintarou: Till next time~~~!

AWM 2017 recap

Things I saw at AWM today plus some bonus content I was informed of by other attendees of the event (roughly in chronological order):

Cinderella Girls

- I know next to nothing about this series except that Rin and Uzuki and that Love Laika duo are popular yuri ships lol.

- I already forgot their setlist OTL sorry I’d probably remember if I listened to some of their songs again. I think they performed 5? STAR, GOIN…uh…

- They pretty much spoke Japanese the entire time and were impressed that the audience seemed to be following along well despite that.

- They did a live skit or something? They showed clips from the anime(?) for each character and had them read a script live. Was pretty cute.

- Lit songs of the set list: YES PARTY TIME (is…is that the right title lol I just remember screaming those words a lot), and of course their closing song Onegai Cinderella.

- Okay to be exact all the songs were exciting but those two were particularly lit. iM@S songs have somewhat difficult calls (at least compared to Aqours) but those two songs are pretty easy to follow along with for wotaing even if you’re not at all familiar with the series.

- They performed one song I wasn’t familiar with because it wasn’t on the AWM Day 0 fan-compiled playlist nor the CG callbook _(:3 」∠)_ I believe this was one of their opening songs, so I started off the concert vaguely waving my KB and chanting “HAI HAI HAI HAI Uhhhh I don’t know the calls for this OOOH HAI OOOH HAI”, thanks for carrying the rest of us, Producers 👌

- Okay a friend has told me that song is Yumeiro Harmony? RIP.

Wake Up, Girls!

- 6 songs performed: Tachiagare!, Koi? de Ai? de Boukun Desu!, SHOUJO KOUKYOUKYOKU, Beyond the Bottom, 7 Girls War, Gokujou Smile. I…already forgot the exact order of the songs, but I *think* at least the first two are in the right places. Beyond the Bottom was close to the end iirc.

- I watched a grand total of 3 episodes of the anime plus the first movie so I’m not particularly familiar with the series, but I got attached to Minyami…to no one’s surprise lol, she happens to be the character whose image color is yellow and has a “nya” catchphrase 🙃 I screamed whenever she got a solo part she’s so cute aaah

- Mayushii is such a good singer holy fuck, kinda reminds me of a super-ikemen Emitsun (except ever since I saw a niconama of her crying hysterically over a horror game I can’t take her seriously :3c).

- They were saying things about having the audience smile or something as a lead-in into Gokujou Smile lol

- They tried to speak a bit of English, but it was mostly basic stuff. They were cute. :)

- I broke a UG (Ultra Green, the green version of a UO/Ultra Orange - which y'all might be familiar with from Snow halation) for Tachiagare and I lost my shit because Shukamod couldn’t find her UG, and she ended up breaking like 4-6 UBs (Ultra Blue, for songs like KoiAqua and MIRAI TICKET) unintentionally in her frantic search for one before I took pity on her and gave her my spare lol.

- SHOUJO KKK was motherfucking lit, everyone lost their shit at the hips great choreography and deep voices.

- Lowkey sad that they didn’t perform 16 sai no Agape because it’s the first WUG song I knew (thanks to King’s ANiUTa playlist) but I don’t have any complaints about their performance tbh. They are really, really good dancers and Mayushii’s singing is so damn ikemen I died.

- Everyone else in ONIBE was 🍝 for Yoppi lol.

- 15min intermission afterwards.

Walkure

- Only 2 members performed but it was still lit~

- These two are so talented??? The audience (me included) completely lost their shit at Ikenai Borderline.

- Shukamod probably had a good laugh at me screaming shit like “OH MY GOD JUNNA IS 16 HOW TF IS SHE THIS GOOD WHAT AN IKEBO HOLY SHIT”

- oh yeah, setlist…uhhh…also can’t recall the titles from the top of my head, but Ichi Do Dake no Koi Nara was one I remember. Really good song holy mother of god.

- Friends have reminded me that there was 5, and the first song was Koi Halation, other was Bokura no Senjou, and also supplied the title of the last song (I know the calls but not the title lol).

- In the MC, JUNNA and Minori talked about how they were really impressed by the American burgers. They wanted recommendations for more delicious burgers and several people in the audience had to start a chant to help them remember. They started to say McDonald’s and everyone screamed in horror until they eventually caught on that people were chanting “In N Out” lmao.

- They spoke so much Engrish bless these kids

- For the MC before the last song (Run ga Pikatta Hikattara), Minori was trying to teach the audience the call for it and was pleasantly surprised when the audience automatically did the call once she started singing a specific part of the song without her having to spell it out for us. What do you take us for, casuals? >:|

- All the solo parts were done by Minori…dunno if that’s normal but that’s what I noticed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aqours

- These are somewhat arbitrary numbers but it seemed like that the audience was made of like 25% CG fans, 10% WUG fans, 5% Walkure fans, and then the rest were there for Aqours. Possibly even more for Aqours, since I saw an insane number of people wearing the caps from the You birthday set lol. I even spotted someone cosplaying Ruby from the recent Time Travel set on SIF, holy shit how did they assemble that costume for AX so quickly… Anyways, of course the entire theater went wild when Aqours was finally up to perform.

- Like for their Christmas minilive and 1st Live, the members entered 1 by 1 through a splash screen introducing their character by default member order (i.e. Chika-Riko-Kanan-Dia-You-etc).

- To no one’s surprise, they started with Aozora Jumping Heart. @saitou-shuka and I were pretty much screaming our hearts out from the start. Shukamod broke a mega UO during Shukashuu’s intro lmao.

- They were wearing their MIRAI TICKET outfits and their set list basically turned out to be almost identical to their ANiUPa setlist.

- MC (member introductions using their standard character speeches e.g. Kanan going “I guess my appeal point is my muscles?”) after Aozora. They went down the line in the order Aikyan-Furirin-King-Rikyako-Anchan-Shukashuu-Suwawa-Arisha-Ainya.

- They didn’t do their call and responses (T_T) and I noticed that right away when Aikyan went into her introduction, so after she finished speaking I screamed “OHAYOSHIKO” and a few people copied me, I think? Me and Shukamod ended up shouting the call & responses before or after each introduction lol.

- Aikyan mentioned that this was her first time in America with Aqours, and when King did her introduction she sounded so smug going “This is my second time zura~~~”

- Rikyako mentioned that this was actually the first overseas performance for Aqours (which I already knew but it’s still cool to be reminded again) and everyone was hyped.

- Screamed a lot during Shuka’s intro RIP my voice.

- Suwawa started her self-intro and forgot what her lines were partway through so we had a good laugh when she went “Eh, nandake?” all of a sudden lol.

- People were cheering loudly for Arisha partway through her introduction, so she shushed everyone and then went “suki” and everyone lost their shit again.

- Ainya is so tiny omg what a shiny smol girl

- I made the resolution to be the American version of that one guy who always screams “AAAAaIiiNYAAAaaaAAa” at Aqours lives, and according to Shukamod I did a pretty good replication of it :3c

- Rikyako and Suwawa were in charge of the English language MC and their English has gotten really, really good holy crap. Only complaint I would have was the line “Let’s enjoy with us!” (should be something like “Let’s have fun together” or w/e), but their pronunciation and speed were godly. Both spoke a lot, but Rikyako in particular was really active in repeating stuff said in Japanese into English.

- Ainya was really clingy with Arisha lol I don’t remember which MC it was during but Ainya kept hugging Arisha and stuff lol

- Rikyako then said that the next song would be from their first single and everyone got hyped for KimiKoko.

- SHUKA LEAPFROG IN HER MIRAI TICKET OUTFIT WOOHOO SEEING IT LIVE WAS WILD

- KOIAQUA AFTERWARDS WHOOOOOOO SHUKA’S DANCING WAS SO GOOD!!! Also according to some people in other seats there were some audience members who were doing the “IE TAIGAAAA” calls for this song 🙃 Shukamod and I each broke a handful of UBS for this of course haha

- Another MC/small break afterwards! Furirin did that routine she always does at Aqours lives where she suddenly collapses and asks if she can have a water break lol is this gonna be a regular routine now?

- SHUKA ACCIDENTALLY TOOK ANCHAN’S BOTTLE AND FLAILED AND SAID SOMETHING LIKE “OH NO I DRANK SO MUCH OF CHIKA-CHAN’S WATER”

- MIRAI TICKET was announced as the Ep 13 insert song to be performed next! It was fun breaking out the UOs and UBS for this song too~ The “we say yousoro” part was of course enthusiastically screamed by all the You fans in particular o7

- Surprise song Yume Kataru yori Yume Utaou! They brought out pom poms too! Ainya and Arisha had a really cute hug in this song :D According to others apparently the 1st years were also super clingy and were doing lots of group hugs and stuff

Miscellaneous

- I spotted someone trying to record a part of the concert in the beginning and got really mad and pointed it out to the members of ONIBE I was sitting with. We screamed something like “HEY FUCKER YOU WITH THE CAMERA STOP FUCKING RECORDING” at him after the song, which caused a lot of stares but did achieve the effect of getting him to stop.

- When Aqours finished, Anchan became the MC for the closing speeches at the end.

- Minori had a paper at the closing MC with a speech written in English on it lol. She tweeted a picture of it after the performance, but basically it’s something along the lines of “Thanks everyone, In n Out burgers No. 1!!!” lmao

- JUNNA couldn’t come on stage at the closing MC with all the artists at the end because minors (JUNNA is 16) aren’t allowed to work after 10pm lmao, I had been so confused and concerned until that announcement was made and then I just cracked up.

- I saw Anchan making an adorable pouty face during one of the other groups’ closing speech aaaah so precious.

- Furirin and Shukashuu were doing small “ganbaruby” motions off to the side bless these two :’D

- King kept doing the Ohanamaru pose too lol

- Apparently for the VIP meet & greet after the concert, someone did a “hagu shiyo” with their friend in front of Suwawa, and in response Suwawa did it too with Shukashuu.

- Sosa (Korean Twitter artist famous for their NozoEli video comic of Garasu no Hanazono) was apparently at AWM today…AND RECEIVED A CALLBOOK FROM ONIBE. I MIGHT HAVE WALKED PAST ONE OF THE KOREAN ARTISTS WHO’VE I’VE TRANSLATED FOR. I MIGHT HAVE EVEN HANDED ONE TO THEM. WHAT THE HELL??

#love live! sunshine!!#love live sunshine #aqours #awm2017 #ax2017 #wake up girls!#cinderella girls #walkure #seiyuu #my ramblings #gonna jot this down while it's still fresh in my head #im already forgetting stuff fml #hopefully I can remember some more things later...?#apologies for formatting I'm on mobile #I fucking screamed about Sosa reeee #the other ONIBE members were like 'omg stfu yuja u sound like ur dying r u ok'#rushed onto twitter once I found out to tweet at Sosa lol #based on Sosa's reply I...might have sounded a bit too creepily desperate whoops;;;
