[Music] An Introduction to Touhou Music, and Some of My Favorite Songs

Some of you might know Touhou as “that shooting game with all the girls and fanart everywhere”, and wonder where music fits into the picture (if you already know feel free to scroll down to where I talk about some of my favorite songs). The game has great OST for the stage and boss fights, and doujin circles take the melody and make remixes of the songs. Sometimes the remixes are with new instruments, though many of them also have vocals added to the song. The remixes sometimes stay close to the original, but sometimes they deviate a lot.

[Story] Yin-Yang Couple, the Angel and the Devil

Another writing prompt from 2DT, this time “drink another between night & blue”! I decided to go for a different style this time. It’s a fantasy story, written in first person, which I’m not used to writing in >_< so apologies if it sounds weird! The pictures in this post are quick sketches I tried to make before the time limit of posting is up. Yes I know they suck.

Please enjoy, and tell me what you think about the story! Read the rest of this entry

Smile Precure 09: USOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ahh April Fool’s. I even wrote my own post for that. Yayoi got the brilliant idea to tell Miyuki that she’s transferring soon, but Miyuki ran off before she could say it was a joke. Honestly, I don’t know who I blame more for this mess. The whole group catches wind of the lie, and everyone tries to comfort Yayoi – who was too quiet and shy to be able to tell them to stop talking and explain that it was a lie.

[April Fool's] I’m Reverting Back to Living as a Guy…

EDIT: This was an April Fools joke, and since apparently many people didn’t read to the end I’m putting it up top. Also, I’m taking any questions for an FAQ on my life being transgendered, since when people talk to me about it the same questions always pop up so I thought might as well collect any I might have missed.

As many of you know, I am – well was – transgendered. It’s a topic that I talk about a lot, and mentioned a few times on this blog. However, this is going to end.

There’s an uncertainty that comes along with being transgendered, and sometimes you just don’t know if it’s really who you are and that you won’t change your mind in the future. I started to have some doubts, and I can’t take it anymore. What if I decide later that I didn’t really want to be a girl?

I don’t know anymore! Read the rest of this entry

Smile Precure 08: Beware of Rings

The Freaky Friday Flip episode! A pair of rings swap Miyuki and Candy’s minds into each other’s bodies, and hilarity ensues. One can only question the logic of trying to have Candy pass as Miyuki at school instead of just returning home. Candy makes an absolute fool of Miyuki in every class, utterly destroying her reputation, failing her tests and giving her a bunch of extra homework to do. It was funny at first, then it just made me cringe (I have a fear of embarrassing situations). Read the rest of this entry

Smile Precure 07: My Wish Fulfillment

This post will lean a little towards my personal side of things. After all, a part of consuming entertainment is wish fulfillment and exploring a side of yourself, is it not? Even if it’s about thoughts left over from your childhood in a magical girl show. Read the rest of this entry

[Story] The Curse of the Reaper

This is a short story based on 2DT’s 300-500 word writing prompt, “explore in silent rhythm the curse”. I wrote it with characters from the story that I’m working on (if you follow me on twitter you probably heard me talk about it before), though since this is a quick write-up with a time and word limit I doubt it’ll make its way into the story without major changes. Maybe I’ll treat it as another backstory entity, like the backstory of Aoi and Megumi that I recently finished. I still can’t draw worth a crap, so the image is of Komachi from the Touhou Project. 
 
 
Anyways, please enjoy and tell me what you think!
