All the Writing I Did in 2015
I see this meme everywhere, but I have no idea from whence it originated? Let me know if you know! I fiddled with the format a tad...
For once I did enough writing to actually justify a foray. I slaved over these projects, so I really wanted to indulge myself by talking about them, despite that no one asked. Note my cutoff corresponds to the ( Read more... ) -
"Yon, Thither, and Hither" notes~
I exhausted myself writing this fannovella (after the Mimi wo Sumaseba behemoth) for the itty bitty Castle in the Sky fandom, but I learned a lot about a lot in the process, so I can't say I regret it! The reason the notes are so belated is because since I posted the story I've been madly writing a Mononoke Hime fic, the last one before I go an ( Read more... ) -
"Terrella" notes!
So, anytime before four years ago I could produce these awful, lugubrious stories without a second thought. I wonder now if this is because I didn’t care about the source canons enough, or if I was aesthetically drawn to ineluctable sadness (as the young are so often inclined); these days, the main reason-and almost only one-I ever jump into ( Read more... ) -
Yuletide 2015
Gentle writer,
First of all, my apologies for the belated letter! I have been under the duress of the semester's exam rush and writing up a helpful letter has unfortunately slipped my mind. I have requested FFVI, Kiki's Delivery Service and The Last Story before, and what I've asked for them in previous exchanges still applies now. Kindly check my " ( Read more... ) -
"To Treasure" notes
I finished a 57K+ Mimi wo Sumaseba fic here! Here are some overlong and incoherent notes to it, kept for your eyerolls and the refreshment of my future self. Warning: image heavy!
I can’t really remember when I first watched Mimi wo Sumaseba! I got a bootleg Ghibli DVD collection for a birthday present, but I always forget which. In any case, I ( Read more... ) -
Parallels 2015 Yields
The kayou, one of the mushi's many forms, would be written as 花陽: a made up word that is a silly pun on my part, but also pretty as a preexisting woman’s name.
The village is named after the mythological creature/constellation of Suzaku. The embroidery Mie does is of this bird on night-black silk. Blame all the flame and flight imagery on this ( Read more... ) -
Parallels 2015 Letter
Dearest you,
In advance, thank you for the gift. I promise I will love and gush over whatever you create. Please have all the fun you can. You can read my past few exchange letters in the "exchange" tag for more information about my likes and dislikes. I requested two films, so feel free to watch and fall back on them should the video game requests ( Read more... ) -
Meme!
I had planned to post this earlier, but was forestalled by exhaustion thanks to the new daily commute to and from university. Here's the meme as taken from

Kaze Tachinu!
We went for a bit of pasta before stepping into the cinema. I had some pesto penne and Dad ordered a large bowl of marina spaghetti. We both had some garlic bread, too. I drank some 1up, but couldn't finish it for the life of me.
The session room seemed about four times smaller than commercial/mainstream ones, but it was nice and cosy. No wonder the ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
My hair now reaches my thighs! When I don't braid or ponytail all those locks I do tend to accidentally sit on them quite a bit, so the length is eluding practicality as well as demanding unreasonable volumes of shampoo. I'm well-known now by family, friends, and amazed strangers for rocking the black cascade or braid but I really need to go to a ( Read more... )
