I want you to look at me.

a lot of the old livejournals i got icons for atoli from are down now,,,

maybe pixiv or something idk

                                                                    You shouldn’t forget about things like gratitude, or consideration ,

                                                                    Just because we’re inside of a game.

so uh

i had to do a system restore and ah

lost all my chrome user accounts and

sort of forgot about atoli again whoops,,,

i

i had to do a factory reset, and while i backed up a lot of my most important files i did lose all of my icons, which has sort of set back my desire to start up my less active blogs again,,,

but!

OOC: You rarely log on, like about once a week at most, are you okay? Anyway, Sayoko sounds interesting to listen to, sometime and I hope we can RP soon.

i'm just not too active here is all

i'm much more active over on my personal, thewitchofsalvation, and my pokemon rp blogs than here tbh

is actually

a really depressing song about suicide

if you aren't triggered by that sort of content, here's a really good english cover by the same person who sings the Japanese version in my music player

with all my RP muses i usually have a few songs i listen to in order to really get into my muse when i'm doing replies and

welp, I finally got icons for Chigusa in the real world~ now that I have these icons (AND I GOT A LOT NOW), I'll now be up for RPing Atoli/Chigusa in the real world, so interactions are no longer limited to online interactions in The World!

If you're curious, the name of the girl on the bottom is Kagura Sae from Hadi Girl, and the top is Rino Endou from Jinsei

I did not make these! All credit to these icons go to precieuxrenarde, who was generous enough to let me use them!

also Atoli now has glasses offline

i'm ok with this

Send me "Don't chase the rabbit" and your muse will be shown a random memory from my muse's past.

"Mamaaaa! Mamaaaa!"

Mrs. Kusaka sighed, looking away from her paper to face her five-year old daughter, jumping up and down, a manga in her hand. "What is it, Chigusa?" she asked, her patience already thin.

The little girl smiled, pulling on her pants. "Maaamaaaa! Mamamamamamamama! I-I was watching TV, and there's something called Halloween in America! A-and, my school's having a costume party!"

She sighed. Yeah, Halloween was just starting to catch around in Japan. Not even a real holiday, just an excuse to give kids cavities. Does this culture-less thing really pass as a holiday in the west? she thought with distaste. "And...?"

"Mama, I want a costume! Can we buy a costume for the costume party!" She held a volume of Sailor Moon. "Usagi-chan! I wanna be Usagi-chan for Halloween!"

"Chigusa, please don't be ridiculous. We already have plenty of candy. It's a waste of time, Chigusa."

"... But mama..."

"It's better you learn this young than later on: you shouldn't waste money on really pointless things like this. Your birthday will be in a month, and we'll have a party and you'll get some new toys. Doesn't that sound a lot a lot more exciting than some costume party? I know you're very young, but it's better to learn these things young, like papa and I did: respecting money and respecting your parents. Papa and I work hard to have this house and support this family, and you need to learn to respect that, Chigusa."

"..."

"... Chigusa..."

"Yes, mama..."

"Good," she said, looking back at her paper. "... I'll cook your favorite meal for dinner tonight, OK? And I'll let you have two scoops of ice cream for desert instead of one," she said, giving her a smile and ruffling her hair, somehow believing that made thins alright. "Who needs sily costumes you'll never wear again when you have ice cream and a full tummy, hmmm?"

"... Ok, mama."
