It‘s pretty scary. I hope it‘ll get less soon even though I don‘t put high hopes into this.

Ohh. Got it! No, that makes sense.

Honestly I wish I didn’t hate being outside but am a terrible communicator. Today I spent like 10 hours outside (thats supposed to be my CHILL day :grimacing: ) and when I reached home I just went “wow. I am depressed.” I completely fail to convey anything that could make my life easier, apparently. Go figure

@Luna oh my that’s cute and what good news on her birthday. :slight_smile: Good to know the thing about onions - that’s new. Gonna be extra careful about dropping onions …

Atm it seems to be silent outside but that’s only the calm before the next storm, I guess :sweat_smile: and the weather forecast said storm zeynep will be even more violent…

To all people who are affected by this storm I can just say take care & stay safe.

Are you sure ?

VK has always been notorious for that shit, lol. See crazy names like ∀ile≠de〔Σu〕, Disfereainsvelleile or Velze Dieulawahl

And I love it. Makes it easy to spot if a band is VK, kinda how “hipster” microgenres are announcing themselves by having too many crosses or triangles.

@Ezra aw thanks so much. :sparkling_heart: no, it does help. Yeah, exactly this.

@Luna thanks really! :sparkling_heart:

When it’s all over sometimes I go "wow calm down drama queen :grimacing: " but when I am going through it, feels unbearable and then there’s the fact that I hate myself for being weak (maybe weaker than most, maybe less privileged ?) and I cry in anger but, oh well… sigh

on another subject, VK has always been notorious for that shit but I do feel like it’s gotten… somewhat worse (or better? matter of perspective)

Him and GRRM share a spot in my brain for “people I respect but whom I won’t engage with any further”. YOSHIKI has done a lot for visual kei, but I’m not interested in his antics anymore. This album should have been out half a decade ago. We still don’t even have a title! Anyone still waiting on this is going to be very disappointed with the result. I’m not going to listen to it on principle when it finally releases.

Similarly, I had to unsub from all Game of Thrones subreddits the other day because I saw news that Martin finished wrapping up the prequel (HOUSE OF DRAGONS) and then also signed a deal with Marvel to bring Wild Cards anthology into comics. GRRM can run around doing everything but finishing The Winds of Winter…and I’ve been waiting since 2011. I started the books when I was 17 and now I’m 30. I’ve been waiting patiently for the next book since 23. Where is it? The show started, finished, and shitted on his legacy with his permission and as punishment I have to wait more? I’m sorry, but GRRM is going to die before he ever finishes his story. We might get whatever he wrote for The Winds of Winter after he passes (because he’s never publishing the goddamn book, and that’s if they don’t go through and delete everything like he wants), but A Dream of Spring will forever remain unwritten.

I would have way more respect for the man if he said “I lost interest in Game of Thrones universe. HBO ending is the canon ending. I’m gonna do new stuff now”. But instead he’s stringing us along with promises of things that are just not happening. Always “I’m writing” and “Soon™” but after 11 years of no progress I’m calling your bluff and I’m checking out. I got better things to reserve my emotions for than an unmotivated and distracted writer.

I think for anyone that doesn’t know X Japan, they wouldn’t think Yoshiki is a musician, he’s an influencer, his facebook page is full of adverts for his credit card and wine.

I want to reconnect with my two long time Internet friends but I’ve become so emotionally eroded and distant it seems like our friendship is nigh irreparable. I get so conflicted when i go to approach them, our conversations don’t really amount to anything substantial and i always end up saying less than what i feel. But then again I’ve also changed emotionally so i feel like it’s me falling out of touch with reality. It’s so weird to feel the weight of everything and simultaneously nothingness at the same time, its very frustrating. I feel like a sheet of construction paper in a tub that’s been full of water for 8 months.

Is this an print ad for a CD? I think that sentence is included so people wouldn’t get it confused for an enhanced CD which can contain wallpapers, music videos, data tracks, “START.exe” programs, etc.

Nah it’s not an ad, just a soft case for an EP by Laputa. This phrase is on some of their later album packaging/CDs too. It’s strange, I’ve never seen this phrase on a CD. You might be right though, these did come out around when enhanced CDs were popular. My guess was that it was just a weirdly-phrased anti-piracy message.

REN from Shulla did the best live backing vocals of any vk bassist/guitarist

@ me

Trying to be strong but I feel nervous because today is the day I see my mom and younger sister for the first time in 8 years. I know it is my family but I don’t know why I feel like this… is it just because I haven’t seen them for so long? :sweat_smile:

At this point I’ll outlive Yoshiki by the time this album will be released

After reading the news this morning, I am stunned and shocked that Russia has started war against Ukraine… Asking myself why we can’t live without war. Countless and innocent people will lose their life because of this, it’s just sad and really terrible.
