sitting in my bedroom for the last time typing this. its a really weird feeling because this is the place where i got into hololive, persona and got back into yakuza so i have some special connection to this place, but i wont lie and say that i didn't miss my last two apartments when i was living here. im going to be straight up, this has been the worst place i have ever lived. the management sucks, the room is depressing and i can't wait to get out of here in a few hours so i can escape this place. im pretty excited about the new place, im gonna spend time to make it my own personal place which i can't wait to do :). i think my mental is going to be a bit better too, being in a new place and all. would feel nice to not have to worry about anything too crazy going forward when i can just sit on my new couch and turn my brain off after getting home from work. it's a bit further out than i want it to be but the rent is cheaper by a few hundred bucks so i'll take it. the room seems to be around the same space as my current one so im SUPER excited. im gonna get a new desk and futon so im pretty stoked.
its so weird to leave a place behind, it stings almost. i can't wait for the future where i'd have my own personal bubble but for right now, my own personal room seems to be the perfect move because, blegh, personal bathrooms! i can't wait, it seems reasonably sized compared to my current one because it's really wide and that leaks into the actual space of the room, which i always hated. im very nervous, to be honest but i think once everything is set up tonight, it'll be worth every second. im both excited and terrified as a result, i threw away some stuff too i figured i wouldn't need which was a lot of old kpop stuff. lol. i cant wait for what the new place brings, and what i can start collecting and all that. i feel like buying movies again, which is nice. im gonna feel more need to use my TV since ill have a couch, something to turn on and play when im bored. i am beyond excited about the couch, it's unreal. im going to try and start collecting ps4 games too since a lot of the ones i want are cheap and a refurbished ps4 pro is around 200 dollars, which, with how things are going nowadays, seems worth it. lol. also going from 500 gigs to 1tb would seem worth it. im also happy to get my own desk, ive been having to use a partial drawer as one since i moved in and i hate it, its too short and having to slouch to use my laptop sucks. this (hopefully) means more posts as it wont be a nightmare to type and have somewhere to sit and write. im also getting a new chair. the one im using right now is absolutely awful. i got it from goodwill for about 10 bucks and it was doing pretty good at first, but after a year and a half from use, its about time to wrap it up on this thing. the new one im looking at looks better and would probably suit me better than the one i currently have does.
i hope this new place serves me well, or at least as well as i want it to. im kinda scared but i was scared when i moved into this place and i was scared when i moved into the place before that one so this feeling i'll get over now. i guess the worst part of it all is the moving part, which is gonna be time-consuming but when everything gets put in place it should be okay. can't wait to put up posters and set the room up. i don't have much more to say other than im worried about today and hope its over soon. once today is over, it'll be smooth sailing from there. the only thing left to do is to... do it. that's the part im worried about the most. i have so many stupid worries about this place but it'll be okay once its over. i seriously can't wait for the new futon, chair, and desk. it'll be worth it.
hope everyone has a good day, i'll try to.

june 1st, 2026
been trying to sit down and write a blog post for the past month and unfortunately nothing is coming to mind the way i want it to... which changes now! not much has happened since the last post, at least nothing significant, so it's been hard sitting down to write anything at all because of how little has happened.
i havent touched my switch much recently which is unfortunate but the joycon drift on my switch has gotten so so bad that it's almost unusable on some games (3D all-stars collection, cough), which sucks because it's a great console and i love playing it a bunch. i recently got Persona 5 Tactica for it and it plays great tho so i have something to play after i play Persona 5... oh yeah! i played my first ever persona game! it was Persona 4 Golden, which is an expanded re-release of the original game and its amazing, one of my favorite games. the murder mystery aspect is so much fun and the twist near the end left me shocked, which is one of the best things a game can ever possibly do. after going from yakuza (another great rpg[?] series from SEGA) to this a few years later is very interesting but cool nonetheless, both are awesome. i plan on playing the mainline games... at least 3, 4 and 5 at least... not sure about the first two, as well as the fun side games such as the rhythm games (4's is amazing) and the fighting games too. im a bit biased towards 4 because its aesthetic is my favorite out of all of them and it has my favorite characters so far. im sure this will change with upcoming playthroughs of the other games but everything about this series so far is absolutely amazing. ive been going thru the megaten wiki for hours now because of how sick and fun it is to look thru, there's so many interesting things about this series, i can't wait to read the mangas eventually, im sure those will be fun. ive seen a bit of the persona 4 anime and that looks really cool.
what else is new... hm.... ive been thinking a lot about 2022 again, for some reason. im not really sure why either but i feel nostalgic for it though wehn looking back it was just me being 17... i want to say its because i felt more "alive" but that really isn't the case, i hated every single day in that year, i guess i just miss being a kpop fan, which is really funny to think about. other than that i really don't have a clue why im thinking so heavily about that time, i was more active creatively then than i am now? that's the only thing i can think of. but i can change something like that with ease so i'm still not sure what the big issue is. im doing everything back then now but i guess it feels "simpler" back then though it really doesn't (or should). it's kinda dumb to think about but i guess that's life. i guess the only difference is that i live by myself (which sucks).
i need to clear some storage! not really but my screenshots folder on my laptop is a bit messy and i want to tidy it up a bit because it annoys me a bit that it's not clean (speaking of which, fix up the blogger profile, again). but it should be easy because i love doing file management again, i should also fix up the sakuvalor website too as its something i care a lot about too, though im not sure how to, i'll figure it out.
ive been using apple music's discovery station recently and it's really cool! ive been finding a lot of music i love as a result. a few artists ive found thru apple music are Sayako, Lil Shine and Edward Skeletrix. all are dope and im glad i found them thru apple music. a ton of good music is out there and its so much fun to go thru and listen to them all. i don't talk about it much but music is really one of the greatest mediums of art that there is, if not the best. i love music a lot and talking about it. everything regarding music is super sick and awesome to have any association with (ftr, persona 4's music is probably top 5 video game soundtracks ever).
i seriously need to catch up on manga... i havent sat down and read anything in a bit. im currently reading witchriv and Tsumiki Ogami's Not-So Oridinary Life and theyre both so peak. some of the best manga ive read in a hot minute, so i have to catch up eventually. its still morning so i might around then. i seriously need to get back on this stuff.
that about wraps it up, sorry for the shorter type of post but outside of what i mentioned there's not really much to talk about but i still wanted to post and also write about persona. by the way, the new le sserafim album is great! that's all i have to say. see you next time everyone!

stream writing #1
my brain feels full for some reason, like my head is full of air and there's no intelligent thoughts anywhere. id like to think but each thought i have gets cut off and replace by a void or space that feels hard to fill. why? why is this the case? eh who's to say. the only thing i can do is sit here and accept it. it's rough but alas, so are most things. i wish i could bring myself to do the things in my life i truy wanna do instead of sitting in my bed all day and doing nothing of value, it's been a constant problem for the past couple of months but reccently it's felt very... wrong? i cant properly explain but i think there's a level of guilt and regret in my stomach bubbling for no real reason. i feel very alone and isolated with my thoughts so it feels like i dont have many people i can properly talk about this stuff with without feeling like im a complete burden on them and its a problem. i don't like the idea of a virtual therapist so i don't really wanna deal with that because 1) i feel id get distracted more 2) i wouldn't take it as serious. i've done my fair share of therapy and unfortunately i think doing it irl would be the best course of action because of everything surrounding me and my life. i dont wanna go into details but i feel like im in a really bad spot, the worse ive felt mentally in months, the most physical pain ive felt and ive done nothing to help improve it because i can't find it within myself to care enough to find anything that could possibly help. i want to get better but everything i'm dealing with isn't helping on top of other factors that depress me more than words can say. it all kinda sucks a lot. i don't really care that nobody reads this blog or anything like that because i like writing it and it helps me motivate to do better, so i can have stuff to talk about but i don't really know what to do that's not repetitive or boring, like i read another manga? cool man i did that for 3 posts in a row. i like hololive? i got another handpuppet! cool man, can't wait to read and type that next post. it feels kinda boring and lame that i'm doing all of this, but i don't really know what else to post, i don't really know anything else. every day i have a goal in my mind of what i'm going to do and i never end up doing it and it kinda sucks, this has been happening for the past couple of years and i wish i set myself up for a goal that sounds believable but i don't know how long things are going to be mentally because it all sucks a bunch. i have no motivation to do anything i like unless i force myself to do it and that's one of the worst feelings ever. i like doing stuff and i wanna do it, but i just cant on my own for some reason. i heard somewhere that this is a sign of depression but idk if thats it. it feels too farfetched for it to be something like that, at least conclusively. this type of stuff sucks, a lot. im trying to find ways of dealing with it but mentally i feel so stuck because the progress isn't immediate how i want it to be. i feel so childish and lame as a result. i feel it's my biggest disadvantage, mentally being childish. i don't think im inheritely a rude person but i feel being honest and "saying how it is" does lead to a lot of problems because i don't have a way of talking "normally" or filtered, and i find it really hard to do stuff like this. i always wanted to feel "normal" growing up because of how i am being a problem in my life but i could never adapt and it still kinda bugs me to this day. i wish people would also have some courtesy to understand but that's me getting way too ahead of myself. its hard to explain without getting into specifics but its late and i really don't wanna do that. i feel i could go on this stuff endlessly but i feel i'd repeat myself a bunch. i guess the biggest draw from all of this is that i want it to be 2022 again even though i'm viewing that through huge rose tinted glasses but i mostly just miss being inspired by art that i'm still CURRENTLY inspired by, i just don't stop to think about it. i guess i have to start working on my art again, something i haven't in a while. i miss being inspired by art and to make dumb silly edits myself. very fun thing to do. i don't know what else to really write right now but i felt i've been needing to get that off my chest for a while.
im gonna re-do my blogger profile, it's old and outdated, blegh. see you all on the next post.

the future is now... the future is present... no.... the future is... the future! very clearly bored right now, been a somewhat eventful day (not really but it sounds enticing when i say that), i finally finished frieren and its great! i love the story a lot and the dynamic between all the characters is super cool. stark and fern's chemistry is super cute to observe as they play off eachother so well in the chapters. frieren herself is an amazing character and i love how her emotions get softer as the series goes on, what a super fun read. i hope the creators get healthy soon, no rish though, but its a fun manga to read. i heard the anime is amazing so i really wanna check it out, i can see myself being super into it like i was the kaguya-sama anime (good lord, i can make a whole post about that if i wanted to [which i kinda do]). the only thing i have to say though is that the exam arc was really boring that i pratically skipped over it and the current arc right now is pretty meh, not intrigued by it because i dont like the characters a lot. i liked ubel at first but slowly growing to dislike her, i dont like her character or her dialogue, feels very forced for what type of person she is. other than that, i dont have anything else negative to say about the series but i will say i think the slice of life stuff is much more natural and better to read than the action stuff, which for a shonen i understand and like that it's there to break up moods and considering the entire story is a journey, but i feel theres a bit of a slog in the dialogue when it comes to the action stuff. these are very lovable characters and i want to see them succeed, which is why i love the slice of life bits a lot more. the characters are so adorable as a result, frieren is one of my favorite characters, she's very expressive and a bit stubborn which is fun to read in the slice of life stuff. fern is also very adorable too, i love her character too and how she grows up in the story. i love her bangs too, absolute sucker for characters with bangs.
let's see.... what else did i do? well i watched half of the webseries for nirvana the band the show and that was amazing. i have a new fondness and love towards the show because of how raw and authentic it is, the show uses real people, real locations, real everything and its sooo good as a result. copyright doesn't matter! i love it. the viceland show is pretty much the same way and its glorious. i love the show so much. i would speak more on the viceland show but if youre reading this i want you to drop this and immediately find the show and watch it. absolutely mind-blowing shit and it broke my mind. for being so much into jackass, nathan for you, eric andre, arrested development and a lot of shows that are handheld style and very witty and dry, im genuinely surprised that i havent found / watched this earlier. it's a masterpiece of both comedy and visuals and shows how much you're allowed to get away with and it leaves you stumped (it did me at least...). seriously though, drop this and watch the show immediately. you will not regret it. it goes without saying that my interest in this show DOES spawn from the fact there's a new movie (well it came out last month but whatever) that's coming out digitally in a week and a half and to say i'm excited is an understatement. i am beyonf excited, i have heard nothing but praise for the movie and after watching both the webseries and the show... i get it! absolute masterpiece as i've stated and hopefully have implied. god, what a show. im sure ill speak more on this show in later posts but mannnnnnnnn its worth every second. i also started watching the Mega64 versions, i'm only 3 episodes in but it's really fun so far, i love the aesthetic and the idea. the only reason why i started watching is because mega64 is one of my favorite youtube channels and ive been curious for a long time, so finally being able to watch it feels nice, i even bought their patreon to watch it, yay! having money is awesome! on the real though, i'm very glad about starting it, i know it gets better as time goes on and i cant wait to get there. hm..
what else? i just realized that this is all one huge block of text lol, im going to space it out from now on to seperate each topic so it doesn't feel like a burden to read. i only blog for myself though, i don't expect anyone ever to read any of these, but it's nice to just write and write about stuff going on. i'd have a digital diary but i don't like using those and google docs runs terribly, but i love how easy and fun blogger is to use, and i can also write non blog posts (research posts possibly) if i wanted to, which i will for sure do on here. i miss the blogs, i miss being under ruby, i miss being creative, i miss being obsessively into things, i'm so glad to be under this name. i love ruby. i love my friends too. i feel more human that i've ever felt in a long time and it's amazing. what was i talking about? no clue.
i also played sonic 2 earlier! i haven't played in years so it was fun to play a bit. i got around 8 zones in and i have to say.... metropolis is awful. terrible, terrible zone. ive been watching a lot of sonic videos again cause i went on a sprawl last week and started watching a bunch of videos from cybershell from sonic and i was like "huh i should play the game again," and im glad i did cause sonic is cool as hell. he's blue, fast and has a cool additude, what's not to love?
uh, uh.... hm. hololive. nah, im playing. i should've said it like this: hololive! i love hololive, i got into it at some point last month and it was very much worth it, i feel i found it at the right time. im fairly new to it so i don't know that much history / info but im having a blast. my top 4 at the moment is: pekora, korone, vivi and fuwamoco. they're all adorable! pekora and korone are my oshis (i was surprised they used that term) because they're both very funny and unique. this video and this one are reasons why they're my oshis. i really love the both of them to bits, and i love their music too. i think korone is adorable too, her voice and her whole dog shtick resonates well with me and she's also genuinely fun to watch as a result. i also love how ruthless and out there pekora is, feels very comforting and kinda relatable as i feel me and her share a lot of the same traits. i even have a pekora hand plush! (i also have one of sora one too)
pekovivi is also my favorite duo, there's a lot of cute moments between the two and you can clearly tell pekora cares about vivi which is just adorable to watch. i feel a lot of there best moments are from their minecraft streams because... wow. so much good stuff there. even their cover is so cute! i listen to it a lot. korone also has a cover for earthbound's pollyanna and... its SOOOO GOOD. its very touching, i remember wanting to cry after i heard it for the first time. i love a lot of hololive's og music because they're very much j-pop and i love that sound, but it's nice to finally be into j-pop to some extent. i could never get into j-pop idols like i wanted to because they couldn't click for me for some reason but hololive scratches the exact itch i want from idols so... it's better than nothing. nah, i kid, i love these characters a bunch. my favorite unit is hololive gamers! obviously since one of my oshis is korone. i hope to have a lot more merch before the year ends, i wanna show my love and support for my favs to the fullest extent. my goal is to have a majority of the handplushes to the characters i like. i hope theres a fuwamoco one because i know theres ones for suisei, korone, fubuki and the rest of hololive gamers that i really want (to my knowledge at least).
i've been writing for a long time and i don't want to stop but i have some stuff i have to do so i'll cut it short here. i guess this is the first "proper" blog post, lol. i'm very happy with it. hoping to write more posts like this in the future as they're very relaxing to do. i love getting my brain like this. i'll see you guys in the next post! toodles~
