THE VIPER HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh even with the decently good event bonus I got, I was having trouble motivating myself...largely because 1) ADHD and 2) generally feeling sicky all week :c BUT!!!! I defeated all of it and got my snaky boy ;D

tbh recording SPPs saved/motivated me...I've done 100+ in the past couple days and it definitely made grinding more fun. Maybe I'll do that for the year end tour coming up......

Anyway, Liz is still grinding so I'm up supporting them...so here's Ibara's SPP for 円環のRefraction!!!!!

Watch on YouTube

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S ABOUT TO BE THE 4 HOUR MAINTENANCE FOR THE JP EVENT!!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Eden and I love the look of this event and I cannot wait for whatever deranged bullshit Ibara gets up to XD

Today we went to Lidl and I got overdone, which appears to be a Lidl theme these days???? I mean I'm also just only feeling so well...I went too hard on Friday and I've been feeling it all weekend ;w; We did get fancy cheese and bruschetta, so I had a dinner of crusty bread with stuff on it. It was very tasty!!!!

I've also made a bunch of icons this week!!! I participated in iconthat for the first time in like...two years........idk I keep forgetting to check out their challenges somehow? I wasn't even sure if I'd participate in this one, since it was about making icons focused on specific emotions and I didn't wanna do something that seemed complicated XD But I ended up doing it and coming up with some really nice stuff~

By the numbers, I've made more icons in the first three months of 2025 than I did in all of 2024, so I'm quite proud of that! Hopefully I can keep this momentum going :D

Also, I recorded a bunch of SPPs in enstars today, because the discord chat was talking about them and I have, uh, a lot of cards. AND the new Kanata 4* came with his SPP for Eccentric Party Night, which I had to see.

Watch on YouTube

but he's sooooooooooooo cute so it was very worth it ♥
also this video was a pain in the ass to embed because I tend to use my own hosting, but that doesn't work with DW whine whine whine

But yeah!! I'm excited for Eden and excited for using that MV for evil purposes OwO aka, icon making~

Because of course it does, it's fuckin Eden, their music is always so fucking good!!!!! So I knew it was gonna be awesome and I couldn't wait and YET IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!!!

IBARA IS THE CENTER FOR IT AND HE'S BRINGING ALL THE WEIRD HORNINESS AND I LOVE HIM FOR THAT!!!!!

I'm so pumped!!!!!!!!!!!

Also the 5* & 4* cards look sick as hell ;D


it's Adam time babeeeeyyyyy~~~~
Hiyori and Jun are the 3* cards, which I'm sure the HiyoriPs are gonna riot over because he's sooooooo overdue for an event 5* weh weh weh. Meanwhile Ibara was the most overdue Eden member for a 5* in general, so even though he kinda jumped the line in getting an event, I'm delighted. Also it's not as bad as Keito jumping the event order so much he now has three AKATSUKI center events while the rest of them have one!!!!

Anyway.

The MV is also just so fucking good it's so delightfully Eden!!! And it's great for me, someone who loves Melting Rouge Soul, that we're having Ibara's insane energy so soon after the engstars run of that event!!!!!!! :D

Watch on YouTube

I know I don't usually embed videos, but this song is so fun so I'm making an exception ;D
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :D

omg also announced yesterday: NEXT MERGE EVENT IN GLOBAL ENSTARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIMERGE MANSIONS RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!! This time Tetora is gonna be the merge game reward, which is like...fine? He's not my favorite and I think HiMERU had a more "me" coded design in his little wizard outfit last year, but I am still delighted to have the merge game return.

.......unfortunately engstars is behind because we had a mini event thing, so Adonis's spotlight time is only starting this week - it ended a couple weeks ago in CN/KR - but that's okay!!!! That's why I play in CN too ;D

Also I don't feel like cutting apart the preview images for the merge stuff because they're all these LONG NARROW VERTICAL IMAGES because they're meant to look good on mobile I think? idk. I don't wanna do it, I already made an icon specifically for this entry XD But the SCR of Tetora's outfit is far superior to the regular, so it's a good thing I'm gonna merge my mansions hard enough to max him out. I'm still regretting not maxing HiMERU tbh.

uhhhhh also we went to Walmart last night and got a bunch of stuff and I frolicked and bemoaned them not being 24 hours anymore, because tbh that was their only real redeeming factor. Still! It was good to get out of the house~

OH AND ANOTHER THING!!! I got my stinky bastard man in CN yesterday :D


lookit him and his stupid fucking cute fucking face I hate him ♥
Now to wait approx 1.5 years for him to hit the ENG server......sobs. Up next for him in engstars is...Last Mission........RIP DOUBLE FACE ILU ;w;

Instead of making any icons, I spent today filling out a "get to know my enstars taste" template/meme I saw on bsky...because I am really bad at staying focused, okay XD Original template from HibikiMango


okay soooooooooooooooooooo let's not start with how much Double Face is on there...I'm a man who knows what he wants~ And sometimes what I want is murder boyfriends, as if that's so wrong ♥

My dream shuffle unit is one Liz and I came up with, affectionately known as "autism hours: the shuffle" because...well......look at them. It's every flavor of autism in one unit :D And Wataru & Nagisa would finally get to perform together, instead of their eternal "ships passing in the night" duo experience.

Kaname and Jun are moirails for lyfe, I don't make the rules, they're just the palest of pale and I blame Obbligato for how insane it made me about Kaname fucking Tojou. GODDAMN.

Everything else is pretty self-explanatory I think???? KEEP OUT best enstars song; I had it on repeat for so much of last year and it still brings a smile to my face every time I hear it ;w;

OH AND THAT 3* OF MIKA IS THE ONE LIZ AND I CALL "PREGNANCY TEST MIKA" BECAUSE UMMMMM LOOK AT HIM XD

we're so mature I swear

Other than that, I finally started working on the descriptions for my icons. Now that I have 300+ of them, it's pretty daunting, but I'm trying to tell myself I can just pick away at them, bit by bit, and eventually they'll be done. Like, they definitely won't ever be done if I don't start, sooooo.....
