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;

Hey, look, the event calendar in CN did a funny thing and Madara's stupid fucking spring time Halloween event is actually happening in spring XD


he's here he's here he's heeeeeeere I should be embarrassed by how excited I am but I'm not
I don't have a very good event bonus because I'm largely f2p in CN and I'm running low on sources of free dia + of fucking course Natsume didn't come home. again.

BITCH.

I love him he's just sooooo tsundere it hurts

I also ended doing chores earlier!!!!! I know I said I was probably gonna nap, but I cleaned the whole living room! :D I even took the rug out back and beat a bunch of dirt/dust/etc out of it, which was nice...the weather was cool but not too chilly today~ It's just really nice to look at the living room and see how much better it looks. Liz and Pat were suitably impressed when they got home, too.

.....I did take a nap in the afternoon tho, I'll admit it XD I did a bunch of cleaning and then sat down on the couch to rest my eyes, and it was all over. Lumos napped with me though, which was sweet ♥


demon Madara looks really fucking good in this MV honestly, so I kiiiiiinda feel like I should make icons of him in it OwO
Okay okay okay FOCUS UP I'm just still quite tired + my ADHD meds are on backorder so my focus is fucking shot. I just love this event a lot even if I was raging mad when it first happened in JP. I just love to hate Madara XD

We also went to Costco this evening, got some stuff we needed, had hot dogs in the food court - which has definitely become part of the Costco trip routine! - and then chilled for a bit before making a proper dinner. I helped nudge Pat into getting back into dreamwidth, since I've found its slow pace to be a breath of fresh air compared to most of social media. And now Liz is doing some more cleaning! We're finally taking the Christmas tree down, because of who we are as people.

Other than that...I have a bunch of comments sitting in my inbox that I wanna reply to, I've just been really out of it lately D: But I've gotten some really kind words on icons I've made recently, and I wanna express my gratitude ;w; Getting back into the graphics making scene has just been really lovely. Everyone is so welcoming ♥

yaaaaawn okay it's after 1 am...maybe I'll try to sleep at a decent hour (and actually succeed????? hopefully??????)

YEAHHHHHH I MAXED YET ANOTHER EVENT 5* BECAUSE MADARA AND KOHAKU HAD EVENTS TOO DAMN CLOSE TOGETHER!!!!!!!!! my wallet is crying lmao
Also, like the moron that I am, I'm once again trying to make a mood theme. Enstars is new enough that no one else has made one, so I either have to go without or make my own, I guess!!! I'm trying to work on it in some sort of order - aka, the top level moods first and then work on the lower level ones bit by by bit - but I'm not that smart and/or organized. I jumped into it and just started running XD

Look, I tried to go in order, but I have ADHD and sometimes you just go with what you feel...because while trying to find the right image for one mood, you find the PERFECT!!!!!!! one for another, and it just gets out of control.

WHATEVER. It's coming out really nicely so far ;w; It's live on my blog already, because I have no chill and also I love instant gratification~


20 moods down, 112 to go......

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
.....actually I got him at around this time last night, but I was way too tired to post about it. Why am I doing it now instead of sleeping? I have no fucking clue. But I got him in the first 24 hours, and that's what counts :D

Also, I had a nice day of lazing around with Liz and then doing a little bit of writing, but like....lemme tell you, I am finding it very hard to motivate myself this November. I refuse to support NaNoWriMo after everything they've had to say about AI - not to mention how badly they handle conflicts/internal issues in general - but there's nothing stopping me from having a personal writing challenge this month.

Right???

Yeahhhh so apparently I need the external motivation of the community, even if I rarely actually participate in community things with NaNo. It just feels nice knowing a ton of other people are challenging themselves at the same time.

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we can't have nice things, so I spent hours of my life joining + adding fanlistings to my website instead of writing. Or playing more enstars. Or eating. Sometimes ADHD be that way (bad trick).

At least it looks cool.

And also Double Face looks good on my home screen.


I don't care if Halloween is over, Halloween is forever when your favorite pair have both had Halloween events 💜💚🎃
From playing a bunch of duo songs in jp today, I can assure y'all that they do in fact look so good together. It was totally worth spending the memorial coins on Helter-Spider Kohaku despite already having a yellow card of his....someday I'll picked up blue or green cards so he can match with Madara in more songs, but Halloween trumps all ;D

UGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm now hungry because I only ate breakfast but I'm all fussy about shit with nano so I just wanna fling myself into the sun instead of figuring out a meal :T

I've already ranted about this on bsky, twitter, and tumblr - as well as in basically every discord chat I'm in, even with friends who know nothing about enstars - but holy fucking shit how daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare Madara be the Halloween event, how dare the song slap so hard, how dare he look so fucking good, how DARE he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sobs

I'm not usually this aggro with characters I like, but Madara is probably the character that's the most like me that I've actually allowed myself to like. His mommy issues and personality disorder are too real (and he's so fucking pathetic sometimes I can't help but like him I don't know what happened but here I am!!!!!) and so!!! FUCKING!!!!!!! HE'S ABOUT TO BE THE NEWEST JAPANESE EVENT AND IT TAKES SO LONG TO GRIND JP EVENTS AND I BASICALLY FUCKING DIED GETTING HIMERU FROM THE CRAZY:B ONE I TOLD MYSELF THAT WOULD BE THE LAST.

oh no wait I didn't even tell myself it would be the last time, because I can look at that post and see that I dreaded this day!!!


god this wasn't even that long ago; this is from the beginning of September. can I get a fucking break??
So obviously Liz and I are both very excited for this event XD I know it sounds like I'm upset (I am) but it's that kind of upset that's like.......god this is everything I love all in one place, this was made for me, fuck fuck fuck whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

OH AND ALSO BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENING LITERALLY RIGHT BEFORE THE CRAZY:B HALLOWEEN EVENT IN ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been saving up for getting all 5 copies of Helter-Spider Kohaku for months - because I haven't learned my lesson from Fleeting Spring Night, lmao - and now this fucking asshole comes in like HIIIIIIIIIIIIII DON'T YOU LOVE ME?

And I do love him, but I'm not made of money D:

In other enstars news, I updated my jp office to be Halloween and I think it looks really good :D


it's Double Face + friends (characters who have been in various DF events)
anyway. I feel like I had more to scream about and I definitely had other things to talk about (like my anniversary, which ended up being very nice), but I'm listening to ハロウィン・ランデブー + Helter-Spider on loop and my brain is nothing but Halloween idol boys~
