New event announcement featuring Switch with Natsume as the center, aka one of my favorite characters and units and just HOT DAMN I love the single shot of the MV we have right now!!!!!!


it's like Hot Topic meets summer festival (with a side of traffic safety thx to bright orange accents lmao)
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk man I've been sick so I've been pretty much completely out of it, but at least I have Switch to support me!!!!!!! It's the Crazy:B climax in ENG, so of course JP had to do an event I super care about at the same time!!!!!!!!!!! NATSUME PLZ. I'm excited and also like "god why"

Also I'm just. idk how to put this into words because I don't feel great, but like...I was really disappointed by the last Switch event, so I'm trying to be hopeful but am also nervous. The song + outfits are better, but that's no guarantee the story will be...tho nothing could be as bad as some of the ending bits of Wish sooooo

I have a bunch of nui pics to share (featuring a cute outfit I found at the mall that actually fits the pattythree nuis!!!) but I'm tired :/ And uh. I got the ps2 repaired! So that's good. It's working even better than it was, since they managed to fix how the flip top was warped.

Maybe tomorrow I'll write a more coherent entry ;w;

uhhhhhhhhhhhh my brain is mush because I've been in the enstars mines all day (playing the jp tour) but I have many thoughts about the whole two (2) chapters of story I read XD I usually read the whole thing at once, but I couldn't help but jump ahead to the bit that's Crazy:B + Madara because...okay, because I'm a simple man, I'm always hoping for kohamada crumbs.


the boys were also here for Kohaku + Madara interactions, clearly
AND IT FUCKING DELIVERED!!!!!!! Yeah, it was only two chapters, but they had a ton of back and forth, cute snarky bits, etc etc etc ;w; Rinne now has a nickname for Madara - Mikeneko-chan - and it's so fucking cute!!! I'm so glad someone finally called him a calico cat in text, it's important to me *w* And then Niki said that Kohaku and Madara looked like cats together, which was so fucking precious. Like. Yes, please compare my faves to kitty cats, my day is made.

ALSO!!!!!!! Rinne told Madara that he has to prove his worth before he can have Kohaku back - which for the record isn't even why Madara was there, he just showed up and that was the first thing Rinne said to him XD - and it very much had the vibe of "you broke my friend's heart and I'm not gonna let you do it again" so like. VERY GOOD SHIP CRUMBS FOR MEEEEEEEE. This was followed by Kohaku being like "I can do whatever I want" which, again, gay????? SO GOOD.

HiMERU very clearly did not like that Madara was there and wanted him to leave. Which make sense with how dismissive he was of Double Face during Ephemeral Festival, but I like that Rinne was not and instead acknowledged that Madara is an important part of Kohaku's life...he's just a shit who needs to make up for wronging Kohaku.

gaaaaaaaaaaaaay ♥

And another thing!!!!! It opened with Madara pondering on Nice Arneb Thunder and thinking that him + everything regarding 4piece and his quick acceptance into ES is really sketchy. Which is 1) accurate and 2) hahahaaa I fucking called it, I just knew Madara wouldn't trust this dude!!!!!!!! I said this during the first 4piece tour last year and tbh Madara is one of (the only????) character who hasn't been immediately taken in by Nice's cult of personality charisma. Kohaku also seemed concerned about him after Madara showed up to question Rinne about his past, so like......there's still time for my crack theory to win!!!!! Double Face could still take Nice Arneb Thunder out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry not sorry I'm just having a nice time uwu


I ground through the tour quite quickly so I could get Madara's 4* ♥
Honestly, the tour setlist has been really solid so far!!! I just finished up stop 10 and it's been less than 24 hours, which is a lot faster than I've played any recent tours tbh. idk I'm just having a nice time? It's nice to enjoy things ;w;

I mean also Madara is in the event so there's a lot of MaM and Double Face songs, so I am delighted by that ;D

( more enstars-related screencaps in here )

Oh, right. I do have one complaint about the event. Two complaints, I guess? But they're related, so I'll complain about them together. There's no event song and no MV outfits ;w; I know that tours don't usually have either of those, but the year end tours usually do. I guess because it's the prologue to the next chunk of main story it doesn't? BUT I'M STILL FUSSY.

Just another reason to be mad at Nice Arneb Thunder XD

Liz thinks that the outfits are gonna be the 10th anniversary MV outfits that everyone gets, which, like...okay. That's nice and all, but I wanted year end tour outfits ;w;

AT LEAST I HAVE ALTERED AND MY FOUR COPIES OF TSUMUGI


and here's a Lumos for sticking around for this whole longass post!

SCREAMING ROUND TWO!!!!


the way I literally screamed when he showed up, I did not expect his tsundere ass to make an appearance :O
So the Altered scout box went amazingly, lmao. I also got three copies of Tsumugi, because at least he knows how to be prompt and responsible.

uhhhhhhhh the livestream was great, the new character wasn't Kaname BUT he's apparently an assistant to Nice Arneb Thunder, aka sketchy dude extraordinaire. There's now a giant floating blimp above Ensemble Square????? The next bit of plot sounds insane, though I'm not upset. I love ridiculous things; I do love YuGiOh after all XD

OH RIGHT. ANOTHER FUCKING THING.


Madara is one of the cards in the end of year tour because he's a fucking attention hog and I hate him and I want to chew glass about him all the fucking time!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's some sort of magical girl transformation going on with this event/the next bit of plot????? Like. Uh. It's a lot. It's called "Main Story Mega Sphere" which even sounds like some sort of YGO bullshit...

ngl I love it ♥

Also I'm fuckin tired, so this entry is kinda all over the place :T

Liz and I are gonna watch the Element web anime with Alex tonight, because we wanna rewatch it and she hasn't seen it yet. And since Altered is starting tomorrow in engstars, it's well timed :D

HELL TO THE YEAHHHHH I GOT TSUMUGI!!!!!!!!! :D
It was a lot of grinding in the last 48 hours or so, but!!! I DID IT!!!! I brought him home ♥ Now I have all of Switch in Yellow - all of them Vocal-based, even! - and I have to somehow get used to his shorter hair ;w; New glasses, too...

That's basically most of what I did today and yesterday XD I finally got a good night's sleep because we got more Nyquil and it KNOCKED ME THE FUCK OUT. I slept for nearly 12 hours, but it means I've now mostly shaken off whatever made me so sick :D

Oh, right!


2-for-1 special: I got Mika today in English~


Now they can hang out in the abandoned building XD
Okay, okay, it's after 5 am and Liz is falling over themself asleep, so I have to pass out!!

I really wanted a cookie cake, and so...


I had to make something to commemorate our fallen comrade 💙 rip Tsumugi’s long hair, may flights of angels and all that~~~
aka, I used my many years of cake decorating experience to make something really funny, because sometimes when you're upset or disappointed, all you can do is laugh XD I do think I managed to catch the funeral/celebration of life flier vibe pretty well, though!!!!

I'm continuing to feel better- well enough that I went to the grocery store today! It completely wiped me out afterwards, but I'll still call that successful. I managed to pick up some easy foods to hopefully carry me the rest of the way through recovery, as well. And eventually I won't feel like complete ass!!!!!!!

tbh I don't have much else to say; I spent most of today working on icons or grinding the JP event. I will get Tsumugi!!!!!!!!!!!

( some random enstars accomplishments in here )

Other than that...I think my phone should be charged enough to get back to playing enstars~


one final shitpost: the auto-translate for this is not great

The play was so good!!! I love the theater!!!!!! I WISH WE COULD GO MORE OFTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sobs plays are good and I love them in general ;w;

But!!! The Importance of Being Earnest was gonna be queer no matter what, but this was a delightfully homosexual production :D All the costuming was spot on and just!!! I don't have enough smart words to describe it, but it was fun *w*

Also, we took the boys (because of course we did), so Double Face also got to have a nice date night!


and the theater is just soooooo pretty!!!!
HOLD ON FUCK WHATEVER ELSE I WAS GONNA SAY IN THIS ENTRY: SWITCH EVENT PREVIEW IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm gonna take a hard stance and start complaining immediately, because excuse me wtf Tsumugi got a fucking hair cut?????


LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, SIR


AND it appears to be Natsume's fault- I don't care if Tsumugi asked him to do it, I'll fistfight him no matter what!!!!
sobs I was so excited...I mean I still am!!!!!! I'm just sad about Tsumugi and his hair and his promise to Natsume and.......and I thought maybe it would finally be longer AND INSTEAD THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm okay I'm okay lying

uhhhhhhhh okay. cool. lemme not end this by whining XD I've got a couple more pics from date night :D
