Mod Update: April 3rd, 2021

Hey, Mod SiN here.

It’s been a while, huh?

Yeah, uh, life’s been getting in the way of anything coherent, and I haven’t used Tumblr nearly at all for about a year now. Probably won’t be returning either unless it’s to post FGO rolls on my main blog.

Also, you’ll notice I don’t have a Tenma icon in this post. That’s because I got a new laptop and have basically migrated my existence to it, meaning I lost most of my old files that weren’t integral to my life.

Anyway, yeah, that’s why Kork here hasn’t been talking since 2019. Have a nice life, everyone!

I do apologize for not making any updates for the past several months. Mod SiN-kun has been busy with life, and I have been working on my research. It’s the holiday season, so it may take even longer for us to continue updating this blog.

There is only so much workload one can handle, after all. Thank you for reading, dearest followers.

Mod Update: August 24th, 2019

I do apologize for the lack of posts on this blog lately. It’s not school-related -- I’m not even in school anymore, as previous posts have said. It’s more of an “adult reality is getting in the way” kind of thing. I can’t really put a finger on one reason, because there’s several things I’ve been doing that have kept me from paying much attention to Korekiyo’s observations.

Hello, followers. Thank you all for looking after my younger cousin, Korekiyo Shinguuji. I am Kai Satou. I suppose my occupation would be homemaker.

Today is Korekiyo’s birthday, so Mod SiN and I worked together to try and come up with a surprise for my cousin. We decided that I would be writing the journal entry for today, so that Korekiyo would be able to relax on his birthday.

I’m sure he’s probably just reading up on some folklore or legends instead of actually relaxing, but it’s the thought that counts, is it not?

Once again, thank you all for helping Korekiyo.

I have. . . done some regrettable things.

One of those things is starting to play massively multiplayer online role-playing games; specifically, I have been playing Wizard101. You might think that is weird, for a Japanese person to be playing a game that is primarily in the Americas, but I have been using Mod SiN-kun’s account to do so.

Paying for a game like this would be okay if it were later on in the game, but it appears that the developers had other ideas, as they made it nigh impossible to play past the first two areas with monsters unless you have a decent amount of cash on you. Mod SiN-kun was but a child when he first started playing, so he was able to unlock a few areas in the first and second worlds,

I believe that it would be beneficial to the players if Kingsisle made the first five worlds in the main story free to play, while the rest from then onward would cost money. After all, they’ve had at least two major story arcs now, yet they decided to lock the majority of the first and the entirety of the second behind pay walls. It is a repulsive attempt to make money off of children’s parents, as well as older players who might have better uses for their currency.

I have ranted for too long now. I will admit, though, that Wizard101 is fun while it lasts.

Today is Independence Day in the United States of America, and I’m quite interested in the history of such a world power. Mod SiN-kun says he could not care less, but I feel he cares more than he is letting on.

Last week, Mod SiN-kun visited my home-country of Japan. Sadly, I was not in Tokyo at the time, and I was busy with research, because otherwise I would have gone to meet with him. I hope he had a good time regardless of my appearing or not.

Note:

I'll be going on vacation in Japan starting tomorrow, so there will likely not be any journal entries for at least the next week or so.

Mod SiN-kun seems strangely busy. Either that or he has been sleeping too much again. I do not know what to do with him sometimes. I do not wish to give up this blog, but only time will tell.

There are no further updates for today.

Mod SiN-kun has officially graduated high school! I am extremely proud of him, as someone who is able to call him his friend. I felt as though I should change the honorific with which I refer to him, but he told me that “kun” is still perfectly fine, due to how close he and I are thanks to this blog and his time writing with me.

I do hope to continue running this blog with him during the upcoming future, as Mod SiN-kun continues his trip into adulthood.

Mod SiN-kun and I have begun reading the Umineko no Naku Koro ni visual novel together. I am intrigued as to why he would invite me to join him on this journey, but it does seem like something that I would be interested in.

Currently, I must say my favorite character is Ushiromiya Hideyoshi-san. He seems like a very likable man.

The sister thing is kind of strange and we're trying to figure out how to approach it without upsetting you. You're still our precious classmate, Kiyo! Please don't feel otherwise! -Kaede

Akamatsu-san… Thank you for your kind words. 

My sister and I knew that her disease would eventually take her life, so she imparted much of her studies to me in the hopes that perhaps I could carry on her work. She inspired me to be an anthropologist, after all. Sister was an important person to me, but even when I tried to use my knowledge of folklore to reach her, I came out of it with a metal limb.

I am glad to know my classmates still reach out to me. Truly.

I’m wondering what to write today. . . There is not much that has happened, seeing as all of my classmates have not kept in contact with me. It is a shame, but I can understand why they have all left me in the dust.

“This is fine,” I should be saying, but something just feels amiss.

Journal Entry: May 18th, 2019

Well, I tried to write an entry on the 16th, but apparently Tumblr’s horrible website had other ideas. I thought I would just let everyone know that Mod SiN-kun is okay and is currently in a much better mindset than he was at the last update. Nothing else of note occurred today.

Mod SiN-kun’s mental health has not been all that great the past couple of nights. I hope he recovers so this blog can continue to be a good place. I know not when he will be feeling better, but I know he would not simply abandon this blog.

I have not seen the Detective Pikachu movie yet. I am not certain whether I will, either. As for Avengers: Endgame, I have no interest in that series of movies. I get so engrossed in my research sometimes that I miss the “big movies” that are being released, so this journal will likely lack any spoilers for films or the like.

Friends are important to have for any human being. Even I tried to make friends with my classmates. . . Well, you can see how that turned out when everyone left except me. But, still, friendship is good. I am glad to see when people are good friends.

I do not know why this thought occurred to me. Perhaps I am starting to get lonely again. Nevertheless, I will do my best to keep everyone updated on my whereabouts, or Mod SiN-kun’s status, if need be. My followers are my friends as well, after all.

Mod SiN-kun has been quite busy lately, and he’s been telling me all about it today. Amazing how someone who started so far behind in his first year managed to finish his classes a month early. It’s fascinating what people can do when they’re determined, isn’t it?
