Mu's world

Welcome my dear!! I will try to post every week! I loved interacting with cool people online and I want that again ‹/𝟹

[mumumundo]

Welcome to my Blog!!! 

Hi traveller! I'm happy to know you're here <3 Maybe you came because you're a friend (hey friend!), maybe you are a follower of a Tiktok/Twitter account of mine (hey follower!) or just a random person that found my blog accidentally (hey person!).

I know that you might have questions regarding this Blog. I will try to be as clarifying as I can.

What the heck is this blog?

Well, for a long time I've been wanting to have a record of my memories and interests. Things that make me myself. In fact, I had a blog when I was younger, but it was basic.

I am migrating from Blogger, so I am basically writing all of the posts I had there ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´^｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡ It's probably going to take a while, but yea. I would absolutely LOVE if you guys comment, interact among each other, send me recommendations... It would really make me happy :}

Who am I?

Well, If you know me in person then I don't have much to say. If you don't know me...

I was born in 2005, in the southern region of Brazil (se tu eh brasileiro, comenta alguma coisa veyr). I am a pianist, accompanist and concertist (but I will try to talk less about piano in this blog. Most people know me for being a pianist and I wanna use this blog to express myself w/o that label). I currently study and live in the US (no, I am not rich, I got a full scholarship lol).I have ASD and one of the things I am the most passionate about besides piano is linguistics/languages in general. I speak Portuguese, English, Spanish and French, although I can talk a little (A1-A2) in German, Italian and Mandarin. But I studied many other languages, including Greek, Russian, Polish, Arabic, Swedish, Turkish, Japanese (we all had that phase) and Korean (we all had that phase²).

My physical appearance: I am skinny, tall and with light skin. My hair is medium, light brunette and wavy (curly if the weather's hot and humid). I love to wear knitted sweaters, sweatpants and chuck taylors.

What posts to expect

I will not be too committed to this Blog because I am a full time college student and I work, so please don't expect me to post here every day or week. I will post about new discoveries, phases that I had, fandoms I'm in (as well as headcanons, maybe?), music that I like, or whatever I'm interested at the moment. 

[mumumundo]

Do you have any request?

Please give me recommendations! I kinda struggle to think of new content, so if you could post your comment here giving me ideas I would really appreciate it :}

 My golden age (2013-2015)!

﹒˚ ₊ ︵﹒⊹ ๑ ︵︵ ๑ ⊹﹒︵

            Girl... ( ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ഒ

            I really miss these years. There were so many things happening, but I am going to point out some that were the most important for me.

 ﹒˚ ₊ ︵﹒⊹ ๑ ︵︵ ๑ ⊹﹒︵

 FANDOMS: I remember I was a creepy pasta kid, and I will talk about the two most popular ones (that I was interested in): Five Nights at Freddy's and Slenderman (he GENUINELY scared me istg ). I was a FNAF kid and I remember watching all of HUEstation's (Brazilian YouTuber) videos about the game's theories, and I would draw. Like, a lot. In fact, I had a weird relation with the characters. Do not blame me, I was just a weird kid. (that somehow made me remember that Cupcakke audio "every kid with autism" lol)

 I remember that in 2015 I searched about Foxy. And I found a particular website, with a green flame icon. If you are cultured enough you'll know that I'm talking about Spirit Fanfics. I fear that was the moment where I found out that I liked boys.

            (((basically it was an explicit fanfic. Yes, with an animatronic; a robot. Again, in my defense, I was just a poor weird kid with internet access)))

            And I followed the launch of FNAF 2, 3, 4, FNAF world... It was really a part of my personality (*´∇｀*) thanks, Scott

 ﹒˚ ₊ ︵﹒⊹ ๑ ︵︵ ๑ ⊹﹒︵ 

MOVIES: I loved watching Coraline! I remember I wanted to be her friend so bad. And I would also write Fanfics about her and my oc. I also loved the movie "Alpha and Omega" (of COURSE I had a wolf phase, Jesus I was aggressively shipping wolves), and I was a HUGE FAN of the "Buddies" Franchise (that one with the Golden Retriever puppies), and I would also write fanfics (but adding more puppies, and their parents were my dog and my friend's lol). I had many stick puppets with the characters:( me and my friend would draw so many and play together...

﹒˚ ₊ ︵﹒⊹ ๑ ︵︵ ๑ ⊹﹒︵

 FANFICS: Ok, I told already that I wrote many fanfics. But it was actually something I took seriously! I would ask my parents to give me notebooks as gifts, because I was writing all the time. And they were stories with more than two hundred pages, sometimes with follow-ups! The Buddies fanfics had, like, 5 sequels.

10 years old me writing a fanfic scene where a night guard kisses a literal furry animatronic from a precarious family pizzeria

﹒˚ ₊ ︵﹒⊹ ๑ ︵︵ ๑ ⊹﹒︵

MUSIC: During this time, I was listening to Katy Perry. I knew the whole "One of the Boys", "Teenage Dream" and "PRISM" albums. I also loved Adele, Lady Gaga and Sia! And of course, since I was a FNAF kid, I would also listen to a lot of The Living Tombstone.

GAMES: In 2013, I played Minecraft for the first time. My friend called me to his apartment (his brother and HIS MOM played with us too !!! ;◜◡◝) and I remember the first things I built were a brick house (basically a cube but ok) and a spruce treehouse (basically a cube but ok²). They also had the Aether mod, so I managed to experience it too :] 

            Two other games really left a mark were Animal Jam and Transformice. I LOVED Transformice and I even had OCS in the game! And I remember spending a lot of time playing Animal Jam and even dating random people - in AJ AND in Transfomice too ('T᷄⌑T᷅)

Transformice. This gives me so much nostalgia...

Animal Jam! I still remember my name: Soneca Garrafeliz (you had to select 3 pre-available names, and these meant "Nap Happyclaw" in Portuguese)

 ﹒˚ ₊ ︵﹒⊹ ๑ ︵︵ ๑ ⊹﹒︵

            Did you have a similar background? Let me know please!!! xoxo and see you in the next post!

(p.s. I'm writing this in the Music Department because I forgot my keys at the Library. I can't go home, but it's past 6AM already... Maybe I'll take a nap when I get home)

 Undertale!

✿　.　˚　. 　 ˚　✿.

            Oh, how I love this game...

            It was probably 2020. I was in my bad phase and I had heard about this game many, many times - but I had never even watched a gameplay of it. So I thought to myself: you know what? I am going to install this right now, and let's see how it goes. And it became a hyperfixation.

            I think I never cried so much because of a game before. Well, I have cried because of some visual novels (ahem...), but what Undertale did to me was another level. I became so connected with the characters, mainly Asriel, Toriel and Alphys.

✿　.　˚　. 　 ˚　✿.

Cute art by Charamells on X!

✿　.　˚　. 　 ˚　✿.

            I can't understand how Toby Fox did this in such a young age. The characters are so captivating and the effort he put into the narrative blows my mind. One thing that me, as a musician, ABSOLUTELY LOVE is the Soundtrack. There is a video on youtube that shows how every single motif develops and is connected with other tracks.

✿　.　˚　. 　 ˚　✿.

✿　.　˚　. 　 ˚　✿.

            During this period, I was still obsessed with Yume Nikki. And now that I had played Undertale I wanted to create a Fangame using RPG Maker (fun fact: I was composing Lo-fi during this period. I talk a bit about it in my "old journals" post!). I remember installing all the sound fonts that Toby Fox and Kikiyama used in Undertale/Yume Nikki because I wanted it to be clearly inspired (´͈  ᵕ `͈ ）

            I would create my own sprites (I found a post on my old Reddit account about it!), and I remember I had the whole lore in my head (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) but I forgot 99% of the thins that happened in this period. But in some of my Reddit posts I mention that it is a universe where Asriel doesn't die, and Dogamy and Dogaressa adopt you. Unfortunately I lost all of the little tracks I made for the Fangame :{

✿　.　˚　. 　 ˚　✿.

            But yeah, I remember crying a lot because of Undertale. I used to create fake scenarios all the time thinking of my parallel Undertale universe where I would drink tea with Asgore (jesus I was MAD in love with that mf), play with Asriel, bake with Toriel, eat muffins with Muffet, build snowmen with Sans (I was also in love with that mf) and Papyrus, sing Karaoke with Mettaton, watch Anime with Alphys and Undyne... These were certainly good times (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)

            Have you ever played this game before? Let me know what you think of it!! xoxo

Do I have a religion?

︵︵﹆ . ⁺ . ✦ ﹒₊˚𓂃 ★﹒₊‧

            So, I was born and raised in a conservative family. I was baptized in the catholic church and I even attended catechism classes and received confirmation. Then, when I was a teenager, my parents became Adventist, and I didn't really like that church; I'd rather go to the catholic mass, but I didn't really have a choice. Then, when I was about 16 years old I became more interested in Wicca. It was during my  dark age, in the middle of the Pandemic. And after some years I finally stopped having a religion, and now I consider myself an Atheist.

            There's a channel that's very cool, on YouTube, by the British influencer Alex O'Connor. I love his videos, mainly about Religion and Philosophy.  Of course, there are many other Atheists that I admire, mainly from my country like Matheus Benites, Rita von Hunty or Chileno Gomez. I have no problem at all with religious people, but I feel pity for them. It can be scary to leave religion. as most people learn to believe, pray, and obey from childhood. But I believe that a large portion of the world will lift this dogmatic veil in a few generations.

︵︵﹆ . ⁺ . ✦ ﹒₊˚𓂃 ★﹒₊‧

Is there any religion I like?

            Definitely, yes! I personally think that Taoism and Buddhism are beautiful religions/life philosophies and I am actually exercising some of the Zen Mahayana Buddhism's teachings! I was adventuring myself with non-dualism about 2 years ago, and I would meditate often; but many things made me stop doing it. I feel like my mental health was more stabilized back then, to be honest. I surely enjoyed spending some time meditating...

︵︵﹆ . ⁺ . ✦ ﹒₊˚𓂃 ★﹒₊‧

Do you have any religion? If not, do you like one (or more) in specific? Let me know :D xoxoxo

How does my dream life look like?

Hi dear! I recently saw a post on Reddit and I thought "oh, I should write about this!", and here we are. One thing I think is weird is that many people also want to live in a similar way, I wonder why. But if you can relate to this post then please leave a comment! o(≧∇≦o)

⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹

  I'd really like to be in a small town. I lived in a capital city for a long time, and I don't like the fast pace, the noise and the crowds at all... I've been to music festivals, spending a lot of time in small towns, and I simply feel like I could breathe more.

            I'd love to be a concert pianist, certainly—and that's what I'm preparing for, building a big repertoire and going to competitions. But I'd feel more fulfilled if I lived in a smaller town, perhaps teaching piano lessons or running a small conservatory.  I really like animals, so I'd probably have pets. I don't want kids, at least not right now. Since I live in the US, my backyard has lots of squirrels, rabbits, and occasionally deer that come to eat. And that's something I want to keep happening! I usually have my breakfast in the backyard (except in winter... I have a love-hate relationship with snow).

⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹

            I have many Chinese friends—and I've always been deeply interested in Chinese culture. For a long time, I was a fanboy of Japan and Korea and a target of anti-China propaganda, even though most of the things we see in countries like Japan and Korea originate from China (by the way, maybe I'll go to China in a few years! I'm excited about that). And I'd love to live in a small village in that country... it's okay if it's in another Sinosphere country. But the culture really attracts me, and it would be a dream to experience that 🏮🎐🥢🥠

Unfortunately, we live in a culture that tells us we must always be productive to make money, as if we were machines. But we're just little monkeys with opposable thumbs who have learned to invent systems and follow them as if they were dogmas... In my honest opinion, we should simply do what makes us happy without hurting others. Imagine the dream, living without luxury, with good food, friends... („ᵕᴗᵕ„)

                     I need to compose, listen to music and drink coffee while it rains . I want to draw by a river, make mushroom tea, and then lie in my messy bed with my cat during Fall. Explore my dreams, teach, invite friends over to relax and eat pumpkin pie. And I know most people want this kind of life because it is the most human life we can have...🍵ྀི

⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹

oh, to live in a Chinese village ๐·°(⋟﹏⋞)°·๐

lowkey flex: deer come to my backyard already, they are so cute!!

Okay but this is like so pretty T_T I wanna get high there

Fall gets really pretty here. I love to go outside and drink coffee or eat snacks watching the colorful fall palette on the trees ^^

I want to be there NOW

What does your dream life look like? Tell me, I would absolutely love to know!! xoxoxoxo

Struggles during the Pandemic (Trigger Warning)

────────────

Trigger Warning: sui**de idealization, SH

────────────

I am writing this because now it is a moment where I feel comfortable doing so. So if you are not interested, It is completely okay and you do not have to read this post; I personally think that it is beautiful to see how much I have changed and, even though everything seemed lost, I managed to overcome it and see things as they really are. 

────────────

Contextualizing

            When I was almost 15, I shared with my friends that I am LGBT. Since I was raised in a very conservative family and I went to church every week (I just stopped after I turned 18). I still do not know the reason - if there's any - but since then I started to feel worse and worse. I began taking meds when I was 15 and just stopped at 19. Fortunately I am feeling great now!

            I assume that things got worse because of the pandemic. I stayed home for almost 3 years, and I don't even know how I managed to graduate from high school. Since I was taking many meds I would sleep the whole day, and the funny thing is I don't remember what happened from 2020 to 2022 (probably due to the meds or my mental state). I spent many months of 2021 in hospitals, since my parents could not take care of me and I needed to be watched so I didn't do anything weird.

            Fortunately I managed to find pictures, screenshots or memes that helped me to remember what was happening back then. And I am going to share it here :)

────────────

What was I doing from 2020 to 2022?

I remember I was in my Twitter phase. Since I did not talk much to my"real life" friends, I interacted on social media. I remember having a profile for furry art (sorry), and I had more than 3k followers (!!!). For a poor and mentally fucked up gooner, I was doing art, I guess?

I used to sell photos. No explanations needed. But I made at least $90 with that...

I was addicted to Undertale, Animal Crossing (I used to play City Folk and Pocket camp. SO cute, I LOVE THIS GAME) and Changed (guess what, a furry game). And I was also into VNs (visual novels), but I am NOT going to share them here (˃̣̣̥ᯅ˂̣̣̥) but yeah...

I was a RPG gamemaster. Remember that account I had on Twitter (the one where I did art, not the one where I sold pictures...)? So, I had like 20 friends that wanted to do a medieval RPG. And if you went through that RPG phase, I'm so sorry for you...I fell in love, cried and hated characters that didn't even exist. But, between us, I miss playing RPG...

My favorite singer during this period was Billie Eilish. I still like her, but mainly in 2020, I was OBSESSED.

I stopped playing piano for a while. I didn't have the energy to practice, so I remember stopping for at least a year...

My comfort song was Exploration from the Coraline ost!!!

I was in my gaming era too. I remember spending hours paying Minecraft, The Sims, Brawl Stars, PUBG... But it was just during this period. Also, I was pretty good at doing Minecraft Datapacks and Resource packs! I remember doing maps with a lot of riddles, cool missions and detailed lores... Unfortunately I lost everything.

I did many little houses, characters, animals and objects with clay. I'd paint it and put them all over my room as tiny decorations ^^

I would make terrariums and take care of little insects, like centipedes, spiders, roly polies and snails. I did not find pictures I took, so I searched on google. They were closed and you could spend years without opening it, since the water cycle would work by itself.

I would also raise Butterflies! I remember collecting Butterfly and Moth Caterpillars, and I would search about the species from my state so I could know what they feed on.

I had these little glass jars and they looked like this. I also had a horizontal one like the 2nd one! I remember spending a lot of time watching the snails, centipedes, spiders and roly polies...And the 3rd one is very similar to one I had! I remember putting bigger bugs like beetles inside.

────────────

Media I found!

This was my safe space: An "upgraded Village"

Damn I was not bad lowkey

────────────

My 2021 Sketchbooks...

 ────────────

Jesus. Some of the characters were from Pinterest but I don't remember their names :(

Did I not know how to take pictures? Or was my camera just terrible?

────────────

Some comfort

 ────────────

Since my parents had to work and I couldn't be by myself, I would spend a lot of time in my grandma's place. These pictures were taken during winter; Since I' from southern Brazil, it was very cold. I loved it. You can see in the 2nd picture that the 15-16 years old me was trying to learn Japanese despite my mental health lol

────────────

My Ventbook (TW)

 ────────────

1st picture: Oh my God, that might look cringe. But you can see that my mind was weird lol. 2nd picture: Jesus, was that Portuguese? English? French? And no, that was not red ink...

Oh! Animaniacs! I was watching that too, during this period. I remember putting Wakko as my pinterest profile picture at some point.

────────────

Well, even though I was in a bad mental state there are some things that gave me hope. I was a bit productive, although in different things. If you are feeling depressed or just going through a harsh time, remember that it is temporary and I assure you it will get better. When we are going through a time like this, we see everything with a "filter", so we think that there is no hope or pleasure in living. Do not be scared to ask for help, talk to friends, listen to music, eat good food, go to nature... I promise everything is going to be alright!

   My recent journals!

           Hi friend! I hope you're doing alright! ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

            I recently made a post about my first journals, so I was wondering...why don't I make a post showing how they have changed over the years? And here we are, I'm gonna share how they look like!

            Well, after some time using the Cyrillic, Greek and Hiragana writing systems, I tried to study new ones. I was very interested in the Hangul system (since I was studying it a couple years ago), as well as the Arabic, Devanagari, Hebrew and Thai.

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

In order: Arabic Abjad, Devanagari Abugida, Hebrew Abjad, Thai Abugida and Korean Alphabet

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

            And these are the writing systems I used the most. I still have the journals from 2022 to 2023, when I was 16-17 years old. This time the pages became a bit more interesting. I would choose one predominant color palette, and I started using washi tapes and stickers! 

            I am going to show some of my favorite pages. There are way more, but I don't want to fill my blog with pictures. You can try to use Google Lens to translate, but since they are actually transcriptions with different grammar, it's gonna be just nonsense <(￣︶￣)>

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

I started writing in the Arabic Abjad. Of course, it isn't actual Arabic, because first: I don't speak it, and second: If it was just Arabic, people could simply take pictures and translate it ;)

Jesus Christ, apparently I didn't know how to draw people..?

I loved to write manuscripts of sheet music and do collages. I think it's so pretty!

I tried to do a watercolor drawing there, but I was actually  interested in oil painting. I used watercolor because I was broke, basically. Surprise, I still am T_T

This one was a little different, did you notice it? I tried to write using the Thai writing system. But the thing is: there are SO MANY rules for writing vowels...And all the letters demand a lot of strokes and attention. Since I was lazy, I didn't use it anymore.

This time I used the Devanagari system, used a lot in India and  neighbor countries! I watched the Steven Universe movie that day.

Now there are two systems: In the left page, it is the Korean Alphabet. In the right, it is a system I was inventing: A fake Chinese, mixed with a modified Hiragana. If you want I can make another post abt it!

Here I used a lot of the fake Chinese system I created. And you can maybe tell I was in love with Senshi and Yao... Poor me

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

2025: Back to journaling!!

            Well, and now I am a college student who lives far away from my parents. So technically I could just write in my native language, Portuguese, or maybe in English or other languages I know; I don't have to hide the fact that I'm LGBT, my opinions and all, since my parents aren't gonna invade my privacy. But...

            I kinda love how different writing systems look, so guess what? I kept doing the same thing, simply because I love it and I think they look beautiful. Maybe I am going to forget everything when I am 60? Well, maybe, but if I'm alive, AI will probably be able to decipher everything ( ꈍ◡ꈍ)

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

Here it is! Using the Korean alphabet again, but now with cool collages! (๑ > ᴗ < ๑)

Here I went back to using my modified Hiragana. It is all mixed: Sometimes I use transliterated words from other languages, conjunctions from Chinese or Japanese, sometimes conjugation and structure from other languages...Although it looks like normal Japanese:)Here it is! Using the Korean alphabet again, but now with cool collages! (๑ > ᴗ < ๑)

I don't know why but I love this one. Maybe because of the organization, or maybe because I drew my college crush on the right page... You have to admit that he looks cute

Here I was trying to explore cursive writing when writing Hanzi, but heavens, that's difficult...And there's a drawing my friend made! Basically she tried to draw my type.

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

             And that's pretty much it! I keep journaling, writing about how I feel, to-do lists, what happened in my week, goals, venting... If there's anything you liked, or if you have a question, make sure to leave a comment! Thank you so much for reading till here!!! xoxo

My story with the Piano!

♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ.

     As I said in the Welcome post, I am a pianist. This is the maximum I can share about my public life, I fear...(◞ ‸ ◟ㆀ)

            I started learning piano all of a sudden. First I was in a church choir when I was 11, and then I started learning keyboard. But I only started to study serious piano (not keyboard and with a serious professor) when I was 14, since I got a scholarship in a conservatory. One year later, when I was 15 I got accepted in an extension course in a public university (they are known as "Federal Universities" in Brazil). Well, I did a pause from 2021 to 2022 because of mental health issues, but at the end of 2022 I went back to practicing and I managed to learn more. In 2024 I got a scholarship in the US and now I am here (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)

                        The composer I play the most is Chopin. I played 3 ballades, around 8 Etudes, many waltzes and some preludes. Then the list follows with Liszt, Beethoven and finally Mozart.

        ♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ.

My favorite composers are...

            I had a Chopin, Beethoven and Liszt phase while I was 15 or so, then I had my Rachmaninov phase at 17... And with time I started to change my taste in music. Now, my favorite composers are Scriabin, Ravel, Bach and Prokofiev! I am currently learning Ravel's Gaspard de La Nuit and Prokofiev's Concerto no. 3 (⁠ ⁠/⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠)⁠/⁠♪⁠♪  and if it's about composers I like to play, I would say Chopin and Liszt definitely! They compose things that sound hard but are actually well written for our hand and the keyboard; they write very pianistically. 

        ♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ.

My least favorite composers are...

Well, it depends on what we mean here. If we are talking about composers I don't like to listen, I would say Schönberg and Xenakis (there's probably a lot more...but these two are the most famous ones among pianists). If it is about composers I don't like to play, there are many: Beethoven (I don't think his pieces are very pianistic, like Chopin. He focuses more on the sound then tactility or comfort), Brahms (same reason) and Scriabin (he is one of my favorite composers!! But also thinks more of the sound and I don't think it fits well in my hands).

        ♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ.

Fun facts about me and Music!

I have about 6 solo compositions, although only one is posted publicly. My style was inspired by Yann Tiersen first ( when I was about 13-14), then Chopin/Liszt ( when I was 15-16 - obviously a trash cheap version lol, but you would definitely notice the influence), and then Ravel/Messiaen/Bartok/Scriabin (now).  

I have perfect pitch! It helps me memorize music and compose. But the maximum number of notes together I can identify is 9 notes; If there's more, mainly doubled notes (in other octaves), I can't identify them.

The first "classical" piece I learned was the Six Ecossaise, by Beethoven (I played other pieces before, but they were basically movie soundtracks and not concert repertoire).

4. Besides piano, I played Flute and Violin. The biggest piece I learned was the Allemande from the Flute Partita 1, by Bach. I did not study a lot of violin, but I performed a small piece called Gaelic Castle with other students!

 Thank you so much for reading until here <3 I will maybe make more posts recommending pieces and/or composers! xoxo

My old journals!

 Hello, reader! Nice to see you here! ( ´ ▽ ` )

As I told in my Welcome post, one of the things I am most passionate about is languages. Since I was a kid, I liked to study many different writing systems. I learned the japanese hiragana when I was about 12, and when I was 13 I started to actually journal in different language systems. The first system I've ever used in journalling was the Cyrillic alphabet (used in many slavic countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria...)

            I remember that I had a little notebook with an ugly ass cover, so I did the cover myself. It was yellow with some "fake stickers" (I would draw stuff - didn't have a printer at that time -  and put a transparent tape on top of it, and then cut it with scissors in the format of the drawing, making a little "border"); Something like this:

I remember I wrote on the cover:

 "Диярё; Нао абра, иджиота!"

 which was basically "Diário: não abra, idiota!" (Do not open, idiot!) transliterated in Portuguese, my native language. There were many things I would do in this journal...

Use it as a dream diary sometimes - Yes! This journal is from 2018 but I already adventured myself in lucid dreaming, before my oneiric phase in 2021.

Code in HTML and CSS - I promise I will talk about that phase in another post! But I was obsessed with coding when I was 13-14 (basic, like HTML/CSS/Java)

Draw (mainly characters in Gravity Falls/We Bare Bears style - I was OBSESSED with these cartoons)

Write some random shit in Korean - during this phase I wanted to learn Korean because I was into GOT7 and BTS - sometimes in the super basic language (stuff like "세상에, 그는 너무 귀여워~~" (omg he's so cute), "넌 할 수 있어!" (you can do it!) or "나 오늘 슬퍼" (I'm sad today). But sometimes it was just transliterated Portuguese with the Hangeul alphabet, since my level was, like, beginner...

Rant about how I hated my parents (canon teenager experience) and, the most expected:

Ramble about my crushes. And by the way, I'm thinking on writing a post on that...

            These journals were a bit more basic, with text entries and sometimes a picture/drawing or a basic paper collage. I remember I had huge inspiration by Peachy Min, who had a channel on YouTube. She used to post "journal with me"videos and I loved watching them.

.𖥔 ݁ ˖   ✦    ‧₊˚ ⋅ 

My journals were basically like this. but in the Russian/Greek  writing systems. Unfortunately  I'm not in my home country so I don't have  the journals with me...( pictures by @peachymin on YouTube) ⊱  ۫ ׅ ✧

A time later, in 2020, I began to make another journal, but in normal English. This one was way more organized, with mood boards, to-do lists, calendars... And I started to be a little bolder on decorations lol I would also stick flowers, leaves, do better collages, even with fabric... And At some point, I started to first use hiragana in a journal. Since I did not know japanese (but I was starting to study N5) I was just transliterating, so it was not actually japanese. It was inspired by some of the journals I found on Pinterest. 

.𖥔 ݁ ˖   ✦    ‧₊˚ ⋅ 

This is pretty much the inspiration I had for the 2020-21  journal. it was like this but using hiragana. picture by @lowkeystudies on nstagram ⊱  ۫ ׅ ✧

example of text using only hiragana (the script  I started to use in this diary after a while). ⊱  ۫ ׅ ✧

Fun facts about this period!

⊱  ۫ ׅ ✧

 I was obsessed with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (and of you still believe in that fake "predator" thing, please re-do your research...). You probably know that viral song, "Pon pon pon", but I never really liked it. I was more into Ninjari ban ban", "Kira Kira killer" or "CANDY CANDY"

I was producing Lo-fi. Yes, I went through the Lo-fi phase (Although I just began publishing stuff in 2021, because a friend told me to do so). They are still available at SoundCloud (link to my profile here). My most popular (30 plays lol) tracks are Daydream (guess what? I was thinking of a guy I liked),  Coffee (I was in my grandma's place, drinking coffee, duh, and I thought it would be aesthetic to produce Lo-fi in this occasion) and Entering the Real World (I was trying to be positive about being awake and not living in my dreams).

During these times I was watching BNHA. Oh, that phase... And I remember I would write pages about how I love Bakugou and Kirishima. I was 14 so please be understanding 人(_ _*)

I dreamed about living in a beach cabin. I don't know why but I was genuinely interested in living by a beach(?)

Yume Nikki: The dream diary

   Hello again!

         I didn't have any better idea so I thought of maybe starting my first official post talking about games! I had many things in mind so I had to choose one (´ ∀ ` *) I am not exactly a gamer, but there are some games that I really really enjoy, and some that marked me a lot. I am going to write maybe a petite review.

Yume Nikki (ゆめにっき/夢日記)

Fandom Website!

Okay, I couldn't hold myself so this had to be the first one. It is my favorite game. Like, ever (≧◡≦) ♡

In this game, you are a girl called Madotsuki. Your mission is...just exploring. Yeah, simple as it is. There is not really much to do besides exploring the dream worlds. This game is more like an experience rather than a real Game as we know.

⊱  ۫ ׅ ✧

 Madotsuki's name (窓付き) translates to "windowed". It's not a common Japanese name, but it's likely a metaphor for her character: a "window" into the dream world, according to the Yume Nikki Wiki. The name also relates to the concept of a "windower," someone who spends a lot of time looking out the window, which fits her reclusive nature. 

⊱  ۫ ׅ ✧                    

I met this game during my worst phase, in 2020. Basically I was watching one of these "Unsettling images with weird music" videos ( idk for sure how they're called but it's something like that ┐('～`;)┌ ), and boom, there was Kikiyama (the creator of the game and its soundtrack). And I was already in my dreamcore phase, so it was the perfect moment to discover the game. Because of that game I would write dream diaries, and I began to have lucid dreams very often. Since my mental health was in a weird situation, I wanted to sleep all the time, and I would also adventure myself in my dreams. I feel kinda comfortable remembering how it was in spite of the downsides.

You have probably heard the soundtrack already, mainly if you are part of the dreamcore online community. I am going to put some of my favorites listed here :} I absolutely love how Kikiyama could produce something so simple (there are like no cadences and not even chord progressions sometimes) yet so...characteristic?

Yume 2kki: An amazing fangame!

            Yume 2kki (ゆめ2っき - it's a pun because the number 2, 二, is read as "ni" as well) is a fangame of Yume Nikki, as you could definitely tell. I also LOVE the soundtrack of this one, it is so cute! I can't just put everything I like, so I really recommend you a video of "relaxing Yume Nikki/Yume 2kki soundtrack", because I think the vibe is just marvelous. I am going to put a last video here so you can listen to it!  If you are studying, drinking coffee in the rain, reading or ready to sleep, give it a try :)  There are many others, so I really recommend you searching for it - or playing the game yourself (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

            I hope you enjoyed this post! I could yap about Yume Nikki for hours lol if you are part of the fandom please post a comment! Xoxo
