The Vocaloid song ECHO is also based on Crusher's (the producer) experiences with DID; this was confirmed in an interview with Vite Ramen! (should be easy to find on YouTube through searching 'crusher vite ramen', it's the "Origin of ECHO" video)
Thanks! Its been added to the plural creator section.
Also its super cool this song got confirmed plural all these years later.
Just a notice, I'm comfortable with playing with Saki Konishi's 'status' as dead or alive.
On my old blog, I did timeline disruptions, parallel universes, falling through realities and supernatural related phenomenon.
So if having Saki simply walking around Inaba doesn't quite work with your muse/how you write and have set things up, I can play in the space and redefine her mortality.
I'm all about writing a good story, so I try not to keep my blogs or verses too rigid.
Little headcanon tidbits I was thinking about while at work:
I don't know who all holds stock in Western Zodiac= personality, for me personally I find it fun when it comes to rooting out strengths/weaknesses in various characters.
For Haru, being a Sagittarius her good traits include being generous and once she breaks out of her sheltered upbringing: independent and risk-taking. A love of learning, demonstrated in how she wants to apprentice under Sojiro Sakura in order to learn first hand on how to run a business.
In contrast, her flaws include being reckless, especially with how she fights always swinging her body 'with' the weigh with her axe, making herself prone to stumbling or overextending her shoulders and arms. She has to learn to pull back, think carefully about her position, the swing of her axe and make sure everyone else is out of the way to reduce incidents of getting others caught up by the blade.
She's restless. Always in a hurry. Feels like she's wasting time/no where near where she wants to be.
Again, this couples with her upbringing, her parents could afford to simply give her things/arrange for events to happen for her. Haru having to do things on her own now, frustrates her since she does want to get away from money 'solving' her problems or having other people do things for her, but it takes time. Practice and she has to give herself time to let talents cultivate.
Although it's 'typically' accepted lore that Persona users 'lose' the ability or it's interfered with in someway after the main games (yes, Arena, the PQ spin offs/crossovers exist so those are sub-set/rule doesn't apply here), Post-Game, I like the idea of Haru taking up hunting Shadows still.
One of the things I want to explore is Haru burying her residual guilt, grief and the fear of failure in the real world, underneath the guise of still being a 'heroic thief'.
She couldn't save her father, but maybe if she kills/destroys this Shadow or that being, push on a little further, maybe it'd hurt less. Or at least the hurt would mean something.
Her self-destructive habits wrapped up in the noble desire to be useful still, is something I love writing and look forward to exploring.

This is OOC so feel free to ignore it, but what do you think is that percentage of people who ask you questions looking for real world advice?? You often answer questions about grass pokemon care using advice that can be applied to their real world counterparts, even if they are embellished somewhat. I ask this mainly because of the Sylveon ask you got a little bit ago because it sounded like they were asking for real life advice disguised as a pokemon ask.
I...did not consider this.
Honestly I go into work mode for the asks and forget the real world exists, I read them and take them at face value LIKE A FOOL.
I suppose the information I give is applicable in some circumstances sure, so maybe like 20%? 15? Heck I don’t know, it hadn’t even crossed my mind. I just hope I put out enough good vibes that nothing I write comes off as unkind or dangerous should someone try it?! Nervous now, please no one do anything dumb because you read it on a Pokemon blog haha!
hello all.
as you may have noticed, I haven’t been around for uh...almost five months now. I’m very sorry for up and abandoning you all like that. it wasn’t entirely intentional.
around about July my mental health took a pretty sharp and sudden downturn. I don’t know that happened when it did, there was no particular catalyst as far as I could tell except that maybe the stress of everything going on just built up too much or something. my anxiety just skyrocketed out of the blue and set off an obsessive thought spiral of the sort I haven’t had for years. I called my doctor, switched up my medication some, and figured I would just take a break from tumblr for a few days or so since being on it all the time was just making the anxiety worse. I figured I’d be back on and back writing soon, I just needed a little time to feel better.
things...did not get better. a little time turned into a lot of time and then suddenly a few months had passed and I was still stuck in the anxiety pit and hadn’t written anything or really done much of anything in all that time. and the more I became aware of how much time had passed since I’d worked on anything, the more daunting the prospect of getting back to it became, and it was already starting from a pretty high base level of daunting.
eventually, when I realized that medication alone probably wasn’t going to pull me out of this one, I started seeing a therapist. things are still not exactly ideal, but I think they are slowly improving. I’m hoping I will be able to get back to writing recaps soon. (the This Side of Paradise recap was actually very close to done when all this happened, so hopefully I can at least finish that one before too long.)
I’ve put off making this post for a while because I wasn’t really sure what to say after being away for so long. but I finally decided to do it today.
I’ve been scared every day for months, but today is definitely the scariest one. I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen tonight and in the following days. about the only thing I’m sure of right now is that it’s gonna be a real mess here for a while before things shake out some way or another. I can’t come up with anything pithy and reassuring to say even to myself right now.
but if you need to hear this tonight: hang in there. no matter how bad it looks, hang in there. if you think you can’t make it through the whole week, just make it through tonight. if you can’t make it through the whole night, make it one more hour.
here is what I know about anxiety: sometimes you have to make a seat for it next to you. make it a cup of tea. pat it on the back. it’s probably not about to go anywhere tonight, and spending energy on trying to banish it will only make you feel worse.
hug someone. if you don’t have someone, hug something. a pet, a stuffed animal if you have one, a pillow if nothing else. add some comforting stimulus to the environment you’re in--light a candle with a nice smell, wrap yourself in a fuzzy blanket, put some soothing music or white noise on. if you start feeling like you’re disassociating or your thoughts are out of control, look around you and list three things you can see, three things you can hear, and so on, and repeat for as long as you need to. putting an ice cube in your mouth or eating a piece of dark chocolate or hard candy can help too.
take deep breaths.
watch the news if you need to, check out with some funny videos or a comfort show or video games if you’d rather. watching the results won’t change them.
one way or another, we will see the other side eventually.

hey all, apologies for the long absence. I didn’t mean to be gone so wrong, but I had a bit of a bad mental health episode and couldn’t really write for a while. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get back to posting regularly, but hopefully it will be soon. in the meantime, stay safe and have as good a last-month-of-2020 as you can.
I’ve dusted off the blog a bit--new theme, avatar, bio, etc, and there’s now an index page for the published stories so you don’t have to slog through tumblr’s erratic tag system to find something. on that note I probably do need to attend to the tags at some point cause they’re a mess and not very helpful really, but I haven’t gotten to that yet.
I’ve taken down some older posts as well as a few of the stories I did for Fictober a while ago. a lot of it was just old art posts from when I first made this blog and was using it as both an art and writing blog for a while, and I’ve since decided I really just want to use this space for writing only. as for the stories--they weren’t bad, I don’t dislike them or anything, but I used that Fictober to explore a number of different projects I had in my head, and while it was good writing exercise I’ve since realized that the time hasn’t come for a lot of those projects and having content up for them right now would just be confusing to read now and potentially muddle things down the road if I do want to pursue those projects later.
so, I am sorry about that, if you liked any of those stories particularly, but I thought about it for a long time and it felt like the right choice going forward. I haven’t actually deleted anything, I still have all those stories safe and sound, so they may be revisited someday.
I don’t entirely know what’s going to happen here going forward. everything is very uncertain right now, so I’m just trying to write when I can. I have enjoyed doing the Monday thing. that seems to have gone alright so far. I am going to finish the somewhere else? story but after that I think the Monday thing will probably mostly stick to nonfiction and just sort of weekly talking about life. not that I think my life is especially interesting, but y’know, that’s what makes it a good writing exercise, trying to turn nothing in particular into something.
anyway, as always, thanks for reading. I wish you well. here’s a cat. she also wishes you well.
