You don’t know these characters, but in time you will. These bisexual disasters are characters in a new comic project I’m working on, in the classic twelfth night meme pose (below). Coming to Webtoon later this year…

Yukue Shirezu Tsurezure Lyrics: Shinjuku Cinema Collection feat. Mashiro Megumi (新宿シネマコネクション)

English translation and romanization below the cut. Thank you to my lovely papermaiden for the coffee! <3

ENGLISH

Looks like I already pretty much couldn’t care less Corrupt slogans, what meaningless exclusives They’re fighting, f-fighting Wi-Fi’s unnecessary. I act silly and coy, violence, making connections The doting wife’s heirloom is her horsetail-green cardigan, she’s giddy, so giddy

Don’t mix them together. It’s just A and B

I miss you and that feeling’s only gotten stronger 1 more section ‘til we’re at the love hotel, I say dramatically Looks like I already pretty much couldn’t care less. Therefore...

My fountain pen makes me a novelist Someone such as myself? Why, I’m a cat too-- meooow I’m born, nice to meet you, all this gibberish is me going step by step However things end up turning out, it’s the weekend now Take me to Treasure Land I make a hole and hide you in it

Synapse Paaaark SignaLoooop

A reuniting slow run: chapter 1 to rushed world Seems like most of the magic’s gone from the cloudy sky, huh? Oh my, oh my

Explosive photosynthesis’s the least common denominator? Ugh, no I knew you used to be a dog person but we’re ±0 now, going step by step I dashed through being 14 I cried about it one more time. Why? I don’t know I made myself a hole and jumped headfirst into it

Schubert, Bach, a crazy dance, a sensation calling for increased staff My mentors lend a hand but it’s showtime now My body changes key, I do a kitty punch However things end up turning out, we’re at the final stage now Take me to Treasure Land I make a hole, then dive into you

Section 2 of “missing you” mode How many more times after this? I already wanna die? It felt so good, and we felt so high, that we ran away Using the forefront as a see-saw, Shinjuku, Shibuya, step by step However things end up turning out, it’s showtime now. Bye Mom

         ❝  Tell me about your brother.  ❞  The missing one, the lost one –––– the one that they’ve all banded together to find. He’d done so at the demand of coin ( he has to make a living somehow ), but with the passing of time comes personal investment. As hesitant as he is to surrender to that feeling, he’s never been good at subduing the piqued interest that comes with it — ofttimes much to his own detriment. If he’s to be REBUKED for showing interest, though, he’d just as easily chalk it up to all knowledge benefiting the cause. HER CAUSE, if not theirs.  

         ❝  What’s he like?  ❞  Is, not was. He’s still alive, or should be, if only all their collective hoping would automatically amount to that. Maybe it’ll turn out to be wishful thinking come the future, but for now, he’s content to stick to that age old tactic if only to be able to sleep well at night.     ( // @brightdark )

jesse pulled on to the gas station forecourt ,     using the heel of his hand to spin the wheel towards the gas pumps .

he scooted around to the pump ,     eyes darting back and forth like an animal caught in a trap ,     for jesse the paranoia never left him .     it hung over his shoulder twenty - four hours a day ,     whispering in his ear like the ugly conscience you wish you never had .     a quivering hand hovered over one of the pumps ,     hesitated and returned to the pocket of his pants .      again ,     wide eyes searched the environment retaining as many details as one could with a quick scan .     the station was small and lacking in tlc ,    the building made from a thick wood that gave way in dark patches ,     around those darkened orifices the wood had been frayed and dirtied as though a community of termites had made their homes and ate like kings ever since .

again ,     he reached for the pump ,     this time successfully grasping the handle and forcing the nozzle into the tank of his rusted car .     whilst filling the tank with overpriced fuel he noticed a female inside the store ,     he hadn’t seen her earlier ,     he could barely see her now ,     her figure merely a silhouette through the grimy display window .

Yukue Shirezu Tsurezure Lyrics: Paradise Lost

English translation and romanization below the cut. Thank you to my dearest papermaiden for the coffee! :)

ENGLISH

I’m born, fall, tremble, then I start walking on a white night It’s too late. I hide with vicious fangs I’ve got regrets upon regrets The night will someday end, and yet I hang my head

I smash it all up, then for the first time ever too late   I realize what’s important to me. “I don’t wanna lose this” The light vanished while I held your letter in my hand

I beg for forgiveness from my mirror, not the world The thing I’m crying and screaming like a fallen dream is my wish

Perpetually dizzy, on the verge of rotting I understand, I’ll never forget the profound encounter we had I was trapped in deep darkness, forgetting important things. But I will never forget it.

I’ve started to forget what it means to live, and I’ve been hiding the weak parts of myself I’m questioning myself for not being able to cry about it, and numb from the suffering.

It’s myself I can’t forgive, not the world Feelings I can’t distract myself from, a faint hope pulling me along I won’t forget what it means to live. I won’t make you sad ever again.

I beg for forgiveness from you, not the world The thing I’m crying and screaming is my wish, and I will until it someday reaches you I won’t forget what it means to live. I won’t forget to live I’ll scream it to you, until it reaches you again Do you mind if I do it silently?

Look at me and laugh as I lose sight of things, and suffer. If you smiled, I’d be able to stand up again. Forever.
