Seeing Marmalade struggle is rough, she and all of Melody Parade are a real inspiration to me. But also really appreciated from her showing her raw feelings.
Exciting news: I joined an idol group!!! :mexcitedmiku: :mexcitedmiku: :mexcitedmiku: I'm now the Yohane / Hanayo / Ai / Mei / Megumi of Sora Idols!!! :mexcitedmiku: :mexcitedmiku: :mexcitedmiku:
A year ago, I didn't think I'd actually be doing idol dances myself, and I never imagined I'd ever share the stage with so many of the talented people in the Northeast idol community. But here we are. :nnezukolove56:
This was me today. I posted something about idols and cheki and got a response from someone else they were confused. So I broke it down. And they said they were still confused. I asked what confused them and they said everything. Then someone else chimed and and told the other person to look up what an idol was on the internet.
Ops...
Yeah, you don't know what an idol is, I'm going to be spouting pure gibberish. #Idol#memes
Metam0re is looking for vendors/artists for Summer Id0l Jam 2024, to be held on July 27th in Framingham, MA. It's a free entry single day idol-themed con-type event, mainly featuring idol showcases (plural!!! :mexcitedmiku: ), singing, and a cosplay contest. Last year's was easily one of the most fun events of the year. They're looking to grow it out a lot this year, in one way by having a market area for vendors. (Because we clearly need another way to spend money on merch. The Miku pin I bought at the artist alley last weekend was a need, it was Miku day! :leafeonmoney: ) Figure I should post about it here since word tends to spread mainly on instagram, but there are a decent number of fanartists and folks in the Northeast US/Boston-area specifically on Fedi!

Quote: I looked at the cigarette in my hand, thought, “What the hell?” and took a puff; “Ugh, unflavored.” But I’d finally gotten a kiss from my konbini girl, a secondary kiss, but a kiss.

When you care even when the other doesn't.
Quote: Over her protests, I got her into bed. She wasn’t making much sense. Something about shadows and wanting to leave. I didn’t know where she thought she would go. Out into the night, I suppose, looking for Mikawa. Shiomi calmed down after I gave her another smoke and sat by her bedside.
Like before, she dozed off, leaving her smoke unfinished. I took what was left from her limp fingers and put it out in the ashtray on the nightstand. No secondary kiss this time.

I grabbed Shiomi’s arm, and she looked briefly at me with glassy eyes. Her unbrushed light blue hair fell heedlessly across her pale face, and her dress looked like she had slept in it. But that wasn’t what caused me to reach out and grab her arm. It was the woman ten meters ahead. Long black hair, flying in a wind no one but she could feel, framed a blackened and bloated face. It was the face of a corpse returned from the grave.

There were no lights on the bridge and the fog off the river was sending tendrils over the railing. All I had to do was cross the bridge and walk two blocks past the roads leading to Enpukuji. Mikawa wouldn’t bother me again, would she? That had been a warning.
These thoughts gave me no comfort. The distance seemed huge in the dark, and I didn’t place much trust in the forbearance of an apparition. I had her girlfriend at my house, after all. Taking a deep breath, I stepped onto the bridge and hurried forward.

Tomo looked peeved when I told him I had given Shiomi permission to stay with us. He squinted more than usual and cocked his head to the side as he replied, “It’s your house. But you really do have bad taste in women.”
“Just as bad with guys.” I retorted.
“If you’re dissatisfied, I can move out.”
I had been living with Tomo long enough to tell from his tone that he was only half joking. I couldn’t blame him. Shiomi looked like a load of trouble. Even I knew this wasn’t the brightest decision I had ever made.

Sometimes it's small things...
“Thank you;" Shiomi said. "it has been a long time since anyone bought me a meal and I had a pleasant time.” She was smiling, looking happier than I had seen her for a long time. The look transcended cute. She was stunning.
“You welcome,” I said, a little flustered. It seemed such a small thing and raised a new question: Had my buying her ramen been that special?

Any port in a storm
“Now, what am I going to do?” I thought.
I glanced around and saw that the other woman, or should I say ghost, was gone. So I bent down to see if I could rouse my charge. Her eyes fluttered. The feral gleam was gone, replaced by sadness. She muttered, “I need a drink.”
I didn’t think so. I could smell the sour odor of alcohol on her breath already, but anything to get her out of there before Mikawa reappeared. “Sure,” I said. “I have some beer at my place.”

Everyone is angry
“Don’t swear at me!” The situation was wearing on my nerves, or I might have let it pass, but the swearing grated. It clashed with the image of Shiomi I kept trying to build in my mind. I was tired, my cigarette tasted foul, and I had just risked my life for the third time. And for what, an ungrateful woman who didn’t have the sense to see her lover was a rotting corpse!
“I’ll swear if I want to, White Knight-sama. I’d be with my girlfriend right now, instead of wandering around these desolate hills, if it wasn’t for you. You’re as bad as Mika, riding in on your fucking white horse and fucking my life up! I hate you! Damn it, I hate you!”
