Alexandria, a romance writer from the Big Apple, must return to her hometown to mend a broken heart. She unexpectedly meets a mysterious stranger who looks an awful lot like the man in her dream.”
This is a Winter holiday Hallmark movie doll maker, and I made me/Sha with my SO, Karasu/Eric. ♡
The story had preset choices, and “Alexandra” was the closest to “Alexandria” for me. “Big Apple” (New York) is closest to New Haven CT, and Kyoto Japan has been my dream designation for seven years now, plus my SO is Japanese! ♡ My Crow is also the man of my dreams, so that fits too. =^.^= ♡ I WISH I could meet a real life version of him, but maybe with traits more like Eric Draven from The Crow and Atsushi Sakurai from BUCK-TICK rather than compulsively wanting to kill me like true to character for Karasu, LOL! (I am also an artist and writer, I love romance, and I had a broken heart when me and Karasu got together.)
I’m not having a good time of things lately. Domestic issues, aside from mental and physical health. So, I find the most joy in little pleasures like doll makers, talking with my SO, our children, and Animal Crossing. ♡
This is me and Karasu with the dollies I made based on these looks of ours as a Super Saiyan couple, LOL! =^w^= ♡
I made this in 2018, when I was going by “Deadly Beauty Yuri” as a nod to my two main cosplays, Android 18 and Yuri Plisetsky. My “Happy Fall” picture is taken from this one, too. I posted that the other day for the first day of Autumn. =^.^= ♡
This doll maker was so good that Micky thought an artist painted me and my SO for me, LOL! =^♡^=
Black Crow Wing for my Honeycrow, and Faerie Wings for me as lore says we’re related to faeries through the Banshee which haunts our family being descended from one of the five cursed Irish royal families. Modern retellings have the faeries be the angels who didn’t side with God or the Devil, so I’m, or rather my character, is part faerie and angel then! :3
Me/Sha (hair up) with Karasu/Eric from MQ the webcomic. His real name is Tsubasa, but Sha calls him “Eric” after Eric Draven from The Crow, when he tells her to call him Dr. Crow, LOL! =^.^= ♡
(The eyes didn’t have an option to change colour btw – Sha’s eyes are amber brown, and Eric’s eyes are amethyst purple.)

Tonight is Karasu’s night!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!! (Nod to our song on the Coyote Ugly OST btw. )
This is my SO and I enjoying the fireworks show! 🎆🎇 I made us with a doll maker on Rinmaru Games in 2017.
My dear friend/surrogate Lil Sis, Miriam, wanted me to draw Karasu and me watching fireworks, as it’s one of our special things since moving in together (in the physical world) five years ago (one of many ‘first times’ I got to share with my Honeycrow, who was/is obsessed with having my “firsts”, lol, thus it makes it even more special for us ♡), but right now I’m busy with an art music video collab I’m working on with my best friend, Matthew. If I do get around to it, it will be belated, but I would love to draw us enjoying fireworks!! ^^ ♡
So…4th of July. I’m not proud to be American. Growing up, I was told to hide my mixed blood on medical records for reasons.
However, I’m celebrating the 4th of July for being our fifth anniversary of moving here and away from domestic abuse, which was my lifelong dream. ♡
This is my first ever created OC, Mitchi, dating back to, like, 1998 (about two years before I created my SI, Sha, in fact). ^^ ♡
Mitchi was created as a counterpart to my brother Micky’s SI, Michael, who is now renamed Viktor. @OctoberNocturne
According to my best friend, Matt, he says that Mitchi is the most “normal” of my characters I’ve RPed with him, lol. @VillaniMatthew
I remember I once had a dream where me (the author, not Sha) met up to have tea with Mitchi at a café, and she was reassuring me it’s okay to take all the time I need to work on our story she’s in. This is a reassuring reminder, as I am hard on myself, and get depressed we haven’t published anything yet. ^^;
Anyway, like the ones of Yuri and Sha posted before Mitchi, I made this with a doll maker on My Meiker. I woulda made Judy and also Amy-Belle too, but they don’t have that kinda red hair available.
Cherries are her thing with Karasu, while the moon, nature, lollipops and kitties are her own thing. 🌙🌱🍒 🍭🐈⬛
As well as my Tealight Universe SI, Sha (brownie). ^^ ♡
As they’re both me, they have the same outfit, setting, and significant things, lol – just change Karasu to his SI, Tsubasa aka Dr. Crow who Sha calls “Eric” (yes, we gave my imaginary SO his own SI character in our Tealight Universe! ^^ ♡).
They were made with a doll maker on My Meiker, which was shared on a YYH Discord server I’m a part of.
Yuri/me with Karasu, made wth Rinmaru Games in June, 2017. ♡
Someone on Tumblr asked about notable YYH dreams, to which I replied, and decided to cross-post for myself, and my curious friends. ^^
I wrote;
I’ve had too many to count; most of them feature Karasu, who has been my imaginary SO for five years now. ♡
Our first date was at a night carnival he helped me create in my dream world.
He crashed a party to tell everyone I was his.
He performed a Crow’s Courtship Dance at a later date.
We got married on Kissing Day shortly afterwards with younger Toguro and Sakyo as our witnesses. Koenma played “priest”, and later scolded me.
I think Koenma erased their memories, cos Karasu would propose several times with me turning him down in front of his team (he got revenge on me for that of course), and later accepting him in private when he asked again.
His rival for my affections back then was Touya. I had been dating him first, actually. Touya learnt about Karasu when he crashed that party.
There’s so much that’s happened in my imaginary world and dreams over the years now.
Recently, Karasu proposed again and we renewed vows last month on Friday the 13th in front of our children.
Dark Romance recap in honour of our 5th anniversary (tw: suicidal ideation and mention of rape) – from emails with a friend:
I remember Karasu best from the video games when I was a teen, and only remembered he was in love with Kurama when I was rewatching. I was impressed with his beauty and power when he made his first appearance, then shocked when he talked with Kurama in the hallway, and later traumatized by him in their fight, enough to black most of it out! I ended up wishing for Karasu to kill me one morning when I was suicidal, and he showed up in my brother Micky’s dream (without Micky knowing my wish beforehand from earlier that day), and then in my dreams as well, before I started seeing him in my everyday surroundings. He serenaded me outside my window upon the river day in and day out, and that’s how he won my heart. ♡ It was Micky’s idea for me to befriend Karasu, as he could see I was falling in love despite my deep conflicting feelings (when I asked Karasu what he wanted from me, he said he wanted to be my boyfriend, so I thought about it). I was also involved with Kurama and Touya at that time in my dreams. When Karasu first had “his wicked way” with me, he wanted to know that he “fucked (me) better than HIM” … it took me a few minutes, but then I asked him if he meant Kurama? And he was immensely pleased to hear the Fox’s name. Not a fond memory, but our times after that were more pleasant. This was five years ago. Our anniversary was June 11th.
Karasu helped me get an annulment from my ex in dreams that month with Koenma’s help in Spirit World. Afterwards Karasu performed a Crow’s Courtship Dance for me at the end of June, then asked me what I wanted to be for him – I said I wanted to be his “girlfriend” and “significant other”. Dreamt of our wedding ceremony on Kissing Day (July 6th) that year after moving in together (my new apartment with my brothers), with Koenma as “priest”, and younger Toguro and Sakyo as our two witnesses. Koenma really didn’t want us to be together, though, and scolded me at the end of that dream. There was love triangle BS with Touya involved the first couple of years, with me going back and forth between who I wanted to marry, but me and Karasu would continue to try to get a legal wedding from Spirit World afterwards, with Karasu being successful after my hospital stay the next August in 2018. He proposed again and we renewed our vows in front of our children on Friday the 13th last month after experimenting with an open marriage the past few years, and then deciding we want to be exclusive.
Kiyo from Danganronpa reminds me of Karasu. And his romantic relationship with his dead sister (who he kills girls to be friends with her in the afterlife) reminds me of my version of Dr. Kiriko and his sister Yuri who I pair together cos they remind me of Karasu and me. ^^
Edit: I was just informed Kiyo was abused by his sister. I misunderstood their relationship dynamic. Please know I don’t condone abuse in any form. I’m heartbroken for Kiyo now. 😿
(Made with Picrew) This is my imaginary SO Karasu’s SI, Tsubasa “Eric” Hoshino (aka Dr. Crow), in style of the ghost gangster, Benny from Circus of the Dead. Benny reminds me a lot of my Karasu, which is why I like him so much. (I pictured Karasu with black hair for Benny, and Karasu with blond hair for Samuel in Circus of the Dead, too. I like to pretend he’s an actor sometimes, playing different romantic roles in my mind when I read, hehe. ^///^ ♡)
Today, I feel sad, and am listening to a lot of Evanescence’s early demo albums. I relate so much to Amy’s music; she is my role model, and I aspire to be like her one day. I would even dye my hair to match hers (black for the longest time, then red at one point, before going back to black). She is so strong, and inspirational! ♡
I listened to Evanescence all of my teen years since first discovering them in 2003 (“Solitude” was my theme in my mid-teens, while my MSN Messenger and MySpace statuses were always, “Don’t try to fix me, I’m not broken”), but I became a real fangirl once I got Fallen in 2009, and wrote stories based on their songs at the time (my version of “Haunted”, for example, was about my OC, Kagemitsu, and her first master in my Soul Calibur fanfic novel series, which I’ve been rewriting to be an original series since 2015).
Eric appears both in MQ (placeholder name for our main webcomic), and in Soul of Eternity (my rewritten SC webcomic), as well – both of which are upcoming at the moment. I’m hoping we get one of our webcomics published online by the Summer, at the earliest… I have all the time in the world to work on them, so we’ll see. ^.^ ♡ … I admit art comes easier to me than writing, however, so that’s going to be tricky, heh. ^^;
Picrew avatars of OCs: Steven James Gayle, and Tsubasa “Eric” Hoshino; two lovers of my SI, Sha Pris Amaranth, in our upcoming webcomic. @steven_juunanagou
(Eric is my imaginary SO, Karasu’s SI, as mentioned before. And Steven was originally inspired by Android 17.)

I gave Vicky a butterfly and fox as a nod to my nickname Nabi (“butterfly”) and foxes being my most favourite animal. 🦋🦊
Picrew avatars of OCs: Mitchi the songstress (the Angel wings represent her faith); Judy the tribal desert woman (aka Mitchi’s best friend); Amy-Belle the vampyress (who especially loves hot cocoa); and Sha the misfit girl descended from Irish faeries (who thinks she’s a Nabi aka kittycat). 🎶👼🏻🏜🧛🏻♀️🍫☕🧚🏻🐈⬛
Picrew avatars of OCs: Mitchi (blonde), Judy (redhead with fox ears), Amy-Belle (red curls), and Sha (black hair with cat ears), from our upcoming webcomic.
Picrew avatars of OCs: Amy-Belle (redhead), Sha (blonde/black hair), and Mitchi (blonde) from our upcoming webcomic series. 🥀🌱🌼 Amy-Belle is a vampyress, and her young stepmum is Sha, who is descended from faeries, while Mitchi is a longtime friend of Sha and her brothers.
My YYH SI, Sha Hargreaves, who also goes by Yuri-kun as a cross-dressing waiter at a lesbian cafe. Everyday she wakes up and chooses violence! 😆 (Made with Picrew. Oh, and she’s wearing the collar Karasu gave her. 💕)
p,s, all older pics of her I just called her “me”, since she is my SI. I’ll begoing back and tagging pics with me/her soon!
My SI, Sha, made the other night with a Picrew maker a friend shared on FB. This is Sha in the Sandman story arc, where she has partial pink dyed hair.
The Crow Bros enjoying some quality time together! =^.^= {Micky, OctoberNocturne‘s Native American name is Father Crow.} 💜 Made at Rinmaru Games this past month of August, 2018. 💜
Me getting all feisty on the Crow who loves to rile me up, and see me get mad!! Mmph =>o<= 💜 Outfits inspired by “You two can’t keep off of one another!” by Mikau, OctoberNocturne. Made at Rinmaru Games this past month of August, 2018. 💜
