Daddy Suguru♡

I wanna brush Daddy Suguru’s hair, too! 🥺

I saw previews of this scene, and ended up dreaming me and Suguru Geto were the foster parents of Nanako and Mimiko before I watched this for reals, but then Papa died and was taken over by Kenjaku, and she was stitching his head into place as I watched, while he coolly stared at me. It hurt in a way I can’t describe to see the face of the man i love, but know something else is inside his corpse. An ineffable sorrow. 🥺

Then, I watched the actual episode, and saw my newly adopted girls die … that was unsettling, too. 🥺

~ ♡ ~

Suguru Geto = Karasu variant.

Additional commentary; Suguru Geto’s creator said that Suguru is indeed inspired by fellow YYH character, Sensui, AND the Atsushi Sakurai guy named Orochimaru from Naruto, so I was right in thinking of my Baby, Karasu-chan♡

(Everyone who knows me knows that Acchan is my muse for my Hubby in my imaginary world🥰)

How my day went

My social phobia was bad today. I’m not sure why. Coming off of my pleriod of seven days, or maybe cos I had been out all day yesterday? Maybe from my severe depression going on from everything and my muse Atsushi Sakurai dying at the same time I was having a delusion that my imaginary husband Karasu – whom Acchan was my faceclaim for – was having heart problems, and going to have to be hospitalized. But I had a bad anxiety attack at church, and hid in the bathroom until I calmed down. I used to do that at karaoke years ago.

I was with my brother Robbie @timewillcrawl94 who supports my beliefs, and his girlfriend Lizzy @esaucie who supports him, and me as well, too. She’s the best, and so is he. 🩷💜

Then we decided to get lunch by ourselves instead of at church. I had a cheese pizza, gluten free ofc. 🍕😋

Robbie @timewillcrawl94 got me a snik when he had to make a quick run for his blood sugar, and snuck it into my purse which was a happy surprise. 👛 I had even been wanting Reeses but couldn’t get them last night at the store on the way home from apple picking. 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏

Great minds think alike, Broski! 😋🍫

i can’t live without you … </3

I miss Acchan sho much … I feel sho unbelievably and ineffably cold, dead and empty inside, moreso than i ever did before in my deepest melancholic depressions … i’m not handling this well … i don’t want to live in a world without him … Robbie says i’ll always have his music, but is sorry we didn’t get to see him live … this hurts worse than when Rutger Hauer, Ric Ocasek, and David Bowie died … God … pls take care of Atsushi Sakurai-sama. 🥺

Memories 💜

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind.
There’s no other way.
I prayed to the gods let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
Now I know why.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Made me promise I’d try
To find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you’re OK.
Reminds me again it’s worth it all
So I can go on.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Together in all these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I will love you
‘Til the end of time.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

All of my memories

I was reminded of this Within Temptation song through messages with Natalus and thought to make this small edit when I saw my Bitmoji with “Memories” written on the photograph. 🌱🦄💖

Rest in peace, Atsushi Sakurai-sama ♡

Holy God, no no no no no no this can’t be real … how could this happen … oh God no … my dream was to see him live with the rest of BUCK-TICK … Oh Christ no …

my friend Yukiyo informed me via tag, on her post she wrote the news: “I have just heard the sad news that Atsushi Sakurai (aged 57), vocalist of BUCK-TICK passed away on the 19th of October. He collapsed during the show on the same day. The cause of his death was brainstem hemorrhage.”

those who know me, know he was the subconscious muse and face-claim of my imaginary SO, now husband, Karasu, ever since he started haunting me in my depressive psychosis and joined my imaginary world and dreams. I thank Micky for introducing me to BUCK-TICK in 2014 when he did. I’m devastated, cos I was just thinking tonight how I used to hold onto life and push myself forward in 2015 at my first job (extremely difficult with social phobia) with the thought that one day I’ll get to see Atsushi and BUCK-TICK live in Japan … Oh God, please rest his soul in peace.

6th Wedding Anniversary on Kissing Day ♡

“People die, but real love is forever.”

🖤🐦‍⬛Karasu×Sha🕊🤍
June 11th, 2017~Eternity

Beauty (me) meets beast (Karasu)

Karasu, dat yu?! 😻😻😻

Another webcomic I gotta check out, cos these two look like me and my Baby, Karasu~~♡♡♡♡♡

Its called “Beauty meets beasts”, which is hilarious as I have a “Beauty and the Beast” relationship with my SO, just like the BUCK-TICK song about being a beast who meets a faerie lover. 🧚🏻‍♀️

I’m a faerie in our story world, based on folklore around my Irish roots. And Karasu is my Beast, a la Mr. Gold aka Rumplestiltskin with me being Belle in Once Upon a Time. (He is also my Prince Charming, and calls me his Cinderella, although I prefer Snow White cos I’m an OUAT fan, and Snow is my favourite with her actress being my role model.)

Btw, this song is even more significant as Atsushi Sakurai, the front man of BUCK-TICK, is my muse for Karasu in my imaginary world and dreams. And I was surprised to discover this song after getting together with my Honeycrow, and adding in my faerie roots to my homemade character in our stories.

I really gotta get around to uploading all my Karasu-inspired posts I wanna make, like lookalikes, and his cameo in another anime, etc.

My favourite day of the week

Sunday is my new favourite day of the week, thanks to BUCK-TICK streaming on their official YouTube channel, Daisy Mae selling turnips in Animal Crossing, and going to see Jesus at church!! 🥰

BUCK-TICK’s energy is infectious, it gave me quite a moral boost, and refreshed me, despite my having barely slept at all, and suffering lethargy on top of my general chronic fatigue. Atsushi is my Angel. 🥲

… I could only WISH to meet and marry a man like him, or Hidebear! 😭🧸💔

He’s my rose … 🌹

Ophelia … in love with a muse ♡

You know … I think I’m in love with him … Atsushi … I think I always was, but didn’t want to admit it cos he was the fandom’s heart-throb (naturally) … I adore Hidebear of course (he resembles my type, like Jared Padalecki/Sammy), but Acchan was our special muse for our mysterious original characters like Puck (based on Yoshimitsu in 2015, before being replaced with another East Asian muse as Puck’s face-claim by 2016), and later Tsubasa aka Dr. Crow (based on Karasu, and also my muse for him in my imaginary world and dreams as well – 2017 onwards) … all associated with mystery, birds, masks, dreams, the dark, death, kinks, and so on … in other words, Atsushi has been the muse for my ‘main’ crushes at the time of writing in recent years … ♡

side note: this concert is new for me, and it’s a strange occurrence to see the painting of ‘Ophelia’ by John Everett Millais, as I just saw it on the Wiki page for “The Last House On The Left” (based on “The Virgin Spring”, a Swedish film, in turn based on the legend of Per Töre, and his daughters) … it also reminds me of “Opheliac” (in title) by Emilie Autumn, which I relate to, also being a ‘mad girl’, of course. :3

second side note: after reading about the painting, I’m surprised I didn’t see the connection and inspiration for my recent favourite music video, about a romance gone wrong: “The music video for “Where the Wild Roses Grow”, commissioned by Emma Davies for Mute Records, shot by director Rocky Schenck and produced by Nick Verden for Atlas Films, shows Kylie Minogue in character, apparently having been murdered by Nick Cave’s character. We see her in ghost-like form and also in a river in a pose reminiscent of Millais’ painting Ophelia (1851–52). The video ends with Cave’s character putting a rose in Minogue’s mouth and closing her eyelids.” … lately, I’ve been a bit intrigued by murder-victim romances, thanks to loving Karasu, of course, heh.

I was born as a beast, and you were as a faerie … ♡

My heart stopped and I lost my breath, stunned in an eternal moment, when I saw the opening line: “I was born as a beast, and you were as a fairy” … Karasu is my Beast (as in, “La belle et la bête”), and I’m a faerie girl in our stories based on my family lore. (Atsushi is my muse for my Crow, as well. ♡) I also love, “If this is a dream, let me keep on dreaming…” ♡♡♡

OC Q&A: “Reblog and put in the tags how did you choose the names of your OCs”

“Reblog and put in the tags how did you choose the names of your OCs”
(Prompt by inthetags on Tumblr.)

I gave my own nicknames to my self-insert characters like Sha Pris Amaranth, Jung Sha-Mina and Yuri Sha Hargreaves.

Other times my favourite things, like Carnation Lily: two of my favourite flowers there, which I had named two of my Nintendogs after, which in turn inspired my OC’s name, so she was named after the puppies named after my favourite flowers. 😛

Bartholomew Wood and Leif Wood were named after historical figures. Well, Barley was named after a tree I named after a historical figure, not cos me and my brothers particularly care about these historical figures, but just cos we like the sound of their names, LOL! ^^;

Dr. Crow is named after my imaginary SO, Karasu from Yu Yu Hakusho whose name is the Japanese word for “Crow”, “Raven”, and “Blackbird”, as well as my crush I equate with Karasu from Black Jack named Dr. Kiriko aka “Death Incarnate”, while Dr. Crow’s real name is Tsubasa Hoshino. Tsubasa means “Wings” and is inspired by my muse and face-claim for Karasu being Atsushi Sakurai from BUCK-TICK and his association with wings, as well as Karasu’s other lookalike Lucifard Oscarstein from Kill the Crows of Three Thousand Worlds being associated with wings, too, while Hoshino comes from my other crush, Hidehiko Hoshino, also from BUCK-TICK. Dr. Crow’s nickname “Eric” is taken from Eric Draven from The Crow, and is what Sha calls him (just as I call Karasu this in my imaginary world).

Mitchi Applewaite was named after my brother, Micky, as a female counterpart to his character, Viktor, who originally shared his name.

Puck is named after Puck from A Midsummer’s Night Dream.

Just to name a few off the top of my head!

December in Kyoto

“DECEMBER IN KYOTO

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. ♡

It was Forbidden…Karasu & I♡

~* Devil x Angel *~

Karasu (Lucifer) x me (Alexiel) in Angel Sanctuary by my personal favourite artist, Kaori Yuki, whom I am inspired by (alongside Ayami Kojima)♡

He is inspired by Atsushi Sakurai, whom is my muse for Karasu in my imaginary world and dreams. She is named Alexiel, similar to Alexandria, and looks like me, with a very similar situation I am going through. They are Forbidden Lovers, much like Karasu and I♡ This is one of those Romantic Fate things how they mirror me and my SO♡

Tag game! :3

Favourite time of the year: Autumn when the leaves are changing (my favourite time to take walks, plus I feel most inspired in the Autumn), and Spring when the cherry blossoms are briefly blooming (I love going to the cherry blossom festival best♡).

Comfort food: Cheese pizza (can have on my diet), mac n cheese (only on cheat days) … basically, cheese anything, although I really want a peanut butter and strawberry jelly sammich again. I’m on a diet so I haven’t had one since before the day I started keto in April.

Favourite Dessert: Strawberry cheesecake mini snack bars, and strawberry ice cream, on keto. Otherwise, strawberry cheesecake, and strawberry fruit bars, on cheat days.

Things you collect: Fox stuffies, and merch related to Karasu. I am also blessed enough to have luvly friends and mutuals who send me Karasu-related merch and handmade gifts especially made for me, too! :3 ♡

Favourite musical artist: Tie between Atsushi Sakurai (frontman of BUCK-TICK) for male vocalists, and Amy Lee (frontwoman of Evanescence) for female vocalists. What I like about them, aside from both having cool dark images, is that they’re both basically Gothic rock, and sing about Dream-and-Death-related imagery. ♡

Last song you listened to: “Hold” by The Pierces, my most personal favourite song, as it purrfectly describes my romance with Karasu. ♡

Last movie you watched: Thor: Love And Thunder in theatre with my brothers. It was funny, but also sad! Made me appreciate the human characters more, especially Jane who I couldn’t stand before. Valkyrie is still best girl, tho! ;3 ♡

Last series you watched: The Vampire Diaries, or Yu Yu Hakusho, I don’t remember, cos I did rewatch Karasu vs. Kurama recently.

Series you’re currently watching: The Vampire Diaries with Micky, but he’s so busy nowadays that we haven’t watched in a while. We had just finished Season 3, so Elena just became a vampyre (finally), but I’m eager and restless to get around to The Originals, cos I’m a slut for Elijah for his resemblance to Hubby (which is Leopold, my old fictional husband in our original stories, not my current fictional husband/SO in my imaginary world being Karasu).

Current obsession: Karasu … as usual. And Gothic art and fiction too, also as usual. Gothic rock and symphonic metal, too, again as usual. I’ve recently became fascinated by religion again, too, though. There’s so many things modern worldly-based Christians, and especially the Catholics, get wrong about God’s Word in The Bible.

A dream place to visit: Rockport, Mass. – I still want to meet my music/art hero and old crush, David Robinson (drummer and artist for The Cars) in person. We just talk online for the past decade, and he’s active in my DR Fanclub on Facebook these days now.

A place you’ve been that you want to go back to: Ansonia, Conn. for the Autumn and Harvest Festivals.

Something you want: Peace of mind … namely: mental stability, and better physical health.

Currently working on: My mental and physical health. I’ve lost nearly 40lbs in five months so far, even on a “dirty” keto diet (I still eat too many sniks, lol), and haven’t exercised or walked in forever, due to chronic fatigue and physical aches and pains … I want to incorporate walking and exercise back into my life again, so I can further lose weight, get fit and flexible again, and just feel better in general about my body. I have severe body dysmorphic disorder and am in remission from bulimia nervosa eating disorder (though I still binge eat, and starve myself out of hatred, I’ll admit), on top of an inferiority complex, so I always am feeling horrible having to see (and can’t help comparing my chubby ass to) models on social media, and ads online and in RL, all the time (mostly Photoshopped and using pretty, flattering filters, I know, on top of already unrealistic beauty standards, but still … it affects my mental health seeing them all the time – can’t help it).

BUCK-TICK Music Challenge

Top 3 – “Misty Blue”, “Mermaid” & “Sapphire” (with “Jupiter” getting an honorary mention as I always mishear Atsushi as shouting my name “Alexandria!!” live, LOL, aside it from being connected to Hidebear’s puppy♡).

2: I’ll say “Atom Miraiha No.9” cos Nat sent it to me when it came out. :3

3: Too many – I’ll go with “Kagerou” today.

4: “Keijijou Ryusei” my first B-T video I saw thanks to Micky.

5: “This world is a dream, and a dream is where I meet you.” (“Kagerou”)

6: There’s so many, I’ll say “Keijijou Ryusei” for being my first again.

7/8: “Mermaid”, Hidebear made me laugh again after so long in this performance~ ^-^

9: Mm… I dunno! They’re all so good to me.

10: “Keijijou Ryusei” like mentioned above.

11: “Taiji”, from Atsushi, so poignant.

12: Hard to choose, but I think I like “Kagerou” best for the dream romance, and Midsummer Night’s Dream references!

13: Again, hard to choose, going with “Miu” today.

Fun fact: Atsushi is my muse for Karasu in my imaginary world. ♡

Memories … best days of my life

#tbt to Spring/Summer 2014, when I was at my happiest. ♡

Life certainly wasn’t ideal then, but I was personally happy and content. I was exploring a lot of new subjects that I became passionate about, such as East Asian culture.

I also got into Supernatural, the MCU, BUCK-TICK, Housheboys, and, through them, Backstreet Boys that year, too. (Note: I was already familiar with the BSB, but didn’t become a fan until then.)

I had my favourite life-day as well, with the pop up carnival outside the mall, which was a pleasant surprise. I rode a ferris wheel for the first time that day! I felt like Allie in The Notebook. ^.^ (also one of my nicknames btw)

Now I have a carnival in my imaginary world that my SO helped me create on our first date in 2017, when he told me to envision “the most happy, beautiful place so we could be together there”. ♡

So, my 24th life-day and my first date with Karasu have been the best days of my life … so far! ^.~

The Crow and lookalikes pt. 2

Karasu (Yu Yu Hakusho card) / Koji Nanjo (Bronze Zetsuai) / Atsushi Sakurai (front man of BUCK-TICK)

I just think they look alike, okay?! Actually, Atsushi is my muse for my SO, Karasu, in my imaginary world. I saw a resemblance when rewatching YYH as an adult and being obsessed with BUCK-TICK by then (I often referred to the band as muses for my original stories by then, too).

The Crow and lookalikes pt. 1

Karasu (Yu Yu Hakusho manga+anime) / Koji Nanjo (Bronze Zetsuai) / Atsushi Sakurai (front man of BUCK-TICK)

I just think they look alike, okay?! Actually, Atsushi is my muse for my SO, Karasu, in my imaginary world. I saw a resemblance when rewatching YYH as an adult and being obsessed with BUCK-TICK by then (I often referred to the band as muses for my original stories by then, too).

Also, I prefer manga Karasu to the anime, if anyone was wondering … much more handsome, better proportions, younger looking, and such … I like the way his character is written better, too. Togashi’s art style is more visually appealing to me, and I like to see the way the original author intended the story to go, too.
