Orangey Rose in it’s new home 🍊🥀

I placed the lovely orange rose 🍊🥀 I got from Mikau dude @octobernocturne for women’s day in my old Bucky Barnes tall cup 🥤 …tis actually all Civil War, but I picked it out at FYE in the mall cos I was in an imaginary relationship with Steven, who was originally inspired by Android 17, and also our Bucky (who others also came to compare and associate with 17). 🥰 But, yea, I was pretty happy to find one Bucky item that trip with our anniversary coming up…February 22nd…the next day I’d start rewatching Yu Yu Hakusho, and eventually find my way to my now imaginary husband, Karasu, hahaha (laughs in sillybird)…but tis okays, Steven/17 is now one of our helpers with our Little Crow Goblins, along with Kurama. (Sailor Mars represents me next to Karasu, as she is my kindred spirit, still wearing crowns 👑 from my graduation party 🥳 and Pichi there with Karasu is also me, as I used to have a Princess Peach dream avatar…I shape-shift in my dreams sometimes…although I was always Daisy, but also became Pichi when I went by Chibi Pichi online for a time, and cos I was a blondie when me and my Crowman got together. Dee! 😋) and Suguru Geto who is also Karasu to me, cos…i used to see fanart of him and an OC, and i thought they looked like Karasu and me, so that’s why i even got into Jujutsu Kaisen in the first place! ^^;

Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama-sensei… 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏻

Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama-sensei… 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏻

Thankyou for my first imaginary boyfriend, Android 17 … Lapis … who is Steven in MQ and our lives. ♡

Akira Toriyama-sensei passed away st 68 from acute subdural hematoma … so devastating. 😰

Happy Halloweenie 🎃

Happy Halloweenie 🎃

Profile picture is of my husband Karasu my Immortal King, and my cover photo are dollies of Steven as the Mad Hatter, me and Micky as Juliet and Tybalt Capulet, and Amy-Belle who is a real vampyress, created by Micky @octobernocturne in 2017.

{ prompt } what’s something most people don’t know about you?

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I pseudo-hallucinate fictional characters, like … I have my own imaginary world, that transcends dreams to daydreams to fantasies to my everyday life with children with my husband, Karasu, and our helpers, Steven/Android 17, and Kurama. I mostly hear their voices, feel their presences, their touches, them walking around, kids climbing into bed to cuddle, their scents, my husband’s kiss and taste, those things. ♡ I sometimes see them too, but usually just glimpses of them going by, leaning near me, or their energy as they make a sudden movement, and moreso in my mind’s eye. While I am able to hear them, I strangely can’t always hear them clearly, so I’m not always sure what they’re saying, even when I ask, “what did you say?” Aaaaa, go figure ^^;

Random AMA with Karasu’s voice actor Kyle Hebert!

I caught the end of a “Random AMA” by Kyle Hebert @kylehebert the English voice actor of my imaginary husband Karasu-chan, who I asked what was it like voicing Karasu, like I did on his Reddit AMA a few years back, cos I’m so original. ^^; Kyle remembered Karasu (how could you forget the Crow?!), and quoted Karasu, saying, “Why don’t you make it easy, and submit?” Aaaaa 💞🙀💞😻💕 (oh! And Kyle talked again about how Yu Yu Hakusho director and Yusuke’s voice actor Justin Cook gave Kyle the role of Karasu without an audition! Purrfect choice!! Glad he did!! >:3 ♡)

I also have his autograph from an online friend who met him recently in Rhode Island, and Kyle quoted Karasu for me there too, writing “Yuri, do you fear my touch, or do you want know what it could do to you?” Like…aaaaa!! 💞🙊💞🙈💞 (pics of his autograph pinned on my Instagram page here – Kyle even drew the most adorable Trace Eye, too!! 🐱 ♡)

Now I just needa meet him at a con myself! 🐱 ♡ I wish I could be a voice actor and work with him too – i love how Kyle said he makes voices all the time no matter where he is, and that voice actors like him all have a buncha different personalities with voices in their head, and they get to express those voices through voice acting! I feel the same way tbh, so I was surprised to hear someone put it into words, as i have my imaginary Crow family and imaginary friends and how I can hear their voices and such everyday, then I also like mimicking their voices, and making up my own, hehe. 😙 (my creative way of coping with reality and past trauma is having my own imaginary world)

Thankyou Kyle for being awesome!! =^w^= BTW, Beast Gohan in the latest DragonBall Super movie sounds like my Karasu-chan too!! Super sexy!! 💞🙊💞😻💞

ALSO KYLE SAID MY WHOLE SCREEN NAME AAAA 🥰🥰🥰

Belated: Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day. 🧺

At picnic with Micky @octobernocturne and his friends. My imaginary husband Karasu on my badge, keychain, and I’m wearing his official earrings too. Him and our Little Crow Goblins and our helpers here in my head. 🥰

Had apple cider that tastes like apple juice, and tried pumpkin coffee cake, which is good; I need the recipe – thankyou, Savannah @happywarrior59 who made it for Micky and me. ☺

This reminds me of a recent microdream

These two look like me and Commander Erwin in a recent microdream I had of us getting married in an AU future that was supposed to be set in 2027. 😯

Karasu-chan, our Crow Goblins, and our helpers (Steven aka Android 17 and Kurama) were there. My groom Erwin was asking about my first husband Karasu, who crossed his arms nonchalantly while pretending to look interested up at the trees as if he didn’t notice us talking about him. I said Karasu was over me I think, and mostly just following our helper, Kurama, around all the time while trying his old tricks to make me jealous by saying he met a hot nurse through his doctor, which everyone knew wasn’t true, as the Crow likes to tell tall tales. Sigh. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We were getting married on a pleasant, cool sunny day with clouds in the sky, in my dream apple orchard surrounded by my various flower gardens. Erwin didn’t have his suit jacket on, and had on a white button-up shirt and tie instead of this outfit, and I didn’t wear a veil, but did wear a simple Summer dress, however, we did look like this pair for the most part. 🤵🏼‍♂️💐👰🏻

Happy belated Independence Day ☆

{ earlier tonight ☆ I’m home now }

I am at the belated 4th of July fireworks with my Bro, Mikau dude @octobernocturne and my imaginary SO, Karasu, and our Little Crow Goblins, as well as our helpers, Steven/17 and Kurama. 🎆🎇🧨

I an enough. 🤍

My favourite affirmation: “I am enough.” ~ just as my boy Android 17 says word for word in the original Japanese version of DragonBall Super. 🐉💚

I was super sad they didn’t translate it the same in English. They changed it to something about him being an one man army. I also was sad they completely changed the joke with his niece Marron about his age being 17 into a weird one about his least favourite animal being humans. 🙄

Happy 5th Life-day to my Crow Goblin #3!

Happy 5th Life-day to the third Crow Goblin of my first set of triplets! :3 ♡

My big boy is a wonderful, kind and affectionate child ever since he was born. Like his siblings, he is so artsy and creative! He is my one boy who is growing out his long black hair, and looks most like Daddy cos of this alongside his triplet sister who is a blondie and has Daddy’s sweet smile and eyes to a T. ♡

I talked with my birthday boy about what would he like, and remembered he likes my crush, Commander Erwin, and wanted to meet him, although he changed his mind after Daddy was upset about it. I got my son to admit he still likes Erwin. My son asked for an autograph, so I decided to try that. I dreamt of Commander Erwin being happy to comply, hehe. Cute dream (in that dream I was “world hopping” or something weird like that, I still haven’t figured out how that works – dream logic), and it made my son happy to receive a personalised message with the Commander’s signature and autograph. ☺🧧

Then I dreamt of a big birthday party, which included my first daughter from a past relationship I had with my friend Loki, who was there with his wife, Sigyn, who is also our friend. These two helped take care of the triplets when they were first born in 2018. Kurama and Steven/Android 17 are our constant daily helpers though, being the kids’ de facto uncles now. Sometimes their Auntie Ruka comes around, too! :3 ♡

Karasu makes the best Daddy ever, and I love him everyday for being a great father. =^w^= ♡

I hope my kids have great birthdays, holidays, special occasions, and make the most of everyday as it were as will I. They inspire me to live!! :3 ♡♡♡

What’s the worst thing your comfort character has done?

Karasu in YYH – ‘bug’ Kurama (that’s putting it lightly, lol) / Karasu in my Inner Wonderland – prey on my insecurities (yay for psychosis! >.<)
Android 17 – depends on the timeline, lol! Lots of chaos & destruction in HoT+GT, otherwise he’s kinda just a troll in Z/Super, lol.

My DragonBall Lookalike! (Valese)

Look, Ma! I’m a DragonBall character! 

Pics: Yesterday we went to see DragonBall Super: Super Hero in theatres! (SPOILERS)

Yesterday we went to see DragonBall Super: Super Hero in theatres! (SPOILERS)

I was super excited to see Android 17 in the flashbacks! (First pic was sent to me by Micky btw) I was hoping he would appear in the present day later on, even tho I knew better, and he didn’t – 18 did, tho I felt for her when she had a trauma response when she saw the new Cell. I know the feeling … it made me feel less alone to see a character I admire so greatly have such a human response that I could relate with.

I was euphoric when I heard the Karasu in Gohan’s voice when he evolved into his new form – like, WOWIE, it made me squirm with enormous excitement to hear Daddy!! >w< ♡ (Pan reminds me sho much of our Crow Goblins, too!! Sho cute and super smart!! :3)

Fun fact: my SO Karasu (who also goes from black hair to blond in a power up form, which I affectionately call “My Super Saiyan Crow”) shares an English VA with Gohan, and a Japanese one with Vegeta, so either way I woulda heard Karasu’s voice, LOL (we almost went to see this movie subtitled earlier in the week).

The Gammas were so cool! I could see why fans compare them to the original Android duo, 17 and 18. They were like the same character types as the twins, albeit in an exaggerated kind of way: 2 was fun-loving and cool, while 1 was serious and hot. His voice was hot too – he sounded like a male version of 18, like how she has a sultry, serious badass voice, but not like in that stereotypical seductive, manipulative bitch way. My girl has class, damn it! 😃

Piccolo playing undercover was so funny! Speaking of which, after the show, Micky got a Piccolo Warrior drink (I stole a few pics from Micky’s stories in my slideshow, btw). I also took pics of cherries (for me and Karasu), and dinosaurs (for Rob and my Crow Goblins), and pocky – when I first saw pocky was in fan art of 17, or Juunanagou as I called him back then. Like Rob said, back then it wasn’t available in the States like today. Sadly I couldn’t have any of the sniks I got pics of – I’m gluten intolerant, and on the keto diet anyway.

ACNH: Fireworks show!

First fireworks show 🎆 – every Sunday night of August! 🎇

We also have K.K. Slider every Saturday night, too. 🎸🎶

I won numbers 13 and 17* at Redd’s Raffle, got ice cream and cotton candy, a sparkler from a neighbour (Sprinkle the blue penguin), and Isabelle the dog gave me sparkly flowers to wear on my head … I prefer my pink bow, tehe. 

* 13 like the number I wore on my tee shirt in The Sims 1 when I married Android 17/Steven in 2004. ^-^ ♡

In the rain

I’m gonna paste from my blurb on this from the WIP I had posted for Steven’s birthday a while back:

“So, we have Dr. Crow looming over Sha who sees him, and Steven who can’t see him. Sha thinks he’s part of her hallucinations related to her anxiety disorder (chronic PTSD). There’s more to the Crow than that, however – but that would be spoilers for our webcomic (upcoming). Dr. Crow is a homage to my imaginary SO, Karasu from Yu Yu Hakusho. Sha is my self-insert original character, and the first of several I have thanks to being a roleplayer. Steven is my/her first boyfriend, initially based on Android 17 from DragonBall Z.”

Thank you, Micky, for drawing the outline for Dr. Crow’s pose which helped me out a whole lot!!

Attack of the clones!! (Crush edition, LOL!)

So, two people online compared our OC Steven (originally inspired by Android 17) to Yumichika from Bleach, who I have seen a pic of before, and my imaginary SO Karasu to Takumi from Nana, which I read in Shojo Beat as a teenager (I remember him – the sweet Nana’s abusive husband) – pretty ironic as I was interested in getting back into Nana recently as I was looking into it on Facebook and such, before this friend made the comparison, LOL! ^^;

FYI: Nana actually reminds me of Micky @octobernocturne who loves the rockstar Nana, and my friend Natalus aka Nana @natus.insensatus who was nicknamed after the two Nanas. ♡

(I’m biased, and seeing a lot of Atsushi Sakurai and Lucifard in Takumi, too.)

Edit: Based on the expressions on both of my brothers’ faces, I knew what they were thinking when I mentioned that Karasu was compared to Nana’s abusive husband. Micky replied to my remark on their faces with, “Nana’s? Or Nabi’s?” 🙄

Nabi is my nickname btw. And, yesh, Karasu is my abusive husband – I won’t deny it… But he can be good, too! 🥺

Collab with Matt – Set 1

Better viewed on deviantART: https://www.deviantart.com/tealightstories/art/Collab-with-Matt-Set1-922636971

So, for my art music video collab with my best friend, Matty aka AltoonaYourPiano on YouTube, I drew several of our original characters to be featured in the story.

This first set features Dr. Crow (aka Tsubasa Hoshino, who I call Eric after The Crow with Brandon Lee) whom is a homage to my imaginary SO, Karasu from Yu Yu Hakusho as we know him (FYI: I hallucinate fictional characters and have creative lucid dreams, which is both a blessing and a curse, LOL!) with some nods to my other villainous crushes I compare my SO to, being Dr. Kiriko from Black Jack, and Vicious from Cowboy Bebop; as well as our original characters, Steven James Gayle (and, yesh, he was originally inspired by Android 17 from DBZ), and me as a cartoon character (aka Sha Pris Amaranth), who are both cosplaying Funky Kong and Candy Kong from the Donkey Kong video games (just change “Candy” on the tee to “Nabi” which is one of my nicknames) with hints of our kindred spirits Hong Yun-seong and Seong Mi-Na from Soul Calibur here, LOL! Sha normally wears her hair like Mi-Na anyhow (especially the high braided ponytail in SCIV), seeing as Mi-Na is my kindred spirit and inspiration. I wanna grow my hair out and wear it like hers again in RL, too!! >o<

Here’s the link to our art music video collab celebrating both our 20+ years of friendship and Matty’s YouTube music channel hitting the ten year mark today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=–2JfUfYPR0

He covers some basic history and flashbacks of his channel for the first 15-ish minutes, then introduces his original characters (along with one of ours being Kaye drawn by Matty), and then deets covering our lifelong friendship come in at about 24-ish minutes, with my art and Rob’s art coming in after that with some commentary by our characters; supervised by us too (poor Crow’s line was omitted when Matty had to re-edit the video, but this is what Crow had to say about the celebration: “Congratulations on your friendship! May it prosper like us.” My imaginary SO, Karasu, came up with his line, of course! >:3 YESH, I let my imaginary friends write the characters based on them!! LOL!! ^O^) 

P.S. The background is by my bestie, Matty!! 😀 Also, read my pinned comment for more fun deets on YouTube!! >:3

WIP Crow Sha Steven Rain

So, we have Dr. Crow looming over Sha who sees him, and Steven who can’t see him. Sha thinks he’s part of her hallucinations related to her anxiety disorder (chronic PTSD). There’s more to the Crow than that, however – but that would be spoilers for our webcomic (upcoming). Dr. Crow is a homage to my imaginary SO, Karasu from Yu Yu Hakusho. Sha is my self-insert original character, and the first of several I have thanks to being a roleplayer. Steven is my/her first boyfriend, intiially based on Android 17 from DragonBall Z. This is a WIP, which I’m posting cos I said I would post it for Steven’s birthday today (June 4th) … as you can see, I didn’t finish it yet. I’m really struggling with all aspects of my health and fatigue, thus the delays. I have a backlog of other WIPs, too.

Thank you, Micky, for drawing the outline for Dr. Crow’s pose which helped me out a whole lot!!

2/22/2022: 18th Wedding Anniversary with 17

On February 22nd, 2004, I married Android 17 from DragonBall in The Sims 1. ♡ (Or, well, basically my self-insert original character did, named Sha (my nickname), aka Android 29, or Nijuukyuu, since me and my girlies all called 17 by his Japanese name, Juunanagou, back then, so I/she had to match him, lol.)

We got married in his backyard, wearing these outfits. I chose white carnations, being my personal favourite flowers, for my/her wedding bouquet. ♡

17 and 29 are the prototype for Steven Gayle and Sha Amaranth in our original (upcoming) Gothic/Dark Fantasy webcomic; you can check out art and stories related to it over at TealightStories – oh, and fun fact: 17/Steven is literally the only man I’ve ever married in any Sims game! And I’ve been playing The Sims games for years. ^///^ ♡♡♡♡♡

A Birthday Tribute to Steven (4th June 2o1o)

I made this 11 years ago for Steven’s birthday, featuring characters associated with him like Android 17, Hwoarang/Iron, Yun-seong, etc. and I’m his girl, Seong Mi-Na! 💚 

 My penname at the time was Saria Necile aka Sallie for short, as a sort of play off of how my friends called me Allie short for Alexandria, my birth name. 

 A fun coincidence is that one of our songs is “I think we’re alone now” by Tiffany, and later we dedicated “Kiss you all over” by Exile to one another to eventually find out that Tiffany covered it! 😀
