....

Thanks to your glorious title, I now have a mental image of Nezumi as young Keanu Reeves in Bill and Ted.


I present you (pseudo) life action dudes: Rikiga, Shion and Nezumi?

I have thankfully never heard the dub and I'm not sure now if I should do so or not...

Wow, that is a lot that has been going on. But I'm glad to hear that some things are resolved.

Also... how can a PT NOT notice dislocated kneecaps. That's like the second thing you do should make that obvious. But well... there's a lot of PT who think they know what it is or don't question the diagnose and don't recheck... My mum recently got PT as well for her knees (I pressed her for years now, her gait is horrible and I can't be her therapist, because she never listens to me.) And then the one she goes to massages her all 9 sessions and gives her ONE stretching exercise. That's... doing nothing. Not worth the money. I was pretty pissed off.

Hope your boyfriend does well, that's a shitty shoulder injury to have. I've seen a few of those (skiing resorts everywhere), they tend to heal alright though!

I've just been outside with my roommates dog. And... it made me come back here to see what's been going on.
I have never realised how creepy similar my city is to No. 6.
I've walked behind the waste disposal plant and from that angle it looks so much like what's described of the one from the west gate and a touch of correctional facility. We also have a dome on the top of the government building which is in the center of the city and a wall of high mountains on one side in the distance.
However... politics aren't too bad, since this is a near complete democracy.

Books or Movies, anything entertaining unless his head can't take it. But it will be boring to wait for it to heal.

Also my friend and me had fun today. And I don't consider it proper cosplay, we just had fun. So I'm sharing it here.

I also laughed my butt off when I tried her Shion wig. I definitely don't look like Shion.

This is totally off toppic and not really relevant, but I just read some texts from last night and I really had to laugh at these:

[ text ]: I have a knack for carnage and poetic language

[ text ]: you got into a really intense argument about protecting bees. it was weirdly arousing.

[ text ]: I have never heard someone not give a **** so poetically in my life. I feel like you should be leading men into battle with a speech like that.

[ text ]: I can tell right now that knowing you will either be really fun or ruin my life

Coincidentally I watched that exact video on eyeliner about two days ago. But I never manage to make it look like that, I've never practiced, so I have something to catch up there. I still just do the waterline most of the time. As for contouring I'm working more and more with that, but the lighting and the camera is not exactly optimal, I think it was light from the laptop screen and my phone? Although I am glad my phone kinda clears out the skin.

For the eyes, I still have to get contacts, those are my plain eyes and to get that bigger anime eye look... it's better with slightly larger contacts, because otherwise you have too much emphasize on the whites? At least that's how I feel. And that make up brand you mentioned, no that doesn't exist here. But I've discovered this one named catrice that is fairly cheap but quite alright and another one called essence usually hase some good stuff. The only thing I'm struggling with is foundation, because drugstore brands are not light enough for me. I mostly use a BB cream that has decent coverage that I got on ebay (from Korea).

As for the hair, yes, that is no wig and I want to keep it that way, even though there have been others who think I'm crazy if I want to pull off a cosplay without a wig. But I still think a tight ponytail looks better when it's real and I like my hair, I have a lot, straight and healthily silky hair so I don't feel uncomfortable. (My hair is that one feature I actually like about myself XD) Also Nezumi's little ponytail is actually how I run around at work as well, the time it takes to style that isn't even a minute. Grab, pull up, shake out the fringe and tie, done. So for a convention I guess I'd just set the front with hairspray and so I can redo the ponytail if it gets messy without having to fuss over it for an hour in the bathroom.

Sadly the haircolour I have been using and liking seems to have been discontinued and now I need to find a new brand that I like. (Being naturally dark blonde...) Not quite satisfied with any new one so far...

I've been daring and tried this blue-black that barely had a shine of blue though. (Picture attached, please don't look at my face, I'm not wearing make up at all)
But I think I'd rather look further for another one that is just really deep, dark black, because that also works a bit smoother with my very pale skin tone. More of a neutral to neutral tone instead of a cold one.

I'm still a newbie, but I can share my first cosplay. I made it all on my own and have worn it at two conventions.


It's actually all low budget (except for the wig). And the pictures are from a con in Germany.

My cosplay is getting more and more complete. I'm still trying around with make up though. But I just rediscovered this on my phone and I wanted to share. What do you think? Any tips?

Klick here, because it's not exactly small.

Asahi is a giant and he looks mature, having a little beard and all (despite being 17, people always think he's already an adult) but he's very shy and timid and Hosoya actually carries that softness and insecurity in his voice despite not making it high. There his voice fits perfectly.

Honestly, I enjoy the guys with deeper voices, I can accept that when they're 17, too, even if it is a bit of a long shot. But really it would be nice if they switch for flashbacks to childhood at least.

Yamaguchi is just a little bit of a personal hero for me, haha. I admit, I'm old. But I also like the young ones that just started.

I never really noticed that German dubs are less shrill, save a few rare cases. But yeah, it is a Japanese thing as far as I know that high, cute voices for women is what you want. Hence popular characters usually get very 'cute' voices and many girls try to speak higher, too.

But I can't agree with German being a language for a lower voice. I do speak higher when I go for proper German compared to Swiss-German. The latter is more lazy, deeper in the throat by nature, for German I form the sounds more in my mouth to articulate cleaner. My English voice tends to be deeper than German as well. Can't judge it for Chinese, it's been a while and the quality is very much different. I think French is about the same level as German, too. Lots of sounds to refine with your tongue and teeth so it's harder to keep the vocal cords very open.

A big part of it certainly is also confidence and how used you are to a language. If it's new or rarely used you have to more consciously watch the sounds you produce/muscles you move and that automatically causes tension and the tension of the vocal chords makes a voice higher. That's also why confidence lowers the voice and nervousness can make it higher together with the posture.

Ahiku though probably has much better knowledge when it comes to that. ^^
