This is just the latest of a barrage of instances whereupon justice does not compromise at all, regardless of circumstance or side, and moreso upholds the rights of the truly hapless, as well as those who continually campaign for humanity’s good, over those who campaign only for themselves and their ill-gotten wealth and power.

I would also like to add that she’s also in the game Sayonara Wild Hearts as the Narrator herself, as a sort of last-minute addition by the developers at Simogo.

This is a simple yet effectively-down-to-earth meme right here. Not all conflicts and problems have to be responded with abject rage and negativity; humility, a willingness to listen with caution, and most of all, an eagerness to explain and discern beyond the bubble like your favorite high school/collegiate instructor would, are all that it takes for positive and fruitful conversations and engagements, especially in online rafts like the ones we currently have built down here.

Modular synthesis, archiving, lost media, and most of all, rhythm game lore.

Down the chats of the official Fanlore discord server lately (of which I have been in for the past few months), they’ve been discussing this kind of transgression alongside the HP fanfic debacle (specifically, the Manacled one, of which upon its reworked professional release by its fanfic author gained enough controversy within and outside the fandom that it warranted for a wiki article on its own).

Also, one editor has suggested using “illegal fic binding” in place of the term "illegal “fanbinding” as the latter connotes the non-profit work with a for-profit tone in a negative way. Another has noted that het (in other words, F/M) fanfics sell much more than other pairing-centered ones, and attract more outsiders willing to buy that much for an illegal fic-binded copy, in disrespect to those original authors; throw the franchise copyright shenanigans in, and there we have the entire panfandom world at a crossroads battlefield against those recklessly profiteering for the sake of it.

Also, as a side note, there’s also this recently-created wiki article section about said fannish controversy:

Most, if not all, of my experienced dreams so far, have been in 1st person, as if I’m the one living through whatever realism-fantasy-scifi shenanigans I’m in; thing is, most of the time, they’re almost exclusively set within my home province, including the central capital city, highways and all.
Consuming and creating various creative media also has its own part in aligning perspectives in those dreams, as well as how the supposed “plot”/“storyline” plays out in its entirety.

Hey, I know that from OMORI—specifically, the Weeping Willow joke quest.

It’s okay by me; no one’s actually got their guts and feels hurt by that much. All is fair game.

Recently tried out vivid/statis on PC (via my older sister’s (now my younger bro’s) laptop) since last week, even though I’m not that much of a rhythm game enthusiasts, speaking as a young adult keen on exploration and slow-paced music in video games.

For what it’s worth, it just feels and plays quite good, with only four keys to smash and hold note bars to (much like Stepmania and other related RGs, but with the addition of bumper bars), as well as a couple of modes and storyline beats to try and dive deep into, including the tough-as-nails, one-miss-and-you-fail Ultimate mode. And its palette of featured songs are a worthwhile mention, ranging from the slow-paced to the absolute hardcore banger type. And this week, I just scored my first FC on Luminaria (Opening 1), and witnessed the game’s first edition of their tournament DUALIZED ASCENSIA unfold, from start to finish. Reeked of adrenaline-fueled fun and competition.

That being said, playing through my way on this game deffo improved on my physical reflexes and typing speed quite a bit, even though I get grades lower than A on certain harder charts. I guess we will see if I can achieve my first V grade and complete Class 1 in Course Mode after a couple more rounds of practice and studying Youtube plays of some of those aforementioned charts.

As @Drusas also noted below, just discovering and enjoying new things, while also finding stories of humane positivity, everything nature and greenery, and listening to trackertunes that are well-crafted and have a strong storyline involved.

@HeartyBeast Jokes on you, I already figured out what story’s on its surface (except for spoiler-territory stuff), as well as having indirectly encountered this banger of a rhythm game myself, through two rip vids on both SiIvaGunner and TimmyTurnersGrandDad several weeks ago, of all things.

For a complete surprise, just the few intro part notes of bo en’s “My Time”.

It would be mostly this song by Filipino band Over October, even though this could also apply to those missing their own parents or siblings for so long:
Into the Light

Headcase by Derivakat

And including Lualhati Bautista, Fred Rogers, and a few more kindred souls, of which we lost some too soon into their long lives…

Moreso in that blood-crimson, with-large-ominous-hand-constructs purgatory known as RED SPACE, with OMORI’s true form constantly berating their souls for their unspeakable transgressions towards their fellow humans.

And, about time for some listening to this one banger Free Money! rip on Youtube as a sort of ironic celebration.

Even I beforehand, before I took on my first day at college some months ago, realized how crapsack (for lack of a better term) the world actually is, especially for neurodivergent young adults like me, and how many others in my age range would rather go hikokomori and focus on doing their own creative thing rather than serve the uninspired and haughty. Some deal with unbridled anger, others with anguish, others with keeping a false positive façade, while others try to keep it neutral and normal under the hood…

Maybe that’s why one of my recent favorite tracks nowadays comes from the OMORI OST, that being “It Means Everything”. Alongside Derivakat’s newest EP yet, they convey what it means to be both confused and so distraught with anger from all the hardships we face in our later teenage stage of life, including the ever-increasing “I-don’t-care-about-everything-anymore” attitude prevalent amongst teenagers and YAs, especially with troubled childhoods and broken friendships.

That would be OMORI, first and foremost.
