eMpTyVeeTV - "Music videos from the bleeding edge, our VJs host a variety of goth / industrial / darkwave / steampunk / synthpop / dark alternative music of all descriptions!" They do a stream every Wednesday at 5pm EST and a replay on Sundays at noon of submitted music videos. MTV for strange people.

Extra Song 2 (Animal Crossing New Horizons) - K.K. City Pop just dropped (or rather, will drop in the next AC game).

La'Cryma Christi are now available for streaming, I say, 7 months late and having already downloaded all their songs years ago anyways. But go show them some love if you can!! If you've never listened to them, may I humbly recommend Forest, Henseifuu, and With You?

Not a song, but an interview with Lucifer and Mana (GILLE' LOVES and Malice Mizer, respectively), which I first read a very long time ago and sought out again not-so-long ago because it really does mean everything to me. I would share it to a general vkei community if we had one. *manifesting*

And then for some reason I have a bunch of Gakupo songs saved? I would delete them all, but clearly the me of August 20, 2025 really really wanted to show you all this, so I'll honor his wishes even if I don't understand them.

elyusion: Three Weeks for Dreamwidth (3w4dw)
I'm probablyyyy done for the day, sooo...
For the event I also have to do Community Thursday every Thursday. It'd be nice if I could do it all year, huh?

I posted (and probably commented at some point) in...
[community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth - Recc Songs For Points
[community profile] fandom_on_dw - New Girly Japanese(ish) Fiction Community: Joseimuke
[community profile] beautifulmechanical - Paralyzed by Sleep Theory, as part of sharing music I discovered through Dreamwidth
[community profile] language_learning - For Japanese Learners..., which just links to an old entry I cleaned up a bit
[community profile] smallweb - Imageboards for the Layman (if anyone knows how I can make an imageboard without installing Docker or some shit, I'm taking all possible suggestions)

I commented (but didn't post) in...
[community profile] frillsofjustice
[community profile] fire_emblem
[community profile] vampiremedia
[community profile] drawesome

You should also check out...
[community profile] gifs_at_dw - I'm not a member or subscriber or anything but I do miss GIFs. Get GIF'ing bud.

And of course I posted and commented in [community profile] vkotd and [community profile] joseimuke; those are my comms ~_~; I wonder if I have to mention them every Thursday too. It kind of feels like attention-seeking... I'd hate for anyone who would want to join to not know they exist, but I don't want to continually bring them up to people who don't gaf either. You know how it is.

I really need an icon related to gaming.

Give me more of your unpopular weirdos, classic game publishers
We can’t have an honest conversation about the great games we’re “supposed” to know and love if we don’t have an accurate idea of the average to compare them to. We can’t give the classics an authentic appraisal if we can’t actually see how they do things differently from the more ordinary examples they sat next to on shop shelves, or we end up assuming that creating an engaging 16-bit RPG must be easy because everything we collectively choose to revisit and elevate from that era managed it.

Throwing bouquets for this piece 💐💐💐

How the Religious Right Censor Morally Objectionable Content to Target Queer and Adult Media
But the playbook is practically the same: choose a game that is deeply morally objectionable and that very few people will defend in public, and stir up controversy over it. Soon, businesses that fear they might not comply with the rules will follow suit. Many well-intentioned people would then create petitions and organize movements against the game, which would create a chilling effect for future companies.

This is all a religious crusade from the very beginning, and I think many people played into it without realizing it.

Most of my plans for Three Weeks on my personal journal include emptying out my bookmarks of all these links I've accrued but never found the time to share. Today's links are generally about sex, gender, and orientation.

⭕ the proposal to raise every boy as a girl
No blockquote. Just read it.

How To Figure Out If You're Trans
What if I’m not sure?

That’s normal. Pretty much none of us are 100% sure, because the only way to have that much confidence is to be told when you’re little by someone you trust with all your heart. As soon as you realize—really accept—that a person’s gender assigned at birth doesn’t have to be their gender, you’ll never be 100% certain again, whether you’re trans or cis.

And that’s okay.

I really, really like this one. For normal reasons.

Icon Game

Thank you [personal profile] stardust_rifle ^^
Reply to this post saying 'icon', and I will tell you my favorite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favorite icon if you're one of those inhuman things that are actually capable of choosing between YOUR PRECIOUS BABIES! userpics.

It is hard to choose between my previous babies. So hard. The You're Under Arrest! girl is really cutesies and silly, but this icon really does get me every time I see it. I think I had been saving it for use somewhere even before I was active on here. I have so many silly Naruto icons even when it's not one of my favorite things because dammit, none of my other fandoms have XD so random type icons and no one makes them anymore

(I have to post every day for the event, you see.)
I updated my post for DW noobs, although I had to change a lot less than I thought I'd have to. I just changed some wording, added a details tag, and added two suggested communities ([community profile] fictional_fans and [community profile] agonyaunt).
elyusion: lord forgive me (addiction)
Doing everything late because I had work yesterday and it threw everything off for me @_@

I have an event going on [community profile] vkotd, so if you like visual kei and you want to find more aaaaaand you want a paid account, check it out! I also officially opened [community profile] joseimuke, which doesn't have an ~event~ going on for 3W4DW but I'm looking forward to what the people want to let out regardless.

As for my own journal, for day 1 I wanted to do an "about me"-type meme and a free doodles thing*. The about me comes first.
