umineko rant post (again) + art dump

When I say I will be more productive when homeschooling I mean it. Well, not that productive, but at least I can draw more because I have more freetime. Playing Umineko is also called productive lmao

lame signature is lame This is actually a doodle I did in my sketchbook (explains the pencil lines, yes?) but I ended up coloring it. Reason? It's Erika. Do you need anymore reason? Anyhow I experimented on a new style and I ended up liking it, I guess I'll be sticking to this style from now on. Unless I find another style that is much more simple that is.

I also tried to draw the blush using Shungiku Nakamura's style. Yes the author of Junjou Romantica. Idk the blush looks nice imo, and it's pretty simple because all you need to do is draw lines overlapping each other (use red when you're CG-ing) 8| Then, just add a bit of red airbrush on it, lower the opacity, and you're done. Simple, rather than using red to shade the cheeks pffft.

GUESS WHO FINISHED EP7 OF UMINEKO.

If you guessed Me, 50 points for your house. Sdlfjask;ld it was all so sad and angsty ;A; Shannon’s and Kinzo’ past life, Yasu’s life as well, and the end of the tea party (that involved Will’s arm ajsdlf;sdj dude are you okay like siriusly 8|), gah that was all very exciting and beautiful at the same time. I was wondering why the hell did the trollface! Claire existed but when I played it the question was answered. You must know what pairing I like here. Why yes indeed, it’s Will/Lion. Obvious right?

Then I get the feeling that everyone in the fandom and who has already played the game has this question popping in their heads, “Lion, what the hell is your gender?” I shall explain my opinion on this and I’m not expecting you to agree with me. It’s just what I think about the whole thing.

First of all, I think Lion is a guy. No, it’s not because I want Will/Lion to be a BL pairing although that would make me extremely happy, it’s because of the things said in this game. According to my reasoning that is.

Yasu’s gender has been established in the game and Yasu’s a she. Everyone must assume that Lion is also a girl. However I do not think this way. Will said that to put it simply, Lion and Beatrice (Yasu) are like the 2 sides of a coin. That must mean that they are the opposite of each other; like yin-yang, morning-night, head-tails, sort of like that. So then if Yasu’s a girl, that makes Lion a boy.

The multiple personality thing also counts. So far, the personalities of Yasu are Shannon and Kanon. Kanon’s a guy (Shannon said she looks at him like her little brother) and Yasu is mentioned to be a tomboy. A tomboy girl has ½ personalities of a girl and ½ personalities of a boy. How do I know this? Because I am one myself. I don’t like wearing skirts or do girlish stuff such as shopping for clothes or gossiping, but I do care about my appearance (especially my hair lol) and I like boys as well (Gokudera, ‘nuff said. I have been with him for 3 years you know /slapped).

Back to the tomboy thing, so if we look at it the mathematical way:

½ girl + ½ boy = ½ girl + ½ boy

Which means, Shannon + Kanon = Yasu + X
X = Lion, which means Lion is a boy.

I think Ryukishi plans to put Lion’s gender in a catbox, so two of the truth exists. Gah this is confusing orz Okay so that’s just how I look at things in EP7. Overall t’was a good read. Although I’m not sure if I will continue playing the rest of the games (I have to finish EP5 though, I’m not sure about EP6 and EP8 because I have those lovely spoilers to read), I’ll still be looking out for the alternate endings of the 8th game. Oh and I’m also looking forward to the last (?) motion graphic. The last one (7th) was excellent and so far it's my favorite one.

asa and the snorting audience

Today was my first violin concert and I think it was pretty satisfying. I think. I did well while practicing but when I had to perform I was nervous and I screwed up in some parts orz I had to redo the last part of the song because I was trembling and I couldn't move the bow properly.

Thank god one of the audience snorted (and I think I heard some of them giggling as well) because this made me snort too and somehow that stopped me from trembling too much. That was weird actually. I had thought I would be like "holy crap someone is laughing at me jsdklaf;sdj I will sulk when I get home", but no. Instead in my head I thought "you haven't seen the real thing, HAHA". I managed to play the last half like a boss and I must admit I like it better than the first half of the song.

Want to know the song I played? Here it is. Although it's not a recording of me playing AND DAMN THE KID'S BETTER THAN ME ORZ, but it's the same song. If you're learning the violin, then you might know it already (it's Etude & its variation from Suzuki 1. Yes I'm still in grade 1 you have a problem with that?).

Oh and I can play the Nyan Nyan Jingle from Macross Frontier using the violin now! Maybe I'll record it sometime when I find out how to do it lol

having the time of my life

and I've never felt this way befo-- okok so life has been great ever since I started homeschooling.

Well, technically I don't have school because I study at home. So far I've been studying using the CDs that the school gave me. Inside the CDs are compilations of the topics in each subjects (1 cd = 1 subject = >3 topics), and there are a bunch of them that I need to learn orz I've been looking through the biology CDs, decided to leave physics and math for later. I was surprised and glad that there were no social studies ones because I don't really like that subject, which means I don't have to learn them. yet. I think ;;

imo I like studying like this better than at school. I can study at my own pace, I can choose whether or not to take notes (I take notes though, one of my methods to study and remember stuff is this), and it's not noisy \o/ I can take a break whenever the hell I want, eat or drink while I study, it's not stressing like when we have to go to school. Plus, I have a more disorganized relaxed life now.

Because the teacher comes in the evening (lessons are from 3-5 PM) and all my extra lessons are also in the evening, I can wake up late and no one's gonna complain about that. I can sleep late too, like I always do (and I have to stop because it's bad for my body orz). Homeschool gives me a lot of freetime as well, so I can accomplish loads of stuff like finishing books or practice drawing.

Oh btw yesterday I visited my old school and this happened.

Me: *opens class door slightly, peek until only 1/2 of my face is visible*

Class: *looks at me for a while and shouts, "ASAAAAAAAAAAA"*

I am touched, damn I miss my classmates (only a few of them though ;;) ;A; I was really happy when I met my friends from the X class, especially my friend whom I call 'Moony' (a girl, she also likes HP). I also met Mino but idk we didn't talk a lot. We're all hyper in the internet but we get really quiet when meeting face to face lol. I didn't meet my seniors though. I really wanted to but it was my mistake of not telling people I wanted to visit today.

I'm gonna visit again on Wednesday (tomorrow) and I'm planning to see my seniors this time 8|

Umineko rant post (spoiler alert)

Okok so this fandom has taken over my life besides Harry Potter. Why yes, I have this thing with fantasy and magic stuff. But because I've only watched the anime and haven't played the games yet, I look at a lot of spoilers. I'm okay with them idk why, it makes me want to play the games even more 8|

I'm in the middle of playing Ep5 now and so far I'm liking it. This is deeper and far more interesting than the anime because it's much more detailed. Even though the drawing's not that good compared to other VNs, idk it suits the game I think.

Anywho, to the rants! That bitch, that friggin' jerk asdfjk;lsd. I don't even know why I like her 8| I've liked her even before playing the game. At first it was just because of the design. Then I searched for spoilers and I like her character. After playing the game, I like her even more but hot dang she is soooo annoying orz I cannot not like her even though I have convinced myself numerous times "she's a jerk she's a jerk she's annoying" but I just can't orz I just found out that there's an Anti-Erika club in deviantart lol. haters gonna hate I guess? I don't mind though, 'cause she is annoying but argh I cannot not like her afljsdl;lasdfjl

I'm not much of a fan of Natsuhi but Ep5 is surprisingly interesting to read. Natsuhi working together with Beatrice and the demons? That shocked me lol. I can imagine Erika working with them (she has Eiserne Jungfrau though) but Natsuhi? Shit just got real though, so might as well accept it.

With all the EP8 fuss, I've also looked at spoilers and a bit confused about the endings. Looks like you can actually choose the ending based on the choices you make through out the games, which is confusing imo because all the 7 games (I think) only requires us to just click away and read the story. The name of the culprit isn't out yet (or has it? EP7 mentioned it but is that really true?) and I'm extremely curious about who it is.

Speaking of EP7, THIS PAIRING. omg this. I haven't even played the games but, again, spoilers, made me ship this. Pixiv doesn't help either it just makes it even worse 8| I think their detective-assisstant relationship is cute somehow. Also amusing because of the ass-pinching thing lmao. But this line (the one in the screenshot), it's legit. Real. It's in the game. And it makes me (and maybe everyone) think that this is canon. Yes please! But I would really love it even more if Lion is actually a guy. Idk maybe because I'm used to BL couples? I just can't see Lion as a girl for some reason.

Ah, first attempt in drawing Lion btw. Truthfully this is my first umineko fanart aside from Erika. Yes I haven't drawn anything Umineko related besides her. Have I told you how much I love her even though she's a complete arse? Yes I think I did, okay. And I need to practice poses. I keep doing headshot because they're simple. This way I will never learn and I think the head is a bit too big orz

late asa is late

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

telat extreme

So anyhow, yeah. Happy new year and I hope this year will be a better year for me and for all of you who even bothers reading this blog. I've decided that I will post in english (but maybe in Indonesian ocasionally dan kalimat selipan juga pakai bahasa Indonesia) starting from this year. Just to see if it'll change anything. If I'm not really comfortable with it then I'll change it back to Indonesian.

I'm supposed to start my homeschooling in the beginning of January but idk my parents suddenly changed the schedule. I'll probably start next week, but truthfully I wanted to start this week. Lol this is my first time wanting to go to school what has happened to me 8|

Oh yeah, another late birthday greetings for a certain someone.

Please don't kill me my lord I beg of you. I haven't watch the 2nd part of HP7 and I haven't marry Gokudera yet and I haven't found Atlantis and--
