Time for some anibloggerality:

Munto sucks as of episode 7; Kyoto Animation turned the once-intriguing Yumemi into a puddle of moe moe jelly and basically sexified everything. lelangir approved; I just want more Gass. Too bad the guy’s dead because he finished pumping his gas. Har. Har. All he wanted to do was BANG BANG take your akuto. *badabum tshhhhhh*

Clannad After Story’s ending is officially balls, I don’t care what the game-playing purists say. Maybe it’s a good adaptation. A good adaptation of shit is still shit. I’m not saying Clannad’s shit, I’m just saying that this scenario is possible. I do know that the execution viewed objectively was weak, and I do know that the ending felt like Mai Hime 26. Only this time there was no Mashiro-chan to fix things, just a loopy plot that somehow had something to do with some nonsensical dreamscape that just didn’t make sense. Also Fuuko is Fffffffffffffffffffuuko. There—you got it, the invective I promised not to deliver.

Anyway, since that’s all the anime I’ve watched recently, I guess I’ll move onto juicier topics like my life. (I’m just too squeezable for my own good. Some might even call me ‘fruity.’)

Yesterday I helped SAKI relocate her bunnies to a new home, if you know what I mean. You probably know what I mean because I mean what I’m saying, and words are words. Which have meanings. Yeah. There was lots of bittersweetness for various reasons, but mostly it was a good day. I read the first chapter of Twilight whilst lingering at SAKI’s place and I must say, it’s a Shaft production waiting to happen. The sickening overabundance of adverbity is not so dissimilar from Shaft’s overabundance of Photoshop filters—meaningless, trite, a disguise that obfuscates none of the shittiness beneath the underneath.

Ate some delicious curry chicken katsu for lunch (apparently, SAKI’s family is more weeaboo FUCKING AWESOME even than I, and as such eats Japanese foods with more regularity than I—which is to say, more than once a year at anime conventions), which was accompanied by several doses of “oh my god I need to not laugh my food across the table.” I hummed some Loituma and got someone else at the table to struggle against the urge to laugh food across the table, and just now I broke the limit of cluttery anti-flow a lolikit can inject into a single sentence and it just keeps going oh my god I’m going to turn into Faulkner at this rate can you believe it? Tick-Tock.

But enough about yesterday—which concluded with a slew of torrenting and taquitos—and onto today. Because apparently, I’m just blogging my life here now or something.

This morning, I attended my philosophy lecture (History of Modern Philosophy, as you might recall from my course list; currently we are studying some B.S. Ethics), and for the first time in a long time I doodled something in my notebook that wasn’t abominable. Well, it might be abominable, but I was not abominated by it. Maybe my standards have fallen. Maybe I was just happy.

After that, I met up with a high school friend back from college on spring break. This was immensely pleasurable, as I missed this friend dearly. She noted that I was more comfortable in my outgoingness than I used to be. This may be the result of my time stuck in a cubicle last semester, or it might be the result of some decking action.

Speaking of decks, could I get some WOWers to level for me? Hurr hurr hurr.

I ate lots of pizza in the company of good friends and then I went home to mom to shit out half my fullness and sleep off the other half. Finally I made it back to the dorms, a place I’d been avoiding for a week as I tended my cat for my out-of-town father, unpacked ten gallons of clothing and damp towels, thought briefly about the fact that I hadn’t watched anime in weeks and how glad I was that I had no idea what the fuck was going on in the aniblogosphere, discovered that ghostlightning’s illustrious blog had attained the coveted 100th post, cursed my fate for now knowing some of what was going on in the aniblogosphere, and subsequently shut myself out of my dormroom, sans computer, in a frantic search for SAKI, who had similarly secluded herself away from a computer.

Apparently, she was in the library stacks on campus, in the deepest and darkest corner of the trollbooth, drawing ambiguously gay porn.

… I love my life.

EDIT: yes, yes, I’ll post her drawings, up in the Rule 34 section, once I feel giving. Right now, I’m not sharing. Use comes before generosity. Now to go fap to my potentially female self…

Right now it seems I’m prioritizing my work on this over more serious writing, so please reward my efforts with helpful feedback :)

You can ask Jason Miao for a sign.

So yeah. Please, download this and test it out. Even if you’ve played previous versions. There’s a lot of new content, save games from previous versions should still work, and Skip Mode should remember what text you read in previous versions (it does for me).

Again—I don’t have character art, and I likely won’t ever if someone doesn’t contribute it. There will be credits. There probably won’t be payment. I want this to be an open “resource” for the aniblogosphere. So that people can say “I see what you did thar” and make their own VNs. Yeah.

Art? Contribute it.
Music? Contribute it.

I’m focusing on writing, and throwing in cop-out backgrounds where I can.

Thank you for your time!

Now for some random whoredom:

• a post of mine has been published on Oi, Hayaku! I’m linking this not only to get you guys to read my post, but also to get Riex to see this post. He’s a lazy fellow who only checks trackbacks. Lamer.

• lolikitean is now a word. ghostlightning continues to rock my socks.

Major change not already mentioned: there is now a big warning below the the first menu. It should properly instruct players of the importance of the first choice. I added this message because a lot of people seem to have been clicking “Dude, you’re gayer than Baka-Raptor” button for the lulz. These people then complain about how gay the game is. With this menu, you select CCY’s sexuality.

Random Thought: should I begin producing more organized changelogs? ;)

For those bitching about lack of visuals: there are now six unique backgrounds!

For those bitching about undeveloped plot: you can now **spoilers** with **spoilers**!

EDIT: Sixten has blogged about this project. He was ruefully wrong in many of his assertions—I would guess he didn’t play today’s release before posting—but it’s still an incredibly kind gesture. I appreciate the attention. I also appreciate the awesome art.

First thought "eroge material" – it’s like the visual novel that spawns visual novels or something… "Make CCY Make a VN! – the VN" – but like hell I’m Rule 34‚Ä≤ing myself, textually or otherwise.

And little did he know. What was said. Would come to pass.

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

I present to you: Version 0.01 of CCY-senpai wa 17sai, a brand-new Visual Novel starring CCY. It’s not very visual yet, as I began this endeavor about three hours ago and have not made any art for it. Also, there’s no sound. But there’s some text. Enjoy the text. Salivate at the possibilities.

I figured out how to style text!

And if you like the idea and spirit of this project—help? Please? Needs art and music. Feedback needed desperately as well.

P.S. I have not edited the appearance of the game at all; I am using a template provided by Ren’Py. Feedback on aesthetics or layout not necessary. Thx.

As I have given myself over entirely to the whoreside, I am now going to be pimping my lolikit Gallery. Any and all fanart of the lolikitsune character/avatar/mascot (whatever you want to think of it as) will be placed on that page. Four things to remember: lolikit’s sex is ambiguous on purpose, lolikit is not necessarily a girl; lolikit always makes a :3 face, until further precedents are set; lolikit can be colored in whatever way you want, there are no canon colors; and lastly, if possible, lolikit should be flipping off the camera.

Knock yourselves out!

Especially… (beware my mad powers of segue) anyone who wants to help CCY-senpai out with his latest undertaking!

	What undertaking?
	His aniblogosphere visual novel!
	Ehh?

Dat’s right.

CCY-senpai is going to be making a visual novel involving the anibloggers you all know and love, and it’s going to rock. He says he’s got grand ambitions, and that it’ll be on a larger scale than Ren’Ai Blogger. In order to accomplish his dreams, reach his goal, and say “gao” for the eleventh time, he’s going to need help from the community. So decreeeth the lolikit.

HOLD IT! I haven’t even decided to go through with this yet!!

Hah! Silly Senpai, I’m making this post in order to force you to do it! Just think about it: once the aniblogosphere as a whole learns of these fanciful ideas, it will band together to become a demanding wannabe consumer—in short, it will thirst for your product. Driven by your greed for recognition, you will deliver. Then I (and my PR guy) will sit back and think to ourselves, “subete wa kukuku keikaku doori.” There will be much delicious caek, and Regional C.O.s around the mind world will fap it.

5:31:43 PM CCY: But hell, art and music are a problem for a different time
5:31:54 PM CCY: Mainly because I suck at those
5:31:59 PM lolikitsune: hahaha
5:32:00 PM CCY: But there seems to be enough talent
5:32:04 PM lolikitsune: there is

Creators of the ‘sphere, I implore you!

Pester CCY-senpai, molest CCY-senpai, rape CCY-senpai, whatever it takes. I want this VN to happen. I want it to exist. I want to be able to play as a faceless, nameless protagonist (Senpai: idea: the protagonist should be a long-time blog reader. First-time commenter. HAR HAR.), and get the polyamory ending with myself and Jason Miao. Think about it: lolikit x Jason x. Nothing better than that, right?

Actually… the possibilities seem very real, and quite—

Excuse me. I must tend to some biological needs right now. There will be more posts on this topic, that I promise. CCY-senpai needs to make this game, and for all of our sakes, we need to help him out. The first step is to convince him to go through with this, and the second step is to help him as he goes by contributing our talents to him.

That is all. My hands are needed away from the keyboard now.

As some of you realized, I made a bold move two posts ago. I drew up and posted my conception of lolikitsune, a maybe-trap-maybe-not loli with fox tail, giving an inelegant finger to anyone and everyone.

DiGiKerot was the first person to do the necessary: he drew fanart.

Following in his footsteps were anonymous and o.s.k., both of whom decided that Rule 34 is a necessary evil item. Both images are NSFW: lolikit rule 34 by anonymous, nanoha x lolikit by o.s.k.. Don’t get me wrong—being crossed with my favorite anime girl ever is not the worst thing that could happen to me. It’s just… Rule 34. lolikit. If you know me in real life, you’re gouging out your eyeballs.

EDIT: apparently, if you know me in real life, you’re drawing your own fanart.

EDIT 2: apparently, if you know me in real life, and if you’re totally fucked up, you’re… … I don’t know what you’re smoking, but whatever it is, it’s strong.

o.s.k. just did to me as Zero did to Orange-kun by writing a fanfic for Kyousora.com that involves Mizunashi Akari of Aria. Rule 14 has decimated my country, salted my fields, and yelled 187 on my mother-fucking corpse. For those unfamiliar with the navigation of Kyousora.com, basically what you want to do is this: click on the “YFR” link on the right side of the main page. Then look at the number in the upper or lower right-hand corners of the main box—it should say “X of 11. Refresh to view MOAR.” And yes, you guessed right—if you don’t land on #11 the first time, just keep refreshing until you reach it.

above pic slightly obsolete, shows “of 9″ instead of “of 11″ but otherwise accurate

o.s.k. is “orangesqueeze-kun.” o.s.k. may or may not be eligible to join the all-girls’ aniblogging round robin. o.s.k. seems to have made it his/her life-long mission to rape all the things I hold dear and precious. o.s.k. does not have a URI. o.s.k. may or may not be one of my whores. o.s.k. is not anonymous.
