AKUSAIMONTH: BERSERK Day 1: SET C - “An Eternal Memory” (Prologue)

Dear Aoba,

I love you for your strength. For being strong enough to be there for others, even when your own world has fallen to pieces. Strong enough to touch people’s hearts, to see them for who they are – and to save them. To accept all of yourself, even the parts that frighten you. And to stay kind at heart, no matter the circumstances.

I hope that one day, I can be as strong as you.

"If I had a heart, this would be where I'd die of laughter." 19 Days left.

Because this is one of my favourite cutscenes. It features: - Naminé. - Naminé blurring. - Saix. - Riku. - Riku's theme. - Saix' superawesome dodging backflip. - Saix being pinned to a wall. - Saix grinning. - Kairi defying Saix basically the same way she defyed Axel and I like every parallel between those two. - Kairi being actually cool. - the image of Saix rolling over the floor laughing his ass off. It's just so wrong.

"Sure hope you don't have friends like him." 11 Days.

The look on Lea's face in this scene hurts my physically. It gives me the urge to apology and the despair of knowing I wouldn't be able to do it. I love and hate this scene so much, haha.

YESSSSS!! THIS!!!

Things that make me feel like posting on Tumblr is actually still worth the effort:

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your tags, they make my day!! <3

So, I had been wondering about a ship name for these two. Maybe NightWeight, after their surnames. Or Jorsa, like a mixup of their first names.

Turns out, we’re apparently going with their callsigns. So, SpinFace is it. 

Honestly, this is simultaneously the best and the worst name ever and I love it.

I know people claim there’s no romance in Brandon Sanderson’s Skyward, but that’s not true. It’s just the most amazing and realistically written rivals to friends to lovers slow burn I’ve ever seen. 

Honestly, I just love Jerkface and Spin with my entire being. 

Aww, look what I just found! :D

I had totally forgotten about that sketch! But now, that I found it again, I remember drawing it. I was quite down back then, mainly because of all the stress from school (it was my final year and I had to do a really really big project, which kept me busy basically every free minute for the whole year). I started writing a list of all the things I would have wanted to do, but couldn't. (Drawing AkuSai was on it, yes.) Well, one day I just couldn't see that project or anything related to it anymore so I took a few minutes and did this fast sketch. And you know, it felt ... peaceful. Like a promise that all of this would end soon. It helped me a lot back then.

Ira suffers so much, he feels an immense guilt over his actions, still he carries on, because he knows (was led to believe) that this is the only way to save the world. Of all of the Foretellers, he's the most selfless. He consciously acts against his personal believes and wishes in order to fulfill the higher goal. He can’t even allow himself to feel anymore, because he knows, it’d break him.

… I wish he had someone who was there for him and gave him strength when he needs it. It’s so sad to see him like that.

AkuSaiMonth 2022: July 8 - August 7

Welcome to AkuSaiMonth! A month of celebrating AkuSai & LeaIsa! It's been a hard two years, but at least ASM is back, this time with a new host (and with permission of the original creator)!

AkuSaiMonth 2022 Bingo

Similar to 2015, we will be playing bingo again, but this time with a twist: The bingo cards are randomized! Every participant will have their prompts in 1 of 30 different arrangements!

Where can I get the Bingo Card?

To claim your personal AkuSaiMonth 2022 Bingo card, click >> HERE! << Using the link on the same device and browser should (in theory) always lead to the same card. However, I would strongly recommend also saving the card by either using the print button on top or by making a screenshot.

Screenreader friendly bingo cards are available here: LINK. These are not randomized unfortunately, but you can still pick one (of three) at random! Please let me know if you run into any problems!

See the end of the post for a plain text list of the prompts in alphabetical order.

And here is one example Bingo card: You can use this one as well of course, but give the randomized cards a chance!

How does it work?

The goal is to get one "Bingo!" during the month (Jul 7 – Aug 8) by filling 5 prompts in a row, column or diagonal. 

This could mean one post every week, for example:

Post 1: Friday, July 8 (IsaLea Day)

Post 2: Saturday, July 16

Post 3: Saturday, July 23

Post 4: Sunday, July 31

Post 5: Sunday, August 7 (AkuSai Day) -> Bingo! <3

You are of course allowed to do less than five prompts (one is perfectly fine! <3) or even fill out the entire bingo card (I wish I had your time management skills)!

I love Birth by Sleep just so incredibly much <3 And this was probably the most awesome finale I have ever seen in any game. I played the end so often that I soon knew all the lines by heart – and I had a great time annoying everyone who had just a remote idea of what Kingdom Hearts is with my immitation of Master Xehanort. Ah yes, good old times. xDDD
