@stark-softness @herzblutrose @freelychaoticbeliever @1-hat @awkward-red-tail @novas-bitch

I just want you lot to know that your posts are amazing and I love you. This is an appreciation post for you.

Oops, it’s been a while. No, I’m still not dead, I just ... kind of forgot to post my art here as well. I’m currently more active on Instagram  (-> https://www.instagram.com/herzblutrose/)

I’m scheduling some drawings now though. I think I’ll post one drawing a day,  so you won’t get 15 posts at once shoved into your face.

Thanks for sticking around!

I was tagged by @heartlessfujoshi​! Thanks!!

1 Nicknames: Dia (It took years to get people to call me that), before it was Mizi

2. Zodiac sign: Taurus

3. Height: 165 cm

4. Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw

5. Last thing I googled: smt4 wind turbine (i’m working on the challenge quests …)

6. Favorite musicians: Imagine Dragons and Revolverheld <3

7. Song stuck in my head: The Git Up by Blanco Brown

8. Following: 170

9. Followers: 448 (most of them are probably porn bots though … x’D)

10. Do you get asks?: Unfortunately not :’(

11. Amount of sleep: Ideally about 7 - 7,5 hours. But it actually varies between 5,5 and 9 hours.

12. Lucky number: 7 and 87 (hm, I wonder where the second one is from?)

13. What are you wearing?: sweatpants and a PJ shirt

14. Dream job: Something where I can keep learning new things. Something challenging. Something where I can manage my time to still have enough time for my hobbies.

15. Dream trip: A trip through Japan.

16. Instruments: I’m not talented at music, I’m afraid. I learned to play the recorder as a kid, but I don’t think I was any good.

17. Languages: I speak German and English, but I also know a little bit of Italian and Japanese. The first three make a pretty good combination, so if I have to, I can also read similar languages like French or Spanish or Dutch.

18. Favorite songs: Like 30 by Imagine Dragons. Way too many. I’ll pick 5 that I have a special connection to.

Only – Imagine Dragons

Something Just Like This – The Chainsmokers & Coldplay

Song 4 u – Ayumi Hamasaki

Sprinter – Kalafina

In The Shadows – The Rasmus

19. Five random facts:

1. I have four younger siblings (I’m the oldest) who are all taller than me, making me the smallest person in the family.

2. If there’s a TV playing anywhere in the room, I physically cannot concentrate on anything else anymore. I don’t have any problems listening to audiobooks while working on drawings or cosplay though.

3. I’ve been organizing a manga/anime/japan convention in my country for two years now, currently starting into year three. It’s small (about 1000 attendees), but still a lot bigger than we expected in this rural area.

4. I’m a happy crier. When somebody surprises me with something nice, i WILL absolutely start to cry.

5. My most priced possession is the scale figure of Ludger Kresnik from Tales Of Xillia 2 that my siblings got me for my birthday in 2017.

20. Aesthetic: Roses (absolute peak in combination with swords). Also stars and space.

I’ll tag @miramaare, @sacredmoonrising and @ignisfavilla. If you feel like it?

By the way, I’ve had an Instagram account for a few months now and I finally offically opened it yesterday. So if you want to follow me over there:

https://www.instagram.com/herzblutrose/

Who knows, maybe I’ll use this opportunity to be a little more active on both platforms?

So yeah, this is me. Come visit me at @schluesselschwert if you feel like it. The blog is sfw and runs on a queue.

Just a warning beforehand though: It's a mess. I have waaay too many interests. I made this blog as a way to organize my likes and to add little comments on other people's works without being pushy.

So, if you happen to be in the same mess of fandoms I am or just want to see whether I'm still alive, that would be an option.

I hope all of you have a wonderful day! See you soon!

Just to make sure that you know: My main is @herzblutrose. 

I’ve had some mutuals interact with me on this blog and I just want to make sure you know who you’re dealing with in case you didn’t already. There was some reason for trying to keep this blog and my main separate originally, but it was a really stupid one. Honestly, I feel a little embarrassed/guilty for not saying anything sooner… I hope no one feels offended or anything and I’m really sorry of you do.

Just some proof that I’m still alive. 

I’m sorry for just letting akusaimonth pass, but I just didn’t feel like it.

I want to finish this year’s asm later on … and I actually also want to finish the 2015 one before KH3 comes out. Until then, thank you for sticking around.

Norted self-portrait to hide how terrified I am right now.

It’s so much better to joke about being turned into Xehanort, than to imagine all the reasons why my left eye may be changing it’s colour and what the strange, growing shadow on my throat is.

W . I . P

Just thought I’d show you what I’m spending my free time on lately. Still so much to do!

So, when I’m studying and Schlüsselwortheuristik (keyword heuristic) suddenly becomes Schlüsselschwertheuristik (keyblade heuristic), then I guess it’s time to go to sleep.

Thank you all very, very much! :’) I know 100 (or 113, which is the actual count at the moment!) is not much compared to other people’s blogs, but it feels so much for me! I’m so glad there are so many people interested in my stuff, even when I have those huge breaks, where I’m just gone for weeks.

Really, thank you all for your support!! (This was planned as a counterpart to this and actually for when my follower count would reach 87, but that happened way too fast then. ^^” Like, 5 days later.)

78 Followers! SEVENTY-EIGHT!! (° A °)/ Wow, I never thought I'd really get to that number..! x//DD (let's see if we can make that 87? xDD) No, really, you and your notes and nice little notices/tags are what keeps me drawing! Thank you so much, all of you! <3

That's the place where I live. Looks cute from up there, doesn't it? When I look out of my room's window, I can see up to the exact place I stood when I was taking this photo.

It's nice to see things from a different angle from time to time.

If you were wondering what I was doing this last week: I sold my soul to Satan once again in order to get those two cosplays done. And on the weekend I went to a con with my (twelve year old. Yes, TWELVE. Look at her, she's HUGE.) sister :D (the second youngest ... I've got four younger siblings @A@)

One day, I will finally manage to start earlier ... >___< (I mean ... my Astrid Cos was done in two days ... well, maybe three if I'd be very strict.) Then I wouldn't be stressed for days. Then I would have time for breaks and a healthy portion of sleep, and I wouldn't forget half of the costume at home <_<"

This was actually a gift for my sister. The cosplays and visiting the con, I mean. She had to win a "bet" first, namely: She had to do without sweets or sweet drinks or very fat food for the whole summer vacation (that lasts for two months here.) And well, she won. :) I don't care for any "beauty standards", but she was really getting into a weight-, and therefore a healthproblem and she definitely needed a push into a different direction. Wheter it helped or not ... well, we'll see.

Either way I am really proud of her, because she proved a whole lot of willpower in those two months, and that is definitely important just as well :)

Anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating – think again.

The irony that it took two life ruiners in order to get my life straight again.

(or: when crying over a fictional friendship helps you to somehow save an almost lost real friendship.)

I just can't believe what an idiot I was.

I drew that while I was waiting for the admission test for university to start. It's on the back of a bus ticket, I didn't have anything else with me at the moment. (because ... you're not allowed to have anything with you, except food, something to drink, pens in black and blue and your wallet. Oh and single tissues of course. Very important.) I wanted to draw Saïx with a ponytail for quiet some time and that was somehow the perfect opportunity x'DD (it somehow felt right? xDD)

Well, the reason why I am uploading that now is ... I GOT A PLACE AT UNIVERSITY! Which means, once I inscribed on Monday, I will officially be a student of psychology! Yay! :DDD (I actually wanted to do that ever since I was ... twelve? thirteen? fourteen? x'DDD)

I will actually go to university ... haha, I am really happy :'D

"Come on, Isa, don't make a face like that. ... We're going to be alright, I promise."

Small thank you picture for all of you wonderful people who liked my last post @//u//@ I really didn't expect to get notes on that one. Don't know, somehow every single one of them feels like "Hey, it's good to have you back!" and no matter if that's what you meant or not, it still feels great and I love you all for that feeling x'D

Seriously, THANK YOU.

I'm not dead

And to proof that I have a WIP of my actual AkuSaiMonth (that is long gone, but who cares? xDD) day 22 fill for you!

(it's actually almost done, just needs a bit more ... finetuning. I love coloring with crayons (or colored pencils? I'm still not sure how to call them ö_ö), but it always takes me quiet some time.)

Nah, seriously, sorry for being so inactive, I'm quiet surprised that I still have that many followers (even more that I had before actually x'D)

I'm a bit busy lately, summer's over so now I've got time for conventions, which means, I've got to finish my cosplays x'D (I still need to do the Deadly Nadder costume I promised to my sister and the fitting Astrid Hofferson for me until mid october @_@")

My main problem though is that my Photoshop broke down. I got a bluescreen and now it's acting like I never activated it in the first place and when I'm trying to open it, it's just telling me that it's going to install the test version, Yeah great, thank you. (I am now officially desperate enough to use PS Elements on the PC in the hotel I'm working to edit my pictures; i just can't upload any unedited pictures =_=" My pride won't allow it)

Once I solved that problem there will be more pictures again, promise.

Guess who was at gamescom '14

and played Kingdom Hearts 2.5? :D

(under the cut, because this will be a long post with pictures)

Yep, I went there. Only on thursday though, I had to work on friday evening. So basically kittendough and I drove 6 hours to Köln (starting at thursday, 4 am), went to gamescom and drove 6 hours back home (with a break overnight; we slept in the car, it was like a roadtrip or something, really cool x'D).

If you ever wondered what sort of a person I am, I am the one who thinks 'Ah, I can't go there, it doesn't pay off for one day', then realizes two weeks before the event, when all the tickets are already sold out, that their favourite game will be featured there, who then gets tickets out of nowhere and goes anyway. If I want something bad enough, I won't stop before I found a way to do it. And I usually find one. xD

So well, kittendough and me somehow arrived at gamescom (as Isa and Isabelle (lol), already in our costumes)

And I was a really happy bunny when I found the Square Enix Shop

And even more so when I finally, FINALLY realized that we just have never been to one hall (everything was just so big, I've never been to any event of that size, so well, shit happens?) and that I didn't misunderstand KH13.com and that there really was KH 2.5 set out to play and ... uhm, i think I spent hours there, without realizing it. x'D

(sorry you random people on my photos)

and OMG it was just sooo cool *A* BBS is just really really great, and it was so cool to play it with a real controller and on a bigger screen and omg omg. I'm soooo looking forward to this game being released!! (still, I have no idea why they colored all the unversed new?) I realised once again though that I really don't like KH2 (and KH1) as much as the other KH games ö_ö The controls are just really annoying. But whatever :D There's a lot of Axel and Saix in this game so I'm looking forward to it anyway.

AND I met those really cool Axel and Roxas cosplayers there!!

The wig of the Axel was just so incredibly cool!!! (even more from the side than from the front) Well, as always when I meet good cosplayer of my favourite characters I was completely awkward and shy xDD That's really annyoing. >.<" Dammit. I completely forgot to compliment the Roxas for the wigs, because she styled both of them. Hopefully the Axel told her… :<

Of course I asked Axel to take a photo together with me, I was waaaay to shy though to ask for a hug or something like that, which would have been totally cool because AKUSAI!!!11!1! but whatever. xD I'm happy with this one as well.

haha, I'm small x'D Well, okay, I'm probably not thaaaat small compared to her, but her wig (and my way of awkwardly standing around) really makes it look like that. xDD

Oh, and look at what I bought! <3

An overexpensive phone strap of wonda-nyan (it was really expensive, but seeing this little dreameater always just makes me happy, so well, now I am always happy when I look at my phone x'D It was really worth it.) and the KH Piano Collection Field & Battle CD <3 You should hear the Lazy Afternoon OST, this version of it is really great!!

So, yeah, it was a really really great day, I'm so glad I did that :) Hopefully I have more time next year (or at least the year when KH3 will be shown there :DD), I'm looking forward to go to gamescom again.

i’ve been 20 for a week and for some reason this birthday is really hitting me. i’ve never really liked my birthday, it just feels like february is always the worst month of every year and my birthday is right in the middle of it. also it’s weird being 20, i know that’s not old at all but it’s weird to me.
