Type: Song
VSynth(s) Featured: Kasane Teto (with Hatsune Miku as backing in 'Reckless Abandon')

Reccer's notes: Decoyman1200 is a producer who dares to ask: what if Teto was just some dude from the American Midwest on the early internet? In addition to the masculine (and "naturalized," for lack of a better word - photo!Teto has brown hair and photo!Miku's cyan hair is a dye job with black roots showing in "Reckless Abandon", and Teto's website gif avatar in "Watchacallitsname" is a redhead with freckles and green eyes) presentation in the PVs, this producer tunes Teto's voice lower than most.

(On a song specific note, Reckless Abandon's lyrics are describing a textbook bipolar manic episode.)

I did find a Japanese commenter asking for a translation of the lyrics to "Reckless Abandon" so they can sing along. If anyone knows how to translate between English and Japanese, it might be nice to lend them a hand.

Sharing this because 1. I randomly remembered it, and 2. I think it looks nice, so I will put in on my website where I put things that are nice. (Sounds nice too; not the kind of music I usually listen to but it's definitely a song from 9 years ago. Nostalgic!)



Unrelated, but since I'm here and I'm thinking about it

VSynths featured: GALENAIA, HXVOC


Reccer's notes: Been on an Eclipsed Sounds kick lately, so I took to YouTube and struck gold. Producer absolutely NAILS the early-mid-2010s Euro-symphonic metal Napalm/AFM Records vibe, right down to the "Now available on X streaming services" plug nailed in the middle of the lyric video with the single art next to it. A+ usage of both of the voicebanks featured. I always thought they'd make a killer symphonic metal combo together, and they sure do!

(note to mod: put in new chara tags for GALENAIA and HXVOC, plsandthankyou~~)

elyusion: (snowflake challenge)

Snowflake Challenge: A pair of ice skates hanging on a wood paneled wall. Pine boughs with a few ornaments are stuffed into the skates.

Challenge #14: Promo/Rec List

1. Read my Angelique primer *cracks whip*
2. Maybe consider reading whatever this is, although I will be cleaning it up and putting it on a shrine page later.
3. If you're super bored, my response to challenge #9 ended up being a rec list of new canons to get into as well, in a way.

I had planned on doing this on From Far Away if I had my volumes on me by the time this challenge came around, but I still haven't gotten my book collection back. So it looks like I'm defending a ship. If you like Fire Emblem: Three Houses.... hiiiiiiiiii ♡ My name is Chris and I think FeliBern is great.

Challenge #10: Big Mood (Board)




じゃじゃーん!
Angelique is very much a pink game, but the moodboard is blue (and green. 青い?) because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it ended up that way somehow. Rosalia representation I guess! I hope it gives a good impression of the games :)

Explanation
I was specifically thinking of the first game. There are pretty space pics because it's about becoming Queen of the Cosmos, hearts because it's a dating sim unless you have other priorities, Cupid because the act of saving your game is represented by an angel baby recording what's happened for you, columns because of the borrowed Greco-Roman aesthetics popular in shoujo manga at the time, a white feather because the people of your continent see you as an angel (guy who can't shut up voice: in fact, the child you first meet and acts as your oracle says that [y/n, the default being Angelique] in their language means "angel," so he calls you Angel/Tenshi-sama ^__^), and the lake and park because those are 2 of the 3 possible date locations in that game. The third is your bedroom (sounds crazier than it is), but I could find no pictures that look like the player's room.

Credits
The middle image was drawn by Yura Kairi (who is the character designer and usual illustrator for the original games) and depicts Angelique herself. The full image is super cute, iirc the bottom third is my header on Discord (but I don't have Nitro right now soooooo I can't be sure). Our beloved rival Rosalia is the girl floating next to Angelique, by the way.

All the other pictures I got from Unsplash: x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, and x.

This whole thing was made using CollaGen. Let me know what you use to make moodboards? I've actually never made one before today.
