necro-ing this thread OOOOOPS
 
I wanted to share my skincare routine since I've been kinda into that as of last year and this seems like the place to post it. First of all, I got into skincare after my visit in Japan last year when I tried a few products that basically changed my view on skincare. I never believed in skincare until after trying those products, which actually showed results. Since then I've been trying many different products, including delving into Korean skincare, but I later found out that I started breaking out to almost everything so I think I kinda messed up my skin.....But anyway, here's some of the stuff I use. I've been minimizing my routine for a while now. I have oily/dry/sensitive skin btw.
 
-in the morning I just wash my face with plain water
-tone my face with Secret Key Tea Tree Refresh Calming Toner
-moisturize my face with Chifure Light Milky Lotion
-also recently got SoonJung 10-Free Moist Emulsion which works just as well as a lightweight moisturizer
-i then use a sunscreen called Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Whitening Cream for when i go out, however it leaves a white cast so i'm probably gonna switch over to something else
 
-at night i use a Kose Softymo Deep Treatment Oil to remove makeup (which is basically just eyeliner) and dirt
-wash it off with Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser
-tone and moisturize my face with the products i listed above
-occasionally i use Rosette Cleansing Paste Acne Clear for when my acne gets bad, i avoid using it daily cuz it dries my face and breaks me out but it works really good at minimizing those annoying red bumps i get sometimes
 
So that's basically my skincare that has been working well for me lately. I'd still like to find a cleanser that does more than hydrate my face and yet doesn't break me out from all the stripping. Or just something gentle that helps with hyperpigmentation/acne scars/pores.
 
As far as fashion goes the colors I mainly wear are black and darker shades of red like maroon. I have some white, grey, and dull blue tops in my wardrobe as well. Otherwise that's basically it. I most likely will not wear any other color unless it's a comfy t-shirt, but I still would not wear anything that's mostly bright. I didn't really care for shoes before but I have about 5 pairs now, all of which are black. One of them is just mainly slippers tho. I wear are few accessories, always have a pair of earrings on and a thick plain silver ring on my right index finger. Occasionally I wear necklaces and bracelets rarely since I'm always in long sleeves.
 
The only makeup I put on is a thin black eyeliner, basically just on the waterline. And some foundation to cover some redness. I'd like to draw in my eyebrows since they're almost nonexistent but I'm bad at making them look natural. Plus I'm a bit lazy.
 
For my hair I find that Japanese hair products work the best for me. I remember having much softer hair from when I studied abroad in Japan for a year. Anyway, I've been using the Ichikami Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner lately and it makes my hair feel soft all the time. I also use Deuxer 3 wax to add some volume to my hair and then go in with a hairspray to 'kinda' keep it from moving. I still haven't found a hairspray that actually works well. I'd like try out some Japanese hairspray products but they usually aren't available online.
 
Anyway, this post turned out rather long so OOPS, again. Tbh, I never really cared much about my looks until after I dropped out of college and started trying to feel happier about myself. I mean I still did the minimal stuff but never really poured much money into it until then. Guess some of it has to do with actually earning a constant income as well (although i'm currently back in school so *weep*).

I hate it when I leave games unfinished and then I try to come back to them months later and I've completely forgotten what was going on and how do I even play it and then I suck like a total n00b and get frustrated and just leave it unfinished forever
My situation with monster hunter world rn T_T

I second Sou-sama
 

oh this reminds me of how i was watching some gazette live with my friend who listens to vkei too (mostly 90s stuff) and we were like wtf ruki sounds so clean and hits every note and it's so close to the recording what's wrong with the guy lol
i don't remember which song we were listening to and this one doesn't seem to be something outstanding technically, but still it sounds very decent.

i also wish i could post emmuree's silence from xxx.paint it black, but its quality on youtube is crappy so let it be inori. sou's great live.
 
and since i'm #teamklaha here we go
 
also yomi has deep, powerful voice but he misses the notes every now and then.
this one's pretty good tho
 
and speaking of fainting on stage, i remember the same thing happened to gara but he couldn't finish the song, i was shocked to see something like that tbh. i don't remember which song or what dvd it was unfortunately.
 
 

Mako's voice is forever in my heart
 

these all literally sound like anime songs, boring

Already dropped them, however is such a waste to see Yoshiatsu stuck in this clown-kei shit concept,cuz he's an unique character in the vk scene.his cleans and his growls both are flawless. He should be doing shit like NAZARE/DIMLIM and not that.

IM SO GLAD IM ABLE TO PUT A FACE TO YOUR ART??? I've seen the Takashi x Tomo piece floating around and I've always wondered who that was. God I love your art so much. I sent a follow on Deviantart!! Also I'd be interested in the link to the game too. It looks really cool.

lots of good bassists out there but i've always been very fond of the complex basslines by tsunehito (scissor, D) and naoki (jinkaku radio, the beethoven)
can't forget about yukke (mucc) either

I found out I was allergic to all dairy products the hard way. I was not always allergic to dairy, but when I was younger I remember not drinking a lot of cow milk and instead drinking a lot of soy or almond milk. No one really explained to me why, but they figured I had an intolerance to milk and it was better if I never drank it. But give me ice cream, cheese, yogurt, milk chocolate, or basically any dairy or dairy adjacent product and I would devour it. That's why it took so long for me to put 2 and 2 together.

I honestly blame the amount of stress my job places on me as well as one particular individual who was the straw that broke the camel's back. This woman could singlehandedly take my stress levels and triple it by just being around me and being her dumb, idiotic self. I think this set off some sort of autoimmune reaction in my body and now I can't eat dairy at all. I didn't realize this had happened for two years and food which I would once eat without a second thought was getting me sick. The problem with American processed foods is that milk is in everything. They'll straight up lie to you and say "no dairy" on the front and "may contain milk" on the back, or they think that if they call milk "whey" that it's not the same thing (it is).

At this point I have to explain the difference between lactose intolerance and a milk allergy because it is not the same thing at all. When I was younger, I had intolerance. I could drink a cup of milk and get a mild tummy ache. Now I have a full blown allergy and if I drink an entire cup of milk I'm vomiting and shitting my brains out for the next few hours. Intolerance is a reaction to the milk sugars. Allergy is a reaction to the milk proteins. Lactaid does not help because it is milk + the enzyme needed to break the sugars down. I have the enzyme but my body no longer plays well with milk proteins.

I suffered for about 2 to 3 years before a gastroenterologist shoved a camera down my throat (endoscopy) and saw what poor shape my stomach was in. GERD + UC and losing 45 pounds over 2 years was what it took for doctors to give me the milk allergy test, diagnose me as being highly allergic, and then telling me to change my diet up. But by this time the damage was done and now there are a lot of other foods and drinks that I cannot eat or else I will get sick. There's no real list now; I just have to eat everything and see how I feel.

Discovered this morning that alcohol is now off limits

Allergies are real fuckin scary. My grandma almost died when she was younger because she was under so much stress, her body started rejecting all sorts of food. She couldn't eat anything for a while and had to get an IV feed to get nutrients back into her body. I think this is something that runs in my family, like high cholesterol and an almost zen like tolerance for pain.

the song itself sounds alright but good god that PV is so goddamn ugly its giving √eight's 'we literally filmed this in our garage' PVs a run for their money, I get being low budget and all that but this is like middle school garage band-tier

peak anxiety is you avoiding to open an important email for days in fear of what's inside thinking you're gonna freak out from the amount of work you're given only to realize almost a week later that's it's barely anything and you can be done with it all in less than an hour. if only my mind didn't jump straight to the worst possible outcome every single time smh

i played the first one a long time ago and don't remember much but i'd love to replay it sometime!
grandia xtreme is the only one left i've still yet to play but i read somewhere that it was the worst in the series? i don't remember liking the third one too much when i played it so i'd probably say that my favorite of the series is grandia 2 as of right now. although i have a feeling it won't change since i love ryudo and millenia lol. not necessarily as a pairing but as the characters themselves.

i think i can already say that bad dream is my favorite off the album ❤️

New MV!
 
 

^LOVE the Grandia series! 2 is probably the best overall, tho the first is my personal favorite. I love the 90's adventure anime aesthetic mixed with ghibli tropes.
