(Holy Arceus, what have I done? I'm surprised I didn't break PC's VM word limit! ;~;)


Isn't it just? :) I can listen to this track quietly on loop for ages because it's very soothing and helps clear my mind. There's an ethereal, almost ghostly quality that I love so much. It feels as if a faint glimmer of light glows in my soul, embodying an indescribable emotion that's so delicate, it shatters every time I reach toward it. I think this is a part of me that's on the brink of being forgotten. Something that would otherwise complete me... and like you said, breathe life into my long-lost dreams. Actually, whenever I listen to this track, my mind immediately conjures up images of sunlight streaming through vibrant green leaves, and in that moment the world seems peaceful, flooded with light and an unbreakable quiet. But it's lonely too; a loneliness that is somehow safe and warm. No troubles, no fear, no encroaching dusk. Just the trees... All this comes together to remind me that my purest form of happiness lies in surrounding myself with nature. Only... the trouble is finding the time to simply... be.

Anyway, I'd better stop myself there, ahaha. I really like your interpretation! While similar to how the song makes me feel, it's different from my actual perspective of the song... which is another thing entirely. :P I hope you don't mind me elaborating, though I'll try not to go off on a tangent again. xD You had this wall of text coming. ;D

In my view, this track expresses life in the way of a train. You're oblivious to where the tracks may lead you, never knowing if the next stop is yours, and it seizes your heart with a mixture of excitement and dread. The clash of these two emotions feels similar to homesickness, so strong at times that it's enough to make you cry. As the scenery rushes past (in many cases, never changing), you feel as if life is moving on faster than you're willing to let it go, and though you may look back in the hope of catching one last fleeting glance, it disappears further into the distance. Once you do look back, it becomes so hard to tear your gaze away. Instead, take a moment to close your eyes, strengthen your most treasured memories, and pocket them in the deepest recesses of your heart. The tracks will only carry you forward, so forward you must go.

...So much for avoiding the tangent. xP I didn't want to cut anything out because it's all central to how The Sixth Station makes me feel, and why I chose it as my leitmotif. Writing this down has helped a lot. I don't know what with, but it's helped. Oh, I also had the song on loop the entire time I was writing this, to get me into the rhythm. :D


Bawwww. :( I know what you mean, though—I was struggling so much with indecisiveness that I just thought "what the heck?" and chose The Sixth Station. xP Otherwise I might never have gotten back to you, hahaha.


Hmm, if I accept that ice cream my leave might turn into a permanent one. xD


Ah, actually it doesn't have voice acting—hopefully I didn't get your hopes up. xD It's just the accents are written reeeeally strongly sometimes, especially the cockney ones (they can be hard to read with all those apostrophes and broken words!), but it's fun because there's a good variety, including British, German, Italian, Romani, Spanish, French... even Texan accents! With more to come, I should hope! But yeah, they still get stuck in my head. xD

The player and party members aren't customisable, which is okay because they have more character and a lot of interaction. ;) However, they do change their outfits depending your vocation, so there's that! Not to mention the weapon they're carrying.


You mean "threaturning". ;D Actually the tougher version is called Frighturn... why Dragon Quest why? Heh, I love the goofy monster designs in this franchise! Speaking of which... OMG the Slimes that talk are soooo unbearably cuuuute! <333 xD

But anyway, you know how sometimes the amount you love something isn't fully realised until you've been apart from it for a while? Having just gotten back into Dragon Quest VII after a two-week pause, it dawned on me how much I adore this game. :D There's a slow buildup but it's honestly so good and I'd definitely recommend it!


Hey, glad you liked them! Definitely agree with you here... although I don't think IX's town theme can be beaten, if I'm honest. xP When Days of Sadness plays, you know there's a town in need of saving, haha. Sometimes with an awfully sad story. ;__; (Love the Digimon track, by the way!)


aaaaa, now I'm going to spend every minute wondering who this mystery character is! But come to think of it, I guess Dahlia didn't seem the type to knit pink sweaters... xD So it has to be his mum.


Alright, thanks for the heads-up! When I get around to watching it, I'll be sure to keep an open mind. :P Sometimes it is necessary to push through at least a season before a series/anime gets good. Of course, I'd say most people (including me a lot of the time, haha) don't bother if the first couple of episode leave a bad impression. It's a shame because so many series get dismissed this way! :(

I'm keen on watching it anyway, if the soundtrack and art style are anything to go by! :D


The first one is so cheerful and sweet! Is Nobuo Uematsu really the composer? Because he's AMAZING—my second favourite after Hisaishi, in fact! :D


Yeah, that really hit home for me, actually... Not just the song but your description. ;__; The truth is, I go through a lot of depression in August. It's sort of an anniversary effect that's been happening since 2014. In 2017 it was so bad that I cried louder and longer than I ever have in my life, which is strange because the week prior was so much fun. However, a good dose of nature and the company of my animal friends soon put me right again, hahaha. As always. :')

(And music too, of course! I did enjoy the second track!)

Things have been okay, if a little slow. But no news is good news, right? How are you, buddy?

IKR THIS WAS ACTUALLY A COMPLETE ACCIDENT. I was just trying to emulate Link's colour scheme in my profile pic lmao.

Thanks dude!

Interesting question! I never really thought about what my personal theme would be. :o It's difficult to say for sure, but the first track that comes to mind is "The Sixth Station", so my gut feeling must be telling me it's right! At least during this stage of my life. I'm listening to it now and it's certainly stirring a lot of deep-seated memories and emotions... Oh, but what about you? What would yours be? :P

And thanks! Just another day and I'll be free of studies for a bit. :D One thing though... I won't be fully active again until around the 25th, as it turns out. :'( No cause for concern. It's just my hands will be full until then. ^_^;

(I'll come back with a response to your other messages!)

Lycan hasn't been around the last 2+ days but I'm looking at our current roster of Pokemon and Priscilla and that Nuzzle attack is going to be extremely useful. Especially if she teams up with L'Belle's Yamask that knows Hex(deals double damage to targets affected by status condition). Its too bad we used the Leppa Berry in Battle#1. Would come in very handy with those two and myself with Will-O-Wisp.

Rather than muk up your new club, I'll simply go here instead by stating the following:

Oh? Haha thank you! :D

Ohh, by the way, I started Dragon Quest VII! So far it's every bit as delightful and charming as I hoped it would be. :) Not to mention riddled with strong dialects, all of which get stuck in your head and make you think in that accent, hahaha! The monsters are quite... entertaining, to say the least. xD You know mimic chests? Well there's a variant of them in the game, except it's a pot, and it's called "Urnexpected". Ugh, I cringed so badly at that! xD

Most importantly, one of the first lines Kiefer (your blonde sidekick) says is: "Not that I'm scared or anything." omg haha. <33

Anyway I totally had to share some of its music with you!! The intro kicks off with the iconic Overture and then goes straight to the Intermezzo. A few of the songs that really caught my attention are the ones I listed below! Listen at your own leisure. :D

:t037: Wake up you feckless Rowlet. Time for you to shine against the enemy. You have a decision to make but if you want to survive the rest of the battle, you're going to have to do some serious damage against that boss. Hit will be lending you a hand but due to its position in the water, its going to be Flying Types that take this boss down as Rinnia is away from the conflict zone and no one else can lend effective support from the shoreline without giving an advantage to the enemy.

TY REVISE <3

Yep and I seem to recall you stating that you had a sleep Gif all prepared for this too so where is it?

Also it'd be totally awesome if you could cover for me by updating the Ice Cream Blowout scoreboard, but that will only be necessary if I can't make it tomorrow! So... don't you want to be awesome? ;)

(Although I understand you must be really busy with studies! I'd say good luck with them but I have every faith you'll do great without it! :D)

Round 6 now up and you get to sleep more. Yay!

Whyyyy? One little Reviser Seed, and you just can't let it go. ;__;

N-not that you deserve it or anything, but here, have a song! I've rewatched the film recently and this is probably my favourite track. :D It's a softer version of the main theme! One of Joe Hisaishi's more well-known compositions. ^_^

Hey you, don't forget to post The Wonder Trade Machine and Two Truths and a Lie! ;)

Round 5 now live. Wake up you lazy Rowlet :P What do you think of my move suggestion for our Alola starter?

So what do you want to do in Round 5. I'm temoted to suggest Elwind sprint to K5 since that's the spot Salandit would have to move to use Ember on Mags. It's also protected from any Bug Type moves from Karrablast unless it knows something that can hit it from across the tree(aka a Rn 2 Move). Salandit could still hit Elwind with Ember from M5 or move to M9 and Attack Rinnia with Poison(fortunately it's Attack Power was reduced). Either option has an unfavorable outcome unless he gets lucky and poisons Rinnia(we have no Antidotes).

Also what cracked up RNG do we have. Felix did as much damage as Hit... I don't know what to expect anymore from Attack outcomes.

fam.

After you attack Murkrow, I'd head South to engage the Bug and Grass Types down there with your Flying moves. After I heal to 19 hp, I may move down there too if I'm in range to do an Ember Attack. What do you think of my idea regarding Glacier?
