Social battery strengthening process + MO4 postgame diary

(Makes a disturbingly good death rattle noise) 

It's been a fun weekend.
Thanks to Christians (no, seriously, thank you Copts and whatever other type of Christian Egypt has) my psychiatry midterm gottttt...postponed!!! I KIND OF WASNT READY THANKS U GUYS. Should have doodled a Taiyo for the occasion or something...with Arakawa devouring some feseekh (fermented fish that is honestly kind of gross) in the back too. I just know she'd love it. She loves sushi. Just eat it with rice and you've got egyptian sushi. Has anyone else thought of that? If you're planning on bullshitting, let me in on it and give me some money for coming up with that idea, okay (smiles)
Tomorrow marks the first day of normal uni in...well over a month. I've had it so easy and also not that easy this term but that's, honest to god, enough uni talk, now...

HANGOUT #1: MALL WITH FRIENDS+ITABAG

We originally planned on doing this after our last midterm. We had no idea it'd be postponed (lol)
I took my itabag with me, too! It was nice. No one complained about it because I was demure and kind and didnt really make an effort to show it off. The only real awkwardness was when i had to do security checks and it'd make the metal detector go off and i'd have to show the badge side to the old security lady and she'd be like ah.....ok and I'd just yeah. Yeah it was, yeah, 

First stop...VS~~ the vibes of the store are so very immaculate, I love it...for some reason they still had that sign from the TWICE collab that happened god knows how long ago. I should get myself another lipgloss of theirs someday...
The sample they had of Bare Vanilla was empty (pien)

Cute Zara necklace. I don't like Zara that much because all their perfumes make me dry heave and their clothes kinda suck but my friend wanted to show us the perfumes which, as a result, made me dry heave,

Whatever this was...

Most of the trip was two of my friends looking for tights. I didn't take much pics (pien)...so now I'll dump significant events in text form:

~After a while, we went to Ikea for food. It tasted like utter garbage but it was nice having a ton of soda and the ice cream tasted good, so there was that. I'm glad my friend could have my leftovers, though!!

~At one point, some of my friends wanted to go to a pharmacy outside the mall. To pass the time, me and two more friends went to a perfume store. I smelled too much stuff but one thing that stood out was Hot Pink by Police because the bottle made me think it was from the 2010s, but it's apparently a very recent perfume (lol) there was this other one next to it that didn't smell as good. Hot Pink was nice, very sweet and gourmand-y, but the florals do help smooth it out a little so it doesn't end up smelling rotten.

~We ended the hangout off by me treating everyone to Cinnabon! All of us got huge cinnamon rolls for ourselves. Yummy...I love treating people T_T 

HANGOUT #2: THE DREADED FLEA MARKET

I went to Cairo Flea Market which is notorious for attracting the following, including but not limited to:
Men with allegations to their name
The alt community's most deplorable
Content creators that prooooobably have a bit of an ego problem
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I WANT NECKLACES LOLLLLLLLLL

...or so I've heard.

Honestly, it's not the type of event I'd go to on my own volition...but if it means fulfilling my wish of seeing more parts of Cairo, then I'm happy to go, really. I also went because all my friends were going (lol) I might go some other time, it was really fun...
There was one necklace I saw of an owl (the EXACT SAME as those 2010s owl necklaces everyone fawns over) for...
...seven hundred and fifty pounds...
Evil still exists. That was very evil

Yeah, I just got some cute necklaces. Pricey? Yes. Heat exhaustion? Very much so. Cute? Very cute. For how much i got, it's kinda worth it (lol) oh, and i got two bracelets!!!

My ladies...

Bracelets~~~ the one to the right was technically free. The stall owner wanted me to get something else since she didn't have enough cash to pay me back (lol)

I should've gotten some coffee while I was there...

Okayyyyy~~~ that's enough real life stuff, now...^~^ Back to my fictional world. My kissing Osar and harassing numas world
Truth is, I've made quite some progress~~~

Amidst all the BULLSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT going on with Osar, I really enjoyed learning more about Amber...he looks so cute and im so pissed this is the only proper CG we have of him. I can't wait for v6...more Amber more Amber more Amber

I find it really pathetic cute'n'moe that Axez made Amber a fan of his own music. How much of a fucking loser cute person do you have to be to do that >///<

This minigame was such a pain in the ass...
This was when shit got serious, and one of the last things i did before updating my MO4. I had no idea it was that easy, so i kept it on hold...

SUB3 EUROPEAN OJISAN GETS MOGGED BY TRUE GHASTLY YURIREIZIAN OUJISAMA (None of these words are in the bible. Or the Quran. Or just any form of religious scripture. Im disgusted)

If she doesn't terrify me like Eclair terrifies Marikin i dont want her

I support women's wrongs #MakeMoreMenFarmWeedPlantsForNoReason

I have to kill Fwancois I'm so serious I have to end his life 

This is so fucking funny. Im cunty look at my fish boy
Nyakichi is playing out to be a veryyyyy interesting character, i think she'll be more of an anti-hero? She seemed to want to help the numas out, but she seems to want them to be evil judging by how she (iirc) approved of or just was ok with Sigkin massacring the Gapanese empire. But the v6 teaser we saw seemed to have her be...kinda good towards Machika??? But at the same time...

Put that fucking steak down

After this, Kirimi talked about what he did to Machika, which, at best, implies (c/w torture and S/A) exposing her to torture, murder, things of that caliber, and at worst, her being raped or sexually assaulted...this fandom does not hate Kirimi enough I'm so fucking serious ;_; I mean, he doesn't have to be HATED just because he's a villain, but I just don't have it in me to find anything that makes up for or justifies the shit he does to others, regardless of whether they benefit him or not, and all it does in my eyes is diminish any motive he had in the first place. Something else that pisses me off is...whose side is Nyakichi even on???? She was like "what you did was seriously lameeeee you made that girl mentally weak and sad =3=!!" but it just didn't feel genuine. Does she have ulterior motives...
Maybe I'll talk a bit more in-depth about it in another post, my wording's getting weak T_T lol

Osar: ...So you really believe what I said just now?

Amber: Obviously. No matter what, I'm by your side, Osar. (kinda bullshitted this one so do correct me on the wording lol)

 

Osar: ...Thank you.

Theyre hyping each other up like two middle aged dudes should...except Amber's probably a bit younger...ANBAOSA AGE GAP YAOI?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! (Gets a boner)(Gets shot)

I'll take any Anbaosa crumbs i can get i love them so much ue ue ue ue

Tfw OTONANOONEESANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Andthenwehavetofightanotherfuckingrobotttttttttttttttttttt it was a shockingly fun boss fight...I should try it in Class Heat sometime soon

All that fucking traversing just for this
I did, however, record myself winning~~~ lol
Messiah Palace is such an annoying area...the BGM is good though

I REBUKE I REBUKE I REBUKE ASTAGHFIRULLAH GET AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FREAKKKK Ok he looks like kinda badass its just such a shame this is Kirimi

:( Adukin...

Thank you white woman. I still do not like you that much

Why are you doing that. This was a weird cutscene

I mean. Sure

MFW i actually do what i have to for once

OKAY I spammed so...I'll try and wrap it up (lol)

It was a very fun series of events, actually. The first half of postgame is essentially just Help Your Sexy Boyfriend In Yurireiz simulator so getting past that makes for a veeeery fun MO4. I'm very glad to be into such a fun game...
Now I'm stuck on the third and final Fwancois fight!!!! Ahhhh!!!!! 
I upgraded the wrong passives for Taiyo, so now I don't have nearly enough for God of Taiyo-ken...

Good night!

~Cat

I'm just a Maidoburger...

Today's midterm was probably the worst I've had in a good while, and it's all on me...
I forgot the odds ratio formula T.T The midterm's 9 marks T.T that question was 2 marks T.T i probably messed up an MCQ or two T.T T.T T.T T.T

Well, would a minipost suffice in these trying times? I haven't been doing much besides reading yuri oneshots and playing MO4 (as usual). I'm even listening to this slightly emotional song from the OST (the one that plays in that loooooooong looooooooong cutscene on Gapanese Hope Island while Sigkin's like u know jack i hate ur ass but ur nice actually) well ANYWAYS I'm stuck on Jeraldy. 

Today, I was so close to being able to give my Jack his ult skill...but...
...
I was off by ~3k EXP. 

You're telling me i was like 2 pasiri orders away from being able to give him his dumb fucking skill before one of the hardest main story fights... 
Nothing ever goes my way!!!!!!!! <- not really

This was really sweet to me...I'm assuming this was like, pre-MO3 events in the universe, judging by how Marikin's there but Sigkin isn't??? (lol)
Everytime I think about pre-MO3 Jack and Marikin my heart cries. They were such good friends...and I mean they probably still are and all but...I feel like, prior to the events of MO3, their relationship was a lot more bromance-y, in this pure and not so pure way? Bonding over their gacha games and how they'll never ever trust a white woman with D(eaeru)-cups again. It feels beautiful to me. I want a bromance like this...
MO2 and MO3 have this special feeling to them. I don't know if this was what was intended or if it's just me being autistic but it feels like Axez really did make those games from a (weirdly humorous) place of love. Plus the MO2 timeloop section BGM makes me emotional the more I listen to it. Just so you know my period just finished I think it's affecting my brain

If only you could fight alongside us...OSARU IF U CAN HEAR ME (banging on sowhonzan HQ doors)

I've been listening to that same BGM for half an hour I feel delirious.

If you have ever wanted an MO4 shipchart to make you wince i am here to help with that

AH! Speaking of ships...
Most of my OTPs are battle partners...but I can ship them with other numas too. I'm a good person.
I also really like Amber x Osaru...(the maidonium in the corner watching them go at it like rabbits: :slight_frown:)
I just think their dynamic is really nice...I'm also lowkey pretending to be Amber to cope with how much I want to be Osaru's fleshlight girlfriend but Amber is genuinely a captivating character nonetheless. I wanna know more about him...Axez-sama plz let him play a role in v6 plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz
Adujack was the first MO4 ship i got super attached to (IYKYK i did NOT play about adujack) so i still like them a lot today. I just think they're neat~~~ They probably have a cute Omar and Salma esque dynamic but without the bullshit. I'm very obviously bullshitting. I just think they are very very cute.
I could go on about all my OTPs here to make the post longer but...I'll probably make this a post on its own? (looks at you)(you seem uninterested)

Ah, I mentioned yuri oneshots.

There was one that I read, it was pretty weird.

If you know me, you know I've been on a yuri oneshot kick lately. One a day (or every few days, to be real...) to keep my brain from rotting. No change in my grey matter just yet though. That'll happen once I read Otome no Teikoku or something. Just give me a few months.

This one (Ovum by Matsumoto Michiyo) stood out to me, though. I really don't know how to describe it...but something about it felt a lot more rooted in reality. A pretty sad reality, but still reality nonetheless (lol), and somehow surreal at the same time. It's not a WOW read, but it was a nice shift from the usual bittersweet-lighthearted stuff I go for.
Just read it! It's like 20 pages. 

Today I had a dream I got my period but the stains were two small circles parallel to each other, as in, one to the left and one to the right...and of course I was in a huge apartment. Because where else would my dreams take place...my room was all pink and really big and spacious, there were butterflies on the walls. Ugh...

And now, it's time to study pathology.
...and to try and beat Jeraldy again

Thanks for reading this garbage dump of a post (lol) I've been spending my days by myself lately so...not much Henriette pics to share ^-^" I guess you'll have to deal with my rambling until my next outing...

Bye!

No good...

 

Genuine and not fake image of me getting harassed by my pharma+physio module

What's going on?!? My life right now feels like the Toy series of perfumes by Moschino because one of them smells ok but the rest smell like total shit. But you can always just...not smell them? Huh? What am i even talking about? I guess I just wanted an excuse to complain because I really hate Toy Pearl and i think the oregano notes make it smell like shit. I guess the perfume is a metaphor for (goes quiet) 

...Actually, I have a really huge crush on Uomo?. It smells so, so good. I want it...I'm glad that I was right about how good it smells. I couldn't stop sniffing it off of my hand. It's so fresh...i like the kumquat notes~~~ Pink Bouquet smells nice but the cinnamon makes the drydown GROSS and MURKY...which is such a shame because for the first five minutes it's on my skin it smells nice. Pre-Jeremy Scott Moschino perfumes are really citrus-y, aren't they...

Well, anyways, my midterms have started. Feels like just yesterday I was "studying" biochem, drawing ecchi instead of focusing on the doctor's (very inaccurate and misleading) revision tips...(sigh) it's still happening, just with Marikin Online 4 instead of drawing ecchi. I was a bit behind on studying because I was finishing up Chapter 10. Well, now I'm aaaaalmost done with the main story...I beat Jungle's Mom Robot. Wow if i was part of a massacre i would also cope by making a huge robot of my mom and killing the perpetrator of said massacre too. Good answer nephew

I also really can't stop thinking about that CG with Osaru in a sauna during that one skill Jungle uses...I'm going (huff)(huff)(Huff)(huff)(huff)(huff)(Huff) at my laptop screen and even though its just a teeny drawing of him it's everything to me. I love you Osaru. Please answer my 90 million phone calls

Hey...speaking of...does anyone know what the battle BGM for the Euphonium robot fight is...? It's a cool rendition of 2017over (<- hopefully im right lol) and i wanna know what it's called...

Ignore ugly Sigkin and focus on beautiful sexy Osaru or wait no don't focus on him he's mine #yumeshipper #selfship #nonsharing #riako #gachikoi

The things you can do with a bottle of iD and some hasheesh by your side...

Well~~~ I finished that pharma+physio exam...and i forgot what potency and efficacy meant...and I probably messed up some physio MCQs...BUT ITS JUST MIDTERMS BRO. I CAN ALWAYS DO WELL IN PRACTICAL AND FINAL ALSO BRO. ITS OK BRO. Uhm, I still have my chances, surely...???? 
The day of the exam was crazy...
It was originally supposed to be at 10:30 am, but that morning, it was raining...
Because of that, they postponed it to 12:30 pm, then to...12:00?!?!?
The whole time, the uni group chat was so irritated at how "oh, other unis cancelled their midterms for the day, why wont ours?!?" and all i could think was "meh lol at least i can get this exam over with~~". It was a strangely calm morning though...I got to go to my favorite cafe for the first time in forever!!! The new latte doesnt taste nearly as good as my dear salted caramel latte...but it was pretty ok nonetheless.
As always, I finished the exam with a partial headache that made my eye socket feel like it was absorbing all the sugar in my bloodstream and making me dizzy...and then I napped~ how nice...

Getting to meet my friends again...that was also very nice!!!! I had my umbrella with me and i stayed under it most of the time because even though it wasnt raining, the bench i was sitting on was in direct sunlight (lol) it was like a makeshift parasol. It was nice because my umbrella is this translucent one with teal polka dots...u_u I'm really happy to see them all again, they all seem to be doing so well T^T even if the vacation wasn't the kindest to them, they still seemed to be holding up well, and that makes me beyond happy...<3 
I had a deep philosophical convo with my friend about...
...
harapan...
I learned a lot about myself. Thank you.

That and also I kin assigned one of my friends Arakawa because she is lowkey Arakawa-esque. I also explained the concept of Maido and how it's an in-universe term for jerking off and how it's ALSO a healing skill so you heal by jerking off basically and it's really good this game is so reputable

Next up is microbiology. I didn't do much...that's tomorrow me's job i'm afraid (zzz) I did solve a few random quizzes though...

Now it's back to my priorities (Masry-kin online 4)

Do you agree with these headcanons? Should Axez make every numa Egyptian? Is Jeraldy Mazaingo my friend? Let me know what you think...

Good night!

Update + haul

 Ah, god, it's been forever!

...

I say that too much.

Anyways! Everyone's beloved, good, really nice, always right, not wrong at all CAT! is back in LA baby what's up. And...I gave this blog a new theme! I hope you like it. What? You like the old one more? (shoots you) Wrong answer 

Jokes aside~~~ I've been wanting to change my blog theme for a while! I've been loyal to the Watermark Bubblegum theme since the very start of this blog, but nearly 4 years have passed...legacy is good but so is change, I guess. That and also, this theme feels a bit more...me :-) a bit too cute, but still, the casual-ness of the layout...it feels like the person behind this blog is nice and not stuck-up...(lol)

This Ramadan was incredibly pathetic mainly because I was alone...well, alone-ness isn't bad, but i was just so disconnected from anything and I hope that never happens to me ever again at all whatsoever. I've been questioning my connection to God a bit too much...(sweats) well, it's over and I'm wearing eid PJs and pretending to study microbiology lalalalala~
Tomorrow I'm going over to my uncle's place for lunch. His two sons are back from fucken GERMANY and it's nice to see them again. I just hope I can have a nice reputation of my own too. Today my older cousin was showing my other one how to use letterboxd www

...the title of this post says "haul", right? WHERE IS IT?

First thing was...something I had to ship out on its own! It was a set of 9 Zany Zap Press issues. What is a Zany Zap Press? A sandwich? Think again! This was GB's quarterly fanclub newsletter before they were rich enough for Marukin! It's got them, Guild, and, in later issues, Anli Pollicino. The issues i got were Autumn and Winter 2011, Spring, Summer and Autumn 2012, Spring and Summer 2013, some 2014 issue, and some 2015 issue, probably Winter. It's not *as much* stuff as I expected, but still very very much worth the buy. Do keep in mind that the earlier issues pale in comparison to the later ones in terms of content, mostly they focus on bonus pics of merch photoshoots, not so much concert pics and interviews. Still nice to have something to look through, you know?

A little peek of the Autumn 2011 issue. I can see why this is FC exclusive I don't wanna share pics of these issues with anyone at all. I'm no better than a copyright-dick-riding gatekeeper

What I meant in regards to the content wwww see what I mean?

A GB towel from their 2019 X-mas live! I got it to hang up in my room. 
How I'll do that? Beats me www

444 no Kiseki by hy4_4yh~! I found this and figured I'd get it.
If the Mercari store I got this from sees this, you will pay for cancelling my Taiyo to Issho order. I've been wanting that CD for 3 years. You denied me of the last Milano-era single I need in my collection. Fuck you. Thanks for the 444 no Kiseki though!
I still have yet to listen to it, but I remember listening to the title track since it was in my Hyper Singles compilation album. Cute stuff. Yon yon dayoooooon

Hummingbird!! A cute one I saw and figured I'd get as well as it was a similar case to 444 where I only listened to the title track. I'm so happy I got this because...now I have every hy4_4yh single from 2009 and 2010!!!! What the hell!!!!! 

It's so pink and cute...cute...and pink...

A pretty interesting buy for me is this...Golden Bomber Kanzen, it's a photobook/mook from 2013 published by Rokuhaisha (maybe they'd ring a bell to any J-pop fans? the book came with this pamphlet/promo paper and they also publish a magazine called J-Generation and they published a similar book for MomoClo) which is essentially just a buuunch of pics from the HNO2013 tour with a bunch of blurbs about the members. It's fun~~

I shall carry on the Ketsugya torch, random Mercari seller...thank you...

The paper thing in question promoting other things from the same publishing house.

Kinda looks like he's trapped under ice (lol)

Watch what happens when I buy merch of a bandman I don't know!!!

Do you know this bandman's name? Seriously I don't remember.

Thank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you god

This was all for 1500 yen!!! Can you believe it??? And in such perfect condition too...QuQ I wanna use some of the Kenji b-day magnets...

A Lizmelo tote from the 2014 lottery. It's tinyyyyy!!!! I should aim for an actual LL bag next time, but this'll do ww it's really cute, all my essentials fit in it nicely~~

OMG~~~~ got a dior package~~~~~ 

...who the fuck are these people?

No haul of mine is complete without a DVD for "why not" reasons. This is my stupidest one yet; Guild's 2014 quote unquote drama NECK ~When You Wish Upon A ROCK Star~. It has Kirisho in it and some of the episode titles are parodies of GB songs. I can't wait to watch it once I'm done studying microbiology =_=

I got too excited.

Yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...

Now I have 3 chronological Kenji cam angle DVDs...I remember I was talking to a mutual of mine and i mentioned getting this DVD if i passed my first semester. WE MADE IT!!!
I have yet to watch it, as always, but I can't wait...I'm breathing heavily...I really need to be mentally ill again

Strangely erotic...>///<

The fruits of my labor...and the box that birthed them w

Woo! I'm getting sleepy...

Bye!!
