Rinne —Reincarnation— (acoustic ver.)

V.W.P. (Virtual Witch Phenomenon)

English translation by @why-raven

You think you’re a god? Is this a divine punishment? I’m not at your mercy

A future that will change And friends that won’t Intersecting thoughts that never go well

Flashbacks of despair I can’t keep reliving this

Everything I once threw away I came here to get it back I want to protect it all And lose nothing Before this fever fades into the haze Theories of hope are reborn

When I open my eyes To find myself in a similar world My knees are shaking

Escape is not an option A crumbling world lies before me

Flashbacks of intention Humanity comes to a standstill Despair rumbles from within

Everything I once threw away I came here to get it back I can’t lose it all again I’ve been burning with rage Don’t feel pity for me Theories of hope on repeat

I’m tired of saying goodbye If I have face it again, I will

Things I’ve lost that day I came here to get them back The soul is undressed There’s nowhere left to run Call me a fool for my ignorance But I still believe in hope

If I’m reborn again and again I’ll seize the future

神様のつもりか？ 天罰のつもりか？ 言いなりになんてなるか

変わりゆく未来と 変わらない仲間と どうにもうまくいかない交差する思考

フラッシュバックする絶望 繰り返すままじゃいられない

一度捨てたもの 全て取り戻すためにここに来た 守りたいものばかりだ 全て失ってたまるか この熱が霞(かすみ)に消える前に 希望論は輪廻する

目を覚ませばそこは 同じような世界 膝が震えている

退場は許されない 目の前に広がる ボロボロに朽ちた世界

フラッシュバックする意向 人類は立ち止まる 絶望が腹を鳴らす

一度捨てたもの 全て取り戻すためにここに来た 二度と失ってたまるか 怒りで身を焦がしてきた 哀れだって思わないでくれ 希望論を繰り返せ

さよならはいい飽きた 繰り返すなら何度でも 立ち向かうさ

あの日こぼれ落ちたものを 取り戻すためにここに来た 魂は着飾らないもう どこにも逃げやしない わからずやだと馬鹿にしてくれ それでも希望を信じている

輪廻するなら何度でも 未来を　掴み取れ

quiz: japanese spirit animal — yiuno.

Jorōgumo — Spider Lady.

Jorōgumo are lone warriors who prefer to live solitary lives. You possess a cunning intelligence that makes you an excellent tactician, but you are left with an equally cold heart and see other humans as nothing more than insects to feed on—whether that’s just using them as sources of knowledge… or something far more sinister. You’d rather spend the night in with a glass of wine and a game of solo chess than go out raving or even to the pub. Jorōgumo can be skillful deceivers and powerful shape-shifters when they need to get ahead; however, when confronted with genuine compassion and sentiment, they can get their mental web in a serious tangle. Remember: letting your guard down with others may actually yield magical results beyond anything a textbook could ever provide.

For many Eorzeans, immortality is their answer to ascend the limitations of finite life. To Yiuno, however, it is a curse to eternal solitude. How many centuries—or perhaps even millennia—have come and gone? Even as he listens to the clock ticking away in the shadow of an inn room, time has stopped for Yiuno since the day he and his twin sister, Yiuna, were banished from their clan eons ago.

Though death has forsaken him and his soul is barred from ever rejoining the lifestream, Yiuno isn’t impregnable—blood still runs through his veins just like you and I. He still feels pain as raw as the knife that impales him… over and over again. His body and mind have screamed for release countless times, until the voice decays helplessly into the limbo, leaving only a numbing silence behind.

“If I cannot die, then I will live on. Even if I must trample over other lives to do so.”

This time, and maybe just a little, he is grateful for the longevity as a blessing in disguise. The passage of time becomes a tool to hone and polish his survival skills: knowledge sharpens his mind, magic broadens his capability, and experience creates his many faces in society. A fierce warrior who can stand his own ground on the battlefield, and a shapeshifting liar who has lived quietly in the shadows of known history.

As for the people around him, they are like candles lit up by the hand of gods, its flame burning brightly in the darkness. Their lives wane with each passing time, then they flicker and give way to the void…

Until he meets Sora. A young Auri girl who throws his stale life into a complete mess. A budding and excitable adventurer who shows him a new meaning to life.

Yiuno is willing to devote everything he has for this Warrior of Darkness… even when these unexpected changes will open fresh wounds in his long frozen heart.

Hermes (God of Travelers, Thieves)

you're kind of a little shit, but you're just too damn likeable for anybody to do anything about it. you have big youngest-sibling vibes, and at your core are kind, benevolent, and fun. you've got a thing for transient places - airports, train stations, hostels - and you have no problem lying for the sake of what you think is the greater good - just how big that "greater good" is can vary a bit. remember that sometimes, however, there's just nothing to be done other than be openly, unabashedly honest about how you feel. if you spend too much time dancing around hard conversations in order to spare people's feelings, it'll only bring strife to yourself and others.

about me — people i’d like to know better.

LAST SONG. “Trickster” and “Showdown”, both songs by the Japanese band FIVE NEW OLD. They are opening themes for the anime HIGH CARD, which I finished binging just last week. The songs incorporate a lot of English lyrics—the main vocalist, HIROSHI, is a fan of Western culture since young. His English pronunciation in those music videos are pretty good. A quick content warning about the songs involving poker card themes, to err on the safe side.

FAVORITE COLOR. It’s hard to pick just one specific color, since I’m a fiend for graphic and web design… I’d say monochrome—all the different shades of gray, including white and black. I like neutral colors most since they’re very versatile when combining with other colors to make palettes for my design ideas… and well, it also makes clothing coordination fairly straightforward, because I can’t be bothered to spend time thinking what to wear every day, you know?

CURRENTLY READING. Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë. When I first read this book—as a teenager and merely out of curiosity, I recall—I was fairly disgusted by the characters, especially at the raw violence and toxic relationship between them. Now that I’m older (and hopefully wiser, I dunno), maybe my opinion of this novel will change. We shall see. I don’t recommend this book to minors because it’s a disturbing read, and I’m saying this from personal experience, lol.

CURRENTLY WATCHING. Odekake Kozame (en. Little Shark’s Outings). It’s a short animation series depicting the slice of life of a very cute baby shark called Kozame-chan. It’s based on a collection of short comics by Japanese artist Penguin Box, which were originally posted on Twitter. It was later picked up for serialization by Kadokawa Corporation and Enterbrain for their Aokishi magazine since October 2021. I highly recommend this wholesome series to brighten up your day and help you stay positive!

SWEET, SAVORY, OR SPICY? Sliding between savory and spicy depending on my mood of the day. I don’t like sweet stuff, and usually tend to avoid them unless I really have to take some.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS. Single and happy to stay this way. I’m not stopping my muses—especially Yiuno—from trying to find a partner in life, though.

LAST THING YOU GOOGLED. I don’t keep track, honestly. I mainly use Google search like a dictionary. I mean, at least it’s ad-free, I guess?

CURRENT OBSESSION. Aside from my muses (I’m forever and always obsessed with them), I’d say dark academia—with sprinkles of Victorian and gothic aesthetics. And maybe a bit of witchcore and vampcore.

Thank you very much for the tag, @miqojak! It took me a while to fill this up because I tend to write a lot, just like you.
