Backstory Revealed

Happy 1 year of trivia!

As of now, it is March 12th where I live, which is the first anniversary of this blog's creation!

Technically it's 1 year and 1 day, but the date doesn't lineup because of the leap year. Today actually is 365 days since the first fact was posted. Stupid leap year.

To mark the occasion, I have queued some of my favourite facts and meta I've posted over the last year to post every hour for the next 2 days! There will still be new facts at the regular time as well.

Thank you so much for the support over the last year!! I never expected the blog to take off like it did, I just started it to infodump about the game and didn't even see myself keeping it up for more than a couple of months, especially since I created this immediately after I started playing the game again following a several-month hiatus. Truly, seeing people get excited by my trivia posts and essays, and getting to interact positively with other fans is what has motivated me to keep going, with the blog and the game itself.

I love this game a lot, and I'm really happy that I've been able to meet people who are just as passionate about it as I am. Without this blog I probably would've stopped playing if I'm being honest, and I never would've rediscovered my love of media analysis and writing, so I'm really thankful for everything. I hope I've been able to be a mostly positive face in the community, and thank you for having me!

I'm sorry I've been rather inactive lately, I've been really busy with deadlines, applications, and now finals, but this should only be for a few more months. I'll keep doing my best with this account in future!

Thank you so much! ありがとう！

so when's the wxs phantom of the opera set

💞🌸💎🍠

for something that’s in Saki’s character profile, I’ve seen literally no one mention the fact that she knows how to juggle.

the potential comedy of this has been unexplored thus far.

Fyodor is fighting his homosexuality

Rkgk illust before commission

found these on tiktok and i still haven’t recovered

baby fyodor.. baby chuuya..

They both had enough cringe gay moments that give them NO RIGHT to look at Gogol like that

“he’s talking about weed” “he’s talking about guns” nuh uh gay marriage

wxs method acts as dogs. it goes just as you expect.

no thoughts only tsukasa and the way he emphatically includes anyone without a second thought

he may be just the littlest bit dense and overwhelming when interacting with others but he has that bright-eyed enthusiasm and willingness to accept others wholeheartedly that reminds me of how younger kids are. and not in a “wow he’s so childish and immature” way. he’s just so BRIGHT and unapologetically himself in the way that kids who are beginning to experience the world tend to be. and that’s such a perfect contrast to the rest of the cautious heart class.

despite his childhood loneliness, his personality wasn’t dampened and he’s honestly not what you’d describe as “cautious” lmao. he kinda skipped that phase where kids become self-conscious of their actions and suppress themselves for the sake of fulfilling expectations. whereas the others in the aptly named cautious heart class have aren’t as true to themselves in some way and are working to be more so

mafuyu, trying to find herself again and obviously having her “good girl” persona

honami, working to stand for her own opinions and ideas instead of always appeasing everyone

kohane, learning to be more out there and to stop worrying about what everybody thinks so much

haruka, always being in idol-mode and realizing that it’s okay to take breaks from that. (her story is different from shizuku’s and how shizuku previously had to hide her clumsiness and whatnot to be the perfect idol in Cheerful*Days, but I think that naturally as an idol, there’s going to be discrepancy between Haruka as a person and Haruka in the eyes of others/fans. this is very apparent in the miya girls school festival event where a girl tells haruka that she’s realized haruka isn’t some unapproachable professional idol that people think her to be. saki inviting haruka to the event committee provided haruka the opportunity to relax and show the less serious, regular-high-school-girl side of herself)

at first glance, tsukasa might seem like he’s an outlier in the cautious heart class. but in actuality, he fits so well because he’s just so great at encouraging the rest of the class to throw away any “cautions” about fitting into a certain expectation and just be themselves instead. obviously he himself doesn’t seem to care much about what others think of him, so he shows the others that it’s not so bad to put yourself out there

hence why he seems to be leading the class in the MV (when I watched it, I initially found it odd that he was so prominent lmao. I have thoughts on rui’s placement in the MV as well but i feel like that’s gonna turn out to be another long ramble LMAO)

tsukasa tenma, you endearing, endearing little man <3
