my account
NSFW, I don't monitor my followers but if I see you're following me as a minor I'll soft block
(I know I post a lot of non-NSFW but I can't be assed to manage separate accounts)I don't feel like I RT an egregious amount, but you can always mute my repostsI'm somewhat selective about who I follow because I don't want a chaotic timeline, and I like to get a feel of people first
in the same vein, if I'm following you there's a good chance I muted reposts (sorry)


fandom
99% of my posts are enstars (valkyrieP)favorite character = mika, favorite ship = shumika
I like both top & bottom mika, however I only call them "shumika" for personal reasons
my preference is bottom mika, so I will talk about it more oftenI'm a multishipper and ship mika with just about everyone (including himself)
I'll point out nazuna/mika, eichi/mika, eichi/shu, & rinne/mika, since these are often sensitive


be warned
ship discourse is dumb. so is top/bottom discourse. if you propagate ship or shumika/mikashu hate I will block you. if you really must hate on main, censor the ship name or you're just embarrassing yourself.other reasons I block:
• you posted valkyrie/valkP hate (most common)
• you're too active in discourse
• personal reasons/boundaries
• you blocked me first


boring sappy history lesson
I was introduced to enstars in sept. 2020 and was a hiyori/edenP, but it became my main fandom in sept. 2022 when I became interested in valkyrie after watching acanthe and subsequently exploring their discography and stories.they inspired me to study japanese again, and I began translating in may 2023. my first translations were the original songs from on stage festival since they lacked some: "kaguya no hana" by akatsuki & "angel's wing" by fine. they touched me deeply listening to them for the first time.because of enstars and specifically valkyrie, I started studying japanese again, I've met many new friends, and I decided to do an exchange year in japan (that I am privileged enough to be able to do). they inspired me to write & publish fanfiction, to do translations, and to work on other creative endeavors. it's no exaggeration to say that my life would be drastically different without valkyrie having given me the motivation to pursue my goals following the depression of the pandemic years.even when they are no longer the primary captors of my heart, they will always have a place in it. I'm grateful to be able to witness their journey of art & love that is given meaning by the fans who adore them and the hardworking artists & actors who give them life.“Hey, Kagehira. Let us weave a happy story here just as they once did. So that we too can laugh and smile. Let's stay close for now and forever. That would be the greatest offering we can give to those who came before us, don't you think?”
