Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 10: Repentance

AKUSAIMONTH: BERSERK Day 1: SET C - “An Eternal Memory” (Prologue)

I swore I'd never forget. I wonder, did I keep this promise? I held the memory close, that much I can say, but still … In my rage, the hatred I didn't even acknowledge … Didn't I change it's meaning?

It is hard to understand why I acted the way I did in this quiet moment. No, not to understand. It is hard to believe. What a fool I have been. Had I acted differently … would I have been able to change fate? Had I been stronger, could I have been able to change the fact that it is you lying in front of me, motionless, once again?

“Wake up,” I whisper, knowing that you are probably not able to hear me. They keep telling me, that you don't. Yet, how would they know? When I was lost in darkness out of all things it was your voice I heard. So, wouldn't it make sense for you to hear mine as well?

When they tell me not to push myself too far I can feel a sense of empathy coming from them that I neither deserve nor wish for. I fake a smile nonetheless and promise. Another promise I am probably breaking in this twisted way of mine, without even knowing. This is all I can do for you, so I won't stop. For as long as it takes I will be staying by your side. I will keep the memory of you.

AKUSAIMONTH // 2017 Day 1: Red & Blue

“Hey. Remember when we used to argue who the sky belongs to?”

“Because everything that’s blue was mine and everything in red yours? Yes, I do. You used to claim you’d overpower me in the evening.”

“Well… Can’t say I was wrong about that?”

“… Idiot.”

“Hehe. Anyway … What I was actually going to say: How about we call it a truce?”

“A truce.”

“Yeah, we never got to a conclusion. So let’s just say, we both own the sky.”

“That’s … This is stupid.”

“Heh. I knew you’d like the idea!”

That's what happens, when I've got nothing to do at work.

AkuSaiMonth 2015

So, I am taking part in @misomilk 's AkuSaiMonth and seeing as I like to make things more complicated than they need to be, I decided to take all the prompts of card C to create a coherent story (More like story-doodle things) with it. This extra post helps me to keep things organized.

I will update this post regularly and link back to it!

... in which Lea, the mage, somehow managed to get turned into a cat.

For @ignisfavilla. Thank you for being such an amazing friend!

Happy new year 2017!

You have changed.

Reeeeeaaaaally late entry into AkuSaiMonth. I didn’t realize there was such a thing until, well yesterday. Yep. And then my internet gave up. I guess it was just as shocked as I was.

How on earth am I supposed to catch up?!

So, Entry Day: OTP Quote.


I wanted to take something else, anything else, but you know, actually that’s it. This one sentence describes it just so perfectly. That's basically why I ship those two.

So I actually would have made a .gif out of a HD scene yesterday but for some reason I can't upload it. Well, so I did a sketch instead. With the only pens I had at that moment, a biro and a neon pink text marker. I actually like the effect though. x'D

I am planning on doing this whole thing. Every day I missed on Berserk Mode, wish me good luck.

„What?! Again?! You’re cheating, just admit it!!“ „As if anyone had to cheat to win against you.“ „Oi! Now that calls for a rematch! Just you wait, you’re done for this time!“ „Well, 21-0 says differently.“ „Y-you --- STOP COUNTING ALREADY.“

(Headcannon: Isa has always been better at anything that has to do with computers or the like, including video games. He still is.)

Five more days till AkusaiMonth! I can’t wait! (Should I keep this one for it as well? Probably. But I’m not, huhu. Oh my … I’ve got a plan, wish me good luck everyone @_@”)

"But I promise to be there one day to wake you up." 12 Days.

Okay, imagine how different everything would have been if Aqua hadn't sacrificed herself for Terranort. It's sad that it was an act of deep friendship that paved the way for so many bad things ...

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 21: Music & Lyrics

Die Welt steht still // The world stands still zwischen uns // between us Mach die Augen wieder auf // Open the eyes again Atme langsam wieder aus // Breath out again Die Welt steht still // The world stands still

[Die Welt steht still - Revolverheld]

"Die Welt steht still" is about two people who slowly drifted away from each other. They have changed over time and each of them has made a lot of mistakes which are now mounting up in between them and creating some sort of an invisible wall. He sings that he doesn't know whether it's too late to forgive all of that, to see each other anew, but he is willing to try it. It's all up to the other.

What really impressed my about this song is the video. It adds a complete new layer of meaning to it. You can see a woman who is pulled out of a river and people running her way trying to save / reanimate her. It was actually this life saving aspect that really caught my attention.

With the woman coming back around during the end of the video it is very clear how the story in the song is supposed to end, I rather wanted to show the uncertain state before the decision instead. I'm not sure myself though, whether this will be a "life saving" or a "going down together" story or something else completely.
