A Maiden’s Illusionary Funeral

“Gensokyo, a land sealed in times of conflict, cut off from the ever modernising world. A land where fantasy and reality collide. A land of boundaries. The land of illusions.”

16th April was the day of the MelCosPho 6, an event held every now and then to cater for the desires of Cosplayers and Photographers to have a day out. As the name implies, this was the sixth and the gathering site was the Carlton Gardens/Royal Exhibition Building on the outskirts of the Melbourne CBD. Rinka and I decided to bring our lovely ladies to the gathering to take a few snaps in the autumn weather.

It’s been weeks since the human named Evelyn fell into our world. She does not know of how she came, nor why. Perhaps she is a victim of my master’s doing?

A curious girl, she asked how does a mushroom taste. “Have you not tasted them in your world?” I replied as she leaned on the tree. “No, I haven’t tasted anything ever,” her eyes fixated on the fungus she held in her hand. Never tasted anything? Is she even human?

As we lay on the endless autumn grass, I thought to guide her to the human village. The warmth of the land filled me, I sighed as I slowly drifted into a nap.

“Like master like servant” I heard before I floated to my dreams, how did she know of…

mini photo report

For those who don’t know, Supanova is a pop culture expo held across Terra Australis. Last weekend was Melbourne’s turn to hold the event.

I managed to take a few photos here and there, I was mainly busy with events and helping out OzAnimart.

Of notable mention, Yuko Miyamura (Asuka of Evangelion) and Tiffany Grant (Asuka of Evangelion… in English) were in attendance. One of the highlights was getting signatures from them on various merchandise. They both held a Q&A session too, and Miyamura-san even performed a line from Asuka as she fought the mass production Eva circling over Unit 2. No photos of them tho, apparently not allowed to take photos with them ;_;

Anyway, below are some random photos, I’ll be uploading a photoshoot right after, which is not exactly the sort of photoshoots I normally do…

The guy in the light blue shirt is a fellow mate by the name of Pudding, you can visit his blog Crescent Elusion.

Congrats on getting second in the Cosplay Competition!

New Wallpaper

Very short post, basically, I’ve been using the same wallpaper for over a year, and today, I’ve changed it.

Granted, the new wallpaper has essentially the same thing, Yuyuko Saigyouji, The Ghostly girl in the Netherworld Tower, The Innocent Ghost, The Ghost from the calamitous nirvana among other names. A character in the world of Gensokyo from the series of games collectively known as Touhou. Along with Yuyuko is Saigyou Ayakashi, the youkai cherry blossom tree. More info at TouhouWiki

Anyway, here’s the desktop I’ve used for the past year:

1600×1200

And this is the new one:

1600×1200

If you’re interested, the wallpapers, they’re by Studio S.D.T., their work is just astounding. I managed to grab a few doujin releases of them from my trip to Japan last year, included with the doujins are CDs with super high resolution images of their work :3

So, I have about 3 important tasks I have to finish before I can get started on proper work of this site and such, so expect another slow 2 weeks =/ sorry~
