I'm an awkward, purple/orange Lucario who expresses himself through stories and music!

New account uwu

I've got a tiny little following over on the other site but *shrug* might as well just restart here.

I'm a writer, I make music -- there'll probably be a lot of writer thoughts but music promotion around here

IDK, I'm feeling things out a bit.
Is it controversial to say that the majority of 2000s era music is mixed poorly?

I listened to a bunch of "underrated" 00s/10s pop music and the only mixes that stood up to modern standards were from 2011 onward.

You don't really understand why a studio mic's a studio mic until you're recording in your home through wireless headphones and wondering why you're hearing yourself mess around with stuff a room away from your mic in your ears

Finally, an album, free on Bandcamp!

Here's Expe-Ri-ments, a bunch of tracks in different styles all tied together by a love for harmony and melody!

Ri and Two have a bar...

Was thinking of calling it something like "Purple" and be esoteric about it but I think it's much more in line with those two if they call it something dumb like "The Perching Mewtwo" or simply just... "The Perch?"

I dunno, clearly I'm still working on it haha

New story, too!

Two can be scary, don't forget about that when he's busy being a goober the rest of the time. When he and Ri find someone trying to steal from their bar -- well, the Mewtwo ire comes out.

oh right, I should promote my music, shouldn't I?

Here goes, introducing a new track! A bit of a somber piece this time, it's a farewell theme.

Two's such a goober, I'm gaining better understanding of his character with each story I write.

It's kind of funny how he started out as this stoic, wise character who knows everything but turned into one who needs help processing his own emotions.
January 5, 2025 at 12:04 PM
aaack

I've written myself into this weird corner where Two's just about helpless when it comes to processing his own feelings and letting himself feel them openly and freely, but when it comes to Ri, he's gotta be the one who's insightful and can figure things out.

I don't know if it makes sense

I'm watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and I'm confused as heck why all the openings and closings are mixed awfully.

And when I really think about it, it's a trend I see in anime music until like 2018 or around there, and then after that the quality of a mix increases *so* much

*ahem*

Happy

Howl-idays!

*awoooooooo!!!*

At the very least, I've got an idea brewing for a new story.

It's just taking numerous pages of notes for me to put it together
December 4, 2024 at 11:49 AM
heck, writing deep characters is hard

I've come across a bunch of considerations about Two that I haven't thought of before and now because of it the ways he acts sometimes in the stories I've written until now just isn't right.

It's frustrating, but... I guess it means I'm getting better

Ah, right, this is a Mature story, and for good reason, if you're not up for a bunch of pokemon being kind of horny for each other and talking about horny stuff then maybe best to pass
December 1, 2024 at 5:22 AM
story :)

Goober Lucario and Mewtwo can't handle meeting a Zeraora, that's basically the plot of this one. Angsty story ahead, you've been warned

Here's a bit of art illustrating one of my stories drawn by @kra-owo-z.bsky.social! Just Ri and Two enjoying a bit of a cuddle alone in Veridian Forest to get away from some hard times

You can find the story it goes with here: archiveofourown.org/works/42491904

My Zeraora saga is nearly finished!

This was supposed to be a short story about Ri and Two meeting a Zeraora and not being miserable about it but it turned into a 2-volume series about Ri and Two being miserable because of a Zeraora...

at least they end up friends in the end

listening to the farewell themes from PMD because I like to make myself cry periodically, I guess.

PMD 1: ah, a nice little nostalgic tune to remember the good times while you're saying goodbye to your partner

PMD 2: a cry of "Why -- *WHY* -- are you leaving me!?" distilled in pure music
November 17, 2024 at 8:55 AM
got some music stuff in the works

orchestral-ish stuff this time!
November 15, 2024 at 11:53 PM
I usually have an awful time visualizing stuff so my stories are pretty lacking in the visuals but I think I finally found a reference for how Two battles!

It's Frieren, Frieren and Fern are badass and it's awesome watching them fight.

The show gives me thoughts on how to demonstrate power, too

I need to de-Lucario my Lucario so I can plaster him all over my music.

Probably the biggest thing keeping me from trying *hard* to be professional with my music is Ri being a Lucario and not just some generic wolf. Ri will be my fursona probably forever but I really need a not-pokemon too...
November 4, 2024 at 1:50 AM
decided to switch up my handles and profiles

same guy, I'm just being my Lucario now not my Mewtwo

This guy's my actual fursona, after all, as much as I love and adore Two~
