My 7th birthday... I remember it quite clearly, despite the fact it was fourteen years ago (my age isn't what my DA page says it is).
I remember the days before, a little bit. Telling my mum what I wanted my cake to look like, the anticipation, the autumn leaves that were falling.
Come September 6th, 2001, and my 7th birthday went off without a hitch. Cutting the cake and eating it, opening the presents in the conservatory. I remember the atmosphere most of all, however. It felt... different, perhaps because it was Autumn.
Five days later, the world changed. Those days, are blank to me. Nothing significant happened on that day that allowed to remember them... at least, nothing significant happened to me.
I remember the early days of the war in Afghanistan. I remember seeing it on the news at my dad's house, and just wanting the channel to change to Cartoon Network. The only thing I really thought about Afghanistan, apart from "Gahhh, I don't want to watch this!", was Why we were there, fighting in this country I had never heard of before.
I didn't become truly aware of the reason until years later.
More and more, I dwell on the September 11th attacks. I have doubted the official story, and believed it. I have mourned for the people I never knew.
I guess its strange that I weep for the Towers more. I see pictures of them and wish I could go there, see them, go inside them, up to the top of them... and it hurts that I can't. That hurts me more, that I will NEVER see the Twin Towers. And not just any old twin towers, THE Twin Towers.
I'd need a time machine, or a way to get into a parallel universe to see them. But I know the chances of that, are basically zero.
I will never see the Twin Towers. And I'd give anything to do just that.

Is it any wonder I barely use this site anymore? DA has constantly shown how much they don't value us. When we tell them something is bad, they don't listen and do it anyway (Eclipse). They're doing it again. Honestly, fuck the guys at DA. Fuck them all. #changeitback
Eclipse is like a meal my mother once made
When I was 3 or 4, my mum once made a meal of salted haddock. I don't remember this meal, but my dad sure does. To say this dish was awful is an understatement. The sheer amount of salt made it unbearable, and little me could not take it. I hated it, and complained. My mum did eventually realise just how bad it was, but you know what she did first? She forced it down my throat. Told me off for not eating that horrid meal, gave me no other options. It was only when my dad told her it was bad and she actually tried it herself that she realised it was truly bad. Unfortunately, Eclipse is a lot like that salted haddock. And DA is not my mum, meaning they aren't going to realise what a horrible mistake they've made, because they're convinced it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Covid-19
Guys, with this virus now officially a pandemic, I just want to stress to you to stay safe.
Washing your hands for longer & more often, and staying inside as much as possible are the number 1 ways to prevent it. I know you likely already are, but please take this thing seriously. I don't want to lose any of you guys.
Kugun Musume - A Warplane Anime Concept
Having recently watched the Azur Lane Anime, I began thinking to myself: we have three successful games and series with anthropomorphic warships (Kantai Collection being the second, and Arpeggio of Blue Steel being the third).
We've also had Girls und Panzer and High School Fleet as well, the high school meets WW2 vehicle trope. And there's Girls Frontline as well.
Yet there's little to no sign of warplanes of the era getting the same treatment. There was Strike Witches, but that didn't go anywhere. So I've been brainstorming on how I could fill that gap.
Introducing Kūgun Musume, literally Air Force Daughters. My attempt to bring war
