Aiko's Gazebo of Thoughts

📌 About

This is my microblog for my short and informal posts, akin to Twitter. I use it:
1) To keep posts from social media (Twitter, Mastodon, etc) I want to preserve.
2) As something like TwitLonger/Fusetter/Privatter - in other words, for longer posts that don't fit a social media's character limit.

Some posts are retroactively moved/copied from elsewhere to this microblog (PESOS), while others are original but may also be cross-posted (posted at the same time)(POSSE) or linked on social media. Initially, I didn't include links to original/copied posts elsewhere (original post link or posts-elsewhere), but as of 2025-08-26, I decided to include them as "(Also on:)" going forward. Some posts won’t have links, especially older ones. Not every post will have these, since some links are lost or no longer available by the time I decided this. For instance, RIP my old Twitter account for many years, @harem_eater. 🥀 Some links may also become dead links in the future.


Also refer to >>1 (this pinned post is long overdue since this microblog has existed and been used, even linked on some social media, since June lol).

📌 Tegalog

This microblog is created using Tegalog by Nishimura-san. There is no English version. I can change some text to English, but it'd all revert back to Japanese after version updates, so excuse me for all the Japanese text that is left.

Demetri (Bellone) Gacha Roundup #Arknights

I was on a trip when most of it happened, which made it hard to do a live update here. So here's a roundup of my gacha rolls in Demetri's (Bellone) banner from the newest. The original posts are on Twitter and it's a mess of quotes, so this is much easier to do too lol.

THANK YOU OOMFIES I LOVE Y'ALL!!! 😭🙏💕 (I did not spend all of my OPs however)

>Oomf 1: wtf so close to max pot come spend all your OPs
>Me: The real devil is you 😱😱😱😭😭😭

> Oomf 2: //whisper// Who knows he could appear in the next 10 rolls— //get hit//

I was so happy I forgot to mention an important thing: I pulled while listening to his song LMAO IT WORKED!!! 😭😭😭👏👏👏

Oomfies prayed for me to get max pot so it'd be a waste if I didn't continue pulling, right?
Aaaand as feared, this is my unluckiest pull yet lmao
And so, for the first time in ages, I'm broke in Orundums 😇 Still have 700+ OPs but I'm not sure I want to keep going lol 🫠

I changed my mind about using my microblog for website updates/changelog, so I never continued it since the first time, but I think this update warrants a longer update. Or more like, I want to talk about it in more details. After several days/weeks of working on-and-off, I'm finally done overhauling my About page!!

I've always wanted to make my about page cuter/prettier/fancier/more aesthetic, ala Canva templates people like to use in their pinned introduction post. "Why not just use Canva?" You might ask. Good question! The answer is, I don't want to! If I change something, I have to edit and re-export images! I don't want that! ...But coding is hard, I have to screenshot it anyway (which can be tricky), and if I change something I have to take another screenshot anyway...so well. 😂🤡

You can say the answer is, well, "Why not?". It's a fun challenge for a hobbyist coder with no sense of aesthetics like me. Perhaps I've gone a bit overboard. I kept adding new things, that's why it took longer than it should. 😂 It's still simpler than some Canva templates, of course, but I'm really happy with the result!

The page looks different from the rest of the website, though some elements remain the same. I want to overhaul my website's main template to match it, and in turn, make it prettier/fancier. That'll definitely take some time - it'll be my long-term project now. I want to make a separate template for Favorites page too. Eventually. Someday.

I also FINALLY used rewrite rules so that the URLs for "About Me" and "About the Website" are prettier. I'll do it to the rest of the website too...eventually...someday...so many links to change... 🫠😭😭😭Fold

Re: what gacha headcanon has you like this?

> Kinda vague but most "pushed pairings" regardless of the specific game. It feels like so often at least one of the characters in the pair gets the short end of the stick and is only mentioned in relation to the other and gets no development of their own. Bonus points if it causes a chain reaction of retcons that extends even to other characters

THIS. AGREED!!! My friend and I like to call them "gov (devs) mandated ships" lmao. I think this especially happens a lot to same-sex ships. At this point I feel some of these ships are so forced sometimes, it gives me a bitter taste.

> One of the characters in the pair gets the short end of the stick and is only mentioned in relation to the other

This happens both in canon and fanon (fandom). It especially sucks if you love that character on their own, and then you see the fandom treat them just as a companion to the other character, just a part of the ship. 😔😭💔
