User blog:JeielYozama/Lights Off. This Is Real Talk.



Sebyl, pull back the covers. The glitter and OP-ness. The fancy, schmansy name. I’m gonna be painstakingly real here. (Hears an inarguably funny tone behind his back) Sebyl, we talked about this, I told you I’m going to be honest with myself.

Sebyl: You’re gonna get hurt.

Me: No I won’t. I’m gonna do just fine. (pats the head of a bluish-green slime, eliciting a jiggly sound from the notion)

(Sebyl pouts and decides to do as she is asked)

Alright…

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">…where was I?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">(Looks over a script) Right. (Clears throat)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As you guys all know.. yeah. I’m JeielYozama. Here in the site, I’m a ruler, adventurer, chronicler (of sorts), and wild MG enthusiast. ‘Nuff said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">But in real life, I’m a (soon to be) 19 year old with a vivid imagination.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Even as a kid, I’ve always been an avid dreamer. You get the feeling you wanna make stories that others would find breathtaking and unbelievable? I always felt that. I could still remember me and my older brother, drawing comics for the first time. I was 7 years old, back in my grandma’s house. Those were the days, indeed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Years after that, it became a solid habit for me to .. well….. draw. Drawing was, and will continue to be, my first love. Most of the stuff I generated were about fanmadePokemon, and several more on original characters that popped in random frequencies in me head. The best ones I made were about insectlike mutants (no, not like Terraformars, if you’ve heard of it). Oh, the fun I had in making names….

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">At those times, I had zero exposure to anime. Yep. The only probable thing that told me animation existed was through Pokemon cards (and even now, I play them). To my father, Pokemon was a whole lot of distraction. He burned my collection, once, when he was unable to find me and it turned out I was just sitting somewhere, reading the movie novelization of Pokemon: The Movie 2000. I never got over that. I never did. (And so did my bro).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Fast forward to my grade school years, I watched anime for the first time (anyone heard of Inuyasha?) and found myself mesmerized. It helped create my own stories. Back then, just to have a writing platform, I’d fold a bunch of paper and staple them in the middle to create a makeshift book. Soon, I was writing about gods, monsters, and well… goblins (long story).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The world of monster girls, to which I got myself deeply involved with, began ''with Monster Musume. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">It was one time when I was in a social networking site, that I saw the trailer to the anime – which was to be released in summer of 2015 (I think?).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Monster girls? The first time I saw that, I could swear my eyes glinted faintly. Snake ladies? Harpies? Dang. How come I never thought of that? My fascination for cryptids (which I applied to my character Jeiel as a researcher on the very subject) just added fuel to the flames.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The actual ‘stumbling’ into the Wikia occurred when I was looking for ‘Will-o-the-Wisp’ in the internet. The first search item that popped in the results was the Mamono Will – o- the Wisp (by sheer coincidence) and when I read it, I uttered a ‘Huh?’.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In the back of my head, I told me self, ‘I don’t remember Will-o-Wisps caging men for sex.’

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Yeah. That was just the first. Turns out it was a work of fiction made by Kenkou Cross, and THAT got me curious ( I’m a teen with hormones. Can you BLAME me? Plus, I became an absolute fan of harem – ecchianimes. To Love Ru had really gotten to me in the long run).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Around that time, the most recent Mamonos in the site was the Wisp, Kakuen and Houri. (I heard that it’d been a ‘drought’ of new Mamono for quite a few months’ since I came in). Mostly, I fell in love with the Mamonos themselves, not their descript. And true to what I mentioned before, I couldn’t get them off my head.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Following that, I started to read the Fanfiction page of the Wikia. If anyone’s familiar with ‘The Monster Under The Bed’ and ‘Heartstrings’, those were the very first stories I read – and got me inspired to write my own story. Thus, I joined the wikia to post my first story, which was the first chapter for ‘MamonoQuest’ (which I discontinued due to personal reasons). Since that time, and the days, months that followed, that brought me to where I am now.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Sure, in the site, I’m a person of my own perks. Yeah, I can be annoying, easily embarrassed and often carried away by both emotions and the flow of events that come my way. But I live a dual life. Outside, I’m an older sib who does his best in studying and being not a total nutcase in RL(Of course, I already act like a nut when I talk about meinwaifus to my bro). And just to reply to the site, I have to sneak in to the school library and spend my wee hours. Hahah. Not that I hate it, but it’s become my own versh of a habit.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Being in the site has been my motivation and training. I’m studying Communications, so apart from honing me writing skills. Writing my replies on the RPs trains me on how to write for my future stories. Still though, I’m not really open to what I’m writing here. My sibs may understand, but with the rents? 50-50.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jeiel’s story is partly influenced by my own self. He’s a mirror of me, except in a more passive side. Me if I were ever, in a harem setting alongside magic and mayhem.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">To be honest, the reason why I’m mostly unable to get to a solid computer to update in the site for replies is because I can’t.One: money matters. Two: on holidays, me and my peeps go to a lotta places so I’m never at home on times. Three: it’s hard to sneak out of the house to do it. Four: don’t have my own PC and internet.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Welp, I don’t complain. I love being in the site with everyone, so I find my own ways to handle it. Even without internet, I just get the PDFs of the RP I’m replying on and answer at home.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Don’t you worry your pretty little heads, though. I’m not obsessed. I know what RL and DL (digital life) have and don’t have. There’s a wall there. Trust me.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">One way or another, due to my complete… um… inability to be in the site all the time (compared to the summer when I stayed with my aunt’s house. Since the place had free wifi, I was IN all the TIME), I tend to.. well…… do things off the bat. So, for that I really apologize if I end up breaking barriers and making totally BS responses that destroy canon. My bad.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

I have a lot in store for my character, so I hope that in the future, you’ll continue to stay alongside me.

<span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;text-indent:-1.5in;">Hopefully, I’ll get to be in the site for a longer period in the years to come. I’m just keeping my hopes up for it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Just, for one thing, remind me if I do f*** up. I’ll gladly make the changes so.
