2025

December

• 2025-12-30 - Speed writing end-of-the-year posts. It never endsss! This one is my December 2025 Monthly Media Wrap-up. Beware: lots of cursing. PF. DW.
• 2025-12-28 - Yearly Wrap-up is out! There were a lot of coding projects, fics, blog posts, community events creations, account set-ups (like this one!), and anything else I started this year. A very very long list. Dreamwidth. Pillowfort.
• 2025-12-28 - I decided that don't like Tumblr as a platform enough to seek a client to filter the sit through. So I created an account on Pillowfort. Pretty barebones account atm. Will probably use it to engage with the fandoms I haven't yet.
• 2025-12-26 - Free from fic writing hell!!! Silence and Conviction by ArimaMary. Inazuma Eleven GO! Galaxy | HibiKage | Teen and Up | 3.2k words
• 2025-12-DD - Testing bridging this account to BlueSky.
• 2025-12-19 - Made a /Now page on rentry to have an overview on everything I have my fingers in. Will help me not overbook myself in the future and look back on in case of a long period of absence.
• 2025-12-11 - I made a pronouns.page! Only English atm!

site updates

• 2025.12.31 - Added two Inazuma Eleven fanfics, Together, We're Invincible_Chapter 1|Together, We're Invincible (WIP) and Silence and Conviction.

November

• 2025-11-30 - Finished drafting November Media 2025 Wrap up and December 2025 Media posts for my journal! Microblogging helped tons. Just had to copy/paste those posts, edit somewhat, and add more comments.
• 2025-11-25 - rec_cember prep was feeling a little lacking, so I created a Tumblr sideblog and DW community to share my InazumaEleven fic recommendations.
• 2025-11-21 - Crossposted my Inazuma Eleven Episode 11 analysis on Kidou and Kageyama's scene to Dreamwidth after digging through the depths of my Tumblr account. What a lovely little piece that enver fails to make my blood boil.
• 2025-11-18 - Uploaded my first Monthly Media post in Dreamwidth ! It's a list of things I want to finishing reading, watching, playing before the year ends.
• 2025-11-15 - ArimaMary's Fic Archive on Dreamwidth I probably should have considered deeper why I wanted to make my fics available on DW. Compared to my website, DW has a good commenting feature that my site was lacking and I have no technical know-how to implement. Site + AO3 just didn't feel safe enough for future-proofing. Ig I just wanted to give people and myself more options to check out my stuff? It also helped me learn about customization features.
• 2025-11-02 - First chapter of "Together, We're Invincible" (SomeFubu fic) is out! Changed the name last minute and I like it A LOT. I returned to the IE fandom to write some damn SomeFubu and after idk 2 months, 3??? it's finally happening. Not sure when the next chapter will be out. Uploading this chapter was like planting a seed and I'll start growing it from now on.

September

• 2025-09-26 - Really proud of my latest blog post in my Dreamwidth. I reimagined Inazuma Eleven Season 1 as an interactive romance visual with branching plot lines. I have been reading visual novels for about fifteen years, growing up with Ace Attorney, 7th Expansion, Type Moon, and Key works. This post is both an homage to my favorite storytelling medium and one of the series whose fandom I have spent the most of my life on.
• 2025-09-05 - Just added a short review of Fairy Ranmaru to my Dreamwidth. It was written back in 2022 but after rereading it I found it good enough to get it off Tumblr.
• 2025-09-05 - I started writing a story focused on the Aliea Arc. It's a combination of plot-filling, headcanons, and interpretations on the events surrounding the Aliea arc. I've had this idea since I finished my first novel, Eyes and Lies which attempted to bridge Kidou and Gouenji's first year to canon. The Aliea arc is one of my favorites because they go to so many places around Japan and the trials and tribulations that push the characters to their limit. I'm super happy to be able to focus on this story from this series that's so dear to my heart!

site updates

• 2025.09.14 - Added first three chapters of Best Friends and first two chapters of Of Flowers and Mirrors. Fixed bug that prevented access to Out of Sight, Out of Mind! Eyes and Lies verse is now called The Early Years with navigation between series works.

August

• 2025-08-14 - I made a one-page linktree site! Felt like the number of accounts and sites to keep track of and making sure everything was linked was getting out of hand. Many thanks to Ade Mir for the YT tutorial and the template. It was really simple to duplicate and edit for an HTML/CSS newbie like me!

July

• 2025-07-04 - Made a dreamwidth account! Starting as an archive for my stuff from Tumblr--some pieces written between 2021 and 2022 about SasakiandMiyano, Hirano and Kagiura, and the most hated goatman from The Arcana Game. Told myself I was going to code and self-host my own blog first but I haven't decided whether to use zonelets/zonelots or a non-JS alternative. And the CSS, always the CSS is the hardest part to make up my mind about.

site updates

• 2025-07-08 - Added "Uploaded" dates to current fics, link to Dreamwidth account and ArimaMary After Dark in main page, Content Disclaimer and Copyright Policy sections in [Colophon]. Sitemap, Colophon, and Site Plans are now accessible through sitemap.
