Hope everyone has a great super bowl weekend. It’s gonna be a big one. I know there’s gonna be parties all over the place today. So drink and be merry! XD

Something to post this year. XD Hope everyone had a great Christmas as well. ^_^

Taiga begged me to keep the site alive.

Okay, seeing how everyone has jumped the bandwagon, I decided to stick around. XD Well, Nagato has given me the rights to the site so in other words…..I’m the new owner. lol To tell the truth, I really don’t feel like I am though. I think Nagato will always be the rightful owner and is welcomed to come and post anytime he/she feels like it. So is Rakuen as well but I wish them both the best. As for me, I’m on my own as of right now. If anyone knows how to web design, let me know in the comments. I’m still gonna be around and alot more active now. I gonna be updating the site little by little when I can. If anyone wants to join, let me know. But as of right now, are-are lives on!

Let’s talk one last time, in the place where everything’s weightless.

This is the final stand, the curtain, the last stair step going down and out the door. My bags have been packed since last week. Everything else will be left– the warm sofa, the crisp pillows and the comfy bed, the television, everything else.

It was a rainy day when Nagato-sama took me in. The streets were soaking with continuous rain. Downpours kept going for days. She took me in, fed me, and let me live. What a wonderful master she was; the thought reeled in my mind for months as I shared my days with her. Life was wonderful.

Not long though since my arrival to that house, Nagato-sama had to go far away. She rarely kept in touch. She rarely comes back. I lived in one house without my master, and no one else. I depended upon myself and no one else. It felt like I became the master of the house since she left the key with me. What to do? And what to make out of this hollow compartment?

The house’s about to be taken down along with everything in it– pictures, letters, and every other precious thing.

I need to move along now. I need to find a new master. Goodbye old house. I’ll leave the key under the doormat.

Rakuen’s thoughts:

Now then that I’ve got that out of my chest, I’ll leave everything with time. I’ve already completed my transfer onto my new master. My new home calls me. Everything will not repeat, but rather, I’m starting anew with everything I got here– the good times, the awesome experiences, all the good people. I will not die, I’ll just close my eyes and sleep. Tomorrow, I’ll prepare breakfast for you.\

This is my last here. Too bad I can’t stay until Christmas though.

Bye-bye, Are-Are.

ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!!!!

Yet another announcement. (I’m sure you’re all tired of this by now.)

Following an offer from Misu, I’ll be joining her on her newly created blog, Yukifuri Dawn. I won’t be nearly as active as I ever was before, but with the burden of maintaining a site off my shoulders, maybe I’ll have some motivation to write. (I actually have a couple ready-to-go.)

As for the fate of Are-are, it seems Webbmaster62 may want to keep it alive. He spoke with me the other day expressing interest, and if he decides to go through with it I’ll transfer the ownership rights to him.

Rakuen: I guess I have to apologize to you personally, since you were the only one maintaining any content on Are-are. I’m sorry for the abrupt quit announcement without telling you first. I’d invite you to come join me on Yukifuri Dawn if Misu lets you in, otherwise you can stay on Are-are if Webbmaster62 decides to take over.

*dusts hands* Well Are-are, adieu. It was a good run, I had fun, and learned things. Thank you.

This is a quitting post made by a quitter.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve been active on Are-are. I’ve always had issues with maintaining my own blog, mainly the elements of “who actually cares” and “is this useful in any sense?”. The conclusion I’ve reached on every occasion I’ve had to contemplate it is: “no”. Therefore, in order to not beat a dead cat any longer, I’ve decided that I’m closing Are-are. (This is irreversible, are-are.net is due to expire at the end of the year.)

Will I disappear from blogging? That remains to be seen. If some blog owner is willing to take me on as an infrequent writer, I would be more than happy to participate. You can either comment on this post or send me an e-mail.

As for the other writers on this blog… you can can either follow me (on an amazing mythical journey!) or pave your own way. If this news is a bummer for any of you guys, I am sorry.

That all being said, sell you all next deculture. (I finally figured out what that means!)

In my eyes, Chizuru has won the candidacy on best character in the series.

First off, let me mention that it’s good to be back. I have a bit more time for blogging for now since I’ve just got through a number of important exams for this sem. Now the problem is narrowed to finding content.

Secondly, and I’ll say this one blatantly and with good redundancy: Chizuru-sama wa sugoku kakoi da ze!

Let me get to the short talking-points, since the pictures will tell much.

1. Chizuru-sama is a TRUE FRIEND

She suggests that for Cream (some subs name her Kurimu but I refuse to spell her name like that, so kiss my arse) to attain a more adult frame, she needs to drink milk–

Chizuru: — then trip and spill it over herself.

Now, isn’t she a true friend?

Indeed.

2. Chizuru-sama makes mention of that show that I hated, but makes up for it with a jokkake

3. Chizuru-sama has a good sense of style

Yes please.

See, this is the reason why I always complain about dizziness. Apparently from blood loss.

Amen to that.

Chizuru and I can hang. Actually, our preferences match. What I’m waiting to happen next is her victimizing Minatsu, so it’ll be an all-out yurifest. Apparently she loves playing with people. She knows what she’s capable of doing (mind control FTW), and she does it a lot. There might be a “Did I Mention That Chizuru is Awesome?” post in the future. I’ll wait and see.

Now, enjoy a Cream Ending™ you pedophiles.

Best pose in the episode. Works on both genders.

Host: Today we have Professore Rakuen Ph. D. from the Are-Are Bureau of Applied Science™ to discuss to us one major breakthrough in the field of applied science. This is via video patch.

Prof. Rakuen Ph. D. via video patch

Prof. Rakuen Ph. D. : Good morning. I’m here in behalf of 50 scientists working on the project. I’m here to talk about the use of Teleportation™ for the segment of Yuri-Lust™. I have a few pictures for that experiment here. Look.

We have our test subject Misaka Mikoto who involuntarily participated for the experiment (She’s just unlucky this time), and our teleportation esper Shirai Kuroko to conduct it.

Kuroko has successfully removed Misaka’s undergarments within 1.38064658352 seconds. Very stunning results.

Host: Very stunning results indeed. Now, what are your further plans for this type of ability?

Prof. Rakuen Ph. D. : Now Rakuen plans we plan to use this on the field of Ecchi™. Also, it would be a formidable raep device in the field of pron; he already have doujinshi people scientists looking into it…

Host: What an inspiring piece.

Prof. Rakuen Ph. D. : Indeed it is. Now I’ll shift to the research on using Electricity™ for the ‘S’ in S&M. With that, thank you for having me here.

Host: Well, that has been Prof. Rakuen Ph. D. from Are-Are Bureau of Applied Science™

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Why the sudden change of heart? Why the sudden shift of interest. Maria was delightful indeed. Shannon caught my eyes. Well the others were meh. But why the change of heart I ask.

What did I see in Beatrice that I did not see in the other girls of the island so far? Cruelty? Definitely yes. Malice? Definitely yes.

Sophistication. Wrath. Power. Pride. Childishness. Cheer. Malice.

It was in the rose garden that we met. It was a brief moment designed by fate I suppose. In 3 months of my stay in the Rokkenjima I spent my days with her. I spent my afternoons with her. In my sleep she stays beside me, comforting me until she too falls into slumber. She was like any other woman I knew. But she never, in the slightest, hid her true self from me. She would slap me when I say something offensive. She would say what she wants to say no matter how piercing it is. Despite that I learned to cope to her, learned to keep her satisfied, and learned to never get tired. In return she gives me her endless faith, and her endless love.

I see wrath in her. She’s destructive. She’s always so sure, always decisive. Endlessly reaping.

I haven’t watched 5cm per second yet but the theme song brought me to tears.
