High school student by day, magical girl by night! ★ Super highschool level dork with a big heart for anime, street fashion, cosplay pop culture, & everything in between Hi i'm Rachel, but you can call me Tofu~ i post all sorts of things from updates to tutorials and ootds! Why don't you stay a while?? :3
(more about me if you click the bumblebee, & drop me a comment by clicking the clock ♥) Enjoy~
否极泰来
There is always calm after the storm.. ♡
I know i've been gone for quite a bit, but - i'm finally finished with 11th grade! Eeehehehe ^^
So now i've had quite a bit of time (a bit too much time, really) to play my favorite game for the past few months, Team Fortress 2 on Steam!
(if you already know what it is / don't care to read about my backstory then skip below to the kawaii border~ LOL)
Team Fortress 2 is an MMOFPS game - "Massive Multiplayer Online First-Person Shooter" where you go onto a server and play real-time with others all around the world!（ ´∀｀）and basically, you choose the mission you want to play (King Of The Hill, Capture The Flag, etc.), choose your team (Red vs. Blu), choose your character class, & shoot EVERYTHING. Well no, just the team you're playing against, but still. Heehee~
It's a ton of fun, seriously every single time I play (which is 3-4 hours a day.. oops) it always leaves me in hysterics, simply because of how utterly chaotic it is! And not to mention, as of a year or so ago it became free to play!! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ people who purchased it beforehand get bonus perks and whatnot including a soldier's hat called the Proof of Purchase (which I have), but F2P players can get the other added perks just by making a purchase in the in-game store.
My brother actually introduced me to this game many years ago when it first came out, he even bought me my very own copy when it went on sale for $2! I absolutely fell in love with its cartoony graphics, unique characters + their hilarious taunts, & maps (and this is coming from someone who really dislikes common FPS's such as Call of Duty) and ever since then I just played on my dad's account, racking up hours, points, weapons, hats.. until i saw that my friends had their own Steams, and I had the bright idea to make my own Steam account ;__; so I have virtually nothing on my current Steam and it registers me as F2P until I make a purchase!! (´Д｀。)
Which is why I come to you all with my current wishlist~ of items from the in-game store, Mann. Co! :3
The scout being sassy as always. D: LOL (i'm cosplaying as him for Anime Expo in LA next week, come say hi!!!)
The Wishlist:
1. Taunt: The Schadenfreude
2. Melee Weapon: Ham Shank
3.Melee Weapon: Atomizer
Nothing too major! Just a few things I'd really like to have :3 of course, there's like a gazillion hats I'd like but.. c'mon. Paying real currency to an in-game hat, I haven't sunk that low yet.
1. The Schadenfreude
((WARNING: CARTOON BLOOD))
"Schadenfreude (ʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This word is a loanword from German, the direct English translation is 'Damage-Joy' or 'Fail-Joy', it is the feeling of joy when one sees another fail, and is also borrowed in some other languages."
I really love this taunt cause it's just so absolutely hilarious! The way the Scout laughs, as shown in the video, is just too funny hehe. Plus doing it after you kill someone will totally make them angry! o(｀ω´*)o oh how i wish it wasn't almost $8 ;__; I'll probably end up buying it anyway...
2. Ham Shank
((WARNING: CARTOON BLOOD))
This melee weapon is pretty much for novelty, but don't you think it'd just feel so satisfying knowing you hit someone with a ham shank~? °˖✧◝(⁰ ▿ ⁰)◜✧˖° hehe. *whack whack whack* this is $2.49.
3. The Atomizer
((WARNING: CARTOON BLOOD))
I really like this bat! Scout uses this one (he's known for his baseball bat) and basically it's a pretty standard weapon, but it also grants you the ability to triple jump. Each average hit knocks off about 28-32 damage, which is not too bad! Also, it grants you the Home Run taunt kill, shown at 0:30 in the video which i'm DYING to have! :D
Well that's pretty much it~ this was a pretty lengthy post for just a wishlist, I know LOL. But man, it sucks being on a new Steam and barely having any items :C all I have are random weapons but, I'm gaining achievements pretty quick, I've unlocked about 25 in the past two days.
I really really encourage anyone considering this game to play it! It's SO much fun, and so soooo addicting.
And last but certainly not least, if you have Steam, feel free to add and we can play a round or two! :D
My username is racheltofu, & my display name is mahoushoujo. (✿◠‿◠) since Steam is registering me as a F2P account i can't add people myself yet :c but if you friend request me, I can accept! :3
I got random inspiration to make a blog post today, weird huh? O_____O ;
So my friend Kiersten showed me some items on Rakuten, which is basically like Japan's eBay / Taobao. I stay far away from shopping services (to buy on Taobao, which is China's eBay, you have to use a shopping service and the site is only in Chinese) but she told me a lot of Rakuten sites do international shipping, + the site has an English version! Score~
So, after doing some investigating of my own, welp.... ;_____;
Isn't it all so beautiful ;______; i'm so in love with Japanese-style street punk and the punk style here too, i just wanna buy all the things~ everything except # 7 are from a Japanese street style brand called Super Lovers! I'm in love with their clothing~ and it's not super expensive either for being brand.
I have a pair of high-waisted double zipper shorts that would go perfectly with that red cardigan ;__; + black rocking horse shoes. & I'd pair leggings + black chunky platform boots or black creepers & a black puffball beanie with the stripe top, and the pastel cardis with the chain skirts with a pair of super cool tights. Online shopping, y u do this to me? This comes out to about $200 before shipping ;______________; OTL.
There's also this skirt that I've been super duper eyeing on Bodyline as well~
I would cut off the lace & it would go so perfect with everything oh my goodness ; A ;
Well that pretty much concludes my post~
Thanks for reading about all the things I want LOL *sigh*
As promised, here's my post on my February wishlist! I've found SO many amazing & cute things lately, asdfghjkl I wish I could have it all. I'm also so absolutely lazy with sourcing the items, so instead of sourcing them, I'll just tell you the product names~~
Okay guys so, these are all the wonderful things I've come across! The headband is from the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, & it's just so perfect, I love Kyubey and all his evilness. :c
I want the Nikes because I'm slowly getting back into my healthy fit lifestyle, which is something I encourage all of you to do as well. ^^
Tomatos are very good for the skin, & I've heard great reviews of this tomato cream, that it evens out your skin tone too!
Lately I've also fallen in love with the tattoo tights look, but when the tights have a LOT of print on them. So these are basically perfect for me. Same with the platform converse look, but I only like low-tops as high-tops make my legs look quite chubby~
And then all the clothes are self explanatory, heheh. ^w^
Welp that's pretty much it, could you guys let me know if you like these kinds of posts in comments below? It would mean a lot!（＾ｖ＾）
