The Unwanted Secrets of Florian Part 2

This is the second part of The Unwanted Secrets of Florian, where Frostine was being taken advantage of by Kuron until Froid caught them in the act last night and she was able to go to school early in the morning feeling sick, but before that, let's talk about what happened with her and how her day at school turn out today.

Last night, while Frostine was going back to her apartment from Oshun's house, Kuron followed her into her bedroom where they introduced themselves to her angrily and they attempted to take their clothes off and they were making out, only to get caught by Froid in the middle of the act, opening the door.

Froid saw Kuron and Frostine in their underwear much to his horror that he yelled at him "What are you doing here half-naked with my sister? Put on your clothes and get out of here!" before throwing his clothes at him and slapped him with his staff to outside his sister's apartment.

Frostine got shocked and she had the talk with Froid in her bed about her first time with Kuron and how Eyan was born from his parents getting it on. He shows her a picture of Eyan with his mother Aluna fishing in the boat and told her "If he took advantage of you, then you'll have to take your responsibilities as a mother and treat his child with love and affection."

After a talk with Froid, he slept with Frostine in her bed that night until the next morning, she woke up feeling sick and prepared herself for the school by wearing her school uniform and goes to the pharmacy with him before going to school without him, where Rena gives him medicine for her to use at school.

After leaving the pharmacy, Froid gives Frostine the medicine in her bag and she walked to the school, where her homeroom teacher introduced a new classmate to her and her classmates, and the new classmate was Saphir who entered the school to learn the blessing spell to remove the curse on Yeowah. 

While Saphir was introducing himself to his classmates, Frostine felt sick in class and the homeroom teacher told the class presidents Rumo and Tien to take her to the school nurse, in which they did and while she was at the nurse's office, she saw a sleeping Lenora in a hospital bed and after a minute in the nurse's office, she went to the bathroom, where it turned out she had her period that week.

13 days later, while the school was closed for students even the following weekend, Frostine was reading books about how to use the blessing spell with Saphir and Oshun at Florian's local public library while Kuron was working as a part-time librarian, and after an hour, the three left the library. 

After they left the library, Frostine, Saphir and Oshun saw Makena trying to save a lonely calico cat and her mother from a moving car and since he didn't realize it was dangerous to get in front of a moving car, Frostine and Oshun saved him with their ice abilities, but it was too late for the three of them, as the poor cat's mother got killed by the car, which traumatized the cat herself.

Frostine felt pity for the cat and parted ways with Saphir and Oshun. After parting ways with the boys, she took her to an veterinary hospital, where the vet checked on the cat and he saw a birthmark on her paws. After an half a hour, she and the cat left the hospital. While they were on their way to the earlier's apartment, Kuron noticed her and tried to stalk her only to get caught by the undercover agent under the name of Agent Elton Siegemund.

Agent Elton detained Kuron and took him to the police station, where he got questioned over why he was stalking Frostine. After 8 hours of having a conversation with him, Agent Elton called his father who took him from the station to their house and they had the talk.

The next day, while Frostine and Oshun were making mochi to prepare for Florian's annual El Enero Nevados (lit. The Snowy January) Festival held every year on the fourth Saturday and Sunday of January, Kuron stole the keys to the earlier's apartment from Froid's coat without his permission and put an aphrodisiac on the orange juice without the two noticing.

That night, after making mochi in order to prepare for this year's El Enero Nevados Festival, Frostine went to the police department to search for the keys of her apartment and together with Agent Elton and the private detective, they searched for the keys and it turns out Kuron had stolen them and has them in his house.

Kuron heard the door knocking and opened it only to saw Frostine, Agent Elton and the private detective who was searching for the keys to her apartment, and he surrendered the keys to them before closing the door. Agent Elton got the keys and gave it to Frostine who walked on her way home while opened the door and without him noticing, Kuron stalked her into her apartment.

At her apartment, Frostine was drinking the orange juice that contained the aphrodisiac Kuron added while Froid drank water from a bottle before they arrived at the apartment, and they had the effects of the aphrodisiac that made it easy for her to get pregnant since her period ended.

Unfortunately for Froid, Kuron managed to take advantage of Frostine in her bedroom and the earlier was angry about him having his way with his sister, so he went to save his sister from him by calling the police to talk about this incident that night before Agent Elton began his job as a police officer, and he immediately came to the apartment, where Froid told him the truth about Kuron and they knocked on the bedroom door.

The door was locked and that evil Kuron was still taking advantage of poor Frostine until Agent Elton and Froid to break the bedroom door, and they got shocked about they've saw and as a result, the police officers raided the apartment and soon he got arrested for stalking and raping a minor and he was forced to register as a child predator throughout the Floriana Country including the village of Elyria.

10 days after Kuron got arrested, Elsword finally ditched his Agent Elton aliases and began his first day as a security guard for the school in the day and a police officer in the night in Florian. During biology class, Frostine felt sick and fell unconscious on her table whom she shared with her classmate Oshun, who was the first one to see her feeling sick.

As a result, Oshun told the biology teacher about what's going on with Frostine and the school nurse took her to the nurse's office, when it was discovered she was pregnant from what Kuron have done to her prior to his arrest. The school nurse also called Froid to come to the office, where he told the truth about him. 

Froid told the nurse that Kuron impregnated multiple vulnerable young girls who attended the same magic school like his sister, even former and current ones, that out of the vulnerable young girls who have given birth to his babies, some of them decided to abort, some of them are raising them and some of them gave them to adoption after giving birth to them.

As a result, Froid and Frostine went to the hospital, where she took an pregnancy test only to find out she was pregnant and began to cry and initially wanted to abort her child before changing her mind and said she would like to raise her child until 3 weeks later, her child was gone before it was even born, causing her to cry and mourn her child.

A week after mourning her child, Frostine got surrounded by the women and girls whom Kuron impregnated and they told her to look at him, who was stalking her female classmate, and she froze him from approaching her. "Think you can approach my classmate? Not today!" she said to him before saying "We'll see that in court!"

The lawyer representing Frostine and the girls and Kuron appeared in the Florian Village Court's criminal trial, with the key staff of the magic school, the women and the girls' family and the students of the magic school's parents attending the criminal trial. The magic school and the victim's family declared he's guilty. 

The final verdict by the judge sentenced Kuron to death by stoning by the Florian villagers, considering that stoning was a legal punishment that also exists in the Floriana Country as one of the many ways for capital punishment on criminals.

As a result, for saving Florian from Kuron's horrible behavior that traumatized the female population in the village, Froid, Frostine and Elsword were awarded the Order of Florian by the vice-president of Floriana Country and there was much rejoicing, until she had to learn the blessing spell with her classmates to turn Yeowah back to normal.

Now that Kuron is finally gone, Frostine and her classmates can now learn the blessing spell easily. Will they learn the blessing spell and turn the god Yeowah back to normal? Find out in the final part of The Unwanted Secrets of Florian!

The Unwanted Secrets of Florian

Here's a story set in an alternative timeline in which Frostine goes to Florian and attends the magic school there, where she meets her friend Makena for the first time in years and her new classmate then a handsome man shows up in front of them at the cafe after school, but before that, let's start with what happened last night before she attends the school and the scene where she finally attends the school.

While at the Bonfire Site, Fabian and Fawn were talking about the incident that led to Emlyn and Kiran getting angry at each other considering that she didn't like the man of her dreams the latter suggested. Later, the two saw Elsword panting and sweating with a mysterious beast following him behind and Fabian said to him "Who's that monster behind you?!"

The beast introduces himself as Yeowah and he told the three the truth about the situation. It turns out that Froid was the one who abused the sword of death and he was using it to take Elsword hostage and manipulate him into betraying his own group as well as their own sisters in the Arcane Tower that Yeowah got angry about Froid's misuse of the sword of death and he began to get revenge on those who touched that sword.

Frostine came into the site and Yeowah told her "Aren't you the little sister of the one who misused the sword of death to manipulate the one whom I've been following?" She replied with "Yes, but why did you accuse my brother of misusing that sword?" He said "Well, he abused the sword and didn't give me it back! Could you bring him please so we could talk about it."

As Frostine and Yeowah were talking about the sword of death, Froid overhears their conversation hiding in the bushes and he jumped out of nowhere to use Sabre Glacée (Frozen Saber) on Fabian and they were fighting like as if they were fencing against each other.

In the meanwhile, Yeowah helped Elsword, Frostine and Fawn find the sword of death with the purpose of stop Fabian and Froid from fighting only to saw Elona and a giant tree monster who is taking Elesis hostage blocking their way once they got the sword of death. 

Upon seeing the four with the sword of death, Elona angrily stares at Fawn and he ordered the tree to trap both and her in its strong tree branches that they couldn't escape and dropped their weapons into the ground, in which it agreed to do so. Fabian and Froid unblocked the way by using their Rune magic and they saw the two's weapons on the ground.

Fabian and Froid took Elsword and Fawn's weapons and attacked Elona with it, only for him to say "Ouch! It hurts!" and the two with Yeowah grabbed the sword of death to save both of them except for him from the tree branch but it was too strong that they cried the words "All hail the god of agriculture!", as the tree monster was trying to trap both Fabian and Yeowah in its branches, summoning a godly axe to appear behind it.

Froid and Frostine ran to the godly axe and killed the tree monster with it, saving not only both Elsword and Fawn, but Elesis, Fabian and Yeowah from them. However, the sword of death was gone and apparently, Elona stole the sword and ran away with it.

Yeowah said "Are you okay, everybody?" and he saw Fabian and Elsword falling on their knees and praying for Elesis to be alive. Their prayers became true, as she woke up to see them and say "Where am I...? Why am I here? Who are you guys?"

Yeowah said to Elesis "I'm Yeowah, the god of death and the two are your brother and cousin." She replied "Why are you a beast?" he replied back with "Iliana cursed me into a beast and the only way to get rid of is to attend the magic school in Florian and learn an blessing spell to get rid of my form!"

Elesis said "No time to talk, Yeowah. I'm going home with my brother and cousin." and left the forest with Elsword and Fabian while Fawn, Froid, Frostine and Yeowah search for Elona's whereabouts before going to sleep at a nearby treehouse.

The next morning, Frostine wakes up in the treehouse and saw an invitation flyer for a magic school in Florian, so she decided to register as a student for the school and got accepted into the school the next day.

On the day she was accepted, Frostine packs her bags and moved to an nearby apartment in Florian to attend the magic school and do her studies at both school and home with her brother Froid. At her first day at school, her class' homeroom teacher introduced her to her classmates and they were happy to see her in the school.

2 days after getting accepted to school, Frostine met Makena, Aisha and a male classmate of hers on their way to the school and the four get to know each other. Her male classmate introduced himself to the three as Oshun. He is 3 years younger than Makena and wants to learn ice magic like her, but suddenly, they couldn't enter the school's entrance door due to the curse of the sword of death.

Elona appeared with the sword of death and swings it, summoning a giant wind to blow both Aisha and Oshun away to hit Yeowah and this infuriated the latter, causing him to grab his scythe and fights with him.

Frostine and Makena ran to Aisha and Oshun, and they saw Eduun behind Elona and Yeowah, with him saying to her "Is that Eduun?! Why's he here when actually you defeated him?" "Well, he was searching for the sword of death and Elona is abusing it." 

Eduun told Elona "If you didn't give me the sword of death and put it to where it used to be, then I will make that Yeowah give your soul to me, so I'll count to five minutes." and he gave the sword of death to him, allowing the magic school to reopen.

As a result, Frostine, Makena, Aisha and Oshun went back to school and told the principal and their homeroom teacher about what happened and the four left school to do their activities.

After school, Frostine, Makena and Oshun went to the Shooting Star Cafe where they ordered a sweet star-shaped yogurt and ate it. After eating half of it, they saw an good-looking boy walking in front of their table and sitting next to them. He touches the earlier's hands and she pushes his hands off hers, and got angry at him who then told her "Calm down, young lady! Why are you angry at me like that?!"

Frostine ignored him and she ran away to her apartment to do her magic studies until she took her cryomancy spellbook and went to Oshun's house, where she helped him study cryomancy on his own and later that night, while she was going back home, that good-looking boy followed her into her apartment and all he wanted to do with her was...

Will she choose between kicking him out of the house and sleeping alone or spend the night with him together? Find out next time in The Unwanted Secrets of Florian!

One Night in Riyadh

Original date: September 18th, 2022

This story is loosely based on my maternal half-uncle's experience in Saudi Arabia and my travel experiences decades ago. I watched a video showcasing Riyadh and I wanted to write a story about travelling there, so why not introduce new characters and a unique one? Anyways, let's start.

It all started in mid-to-late July 2022, when Amina told her friend Zahra through a phone call that her father is travelling to Saudi Arabia and he told her mother he'll be taking her and her sister Naomi to visit Mecca and Medina as well as Riyadh. Upon finding out about it, her cousin inquired about her pilgrimage and asked her several questions before ending with a goodbye.

A few days later, Zahra texted her Lebanese friend Isaac what happened during her phone call with Amina and how she wanted to travel there, but turns out he wanted to travel too. Soon, they checked travel documents with their parents and with their approval, they decided to travel to... Saudi Arabia with a tour guide. 

Upon the plane reaching the King Khalid International Airport, the passengers, including Isaac and Zahra, got off the plane and they were welcomed by their tour guide Jabir. Since it was his first time knowing them three got to know about each other by handshaking their hands and since it was getting night there, the two went to his car where they stopped at his apartment and he introduced them to his wife and their two daughters, who were welcoming of them.

Upon meeting Zahra for the first time, the eldest daughter Sakina always wanted to play with her but her mother told her that it was time to sleep much to her dismay and soon everybody went to bed at midnight to prepare for the pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina tomorrow.

The next day, Jabir told his wife Adela to come with him to the pilgrimage to Mecca, leaving their daughters Sakina and Joelle alone with Isaac and Zahra, in which they did, so they drove away from Riyadh and once they're in the city, they decide to walk and surround the Masjid al-Haram, where they saw Amina and Naomi's father walking alone, who were one of the million people walking to surround the mosque itself. 

Turns out, Amina was lying to Zahra the whole time, as she and her sister Naomi were in Egypt, most particularly in her father's hometown of Alexandria with their mother the whole time and meanwhile at Jabir's house in Riyadh, Isaac and Sakina were watching videos about the Arabic alphabet on TV, when the latter's uncle Fadel came over to watch with them. 

After watching the video, they were introduced to a show called Miss Latifa's Arabic Class (which was not filmed in Riyadh, but rather in the neighboring country of Qatar), which apparently was the Arabic equivalent of Miss Aguya's Spanish Class especially made for middle and high school students taking Arabic classes. In the show, Latifa appears wearing a hijab, introducing herself to the viewers before teaching them useful Arabic lessons in a remote classroom.

On the other hand, Jabir and Adela went to pray at the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina and back at their house, Latifa knocked the door, with Fadel coming to the door and they greeted each other, before entering the house to watch an 24-hour live footage of Medina on TV with him, Sakina, Joelle, Isaac and Zahra for the entire night before going back to her grandparents' vacation home in Hail.

During the Islamic New Year, Jabir and his wife came back to their house in Riyadh where his brother Fadel told them that he raised his nieces during their absence and they thanked him for raising them, with him giving them, Isaac, Zahra and Latifa zamzam water before going back to his own house in Jeddah to look after his wife and son.

6 days after the Islamic New Year, Jabir, Isaac and Zahra went on a 3-hour-long road trip from Riyadh to Buraydah, where they decided to rest at a 3-star hotel before paying their experience at this hotel and leaving to pump gas into the car at a gas station. After pumping gas into the car, Jabir decided to drive to Hail, where Isaac and Zahra decided to go to Sakura Cafe and met Latifa, who was drinking her latte and she greeted them with respect. 

Upon leaving the cafe, she asked Jabir "Can you pick me up to withdraw my money at a ATM?" in which he agreed and soon, she went to his car where she was able to talk with Isaac and Zahra about her show 2 weeks ago. Soon, they arrived at Qurayyat, near the Jordanian border, where she was able to withdraw her money from her credit card to buy sunglasses.

Around 30 minutes later, the Saudi border guards inspected Jabir's car before they could go to Jordan, and they allowed him to freely drive after they had finished inspecting his car. By the time they entered Jordan, they decided to stay at a cheapest hotel in Azraq and spent a day before arriving to stay at Zarqa, before reaching Amman, at the headquarters of the JNA (Jordan News Agency). 

At first, Isaac got skeptical about this outlet until an talented anime artist came out of the door holding a notebook in his hands and he asked him "Can you draw me?" in Arabic, but he didn't understand him at first until he spoke to him in English and the latter drew his portrait from a paper before giving it to him, and he left.

While Isaac tried to find Zahra, she went missing and their tourist guide Jabir took him to search for her everywhere in Amman until they heard from a local resident that she was being held by terrorists affiliated with the organization notorious for Hwayeon's parents' abduction in Russia, making threats to bomb the Royal Jordanian Airlines headquarters, and they told him to call the police in order to arrest the terrorists, in which he did.

The police arrived at the scene and told the witnesses to stay away from that scene, before saving Zahra from the terrorists. She thanked everybody including Isaac and Jabir for saving her when she needed them the most. At the end of the day, the two along with Latifa went to the latter's car, where they talked about what happened during their experience in Jordan and went back to Saudi Arabia in less than a day with several gas station stops.

Back in Riyadh, outside of the Al Rajhi Mosque, Jabir thanked Isaac, Zahra and Latifa for going on an adventure with him, with the latter thanking the two for watching her show on TV, and so on, the four of them parted ways, with the three of them going to the King Khalid International Airport and the latter leaving for Bahrain through the King Fahd Causeway that links the two countries together.

At the end of their journey in Saudi Arabia, their tourist guide Jabir gave Isaac and Zahra plane tickets back to Lebanon and Egypt, before waving them goodbye and the three all parted ways with each other peacefully, and he left the airport to go back to his house, watching the two planes fly to their destined countries in the sky. Upon parking in his garage, he went to his house, and his wife opened the door, only to have an envelope of money from the tourists' parents as a result for taking care of their children. 

Now back in Egypt, Zahra came out of the plane, with her friend Amina happy to see her again outside of Cairo International Airport after a month-long journey and she invited her to her house in 6th of October. On the other hand, Isaac was now back in Lebanon, with his parents and friends happy to see him again.

At the end of the story, Zahra and Isaac started to text each other about their trip in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, with the former posting a picture of her and him with their tourist guide Jabir standing in front of the Kingdom Centre entrance.

SIN*SKI's Sordid Past

Original date: December 20th, 2020

Please don't go and attack SIN*SKI/Moarin/Solisoli, as she changed from her past and became a Twitch streamer, and has moved on for good. This is a journal to let anyone know about SIN*SKI/Moarin/Solisoli's origins and her days as an VOCALOID producer and Virtual YouTuber, but I'll not be referring to her by her name but rather as her aliases SIN*SKI during her VOCALOID era up into the Kyamjya controversy that'll be explained in an another journal, Moarin for her VTuber era and Solisoli for her current life after she retired as Moarin. Anyways, I'll talk about her early online presence and VOCALOID days first. 

In 2012, while in high school, SIN*SKI made her online presence on a now-defunct website called CreCrew (크리크루) (if you didn't know, it was a Korean video-sharing website that was created by the makers of SeeU and which focused on the Korean VOCALOID fandom, which lasted from 2011 to 2013) as an talented VOCALOID producer, and is notable for making songs using mostly SeeU and Camui Gakupo, with the latter being used for the Japanese arrangement of one of her popular songs, and even made two albums throughout her career, all of which were sold at a now-defunct doujinshi convention called Cake Square, which was cancelled in 2017. However, most of her songs can still be watched on Niconico, but the YouTube versions were kept private, even to this day.

In May 2016, an controversy over Kyamjya's high school bullying spread like wildfire around Twitter, and as a result, there was an separate controversy that resurfaced, this time of SIN*SKI, who also attended the same school as her, also bullying the others in school as well. When this controversy happened, she acknowledged being the bully and apologized on Twitter for her actions, before retiring from VOCALOID afterwards.

2 years later, SIN*SKI came back as an indie Virtual YouTuber named 모아린 (Moarin), whose livestreams focused on video games, artworks, and small talks like drinking mukbang and dirty jokes and not to mention, she often interacted in the VTuber gallery on DCinside, and since she was an talented artist since her SIN*SKI days. As her fans increased, at the same time, there were antis, also due to her generosity and the mixed reception of her livestream styles, which led to the tension between the users and the fans.

After the incident, Moarin was met with negative response and the strained friendship between the veteran users of the VTuber minor gallery, which got even worse as VTubers who were generous to her like Project Paryi (which got disbanded in April 2019)'s Alice Mana and Ena was also met with negative response, but that didn't stop them from creating their own VTuber agency named 541 E&C, whom I'll be referring to as 541, with Goblin (also a DCinside user, and changed their names to Lotamo after founding and joining 541 E&C), Kaen and Lucia. 

At first, 541 consisted of 6 members, and most of their profile pictures, character designs and images were drawn by Moarin, which were met with a negative reception even though most of her artwork are awesome. Not to mention, Alice Mana and Ena's initial character design were made by their initial character designer Paryi, while Lotamo made his character design himself as Goblin. However, despite that, most of her artwork are awesome, but it was considered ugly, and unfortunately gave her a negative reputation, which she always had since her SIN*SKI days.

Together, 541 participated in Seoul Comic World on August 2019 where they sold their merchandise, which was met with backlash since Moarin broke her promise of quitting doujinshi activities all together. Later on October of the same year, Lotamo retired from being a VTuber because of his health concerns and the agency's music composer Lorou was hired to join the agency itself, with three members, Han Chiho, Baekyeon and Mo Gaon following suit, joining the agency one month later. 

2 months later on December 2019, there was an upcoming male VTuber located in between its existing talents, named Vina (비냐) but his debut was cancelled due to the company behind the VTuber agency NIJISANJI, ANYCOLOR (Ichikara at the time of the writing this in 2010) entering the Korean market, forming the now-merged NIJISANJI KR, with 4 1st gen members joining and livestreaming at the same time and a month later, 541 merged into NIJISANJI KR, with the remaining members going into the Korean branch, which increased by 6 members (which included Moarin herself, Mo Gaon, Lorou, Kaen, Baekyeon and Han Chiho) even without an VTuber audition being held, to the dismay of the first-generation NIJISANJI KR talents.

Surprisingly enough, Alice Mana, Ena and Lucia didn't join NIJISANJI KR, as they were considering to retire from being VTubers for personal reasons, and Ena refused to talk about the matter, and didn't tell Moarin about their reasons for retiring as a VTuber. 

Unfortunately, someone posted an now-deleted allegation on the site that Moarin was SIN*SKI, which led to users knowing about that on other DCinside galleries and sites like Ruriweb and Twitter, in which 6 days later, Moarin made a throwaway Twitter account to post an apology and uploaded an apology video on YouTube. The next day on February 28th, she went live on Twitch where she explained everything throughout her last stream, before quitting NIJISANJI KR and retired from her VTuber activities.


5 days after she retired from VTubing activities, Moarin came back as 솔이솔이 (Solisoli) on Twitch, thus was able to reveal her real name and face for the first time, even though she physically appeared in her sister's livestream, wearing a white hat, back in September 2019. Since then, she broadcasted for about 9 months on the platform, and her last broadcast was on November of the same year, and her last video on the platform was her playing an obscure game called Crazy Arcade, which launched in 2001 in Korea but unfortunately was shutdown in North America in 2011 a year after it launched there back in 2010.

Recently, on December 12th, 2020, Solisoli posted a very long community post about why she hasn't livestreamed on Twitch for an month and turns out, she gave up on her livestreaming career and now works as a game developer the whole time, reflecting on her actions, and turns out, last time I checked on her YouTube channel, she made a livestream public on her channel, taking to account that she last streamed on YouTube back in April 2020.

Half a year later, on March 2022, there was a short-lived VTuber named Irua that was beloved by the global Blue Archive playerbase but hated by the Korean playerbase. Here's her only video:



If you know about the sad story behind this VTuber, here's a summary.


Irua was promoted as a part of Blue Archive's VTuber marketing campaign, which has been already done with the Japanese server with an NPC character named Arona. 


The reason why Irua was hated by the Korean playerbase is because the developers had allegedly used their money to make her project instead of fixing the game for them, her character designs doesn't fit within the game's setting and the poor art quality of her Live2D model, and honestly, I think that the playerbase themselves are at fault in the first place since they overreacted over a VTuber in the first place. 

Apparently, a Korean company under the name of PLUMVERSE was outsourced by the developers to make this video and the talent behind Irua was compared to Moarin by the Korean playerbase only for Blue Archive's producer to shutdown the rumors on Twitter, saying that she has nothing to do with the talent herself. On the other hand, PLUMVERSE went bankrupt 3 months after the controversy, following an major conflict involving one of its talents following a Discord leak, but that's another story.

What Happened to Yokai Planet Clarice?


There was a short-lived Japanese mobile game which was marketed as a MMORPG game that was shutdown 2 months after its initial release (which is an extremely short lifespan for an MMORPG), and since there weren't any English articles that cover this game, I will be writing about what happened to this game, but before that, if you don't know anything about this game, I highly recommend watching some videos covering this game before explaining it to you.




Alright then, let me explain to you what kind of game is this.

Yokai Planet Clarice (妖怪惑星クラリス) was a short-lived free-to-play mobile game originally scheduled to release in late May 2017, but was delayed to December 2017, made by the Japanese company Kola Entertainment for iOS and Android devices. It had an interesting concept of an planet whose human population are infected by a DNA virus and they were called "Yokai" by the humans on Earth, preventing them from going back to the earth.

The game's battle system consisted of Puzzles and Dragons-style puzzles in which you had to randomly use your characters and swipe the correct tiles to fight against enemies, and despite that, the developers are usually generous to the players, which is unusual for a MMORPG game, and allowed them to write scenarios in the game, and some of the game's scenarios were written by the others who were friendly to the players as well.

That's all I have to explain about this game is for those who didn't know about it, and here's how it began.

The Twitter account for the game has been created in February 2017, with weird Japanese texts and interesting character designs, and with the intent that the game will be released in May of the same year. The character designs were interesting and creepy at the same time, and the storyline, which sounded cool on paper, but not for some players.

The videos promoting this game were uploaded on both YouTube (which was taken down along with the channel itself) and Niconico, and the developers put out a poll suggesting the name of the one of the characters, and their Twitter community manager Kola (コラ), notorious for her horrible Japanese writing and unfamiliar with Japanese internet culture, had been scolded by the company themselves, posting an apology tweet and never learned her lesson, as she continued to create Twitter polls in the style of the monster with a obscure name.

For example, there was a female character with a rose for her head, donning a kimono was given a weird name and another character that resembles Pikotaro with his head being a cat, whose name was incomprehensible to the point I have a hard time pronouncing it. What the hell was their Twitter community manager thinking? The game became a meme of itself, and the characters were merely plagiarized, as its mascot character's face was stolen from another game character.

However, this game was scheduled to be released in May 2017, but was delayed to June and the closed beta test began on August of the same year, which unfortunately caused an incident in which there was a mistake with the email, leaking their email addresses to the closed beta testers, thus giving the developer a negative reputation. Eventually, the game was finally released in December 2017 for both iOS and Android devices.

However, it was released contrary to what the users had expected, and it gained positive reviews for allowing scenarios written by the players, being generous to the players and their unique gacha system, but failed to attract other players and however only attracted a few number of players. Upon its release, one of the characters have their name change and people were skeptical.

In the game, players were usually said to be together with an another if they're in the same server, and interacted with each other from day one, and there's an NPC named Clarice, in which the player can talk to her and go on quests through her, but there's an option on the menu, so they don't have to go through her. There's nothing else on the map, except that there are buttons you can touch at the bottom on the screen.

Not only that, there were three types of chat tabs in this game, unlike many other MMOs, which offers more than three chat tabs. The world chat was always accessible from any location the player is in no matter what quest they are in, and the field chat doesn't keep any logs and is barely used in the game. The management chat allowed you to directly communicate with the developers, in which one player asked them to give them diamonds for their birthday and afterwards, many players begged for free diamonds from them.

However, the developer was overly sensitive and put the word "運営(Unei)" as banned words in the game, so the players had no choice to write the word in romaji "UNEI". In addition to that, the game's main currencies are diamonds and coins, in which the former is a premium currency and can be exchanged for the latter in order to buy story quests and premium scenarios, which sounds like a pay to win moment. However, the premium currency can be obtained through login bonuses and as rewards for clearing quests, but free diamonds can't be exchanged for coins.

Although there were arguments, the developer somehow managed to gain a small number of audience and continued to operate the game, but were unprofessional due to the players pointing out a lack of salesmanship, as they were generous to the players by eliminating pay to win elements, which sounded like a good choice, and according to their Niconico livestream, the company's name was derived from the phrase "I love Koalas (コアラが大好き)" and the name of "Clarice" was derived from the main character of Silence of the Lambs, and they even announced a crowdfunding campaign, whose original video was uploaded on both YouTube and Niconico, featuring a young woman, whose face was censored by using a character from the game itself, who talked about the project, which according to her, started in 2015, and she showed us her plans on how could the game be improved.

Sadly, this game only lasted for two months, as they announced on Twitter that it was shutdown in February 23rd, 2018, with their servers and website shutting down in less than a hour, without a notice from the developers about the game shutting down, in which some of the game's writers declared that they didn't know about the shutdown and have asked the developer about their salaries but didn't get a response from them, and combined with the crowdfunding campaign, suspicion of the company themselves running away with the money and them being scammers arose. 

Some of the staff were outraged and the players as well, because one of them asked for refunds from them. Around that time, there was a crowdfunding campaign for the game on CAMPFIRE (a Japanese crowdfunding site) to develop new features for the game, which exceeded its goal of 100,000 yen (equivalent to 935 USD and 761 euros at the time of the game's shutdown in 2018, in which as of modifying this article in 2023, is equal to approximately 684 USD and 630 euros), and they weren't informed about the shutdown and were outraged at the situation, and damage was already done, as they weren't any notice about in-app purchase refunds, and there were plans to revive the game on Twitter, but the tweet was later deleted in less than an hour.

The reason why this game was suddenly shutdown was because the employees involved in the project quit the company, making it difficult for them to operate the game on their own and they'll delete the crowdfunding page on CAMPFIRE and refund the money to the backers. 

2 days later, one of the writers' salaries were paid and in less than a week, the money the backers spent on the crowdfunding campaign was eventually refunded, thus ending the CAMPFIRE incident. 2 weeks later, Yokai Planet Clarice was eventually delisted on Google Play and the iOS App Store. A few months later, on July 2018, a company called KBK Labo got the intellectual property rights of the game and took over its Twitter account through a transfer but was cancelled and deleted the Twitter account on January 2019, thus ending this game as a whole.

That's all I have to say about this game. If you have any more information about this game, let me know in the comments.

Elsword Fables Book 3 (Daystar Purgatory) Prologue

Original date: May 6th, 2023

After Fabian and Frostine purified Arusha from the Hilal Church, they continued to search for Crescentia but she was nowhere to be found, and on the way, they encountered their old friend Fawn, and thanks to Elsword, Aisha and Rena's help, they were able to find a spy who has more details on the cult, and is willing to become a part of their group. 

The spy introduces herself as Seneca, who used to be close friends with Aisha a long time ago but they gradually moved on from each other once the latter decided to go on a mission to regain her lost powers, before eventually joining Elsword's group along with Rena, called the "El Search Party", after the Ruben-based program of the same name, with the sole purpose of searching for Ruben's El several years later.

Later, Seneca tells Fabian, Frostine and Fawn that her medallion has been stolen by Crescentia, who plans to use it alongside the Primal El and the Dark El but not in the same extent as Hennon during the events of the El Tower Defense, in which when it's used alongside these two instances of the gem, it'll mark the end of the entire universe as a whole, this time for once and all.

In order to stop her, they'll have to befriend both Solace and the El Lady, but the main problem is that the El Lady herself, was nowhere to be found, and she along with Ain and Solace tried to find her, but turns out, she was taken captive by Crescentia, who stole her powers, and pretended to be her just to deceive the El Masters and the current priestesses, who were all suspicious of her since the disappearance of the El Lady herself.

On the other hand, while the El Masters and the priestesses tried their best for her to be gone from the entire world, they were unable to seal her, and had to resort into asking the creator god Elria themselves for help on how to save the El Lady, and realizing that she's in danger, Fabian, Frostine, Fawn and their new ally Seneca sets out on an adventure to save her for once and for all to end not only Crescentia, but her cult and her threats involving the complete destruction of Elrios for once and for all. 

However, just as they embark on a new adventure to defeat Crescentia, the original trio along with Noah joins alongside them in case if they were defeated by her. Will they somehow manage to achieve this rare victory against the Hilal Church and save the El Lady...? Find out in this prologue of Elsword Fables Book 3: Daystar Purgatory!

As Fabian, Frostine, Fawn and Seneca were flying in an empty place, now called the Daystar Purgatory, all the way to where Crescentia is, they happened to meet one of the members of her cult, Crystalline, who is unwilling to attack any of them, but rather cooperate with them instead to dismantle the cult as a whole. 

After Crystalline joined them as part of their quest, they notice something, which was a strange creature, who shot laser beams multiple times that they had to dodge against them, until it was eventually defeated out of nowhere. Suddenly, Seneca heard explosions coming towards them, and told her allies to fly faster as much as they can, in which they all agreed to her and flew away from the explosions as much as they can.

While the five of them were flying as usual, they encountered Rosso and Ignia being held captive by an uncertain manifestation of Crescentia's, asking our heroes for help, in which Frostine summoned multiple icicles towards the manifestation, effectively defeating it and saving them, in which they both joined the group, and afterwards, they encountered the three priestesses Artea, Gloria and Darkmoon inside a crescent orb, and as Gaia and Solace tried their best to save them, they couldn't due to Crescentia having stolen the El Lady's power, and using it to deceive them.

Crystalline told Fabian, Frostine, Fawn and Seneca about her plans to save the priestesses, ad while the five were discussing about their plans, Rosso notices Crescentia out of nowhere and said to her in a loud voice "Hey, you traitor! How dare you steal our El Lady from us!" Upon hearing his voice, she got surrounded by Gaia and Solace, who all saw her as a huge threat to them and Elrios as a whole, and just as they were going to attack her, she launched an glitter bomb at them, and disappeared.

Solace got angry and told Rosso and Gaia "That witch... How dare she blind us with a glitter bomb! Let's find a way to get revenge on her." Just as the three El Masters were talking about the glitter bomb, Denif broke the orb, freeing Artea, Gloria and Darkmoon, who all hugged their respective masters (for Artea, it was Gaia, while for both Gloria and Darkmoon, it was Solace but since the latter's master was dead a long time ago, she decided to pick her close friend's master) and thanked him for saving them.

Denif told the three of his colleagues "There's no time to talk about that fake El Lady. Let's help our allies find her." Behind him was Sasha, the water priestess, who was watching the whole scene the entire time, and asked him if she could join alongside him to help their allies find the woman who must not be named.

A few minutes later, while Ventus was going for a walk in one of the apple fields, he noticed that Lincy was missing from his shoulder and tried to find her everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found, and he saw Fawn passing by and asked her if she saw her, in which she replied by saying that she hasn't seen her before. Surprisingly, they both saw the Nightmarish Tree, who trapped Lincy in one of its roots, in which when they attacked them, it has the ability to cause them nightmares, until it was suddenly burnt by Fabian and an mysterious entity out of nowhere, rescuing her.

"No more nightmare for you guys!" The mysterious entity said. Ventus finally hugged Lincy and thanked Fabian and the mysterious entity for saving her. He eventually asks the entity to introduce himself, and the entity introduces himself as none other than Elsword himself, who wanted to help his cousin Fabian and his new allies find and defeat Crescentia. 

On the other hand, Frostine, Crystalline, Seneca along with the masters and priestesses they met on the way walked in, and the latter saw Gaia attempting to touch Artea's chest, only to get a slap from her, and the two apologized for their behavior. Suddenly, she also saw Fabian having the urge of doing the same to her even though she has a small chest, but realizing that the situation could become even worse, Elsword immediately slapped him and told him not to do the same thing Gaia did, in which he agreed and promised to him that he'll not do the same thing again.

The scene switches to Crescentia and Aisha confronting each other in the Daystar Palace with their magic, but the latter emerged victorious, with the former teleporting her back to the apple fields.

Back to the apple fields, Aisha saw that nobody was there, except for her close friend Elsword, who told her to come with him to an another place, and the two arrived in a hill, and located there was a cottage where all of her allies are staying in, and once they arrived inside, he told her that the cottage owner had back pain caused by him carrying some crates and was advised by the doctor to take a rest for an entire week, so they'll have no choice but to cook for one week.

The first day was Rena's turn. Although most elves like her can eat meat, she only cooked vegetables and soup, in which only Ventus, Fawn and Seneca enjoyed but not the others, as Fabian and Frostine saw Elsword and Aisha complaining about the food that led to their mediator herself to give them red beans to eat instead for the whole night.

The next day was Aisha's turn, and since she didn't know how to cook, Frostine helped her cook fried rice and a soup. After they were done, they were ready to eat it, but it had a intense smell into it, that even Elsword, Rena, Fabian, Fawn and Crystalline couldn't eat her meal that only Seneca was able to eat them all with one mouth. In the end, Aisha apologized for the smell, and her former friend told her that she wasn't in the wrong, and asked Frostine to apologize for what she had done.

The following day, it was Elsword's turn. He cooked some fried eggs, ice cream, fish, pork jerky as well as preparing fruits, in which everyone, including Aisha, who has lost hope over cooking, complained about it, that led to his uncontrollable anger that he told them to shut up, when Denif calls him out for being disrespectful towards him, and he apologized to him, then they all ate their lunch peacefully .

The next day however was Seneca's turn. She cooked a huge steak made from Berthe's remains, to the horror of everyone except for her, which led to Elsword and Aisha harshly scolding her for her food that they got disgusted of it, and told everyone else not to eat her food, and thus everyone starved for the entire day.

4 days later, everyone was done with their cooking that the cottage owner came back. Meanwhile, at an empty house covered in a forest, Crescentia and the Ebalon impostor, later revealed to be Dantelion, covered in a brown cloak, were watching upon a magic floor and she said to him "The spell is now done. Now, time to kill these parasites." while manically laughing with him.

Will this mark the end of the whole Elsword universe? Will Fabian, Frostine and their new allies somehow manage to defeat Crescentia and her cult before it's too late...? Find out in Daystar Purgatory!

Elsword Gets Hornty 2023 Remake Script

Original date: January 14th, 2023

Inappropriate soliciting ensues, and our story's protagonist is now back, this time for this video and the YunokiRoom Wiki's 4th anniversary, and a script whom I'll be converting into a video once I've done all of the artwork for the scenes that'll imitate the original video and original scenes that doesn't resemble closely to the video but made of my own imagination. 

Anyways, without further ado, let's begin this weird story, shall we?

Lucero and Yuhan watches a video featuring Elsword getting blasted away by Ain and they all laughed out loud, before eventually falling to the ground and dying from laughter, with Yunoki walking in and said "What the hell is going on here..."

The scene switches to Elsword playing with himself in bed, thinking about Frostine, who rejected him the same way she did to Tiya and unlike him who lost interest in her after getting rejected, he still wants to win her heart without being noticed as a pervert. Upon getting out of his bed, he walks outside of his house only to stop by Rena's house and walked to the door, in which he realized that it was locked and supposedly found a way to break into her house by kicking the door wide open.

To his surprise, Rena wasn't here, but rather her friend Fawn, who stayed in for a sleepover party tonight. She asked Elsword about why he's here and they bowed down to each other, before he questioned her about the former's whereabouts, only for her to show up wearing lingerie, and the latter told him to get out of her friend's house before it became even more worse, but he didn't listen to her by taking off his pants and she immediately ran away from him in disgust.

Meanwhile, Frostine was looking at them through the door, and got disgusted of what she saw behind the scene, without realizing that the situation could escalate into something worse, and hid behind the bookshelves of the library in a way that her crush wouldn't be able to sleep with her. 

The scene switches to Aisha trying to read one of the books in a library, and Elsword walks up to her, who asked him several questions, in which he lied about trying to help her, only for them to sleep together without her consent, and Frostine ran away to the rooftop, where Add and Rose were talking about what happened and what they saw at the library.

Meanwhile, at a shrine, Eve wasn't there, instead a caretaker shrine maiden was in her place, which turned out to be Yule, who told Elsword to get out of here and find a place to wash himself before meeting her, and behind the former was Frostine, who was hiding the whole time, and upon the latter noticing her, she aims her icicles at him, who broke them and ran away from the two of them to hide behind Laby's house where she received a box of cigarillo from an anonymous seller.

At the other side, while Laby was counting coins at her house whom she operates as a shop to sell her unused items, she saw Elsword who had just arrived to her house out of nowhere and welcomed him to her house, only to remove her shorts, revealing a censor bar and he pins her to the wall, only for her to push him away, and upon seeing her boyfriend Noah walking with a chancla, he left her house shortly after, screaming "Oh crap!".

The scene switches to Ara throwing coins at a donation box of an abandoned shrine, in which she prayed and walked to sit in the stairs near the torii gate to drink green tea. To her surprise, Elsword came out of nowhere and she asked him about why he came here in the first place, and she cried upon getting taken advantage of by him. After that, at a teahouse, once he arrived there, he stopped by Ain and his own sister Elesis, who were defending Frostine the whole time.

Ain then reveals that he's been watching him the whole time and exposed his lurid history, before challenging him to a fight, which ended with the former blasting him away, and Frostine thanked him for getting rid of her problem, with Elesis running to scold her own brother and Ain himself putting MLG glasses at the end of her dream. 

As soon as we reach the end of the script, we realized that Frostine had a nightmare about that horrible experience and saw her boyfriend Makena cuddling her in her bed, trying to make her forget about her friend Elsword, who suddenly shows up out of nowhere and ran away with her to an unknown place somewhere, to her boyfriend's horror that he starts to search for her everywhere but she was nowhere to be found at the end of the video.

Will Makena save Frostine and deal with the situation with her friend? Find out next time in Elsword Gets Hornty Part 2...

Next time on Elsword Gets Hornty Part 2:

Makena, determined to find his girlfriend, goes to Eden City, where he asked everyone in the city about where she was and only 5 people responded, with one of them being Elona, who said that he lived in the same apartment room as them. 

Unfortunately, according to the other who also lives in the nearby room, it was revealed that Makena failed to save Frostine in time and things turn for a worse, as Frostine slept with Elsword in bed and she broke up with her boyfriend a few days later, leaving him devastated and betrayed. It was at this moment Makena knew... he fucked up.

The Yandere Simulator Dev Predatory Scandal

Original date: October 2nd, 2023

I originally posted this on Tumblr, but since it didn't gain enough attention, I'll be posting it on DeviantArt instead. Please note that this journal is meant to report on insights based on allegations and is not meant to harass anybody involved in the situation.

Please note that this journal is meant to report on insights based on allegations and is not meant to harass anybody involved in the situation.

Remember the game called Yandere Simulator, who most of you may have been familiar with for being notorious for being in development hell for almost 10 years since 2014, when it began to be covered by many popular YouTubers, and multiple personalities alike back in the day? 

Back then, I was just starting elementary school at the time and I used to play that game before on my old computer a few years prior to its death in September 2020, but I was eventually discouraged from it by my parents so I completely forgot about it for 3 years.

That is, until one day in July 2020, one of its official subreddit, who I used to join and had since left, had been taken over and hacked by someone on Kiwi Farms, which has been one of the few times that made my day on Reddit better.

3 years after this incident an old friend of mine that I had since 2015 decided to post a temporary YouTube community post exposing the developer's actions the other week and has since disappeared.

Recently, there have been scandals towards the original creator of Yandere Simulator, who had been controversial for the fact that he had been notorious for refusing any useful advice from people online, and doing no effort to change his own life since prior to his years posting on Gaia Online, whose former longtime users had enough and were all sick and tired of his actions, and had been preying on underage users for a while, even before he started to groom someone named Sisefs, otherwise known as "Victim Zero", who was 14 back in 2009 and is currently in their late 20s, to the point they treated them like trash.

I wasn't surprised this happened for over a decade, as this person just recently came back to write on their Tumblr blog a few days ago and someone got in touch with them through a YouTube video that I highly recommend also watching below, which has sadly since been taken down by YouTube due to it violating their TOS, and has since been reuploaded on Rumble that you can watch by clicking the link.


Recently this year, undeniable evidence consisting of conversations and calls, revealing the proof that the original creator of the game had preyed on an underage fan of the game, who he had known for 7 years since 2016, and is only referred to by the game's former fanbase as "Jelly" and "Jane" but whom I'll be referring to as "Victim A", who is about 4 months older than I, had resurfaced online last week.

Not to mention, the creator not only pressured Victim A into the point he threatened them, but had doxxed them and committed identity fraud by using their real name to take down Ally's video through a fraudulent copyright takedown, and thankfully the video has been reinstated for now thanks to Victim A's help. 

Here's Ally's video regarding the matter that I recommend watching:

Additionally, this resulted in most of the game's volunteers, including the voice actors of the characters of the game, several game artists, and a third-party developer, known for developing the game Dark Deception, who decided to no longer sell the Yandere Simulator DLC for their game, and the rest of the people involved in the game's development from day one, cutting ties with him, according to a Reddit post.

I checked into the original creator of Yandere Simulator's blog, and from what I've heard, the posts were incomprehensible at all, as they started to victim-blame their own victims while playing the victim card, so to me, they're untrustworthy towards underaged fans of the game, unforgivable and isn't willing to change at all due to their predatory behavior towards minors, I'll no longer be supporting the game and the developer themselves for good, in solidarity of the victims involved in the situation, especially to Victim Zero and Victim A. 

Anyways, here's a message to all victims of said creator, if you're reading this, I wish you all good luck in your future endeavors and make sure to stay away from that predator as far as possible. 

And for more information regarding this situation, I highly recommend watching these two videos above and keep in mind that I'll be updating this with more information as I can find from other people.


UPDATE (as of October 30th, 2023):

Anyways, from what I've heard, the original creator of Yandere Simulator was lying to their fans on their WordPress blog post and at one point there was a comment on YouTube that stated that they pretended to be an concerned fan online and played the victim card by using autism as an excuse but that doesn't mean that they are a predator and criminal, taking to account that their main target audience were mostly people aged between 11 and 34 years old as of October 2023.

It doesn't help that the age of consent in California, where they live, is 18, but how come hadn't they surrendered themselves to the police yet? It seems unlikely.

Apparently, it seems that their Discord account had been disabled, and as of recently, their Twitch account had been banned that evening after the allegations came to light, which turned out to be a permanent ban according to a Twitch partner on Twitter, and not to mention, Yandere Simulator has been banned on the platform since 2016, for having questionable content involving its supposedly underage characters, who are assumed to be middle school students, based on their school uniform, and thankfully, there's a comic on Reddit that I recommend reading, which summarizes everything that's going on about the situation right now.


UPDATE (as of June 20th, 2024):
Another victim has come forward on Reddit, posting their experience with this person on the r/Osana subreddit as well as the evidence detailing his predatory behavior towards them on a Google Drive folder that I recommend reading.

UPDATE (as of July 22nd, 2025):
It's been almost 2 years since the allegations were made public.

I checked out the Google Drive folder that was linked on Ally's other video covering the situation that was posted 4 months prior to the last update.

From what I can find on the Google Drive folder, Victim A was revealed to be an abuser, who put herself in dangerous situations by teaching other minors how to extort money from child predators on Discord, not to mention blackmailing them and having a long history of interacting with those predators.

Honestly, after seeing her sordid past, I hope Victim A reflects on her own actions before it's too late.

UPDATE (as of August 8th, 2026):
After the allegations came out about the predator in question, he made a now-privated video basically featuring himself where he basically denied being the perpetrator and played the victim card in front of his viewers.

Almost 3 years later, he made a now-deleted comment on a YouTube video where he was completely denying the allegations that were made against him and thankfully someone managed to screenshot it before he took it down.

Little did he know, the person who made the video he commented on called him out in their YouTube community post below and turns out they were right about him:

Please note that while I completely lost interest in this game for unrelated reasons from his predatory behavior towards minors that I found out about 6 years ago, I do not support his actions in any way, shape or form.

Also, to YandereDev, if you're reading this, you are nothing but a danger to women, especially young girls who you basically admitted to be hitting on in the past.

Right now, my only hope for you is to turn yourself in to the cops and make sure that you stay away from all women ever again.

What Happened to the Kidmo Affair?

Original date: March 2nd, 2022

Remember the controversy that involved an talented artist whose art is mainly inspired by those realistic female characters shown in the Korean MMOs Vindictus/Mabinogi Heroes, Black Desert Online and Lost Ark as well as being similar to SakimiChan's art? 

Well, if you didn't know, Kidmo was an talented artist who has a passion for drawing and notorious for drawing NSFW art, in which I wouldn't show you due to DeviantArt's policy towards adult content, but I'll show you some of his SFW art before talking about how his career went downfall. 

Apparently, prior to the controversy, which will be the main subject of this journal, he was an established YouTuber on his own right who taught people how to draw art and was good friends with other YouTubers, who later cut ties with him due to the incident.


Back in November 2020, South Korean news outlet Yonhap News posted an news article and uploaded a video on YouTube titled "'19금 일러스트' 그려서 연봉 5억 번다고? (lit. Saying that you made 500 million won a year by drawing NSFW?)", with an image of Kidmo's art, along with a screenshot from his KDA Ahri speedpaint video, in which the finished art is currently his profile picture.


Not only that, 2 months prior to Yonhap's video, an underrated Korean channel dedicated to Dungeon Fighter Online which is also known as Dungeon and Fighter in Korea, uploaded a video about the incident which became the most popular video on that channel.

In addition to these two videos, Kidmo mainly uploads his own videos through his YouTube channel, which hasn't been updated since June 2021, so here are some of his videos before giving you a proper summary.


How was these three videos? Anyways, without further ado, here's a summary of the incident.

Kidmo found out that his art was stolen without his permission by someone on a piracy website and asked them to take it down only for them to reject his request unless the original copyright holder can only request their works to be taken down.

In the end, Kidmo decided to prove to the piracy website that he was the original copyright holder of his art by registering the copyright for it with his personal information only to get in trouble for violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sex Offenses last year. 

In addition to the trouble, the reason I think was because the characters in his art were considered minors by South Korean law.

Anyways, in addition to his art which mainly consists of fanart and realistic women and comics, Kidmo drew art for three Steam games called Wish Paradise High, Secret Pie and Secret Series: BJ, all produced by the developer Momentum Games. 

A month prior to his disappearance, Kidmo posted his last Patreon post where he gave his patrons game activation keys to Wish Paradise High and instructed them on how to put the keys on the Steam client which will automatically install the game on their computer.

Additionally, to make matters worse, there were also leaked KakaoTalk screenshots of him allegedly committing tax evasion and making disparaging comments about job applicants and college students, and currently, the tax evasion situation is under investigation as of writing.

Apparently, Kidmo came back on April 28th, 2022 and uploaded an new artwork while at the same time deleting his NSFW art from his Pixiv and Twitter accounts as well as taking down his Patreon and Gumroad pages. 

However, the NSFW art in question still remains on his account on here, Newgrounds and other platforms to this day. 

Not only that, he posted an fanart of Yor from SPYxFAMILY taking a blood bath 3 days later, with an DC Inside user getting their comment deleted from the Pixiv comments of the post in the same day as well as the post getting deleted after. 

There were also 2 posts related to the situation on DC Inside, with OP posting a screenshot of the results they found on the Korean criminal justice portal website with their phone and along with posting a screenshot of their KakaoTalk texts in the first post along with a second one in which OP sent a screenshot dating back to February 2022.

Apparently, Kidmo came back to post two fanarts for a obscure Japanese mobile game called Yggdra Resonance in a single week, which looks great, but sadly, he posted a message implying his return and since then there have been no updates from him afterwards.

UPDATE (as of April 8th, 2023):
Since it's been a year since the persecutor for the case involved were changed, there have been no updates on the trial whatsoever and we have no updates from both parties involved, to this day.

UPDATE (as of November 13th, 2023):
2 weeks ago, Kidmo recently posted a new fanart, this time of Ahri from League of Legends, on his pixiv account and started livestreaming and uploading on YouTube a year after he stopped uploading videos there in 2021 and his final video and post was yesterday.


Not to mention, according to his livestream, Kidmo was sentenced to 3 years of prison, community service, 4 years of probation, along with the money he earned from his Patreon and Gumroad accounts and the hard drive being seized.

UPDATE (as of February 21st, 2024):
It has been almost 2 years since this journal has been written. After a 2-year disappearance, Kidmo finally came back on November 2023, posting an new fanart of Ahri from League of Legends, on his pixiv account, and going live days later. 

Turns out, according to his livestream, he was sentenced to three years in prison and a four-year suspension along with the money he earned from both his Patreon and Gumroad accounts being seized, which turned out to be most of his fortune, according to him.

Not to mention, in his livestream, he told the story about what happened a few years ago, and mentioned that after his house got raided by the police, he was forced to sort the files, which was worth four terabytes to determine the way he had drawn, before claiming that he was on vacation and was later treated as if he turned himself to the justice.

While in trial, he claimed that the prosecutor who was in charge of his case asked for a three-year prison sentence for an another individual when the judge actually sentenced the individual to a year and a 2-year probation, (taking account that in South Korea, rape isn't punished this severely), while also claiming that the said prosecutor asked for a five-year prison sentence, ten years of disclosure along with the seizure of his house when the judge actually sentenced him to three years in prison, community service, a restriction on job offers, four years of probation, a sexual assault treatment class, the seizure of his house and fortune, and to make matters worse, his appeal was denied even though he primarily drew fictional characters and the individual who the prosecutor of his case was in charge of, got away with rape scot-free.

The main reason as for why Kidmo hasn't made a public statement, was because he was in the middle of a trial, and after the trial was over, he made an constitutional complaint and claimed that the content of the KakaoTalk screenshots was fake while the contents couldn't be released because the chat in question got nuked, and that's because the person who was saying about the derogatory remarks never said anything, so its authenticity is unknown.

On the other hand, 3 months after his return livestream, Kidmo's YouTube livestreams were being mass reported for no absolute reason, so he announced that he'll be livestreaming on CHZZK, which was created by NAVER as a refuge for Korean streamers after the announcement that Twitch was ceasing operations in South Korea, but unfortunately, his stream was cut short thereby after and his beta tester rights were revoked, due to CHZZK's policy of banning streamers who have a criminal record, in similar fashion to Twitch's off-service conduct policy, and he announced on his YouTube community post that he was permanently banned from the platform and decided to move into an another platform to livestream.


UPDATE (as of November 25th, 2024):

It's been 9 months since Kidmo stopped posting content on social media, including both his YouTube and AfreecaTV channels.

Eventually, his first trial was made public through Namuwiki, and turns out, the final verdict on the first trial was that the court sentenced him to 3 years in prison, a 4-year suspended sentence, attend 40 hours of sexual assault treatment classes, 480 hours of community service, along with a 3-year ban on working in youth-related organizations and welfare facilities for people with disabilities, and a fine of 200 million Korean won (equivalent to 191K USD) that he has to pay, after his computer and external HDD got seized.

However, he tried to appeal for the first time, only for his sentence to be upheld and this led to him appealing for the second time, which led to it being reversed and the sentence being affirmed, with his arguments being rejected.

At least things are going well for him in the end.


It's been a year since Kidmo stopped posting content on social media. 

UPDATE (as of March 20th, 2025):

Recently, earlier this year, he's finally back with new art for his new game on his Twitter and pixiv account, and thankfully, he's alive and doing okay the whole time, as a new game featuring his own art was launched on Steam by Momentum Games, which was the same company, whom he outsourced most of his art to and worked with on their previous games Wish Paradise High and the first two installments of their Secret Pie series, and is planned to release within Q1 2025.

Unlike his other games, this game in particular, Streaming ON! VTuber Training, actually has an interesting premise of the two leads starting a new VTuber agency from scratch after a betrayal, but sadly, it contains AI-generated content, as shown on the female lead's VTuber chibi portrait, along its involvement within some of the backgrounds and the NSFW scenes.

In this game, the player plays as a male lead, who starts a VTuber company, consisting of several well-known streamers, but everything came crashing down on him after he lost his job, money and home all thanks to Bitna's false accusations, and thankfully for him, he actually has people who are still on his side, including the female lead Hanna, and together, they both created a new company with the goal of making her the most successful in the entire industry.

Not only that, Kidmo also commented on a YouTube video, confirming that he was being investigated for violating the said law even though there were no victims involved and that the uploader was right the whole time, as he was found guilty in the first trial and appealed several times to Korean court only for them to be dismissed, in which he also said that his constitutional appeal is in progress, but the court refused to address his case and extended it for an indefinite amount of time.

5 years had passed since, and he's almost letting go of this situation, only to never return again.



The Rise and Fall of Anjeon Gajog (Safe Family)

Original date: September 30th, 2021

If you are wondering what happened to the webseries and want to know more about this series, then here's an explanation of what is Safe Family, otherwise known as Anjeon Gajog (안전가족).

Safe Family was a series of Korean videos created by the Korea Fire Service and was shown often on every schools in South Korea. The main characters of the series consists of Haengdong Kang (강행동), his parents Seonbong Kang (강선봉) and Haebi Jun (준비해), and his grandmother Joeon Myung (명조언). There are several supporting characters in this series, especially Haengdong's friend Yeongho and their teacher who has no other known name.

However, according to Namuwiki, there was a theory that Jahyung Gu (구자형) was the voice actor of Seonbong Kang but he debunked it by saying that he isn't the voice actor of the character, and it was assumed that Yeongho was voice acted by Jungun Yang (양준건), who was miscast as him but his mature voice is unsuitable for characters who are elementary school students.

Back in October 2020, the South Korean Ministry of Public Safety and Security took down the fanmade videos, fanart, meme videos and playlists except for the English dubs which was still left intact as of 2021.

Recently, since as of late 2020, YTP YouTubers are moving on making content out of other series like the Korean flash webseries Chocohana (초코하나) and the Korean manhwa and anime series Black Rubber Shoes, and their own original content like Safe Family.

That's all I have to talk about Anjeon Gajog. However, to the South Korean Ministry of Public Safety and Security, this is a journal to let anybody know about this series. Please do not take it down. Thanks.

What Happened to Kyamjya?

Original date: September 13th, 2021


Remember 캼쟈 (Kyamjya)/piyo/ppotatto? Well, since she has several aliases online, I'll call her Kyamjya in this journal.

Kyamjya is a 24-year-old artist who is known for drawing Cyphers fanart and the artist of the webtoon 그곳에 천사가 있었다 (Geugos-e Cheonsaga isseossda; lit. There was an Angel) which was serialized on the Korean niche webtoon hosting website KTOON (formerly known as Olleh Market Webtoon prior to August 2016) in early March 2016. She also has an amazing artstyle despite her flaws, which currently can be only viewed on her Tumblr account (which has been hacked by a third-party) and her Piapro account. Here's some examples of her art before we talk about her dark past.

Most of them are quite great, but I can't believe that this person has wasted her talent by doing something horrible 9 years ago. Here's how it all started:

In May 2016, an throwaway account exposed Kyamjya's past behavior on Twitter and they claimed that they were a student of the school she was attending. However, this account has posted videos (people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) please don't watch) and they told us not to reupload their videos anywhere so I will not show you guys their videos.

Anyways, while in high school at the time in 2013, Kyamjya, at the age of 16, along with the three other students, had bullied the students, who were about her age, by forcing them to call them upperclassman, wear black slippers, colorful clothing and Adidas-branded jerseys. If their victims disobeyed them, she'll often bully and force them to do a position, in which one of the female victims had to be hospitalized for an surgery that costed 3 million won (approximately 2,000 dollars and euro as of 2023). When the bully was suspended from the school, her parents also bullied her victims and called them names.

3 years later, now at the age of 19, Kyamjya wrote an apology message on Notepad and posted it on Twitter as well as posting an apology 9 days later on her Naver blog whom she have abandoned since 2016. 

However, the victim told us not to share personal information of the former high school students including Kyamjya herself, at the time so we'll not be sharing personal information of them to protect their privacy.

As the controversy was being widely talked about by netizens, they decided to boycott the webtoon Kyamjya worked on by sending its host multiple emails and customer support tickets, in which the writer (who was one of the two people working on the webtoon besides her) posted the end of the webtoon on its last page and she posted an apology about the end of her webtoon.

Not only that when she was underage, she also drew R-18 content, doujinshi, did a R-18 commission as well as underage drinking and doing low-quality commissions. It was also revealed that she also ran an Twitter account named Ellie's Diary whom she abandoned in January 2016 and is still up even as of today. 3 months after her controversy, there was an impostor that a doujinshi circle called out

3 years later, another throwaway Twitter account posted an document about Kyamjya, who used the aliases of PUNCHI and Masb (맛브) before and now going under the aliases of Gyoyangin (교양인) (who she later deleted after this expose was made) and another person named Vesa from their lawyer's advice as well as posting 5 of of the former's drawings. Lately, they have been responsible for cyberbullying others and according to the person who wrote this document, they have contacted the person who literally sold their account while Kyamjya (under the Masb aliases) was playing Mabinogi at the time and turns out, they revealed her real name.

Remember one time when Kyamjya/Masb deleted her other account just after there was a question on Peing (a Japanese question box website) that said "트친 중에 캄쟈가 있다면 어떻게 할 것이냐 (lit. What would you do if there were Kyamjya among us?)"? I'm sure that the throwaway account knew it.

In their conclusion, Kyamjya supported cyberbullying by leaking private KakaoTalk texts with others to Vesa. 

Anyways, prior to the cyberbullying expose, there was an traditional artist going by the name of Songjin Art, who did the same exact things as Kyamjya.

Unlike Kyamjya who mainly focuses on digital art, Songjin Art was an artist who focused on traditional art and got in trouble back in 2019 for being an radical feminist by offending men from her country of origin by referring to them with misandrist words. What's even worse is that she used a word made by users from a website created by toxic feminazis and plagiarized other artists like Meyoco and Rocoa as well as stock images without their permission.

In addition to the plagiarism, Songjin faked signing an contract with Disney and cyberbullied a foreigner who was a fan of Meyoco's art, only to delete her YouTube videos and disable her YouTube and Instagram comments as well as taking down her Instagram and Twitter accounts. However, from what I've seen, Songjin's YouTube channel, ArtStation, Reddit and Patreon accounts are still up even to this day.

UPDATE:

A Mabinogi fan posted on Twitter that they got sued by Kyamjya, who was now in her mid-twenties, and her friend Vesa, sending screenshots of the document, giving the proof that they were sued two times in 2021 and 2022 and sent a link to their Notion site, detailing most of the information about the lawsuit, and not only that, the person behind the throwaway account that was created in September 2021 was also sued as well, posting legal documents on their side, revealing that PUNCHI was Kyamjya's username in Mabinogi and describing the game itself, and explained about her past life and cited her school violence case on NamuWiki, which was even made worse by the fact that Kyamjya's reputation was already known on the entire Korean internet, even on Korean search engines and had lied in her complaint, and to end things up, the throwaway account asked that if she has anything to say about this situation, she can contact them directly or through their lawyer. Anyways, Vesa seems to know what Kyamjya's up to, and usually answers on her behalf, posting her KakaoTalk screenshots. 

Additionally, a Korean Mastodon instance named parfait.day, popular with Mabinogi players and fans alike, and one player warned that those, including Vesa and Kyamjya, and those who support their cyberbullying actions will be banned, as one of Kyamjya's friends have been banned from there as well.

To conclude into my analysis, Kyamjya is still alive, and in conclusion, after writing the document, the throwaway account apologized to the Mabinogi community and certain Twitter users, and thanked Kyamjya's victims and the petitioners, hoping that drama and the cyberbullying culture will end in that community. 

Not long after, Kyamjya created a Twitter account, this time as PUNCHI, calling out those who exposed her and sending KakaoTalk screenshots, along with a link to her document on Google Docs, only to get called out by the person behind the throwaway account for playing the victim card, and posted text describing her past.
