Welcome to c.rimson. l.otus., this is Ashiiya. This is actually my first site after 7 years of simply using blog sites.

The words “crimson lotus” reminds me of three things:
-
*That awesome song Guren by The GazettE. The actual word “guren” only means crimson, but people translated it to “crimson lotus” for whatever reason =_= either way, it’s a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics. Take a look see ;]
*A quote from Raven, a character in a friend’s “developing” story: “Why I compare humanity to the Crimson Lotus…. The original beautiful lotus is so fragile and so easily tainted that once a single drop of crimson blood touches it, it soaks in and eventually reaches the lotus’ core, thereby completing the transformation into the crimson lotus. The blood was so filthy and dark that nothing else can possibly taint it any more. Do you not understand? Humanity was once beautiful and full of promise. But one mistake and THIS happens. We were all given gifts….blessings. You are the ones who decided to turn them into curses.”
*A part of a conversation between Shizen and Ignatius, from the same story: [Shizen] “You know it’s my job to protect this nation’s Crimson Lotus. I’ve been waiting my whole life to become a Phoenix worthy enough of protecting this nation. Is that so bad?” [Ignatius] “This nation that you wish to protect so much is the same one that turned me and my ancestors into THIS. That Crimson Lotus is proof. It symbolizes this nation’s sins….and that includes the humanity that I never had. You just can’t call this human. They turned my ancestors into their own weapons for the military, to be controlled and to kill the weak. It’s my turn to return the favor. I’ll be staying with Faust to help him start the war and you know that he needs you, too. It’s your call.”

This current theme was my second successful layout and also a first attempt at trying to get two sidebars. Of course it worked xD I had to do it in a really roundabout tedious way but at least it worked XDD
It’s called sanctus espiritus and you can tell XD I believe I made a post about this song but yeah, this song reminds me of Kuroshitsuji so much, I couldn’t help it.
The header/banner thingy was vectored by me but I forgot where I got the reference pictures………do I even have them anymore xD I don’t know…if I do find them I’ll put up the sources XD either way, this time, I was trying to go for a very desaturated and flat look with only a few things accented in red. Grell’s hair is really ” a few” but I had to make his glasses and all black in order to tone down the red x.x sorry Grell~

So basically, I made this site in order to write about different issues around the world, our society, etc. I rant a lot and I get really heated and honest about things, so I hope nothing is taken personally :P
I also like to share whatever music I have :DD feel free to take any music you want from my mediafire account hehe ;]
** EDIT EDIT **
I have also decided to move over my search/conversion services to here (I used to do that on my livejournal). For more info about these services, check that link right there.
[sidenote: I'm sorry if it seems like there's too many colorful words......it just looks so plain and dull without any bright colors here and there XD]
