Fuck. Like...... Fuck.

Mere days after I first joined the community on the first day of noms for VGMC12 after NFUN showed me about it (and proceeded to not even be the first person to nominate a mozell song which prompted me to actually squeal irl) I looked through past brackets and was absolutely floored that one of my favorite songs ever, let alone favorite IIDX songs, had won a contest. Over Megalovania no less!! But because of the retire system I would never get to show it my support. I've come to learn that the legitimacy of ELFERIA's victory is questioned because of vote rejection shenanigans, and that makes me kind of sad!! Unfortunately... it's up against something that I'd call a 10/10. EXSPHERE just oozes everything I want to hear from a song at once and it does it with style and edge and god damn the reason its a 10 is because it can make me feel EXACTLY what it wants me to feel and no matter what kind of mood I'm in, I will do as it tells me and I will love every single moment of it. ELFERIA is not something that necessarily does that, and so I can't quite call it a 10/10.... and yet, I think it still wins out here ever so slightly. Maybe it's because I have more of an affinity towards rhythm stuff the past month or so as I've been getting back into actually playing IIDX (sidenote I think I've mentioned this before but easy clear on ELFERIA's another chart may be my best clear in the game atm, i think its harder than SOLID STATE SQUAD [L] or HADES hard clears but that could get tangential quickly lmfao)

The reality is I like EXSPHERE more as a song that exists on paper. But in a head to head match, my mind can't get itself off of ELFERIA. Am I having an existential crisis right now about the shortcomings and failings of these song ratings and rankings that I love so much? No I'm not you're having a breakdown I CAN'T HEAR YOU ATELIER NEKOMATA CLOSING IN I CANT BREATHE this match just isn't fair man. i wish this was elferia vs flower so i could feel not bad about it

Despair of ELFERIA [2nd//5th] vs Class::EXSPHERE_NOSURGE; [1st//2nd]
[2nd//56th]

a very, very non-0 chance i wake up tomorrow, look at my vote and wonder what the fuck i'm on
