You should really watch where you're stepping! You've fallen into the home of three rats:
Sodo , ~4PR1L , mika_starr



Just a few notes:
This diary is ONLY for me, April and Sodo. There are lots of other forums to post in and if you really have a burning question then message the ones of us with open PM/PP's.
If you don't like what we post here then that's on you. It's more for us than anyone else!

greetings~ i'm most known as sodo , but i mainly go by mikhail or yoshiki other names include deimos and achilles, but those ones, i rarely use. you can call me whatever you like, though<3
he / thou / hymn / shx , arranged in order of preference.
there's not much to remark upon, as i've shared far too much of my personal info on this site already (/hj), but i enjoy roleplaying, drawing, reading, and writing :) i'm also a black belt in the ancient , honored traditional martial art of procrastination, and i recently got my phd in laziness. (/j)
god forbid you discover how old i am. but that's about all you'll need to know about me while you read this diary.
i might ask others to refrain from posting here, though. any concerns related to me can be sent to me privately. both pms and pp are open.
if i were to post anything specific , it'd be:
oc dumps | art | general yapping | non ph related shenanigans

minor, chronic procrastinator, constant yapper
Hihi! I'm Mikaela, but most people call me Mika! I also go by Astrid on a few places. I have a few nicknames but i'm pretty open to people making me more
[She/They] although i'm not too bothered about it
I love to yap about absolutely anything, give me a topic and i'll send you 15 messages a second. I also like to be really ambitious and give myself a hundred things to do and then give up on 99 of them. I like to roleplay, fail at digital art and creating lots of oc's! I also love to bbcode rn but that'll change by next week lol.
My PP/PM are open so if you have a burning question reach out to me there (not here 🔫)
(ever the copy cat) if i were to post anything specific , it'd be:
yapping about everything | complaining about everything | oc dumps | yapping about my oc's | more yapping | life!
《 "I'm feelin' devious. You're lookin' glamorous. Let's get mischievous and polyamorous" 》
《 Minor | D1 Tryhard | Chibi Connoisseur 》

✧ Aries | ENTJ-A | Very accurate star signs usually

✧ Artist | "Art isn't talent, it's hard work" | "Not everything needs to be deep"
✧ Old Gen Rp'er | I am everywhere.
And finally for the dialog! Welcome to my intro page! As you have read above, everyone likes to call me April. That is the only name I have gone by on every
site I have been on. ^^
Resident yapper and lurker, I consider myself a pretty easy person to talk to! My Palpad and PM are open to any questions and commissions at all times ~ Additionally, I consider myself a blunt and honest individual, so my apologies if I accidentally pushed the wrong buttons!
« Q&A »
[If you have any questions, please palpad me, and if they are interesting, I might even showcase em here]
[Mika] In all honesty, I started with making fandom OC Instagram accounts for my favourite fandoms, which got me added into roleplay group chats and it all started from there. I did a little roleplay in discord but i fully got back into it a few weeks ago on ph! I'm definitely not amazing but just being in roleplays with experienced people makes me more dedicated to being better and finally being able to call myself semi-lit lol. Hibiscus in bloom was the first roleplay I've been really dedicated to, and I'm really excited for some new ones im in to start :D
[Sodo] When I was way younger, I used to be on pokeheroes with my friends on her account. She showed me all the roleplays she was in, and sometimes we’d come up with responses together. When I moved away, I didn’t get to roleplay much, so I stuck to writing. I joined Pokeheroes a couple years later and decided “Oh, hey, they’ve still got the roleplay forum? Might as well.”
[April] I was bored /hj. The first time I roleplayed was when Wattpad still had their inbox function.. back then I didn't even know it was called roleplaying lol But I have to admit, I only started consistently roleplaying when I entered the PH Roleplay community a couple years ago! Just like everyone else, I kinda sucked back then but thanks to uh some specific people whom I won't name-drop, I quickly got whipped into shape ;;
[Sodo] I’m not against it. I’d eat it if there was nothing left, but I wouldn’t eat it as a favorite. Also, ham on pizza is crazy.
[Mika] I don't care if its controversial or something but i love hawaiian pizza lol
[April] I…. Don't mind it? But I don't particularly enjoy lol More Ham > Pineapple
[Sodo] I invoke the fifth.
[Sodo] An ungodly amount of studying art. I started out watching art videos on youtube (channels like and drawingwiffwaffles) and tried to replicate them. I only started drawing “seriously” in 5th grade, were I genuinely focused on improvement? Then by 6th grade, I started watching animes and reading manga, and that really got me inspired. Animes like Pokemon, Demon Slayer, and Beyblade all got me inspired into making more art. By 7th grade, I started copying artists online and doing master studies (mainly of Renoir, pyanyasha, and other notable artists both modern and renaissance era) and I started doing digital art at this time :) I also practiced a lot, too, so that’s probably how I learned the most :3
[Mika] From references (and April's chibi tutorial!) I'm by no means good but i have gotten better with practice :D
Saying that, tutorials are also helpful and have definitely helped me define my art style. I spend a lot of time doodling because I'm too much of a perfectionist for big projects but one day I'm gonna lock in and retry anatomy. I'm mainly sticking to traditional art and leaning away from humanoid characters until I have the ambition to get good lol. COUGH COMMISSION ME COUGH
[April] From Tutorials <- I'm lying. Low-key I don't have the attention span for tutorials 😭 But the only thing I will confidently say is PRACTICE. Doodle, draw with a pen, just draw something every day; whether that may be random characters, headshots, animals, shape, eyes or flowers, just draw something. Consistently doodle and step by step you'll get good lol (oh and ik y'all hate it, but practice on things you hate e.g anatomy, that's how you get GOOD good) OH AND DON'T EXPECT PERFECTION !! <- that's big, rlly big.
[Sodo] Favorite song is probably Kiss the Go-Goat by Ghost and Value by Ado. For novel, I’m currently obsessed with 1984 by George Orwell. The plot and writing is so nice right now. For character…I’d say
[Mika] Thats a tough question 😭 I wouldn't say I've got complete favourites for anything but as of right now I'd say my favourite song is "Two" - bbno$. My favourite novel right now would probably be Disabled Tyrants Beloved Pet Fish because im a massive sap and they give me the fluff i need in between talking to my rat spouses about gut wrenching angst 💔. Or They Both Die At The End because i also love to make myself cry with doomed romance </3
My favourite oc is obviously Aster, he has way too many storylines to not be, i love using him! My favourite fandom characters are either Shen Yuan/Qingqiu from Scum Villains Self Saving System, Chuuya Nakahara from Bungou Stray Dogs, Shi Qingxuan from Heaven Officials Blessing(TGCF) THE LIST GOES ON!!
[April] That's a whole lotta questions man…
Song: currently is “Merry Christmas Please Don't Call - Bleachers” sucker punches me to the balls every time 😞
Novel: Lord of the Mysteries by Cuttlefish that Loves Diving, it's a top chart Chinese novel! It's super fun and if you enjoy cthulhu, supernatural, Victorian setting plus great world building and characters give it a read! It also has a donghua (chinese anime) that's out rn so give that a watch too it's really good!! (Only downside is that the novel is 1340 chaps long lol)
Character: are we talking OC or character character? 💀 OC would be Ayran (my son my life the most beautiful character to ever exist, all old gens know him) and character uh SUNDAY FROM HONKAK STAR RAIL MY GOAT, MY HUSBAND 🗣️🗣️
[Sodo] This is such a profound, detailed question. I genuinely can’t begin to answer it as it’s so deep. This inspired me to rethink my life.
[Mika :3] I feel this deep in my bones, I feel a sense of pride and ambition, literally invoking so many emotions I think I need a minute…
[April] woah such tear jerking inspirational words… It brought tears to my eyes…! Oh nvm it was just dust :D
[Sodo] Absol, nickit, and vulpix. I love four-legged pokemon.
[Mika] my favourite pokemon has to be lurantis, fomantis, tsareena and decidueye…i rlly like grass types rn 🙂 [April - me with ice types and water types and dark types and—] [mika - i lik green]
[April] ZORUA, ZOROARK, WOOPER. ZORUA, ZOROARK, WOOPER. ZORUA, ZOROARK, WOOPER. ZORUA, ZOROARK, WOOPER. I wonder what my favorite Pokemon is..! [mika - idk, squirtle?] [April - .. totally]
[Sodo] I play mainly Hogwarts Legacy, Minecraft, Roblox, Resident Evil (4,5, and 6). I used to play Cookie Run Kingdom, but it took up too much space so I had to uninstall it.
[Mika] I usually like to get thrashed in pokemon unite with April and my brother. EVEN THO THEY RANKED UP W/O ME. I also play roblox sometimes with Sodo! I’m doing a soul link with my brother in Sword and Shield and I’m playing Animal crossing! (i just got a switch lol)
[April] April exits the tab and looks at her phone storage and sighs. #GamblingAddiction = Honkai Star Rail, Project Sekai, Cookie Run Kingdom, Honor of Kings, Pokemon Unite, Zenless Zone Zero, Love and Deepspace, Black Beacon, Morimen, Love Makeover, Infinity Nikki, Sky Children of Light, Path to nowhere, Arknight, guardian tails, uhh and I think those are for now! And no obviously they are not all in my phone rn 💀[mika - give ur phone a break 😭] [April - it's okay… I had to sacrifice so many apps for other games…] [mika - more than like 4 is crazy ] [ April - I've also spent 30+ dollars on games before too 💔 just for that Sunday PFP….]
[April] I already answers the first part of the question before lol but a big part is the community and the characters I made!! I cherish them like my adopted children's even if they are canonically older than me /j but uh the first rp I join? We don't talk about that :].
[mika] And here I thought we were friends drakonia</3 You were just using me for my cool rat spouse :C
[Sodo] Friends? I wouldn’t word it that way… Well, I joined a roleplay and got sucked into those two’s shenanigans. It seems I had no choice</3 [ mika - you love us tho ]
[Mika] I just woke up and I was in a rat throuple. Never looked back tho <3
[April] I forced myself into their duo 🫶 Also because social anxiety fears me >:3 [Mike - give me ur powers] [Aprol - LMAOO]
[Sodo] I’m absolutely a cat person. Cats are fluffy and relaxed. They clean themselves, too. I’ve got both a cat and dog, so.. sorry to my dog :)
[Mika] I’m not too much of an animal person bc i’m lowkey afraid of being bitten. But i do have a dog that I adore so i’d say dog person.
[April] Erm I never had any pets, but I love both!! If I were to have one somewhere in the future, id love to have a lazy dog and an energetic cat !! One of the two !!
[Sodo] Honestly… I don’t have anything on a bucket list. But my Pokeheroes goals are just to get 100 to 500 shiny absols :)
[Mika] On game or Irl? On game is prolly to finish my Alola dex and get shinies of all my favourite pokemon.
[April] uhhh I don't play the game ;; BUT I DO WANNA EARN A SOLID REPUTATION AS A PH ARTIST !! LIKE IF YOU WERE ASKED “who would you recommend me to buy art from? I WANT TO HEAR MY NAME WITHIN THE LIST RAHHHHH I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT WITH MY SKILLS I CAN'T MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELFFRFFRRFYDOAHDKSGDOSU I'm not narcissistic guys trust ;)
[Sodo] Analysis youtubers or art youtubers. Schnee, samdoesarts, and there are other youtubers too… though I forgot their names.
[Mika] I watch a lot of British youtubers like Cam Kirkham and ItalianBach. I’m not too interested in gaming videos but KEEGANJ has some funny videos I watch with my brother. I watch Flamingo too and The Click! I even have an Emotional Support Demon :D [April - should I question the last part? No I shouldn't question the last part] [mika - never question the emotional support demon ]
[April] I don't watch YouTube usually anymore 💔 but what I do still sometimes watch are foodtubers (CHECK OUT b.ored HE'S SO GOATED AS A FOODTUBER WHO INCORPORATES RPG INTO HIS VIDEOS)
[Sodo] heyyyy… if you’ve got nuggets, shiny absols, or pd… y’know, there’s a certain artist who.. would be glad to take your commissions
[Mika] But it could change (commission me so i can make cool art PLS IM POOR </3)
[April] I change my opinion every few weeks so let me show y'all my recent favs teehee
