Christianity ✞ (love others, not the world - "1 John 2:17 The world is passing away, along with its desires"). Although this sounds cynical, it's really that life without others, caring for/empathising with the sick (even if you don't really know them), or someone to look up to or protect you (God/Love/Christ) is meaningless. Things naturally expire and pass away (including the planets and stars), so you may as well spend time caring for others or at least volunteering (I'm actually quite introverted and shy in real life, so I like to spend my time on projects like that).
 
I feel this also ties in with the [[wikipedia:postmodernism|postmodernism]] of [[wikipedia:thrill|thrill]] in [[wikipedia:sociology|sociology]] ('things' aren't everything and the modern/postmodern eras always want to sell us new products) - at least where I live in Britain we tend to be seeking thrill (thriller movies, crime shows, etc.) all the time but we've forgotten to balance it and social interaction is gone; but more importantly the spirit of it is gone - nowadays it's like we have to dress to impress for a job rather than genuinely care and look after our family/friends which makes me sad. I feel the recent pandemic has been a blessing in disguise in this sense for spending time with family/friends rather than working yourself too hard.
 
I don't have one faith though (and honestly I feel the Word and the idea of Christ altruism sometimes does not match - because there is a lot of negativity and law in the Bible). I also have a natural liking to [[wikipedia:Buddhism|Buddhism]] and [[wikipedia:Sikhism|Sikhism]] because it feels they're more open to relativism (or accepting all religions for Sikhism), and are ensuring that at the end of the day you're in good health mentally and positively emotionally - but I haven't read much in depth about any of my faiths (that's common), I feel I appreciate the message more than the word.

Hi there, I'm Torchickens (Evie). ^^ My name is not a reference to KFC but rather a cuter name for (a group of friends of) the Pokémon Torchic.

(Actually originally it was just a play on the Pokémon Torchic's name but Torchickens are like my original character now lol :]). I sometimes try to avoid that name though and just go with Evie because I don't like the KFT memes. -_-

(Friendly Kokochan, My Melody and Cogimyun are my favourite Sanrio characters)

I'm the founder of this wiki, which I originally founded on ShoutWiki. This site is hosted thanks to the Grifkuba team.


To-Do

Thoughts

Recent Sanrio

I love the new Sanrio Chocolate characters as well as the recent Sanrio Labo initiative. ^^ I like the idea of Sanrio Characters: Miracle Match (if I can get it on my phone), but I rarely use my phone and I don't know if the model is recent enough in the first place/don't know enough about phones.

Retro/Vintage Sanrio

Now's the time to buy more The Strawberry News issues. I also only recently learned Kokoro have their own written news series. It's called Kokoro Dreams. The idea of animatronics by a Sanrio owned company sounds cute, so I want to learn all about their Hello Kitty machines or just their general life animatronics. Currently, lots of digital versions are available on the Kokoro News Index, so let's document that. The issue is it takes time to translate or get something translated/money if you're doing it through a service, but no way should that be an obstacle (and it hasn't stopped Sanrio fans before).

Is Sanrio losing its relevance?

I've only been a relatively recent Sanrio fan and it gives me mixed thoughts, also I get tired more easily nowadays in terms of learning new things (but really this shouldn't be the point). The irony is sometimes I just end up creating and never consuming media (which is an odd feeling; it's not that I hate it but there can be an imbalance between creating, relaxing, playing - nowadays I can also hypnotically just write really elaborately or fast which can bore some people). I got into the characters and the company late (but still for like 8 years of my life now). I'm also going to be 30 next February; that makes me feel very old - but I shouldn't really mind (at least I'm trying to convince myself that). Sanrio IP historically targeted to older demographics were also common, such as Sanrio Romance Comics and Fancy Friends and really there was no age limit (after all many other older women (and men) like Hello Kitty).

I'm also worried because there is an argument Sanrio Co., Ltd. (and their flagship characters) may no longer be relevant, and with the power of rivals like animation giants like Disney or video game giants like Nintendo will the promotion of new products and IP eventually crash?

Still, I feel preserving Sanrio's legacy is really important. The company has some deep origins, but these are lost to books, The Strawberry News, Lyrica and such. I feel most information about Sanrio isn't actually online or documented at all, but there is some preservation, such as a recent resurgence in documenting historical Sanrio media by people like Starshooter (InitialPattyWagon on the Hello Kitty Fandom community), RetroSanrioCentre, and lots of other people before them, such as the Japanese YouTuber chuchupachu. It's also very easy for Sanrio merchandise to get lost, because countless new products are released all the time.

There is a lot of lore behind the characters, settings, Sanrio's history in general - so let's hope all of it continues to get unearthed. Despite the number of articles, a lot of the articles are just empty shells. I've been thinking about looking into making a bot to automatically grab Sanrio merchandise data from auctions/databases to put here all in one place.

Friends

I was worried because this wiki is still really obscure, and there was a recent spam attack. :[ I'm grateful to have made some wiki friends like Vipz and PinkietheHelloKitty though ^^. Also I made a friend from the Hello Kitty Fandom wiki, who is also seeking out rare media and documenting it, and we share retro Sanrio information sometimes.

Also I've met my other half, as well as lots of new online friends like other girls who like games, programming and males as well. Also I was excited when I met another girl who is obsessed with projects like me; she's always making lists like how I have a tendency to obsessively study/create wiki articles and videos ^^.

Personal sandboxes (anyone is free to edit them, though):

Religion

Christianity, Buddhism and Sikhism. I also deny Gnosticism and the idea that spirituality (as truth/word) can be taught, but accept some people think it can as well. I feel religious word, dogma, doctrine is too sensitive; and is often exploited over the highest commandments (to love God (Love) and to love others as yourself), so when in trouble I just pray for God (and all of us together) to sort things out.

Large circles alienate me

I don't like to be around too many people.
