I DONT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM IN MY TEA CABINET FOR ALL THE TEA I BOUGHT IN JAPAN

Back in the States nooooooooooooooo

taking care of whem's discarded children 🥲

Had a very nice birthday hanging out in Tokyo with friends. 😃 Having a not-quite-as-nice morning after lol 😅

可愛いみきちゃんを見つけた

Death, taxes, and having my alcohol tolerance bar instantly maxed out by two drinks of 日本酒.

🇯🇵?

Has anyone else had the weird experience where you're listening to a song quietly and aren't quite hearing it properly, so it sounds like it's in a different key than it really is? I thought someone hacked my airpods and was sending me a minor key grunge song instead of major key electro pop.

Remembering Golden Sun and realizing Jenna very well might be the progenitor of my fondness for childhood friends from before I even knew what the childhood friend archetype was.

Finished up the Wuthering Waves 2.7 main story quest (which is also the end of the main story for the 2. series) last night and this morning. Overall impressions are really favorable! 2.3 - 2.5 (Carty, Lupa, Phrolova) was by the best sequence of stories imo, but 2.7 ties a satisfying bow.

Of the many concluding reflections of Yofukashi no Uta S2 to end on, this one is the cutest and my favorite.

Really embodying the otter who can't stop eating watermelon it doesn't like watching this arc of Call of the Night S2. I don't want the vampires to fight the slayer 🥹

Watched the first five episodes of Yofukashi no Uta last night as much as I enjoy the characters and story, often the thing that's the biggest takeaway from me is how good the arms, legs, and hands are (usually as a subset of body language).

At least watching Chitose made me think, "If this is the standard for getting a light novel published, surely I can do it eventually."

Oh dear. I was excited by Chitose in the Ramune Bottle opening with a thesis on blue, but I think I might full-on hate the way it's written.

Looking forward to be the only person on this website stanning SI-VIS this anime season since it's a "close enough, welcome back Macross" kind of situation.

It's been like ten years since I watched White Album 2 and I can finally listen to White Album (the song) without feeling vaguely queasy. ٩( 'ω' )و

imma bout to cut your string lil bitch

It's kind of crazy that what will probably turn out to be my most enduring memory of Genshin Impact is whem telling my that Keqing was my Genshin childhood friend because she was my first 5* character. One of those clear before/after events where your perception of the world changes.

doing a bad job of giving up on running like i said i was going to

They're saying it could be game of the year.

I keep looking at my Bluesky profile lately and thinking about how infrequently I've been posting for the last while. I guess it's a consequence of having most of my free time eaten up by book writing, which just isn't all that conducive to doing things that prompt posts.

I'm so mad that I'm going to get baited into watching JJK season 3 after hating the second part of season 2 simply because they're bringing back the only character both 1) I like, and 2) actually is allowed to do things in the story.

My executive functioning is going crazy today (weekend buff???).

The siren song of wanting to have the hubris to say, "Yeah, if I became a famous streamer it wouldn't effect me; I'd just be the same person I am now. I'm build different."

It truly is suffering to have your go-to streamer on extended break when your other consistent watches are on-and-off again and into playing long RPG series that are impossible to keep up with.

It is unbelievable how much production juice Tenshi ni Narumon has: character designs, layouts, music (god-tier OP, insanely varied and beautiful OST), voice acting, goofy faces, and even animation at times. Then you have the content, which is like, amusing but also... you know...

Would love to learn how to write faster so I could do more writing projects... got ideas burning holes in my pockets like I'm a 10-year who just got my allowance 😩

anytime you get a sequel to a goty it's a good time

Honestly? The main reason *I* play video games is to support women, unlike what some other fools on this website are saying in the discourse.

Is the Wuthering Waves 2.6 main quest the greatest work of feminist literature in a gacha game, the most argued scholastic question of the bluesky era, with over 12,239 users banned for being wrong--

oooo we've progressed from the "damn this story is giving me some trouble" to the "everything i write is shit why even bother trying to make this story" phase of writerly agony very exciting

Rewatching the first couple episodes of Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars and remembering how I am the only one with good taste. youtu.be/g3JLBv0R6e4?...

Disastrous episode of Silent Witch this week. Don't know if it was the source material or the adaptation, but talk about a twist without even a pebble of build up.

😌

i'm the mutual who is actually gray but all my friends incorrectly categorize me as teal

Look at the numbers on this post. They're saying no one makes connections between currently anime and Shakugan no Shana like me.

I'd like to shout out Secret of the Silent Witch for bringing back the emotionless maid archetype, a real classic dating back to Shakugan no Shana's Wilhelmina Carmel, the Specialist of Everything.

SUKI YOOOOOO ANATA GAAAAA KOROSHITAIII HODOOOOOOOOO

MyGo!!!!!'s music is generally more my speed than Ave Mujica's metal vibes, but I have to admit Mujica really hit on something with Imprisoned XII (it's a rock power ballad instead of metal) and Alter Ego (very pop metal).

Re-uninstalled Apex from my PC and immediately wrote 1500 words tonight. Freedom is out there.

Playing Apex Legends any time within approximately 5 hours of bedtime: the number one reason I have ended up with a daylong headache the next day.

Very sad that Labyrinth of Galleria is one of the few games that apparently has compatibility issues on the Switch 2. Losing progress in a dungeon crawler feels HORRIBLE since the game is inherently built with long time periods between save points as a key part of the gameplay.

Time to show whem the greatest comedy anime of all time.

Truly warms my heart how, even after all these years, the first episode of Nisekoi is formal archetypal perfection. 🤌

Been listening to the Kekkai Sensen OST this week and rediscovering just how incredibly good the vocal tracks on Disc 2 are.

Between the physical book I'm reading, the audiobook I'm listening to, and the book I'm writing, I feel so book brained right now. Worlds are rotating in my head.

Started this 800-page beast today and I am realizing, after reading a good chunk of romantasy and YA in recent times, how starved I was for straight-up fantasy. Shame it has to be advertised as "feminist GOT," though (🤢); to me it's much more akin to the works of McCaffrey, Hambly, Pierce.
