Magia Record’s anime is like. Almost feeling like a dream come true in a sense. Because like, I love magical girls, obviously. And specifically I adore Madoka styled magical girls the most. And this obviously has loads of those. And I’m also really into magical girl action. And all 4 episodes of season 2 so far have had some fuck off drop dead gorgeous sakuga action sequences with episode 4′s one being perhaps the best yet. I also really like these sorts of mystery-driven narratives about uncovering the mechanics behind how a system operates. In episode 4 we learn how Magius are feeding emotions to witches and keeping doppels that have lost control in fucking quarantine. And then this is all done by Magius in service of rising against Kyubey, but then our girls are trying to rise against Magius. That’s 3 major factions all playing a key part in this narrative - 2 of those factions being made up of a bunch of very different people with very different feelings and goals. It’s genuinely just riveting. This feels so for me. Really loving it.

First orchids of Spring (even though it's still Winter 😅)!

So interesting how pink the first is compared to the other two which are basically white.

‘21.8.21 東大寺二月堂にて

さらに前回からの続きです。雨止んだ二月堂へ上がり、やれやれと小休止。缶コーヒー飲んで撮影も再開。お堂の燈籠にも灯がともり始めました。

まだ暑いとはいえ８月も���半、夕刻はするすると過ぎて辺りは暗くなってきました。そろそろ帰ろう･･。

A letter from Nat

21.8.21

Hi people,

That was the greeting of one of my favorite patients here. They do a mix of mental health + rehab, and the overlap between them, (and like they look at other physical stuff, so all my hormone shit), and the woman that announced that timeless greeting was very much here for rehab and still off her face on arrival.

“Hi people,“ she said, swaggering onto the terrace, “I have been sent here to drink less.” And unsurprised silence graded this. “Who can help me?“ More silence followed. A few of us exchanged looks. “Does no one have a drink?“ She finally asked.

The moral to the story is never be afraid to go after your goals + to ask for help. The other moral is humor is everywhere if you’re just willing to see it because that was fucking funny.

I want to talk to you guys - you people - about two things today, and how they can interlink. The first is something I mentioned yesterday and want to expand on, and that’s shame around so called “alternate sexualities” and the second is stigma around mental health. “Interlinked, interlinked” as Ryan gosling‘s character says in the bit of Blade Runner 2049 I stay awake for each time.

People - even gay people - often talk about coming out as a tick box process. There’s a closeted before, and a freedom-filled after. I’m not here to rain on that pride parade; if that hasn’t been your full journey, that’s… fine.

I’ve been formally out since 20, maybe even 19. It’s who I am, I am proud + confident of my sexuality. And I’m very fortunate to have circumstances that mean I’m safe - more or less and mostly more - in that identity. And yet I still regularly feel shame. It was just over me, brought on by a girl pulling down at her skirt when she “finds out“ or a raised eyebrow in a group of dudes realizes I’m getting the jokes a touch too well or when someone asks if I have a husband.

Shame is an internal acknowledgment of deviance, and for most gay people it’s a tragically familiar emotion. Now, how can people who felt shame - deviance, embarrassment, discomfort emerge with absolutely no issues? And therein lies our second topic of the day: stigma around mental illness.

Several people messaged to say I was brave to share this stuff + talk about it at all in their #lettertonat. I’m not trying to be. I just want people to know that it’s okay to not be okay at all. Therapy, meds, clinic + whatever else you need in order to deal with your shit, is normal and fine.

You’re not a worse human because you - like the character at the start of my letter - need help. You might be a worse friend or partner. We destigmatize, we don’t sugarcoat or lie. Like yeah, you might be a right fucking nightmare. That’s on you by the way, not your mental illness. Sucking isn’t something your mental illness makes you do. But it can be really fucking hard to not be a nightmare when your demons come a knocking. And then many of us - yes, this included you my fucked in the head hettys - feel shame. Feel embarrassment. Deviance. It feels unfair; “I didn’t ask for this, I didn’t do anything wrong.” You didn’t. So what can you do now? Be a little kinder to your partner. Be a little braver about your gayness, a little prouder if you will. Be a little nicer.

And hettys and neurotypicals remember that you’ll never hate or shame us more than we hate + shame ourselves. So make less YNTCDs, and realize that you probably aren’t “not like the others” but you can…be funny, warm, clever + kind. And if we built a world on those 4 values, we’d have a better world.

Avatar - Iruma

Fire prince - Sabro

Fire Lord - Baal 

Airbending mentor - Sullivan

Flying lemur monkey - also Sullivan, and kinda Ari-san. Look he died and now he’s a weird black spirit monkey thing that’s hanging around the temple until his precious grandson  student comes home.

Crazy old earth king - Delkira :) totally willing to mail-system rollercoaster around his own city and challenge visiting dignitaries or wandering Avatars to ack wass challenges on a whim while he threatens them with rock candy.

Fire uncle - Poro. Look I know it sounds weird but it works surprisingly well. And just like in canon he is betraying his king and kingdom to secretly join a small insurgent group dedicated to the very opposite of that kingdom because he has ✨feelings✨ about Delkira.

Previous Avatar - not a clue

Water tribe girl - Clara

Water tribe boy - Azz? Could be him, or...

Earth bending teacher - ¿Azz? It really depends on if I can find someone else who can be a good Sokka, because Azz as Toph really works and considering the whole thing is Sabro-centric it’s okay if it takes the love trio a little longer to get together than it actually should.

Ayer Pablo me dijo que saliéramos y yo no estaba segura si aceptar por qué ya había salido mucho, pero de verdad tenía muchas ganas de verlo… así que invente una excusa para irme y me creyeron, para no hacer largo el cuento el maje nunca respondió :( y pues yo entiendo que el pasa súper ocupado pero pucha no me pudo decir fíjate que no podré… aunque fue una emergencia ay no…. Creo que me esta comenzando a gustar pero no quiero que eso pase porque ya se como sigue la historia, a parte de que le hice una escena de celos por haberle mandado la soli a mis amigas ósea wtf, no entiendo por qué lo hizo pero bueno. No se qué será con este hombre, la verdad ya estoy a verga de siempre lo mismo, ya no esperare nada de ellos. Quiero darme un tiempo para mi misma y nada de hombres solo yo y mi crecimiento personal, maybe será algo aburrido pero ya estoy cansada la verdad, tiempo de cortar los putos patrones.

‘21.8.21 自宅、下の禰宜道そばの森にて

いまいちな天気の週末。家でニャンズ撮ったりしてたのですが、ふと外見ると雨止んでる･･。それじゃあと、午後からごそごそ出かけました。

森の中で撮り始めた途端、やっぱり雨が降ってきました･･。しばらくは木々が傘代わりになってくれましたが、そのうち滴がぼたぼたと木の影にも。

とりあえず避難。ひぃひぃと移動します💦
