Thank You Very Much for our Individual Event！！！Have a Happy New Yearー！Yumigeta Ako (23.12.09)

Good evening🌝

I'm Yumigeta Ako🛑

Thank you very much for your comments yesterday！

That figure is really so amazing right〜…

I didn't think it would be so incredibly realistic…

It's my first figure、but I totally understand why people collect them。I want to collect them now、a new obsession！

Actually、I also really wanted this Jiro-chan figure which has special effects and where she's wearing her costume and she looks super duper cool

But that one cost about 15000 yen… (T/N $100/£80)

I wanted to buy it straight away to join my new figure collection、but I know I need to manage my money carefully so I didn't buy it。

But I realllllly want it‼️‼️‼️

Maybe I'll buy it as a 1st anniversary present to myself…？

I bought this figure as a present to myself for finishing my first tour‼️

...

So for now I'll keep working hard…

With Jiro-chan's power………🎶

Also today

We had an individual talk eventー！！！！！！

Thank you very much！

Today I was taking a selfie and Oda-san was standing in front of me

And she suddenly angrily yelled 「Ako-chan！」 。

Maybe Oda-san thought I was using my back camera to take a secret photo of Oda-san…？？？

When I said

「No！It's a selfie！！！A selfie！」

She said

「I know！」

How disappointing。

So after our little comedy act I said to Oda-san

「Let's go for our two shot Cheki event」 and we took this photo together♪

Oda-san is so cute♪

Then Ishida-san who was nearby said

「No physical contactー Please separate yourselvesー」。

How disappointing。

💜＋🤍💙💜＋🤍💙💜＋🤍💙💜＋🤍💙

Everyone thank you very much for today！！！

Our last one this year…

It's only been about half a year since I first met you all but we've been able to do so many things together that when I said 「Have a Happy New Year〜」 it was like I was talking to family members which was nice。

I guess we won't be able to talk for a while now！

I wonder when our next individual events will be…

But lots of you said 「I'll watch M Station and FNS Music Festival！」 ot 「I'm going to your Christmas event！」 or that you're going to Countdown Japan Fes so I know you'll keep supporting us、and I'm just really happy that so many people are watching over us！

...

I feel like I felt more relaxed at today's individual event than ever before❗️

I had so much fun！

I hope that you all had fun too！

Thank you very much for coming out in the cold！

Take care of your health…

The last spurt of 2023‼️

Let's all keep working hard until the very end💪🔥

And And And And、

For some reason、loads of people ask me this question at every individual event！

My favourite school meal is

「Kakuae pickled salad」❗️

I can nevvvvver remember its name

So I've always given a weird answer like

「That thing〜 with cucumbers〜 and pickled daikon radish〜 the Shizuoka dish〜」…

Sorry for using 7 seconds of our precious time together just for this confusing answer…😭🙏

It's Kakuae…

I love it so much my friends give me their portions……

Please give it a try……

Well then it's time for today's 【Gettaa Life】✨

Today、

I ate

「Wasabi Flavoured Grilled Seaweed」！！！！

It's super delicious！！！！

They also have a plum flavoured version、so I always eat the plum version but today I had the Wasabi version！

It tasted way better than I was expecting…！

What was particularly delicious is how spicy it was！

Or rather、it wasn't spicy

But it had the spicy aftertaste that fresh Wasabi gives you‼️

It must have such high quality ingredients…

I was instantly hooked。

I'll buy them again。

I bought them at New Days❗️

Everyone please GET them if you see them okay💚

I Getted 「A tasty spicy snack」✨

This is yet another snack story、

But recently I bought quail eggs from Family Mart's snack corner and they were surprisingly delicious！

They were so flavourful！

Seven Eleven's version is kombu soy sauce flavoured which is lighter while Family Mart's is deeper！Like char siu！

Definitely GET this too✨

That's all！This has been 【Gettaa Life】！

Now that my anger has calmed down.....

We got a season 2 renewal!!!

I can't say how happy I am about that. To get the renewal so soon after that wreck of an episode last night means everything! If we had to wait a whole month.....

Trusting the writers to fix what they broke is a whole other thing after that finale. But it can go two ways.

Either they completely decide to screw everyone over and have M&M be endgame (if Michael says 'I never look away' to Maria I will be completely done with it all) or they will test the waters with M&M and when they decide they've had enough, break them up and have Michael go back to Alex. I'm thinking scenario 2.

Now how should this all play out? It sucks that we even got a triangle to begin with and the fact that Michael said 'I never look away' and then ended up looking away to Alex's best friend no less brings my anger back from last night. The fact that Alex was sitting there waiting and wondering, looking at his watch, sad and alone while M&M was happening is not a visual I will forgive the writers for anytime soon. To top that, this ending made Carina happy if it ended there? That still puzzles me. Seriously, lady?? BUT what's done is done. Can't change the past. We can only hope that season 2 is not a terrible shitstorm like last night was.

So how can this all play out? Will Alex be waiting in the sidelines, depressed and upset, watching his best friend and true love across town being happy? I hope not! If they have M&M explore a relationship for half the season or even the whole season, then Alex deserves to move on as well. Do I still want Malex to be endgame? You betcha! But both sides to that relationship deserve happiness, not just Michael. If they can't have it with each other right now because one side has decided his happiness lies elsewhere, then Alex deserves the same treatment.

The last thing I want is for Alex to take that rejection as a sign and shoot his walls back up. He has done amazingly in terms of growth this season and I need his character to keep growing. The boy deserves so much happiness! So does Michael after all he's been through but because he chose Maria and because I dislike the triangle and how those M&M feelings came out of nowhere, he's not my focus right now.

Should a new relationship for Alex be with Kyle? I love that dynamic and I don't want anything to mess with that. Plus, in terms of where they are with each other, there is still so much healing that needs to be done. These two were probably best friends as kids. I love Kyle a lot but you can't fix that friendship overnight. Little by little, they've been making wonderful progress so I want that friendship to flourish next season and an added complication of a relationship won't exactly help. If Malex were completely done, I'd be gutted but I would change my tune on Kylex. But for now, let Alex be with someone new.

All of this is if they keep M&M together for half or most of the season. If it's a one or two episode storyline, then I don't want Alex getting involved with anyone else. But they put the effort to push this triangle so unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely that they will abandon M&M that easily or anytime soon.

Michael and Alex have been through so much in 13 episodes, together and apart. It's why we love their characters and storyline as much as we do because we feel for them and our hearts hurt seeing them tortured. Michael was always searching for a family, for a sense of belonging and when he found his mother, she was taken away in the most cruel and tragic way. But all these people around him see him as family too. They care for him from one degree to another. He's been through a lot on the show but he still has such a huge capacity to love.

For Alex, he started as an abused, scared, gay teenager terrified from his father's actions into choosing a life he never wanted for himself. Did he end up enjoying the Air Force? I think he did because like he said, it felt good winning battles. But at what cost? He put his life and happiness on hold for 10 years and lost his leg in battle. He's the definition of pain and suffering on the show but despite it all, he has always maintained this incredible kindness in his heart that is unmatched.

Alex started the season closed off and unsure and the journey he went through was beautiful to see. He found his inner strength, he faced his demons (Jesse) and he started forgiving those who had hurt him by seeing who they are now (Kyle). He finally reached a place where he wasn't terrified to open his heart to love again. That scene with Michael last episode? That was so pivotal to his storyline. He showed Michael how important he was to him, not just through actions, but through words. Words that have been lacking between them for so much of their history. He was willing to stay and die with him. He wouldn't have been able to have that moment with Michael at the start of the season. Where he was and where he ended up showed the biggest growth from all the characters in my mind. It was easily my favorite personal story arc of the season. Sucks how that growth got spat on last night but it doesn't take away from who Alex is now.

Do I want to see Malex be separated? No, I love them wholeheartedly. I haven't been this invested in a TV couple in a long time probably since Pacey and Joey back in the day. Oh, just a side note - Carina mentioned how she wants Michael to be the Joey Potter of Roswell. Giant No Thank You to that idea. As much as I love DC and PJ, the way Joey ping-ponged between him and Dawson was just ridiculous, never knowing who she wanted until literally the final episode of season 6. That is not what I want to see for Malex. Hope she changes her mind on that idea quick.

But anyway, with Michael choosing his version of a happy ending last night, then Alex certainly deserves the same. I hate that Michael chose Maria. I hate that he knew he and Alex were going to talk but he blew him off and went straight to Maria anyway. I hate that they kissed. I hate that Maria acted on her feelings knowing what Michael means to Alex. I hate that neither thought about Alex in that moment. I hate that he played the guitar in front of her. But if we're going to be forced through more M&M, then let Alex try to move on too.

I want Malex together, of course I do! But if Malex is endgame, and I think that they are, the writers are definitely not making the road easy for them or us. In the meantime, while I fast forward through whatever M&M scenes we're going to be getting, let Alex have some pleasure too. I want them to explore his family more, his mother, his heritage. Just give that boy some love and happiness please!

I love both Vlamis and Tyler equally but it shows how inexperienced Vlamis was with TV fandom. Tyler was a lot more reserved with his interviews - he'd been through it with PLL Haleb vs Spaleb. He expressed how he felt about Malex but that wasn't all he touched on. Vlamis (Oh how I still love him) was all Malex, Malex, Malex for weeks and then the shift in his tone was so obvious. He spoke about M&M a lot more towards the end. The powers that be advised or urged him to do so because everyone knew how the season was ending. But I still love him and of course I love Tyler. The Vlamburn bromance is everything.

I just want to add that Tyler's tweet today really helped heal my heart a bit. He's such a sweetheart for reaching out to the fans and trying to assure us. Knowing we have a season 2, I choose to believe him.

Sorry for the long post. I still hate how it all went down last night, how Alex was left alone and pining while M&M got together. I hate how both Alex and Maria were nothing but props for Michael's storyline. The finale felt rushed and I could probably pick only three things that I liked from the whole episode. Kyle, Liz and Max hugging in the desert and Rosa. I didn't even like that Malex scene in the trailer or Michael telling Isobel he loves Alex because of where it all went.

But now that we have a season 2, we have to look forward. I want to see filming pics and behind-the-scenes when they start planning the season. Hoping that M&M won't be depicted as some grand romance next season because seriously, what the hell? I hope that Alex can continue to grow and his friendship with Kyle grows even stronger. In the end though, I want Malex. I wanted them last night and I want them in the first episode of next season. That's obviously not realistic anymore so all I can hope is that they don't make Alex a sad, lonely, heartbroken 3rd party while they explore M&M being together. Because if they do, this fandom will seriously riot! And no more giving sacred Malex moments to Maria either. Please stop doing that. And flesh Maria's character out more next season too. Away from Michael, preferably, but more than being the bad best friend who hooks up with her besties soulmate. Like, honestly, come on. Girl's got such great potential.

In the meantime, I will bury myself in writing fanfic to tame my anger at that crap ending until season 2 🙂

Vlamburn ❤
