31 Days of Productivity Reading もう一回！: Day 1

Before: Day one is so exciting, I can’t even decide what to read first. I’m leaning towards putting a bunch that I’m thinking of reading into a spinner wheel and letting fate decide for me, but I’m also thinking about choosing a volume of manga that I know I can easily get through in a short period of time because. Wait stopping mid thought. The new season of Kimi ni Todoke is being released through Netflix so I assumed it was gonna come out all at once, but I think I read somewhere that it’ll be week by week episodes? My initial plans were to binge watch the new season (like the rest of the world) but my day might have just gotten a lot freer… Okay they do come out one a week, so I guess I will indeed be choosing my first read via spinner wheel. Thank you for accompanying me in this journey.

Update: it’s worse than we all could’ve guessed. Not only did Netflix drop five new Kimi ni Todoke episodes at one, each one is over an hour long. I almost don’t even want to watch. I’m so angry. Who let this happen. No more Netflix anime. Please. I can’t take this. Where are my twenty minute episodes. Netflix I hate you so much

After:

I did indeed go the spinner wheel route and the choice ended up being BASARA. As much as I adore this series, I was hoping for more something that I could finish in a single day for the first day of the challenge. For morale. I’ve read a few volumes so far and even though I’m adoring it, BASARA is a pretty old series (which means more text per page) and my volumes are the little almost omnibus series, so they’re around 300 pages each instead of the 150-200 that’s normal for regular manga volume prints. Also the chapter lengths are insane in this series. To complete my goal of reading one hundred pages today, I need to read (get ready for this. Are you ready?) a single chapter. Only one. Oh boy.

Okay, so here’s what happened. Lately I’ve been staying up super late to watch the equestrian events in the Olympics (it’s the only time I ever see them televised) and yesterday I stayed up until around five am watching show jumping. Obviously, I was super tired today, especially after the cat I’m cat sitting woke me up early, which made me even more hesitant for this volume of BASARA. But I started reading and I finished that one chapter and then I kept reading and I kept reading and then I only had one chapter left and obviously I can’t leave on just one chapter left. So I finished the volume. I was totally expecting to be reading this for three days so I’m super stoked that I managed to read it all today. This series just gets better and better with each volume, I’m so obsessed. I’m also kind of worried that I’m not going to want to read anything else until I’ve completely finished it, which can’t happen because I only have the first five volumes (this was volume three). Side note, I kept picking up the book upside down because the cover has a character on it upside down.

Today I read 287 pages of manga and read 1/10 volumes for the month! I’m off to a good start! I’m also probably going to let the spinner wheel choose tomorrow’s read as well.

Oh boy it's almost the annual rewatch of the anime that made me cry for months. Maybe this time it'll end different :D.

[todayisafridaynight]

[fluffy-lovely-clouds]

About to start my Marvel movie journey folks, wish me luck

[bookwyrminspiration]

okay I have to hear your thoughts on the how to train your dragon series (movies, not books)

You are asking a dragon fanatic what they think of the critically acclaimed immensely popular highly beloved dragon movies, what do you think i'm gonna say? Obviously I adore them!

Storylines about learning to love monsters are 100000% my thing, and when those monsters are dragons? No contest, one of my favorite movie series of all time. Will always have a soft spot for stories about coming to love what you once found monstrous, even though nothing about it has changed--the dragons are the same as they always were, they've simply changed their perceptions and reactions to them and opened a whole new world.

And just!! the relationships!! I'm thinking specifically between Hiccup and Toothless, as that kind of unconditional support and love, complementing each other in ways only those involved will ever truly understand get to me. the bond between the boy who downed a dragon and then saved it and the dragon who learned to trust him and defend him like a part of himself, who become something more through the combination of selfs, is something that can actually be so personal.

Ambivalent on the third movie, though I understand what it was going for. On the one hand, love dragons. On the other, they were quite...ridiculously characterized and also all left. so. also maybe it was just me, but they seemed more anthropomorphized in the third? or at least toothless was, and I would've preferred him a little more draconic.--but the first two? absolutely lovely <3

actually currently rewatching the first movie and I AM losing my mind over it

Had a chance to be the asscrack bandit today and I only didnt take it bc it was my 57 year old coworker who I've known since well birth probably agdggdhdhdhdhd it would've been so funny though...

[bingus-bing-bong]

Finished series 3 of wolfblood :( and it reminded me that kid me had the best habit of rejecting cannon

Theres a Big villian speech about his reasons for doing The Bad Things and i straight up as a kid went "oh he must be lying" as it sounded like utter bullocks to me at the time.

And honestly bringing this back. Characters lie whenever i dont like them of think its bad writing <3

Fun fact: When the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Epic Rap Battle Song blew up earlier this year I had no idea who Smosh, Ian or Anthony was. Like I think I recognized Anthony's face vaguely but with Ian, I think it was the first time I ever saw his face.

Weird to to think about.

What can I say about Need 4 Speed? A lot, frankly, but I'll be as brief as I can.

If you've ever wondered how a romance between Sam Speed and Sonic the Hedgehog (his racing rival) might go about in the Sonic X universe, this fic is for you!

It delightfully balances the Sonic X humor with bits of flirting and the occasional moments of emotional vulnerability between both Sam and Sonic. The shenanigans and humor are the type of thing you can imagine happening in universe, and the flirty/shippy bits are enough to make you go 🥺🥰. Likewise, the smut itself balances the sexy, the awkward, and the funny (which includes puns!) in such a way that doesn't "ruin the moment" as the author plays this balancing. This is all to say, that it's a wonderful example of comedic smut (one of my favorires) while also being enjoyable and/or sexy. It's a fic that can make you blush over simple proximity or hand holding right after showing Eggman's Sonic X typical shenanigans. It's a fic that can interrupt a sexually charged scene with "attempted vehicular manslaughter" (as the tags put it) and then have them go right back to the kissing unfazed.

It's a fun fic, and a cute one at that. So every bit of writing leading up to the eventual smut was just...enjoyable. I laughed a lot, became embarrassed on behalf of the characters, went 😳😳😳, and laughed some more

If you're considering this pairing at all, I'd give this fic a shot. And if you like Sonic X style comedy and shenangigans, puns, some good ol racing rivalry, humorous smut, and two idiots being a little down bad for each other (but trying to play it cool), this may be the fic for you.
