#IM WAITING TO ANSWER IT UNTIL I CAN GET SMTH FULLY TYPED OUT HEHE

[definitelynotshouting]

It's 2am in the airport and im bored how's ur day been? :D

-☀️

Omg hello sun anon!!! I hope the airport is tolerable for you, gods thats early 😭😭😭😭 dont look at my hypocritical sleep schedule when i say this tho lol

Its about 9am for me rn and im about to wake up ye residents evil™ for presents, also last night i managed to write a 1.5k scarian fluff fic so if all goes well i'll be posting that tomorrow for yall >:]

A crumb of dialogue for your boredom woes, my friend:

Grian sighs; it's Scar's point, now, and they both know it. "Can we at least move closer to the fire?" he complains. "Well, I don't know, we'll have to ask Queen Jellie over there for her opinion." Scar politely directs his next question to her, projecting his voice so it curls around the chair like smoke. "Miss Jellie, can we come sit by the fire?" Jellie's tail flicks, an idle, irritated motion. After a moment, she yawns again, then tucks her head under her paws. "I think that's rather conclusive, don't you?" Scar asks Grian. "I think you're being ridiculous," Grian replies dryly, "and I'm shocked you aren't taking this opportunity to pet your cat." The gasp Scar sucks in is one of sheer, mock horror. "I do believe you're right, Grian! I can't believe that slipped my mind. I can't let my sweet baby Jellie go unpet— let's move, come on, up you go."

Other than that tho i have nothing going on, just a chill day :] my household is very relaxed abt holidays generally; our tradition is that we have a charcuterie board every xmas, so we've got a good spread of cheeses for that this year, including a bellavitano espresso that im VERY fond of. No red dragon tho, which is my favorite 😔😔😔😔 (can u tell i love cheese skdbskdnns) but we preserve<3 /silly

But yeah!! Relaxed day, chill vibes, and i hope i can send some of that your way to the airport!!! May your flight go smoothly and your travels remain easy, i hope u have a good day today and that the boredom abates!!!

If you’re willing pls some details on your bg3 character? They’re so gorgina. I love her. I wanna give her a lil daisy or smth and put it behind her ear. If possible. If not we’ll work something out. Your taste in screenshots is so good and I love seeing other ppls games. Especially when we have more than one in common.

What’s her class? Her name? Any subclasses 🤔

Any reason for The Gale romance, or is it one of those unexplained there is no reason types? Either way they’re cute.

Where does her expertise lie, any backstory you’ve thought of and decided on and willing to share?

What’s her favourite pass time, what’s her usual response to difficult situations be it emotionally or in a fight? Does she believe in a high power?

Much luv, if you decide to answer or not I appreciate your posts no matter the game popping up on my time line <3 just an interested individual passing thru swat me like a fly if necessary and carry on 🤞🏼 I’m glad it seems like ur having a good time, hope ur doing well !

First of all thank you SOO much for asking ❤️❤️❤️ I didn’t think anyone would be that interested <<333 this ask made my day

n ive been thinking over it a lot since getting into act 3, ((im not a dnd expert  sooo consider the follow some silly musings I have on her backstory/abilities 🙈)) 

Tldr is-

Dark Eyes is a Mephistopheles tiefling, she used to be a cleric but I changed her class later to an Archfey Warlock, she is an outlander and worships Kelemvor!!

She was born at sea! her parents were human & lived as merchants. They loved her despite her unexpected infernal heritage, they called her 'dark eyes' for her unusual appearance. She had a relatively happy childhood, she always felt at home in far off places. While sailing to the Sword Coast thier ship was capsized by a storm, her parents and the crew died but she survived, washed ashore near a temple dedicated to Kelemvor. From this point on, her life was marked by a quiet melancholy and deep religious fervor. Her near death experience exposed the capricious nature of fate.

she fully embraced the path of a Cleric of Kelemvor and traveled extensively over all of Faerun giving the last rites to the dying and aiding the departed, until the day she met a dying dryad in a forest, taking pity on her she guided its spirit to the realm beyond gaining the favor of the Faerie Queen Titania, ultimately sealing her fate as an Archfey Warlock.

Among the Fey she was reborn as 'Nemeth' a name given to her by her first lover a Leanan sidhe being. Under the guidance of these fey beings, she embraced life with reckless abandoned, danced among dryads in deep elder forests, and sung the songs of the rusalkas. She inspired poets and was the bane of mortal men, she learned to act in accordance to her own whims rather than being a martyr  - to me she is always very fickle and easy to displease, I've had her hex people for saying rude things to her (looking at u lord whitburn) on the surface she is seems distant but she still has a soft heart, where others fight she likes to wait things out, let others expose themselves, charm and decieve (in a way her and Raphael would get a long very well if they weren't enemies in game hehe)

On the gale romance- well, that was a complete accident what can I say his dorkish nature is bewitching!!

they definitely play off each other well!! If it weren't for Gale she really wouldn't be trying so hard to save others. Being a warlock, she knows better than most that, to give into raw power is to become infinetly more vulnerable to the greater beings that wield it- She wants Gale to understand this!! Despite being a warlock, she still gives patronage to Kelemvor, it’s a big reason why she does not like Mystra's influence over Gale - to her Kelemvor is impartial, fair - he doesn't keep his devotees on a leash and does not interfere in mortal affairs, he is the washing away of these things, the cleansing of all desire. She wants Gale to see that his life is his own- only if he lets go! Anyways in my head she and Gale adopted the tiefling Arabella and sent her away to wizard school or whatever the equilvalent is

[hobidreams]

Use this ask to post, to avoid spoilers? Thanks hehe

I wanna know your intial reactionsss and thouughtsss-- What do you think about the finale?? I want to know what you got to say 'cause we HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS-- SPILL 'EM DEETS, SIS 👀👀😆 LET'S TALK ABOUT IT

-🧇

HI BABY im so sorry for the delay in answering this!!!! i just havent had the time to sit down and really type and YOU DESERVE A PROPER ANSWER 💕💕💕 the procedure was super small hahaha that word makes it sound more serious than it was but im mostly(?) okay??? maybe???? i thought the side effects had faded but then they just kind of came back recently so idk. it’s why i haven’t been online as much nor been at my computer AT ALL. which is why i couldnt type up my response to this and have been trying to add a bit every day :(((( thank you so so so much for your patience; ur the best 💞

the rest of your asks are under the cut so to all non waffle anon people, PLEASE AVOID IF U DONT WANT LIB JP SPOILERS 💖

Raiiin!! 💟

Omggg that's so cute 🥺🥺 it's actually very practical?? I LOVE that YOU CAN PICK OUT THE RING YOU WANT💖💖-- i think that should be done more often! 😂

YES exactly omg, i think doing this would avoid all the issues of having to pretend like you like the style or smth when its really not ur tastes. some ppl think it spoils the surprise but as someone who is very picky, i dont agree 🤣 we picked out the ring we wanted! just waiting on the people to give us a quote and then we’ll hopefully start getting it made!!! 💖

Awwwwh, gosh that's so sweet 🥺 now you get to look forward to that time of your life!! Ooh such a happy feeling 🥺 I could just imagine what you're younger self would look like, so cute! and with the right person, person you love awwwh!! 🥺💖 ugh you guys make me want to fall in love!!! 😂💕

Looking forward to hearing the story!!👀💕

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO BE SUPRISED by whatever he plans!! I'm sure it'll be wonderful!! 💟💟💟

YOU SHOULD FALL IN LOVE AND THEN COME TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT 💕 i will be waiting heheehe. 

Alright let's talk about things!

With the Terrace House--EXACTLY!! 💯

I think that's all we need, really!!

Seriously, if Love is Blind or any reality show really-- have this type of format, with various hosts watching & reacting at the real time with us (viewers)--I'd watch it. Haha. They have to be real and funny haha

It really helps that the hosts are genuine as they are and with their reactions too! They're funny too haha. Which i think makes the show more effective.

Ugh yes! Could you imagine seeing a host reaction with a LIB scene? It'll be soo funny because it's so relatable! 😆

Oh tell me about it!! Everything's better when you watch it with a friend!! I love love that!! 🥺💕 esp when you get to be as blunt and say whatever you want to cause you're with a friend and you're so comfortable with them. You can just laugh and cry and shout at the tv/show together--it's always a good time!! 👌💟 haha. Aww me too! You can chat with anything to me/us about things!! 😂💟💟

i think esp with a show that has such a diff culture but is translated for an english-speaking audience, i think it would've been awesome to have a cultural guide of sorts? or at least some translator's notes LOL i love fan translations of anime for that exact reason. i really want to know more about what kind of conventions are happening in JP that might change the reactions of the contestants.

I did send 1 ask before! Sorry about that huhu. I'm gonna send the follow-ups-- I wasn't able to bc life got in the way haha ahuhu but I will send it a few minutes after this!! And it's okay, you have nothing to apologize! I actually excited that i actually type all things on my note app so it'll be ready to send haha. So WE WILL DEF TALK ABOUT IT yes gurl we will. 👀😂 Haha.

Sorry for the hold-up and thank you for waiting for me 🥺 will send the asks in a few!

Also, congrats again?? We'll look forward hearing the proposal story, soo excited for you omgggg!!! 💟💟🎉

-🧇

NO WORRIES i was just worried they got eaten up by tumblr!!! but i got them safely 💞

Alright, let's talk about the show 👀👀😆 buckle up bc this is gonna be looooonger 😅😂 hope you don't mind.

Sorry, It took me time to send this ask-- life kind of got in the way 😥😅 but let's talk now! I CAN'T WAIT TO READ YOUR THOUGHTS, REACTIONS (no matter how long) cause I WANNA KNOW THEEEEMM omggg!! SPILL 'EM, SIS LET IT ALL OUT hahaha 👀👀😆💕

I recapped the ep 10 & 11 for refresher on what happened haha. I almost forgot some details haha:

Ep 10:

• Ryotaro meeting Motomi's father/family

It went well?? I was suprised! I kind of understand where her dad's coming from. Besides being strict/traditional person (I also can relate bc you know, asian parents haha)-- i figured maybe he's strict bc he's protective of Motomi since she got married before and all? Anyway, it's a good thing we get to know them and their side.

I feel so happy & relieved for Ryotaro (and Motomi) in this aww. Good job, well done good boi Ryotaro! I'm so happy for them huhu 🥺💕

Her dad approving of Ryotaro!! And also the dad is so cute when he was making small talks, like with men & their hair? Hahaha that was such a sweet moment.

Also I really liked what Motomi's mom said about complementing each other and making the other cry--that its okay to cry bc various things will happen and that it's important to support each other. I thought that's such a simple, realistic advice for love. Idk that's just a sweet thing to say, for me. Wbu?

I DIED WITH THESE PARENTS. theyre SOOOO supportive (or at least the mom was right off the bat) and i was a little afraid bc the sister looked kind of upset or unhappy but then i was glad to see she warmed up by the end of the lunch. the dad was less traditional than i thought, but also omg SO direct. i was scared hahaha. but i understand why he would be afraid of the ‘punk’ vibe that Ryotaro had before, with the cultural stigma and all, but im glad he changed his mind once he saw how happy Ryotaro made Motomi 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 surprisingly progressive for how traditional they were hyping him up to be haha maybe for the drama. 

• Wataru & Midori work out scene

Gurl, i was taken aback when Midori mentioned he lost like 6 /7 kilos. Idk why that put me off hahaha. Because of the past ep when there'san impression that Wataru sort of struggled a bit at that workout. I've always thought that I hope Wataru enthustiactically agreed/was willing to join her in working out, haha. But also, I'm not sure cause maybe it's the translations so I may not fully got what's being said cause I don't know Japanese. Am i the only one? Pls tell me, i'm genuinely asking bc I might just took some things differently haha. There's def nothing wrong with encouraging a partner to workout together for the intention of being better health-wise or overall as a person, totally get it and its normal. And I'm also not saying Midori is a bad person, not at all. I just hope Wataru likes it and he's not pressured/forced into doing it. Which is not right? Also seems like Midori is respecting him with boundaries so that's good. It looks like they're enjoying it anyway so haha, also the way they talk to each other is so natural haha. 😆

What do you think about this? Or am i just overthinking things? Haha 😂👀

OMG i was SO confused. like wasn’t it just a few weeks? 6/7 KILOS ???? even if that was pounds id be like bruh thats a lot but KILOS? nah there’s no what that was done in a healthy way 😅😅😅 so i dont really agree with that extreme dieting. but she also said in one of her q&a videos on youtube that everyone lost weight during the show bc of the stresses of being on camera all the time and making decisions etc. so it could be that? idk if that 6/7 kilos is overall since the start of the show or just in those few weeks. if its the latter then .. oof. 

i totally see where you’re coming from!!! i also kind of have the mindset that working out or being active isn’t just something we should do because we enjoy it. i consider it like brushing my teeth, you know? i don’t loooove doing it but i do it bc it’s good for my health. and i dont think Midori is pressuring him into something thats super intense? and Wataru seems to agree that he could be more active in his life so i hope that they’re just pushing each other to be their best selves. im also pushing my bf to do yoga and walks with me to improve his health bc hes always complaining about being sore but sits on his ass for most hours of the day lmaoooo

• Shuntaro & Ayano went to the arcade

I felt like nothing really got resolved haha. I feel like there are things unsaid but maybe the show didn't included it. I also thought at that point, i can see they're def not ready to get married to each other haha. I genuinely think they don't know each other a lot yet enough to spend their life together. What do you think?

Do you think Shuntaro kept her art?👀 haha jk i think he did because seems like a nice & mature person haha but idk haha.

THESE TWO ARE A MESS LMAO. seriously, i would be fed up with Ayano’s communication style WEEKS ago lmao.... more on my thoughts w this couple in the next section tho

• Kaoru & Misaki talking (things like about what he said about her trauma/dad)

I was just so baffled how so casual & unaware by almost anything about what he' saying or in their relationship 😂 oh we just know that Kaoru was planning on how to say to him there will be no wedding and how to break-up haha. I kept thinking like, are they really still considering (esp Misaki) getting married?? I'm too harsh im sorry but like? Is it just me? Haha 😅

LITERALLY how is he still functioning irl when hes this clueless lmao. the shit he said about her father and how she should just “move on” like ????? NO???? shes sharing her trauma with u like... anyway im glad they broke up LMAO i dont like Kaoru that much but she deserves better

• Motomi meeting Ryotaro's parents!!

They're so cuuute!! They're so funny esp his dad! Haha! Also, at first the dad looks strict-- i kinda thought that he should've "switched looks" with Motomi's dad as Ryotaro's dad looks a bit strict but is really warm and Motomi's dad looks warm but is strict. Idk haha does that make sense? Haha Anyway

They're so easy to talk to and so sweet. That moment when he's told their love story 😆🥺😆 this is just such a sweet moment and i think Motomi fit just right with them. This is just all over such a funny, feel good and sweet moment ❤ it's so refreshing to watch hahaha

OMG I LOOOOOOVE RYOTARO’S PARENTS hahaahah they were so so welcoming and so adorable. i think they could really tell just how head over heels their son was 😭😭 we love supportive families. i was smiling the whole time with how cute they all were to each other 😭💖

• Ayano Shuntaro going to his home

Shuntaro's family is so rich and elegant?? Hahaha that garden?? I thought it was like they went into a private/national park 😆 that cave?? When he said he used to just climb and play around there like, what?? That's so cool?? And That house, with a forrest BESIDE the house?? So fancy??? Hahaha. I thought they're gonna meet Shuntaro's parents? Also i wondered how their conversation went with Shuntaro's brother 👀👀 haha

holy shit yeah, Shuntaro is RICH rich lol!!! i couldn’t rly tell before i saw the house but damnnnn. his house is a tourist destination i believe! someone on reddit found the website. a lot of ppl on reddit were saying Ayano was gold digging after that scene but meh i dont rly agree. i think she has her own money (at least seeing her wardrobe lmao) but anyway i can see how he has that ~wealthy~ vibe haha

• Bachelor/bachelorette party:

What do think about this?

I don't think there's much to talk about the guys' party haha (Ryotaro's so sweet what he said about Motomi when he was doing darts)

LMAO MISAKI’S SELF INSULTS. that was the best part for me hahaha i was like, at least hes self aware. also im glad the guys got to be friends lmao at least something good came out of it. i’ll talk more about their dynamics in the final ep discussion hahaah

The girls' party

It's soo good to see all of them again! I'm so happy to see Priya and Nana too hahaha. When the girls took turns telling how things are going with each of their relationships--

- Kaoru looks so vulnerable and serious at the time.

this is where i like Kaoru the most tbh hahaah with the girls. 

- Midori-- god this girl. Hahaa. The things she really has to say is "Wataru lost weight", im like gurl really? Hahaha! Nothing serious but just an interesting thing to say first hahaha just i think she's also just trying to lighten things up. It's good that she's actually honest (and consistent too haha) about her feelings, I appreciate that, at least.

yeah i really appreciate her dynamic with the other girls tbh! i feel like she really brings up the mood for everyone, you know? like a lot of ppl feel more reserved but shes ~open~ and plays off Priya really well!! maybe becaues theyve both lived abroad?

• Kaoru Misaki break-up

Is it just me or did Misaki looked like he genuinely suprised/sad about their break-up?? Like he's really not aware about things not going well with them? Haha. Well, we've seen this coming. I don't think Kaoru is upset/sad at all haha, she looked like she's expecting it anyway.

omg yes this was so weird to me LMAO. he was so sad but its like dude why didnt u do better. pls. i was so done with his shit at this point that i was like “ok whatever” HAHAHA not even phazed. i think she knew she wasnt gonna marry this guy from early on, and prob just wanted more air time 🤣

• Midori & Wataru talks about the wedding

Omgg what do you think? This is such a click-baity drama haha. Made me think that, "maybe Midori just isn't into marriage, in general?" since she's been so independent since but idk haha. What do you think?

omgggg yeah i feel like the editing was crafty here. someone (I CANT RMB WHO IT WAS!! i think it was Midori or it might have been Minami actually) said in an instagram post that a lot of stuff was taken out of context or edited out to make things seem more intense. so i feel like i wanna give Midori the benefit of the doubt? i do agree that she kinda has that ‘lived abroad before’ feeling of being more independant hahaha

• Ryotaro fixing Motomi's hair moment again huhu so cute haha

UGH I DIED HERE OMG i would love this kinda domestic moment!!!

• After watching the final ep--looking back at this Ayano-Shuntaro preview interview before the wedding--It's interesting, huh??? 👀👀 knowing what happened and what Ayano said. Hahaha. What do you think? 👀😂

this was totally bait HAHAHA i was so shocked to see her in the wedding dress. i was like NOOOOO WAYYYYYYY IT’S GONNA BE DISASTER!

Ep 11, Finale:

• Ayano-Shuntaro

Umm, OH MY GOD? 👀👀

I can say i wasn't suprised they didn't end up getting married but..the way they ended things?? It's interesting 👀 ahaha!

Surprised they made it to the actual wedding day! 😆

Did Shuntaro have planned that before the wedding or could he have changed his mind just at that day or last minute??oh my god? Haha i mean, good to know because he seems so mature with what he decided.

omggggg okay i feel like he couldnt go thru with it last minute. like i feel like he was still unsure up to it but then once he got there and changed he was like ... nah LOL. 

I also felt Ayano being nervous but weirdly like sure? It seems like she's made up her mind. She looks a bit suprised when Shuntaro walked in?? Did she expect she's the one to end things but never expect for Shuntaro to end it??omg haha

I predicted she's gonna reject him anyway 😆 but when and what moment?? Omg idk! Was she planning to say no at the altar?? Whaat?? Do you see her saying yes, at all? How about you, what do you think?? 👀👀 the dramaaa!😆

i actually wasnt surprised that the couples broke up before getting to the altar. i feel like that was definitely more emphasized in the US version. but someone on reddit speculated that it would be super rude to get all your family and friends there just for there to be no wedding LMAO WHICH IS TRUE!!!! 

so i honestly think she was gonna go through with it and maybe break up after???? or at least play it cool in front of the cameras???? idk but she DEFINITELY seemed surprised by Shuntaro’s apeparance.

Also, she seemed relieved about it (and maybe Shuntaro was the one who ended it? 👀 Haha) and as he said, Shuntaro was a bit

They really have to get their suit and wedding dress on (I meaan, better than being rejected right at the altar right?) just before that confrontation 😆 THE DRAMA hahaha

I mean, at least they get to wear fancy clothes and they look nice when they ended things 😆

I kind of felt bad for Shuntaro in the end aw. Did he said he expected to at least Ayano resisted or ask him to talk more? But instead, she let go so fast haha. Aw man. Hope he finds good match for him.

AFDSLJKASDF OK PPL WERE TOTALLY DEBATING OVER THIS MOMENT ON REDDIT and im still undecided as to which side im on!!!! some ppl were like “oh hes so immature. like he wanted her to beg for him” but then other ppl were saying that “he’s just upset.” i feel like im leaning towards the latter side and being more empathetic with him??? like YOU SPENT ALL THIS TIME TOGETHER!! of COURSE he would’ve expected her to be a little more sad about it. that seems natural!!! he was obviously sad that it didn’t work out. but instead she was like lol bye. honestly that whole conversation was a MESS. 

And Ayano telling her friends the wedding is cancelled omgg loool haha. So awkward for them??haha.

I think its for the better for both parties, right? Age gap def was a factor (not that it's a bad thing cause sometimes people still work, sometimes they don't). Ayano didn't seem to totally in love with Shuntaro. Shuntaro seemed like he would like to get to know Ayano much more but always felt she's a bit closed off and that they're relationship didn't get deeper? I'm not sure. What are your thoughts?

What do you think of these two and the whole drama?? 👀👀 haha!

a lot of ppl were really bashing on Shuntaro online for the whole “she left me for two days thing,” which seemed to color his whole perception of her for the rest of their time living together. i can’t really make a definitive judgement without knowing the whole story, but she did admit that all she told him was ‘i have to take care of my dog.’ i can understand how he got that impression from her, that she was trying to escape him from the beginning. if she had explained at the dog had an illness, he would’ve been like “oh okay that makes sense.” so it just seems really frustrating to communicate with her. and so that rift between them just kept growing and growing.

anyway im glad they didnt get married HAHA. i think they really just werent suited for each other and i hope they can find others. i wasn’t rly happy with her when she was being weirded out by his taking photos (it’s his hobby!!!! ugh like nanako and the potatoes all over again) but he also could’ve tried to communicate his feelings better from the beginning. UGH. hahah

• Motomi-Ryotaro

OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM, OF COURSE THEY WOULD BE THE END GAME!! 🥺🥺💖 hahaha

Same location with Ayano-Shuntaro?? Why?? Do you think it was supposed to be the same?or we just didn't got the chance to see Ayano/Shuntaro's?

Motomi gets to wear her first wedding dress!! 🥺 she looks so lovely!! She deserve it and deserve to feel beautiful on her day! (I hope they get to have a real real in life wedding ceremony tho!) 💕 her mom is so funny pls, when she asked Motomi if she brushed her teeth, like yes mom of course 😂 and the "not so bad, in the right clothes", so cute hahaha! Motomi with her family's dynamic is so cute and nice. Haha

💯💯💯💯💯 YES AGREEEEE i was grinning so hard when they came on!!!

Her dad is there and he's smiling!! That's wonderful, thank god!! 😂 and he gets to walk her down the aisle 🥺

Cute moment with Ryotaro & his parents too haha, he looks such a good boi in all white suit haha. Also, When Ryotaro said, "there's no way she's a no-show right?" 😩🥺 like dude, she likes you a lot, trust!! Haha

I wasn't familiar with how the contestant were introduce so the revealing of whether or not the groom/bride is present at the wedding through behind the curtain is kind of nerve wracking! Haha but oh thank god haha.

I WAS SO CONFUSED AT FIRST i was like why is there english?? but evidently western-style weddings are quite popular in Japan rn? so you can find work easily as a white person doing weddings LMAO. 

I mean, this is just what we expect, right?This is perfect 💕 This is just what we want to see always, two people who like and love each other. They're just so right for each other and flow so naturally and so easy. I love that both families are there and friends too.

Ryotaro's vow is short and sweet. Motomi, my god-- SHE GOT US THERE. The PAUS IS SO INTENSE AND LONG?? SHE DID TOOK HER TIME Hahaha! I stopped breathing for a minute! like gurl don't scare us like that! 😆 oh, she knows how to do suspense and how to do drama for a show hahaha! which i just realized, reminiscent of her reply to Ryotaro's proposal in the pod!! When i thought she'd say no but really just listed off things about her and will Ryotaro take her then she also asked if he wants to marry her 🥺 istg-- these two are like fanfic troupe couple but realistic and real people 😆

im absolutely certain they edited the pause to be way longer than it was HAHAHA but omg yes it was so so so sweet 😭😭😭 like i was so scared they wouldnt make it at first when she saw his hair but THE WAY THEY OVERCAME IT ALL TO BE HAPPY AHHHHHHHHH

Its so funny and cute when Ryotaro was nervous whether she'd say yes, like of course dude she will!! Aw 🥺 haha

okay but like i get it hahaha. some things are scary even when u know what the answer will be 🤣 my bf says he’s nervous about (eventually) proposing even tho im gonna say yes. but omg so cute how much Ryotaro fretted!!!

They are like the epitome of (idk but from what I saw haha) "love is easier when its with the right person", like awww. They make me want to fall in love too 😂

yesss omg relationships take work but the love between y’all should always just flow smoothly and well. i see too many things online where ppl are fighting all the time but still wanting to be together. like noooo, it should be like 95% easy and good haha. 

Overall this is just so cute and so sweet and happy-- we expected it and i was just so happy watching them. Makes me think its sooo insane and fascinating that couples really do find love and get married for real with these kind of shows!! 😂💕

I stalked their IGs (I'm sure/i think you did too? 👀😂) and Motomi posted!!! They got married on Jan. 11 this year huhu!!! So happy for them also that they got to have a real, non show, legit wedding ceremony!! ugh so happy for them 🥺💖

What do you think about these two? 👀

you said it all my friend!!! Motomi’s pics were soooo cute and i love how everyone latched onto Pupu LMAO i rly love all the pupu + Ryotaro pics hahaha. overall i just felt so satisfied watching these two fall for each other and they were definitely the best couple of the show. 

• Midori-Wataru

👀👀👀 think this THE couple we've been waiting for!!! This is what the people watch the show for, the suspense and the drama!! 😆

I felt like I held my breath from the moment they entered the place-- well, specifically, by just watching Midori get ready up to them in the altar together. Like,MY GOD THIS IS SO INTENSE 😂😂 they really did save them for last hahaha

I thought it would end up badly but then, if they're the last couple-- it is supposed to be happy ending? Really, i'm just so confused with Midori up to the very last minute as much as how she looks so confused/hesistant in this show 😆

i mean OFC hahaah gotta end with a bang!! but omg yes i was honestly kinda afraid she would leave him at the altar... like holy shit i didnt wanna watch that happen 🤣 so im glad it didnt

Quite impressed that Wataru has a lot of faith with Midori's answer huh. Wow, that's the kind of person you want! Haha or sort of have a lot of trust with whatever Midori decides on, is it? What do you think?

it made me wonder what kind of conversations they had off camera!!! 👀 bc like all we saw was her hesitation and asking him like “what would you do if i said no” right?? maybe Wataru was certain that he’s a catch 🤣🤣 im certain he knew something we didnt!!

With Midori's confessionals, really did make me think that maybe marriage isn't a big thing to her (at least not yet). Maybe she's just not that type of person who's into marriage so much. So maybe that's what makes her hesistant. Idk. What do you think?

that’s a fair assessment tbh. i feel like she was gonna be ok whether or not she ended up marrying someone in the end. like it wasnt the end all be all goal. having a good match seemed to be the most important! i admire that :’)))) 

I think it's good that she's thinking about things cause you do have to be sure about who you're going to marry (so sometimes doubts can be good too? Makes you think, whether or not you/the other person is the one you're unsure of). She seems like the type of person to make completely sure she makes the right decision esp since her life is on it too! Haha. So i get the parents saying they trust her with what she decided.

The place is different and I think, prettier than the other 2? Why is that? Haha. But then the earlier is an open air and it felt lighter so haha. Anyways

I AGREE it’s definitely prettier because there was just too much grass outside i think LOL but i read that the couples got to choose where they got married :) idk if i’ll have a church wedding but it’s definitely a gorgeous location!! what do you want? i dont rly want an outdoor one either tho LMAOOOO im allergic to grass and pollen 🤣🤣

Mori and Misaki as their guests looool hahaha 😂 so cute. Bros with Wataru for sure haha. I wish we could've seen other contestants with Ryotaro-Motomi's wedding too! But that probably happened that their real-real wedding huh? Haha

pls i was so happy when i saw Mori LOL i was like BROOOOOO

JEEZUS Midori's answer to "how you felt when you saw each other"-- she was like, "i can't find the right words but I'm so happy you've come this far with me" like whaaaaat duality, SUSPENSE MUCH OMG 😆😆 ITS SO INTENSE HAHAHA i can't-- stg i was covering my eyes at the moment bracing whatever 😆

In fairness to Wataru, he didn't looked nervous, THE TRUST! 😆 well im glad they have that kind of trust

THE PAUSE IS MUCH MORE INTENSE with this one hahaha. Midori finally said yes! I am surprised and felt soo relieved!! Ahaha! Were you surprised? What was your reaction??👀👀😂

OKAYYYYY I WAS SO HAPPY HAHAHA. i was like 80% sure she would marry him bc damn you’re already up there 🤣 and with the encouragement of her mom like... she knew she had a good man who was willing to do a lot for her. but that 20% had me worried hahaha. i think i would understand if ultimately she was like ‘im just not attracted to him’ which is important, but it’s not the most important thing for me. and i think her mom helped her see that in the end.

I really hope none's feelings were forced tho haha of anyone.

And plus they really do seem so good and natural together!! It's just sometimes what Midori says contradicts with what we see on her reactions when she's with Wataru, which is I think she likes him a lot too!

SERIOUSLY they were always touching each other!! i was like GIRL WDYM YOU DONT LIKE HIM LMAO. 

Like, THANK GOD THIS TWO WORKED OUT THINGS together (THANK GOD, MIDORI! I reallly hope she's suuuure!! 😆 CONGRATS hahahaha)!! They both said yes! 😆😆💕 So happy for them too! (I'm just biased with Ryotaro-Motomi 😆 ahehe)

And aw, they did the thing when they first saw each other which was Wataru picking up Midori and kissed her aww!

Midori also posted on IG!! Aww good fkr them, finally!! 😆💕

What do you think with these two???👀👀 the most awaited couple hahaha!

(Will continue this for additional thoughts on the wrap up of the show haha)

TELL ME all your thoughts-- CAN'T WAIT TK HEAR THEM! 💟

-🧇

ALLLLL THE LUPIN PICS!!!! im so happy to see Wataru and Lupin together and that theyre all so happy 😭💕 im really glad they ended up together. esp with all her insta lives, they seem really good and solid :’)))))))))) all the drama can finally end hahah

The wedding montages are so cute!

• Idk if you noticed but have you seen Motomi's dad throwing flower petals for the newly wed couple?? So cute 😩😆

yes i was obsessed with this. Motomi’s dad is so cute despite all the scariness she initially said hahaha

• The cake eating loool haha cute and classic haha

• omggg Ryotaro & Motomi introducing each other as husband and wife 😭🥺 i caaaaan't! My heart huhu 🥺😭💕😆 so cuuuuuuute! It felt sooo real omg hahaha

• Wataru and Midori classic throwing back jokes to each other hahaha. I CAN'T WITH MIDORI when she said "make me sign in my sleep" about making it official like GURL! 😆 i can't believe how ballsy and blunt she is to make jokes like that ahahaha

im a SUCKER for that first intro as officially married partners ALWAYS. 

yess omg Wataru is such a jokester but Midori matches his energy so well!!!

Interview with the hosts:

• Each couple looked so styliiiish!! Love itt! 💕

• Look at that Midori with her boots, so pretty, i really like her style too haha

• RYOTARO & MOTOMI COLORED HAIR COUPLE!!!!! Her hair fits her sooo well, so pretty! Finally Blonde Ryotaro's back (not that i didn't like him with black hair)! Most prob Ryotaro did her hair too!!! 😭🥺💕 I CAN'T WITH THEM-- TOO ADORABLE!!!

• Overall, Ryotaro and Motomi are just ADORABLE AND ENDEARING uggh 😭🥺 thank god they found each other😩💟💟

AHHHHH I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW HER HAIR!!!! IT LOOKS SO GOOD ON HER and the greater metaphor of it all like IM SQUEALING. TRULY THE PERFECT CIRCLE TO COMPLETE THEIR STORY 😭😭😭😭😭 i really did like Ryotaro’s black hair more than the blonde (mayb because during the show his roots had grown out so it reminded me too much of Backstreet Boys’ frosted tips HAHA) but he goos good either way 😎😎

• Midori and Wataru didn't really changed cause I think that's how they've always been which is sooo good. It seem like Midori chose her words a bit careful now haha. Its good to hear her POV about her decision of saying yes haha. Having reservations up to the day before your wedding day? Oh my god that was so close 😂 thank god for the two of them! Hahaha

• So maybe it's marriage, in general-- that Midori's really skeptic about haha. Which I now totally get why haha.

yesss i think she grew a lot through the process and Wataru has made her more mature. he’s like 8 years older than her right? but i always felt like he was pretty “wise.” though tbh when he was with Priya, i kinda found him too show-offy and didn’t like him for a while hahaha but anyway i think they’re really making each other grow. 

I also think the hosts did a fairly good job asking them qs and being funny haha. I wish they could've been in the show more or interact with the contestant or smth, even just reacting/commentary cause i think they can pull that off pretty well (sort of like Terrace House-esque commentators haha) but anyways haha. Maybe its the show's format which im not familiar of haha.

What do you think about the interview? 👀

the interview as a whole was sooooo cute! seriously it made me miss the hosts so much bc their sense of humor was A+. i feel like the hosts were there more in LIB USA season 1 ... or maybe im just remembering wrong. anyway, i would totally watch a director’s cut with the hosts talking about the entire show LOL! 

it was a really nice touch to do the interview with the couples and to see them be happy. i always love it when a manga series does like “where are they ten years later” thing so i LOVED this even tho it wasnt nearly that long of a time haha. but it was good to have something that was free of drama, you know?

The whole "What/how are they doing now"-- with the former contestants is just a bit awkward? Only because you just remember how were they when they were with their partners before, you know? (Looking at Mori and Minami 👀 really wish both of them well 😩 huhu). Is this segment really a part of the show's format or only Japan have this?

ummmm i can’t remember! but i feel like it’s not uncommon in reality shows to do it? 🤔 im kinda glad they did tho. i think it made some people seem more likeable, like we were seeing them out of their element and in times of stress so maybe they weren’t totally themselves.

They didn't interview Nana 😥she was with Minami!! (Or maybe she refused? Huhu)

ACTUALLY interestingly enough, Minami is apparently REALLY good friends with Mizuki and Misaki! it was on her instagram q&a, when someone asked her who she’s closest w from the show. i thought it’d be some of the women but nope! i didnt see them hitting it off as friends whatsoever haha their personalities seem pretty different 🤣 

Misaki involved with the UN? Alright werk!

OK WHERE WAS THIS MISAKI WHEN KAORU NEEDED A PARTNER HAHAHA i was happy to see that he’s at least functional on his own and pretty damn good at his job but why is he so forgetful off the clock??? 🤣

Also, good for Priya and Mizuki! They're both doing pretty well esp in career?? Haha (saw Priya's IG story the other day that she's with Kaoru and i think they're at Misuki's store, supporting his business!)

yes omg the pudding LOL I hope Mizuki thought things through this time and that his shop succeeds lmao. but i bet it got a lot of press from the LIB release so maybe that’ll help. they must’ve ended things on pretty good terms tho, if she’s helping out?? that surprised me bc it felt more dramatic than that. or maybe theyre able to be friends bc romance is completely off the table now.

Look at Shuntaro just enjoy life! Good for him! Haha

Shuntaro x male contestants is the best ending 🤣🤣🤣 yeah i thought it was interesting of them to throw in such an older contestant, when the median age of the women was like 35. it’s such a huge gap!

Ryotaro & Motomi being domestic by eating lunch together and picking up rings!!! Midori & Wataru as well!! Awwwh 💖💖 I love that the show ended with them trying out the rings! 💕

YES I KNOW 😭😭😭 i was also rly interested in the fact that it seems common to have smaller rings in Japan? i ended up doing some research about it and it seems that a small, practical stone is popular whereas here in western society, it’s all about the bling lmao. i like JP’s way of doing it way better. i feel like there is too much pressure here around weddings. at least in terms of needing a huuuuuge bash with a huge ring to properly prove your love to each other or some bs. ive heard of ppl going into debt for a wedding too, which i think is crazy asfkljadfs SORRY THAT WAS SUCH A TANGENT LMAO i just feel strongly about this 🤣

I really like this Love is Blind Japan, enjoyed watching it a lot! hehehe thank you for posting about this!! I get to watch it! Haha 💟

im SO SO SO SO HAPPY AND BLESSED that you watched it with me and that we got to talk about it together 😭😭😭 you are the BEST and im so happy you enjoyed it as much as i did! i saw online that they’re already doing auditions for season 2 so 👀 i hope we can watch it again then too!!!

Sooo, what are your thoughts? Reactions? Additional infos or gossip you've heard/read about the cast or show? Hehehe LET'S TALK!! I'm so excited what you think about all of these!!! Can't wait! 👀👀💟💟

OKOK ive been on reddit a lot and they post all the insta posts that the contestants post!! most of them have been pupu or lupin (super cute hehe) but like .... this one really worried me, about Minami’s deleted IG reel. i can totally understand how she might have come off way too aggressive or rude because of the editing, even though i believe she and Mori ended things on good terms. just thinking about what happened in Terrace House with the cyberbullying... i’m super worried about her and i hope that she isn’t getting too much hate coming her way! i was also afraid of Midori getting some rude comments afdsljksadf. like at the end of the day we’re only seeing these ppl for a few months and not their whole lives. there’s a lot about them that we don’t know so i cant even fathom wanting to send a stranger rude msgs. ugh asfdlkjasfd i hope theyre all doing well. 

on the lighter side, ive felt really happy seeing more pics of our favorite couple 🥺😭 such a crazy way to meet and i am just overwhelmed that it all worked out and was great. just take my whole heart pls omg. also the fact that most of the candidates seemed to at least make 1-2 friends, even if they didn’t find a lifelong partner. that’s really great bc they all have this super unique experience to bond over. sighhhhhh this was just such a wholesome ride compared to the US version. i actually watched a clip of Shake and Deepti’s wedding ceremony and then read an article about the drama that went on and i was like DAMN lmao that’s actually insane. have you read about them? 🤣 i dont wanna say too much and spoil you if you havent!!!

anyway--i look forward to your response if you wanna discuss further!! <3

also... on a honest side note, which im putting down here because im sure only you (+ a few other ppl, if that) will read this far down LOL. thank you again for your patience. ive felt so bad about not being able to get this reply out to you in a decent time frame. the truth is, ive been really struggling with being online and on social media in the past little while, especially with all the news and the daily bombardment of just people being awful to each other online. compounded with my headaches/eye strain it’s all just been a lot to process so i’ve been away from my laptop and away from a lot of my usual haunts. i didnt post it online on my profile bc i didnt wanna seem like a drama queen so ive just been doing myself and my life. so thank you for waiting for me and i appreciate you SO SO much 😭💖 i hope you’re taking care and that you had a great March ❤️ and that April will be even better for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
