Okay. Some things I am looking forward to in the next four years:

Artists who will make music about the despair of, but also in protest to, and calls to fight against, this situation

Seeing a Free Palestine

My siblings' birthdays

Inaction people/people more content with letting things play out than actively working for change realising that now more than ever is the time to take action

Graduating

Not letting tr*mpies know a single day of comfort or rest

Outliving his last day in office, ever

My birthday

My friends' birthdays

Seeing other people's creations, whether political or not, that they find joy in

This is all I can think of right now. Feel free to add yours <3

All the MagiReco favorites I have.

To say goodbye until the private server is up, but there were good memories. Yeah, Kuroe was my favorite, but I do have a few others I like. I also have some English screenshots, for those who want to dig a bit through my account.

I’ve learned that this isn’t a normal question, but I usually ask this when I meet new people as a sort of icebreaker.

What are your top 3 favorite organs? I’m not talking about which organs are most crucial to keeping you alive or which organs you can’t live without, I’m talking about which organs you have the most fondness for and think are the coolest. Tell me in the tags.

Mild thoughts on Volume 4.

So, I'm still processing the season finale, and my vol.4 of the light novel thankfully arrived in the mail yesterday to lift my mood. So I figured I'd do a post about it instead.

Spoilers under the cut.

I'll start light:

Bridget is far more likeable and understandable in the light novel. She actually treats Shall decently (for a slave, if you can believe) by eating meals with him at a table. Also, her feelings for her family and those of the workshop are far clearer. She also oddly talks to Anne early on about the First Silver Sugar tale. It's a uniquely cute conversation I wish was in the anime because it's one of the few moments where Bridget's kindness is on full display because not only does she not punish Shall for laughing at her naivety but she actually talks to Anne in a civil manner.

On the note of Bridget, at the very end of the volume, we're clued in to how she obtains Rafael as a companion fairy. He simply shows up at her back door in the middle of the night and she's smitten with his looks.

I don't have many notes on the workshop beyond the side characters like King and Orland receiving more backstory and lines of dialogue. Orland's feelings for Bridget are clearer in the light novel.

Glen, on the other hand, is fascinating. He's a strict father who does in fact get pissed off that his daughter is isolating a fairy alongside herself. However, one big difference from the anime is during the time Glen is in possession of Shall's wing. In the anime, Shall is relieved to swap hands; however, in the light novel, there is no relief because of how strict Glen feels as a person. Even Anne points out internally how Glen is treating Shall like an object. That said, Glen is roughly how he is in the anime, he gives Shall direct orders but like Anne in the first volume, he doesn't intend to punish Shall for disobeying. And he does tell Elliot to give the wing to Anne if their workshop is chosen for the selection.

Finally, on my notes, we have Shall himself. And, of course, this is kind of why the light novel is necessary to understand the anime...

The guy's inner thoughts and dialogue are so interesting. I personally loved reading through his feelings on Anne during this volume. Unironically, Shall feels sorry for Bridget midway through the volume. Apparently, he was owned by a noble child in the past who acted similar to Bridget (and Rafael in his earlier stages): The person desired his affections because they had never been loved themselves and they treated Shall alright but of course Shall doesn't like being owned so the child would lash out whenever Shall wasn't being complacent. Although Shall feels sympathy towards Bridget, he refuses to be kind to her even after his wing trades hands to Glen.

The situation with Anne is unique in the light novel: Shall is a "say one thing, mean another" type of guy. He is already noticing his feelings for Anne as early as his first meeting with her in the book. Shall knows he'll be punished if Bridget sees him but he desperately wants to see Anne. And, by the time his wing has changed hands to Glen, Shall is admitting internally that his love for Anne is like Liz's love for him. Although, the near-kiss in the anime is purely an anime-only thing. In the light novel, Mythril is there the entire time, and it's all his imagination because he wondered earlier if kissing Anne would cause her to fluster and yell or run off crying (he loves teasing Anne, I swear), and he has an urge to again here, and Mythril interrupts his thoughts like in the anime. Afterwards, Shall covers his face and thinks: "Did I look like I wanted her that badly?" Even at the end of the volume, Shall still wants to kiss Anne, he's close enough that Anne "feels his warm breath on her lips", and only apparently chooses to kiss her forehead for a blessing last minute.

The trio scenes are adorable: Anne thinks of Shall and Mythril as basically family throughout this volume. It's what they are to her. So when Shall is back in their room, Mythril is so happy he's climbing all over Shall who holds him by his collar as usual whilst Mythril is trying to essentially hug Shall (in a sense).

Anyway, those are my thoughts on the volume. Can't wait to read vol.5, things will get interesting. If anyone wants to add their own thoughts later, feel free.
