I hate linking videos for whatever reason but the submission box will only let me embed one so. Guess I'll Die. BUT ANYWAY. You can see what I'm talking about here and here (also hiiiii Nakai, Iura, and Terajima) but I think Jo should have Tsutsumi's nervous tics like rubbing his lip and blinking fast :) I think it would be cute :) moe even :) though he doesn't have much to be nervous about :) but I mean once in a blue moon y'know :) OK that's all bye

[first video]

[second video]

OH BUT WAAAAAIT WAVELENGTH i always did imagine jo having a nervous-blinking type of tendency i am AHEAD of you brother (╯▽╰ )(╯▽╰ )

whats up its stampede saturday and ive GOT SO MANY THOUGHTS

trigun/stampede/manga spoilers blah blah im normal

ok so what the fuck /pos

ok so fuck. i know i said i had thoughts but ah to put them into words FUCK

disclaimer: i’ve read the manga and seen 1998 trigun so i know whats up.

The Tesla scene. god. they made it much more gruesome and i loved it. KEEPING HER ALIVE ooooh that hurts. but i wish they had a whole episode to explain tesla, what the humans did to her and how this drastically changed the twins’ POV of humanity and their place in the world. bc god that scene was only like less than 2 mins long and i dont think they did her much justice. maybe they will dive into it more but i doubt it since they have to deal with A GIANT PLANT MONSTER

that thing is gorgeous btw. the animation style is so good, that doesnt need to be said but god the studio is using the medium so well. im sure some botany fanatic is gushing about the flora symbolism. and i’ve no clue how July will perish now. anyway, vash is gonna feel SO guilty after this. oh goodness.

VASH HANGING ONTO HIS LAST REMNANTS OF REM THAT HURT LIKE A BITCH FUCK. AND WHEN NAI TOLD HIM “i did this [The big fall] all for you” “so its my fault”. OH BOY I DO LIKE TO SEE VASH SUFFER BUT BITCH THAT FUCKING HURTS. man. seeing him as a husk, a void vash, and it hurt. and him asking if he knew meryl and roberto, fuck!! ouchie!! and also Knives reading the Bible and deciding “yeah humanity is fucked and heres the proof” is SO FUCKING FUNNY. lmao. the implications that he was inspired yet disgusted by the bible sm that he despises humanity and also started a religious cult. oh my god.

Wolfwood wasn’t in a hurry to leave. he didnt want to get involved but he wasn’t rushing to the exit to move on with his life. he was hanging around just in case. of what? idk. this tristamp WW is a bit more mysterious for me and i like it. He didnt make Meryl leave either. didnt bother to stop her. that says so much about him.

oh and poor meryl. for a sec i saw the vines unleash in the room and thought it was gonna be like that volume where she sees what Vash’s feels/sees bc she touches his feathers. i got so scared. bc damn it. every moment in the manga has its impact and trying to shuffle them around to fit this new story hurts me personally /sarcasm. again, i LOVE this new show. im thankful for this new cake but sometimes i see remnants of the manga and i miss the original story. anyway, i cant wait to see what will happen to July, WW and Meryl.

also wtf happy birthday twins i fucking guess. idk if it was hinted before but what a jumpscare. but not a terrible jumpscare as the fucking plants being impregnated by Vash or Knives of the fucking core or whatever the fuck. like yeah. i know the metaphors of motherhood and shit but fucking. i didnt need that imagery personally. and i dont wanna think about it anymore. yall can have it. whatever. it just makes me uncomfy, nothing serious lol

it seems like they keep touching, briefly, on plot points from the manga but not exploring them fully. and i get it. its hard to explain anything from og trimax in 22 minutes, much less 12 episodes. and also i cant blame them so much. maybe watching this live is skewing my view of the entirety of the show. i am definitely re watching this when its finished. i fucking love trigun. and so i won’t comment much on the event order or whatever. i should just let it go. Its a new show with remnants of the manga and its so cool.

.anyway last episode is the day before my birthday so yipee! bday gift for me lol

edit: VASH HAS LEG PROSTHETICS WOOW how did he lose em hmmm

[by-persephone]

[arashian155]

Gintama Ask Game!

Last time you watched / read Gintama? Well... I’d say the beginning of October? I had to reread the manga from scratch to write my Gintoki Bday Bash fic! :) 

Favorite male character? TOUUUUSHIIIIIIII~! Love of my LIFE!!!!!

Favorite female character? Kagura! MY DAUGHTER. 

Favorite male character design? I’m stuck between ponytail Toushi and joui war Zura....it’s too hard to choose???? (also lol you can probably tell I have a type)...also like, Farewell, Shinsengumi arc Zura when they dressed up as Naraku, THE PONYTAIL YES IT’S THE PONYTAIL OK. Also honorary mention to Kamui. 

Favorite female character design? THIS IS REALLY HARD?? I adore Tsukuyo’s design, but Kouka’s like...the most beautiful female character I’ve ever seen in the history of anime? Also Asaemon’s really really cool? I DON’T KNOW????? 

Most underrated character? Are these questions gonna keep getting harder???? So the thing is, I’m not really sure I understand the question right so I’m just gonna. Well, ramble lol. If we’re talking about THE most underrated character in canon, then the answer is BY FAR Zura! He should’ve had much more spotlight than what he got. But if the question is who’s most underrated in the fandom, then well...I’d probably say Shimaru? 

Best squad? SHINSENGUMI!!!!! <333333 

Favorite episode or arc? Episode: idk if it’s my “favorite” but I don’t think I watched anything else in Gintama as much as episode 231, the funeral episode. I watched it no less than 20 times (seriously) and it never gets any less hilarious and I really wanna know what Sorachi was on when he wrote it???

Arc: Farewell, Shinsengumi arc. Hands down best arc in the history of anime, no exaggeration. 

OTP(s)? HijiGin and OkiKagu! <3333 

BROTP(s)? I’m glad there’s an “(s)” because I was never gonna choose one lol. Okay so: Kondou/Zura, Kagura/Shinpachi, Kondou/Toushi, Gintoki/Zura. I’m sure if I reread my answer tomorrow I’ll be able to name at least 5 more BROTPs that I should’ve mentioned. :) 

An unpopular opinion?  I don’t really know how popular of an opinion it is, but I have some...issues with how much of a spotlight Takasugi was given in the final arc compared to just about every other character in the show sans Gintoki. The arc felt too heavily focused on Takasugi and Gintoki with everyone else playing minor roles. 

Favorite running joke? HOW DO YOU CHOOSE ONE JOKE??? Here’s a few: all variations of “zura ja nai katsura da!”, Shinpachi being a human-wearing glasses, “SHOGUN KAYO!!!!!” and, well, it’s probably not a “running” joke, but that episode of “no, it’s poop” had me screaming. 

Favorite OST? Know, Know, Know I think? It really fits the dark and badass mood of Farewell, Shinsengumi arc so well! 

Feelings about the upcoming movie? DON’T TOUCH ME. I’m emotional, I’m happy because the trailer shows VERY PROMISING AND BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEOUS ANIMATION, and it’s been so long and I miss Gintama and can’t wait to see it, but also I don’t wanna see it because that’s really the end and Gintama SHOULD LIVE FOREVER??? It’s breaking my heart thinking about it really ending??? MIXED FEELINGS ALL OVER!!!! :’)  SO! Thank you so much @whoyoucallingtoshi for tagging me! SO SORRY it took me 34263 years to do this! I had so much fun answering these questions!!! <3333 AND WE HAVE SO MANY SIMILAR ANSWERS HAHAHA!  I’mma tag @saltedpin , @writing-in-sin , @sailormeowmeow , @wahh-chan if you guys feel like doing this! :D 

[glossymusings]

(this is a letter I wrote to my boyfriend for his quarantine Birthday)

Hello Popu :)

Lets start this with a smile pleaseee🙈😌

(i clearly didnt know how to start😂)

So Heyyyy Babyy❤️ and *A VERY VERY VERY HAPPPYYYY BIRTHHDAAYYYYYY*!!!!!!!!!

🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

I write this to let you know that you are the most worthiest thing happened in my life so this letter/whatever is *just an effort* to outline my feelings for you.💘💘

AND This will be the first letter I've ever written to you- or anybody in that case🥺

Well anyways, let me tell you that the tone of this letter may change(more like I know it will change) so that’s just a little warning for you.

This might jump around quite a bit and if you hadn’t noticed…there will be many parentheses because of either my inside thoughts😛, apologizing for putting my thought or something else.

And there will be parts where it won’t even make sense, remember I am stupid and also I am writing this late at night/morning.

But I want you to know that I am going to work hard on this letter and hopefully make it special and not retarded sounding. I will also try to make you laugh with some humor but I know I probably will fail,

but you can laugh at how bad my writing is! Okay?

Also i'll try not to overuse those 3 words (i love you) and scare you off.

AND this has nothing to do with your 20(age)..but i think i don't think i say this enough isliye aaj bol rahi hu and i'll try my best to not make this super duper cheesy and long

the things written below purely come from my pathar dil so much in love with you and also the reason why I am making this is because

it is your birthday and I wanted to give you something at least semi-romantic and

hopefully you will think this is special and you’re going to keep it with you(rakh warna maarungi).

So this is the part where i actually start the letter..i really reallllyyyy hope you like it :)

I really wanted to make an illustration/vector art for your birthday(of you ofc) and i even started working on it but mai save karna bhool gayi.. then i got lazy and didnt make it. (sachi mai save karna bhool gayi 😭🤦🏻‍♀️)

Then mujhe idea toh tha pehle se letter/bday message (but tbh I really wanted that letter/bday message to be better than samiksha's(not jealous)) isliye I didn't start(early).

But phir jaise jaise tera bday paas aa raha tha mere paas aur koi idea nai tha(sorryyy 🥺)

(nothing is more romantic than a letter haina?💋)

toh here it is.(Apna first love letter💋💋🐨)

(all the emojis look weird on whatsapp🤷🏻‍♀️)

.

.

I am trying not to go back to the memories of 2018 when we met( kyuki sirf 2 saal hua hai utna toh yaad rakh🙃) but tujhe bhi pata hai we have come a longgg way and apna journey aur bohot hai I hope :)

Thank you for coming into my life, seriously you have changed me for better(or for worse who knows ;) ) YOU are someone, someone that captured my gaze, my thoughts, my mind, maybe even my heart and i fell for you. 👩🏻‍🦽

You made me feel so many feelings i have never experienced before ;) (thats winky face) and dealt with them in ways i can say i'm either proud or not so proud of.😗👉🏻✌🏻👀

You are literally the best.

My Best Friend(I'm your best friend haina?)

One of my biggest supporter(or not)

One of my biggest Inspirations❤️

One of my biggest Blessing🙏🏻🧐

One of my biggest Strength💪🏻

And My Comfort👩‍❤️‍👨

…. my favourite <3.

And seriously you make me happy in a way no one else can🥵

And Popu my biggest wish is that someday we finally meet again and have the greatest time together.😇❤️🙈

I want to have you by my side so badly<3 But mostly I just want you to be happy and keep on going, because you are one of the greatest persons I know. 😌

And i wish you all the best in life and everything you do with your life. I hope that you are happy and although there may be times i really do may fucking hate you, know that i dont.👀❎

Its always easier to hate the person you love when times get tough.(Well it is for me!)

I hate to face the fact that we won’t be able to be with each other that often in the coming months/year. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I knew this was going to be hard(er) but it didn’t hit me on how close this will actually be.

I have enjoyed every moment we have spent together, even though we haven’t really been doing anything too exciting, this has still been the best I have ever

had because of you.

😁✨

I couldn’t want anything else. I don’t like the fact that I won’t be able to spend my lunches with you or even having to wait for buses on bus stop

or sitting on the back seat of buses and holding hands, and watch movies with you :'( ,or quietly sneaking to terrace or staircase (for a few months.)

No matter what past me has said or future me will say... i just want you to know you will forever own every piece of my heart :').

There’s no possible way I can tell you how much I really do love you. I am so happy you gave “us” a chance,

all I can say is thank you and I love you. I hope you enjoy this relationship as much as I do. ❤️

Ever since I’ve known you, you never left my mind, from that first lecture in D5 until now,

you have made a huge impression and the thought you will always be on my mind and in my heart. I love you so much and I cannot wait

for us to grow together and share so many more years of affection and unforgettable memories, cause let’s face it,

with you everything is going to be an adventure. You are not only my boyfriend but also my best friend.

I hope this year brings you loads of love, health, luck, unforgettable moments, laughter and magical emotions. ❤️

......AND I ALSO MISS YOU, A LOT.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

While hand-in-hand (let’s go see it)

T/N: Everyone listen to this song　♪♪

It’s so gentle??? The sounds of the waves are so soothing asdfghjkl

I’m also like. Super deaf. It’s hard to hear some words ;;

10plate = template = 1) something that serves as a model for something, like blueprints, or 2) something used to distribute weight in a wall or something

#2 def describes Ryuu lol

blue bird = a symbol of happiness usually

hummingbird = symbolizes chasing after your dreams or the good in life??? idk man

「 伝うは滲んだ　あの日の色彩の妙 」

「伝う」is convey, and「滲んだ」is to say clearly, so, following the previous line, the template is meant to convey「あの日の色彩の妙」clearly.「あの日の色彩の妙」being literally “the wonders of that day’s colors”. Though since something is being painted onto the template, it makes more sense if the colors are what’s describing something

Similarly for「伝うは描いた僕らの色彩の調」

「描いた僕ら」= the ones who painted was us/ we, who painted/drew, and「調」= “style”, the colors of which is being attributed to us? SO something like, “Conveys the colors we painted on to describe ourselves”? I think

「寄り添う僕の背を重ねて」

「寄り添う」= cuddle close, so this part translates literally to “lay on the back of me, who is cuddling close (with you)”

which leads into the next time, “you can lower your guard” presumably because Ryuu isn’t going to do anything to make you uncomfortable

Sweetest boi hands down

IMHO this song suits him so much more than Risky na Kanojo

Someone draw a soft Ryuu in the water please

If anyone could spare Ryuu’s bday rabichats, I could add songwriter/composer’s comments!

And as always, please correct me if any translations are wrong!!

5.11.19 - 5.16.19 feat. NEW JOB + BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.11.19

Saturday! Cleaned manong’s car out while the sibs cleaned the house. I drove to Target and we also walked to 5 Below and Marshalls. At Marshalls manang bought an espresso maker!!! It’s so cute, and it was only $8. At Target I bought mom a small eye shadow palette for mother’s day lol (that’s all I could afford). Got some Mcdonalds and went home to play Overcooked 2. Mom was home from hanging out with tita Delai and tita Emy. Also. I found out my wisdom tooth in the back of my right side of my molar is finally popping out of my gum!!!! Bout time but man :P

5.12.19

Happy Mother’s day!!! Woke up and gave mom her gifts. Oh yeah, at Marshalls, manang bought marv lindor chocolate to give to mom lol. At church it was so busy! Decorated (again) the dining hall but at least it was simple. Food was great!!!!! Mark and kuya Sanjay both brought chicken curry! Mark actually brought a lot of food!! SO NICE of him. He brought curry, rice with beans, and plaintains. It was so good!! Dad had work so at home the sibs and mom took pics.

5.13.19

Prepped for interview questions and my clothes for my interview with Delfin at DMC - DRH! So nervous.

5.14.19

Phewwwww ok`so I got up pretty early (ok not really, but like 10 a.m. lol) to review some interview questions and answers. Got ready and then mom, dad and I made our way to Detroit. It was a sunny, beautiful day! Got to DRH and checked in with the front desk. Dad and I waited for about 20 minutes before we got the go to go upstairs. During that time of wait, dad was approached by like 4 co-workers, 1 was Marko who worked on the 5th floor but days, and he gave me some encouragement. Then it was dad’s own coworker, the PCA. And she was like “Ha? She’s having an interview with _______?!” And then before we went to the 5th floor, we stopped by dad’s office and his coworker was there too and she seemed iffy about where/who I was interviewing with and it kinda worried me. Anyway, went upstairs and met with the manager, however I went into the room and sat with the coordinator who interviewed me. She was SO nice. I really like her. I don’t think I nailed the interview, but thankfully the questions she asked were pretty easy, and she was very positive. After my interview with the coordinator, I was then facing the manager who came in the room to ask if I had any questions. After about 20 minutes of talking he then asks me, “I’m going to ask you a hypothetical question. If I were to offer you the job right now, what would you say?” and I said yes. And then he said, “I’m offering you the job.” So HOME GIRL GOT A JOB!!!! After that I took a tour with the coordinator and checked the 3 units within the 5th floor. I DID IT. Friends congratulated me on the Groupme. Was so funny cuz Jod was like “Bebet went from being the poorest in the group to the richest” and all my friends were like “WOW WE KNOW A DOCTOR” “WOW DOCTOR” Got picked up and celebrated at Mcdonalds on Mack. It was so busy. After that, mom, dad and I just went to the downstairs parking so dad could nap before work (yes, dad sacrificed napping to support me for my interview <3333 he walked into the hospital with me and walked me up to the 5th floor too!). Dropped dad off and then mom and I went to get manang. Manong picked up Marv. Before we picked up manang mom and I went to burlington to look at shoes but didn’t get anything. Got manang and once we got home we changed and got ready since Jod was gonna pick us up for taco Tuesday at Maiz!! Si parked at our house and so the 4 of us rode together. Got to Maiz and waited for like 15 minutes for a table, and then Jovel and Nai came. After we were done eating Sam came but we ordered his food so that it was ready when he came. I was pretty disappointed with my food. The shell was SO SOGGY and old tasting. It broke apart :P And the meat was cold! Sigh. Like the shell was even doubled up because it was breaking apart. Anywho after that we went to Cultivate(?) where we played exploding cats. Then manang and I rode with Sam and Si home!

5.15.19

Mom cooked me some spaghetti for tomorrow! :))) Mom had a date with tita rose and others so it was just Marv and I at home. I cleaned before marv got home. Cooked egg for the sibs and I and then watched som one punch. Then I went to the garage to get started on the trash. Once manong and manang came home the four of us in good moods worked together to get the wooden pallets, couch, stove and trash out to the curb. After that we played Overcooked 2. BUT OMG. So like, at 2 am today before I hit the hay, I went on FB and saw a flyer that St Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor was having a nurse job fair!!! I signed up and told Danielle. She’ll most likely ride with me!! Sigh.... Kinda wished I didn’t say yes immediately. And I kinda wished I was ready for an interview with Beaumont. Sigh. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be tho.

5.16.19

Happy birthday to me!!!!!! Thank you Lord!!!! Literally woke up and cried. God is so good. All the time. So thankful for another year. Woke up and went downstairs and found a bouquet of beautiful carnations and a card from dad (I was still up last night and he didn’t get home until 5 just to get these for me! :’D). Had breakfast with mom and dad and then just chilled for the day! Then it was time for prayer meeting. Picked up Marv then went to 7-11. Got some donuts and iced coffee. Then we got manang and then went to burlington near church. Got to church early and just walked around the parking lot. It was such a beautiful day!! After prayer meeting we went to Meijer in Woodhaven to get rice. At home I ate spaghetti! And then manang gave me her gift which was a cute milk carton purse!! Oh and $10 cash!!! I was sooooo surprised when I saw the purse. It was SO cute!! <3 Also going to Ann Arbor tomorrow! Picking up Danielle thanks to manong :)

5.17.19

Woke up so early today! Woke up at 8:30 and got ready. Manong and I left at like 9:30ish or so to get Danielle. On the way to Danielle’s there was a pretty crazy driver on King road right before the brownstown police station. Anyway, got to Danielle’s, picked her up, then got breakfast at Mcdonalds (thanks manong! <3). Then we made our way to Ann Arbor. Found a parking space and practice some questions and such then walked in. It was busy but man everyone was SO NICE. Danielle and I met with the manager of the Medsurg (gen surgery) floor and the neuro floor. They were really nice. Then we talked with the manager for the ER. After that we took a tour with Dan and HE WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. He was so inspiring to me. Like, he had no hospital experience, working as a full time mail man during school. He became a nurse and then after a year he went to grad school and became a CNS! He’s been at SJMH for 10 years already!!! He was really super nice. He even says, “I hope you get a job here! I teach in the orientation as well” and I’m like THAT WOULD BE A DREAM. The hospital was absolutely beautiful. Probably the best hospital I’ve ever been to. They even have a nail/hair spa!!!!!! And it smelled SO CLEAN. It would be amazing if I could get a job there after DRH! Anywho, the only sad part was that the medsurg floor wasn’t doing on the spot job offers or interviews :( When I heard that I felt that God validated me going to DRH. I prayed that Lord, my siblings plan to move to Washtenaw. If I get this job I would be so close to them. If it is your will I be at SJMH, Lord please provide me a job on the spot. If not, then I’ll stay at DRH. So there you go! There’s God’s answer. Although the manager said that if I were to hear anything, it would be on the following Friday, however I didn’t get any call back. Anywho, after we got back to the main area from the tour, Danielle went ahead to talk to the CCU presentation. I sat in the food area and had a cup of coffee. Talked to 2 ladies that were waiting in the medsurg line and they were so nice. Then I went outside and called PJ and just talked about my whole dealio. After danielle was done, manong came and picked us up. He was just waiting next door at WCC. Got lunch at KFC and ate inside. I was starting to get cramps sadly! After dropping off danielle, manong and I went to Advance Auto Parts in brownstown, then home. At home I just rested in my room having taken 3 ibuprofens for my cramps (I really need to take something else now). Then I got ready for dinner cuz the whole fam was going out for my bday! Picked up Ne on the way. Thought we were going to Leo’s but I looked up and we were at OLIVE GARDEN!!!!!! I was so surprised. Had a great dinner. Ordered my fave chicken alfredo. After OG we went to Target then Ne’s place! Drank some tea and chilled then went home.

Busy day today! Cleaned the house and got it ready for when the friends came over! Manang and mom went to Kroger to get food so Marv and I finished up. Manang washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen while I vacuumed and cleaned bathrooms and made sure the house smelled good. Oh and Marv put the plants frmo the loft outside on the porch (about time those plants were gone!). First friend to come was Jod, then Josh and Joseph, then Bubby and then jovel, PJ and then daen. Played overcooked (jod loves it!) and then took pics with my star donut cake lol. Then Hannah and cam came!!!!!. We were laughing so hard the whole day!!! Hannah talked about her crazy experience with cult customers at timmy hoes and that was the ongoing joke of the night. Played Wario Ware and then Jackbox! It was so funny. Check out my album on Google photos to see some of the jokes lol. Dad was so funny too when we told him about the cult.When he came out of his room he was like “I took my naked picture to give to the cult” xD LOL my friends were laughing so hard. Cooked shin ramyun and boiled eggs and ate that. Had a lot of food today (qdoba chips and dip from jod, pizza from pj, egg tart and vanilla ice cream from josh, orange creamsicles from jovel, donuts from hannah, candy from daen). Overall it was a really fun and funny night. Also hannah gave me a gift of $45!!! I was so surprised. So thoughtful and nice of her!!!! :’)

Today was a pretty chill day. Later in the day I went to the gym with manong. PJ came too. Manong and I worked out from 9:40 to 1 a.m.! GSW also played and won. Worked out so long. I drove to the gym and home. After the gym I drove to Meijer and manong bought me lunchables cuz I was so hungry lol.

5.21.19

Officially signed and sent my acceptance for the DRH job position!!! It’s official!! After that dad and I did yard work in the back. After that we had dinner with the fam and then I worked on making thank you cards for my manager and coordinator at DRH. Watched some bball!

T/N: The true angel people: Rokuya Nagi no question. This is such a soft song??? I need that instrumental ngl

There’s a ton of english but it’s background english so all is forgiven

I’m still eternally hard of hearing and Eguchi-san’s exaggerated accent for Nagi prob doesn’t help, but I think this is as accurate as I can go?

Honestly I’m so glad that Nagi and Mikki more or less both have straight-forward songs that I can easily translate

Tho ofc the real problem is knowing when one stanza starts and another ends otl

「–ますように」is a stock phrase for making wishes, usually at Tanabata I think?

E.g. 「試験でいい成績を取りますように」ergo, “I wish/hope to receive good grades on my test.”

If there’s any mistakes pls msg me!!!

Also if anyone has Nagi’s bday rabichas and are willing to share the lyricist’s/composer’s comments, lmk!
