Weekly seasonal anime thoughts

Yuru Camp S3E06: Nadeshiko, Rin and Ayano’s camping trip came to an end. I’m feeling sad because the 3 of them have such a fun and interesting group dynamic! But like Nadeshiko says: she’ll have the memories of the trip and they’ll be able to go on another one soon.

I learned a lot about suspension bridges and dams from their trip haha. It’s what I love about Yuru Camp! It feels like I was on the trip with the characters too.

Hibike! Euphonium S3E05: As Kumiko and friends face the uncertainty of their futures, we’re slowly seeing little cracks in Kumiko as she feels threatened by Mayu despite believing that the best should play at Nationals. That’s why her interactions with Reina feels very prominent

It’s nice to see that Kumiko isn’t the only one feeling anxious about the future. Even though Reina has her goals, she’s still afraid that she and Kumiko won’t be as close in the future. It’s great to see how far she’s come with expressing her emotions.

Dungeon Meshi Ep19: Izutsumi’s addition to the party is a good way to shake things up as we approach the next arc. Already loving her interactions with Senshi! Marcille’s nightmares about her friends all dying before her broke my heart. The horror elements were so good though!

The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio Ep5: the girls deal with the fallout of Watanabe’s incident and things are looking hopeful! While Yubisaki makes a good point about the illusions of idol seiyuu personalities being exposed, I think it’s still difficult to be your authentic self in the industry.

Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night Ep6: Aww, this was such a wonderful episode to celebrate Mother’s Day! I love episodes like these bc we get to see our main characters take a breather from the main plot while exploring interesting characters and relationships dynamics!

It definitely feels like this ep is setting up Kano’s eventually confrontation with her mom too so that’s something to keep in mind. This show has been absolutely enchanting so far!

Whisper Me a Love Song Ep5: this ep really showed off the strengths of the series’ writing in many ways! Himari’s conversation with Momoka is one of my fave scenes! Himari currently associates “love” with kissing/hugging but she hasn’t thought about doing these things with Yori yet.

I loved how Momoka explained to her that everyone has their own definition of love and Himari’s criteria doesn’t need to be the same as everyone else. Love could be simply wanting to cook for someone. I’m happy for this portrayal of Himari as demisexual.

I also appreciate how the characters reflect on their actions. Like with Aki. She realized that her words hurt Himari and she apologized for it. Yori and Himari also had an honest convo about their feelings which was really nice to see!

I'm surprised people see Tadashi as the victim in his relationship with Ainosuke, when it's Tadashi the one who time and time again takes away Ainosuke's agency, without being able to see that he is throwing him unto unhappiness. I can't help but think that if Tadashi was not working at Shindo's house, Ainosuke would have maybe left or broke with the family. But he can't do that if he wants the relationship with Tadashi going on, seing how Tadashi is set on enforcing the family rules...

Hmm.. I def agree with the fact that Tadashi is not what most fandom makes out of him, my man (I mean, Adam’s man) is a 100% Slytherin. But I disagree with blaming him for this, after all the revealed info. The environment they were both raised in made their situation complicated.

I like Tadashi a lot, he’s probably my fav thing about this anime, bc he’s a dark horse, and I’m once again surprised, that so little ppl see him for who he really is, portraying him as an innocent puppy, which he is definitely not.

Now to why I think both Tadashi and Adam are victims of the dad and aunties in this situation. 

We can of course say “if only they told each other how they really feel...”, but like we can say it about any love story really. Every author knows it’s no fun. The truth is that yes, they both hurt each other, and yes, if they were honest about their feelings things would’ve been different, but as I’ve already wrote under that “toxic” commentary on YT, lets look at the whole situation from both of their point of views:

We know that Adam when he was little always treated Tadashi as an equal, he never ever thought of him as someone lower than him and after their fall out, the only reason for this “harsh” treatment (well, besides their confirmed kink) was that Adam tried to get a reaction out of him, so Tadashi would stand up for himself, bc Ainosuke got mad about Tadashi caving to his dad’s wishes and abandoning him, when he needed him the most. 

But now, knowing the fact that Tadashi was his dad’s secretary and was under his control, let’s see it from his perspective: Tadashi wanted to stay by Adam’s side, Adam’s dad implied that if Tadashi did say smth, he’s gonna be.. well, dismissed and they won’t see each other ever again. That’s what caused Tadashi to stay silent in that moment. Ainosuke instead saw this as a “he’s not on my side” thing, well, because. Tadashi won’t tell him his problem, bc dad and aunties control everything, so even if he does tell him, what a teen would do really? He didn’t have any powers back then to make his dad do anything. 

And that’s when it all gone to shit, since they both were hurt for their own reasons. It’s easy to say leave the family, but 1stly nobody explained to Adam still that he’s physically and psychologically abused by his family, he sees it as them “loving him” and sadly also loves them, bc nobody told him, that love wasn’t supposed to be like that really. He definitely feels that smth is not right and feels emotionally exhausted there bc of this treatment, but did he ever consider leaving? I really don’t think so. He feels obligated to be worthy of a family, who “loves” him.

Do you think, for example, that Akashi Seijuro hates his dad for what he did to him? No. Does he understand that he wasn’t at fault for what happened to him and that his dad instead of comforting his child after his mother’s death, who was his only safe haven, made everything worse? I don’t think he does. Like his mom gave him basketball, an escape from all that family’s obligations and strictness. After her death, it was the only thing left that brought him joy, but his dad ruined even that, saying that if he’s gonna be bad at it/lose, he’d take it away from him too. Does Akashi see this as emotional abuse? No, he sees it like “well, I have to be the best bc I was born in such powerful family, so if my dad says that I must be best at everything, then I must.”

I personally hate such parents a lot. To me it doesn’t matter if Adam’s dad didn’t know about aunties hitting his child. Like if he was too busy to notice this and have no time for his kid and made his childhood miserable, it doesn’t make it any better really. 

Same as with Akashi’s dad. Some are like “he was probably also grieving about his wife”. Emm? He was like this from the beginning, bc he treated Akashi not as his son, but as his heir. And yes, that’s different things. Same with Endeavor and Todoroki. Your child is not your post production thing.

2ndly they were too young, even if they knew about each others feelings and he didn’t feel obligated and told everyone to fuck off, they’d be on the streets now, but also Adam’s dad doesn’t seem like a guy who’d leave them alone really. Also eloping seems very romantic, but I don’t think it is, esp when you’re teens. Did you want him to sell some expensive watch and go live on Hawaii or smth? Bc finding a decent job there would be difficult at this age, esp with everyone knowing who your dad is. Chen Ke from “Antidote” survived bc he was 27 and had connections and some great friends. Adam was in high school, where would he go exactly?

Now let’s go back to now. Obviously all this time it didn’t even cross Tadashi’s mind that for Ainosuke he comes first and that he would throw everyone under the bus to make Tadashi stay with him. As we see at the end, he legit believed that Adam was planning to send him to jail and didn’t get that he said it just to shaken he up and that he knew who he’d set up for this from the beginning. 

To Adam obviously it doesn’t matter whether they’re in a quarrel or not, he would never him go. Yes, he’s mad at him, he’s angry and hurt, but Tadashi’s still the person he needs the most, he’s still the person who brightens his days, even tho he deliberately behaves like he annoys him. He always looks at him and looks at him and looks at him, but then hisses smth to hurt him. Bc he knows that he needs him, but he also hates that he needs him, bc he thinks it’s unrequited.

And that’s how their classic romance goes in hellish circles. No one wants to talk as usual. Adam is mad Tadashi is like that bc his dad turned him into a slave with no opinion, while Tadashi is scared that Adam would be taken away from him bc of his ugly family. 

Now I still think that no one and I mean no one can take Tadashi from Adam now, he is his precious. So my plan is... if Tadashi made aunties do smth against him or to get rid of him, aunties will go for sure. The problem is Tadashi still doesn’t get that he comes first, so we’re stuck in this hell still.

So anyways, my point is Adam’s heart basically sings “you got a hold of me, don’t even know your power” to Tadashi, but he doesn’t hear it, bc of his insecurities, the way he was raised and his status. But yes, he holds all the power. He’s both Adam’s sanity and insanity. No matter how cheesy it sounds he was basically his only ray of sunshine in the darkness, if you take it away, that’s what it leads to, that’s why Ainosuke-sama needs more ppl who care for him. I don’t want anyone to die next time, just cause Tadashi and Adam fought about where to put their new couch lmao. I’m kidding, but you know what I mean. And kill the aunties, pls seriously, we need to be free.

Also ppl need to remember that like lots of animes/characters are parcially inspired by some other animes/characters, also the chosen seiyuus are also very important, there are lots of stuff like jokes and references, that creators use, from characters being fully inspired by smth like “Assassination classroom” characters based on KNB, to little stuff like Levi dressed in Akashi’s uniform in chibi AOT bc Hiroshi Kamiya. Utsumi already said before stuff like she sometimes think of a perfect voice for the character and then fully forms him, we also know her clear love for sports animes. So yes, I doubt Tadashi/Kuroko thing is a coincidence and even tho someone was like “zone? is this knb or smth?” I was like no, zone is actually a common thing in sports, even tho most associate it with KNB including me, it’s not like its their invention, but there were things inspired by this for sure, and from other sports animes too and no, I don’t mean the basic sports anime tropes, I mean, like way too specific things, some character designes, too. And yes, Langa appearence and personality wise is a rinharu child for real, I can literally split his scenes in “that’s Haru”, “that’s Rin”.

That’s why I’ve said that this situation in fandom reminds me of Kuroko/Akashi situation a lot, bc same as here in KNB ppl for some reason automatically thought that Kuroko is this innocent sheep and Akashi is the wolf (but also like it was Akashi who chose to dress as red riding hood, while Kuroko was a wolf lmao), not even seeing who is in reality more dangerous and who can easily control who. It just buffles me bc it’s not some deep analisys really. I mean once again there’s a reason for the saying that the sub holds all the power over the dom. 

And like just bc someone yells or threatens ppl constantly doesn’t necessarily mean he is a psycopatic killer, and just bc someone is quiet and doe-eyed, doesn’t mean he isn’t. I didn’t think we needed to explain this to someone, but aparently we do?

And it honestly kills me just how superficially ppl are watching things these days. It really gives me war flashbacks to stuff like the last mdzs s1 episode, where ppl started to comment things like “how LZ can be so heartless” lmao. Or that anonymous ask “do you think haru misses rin?”. Like you don’t see thing at all? Grey substance no needed, while watching things?

P.S. I also would die to see Adam vs Tadashi race just bc I for some reason can bet all my money, that it’s the same situation as with Akashi refusing to ankle break Kuroko, no matter how mad he is. I just can’t imagine Ainosuke hitting Tadashi in the face with a board. Like 100% sure he wouldn’t even try tbh.

Jakou no Lyla - Trap of musk: European night

Come, look at me. In return, I'll show you the most wonderful dream.

Well, I'm supposed to study for an exam, I thought I'll only procrastinate & play for a litttle bit, but... Welcome to the newest hell I'm currently stuck in - Jakou no Lyla (人´ω｀*)♡

It is originally a 3 part PC otome game but has been ported to the Switch. This game is one out of 3 games from triAngle project, so... there is a Spy Ending where MC will be with both guys ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Longer details under cut. 

Part 1 European Night - Vince Lugan (seiyuu Taniyama Kishou, e.g. Amnesia Memories Ikki) on the left hand side of the above photo - Rolan Crydelle (seiyuu Tachibana Shinnosuke e.g. MidCin Louis) on the right hand side of the above photo, my 2nd fav

Part 2 Asian Night - Korei Rin (seiyuu Okitsu Kazuyuki, e.g. Brothers Conflict Masaomi) the white hair guy sniffing MC's shoulder in 1st photo, my fav :3 - Kirei Rin (seiyuu Sato Takuya) the black hair guy at top right corner in the 1st photo

Part 3 Arabian Night - Lizaru Shanasa (seiyuu Morikawa Toshiyuki, e.g. DL Carla) the tan-skin guy with a whip in 1st photo - Jemiru (seiyuu Murase Ayumu) the guy with upside-down net bra(?lol) over his eyes in 1st photo 

The popular ranking (voted in Oct 2019) result is Lizaru (1), Jemiru (2), Kirei (3), Korei (4), Vince (5), Rolan (6). 

Vince: ... I want you

MC uses her special tattoo to seduce Vince, it is working... kinda. But Vince is a tough cookie, he realizes something isn't right with himself, grasps his short sword and squeezes his right hand on the sharp blade in front of the  speechless MC. He wants the pain to pull him away from the desire for MC.

V: Come in... Hey, turn this way. Look at me, Y...

During the Conference break, V saw MC talking with Rolan on the way to the market. He got very grumpy aweee. At the market, R fell down, MC helped R get up and her clothes got muddy too. When she returns to the palace, grumpy Vince saw her muddy clothes and told her to take a bath with him. He tried to kiss her but she pushed him away, poor V :’(

Y: Rolan-sama, please sto..

The special tattoo doesn't last long so the salon master comes to the palace to help her refresh. I thought she only has one on her chest, but apparently there is one on her back too :/ She has to keep it uncovered for 2 hours to dry. R came by and accidentally was affected by the tattoo. He started touching and kissing her back. She knows she has to push him away but she doesn't want to because she already knows abt his tragic past. She’s afraid pushing him will hurt his feeling (I'll explain his past in his route summary). She tried very hard to grab the veil, cover her tattoo and R turned back to normal, frantically apologized to her. 

R: You don't need to think about anything. Surrender everything to me...

MC (name is Shirien) is a dancer at show salon Kamal. Her parents were killed, the village was destroyed. The salon master took care of her and her best friend Aisha so she wants to do everything to repay him. The master also helped another kid (who arrived heavily injured) named Jermiru and asked MC to look after J as his older sister. MC and J works as secret spies for the master. MC has a special henna tattoo (made from teromeana mixed with medicine herbs) that can seduce men to the point they lose all reasoning. Then she uses a sleeping needle on them to make them sleep & dream that they are ichaicha-ing with her but in reality, she tries to find materials/info in their rooms for her spy mission. In addition, she collects blood of young healthy ‘excited' men to help research a cure for the salon master's sickness. The master also prohibits her to kiss the men targets because it can sway her heart (hence she pushed Vince away in the bath when he tried to kiss her). 

In part 1 European night, her clients are Theo (Vince's best friend) and Rolan Crydelle. Her mission is to seduce Vince to find out the whereabout of Pamela - Rolan’s younger sister - who they think was kidnapped by Vince when V destroyed the Crydelle kingdom. Theo will pretend to lose the drinking game and gives MC to V as a winning trophy.

V is a tough cookie to crack though, he pays 100% attention on his country/work, doesn't want to waste any time with women. In his country Lugan, women are not allowed to speak unless they are given permission. This is because in their history, a king lost part of the territory bc he spent too much time on women. That territory becomes the Crydelle kingdom. In contrast, Crydelle is led/dominated by women, while men only stays inside the house and cannot go out unless given permission by women. Rolan is a shy and naive because he is indoors all his life, he cares deeply about his younger sister Pamela, he carries a doll that looks exactly like her.

I only know a little bit about V from the common route and his appearance in Rolan's route, but he isn't as cruel as the rumour says. The more time MC spends with him for her spy mission, she realizes he (and his touch on her) are gentle and kind. Everything he does is for the benefit of his country. He did destroy the Crydelle kingdom, killed the royal family (except Rolan who was living in a secret room) so other princes at the Conference sneer at Vince during the policy discussion. Personally, I think the choices Vince suggests are actually effective and to the point, not wasting time trying to be merciful. In Rolan's good end, he even helps Rolan save MC. He gives me the IkeSen Nobunaga and MLQC Victor's vibes. 

The last Rolan photo above the cut is after the confrontation with Eleanor (who looks exactly like his sister Pamela but said she is not Pamela), R is very sad and ran to the old harem area to be alone. MC chased after him and tried to comfort him. He hugged her and started kissing near her chest, offered to make her feel good and begged her to not leave him (poor bb ;u;) MC stopped him, tried to calm him down asking him to tell her everything. In short, due to his past, R always wants to keep people happy, he thinks pleasing people is the only thing he can do to make his life has some values, the only way to keep people staying with him. MC told him none of these are true. Even after hearing his past, MC didn't look down on/feel disgusted abt him, and told him from now on, he will learn many other ways to make people happy. This makes him very happy, he asked to hug her for a bit longer ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇ‸இﾟ)ﾟ｡

---

Tbh, when I first looked at the suitors, I thought I'd go with Vince, but oughhh Rolan stole my heart during the common route. I guess not likely many people will like Rolan (he actually ranks 6th out of 6 suitors, my poor bb ;u;). It’s okay, I luv Rolan. I love his character growth throughout the route, desperately trying to grow stronger to protect MC. And his yandere doll-carrying creepy vibe. His 2nd bad end broke my heart badly ~ like CxM Shiraishi's bad end 4 level of heartbreak（ｉДｉ）I will write his route summary after I (hopefully) pass my exam.

I enjoy this game much more than I expected: kisses sound yayyy (not DL’s level of kissing & blood sucking but enough to burn my ears huehue), nice arts and BGM (melancholy music to stab on my heart even more while reading bad ends, nice!). I prefer the bad ends, they are more haunting and memorable to me; good ends everything get solved quite easily, but overall the story is fine so far. I get completely sucked into this game and finished all 6 ends for Rolan and Korei in 4 days (what is sleep, what is exam :3) Normally I only play the routes of the guys I’m interested in then move on to next game, unless I want to collect PS Vita trophies and autoplay. But I have high hope that since this game can surprisingly change my favourite from Rolan to Korei (still very close, I luv both of them lotsss) from the route story, I should read everybody’s routes properly and see who my favourite are in the end. My 2020 otome game year is off to a wonderful start already ahhh~ (*´╰╯`๓)♬

The Reasons why I ship 金剣

Ahem.. welp it’s been almost 2 years that I’ve been obsessed over this pairing... and that’s the main reason why I want to contribute anything that makes this ship still working lmao. 

[Some of you may know that I recently made a lot of Gil x Saber fanarts, I also write a fanfic about them (It’s NSFW anyway, if you ever stumbled upon it, please don’t kink-shaming me, okay ;) and I have no idea how to continue it)..] 

Anyway I want to make a honest opinion about how I feel, since I don’t have any friends that into this ship but I guess there’s a lot of fellas out there that loved this pairing too :” #sadlife

I know there’s A LOT of people that against this ship, and said that this ship is unhealthy (apparently yes bcs in F/SN main routes Gil is a colossal dick corrupted by grail but...) let’s see on the other side...

Tbvh, I used to ship Saber with Shirou when I watched F/SN by studio DEEN back then (when I was in elementary school) but now I’m currently an University student that already mature enough so my taste and the way I think may altered. Without further ado, here’s my opinions:

 They look good together:  

Both of them are blonde -> (actually that’s my main reason why I liked them bcs I tend to like blonde characters regardless their gender).

Height Difference : Their height difference is about 28 cm (Gil=182 cm, Arturia=154cm). You know that every tall guys need a short girl (and vice versa) lmao.

Gilgamesh is portrayed as a handsome pretty boy (especially when his hair down) compared to Shiro (just a plain highschooler boy). All of us know that Arturia is a beautiful girl so, shipping her with Gil would make a picture perfect couple lmao.

      2.  Gilgamesh is faithful and Shiro is a two timer

In the VN, Shiro has different love interest due to different routes. In FSN he may loved saber but in UBW he loves Rin, and in HF he loved Sakura. Knowing this facts, I rather consider Shiro and Saber’s relationship just a master-servant in professional way.  He doesn’t deserve her! lol.

At the other side, Gilgamesh the prideful arrogant bastard ,King of Heroes is faithful for keeping his promise that he waited for her for almost 10 years and still has desire towards her.

      3.   Foe-Yay:

 We already know that both of them are destined to against each other as enemies at the end of F/Z episode where both of them fighting to death to obtain the grail, there’s a scene where he stabbed her leg with his sword and  propose her. It’s kinda messed up and awful in real life..but at the other side I started to think “shipping them maybe interesting” then, i checked out some fanarts and eventually stumbled into their r-18 doujinshi yum.😳

     4.  A lot of materials and Ideas

(source: pixiv)

Well, there’s a TON of fan materials that involving this ship and it’s quite varied from love-hate relationships, tsundere-tsundere, foe-yay, r-18, etc. It’s depends on the situation. Infacts this pair is one of the most popular ship within fate franchise and a lot of Japanese ppl seem to liked this pairing too.

5. Their Voice Actor & Actress often playing couple roles

(source:tumblr)

Also, Saber’s VA (Ayako Kawasumi) has a major crush on Gilgamesh and choose his seiyuu (Tomokazu Seki) as a partner that she liked to collaborated with.

Bonus:

(Recently i found there’s a Japanese cosplayers of Gil & Saber that married each other and cosplaying at their wedding reception).

(source: twitter)

at comiket 86 there’s TYPE MOON booth named :

Eden on earth

starred by Arturia in Avalon & Gil in Babylon.

Also, take a look at this magazine! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

(source : Google)

that means even TM & Ufotable themself lowkey makes this ship canon lol.

Yup these are my main reasons, it may not covering the whole thing but I just want to write something like this, I’m okay if you don’t agree with my opinions, well every person have their own opinion and their preferable ships, we should respect every opinions and once again please forgive me if my English skill is not good enough, i’m not a native speaker and I’m still learning.

Thanks for reading this. lol 😁

30 utapri questions!

@dekiaibadchoices​ tagged me forever ago and i only noticed a week ago that there was a blank version linked in gmdsjdksjds

30 utapri questions! Tag yo friends

1. Your best boy? this one!

2. Your least favorite boy? i don’t dislike any of them?? oh wait I guess heavens counts nowadays huh. Eiichi. Not sorry. Miss me with him. I’ll take Nagi over him and I don’t even like Nagi either but at least he realizes his mistake sooner and tries to fix it instead of having to get shoved at and told that he’s a manipulative prick.

3. A character that you never thought you would love as much as you do now? hmmm... all of the 11? Maybe Reiji, but that’s like mostly attributed to @dekiaibadchoices​! I love seeing how happy he makes her. :D 

4. A character you can relate to in any way? goSH. I’m actually.. .not sure... I mean I do relate to otoya and how much he loves fun and brightening up people’s days, but i’m not nearly as... good at it? as on top of it?

5. A character that you think deserves more love? Is Natsuki or Syo popular by themselves or only in a pair? Because, individually, they both do. And Yamato and Van are a lot better in mlk, but i don’t know if there’s any material between s4 and mlk, because i would LOVE to see yamato’s character arc/progression from his “tch” to “AND YOU’RE AWESOME, AND YOU! AND YOU!” like he’s frickin’ oprah

6. A character you would want as your partner/lover? ehhhhhh none of them really? like maybe a few it’d be interesting but mostly i’m just like, nah. they’re fine on their own/with others.

7. A character you would want as your mentor/senpai? oh!! um. .... I don’t know. D: Maybe Natsuki? I feel like he would be very good about being nurturing and helping build confidence in people who feel unconfident or don’t like themselves...

8. Your favorite ship? haruka x tomo? none tbh it’s just my “if i had to pick a ship”

9. A character that you want to cosplay/have already cosplayed? my son!!!! and maybe if we ever saw more of tomochika, her. and a friend wants to cosplay syo and she’s small enough that i could easily be natsuki tol to her smol at only 5′6. xD

10. Favorite side character? TOMOCHIKA AND RINGO

okay the next few are about songs and i haven’t looked up the lyrics for most of these so i’m mostly going based off what i know/recall of them from the mobile game...

12. Your favorite duet song? QUITE A FEW BUT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BABY!! MY STRAWBERRY!! AND HYPERXSUPERXLOVER!!

13. Your favorite trio song?

14. Your favorite group song?

god all of the movie songs were good but i think QN killed it with The World Is Mine because GOD THAT WAS SO AMAZING IN THE MOVIE, but then again, Fantasic Prelude brought in all the tears. Every time that slow build.... and I’m not a crier and laughed at all the other girls in the audience that did. BUT NOW I’M THE ONE THAT’S CRYING AND GETTING EMOTIONAL.

15. Your least favorite song? ugh... the first heaven’s song? esp when they were three but even after 7 it just. sounds bland. but i’m supposed to believe that it’s THIS EPIC THRILLING HIT??? like kids sit down and listen to QN’s two songs from the movies then come back and tell me what a thrilling epic song in your repertoire looks like.

i just don’t really like most of heavens and i’m also really mad that their two songs in the movie were so damnably catchy. fuck them.

16. Your favorite singer?

NATSUKI. his [satsuki?] songs are so. heavy. oh my god. tokiya is a close second though because wow beautiful voice.

17. Your favorite group/trio/duo?

20. Your favorite member of Heavens?

uhhhh van. him and eiji are the only ones that didn’t make me go ugh at upon their episode/interactions at any point in time, and eiji is sure, pure bean too good for this world in a way different than otoya but he’s just not the kind that appeals to me meanwhile van is a fun flirt---HEY GOME I FOUND YOU AN IDOL VERSION OF YOUR CURRENT FLAME. ha ha jk gome would never read this-- but also really sweet and fun. and then yamato i didn’t like at all but his movie? personality? upgrade?? Really fun. Love it. Would have loved him more from the start if they showed this evolution in the season.

I mean I wouldn’t mind the rest of otoya’s plushes but i’m also not gonna.... repeatedly check ebay for ‘em.  maybe for the full size bag of the little one that I got?? 

28. How did you get into Utapri? klab advertized shining live in llsif as a text notice or something? or maybe just on the en twitter??? anyways my friends and I looked, I was the only one who could get it to play on their phone, and i KNEW otoya would instantly become my fave bc he sounded so much like my best girl rin, and WOW. GUESS WHAT. I WAS RIGHT!!!! who knew.

29. A set theme in shining live that you want to see in the future? fuck i forgot it but there WAS a set that’s in llsif that’s not in sl that i was like “this would be so great to see one for the utapri boys”

30. Why do you love your best boy?

*cracks knuckles* OKAY EVERYONE GET READY I CAN ACTUALLY WORDS WHEN IT COMES TO MY KIDS OKAY

so. first off, rin is my best llsif girl and they run a LOT of similarities in character profile alone. they’re both happy people who have a lot of energy and smile a lot and are always beaming happiness and I just REALLY love the sunshine kid trope okay?

now, for otoya specifically, i LOVE that it’s totally canon that his smile is like sunlight on a cloudy day, that he’s just this. super sweet and earnest, endearing kid who will help people when he can, however he can, if they ask or don’t that doesn’t really matter, so long as he is allowed to help then he’s gonna do his best at helping!!! He works REALLY HARD!! he cares people. a lot. so much. big heart!!!! biggest heart in all of starish if i do say so myself. maybe in all of utapri boys. he’s just so. caring!!! and good!! I DARE you to find and tell me something bad about my son. I DARE YOU. it’ll be a waste of time because you WON’T find anything. 

and oh my gosh his reactions in the anime are a GOLDMINE, TREASURE TROVE of reaction images. i can have a whole ass platter of every emotion under the son and i hate that sometimes thanks eiichi. he’s just. so funny sometimes and it’s adorable and precious and he’s just so pure and good and sweet and kind and caring...!

he also!! back to the working hard thing!! He works hard bc he came from humble roots. I don’t know much about the VNs so all of my knowledge is from the anime and shining live, but like, orphan?? who works hard to learn how to write songs and play the guitar? and then still comes back to the orphanage he grew up at to volunteer and help there after he debuts??? like. i love this boy. he is so sweet and willing to give back and HE IS SO PRECIOUS?????? im. good kid. 

and!!! i hate bringing up this shithole writing of an episode. it can use SO MANY IMPROVEMENTS but so can all of s4 in geneneral hahahahahah BUT ANYWAYS!

he re-experiences trauma that he had amnesia of? no thanks to some certain megane asshole. and, through poorly structured writing, he learns to move on from his pain and learns how to smile again? Like. baby. sweetie. precious son. you did not deserve that, it was a horrible Break the Cutie moment that did NOT need to happen like that, and you deserved better resolution than what you got. 

but the point of it is! he learns how to smile again through his pain. that doesn’t quite make it sound right in the way that is inspiring, but like. he... has his own battle with depression and grief and pain and loss of innocence/childhood, and he still manages to retain a childish manner and happiness and spark, and smiles through that, and he smiles because he wants others to be happy and not suffer the same pain.

Jakou no Lyla - Trap of Musk: Asian night

Jakou no Lyla - Trap of Musk: Part 2 Asian Night - Korei Rin (seiyuu Okitsu Kazuyuki, e.g. Brothers Conflict Masaomi) the white hair guy. My favourite atm!（人´∀`*） - Kirei Rin (seiyuu Sato Takuya) the black hair guy

Korei: ...I am Korei, Rin Korei. White Lady (Hakujoushi) ... I have wanted to meet you so much ... finally I can meet you. 

Korei really likes (well, obsessed abt) the Legend of White Snake - a Chinese legend abt the love of a human man and white snake spirit lady (you can read abt the legend on wiki), to the point that he refuses real life women because his heart already has the White Lady. Korei (older) and Kirei (younger) are brothers with different mothers. They visited Shanasa kingdom to attend the Princes Conference. They were walking around the market when Korei spotted MC - who is exactly how he imagined the White Lady to be. 

Y: Crown Prince Kirei? Hey, please let me hear your voice more? Your voice calling my name...

Korei kept thinking abt MC as the real life White Lady and couldn't focus at all. Kirei was worried abt his brother’s state, and he was a bit interested in MC himself so he offered to go look for her. He found the show salon Kamal and was in awe of her dance performance. The Salon master invited Kirei to talk and suggested Kirei to hire MC on a mission: MC will act like the White Lady during the 9 day period of the Princes Conference to seduce Korei to love her enough and forget about ImaginaryWhiteLady; then on the last day, MC will refuse Korei, shattering his illusion abt the White Lady completely. Kirei is a play boy, he asked MC to try seduce him first: he bites on his fan, if MC can make him drop the fan, he will hire her. MC used her special tattoo, kissing his ear neck chest etc, eventually Kirei opened his mouth and tried to kiss her. She was abt to use her sleeping needle on him but luckily Salon Master came back into the room to tell Kirei it's time to talk abt the mission payment $$$ 

Korei: Ahhh... so sweet, the peach juice dripping down to your throat. Ahhhh.... more is steadily falling down.... So ripe and sweet ...Nnnnn.... Ahhh, White lady.... the peach juice on your white skin ... Nnnn... it's as if I'm eating peach. White Lady... please look at the peach stone, you have eaten it completely (so clean that there is only stone left). Fufu, how did it taste? There are still many peaches here ... do you want to eat another one? 

Y (This person... gets ‘excited' by feeding me peaches.. !?)

MC tries to seduce Korei but every single time he politely steps back, e.g. she offered to sleep in his room (not really though, she planned to use sleeping needle on him so he’ll dream abt ‘sleeping’ with her) he gave her his room to sleep and slept in Kirei's room's sofa instead. She offered to take a bath together, he refused, she really insisted, he said fine but please keep thin bathing clothes on. He held her hand, looked at her with gentle eyes, praised her, cared for every teeny tiny details abt her, said he loves her a lot. MC is confused with these mixing signals (me too, though unlike MC, I'm too thirsty for PureKorei ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)), and asked him why, Korei said bc I love you, I want to treasure you. This moved her, bc during her missions, men jump at the chances to sleep with her/see her neked, but Korei is different from them.

Only this one time, Korei let her sit on a chair, tied her hands with soft cloth (very lightly, doesn't hurt at all, MC thought “By any chance he likes tying? :3) then... fed her a peach. The peach is large and juicy, when MC bite into it, the peach juice dripping down from her lip to her throat .... and Korei licked them all :3 Ohoho my ears were blessed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Kirei: Ko-nii (Korei older brother), you are an Otaku. Oh, “Otaku” is from an island country’s language. It refers to people who are crazy about people that don't exist.

I seriously feel so attacked with this sentence lmao.

The girl in the middle is Miran. The Empress (Korei's mother) chose her to be Korei's wife but he kept refusing her because he already has his White Snake Lady, hence Kirei told Korei this. 

Y: ... Crown Prince Korei will definitely become a wonderful Emperor. 

Kirei: Y... Hey, I want to be seduced by you ... Because very soon, I won't be able to meet you again.... Y... Is it ok? 

It's nearly the last day of the Princes Conference but Korei still hasn't really fallen for MC yet, so she visited Kirei's room to discuss how to proceed. Poor Kirei, he likes MC and has to look at her trying to seduce his older brother all these time. I was aiming for Korei's route so I selected Use Sleeping Needle option on him. The next day, Kirei woke up extremely happy thinking he slept with MC but she wasn't next to him though. He ran to her room to find her, but she told him nope, they didn't sleep together, she wants to focus on finishing her mission.

Y (This person is really good at dancing...)

MC and Kirei dance together (a type of dancing while holding weapons, MC holds a sword while Kirei holds fans) at the party. 

Tbh by the end of the common room and the first half of Korei's route, I was very worried that this will end badly because Korei seems like he is still obsessed with the White Lady and may not love MC for herself at all ( ；´Д｀) But I'm glad the last half went ok, he has a reason from his past why he behaves like this (the White Lady obsession and the abstinence), just needs to communicate better to MC. Korei's confession and good end are very sweet and fluffyyy. He's such a cute dork otaku and still has strong resolve to protect his family and his kingdom people, oughhh I luv him, esp ThirstyKorei ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡ Yep, I just need to pass the exam and I'll be free to write his route summary ;u; 

Before I play otome games, I was really into Chinese love stories (books and TV dramas). Korei's white hair reminds me of Dong Hua Emperor in Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms who I really like. In Korei's happy end CG, Korei looks quite similar to Dong Hua so yep, this is the final push for Korei to jump to my fav suitor spot. Don't worry Rolan, I still luv you a lot~

Surprisingly Kirei grows on me. He is a playboy but in front of MC (who he likes), he turns into a blushing pouting mess. Kirei and MC's banters are very funny bc both of them are very good at seducing the opposite sex so Kirei's cheesy lines don't work on her. Kirei really cares for his family (Korei and the younger sisters) and by the end of Korei's good end, he plays around less, and works very hard as Korei's right hand man.
