Southwest Roadtrip - Episode 1: Viva las Vegas

When it comes to discovering the US, Johnny Cash kept it simple and straight to the point:

“I've been everywhere, man. Crossed the desert's bare, man. I've breathed the mountain air, man. Of travel I've had my share, man. I've been everywhere.“

And what a journey it was! Who knew a failed attempt to fly to Hawaii would result in such a fun adventure? We packed our stuff and jumped on a plane, destination Southwest of America. Starting by Vegas, passing through Arizona, stopping by Utah, resting in Colorado. Only my friend Belu would be as kamikaze to propose such thing and found in me such a blind partner-in-crime. It was September 4th, and we were rushing in a taxi from Hoboken to Newark to board our first flight during a global sanitary emergency, looking like Darth Vader’s close cousins with our masks and face shields.

After an approximately 6-hour flight, we landed in the middle of literally nowhere. We were able to see the pyramid and some other iconic architecture which I currently do not remember because it was about only for 5 seconds before landing. On arrival, on a mostly empty airport, we were surprised by the amount of slot machines that were there, welcoming everyone to place their bets. For sure, ours was to have fun and contrary to common belief, the house didn't win this one: we had a blast!

Followed by a surprise “SIN CITY, WOOO HOOO!” shout from someone who obviously has been living inside a thermos for the last past months, we cracked up and went to fetch a car. This very nice gentleman took us to the Bellagio (yeap, we went full on cliche mode, with what was originally a non-existent promo) while DJ Dani blasted her best records to kick off this adventure with the right feet: Viva Las Vegas by Elvis Presley and Just a Gigolo by Louis Prima Success.

DAY 1:

First things first: check in and adventure. Hotel, amenities and surroundings. Vegas spins around two main areas: the famous Strip, 6.8kms of the brightest place on earth seen from outer space full of hotels, restaurants, shops and of course, casinos. Pretty much Disneyworld for adults. The Bellagio is the iconic hotel which hosts some of the greatest restaurants and also the famous dancing fountains. Also, is one that is pretty centrally located, in between Caesars Palace (Roman Empire themed), The Cosmopolitan (which imitates boheme life from France) Aria and Park MGM Las Vegas (New York City represent!), Excalibur (Middle Ages) Luxor (Cleopatra’s Egypt) and The Venetian (of course, Venice). Everything is within walking distance but beware of the heat: a normal day in the desert is around 42C (107F), if not more, with a melting down thermal sensation of 1000 in any scale. This is why is also a city that is enjoyable during night time. So, do not feel bad about sleeping in a bit: you can always chill by the pool in the morning, have a little something for lunch and sleep (or remove the hangover) during the afternoon when the sun is unbearable. OR, the casino is always open so that could be an option. We chose to walk around a bit (big mistake) but luckily once you enter to the casinos, they are all connected with escalators, shade and AC, so we were mesmerized by this grown up themed park, where is so easy to lose track of time.

After an Italian lunch on a french bistro in a corner of Paris (? yes.. I know..) we went back and rest by the pool. Once the sun was already getting ready to bet some chips at night, we did too: we changed into our most shinny and glamorous outfit and won exactly 27 dollars! We checked out Venice, and some of the night shows that were happening on the streets (like naked promoters, the massive PM lines, and the crazy long-ass “juice” towers flowing around the more energetic covid-prone crowds) right before we headed up to Yellowtail, the Japanese and Michelin Starred restaurant at the Bellagio. We had their famous tuna pizza (it sounds terrible but it is more of a tostada or sashimi-style like) and got disappointed that they run out of the short ribs, but instead had some amazing sushi rolls and some tempura bites. When we found out about the beautiful, sigh-seeing windows that displayed all the fountain show we left our high-end attires aside and run to the windows, interrupting some other people’s dinner while leaving the waiters behind. We decided to go for dessert somewhere else and went to the piano bar located at the reception for a delicious espresso and a chocolate diamond cake. We did some neon-gazing and loved the fountain show to the beat of Believe by Cher, while being overwhelmed by a surreal feeling of actually being there, having so much fun and appreciating our friendship (and of course, avoided a high/drunk fellow who tried to take our pics and phone with them - she didnt know we were from New York and from Rio de la Plata, so the scam was on her!)

DAY 2

Repeat. (and pretty much that’s all we did). We kicked it off with a fake breakfast by the pool, and some piñas coladas in between facemasks. We also had a light lunch by the pool (a greek salad with some much needed water) and then, around 6:15 we took a cab to the Neon Museum - yeap, for those who think there is only light fun in Vegas, nope, think again, there are worthy museums, too! ( I even made a joke here! damn I’m inspired!). The Neon Museum is a scrap dealer cemetery, where all the old and somehow “broken” -even thou most of them have been repaired and are currently working!- neon signs from Old time Vegas rest. It is very fun to see old hotels, random letters, icons and logos being laid there, creating a wonderful mess in the middle of, again, you guess right, the desert. It was very fun and beautiful to be honest.

Another short taxi drive later (I was too naif thinking we could walk in short heels under the killer heat more than a block!) we drove thru what is known as “Old Vegas” or “Downtown Vegas”. This used to be the place where the magic happened before the creation of the Strip, but nowadays it only hosts what lingers of once a glamorous and kitschy past. The center of this action can be found throughout Freemont Street, a pedestrian long avenue that gathers classic neon signs, all-time Vegas characters (we still missed out on Elvis, so watch out impersonator, we will be back just for you!), stripers, street sellers, all you can eat venues, dodgy bars, and more and more neons. According to Las Vegas Tourism Board>> “Fun people, crazy people, partying, gambling, drinking, street performers, free music and light shows, zip lining and just having a good time... that's what you expect at Freemont.”

We had some pizza, talked to this Montana guy who for a second thought he was able to have a threesome with us on his dirty van, were voluntary abused by these hot, ripped stripers who made us laugh with their pick up line: “You can leave your face mask here, right by your underwear too, please.” The guys were a “sample” - since the show is canceled due to the pandemic- of Chippendales, something a fine woman needs to experience once in their lifetime. Belu felt in love with her boy, but given the current times and protocols, this love couldn't prosper as we all wished it had. No worries amiga, next time!

But the most striking part of this decadent place was witnessing this surreal restaurant called Heart Attack Grill, where people who weight more than 350lbs (almost 160kgs) eat for free. The biggest burger consist on 8 patties, and as an FYI, only the 4 patty burger is marked on the Guinness World Records Book as the “Quadruple Bypass Burger” with almost 10.000 calories, all the beverages consists on massive soft drinks, milkshakes, beers and wine, (full bottles, of course, served from an IV drip bag) and it is not allowed to share food. The place is cash only, you gotta weight yourself before entering, each patty is made of half pound each, everybody must wear hospital gowns and if you dare not to finish your meal, you get three spanks by the horny yet not so sexy waitress dressed as nurses. As a nice little detail, on the biggest burger you can pump it up with 40 slices of bacon by only $7.99 more! And, to wrap up this majestic hospital parlor, I recently researched that the legal owner of Heart Attack Grill is hilarious – Diet Center LLC. The founder is Jon Basso, who strives to provide “nutritional pornography” in his food. For a better comprehension (for a lack of a better word) of this place, you can check out this recap of Showtime’s series: Deadly Sins.

So, we were mesmerized, we were educated, we bet, we ate, we drunk and we touched some sweaty strippers, so there was only one thing left to do: crush a weeding. So there we went. There were multiple chapels around the area, but I dont know whether it was the time (it was around, 9, 9 and coins) so it may have been a little bit too late or due to COVID, but no weddings were in place. We finally arrived to the Little White Chapel, the original, unique one that has the Elvis sign, the drive-thru and the proud sign that states how Michael Jordan and Joan Collins got married there. We were so bummed to found only a very young, very dull couple getting married (she was wearing black, hence, that is all you need to know) and there was not a very jolly, merry spirit. Still, we managed to hang out with the best men and got a picture of two to remember this fail attempt to crush this very much lame wedding. Up we went to the Bellagio, checking out what was missing from Sin City: the Wynn Hotel, Route 515, 51 and the Famous Welcome to Las Vegas Sign.

We wrapped this unique experience witnessing an amazing, full moon in the middle of the desert, with a massive and delicious full on breakfast at Sadelle’s, a little piece of home in our far-away-from home hotel. Till next time, Vegas! You were great fun!

For my Flashing Prince, my handsome Battle Lover Cerulean, En Yufuin

this is my entry for @mindsebbandflow give away....

WHY I LOVE BOUEIBU!

Oh man! You asked me to know what Boueibu means to me and there are a lot of things I have to say about it, so let’s see no holding back at all!

Well, let’s be honest and start with the real story, on October 2014 my best friend sent us a promo image for Boueibu, we all laughed and say: “we gotta watch that anime to make fun of it, that’s totally ridiculous!!!” and so on January 6th that same friend (who became my Atsushi and my Kinshiro) wrote us: “did you watch the anime, it’s already on!” So I immediately went to one of the anime pages I know to watch the “unfamous magical boys anime,” I even remember my little sister looking at me and telling me: “OMG I’m so ashamed of you, you’re actually watching THAT thing!” and guess what, she became my Yumoto LOL. When I was watching it for the very first time I was like: “oh-oh… I’m in troubles I’m really loving this! How am I supposed to make fun of something I’m loving???!!!!”

That very same day, we started joking (not me to be honest, but I had to continue the joke cuz I’m an idiot who gets easily embarrassed to admit stuff….) about who will cosplay who, although before watching the episode, I had already said that En was mine, although at that moment I used to call him “el azul” (the blue one) cuz I didn’t know his name (to be honest, best random cosplay decision I have ever made!!!!) However, when we actually said we were going to cosplay them for sure was until episode 3 was aired, we started our first whatsapp group called: “Love shower!” and it was formed by Yumoto, Ryuu and En, we then got Atsushi (the poor Atsushi didn’t even believe we were being serious, our Atsushi realized that we were serious after a month) and then when we already decided who could be our Io we made another group called: “Grupal Love Making Grrrrrrr!” that group is still alive after two years, because let me tell you this is the most important part of Boueibu, it gave me the chance to have an amazing family that I love and protect, my cosplayers friends that actually call me mom….

The time was moving slowly on that 2015 thanks God, because in that way I enjoyed more every episode, but for the last two episodes I was already working in a certain call center, and I remember one of my friends texting about the ending on our chat group, and I wanted so badly to leave the place and go to watch the episode, especially because I was having such a bad day in that place! So as soon as I was off, and I got off from the minivan I played En’s song, cuz at that moment I already had it and started running to my apartment, I remembered a moto almost hit me LOL…. I was too desperate to get home, and as soon as I watched the episode I cried, I didn’t want to believe that this beautiful anime was over (at that moment I used to believe that I kill every anime I like, so I was afraid, very afraid that Boueibu wouldn’t have a second season)

And so, after this, we actually started working for our first Boueibu cosplays, we wanted to be the first group to cosplay them in my country, and we were actually the first ones! However, all the path and obstacles we had to overcome were awful!!!! Let’s say that in April, two of us were in troubles with the wigs we ordered (one because it seemed it wasn’t going to arrive on time, the other because it didn’t work for the character) at the end, the wig got on time, but it was awful (that’s in the case of En, so that’s me, I was so desperate that I cut my Edward Elric’s wig and try to make it less shining, it was all worthy for En, I seriously didn’t care at the moment, but I was too hurt to know that it wasn’t perfect for En) and for my other friend, well she got the chance to order Ryuu’s real wig and got it on time. Also, I remember that around April, my Atsushi broke her knee, so I went to visit her and we ordered together Atsushi’s wig…. That’s a cute memory from all that tragedy LOL. Then, it comes another tragedy XD… on May 15th we went to buy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the fabric…. We bought around 25 meters of fabric… like the lady from the shop was scared and wondering what we were going to do, and after we bought it all I got sick and let’s say I didn’t enjoy my lunch very much, but those were nice days because we were together and making some kind of relationships between us and the characters. That same day we gave the fabric to a girl who was supposed to work on our cosplays (because none of us dared to sew that) and we waited 3 weeks to see the result… which was the worst result ever!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! All the suits were wrong, the sleeves were wrong, the seizes didn’t match, everything was so awful!!!! It was so frustrating we only had 3 weeks before the con, we didn’t have more money, the girl said she will only refunded us a part of what we paid her and we needed to look for someone who could work on our cosplays in less than 3 weeks, at that moment I suggested one person I knew from my hometown, but not everyone could come to my hometown, so it was playing it all and make a random suggestion about Io and Atsushi’s measures… oh but at that moment my Atsushi was like: “no man, I cannot make this, I cannot keep on going,” and since Boueibu already meant so much to me at that moment I immediately said: “I’ll help you with everything you don’t have to worry about anything else!” I NEEDED MY ENATSU PICS I WAS NOT GOING TO LET HER OUT OF THE GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And she is my best friend, of course I was going to help her!

After that, we needed to work on the brooches, like we are the perfect example of Costa Rican people at that moment we left everything for the last weeks…. And let me tell you, I’ve been closed to death so many times thanks to Boueibu XD, when we went to buy material to work on the brooches, there was an accident with the train (daily life issues here in my country tbh) so the bus driver didn’t want to stop and let anyone to get off until the most dangerous point to cross streets… which I now call “Harulencia” but the real name is “La Valencia” (that happened on Haru’s bday, that’s why) thanks God we did survive crossing that street! And OMG I was so freaking tired that day! I worked a shift of 11 hours and I didn’t have enough strength, but still I run, and search and did everything I could to get all the materials that very same day with my friends! When we got back to the apartment, we ate and also drank to celebrate we were alive and the next day we actually got the brooches done, they were perfect for us because we knew how much they had all costed!

This cosplay experience was such an adventure, we got our cosplays one week before the event, we were not sure if the lady we requested help from really knew what we needed, but surprisingly that lady is the best and she did it 1000000 of times better than the other girl! We couldn’t believe it, because most of us were about to leave and quit everything, whether for wigs, shoes, or simply because we were getting tired of so much shit going on, but at the end we did it! We got all together to sleep at my apartment the day before the con and of course getting ready with final stuff (mainly how to put on the bows and brooches XD) to be honest, En Yufuin is my most important cosplay so far! The battle lover outfit has been the most difficult outfit for me to get all together, but it was completely worthy! We were so happy on the con because: 1. We were actually the first people to cosplay these characters here, 2. People love the result, 3. We got to be even closer and become more of a family!

I remember that a week after the event, I found the perfect wig for En-chan on ebay and I had to buy it even if the event had already happened, I had it on August 4th and got home to take some pics, my face looked completely dead on those because it was a very long day at work XD. After that we kept working on some cosplay projects like CMV or pictures, En-chan is the character that I love to cosplay the most, so since I have the greatest Atsushi, she proposed me that we should go with the high school version at the event for the end of the year and then changed to the Battle Lover outfits, I totally said yes, and we did… well pretty much… when we were changing outfits, she realized that she has left her bow so we couldn’t do it, she cried on my shoulder cuz she felt too sorry and up to now she keeps telling me that we have to cosplay them again together at some event, she is the greatest, cuz the truth is that she doesn’t really like Atsushi, but still she cosplays him because she knows how much En and En+Atsushi mean to me. After that, I had also cosplay Ibushi with the student council uniform and the Caerula Adamas suit, I really, really love the Caerula Adamas suit! It’s so elegant and so classy! And right now, I hope this year I can go for Haruhiko Beppu and En’s new battle lover suit! I need those to keep living!

Now that’s pretty much the part of why I love Boueibu and the things I have done so far for this show that I love so much (although I think I left some stuff out, but it’s to try to make this as summarized as possible), so I have to move now into why I love En-chan.

Yumoto, Io and Ryuu finishing with their bows... Atsushi finished mine so we were just taking pictures to them LOL

(this was the very first time we cosplayed the guys, I was extremely happy, but, I’m gonna hate that wig forever and I think I’m gonna cosplay En this Sunday just because I really need to cosplay him right!)

I’m actually really thankful with Boueibu cuz I have met wonderful people throught this anime, I’m happy and even thinking about how cute and wonderful could be to become something as “Boueibu” traveler, last year I met one of the greatest persons in this fandom, Myst, and this year I’m planning to go and meet d4ftka, so if I ever get the chance and the money to keep travelling and meeting amazing people, I will totally do it!

WHY I LOVE EN YUFUIN?

As I mentioned at the beginning, I chose En as my favorite character completely random (or actually cosplay character, but if you cosplay any character you gotta love him, so it was like the process in reverse(?)), it was because I saw a photoshopped image with Haru’s face instead of En’s face so I was like: oh he must be the cool guy like Haru, I like him…. and that’s how my love for En-chan was born(?) ok not like that, but it was sure the beginning. I am sure I chose him for that, and so you can believe my face of surprise as soon as we got into the show and he is talking with Atsushi and all of sudden drops this random “Atsushi, do you know there’s something I’ve been thinking about?” and for one moment one can believe that he is going to say something completely serious and stuff, but no, he is wondering about the Chikuwabu…. I looked at the image right in front of me and I was like: WTH dude?! But keep watching, like maybe that was something for that only episode, but no, En is the most random character and so one day that I was talking with one of my friends (the Ryuu one) she was like: why are you complaining about that?!! You are the most random person in our group! You totally fit as En-chan… and so I was like… well yeah I’m always like: here comes the random fact/thought/phrase or moment of the day and all of them get to be in silence for a moment until they can react, so that and the fact that I spent more of their chatting time sleeping, were the two things that makes me fall in love with En, two similarities in a character that I was afraid of not being able to represent very well.

After that, I got curious to try and draw him, I honestly don’t know how many time I have drawn En so far, but I know that it’s the Boueibu character that I have drawn the most, trying to get his expression in the best way possible, his hair was a pain in the ass at the beginning for me XD… it was just too hard to get all those bangs in the right way and I still think I need a lot of practice with that, it was the first time I really wanted to draw dead fish eyes perfectly, because being honest, before En I didn’t like characters with dead fish eyes XD, but I love his dead fish eyes more than any other pair of eyes! That perfect blue and the way they shine! It’s simply beautiful, especially when he is transforming, more specifically SECOND SEASON TRANSFORMATION! OMG THAT TRANSFORMATION KILLED ME! Coming back to drawing him…. I still fight with a lot of things that I want to get perfect every time I draw En, but I think he has been cursed with “favorite character cursed” it doesn’t matter how many times I try I’m not gonna get it completely perfect XD… still I wanna practice a lot with him, and it’s a character that even if I have been his fan for only 2 years I have tried to draw him in every possible way (trying to do almost all his outfits, I lost my faith of getting them all because there are many official arts with different clothes and I love them all and I can’t decide which one I like the most to draw him, but I do try as many poses as possible… to the point in which he has been one of the characters with the one I have made my firsts NSFW drawings…. Really like I thought I would never ever do something like that, but En-chan is too tempting to try it and so it happened XD)

(This is the very first drawing I made about En-chan)

(One of the most recent ones... I haven’t had time to scan newer drawings XD)

(Part of my drawing collection for Boueibu, here’s a little video most of the drawings are En-chan drawings

On this instagram you can watch part of my drawings.... there’s a little bit of everything on this account soooooo this is my favorite from Cerulean Week and this is my favorite from 2016 (IT’S NSFW!!!) )

En has also inspired me for something really important and that I really need in my life: how to chill, how? Well just listen to his first song, Ore wa Kyukyoku Taima Shugisha!! That song was my life when I was working at that call center, just playing it gave me life, made me smile, made me think about nicer things and got me to even imagine myself having a nice and relaxing bath! I listened to the song for the first time on March 11th that year and I couldn’t stop laughing when I read the lyrics, like OMG En this is so like you, you are a precious baby that will fight to defend what you think it’s right, because even if you are lazy you use such an energetic tune to get your point as valid! He totally got me with that, he gets his motivation from the most random stuff, going home, getting to know what a boy wants, using his powers just not to make a lot of effort, and the one I love the most protect what he loves the most. Episode 8 got me so freaking crazy on February 24th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched that episode 3 freaking times on the same day! I never do that, never ever!!!!!! But watching En-chan in that episode gave me so much life! It was a complete new side for his character, I mean I also love him from 1-7 (cuz for me he always has the best lines or the best moments! I just love him too much….(and in episode 7 I love him for being such a teaser!!!!!)) but episode 8 was such a bomb for me! His voice, his features, the way he went to protect Atsushi, the way he attacked the monster, being so decided to make the final attack and when he apologized with Atsushi!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! Everything was so perfect in that episode for En-chan! It made me so extremely happy!!!!! And let’s not talk about “kono hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” I even downloaded the audio, as well as the audio from episode 8 in which En is rolling on the floor, I had them on my cellphone and when I play random music and those play my friends stare at me like saying: “for real,” and I’m just “IT’S EN-CHAN!!!” so no one can complain about me downloading almost everything related to En-chan.

I also love him for how he behaved with the Atsushi-Kinshiro issue, we can see he never wanted to cause harm or separate the friends, he probably even tried to make them talk again, and that means so much, he really has a golden heart! And when he says he fights for Freedom, I cried for a lot of personal reasons, but I was really touched to see that that’s his reason.

During 2015 I was eagerly waiting for July 2nd, it was the first-time I knew my favorite character’s bday to celebrate it since the first year of being a fan, and I even got my Atsushi to go to my apartment (also cuz we needed to finish some stuff with some other cosplays and so on) and it was the first day I was going to try the first failed wig, so just imagine my broken heart when I couldn’t cosplay him on his bday because the wig was so wrong…. Literally it shattered my heart and I just remembered that I promise to myself that I would improve my En-chan cosplay and for the next year (2016) I will do a lot more for his bday (while remembering this I’m crying cuz it really hurt to wait 6 month to celebrate his bday and not being able at the end was awful) on 2015 I had to settle with just drawing him and I felt so damn empty because of that, it was so angsty to know that I will have to wait a whole year to celebrate his bday again.

Thanks God, a year went kind of fast and this last year for his bday was amazing thanks to mystandthemoon who decided to organize @cerulean-week(over there you can see all the collaborations I did), I helped a little bit organizing the week, but what made me even happier was the fact that I did at least 3 contributions per day, one cosplay picture, one fanfic, and one fanart, how did I have time to work on all of that? Only God knows cuz I swear I was too busy with my work and it was too hard to get at least one free hour to work on all of that, but I have to recognize I have the most incredible group of friends, we took all the pictures in just one day after coming back from one event (just imagine how tired we were, but still they were willing to help me, I love them so much, they know how much I love En-chan and how much I suffered on 2015 for the failed bday, so they really wanted me to get as much as I could for En’s week) in the case of the drawings I remember it was the first time I dared to draw in a bigger sketchbook… like I’m use to normal paper, and for all these En’s drawings I made them in a paper that was practically 6 times a normal paper XD…. Don’t ask me how I was able to do it, I’m still wondering about that (En-chan has some kind of magical spell on me, that’s for sure) and the fics, again I don’t know, but it was funny cuz at the end I got to link the some fics and then I got to link some others I wrote for Atsushi’s week. The bad thing about last year’s bday for En… that day I had a flight to take to Italy, so I woke up earlier than usual to draw him before leaving the country and to submit the collabs done for July then 2nd, and I was so worry cuz I didn’t know if I was going to be able to post the stuff I had for July 3rd, so when we got to France, around 2:30pm, I remember taking out my cellphone and begging that the poor old device could work and get the wifi signal to post what I have for that day, I remember at some moment walking slower to catch the signal (which was not allowed because we had few time to take the plane to Italy) and so once I saw that all the content was published, cosplay, fanart, and fic, I started walking normally, but to be honest, I also felt sad cuz half of En’s bday was spent flying… and the worst flight in all my life (as if I have taken a lot of flights… but well I know it has been the worst (also, GOSH! It was so difficult to watch Boueibu 2nd season first episode being in Italy, I was so desperate and looking as a crazy for a place, wifi, or something where I could watch it, at 11pm that day my little sis told me I should wait for the next day, and I almost cried, but then when some girls (that had wifi) came to the dorms, I woke up and took my cellphone and started watching the episode hahahahaha I was definitely desperate to watch the episode, and I remember I couldn’t hold my yelps when watching En’s new transformation, it was just too good to watching him and the others back and making me fangirl so hard!!!!))

AO3 ACCOUNT CERULEAN AND EPINARD WEEK FICS but over there, there are not all the fics, I published them here on Tumblr and I only got those on ao3 cuz those were the ones linked to each other.

(I still cannot believe this one had the most notes on tumblr... it was my less favorite TT.TT, but really thank you for the support)

Moving forward, being honest, I always have more ideas to create stuff related to En-chan, fanfics, videos, drawings… you can check my ao3 account… most of the fics I have published have En-chan as the main character and I need MORE, more situations for him, daring myself to write an AU where he can be the main character (I already have the idea, but I still need to convince myself that is good enough), more ships for him, I mean my OTP is EnAtsu, but as we were discussing one day: EN-CHAN LOOKS GOOD WITH EVERY ONE! So, he really needs more ships and more fics and more fanarts with every one…. In some other stuff… well I had promised myself a while ago that I was not going to buy anime merchandise ever again (it caused me a lot of family problems in the past) but I had a great friend, d4ftka, who make me realize that I deserve to spoil myself once in a while, so I started first with the lovebracelet, of course En’s lovebracelet, and the tiny purse of En’s face, it’s so adorable! I love it so much, and then I also bought THE NENDOROID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was my ultimate bday gift, and when I received it I went to pick it up in the middle of a hurricane, it was the first day we were being hit by that hurricane and I was like: I don’t care my En-chan has arrived, I gotta go for my baby! My Endoroid is honestly my most precious possession right now, I don’t know what would I do without him, and well I also add an EnAtsu keychain and an En-chan plushie is coming its way, I’m hoping to get a job pretty soon so I can buy Atsushi’s plushie so En is not alone XD.

(I’m gonna admit it over here, En-chan has become my favorite character, I love him a bit more than Kai, and Kai had been my number one since 2003... so he has come to defeat the champion...

I’m also very eager to get a new job and have the chance to keep buying more,,,, ofc being responsible, but until I get a job I will just look at all the merchandise)

Honestly, I love En’s personality, I love everything that is related to En, like I can practically scream just by looking at one of his pictures, I wanna cosplay all his version (because even if I’m not the greatest En cosplayer I love him and I feel comfortable cosplaying him), I want to write as many stories as I can about him, giving him all the possible plots, all the possible ships, all the things I can imagine and create, I want to draw him in all I can produce, getting to find the perfect color combinations for him. I honestly don’t know what else I can say to tell how much I love him, and this is the part where I hate myself cuz I know there’s a lot more I want to say, but for me sometimes it’s too hard to express my feelings, especially when it comes to anime (my family has tried to block all my emotions in regards of anime and it has worked a lot), so I think this will be all, I love En Yufuin, Battle Lover Cerulean, my Flashing Prince, and it will be a honor to win this give away for him.

This is my instagram cosplay account, of course there are cosplay for every anime I like, but I’m totally sure that En is the character I have cosplayed the most so far.

And so I guess that’s all, En Yufuin has taken over my life and I don’t regret it, I’m actually hoping to see more about this character, to make more projects about him, I’m actually supposed to edit a video with the latest duet song, but I have been drawing and writing a lot.

Thank you so much for creating this give away, it’s really nice to express everything that has happened so far in regards of Boueibu and this gives so many hopes to keep going around the fandom and getting more Boueibu!

#boueibu #Boueibu give away #En Yufuin #Battle Lover Cerulean #Flashing Prince #wish me luck #I really want this give away #it's En's prize!!!!#and it also has an Arima!!!!#Ibushi Arima is my second favorite #please I really have to win this #crossing fingers

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 15: PAINFUL RE:BAKE - Episode 24: The Things You Have To Do

eng proofreading by myuntachis!

Sakyo: … Is that good?

Gaku: It’s perfect! Oh, man~! Thanks!

Gaku: Lots of the members of my club watch this anime, they’re gonna be SO jealous!

Sakyo: The boxing was also depicted pretty realistically.

Gaku: Ah! I’d also like a handshake!

Sakyo: I don’t mind but, you’re exaggerating now…

Gaku: Omi-nii, take a pic!

Omi: Yeah, I’ll do that.

Sakyo: You sure we can make a pro do that?

Omi: Ahaha, well, since we have the chance.

Kai: Omi-nii, is this much soy sauce okay?

Omi: Yeah, that's good.

Kai: By the way, that anime is popular in my club too.

Kai: Everyone was surprised when I told them an acquaintance of mine appeared as a voice actor.

Kai: So, I’d like one more autograph to display in the rugby club’s room… And dad said he wants one too, so make that two more autographs…

Omi: Hey now–

Sakyo: I don’t mind. It’s a small price to pay for the dinner you guys are making for me.

Omi: But still.

Kai: I’m sorry for serving you such simple dishes…

Sakyo: Nah, this is more than enough. You take after your brother in the cooking department, huh?

Omi: You can take a seat over there, Sakyo-san.

Sakyo: Thanks.

Omi: Again, thank you so much for making time to come to my family home.

Omi: Though, I told them I’d just bring the autographs myself…

Gaku: I mean, if I got a chance to hear that voice live, of course I’d ask for it~!

Gaku: He was just a guest actor, but everyone agrees his character was the best!

Sakyo: You started uni this year, didn’t you?

Gaku: Yes! I’ve been doing boxing since high school, so I joined my uni’s boxing club too!

Gaku: I was a senior till last year, but now I’m suddenly one of the youngest members, the transition’s been rough~

Kai: You’re the kinda kid seniors love doting on, so it’s fine. You didn’t even feel like a senior last year.

Gaku: That is SO not true! My juniors all cried and said they’d miss me when I graduated, I was a good and proper senior to ‘em!

Gaku: Oh!

Gaku: That reminds me, I gotta treat ‘em sometime, as thanks for helping Omi-nii with that thing he’s been looking into–

Sakyo: What’s he been looking into?

Omi: It’s no big deal. Kai, shouldn’t you be thinking about finding a job soon?

Kai: Right. Maybe I should ask if I can join Sakyo-san’s company…

Sakyo: We’re… not exactly the most ethical place.

Kai: But it’s amazing how both of you can juggle your day jobs and performing for the theater company~

Gaku: I’ve got my club activities and reports, and I’m going crazy. How do you manage?

Sakyo: … You gotta make sure to not spend a single moment of your life half-heartedly.

Sakyo: As you grow older, the things you hafta do even though you don’t want to keep increasing, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on the things you want to do.

Sakyo: And when you find something you want to do, you must go at it with full strength.

Sakyo: The only way to get to doing what you actually want to do is by giving it your all on the things you don’t want to do.

Gaku: Gotta do what you don’t wanna do, huh… That hit right where it hurts~

Omi: Thank you so much for today. And for what you said before–

Sakyo: Sure.

Omi: I respect how you don’t neglect your work at Ginsenkai, you balance everything and still manage to work as a voice actor along with everything else you want to do.

Sakyo: It’s exactly because there are things I want to do that I'm able to work so hard.

Sakyo: What’s something you want to put your everything into doing, Fushimi?

Omi: ——

Omi: I understand that, just like Banri said, I have to find something to help me break out of my shell as an actor…

Omi: But the truth is, there’s something else bothering me currently.

Omi: I was told I’m being a hypocrite, and I’m not sure if it’s something I can solve. But I just can’t seem to stop thinking about it.

Sakyo: Then, isn’t that what you want to do most, right now?

Sakyo: If there’s something you really want to do, you should do it.

Sakyo: Keep turning away from the things you want to do, and your 20s will pass in the blink of an eye.

Sakyo: And those things will keep haunting you. Take it from someone with experience.

Omi: … You’re right.

Sakyo: The reason no one in the Autumn Troupe, myself included, is saying anything about your challenge, is because we know you’re not the type of person to slack off on this sorta thing.

Sakyo: What all of us wish for you is to do something that you truly want to do, even if it’s something difficult.

Omi: Something I truly want to do…

Omi: … Sakyo-san, there’s something I’d like to talk to you and the rest of the Autumn Troupe about when we get back to the dorm.

Sakyo: … You sure take your time when you have to ask for help.
