So...Apothecary Diaries, right?

The next anime season starts next year, the 10th of January.

I think it looks really, really good! Amazing even! At least from the main trailer I saw. I already know what happens << LN reader << but I'm still excited to see everything in motion, witht voice acting and all that. I never got really ahead in an anime, so it's quite exciting like "mwahahaha, they're in for a ride!" kind of way.

I don't fully agree to use YOASOBI music again for the opening. I get it, their music is really good, but...let other musicians also take the stage, yknow? Since they blew up they've been literally everywhere, at the very least, in the mainstream animes.

To get back to the anime...I wonder how far they'll go. I've got a feeling, but I'll keep it to myself, so I don't spoil others.

To be fair, I've been trying to hype myself up for this new season by watching Apothecary Diaries reactions on youtube (more sporadic than anything, it's really hard to find ones that speak to me...aka vtubers -cough-)

I enjoyed Metaphor a lot. I think, if I'd had played it myself, i would be a hardcore fan. But well, I ain't got no money, so Let's Plays will have to do the trick for now. My favorite character...it's difficult, since all the characters are very well written and sympathetic. I think it's gotta be one of the Papirus boys, either Basilio or Fidelio. Basilio gets more screentime, sure, but normally I like the snarky, smart types more.

I saw Metaphor on the game shelves too in the place where I buy my game stuff. But they only had it for PS5, which I don't own. I looked even behind the other PS4 games, because sometimes the witty lil bastards hide games they want for themselves but cant buy right now behind others. But...I didn't find it. I didn't see it for Switch either, but I'm not sure if it even came out on that console, so I didn't really look to be fair.

Maybe I got to make a Metaphor swear jar or something, so I can get it...maybe if I reeeally squint and duck...but...food is also crazy expensive rn. If I'm lucky, I can barely afford new clothing. Yeah...I guess I will have to not get it for now.

I spent too much money on christmas presents too. I'd rather not gift each other stuff, specially if everything is so frikkin expensive, and my friend barely ever gets anything from her family, so I couldn't exclude her either...but hey, if it makes them happy. I don't mind not buying ice cream for myself, if it means that I can gift a little bit more.

Well, back to fandom matters...but I think...I think that's all!

Even though, I have to admit - I am balls deep in Alien Stage now. I can barely see the surface with so much Alien Stage. Drowning in the best possible way. Just, beam me right up there to heaven. Or to Alien Stage, I should say.

Everyone is going berserk over the blind boxes. To be fair, the figures look insanely adorable. And the sort of prints that come with them? Crazy good. But I think, because everyone will jump on them like beasts, I probably won't even try getting one. Also, again, I can't afford them. And I can't always rely on my parents for cash, they already do so much for me. If I was just a little more brave...if I was less off an absolute scaredy-cat...if I could deal with people way better than I do now...! Maybe I could work. But who would even take someone who didn't work for 10 years? Only people who are desperate or want to abuse those people. I'm not crazy about ending like my brother, who has to take every shift they press down on him, just because he didn't study anything.

Well, this fandom talk ended more in a self-reflecting about not being able to afford jack shit. Yeah...everything has its ups and downs, I suppose. I may have lots of time, but not a purpose, or money, or...not much else, really. Maybe I should hone my talents. I mean, I can draw a little bit. I could work on my drawing skills, maybe make it as a living. But with the competition out there? Not a chance.

Things'll be how things'll be.
