week one hundred and twelve

this past week has been very chill and slow. i didn't meet any friends but i'm meeting c, i and l today to celebrate new year's eve!

yesterday i did also have a little dinner/game night at my dads place along w my siblings and their partners and it was a lot of fun. we played this quiz game thing called smart10 and we had to divide into teams bc we were so many so i teamed up w my sister and we won !! also omg my brother was being so ecstatic it was so funny. he gave so many fistbumps and handshakes to me and my sister whenever we queued good songs on the spotify jam and on the way home i almost cried bc he was being all affectionate and hugging me and telling me he'd miss me once i've moved :c like UGHHHHH this current time is so weird for me bc all of my family is becoming so affectionate and i really like it but it makes me so cryey. i'm so touch starved, hugs make me sob. UGHHHH LIKE IDK AND JUST UGHHHH EVERYONE'S ALSO JUST GETTING SO SINCERE AND SERIOUS LIKE TELLING ME THEY'LL MISS ME AND IT'S SO SAD!!!

GAAHHH i'm getting so annoyed when trying to figure out how to type nicely here like,,, cohesively. i usually for longer and more 'formal' texts go full proper grammar but i also kind of wanna keep the lowercase bc yk,,, it's still just tumblr and it looks cute imo and since it's meant to be like a diary thing i think a lot of shortened words come naturally so idk... is 2024 the year when i start typing like i'm writing an essay?

since i don't have a lot to say for now i'll do a little ins and outs for 2024 bc i saw someone do that and it seemed like a fun little thing!!

ins:

studying and giving school more attention now that i actually have the chance to.

finding new experiences more often!

volleyball!

continuing fighting my shyness and trying to get out there more in conversations.

becoming more comfortable around my sister and her boyfriend bc somehow i'm still so awkward bc i think i deep inside still just want to seem cool to my older sister :') this goes for my brother as well!

ACTUALLY HAVING STANDARDS, GOD!!!!!!! the talking stage w l is going so well rn and im hoping to ask him out now soon since im moving so yk hopefully i won't have to worry too much about talking to others bc he fits my standards so perfectly <3 such a relief to actually talk to someone who makes my belly fill with butterflies when i see their notif.

actually using my switch and playing more games in general outside of sims.

piercings and tattoos.

cocktails!

the smashing pumpkins!

actually practicing playing on all the instruments i own.

getting more creative with my blog entries!

outs:

ocd habits.

nail biting.

cheek biting.

getting my hair color to an awful point before freshening it up.

being awfully overbooked.

never taking pictures.

being insecure about different parts of my body.

beastars episode 23 thoughts!

some of my favorite scenes from this arc are in this ep so i've been real excited for it

this episode was super fun. as i said, its filled with some of my favorite scenes from this arc & ive been super excited to see them animated, and i dont think the anime disappointed when adapting them. this week's ep covered chapters 82, 88, the latter part of 89, 90, 91, and part of 92.

The ep opens with the moth scene, and i really loved it. I really enjoyed the way the anime adapted the part when legosi has the bug in his mouth and he's like narrating his experience of eating a bug lol. i think this whole scene was very well done and i cant wait to show it to my friends when the dub comes out lmao.

my one gripe about this scene is st i mentioned last week, that the anime made the bug eating gouhin's idea instead of legosi's. legosi is known for having unique and strange solutions to problems so in making this gouhin's idea you lose a bit of that legosi brand weirdness lol. there's also a tie-in with legosi's past and his fixation on bugs but since that got cut from this seaon it got cut from this scene too. rip.

next i wanna talk about dressgosi. a lotta ppl were worried that it'd get cut but i figured it wouldn't be. i think the anime really knocked this scene out of the park as well!!! the music. everyone's expressions. legosi's flasetto voice. all amazing lmao.

it's been known that louis hasn't been very expressive outside of going >:[ most of this season, so i'm really glad that he got to emote more in this scene. his expressions were great. i cant put screenshots of all of them here bc there's a limit to how many pics you can put in tumblr posts djlskjdlkfjsdf

when ur idiot boyfriend is back on his bullshit

i liked how they did the splitscreen so we could see legosi, louis, & ibuki's reaction's/thoughts to the whole situation lol

the way legosi's heels echo as he leaves the bar is so funny to me. A+ scene.

after this scene it's new year's eve, the night of the fight. personally i wouldve like a bit more of a buffer before actually getting into the new year's fight, but with all the rearranging and pacing issues of this season it can't really be helped that it turned out this was. it's not that big of an issue imo, just a personal preference.

we get this anime original scene of pina and riz meeting up, i think to give some plot coherence with all the rearranging the anime is doing. i think it was a nice addition.

scargosi is HEREE YEAH!!!

also!! it seems like melon & sebun has cameos in this ep 👀 rly hopin this is a sign for s3. tbh i noticed sebun on the first watch but didnt realize melon was there too until other ppl pointed it out lol.

now, im sad the anime took out legosi's new years call with haru, she already has so few moments in this arc and taking one of them out really sucks imo. but i saw some ppl suggest their phone call may be moved to next week's episode, so im gonna hold out hope that that turns out to be the case lol. also i am OBSESSED with legosi's lock screen 😭💕

they are so cute 🥺

now... it's here. the tunnel scene. i feel like the lead-up to this scene was a bit rushed. imo louis' "i like carnivores" line happened so suddenly, and didnt have the same impact as in the manga. altho to me louis' lil inner monologue about how he actually likes carnivores seemed a lil gayer lol so i still enjoyed it quite a bit.

i also rly liked louis' expressions in this scene, the way he looked/moved when he was talking about how legosi might die had me like 🥺

worried about his wolf bf

i also really liked the contrast of these two shots. ibuki towering over louis, looking large and imposing, and louis looking so small in comparison, having to look up at ibuki.

i wanna hold off my final judgement on the tunnel scene itself until we get to see the conclusion of it next week, but so far i think the anime is doing fine adapting it. i am a bit sad that it isnt playing out exactly the way it did in the manga but im curious about how it'll play out in the anime. on one hand i wanted more of the dialogue and all the buildup from that scene before the gunshot happened but on the other hand ending the ep w/ the gunshot and then the ED immediately starting was devastating and im sure it was even more devastating for anime onlies who finally made sense of the ED in this ep.

overall i loved this ep and im so excited for the last episode next week. we've got about 5 chapters left of this arc to be animated and it's gonna be such a Ride. im just hoping the anime can pace it out well.
