#i should jave double checked

[time-for-tea]

Someone stole my crochet bag with this project in it out of my car today and I'm so sad. I had my Samsung tablet in the back pocket so that's probably why they swiped it, but I really wish they would have just taken the tablet and left my blanket 😭

I had the 2 skeins of yarn and my crochet hook (along with a few other crochet related things) in there as well 🙃 They literally only got like maybe $275 worth of things including the bag itself. I filed a police report but I know I'm not getting it back.

The second picture was the most recent photo and I had completed 3 or 4 more rows since taking it. 4.5 weeks of work gone in less than 10 minutes 🥲

Evening Festival: JJK : Silence before Strom!

Am I writing this little too late? Yes! Am I writing this because I find Muta hot? Yes! Am I writing this because I need to scream into the void? Yes! Am I writing this because I simp for Miwa? Yes! Yes! Yes! and Yes! So without further ado...

Gege Akutami does this thing where he will put a short few chapters' arcs in between mammoth arcs as a breather, which I appreciate! We will need this silence before the storm that is Shibuya Incident. Not to misunderstand, this silence comes with its own squall! Between Hidden Inventory and Shibuya Incident, there is this arc, the Evening Festival Arc!

We get to see Mechamaru shine bright in this arc. Kokichi Muta, that is the name of Ultimate Mechamaru's human(form?). And Muta actually gets to harm Mahito substantially. But he is a mole at the end of the day. However, he is more like a double agent (that will come to play a role in Shibuya Incident).

To his credit, Muta does try to contact Gojo, so Muta was not totally a villain. He was playing double agents, just like Snape. What is it with double agents, they always die for their love interest without confessing? Why? And they leave us with an unresolved storyline. Then, we fans have to go to create an alternate timeline for them, why? Why authors, you do that? Sorry for that small rant but I have to say that.

Evening Festival arc is small only of 3 chapters (Chapter 80 - 82). Because there are so few chapters in this arc there is not much for me to point out. However, there are important things that I want to point out.

And with Chapter 80 we kick into action, the reading of this chapter is quite fluent. I don't know how to put it into words. but to put it frankly, it was easy for me to read action scenes in this chapter. With Gege Akutami's art, it gets hard for me to read his action scenes but this beginning was early perfect!

And I find 'Tuna' Mahito funny! I don't know why don't ask me why I just find it funny! That's it!

So there is my favorite writer (Javed Akthar), he was talking about Mr. India (a great movie, you should check out), and he said that a writer has to be a cruel human. He basically said to serve the story a writer has to take harsh steps aka killing characters so it would move the storyline forward! And my dear god, does Gege do that so fucking well!!!!!

Gege killing Mechamaru in this arc has a direct impact on the "Shibuya Incident" arc and but also in the future "The Culling game" arc. And not just simple moving pawn in grand scheme things but they have a major impact on our main characters.

Giving a glimpse of hope and immediately taking that away, it is now has become the specialty of Gege Akutami! Miwa talking about the possibility of meeting Muta in human form (the way Muta wanted) and we cut to Muta dead and bloodied. Why? that was as heart-wrenching as Rika's death. That scene right there the remainder of 'writer has to be a cruel human.' things. Gege Akutami is absolutely a cruel writer. He does deliver something as sweet as Miwa, with her pure wish to meet her friend and in the next panel, we get to see that exact same Muta bloodied and dead. Tell me that is not a definition of cruelty.

If you have come this far then thank you!
