#it felt weird not to make a ton of adjustments LOLOL

[werebutch]

Tex face ? I think ?

[aprillikesthings]

Now that I've spent a good day thinking about how hot it is when Catra is a terrible person corrupted by setting off a portal, I'm ready to go back to (re)watching her try to be Good lolol

well okay more than one day.

I mean I literally spent the last four? five? days listening to songs off The Downward Spiral over and over while thinking about Catra and practicing my makeup for my Catra cosplay and ordering more of the things I need for it; like literally just staring off into space at work between phone calls thinking about Catra

I'm totally a well-adjusted middle-aged adult, thanks for asking!

Shit where did I even leave off

Oh right

SO HEY if you're new here, I've been rewatching all of the 2018 She-Ra, and I started doing it for fic-writing reasons but predictably I have become deeply obsessed. Anyway these posts sometimes have a lot of asides and commentary and references to other stuff and dumb jokes among a ton of screenshots, also (and it feels odd saying it this close to the end of the show) it's a RE-watch, so there's often spoilers for later bits of the story, also I keep trying NOT to just describe the entire plots of the episodes but I keep failing lol

s5 ep7 Perils of Peekablue

Adora's trying to become She-Ra (without an immanent threat) and then Bow and Glimmer distract her, and then the door opens on Catra and

I literally did a YES YES YESSSS AHAHAH out loud bc this is the point at which Catra just starts OPENLY FLIRTING, as opposed to just uhhhh flirtatiously taunting I suppose lol

like you're SITTING IN HER LAP

Also while rewinding it to watch again I paused it at the most hilarious moment

look at Catra's FACE

help I can't stop laughing but also look at Bow's expression

Glimmer: omg I'm gonna get to see my dad Catra: *gets up and leaves*

But also I make this face when a cat leaves my lap before I wanted them to:

Anyway they're a day out from arriving at Etheria

Adora's trying so hard

BACK ON ETHERIA

YAY IT'S THIS ONE

the intro finally changed!! I can't get a good screenshot but now when Catra (with short hair) and Adora (in She-Ra's new get-up) are fighting they stop much faster and they're both smiling omgggg

and there she is!! with everyone else!!

okay I'm going to take way less screenshots etc of the underwater speakeasy thing because let's be honest: that part of the plot isn't what I'm here for lol

But yeah they're going to the speakeasy thing to get Prince Peekablue who can see to the edges of the galaxy and can maybe tell them where Adora and the others are because they don't know what happened

Oh also Spinarella is chipped and Netossa is realizing something is off/weird about her but doesn't know what

Oh hey! You used to work for Huntara in the Crimson Wastes

Sea Hawk has pissed off approximately half the people in the room it seems (by lighting their ships on fire at some point)

Scorpia and Perfuma are the cutest and I can absolutely see how they end up together

In my fic I originally had Adora talking to some kind of therapist but I wasn't sure they existed on Etheria, and last week I edited that bit so Adora is talking to these two (which makes the conversation more fun AND easier to write anyway)

Perfuma: "Scorpia. You should do things not because you're good at them, but because they make you happy." THAT IS ONE OF MY LIFE PHILOSOPHIES thank you Perfuma you're 100% correct and I tell people this ALL THE TIME

Mermista: "I might've set their boat on fire. Just to see what it felt like."

Sea Hawk:

lolol

YESSSS I love this scene

Perfuma makes a flower, throws it to Scorpia as she sings, and she blushes and tucks it into her hair, these two are so sweet and cute

oh god I forgot that when "Prince Peekablue" get stung by Scorpia they go through the last half-dozen shapeshifts before turning into a (passed-out) Double Trouble.

lolol instead of "cash cow" it's an insult to poor Catra

Anyway they have the info the Rebellion wanted!

Horde Prime is pissed and has blockaded the planet, also half the people at the speakeasy were chipped....and now so is Mermista, though nobody realizes that yet

But also the phrasing of "She-ra stole his little kitten away" is just amazing

But also the last they heard, Adora and Bow and Entrapta had left to rescue Glimmer, do they think Double Trouble is talking about Glimmer here or what

(which. they did. they just also went back for Catra.)

Netossa realizes her wife (and most of the people around them) are chipped D:

And a chipped Mermista is gonna drown them all

oh shit Micah is also chipped

Entrapta gets the comms working!

"The Rebellion's been compromised! Horde Prime has them! We lost, I'm so sorry! We lost them!" --and then the comms go to static

AND CREDITS!

[ Online Relationships ]

Monday, Oct. 07, 2013

I’m going to recap several gaps in my life in which I haven’t focused a particular topic on. Online relationships have transformed me in a way in which I couldn’t have imagined. There are a lot of positive aspects as well as negative aspects to it. I used online relationships as a form of escapism from reality. It granted me immediate feedback, gratification and attention if I was lonely, stressed, and needed someone there.  The art of communicating with written words is something that helped me express myself more in depth and allow myself to be more open to the other online people.

t’s has been noted that my online friendships with people have lasted for several weeks, some several months, and others that lasted a year.  That feeling of greeting someone in the morning with an msn text and then closing an msn text before going to bed was a warm, cozy, reassuring feeling.  When I feel more open to someone, I feel comfortable around them and have some sort of emotional connection with that person.  A lot of my online friends were males. I could easily talk to them.  I will admit, a lot of it had to do with some sort of personal validation and being flattered from the praise and attention I received. 

Some of these friendships at first seemed like platonic friendships. Eventually it got to that point where I felt like I appreciated them more and wished to see them in person. I became jealous when I found out that they eventually got a girlfriend or wife.  At some points, I became confused if they just saw me as a friend or something more than a friend.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thunder was my first online friend. We randomly became friends through a social networking site that my Indian friends introduced me to [the site].  He added me thinking I was 18+, but I lied about my age, and I was like 16-17 lolol.  He does some sort of computer graphic design or drawing tutorial work. He was kinda disappointed I was young, but we were just friends. Eventually I got older and was shocked he eventually found a wife from his workplace. I had no idea he was seeing anyone. We met each other in person once before he and his wife left to move to California. He and his wife were pleasant to be around. It was a positive meeting experience.  After he moved, we gradually communicated less and less. He divorced his wife. We remain FB friends.

------------------------------------------------------------

I met “J” through my sister. He was an admin on an anime forum. He basically helped give me emotional support through my struggles in freshman year in college while I battled loneliness and adjustment. He eventually found better employment somewhere and married a woman. Our communication dissipated quite a bit. Those phases of friendships come and go.

Being a part of that anime forum lead me to connect with a lot of other online people out there. Everyone was fairly around the same age, young and clueless about life with no obligations. I easily rose to awareness and attention by being sisters with a former moderator.  I posted my picture, and a lot of the male users complimented me and wanted to get to know me more.  One of those people stood out to me as far as being an amusing friend goes. And here I embarked on some sort of journey with Tom. 

----------------------------------------------

He was rather notorious on the forums, a bigshot member who posted frequently and was able to instill humor and witty jokes here and there.  I was impressed by his boldness and charisma.  We started out as friends. He became jealous of me when I went through that FWB phase with Dave. Eventually it lead to me being more than friends after a while. I clung to Tom when the whole Dave friendship failed. I just wanted someone to care about me and be there for me emotionally.  I wanted some substance. I wanted to have a boyfriend. I felt like I could be a “good girl” and hold off on sex. I didn't want to be a slutty girl who slept around with a lot of men, so I used this online relationship as some justification for me to force me to be more pure.

 I’ll also note that I was a stupid, naive, dumb girl who fucking webcammed for this guy when I didn’t have a fucking clue what he looked like. I just wanted attention and the shit. I wanted someone to revere in my body and appearance.

It’s always exciting and interesting discovering and talking to new people. You become flattered at the person they seemingly are. You see how amazing and confident they are.  As you get to know them more, you discover the darker side of the person. And that is what happened.

We would have minor arguments here and there that eventually did resolve.  It was an emotional struggle, but sometimes the arguments made us feel closer after the resolution. He had several red flags that I should have paid attention to. He was controlling, he was socially withdrawn from other people, he had no close real friends who he maintained a consistent communication with, he was antisocial in the real world, he also would talk about physical workout regimens but he was always reluctant showing pictures or videos of him.  But somehow despite all that shit, I was somehow convinced otherwise that he is a good and caring person that was genuinely caring about me.  That’s what I wanted right, someone to care about me?  

I had to go through a ton of bullshit with him. I was frustrated about how I was the only one who cammed, and I couldn’t even see or hear shit from his side. He made fucking excuses where he was unable to cam or talk on phone more often.  Typing this entry is also making me feel angry and disgusted as shit.  

It was like a 3 and a half year pseuedo relationship.  We messaged each other online everyday, getting into a routine of “hi, how are you etc”. And then we complain about random stuff to each other. It got to a point where I was all, “hi, when are we going to meet?”  I finally had an apartment, but he had issues with finances, no car, still living with parents.  I felt awkward if I had to drive there to meet him first. I shouldn’t be the one to go there and fucking meet him first anyway.  I already did my part by camming to him the first time. What a bastard.

Anyway, I felt like I was struggling. I told him that we shouldn’t label ourselves as BF/GF anymore. We are just friends. He took it with some difficulty, but agreed. Eventually we phased out the *kiss* in our closing statements at bedtime. Even as just friends, I felt all weird and smothered by him. It was an unfulfilling friendship that didn’t seem to be going anywhere.  I was also talking to an online guy (MMO) dude that I probably wrote an entry in a couple months back.  That MMO guy bailed out on me and didn’t seem interested in maintaining friendship with me.  MMO guy lived in Oklahoma, and I wanted to meet him too. 

Whenever I saw the new pics that Tom finally decided to show me, I was pissed and disappointed. I guess I was lying to myself thinking that he would somehow miraculously drastically change his appearance from the old 2006 photo that he showed me first.  He was sort of slightly overweight and his facial expression was that of apathy, boredness, blankness, no smile.   It was like the way he described himself in words was that of a lie compared to his actual appearance. I was lied to in a way, or deceived, or I just tried to ignore shit in the beginning and have some sort of blind hope it wasn’t true. 

I tried to give him a chance, but I suppose the physical aspect became a point to where it was starting to be more of a turn off.  I also just felt bored of him. There was nothing new in his life. He didn’t seem to have any goals or passion in his life for anything.

So yeah, throughout all this, I’m so fucking sexually frustrated and deprived  a 3 year dry spell.  I hate this idea of being faithful or devoted to someone who would never be there for me in person. There’s always that talk of someday we will meet, just wait, it will happen.  3 years of this talk and still nothing happened. I got that emotional support and attention, but I realized that I needed both- physical and emotional needs met.  It was time to say, G’bye. 

 And that’s when I met Andy in January.Tom was pissed I met Andy and just.. had sex with him on the first date.  It was unexpected and he felt like he was betrayed. But I told him, we aren’t even BF/GF anymore, no need to be worried. Somehow he felt like he had some sort of entitlement. 

I probably could have. Should have? Given him some warning as far as “hey, I’m talking to this guy and am going to go on a date with him”. kind of thing.  I probably treated him like shit. But there wasn’t any obligated rule for me to be devoted or faithful.  I don’t want to be held back. I want to do what I want. In some way, I may have used Andy as far as trying to make a stepping stone to get away from Tom. I needed to cut the strings off and tie off any lose ends. 

Tom and I discussed things further. He eventually understood what I was going through and agreed to give me space. He wanted to still see me. He wanted to still be my friend. I still felt constricted and smothered. I kept him on FB, but I wasn’t going to go on MSN anymore. He made several comments on my FB activity and feeds. I was beginning to get annoyed and pissed off at his slight actions that weren’t trying to be harmful or intimidate me.  He still tried to cling to me sometimes sending a random mail once a couple of months or weeks of self reflection.  Of course I would respond back in some manner. I told him I didn’t want to be angry all the time whenever he tried to post stuff to me. I told him that I was going to remove him from my friends list and block him.  We still have each other’s email if he wishes to contact me randomly.

I wonder if this is all considered running away.  But I feel better about myself. I feel like I can focus on myself in the real present world.  I am more away from being glued to the internet.  I appreciate Tom’s friendship and care about me. I did care about him more too at some point.  I learned several things about myself throughout the whole process. One lesson I learned was to never do online relationships again or even online friendships for that matter too.

There is so much to do and experience in the real world: meet and hang out with local people, go to places and engage in fun activities, eat with people and share stories with people in real time. Seeing their smile, seeing their humorous antics in person, and also feeling their touch in person is something that words on a screen simply cannot replicate.

After having my first boyfriend/real relationship, I felt like those 3 years talking to Tom I was missing out on a lot of things.  Even though I feel shitty about being sucked into that 3 year confusion and mess, it was still a valuable experience. I sometimes look back and imagine the pain and sadness I have inflicted on Tom. I gave him false hope and crushed his hope and anticipation.  At the same time, I need to worry about and focus on myself more.  Sometimes we all need a harsh reality check about life.

Mitsuki Izumi [MEMO MELO] RabbitChat

Part 1-5

Part 1: Diamond Disc

Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san, good work.

Today I have amazing news!

Mitsuki: Oh? You seem happy, manager! What, what? Is it something good?

Tsumugi: Yes!!

Tsumugi: Why, the Diamond Disc selection committee contacted us to say that IDOLiSH7 won the Sapphire Award, which is awarded to top male idols!

Tsumugi: Congratulations…!

Mitsuki: Eh

Mitsuki: Really?!

Regarding Diamond Disc, out of the 4 awards included in JIMA, isn’t it the special award for idols?!

Tsumugi: Indeed!

There is the grand prize, the Diamond Award, the Ruby Award given to top female idols, the Sapphire Award given to top male idols, the Emerald Award given for a song instead of an idol, and the Amethyst award given to newcomers,

Tsumugi: And out of them it’s the Sapphire Award!

Mitsuki: Wow----!!!!

Mitsuki:

Tsumugi: Wow----!!!!

Tsumugi:

Mitsuki: But, why were we chosen?!

If I’m not mistaken, the Diamond Disc is an award based on the sales of various music media!

Tsumugi: Perhaps, thanks to B or W, “MEMORiES MELODiES” became a bestseller!

Tsumugi: Even now, it’s been gradually growing.

Banri-san also said he’s never seen before these kinds of sales before!

Mitsuki: I see, MEMO MELO is doing well! I’m really happy!

Tsumugi: It’s one of IDOLiSH7’s representative songs.

I think it’d be great if it become a song our long time fans can love!

Mitsuki: I hope that happens.

For our future songs too!

Tsumugi: Yes…!

Mitsuki:

Mitsuki: By the way, do we not know the other winners yet?

Tsumugi: It seems it’ll be announced online in 10 days. There, the other winners will also find out, I think.

Mitsuki: I see, in 10 days.

Re:vale is entering the hall of fame, so the grand prize has to be TRIGGER’s.

Tsumugi: I think so too.

Since “Leopard Eyes” is also a huge bestseller…!

Mitsuki: Yeah…. But, we also won’t lose!

Next year’s goal is the Diamond Award!

Tsumugi: Yes! In order to respond to our fans’ support, let’s do our best!

Mitsuki: Since we were able to win an award thanks to all our fans!

Above all else, we shouldn’t forget to make the fans happy!

Tsumugi: Don’t forget where you came from, right? ><

Tsumugi: After the announcement, there will also be an awards ceremony, so I think I might have to adjust the schedule again.

I think we’ll be busier from here on, but I look forward to working with you!

Mitsuki: An awards ceremony! I’m getting nervous…!

Mitsuki: Leave it to me. I’ll kick that unenthusiastic ossan’s ass too!

Tsumugi: Please do! lol

Mitsuki: I’ve seen the awards ceremony on TV before, and if I recall the representative made a speech.

Riku the center could try, but how about leaving it to the leader, Yamato-san?!

Tsumugi: Actually, I also requested that!

Mitsuki: Oh! As expected of manager!

It's kind of hard to believe, but if it's manager's request he'll listen lol How fun!

Tsumugi:

Mitsuki:

Part 2: Celebration

Mitsuki: Manager, thank you coming to the Sapphire Award celebration earlier!

Making lots of food and decorating the dorm was worthwhile!

Tsumugi: No problem…! The food was delicious. Thank you!

I was also glad I got to see the moment of the Diamond Disc web announcement with everyone.

Mitsuki: I just whipped up a little something!

But, the food you make is tastier, manger. It’s filled with your love!

Tsumugi: I made it with a lot of love ><

But, I felt love in each of the dishes everyone made!

Mitsuki: Aw shucksl!

Tsumugi: Oh shucks!!

Mitsuki: lololol

Mitsuki: What’s with this humility contest lolol

Tsumugi: I laughed a bit! lol

Today I decided to honestly accept all these words of praise…!

Mitsuki: I see! After all it’s the Sapphire Award!

Mitsuki: Let’s be smug today! Tamaki will follow along lol

Tsumugi: Tamaki-san, he diligently alternated between eating salty and sweet food, but can he also be smug? (1)

Mitsuki: After it was announced online, he took a screenshot lol

Then, he went hm-hmph at us, and we felt, how could he be so smug towards us? lol It was cute though!

Tsumugi: Tamaki-san is in a good mood! lol

Tsumugi: Yamato-san, Mitsuki-san, and Sougo-san also drank a bit of alcohol, so you’re in high spirits!

We couldn’t all eat together in a long time, so I was happy!

Mitsuki: It’s really been a long time!

I’m happy, but lately we’ve been busy with individual work so it was hard to meet up.

Mitsuki: Sougo said so too.

After all it’s delicious when you eat with 7 people together. If I’m not mistaken, the first time he ate together with people was when he came to the dorm.

Tsumugi: Sougo-san’s family, they never ate together huh….

It’s good that he had more fun times at the dorm.

Mitsuki: Indeed!

Mitsuki: Perhaps that’s why he hasn’t been around people who think making food with a ton of Tabasco is weird….

Tsumugi: He also put a lot of Tabasco on the pizza you and Iori-san made and ate it ><

Mitsuki: Nagi posted a picture from that time on social media, but wasn’t it too stimulating for the fans…?

Tsumugi: I want to believe Tamaki-san is used to seeing Sougo-san’s eating habits..

Mitsuki: Yeah lolol Sougo fans sure are disciplined!

Tsumugi: Other fun things also happened at the celebration!

Option 1

Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san’s special bucket pudding was also great!

Mitsuki: It’s fun when there are a lot of people!

We tried eating pudding with soy sauce to see if it was like sea urchin, and it really was! Also adding Tabasco was unexpectedly tasty lolol

Option 2

Tsumugi: The moment of the announcement was exciting too!

Mitsuki: I couldn’t help but cry but Nagi’s F5 key mashing was too funny, so my tears went away lolol

After all we’re more suited to laughing than crying!

Option 3

Tsumugi: Were there any memorable events at the celebration?

Mitsuki: It has to be when Tamaki gave me a ride on his shoulders…?

No, I can hardly say that I didn’t get caught up in antics, but it was fun to feel like a kid again…. Afterwards something unexpected also happened lolol

Mitsuki: Speaking of which, sorry for earlier, manager!

Tsumugi: Ah, about the RabbitChat with Yamato-san?

Mitsuki: Yeah yeah!

That ossan teased you, manager. So I gave him a chop!

Tsumugi: Chop…! I’m all fine.

Is Yamato-san still in the room?

Mitsuki: Yeah. We’re staying up to have a twenties' party lol

Tsumugi: Please take it easy so that you get enough sleep ><

Mitsuki: Got it!

Now, we’re having a discussion about “things you understand when you’re in your twenties” lol

Tsumugi: How profound…. What kind of topics were there?

Mitsuki: “A month passes by in a moment” “Recovering from injuries and fatigue is slower” “Not sleeping at least 6 hours is horrible”

Mitsuki: And things like that… lol

Mitsuki: You’re a girl, manager, so take care of your skin.

They say beauty starts from the inside with stuff like food, so if anything happens, I’ll tell you!

Tsumugi: T-that’s really deep, I’m shocked….

I’ll take care of myself. Thank you for thinking of me…!

Part 3: Supportive Mitsuki

Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san, good work on the joint magazine interview and photo shoot with TRIGGER today!

Mitsuki: Good work, manager!

It’s was quite a large interview!

Mitsuki: Isn’t it the opening feature? I’m really happy!

Tsumugi: Of course!

Anyway, it is “Idols Who Shine Like Gemstones ~Diamond Disc Feature~”!

Mitsuki: It’s a conversation about how TRIGGER who won the grand prize, as we expected, and IDOLiSH7 who won the top male idol award…!

I never cared about status before, but being told formally made me happy.

Tsumugi: Indeed! I think you’ll be featured in things like magazines and TV as “the Sapphire Award winners, IDOLiSH7” from now on.

So that we don’t fail to live up to that name, we must work hard…!

Mitsuki: Ah that’s it! I was nervous when we were called the B or W winners for a while, but it’s also like that this time.

Mitsuki: It’s amazing that TRIGGER and Re:vale and others don’t succumb to the pressure.

We have to show them we can do it!

Tsumugi: I think it’s shown a lot in the feature this time!

Mitsuki: Really?

Tsumugi: Yes! You mediated the conversation with TRIGGER, and made it exciting, Mitsuki-san!

Mitsuki: Thanks! I’m shy at being praised. I went off topic a lot though lolol

The photo shoot was also fun!

Tsumugi: It was a photo shoot beyond the boundaries of the groups!

Option 1

Tsumugi: The photo shoot of the unit who sang “Fure Fure! Seishun Sanka” was wonderful!

Mitsuki: Iori, Riku, and Kujou right?!

I get it because Riku and Kujou are twins, but Iori somehow resembles Kujou in aura. Maybe because they’re both frank

Option 2

Tsumugi: The photo shoot of the unit who sang “LOVE&GAME” was wonderful!

Mitsuki: If those 3 stand silently, they’re too strong!

Nagi said they’re a unit that would look good saying, “Ayatsura is the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings…” lolol I don’t get it lol

Option 3

Tsumugi: The photo shoot of the unit who sang “Danshi Tarumono!” was wonderful!

Mitsuki: Why, it became an entirely reassuring unit!

It was good that Yaotome fit in with our group. We don’t suit sexiness like LOVE&GAME, or freshness like Fure Fure!, but we had the feeling of, leave the manly! singing to us lolol

Tsumugi: Speaking of which, thanks to you, Mitsuki-san, the photo shoot and interview progressed smoothly, so the magazine company said words of thanks.

Mitsuki-san, thank you very much!

Mitsuki: It’s because there were quite a lot of people this time, and I didn’t think anyone else would move things along.

TRIGGER also accepted me, so it was easy.

Mitsuki: It’s good that I could help!

Tsumugi: Of course you’re helpful!

Since you appeared on Re:vale’s NEXT Re:vale , your various abilities greatly made an impression when it comes to programs, Mitsuki-san.

Tsumugi: Please, continue to support IDOLiSH7…!

Mitsuki: You’re crying before the award ceremony again, so stop lolol

Mitsuki: Thanks, manager.

It’s everyone who has supported me. It’s how I can do my best.

Mitsuki: Please continue to support me as well!

Tsumugi: Okay. Allow me to support you!

Mitsuki:

Tsumugi:

Mitsuki: Well. The award ceremony is soon! Will we wear tuxedos?

Tsumugi: Yes, IDOLiSH7-ish tuxedos have been prepared.

Mitsuki: I don’t want to be called a shichi-go-san again.. (2)

Part 4: Waiting for the Award Ceremony

Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san, tomorrow is finally the Diamond Disc award ceremony! Please prepare for tomorrow, and rest leisurely.

Mitsuki: It somehow feels like the night before a trip!

There’s a restless mood in the dorm!

Mitsuki: I know I should go to bed soon, but I’m not very sleepy lol

Tsumugi: If you lie down, you might start to feel sleepy!

Mitsuki: I did that. But somehow, I feel like I’m dreaming now.

I always feel this way before big events.

Mitsuki: For as long as I can remember!

My whole life, I thought it was out of my reach.

Mitsuki: But, it’s not a dream anymore. It’s thanks to everyone that I can believe this.

Tsumugi: It’s not a dream.

From JIMA to B or W, it’s been one after the other…!

Mitsuki: Yeah!

It was a good name, I thought. The day you gave us the name IDOLiSH7, manager.

Mitsuki: Since the day we passed the audition, we can’t not be the 7 of us!

Tsumugi: Thank you, Mitsuki-san….

The day everyone met, that meeting wasn’t a miracle. It was an inevitability, I thought.

Mitsuki: I think so too!

It hasn’t been that long, but it feels like it’s already been 5 years.

Option 1

Tsumugi: What feelings did you struggle with at the audition?

Mitsuki: It was to drop off some documents, but the first time I was called by an agency was really motivating.

Whatever it took, I wanted to pass.

Option 2

Tsumugi: Did you make any memories at the audition?

Mitsuki: That I passed the audition itself!

It was probably the first step for everyone, but for me I thought my dream came true.

Option 3

Tsumugi: Where there any impressive members at the audition?

Mitsuki: Tamaki? At first I thought he didn’t talk much, but then he immediately gave everyone nicknames!

We had fun playing basketball together, and I thought he was strange but interesting.

Mitsuki: Hey, while we were RabbitChatting the date changed lol

I should go to bed soon.

Mitsuki: Thanks for accompanying me!

Don’t stay up late, manager!

Tsumugi: Okay…!

I’ll fall asleep imagining everyone standing at the podium.

Mitsuki: If you imagine it, it’ll become reality, huh?!

Mitsuki: Isn’t it the power of words? If you say something, it’ll become true.

It’s a different situation, but I was thinking of trying saying something before I go to sleep.

Tsumugi: Okay, what do you wish for?

Mitsuki: I want to grow 3 cm more!!

Mitsuki:

Tsumugi:

Mitsuki: I’ll say this every night from now on. Please, power-of-words!!!!

Mitsuki: Well, I’m really going to go to sleep now lol

Sorry for the serious RabbitChat. Let’s meet tomorrow with smiles on our faces!

Tsumugi: Good night, Mitsuki-san.

We’ll meet each other with the best smiles…!

Part 5: The Future in Our Hands

Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san, good work at the awards ceremony!

Tsumugi: Standing with TRIGGER at the podium was moving, and as the special guests, it was the best awards ceremony for Re:vale, who were inducted into the hall of fame…!

Mitsuki: It was an amazing time…!

Mitsuki: But the camera shutters and light coming from the chandelier were so bright and dazzling, my vision is blurry like I’m still dreaming.

Mitsuki: The moment the host announced “The winner of the Sapphire Award, IDOLiSH7”, it suddenly became clear to me.

My wish came true.

Mitsuki: Because of that, I could see everyone’s smiles. I was about to cry!

Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san…! I was also about to cry…!

Mitsuki: We are standing on a dazzling podium, Yamato-san said.

The 7 of us should be proud we’ve come this far, he said!

Tsumugi: Then, you were given warm applause.

It was too much for me.. My eyes were wet….

Mitsuki: Yeah. I also broke out in tears then! Nagi was behind me patting my shoulder, he and Sougo were too composed!

Mitsuki: After the ceremony, I tried to make Sougo and Nagi cry by tickling them, but it didn’t work….

Tsumugi: Those two are strong against tickling..

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sougo-san cry ><

Mitsuki: Yeah! Even ossan cried at B or W, but Sougo didn’t cry.

Tsumugi: Because Sougo-san is an adult..

Mitsuki: Tamaki and Riku looked like they were discussing how to try making Sougo cry by any means possible, like how Nagi cried like it was the end of the world during his birthday lol

Tsumugi: W-what!

Can you please watch over Tamaki-san and Riku-san so that Sougo-san won’t get upset? ><

Mitsuki: Got it. I won’t say whether they go overboard, but if it looks dangerous I’ll stop them!

Mitsuki: Hey, manager

Tsumugi: Yes!

Mitsuki: I wonder if we can continue to have fun this way without changing

Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san….

Option 1

Tsumugi:

Everyone will continue to always chat boisterously.

Mitsuki: If you were not here manager, I think we would’ve already collapsed a long time ago.

Surely, we’ll be fine if you’re here, manager!

Option 2

Tsumugi: If Mitsuki-san is here, it’ll surely be fine.

Mitsuki: Thanks. That audition might’ve been the first time I was needed by someone who wasn’t my own family.

Thank you for telling me I’m needed, manager!

Option 3

Tsumugi: Isn’t this the power of words?!

Mitsuki: Certainly! I said it myself yesterday!

Every night I’ll say, “We’ll always, without change, be IDOLiSH7” lol

Mitsuki: RabbitChatting with you calmed me down, manager.

Tsumugi: I’m glad I was helpful…!

Mitsuki: Tomorrow is TRIGGER and Re:vale’s dinner party.

It looks like only I am going to be the tsukkomi. I have to give it my all lolol

Mitsuki: Even though Yuki-san is rather tsukkomi when he is with Momo-san, when we’re there he joins forces with Momo-san.

Tsumugi: There’s no other way of grouping, so it may be difficult to retort! lol

Mitsuki: It’s on purpose, how sly!

When it’s an inconvenient topic, before you know it, Yuki-san switches it lol

Tsumugi: Thank you for playing the tsukkomi even though it’s troublesome! lol (3)

Mitsuki: Leave it to me lolol

If I need it, I will borrow Kujou’s power lolol

Mitsuki: Since we don’t need dissonance!!

Tsumugi: MEMO MELO’s lyrics!

Tsumugi: Speaking of MEMO MELO, I’m thinking of posting everyone’s reward acceptance comments about “MEMORiES MELODiES”, the song that helped us win this award, on the website.

Can you tell me your comment?

Mitsuki: Really?! I’m a bit nervous!

Mitsuki: The lyrics say, “Even stormy skies change into fair winds”.

Mitsuki: Just as it says, whenever we were about to lose spirit, each time we were saved by everyone. I think, can’t we return the favor little by little?!

Mitsuki: This time, we can become the fans’ fair winds!

(2) There are several other instances of Mitsuki getting called shichi-go-san. It is a holiday celebrating children ages 7, 5, and 3.
