[mihai-florescu]

Oh Valkyrie theme hello Mihai how's it going?

Happy pride month !

[yume-fanfare]

It's more like skull + brain consistency though. Like thickness and hardness of the outside of a watermelon is similar to skull and the insides are watery like a brain so it's close enough y'know?

fascinating. thank you

[vampacidic]

Hi sage <- saw the bingo thing

i need to get over social anxiety when talking to mutuals >__>

[mayoiayasep]

Hey nyx.... Can I ask what the deal is with this guy?

It's driving me up the walls, who are you, what are you doing here, why are you invisible like 9 times out of 10, are you just a gag, what's your story

For reference I have read nothing of the manga and I'm just watching the anime and I just got past the misfits obtaining the royal one

all i will tell you is that his name is purson soi and that he gets a focus arc in season 4<3 or if it hasnt come out by the time you read the manga his arc is during the music festival arc

[twowink]

Hi Amia c:

We don't really talk much and I'm bad at this, but it's always nice seeing you around the dash!

Uh... I don't really have much to say, this year seems to be kicking everyone around so here's to hoping it can get a bit easier for all of us soon, hang in there c:

The yearbook has been a wonderful project that lasted for about 2.5 months, we really hope that we have brought something fun to enstarsblr this year! It was a lot of fun to see everyone's propaganda and to see everyone having a good time. We hope to return again next year!

Since this post is long enough already, we have an afterword from all the moderators of this project in a separate post, we would really appreciate it if everyone took some time to read it!

So aside from the videos of alien stage what else am I supposed to be looking at exactly I get more of the more or whatever haha... Ha....

IM SO DISTRAUGHT STILL. YEAH. IT REALLY IS THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE JUST AN ENTIRE LINE OF WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENEDS

that aside, theres a good amount of bonus content like a little booklet/guide on the setting and background of each character that you can otherwise sorta deduce from the mvs! im not sure where to find it other than having seen a good few bits pop up here and there though ill have to look later 🤔 plus various canon/noncanon/au extras from the creators in comics or just random illustrations!! you can usually find it through vivinos' instagram or on the yt community tab i believe, ik some ppl here translate them often as well

that aside. which is ur favorite character/song Now 💥

[mihai-florescu]

The did What

I dont even know what this ask is about, there are too many things that have happened since october. The wataei vs selfship thing? It's still on their blog i think, you can see it for yourself

[yume-fanfare]

Mar being the hanako-kun mutual, what are your feelings in Mitsuru's new VA being Daiki Kobayashi (aka. Mitsuba in the anime adaptation)

HE GANAO

[vampacidic]

It was so funny seeing you post like "OH WHA HAS GAYS!!!!!" while knowing what was going to happen to that pair specifically

shut the fuck up man i'm in fucking tatters about them (relatively non relevant gay couple in a children's manga)

[caffernnn]

thanks for tagging me @celesteeal !!! 🫶🏻✨ (gotta jump on this before I forget oops)

favorite color: greeeeen 🫒🐊🌿 love me a good green. also partial to the other cool colors and browns, although deep oranges and ochre/honeyed yellows have been calling out to me lately!

last song: ��all i know” by nightlife 🕺🏻

last movie: family wanted to watch the matrix trilogy recently, so I’d say the first matrix was my last movie iirc!! (It’s hard to actually sit and watch anything with my family, so I caught some of the second and third movies while they started them ~without me~)

currently reading: a few different things!! The library has a summer reading challenge going, so I’m trying to get back into the swing of things 😅 out of the library books I have checked out, the ones I’d say I’m actively reading through rn are “Beloved” by Toni Morrison and “Care Work” by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. I also have perpetual holds on “Unmasking Autism” by Devon Price and “In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love” by Joy James that loop back around to me every other month, so hopefully I get a few essays or chapters farther in those before my holds lapse again 🏃🏻‍♀️ OOH AND MANGA STUFF: I’m almost at the end of my library’s physical collection of Blue Exorcist (they stop at v13, so we’ll see how far we get into the Illuminati arc), and I check on new chapters of Sakamoto Days as translations become available.

currently watching: sibling bonding time is anime time, and we’ve been watching dunmeshi and demon slayer. Recently we finished bocchi the rock as well. Uhh, otherwise? I watched Tale of the Nine-Tailed and The Victim’s Game (first seasons) pretty recently. Idk, I’m inconsistent with keeping up with shows, even though my list of watch-laters keeps getting longer

currently craving: I keep seeing tteokbokki pop up (previously mentioned kdrama, random youtube shorts, “I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki” memoir) and I just want to tryyyyy iiiiit. So I’d say that or some good yakitori or something 😩

tea or coffee: I don’t drink either with any real regularity, so I’m kinda open to either at this point. Maybe tea? I got to try some cajun stuff this week (jambalaya and cornbread my beloved) and had sweet tea with that, if that counts for anything!

tagging (no pressure) @sage-nebula @reikunrei @lithopsy @tonfea @shenyaanigans @roses-and-nightingales @ahobbitincamelot @shounenlord-sama @criticalgay @suhmayzooka and anyone else who wants to join!!
