Have you ever tried a colorful macaroon? Maybe you mean macarons? I’ve never seen a macaroon with food coloring before.

Do you say macaroon or macaron? It depends on what I’m referring to because they’re two different kinds of food.

Do you know what a macaroon is? Yes, they taste terrible.

Would you rather go to Paris or London? Both sound a bit too boring of a trip for me tbh, I’d rather go to other European cities.

Which national flag do you like the best? I’m not that into flags to have a favorite...I like how Nepal’s has a unique shape, though.

Name 3 celebrities people say you look like. Lucy Hale, Anna Akana, and a local celebrity you wouldn’t know about.

^Do you agree? I never saw myself looking like Anna but that’s actually the most common one I get, so I just might not know my face all that well. The only one that’s agreeable enough with me is the last celebrity I mentioned.

Do you know anyone who looks like Taylor Swift? No, especially not on this side of the planet.

Have you ever been betrayed by a best friend? Yes but that was like back in the fifth grade. I’ve been very selective of my friends ever since.

What color is the sweatshirt that you wear the most? Black.

Do you have a mirror in your room? No. I don’t really feel as if I need it.

What was the last thing you painted? I last painted on a paint-by-numbers kit, but it’s been a while since I took up the hobby. I want to get back around to it someday, but proably not any time soon as I find it a tad bit time-consuming.

Do you correct grammatical errors online? Not other people’s, but yeah I edit my posts whenever I catch a typo or grammar error. I also edit survey questions if they aren’t in proper grammar, just so other people who’d want to take the same survey won’t have to deal with it and point it out anymore.

What’s the last thing you made out of clay? I’ve only done pottery once, and that time I was taught how to make a vase. I wasn’t able to see the end result though since they still had to bake it and everything, and I was only staying in that town for a few days.

Do you go for days without washing your hair? No, I absolutely hate that feeling. My hair starts getting itchy after a day or so of not washing it and it feels irritating, so I feel the need to shower everyday.

When is the last time you had scrambled eggs and bacon? Maybe around a week ago? It’s something my parents make regularly for breakfast, alongside other local breakfast dishes.

Do you like bacon bits on your salad? I don’t really eat salad but sure, I’ll take some bacon in mine.

What is your favorite salad dressing? See above.

What is your favorite kind of soup? Not a big soup person either. I suppose I’m most enthusiastic about miso soup, if anything.

Do you eat a lot of soup? Not at all. I don’t think I ever purposely ordered it at a restaurant either; I only consume soup if it already comes as a freebie with my order.

Do you collect Mason jars to use for crafts? Nope, was never a hobby of mine. This reminds me that I have a mason jar filled with date receipts and love notes on tiny Post-Its from my last relationship, though...I literally can’t remember if I’ve since thrown it out, but I also haven’t seen it in a while...hm. I guess I’ll try looking for it later today and throw it away if I do find it still lying around in my room.

What’s a trend that you never caught on to? Remember when I said streetwear like, literally a month ago? Lmaoooooo I’m into it now. That’s why I’ll just skip over this question HAHAHAHA I always end up being obsessed with the things I swear off in the beginning :((((

What’s a trend that you haven’t caught on to yet, but you want to? Vlogging? It’d be nice to make a video or two of my own.

Do you type fast? Very. My co-workers recently started sharing this typing speed website that we’re all free to try out and so far I’m the official reigning champion haha. No one has beaten my WPM record yet.

Did you learn to type through a computer program for kids? Yes. I never adopted the ‘standard’ finger practice though; I type only with my index and middle fingers.

How many years were you homeschooled? I was never homeschooled.

If applicable, what’s a youtuber you would love to collab with? Louise Pentland.

Do you think you’re successful in life? Not quite there yet, but I’m comfortable with the way I’m working towards it for now. It’s nice to be doing things that I know will lead to something in the future.

What color is the tree outside your window? If you mean the leaves, then green.

What color is your rug, if you have one? (not carpet, rug) I don’t have one in my room but the main one we have in the living room is brown.

What do you take for pain? I take a Biogesic pill for headaches. If I get muscle sores/strains, I rub Katinko on the spots that hurt.

Which pharmacy do you use? I never need to go to those but I can always take a drive to the nearby Mercury Drug.

Do you reapply nail polish when it starts to chip? I don’t wear nail polish at all.

What is this month’s calendar picture? I don’t use a calendar.

What was the last thing you ate? Sushiiiiiiiii. I made a very impulsive and rash decision to buy THREE ORDERS of sushi yesterday. I hadn’t eaten all day and I also had a crappy at work, and my clouded judgment thought buying 24 pieces of maki was the way to go. I’m still in the stage of trying to convince myself I deserved it anyway.

What are your favorite things to put in tea? I don’t drink tea tea, but when I buy milk tea I always go for chocolate flavors. I also don’t like pearls in my milk tea.

Do you wish the Unicorn Frappuccino was a regular drink at Starbucks? I never go for customized drinks, so I don’t care at all about this.

Is there a coffee shop in your town that���s better than Starbucks? Possibly, but I may not have checked it out yet. For now, I like buying from Starbucks.

Do you frequent any coffee shops? Back in college I used to alternate between Starbucks and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf; I’d go several times a week to either because coffee shops were the best place to study at.

What’s your favorite Lisa Frank character? I was never aware that there were characters lol. I thought it was only her.

Which Disney character looks the most like you? Raya for sure, but before her, I felt a big connection with Moana.

Did you go to Disney World or Disneyland as a kid? No, I haven’t gotten to go yet. It would be nice if my first time could also already be a trip with my own kid in the future :)

Do you live with a demon? Talk about creepy question lol. No.

Who has the best personality on youtube? Who cares? < I mean, same. I’m sure they all put up a show to some extent - I don’ think anyone would ever know the answer to this...but personally, those whose personalities I find really endearing would beeeeee Grace Helbig, Kelsey Impicciche, Kelsey Darragh, and Andrew Ilnyckyj.

What are some of your goals for this year? Stay employed, be better at my job, collect more BTS albums.

Does it feel like spring yet? We don’t have spring, so I don’t know what that would feel like.

What do you do to celebrate Earth Day? I don’t wait until April 22 to do something for the planet.

How do you celebrate Easter? I don’t.

Have you ridden your bike yet this year? I can’t ride bikes, haaaaa.

What does your bike look like? The family bike has some blue and grey on it. Not that I ever practice riding it.

What is your favorite place that you’ve lived? I like the house that we live in now. I like that we have a rooftop and that we don’t live with extended family.

Do you shop at Aeropostale? No, and I’m not sure we have Aeropostale shops here. The only reason we ever got Aeropostale items of clothing in the past was because relatives living in the States would occasionally bring home a box of pasalubong for us here in the Philippines.

What’s the last thing you wore from Aeropostale? Idk, probably a shirt. Have you ever been to a church that just wanted your money? Aren’t all churches like that? < Can agree and can confirm. My local parish has been undergoing a ridiculously extravagant renovation for years now and the thing is that the renovation is meant to be so fucking fancy they clearly can’t afford it, so they’ve been pooling money from churchgoers for years now as well. When we could still physically attend mass I used to keep myself from laughing everytime one of the church staff would come up on the podium and ask for money again.

Who is someone you are struggling to forgive, if applicable? I don’t struggle to forgive. I just don’t forgive. If someone does me wrong I just do my best to block them out of my memories, get into the mindset that they never existed, and live peacefully from there.

Have you ever had someone try to intentionally bully you to suicide? I don’t think so, at least not intentionally. My mom always did it unintentionally though, especially in my tween and teen years. She was always very harsh with her words and actions (she still is, but we don’t butt heads as often anymore). I didn’t have a very good emotional foundation mainly thanks to her and I had to claw my own way to get to be the much more stable self I am today.

What’s your favorite type of cereal? Sweet ones.

Who are your favorite kids that you’ve babysat? I never babysat kids outside of younger relatives.

Who is your favorite cousin? My eldest cousin from my mom’s side. I’ve always viewed him more as a brother than a cousin since we did live under the same roof for nearly a decade before my family moved to our own home.

Does one side of your family live in another state? My family is spread out everywhere, dude. I have relatives living in another town, another city, another province, another region, another island, another country. Idk about cultures but that’s generally how Filipino families are to begin with.

What states did your parents grow up in? I’m not saying that.

Do you want kids? If yes, how many? It would be nice. I just don’t know if I’ll ever be able to find someone I would want to marry and have a family with. It definitely seems bleak, but then again I’m 23 lmao. I’m not in a hurry.

What’s a craft that you’ve seen online that you don’t think will work? Most of the shit that that 5 Minute Crafts channel or whatever they’re called puts out.

What, if anything, are you severely allergic to? Grass.

Have you ever had an allergic reaction to an insect? Nopes.

How do you react to bee stings? I’ve never been stung and I hope that never happens to me.

Is there a good hospital where you live? I’m not so sure; I don’t take trips to the hospital frequently.

What’s your favorite kind of tea to drink in the spring? I never drink tea. Never been my...cup of tea? Hahahaha.

What are your favorite biblical names for girls? Elizabeth and Eden.

…for boys? Luke, Noah, Jacob, Seth.

What color nail polish do you usually wear in the spring? Again, I never put on nail polish.

What’s your favorite color that you’ve dyed your hair? I haven’t tried dyeing my hair either :( It’s something I want to explore, though.

Do you ever eat ice cream in the winter? We don’t have winter but yeah, I’m not opposed to having ice cream when the climate is on the cooler side.

How often do you wash your sheets? Every month or so.

What was the name of the biggest bully in your high school? No one got away with pulling that kind of shit in my old school.

^Did everyone hate her/him? -

^Were you his/her target? -

Do you know what time you were born? 10:30 AM, I believe. Do you like McDonalds? I'm gonna be real: I've never understood the McDonald's hate. I enjoy it perfectly fine.

Have you thought about joining the military? FUCK no. Who is the person that has impacted your life the most? Given my PTSD, I think it's pretty obviously Jason. Have you ever had a pet fish?

I have been DYING for a new one lately... How did your parents meet? Work. What was your first word? "Dada." Do you eat more healthy food or junk food? Somewhere in the middle, I'd say. What do you spend too much money on? When it's my own money, tattoos. I think I'll be perfectly capable of doing it, but when I'm employed, I'm going to have to watch how much I invest into those. What is a disturbing episode of an otherwise non-disturbing show? What is a disturbing show (or one you would describe as one) is enjoyable to you? Meeeh I don't watch enough for this. What is the most memorable song in a movie? How about a show? Oh wow, I dunno. "Circle of Life" from TLK is a beauty, as is "Strangers Like Me" from Tarzan. There really are a lot. As for shows, "Carry On My Wayward Son" from Supernatural will immediately get fans screaming the lyrics, haha. However, I don't know if that song properly counts since it wasn't written just for the show, but whatever. What is something you’re grateful for that humans have made/have continued to make exist? What about something that you wish that humans didn’t destroy? The Internet, whew. I wish humans would stop destroying the fucking environment. It's heartbreaking how many woods are wiped away here for construction, only to never be built on... While evil men are commonly talked about, what woman would you consider the most evil? I don't know, but it would probably be a rapist or pedophile. Those are probably the people I abhor most. Do you believe children can be evil?

It can be depressing sometimes, actually dragging your mood down, especially if you already feel low. What has been one of the most blatant advertising in a movie, show, or music video? Some of these questions are hard man, idfk lol. What book have you read/listened to that “messed you up” (or made you have a lot of negative feelings afterward)? Johnny Got His Gun left me feeling so spiteful towards and disappointed in the world. It definitely made me feel down for a while. If you have a pet, what is the best thing that you have for them (either a toy, a highly rated food, etc)? If you don’t have one but would like one, have you thought about what you would get your pet? We definitely don't have the money for "high quality" stuff. What works, works. Did you ever know anyone who was (previously) a part of a cult? What cult? Were you ever a part of one? No. What is something that is legal right now that really shouldn’t be? I'm stealing the previous person's answer by saying fireworks. They have a horrible effect on animals and PTSD victims and is just litter and a fire hazard. What is a movie you consider successful/good that did not have high reviews? I'm not educated enough on movie rankings. When you met the person you now like, what happened? We hugged and cried a bit lmao. Did you realize anything today? No. What do you want to do today? It'd be nice to get off my ass and get Emerson's birthday pictures into Lightroom so Ashley can finally have them... Can you honestly say you’d risk your life for someone else? I know with certainty I would for some people. Could you forgive a boyfriend or friend who physically hurt you? Ha, nope, byyyyeee~ What’s the cutest thing someone’s ever done for you? Ugh... So one night when I was lying down to go to bed but also texting Jason, I was being playful and joked for him to sing me to sleep. He sent me a video for "The Mortician's Daughter" by Black Veil Brides (one of his favorite bands) and just pasted the lyrics, and I thought it was the cutest fucking thing ever. I went to bed listening to it and just smiling. It's why I just don't listen to it anymore. I shouldn't have even talked about it, soooo next question. What are the top five places you wish you could go before you die? Ummm South Africa, Yellowstone National Park, Germany, Alaska, and the Bahamas, maybe. How many tattoos would you like to have? I'm gonna be a fuckin mural. I want tats pretty much everywhere. What question do you hate to answer? "What do you like to do for fun?" What's your favourite animated or cartoon program? Fullmetal Alchemist. What do you think the greatest invention has been? Electricity. What's your favourite movie quote? I dunno, I don't really have one. Do you prefer digital or analogue clocks? Analogue clocks are way more elegant and can be beautifully decorated. Who is your favorite foreign singer/musician? Do you translate his or her lyrics? If you exclude English-speaking foreign bands, like from the UK, Rammstein for sure. I can translate some of them. Say something in a foreign language? "Liebe" means "love" in German. What is a weather-type that you like that not many others do? Snow, for sure. I've never understood the "ew, snow" type of people. It's so pretty. Granted, it's rare here, so it's more of a treat down here, but still. Who do you know personally that has a nice singing voice? Sara has a beautiful voice. What was the last word you learned? I have no clue, given how bad my memory is becoming... It's hard for me to learn anything nowadays, because it doesn't stick. What is your favorite culture? (that you find most interesting): I'll be honest, I'm not very well-informed on foreign cultures. Due to taking so many classes though, I do find German culture to be quite appealing. They are very serious about honesty (for example, telling someone you're okay when you're not is frowned upon in small talk, even), as well as manners. I would love to experience their lifestyle. Have you ever watched anime porn? I've never watched porn to begin with. If you got paid $3 million to smoke meth one time would you do it? Nope. I'm not risking addiction or death. Are ladybugs cute? Yesssss. Will you leave the house without fragrance on? Yeah, I usually do. Do you make good money doing what you do? I'm unemployed. I've only ever worked minimum wage jobs.

What about a dirty song in any other genre? "Bitches" by Hollywood Undead MIGHT be rap, but idk? What even is their genre???? But anyway, as much as I love the song, it's dirty as shit. What is a genre of music you simply can't stand? Rap, generally. What is, in your opinion, the best way of dealing with a break up? Lots and lots of self-care and focusing on loving yourself and realizing your worth lies in yourself and not another person. What flavor of Doritos do you like best? Cool Ranch, of course. Would you ever go to a comedy club? Yeah, sure. Why is it that photography is becoming a trend? Because it's art, and people enjoy art???????? What is the funniest movie you have ever seen? White Chicks gets me way harder than it should lmao. Would you ever consider dating someone who lived across the country? I guess, so long it was the plan that we'd eventually move in together, and effort was being made to achieve that once we got pretty serious. Do you have a tattoo? If you do, describe the pain you went through when getting it done. Well, I have six, so I'll just talk about my first one, which was on my wrist. It really isn't bad, especially once you've adjusted to the pain. I think the best metaphor would be that it's like lightly pinching a cat scratch. Outlining is the worst part, imo. What is your favorite bookstore? I don't have one. Who was the last person to tell you that you were cute? I have no idea. When was the last time you had a fever? How high did it go? Oh, I couldn't tell you. Those are very rare for me. How many times do you think that you’ve truly been in love before? With who? Twice, with Jason and Sara. Do you prefer French kissing, or regular kissing more, and why? I mean, this depends on the mood as well as how serious we are. Have you ever been married before? How many times? No. Who do you know that gives the best hugs? Summer has always been a big, strong hugger like I am. Have you ever dated someone of the same gender before? Yeah. Who do you consider to be your hero? My mom. Who is your best friend? Tell us about them. Sara. She's a very caring, strong, creative, just overall amazing person who stands firmly for what she feels is right, and we can't forget about her incredible loyalty, nor her absolute adoration for animals, reptiles especially. How much did your car cost? I don't have my own car. What is the last picture you received on your phone of? Sara sent me a photo of Martha, her ball python. Do you have any friends that actually model? No. Do you keep condoms in your room? No, considering I have no reason to. Do you follow any special diet? (dairy free, vegetarian, gluten free etc.) No, but I desperately want to return to being vegetarian. Vegan would be even better, but I know I'm absolutely not capable of that. What is an appliance you don’t have, but would love to have? uhhhhh Which keys on your keyboard are worn out the most? My "a," "s," and "d" from gaming. If you could be any supervillain, which would you be? Ha, I could probably pull off Harley Quinn pretty easily. Though "super"villain sounds a bit strong for her. What’s the most historic thing that has happened in your lifetime? Either Covid or 9/11, probably. What’s the scariest non-horror movie? I personally think the idea behind Johnny Got His Gun is fucking terrifying. What’s the most amazing true story you’ve heard? More beautiful than "amazing," but whatever. I can't think of anything else. Jason's mother actually left his father to go back home to New York when he cheated on her, but he followed her all the way there, and they wound up reconciling and were very happily married since. They were a spectacular couple, and I miss them a lot. What brand are you most loyal to? I have no idea. It's hard to be loyal to any when you're not the one buying products. Where are you not welcome anymore? Well, speaking of him, probably Jason's house, haha... I feel that if I just showed up there, his parents would honestly be super happy to see me and want to catch up, but Jason, not so much. I doubt Colleen would welcome me into her house, either. What’s the most recent show you’ve binge-watched? Avatar: The Last Airbender w/ Sara. What’s a common experience for many people that you’ve never experienced? Just... adult stuff. Paying bills. Having a stable job. Passing their driver's test. What are some misconceptions about your hobby? We'll use forum roleplay here, in which case I know a very common misconception is that it's sexual in nature and is a kink. It's never been that for me. It's about building unique, complex characters in a vast universe of your creativity, meshing with other's. It's a beautiful thing to me. What’s the dumbest thing someone has argued with you about? Oh, I'm sure something with Mom... because she is absolutely never wrong. What’s the longest rabbit hole you’ve been down? Conspiracy theories on YouTube, aha... What odd smell do you really enjoy? I really enjoy the smell of lilacs, though I know people who think they smell too strong and/or just stink. If you had a HUD that showed three stats about any person you looked at, what three stats would you want it to show? Hm, interesting question. Maybe approachability, moral alignment, and mood. What is your favorite flavor of pop tart? I really like the chocolate sundae ones. Gum? I really like fruit-flavored gums, especially watermelon or strawberry. Last song you sang along to? I sang a bit to "Second Chance" by Shinedown. Are you fascinated by rivers? Yeah, sure. Streams, more specifically, because you can see the bottom and walk more safely in them. I love exploring those. Do you live near a volcano? No, and I plan on keeping it that way, haha. How big is the screen on your digital camera? I dunno, the normal size for a Canon? Do you find train whistles comforting? No. What bird is the cutest? Oh, that's so hard. I love the pastel-colored ones, and hummingbirds are like, universally cute. Are you scared to look at your own organs on x-ray or ultrasound? No, that's actually really cool. Do big eyes freak you out? On people? Generally, no. I tend to find them cute, actually, especially on girls, but I've definitely seen people with big eyes that instead look kinda creepy. Have you ever walked on a frozen lake/river? Hm, I'm actually not sure. I don't believe so, though. Have you ever held a real sword? No. Have you ever seen a tree over 100 years old? Uh, realistically, probably? That's not that old in the grand scheme of trees, is it? Do you feel uncomfortable at fancy restaurants? I can sometimes, yes. I feel very out-of-place.

Saekano, left me with a feeling I haven't felt in a long time

Sozz, this Anime's left me which includes a feeling I never have felt in many years, so to obtain it our of the best way I may as well write a assessment...

I'll be honest I enjoyed Saekano's first season, not if its "masterful" account telling and precisely what not but as a result of how self knowledgeable of the show, the writers and an extent quite possibly the characters independently. Besides the persistent reference and indulgence in various well worn together with tested troupes, the main season managed to produce itself with some sort of cheeky and type of campy fashion i personally really really enjoyed. Therein lies my own main gripe along with the second season: that change in develop.

while the switch of tone doesn't really are generally a big deal in the beginning, the "more serious" & "dramatic" develop the show assumes while simultaneously sculpting down its even more playfully pseudo self-aware digs with itself left people feeling very bitter. Having just because of a rewatch in the first season, as i held the anticipation that. flat would be more in the same. While these might simply be described as a personal grievance, the change with tone does affect the complete presentation of that plot. While melodramatic confrontations may not be exclusive to. flat, the expectations I held that characters had grown from them previous dramatic assaults (or more properly characters arcs) in the first season departed me a great deal bit annoyed. You'd think that will Eriri and Utaha can have straightened up their own resolves so their personal issues with Tomoya wouldn't arrived at bite them inside ass when you need it, but guess precisely what, it does come back like unnecessary melodrama. their respective arcs this coming year leave much to remain desired and while it usually is unfaithful as a primary adaptation, I'd favour them cut out all in all so. flat would have an overabundance of episodes to covers the *spoilers* transition in the first generation with blessing software to another one after each of those Eriri and Utaha give. Besides that, it can be made very obvious (heck its quite possibly brought over in the first season) that Kato is a main girl (or what's say heroine) in the show. That's fine and all in the beginning, but the article winter comiket play with kato didn't really training because Kato typically played a accommodating role. While this does not discount her claim to become gradually attached to help blessing software, dealing make her change rather unnoticed. Then when she does really directly tell Tomoya (and that viewers) of the woman's attachment to great thing software, it can come of (at at a minimum to me) since somewhat rushed, I mean they are able to have made the woman's drop more heavier hints at minimum. What more, this further amplifies the challenge of the characters "telling and not showing", this problem bit Eriri inside ass in the main season (her episode at Tomoya not necessarily appreciating her efforts on her behalf behind the scenes efforts) but it surely appears to don t you have been entirely permanent in. flat. Although. flat attempts to help tackle more "serious" themes which include creative differences, innovative dissatisfaction, they way people dragged its sending around has me prefer they will stuck to that meta humour in the first season

I still possess a bunch more grumbles but this wouldn't be described as a review (i employ that term very lightly) I don't touch on other issues with the show, so lets access with it.

One thing Let me quickly point out is a distinction between art work style and cartoon. I appears in my opinion at least that a large number of reviews don't take these into consideration and unintentionally mush these up into that clusterduck umbrella words "art". OK let's bring back to Saekano. The art work style is smart and dynamic, along with the colour pallet in the show utilising more pliable shades of lightweight purple, beige and a lot of other deeper colours for any backgrounds mainly and also other uses. The character expression are rich and be wise to convey the moods in the various characters very well, notably Eriri's even more comedic expression to speak about shock, annoyance together with fluster. Character designs are generally appropriately distinct using (as the reveal notes) Eriri's short-term stature and orange twintails, Utaha's busty together with tall stature, Tomoya's nerdy laid-back attire and glasses and Kato's medium height and not enough distinct features serving nearly as good denominations towards their own individual character archetypes. backgrounds typically are quite several and well comprehensive, with the conditions of certain scenes bluring the backdrop or having backgrounds without sufficient outlines providing as minor frustrations. The animation is usually exceptionally smooth as is usually to be expected of A2, constant animation frame rates encourage the for character movements trend buttery smooth, with little fall in quality watering hole certain scenes inside third last occurrence. The camera angles possess a notable penchant for concentrating on the lower portions (that may be to say the yummy asses and thighs) in the female cast at the time of more 'fanservicy' lusty scenes.

Pardon people, but I didn't really love the sound in any respect. I'm not some sort of native speaker nor must have any fundamental grasp of conversational Japanese nevertheless sounds of the osts along with the opening and finishing themes weren't everything fantastic. If I saw it anything to protest about, it is a inclusion of Michiru together with Izumi, they pratically fade or sporadically show up and. flat mainly revolves in the Kato, Eriri and utaha which means that their inclusion inside opening sequence is quite baffling. Voice acting selection their characters appropriately though it can be endearingly hilarious to hear Matsuoka Yoshitsugu (Tomoya's seiyuu, your dog also voiced Kirito together with Izumi from SAO together with eromanga respectively) shriek.

That characters suite their own archetypes rather properly, with the exemption of Iori together with Akane getting with my nerves rather then leaving an threatening impression (maybe we were looking at designed to end up annoying but As i digress). You'd feel that the cast can have grown a tad bit in the drama in the main season and it seems that they did, not to the extent I might deem satisfactory. Tomoya can be a objectively a considerably dolt, irresponsible together with dense protagonist. The place it not with regard to his passion, additional members of Great thing software or Deus Ex boyfriend or girlfriend machina, the doujin job they embarked on will need to have rightfully crashed together with burned on several occasions. i get that will that's what their character type is said to be like and some may find his flawed character to remain an appeal, but personally I bought so annoyed with him being a really weak protagonist because he never change substantially. They fact that will Utaha and Eriri left afre the wedding because he don't push them more than enough (even though their pushy attitude caused them a ton of problems in the main season) just looked like it so disrespectful. If you take anything principles of substantial benefits from Saekano, it's that miscommunication together with keeping vital secrets within a collaborative effort will ultimately trigger failure and passing. with all this is said, the friendly banter together with fawning over Tomoya relating to the cast members has been mildly cute together with enjoyable.

A fair alerting to viewers in the first season: do not expect it being a one-to-one replica in the first season, it can be more drama serious. Maybe I went it along with the wrong mindset, IDK, but something deep inside me felt extremely uncomfortable along with the way it lost. It clearly ends off for a point where the brand new arch of changing blessing software starts out, an uncannily covered cliffhanger to trick viewers into investing in the books. And they are not wrong to undertake it, that's what modern Anime are: glorified campaigns to push booklet sales. Its that the amalgamation and the flaws and changes in the first season departed the me that will waited with baited breathe for just two years utterly frustrated, and if everything I wished As i never watched the idea. It's far with being terrible and bad, but I'm just merely disappointed with the best way it panned available. Not angry, thrilled or sad, simply so so frustrated

Thx very considerably for reading. It's my primary review and May possibly lots more to speak about and correct, but my wrists and hands feel pretty numb now so I'll cease here.

Hair in L.E.S to DYE For: Interview Hairstylist: Tsunamimami

"Be young, be free and live life fearlessly.  What motivated to pursue this interview is my love for people who love who they are. How could you not appreciate someone who is completely themselves 100% of the time.  This interview with hair maven Zoe is a miniature reflection of how she has built a cult following through being herself and working HARD.  Zoe's work is easily identified with her vibrant blend of colors and clean but yet eye catching aesthetic. If haven't colored your hair looking at this body of work you might want a change." - Pepper.B

Tell me a little about yourself:

Uhmmm shit. This statement is always hard for me. I really don't know what to say about myself that could really make me seem fake interesting. I'm 25. I am a full time Hairstylist/small business owner. Born and raised in the Lower East Side. of New York City. Two years ago I decided to quit my job and work for myself and my career has flourished ever since. I love to travel. When I'm not traveling I'm at home with my cat Salem. I'm an artist, Psychopath, Witch, Aunt, Pretty good cook and Game of Thrones enthusiast.

Was being a colorist your dream job?

No, idk what my dream job was, Shit idk what my dream job IS.

How did you narrow coloring as the type of hair you? 

It just happened by mistake. I used to just play around and color people's hair for free. I like to paint so I applied what I learned in art school and such. Then i started getting noticed for it so I had to learn how to do it the "proper" way. I asked my friend Roxyy for a lot of help. She showed me a lot of the things I know and I just applied my own style. Ultimately I became really good at it. I treat each client as my canvas and I just make art.

What is the best and worst part about being self-employed? 

Let's start with the worst, when you work for yourself or freelance in general. People do not take you seriously. It's annoying and rude as fuck. People swear you aren't professional and because I work from home I can bend over backwards take people at all hours. Do crazy amounts of work for nickels and dimes. That shit is annoying, but once u learn to deal with that and put your foot down there really aren't any more complaints. I LOVE working for myself. I make my own schedule and literally just do whatever the fuck I want. 

  What’s your least favorite hair trend currently? What’s your favorite? 

 Least favorite hair trend would have to be multicolor hair with colors that don't mesh well, there's no reason you should have purple roots with orange hair it just looks trash it ain't different it's trash. 

Favorite, color melting. I love a good color melt. Also metallic hair!

What’s the biggest misconception about you? 

That I'm a bitch, or I have an attitude. I'm actually one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. I just keep it real as fuck, and a lot of people can't handle that. People want you to sugarcoat shit and that's not something I do.

What drink do you order at the bar?

Jameson Ginger, light ice with a lime wedge. 

Do you have any tips for protecting your hair after being colored:

coconut oil and protein treatments. They'll deff save your life. I like Aphogee's 3 step treatment or Aveda's Damage Remedy Intensive moisturizing treatment. GAWDLY. 

What’s the biggest misconception about you? 

That I'm a bitch, or I have an attitude. I'm actually one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. I just keep it real as fuck, and

  If you could have any other profession what would it be? 

I took theater for three years in high school, I wanted to be an actress so bad. I almost joined a company too, but my shitty teenage attitude fucked me over. I'm actually also really shy and have major stage fright lol, but that woulda been cool. 

     I also considered being an art teacher, a parole officer for juvenile delinquents or a zoo keeper lol 

What’s the most meaningful take away you had doing hair in 2016?

That If you want it, you gotta go out and get it and work hard to keep it. Crying and pouting won't get you anything, and it's ok to make mistakes you can't always be perfect.

If you were a nail polish color what would you be and why?

Black, because it goes with everything just like me. I go with everything. Lol

Favorite childhood hobby?

When I was younger I used to read. Read, read, read. I read a book a day. My favorites were Cam Jansen books. She used to solve mysteries with her photogenic memory and I can deff relate. I NEVER forget anything my memory is too bomb. 

Who is your muse?

I don't think I have a muse lol, but I will say. I get a lot of ideas from movies that I watch. I'm a big movie person I love film. I've deff seen more movies than your average person. I'm always taking notes and getting ideas from old films. Like ouuuuu I wanna do this on someone's hair. It could be the colors on someone's skirt to the curtains in someone's room.

One quote you live by?
