#when snk is over I wanna catch up on bnha

[hokusu]

jdfhg;seghjr I can't remember the last time I actually kept up with an anime that was airing. I try every season there's something I want to be watching but I always end up falling behind... and don't even get me started on keeping up with giffing stuff lmao it's been years since I've been able to do that. I remember having a lot of fun when I was able to keep up with that stuff but it's a distant dream these days haha thanks for your words of encouragement!! ❤️ I hope the same for you~ ^-^

aaaahhhhh I love Trans-Siberian Orchestra!! their "Christmas/Sarajevo" song is one of my faves~ I also really like "Wizards in Winter"! hmmm I don't know if I have a favorite xmas song, I love too many of them haha I have a whole playlist~ what about you, do you have any favorites? and yeah typically I do get a white Christmas! this year, it started snowing mid-November I think? I really do love snow and watching it fall and stuff but driving in it is a paaaaain. do you get them where you live? and are you a Christmas decorator? my family and I have always been huge into decorating, it's a big part of the season for me!

you have some great faves!! SNK and HQ!! are definitely up there for me too~ I don't know if I could ever actually get into One Piece just because of how long it is hegr;oasergh I know people are always like "take it slow!" and "read a little bit at a time!" but I honestly don't know if I'd be able to commit to it lmao

thank you for going so deep into your love for dabihawks!! I've always thought they made a really dynamic pair but you honestly brought them into a whole new light!! also AMEN about Hawks views being skewed!! I have seen so many bad takes about his character and so many people are so ready and willing to absolve other characters of their sins before trying to accept Hawks all because he killed Twice... like I've always really liked the LoV and thought they're really well-written and fleshed-out characters, but some fans out there who drag Hawks' character through the mud all because of what he did, going so far as to say he "wasn't acting like a hero" despite the fact that he was fighting for his own life against a VILLAIN who has done VERY BAD THINGS, and then go on to glorify Shigaraki?? I love Twice and I love Shigaraki but Hawks deserves so much better and I cannot tell you how much his mischaracterization gets under my skin...

I can't say I've been a HUGE Dabi fan, I mean I've always really liked him and I think he's always been my fave of the League, but I've never spent a whole ton of time delving into his character. but he's really started growing more on me recently! same with Hawks actually, back when he was first introduced I was kinda like "oh yeah he's cool and stuff" but nothing really stood out to me, but over time I just really started appreciating him more and he's definitely one of my faves now! honestly, I'm quite behind on the manga (although I've been keeping up with major story developments via tumblr lmao) but I think Dabi and Hawks are one of the bigger reasons I want to get caught back up... Bakugou has always been a fave of mine and his character development still really stands out to me and I think it's some of the best in the series, and I also really love Midoriya and All Might and honestly the relationship between those three has always hit a real soft spot for me.

I'm trying to get back into BNHA because I do still really enjoy it and I still love the characters, but I did really fall out of keeping up with it. x_x talking about it with you is a lot of fun though!! makes me wanna go catch up right now haha

sorry again about the late response!! I'm trying really hard to be more punctual... I hope the length of my response is enough to cover some ground lmao (sorryagain) I hope you've been doing well~!! 💕

~your animanga secret santa❤️

Hello Santa!

Sorry for the later reply myself, just moved all weekend so I've been so tired 😩.

Sksjdkdjd omg I feel this in my bones too lol, I wish I had half the strength other editors do with always giffing right when a new episode airs 😭. I've only been able to do that when I try really hard for my favorites lOl and even then I'm a slow editor so I'll be lucky if I finish one set hahaha. But no pressure, as long as you're having fun editing when you are able to, who cares if it's late 😅. Which animes are you trying to watch this season? 👀

Ahhh!! "Christmas Sarajevo" is also my favorite song from them and the other one is very good too. *gonna listen to their songs now* lol. Tbh, I never really put together a Xmas playlist? I'm also a fan of covers of popular songs sometimes ^^ but I usually just pull up an Xmas radio station/pre-made playlist 😅 but I should make one now that I think about it...

Omg I can imagine driving in snow is a pain, or even having to shovel it. I live in a pretty warm place so it's never snowing here unless I head to the mountains sadly haha. 🥲 But that sounds so nice to be able to enjoy a white Christmas! Decorating (and food) is my favorite part of the holiday too!

HAHA the biggest hurdle for starting One Piece, is...literally starting 😂 and that was my problem for the longest time. Once you're in there you don't really think about it being so long, the characters have so much to love and the adventure is SO good, you just hope it never ends lol. It's pretty casual to begin and it's lighthearted so its nice to just wind down with me for lol, watch like a few here and there. Until you hit the point of pure screaming bcus the plot HITS SO HARD and you just have to know what happens next!! But for me that's one of the best parts too-- being able to binge heavily and still know there's more to look forward to. :'D I started like back in June and only have like 300ish episodes left 😭 so tbh I slowed down and took a break bcus I was sad to catch up lol. If you ever just give it a try instead of thinking of it as a long commitment, you might be pleasantly surprised. 😆

But I'm happy you like HQ and SnK too!! I wonder who your favs are there? And omg please same so much, any Hawks dragging I see is a hard nope! That's one of my biggest pet peeves in bnha fandom, seeing people stan the hell out of LoV (and like I like them and Dabi is my fav too), but then to hate Hawks? No way, he's been a victim all his life too...it's not like the HPSC gave him freedom. 😭

Or when people say he has "no character arc" or call him an "abuse apologist" (even tho he was always abused too wtf?) just bcus they see him trying to help endeavor, which lol someday I'm gonna write an essay about how it speaks way more about Hawks character and how he's projecting his own feelings than it does about Endeavor...after all Hawks still thinks HE'S the one in the wrong about turning his back on his abusive parents and he still apologizes about that. 😭 Sorry I'm so passionate about Hawks and when people misunderstand him bcus they don't get that someone who was trained all their life to be a certain way with an abusive traumatic past isn't going to just wake up and change one day? I think they're not even reading the same story.

Anyways! Please if Dabi & Hawks makes you want to catch up again, hell yeah I hope you enjoy and feel free to talk to me more about it lol. This season is also very good and paralled with what's going on in the manga is just perfect. Also ooh!! I used to think Bakugou is too hyped up and I didn't get it, but his character development esp when he finally genuinely apologized to Midoriya, was really satisfying and I like him a lot now!! Can totally see why their relationships are a fav for you! :)

And aww no worries Santa, always good to hear from you when you can and sorry my replies are also long 😭, but it's been really nice to talk with you too 💛💛

Take care dear Santa 💛

i just saw your 'dabi is todoroki touya' theory from 2018 (!!) and it absolutely blew me away with how accurate it was. i think you might actually be psychic

JDKWKRKIR I actually am behind on the manga so I have no idea what I theorized actually happened or didn’t happen but that’s cool to know! Did you read my posts about the different ideas of why Touya became Dabi? I’m curious how accurate those were. I seriously need to read like how did I spend months of my life writing theories about this only to not read it when it’s confirmed lmaoo

Hi! What are the ongoing anime/manga that you are currently keeping up with?

Hello anon!

Let’s see, first of all I am obviously on pair with Snk and BSD. I am also reading Witch Hat Atelier which I am loving and which comes up monthly.

When it comes to week mangas I am currently reading Haikyuu, The Promised Neverland and BNHA, but I am reading these two last ones very superficially, so I don’t know if I can write proper analyses of them.

I have just been advised by @echo-from-the-void to try The Chameleon of Nibiiro and I am slowly catching up, but I should manage soon because it doesn’t have that many chapters out yet.

As far as anime are concerned, I have started watching Beastars following @midnight-in-town ‘s advice and it seems great so far. I wanna try watching the anime and then catching up with the manga once the season is over, but if I keep liking it and I am in the mood, I may catch up sooner.

Recently I have watched MDZS second season with @hamliet  and the animated series Carmen Sandiego and I have enjoyed them. I have also finally watched Steins Gate and I am planning to watch Steins Gate 0 soon.

I am also waiting for some news on Made in Abyss of which I have enjoyed the first season! However, I had not had the chance to catch up with the manga as for now.

These are more or less the series currently ongoing that I am watching/reading. It also happens that sometimes a series I had forgotten about pops up on my dash and that I go to catch up with it. In short, you can always ask me if I have read/watched a series!

Thank you for the ask!

I've been playing for a long time but tbh I feel like I've been stuck at the same level forever. It's not a bad thing, cause what I enjoy the most is playing the songs that I'm currently into by ear with the help of chords I find online, but sometimes I wish I could play some fancier things too. I hope that one day I'll find more energy to practice

soundtracks are great to play, especially when they come from a show you love! I used to listen to bnha soundtrack a lot when I first watched it and even though I've never seen snk I listen to its soundtrack sometimes too, sawano hiroyuki is incredible :) good luck on any future songs you choose to play!

are you watching any new anime this season? or what's the last one you've watched?

I hope that your week is going well!! — secret santa 🎅

No I get it 😭 tbh I’m the same I have a comfort zone where I’ll keep playing the few songs I do know and like. And I play by ear too, I can’t read sheet music and sometimes I’m like I wanna do improv like some people do but I can’t cause that’s way beyond me lol. So same, I do hope I get to play more complicated pieces too which I have attempted but it’s a real struggle, where I’ll get something right but just can’t pass some other hurdle in the piece. But I like to think it’s nice to even play an instrument to pat myself on the back haha.

Yeah they are both amazing soundtracks, really good for motivating me to write/study for work lol. Nothing like bnha music to keep me going :’) and yeah I’m a fan of how emotionally resonating the snk soundtrack is. Thank you!! ❤️ and you too, hope we both get to where we want with it! :)

Ohh I’m actually catching up with season 1 of Demon Slayer, hopefully I’ll get caught up with the current season soon. I’m bingeing it atm cause I didn’t expect to be so hooked in and yet here I am, crying over how amazing the visuals are and nice it is. I’m also watching Banana fish (which I’ve never seen) and Shaman King atm I’ve watched the old version and read the manga, so it’s nice to see it remade. Is there anything you are watching? :)

It’s been a good week, just enjoyed a day out I hope your day/weekend is going well! Take care 💕
