Ok here are all of my thoughts, questions, comments, etc about Stars Align

This might be messy sorry lmao I'll try to keep it organized tho (Spoiler warning)

So starting off, I wouldn't have minded if they did this but I'm glad that Maki wasn't always cold and reserved (again I wouldn't have minded). It was refreshing to see him smile, laugh, and enjoy his time with the team. You can tell that he loves all of the people on the team and its fun to watch.

Also, I am pretty concerned about Maki after watching that ending. Yeah his father is a major piece of shit and I fucking hate him but I hope Maki didn't kill him. I just don't want anything bad to happen to Maki. Like all of the boys, I hope they get a hug and happiness.

So, Toma's brother brought up that they have another brother but where is he? Did he move out? How old is he?? From a passing comment it doesn't seem like this other brother wants anything to do with them judging by the fact that we never see him, but I could be way wrong.

I really do hate Toma's mother, he's done nothing wrong and she hates him for no reason. She compares him to his brother but they are not the same person! And she hates him for that?

Speaking of Toma and Maki, from the tribute video that they dropped, it looked like they had a falling out :((( Maybe they become rivals, I kinda hope it becomes a Free! situation where Rin and Haru started out as friends when they were young, then became rivals, then became friends once again. I would be happy if something like that happens with Toma and Maki because they were such great friends but what happened?

Ok on the topic of rivals, I really liked that the rivalry with Oji was also really fun to watch because it wasn't like they had to have their rivalry on 100% of the time. Like they really enjoyed having him around during the BBQ and they even kinda cheered each other on (if they could) during the tournament. They even let him be apart of their hype ritual!

I feel that Rintaro definitely has good parents, at least from what we've seen. They really do care about their son and want what's best for him. I do also hope that Rintaro gets to meet his birth mother if he wants to and I hope she's good to him.

With Rintaro, I understand him feeling like he isn't good enough and he failed as the vice president. I mean it did seem like Maki took over his job and I wish that we got to see them talk about this issue and come up with a middle ground.

I also thought that Shingo's parents weren't that bad either, maybe a little overprotective but not as bad as some of the other parents. It seemed that they really cared about their children's safety, especially, their daughter (obviously lmao she's like 4).

I feel like Maki's mother did a great job honestly, she seemed like one of the best parents and it has to be very hard for her to be in a situation like that. But it seemed like she did a pretty good job.

The only other set of good parents imo is Taiyo's parents, they seemed like they were pretty supportive, even if they thought their son wasn't a great player at the time. Yeah maybe they went about the responsibility thing a bit wrong, everyone makes mistakes and they seem to try and correct themselves after he stood of for him and Nao. They still didn't have a problem with him playing even if Taiyo's pair didn't win.

Everyone else's parents fucking sucked, I do not need to get into why lmao.

I'm going to be completely honest, but at first I didn't like Soga and Ameno but they quickly grew on me! I was pretty sad that Soga couldn't play in the tournament. Him and Shingo worked so hard only for it not to happen, but at the same time they really did help Nao and Taiyo with their confidence which I think is important.

Speaking of Nao, in the tribute video we see that his knuckles are bruised and bandaged, which makes me wound what could have happened. Obviously something wrong is going on and I wanna know what! Let my boys be happy pls :(

I also want to mention that the art style is fucking gorgeous! And omg the representation is fantastic holy shit!!! Yu is non-binary and the show explicitly says it, which I haven't really seen done in an anime, especially a sports anime. I actually have some LGBT+ headcannons for some of the characters lmao

I think this is all I'll say for rn, this is already really long slkdjf I hope this made sense!

#stars align #hoshiai no sora #gods this anime was so fucking good #Im practically begging people to watch it #it really deserves to get finished #i didn't know where to put this #but Mitsue deserves as much happiness as the boys do #and I really hope she becomes a great and world renowned artist #I also love her friendship with yu #rider is speaking!

When you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 5 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)❤️❤️❤️

To be honest I don't have the best of self esteem. Self esteem is something I really lack and it has been lacking since forever ago ; w;)b

But since this is non-negotiable, I'll be nice to myself so here we go

1) My Art

I'm still my own worst critic but I'm proud of myself in how far I've come. Recently went through all my old art and it really put into perspective in where I am now compared to 2012 me. But every now and then I look at some of the stuff I did in like 2020 and am still proud of some of the stuff I did. I definitely think I can still improve and learn more but I think child me would've been fucking hyped to see my art now.

2) My boba tastes

Sounds really weird but I've had a few friends ask me for reccomendations when we go to Gongcha and they've all enjoyed my recs. Even my Chinese asf mum approves of it so yeah. I may have shit taste in maybe everything else but I still got superior taste in boba tea 😤

3) Being Bilingual

My Chinese still sucks ass but I'm glad I can speak enough Chinese to hold a conversation and help people. Plus, it's also a really good way to talk shit about someone who is in the exact same room as you. Still anxious asf to use it in public tho but that's a different story.

4) My ability to learn (most) things quickly

I generally can learn most things relatively quickly whether I'm learning it myself or I'm being taught how to do whatever I'm learning. I've been a pretty fast learner in a lot of things (aside from maths, chemistry and DAWs to name a few). Taught myself a few things like how to cast off a knitting via YouTube. Taught myself to draw and still teaching myself new things to name a few. Still predominantly self taught in art to this day :)

5) My brain

Gonna get this out the way. I'm not the traditional "booksmart". Never liked academics. Sucked at academics and certainly didn't help that my primary school essentially set me up for failure. Not even smart in the slightest tbh. I'm very much dumbass to the max and I'm absolutely fine with that. I literally joke about being so head empty.

But I do like my brain for the amount of bullshit it consumes and my brain can literally visualise anything as well as visualise a sound. If you told me to imagine an apple and then told me to imagine someone taking a bite out of that apple, I can visualise the object and visualise the sound of someone taking a bite of that apple. I think it sorta stems from my artsy background.

But it is also a double edged sword bc I can then visualise and hear the most cursed videos in my head if it's cursed enough to stick to my brain. That or if someone told me to imagine polystyrene rubbing against each other and squeaking, I can mentally see the exact action and hear that exact sound ringing in my ear and it makes me want to shrivel up like a prune :')

This took me all day to think about because again, idk who self esteem is. But this really made me think about what I like about myself. I think I care too much about what others have thought of me in the past that it has really warped my self perception. Even the 75 question genshin impact kin quiz which I took twice gave me scarily accurate results both times. That along with almost every uquiz I've taken during 2021.

I still struggle to not let how people see me get in the way but it's still really hard to not overthink that every time. But it does help that I have amazing friends online and irl that I can be myself 100% unapologetically and this hellsite where I'm not forced to keep up a certain facade :)

#inbox #fren stuff ❤️#Sorry the end got a tad bit depressing #But genuinely this ask really made me think abt that stuff I know I'm good at and it made me feel better abt myself #Even if it is by a little bit #Didnt think I needed that ask till now so ty for sending it through! <3

~ Relationship Headcanons with baKagami Taiga ~

a/n: BOOYYYYY have I been feelin' lonely lately sO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS 🤩 some fluffy headcanons about my man hehe a lot of these are prolly just things that I WANT in a relationship but more specifically with Kaga-Dummy so I hope you enjoyyyy !!! Also I love love LOVE IT when you reply to my posts or reblog then add your own tags it literally makes me the happiest EVER so please feel free to do so !!!

I swear this boy is secretly hella clingy like sure he doesn't LOVE pda but when y'all alone OOOOOOH it's over he is a clingy puppy GALORE

Even tho he doesn't like puppers hahah he acts like one around you

I CANT EXPLAIN WHY but I just feel IT IN BONES that this man always gets hella flustered when you unexpectedly hold his hand 🥺🥺🥺 ugh I'm such a sucker for this too

also also !! when he starts getting more confident being in a relationship he'll start grabbing your hand subconsciously like it's second nature ahHHHHH so soft so sO soft

Always excited to come home to you or call you immediately after practice or a game/tournament to tell you how it went

Even if you were already there watching, then he'll just ramble about it some more otw home 😅

This man is actually HELLA talkative but only in private hahaha he's always talking about his day to you 😊😊

Sucker for sci-fi movies idek why he just gets so hype for the plot and loves talking about it

Knows all the details to every famous conspiracy theory I swear ask him anything and he'll know

Doesn't 100% love pda but he WILL always kiss you goodbye and quickly say "love you, baby" regardless if it's in public or private

Wow he's so whipped I wanna marry this man

When you've have a long day, you always come home to flowers, a cute little card and a home cooked meal

Okay let's be honest, you almost ALWAYS come home to a home cooked meal

When he has to leave early in the morning (either for practice or an away tournament) he always leaves a sticker note on your forehead saying something like "good morning hun, see you soon <3"

Some people question why you're with him, thinking that he's some rude ass jerk who never does anything but play basketball

But yardy know Kuroko and a couple more of the guys always shut it down and stick up for you and Kagami

Omg ROADTRIPS???? I THINK YESSSS

Off key carpool karaoke !!! Cute vlogs !!! Traveling couple photos !!!

Whenever he catches you singing, he literally stops in his tracks and just stares at you in awe 🥺🥺🥺

(this actually happened to me before, not w Kagami obv, but bruh this makes ME so soft I literally wanna kms)

Complains when you take care of him when he's rarely sick but at the end of the day he actually really appreciates it (he won't say it thou, he's too stubborn)

An absolute S U C K E R when he sees you wearing his clothes liKE ??!!

Extra jersey? UM YES PLS!!!

Oversized tshirt? OF. COURSE.

His massive hoodies? I THINK Y E S

His absolute favourite is when you wear one of his jerseys over one of your own hoodies... you look so cute engulfed in his stuff like that 🥺☺️

Loves loves LOVES your hair

If you have long hair, he's always offering to braid it or try to curl it and if you have short hair, he's always tucking it behind your ear or gently combing his fingers through iT UGGGGH 😩

Okay last one since this is long but Kagami is DEFINITELY the type to always hold doors open for you or hold your school bag or bring you food at lunch or make sure you're hydrated and refill your water bottle or always bring an extra hoodie to school in case you get cold later or walk you to class and pick you up after school to walk you home

It's those small things he always does that come so naturally to the both of you (it's also what people start noticing so they stop questioning why you're with the always brooding, constantly stoic star player of the basketball team)

a/n cont'd: I love Kagami and I hope you do too ☹️☹️☹️ now excuse me as I cry myself to sleep because I don't have a real-life husband like Kagami 😭

shiratorizawa as best friends

requested by: @ratboy03

characters: tendou satori, ushijima wakatoshi, goshiki tsutomu, semi eita

warnings: none! Just pure softness

author's notes: thank u for this request bby, i rlly like to write about platonic relationships 🥺👉👈 hope you like this! Also i didn't included the other characters cuz idk all of them that much!

tendou satori

This boy as your best friend is CHAOTIC;

Remember the way he just entered Ushi's dorm? Yeah, he would do that all the time to you;

He definitely asks you to go on midnight adventures with him (to anywhere, it doesn't matter);

You guys buy mangas and read it together, on your or his room, just make sure to have some snacks;

He definitely doesn't let any person take advantage of you, he reads them and boy will be like a shadow looming from your shoulder;

If you go to his games, boy will be HAPPY, after all, you're his biggest supporter, all his plays get 100% better;

Not very touchy tho, but loves to hug you and spin you around;

He is someone you can tell ANYTHING, all the secrets that you told him will stay with him till he dies, the same goes with you;

He also really like to just pick your stuff and run, making you run after him.

ushijima wakatoshi

Honestly, being friends with him is funny;

He is just so blunt, but he also have this kinda chaotic vibes that makes him a very cool guy to be around;

He will hear you talking about things, no matter if you ramble for two hours or twenty minutes, he will pay attention and ask about stuff that he finds interesting;

He can and will carry your things, for him is something normal to do and he doesn't care that much;

If you two go out, he will insist that he pays everything, no matter if you give good arguments to why you two should split the bill, he IS paying;

Don't expect any nicknames from him, will call you by your first name and, even if you complain, he can't call you anything else;

He isn't much on touching, but if you want a hug, he will let you hug him;

Please, teach him how to smile in pictures.

goshiki tsutomu

Such an excited baby!

Going out with him is always funny, because he will want to show off something new he learned, no matter what it is;

Of course, sometimes it ends up in chaos and you would always laugh at him;

He sees Ushijima carrying the things of his best friend and he starts doing the same with you;

Also, please, go watch his games and say he looked cool, his self-esteem needs it;

Very very supportive too, definitely would be hyped to cheer for you in anything you did;

Wrap your arm around his, that's enough to get him happy;

Also, i see him being very protective of you, just like Tendou, but make it normal, he would just ask what was the person intentions;

A very cute guy to have as your friend, you're on his heart and he really loves you!

semi eita

Very calm and collected;

You can go to him for advice, he will be totally honest with you;

He probably won't carry your things often, but will give you his jacket if you feel cold;

You're probably the only person he allows to call him "Semi Semi" or another nickname without getting annoyed;

You guys hang out at lot at each other's dorm;

Study sessions always end up with music recommendations, he loves to hear what you have on your playlist;

Often comes to you to talk about his concerns, at least when they are too big and he can't handle them by himself;

Competitive af with you, but, no matter who win in the little competition between you two, he would always smile softly and thank you for the "match";

Another guy that will hear you rambling for a lot of time, he would be quieter than Ushijima, but he is definitely paying attention to your words.

#ushijima x reader #tendou x reader #goshiki x reader #semi x reader #haikyuu x reader #haikyuu headcanons #haikyuu hcs #ushijima headcanons #tendou headcanons #semi headcanons #goshiki headcanons #self insert #reader insert #hq x reader #hq ushijima #hq semi #hq tendou #hq goshiki #writing

will u still b posting a lot of warrior cat stuff tho ?

lmao i completely forgot to actually answer this ask from 2 weeks ago oops.

short answer, yes, but probably steadily not as much over time.

Longer answer, although I have honestly been considering moving away from warriors for a while, I want to emphasize i’m not talking about an immediate permanent change like “on this date I will never again mention the name of warriored cat in this household!!” I’m just talking in long term, I can’t foresee myself being so focused on warriors forever and if I manage to gather any kind of online audience, I don’t want that to be the only thing they expect. I’m sure i’ll still read a battle cat book now and again (or at least summaries) if only for curiosities sake, and make jokes about canon and w/e, but my patience with canon has been growing thinner by the year and my interest in the books is starting to feel like a weird addiction probably fueled by having a fandom to interact with that most books just don’t have. Warriors is like terrible potato chips for my brain, really addicting even though it hurts my mouth. I want to branch out into books I actually think are good, and the honest truth is that despite its occasionally good moments, overall i simply don’t think warrior cats is... good,, and I don't think it ever has been. Especially as someone who’s primary interest in fiction rests heavily on character writing, which is probably warriors weakest point. It’s comfortable nostalgia-fueled junk food, and I like junk food, but I can’t just keep eating potato chips forever especially when I already worry i’ve subconsciously absorbed bad habits from it.

Aside from posting the last chapters of my tallstar’s revenge rewrite on my other blog (sometime this week, god willing) I will say there is one rather big warriors OC-centric fic I have bouncing around in my head that I’d like to do a lot of big illustrations and writing for (maybe even make an audiobook narration for it to make it more accessible ‘cause it seems fun). I planned on making it my final “big” project dedicated to the Warrior Cats world. One last hoorah to get all the rest of my ideas out of my system, and then pivot to focusing more on original stuff. It’s a story that for several reasons can’t be converted into original fiction, so if I write it, it has to be like this. I’m going to be vague about it for now because I don’t want to repeat past mistakes of hyping it up for a long time before i’m 100% sure what the finished product will be, or if there will even be a finished product as my motivation is a fickle beast that can abandon me at a moments notice, and I don’t want to do what I did with my tallstar rewrite where i force myself to finish even when I get burned out (as glad as I am that i managed to finish such a big project, it was also really rough to write at times).

so, idk, we’ll just see how it goes. If I do write it, it will probably take a year or two if not more, since I envision it as 2-3 books (I haven't quite determined if i have enough plot for a trilogy, it could end up a duology). So it’s a ways off either way, but that would be my last phase of being super warrior cat focused, and after that project is completed, I don’t foresee myself making much notable content for the series, oc or otherwise (but...i’m not sure how much of a difference that makes, lets be real, I feel like I hardly “make content” anyway?? does the amount of canon fanart i’ve posted even break double digits? i can’t remember, it’s hard to recall wtf i’ve actually been doing here for the past 5+ years lol. Now that I think of it, I’m not actually sure what it is people follow me for. Is this place even distinguishable from every other war cat blog?? who knows, i’ve never seen myself as a reliable ~fandom content creator~ im truly just vibing)

Again, don’t expect any big immediate changes. These are just thoughts I have floating around my head. I’m not good at planning, right now all this means for all of you guys is I may also occasionally make posts about other animal stories and maybe oc animal art here and there amidst the cat posts, rather then keeping all that stuff on a separate blog.

#yarrow speaks #recent discussions about wc being problematic isnt THE reason I feel this way #but it was at least probably like a 'final straw'#in regards to all that i spent over 2 days combing through every blog and tweet thread i could find #and what i gleaned is obviously its complicated and different people have very different views on the matter #i have my own feelings after reading through it all but i dont rly feel the need to elaborate on it bc my opinion isnt important #i dont want to imply im being 'chased away' by 'guilt' or w/e bc i was already feeling this way #and i dont think running away from things with problematic elements is especially helpful anyway #it just yknow #certainly didnt help the disillusionment i already felt #wc criticism #wc negativity #long post

Hey there, Ari! 😊

watching Jongin dance is just something I could do for hours and hours without ever getting bored *^* and no matter how revealing his outfits are - he makes it never about that when he dances. never. it's just 100% expression and art. and I am so here for that. and YES that dancing/teleporting scene impressed me so much too 😱🤩

I really hope they get solo albums. both of them. I mean, a Kyungsoo album is really overdue but sometimes I feel like our Minseok is kind of underappreciated. I really hope he gets the chance to show us more of his talent now that he's back 💕 or maybe the two of them get a song together for a start? that would be nice too... ahhh so many possibilities. I hope it's at least one of these and not just SM stating the obvious that the two of them will be back very soon. -.-

my favourite solo albums... let me think... ahh this is so hard because each of them is so very unique and suits them very well. I really love the variety of genres they are able to do. Baekhyun and his R'n'B songs are just a match made in heaven - he can really pull off everything and maybe his albums will be my favourites at the end of the day when my hyping of Jongin's album has died down a bit xD (don't get me wrong. I LOVE Nini's album) simply because Baekhyun's voice is my favourite among EXO vocalists and I always feel so bad saying that, as I don't want to say I don't love the other voices with that. I would have to be deaf to say that! It's just that Baekhyun has a very very unique tone in his voice that somehow hits a spot in my brain that makes me go crazy about it a tad more than about the others. (Probably with the exception of Chanyeol, but I am really biased here, lol.) Nini did something very unique, with new, unfamiliar sounds and it's something I always have and always will fully embrace so he definitely gets 2nd place! The thing about Junmyeon's and Jongdae's songs is that I really can't listen to them all the time. I am no ballad-anti and i love calm songs but especially with Jongdae's albums I was a bit disappointed that he basically only got to sing this one type of song. which he did very very beautifully, of course, and which is probably also something many people like, but ...it somehow really wasn't for me. I would love to hear the Jongdae we got with Watch Out again... he can do so many things with his voice, so I'd love to see more a facetted album in the future - but that's just my personal preference. The same goes with Junmyeon, tho Starry Night and the entire concept of the album really blew me away.

But really, this is just my personal opinion and I am usually very careful in how to share it because it's so easy to get something about it wrong or make somebody feel uncomfortable and that's totally not what I want. That's why this part might be a bit long again (I'm so sorry)😅 kpoppies are just really sensitive about their faves sometimes, so I basically overthought this whole topic so many times - just to be prepared for these kind of questions, haha 😅😅 I love all of the boys and I am proud of everything they released by now, I don't have to especially like something to recognize the hard work behind it and its worth. so. monologue end. I hope I didn't weird you out with it 🙈 but what about you? do you have a clear favourite? Or a favourite solo song? I'd really like to hear about it 😊

Haha, I lost my shit when they casted a girl with brown eyes for the part of young Lily. It really wouldn't have been too hard to make the "eyes of his mother" thing add up but oKAY I guess. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ in general, the cast of the marauders were maybe a few years too old... this i think the actors themselves did super well in their parts. Especially Lupin! It was weird at first but for me it was very easy to get used to it because of their fitting acting.

Haha, yeah the dresses can be really cute if they are well made. But I really can't say that about the pants dudes wear 🙊 But bavarian culture throws me off a bit in general. It might be stereotype but when I think about the whole traditional clothing i just see a young girl in that dress with that wide décolleté serving litres of beer to old drunk men in ugly leather pants. Bavaria is probably the most conservative part of Germany and I'm not really a fan of their conservative views and politics. So yeah, maybe I'm very biased here again. But I would never judge somebody for embracing their traditions. as long as they are not harmful, everybody can do what they want, haha. 🙈

2 weddings? that sounds great! Especially catching up with family you haven't seen in a while. 2020 was a wild ride - I'm sure there will be lots to talk about 😁 It always makes me so happy to hear when families get along really well. You hear a lot of horrible stories of disfunctioning families, so it's always a relief to be reminded that people can be nice to each other- even if most families are definitely not picture-perfect.

My family is not too big as my mom is an only child and my dad has only one sister who doesn't have children. When we take a look at the generation of our grandparents then the family tree would get really broad because they have a lot of siblings or cousins but many of them my sister and I simply don't know personally or they are...well, dead. So it's basically just my sister, my parents and my grandparents I'm really close with.

Oh, I don't know what I can look forward to in 2021 yet! Maybe that the Covid situation finally gets better... Then there would be a bunch of concerts I have tickets for that are most likely rescheduled. 2020 kind of made it impossible for me to have specific plans for the next year, so I'll just wait and see what time will bring. I really hope travelling will be possible again soon! Are there any other events than the weddings for you to look forward too?

I hope you're weekend will be a nice one for you 😊

Stay safe!

Annonie, that was wonderfully put and you are 100% right! His dancing is pure art and when he’s dancing he is like totally and completely invested, it really is beautiful to watch.

A Soo solo album and a Minseok solo album 🥴 idk how I’ll survive that. Tho, as far as I know, Soo has a couple of acting gigs lined up for when he completes his military obligation, like the 3rd AWTG movie and that The Moon one (i believe thats what its called 🤔 can’t remember exactly) so I don’t want to get my hopes up too high. And YES 100% agree that my lil marshmallow Minnie baby IS underappreciated so I also hope he gets a little more limelight now that hes out. (❤ ω ❤) its what he deserves! But again, theres always that slight possibility that SM will let us down... again... lol

Annonie! Listen, with me you don’t have to be political lol you don’t have to worry, please say your opinions bluntly! If you feel something is shitty, please feel free to say so! If you prefer one over the other, say so! Lol trust me, you wont hurt my feelings. Theres a saying that I heard in spanish that translates to “an opinion is like the asshole, everyone has one” lol and I get and respect yours! So later on, if you still want to message me through dm and not these public asks, please feel free to say how you feel 😊 you didnt weird me out at all, I promise. That being said! Which one of Baek’s albums did you like more, City Lights or Delight? To be honest, even tho UN Village is THAT song, I prefer Delight more. I feel like its a more original Baekhyun sound and overall I like the songs that album more than City Lights. Again I normally ALWAYS struggle to pick faves askljfaf but I would say my least favorite of the Exo solos would be Junmyeon’s lol even tho I think the genre suits him perfectly and the MV was aesthetically beautiful! I just, idk, I don’t vibe well with the genre? But among my faves 🤔 Yixing’s recent album is up there. As well as Blooming Days, Delight and What a life. There are a couple of Jongdae’s songs that are always on repeat for me too.

I hadn’t realized that about Bavarian culture! Thats cool to know! In my ignorance I thought that whole look and custom was a German thing in general. Thank you for clarifying that for me! 😊

Yes Annonie! First my cousin gets married in January and then my (younger) brother gets married in March! Considering the ongoing covid situation we really don’t know how many of our scattered family will be able to come but there will still be some coming that I haven’t seen in a while, so I’m excited! Every family has their ups and downs and their white sheep and black sheep but for the most part our big family is pretty close 😊

But yeah, its hard to make plans with all this uncertainty huh? I also hope to start going to concerts next year too >:( but we’ll see what happens!

Annonie! Have you adjusted well to your new home and to school? How is everything going? Have you been able to visit home??

Hey there Ari! 👋🏻

KAI'S SOLO ALBUM IS FINALLY OUT!!! I was and I still am so hyped, haha. I really liked Hello Stranger too from the audio teasers and next to Mmmh it's really become my favourite track of the album. but the others are really really great too. Jongin did such an amazing job and he can be so proud of himself ❤🎉 Did you listen to the whole album already? Is there a song you especially like?

And the MV omg 😱💗 perfection. as expected from our performance king, really. all the different settings and how they included his teleportation powers.. I really like the whole superpower concept so I literally went crazy about this, haha. But Ari, as a Kyungsoo and Minseok biased person..... how are we feeling after this ending sequence?!?! I literally held my breath when I saw their symbols 🙊 they'll be back soon, I'm so happy 💕

oH, I think I landed a lucky guess, hehe. I just really went with my gut feeling when it came to guessing your house xD but hey, nice to know it was right 😁 but real talk: i didn't realize how young I am either before I looked up when the movies where released exactly 🙊 since I read the books in my childhood too I always felt like a part of the "Harry Potter Generation" when I am actually a whole generation later ajsbdbhd. but for real, age doesn't matter on tumblr anyway xD oh damn yes, Lupin as a werewolf was so unbelievably crappy I tend to push that memory out of my head lol, but what I really liked is that the characters looked like I had imagined them while reading in this movie. and hey the might have totally screwed up the werewolf (I don't even want to call it that, even exo's wolf mv showed us better werewolves xD), Buckbeak really impressed me the first time I watched the movie. Oh The Order of the Phoenix!! I kind of have a love-hate-relatoinship with that one because I had such struggles to get through it when I read it the first time. I don't remember how I old I was when I first read it but the book was kind of boring to me at that time. nowadays, I don't think so anymore but that's just really the impression that stayed over the years 🙊

Oh dear... the significance of Oktoberfest... somehow, people from Bavaria (the part of Germany the festival takes place in) always celebrated something in early October but the official origin is the wedding party of some Bavarian Prince 200 years ago. It actually was a horse race at first but over the years it became a festival with many more events. These days, I'm not even sure how many people actually attending Oktoberfest know about the backstory of it. It's basically just about drinking beer. Lots of it. And wearing traditional bavarian clothing and listening to traditional music. Brewing beer is a tradition Germany treasures a lot so of course it probably was also part of it in the festival's early years, just like the clothing and music, but... for real, even us Germans only know it as a drinking festival too.

Some are celebrating it for the entire time span and apparently have the time of their lives there but there are also many people (including me) who don't really get the fun of it or approve of it in any way. I'm no anti-alcohol person or something but the stories and news about it every year are just shocking and disgusting. So, I have never been there and I'm really not planning on going any time in the future. It's just... not my kind of party. 😅

Oh, it's nice to hear you had a good time with your cousin 😊 in general, your family's Thanksgiving tradition sounds like a really fun time. Being together with everybody must be a lot to take in but also really nice, especially if you didn't see some of your close family members for a while. Do you and your expanded family meet often or is Thanksgiving your date to meet and catch up on everybody?

Oh my weekend was pretty fine, I baked the first Christmas cookies with my family because it's our little ritual to do it on the first advent since my mom's childhood days ^-^ I hope you had a good start into your week too ♡

Stay safe, dear Ari!

Annonieee~~ ♪(^∇^*)

Yaaasssss Annonie! OK so OOF Nothing On Me is on REPEAT adslkfja I find it so so catchy UGH so good. Easily that one is my favorite track from the album. Mmmh and Hello Stranger are also 👌👌👌. The other songs, I had to warm up to them a little if I’m 100% honest lol but after listening to the album a couple of times I came to like them more (*^▽^*) AND EXCUSE ME BUT THE CHOREO IN THIS MV? THE VISUALS? yo leave it to Jongin. That one scene where (idk how to describe it but) hes like dancing and teleporting into little flecks DUDE its the neatest thing ever. The only thing that kind of made me laugh a lil was that whole like, futuristic cowboy thing LOL I didn’t dig that lil concept scene. but even there, that face chain?! 🥵🥵 OOF. Sexy

Annonie. ANNONIEEE. I shed LITERAL TEARS with that teaser at the end of the music video OMG (if you can even call it a teaser but ANYWAYS). WAAAH (ಥ_ಥ) WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?! ARE BOTH OF MY MEN GETTING SOLO ALBUMS SOON OMG I DONT THINK I’LL SURVIVE (❤´艸｀❤) SM BETTER NOT BE PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS. OOF I need to prepare myself for that saflaksjfkaj my body is NOT ready. But! on the topic of Exo solos, which ones are your favorite of the Exo’s solo albums Annonie? I’m curious!

If I may say, you are SO cute Annonie akfjhakjh but yes, agreed, both tumblr and HP are ageless 😊. But yes! For the most part the visuals were pretty good! (even tho, I’m not going to lie, the fact that Harry had blue eyes and not Lily Potter’s green eyes greatly bothered me LOL)(OH AND ALSO I imagined Sirius to be a lot more handsome aldkfjaslasdfj according to the book he was HOT right??!) 😅 But I kindof understand that you found the OOTP a little boring. I remember that at first I found the Goblet of Fire a little boring. Thats why I didn’t read the OOTP until way later than it came out and what do you know? I loved it 😊 lol.

Oh ok lol I was wondering if there was some deeper significance to it but I guess not! The traditional clothing is super cute tho! Atleast what I've seen in pictures 😅 not sure how accurate it is. But yeah, beer is great but weeks of beer celebration sounds a bit excessive tbh LOL

With my family that lives in Miami we do see each other pretty often and honestly we're pretty close! Atleast with the family members of my mom's side. My dad's side not at all LOL. But I do have family scattered that I don't see often... Hopefully early next year we'll be able to see some of the distant family members since there are 2 weddings happening early 2021 😌💖

What about you Annonie? Do you have a big family? And do you have something you're looking forward to next year??

#secret santa!#😊💕♥️💗💖😌
