Just realized that if there’s a Yuri!!! On Ice season 2 and they age up Yurio, there’s is 0 fs he’s giving once he realizes he’s old enough to skate mature themed routines. Welcome to Madness was wild, so imagine that times 10 when he’s an adult.

The requests in Winds of Anthos are doing the most. I understand it for the purpose of gameplay value and giving something for the player to do after beating the main storyline, but like I don’t feel like the payout is worth it?? Some requests do give you valuable stuff, don’t get me wrong. But some requests ask for A LOT for what feels like a cheap reward and it feels like a slap to the face for doing them.

It’s to the point that I low key stopped caring about the requests and just let them pile up. Like NPCs asking for gold or iron or some other type of material that takes forever to get. I feel like personally dragging them to the mines to get it themselves. Plus you have to get the material crafted which costs $$$. What about a monetary award? The shipping or selling at the shops doesn’t feel like it’s cutting it unless you sell a lot of crops or high quality stuff or expensive things.

It was an incredibly terrible, awful, horrible, and ridiculous idea.

It was so absurd it just had to work.

To be completely honest, it wasn't the best idea. The idea was made up entirely in precisely ten minutes. Nothing could be said regarding an idea that only took ten minutes. Then again, the ones who thought it up genuinely believed it could realistically work. Or at least, that was what they assumed.

The incredibly terrible, awful, horrible, and ridiculous idea began at exactly 9:45 that morning. It all started with a single letter.

If there is one thing that the Forte family was famous for, it would be the flair of the dramatics. It wasn't being dramatic enough to turn a person into a world star on the movie screen. It was the being dramatic enough that it was just simply exhausting. Skya could attest to that. She has to live with these drama queens every day.

Everything began with her Aunt Leona marching right into the dining room with ruffling, fluffy skirts and her chest held high. Aunt Leona smooths out her layers of dresses, checks her sleeves, and fixes her posture. She has a piece of paper clutched between her thin fingers and is seemingly preparing herself for a grand speech.

Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!

Everyone turns quickly towards her.

Aunt Leona bellows while making some kind of swooping gesture with a letter in her hand, "Everyone! I bring you excellent news from the Knightons!"

How would she know it's good news if she barely opened the letter? Aunt Leona always had a bad habit of saying something is good news before making sure she's right. The rest of the Fortes have a terrible habit of believing her right away before hearing what else she has to say. But that's just Skya's humble opinion.

Another loud, unnecessary 'ahem!' to bring everyone's attention back to Aunt Leona as she starts reading, "To the Forte family, I hope all is well with everyone and that you are all healthy. I am writing to you, Miss Leona, regarding your eldest daughter, Nora. I have heard positive affirmations about her stunning beauty and intelligence, so I would be glad if she were to meet my eldest son, Vance. I hope they meet and become fond of one another and, hopefully, join together in matrimony. Please make the arrangements for Nora to meet Vance sometime soon. I am thinking of Puzzle Forest at 8 o'clock in two weeks. Have her wear that beautiful red cloak I hear so much about! Let us hope for a wonderful greeting. With fond regards, Wyatt Knighton."

A total of eight people, including Skya, heard that entire grandiose retelling of the letter. She smiles politely at her Aunt Leona's irrelevant curtsy and too-wide grin as the others chatter excitedly among themselves. After all, not every day does anyone get a letter from an influential family. Especially one as powerful as the Knightons.

As the rest of the family gets more riled up at the idea of one of the members possibly getting married to a Knighton, they almost forget one tiny little thing. One thing that could mess up their plans and daydreams of riches and a lavish lifestyle.

Nora is practically missing in action, as in a no-one-has-seen-her-in-almost-a-whole-month way.

Aunt Leona vehemently denies this fact every time someone attempts to bring it up, so no one even bothers to gently let her know that her daughter is not home. The chatter endlessly discusses everyone's ideas on making the arrangement happen and what Nora should wear. It's almost admirable if it wasn't for the glaring flaw in their plans. Skya decides to wait it out until they realize they're missing one key factor in all of this: Nora.

It took nearly five minutes of idle babble for that exact problem to dawn on them.

"Wait, but what about Nora?" one of her cousins asked innocently.

Cue the dramatics.

In a flair of ginormous skirts and ruffles, Aunt Leona gasps while clutching her heart with a wide open mouth and enlarged brown eyes. Her pupils seem to have shrunken down to the tiniest dot possible. Aunt Viola literally faints while Uncle Bruce clumsily grabs her to prevent her from falling. Aunt Lydia begins to hyperventilate while fanning herself as one of Skya's cousins nearly bursts into tears. The others turned their heads so quickly to Aunt Leona that they almost got whiplash. It was all, honestly, madness.

"Oh god! Nora!!" Aunt Leona wails with horrendous lime green eyeshadow smudging and mascara running down her face in thin black ribbons.

"What do we do?" Aunt Lydia asks after calming down.

"I don't know! It's Fredrick's fault for pointing it out!" After recovering from her fainting spell, Aunt Viola points accusingly at the little boy.

Fredrick, poor thing, cries out, "But it's true! Nora isn't here! We're in big trouble if she doesn't meet Vance!"

Aunt Leona screams in frustration, "Fredrick! Not helping!"

"Maybe they won't find out?" Cora states with a sheepish grin.

Aunt Leona glowers at her for even saying anything.

Uncle Dustin, bless him, steps in with a flourish, "How about we tell Knighton to give Nora some more time before meeting Vance?"

Aunt Viola nods vigorously, "Maybe he'll be willing to wait a little longer."

Fredrick shrugs, "But how long will he wait for her to show up?"

Aunt Leona scowls at him again, "Again, Fredrick...not helping!"

"What if we have someone step in her place?" Uncle Bruce asks curiously.

Heads slowly turned to him after he made that suggestion. They stare at him as if wondering if he indeed said that. After a couple of moments, it seemed like a lightbulb lit above their heads simultaneously.

"Who would step in for her? We only have Cora and Skya!" Aunt Lydia points out.

"Hey! I have a boyfriend! I'm not doing this!" Cora rejects it immediately.

"Why should I do it? Nora and I don't look alike!" Skya states as she gestures to herself.

Aunt Leona stands up and brushes invisible dirt off her skirt.

"Skya, my dear. It has to work! You're meeting Vance at nighttime in Puzzle Forest, and you'll wear Nora's cloak so no one will notice!" She happily tells her with a victorious grin on her face.

It's true. Puzzle Forest is so dark that travelers can barely see two feet in front of them in the daytime, so nighttime will make it even harder for Vance to see her face. The only light the forest even gets is some moonlight, so it should be fine. Skya could even wear the hood to hide her face while meeting Vance.

It sounded really terrible.

Awful.

Horrible.

Ridiculous.

It's so ridiculous that it just has to work.

*Not sure if I’m a fan of using Vance as my male lead’s name. I want to change it, but I’m not sure. Let me know what you think

I pre-ordered Harvest Moon: Winds of Anthos, got the game, positioning the camera angle during gameplay is not my fave thing so far. A little inconvenient, but not terrible either.

Who’s been liking the game so far?

Spotify Plaques of what appears to be for a Namjoon stan lol. I do promise that I’m OT7 though. Now, I low key want an Indigo album one or figure what BTS album I get a plaque for.

I put the link to the shop I got these beauties from! I messaged the seller a picture of what I wanted, typed the song name and singer and added the Spotify code (if the song has one). There’s also an option for the text to be white.

Anime things- spoilers ahead

Remember how Inuyasha gets together with his first love’s reincarnation?? That shit was wild

Also remember that Kikyo literally said that she will drag Inuyasha to Hell? Great times

Kagome had like 4 dudes interested in her. One half-demon boy, one demon boy and a human boy and that human boy’s ancestor. The girl was building a whole ass harem without realizing it

In Toradora, Taiga and Ryuji fell in love because they decided to work together due to the fact that they thought their crushes weren’t interested in them then it turns out that their crushes actually had feelings for them. Whoops.

In Itazura na Kiss, I’m happy for Kotoko getting her man, but still calling him by last name even AFTER marriage and having a kid is where I’m just like: ❓❓❓❓

For almost a whole SEASON, everyone in Bakugan thought Masquerade was a dude and it turns out he was a GIRL. This one just takes the cake 🎂 in my opinion

No matter which way you spin it, the “Shadow Realm” in Yugioh! is pretty much the Hell/Underworld

Yugioh! Season 0 was WILD AF

I’m gonna say it. For Pokémon to have an animated and manga series of a 10-year-old boy go off into unknown places with dangerous creatures that could potentially kill him was one of the wildest things they came up with in the 90s.

Okay. I’ll stop there before I go too crazy. But damn. Anime and manga back then was wild stuff.

Ship Dynamics

Alex’s Favorites

Rivals to lovers: call it old or a cliche, but I don’t care I love it

Enemies to lovers: pretty similar to rivals to lovers...but like rivals are competitive assholes while enemies fucking hate each other than they slowly learn the other one is not so bad to not being able to live without the other in their life. I eat this shit up

Introvert and extrovert: Opposites attract, need I say more?

Literal sunshine and Mr.Will-Murder-You-in-your-sleep: again with the opposites attract, I’m starting to see a pattern here....

Hot and cold: very similar to the others, but same thing

Nerd and jock: I know it’s extremely old and used in way too much media, but I’m a sucker for it so sue me

Country person and city person: again, opposites once more. This is getting ridiculous

Famous person and ordinary person: not exactly sure on how I feel on famous people getting together with their own fans, but I enjoy a concept on a famous person getting together with an ordinary person who may not know who they are or not their fan

Demon and angel/villain and hero/ monster (I guess any is fine) and human: this is getting concerning with all these opposites

Popular person and normal person: this concept maybe as old as the dinosaurs but a lot of the old “classic” rom-coms had this concept literally written in the stars that they mind as well name the title of movies “Popular guy gets with Normal Girl”

I can’t really think of anymore but thanks for reading my post!

I think a rather obscure anime trope would be for the isekai protagonist to be an adult and stay as an adult. Not start as an adult and turn into a teenage version of themselves bs.

No. Have them be an adult the whole time. Imagine an anime with:

No love interests

No harems

No fan service

No plot conveniences

No overpowered protagonist

Just a typical adventure anime with like survival drama or something.

What would be the drama?? Would it be something like, “oh, I came across this seemingly abandoned island but there’s actually a civilization full of possible cannibals that believe in blood sacrifices, holy crap.”??

Protagonist: Someone with actual survival skills (nothing too advanced but at least basics) or at least good at adapting to the environment, like they can build fires and shit. Even better if they have an actual backbone and not simply react to stuff. Like, they can fight if they need to.

Antagonist: If Peter Pan and Hook merged together into one person or something like that. That would be kind of interesting not gonna lie. How would this person be complex? Maybe they secretly never wanted to be a villain, but they play the role because that’s what society expects from them and they can never escape their terrible fate of being the bad guy until they die. Wow, that went a little dark…

Idk. I’m just sort of ranting at this point. I’m just typing something out of fantasy lol. Hope you enjoyed it nonetheless.

So…I never played the original version of Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town but I knew it well enough to know who’s who and what the main game was about.

They came out with the remake and I was like: ok, updated art and graphics from the original version cause that pixel art was…something else. Either way, the marriageable candidates got their upgrade and I was all: no, go back. My thoughts:

Bachelorettes

Mary: Lost her shy, meek look. She looks more like a quiet, mature girl and the hair is different with two pigtails instead of a side braid

Ann: Her braid that got switched to a ponytail and lost her iconic overalls. She looks more girly and got a whole different outfit

Karen: She doesn’t have her noticeable blond bangs and almost looks similar to Freya from Grand Bazaar…weird.

Elli: almost kind of kept her original look, but it still isn’t the same girl. Her hair is noticeably in a another style and kind of fluffy

Popuri: No green headband, dress looks a bit different. Her eye color is more of a deep pink/rose than red and her hairstyle changed

Bachelors

Cliff: A whole different outfit. Lost his iconic wild bangs since they look more tame. His ponytail is gone too

Rick: His headband is gone. Outfit change. Appears more mature and older too. Slightly different hairstyle as well

Doctor: Different hairstyle and appears to have more angular features. I think his eye color changed but I’m not too sure

Kai: Omg. A whole outfit change. Eye color changed to purple and his face features look different too. The bandana look like a beanie???

Brandon: New character!! Angular, sharp features and looking like a classy guy. Honey brown/amber eyes and red hair. Egotistic artist attitude when you first meet him lol

Gray: Lost his iconic UMA cap and orange hair. Became a blond. His whole outfit changed too. Even his personality is got a very drastic change from the original version

I think I would have preferred for the game makers to kept the original looks, just updating the art would have been fine. Does anyone agree with me??

Squid Game Thoughts

Warning: SPOILERS!!

Red Light, Green Light Rules: Move when you hear Green Light and freeze when you hear Red Light. Keep moving until you reach the goal. Easy, right??

Well, apparently not, move and you get shot in Squid Games

So…would the players get shot if the doll is facing away and hasn’t said Green Light??? Like can they move during Red Light as the doll’s head turns away from them??

I guess they can’t move during Red Light or when the doll turns away since there are guys with PlayStation buttons on their faces with GUNS watching them

Player 001 is just having the time of his life while almost half of the 456 players got massacred playing Red Light, Green Light

Goblin???

Ji Eun-tak, collect your man

Grim Reaper would have left him to rot lol

I’m a little curious as how he convinced show villain Jang Deok-su (Player 101) to get into Squid Game in the first place lol

Say what you will about Sang-woo, but his characterization was interesting to watch

I don’t necessarily agree with the things he did, but he learned very quickly that Squid Game is a kill or be killed environment and one needs to survive in order to get ahead

Deok-su is an obvious show villain. Yes, he still sucks as a person and is in no way a decent human being, but he lacked the charisma and cunning nature of a true antagonist

With Gi-hun as the main character, he needed someone to match with his protagonist role and Sang-woo fulfilled that perfectly as the true antagonist

Also, fuck you Sang-woo for this game

He fucking knew what game they were playing next and he choose the triangle like the ambitious and opportunistic villain that he is

You know Gi-hun got screwed over the moment he chose the umbrella

Ok…when Gi-hun started licking the dalgona…is that a loophole or a technicality??

Because the rules state that he needs to remove the shape from the dalgona. Every player was given the needle (??) to remove the shape they chose, but the rules did NOT say HOW the shape needed to be removed

Or, I simply don’t remember if they mentioned how the player is supposed to take out the shape

Either way, it seems like a loophole to me

I guess Squid Game overlooks loopholes but does not condone to cheating

When they started purposely giving the players less food, I thought that was one cruel yet ingenious way to weed out the weaker players

Kind of like proving that the worst in humanity comes out in the moment when it’s survival of the fittest

I am still on the investigation of how Jun-ho’s phone didn’t need to be charged for like four days

Theory 1: I noticed his battery got lower the more risky or life-threatening the situation became for him. So I concluded that his phone battery symbolizes his lifeline, the moment his phone died then he did too

Or, it could simply be his battery is low cause he hasn’t charged it haha

I will forever hold a grudge for Sang-woo no thanks to this moment

Sang-woo you bastard. It was brilliantly cruel and selfish. In a way, I think he walked away so he wouldn’t see Ali’s face when he realizes that Sang-woo betrayed him and even flinched when he heard the gun shot, because if he didn’t truly care about Ali then it wouldn’t affect him at all if he died

That plus adding Gi-hun’s not-so-heroic moment of trying to take advantage of Player 001’s loss of memory due to his brain tumor during this game

Then that old man played us by knowing Gi-hun was doing this and wasn’t mad at him, cue tears that will soon dry

The glass bridge is probably where I would be scared out of my mind if I played this game

Sang-woo continues to be a villain by pushing that guy in the end. Tbh, he’s been developing into the villain role since like Episode 3

Of course it all narrows down to the true antagonist Sang-woo, beautiful yet deadly Sae-byeok, and ridiculously lucky protagonist Gi-hun

KDrama logic dictates that Gi-hun will win since he’s the protagonist

Can I be angry about how Sae-byeok got eliminated?? That was injustice

Ding ding ding!! Sang-woo is officially our antagonist. I knew it!!!

Jun-ho dies. Well, damn……he hasn’t told me the secrets of how his phone didn’t need to be charged for four days

The Frontman was a former winner of Squid Game. WTF?? Okay! We need a season 2 to explain this

Sang-woo dies. Damn, a character that developed into a great villain died too??

Gi-hun is 45.6 billion won richer but 455 people had to die for it which makes the phrase blood money quite literal

He’s also traumatized for life as an added bonus

Player 001 proves to us as to why we shouldn’t have wasted our tears on him

This is random but Gi-hun looks good with red hair

According my research, his red hair is supposed to symbolize his inner anger

This is the end, really???

GET ON THE FUCKING PLANE!!!!!

End
