Mesmerizing kimono coat in shimmering oil-slick tones. The pattern has bustling sealife with beautiful seahorses, different shells, algae, anemones, etc.
This intricate design has the same hypnotizing effect on me as Howl’s wizard bedroom:
I went to 本むら庵 (Honmuraan), a sobaya from 1924, with Iona (who handled my camera this time) and Mia. After the meal, we went to どんぐり舎 (Dongurisha), a kissa I've been to a few times in Nishiogi, to plan a future outing and play hanafuda, like the old ladies we are (pictures of that on my Instagram post).

Bernard Black and Itoshiki Nozomu are each other's perfect match, CHANGE MY MIND.
Here I am once again with a couple nobody has ever written anything about- and this time, I understand. Please allow me to take you on a thought experiment. What if Zetsubou-sensei was in dreary old London to improve on his English and English-teaching skills? And what if he just happened to be lodging near Black Books, and popped in every now and then to get new literature? Bernard would fall for him harder than a pebble kicked off the cliffs of Dover, that's what. Follow me for shenanigans, a deep sense of despair, and laughing through the pain.
I had way too much fun with this. They are adorable.
Hi, on her most recent IG post Aoi Tayuu is wearing a sort of white kimono coat. Do you know what that garment is and why is she wearing it? Thanks a lot.
I'm not 100% sure what it's called, but it's based on old courtier robes. It's the olden day equivalent of a michiyuki ^^
Ask game so we can tag phan!! shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up + if you think they can be related to DnP or not. Copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals!!
Okay! Here it is!
This is one of my all-time favorite songs by Laura Brehm. The lyrics to the song remind me of Dan's journey through embracing his sexuality and accepting his true self. Especially the lyrics to the chorus:
"I lay awake and I dream about/a place I can call home/where I am free and I can be myself/and I won't give this up for anything/not anymore/I am awake and dreaming"
This song is in Tamil, but the translated lyrics are really wholesome. It's about (according to the official music video,) "traveling on your own path (or river!) to seek out your dreams." It really speaks to how Dan and Phil followed their own paths through life and how they budded into a successful career. And through those paths, they ended up meeting each other! 😊
I think my favorite lyrics from the song are the pre-chorus:
Thinam thinamum yengi (Each and everyday I yearn for you) Kan moodi kaangiraen (I close my eyes and see you there) Thudi thudikkum nenjai (Within the steady beats of my heart) Un nizhalaai paarkiraen (I feel your shadow) Thirumba thirumba malaradhey (It blooms again and again)
Another one of my favorites! Dierks Bentley's Cover of "Pride(In the Name of Love") is probably one of the only country songs I'll even listen to (I'm not a country music fan lol) I think it definitely applies to Dan and Phil in the sense of how the song is about people who have lived their life with pride, not caring how the world views them. It really speaks volumes, especially how Dan and Phil don't care what others think about them and are living a true authentic life now that they are out and proud! 🌈
This song was the opening theme to the anime Kiznaiver and really holds a special place in my heart. (I never watched the anime, but when I first heard the song, I fell in love with it) Kinda sad fact, but this was the band's final record before the lead singer of the song, Michiyuki Kawashima, sadly passed away due to leukemia. The lyrics really tell a message of staying by someone's side no matter what and never leaving them, even when they are far away, and remind me of how Phil has always been there for Dan through his life, both the positives and negatives.
"Caught up in circles/All dreams and bright lights/Wait I'm here always/ brighter than sunshine"
THIS SONG makes me tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME because every single lyric reminds me of how Dan found his forever home with Phil. Before he met him, he felt he had no other reason to keep going in life, but when they met that fateful day in 2009, he found a "family of [his] own."
I think one lyric that really represents this is the second verse:
"Watching you go through all that you do/I never knew until I felt it too/But now I know that love is beautiful/There's so much more that I want to find out with you"
brb gonna go cry now 😭
Well, that's it! Highly recommend all of these songs, so you should give them a listen! Thanks for the ask @serendipnpipity!
