I've not done 4 pictures in one post in a while haha. The 3rd picture is right after a storm so horrendous it tore off our hostel's false ceiling. Nature can be so horrifyingly beautiful.
The exam week is upon us, and I am trying to stay afloat. After this it's only one year before I graduate, and man I really want it to be over...
my elevator pitch as to why you should watch Crayon Shin-chan: where else will you find a song number about alleviating constipation filled with parodies of beloved Hollywood blockbusters
just sharing some pics. im too lazy to edit them so pardon the not very aesthetic captures
some of the banners along the street going towards animate ikebukuro. basically all of obata's promotional posters
they recreated the potato chip scene! and ryuk phasing through the aircon
L's diabetes cctv table
and this magnificent statue! it was massive af
we weren't allowed to take pictures of obata's original pages but DAMN they were immaculate. he's so clean and precise with his lines (he drew them traditionally). idk i liked seeing his correction fluid and pen marks lol
the merch they sold were very mid and meh ngl. they did give me a freebie lawlight souvenir tho
i ended up gachaing some chibi figures but man they were overpriced af (500 yen each) and i ended up spending 3500 yen because i had a hard time getting L ugh stupid frog man
anyway ye i had fun! it was really neat. still can't believe the exhibition had to happen on OUR trip, an off season for japan and an old ass anime that had no business doing exhibitions anymore. twas fate
back on my death note bullshit, and i love the idea of lawlight and remisa existing simultaneously, because you’d assume that the one with the weirder partner would be light, the first kira, the mastermind who started it all, and then he’s with L which is pretty wack, I mean, they’ve got their whole bitter-rivals-homerotic-murder-soulmate thing going on, but misa’s pretty normal barring her whole obsession thing, she’s got a normal life outside of being kira and who’s she dating? the shinigami.
I got a summer internship! And at such a wonderful time, too. Recently I had been feeling so overwhelmingly stupid, cause my grades don't seem to want to go up, and I had lost all motivation to do work. But with the conference and this internship, my passion for research is back up again, and I am so glad!
i think light yagami is "socially adept" in terms of being able to reason out relatively well what to say and do to come off as a harmless and good and polite young man who is likeable to be around. however i do not think "socially adept" (or "neurotypical") typically comes with having to preface every other normal-passing action and statement with a minor crisis of "ah shit. quick, what would i say/do in response to this if i was light yagami, a normal and nice and respectable young man?"
everyone likes to talk about him talking about kira in third person but can we acknowledge that he also talks about LIGHT in third person. i'm not adding manga panels at 3:57am but y'all know exactly which ones i mean
