in comparison, Saitou Chiwa is another seiyuu i adore, but i immediately clock her whenever i hear her. doesn’t mean she’s any less talented ofc - her work as Homura & Senjougahara was a big part of what made those characters SO impactful for me. but Aoi Yuuki’s voice can just really transform.
absolutely mindblowing that Madoka and Maomao have the same seiyuu. i’ve watched through Madoka Magica and Apothecary Diaries several times through each, and my brain just cannot compute how these characters’ voices come from the same person? god, i love Aoi Yuuki

also if you haven’t played the game: it’s on steam, it’s not expensive, it’s easy enough to finish and get all endings within a day, & it’s absolutely incredible.
as a woman who does a certain kinda work online and has for a long time, i found it incredibly resonant in a way not many things are.
game is an all time fav for me. a lot of people have doubts about how they could possibly adapt it into an anime, but, fwiw, the writer of the game was heavily involved with the production of the anime, and it’ll be cool to see the same themes approached in a radically different story + format.
i think it’s ridiculous to be proud of anything i didn’t choose for myself. that’s just the kind of person i am. so i’m not “proud” of having DID. but i am proud at what i’ve done with it and what i’ve learned from it. and i’m not ashamed or grossed out by myself just for being the way i am.
it’s also not a secret. i am who i am. sometimes (maybe oftentimes) who i am is not who people think i am. but in a way i think that’s true about a lot of people, essentially. and having DID’s given me the opportunity to introspect, examine, and really understand that about myself and other people.
some people are more or less forward about it. i mostly choose, at this point in my life, not to discuss it with most people. it’s not a good use of my time or energy to try and explain what a “part” is to every friend of mine, much less my own parts. masking can often be easier than being honest.
happy DID awareness day.
i was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder 8 years ago. it’s a major aspect of my life and, frankly, one i don’t discuss with most people i know.
but it’s not something i’m ashamed of. in a lot of ways, i see DID as something that uniquely defines me & my work.
not a rag at all - it’s fun noticing things like that. i just had to literally pause and check if it WAS Avril the 14th (it’s not).
regardless, super beautiful sequence in a gorgeous movie.
there’s a lot to like about the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc movie, but my current fav thing is how the piano piece that plays during the summer festival scene was very obviously inspired by Avril the 14th by Aphex Twin
“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”
she did it! her! way!!

it was just unabashedly adorable at times, and i think that served it well to distinguish it from the other films in the franchise. i imagine some other fans of the series might not be into that, but it was 100% my vibe.
(also i would die for Bud.)
i think the antagonist could’ve had better characterization. and i think i wanted it to be a bit longer in general to better develop the protagonists and their growing trust and sense of companionship. but, to be fair, i feel that way for most films, and the heartfelt moments still hit for me.
while Predator Badlands probably isn’t AS good as Prey, i really liked it. the action sequences were very fun & creative, and it was, surprisingly enough, also super cute? Prey is a standout sci-fi flick and still the best Predator movie, but Predator Badlands did its own enjoyable thing.
i may have rewatched Incantation the other night because it fucking rules and also it may be ruining my sleep rn
some people say “shut-in”
i prefer “anchoress”
i will check those out, so thank you for dropping their names. i love the fail-forward lesbian archetype.
watching WataNare right now and can safely say i’ve never seen a lesbian as useless as this who somehow possesses so much game???
yuri is actually one of the best things to dedicate one’s life to
i don’t think i’ve sprinted like that since i ran track…….
100% worth it
i may have chased down a usps truck because they almost didn’t deliver an anime print i ordered……
Fuck Harry Potter, watch Madoka Magica instead
i will not be explaining
puella magi madoka magica is the new testament for lesbians
A lot of people fixate on this admittedly badass line from DISCO ELYSIUM, but forget that the Deserter is a villain. He's a weird old incel whose delusions led to a murder and got union members killed. The bourgeois ARE human, but thrive off an inhuman system. Recognizing that humanity is crucial.
