Manga ranking poll for ones that should be adapted to an amime!! (Voting for TB natch.) For the final question "why this should be adapted to anime", I put 『東京BABYLON』は日本国内だけでなく海外にも多くのファンがいる - there are many TB fans overseas as well as in Japan. :)

Okay y'all am I crazy or are the popular romantasy books just... fine? I also tried to read that one gay hockey book and I could NOT deal Either I'm v spoiled by fandom or a lit snob (or both probably)

Ballot is counted Solved a difficult work problem Kiddos are still into Princess Tutu Deep cleaning the house for friends to visit Halloween costumes are done Lifting almost my old PRs from 2012

Yay it's almost time!!

SeiSub Hanami Exchange@seisubhanamiex.bsky.social

Welcome to the 2026-27, and the 9th, round of the SeiSub Hanami Exchange! We will be using the extended schedule with an intermission period again. Let's share another fun hanami together! See the Tumblr post for further information and schedule/FAQ: www.tumblr.com/seisubhanami...

This cold has me doing all the drugs - naproxen, guaifenesin, pseudoephedrine, cetirizine, saline up the nose, caffeine, menthol, ginger ale

f it I'm walking 450 miles and keeping a lid on calories (a smidge under maintenance) for however many days that takes I hate hate diets so that's motivation to not slack much 8% of the way so far planning like ten weeks in total I've done more with less spite

me: shoot... I have extra fat to drop I guess brain: SAY NO MORE me: ?? brain: '90s and '00s self-loathing misogyny coming right up me: wait no

Every day feels like a kick in the teeth but cat gets scritches, I took my walk, kiddo's friend came over, grandparents took the kids, spouse and I bought records and walked to a great Mexican restaurant for fajitas and tequila shots, and there was a massive and bright rainbow 🌈 life continues

I have been lifting weights for to make the muscle and the bone. Those added significant weight to my body. KNOWING it's fine is one thing but still the number feels difficult.

As far as I can make out thematically this is the Bad Choice! because Kamui wants to do something FOR the ones he cares about, to a point of exclusion, without considering their feelings first causing all kinds of tragedy for them in the process

Was the Good Choice for Kamui "f all y'all, the system needs a reset" instead of selfish altruism that misses the mark? meaning Fuuma fills the opposite role to save humanity but for real, not fixated on one person, he would have a shot (and maybe could make a kekkai even)

As it is, Kamui is doomed to save humanity and Fuuma is going to destroy civilization But if humanity survives, the Earth will be consumed anyway 😞

apparently Kamui could have/should have made a different choice based on his "true" wish and become the DoE Kamui maybe? not choosing for Fuuma and Kotori but for his own?

Speed reading X to refresh myself on the story, and it's a wild blend of fierce personalities, dramatic delivery, comic relief, and horror

Kamui fresh off of dealing with his mother's death in a fire meets his aunt who seems to die in a fire before expositing anything but no! She lives! Then explodes in the Monou living room! (two nickels!) and after death consoles him not to be sad that this was fate & she can't exposit actually

I think most people have a near miss, someone who had many traits and aspects of their person but wasn't quite it His being modeled on the first draft of Fuuma makes this just so poignant 😭🌻

Talk of the Town, in which the power of Cary Grant's shameless flirting gets him both a quirky girl and an uptight law prof boyfriend to see the light about a corrupt court If they aren't poly this film makes no sense / 10

I'm subjecting the kiddos to Oregon Trail Three of us died so far, we caused death of a 4yo Little Mary, the oxen ran off, and my lone son has a broken arm a broken leg and dysentery and is sprinting alone and exhausted with moldy flour Starting to see where I went off in childhood

When I get sick I watch Zach Snyder movies Reliable - big spectacles, every main man character has dad issues, women characters dgaf about practicality, explosions everywhere Today it's Batman v Superman and it's glorious

When we play around with Japanese my kids jokingly call me (their mom) "otousan". Their dad gets called "kani sempai". One of us is the clear favorite.

Rainy day, a long nap, and a cinnamon mug cake Didn't know I was bone tired until I slowed down. now you'll have to pry me off the floor

Masters of the Universe made Adam an 8yo kid with the world through his eyes. Via magical girl trope he transforms older with a wand and gains magic agency and friends. Bad guys are just bad and they need to be punched. Noticed okay messages on less toxic masculinity, zero blood, crude jokes.

Strange New Worlds is trek fanfic in the most affectionate way like S4E1 asks 'what is the most FUN thing that could happen next?' and also it does a 'lets put the Sad Man in the Very Bad Situation' plus a little sprinkle of existential angst and UST and hope and and and This show is so great omg
