when i say i can’t recommend this anime enough like it’s got so many silly little overpowered guys, it’s got platonic soulmateship, it’s got an epic story. comfort show/manga.

I mean, there's rough moments, but like most classic Shounen anime... the ultimate message is that the power of friendship will always come through.
it's an especially good show for the specific purpose that it's about a thousand episodes (more, but some of that is filler)... and counting. So if you need background noise while you work from home, you can go on this wild ride where characters have ridiculous, silly super powers (like the guy who ate the fruit that turns him into a giraffe, or the guy whose sword ate the elephant-elephant fruit), and by the time you run out of episodes, you'll have a backlog of other stuff to watch.
okay, that's not for everybody. but it got me through the pandemic nicely.

my taste in anime and manga is a bit all over the place, but if we’re like-minded, then you might just absolutely love these <3
this isn’t in any particular order
01. wonder egg priority
— last three eps or so are rushed and the ending is kinda wonky but overall a good take of the magical girl genre
02. the ice guy and his cool female colleague
— just a chill romance with some supernatural sprinkled in
03. bibliomania
— obscure asf with no official english translation and the original japanese release was limited I believe
04. frieren: beyond journey’s end
— favourite anime alongside flip flappers. a slice of life fantasy
05. apothecary diaries
— fun mystery set in a fictional country inspired by imperial china
06. the summer hikaru died
— a promising horror with implied queer characters. take what I said with a grain of salt since it’s been a while since I read it
07. kaguya-sama: love is war
— hilarious romcom about rich high schoolers minus the protagonist
08. chainsaw man
— a fever dream ngl, but a good one
09. uzumaki
— classic horror. has some romance elements tbh
10. haikyuu
—my original favourite sports anime ^^ it holds a special place in my heart
11. blue lock + episode nagi
— my absolute fave sports manga rn even though I can’t take it seriously at times. kaiser’s my favourite red flag
12. girls’ last tour
— end of the world slice of life. bittersweet
13. violet evergarden
— fyi the relationship is weird, but I just choose to ignore it. aside from that, everything else is beautiful though)
14. flip flappers
— so very underrated! the fandom is pretty much nonexistent. sci-fi magical girls)
15. good night punpun
— definitely not for the faint of heart. depression incarnate and has many mature themes and triggering topics

last summer I was sitting at the pond near my apartment when I saw a green heron (i didn’t know what that was at the time) and thought to myself “there are so many birds around at all times and I have no idea who any of them are!” I’ve been having so much fun learning my local natural history and being able to tell who’s around from their songs and calls and peckings.
I wonder how many other things I’m always surrounded by that I don’t recognize because I haven’t noticed yet. Like fonts or types of bridges or insects.

My mom hates overgrown grass because it makes it harder to mow the lawn and the ticks love it… but it’s so soft and swoosh

From a screenshot of a video of me checking the back of my hair to make sure I don’t have a cowlick to a pixelated graph of my face to a tapestry that I displayed in my first exhibit!! (bonus points if u can find the birds)
