If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

Hate how much A Little Treat has infested me. Any small discomfort and I'm immediately like oooo maybe exchanging money for goods and services will fix this situation.

Sometimes

SOMETIMES

Going to the library can activate A Little Treat pleasure centers

Coming home with music and books and some movies, and paying zero dollars for it all

It’s pretty awesome

You don't even have to leave the house if you use the resources the library can provide electronically (Libby, Hoopla, etc.).

[rifa]

Oh fuck yeah this is a library post now!!!!

It's easy to compare ourselves to other people's visible successes! But underneath the surface, we realize it's not a comparison at all. We can all succeed in different ways. 🥕✨

HER WORLD PHYSICALLY GOT BRIGHTER WHEN SHE REALIZED IT WAS SAFE TO BE HERSELF OH MY GOD THIS SERIES IS TOO CUTE!

[boku-no-anime-phase]

So loved Ramparts of Ice episode 11. That added such interesting depth to Koyun's character. I'm really impressed that it was willing to go there, too--Ramparts of Ice, I was unfamiliar with your game.

I'm stoked to see the payoff of all these setups. Here are my predictions 😁

1. I think the new chick is going to try to take Koyun out of the picture (so she can make a move on Amamiya) by ✨ bullying her ✨. This will probably only get worse when Amamiya still isn't interested

2. Given Koyun's shame over the way she acted before, where she tried to make her bully look bad in front of Igarashi (and got called out for it)--and given the fact that Miki got injured in a fight defending her before--i think Koyun is going to hide the bullying she's experiencing, and just get distant, which of course is going to concern everyone

3. I actually think Yota will be the one to find out

4. Somehow the rest of the gang will find out too, and Koyun will have to fess up about how she behaved in middle school. She'll assume that everyone would reject her after that, but they'll probably be like "ehh we've all done stuff we're ashamed of. That was uncool but so was Amamiya's whole thing" etc etc

I'm not sure how they'll resolve the bullying situation but I'm pretty sure Koyun will have to have a lot of agency in that.

They could also skip a bunch of middle steps if this new chick just decided to tell Amamiya about what Koyun did in middle school. I don't think he'd believe it unless Koyun confirmed it, but still.

Also I wonder if there's gonna be some key piece of information about the bully chick that's revealed to us later by, like, her younger sister, or Miki, or Miki's brother. That would be interesting, but honestly, I hope they don't do anything to "redeem" Koyun's past actions. The fact that she was such a messy, imperfect victim is really compelling imo. Honestly I have so much more respect for the show after seeing that.

Gonna have to pick up the manga after this season...

[ashstfu]

idk but when i discover new books and music i’m just excited to be alive again. yes a bit dramatic but that’s how i feel when i discover them

[anticurses]

[nijigasakilove]

One last thought on the episode, you can tell Koyun thinks she’s as bad as Manatsu for using Igarashi to shield her from the bullying, but totally different intents and contexts. Manatsu was an aggressor and Koyun was a scared kid with nowhere else to turn

[nijigasakilove]

Momoka showing up and instantly disrespecting Koyuki, her senpai, to make a pass at Minato is so funny because why would any older guy want you if you’re that immature lmao? This bitch can fuck right off. Hopefully this gives us some romantic progression.

[nijigasakilove]

So we go from one weird jealous bitch to another, must be hard being Koyuki and constantly being hated for being pretty. I’m so glad Minato clocked how uncomfortable Koyuki felt and grabbed her bookbag so she couldn’t leave omg. Stand by your girl iktr 🥹

[nijigasakilove]

The way Koyuki face lights up when she finds out Minato read and likes the same book series as her is so fucking real and cute. Nothing like finding someone who shares one of your passions. I love how seriously Minato takes learning ANYTHING about her lol

[nijigasakilove]

Koyuki better than me in the first place tho because I would’ve ignored Manatsu lame ass and let her wallow in her own insecurities. The concept of blaming someone else because you lame as fuck and can’t hold a conversation with your own classmates gtfo jealous bitch.

[nijigasakilove]

Girls like Manatsu disgust me so much because how you gon be mad at someone because they’re more popular than you? It’s the same way people hate on idols online for no reason, people will do anything but work on themselves because it’s easier to tear others down. So funny seeing her dumbass get exposed in front of everyone including the boy she was pursuing lmao

[aaaarsonist]

GRRRRRRR I LOVED THIS EPISODEEEEE

I think the reason I'm so in love with this anime is because it's one of the most realistic I've seen. I've already said I love Koyun because she's well made imperfect protagonist (I mean, she started dating Igarashi out of spite lmao I would have never guessed that) but all of the characters are. Manatsu's reason to hate Koyun it's more realistic than just hating her because she likes Igarashi, it's not deep exactly but it's common, she's just an asshole.

The new black haired girl... I don't like her, not one bit. Not because she's into Minato, but because I'm sure she's plotting something. I don't know what, I just know she's bad news.

On a more cheerful note, MINATO IS SO FUCKING CUTEEEEEEE, HE'S SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOOOOOOO INTO KOYUN I JUST COULDN'T STOP SQUEAKING. HE WAS ALL BLUSHY AND SMILEY AND AAAAAAAAAAAA HE ASKED KOYUN TO GO EAT ALONE TOGETHER JUST LIKE SHE DOES WITH YOTAAAA. I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHHHHH

Also Koyun and Yota are so platonic soulmates, I adore them

(there was no Miki this episode, I didn't like that)

I've been watching this anime on Netflix called Ramparts of Ice(link to the wiki. Apparently it was originally a webcomic???), and it's a PERFECT example of how humans totally CANNOT READ EACH OTHER'S MINDS, but constantly THINK They can :> I Love It uvu uvu

It's not really a "Comedy of Manners", but obvsl INSPIRED by that genre, so I will dub it a "Comedy of Psychology" :3 :3 :3
