Hello @mikatannarugino! (I’m not sure how tumblr-links work, here’s your alt blog just in case: @ichigohoshimiya)! My name is Anata Wa Slug and I was your Secret Santa! I'M SO SORRY THIS IS LATE!!! 13 days past Christmas, in fact... y'see... I... uhhh... I'M NON-RELIGIOUS!!! So it's against my non-religiousness to post on the Birth of Christ! (#BLOOP) (real reason further below ;P) As mentioned in my Secret Santa entry, I've only seen one episode of Aikatsu, so I defo had to research this "Maria" character you're so passionate about. Her main entry episodes (according to wikia) were #68 and #69 (fun episodes) and I immediately recognized the "Aoi-wants-to-see-Maria-playing-Badminton" bit you mentioned in you Santa post. So, I DECIDED TO ANIMATE IT FOR YOU!!! Excuse me for my lack of Aikatsu; I know she's more "Hime"-ish but I wanted to disregard that and make AN ALTERNATE-DIMENSION MARIA!!! That is to say, I wanted to have fun! It seems Aoi and Sakura are having fun, too... Also, here's context for non-Aikatsu's:
See!? She's literally performing... in a mountain!...(s)! (#CRICKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETS) (keep reading link below)
Anyways, the reason this took so long (let's ignore the fact that it's an animation for a second) is due to many reasons. First, I greatly overestimated my skills #BLOOP and next, I... uhhh... procrastinated a ton! I'm not gonna lie about it! Like, during December my bro came back from college and then we just played a bunch of video games together. Then Christmas came and we both got Nintendo eshop cards and bought Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on sale for like $23 and then we watched some anime and then my 3DS Circle Pad broke BUT IT'S ALL FIXED NOW (as of yesterday) so that's good. Then I woke up and ate some cereal for breakfast and read some news and replied to some emails. And later the broseph made some popcorn and I keep telling him we have kernels so he doesn't have to buy the microwave brand but he does it anyway. Then I played some more Monster Hunter and-("WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?!?!") oh uhhh (#BADUMPSH) so anyways... I guess you can say... I know how it feels to not receive a present on Christmas. I even know how it feels... to be ignored when you're constantly messaging someone using a LINE application (#BLOOP) and that second part is more personal, but I defo understand the first part and how you must have felt! I didn’t mean to do that to you!! Please accept my sincerest apologies for making you wait this long due to my procrastination, selfishness, and slight anxiety for the reception this animation will receive in the Aikatsu community. I hope that your Holidays were a good one and wish you many great successes in the Year 2016! MAKE 2016 YOUR YEAR!!!

(also I think I'm supposed to tumblr-link the organizers. Let's see if this works: @aikatsusecretsanta @rushjob ) (hope the tags are correct, too) (Also shout-out to my secret santa @angelybears for the super-cute comic! And thanks everyone in the Aikatsu community for making me feel so welcome!! I REALLY WANT A GIRLFRIEND!!!) (”GODDAMIT JAY WHY’D YOU HAVE TO RUIN THE POST!?!?!”) (oh uhhh I uhhh #BLOOP) (IGNORE THE LAST FEW SENTENCES #BADUMPSH I’M SORRY SOMETIMES I JUST LOVE TALKING TO MYSELF!!!)
Haven’t received a gift yet? THEN YOU’RE PROBABLY PAIRED WITH MY LAZY ASS ME!!! Expect your gift on the 24th-25th (possibly 26th) (I’ve been busy!!) It’s gonna be worth your while (while you wait~...), I promise you!!!

It’s true that you weren’t my secret admirer (honestly I’m not even sure he/she noticed) (BLOOP!!) (a one-sided admiration... such is life... FOR A SLUG!!! ヽ(●ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ●)ﾉﾟ) but it still feels great receiving such a lovely gift! And a comic/manga at that! As Kitaouji Sakura would say:
Hello Secret Santa! No, this isn’t a spam account!! It’s just bare cause I haven’t uploaded anything and was created a day or so ago (also quite frankly this is only for secret santa!). When the time comes (Dec. 20th), feel free to contact me through ask and I’ll reblog your gift-post! Good luck, and have fun!!
