No thank you to telling me I look pretty. YES THANK YOU to telling me I look like a male character you like because of a hat I’m wearing. 🥰

So uh during this rewatch we realized that there’s a big spoiler in this movie that wasn’t revealed in the manga or anime yet when it came out lmao.

I had things I wanted to do tonight but now that I’m home I kind of just want to watch a double feature for the characters I’ve been missing:

One Piece: Film Red for Law

Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle for Yaku and Kuroo and Nekoma

I don’t talk much about the Nekoma team on here but they are my ride or die team along with Karasuno. I adore them.

It’s so fun when an author creates a little shit and knows and treats them like a little shit in a “you’re my favorite little shit” way.

What if I did try to write an interactive fiction project and maybe even make little pixel characters to go with it. What then?

“how do you write again after a long break?” you just start. that’s the horror of it. you just. start. and then the story opens its eyes.

I miss Law so much. There are 3 arcs until he shows up in my rewatch but like 10 arcs until he's actually part of the show in a more significant way. And who the heck knows where he is in the manga right now.

In the episode I watched today everyone was like "oh yeah Luffy is bad at sticking to a plan" and I was like "Law's worst nightmare."

I’m just loving the characters in the Heartstrings series SO MUCH because they always need to park in the same parking spot at work every day, prefer to follow routines, like to learn how things work because it calms them down, have a platonic love of their life, share clothes, say awkward things and then hate it, are feeling burnt out at work, or are feeling tired of having to deal with societal things that don’t make sense to them, etc.

My vacation is over tomorrow, I just finished reading First-Time Caller, and I’m sad that I won’t be spending time with these characters all day anymore. The next book doesn’t come out until next year I think.

I don’t regret anything about this vacation but I do feel like I could have been more productive. Then I remember that I wanted a vacation where I took a break from my own life and I think And Now, Back to You and First-Time Caller were really good choices for that. I also reconnected with an old favorite character, Wally West. I saw the ocean. It was good.

I didn’t make myself a self-care kit after all. But I did buy more books for myself.

I watch When Harry Met Sally every year for New Years but I’ve only seen the other Nora Ephron movies once or twice. I rewatched Sleepless in Seattle last night because the book I’m reading today, First-Time Caller, is inspired by it like the other book in the series is inspired by When Harry Met Sally (They aren’t the same characters or plots, but there is some clear inspiration and references). Sorry but Sleepless in Seattle isn’t very good tbh, and one reason I was annoyed with it last night is that David Hyde Pierce is in it for no real reason. A waste of comedic talent. I think there could have been funnier sibling stuff for him and Meg Ryan to do because they’re both funny. Anyway, First-Time Caller is infinitely better AND there’s a character in it that I’m imagining as David Hyde Pierce and it’s very funny. He’s the platonic love of her life that I mentioned earlier. I’m having such a fun time reading this!
