Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy-

This anime is so underrated that I've been unconsciously rewatching it. It didn't occur to me that 'lit' or 'cool' this anime is; I just unconsciously searched for it and watched it all over again. Sometimes, I even skipped to parts where he's so cool or being funny with his servants.

First and foremost, the story is not that exciting, in my opinion, but some parts always make sense:

The goddess didn't find Makoto attractive, but she was able to summon him to come to the other world. Amongst the 3 otherworldly humans, only Makoto became so powerful that Tomoe described his power as matching the Goddess. He possessed an unexplainable power that could not be measured by mere scrolls, and would always show that he was level 1.

Hibiki's hesitation to kill. Among other 'otherworldly' humans, Hibiki shows how very much a human she is by showing her hesitation to kill, not just monsters, but demons as well. She was summoned by the goddess with the ability to summon a guardian, which in this case, was the wolf. Despite the fact that she has the power to do so, she is hesitant to take it. I can't say she is a coward, she's human. Before being summoned, she didn't expect to kill anyone, even monsters, as a living. She lives as a normal human girl in a normal school. She is human in a way that she doesn't want to interfere the circle of life set in a normal circumstances. She can still kill, if her judgment allows it.

Tomoki is a coward, and the goddess is just biased. In my opinion, there is nothing attractive about Tomoki. It's shown in the anime how biased the goddess is toward Tomoki. She blessed him with power, even 'charm eye' to make other people be charmed by him. Good thing Tomoe wasn't easily charmed by Tomoki and humiliated him in his own arrogance.

Tomoe, Mio and Shiki are Makoto's loyal servants. They chose to stay at Makoto's side as they are attracted to him because of his extraordinary power. They feel powerful when they are with him. They feel free as they can choose what they want for themselves, the same goes for Makoto. He feels included when he is with them. He becomes powerful when he needs to protect, the same goes for his loyal servants.

This anime is not your typical popular shounen or shoujo anime, but it is charming like the main character, Misumi Makoto.

Call OUT

One person said...

"A funeral surrounded by hypocrites"

We have been witnessing a toxic family dynamic that lasted for many years. Until, all of a sudden, we were awoken by the cruel reality of the peace they maintained amongst us.

We, the younger generations of the family, almost continued that TOXIC trait within ourselves and others. Now, calling out the irony in the situation, people of older generations are trying to subdue them under their so-called authority, and trying to label it, under the premise of professionalism. But here's the thing, no name was called. No person behind that statement was called, then all of a sudden, they came at them.

Your foundation is crumbling. Your authority is weakening. We know who you are under the mask, we just stayed quiet for the peace, but, as time goes by, we then realize, it's not peace, it's a trait, a habit.

The powerless were subdued. Now, those who were powerless gained their own voice.

One-by-one, we will gain our strengths, and courage to face this deadly culture of family dynamic.

How should I talk to my estranged father?

Entertainment News

The definition of "Entertainment", according to Merriam-webster dictionary, is an amusement or diversion provided especially by the performers. This can be in a form of movies, dramas, comics, books, etc.

When searching it online as how it was defined in the Philippines, it is a form of comfort; pleasure; amusement.

Looking at the entertainment industry in the Philippines through most of the social media platforms, it had became a toxic idea that actors or performers should meet the ideals and expectation of the spectators or audience. Seeing the comments of the said posts in social media platforms became so overwhelming, that when I scrolled through, I could see some actors or performers crying, with blatant comments against what could became of them.

Before social media, the entertainment industry was once a peaceful and comfortable way of diverting once attention from the stress and misery in real life. However, when social media was discovered, people blatantly exposed their opinions so openly.

This is where people would have wild imaginations or delusions of what could've been of this- and that-, and openly posts it in social media. As someone who holds a handheld technology almost 24/7, it is sickening to think that this has what become of people, and this would be how our children would grow up with, a very toxic way of entertainment.

We should be reminded, that outside of their acting or performance, actors/performers are also normal citizens. Yes, being exposed in the entertainment industry would exposed their personal lives as well. But, is it so hard to respect their boundaries outside of their livelihood. Let us all remember that acting/performing is a livelihood as well. We are all afraid of being criticized within our workplace, but as a spectator, we are fearless of sharing our thoughts about them.

It is saddening to think that our society became so fixated of opinions, that they forgot the word 'respect' and 'boundaries'. Supporting them is one thing, but blatantly criticizing the person based on their past seems so sickening. My words may be extreme in vocabulary, but the reality itself cannot be describe in just words.

Why can't we support them, and only support them? Bashing them, and sharing negative opinions is a Filipino toxic trait that should be stopped, even a long time ago. Comparing the past to the supposed present is not a good way of showing support.

Do we have to wait for actors/performers to cry so that we could wake up from the reality that the we, the spectators, made them cry just because of our blatant opinions about them?

We should only share the positivity with them so they can enjoy what they do, and just support them wholeheartedly. They are now where they are through their hard work and self-achievement, not because of the spectators, but because it is what they enjoyed.

Keep the entertainment industry a way it was defined. Be the safe space actors/performers could be proud of, not driving them to their downfall.

Point Ormond Lookout...

A Place known for an astounding sunset view of the Melbourne CBD, but for me, I want to see places in a different perspective. I took this photo, reminding me that I am still standing, that I am still living, thriving in a foreign country. I see astounding views around Melbourne around social media platforms, but what those posts didn't include was how people tend to come at this places, outside the busy streets of CBD to unwind, remind them to stay on the ground, despite their achievements and successes in life. Every person coming in this place has their own story. Sometimes, their story begins here. So entering the new year, coming to this place marks the start of renewing my perspective of life.

Deku’s Butler, from J-drama Mei’s butler

While watching this drama, it made me imagine if Izuku was Mei from the drama, and Katsuki is the butler who previously served Uraraka. I know that in the drama, it is an all-girls school, but in my imagination, it is somewahat a school for future lords and ladies, and Izuku is somewhat a grandson of the famous or largest enterprise in Japan, and Katsuki is willing to serve Izuku.

Then on the place of Mei’s childhood friend, it made me think of Shinsou Hitoshi, who is willing to study being a butler for Izuku.

I pictured Katsuki in a grey butler suit and Izuku in track suit with large glasses, and the schools uniform, somehow is gold with black lining, and the pants is black velvet or skirts.

Which is hotter: The Soft and happy Midoriya Izuku or the Evil and Angsty Deku?

This thought pondered in my head for countless times, how attractive can Midoriya Izuku be, and how would it turn out for the explosive personality of Bakugou Katsuki.

How do you think of that?

Regrets do come when it’s too late

I never thought reading my mom’s previous messages made me realize how a shitty daughter I am, especially the thought that I neglected her for someone who never thought about me the same way that I did. It’s so heartbreaking, especially that I never apologized for my mom for the last time. I am a shitty daughter, a shitty person that still lived as empty as a shell flowing at the bottom most part of the deepest ocean.

I saw a vid in tiktok and remembered I already knew or lived in that moment, like a de ja vu... The exact video, exact app, exact content, and as I swiped it up, the next vid is the same vid as I saw from that moment... Ever since, I have small moments that I already lived from way before, and was showed from dreams, way back months, days or years...

Maybe I was too distracted to recognize myself...

Remembering my mom from my own cook... It saddens me knowing that I could never taste it again. Also heartbreaking seeing the people eating your cook, thinking the same thing...
