earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

Hey, remember when I became a Free! blog for four days? Anyway, that's over now. I wanna start something new (to me), so all these options are new (to me), and while this poll is running, I'm gonna watch the One Piece Live Action to harass odderbops with it (/lh).
If you're new here, I run polls to decide what anime to watch.
As always, propaganda* (*yapping) below the cut. If you want to reblog, you're allowed to. You do not have to know me, follow me, like me, or like/know/have watched any of the shows to vote.
Which Anime?
This is how your email finds me - Aggretsuko
The adventures of ramen boy - Naruto
You're telling me this is the male gays? - Cherry Magic!
Deer suplex - Nichijou - My Ordinary Life
This is how OHSHC can still win - Kimi no Todoke: From Me to You
I still don't really know what Bleach is - Bleach
Voting ended onFeb 19, 2025
Propaganda:
Aggretsuko - I've been playing a lot of Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
Naruto - Can y'all believe I've never seen Naruto? Anyway, since we crossed a couple of my "need to finish"es off the list, might as well try for some other long-runners, right? (Two in this poll alone!) This poll option will count for Season 1 of Naruto.
Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! - Just turned 27. 3 more years until asexual wizard powers.
Nichijou - My Ordinary Life - I'm still not 100% sure what this is, but it's weird, it's got great animation, and the people that live on my Tumblr dash seem to like it.
Kimi no Todoke: From Me to You - Not to take space away from what I'm sure will be an amazing romance anime but why. Why couldn't it have been Ouran. (I still wanna watch this though it looks so cute).
Bleach - Yeah, still not sure. But long-running series. And I'm sure I will end up Unwell about some characters. This poll option will count for Seasons 1 and 2 of Bleach.
At 29, Adachi is just a regular salaryman working in an office until his 30th birthday. Apparently being a virgin when you're 30 can turn you into a wizard! Now he suddenly has the power to read the mind of anyone he touches and it's overwhelming. Adachi tries to avoid touching people, but when he accidentally touches the popular office hottie, he learns that Kurosawa has a crush on him! Adachi would never believe the perfect Kurosawa could like a wallflower like him, but Adachi can't deny the truth of Kurosawa's thoughts.
This was a cute and fun series. We loved watching Adachi and Kurosawa navigate their relationship and the side couple was a cute, added bonus. This was a lighter, fun watch with little drama and a sweet ending.
Ending: Happy and cute
Tears: none for us, just a few feels
Main Couple: queer
Side Couple: queer
Romance Scenes: basically non existent, plot relevant confirmation of off-screen sex
