when you realize you've become the new popular character on Pixiv
Blossom, Grace, and Fortune extremely confused for a moment, feeling like somebody was talking about them
(only learns this week that the fairy mascot for this year's Precure season is voiced by Emiri Katou) "I'm so glad we ran this joke into the ground last year with Purirun's well-meaning incompetence and all the meme quota for this season is being used up on Kamen Rider W references and Luluka's ice cream obsession" "Wait what do you mean Purirun was Yoshino Nanjo, of course that season would have used a seiyuu from - (explodes)"
is this what it feels like to work in retail

me: nah I'm not really a goth tbh like I love the music of the subculture and I love all types of goth fashion and i do like wearing a lot of black clothing but I'm not sure that I count as one?
also me: hmm... I think ill spend the eve of my 30th birthday laying on my bed listening to Disintegration in full very loudly in the dark by candlelight 🕸️🖤🕷️🕯️
I have finally listened to Seventeen Seconds for the first time while on a train journey that was severely soured by several delays and a surprise detour of my train. I had to run to the one that actually got to my destination in like 3 minutes, to the beat of A Forest.
Then the train I went to was so poorly ventilated I started to have a headache.
4/10 album, in my extremely objective opinion
I can't think of a more resonant and evocative way to experience Seventeen Seconds for the first time, tbh
