A bit of a recap and some more Lani lore. We've jumped back a bit to before Lani returns to Alola. What do you do when you know what will eventually happen? How do you make the most of the moment? Can you? Should you?

Featuring Daki by @anime-grimmy . If you want a bit more of Daki's lore you can see it there.

Growing up, I carried this burning shame for loving anime. Even while I was secretly staying up all night with my eyes glued to fics and buying all the manga I could with my allowance, I was careful never to let anyone know that I was 'one of those.'

Eventually, I found that the energy it took to hide and pretend that I didn't like what I liked far outstripped the energy it took to deal with the teasing or disapproval. And these days, when I look at anime and a story like Chainsaw Man, I see all the layered meaning Fujimoto wove into it. I see all the precious care Mappa took in animating every moment. I don't see how anyone could miss all that or why I would ever be ashamed when they're the ones missing something.a

So a little TMI I have seasonal depression but not like what I feel like most people think of when they think of seasonal depression because I don't get depressed in the winter I get depressed in the summer. So I've been in a little bit of a depressive funk and during this time I've been watching a lot of vertical dramas especially historical vertical dramas and I realized one how much I love them but two how absolutely batshit insane some of the premises are in terms of we met once and you better remember me.

I'm currently watching a historical vertical sea drama I don't remember what the fuck the name of it is. But the whole premise is a woman who met a man when they were children oh so many years ago and they kind of like each other but he was actually secretly the prince but the king didn't like him for whatever reason. Which is why he was out playing with like common children. Fast forward years later that was when they were like seven and eight now they're in their 20s.

He's back in the capital cuz for whatever reason he left at some point as a child. Her family has risen up in the social hierarchy. Because the King still does not like him it's one of those good ass dramas where there's cross-dressing and he is dressed like a woman.

Again I have not finished the drama yet but I'm about halfway through it and she does not recognize him rightfully so dress like a woman she's confused on why this random woman was trying to hand her a hairpin and has been low-key following her around everywhere. He is being an absolute petty little gremlin bitch and doing everything he can to make her life just slightly more miserable than it needs to be in certain situations because she does not recognize him or their hair pin.

Again this is something that happened when they were like seven and eight. She has lived in entire life from what I can tell from context clues they're both supposed to be in like their early twenties it's been over 10 years while he's been sitting there thinking about this this entire time and it's one of the few things that kept him going in the countryside she continued to grow up interact with other people. And watch her family get better in society she's not thinking about that one child way back when she was like seven who was being bullied and she protected and gave a damn hairpin to.

And it makes me realize that I would never be good at these type of stories like if it was me and it was just all of a sudden I was supposed to remember someone from like 20 years ago I barely remember what half of the people I went to high school look like. I barely remember what some of my family members who I don't talk to look like and some of them I literally saw just last year I had a fucking funeral like you cannot expect me to remember when someone looks like at a crucial period in time when let's be honest I probably sat there and stood up for several damn people cuz that's just how my personality is it's one of the things that helps me and my family become higher up in nobility being smart and standing up for the little guy so I'm sorry if I don't remember you being one of the first people I did that too when I was like eight.

I don't know I just always find that premise that happens sometimes hilarious that or the I will do anything for this person cuz they saved me but low key they actually didn't save me it was this other person who I've been treating like trash this whole time and now I found out that I was lied to and I'm trying to get that other person to like me. Or some variation of that but we were both reborn and now they're avoiding the hell out of me and I'm trying to make up for our past life while also believing that they don't remember that we lived in entire life together where I treated them like trash because I genuinely believe that they're insert cousin's sister best friend was the one that actually saved me and not them.

△Do you ever wonder what would have happened if you hadn’t given up?

All the time.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the possibility of me becoming more than what I am.

I could have been somewhere else, learning new things, achieving things I couldn't even dream of doing now.

Hell, that kid became the Champion of Alola. That could've been me!

I think it's too late now, though.

But I think about it all the time.

Drake: Whats your favorite memory?

//anonymous asks are off, thought I should let you know in case that wasn’t intentional//

Thanks for the heads up about the anons being off! That should be fixed now. Drake: What's your favorite memory? My favorite memory, huh? I think my favorite memory is the day I met my best friend. My Mimikyu! I was training my Litten and she jumped out at us. I'd never seen anything like her before! It was my first time away from Akala Island, Ula'ula was so different from everything I was used to. So. I was training for my next trial, and out pops this raggedy little thang and obviously I had to catch it! She joined me on my journey and we've been best friends since. Mimikyu was there when Litten got out and never came back, she was there when I joined Team Skull, she was there when I faced Nanu and lost over and over. I think seeing her is my favorite memory. It really feels like the day my life as a Trainer finally began. Also fun fact, Po Town didn't used to be shut away from the rest of the region. It was actually really nice.
