-"Here" by Junna (aka the greatest Yuki Kajiura-esque song that a teenager could have ever sung my girl Junna is my age and I will forever gas her up!)
i guess i can't escape animanga tumblr at all the second i saw this trailer on twitter i screamed bc 1.) i was thinking about ancient magus bride when i celebrated the beautiful ending of sacrificial princess a few weeks ago and 2.) ?!?! ppl aren't really talking about it on anitwitter?
i'll never forget how thrilled i was when i stumbled upon the curious thumbnail of mahou tsukai no yome online and found it to be my perfect spiritual successor to the "earl and fairy" celtic lore of my youth. double that emotion when its first anime adaptation came onto my screen (somewhere in that video i linked is a mini essay comment of my thrills LOL) and led to many excited moments of pretty colors and sequences.
now i'm not even just thrilled i feel super satisfied (^-^) people love the world kore yamazaki has created with its odes to different mythologies and story that has so many cheering on precious chise's happiness. i'm hoping the fact that the original season 1 staff are making their own studio to produce season 2 means the series is having natsume yuujinchou-level projections of success--will forever stan brain's base for natsume + its offshoot studio shuka!
hope all the shoujo + fantasy fans on tumblr are having a field day bc i know i'm most definitely ready to see chise's college days come to life 🥺 so excited to see all the fellow students! am also again really really hoping the formation of studio kafka signifies ancient magus' bride's ability to succeed in the mainstream (>.<)/ fingers crossed here! (there was even actual fantasy erotica inspired by it so you never know--LMAO i'd read the actual book on KU before seeing vtuber twitter explode over it so if ppl are curious look up duskwalker brides)
marimoirl moment: i'm in a really weird limbo stage right now in life trying to job-hunt while staying afloat money/mental-wise but i was happy to not feel super existential over something happening next spring for once aha. i'm really looking forward to having the whimsical-magic-and-peaceful-yet-melancholic-atmosphere of ancient magus bride 2 come into the world next year 🥺🤞 am also keeping my fingers crossed that my life will look a bit different in the right direction by then!
manifesting, manifesting; but also working, and most importantly, hoping with all my heart 💗🙏
i downloaded genshin impact (mobile) and ah someone save me from what i think i will become...
i haven't played an open world game since i was like 15 and i think i'm about to become such a fixated unproductivity monster oh my
these visuals! are! unimaginable!!!! esp considering that i'm playing this on my small phone screen and my v nearsighted (and astigmatic) eyes can make out everything from the sparkling trail left by butterflies to item drops while my ears are graced by such a whimsical and peaceful soundtrack.
it's been maybe 2 hours (i think bc it's been a few rick and morty episodes in the background now lol) since i downloaded this and it's already past the start of my "sleep window" to reset my sleep cycle bc #insomniathings i'm cackling
it's actually really nice to just do something mindless and still get such fulfillment versus me trying to figure out what to do to fill my time and becoming a jaded hipster since i'm not actively interested in my usual go-tos rn lol.
i've fiddled w amber and i think this girl is adorable (red is my irl trademark + i love strong confident women) but this aim fn isn't it so i'll stick w my mossball-named traveler with her sword for now <3
tl;dr marimo is super happy rn bc this is a lot of fun but also big u.u bc i really need to be prepping this senior thesis aHA
