Me, possibly tipsy: I mean, sign ME up.

MY MOM JUST PLAYED “INISHIE NO ONI” ON THE RECORDER FROM THE OTHER ROOM AND NOW WE’RE GONNA WATCH MATSUDA RYO IN THE SECOND MONONOFU PLAY??? I LOVE HER SO MUCH
MY OWN MOTHER JUST SAID MATSUDA RYO IS PRETTIER THAN ME
…TROUBLE IS SHE’S RIGHT
SO MY MOM JUST GOT BACK FROM BEING OUT-OF-STATE AND GOT ME THE… FUCKING… KW ARTBOOK??? LIKE SHE WAS IN JAPANTOWN AND SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT IT BC SHE KNEW IT’D MAKE ME OFF-THE-CHARTS HAPPY??? SHE DIDN’T EVEN LOOK AT THE PRICE TAG
BEST MOTHER 10/10 HOW HAVE I EARNED THIS MUCH FAVOR
I’m rewatching one of my favorite operas, Il Trovatore, and I just realized that it’s basically the Hijikata-Chizuru-Kazama love triangle if Hijikata and Kazama were unknowingly brothers all along. also if Hijikata had a crazy mother and lost the duel at the end, and if Chizuru promised to marry Kazama but poisoned herself to remain faithful, but we just ignore that part [edit: Saito may actually fit this plot better than Hijikata but really I have no idea, all bets are off when I’m comparing otome to opera]
all right, I’m getting sidetracked (to no one’s surprise), but my main point here is that Count di Luna was one of my first fictional crushes and is basically the same person as Kazama. I guess I’m way more predictable than I thought. but why is some operatic villain my crush, you ask?? because
BEHOLD, the origin of my attraction to silver hair and villainy. I would probably die if someone drew Kazama in this costume ok. …I was struggling to find added justification for posting this on this blog, since it’s like 90% Verdi and 10% Hakuōki, but my mother just gave it to me.
My mother, unbidden, as Our Heroine brandishes poison: Nooooo! Don’t take the Water of Life! She just… turns into a fury and—well, I guess the Count already is one, because his hair is white… Never mind. Good match.
how do I make a rough day better? mother knows best~
My mother, shouting through the house: If the collected hits of "Oklahoma!" combined with Kazama's medley could kindly get OUT of my head––!! Knock it off!!!
