yesterday was the ‘Clean Up Anzu’ session!

at first I couldn’t tell whether she was genuinely calm, or just shut down due to stress/fear. then Pangur stuck her head round the corner and Anzu puffed up her soggy haggles, pumped blood into her face to make her facial skin all red, and started making HORRIFYING dinosaur throat noises! so no, she has no problem voicing displeasure and really was super chill during the spa session

my poor bird, the Problems were revealed during the blow-drying stage. the seller warned me Anzu had been penned with a rooster who beat the shit out of her, and yeah! so many broken feather quills all down her back, with her primaries/secondaries looking partially plucked

and the LICE! the tub was full of drowned bugs when I drained it. she had black spots scattered through her feathers, which I didn’t recognize as dead feather lice until I saw 2 live ones scurry out of sight. EUGHH! poor girl also had clumps of egg sacks on her feather bases all down her left side - it felt like an Alien movie lifting her wing to reveal them

Anzu looks like a living cloud all cleaned up, and there weren’t any hard feelings today! she’s still the only one to eat from my hand (meaning she got Exclusive pumpkin seeds and a bit of cheese rind this morning)

medication is on its way, so with luck those nasty ass eggs can be chemically killed before they hatch. but holy shit, she’s gonna look like a different bird after she molts those rooster-bitten lice-eaten feathers, and will FEEL so much better when not actively being devoured!

“Well... Don’t.... waste it.” Atem already has the idea in his head, Anzu, you’ve failed.

*slaps the top of the early yugioh manga* this can bad boy can fit so much casual sexual harassment in it!

Rewatching Yu-Gi-Oh! now makes me feel increasingly sad for Anzu. She’s so strong and supportive, giving her friends all she’s got. Then Atem appears, the other Yugi, and she cares for him so strongly. Saying she’s in love is an assumption - but it’s very clear she pays a lot more attention to him than to the others. However, she realizes that in due time they will never see each other again and thus keeps all her thoughts to herself.

While the guys are rushing from battle to battle, she’s only ever a side character who doesn’t get to show her feelings beyond keeping everyone sane… I am personally more interested in how she feels than in Mai and Jounouchi’s attempt at playing hard to get.

Anzu’s favorite food (because she has excellent taste) is ramen.

So I want everyone to take a moment and just imagine---just, just imagine her face when she gets to New York to study dance, and goes grocery shopping for food to keep in her dorm . . . and sees the disgusting forty-cent packs of “ramen” that we sell here in America. I just imagine her out with her American roommates, and when she says, “What . . . what is this?!” and they tell her that it’s ramen, she just has a massive NOPE reaction and, mayhaps, finds access to a kitchen after she finds a Japanese supermarket (to get the proper ingredients, like proper noodles and such) and shows them what actual ramen looks and tastes like.

Because I mean, even konbini ramen is good in Japan, from what I hear. The garbage we put up with cannot even begin to compare.

It's just not complete without some Anzu bashing is it?
