Highlights from last week’s hangout with spinelstar and manicferret …
Watching Kuroko no Basuke. A lot of Kuroko no Basuke. My friends are very nice for humoring me.
Finishing the Yousen match and hearing manicferret call Murasakibara her spirit animal, BECAUSE YES, I APPROVE. Also referring to him as “the giant purple child” and/or “giant purple baby” (especially when we get to the whole I’m-not-crying-shut-up-I-have-a-towel-on-my-head scene).
Bonding with manicferret over how Haizaki really needs to stop licking his fingers after touching the basketball, because omg, that seriously bugs me. (We are maybe both germophobes? //laughs)
Deciding that Takao’s passes to Midorima during their match against Rakuzan are the most married thing ever, and thus the game will now be referred to as “The Orange Wedding.” It’s like the Red Wedding but with less angst and tragedy, okay maybe it’s not really that different, dammit Akashi I love you but that was still stone cold
Watching spinelstar and manicferret sample hard cider, especially when they both start freaking out about how one seems to “disappear” in a weird way on their tastebuds? At which point it earns the most awesome name in the history of beverages: “Kuroko no Cider.”
Listening to manicferret ponder the relationship between Murasakibara and Himuro. Trying not to blurt out, “YOU SHOULD WRITE FANFIC ABOUT THEM.” Eventually blurting out, “YOU SHOULD WRITE FANFIC ABOUT THEM.” Being ridiculously excited when she says she’ll consider it.
Convincing manicferret to join Tumblr. THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE.
Rambling until like 5 a.m. about cognitive functions (thank you rose-selavy, and also akashiseijuro4!). And also about KnB, of course, and how you can ship almost anything in it and just how great it is in general.
Hearing manicferret say she loves Kuroko, and Kagami, and everyone on Seirin. THIS IS A BIG DEAL, GUYS. She rarely ever likes protagonist characters/teams. IT IS PROOF SEIRIN IS AWESOME. She also loves Kise (again, not her usual type at all) and also Aomine (much more her usual type) and tons of the characters. Which makes me super happy.
Listening to KnB songs the next day while we all sit around and doodle and write stuff. My life is now complete, basically.
There are probably a lot of others but I can’t remember the specifics because the important thing here is Kuroko no Basuke and awesome friends ahhhhh
