Chapters one through thirteen of Strawberry Milkshake are up! ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶ I'm adding one to two chapters a day, so if you'd like to read my personal idea of how Miya and Koyomi would become friends, please check it out

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

My personal ramblings and headcanons are all under the cut

—

Since we know very little about Koyomi, I made up a bunch of headcanons about her. I like to think she's a bubbly, enthusiastic girl with a supportive best friend because female friendships are fun to write about. And I gave her an interest in shojo manga because why not? Plus I like to imagine that Reki reads all her manga and pretends not to

—

Miya being a jerk to people is part of his defense mechanism and I think that would have made it a bit hard for him and Koyomi to get along at first, but they'd end up becoming good friends once they discovered some common ground

—

IIRC The design on Miya's board is based on a puzzle game, but I haven't been able to find a name for it, so I made one up

—

I think Miya's parents are good people, but there are things he feels he can't share with them, so he turns to other parental substitutes. Koyomi likewise has a good family who cares for her, but there are also things she feels she can't share with them

—

Chapter eight is my favorite chapter because writing Koyomi and Miya as siblings who pester their older brothers and think they know better than them was super fun

—

I wrote the entirety of chapter thirteen while listening to Stereopony's "I Do It". Actually, the bulk of this fic was written while listening to Stereopony. Their music fits the vibe for my headcanons for Koyomi and I highly recommend them

—

Strawberry Milkshake takes place some time after Hearts in Limbo, so there's a secondary storyline involving Reki and Langa in Strawberry Milkshake

—

Most of this fic takes place in February and early March because I wanted to write birthday celebrations for Langa and Miya. This fic was also written as a birthday present for one of my friends, so birthdays all around (◕‿◕)♡

Anime of the day: Mobile Suit Gundam 00

Released: 2007

I would argue that this is my favorite Gundam, it was also kind of my first Gundam so it’s weirdly special to me. I remember watching this on like Syfy or something and it was always on at the weirdest time but I always managed to watch it. The basic idea is that society sucks and this group called “Celestial Being” wants to change the world. To do this they use Gundams. The characters are nice because they aren’t cookie cutter and they all have their own opinions on things. Plus it’s not a straight up war. Celestial Being will pick a fight with anyone who uses weapons. I mean they are like the total opposite of Switzerland. This concept is really an interesting premus to watch play out. I did find parts of season two to be a little more confusing that I originally expected. I also haven’t decided on my feelings toward the movies yet, but I guess I’ll get there.

There are quite a few openings and endings to this anime. I guess I’ll cover the ones I like. "DAYBREAK'S BELL" by L'arc~en~Ciel is the original so it’s an instead classic. “罠" by The Back Horn is the original ending, it’s pretty alright. "Ash Like Snow" by the brilliant green is the second opening, it’s decent. I didn’t like the second ending ("Friends" by Stephanie ). It wasn't bad, it was just meh. I feel like the second season is where the music really kicks it up a notch. "Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi" by UVERworld is my personal favorite (it’s easier to find it by artist than song). I love this opening. It’s fire. "Namida no Mukou" by Stereopony is the second season's second opening. It’s good, but not as fire as UVERworld’s. "Prototype" by Chiaki Ishikawa is probably my favorite ending of this anime. I really used to hate this ending, because it would sneak up on me while watching, but I ended up loving it. "Trust You" by Yuna Ito is probably the weakest of the whole lot. I totally forgot how many openings and endings this anime had. Weird.
