Baby narumitsu aside, is there anything else you think the AA anime brought to the franchise? Or were the changes/ additions really that bad? (Havent played all the games yet😔)

Yeah, I’m afraid baby narumitsu (and baby ‘ziska!) really is the main thing, unfortunately. Those episodes really were the series at its best- they did add a lot of things I like for my own personal canon, like the gay keychains, Miles’ getting his first dog thanks to Phoenix (and more expansion on JUST HOW MUCH MILES LOVES DOGS, thank), The Signal Samurai, Phoenix and Maya posting ridiculous ads on Youtube and Miles being the first-possibly-only person to like them, Fran trying hard to make Miles Smile and looking after her sad brother at first, etc.

There’s also the GAY CHAINS OF FATE in the first op, never forget.

There were a couple small moments here and there I enjoyed and I’ve also enjoyed the fanart with Franziska’s sweet coat:

I think the anime did a good job in giving Maya a few extra cool things to do and showed some love for her, especially in the first two seasons (it kind of dropped off in this season, especially with some of her moments being cut) and I think the backstory ep showing off a little of Maya and Pearl’s childhood and their bond was pretty cute even if it wasn’t super spectacular- the idea of Maya sneaking Pearl out to see the ocean is super sweet, as is the idea it was Mia who introduced her to miso ramen. 

Also at the very last minute it showed us, understatedly, Miles REALLY NERVOUSLY initiating their traditional awkward gay handshake (a Narumitsu staple also seen in the live action movie) only to have Phoenix clasp his hand gently in both of his and hold it there for a minute, and I will also happily take that into my canon too. The next step will be Phoenix pulling the hand closer and up to chest level. He’s got it planned out in his head he knows it needs to be a slow escalation or Miles will overload, and he generally waits for Mies to initiate, he just ups the intimacy slightly each time. When they finally get to ‘hug’ Miles needs two hours to recover BUT IS VERY HAPPY.

But yeah, mostly the anime was a very paint-by-numbers adaptation that mostly condensed things or made them worse. It was cool to see some moments animated, even if it wasn’t stunningly so by any stretch, buuuut. The good original episodes aside, we definitely deserved better.

Sorry I have one brain cell but could you explain how the cactus represents Tsuwabuki’s protectiveness?

Tbh I don’t even know if it’s supported by the narrative, but whenever I see a cactus I’m like “oh that symbolizes a character who defends without thinking” like a leftover reflex from my days of bullshitting my way through undergrad

13, 54, and 95 😄

Idk if you meant the Spotify list or the ask questions thingy so I'm just gonna do both thanksss 😙💕💕💕

13.Alien by Sabrina Carpenter and Jonas Blue (ugh like 8 of her songs are on this playlist I love her so much Sabrina if you're free on Thursday-)

54. Drag by Day Wave (um his music is super depressing but mega relevant to my life during the time I put this album on repeat. It's definitely a song that brings up Feelings now)

95.Dead To Me by Kali Uchis (her album is *chef kiss* but this song is absolutely a big mood for this year)

13.Life Goal: Honestly my life goal is to love and be loved. Ya know? Like I just want to be a positive light. My coworker mentioned how I go out of my way to do things for customers and it's like I do it because all it takes is a couple more seconds of care to really help someone like more people should have this energy. I just want to connect with others and stuff as much as I can while I'm here.

54. Have you ever love someone or do you miss someone right now? Hmm nah. I think all my crushes were infatuations and unrequited so eh. I don't think I've felt love but I'm stoked to experience it one day but that's probably years away cuz whew Chile the Trauma I have lol. And I don't think I miss anyone, I think I miss the idea of that person.

95. Have you ever laughed so hard you cried? Yes :) I laugh at everything so this is probably a daily occurrence.

Hello! I kinda want to make a Shiori (from utena) AMV but I have no idea which song(s) might suit her, any ideas?

dunno! But I’d suggest searching character mixes on 8tracks or playmoss for ideas.

Hey! Since you were talking about Bad Yuri, I'd love to recommend Morishima Akiko to you! She's a mangaka who writes yuri for girls, gay people, and above all, gay girls. My favorite piece of hers is Happy Picture Diary! Good Yuri is rare but... a true blessing to find.

Thanks! I’ve read some of her manga and really enjoyed most of it, including Happy Picture Diary.

In case you didn’t see, here’s a link to the original post that started this discussion, which was actually about good yuri written by lesbians and bi women (someone took issue with the negative generalization at the beginning).

I also wanna rec Moonlight Flowers, Collectors, and everything that’s been translated so far from Phryne Magazine.
