Just look at how much they’ve grown. Despite all the hardships and struggles they have been through, despite getting crushed and trampled on, they still managed to rise up with a genuine smile. The darkness had made them shine even brighter, we love you Trigger💙

So now that we’re super close to the end of Third Beat (and in particular have passed balcony which I was always going to have Thoughts about the adaptation of), I’m putting to text some thoughts I’ve had (positive and some a little negative) about Third Beat’s adaptation choices with both 28-29 and overall with Momo and a little bit with Yuki over the course of the season. There’s some stuff that had to be missed/skipped out on due to time constraints, which I do understand, but I do think some of it is really good to know so you could also consider this a bit of a shorthand crash course on stuff that’s a bit different for anime-onlies who are curious how things went down in the game. That said, I always rec reading the game story if you have time because a lot of Re:vale’s shenanigans have to get cut for time in the anime; Part 2 to Part 3 Chapter 10 and the rest of Part 3 were both done by translators on Tumblr. Dodge Part 3 Chapter 20 until next week if you don’t want spoilers and you’re all good. With that said, on to the ~meta~

Track #2

Normal. Real. Grounded.

I've always believed that you should be you and that I should be me. But then, the more you reach your dream, the farther you will be from me. I, too, am afraid that if I go my way, I might move farther from you. While we might have different paths to take, can't we look forward to come home to each other at the end of the day?

Or are our worlds too different that we can only exist in a dream? Our halfway point a halfway world where you are a star and I am a fan. I realize I don't even know half of who you are. I'm okay with sharing you with thousands of others. I'm wrapping my head around the fact that the chances of being with you is next to zero. Am I a fool for falling for fantasy?

Apparently, that is the exact opposite of who I strive to be. Still, I continue to work towards my best self, with you as inspiration. It feels good to be able to write these down. While I want to keep these thoughts and feelings off my chest, I don't want to burden you in any way. You keep on proving to me that life is worth living. Now, my waking moments are better than any dream.

Track #1

I am desperate... Swiping through the cold glass Longing for your warmth Searching for a signal Patiently waiting

Reality check No matter how many times I get to see you No amount of chance Will make us close There will always be A barrier between us Cold as glass Warm as this phone Against my hand

#12 Thirteen Ways to Say I Love You

S.Coups: Take care of him. Seungcheol was so used to taking care of others he forgot what it felt like to be taken care of. Of course, that’s when you came along. You were there for him in the times when he needed someone the most. You listened to him, gave him advice, and held him in your arms when he felt that the world was crashing down on him. It was hard for him to get used to someone taking care of him but it was something he needed. Seungcheol no longer cared about the sky falling on him… he knew that you would be right beside him because you loved him.

Jeonghan: Take naps with him. The moments Jeonghan enjoyed the most was when he pulled you closer to him in his sleep. Even though you weren’t really a nap person, he appreciated that you were willing to wait for him to fall asleep at three in the afternoon. And sometimes, you would fall asleep too. It’s because you felt so calm around Jeonghan—enough for you to let down your guard…. because you were in love with him.

Joshua: Listen to him playing guitar. It didn’t matter when or where you were, Jisoo wanted to play the guitar for you. Even if you stopped doing something important like doing your homework he enjoyed that you dropped everything just for him. You softly hummed along with the song he was playing, closing your eyes and falling asleep to the tune, even when you were listening but not 100% was the reason why he played. He liked being the background music of your life—because he loves you.

Jun: Dream with him. Junhui was the observant type and he couldn’t help but notice how you looked at the clouds as if they were painting the dreams of your future. He fell in love with you so quickly that he no longer had a reason to look up the sky. After all, you were the one doing all the dreaming. He didn’t mind, though. He was so in love with you that he no longer had a reason to be stuck in his dreams when reality was better. Junhui was wondering… when is reality going to be better for you, too?

Hoshi: Dance with him. No matter how much you told Soonyoung that you sucked at dancing, he encouraged you even more. And no, we’re not talking about a full-out planned choreography; we’re talking about dancing in your pj’s at 2AM. He loved seeing you wildly flair your arms through the air or swing your hips in the weirdest way possible. Soonyoung liked seeing you just be you. And he also enjoyed the fact that you were comfortable enough to dance in front of his as if he wasn’t watching. The crazy things love makes you do…

Wonwoo: Read books with him. As strange as it sounds it’s just the way things were between you guys. Every time you and Wonwoo had dates, books were involved. Sitting across from Wonwoo in your matching beanies and scarves in a café was just another daily routine at this point. As time passed and the more books he read together with you, Wonwoo realize that there was something that he loved more than reading: you. You were another universe on your own. The story between you and him was something that he would reread over and over again—because he loved you.

Woozi: Pour coffee for him. It was a simple gesture but Jihoon couldn’t help but feel more loved when you poured him a cup. He was so busy with his schedule that it was hard for him to make the coffee that he enjoyed. But that’s why you are there to help him. When he was at home, you boiled the water for the instant coffee he liked and when you visited Jihoon at work, you would stop by a coffee shop and get him an Americano. It may seem like a task that would eventually become a burden but that wasn’t the case for you. You did it because you loved him.

DK: Laugh at his jokes. Even the sunshine gets self conscious about what kind of joke to say next. No, really, there were times Seokmin was insecure about his “happy virus” title. However, you were the one that washed away all those insecurities. No matter how lame his jokes were, you always laughed at them. And though he was shy to admit it, your laugh was the reason he fell in love with you— he fell even harder because he was the reason why you were laughing.

Mingyu: Eat with him. Every date you guys had together were walking around the streets of Seoul to taste different food. Eating were the moments when you and Mingyu bonded the most. Yes, eating was something that brought you both to love each other more. It was natural for you and Mingyu to be there to encourage each other to eat that strange course of food. It’s just what love does to you: when even missing a meal together was way too lonely for both sides.

The8: Talk to him. Minghao was always a little bit more on the quiet side but that doesn’t mean he enjoyed it. He just never had anyone to talk to. That change when he met you. Since you were more on the chatty side, he had no choice but to speak. And he loved it. He loved you, he loved listening you chatter away about your day but he also liked the fact that you also asked him to talk about his days. No matter how much he looks at it, he notices that you guys formed an immediate connection.

Seungkwan: Sing to him. Seungkwan was so used to singing for everyone that he never knew the magic of having someone else sing for him. Your soft voice was all it took to calm him down. It was your voice that let him forget all his troubles even though it was just for a moment. Every single time a musical note left your mouth he couldn’t help but fall even deeper in love with you. Even if your voice cracked because of how soft you were singing him to sleep. It was hard to find a voice like yours. It was a voice that was just for him, it was a voice that he grew to love.

Vernon: Actually say I love you. Hansol can be dense when it comes to romantic feelings so it didn’t hurt to say your words instead of demonstrating them. He couldn’t help but get red in the face when you randomly blurted out those three words. In the streets, in the practice room, even on the couch when you guys were watching Disney movies. He has been meaning to say, no scream, something to you. “I LOVE YOU MORE!”

Dino: Notice the little things about him. Chan was always in his own little world and sometimes it took you to pull him down from having his heads in the clouds. Of course, that didn’t mean constantly interrupting his daydreaming. It meant you telling him how much you loved seeing him put on a slight smile when he thought about something funny and how the sparkle in his eyes when he’s dancing makes you want to dance too. He was so used to being ignored by everyone but for once in his life he felt noticed—he felt loved.

To Become

Sometimes I want to be upset over the universe and this force field that’s separating me from finding love, making it so elusive, and having me feel the same impossibilities over and over again.

Sometimes I can’t help but give in, to wallow alone in my apartment while listening to a Spotify playlist entitled “Just cry. Sad songs”, to contemplate over what I have done wrong, and to evaluate whether I’ve been putting myself out there enough for all three ingredients of chemistry, timing and proximity to shed light on my moment of deliverance from the stigma of the single status..

But after I indulge on these cinematic moments of staring blankly at the ceiling, pondering on love like a character from a Sofia Coppola film, I come to my senses that I have to hold back the dramatic lonely nights and stop doing this to myself.

For the past few years, I’ve had deep crushes on really interesting guys I’d like to hold hands and share warm conversations with, yet the circumstances just do not permit it to be. So I just admire them from where I am, and wish them the best.

One thing I realized from the perils of liking one-way is that you get to a point where you want to reverse things and want to feel that way for yourself. I want to be how I see them, to become a genuinely likable and admirable person that I would want to meet and hang out with my own person. I want to be like those crushes I’ve had — someone I would want to get stuck in Edsa traffic with without minding the long ride because her song choices and tiny stories are unguardedly bearing her soul and it’s keeping you in good company, someone I would want to get drunk on red wine with talking about childhood dreams and life anxieties, someone I wouldn’t wait 45 minutes to reply to because I never want the conversation to end, someone I would want to be standing next to when the new year counts down to 3-2-1 just because she’s worth all next 365 days.

This single life is a constant pursuit of learning and unlearning, of building up and tearing my down myself until I become a whole person worthy to love and be loved. Sounds all too cheesy on paper, but pretty rational in reality.

So I want to become a better person in the little ways that I can: to be less judgmental and condescending, to feel more empathy and act upon it, to complain less and be more patient to others, to situations, and to myself.

Maybe one day I’ll meet him along the way as I do my usual rounds of being and loving myself - one lovely day in a corner cafe while I’m reading Murakami over my afternoon brew, one lovely day in the cinema while watching a film fest, one lovely day in a gig while swaying our hands to the rhythm of the music, one lovely day in a 4 hour trek in the romantic mountains of the Cordilleras… maybe one lovely day.

Until then, I am here, becoming myself.
