Happy birthday :)) I hope you've had a wonderful day !!

thankyou 🩷💕 I did! except i got kinda not good boba, and until misha started relentlessly bullying me when i countered and refuted his “bukkake is wasteful, cum is for making werewolf pups” argument in a masterful way and decided to remove my academic argument from its context and put me on blast 😔 some people’s only response to an academic challenge is bullying

!!!! You're watching train to the end of the world as well ?!? :)

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! an oh my god i am enjoying it soooooooooooooo much i adore the eerie vibe so much and just. the idea of the plot itself of the girls following along a railway line in a post-apocalyptic world is too good. it's curing me of my every ailment i really hope it keeps up with this quality i am having soooo much fun in discovering each stop !!! love seeing how that 7G thing has affected each population and the changes in their mentalities according to their situation...... all while learning bits of the girls' own relationships, i love it

[kirk-goes-to-gallifrey]

Ooohhh!!! Bsd my beloved !!! I hope you enjoy :)) second season was my fav<-fav character shows up

👀👀👀👀

Now I'm super curious! I'll see if I can start it tomorrow hehehe

I'm enjoying it so far. It took a while to hook me, the first few eps weren't super addictive to me, so I had to insist for a bit before I started to WANT to watch it 😅

But the characters are really interesting! And their interactions and past relationships, all very compelling :3

As always, watching stuff cause you put fanart on my dash never disappoints lol

Cpuld u tell me a bit a Caligula effect? I keep seeing u talk abt it and I'm intrigued .. also music ? It's a music media (?)

Hi! I'm glad i got you interested in this series ^^ The Caligula Effect is a videogame series, written by Takuya Yamanaka, who's more famous for also being the writer behind Milgram. The plot, at least in the first game is that it's about this virtual reality called Mobius where people can go to fulfill their deepest wishes, this world was created by the virtuadolls µ and Aria to make humans happy. Virutadolls are basically in universe vocaloids. In this world everyone is turned into high school students and they will never age and will repeat high school for as long as they're here. A group of students realizes this world is fake and decide to escape and go back to reality, hence why they call themselves the Go-Home Club. At the same time there's the Ostinato Musicians, a group of people who are aware of Mobius being fake but they want to stay and keep Mobius as it is for their own reasons so they work with µ to stop the Go-Home Club.

That's how the main story goes. But the games also have something called Character Scenarios. These work like the social links in persona though less complicated to unlock. These are important because this is pretty much where you'll learn everything about the characters, something that both games do is that you don't actually get to learn much from them during the mains story. Like you do learn mostly about their views and personalities but you never truly learn about their backstories or why they're here in the first place. That's reserved for the scenarios, this is where you truly learn about these characters and what their problems are. And these are honestly the best part of the game imo.

Another important thing to clarify is that the first game has a remake Caligula Effect Overdose, which adds four new characters, two in each group and also has the musician route. This is a new path in the main story where you get to play as a musician, so after every two dungeons or so there will be segments where you play as a one with the other musicians as your party members, this also gives the musicians their own character scenarios which is great to fully flesh them out and make you sympathize better with them. The remake is the one you should go for since is the most complete.

Some warnings about it tho, the second and third dungeons can be pretty uncomfortable and hard to get through. The second one because the musician here is canonically a trans woman and she's not exactly treated super well during the main story since she's constantly misgendered, deadnamed and experiences fatphobic comments even after her dungeon's done. This wouldn't be so bad since you know it shows how even the people you're sided with can be assholes and be terrible. But after a certain point it becomes tiring and annoying and many of the scenes depicting this have an almost mocking tone. Her character is great though and i love her scenario and the things it discusses, but again the way she's treated in the main story makes the first part of the game hard to get through. As for the third musician he uhh is a creep, and you see him trying and succeeding at peeping on other women during the game. Yeah, it's not good obviously. These two asoects really make the first part of the game hard to get through and honestly a lot of my problems with the game come from these two. I do think everything afterwards is good though. If you want some further warnings you can check out the doesthedogdie page.

Now that was all for the first game, but there's also a second game, and honestly i'm gonna be honest i have a lot of problems with the first game but if there's any reason why i'd recommend it is so you can play the second game, because imo it's better than the first one but i don't think you should jump straight into that one because a lot of the game's plot is built on the first one's and it's just better if you understand all the things they're referencing, a character from the first game even returns. Kinda follows the same formula as the first one, virtual reality, group of people trying to escape, musicians trying to stop them, but i think it pulls it off a lot better. But again you do need to know the events in the first game to understand it better.

Oh yeah you mentioned music, it's not a music based series as like, let's say Milgram is but music is a big part of it because virtuadolls are a big part in the series and again they're just vocaloids. The soundtrack is awesome and the game uses it in a very creative way. Each dungeon has it's own theme, written in universe by the musician in that dungeon, and all the songs are sung by the the main virtuadoll in each game (µ in the first one and Regret in the second one), with the lyrics being personal to each musician. The way it works in gameplay is that when exploring the dungeon, an instrumental version of the song plays, when entering a battle the vocals start playing, and when facing against the boss a remix version of the song plays. It's so good to hear during gameplay and it never gets tiring, and again all the songs are bangers. AND to keep up with the vocaloid feel, each song in both games was composed by a vocaloid producer. And if you're curious yes, Deco27 also worked here, and this is how he and Yamanaka met.

If you're interested in getting into it, let me know so i can send you the playthroughs i watched if you can't or don't feel playing it.

Taichi bestuyaku my beloved

who is this?

[yume-fanfare]

One thing I really apprecaite about train to the end of the world is the visuals and design aspect of everything .. cause it kinda feels like the girls don't totally fit in with the art style of the world they're in which makes sense since they're supposed to change like the others in their town.. or at least that's how it feels to me.. like they fit aesthetically but something is off at the same time .. which if intentional or not is a really nice touch.

IT'S SOOO GOOD the visual style is so nice and i really do like how they appear out of place too......... they're visiting all those places they don't belong in, and neither do they really fit in their own town. it's def intentional, the horrors of being a teenage girl, i really like it

[kirk-goes-to-gallifrey]

wither way I hope you enjoyed its.. quote a beautiful manga I think abt it all the time.. just sigh it's so good

Idk if my answer on the other ask was intelligible

I had a lot of feelings lol

But yeah I loved the anime! I bet the manga is even better but now that I already watched the anime I'm not sure I want to read it 🙈

But maybe I should've read it instead of watching... Idk

I didn't know I was gonna like it so much otherwise I would've definitely gone for the manga

shidou 7 14 and 17 :)

7. favorite relationships with another character if they weren't in milgram, the way you'd imagine or would like them to be?

This is hard, mostly because Shidou is just very difficult for me to really grasp as a character. If they weren't in Milgram i think he'd get along great with Mahiru and Mikoto. Maybe they all bump into each other by coincidence one day, they have fun hanging out and would keep in contact every now and then. Though it'd definetely be Mahiru and Mikoto doing most of the talking

14. any headcanons on their appearance?

This is sort of implied already but he must have more moles through all his body. Specifically he should have more in his arms.

17. which vocaloid producers do you think suit them?

I don't know enough about vocaloid producers to answer this sorry :(

[reloaderror]

Was tagged by @cloudbends to answer 15, though i can only count 14, questions.

are you named after anyone? Yes, after both my maternal and paternal great-grandmothers, which you'd think would make for a double-name kinda situation, but no. they just happened to have the same name.

when was the last time you cried? Probably a couple weeks ago, for no particular reason as one does.

do you have kids? i have a pretty decent monstera

do you use sarcasm a lot? yeah. But — i don't know if this is because my delivery is off or it's because I've been sarcastic too often — people often think im being sarcastic when im not. so there's that.

what sports do you play? funny

what's the first thing you notice about people? not sure i don’t really think theres one thing in particular i notice that’s consistent enough for me to be conscious of it

what's your eye color? somewhere in the enigmatic blue green gray area

scary movies or happy endings? both

any special talents? in my family this is considered a talent anyway: raising a single eyebrow.

what are your hobbies? drawing, reading, I also occasionally pick up my clarinet or one of my many recorders, and napping. avid napper. might go pro

do you have pets? I personally don't, but we have a family dog. Technically it's my sister's dog but as she aptly put it at the age of 16: "Who buys a dog for a 15 year old". So

how tall are you? 166cm. maybe

favourite subject in school? english and sociology

dream job? don't particularly dream of labour but I'm fairly content with my current job and workplace in particular, wouldn't want to do anything else I think.

@codejolteon

y’all remind yourselves your account is your space. you’re not a performance. you’re not annoying by being yourself. if people aren’t into it they can leave. you’re not obligated to please anyone, especially at the cost of your personal expression. the worst thing you can do for your online enjoyment is to filter or censor yourself.

[kirk-goes-to-gallifrey]

!!!!!! Nabari no ou!!!! Your thoughts !! <-if you want to share no pressure at all :)

I fucking loved it

It has that particular feeling of 2000's anime to it, the languid design of the characters, the kawaii protag who's dead inside

LOVE IT

it's so good, sort of nostalgic but also new???

The story is compelling, the characters are interesting, there is a war but not a war, more like a race more like a conflict, and there are no sides, everybody wants something and all of everybody's reasons for wanting what they want make sense but these wants are incompatible but the way all is resolved is. so. satisfying.

Good narrative!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this anime

Thanks for having reblogged some cool fanart of it lmao

(i believe it was the little overcoat-with-beret look of my now favourite disaster overgrown killer child that got me like "I need to watch this")
