Ohmygod so I've been talking to someone. Like who's still a complete stranger and this is the first time that someone has complimented my love for reading manga. I've never been told that I write so passionately. haha

I never thought I talk a lot but I guess I do when it's something I know a lot about.

I'm going to try to post more but if anyone is ever intersted, I have a few manga reviews up on my wordpress blog: ♥

I was going through photos from my school because they use like this one company for everything (lol). And I just found some that I didn't know were taken. Like two were from marching band in full uniform and I look so different. (circa like 2015) I can't tell sometimes if I look older or not but in that photo I look so young. Like chubby cheeks and all

That made me remember that I loved track&field, and tennis because there was no pressure at all. I never had fun with basketball or softball because I was always so stressed, and then my dad is one of those people that thinks he can be an amazing coach. Spoilers, he's not that great tbh. Like I appreciate the effort but you gotta know when you give up lol

Since it's been the pandemic still, I remembered something that my mom would do when I was in elementary school and middle school and it was my birthday. I've always been shy so unless people knew already, I wouldn't tell people it was birthday because idk why. Lol anyways, my mom would make these really cute shirts that would say that it was my birthday. I really loved when she did that. And people would know then. It's something so sweet that I want to do for my kid if I ever have any.

Every year it always made me feel a little bit special, it's something priceless now that I remember.

I'm turning 23 today, oh my.

I'm starting to read this manga that everyone says is part of a dark trio, it's called Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku. For reference the other two are Chainsaw Man and JJK (Jujutusu Kaisen).

First impressions: I think that it's really good. I got to the part where a big tree thing is telling the group that the immortal elixer exists. So I'm not sure what's going on but I just hope that Gabimaru gets to be with his wife again 😟

Like I love when characters are big softies for thier wives. At first I was like aw ☹ he doesn't even like her but when I found out that she means the world to him, my heart melted. I don't even care what he did before, it's whatever, they just need to be together. Lol

Seen someone call Luffy "Stretch Armstrong" earlier and I've been laughing about it ever since

This is the second year that I'm growing Sunflowers and I gotta say the most pain in the ass thing about these plants is drying the seeds. Because I'm not doing it for eating, I'm trying to pretty much select the best seeds for growing.

This year there was a bit of a issue because it's been so humid and rainy. My favorite plant out of the bunch was over 11 feet tall with big seeds and good striping. But what happened (which made me very sad) was that after I cut it and left it to dry in the sun. I didn't see a forecast for rain and it got wet :(. Even after I took the seeds out of the head they developed mold. It was so upsetting. Like that was such a good plant and one storm screwed up the harvest.

I want to point out that i didn't leave it bare on the deck, it was left in a fruit cage so that I could keep the squirrels and birds away. Because that's another thing, the minute that these seeds are even remotely ready, the birds are all over them and then the squirrels follow.

You know what I'm jealous of? People who have sheds or garages with good ventilation. I've seen mulitple ppl who're like yeah just cut it down and hang it in your shed, the thing should dry in a few days. Like what??? Where the hell are you getting these OP buildings at? Lol

To be completely honest here, I don't remember how I harvested the sunflower seeds last year. I forgot 100%. This year has been frustrating. Because now I have constant anxiety that none of my seeds will grow.

I want to be blissfully unaware again. I wish sunflowers were like marigolds. All of a sudden you've got an entire paper lunch bag filled with seeds. Like for those plants, all that you need to do is cut them, it's that easy. Those plants are on easy mode. And they smell really good too.

One-Punch Man

I read this pretty early on (when it was being translated + the webcomic) and I've talked about his elsewhere but now I want to put my theories here too!

I'm just going to list every one of my speculations first and then explain my thoughts. Also the sentences in italics was my original opinions, just in case that's not clear. Or usually I will say, "I wonder", "here I wrote down", "I had said", etc.

Mar. 2018:

"Scary thought but the manga might not be very long?.". So I don't exactly remember why I thought this but there is a substantial amount of webtoon contnet to cover so I don't think it will end before say 250 chapters. Interesting that I thought this.

"Monster king Orochi is just like Saitama and he could be the most formidable opponent. Or he's just another one hit kill and there's a better opponent in the future." - so he literally was just the latter. I had thought three years ago that maybe he was actually Blast and that's why he couldn't be contacted. But the outcome is so much better. Honestly for a villain he was pretty cool, the only thing about this manga that is sometimes boring is that you know that none of the characters will die. Nobody loses powers either. EDIT: haha I had to make an amendment here. In chapter 143 a hero loses an arm and it seems as if Tanktop Master was crushed. Like- I was wrong lol. Also Darkshine loses his hands not too long after..soo whoops.

The next thing that I posted on twitter said, "what if Blast was manipulated and made into Lord Orochi". And then I had an accompanying image where Psykos confirms that Orochi was once a human being and was "gruesomely perfected". - he is definitely not Blast that's for sure. Blast's introduction was pretty cool. I was shocked for a few hours, it was good. But yeah I don't know who Orochi once was, but that's not true lol.

Oh about my first bullet point, I found another tweet while looking through my twitter and I had said that I thought this was the last arc because it seemed to be the major conflict, but ever since my re-read of the webcomic I think that's no longer true. Not 100% sure though.

The last thing that I said in March, was "what if the final boss is God himself"? This manga is a satire on heroes as it is, but that would be wild and funny as hell. I don't feel like it will happen but idk. Would be cool and totally on par with the insanity of the series lol

April 2018: I guess around this time was when I was able to read the Elder Centipede chapter. Because I mentioned that Blast "fought with it two years ago." At this point I was still running with the idea that Blast died or something else happened. Maybe he was frustrated with the fact that no one else could match up to him. Which now since his reveal in the manga is just not true, he's fighting somthing that's messing space, time and gravity itself.

I think I was just really excited imagining that Blast was greedy or something lol

I also wondered if his "disappearance" was just a big plot hole. Because how was the Hero Association able to know that Blast doesn't want to come into work? Like who was he talking too???

Also the fact that Child Emporer and Metal Knight have outside communications. (Which now we learned was because C.E was his assistant). Made me wonder who was speical enough to get into contact with Blast, it wasn't Tatsumaki because she would have been all haughty about it. lol

June 2018:

Psykos kidnapped a child or maybe a human. I still really wanted to know who Orochi was 😂

I also wondered if someone was looking for him, like they were close friends or if he had a wife and she'll never be able to know what happened. 😟 I don't know what chapter it was but there was a scene where there was a shadow talking to another human. Idk I would've liked that information. :/

March 2021:

This is where I did a big re-read of the series (webcomic and manga). At this point I had been waiting a long time for updates so I forgot a lot of important key details. Like Tatsumaki and Gyoro both say "bald guy" meaning that she heard about this mysterious person (Saitama) and kept that to herself.

Around this time is when I stopped having big speculations and it was more questioning about future chapter events. And then I was just very excited about each new chapter and it mostly turns into reactions.

Before chapter 135 I wondered just how important Fubuki was going to be. I thought it was really interesting that she can sense other life forms, and maybe that her powers were evolving. I still don't know how important she is.

I literally lost my shit at chapter 135 LOL. Like in my notes all I put down was, blast face, BLAST FAEC!!1! And then I also really enjoyed the development between Sweet Mask and Zombieman in this chapter.

Ch. 138 notes: What the- I've got no words. Ya'll need to experience reading this chapter. It has the coolest lore I've seen from this manga yet. Like they connected to another dimension. Can you tell that I was really excited at this point? lol

Ch. 139: *screaming* and that's it, that's the notes lol jk. Here I wrote down about the group worshipping something far underground, like if that is the next enemy? Or is it the dissolution of the H.A from the webcomic?

Ch. 142: Tatsumaki caring about information about Blast was really sweet to see. But if I didn't read the webcomic I wouldn't understand why he means so much to her. I hope ONE and Murata have her backstory in the manga as well. I literally spoke too soon about this because two chapters later we get that information. :O || Sweet Mask got such a bad injury that it makes me believe that he died. Not sure tbh. Something that happens differently in the webcomic is that it's revealed that he was a mysterious being. Like he has the ability to alter himself. He gets harassed by everyone (mostly the public) because they didn't expect him to be an ugly monster. And this kickstarts the public not rlly trusting heroes. And a lot of other shit happens.

Also about Ch. 142 I wondered why Watchdog man wasn't there. Was his city safe? Also I liked the fact that we actually get dialogue from Pig God.

Ch. 143: I don't like Drive Knight anymore lol. It seems like Genos could've actually died for real this time. And lastly Fubuki is a queen. She's turning out to be a really good character.

Ch. 144: It seems like a death flag sprung up for Tatsumaki. Also I kind of understand her thinking because to tatsumaki, blast was the only one that could/would save her. It's not a curse but more like a deep scar on her heart. ;-;!! I wouldn't trust others if that happened to me either. || When I seen the council of swordmasters I thought that they would betray the heroes, lol. || And finally in my notes, I said that it seems like TTM is down for the count too.

Ch. 145: I went back to re-read it and I just noticed in one panel, Pig God says that in the prophecy he needs to save up is power? Is he OP too?! I guess he'll be the savior maybe, that is if Saitama doesn't show up anytime soon. I'm starting to really like Pig God's character a lot too now.

Ch. 146: Ooh! Looks like the spotlight is on Darkshine now. I hope he continues to be a hero because in the webcomic he completely loses his confidence. It's really nice to see. I had some really bad foreshadowing, all I'm going to say is rip darkshine. He didn't die but oof. I also said that it was nice to see that the S-Class could actually hold their own. It wasn't looking promising there for a while.

Ch. 147: oh saitama is on the cover will he finally show up? He in fact didn't. 😔 also I liked the interaction between Atomic Samurai and Bang, he said that it was his job as the master to right his wrongs. I like that he's no longer looking down on him because of Garou. Like how could you expect someone to just be able to make a decision right away and deal with their own student? Like he obviously was important to Bang. That's such a hard thing to do. || Also about Garou he gets a new form 👀

Ch. 148: before I read the chapter, I wrote down that I had different expectations. Because in the webcomic Saitama comes out and supports Garou, he isn't okay with him being killed. Also around this fight is when Sweet Mask gets "revived" and is in monster form. Saitama is the only one that doesn't have a major issue with him. In the webcomic Saitama wasn't missing from the fight but he also wasn't playing a major part yet. || Anyways so the chapter ends with bang appearing to start the fight.

Ch. 149: I felt really bittersweet reading this chapter because the council was wiped out. It would've been cool to understand why there were so few of them left. The lore about the two swords was really cool though. So many events within the last ten chapters veered off from the original plot in the webcomic. I have no way to know what to expect, but I'm not complaining, I like going into these chapters newly experiencing them.

From here on out this is all new observations. Like today i just re-read 150. I would've had a reaction to 151 but it's not out, in fact I feel like I've been waiting a long time for that to release, the last time I checked was early july...

Ch. 150: Poor Darkshine. Also Metal Bat comes back!! I missed his character :o || Haha King is still being caught up in misunderstandings, i can't wait to laugh my ass off in the next chapter. because I know it'll be funny between sprm and king.

yoo i’m back.

I can't believe how much of this account is a time capsule, I was talking with my sister about obsessions earlier and for a while I thought I never experienced that part of adhd. But I was wrong because I can see what I liked and gushed about. Even just last week I realized that my obsessions are more focused on video games instead of tv/movie franchises or other media. (Funny i didn’t really notice I guess) Idk it's interesting, anyways it was so embarrassing but fun to show my sister this account. Because right now she's in a Twilight and Marvel phase. And I  myself went through that over six years ago. Lol

Tbh i think that I want to use this account again. I have a private discord and twitter account for the things that I like (making posts lets me remember better) but I think it would be more fun to have public posts instead. I used to be so self-conscious about the things that I like but now not so much anymore. I read manga, play video games, and I really like forum integrated games. There's nothing wrong about that but when I was a teen, and I remember the last time I regularly used this account, it was like I had to show that I wasn't different so-to-speak. Like I posted gifs, didn't make personal text posts, etc. I barely even posted about myself. Like the people I used to talk to on here barely know much about me of my life lol. So anyways, I'm going to start posting here. Maybe I'll make some mutuals again?

This is my carrd: hey!!

There was such relief that just washed over me. My speech class professor had something that was due at 5pm and I thought it was midnight. He gets back to me with an email and is like I might have failed to inform your group but the camera wasn’t working so you don’t have to submit a revaluation of your speech. 

My ass was saved by technology that wasn’t working. thank the gods ohmyfucking ssddkflh
