(one month later... lol)
I LOVE Sorato more than air, and I cannot understand how the writers thought it was a great idea to break up Sorato after Adventure and 02 spent all that time developing their relationship! Like WHAT??? And what bothers me most is that, like you said, they are obviously trying to push Takari and Koumi (which is fine!) over all other ships.... BUT they could have done that so much more easily if they had kept Sorato together and not focused on this ridiculous Taichi-Sora-Yamato triangle business (I adore the friendship between them but NOT the love-triangle. Ew). Adventure and 02 already developed Sorato, so the current writers wouldn’t need to do much more (just bits of wonderful Sorato-ness), and they could focus their efforts on the Takari/Koumi fanservice and the blossoming relationship between Taichi and Meiko. Boom, everyone is happy (except Taiora fans, and frankly I have little sympathy for them)! And, again like you said, keeping Sorato together is SO MUCH MORE in character for both of them. But because they aren’t together, both characters are having too many out-of-character experiences. Those moments are just uncomfortable. It’s bad writing. *shrugs*
Honestly, I think most of the bad writing centers around Sorato and everything that the ship affects - in particular Taichi and... the dynamics of the entire group, which is basically everything.
It physically hurts if I think too much about it, lol.

Anne Shirley is one of my favorite characters in all #literature! I've never felt so at home in a book or with a character. It's a rare thing to find, and I am of the firm belief that it must be cherished. @novellyyours has made some exquisite Anne candles for me. I am currently burning the #annespelledwithane and it is divine. It smells of meadows and roses and wildberries and is so exactly Anne! Also, I've recently added to my book collection with the beautiful new editions of the first three books from @viragopress. You can buy them and Rilla's book now @bookdepository, with the other four coming out in May! I honestly can't handle how perfect these new covers are. Below them are, of course, the gorgeous Anne books from @sourcebooksfire. #AnneShirley #AnneofGreenGables #AnneofAvonlea #AnneoftheIsland #GreenGables #BosomFriend #GilbertBlythe #LMMontgomery #books #bookstagram #nerdlife #novellyyourscandles #booknerd

#currentreads: Den of Wolves by Juliet Marillier and The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron. Both are surpassing my very high expectations so far. And may I say, the Forgetting cover is beautiful in picture, but is AMAZING in person. #bookstagram #booknerd #booklife #bookpusher #books #fantasy #flightsoffantasy #currentlyreading #julietmarillier #blackthornandgrim #denofwolves #sharoncameron #theforgetting

It seemed impossible, fighting the hoards of other fangirls vying for a 1st 30 position in line, and then randomly picking ONE CARD out of a deck (as if there is a wrong card to choose, though). It was impossible. I shouldn't have succeeded. BUT I DID IT! Thank you, @lbardugo, for handling our extreme outpouring of excitement (#sorrynotsorry), we love you for it! #fangirls #bookstagram #SixofCrows #CrookedKingdom #kazbrekker #gottacatchemall
