Anime/Goth Christmas Tree

24 Days til’ Christmas!

For today (since I missed another day) we’ll be adding four more Keychains! I decided to go with shows I only have one Keychain of, and this will probably be the only day that includes something that technically isn’t goth or anime. Today friends we will be including items from Danganronpa, Zombieland Saga, Ao-Chan Can’t Study!, and Monster High.

I absolutely adore Danganronpa, but I don’t talk a lot about it since I usually go to the subreddit to shit-post on it. I’m usually not one for crime or anything in the mystery genre because I just think it sucks the enjoyment out of a project- but Danganronpa is honestly one of my favorite game series and weaves the mystery throughout perfectly, without ever feeling boring. I love the characters and dynamics between the cast, while some characters might be more front-and-Center than others, it never restricts you from learning more about its intricate and fun characters. I highly recommend to anyone who likes mysteries or just loves games of risk and life :)

I don’t particularly like the Monokuma Theater segments of the games, but I just love this Keychain. It’s both cute and a bit funny!

I liked Zombieland Saga and have yet to see Season 2, but Sakura just made me fall in love with it. A bubbly but slightly awkward leader who tries to keep everything together to form her idol group. One of the few female characters I adore (I don’t hate female characters, I just don’t seem to like or connect with as many as I do guys.) This Keychain looks so cute on the tree, and I can see why she’s one of the most popular characters on the show. :)

Ao-Chan Can’t Study! I typically don’t like ecchi anime because it feels awkward and gross more often than funny, but this is definitely one of my favorite ecchis! It was hilarious, and Ao-Chan is just too adorable (Also can I just say the opening theme is just spot on?) there isn’t a lot of Merch for the series but I’m glad I got this Keychain. I usually keep it as an acrylic stand as it’s a bit too big to hang but I love it all the same, and it just looks spot on on the tree!

On to the one people might be a little mad at me for. Monster High. Yes this technically isn’t goth or anime but shut up it’s goth to me. Monster High was such a big part of my life growing up. I loved the shorts, movies, books, dolls- anything that basically had MH smacked on it I adored. Not only did it mesh a lot of fabulous goth and punk fashion with mythology and monsters (could there be a better combination?) but its message of accepting yourself no matter what or who you are is amazing. This is diversity done right. One person lazily shoved into another and given a flat personality is not diversity. Making a whole cast one race/height/weight/whatever with one exception is not diversity. Diversity is where we all accept who we are no matter what it is. All monsters matter and everyone has their own style. Not every girl has to be feminine or try to defy femininity. No guy has to be strong or cool or defy doing traditionally male things. Like what you like. Do what you do. Clawdeen is and has been my favorite since I first got into Monster High. I loved her design, her style, her personality, and especially how she didn’t need to find a partner in every movie she was in. She wanted to pursue her career no matter what, and even though she fought with her siblings a bit she still loved them. This Keychain looks adorable, though it was hard to arrange it to look good on the tree so here’s my best attempt- :)

Merry (Early) Christmas and Happy Holidays, y’all!

Anime/Goth Christmas Tree

22 Days til’ Christmas!

I missed quite a few days so I thought I would dedicate the whole lump to Cute High Earth Defense Club Love since it’s so under-appreciated by anime fans. We’ll include six Keychains, three of Io Naruko and three of Yumoto Hakone!

Of the five main boys, Io is definitely my favorite. My only problem with him is unlike many of my other favorite characters, even within the same show, I can’t describe exactly why I like him more than the other four. If I had to guess I would say it’s his sass or “Fuck bitches, get money” type of attitude- but if that were the case I would think I would like other characters I like like him though the only one I can think of is Vera Oberlin from Monster Prom. Maybe I just have a soft side for him because he isn’t the most popular of characters. The only time I’ve seen art or love for him is when he’s shipped with Ryuu (which is a ship I absolutely love) but even that’s limited. I guess through the whole series my brain was like “He’s pretty neat. Nothing else. No reason.” Technically he’s not my favorite character in all three seasons- but as I don’t have Merch of my co-favorite and minimal of my other co-favorite, we’ll save those babes for later on :)

Yumoto Hakone- ironically feels like the most loved character in Boueibu and least favorite character in Boueibu. I’ve seen the most art for him, but not a lot of blogs for him or anything outside of art. The art looks amazing and adorable but for how prominent he is in the show most of the fans don’t pay any attention to him. I loved his energy and enthusiasm for everything in the show, he’s one of the few characters that is seemingly always happy yet I still love him. Most characters like that to me feel annoying and overbearing- but Yumoto feels like a younger brother or friend who’s always there to cheer the group on.

I like how the Keychains look on the tree, especially the full-body art ones. I can not describe how much I was in love with Io’s Full body Keychain it is true beauty :)

Merry (Early) Christmas and Happy Holidays y’all!
