i love this scene so much!! jinshi jealous because maomao didn’t ask him for a favor is so adorable and sweet. by now, maomao has worked almost a year at the rear palace alongside jinshi. he sees how talented she is & cares deeply for her. so, when maomao relies on lihaku and even jokes about spending the night with him, it BREAKS jinshi. he’s so dramatic and silly but it’s a reminder that he’s a young man who’s experiencing a crush for the first time. she doesn’t realize how much of a hold she has on jinshi & it makes their interactions that much better. i love jinmao so much!
what i love about giyuu tomioka is how full of love he is. even when he doesn't believe he deserves to be happy, it's so easy for him to take care of tanjirou and nezuko. it's natural for him to want to protect and save those he can. being loving and heroic is just who giyuu is.
started watching vinland saga and i honestly did not expect to be as hooked as i currently am. 4 episodes into s1 and i already cried, laughed, and got attached to the characters. thors was such an amazing father & became such an incredible person i was so sad to see him die. watching thorfinn go from a naive, happy child, to now being so full of rage made my heart break. i’m scared yet excited to see thorfinn’s journey since i’ve heard SO MANY great things!!!
iwaoi has been one of my fav haikyuu ships since the beginning. the childhood best friends to lovers trope, the pining, the slowburn, the unrequited feelings, the “what if this ruins our friendship” thing. something about loving and knowing someone for so long but never getting sick of them that does something to my brain!! the distance between them didn’t change a thing, at the end of the day, it will always be hajime & tooru against the world. for as long as they both can remember, they were always together. <3
i finished fishman island!!
although i wasn't hooked from the beginning, this arc really grew on me! i really loved seeing the straw hats together again after their 2 year break. considering how emotional i was from everything that happened in marineford, it took a while to adjust to the new change of pace in the series! but seeing how strong & confident the members were made me feel so proud!!
each member of the grew worked hard to become stronger individuals for themselves AND for their captain/crew. some members trained to become physically stronger, some took the time to educate themselves, and some did both! zoro, nami, luffy, & robin are my personal favorite straw hats, so seeing them as better versions of themselves made me really happy!!! i love how hard everyone worked, and you could see it all pay off in this arc!
once i read/watched more of this arc, i started to really enjoy the plot! It was a very different side of one piece that we hadn't seen yet, other than in the sabaody archipelago arc. it expanded on the prejudice & discrimination that fishmen faced throughout history. how the hatred finds its way to the children, which creates more hatred. i really loved the narrator's monologue during the scene where jimbei gives his blood to luffy. it perfectly summarized the painful history between humans & fishmen. with jimbei's selfless act, it begins a new path for fishman island.
personally, this arc isn't in my top 5, but i really did enjoy it! i found it to be fun and the plot very interesting. i also really liked that we found out what the ancient weapon actually was in this arc after hearing about it for so long.
overall, i really loved how this arc showed us how much the straw hats grew during the timeskip. everyone did their best to become stronger so they could be prepared for the journey to the new world. i find it beautiful how devoted they are to each other and to their captain. i'm looking forward to what's next!
the new skip and loafer art these days has been so beautiful but the shimamitsu art in particular makes me so very happy. he’s always looking at her with a huge smile on his face!!!! shima and mitsumi look so adorable together. i love how you can tell the art is reflecting the shimamitsu development in the manga. s&l art is always so colorful and pretty <3

Yes I like fictional characters a very normal amount. Don’t look at my blog.
finally caught up on vinland saga. this is a masterpiece. thorfinn is one of the greatest characters ever written. overcoming hatred and devoting his life to peace is so beautiful and inspiring. there is genuinely no other character like him I'm so unbelievably attached to this story. thorfinn is so lovely and hardworking. my second favorite character is hwho'sho's storyline is so moving and emotional. her being able to forgive thorfinn after watching him for 4 years was one of the best moments in the series. just so wonderful. i loved watching thorfinn become more gentle as the years went by. i hope he's able to achieve his dream and be happy forever. i love this series so much <3333
i’m so kagehina coded that whenever i think of soulmates i think of them…because what else possibly explains their relationship?? from that game in middle school, to meeting again at karasuno?? that fateful meeting at karasuno changed their LIVES!! they became better players, better people, and finally found someone to call a PARTNER all because THEY FOUND EACH OTHER AGAIN! during timeskip, it didn't matter that they were on opposite sides of the world because THEY WERE CONNECTED!! they were destined to stay together forever! i can just imagine them as old grandpas playing volleyball like they were first years again…
i'd like to think that the reason why the fanbook emphasizes zeno's ability to cook vegetable soup well is because zeno used to make it for kaya when they were together
the thought was somewhat inspired by this panel. i'm not even sure if they were having vegetable soup here but my headcanon is that zeno took over and made sure that their food was cooked properly after this lol
