My Favorite Sanrio/San-x Characters

Hello and Happy Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
I really like cats and that shows with my favorite Sanrio/San-x characters. Ultimately I can't decide between Kurushita Nyanko and or Chococat. Not only are they both adorable, I love their color schemes and motifs. Kurushita Nyanko has a lovely, elegant vibe with lace, piano, and sheet music motifs and beige/sax color scheme (usually). While Chococat speaks to my cutesy side with lots of cute,simple shapes and a brown/mint color scheme (usually). Ah~ I really don't want to choose! The only thing is I haven't seen chococat merchandise around in a long time which is pretty disheartening. But fortunately Kurushita Nyanko is there to cheer me right up! =^ w ^=

That's it for today!

Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!

I've Fallen in Love with Haikyuu!

Ok, so I recently delved into the anime of the manga that quickly made it onto my top list! Oh man I never expected to fall so hard for it! It seems no matter how many times I've watched those same characters do the same things it never fails to get my blood pumping and rooting for them all over again!

Both the manga and anime make me so happy! So to indulge (and not go crazy waiting for chapters and episodes to come out) I will be dedicating this post to my favorite characters and related blogs and stories!

FIRST! Black and Blue by MTrash
I just looooove the way this author handles the characterization. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making the characters act like themselves even with cameos. <3 span=""> And the sweet, yet agonizingly slow development of the plot had me hooked when I discovered it incomplete with only 5 chapters posted. As of this post there's only been one more. This person also has a tumblr were they reblog lost of cute haikyuu shipping things so I'd check that out too if you want. <3 span=""> 

Actually I think that's it for notable fics and blogs that I've indulged in. Everything else was found through this person so anything I write about would be found there on the tumblr. . . Well moving on to my favorite characters!

FIRST! I can't decide :D
I hate choosing favorites for this series. I believe I am physically unable to so I resolved to just say how much I love Asahi and his frightening fragility especially when compared to Nishinoya and his straightforwardness. And I love Hinata, the little ball of boundless energy and SUNSHINE, and his amazing growth over the course of the plot. And I love Tsukishima and (more increasingly) Yamaguchi because they are so realistic as to be practically tangible. And I love love love Kenma, how he's all indifferent yet intrigued and the dynamic between him and the rest of his team (and cats. . . I like the cats thing). 

Speaking of cats I'm really glad (in retrospect) that the authors didn't go the obvious route of having the cats be literally flexible and jumping all over the place like acrobats. It allows you to take Nekoma's characters more seriously and actually examine them instead of expecting certain behaviors because of tropes. I love not knowing what's coming next~

I like Akaashi and his ability to keep Bokuto in check (though I'm admittedly not too attached to Bokuto as a character). And Oikawa, and Iwaizumi, and Hinata's friends from middle school, and Tsukishima's big brother, and TANAKA (how did I forget him?), and Tanaka's sister, and the coaches from Karasuno and Nekoma, and Coach Ukai's grandad (the original), and the little kids the coach teaches, and KIYOKO AND HITOKA (seriously how did I forget those two??) . . . Yeah there's more but I'll stop.

All in all I just really, REALLY appreciate how the series handles friendships, rivalries, hardships, and experiences. The character expressions play a big part in that I think. The pure joy and excitement on Hinata's face and (how it's so different from) the excitement on Kenma's face (lol when he get's a new game). Basically when any character smiles my heart stops and when they're upset my heart drops and I really love this anime ok? I like seeing them move and the changes in expressions and body language that are so smooth and silly sometimes like when Hinata compliments Kageyama or Liev (gosh I forgot him too) calls Hinata even shorter than he thought and Hinata does that crazy little dance/spazz thing lmao. 

Yeah. I think I've managed to express how I feel and what I love about this series. Reflecting on those feelings really made me happy. I can't stop smiling now for some reason hahaha!

Let's hope you get the same fuzzy, warm, happy feelings from an anime sometime!

Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!

I've Joined a Idol Group!?

Hello and Happy New Year! Sorry it's been such a long time since I posted! I started a few new endeavors that have been taking up my time a bit~

What happened was at Liberty City Anime Con I met this girl at the 2une concert who was just as excited as me about the group. Most of the other attendees were pretty lackluster about an idol group forming in NYC. She told me about her and some other friends starting a group soon and next thing you know I'm part of it! We are NovaDrop!


I honestly never thought my life would take a turn like this! lol. I am really excited for it though! I'm glad I can now look forward to posting about the developments of the group and I. And, speaking of which, we have our first live performance coming up in an Idol Cafe event held at a Bubble Hut. It's a bubble tea place and we'll be performing alongside the 2une girls (the event where we met) and another group called KuroPop! I love the dancing aspect and I've been working really hard on my singing~ 

Wish me luck at the live! It's this coming Saturday and I really hope I'm ready to perform in front of people! >.<;



Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!
