june 🌙

also partially cause even in round 2 i seem to be the only person ever running speed eater

i know youtubers like VF said End > Late this CM because of speed eater, but in practice it feels like other people have to also be running Ends for this to work. if there's 6+ umas between front, pace, and late in the lobby ends have to get ridiculously lucky to win bc they lose the position accels

you found a WIN-WING casting director's burner account...

i never had any special affection for this movie specifically before this, definitely not like i did for season 2, but it just hits different seeing it in theaters. the ending gets me every time

went to see boane one more time bc i convinced some friends to go

i'm really gonna miss being able to see this movie in theaters man...

pairings/interactions i want to see

royce + digitan
royce can get tips on fansa from digitan

royce + machan
their goals of sticking in people's minds as "the strongest" and becoming the ultimate mascot known worldwide are similar i think it would be a fun friendly rivalry

On this International Women's Day. You can be a woman too, if you really want to. If it's something you've ever fantasized about or even just thought about. You can just try being a woman. And if you decide you don't like it you can change back. There's no harm in it. You stand to lose nothing

alright finally finished all my attempts for cm10 round 1

Day 1
2-2-3-3

Day 2
3-2-4-1

There were only 5 races here where at least one of my fronts didn't successfully keep position for accels. digitan struggled heavily as an end closer. might try to see if i can get a better one before round 2

there's a chapter of umamusumeshi about this too, she's into Italian bc there was an Italian food boom in Japan in the 80s-90s apparently

trendy as always...

Winner's Interview with Maruzensky Q: You had Italian cuisine for your pre-race meal, correct? A: Right now, I'm wicked into having spaghetti with panna cotta for dessert! 🎶

oh no

iirc it was season 3 that had me intrigued about yukisayo specifically. and maybe bs1? i haven't read anything in garupa in a bit

i didn't know who but i figured this would activate at least one or two oomfs like sleeper agents

i was already uma yuri-pilled from the anime but i was a bit more cautious about the game just because gacha + the gameplay didn't appeal to me too much in isolation, and then i saw the writing and was like dammit they still have it

honestly outside of the sort of Official Pairings i have no clue how popular various bandori ships were/are since i wasn't around back in the day. is yukisayo anything

it's gotten a bit lost now with how much else goes on in the global fandom now but yeah the writing is a big reason a lot of people got hooked on the game early on, myself included

king and vodka are launch 1 and 2 stars, for example, and still have extremely good careers imo

if tsuzuki shifune has no fans that means i am no more on the earth

it was me too originally but anyway it's great bc you get to experience toyama kasumi now in 2026

Narita Top Road: do you wanna buy some video games? Look, the store is right there

Admire Vega: Game"Stop"? As if I can rest. I'll never falter... not until I reach the end of my path.

Top Road, eyes shimmering: R-Right! I'll... follow your lead...

yes king halo 🫡

i think there were some misplaced expectations in the fanbase regarding 🧢🕊️ from the very beginning, it just ultimately didn't cause any problems between people up until the last few episodes 😅

and now the discourse is just shot forever lol

ok take two for real this time

THE KASUARI PG???

"To a Brand New Sky" Kasumi Toyama BanG Dream! - <Poppin' Party> "Oooooh! I'm starting to get fired up!" [AUTO]:When this unit is placed by riding from ""Promised Candy" Kasumi Toyama", search your deck for up to 1 card with "Arisa Ichigaya" in its card name, reveal it and put it into your hand, and shuffle your deck.

searching out arisa literally turn one #ok

side note if anyone's curious it was カノジョ that they localized as homegirl (カレシ -> homeboy for a male trainer)

ngl it actually felt crazy good when maruzensky called me "homegirl"

why are video game gender options so genuinely affirming sometimes

it's kind of funny i used to get compliments from music teachers/directors for having a great sense of rhythm. but then i'm just like, aggressively mid at rhythm games. it doesn't really seem to translate lol

personally i am more than fine with everything being chunithm-likes forever bc i can't handle much else. so i'm absolutely the target audience for atsudori
