@MT I'm sorry you had to deal with that, transphobes are honestly the fucking worst and have no real value outside of being loaded into, and shot out of trebuches for fun and profit. Even at the best of times, having to deal with that sort of harassment and bullshit is exhausting at the very least. Honestly, the sheer amount of casual transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, etc that's on display on internet makes finding safe, bullshit-free communities incredibly difficult, unfortunately. That said, preemptive congrats on hitting two years on HRT! That's quite the milestone.

Spoilering for size purposes

Shigure sure know how to push people’s buttons Super curious to see what happens next week

I’m up to chapter 8 now. The last 2-3 chapters were better than the start. Tokiyuki and his retainers (the other kids) start bonding, go on a hunting trip and end up facing off with a demon. Now they want Tokiyuki to learn some combat skills, and he has to go undercover to learn archery from a dude that is trying to find and kill him, so he has to conceal identity and all that. The next few chapters should be exciting and suspenseful based on the setup. I sometimes don’t like period stuff like this where you have to learn historical terms, etc. but that element of it hasn’t been too bad so far.

Thanks! It doesn't feel like two years, but it's been an interesting journey.

For a week now, it's been a whole lot of Echo and the Bunnymen in my rotation: But also some fusion jazz mixed in too:

I think one of the main draw for me has been the fairly self aware way it pokes fun at the genre now and then, really. Though with that said I've been more amused by all of the main character's monologues than I expected to be, lol. I can definitely see why it might drag on a bit too much for a lot of folks though. I might have to do this myself at some point... been a loooooong time since I've seen Claymore. Endless 8 was... frustrating to me. ;_; Speaking of Haruhi, I need to rewatch Disappearance at some point. I haven't! I should probably add this to my list of things to look into.

Honestly, even before they jacked up the rent it probably wasn't the most financially responsible place for us to get, but...... it was just too tempting. ? Honestly I miss being able to go down there myself, as well. While I didn't really like living up around there, I was looking forward to still being able to visit the shops and such somewhat regularly, until covid hit. Likewise with a lot of the places in Kent that I used to haunt regularly ;_; I never actually got around to trying out Maekawa, though I always meant to get over to it at some point or another. :T Thank you
