Tired trans lady who's finally coming into her own. Married. Gardening and art. Expect cat pics.

That last bit is actually what drives me the most crazy. There's so many out lesbians in high-level hockey! But there's almost no sapphic hockey media somehow??

We've really gone all-in on it in the last couple years. We've gotten linocuts, prints, paintings, bigass wooden pieces, funky ceramics... you name it.
It's been more concrete, in a way? Like... I chatted with the lady who drew those boobs! She was super nice! It's art and an experience.

I still need to watch the one that's airing this season about the office lady who gets isekai'd as a villainess... into the horrible trashy webnovel she wrote as a middle-schooler.
I'm sure I'll die of secondhand embarrassment remembering all my bad fanfics, but it sounds fun.

Wherever you are Tokuwotsumu I'm going to shake your hand, thank you for an amazing story, and then throw hands.
Gorgeous, wonderful reflection on grief. 'The Summer You Were There' gets all the attention - and it's truly amazing. But this one hit me, personally, harder.

But, like... the thing that's stuck with me the most is the manga 'Composing Spring in this Room Where Cherry Blossoms Bloom'. Absolutely hate that there's no official English translation. Am sorely tempted to order it anyway. If I could force everyone to read one manga it would be this.

I'm itching to see if Please Bully Me Miss Villainess gets adapted, because that one has been truly a blast to read.
One major prop I will give May I Ask For One Final Thing is that the LI is interesting. So many of the straight villainess ones end up with snoozefest dudes.

That has been satisfying, for sure. I'm a little bummed that it leaned more into 'proxy war between gods'. Because I had thought it was going for: "Terenezza is controlled by the player and Scarlet is the antagonist, so it's a matter of POV on who's wrong". But that was my own expectations.

And sometimes the animation was waaaaaaaay more gorgeous than it had any right to be.
I went back and read some of the manga, and whew! They did /right/ by this series.

I keep waffling on this one. Structurally, I really, really like the idea. But, I don't know. The plot's predictable, but that normally doesn't deter me. The action scenes are a little sparse - but I can forgive that in a lot of anime. Something's stuck in my craw about it.

Tbf, it's a surprisingly big set of good college seniors for the US. Like... Canada had Fillier, but US has at least three players of that caliber now (Harvey, Edwards, Murphy), and it's hard to plan around that.

It definitely wasn't because of me. Nope. And certainly no one should tempt my inner superfan and keep it going higher. >.>

Ehhh. Different. I found it easier to follow personally.
But also cannot wait for you to read it. My favorite of the series by a large margin.

Still just baffling to me to have a homophobic social media presence then go into a contact sport filled with lesbians. Like, yeah, of course you're going to get laid out on the regular.

Never stops being funny to me when he talks about his female viewership going up over time, and I'm like, "Dude, it's the same viewers, we just started HRT."
