The demon of the deep blue is finally slain, and hopefully with it, the legions of grotesque crawling menaces.
It's a day to rejoice.

Learning about WW2 is super interesting once you get past the uncomfortable questions about human morality.
I just learned about the Navajo Code Talkers. Super cool.
Also learned about what they did to Alan Turing after the war. Super not cool.

This song made me rethink the Fr*nch language. I learned that there's great beauty in its vowels. I have no idea what any of the lyrics mean, but they paint a picture of waking up dewy-eyed sure of only one thing: that you have to keep on moving.
Also, please watch 3-gatsu no Lion. It's the greatest slice of life anime of all time.
Another romance manga about a gyaru who gets involved with a milquetoast otaku water flea for absolutely no reason, yet is somehow already on a collision course with his cock from chapter 1?
Gee, how'd you come up with that one? What, she's in love with him for being a bare minimum kind and decent human being? No waaaay

I carelessly forgot there was a better track to accompany Mumei's graduation.
Owl's Friend is a pretty little track that makes you believe everything will be okay. It's the musical equivalent of a Chicken Soup For The Soul story. The technical ability on display is also awe-inspiring.
Listen if you're one of those percussive fingerstyle enjoyers.
The fact that your throat starts hurting before you get sick is honestly some masterful foreshadowing. It instills a profound sense of dread for what's to come.
And people say the immune response is all just hype moments and aura.
Hershey's tastes like chocolate squeezed out of a gym sock.

Time for a melancholic folksy song featuring a woman with an incredibly sweet and gentle voice. For no reason at all
?
Super invested in Pompompurin butthole discourse
So my older brother and I share the same first name (don't ask). He's an internet musician, while I just play guitar as a hobby and sometimes upload scuffed song covers to my personal IG.
Just now, I think one of his listeners, who knows his identity but I guess doesn't know enough about him, somehow found one of my covers. This person then proceeded to comment on my cover thinking I'm my brother
Fun fact:
I was once the subject of one of those "diverse group of friends sitting in some grass" photos for a university.
Every once in a while, I need to remind myself that the absolute pinnacle of human storytelling has already been reached with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Bought a 6 pack of cream puffs and it came with 5. Now I'm going to starve

I lied, emo week isn't over. It would be a disgrace to not mention Sunny Day Real Estate even once.
They changed the game. Moody Hot Topic emo wouldn't exist without them, probably. They laid the groundwork for the more somber, sensitive 2nd wave, which then birthed the 3rd wave (MCR, Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights).
I don't think I can heal my inner child. He has expensive and rare taste.
The day after I mentioned that the English-speaking indie side of vtubing has too much drama, yet another big indie vtubing drama has arisen.

For the end of emo week, have my favorite song to fall under the diverse umbrella of emo.
Brave Little Abacus are an eclectic whirlwind. Emo, math rock, electronic, jazz-- all of them come together to form a cacophony that is as overwhelming as it is appealing to some primal part of our souls.
I think my favorite type of character is the deeply flawed and initially morally grey individual who, in the end, chooses to go against their own self-interests, safety, comfort, or happiness to do the herculean but ultimately right thing, possibly with dire consequences for them.
No I can't name any examples.
Quite random, but Ronald Reagan had such a nice voice. I want him to read a Steinbeck to me or something.

Now we're bringing it way back to the 80s, to emo's first wave. Emerging out of the DC scene was a brand of hardcore punk that was a little bit more singable, a little bit more introspective. This sound would be labeled "emotional hardcore", or emocore, much to the annoyance of Rites of Spring, who are often considered the originators of emo. -
