In Total Agreement Of This~

Any occasion can be an excuse to dress up. Why not wear dress pants to the mall if it makes you feel good?

take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.

What if the wizarding world used a ranking system like in Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun?

The initial ranking could be either during the Sorting Ceremony or at the end of first year after you’ve actually done some stuff.

You can rank up by academic achievement, doing really well at sports (mainly Quidditch), special services to the school, becoming an animagus, accomplishments outside school... But maybe rank ups have to be justified with  evidence/witness, so stuff like saving the Philospher’s Stone may or may not qualify.

There’s probably a slowly-changing tendency for blood status and other prejudices to influence rank, and you can bet that Umbridge would’ve demoted Harry and his allies as much as possible while she taught.

I can see Neville starting right at the bottom and steadily rising up like Iruma does.

I know the sk8 boys will probably never get canon girlfriends because it would upset the fans and ruin the relationship ambiguity, but I have an idea for Adam: his aunts arrange for him to meet a woman, but she turns out to be gay and in love with her lady secretary. The two chat and decide if they're to be married off by their relatives, it might as well be to each other. The secretaries marry too. Now they can all do their own thing in private, produce an heir or two, get on with their lives.

Perhaps if Japan legalizes and normalizes same sex marriage in the future the couples will swap partners.

This has been a PSA.

New reality show idea: house renovation competition called "Generation Wars" and all the couples are, obviously, from different generations. They're all terrible at reno and their taste all embodies the worst stereotypes of their generation e.g. the millennial pair likes to paint everything beige or white.

Viewers will hate-watch the crap out of it and roast the contestants online after each episode. The contestants could use their tiktok to keep up the hype and hate between episodes.

Gen alpha are probably too young to compete, but maybe they could be assistants or guest judges?

Rereading the Lord of the Rings series recently, and it's so fascinating to me how much the series is a denial of the typical juvenile power-fantasy that is associated with the fantasy genre.

Like, the power-fantasy is the temptation the Ring uses against people It tempts Boromir with becoming the "one true king" that could save his people with fantastic power. It tempts Sam with being the savior of Middle Earth and turning the ruin that is Mordor into a great garden. It tempts Gandalf and Galadriel with being the messianic figure of legend who brings salvation to Middle Earth and great glory to herself.

The things the Ring tempts people with are becoming the typical protagonists of fantasy stories that we expect to see. and over and over we see that accepting that role, that fantasy of being the benevolent all-powerful hero, is a bad thing. LotR is about how power, even power wielded with benevolent intent, is corrupting.

And its so fascinating how so much of modern fantasy buys into the very fantasy LotR denies. Most modern fantasy is about being that Heroic power-fantasy. About good amassing power to rival evil. But LotR dares not to. It dares to be honest that there is no world where anyone amasses that power and remains good.

I guess that's one of the reasons its so compelling.

OKAY, but based on the raws for daiya no b, the instruments they chose for the main characters so far, are REALLY fitting. I was in band in highschool, and and anyone else who else played instruments in a band would agree with me (hopefully)

Source: hyoubuqueen

Based on what i see so far:

Clarinets: (Tanba, Nori)  They are  the ones who are the base noise but they make a huge difference. They’re not sharp sounds BUT a good clarinet tone is hard to attain and takes many years of practice. They’re very mellow but they’re important to the underlying sound of the whole song. Hence Tanba and Nori’s humble/shy personalities yet they make all the difference to the team and often try the hardest.

Percussion: (Jun) Percussion encompasses all the rhythm instruments like drums, timpani etc as well as embellishments like cymbal/triangle. They’re extremely imperative because without percussion there is no mood or pace and the song sounds bare. Jun is the tempo of Seido, he sets the rhythm AND THAT’S EXTREMELY FITTING. They also have to have a good ear for tempo.

French Horns: (Zono, Nabe) They have to have a really large lung capacity. They’re the melody that is really deep but the sound resonates. They’re kind of like a mask, a huge layer that arcs throughout the song. There are often not too many french horns because they’re an instrument that isn’t as popular. But the sound is very unique.  They’re also an underlying layer, but they cut through all the other sounds as very profound parts of the music.

Flutes: (Ryo, etc.) HIGH PITCHED NOISES;  THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY ESSENTIAL  and are often the “topping”. They have fast riffs; if a flute makes a mistake IT’S REALLY OBVIOUS–also the flute section has a much harder time to stay together so some talent/practice is needed.  Because of this they have to be detailed and careful and really know their job. HENCE RYOSUKE. Along with the trumpets they have many solos and ALWAYS play. 

Saxophones: There are two types shown in Daiya no B– Alto or Tenor Saxophone: (Kuramochi) This is the saxophone that is higher in sound, and usually the one throughout the saxophone group that has solos. Baritone Saxophone: (Tetsu) The lower end of the saxophone, and the instrument itself is larger. Together, the saxophone sections blends together the harshness of brass sounds. Saxophones are huge in supporting the music and the brass section. They’re like caramel, and when they have a solo it adds flare to the song.They have to be reliable support HENCE MOCHI AND TETSU. 

Trumpets: (Eijun, Masuko, Chris) Oh my goodness the trumpets. They’re usually dubbed as the more hot headed of the band, the ambitious ones, the mood making ones. They are the more brash instruments in the band, yet they are the FIRE. Especially in fast paced, cool,  songs they really bring the blaze. They make the music exciting. HENCE EIJUN. They’re as important as flutes, because first there’s so many and hard to connect, and second, their sounds are quite evident. They also have a sense of pride because a piece often rests on their sound.  Basically, they’re entrusted with one of the most important jobs, and are usually the center of attention because you can ALWAYS hear them. They also have to have large lung capacity.

Trombones: (Furuya) Trombones require a lot of technique and are a leading instrument of the lower brass section. They can make the most resonating sound, so dynamics are this instruments forte. While having lots of single notes, this instrument needs consistency and determination because learning to breathe during the music is really difficult. SO STAMINA as well as strength and lung capacity. The instrument that isn’t dubbed cool at first but is essential to a song’s volume. The trombone sound reverberates and makes the rest of the band excited to keep pace. It’s perfect for Furuya.

In general, this post is nothing but my excitement for an official band au ( I hope im not missing anything or anybody) and my band history crying out. So i wanted to share lol BUT I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS. 

*****Bonus: THE CONDUCTOR AKA MIYUKI KAZUYA (idk if he’s staying as a student conductor or the actual conductor). I’m sure that ones pretty self-explanatory–the conductor has to have all eyes throughout the band. He has to know and hear all the parts as well as anticipate what comes next and predict potential difficulties in music. He has to be the expert and gauge everyone’s level to make them work with the rest of the team. Also, he has to be able to mend the bald spots and some lack of skill in order to connect all different parts in the music as well as the people. He’s in control, cues everyone into their jobs, and in the end, if he hiccups then the whole thing falls apart. He  has  to be crazy and passionate about his job. He’s pivotal, and that’s Miyuki Kazuya for you.

I’m pretty sure no one’s going to read this.

current gender goals

My current gender goals are somehow 1990's anime guys. I don't envy their tragic backstories, just their broad shoulders and slutty little waists.

Language Barrier

The shaman fight (both the prelims in Tokyo and the finals in the USA) have people from all over the world competing and everyone seems to speak the same language. In real life, it’s for the convenience of the readers/watchers. In universe, I can only assume that the King of Spirits has granted everyone the power to magically understand/be understood by others regardless of what language they speak. Also, maybe the Oracle Bells help tournament participants walk around without their weapons being noticed by police or border control?

Has this been mentioned somewhere in the manga or bonus material?
