my father said to me once that one of the things he deeply regretted was not putting music on for his father while he was fading away. he told me that grandpa would just sit in his old armchair in the quiet, and not until after he’d passed did my dad think of how he could have played of his favorite classical music tapes for him so grandpa could listen to something while he still could. i was very young when this happened and not much older when my dad told me this, but it always stuck with me as something important.

my mother died at home in a hospice cot, slowly shutting down over the course of about a week. when she had stopped responding, i remembered what dad told me about wishing he’d played music for grandpa, and i put the radio on her favorite country music station and kept it on for her until she died.

daddy died in hospital. no cassette players, no decent radios. the day after he was brought in, i thought again of what he told me, and i bought a little portable bluetooth speaker. even though he never woke up, was never aware, i played music for him too.

there’s no real significance to sharing this, not really. my motivation is selfish, again: i just want to hope that someone might think of this when their loved one is stuck in silence somehow, and maybe they’ll play music for them, and they won’t have to regret not doing so. i want to hope it helps someone. and i want to hope that someone will remember my dad with me, even in just a “story i read on the internet” way.

My take on the ever popular Detective Conan AU where Shinichi and Conan are seperate people.

That's ok, don't worry about it! And that is understandable, and a good decision too, since Ai has lots of layers to her. What did you think about the cases then? And again, that is ok, that is why I said, if it's something you can talk about! And I'm ot sure what hotcakes are, is it a kind of pancake? And what s coffee jelly? The latter sounds absolutely delightful (and from the pictures I saw while looking it up, it also looks very delicious). - DCMK 1/2

Hotcakes are pancakes but more thick/dense.

I enjoy coffee jelly a lot, and I make it at home from time to time now since it's fairly easy to make but cheaper than buying it from the few places that do have it available here. Sometimes I can be found eating some while watching anime. Sometimes I use the plates from the tea set I showed ya.

I decided to take some time and watch some episodes I liked from Astro Boy 03, since I needed the comfort and nostalgia. I've officially seen all the main Studio Ghibli films, which is nice.

Dungeon Meshi and Dragons I wanted to imagine what it might look like if the gang was playing DnD with Laios as an enthusiastic DM
