even thru osmosis i heard about avemuji being divisive/controversial lol. but sometimes good art is polarizing! a story can be near perfect, but if your brain chooses to hone in on something else bc it's more fascinating, we can't pick what activates our neurons! mygo finale is an incredible hook 👀

(bruh hit the bell button and you'll never miss my posts again 😉)
what got me is taki acting jealous when she heard tomori call anon a nickname lol
and so true... in the back of my head i kept thinking even if anon has saucy dynamics with everyone, i enjoyed her interactions with tomori the most

i did!
bsky.app/profile/dlan...

ignored it bc disinterest/hype backlash, but since friends insisted and i need to be into things other than gacha... might as well lol. also heard interesting things about avemuji, so!
her and tomori are dual protags in my mind, but anon edges her out slightly bc i also really like her voice lol

"enjoyable but not super memorable" you took the words right out of my mouth lol. i think it served as a good primer before diving into the main course; admittedly my eyes were LOCKED IN whenever sakiko and uika were onscreen (all the avemuji main cast really), so that does bode well!

if rana had like, any reaction to soyo's scheme, i probs would feel different, bc she's ultimately a plot device that brings some levity. taki is only marginally above her in terms of exploration bc of her ties to crychic. and bc i felt nothing, i'm not incentivized to learn more either, sorry;;

right now i see it as umiri -> taki -> tomori -> sakiko lol
and then there's a tiny part of me that kinda likes anon/tomori, but that's neither here nor there

far be it from me to understand how band anime works, but i can assume mygo and avemuji got popular bc it was breaking from traditionally lighthearted stuff this kind of genre is usually found in. i get it. i'll probably enjoy avemuji more since i hear it's darker lol

i'm gonna start avemuji soon, but i'm assuming you're either talking about tomori (ex who wants her back) or mutsumi (childhood friend) lol

yeah honestly if enjoyment on a piece of media absolutely hinges on a specific twist or something, instead of everything else that goes into making it, then idk that doesn't seem worthwhile at all lol. but i'm looking forward to it ^^

finished mygo; it was p good. the girls are fine (i think i like anon the most). cheers to soyo being a messy bitch. imo rana felt kinda superfluous? not that i dislike her, i just didn't feel anything for her. she was there to move things along but that's it. also i feel bad for taki -> tomori lol

i think the reason why shiningale lasted for so long is bc their entire existences and narratives are tied together; you can't have one without the other. esp since liz is shining's reason for living, so it's very unlikely--if not impossible--to imagine someone else taking that spot in her heart

it's fine to still be attached to og pairs! hell, i haven't let go of blazethroat for example, even if i like bleizi too. or siege/indra, or lin/swire... the future feels so uncertain for most, bc you never know if they'll introduce a new character for the express purpose of breaking ppl up lol

Lol having prior knowledge of a ship might color my experience viewing it for the first time, but we’ll see :p

friend joked that the longer ak goes on, the more they try to "break up" the og ships by giving them new relationships, and so far only shiningale escaped this, which just goes to show the strongest and most enduring yuri is when it's mutually codependent and devoted. always the girl over the world

seeing ak newbies talk about the story/characters as a current player is surreal. while i've shifted my preference to certain ships, sometimes i get sadly nostalgic over some of the early ones... like angsty mostima/exusiai, hoshich'en, or the peak renaissance era of skaspec with nun specter...

silver lining is that eventually the "ex-wife" memes dwindled to the point you'd get criticized for it, and i can only hope something similar happens with air groove. understand both kal and groove have so much love in their hearts, but ppl who don't read reduce them to being frosty and unreasonable

i think part of why i like air groove so much is that she reminds me of kal'tsit, and the awful way ak fandom depicted (and still does, to an extent) her in reductive, ooc ways. ex-wife kal is akin to groove hating rudolf's jokes; a blatant misreading of their characters bc it's "funny" (it's not)

teio's somewhere between thinking they're cringe and not really understanding them either, since she told a laughing nature "i don't get it"
you're right that she wouldn't actually say they're bad in front of papa tho

it's this tiresome depiction that, even if the person means no harm by it, still perpetuates a certain outdated and inaccurate interpretation that ppl think is real. just uncharitable between "glorified secretary" and "nagging work wife" ugh
y'know who ACTUALLY hates rudolf's jokes? sirius symboli.

she’s annoyed with HERSELF for not getting rudolf’s puns, not at the puns themselves or at rudolf. she knows rudolf likes fishing for reactions to puns, and feels woefully inadequate for not reacting appropriately. groove canonically gets confused and embarrassed for being late to the punchline

idk man atp i'm side-eyeing anyone who makes anything in which the basis is “rudolf annoys air groove with jokes/puns” and groove is portrayed as either mad or admonishing rudolf, which is just a Tell for me that these ppl don’t know or care about even the most rudimentary things about groove orz

time spent trying to decipher these shipmojis and i think i've learned enough to say the latter is about a certain yellow/blue pair who were attributed as perro and sarkaz in a recent event? and if that's the case, i'm cheering for you on the sidelines 👏

thank you, but i'd say that groove perfectly likes fine motion! it's pils she doesn't like... and she can't really even tell her to bugger off since that's her roommate's sister. she tries, but pils either doesn't or refuses to take the hint

pils is an irish racehorse considered one of the strongest racers in europe (if not the world) back then. he won 1st in the illustrious japan cup (air groove got 2nd) but he was visibly in heat and wanted to mate with groove 😂 which disturbed her and caused her to lose.
passionate, but unrequited

yeah, i took a lot of cues from finemo (i was about to give her a white patch too, but the irl photos i saw didn't show him with one lol). they'll always be irish royalty in my heart 😔 retcon be damned
i want pils to show up more; eloquent, yet very aggressive in her pursuit
