First of all-- open for the entire month of MAY is the FRIENDS ICON REQUEST POST. You want an icon made by me, drop in your request and I'll see what I can do! I love giving presents and hurrah for 50 extra icon slots, amirite?

---

Been stuck under a rock evidentally-- First it was in FFXIV, being stuck at the GOLDEN SAUCER, trying to get myself the Regalia Mount. GUESS WHAT I MANAGED TO DO? Yaaas, get the Regalia Mount-- guess what I don't want to hear again? If you guessed "GOLDEN SAUCER MUSIC", you would be 100% correct, that was from hours upon hours of punching Gilgamesh over and over while I waited for dungeons to load, and having randoms Gates come up where I was forced to do Leap of Faith with what seemed like 100s of people trying to compete for the same jumping spot. (Yeah, no manner of camera angle adjustment will ever make that ok)

Trying to get other characters ready for ShadowBringers tho.

Also I've been watching Fruits Basket and OH MY FEELS! I remember this all-- like the onslaught of feels and I wonder, am I going to cry when we get to the "Snow" episode, I just know it. There will be icons from that as well-- when I get a chance, so much on my plate (and I have to fit work, husband and sleep into the equation as well, though luckily he is watching Furuba with me)

Other items of note.

1.) plugging away through Princess, which is slightly more violent to my feels then Furuba is. And it didn't help that after the GoT episode on Sunday, I had a crossover of Game of Thrones and Princess. SUPER STUPID BRAIN, WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?
2.) Been hitting the random button on Crunchyroll-- watched Ramen Fighter Miki. BRAIN! STAHP~!
3.) Also, RECOMMENDATION! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND READ THE COMIC LORE OLYMPUS-- SERIOUSLY SO MUCH LOVE!

Alrighty, that is it in a nutshell-- that was my fandom vomit! *gets out the mop* Srry, everybody-- I get enthusiastic.

Fruits basket is Emoji Kawaii heart

I remember watching the original almost twenty years ago with my then-girlfriend in my dorm room, and now there's a new version. It's amazing.

I know! Its a bucket full of heart warming.. also glad that it is telling the manga version! I remember the fans exploding when the manga deviated from the anime, but I also remember the manga going so much deeper into the motivations

I think I read that Takaya Natsuki never really liked the changes the original anime had been forced to make and had been agitating for years for a new anime, so I'm glad she finally got her wish.

Good luck with getting your characters ready for ShadowBringers! *waves support banner*

Fruits Basket is all sorts of feels-inducing. ♥ That is so sweet that your husband is watching it with you! ♥

Haha, I have been tempted to sometimes hit the random button on Crunchyroll at times too!

Thank you for the recommendation as well! ♥

ah hey, thanks for talking about this because i've been meaning to get that mount myself. i was crafting by a marketboard and i saw someone with it but promptly forgot and logged off since i was doing moogle quests.

i'm not ready for shadowbringers yet but hopefully i will be soon. i'm meaning to play a little later on today if this allergy medicine actually decides to work.

fruits basket is so good! it's been great to see all the characters again. it's pretty cute that your husband watches it with you :)

I cannot wait until they get to hatori and Ayame... my favorite was always the golden trio of Shigure, ayame and hatori.

Such a great bit of nostalgia!

And the Regalia can be gotten in a weeks time. That is how I did it. Just park it at GS and do gates and cactpot and you should be fine!

yeah, same!
i love hatori so much. he's my favorite.
& thanks for the advice, i'll
probably start working on it today
