Hiyori's Wish

Rest up, Violet Evergarden - you deserve it. We will see you again soon.

A fire has claimed the lives of several people and injured dozens at Kyoto Animation (株式会社京都アニメーション) studio in Japan. KyoAni as it is known, has brought us a lot of beautiful and unique creations, among them one of my all time favorites, Violet Evergarden.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire company and the families of those affected.

We the fans have a great responsibility, although many do not know it. We are the sole reason for the existence of this world of anime and manga and the reason why some reach the top while others fall to the bottom.

It's never just anime or manga, it is art. We are responsible for the safeguarding of it and we are responsible for how we treat it. Our opinions matter, always. Our thoughts matter, our feelings and our relationship - because that is what it is, with the creators, matter.

We show our support for them and what they create through our love for their work.

There will never be a second season if people didn't watch the first. There will never be another issue if people didn't read the first.

We now more than ever need to show our support and appreciation.

KyoAni, thank you for bringing us such amazing characters and bringing them to life through your hard work and dedication.

My heart goes out to you all.

Pondering ones existence makes for some clever lines.

"The greatest realization one can come to, is that our lives on their own are meaningless. It is only through the memories of others that our purpose is revealed."

"Whoever remembers the deeds of the wandering man makes his existence reality."

"A story is but a fabled legend unless there's someone to tell it."

My brain: If the universe is expanding....

Me: please no more...

My brain: but it's relevant?

Me: no it's really not...

My brain: I wonder if they have salted caramel chocolate on another planet?

Me:.... There's some right here on this one.

My brain and me: cupboard!

Me: I thought we were on that one diet you said would work?
