I’m super confident. But I’m also, like, an idiot. Which is just… I mean, it’s a brutal combination. But, I mean, the good news is, I get a big enough thump on my head, I can change, you know? I can learn. I can crawl forward.

@existenceisthis even when we're separated by distance, you are never far from my thoughts. I hope we get to meet again and again and again...

In honor of Ikeda Shōko 池田 晶子 (real name Terawaki Shōko 寺脇 晶子). She was one of the amazing animation directors of Inuyasha, as seen above.

She went on to become the chief animation director for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Sound! Euphonium. The Violet Evergarden film was one of her last works as an animation director.

My favorite lines of dialogue from the amazing fic, But Not Buried This Time, by @tierfal!  I read this story ages ago, but somehow the simple yet artful word choice of ‘benediction’ always kept this scene fresh in my mind :)
