Man, I’m glad I chose Black Eagles first. I assume...

i think im headed her way next to get some answers but if youre where i think you are my first reaction besides “yO WTF” was “…good for her”

So where and do magic idols fall in on this? Bc pretty rhythm, especially it’s final season is very much magical girl ��

Hrm. Stuff like this is always tough for me, because unless “mahou” is in the title it’s all kind of up for debate. Even then sometimes. And the new idol anime are especially idk to me. They’re mostly super different from the previously well established conventions of magical idol sub-genre.

Back when the game-inspired idol anime trend was starting (both Pretty Rhythm and Aikatsu! most prominently), I was pretty firmly “they’re not magical girls.” Because, like, they didn’t even really seem to consider it magic? Like it’s just how the world works because all the magical stuff was really just a game mechanic. Like if people find out Creamy Mami is just an elementary school girl, they’d be super shocked because the transformation she undergoes should be literally impossible. But no one seemed surprised in the same way in the other shows. Any surprise is just a “Wow! I didn’t know I/she could be this good/pretty/whatever.” So, it’ wa basically just an idol, but not very magical thing.

That’s what I thought watching the first few episodes of the first season, so it very well might have changed. The timeline itself is more about completion, giving as much information in as organized a manner, so ultimately I’d rather be careful and add them.

But I really should try to add more categories for classification, so it’s easier for anyone to choose themselves whether to include or disregard certain trends like this.

okay back up, haunted ds

I didn’t touch my DS for months and then one day it randomly turned on by itself. I think I just left it in sleep mode the last time I used it and then finally the battery was trying to let me know it was dying but it became a joke that it’s haunted.

Also there’s like something broken/loose in the part that holds GBA cartridges and sometimes GBA games freeze or the DS just won’t read them. But if the cartridge comes loose when you’re in the middle of playing it it freezes and makes this terrifying sound so.

@sugaredrefrain <33 THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!

47.  If you make resolutions, what will your resolutions be for the coming year?

Holly ain’t my fave, but I decided to draw her anyway.
