Well, after a couple of months of being separated, the band is finally back together. So I thought I'd celebrate by grouping them all together in a single image. Complete with a slight make over for Oldy McOldface that happened a while back in game.
And I'll get into it later... but I may have some opinions about the disappearance of our little green friend, for various reasons.
There might be some minor tweaking to the paladin's fit in the next couple of weeks, depending on what happens with that character and the treasure we just found. We'll see what happens.
Anyway...
Soup this week was... not exactly the Lasagne Soup... mostly because it was a little thicker that that generally ends up due to me using noodles over the lasagne sheets. Good, but quite thick.
This week's Mini Media Review... the second anime I've actually loved, Sasaki and Miyano. The first being 2.43: Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Team. And not at all weirdly, they're both predominantly an all male cast. But Sasaki and Miyano is my first proper experience with BL (or Boy Love) anime. There was some mild flavouring of that to the Volleyball show, but it wasn't a direct theme. More accidental queerbaiting.
But Sasaki and Miyano is excellent. Incredibly well done, not least of all because it's as much a comedy as a romance and also because it's a BL anime about boys who love BL manga, so there's some meta explanations in there that I found helpful as someone new to the genre.
I will also say that I am 100% a Dubs stan for this particular anime. And you can lay that at the feat of Kellen Goff who does the voice for Sasaki. His character choices and line readings, exceptional.
I knew enough about most BL anime to know that we were headed into the realm of the 1950's screwball comedy... I could expect one or two chaste kisses before the end of the show and anything else would happen off screen after the show was over.
And that's what I got... and, honestly, given how much this whole show really hit a lot of those early gay relationship vibes, I was grinning like an idiot quite frequently, but never more so than in the final episode where they shared one chaste kiss that was essentially off screen and a second one that was essentially filmed from two neighbourhoods over. Still not mad at it.
The crochet blanket proceeds. I will say that I had some creeping doubts about whether the choice of stitch was the right one and if the yarn was too rough as a result. Weirdly, how scratchy that yarn feels seems to change on the daily. So I'm just going to keep going and then investigate some of the common remedies to dealing with less soft yarn. So there's that.
Friday Night DnD was me being foiled from enacting a plan by DM "interference". Admittedly fully understandable interference. But from my character's perspective, interference. I do, however, now have access to 3rd level spells, and hence Sending, so I can be all up in everybody's business all the time. Well, at least twice a day currently.
Yeah... that spell is going to be a problem. Not for me. For everybody else.
Anyway...
No grand excitement for today... really just the usual supermarket wander.
