Ah, but it was only a false awakening, and we once more find ourselves amidst the garden of ceaseless yapping. I have a great idea for what to play tonight. Oh, that's right, it's that Borges story I really like. Probably my second favorite after the Stone Circle, off the top of my head.
Anyway, what I'm here to talk about is Sonny Boy. At some point I asked for recommendations that cater to my specific vibe, and Sonny Boy is extremely that. I have. At least a couple of things to say about it.
Une: Yes, I can see very clearly that this is another coming-of-age story, with adolescent romance and supernatural forces in the mix, but I swear it's really different this time! Plus, a youtube channel I like, that does cool little animation tutorials, worked on this show! I really wanna get a light table for like 50 bucks as just a cheap way to experiment with some animation. I think I just have to ignore the fact that I can't draw figures worth a damn just to potentially reinvigorate my artistic practice with some novelty. I like to play with things! Maybe one of my values, actually!
Duo: This show is making me understand what it is about me that makes me such a Taurus. The character is so clearly in denial about other people's feelings of love for him. There's a lot to talk about there in terms of how my past has been characterized by dismissing out-of-hand any assesment of another person's feelings toward me as positive as. idk, self-aggrandizement? arrogance? jesus, what have i been doing this entire time? Nathalie framed this in a particular way that really shook me up/cracked this open for me. Geological phenomena that pair together to dramatic effect.
Treize: It's been nice finding something to relax with again. The credits song is soooo good! It's even got an official AMV that I just found out about right now grabbing that link! Check out the lyrics too if you can. Really looking forward to my girl guitar lesson from Nathalie... I picked an extremely sad and mopey car seat headrest song to ask her to teach me, but if i pick it up as a hobby, I would really wanna learn faster, more upbeat stuff like this too! It feels like. It feels like it would be really good for me if I could pull it off. I've surprised myself a lot these past few months in terms of my abilities.
That's probably actually it.
