This is really relatable
I can relate 100% I have lots of friends but all of them usually have a friend they’re closer with than me
Youtube comments suck. I remember seeing a comment about a cat looking at itself in a mirror and within five replies it turned into a debate about something completely different

Also I can't post the link for it but there's also the iconic meme of Ferid with his leg on a table and the words "You can kill orphans for fun, change my mind."

Me, clicking on another cat video shamelessly:
Offline
I have no shame, I just watched a bunch of cats steal treats and I have literally no regrets.
Yeah this is probably gonna result in something like me writing AgK! characters like cats at some point but y'know. It's all the fun.
Haha cat videos don't help writing/drawing phases at all.
Maybe I should try drawing cats at some point idk
I feel like they'd get revenge

It's also my fault for spamming politics/civil rights videos
They look weird combined with all the gaming, anime, music, and art videos tbh

fjdsklfjklsdf all of these Seraph of the End memes,,, gosh maybe I should try to go through it again
I kinda forgot who Guren is though?

@Tere - I didn't miss your comment on purpose sfkjsdeikedjoi but that's such an oof
@Autumn - Guren Ichinose is the Lieutenant General of the Demon Army; he's the dude with the cocky smirk on his face all the time. He's the dude who rescued the protagonist (Hyakuya Yuuichiro) and he can be such a jerk xD. Idk if that helps but anyways yeah

My mom's singing in the shower ajfdijo
Nothing bad about it but xD she sings every song in the same pitch/tone a man would and I always sing higher
She talks in the "normal" (aka higher than most males) pitch/tone but xDDD idk what it is with her singing voice
She's improving every day tho so I probably shouldn't laugh xD

記得來過這地方 有無數人倒下
搖搖欲墜的警笛 堅守著立場
說巧不巧 老婦人祈禱
嘴裡彷彿是有我姓名
那截石雕 沒有烈士二十三號
記得離開這地方 誰眼角有光
血腥滋味在徬徨 爬不出絕望
冠冕堂皇 誰趾高氣揚
志願者沒有權利失望
三遍口號 倖存的人不求回報
我 操控麻木的四肢去尋找
我 靠著模糊的意識開了竅
拿捏剛好我的噩夢不老套
袖手旁觀的人邊記筆錄邊推敲
...
有無數人倒下 搖搖欲墜的警笛 堅守著立場

二十三聲鐵絲斷折 榮耀謝幕甚失色
我已經懂了 誰趾高氣揚
志願者沒有權利失望

I think the style of the song and the conclusion really hits me hard, honestly.
Too bad this is a theme song of one of my characters too.
Angst, I guess.

Song name: "The #23 Hospital Bed"
(More direct translation: "#23 Sick Bed", again, English isn't sufficient to cover some Chinese themes but I personally think the sickness theme is more fitting.)
To talk more about it...the entire song is about the same. There is no section where the rhythm, speed, style, etc., changes. But throughout the song, in which the speaker (the person communicating the lyrics to the listener) tells their story, they are coming to realize the despair of their situation. And at the end, there is no sudden realization and no change that reflects that non-existent and sudden realization--instead, the song, where it could have continued, or even looped, merely stops in an undramatic pulse.
The story is pretty clear that it isn't a happy one. The first set of lyrics goes: "記得來過這地方 有無數人倒下 / 搖搖欲墜的警笛 堅守著立場 / 說巧不巧 老婦人祈禱 嘴裡彷彿是有我姓名 / 那截石雕 沒有烈士二十三號". Translated to English (roughly, Chinese is so poetic lol): "Remember coming to this place where innumerable people once fell / An emergency flute about to fall down stubbornly guarding the circumstances / Is it a coincidence? An old woman prays, my name perhaps [being spoken] (the more direct translation would be "in her mouth" but yeah let's not say that) / On that stone memorial there is no twenty third warrior"
First of all, I love how there's no specification for pronouns. They just remember. It doesn't specify whether it's the speaker or the listener or anyone. The vagueness is so direct and it's meaningful. Love it.
It's made pretty clear (though implied) that it's a battlefield where many people died, and the speaker is the only survivor. The "stone memorial" is basically like an army grave. They recall "搖搖欲墜的警笛 堅守著立場". There could be two meanings that fit: "搖搖欲墜" means something about to fail or fall, and there is no preventing that. Therefore, this part of the lyrics could imply someone about to fail in protecting still stubbornly persisting in guarding the situation. Another more "incorrect" definition of "搖搖欲墜" could mean a literal waving motion, so basically "waving an urgent flute" but still stubbornly guarding the situation. That doesn't make it any more tragic, because all of these starting lyrics mean that they have obviously failed. #23 is the only survivor.

I just had the epitome of a "I am stupid" realization
Ok I called them "urgent flutes" and while I was munching noodles I realized the better meaning is 'alarms"
I'm so dumb lol

Honestly "urgent flutes" is much better than saying "alarms"

It's great because my mom's looking at some movie that details a family and an American at the end of WWII and I'm listening to "#23 Sickness Bed" and really wanting to cry

I accidentally heard "Yeet" from the American soldier (it's the climax of the movie pretty sure) and I'm not sure what to punch, myself or the screen

I was going to ruin my own day with the song analysis but I now want to just point out, the speculated death rate is still going up, even if it's at a steady rate. Protesters, if you gotta go out, wear fricking face masks. Ofc some are, but in most of the pictures, there's a bunch who don't. I just want to ask: Why???
