Sanrio Boys💖

Last night we finished watching Sanrio Boys. Oh my gosh do I love those boys.

When I first heard about this anime I thought it was going to just basically be an advert for Sanrio stuff plus now these cute boys who would surely have merch too (I didn't know then that the characters already existed but I since found out and I want these blind box cup balancey things (puttito?) so much) and I was fine with that tbh, but it wasn't that. It's. So. Good. It covers friendship, gender stereotypes and having the confidence to like whatever you want, family, grief, guilt, wanting to sparkle and not fully knowing what you even mean!!!!!
One of the main and more obvious points is about how boys can like cute stuff too which is an important message because let's face it if boys were allowed to just like whatever they wanted they maybe wouldn't grow up to be angry jerks and I love how reassuringly it's dealt with. If you're worried about admitting something about yourself it's easy to play out all these crazy ways people are going to react that keep you hiding the thing but I felt Sanrio Boys handled this in a really reassuring way, nothing really bad happened when Kouta started admitting he loves Pompompurin. Some people are like "oh, that's weird for a boy" but it doesn't get dwelled on, no one is really awful to him about it, it's like a gentle nudge of "go ahead, be yourself, it'll be fine."

I really enjoyed it, it was funny and cute and had some really horrible moments and made me cry and was overall a real good time. I definitely recommend watching it, especially if you thought about it but then didn't because it might have been a nothing-y advert. It's so much better than that.

Also, they better be working on a series 2 with Badtz Maru dude being in it because I very much want to watch that (＝⌒▽⌒＝)

Here it is on crunchyroll for free and here is the official Sanrio Boys website ^_^

Two posts worth of these because I've been very unmotivated lately but am feeling more productive now. I still don't know what I want to do with my blog these days but I want to do more in general so maybe I'll have things to share or be trying new blog type things. Or maybe not, I have no idea :) Do people even read blogs anymore? Not that that matters too much to me, I like to make things and document myself regardless of whether anyone is looking at it but it can be nice to know I've put something out in the world that someone else feels is worth a little bit of their time. I still like blogs anyway so here we are ^_^

Snow! Part 2

The second half of my snow photos, I went for a walk to the meadow and it fulfilled all my snowy needs. I even ended up with snow down the back of my boots, a successful snow day.




Icicles are a popular image for symbolising wintry weather but I feel like I've only ever seen a handful of them and they're always very small. When I do come across any it feels a bit like a special treat.











These photos were taken on Wednesday, I'm typing this on Friday and as much as I enjoyed it while it was fresh I'd quite like the snow to melt now. Not in a grumpy way, it's just that it stopped snowing on Wednesday but is still super cold so it's not melting but is getting dangerous to walk on. And seeing as it's March now I'm so ready for warmer weather so my skin can stop being so sore and dry. I wish the snow had come earlier in the season. It's like it waited until the worst bit of winter where it feels like it'll never end and you're so ready and expecting it to start looking like spring and then was just like "haha no here's more winter than you've had all winter lol!"
But I am glad we got some snow, it's a magical thing.

Here's my snow vlog too if you're interested ^_^

Snow! Part 1

Like I guessed, I took many a snow photo so I've split them into two posts to make them slightly more manageable, these first ones are all home based and the next post are from when I ventured further out into the world.







The sound of stepping on fresh snow might be one of my favourite sounds.



This is the Wednesday morning, the snowiest day.






I watched this bird for ages, she's so pretty. She was eating the berries and also little mouthfuls of snow. I'm not sure what sort of bird she is though, I feel like I'd recognise her if she weren't all puffed up but maybe not, I don't know much about birds other than they're cool.

I also have a snow themed vlog that I'm currently uploading (I'll link to it in the next post, I will definitely forget to come and add a link here) so all your snow themed media needs are covered ^_^
