January 4th,

Here's a random, quick, and not completely thought through anime take:

Okay, so I'm rewatching AoT (for like, at least the 8th time), and I'm on S3 Ep 15. If you forget which one that is, it's in the reclaiming of Wall Maria arc, and it begins with a flashback to the reclaiming of Trost arc showing us how Marco actually died. **Spoiler alert if you haven't seen it yet: He overhears Reiner and Bertholdt talking abt their titan forms, and they tackle him onto a roof/front door overhead, have Annie strip him of his ODM gear, and leave him there for a titan to eat.

Now, while I do blame Reiner, Annie, and I guess Bertholdt (though he didn't do much), I can't help but feel like Marco could've survived at least a bit longer. Why? Well, unless they broke his legs and the anime just skipped over that, I thought of a couple of ways off the top of my head:

Way 1 – the window: If he turned his head to the left, he would notice a window, which Annie threw his ODM gear through, which created a hole big enough for his arm to fit through and which very clearly had the ability to open. He could've easily put his arm through and opened the window from the inside and crawled in before the titan got to him OR if he didn't have enough time, he had boots, so just kick the window in and crawl through.

Way 2 – the door: He coulda just rolled his ass off the roof (yes, it's sorta high, but not THAT high) and kicked in the door or any nearby door.

Again, that is unless, of course, they broke his legs, and the anime just skipped over that part, but even then, the window is a valid option.

Just as some background, I'm a senior in high school and I'm on the cross country team. My brother's friends live relatively close to me and him so we end up carpooling to and from practice (although with school, it's more carpooling from practice). Our one idiot friend's dad sometimes gets us from practice. Now, this guy annoys me. When we had practice in the summer, he'd occasionally take us there and when he did, he'd get us there late. Anyway, homecoming is coming up and a couple days ago, the dad was talking us home from practice and he was talking to all of us and he's saying something like, "I know this guy and he has some girls that I can set you guys up with as dates for homecoming". Now, I'm gay. However, I'm not admitting that to everyone in the car (there were four of us kids and besides me, everyone is a junior). And the LAST person I'm telling my secret to is this kid's dad. And he started talking to me for a bit, saying "@cadawan, you're not saying anything. You up for a date?" and I was caught off guard so I just go "Hm? Oh...uh, nah". I was sitting in the very back of his car, btw. And I know that he isn't really gonna set us up with dates but istg if he actually did I'd be friggin pissed. That would just be really awkward for me and I'm sure whoever the girls is, she wouldn't like me. I wouldn't want her asking me something like "What's wrong? Do you not like me or something?". Like, what do I say to that?

"Sorry darling, girls just don't do it for me"?

"Sorry, I prefer dudes"?

"Sorry, I'm gay, tho"?

Like, that's all I can think of saying.

Side note, there's actually this cute boy on the cross country team that I totally have a crush on and I'm pretty sure he's gay too but I dunno know if he has a bf and I'm too chicken shit to ask. I personally wouldn't go with a date to homecoming but if he asked me, I wouldn't be able to refuse. He is SUCH a sweet kid and I feel really awkward about fantasizing about kissing him but I can't help it. He is legit the only reason I like going to practice.

January 22nd,

Happy birthday to Katai Tayama of the Armed Detective Agency.

If you've seen other stuff I've posted, you'd know I'm not a shipper. Like, unless it's one of those canon ones like Victor x Yuri or Mafuyu x Uenoyama or something like that, I don't support it. Okay, aside from Reki x Langa, which I think is listed as semi-canon. That one I support. Not really any non/semi-canon ones aside from that, though. HOWEVER, I was just watching episode 23 of the Disastrous Life of Saiki K, and I couldn't get over how adorable it is that Kuboyasu and Kaidou call each other on a first name basis (in the dub, at least). Like, Kaidou doesn't even call Saiki by his first name, but he calls Kuboyasu "Aren" and Kuboyasu calls him "Shun". Idk if there's something behind it, but I thought it was cute af.

I completely forgot this line existed and it's perfect. And a certain few people should probably jot this down:

Hmmmm, now knowing my posts, what or who could I be referring to? 🤔

If you're still not sure, some of the tags might help.

Pam is wise, two people hanging out aren't automatically together. That also applies to two people getting a drink.

I'm on a binge streak of The Office.
