Midwestern Roads Suck. Especially In Late Fall/winter.
Midwestern roads suck. Especially in late fall/winter.
My wife, sibling-in-law and I left a few days early for Christmas stuff with my in-laws. We took our time because it’s a few days before we were originally gonna leave since the weather is gonna be worse later this week. We grabbed dinner, picked up some things from my parents house on the way and went through the Holiday Park in my hometown. It was another 45 minute drive to get to my in-laws. No big deal. Y’know, under oridinary circumstances.
Now, it had been raining a little bit. Nothing big, just some light sprinkling. However, the temperature is 30 degrees fahrenheit and that rain starts to turn into sleet. Not only that, it starts freezing on the roads. This drive just became significantly harder and longer. We nearly spun out a couple of times (no accidents, we got there safely) so I have to inch the rest of the way there. My in-laws live in a very rural area so not only do we have to deal slick highways, we have to deal with slick country roads. Oh joy.
Once we get there, about an hour later, the gravel road that makes up the driveway is also slippery. This is less of a problem for driving and more a problem for walking and unloading our car of all of our stuff. We got in just fine, no one got hurt. But man, I am still kinda high off of the adrenaline rush. Having to drive that slowly took all of my concentration and focus. I am drained. On the bright side, my in-laws have six dogs and they’re all very good puppers. Plus, my sibling-in-law just got a kitten so yay! The rest of the week should be fine since I won’t have to drive as much.
Happy Holidays!

MASHLE!!! APRIL!!! LET’S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!
This is one of the funniest series I’ve ever read. I can’t recommend it enough. One of my favorite series running in Jump right now, though it is close to ending. Anyway, this trailer is great. Perfectly captures the series. Go read or watch Mashle. 🤩
I was watching the new Bleach episode this morning and realized something really funny. It may only be funny to me but I thought it was worth sharing. Spoilers if you haven't seen the latest episode yet:
Okay, so Nel drops in on Ichigo to tell him Hueco Mundo has been attacked and I'm like, "Yay Nel!" Then Pesche follows shortly after and I'm like, "Ehhh, okay." Until I realize that Pesche's voice sounds very familiar. Specifically, it sounds like Takehito Koyasu. I look it up and yup, it is him. Now why is this so funny, you might ask? Simple. Because it means that this guy,
is voiced by the same guy that voices
Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Again, this may only be funny to me, but it's really funny.
Bonus fact: Takehito Koyasu also voices Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo from the series of the same name. Also really funny.

I’m having a lot of financial trouble again for paying bills, so I need to start selling emergency commissions to make up what I need. Icons full color full shading are all 50 dollars, three slots are open. They look a little like this:
Please consider purchasing a commission from me or donating to my ko-fi. I really need the help right now! If you can’t do either, a reblog is just as appreciated. I have no time left to pay the bills and I need this asap.

Hello!
Okay, I've had this account for several months now and I'm realizing that I never really introduced myself. So that's what this is.
Hi! I'm Getsu! I'm really shy! And I love anime, manga, and video games! I'm a big Nintendo person and I read a lot of shonen manga. As for anime, I like a lot of different kinds. Action, battle, slice of life, comedy, thriller, etc. I'll go into specifics here in a sec. I'm 29 years old, married, and have both Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. I made this account intially because I was getting back into Bleach but I realized that I can focus on all of my special interests in a much more organized way than Twitter, which is nice. :D So this will be an amalgam of things I like. YAY! If anyone is curious about my Twitter, mutuals can DM me. I use my real name there so yeah. Though, considering Twitter might crash and burn I may just change my user name here. We'll see. Uh, what else? Oh, right! Specifics!
Anime/manga I really like: One Piece, Bleach, Mob Psycho 100, Jujutsu Kaisen, Komi Can't Communicate, Oddtaxi, Chainsaw Man, Haikyuu!, Kuroko's Basketball, Spy x Family, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Fullmetal Alchemist, Demon Slayer, Dr. Stone, Laid-Back Camp and so much more!
New manga I that I really like that I always recommend: Akane-Banashi, Sakamoto Days, Blue Box, Mission: Yozakura Family, Kaiju No. 8, and Mashle: Magic & Muscles.
VIDEO GAMES: Mario, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Kirby, Pokémon, Super Smash Bros., Xenoblade Chronicles, and Splatoon for specific games. As for genres: RPG's, JRPG's, platformers, metroidvanias, action games (ex: Devil May Cry, Bayonetta), puzzle games, big open exploration stuff, heavy narrative driven games (ex: Bioshock, Edith Finch), arcade style games, comfy games, and party games (Mario Party, Mario Kart, Jackbox).
I actually used to stream on Twitch regularly. I've been on hiatus from that since August. I plan to come back the week after Thanksgiving so I might change my user name around then. Just a heads up. Okay, I think that's everything. Sorry if this got kinda rambly. I hope that I can share my love for my interests and maybe meet some new friends! If you read this far, thanks!
EDIT: Changing my name because Twitter is dying. Will fix in the morning.
i will die on the hill of inoue orihime being a good character actually
