There is not a single homely thing that, looked at from a certain angle, does not become fairy. Think of the Dapple, or the Dawl, when they roll the sunset towards the east. Think of an autumn wood, or a hawthorn in May. A hawthorn in May — there’s a miracle for you! Who would ever have dreamed that that gnarled stumpy old tree had the power to do that? Well, all these things are familiar sights, but what should we think if never having seen them we read a description of them, or saw them for the first time? A golden river! Flaming trees! Trees that suddenly break into flower! For all we know, it may be Dorimare that is Fairyland to the people across the Debatable Hill

like when it comes to people advocating for shit like more of kikuo's work to be included in prsk it's just...... did you... did you look at the lyrics. or did you just hear technically well-made somber-sounding music and go "yeah this would be perfect for 25ji to cover 😍🥰💖💖" (side note: society when 25ji stops getting labeled as the Edgy group when their personal themes are just as positive and lovely and heartwarming as all the other groups 💔society when this fandom learns to read) without taking the five minutes to understand the absolutely abysmal really fucking disturbing sickening topics kikuo tackles in his music . like this isn't music you listen to for fun it should make you uncomfortable you don't fucking Jam Out to this stuff you shouldn't be able to listen to it more than like. once. it has no place in prsk and this applies to a lot of other songs and producers y'all want in there and also some. songs that are already in the game but i digress

For the character bingo: Celehar (The Witness for the Dead series) or Reigen (MP100)?
Well I have to do both.
Celehar's arc isn't done but I'm obsessed regardless. He's growing and healing but also still can't see his own worth! Really looking forward to the last book. I want him to finally let go of some of that grief and forgive himself. Also the presumably popular ship for this character is the best and I love the slowburn.
Reigen's arc is very relatable in that "who am I really if my job doesn't define me" sort of way and I love him for that. He gets too much screen time in the second season (not in the manga) during the separation arc. The show runners should have dedicated one fewer episode to Reigen's story and put that extra time into the Mogami arc instead. I think the Mogami story line suffered from being too short and that Reigen's story would have done fine with two episodes. Bones loves Reigen (understandable) and probably let that bias towards his character dictate how much time they spent on him. Or maybe it's just that the show tends to do 3-episode arcs?
