Warning: MAJOR TGCF spoilers (ch 241) and Given (ch 26) Spoilers
Thinking about Given and Ugetsu suddenly feeling the immense emptiness of losing Akihiko that is then replaced by the calm of finally being able to let go and free himself from the chrysalis 🦋 .

Soundless gasps.... one is losing someone but they are at least alive in this world and breaking free from toxicity and the other is knowing someone will be back but it could be 1 year or 800 years and one must hold onto that faith day by day.
Literally best boi, best wholesome friend to Haruki, best support fan of Given. He deserves so much love, he's healthy, he's reliable, he's creative, he's got a man bun. I need a spin-off series with Take-chan just being cute with Yayoi.
HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?! Orchestral Version of .....
❄️FUYU NO HANASHI❄️
WE ARE GETTING A FUYU NO HANASHI ORCHESTRAL VERSION???!!!
I AM SCREAMINGGGGG!!!!! I've actually always wanted to hear a classical version of fuyu no hanashi, in fact I was thinking of making the cover myself since I am in a piano quintet. BUT OMG they have read my MIND HOLY SHIT I AM SO EXCITEEEEDDDDDD Please come December 1st!
which is this beautiful Akigetsu dj from the talented and wonderful @balvana, AND IT ARRIVED MIRACULOUSLY ON MY BIRTHDAY LAST WEEK! I kid you not, what literally happened was
I screamed
shut the door to my room
then screamed again
opened the package to this beautifully and carefully wrapped dj and handwritten card ❤️😭
screamed again
then read the entire book on the floor of my bedroom
screamed again when I read Balvana's author notes on the research of the violin repertoires referenced in the work (realising that she took inspiration from one of my favourite violin pieces ever)
screamed again
simultaneously heard my family saying "Hey are you ok?" behind the door.
That's literally what happened 😆
Thanks so much Balvana ❤️❤️❤️ there is something so wonderful about reading the physical copy of The Sound of Rain, it's even better than reading it online! Thank you so much! Please give her a follow! She's currently making another Ugetsu post-canon dj and working on her own original Story and characters! And they are AMAZING!

SO IT'S ONLY BEEN A MONTH SINCE I JOINED THE GIVEN FANDOM...
On Sep 11th, I watched Given anime and the Given Movie. Then my brain stopped functioning for a whole week. Then I blitzed through the Given manga.
On Sep 18th is when I started this Tumblr to process the pain and joy that Given has 'given' me. 😭❤️🙏🥺
Today on October 18th is when I'm going to be handing in✨my Honours Thesis in Music Composition ✨ that I've been working on for two freaking years. It clocks in at:
- 62 pages
- 11,836 words
And since joining Tumblr and the Given fandom just a month ago, I've been keeping track of all my Given posts on a word doc, clocking in at:
- 113 pages
- 18,749 words
AND THAT'S ONLY THE 12 PUBLISHED METAS, that's not even the QUEUED or DRAFT METAS! I literally have a meta queued every Sunday until Jan 2nd 2022 as of right now. That's a total of 11 unpublished metas still unaccounted for.
SOOOOOO
WHICH UNIVERSITY HAS AN OFFER for a PhD in GIVEN ANALYSIS?
