bro do you not see she's busy getting her lazy sunday on

I watched romantic killer on Netflix with my friend, and we both were going in ready to laugh at what we thought was gonna be a really bad reverse harem anime… We were very wrong it’s so good please watch it!

Tfw your bestie beats your ass at chess

Anyway um. Twirls my hair. You should all. Go watch Romantic Killer 😳

NO ONE TOUCH ME THEY ARE ALL DATING

and they were roommates

I can’t watch romcoms cuz I’m always like why don’t they just be a poly -w- anyway here’s Kazuki protecting his babygirls 

Few of the many reactions of our best girl, Anzu Hoshino!

this honestly the bare minimum because there are so many more hilarious moments in this anime. Anzu's VA, Rie Takahashi did such an amazing job at voicing her! It's immaculate, especially the way her voice switches to manly-ness all of a sudden XDD

Anzu Hoshino is a lengend PERIOD

them‼️

Something I find interesting about romantic killer is junta’s and kazuki’s relationship. (I actually love everyone’s relationship but I’ll get into that later)

Like even when Kazuki declares that ya he has actually started liking Anzu romantically, my sweetheart junta just goes “right!! She’s so cool right!!” And my heart just exploded right there.

How fuckin healthy is that??? Idc it’s the bare minimum idc idc, just junta being like “who wouldn’t like her?? Have u seen Anzu!!” Is the purest form of love and appreciation.

We’ve seen it multiple times during the show too how his affection towards her is not baseless, it’s not some spell that Riri cast on him (or any of them) Anzu is just that likeable!

I just love that there’s no toxic display of masculinity in this show. (And the toxic ones— looking at u kazuki’s d*d— deserved what they got) Like it’s so refreshing! Each of their interactions up until the end has been awkward, to say the least, but respectful, yk? And I’ve just had so much of men like trying to one up each other, and displays of jealousy followed by possessive behaviour, ugh when I tell you I was happy to see nothing but healthy communication or just mature handling of a situation. Like when Ryuya admitted he liked Anzu ! He didn’t go about it the best way at first but that’s okay, bc he learned!! He apologised to Junta too.

Like I get it, I love me a good jealousy trope yk, but let’s be real, Anzu would not deal w that shit and that makes me really happy bc that’s some real shit!! If someone tried to like be outwardly possessive of me, I’d be like wtf dude.

And these are high school boys!! They’re human, and have insecurities, and are children at the end of the day!

I think that other than the initial premise of the show, (which honestly didn’t even put me off all that much if I’m being honest, I just thought it was funny), I genuinely grow to like this show more the more I think about it.

Preparing for Halloween 💕😜

Day 205 - 1/19/23

My friend told me to watch Romantic Killer, so I just started it's very cute!

Posting Art Streak: 23 days (New Record!)

SO I just finished binging all of Romantic Killer bc it came up in my recommended. And oh my god I loved it so much;;

There’s definitely mixed reviews about it WHICH IS FAIR bc the premise is about a girl named Anzu who isn’t interested in romantic relationships but she then gets pushed into typical dating sim situations with Really Cute Boys in an effort to like. Force her into a relationship. And obv this kinda comes off as arophobic. But the fact that she so stubbornly refuses to partake and tries so hard to veer away from those situations makes it so fucking funny, especially when she rejects the boys with faces like this

And it turns out it’s really just a show about found family and overcoming trauma and developing healthy friendships with people and UGH. UGHHH it’s so good.

I actually adore Riri lmao they’re SUCH a little shit and I very much enjoy insanely chaotic characters like that. And we start off thinking okay wow this person’s kind of an asshole for forcing a girl to get a boyfriend by taking away her cat, her favorite hobby and her favorite snack, but then we find out OH, they’re just a cog in a corporate machine and they don’t really have much of a choice about it. And we slowly see Riri actually gain true affection for Anzu, and see how much they come to care about her as a person rather than just as a test subject, to the point of them actually breaking the rules of their contract just to make sure she’s safe. AND NOT JUST HER. They make sure the people she’s associated with are safe too, even if it risks them getting in Big Trouble with their boss. AND the fact that they canonically go by they/them pronouns but can ALSO transform into a boy or a girl depending on their preference, and they playfully flirt with Anzu in both forms?? It’s so good. Also thinking about the effort that Anzu goes through to make sure Riri gets to stick around;; like even tho she’d never admit it. She’s come to care for them too in some very strange way lol

And Junta;; the fact that Anzu is actually so concerned about him possibly being brainwashed into the position of childhood friend? Like she doesn’t immediately push him away or shut him down, she actually cares about him as a person and wants him to find happiness and wants to get him out of the situation she thinks he’s in. But then she finds out oh wait he actually IS a childhood friend. And he’s such a good boy. I love love LOVE how they handle the love triangle aspect in this, because obviously yes there’s a bit of jealousy, but not enough for things to get petty between him and Kazuki. They actually treat each other with respect and regard each other as friends and are kinda rooting for the other in their own way. Kind of “may the best man win” sort of thing. There’s no toxicity, there’s no classic “fighting over the female love interest” trope, they actually genuinely like each other after a bit of awkwardness enough to feel comfortable with living together and living with Anzu. They’re SO fucking sweet god dammit //shakes fists

(Honestly tho I really wish we got more episodes focused on Junta. Bc he really seemed like more of a background character and made the whole “love triangle” aspect not feel as prominent. Which is fine I guess?? But I felt so bad for him lmao)

And Kazuki 😭 My beloved. My poor sweet boy who deserves the world and everything in it. Just the build up. The subtle hints of his trauma that pop up every now and then. And when it all comes together you’re like oh!! Ohhh. THAT’S why he acts so aloof and cold all the time. THAT’S why he doesn’t like being the center of female attention. THAT’S why he gets distressed at things that, at first, seem so insignificant. THAT’S why he got attached to Anzu so quickly. And I love the way they handle his trauma, how they don’t make it seem any less important or alarming just because he’s a guy. And how Anzu’s there for him through everything 🤧 How she’s the person to pull him out of the darkness, how she stands up for him time and time again, how she just KNOWS when he’s uncomfortable and steps in to protect him. She ends up caring about him so much despite how they were set up to encounter initially. And he cares about her so much too. And I just 🥺 I care them

Also the fact how everyone came to help Kazuki when they found out what was going on. No judgement, no “you’re making this up”, no “isn’t this your fault to begin with?” They all just step in without even hesitating and support him through his trauma and immediately go “Okay we’ve got a problem so here’s our gameplan.” SEE. IT’S REALLY ABOUT THE FOUND FAMILY,

And one of my favorite things. Riri 🤝 Hijiri using their influence and power to protect both Anzu and Kazuki despite the risks to their reputation and social standing

OH AND I wanted to mention. I love that all of the classic romantic tropes i.e. something happening to your cute neighbor’s apartment so that they’re forced to live with you while it gets sorted out--those are generally really cheesy and make huge plot holes and don’t make ANY sense in the narrative. But that’s the thing about RK, they make it funny, yeah your cute boy neighbor’s apartment flooded bc we need him to come live with you. We did it with magic. Yes your childhood friend is living with you now bc we had a weirdo break into your apartment--with magic. So now he feels like he needs to stay with you and protect you. Yes you got hit by a car with a really rich boy inside and now he’s interested in you. We also did this with magic. Everything that would be regarded as a “coincidence” and is a badly written plot point just to push two characters together is actually explained through the hilarious concept of magic and I LOVE that it’s so fucking funny

Honestly this show is really up to interpretation too which I like a lot? Some people think hey yeah, maybe Anzu will end up with someone. Others say you know what the message here is that friendship is the most important thing and sometimes platonic relationships are better than romantic ones. The ending is pretty ambiguous so it could really go in any direction.

Anyway I have so much more to say but. Just watch Romantic Killer it’s really good thanks bye

(Trigger warnings include sexual harassment/assault, stalking, panic attacks/PTSD, and attempted murder, so please take care while watching <3)

Tolerance training for eternity in hell

So I guess the author of Romantic Killer says that there won't be plans for another season or any more chapters. Excuse me while I go be a little sad about it 😂 fanfic writers better step up their game 😞
