Sorry For My Rambling - Blog Posts
(I made simple drawings of my comfort characters to try finding/refining my drawing style so I’m posting them as a series! Comfort characters part 1.) Rapunzel my darling girl, whom I love with all my heart and adopt as my niece.
I think Rapunzel will deep down always be my favourite Disney princess no matter what. I saw this movie in the cinema when it first came out when I was a small girl and was utterly obsessed. I remember I saw the movie in 3D and wanted to try grabbing one of the lanterns but knew I couldn't. I also drew a little picture book of a bunch of scenes from the movie and would tie scarfs to my hair and then stand by my window with the scarfs hanging out. I wanted TO BE Rapunzel so bad. Tangled will probably always be my favourite movie because all the memories it brings back. I've probably seen it 40 times but it never gets old. I know this movie word for word honestly. If anybody wants to start a chain in the comment section that's just the whole movie script that would be great.
i complain alot when it comes to uni and my course, but not gonna lie, here on my final year i've started to fall in love with it again, the way the fascination started when i was younger and learning new things was exciting.
throughout learning it always felt like i was not built for it, that I just cannot for the life of me focus and dedicate myself on anything. and i was just doubting myself and i should change courses or drop out because I was not meant to do this. and now on my second last semester, things kinda clicked. It may be hard for me to understand and learn, but it's worth it. To see the universe in all of its beauty, its ugliness, its complexity, its charm; it's a struggle but I'll endure it for you.
and I find myself really hoping I get to continue down in the stream of sciences and contribute to something for nature and for humanity as well, or at least deepen my understanding of how this universe works and widen my view of how intricate and special this world we live in actually is, how caring it is, how every single thing is worth something, and nothing from nature is ever truly useless
I'll be satisfied as long as I see the Royal Wedding...
But, yeah. Takabayashi-sensei left us with a pretty bad cliffhanger because it makes you too curious and you want to tie all the loose ends. It's sad that she had to scrap such a wonderful ending because, even though it is sad and dark, it was a brilliant idea. And, I was already looking forward to the dark side of MaruMa that T-sensei slowly kept on adding- like the whole Seisakoku arc, the whole Darco arc. And how can we forget that face off between Yuuri and Wolfram! The way their relationship progresses. Conrart's choices and Shinou's interventions.
That cliffhanger just goes to show the complexities of Wolfram's character even more. Yuuri is starting to somewhat merge with his Ue-sama side (sort of? do I remember it correctly?).
Shinou just makes me question whether he is a good guy? or bad guy? or just a psychotic guy cause he stayed in his little dimension for so long? idk. And how will Murata react to Shinou's involvement?
There are so many of these aspects, and I feel that a darker tone to these is more interesting. MaruMa is not just a gag novel. It is a lot more than that. Takabayashi sensei has created a wonderful, mind boggling world with such interesting and unique characters.
It's a shame she had to scrap that idea- a lot of it was also due to the anime using the 'going to Earth' aspect of it, I'm not blaming anyone here(Sensei you don't have to care about those things, please follow what you want!)- but I hope she'd come up with an even better one.
Till then, I have to thank all the people involved for all the 17 vols of the novel, the doujinshis, the short stories, the drama cds and all the other things MaruMa related.
P.S: We need a readaptation of the novels as an anime, and this time more properly. I don't know what people have against Wolf to morph his character to how he is portrayed in the anime- and Yuuri, and everyone else. Their character developments are completely disregarded and just their initial ones are kept.
Anyway, I feel like I talked a lot. This event was truly amazing and I enjoyed it a lot- even though I couldn't contribute much to it.
Let's keep loving MaruMa like this!
