Long lost fanfiction writer that stumbled upon a random gacha game and became inspired again. Unapologetic ZZZ lore enthusiast. Old (and I mean old) anime fanfics on Fanfiction.net under Pareathe.
"I needed a pretty boy to make me feel better..." is the most relatable gacha statement. Also Manato's VA is the best menace on this stream, and bless him for playing along with the other VAs (Astra, Grace, and Orphie to be specific.) Also Molly is a screamer, so yeah...

I think I mentioned Rina gets some screentime in the next #Interlude installment. I forgot to mention that Hugo also appears as well.
This is what happens when Hoyo leaves a psycho like me hanging when it comes to backstory. 🫣

This is another one of those days when I thought the music was more a vibe than related to what I'm actually writing. And then a song plays a second time, and I go: Oooooh. Okay, that's what we're doing. Got it.
Also, it's Rina's time to shine. Just sayin.

Okay, so finished the main story update. I'll leave impressions for later, because right now only one thing matters.
*Slight spoiler alert*
It's confirmed that Manato is a legal adult (approximately 19 to be more specific.) Let the fanfiction/fanart/miscellaneous related smut commence.

Of course it's when my younger kid is home for the week that the muses are like, "Oh btw, we're ready to work now!"
Screw the muses for real, but... both kids are sleeping now, so.

Ya'll, the fact that #zzz just dripped an S-rank fire rupture and gave us this trailer for Manato in the same 24 hour period is diabolical work.

The moment I thought the muses insisted on me working on 2 fics at the same time.
Me: I have 2 hands and maybe 2 brain cells to spare right now.

Clearly my muses' impatient asses REFUSE to move until I get at least my final outline for IAF Part 3 out of my brain. Also, I think for Part 3: Our Past, Present, and Forever (working title btw), I may really need a beta reader. If anyone's interested, shoot me a DM. ❤️

Someone wrote a #Lycabelle fic (and is planning a short series) inspired by the It's All Fun series. I've been given way more love than I deserve on my stories, really, but this was one of the greatest compliments of all. I'm completely floored, it's so good!

Well, I can say confidently now that I'm quite happy to not pull on the #zzz 2.2 banner. Time to stockpile for Manato. *cough* I meant Lucia and Yidhari. They're totally the main reason I'll be pulling. 100% 😜

So I have a little time to catch up on stuff in #zzz, and I noticed there was some "talk" (aka bitching) in some spaces about players (like me) that are disappointed about no Manato announcement.
Some players are all about their damn waifus; I'm all about my thirens/male toons. 🤬 Sorry, not sorry.
