You don't wanna spam my notifs but my NPD monkey brain sees big number and goes "😈 nice" so feel free to spam them to your heart's content!! LMAO
But heyy hii don't worry I'm also barely using bsky lately!
I saw you DMed me so I'm just gonna reply there to everything you said!

peak. This essay was everything. Chef's kiss
Ten out of ten brought my Hibiki brainrot back singlehandedly, I'm going to download all of season 2 now.
I owe you my life /lh

But seriously this was so cool, hope I got my appreciation across because I adore your work!
Long live the Brilliant Prince

*become* selfish because you internalize what's said about you and begin believing it, until it just becomes true. Obviously we don't have details on this but I can really see it as something that happened to Hibiki
ARGHH I have so many thoughts LMAO!! But I'm not gonna spam them here, but this was/

but that kind of abuse where as a child Hibiki got called spoiled and selfish by their servants actually hits close to NPD as well, at least to my own experience. I pretty much developed NPD *by* being treated as if I had NPD. It's basically internalized, they call you selfish until you actually /

really makes me see how much you like Hibiki and that's so nice. I had to go relisten to their song right after reading. LMAO
When it comes to NPD Hibiki honestly it's just so canon to me LOL, especially the part of them learning this behavior from their childhood is very real. Not to get too TMI /

Reading all your thoughts in detail was soooo much fun and interesting!! I love all your takes on Hibiki so much LMAO it's really bringing me back to the season 2 days

I always saw her whole CelePara thing as a way to *push* PriPara to become better, but out of love for it. She was a fan of Saints after all and looked up to them, I always saw CelePara as her (kind of misguided) way of bringing PriPara idolhood to the same heights as Saints's brilliance /

Regarding when she says she sees everyone as her juniors who are aspiring to reach the same heights as her. My memories are sooo fuzzy because I haven't rewatched the anime in so long (and back when I watched it, there were no subs... only my self taught japanese LOL) but /

YOOO THIS WAS SO GOOD... As a diehard Hibiki stan since the OG days it always makes me so happy to see you liking her as much as me haha
I especially like how deeply you researched her inspirations, and the way you tell her story was like reliving the good old days back when I watched the show /

Bro can't even comprehend getting appreciated by me
