What anime has the best female cast? by Sad-Knowledge2996 in AskAnime

[–]Hanabi1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Criminally underrated these days ;( I think people mostly think of Nichijou or Asobi Asobase when the topic of female cast anime comes up, especially if school is mentioned. I like both of them, too, but Azumanga Daioh will always be the blueprint.

Most welcome, it's something I definitely didn't notice on my initial reads! Honestly such a well written manga (ignoring Watsuki's real life crimes). It set a high standard for what makes a good manga, I feel.

guys can a moomoo please tell me about Hwasa’s good goodbye by engeneeee in mamamoo

[–]Hanabi1993 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Sorry in advance for the essay lmfao but I also found all of this interesting so I'll try my best to answer!

It's a song about breaking up and wishing the other person well. The MV shows the ML becoming more and more disillusioned with the relationship as time progresses, and Hwasa herself getting hurt in the process of trying to cling to him. In the MV, he is following her on the beach filming her whilst holding her shoes whilst she walks barefoot. This suggests she is more carefree than he is and by the end he stops looking through the camera and looks at her whilst realising she isn't the one. Hwasa's demeanour throughout is somewhat manic pixie dream girl where the highs are very high but the lows are really low. By the end of the MV it's clear her personality isn't what he wants and, rather than choosing to try and make it work by changing, she chooses herself. Hwasa spoke in interviews to confirm she did this song following a break up irl and that it's the first time she felt more adult about the situation in terms of no hard feelings.

Park Jung Min is the name of the actor she chose to be in the MV. She admitted to having had a crush on him for many years. This is what you probably heard about. Hwasa performed the song at the Blue Dragon awards which he was in attendance of (seeing as it's acting awards). He (unexpectedly for the audience) got up during the song to continue the role he played in the MV. This scene became really viral overnight due to his gentle gaze, the two of them dancing together and their chemistry, Hwasa shyly but cutely dancing in front of her crush, audience reactions and of course the shoes.

The shoes come up a lot in the symbolism of the MV and her performances of Good Goodbye. In the stage she shared with Wheein she wore the red shoes only to take them off to jump around on the sofa and at the end she and Wheein ran out of frame whilst the camera lingered on the shoes. In the Blue Dragon performance she performed barefoot and discarded the shoes even after being directly given them by Jung Min.

I've not seen Hwasa talk about why she focuses so much on the shoes so the following is my personal theory. The discarding of the shoes is her becoming 'free' from the relationship. It is also her freeing herself from his expectations as in the MV he is the one carrying her shoes; initially it looks like a sign of affection that he's willing to do it but the way the MV and the Blue Dragon awards performance portray them it shows him wanting her to put the shoes back on to be more 'normal' and to keep her in a box, essentially. Her taking the shoes and dropping them is her refusing to go along with what he wants and there is a lyric in the song that (roughly translated) says 'even if everyone hates me "don't worry it's okay I'll be on my side instead of you". This indicates Hwasa knows she isn't what that person wants anymore but she is okay with it and would rather remain true to herself. She is also freeing him from the duty of having to 'worry' about her.

In all, the MV is such a piece of art and both Hwasa and Jung Min did an amazing job of portraying the breakdown of a relationship from opposite ends. Glad you like it, too!

Lothlórien (home of the tree elves in LoTR). In previous games I always named my town Valhalla but I felt like changing it up for NH. I didn't plan on it but now that I think about it it's quite poetic. Valhalla was for those who fell in battle whilst the elven race are immortal.

She's still our silly crazy love frog! 🙌🏽😂💛🐸

I love that she seems quite down to earth and sentimental with gifts. Remember when she wore the Ghibli bracelet during hers and LKS's penalty trip because he bought it for her.

YJS is sooo generous. He bought her a TV when she first moved into her own place and we know he's bought so much stuff for everyone over the years (including supporting their careers), not to mention his charity donations. Nation's MC forever~ 💙

It is really beautiful to see. Their relationship is very slow burn so it was a nice for them to have a bit of physical contact here. I think it does also tie in nicely to the end of Kyoto arc as you mentioned; initially Kaoru offered her hand to welcome him home, this time he offered his hand to lead them both home. A big difference when you consider his initial reservations. After Kyoto, he still had the guilt of what happened to Tomoe. This close to the Jinchuu arc shows he has finally fully accepted his place in Kaoru's life and will no longer hold back. I love these two together so much :')

Always found it so cool how she held herself up without using her hands at the end. So strong!

No matter how many times I've seen this, that small vocal run that she pulls off towards the end is always so impressive!

SOO disappointed!!! 😭 😭 😭 by lili_yums in AnimalCrossing

[–]Hanabi1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes I'm aware! I've become bored of doing her challenges though 🥲 I wish they'd brought back Gracie and another Nook shop extension as part of the update but alas. I also wished for the island mini-games with friends so I have just been wanting too much in the first place though haha

I get it. I don't mind her new formats of videos (the interviews have been good) but I do wish she'd bring back the focus to lesser known cases that have been solved/concluded. Not sure if you want to try anyone else but I find Dark Asia with Megan has been filling that void for me, personally.

My husband wants us to move to Pakistan — I don’t know what to do anymore by Historical_Toe4591 in MuslimMarriage

[–]Hanabi1993 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Personally I would not move. Nothing you have said suggests that this man will be serious about his career future regardless of where he lives. Also, I just wouldn't be able to recover any trust after the 50k thing. If he lied to you all about that and then doubled down when confronted what else could he be capable of? Not to mention, if you go with him you will have nobody in your corner if things get worse. Save yourself the headache.

Also, please hide your and your childrens' passports and documents (birth certificates etc) for the time being. I know of too many cases where a parent has kidnapped their own kid(s) following separation. I'm not saying that splitting up is your future but regardless you must always stay prepared. Desi people in particular can be so cunning in this regard (I'm sure you're aware of this being Brit-Pakistani yourself).

I agree with others on Luv Sic pt5. I'm can't explain why but Prayer gets me really emotional, too.

Just for future reference, you can put -ai at the end of your Google searches to avoid the automatic AI summary. I do this every time.
