#this came to me after reading arslan senki

[huntressofthesea]

I think I've figured out what makes an ideal "hero's party"

~ the hero; calls the shots, generally a sort of "everyman" character, usually the heir to a throne, often acts as the moral compass ~ the strategist; usually has a back story where they worked in the royal court ~ the knight; literally a one-man army & always the first to be loyal to the hero and often the MOST loyal ~ the musician; quite flirtatious with everyone, silvertongued, yet still astoundingly good in a fight ~ the badass woman; a beautiful woman who is about equal with the knight in fighting prowess, and turns down all affections and flirtations as a matter of course ~ the thief; can be merged into other roles, this person is all about money and fame ~ the cook; AKA the one who keeps everyone else alive, they manage meals and fix their injured party members, can also be the moral compass and/or voice of reason

*this is just my own opinion **all characters can be any gender, except for the badass woman, and this is because most parties are overwhelmingly male and is to ensure a female character exists - if rest of the cast is female, then flip to male

Arslan Senki review (up to current ch. 103)

Omg this manga is just as good as the anime! I was surprised on how much that was left out and changed.

A significant part they left out was the fight with the Turanians, which occurred right before King Andragoras came to Peshawar Fortress. Other than lack of funds cause the second season was 8 eps, I don't see why they didn't include it. Also, King Andragoras is soo unhinged bro like he hates Arslan or something? Like he's afraid Arslan will take the throne?? In any case, he needs to chill LMAO. I wish we'd get to the secrets of Arslan's history!! They've been hinting at it for SO long, I need to know now lol.

Hilmes honestly grew on me reading the manga, and he legit does have reason to overthrow Pars. Obviosly, he kinda went about it wrong but I hope he and Arslan can be friends or become civil with one another. The subplot with his snake buddies is really interesting, can't wait to see it all come to light. OMG the scene where he left Maryam without telling Irina but left flowers (probs zelias, the flowers when they first met) in her room, I can'tttt. And damn, he's lowkey the reason Lustanian's destroyed Maryam.

With Hilmes and Irina, I'm glad we got more scenes with them. The fact that he legit dropped everything and called for the troops to Ecbatana when he heard what Guiscard was gonna do to Irina!!! Like, we all knew when y’all crossed paths a few chapters ago that you knew her. And the way that he always has a scowl on his face except for this moment with Irina, very precious indeed.

Daryun is amazing, that goes without saying, but his loyalty to Arslan is top tier. He's like Hak where Daryun is notorious on the battlefield, people literally sh*t their pants when they seem him LOL. Also, here's an excuse for me to include a panel of Daryun❤️

The ragtag team Arlsan has is very wholesome. The bickering between Elam and Alfried, Gieve flirting with Farangis, Narsus being a literal GOAT, the list goes on. I also love Jaswant’s addition to the group too, he's amazing.

I touched on Etoile on my other review but wanted to add that it’s crazy that Etoile realizes that her enemies are treating her better than the Lustanians. Yet she is continuously trying to cover that up because I don’t think she wants to admit the atrocities her people have done, despite their excuse of it being for their God.

I feel like I could go on about how much I adore Arslan. He is so sweet and gentle. He definitely has improved since the beginning as he can hold up his own. I do feel at times he is a bit too lenient with his punishments, like with Rajendra and freakin' Shaghad bro. In the manga, Shaghad is wayyy worse imo and was literally spouting threats to Arslan to his face after his sentencing. Glad Daryun rocked his sh*t though. Arslan has a pure heart, period!! Look at the lil guy!!

Very sad I’ll have to (probably) wait monthly for each chapter!

[mirios-eyes-are-beautiful]

aa So I just woke up to this?

I’m just.. speechless? I can’t believe this actually happened, so thank you all for the last few months, for every like, reblog and comment. It’s been such a pleasure to interact with you and scream about Mirio and The Big Three<3 I hope 2019 won’t bring us too many tears (spoiler: it will.) and we can all laugh about their shenanigans again (spoiler: we won’t.). This blog came alive with crazy good fanart, hilarious memes and sweet headcanons, sprinkled with my neverending affection towards Mirio, so kudos go out to the amazing artists and writers that create the content we love<3 Thank you for over 1k followers and I hope to see the family of mirihoes grow in the progressing year! I’ve received a lot of questions for my milestone special and I only picked out a few, but if you want more of these, let me know! Now let’s dive right into the Q&A!

Heey~ I’m a huge Bnha fan and I love this blog, keep up the great work!! \(^-^)/ I’d love to know how old you are, if that’s not too personal of a question?

Not at all! I’m actually 20 y/o and my Birthday is in June, also my zodiac is Gemini👭

What do you do for a living?

I’m a university student in my second year! I’m majoring in Linguistics and my minor is English Literature and Culture. Though before, I did a year of Environmental Sciences, but it just wasn’t my cup of tea so I quit🤷‍♀️ I’m also part timing at a boutique.

Hello! I check your blog everyday and I can’t with all your reactions, they’re almost always the same as mine:D Which state (USA) are you from and what languages do you speak?

Lol, do I really sound American?:D I’m actually from Germany, so German is my mother tongue! Other than that, I consider myself pretty fluent in English (your assumption of me being a native speaker flatters me so much, you have no idea) and I guess my French is decent. I can order food and ask for directions in Spanish (ayyyy) and studied Hindi for two semesters at Uni. Also I’m currently learning Japanese for my degree in Linguistics.

Do you have a favorite anime show? Other than My hero academia of course!

My all time favorite anime is definitely Arslan Senki! Besides that, I also love Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Assassination Classroom, Durarara, Hunter x Hunter and pretty much every existing sports anime (Haikyuu, Kuroko no Basuke, Daiya no Ace, Free!, Yowapedal, Yuri on Ice, Prince of Tennis,.. although Haikyuu is my favorite) I enjoy most genres as long as the plot and characters appeal to me.

Do you read any manga? (also LOVE YOUR BLOG!!<3)

Yeah! I really love manga and I’ve read tons of shoujo when I was younger (I bingeread every night in middle school tbh) Nowadays though, not so much anymore.. It’s not that I came to hate it, I just don’t have as much time unfortunately-.-’ I do read the new Bnha and Haikyuu chapters on a weekly basis, but I can’t manage more than that. I also read yaoi/shounen-ai manga and doujinshi from time to time, but it’s not as much of an obsession as it was a few years ago. However, I own a couple of manga series (Bnha, Haikyuu, Arslan Senki), which I love to reread in my free time😊

hey, we share a love for mirio, so do you maybe have a few anime recommendations, or any good anime you’re watching now?

uhuhuhu birds of a feather flock together;))) Of course I can dish out some recommendations, but I’ll start with what I’m watching atm. I started rewatching Daiya no Ace not so long ago (due to the announcement of Season 4) so I sometimes watch a few episodes of that when I find the time. Also, and this is a recommendation as well, there’s this new track and field anime called Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru (Run with the Wind) coming out every Friday and it’s hilarious. If you like sports anime, you should definitely give it a go! The last anime I’m rewatching right now is Sukitte Ii na yo (Say I love you), cause I’ve been in a shoujo mood lately and after several years I still can’t deal with the cuteness of this show. Now for recs.. this is hard, since everyone has a different taste in series, but other than the shows I’ve named in the “Favorite anime” question, I’d recommend Wotakoi (Wotaku ga Koi no Muzukashii). It’s a very sweet anime about the love stories of otakus, so if you like a good laugh and lots of fluff, this show is for you (11eps). Same goes for Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (12eps + 6 short specials). Shounen-wise I enjoyed for example Noragami, Bleach, Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Magi. Shoujo-wise I can always rewatch Toradora, Kimi ni Todoke and Itazura na Kiss. Sorry for rambling, there are just too many!😅

What pronouns do you use? And what’s you sexual orientation? If the latter question is too personal, just ignore it(/ω＼)

No worries! I use she/her pronouns and I’m pan, slightly favoring men. Probably due to the fact that I’ve only had hetero relationships so far. Though, I really don’t care about my partner’s gender🤷‍♀️

hi, i’ve been going through a rough time lately and your reblogs and memes never fail to make my day. how so you stay positive when things are going downhill? (sorry for the weird ask..)

Your question isn’t weird at all! I’m sorry to hear that you don’t feel well lately and I’m glad my posts are able to cheer you up a bit<3 I, for my part, am a very optimistic person and always try to concentrate on the positive things in my life, but I cannot deny that due to my personal problems I’ve spent many nights sleepless as well. Unfortunately, there’s no recipe for happiness, but here are some things you should always keep in mind should you feel down: Don’t surround yourself with toxic people. Don’t let them in your life and if they already are, either ignore them or cut them off. The latter won’t always work, since the world of adulthood is a cruel place, but try to develop a thick skin and don’t let them abuse the power over you that they don’t actually have. Try to talk with people. I can tell from experience that talking about your problems will almost always make you feel better, or at least lighter afterwards. Think positive. There’s never only black and white, so even if everything seems hopeless or bland, you should never cease to search for the good aspects. An example from me: Uni fucks me up real bad atm. I have six exams and one term paper to write this semester and I’m seriously afraid of failing. I’ve always had insane expectations of myself, because when I was a toddler, my parents found out that I was highly talented and that has been a as much of a curse as it is a blessing throughout my entire life. Whenever something gets too much for me and I end up in a slump, I think about how grateful I am to have so many wonderful friends. I think of all the things I plan to do with the money I earn, such as travelling, buying manga, movies, clothes,.. and even if that might not seem like a trivial matter for some people, I think of all the amazing anime coming out this year: Ice Adolescence, One Punch Man Season 2, Attack on Titan Season 3, Fruits Basket remake, Bnha Season 4, Haikyuu Season 4, Daiya no Ace Season 3.. Why am I naming these? Because they keep me going. They give me something to look forward to. They make me realize that I’m extremely grateful to be alive, because I get to experience these works. I get to discuss my favorite shows with people, who share my interests! I get to scream about Mirio’s bara arms with you guys! If that isn’t something to be cheerful about, I don’t know what is<3

And since I don’t want to end this on a solemn note, here’s a personal favorite of mine:

On a scale from 1-10, how much do you love Mirio?^^

1.000.000 (A million, you get it? wink wonk) Thanks for sticking around! Hope this gave you a little insight on who I am and I’d love to spend 2019 with you as well<3
