so i have a bunch of stuff that i wanna say so i'm just gonna pack it all into here!! (this is gonna get long, so be warned lmao)

so argonavis anime hit its final episode and i sobbed so loudly omg. banri;;;; pray means so much to me and ep 13 bumped banri up to my best boy bc god how could he not?? banri was initially really just in it for the money but then he ends up loving the rest of argonavis as much, if not more, as the others and i love that abt him and they've become so dear to him and :,,,))) they're just a family of five band boys and it's insane how much they've grown on me, even if i haven't been around since the start. i wanna talk abt ep 12 too bc. nayuta knows now. he knows that yuuto now has the resolve that nayuta knew he didn't have before (which is why he had said those things to yuuto) and that it's with argonavis. nayuta knows that yuuto has grown and recognizes it and i'm just :,) yuuto may have not entirely healed from it but it's getting to a start bc nayuta knows and MAN that hits. i hope we get a complete resolution to this in the game bc i need their character arcs, esp nayuta's!!

and god ofc the desfes nayuren scene. nayuta calling out to ren in the middle of the largest music festival in japan is such a power move and ren jumping off the gate and they REALLY didn't have to make that scene so dramatic but here we are the nayuren stans stay winning lmao. nayuta even gave them the opportunity to perform and to me, it really shows that nayuta does want to see them successful so that he has someone he can see as an equal that he can enjoy competing against and that makes me so happy. i've seen people say they don't like how "gyroaxia is stringing argonavis along" but that's not really how it seems to me. argonavis has talked about how they don't get many opportunities to become big, and although they want to do it themselves as much as possible, they recognize that the boost they get from gyroaxia truly does help them. that's how i see it, a little boost from gyroaxia that they can build up from and become known their own way.

the ending may have felt like a cliffhanger, but, and i'm sure the argonavis fandom has heard this before, it's best to think of ep 12 as the ending to the anime, and then ep 13 as the bridge to aaside. hopefully the story we start out with in the game continues directly from where ep 13 left off bc although banri woke up (THANK GOODNESS), he still has that blood clot in his brain and i really, really hope he's okay kdhjskfk and i wanna see how they progress from this.

sadly no release date for aaside but at least we have a new cover song (kuchizuke diamond)! god both the song and the MV are absolutely gorgeous and REN AND BANRI'S SMILES IN IT AAAGH ;w; and ofc the lowkey nayuren bushiroad keeps pushing lmaooo. sorta feel bad for the staff since they had to decide which line to get rid of, either the chorus line ("i'll place a diamond kiss on your finger") or the "aishiteru" line that was in the original TV size of the song since they knew the nayuren stans would die (including me) but it also doesn't matter bc BOTH ARE MOTIONS dkhskje. also almost feel bad for the nayuren antis too bc man bushiroad's just shoving it down our throats sorry that they love them as much as we do lmao 🙈

the steady goes stream gave us a lot of stuff! desfes SOL is replaying on the 12th, another "we can't go home until ___" stream, this time with reon, nayuta, ren, and yuuto's seiyuus, and a special argonavis live on the 25th! i'm looking forward to those and hopefully everyone else is too!!

alright i think that's all i have to say abt argo for now, time to move on lmao. i've finally gotten into a3 and god natsugumi and itaru have absolutely stolen my heart it's insane lmao. i'm only still on natsugumi's first story but they just are so fun and i love the group of these different individuals and becoming smth so enjoyable to follow. the scene where tenma and yuki start calling each other by their first names and end up getting embarrassed by it???? so adorable they're definitely dating djshjfjf i believe in tenyuki supremacy. ALSO ALSO kazumisu give me super large kenryo vibes in the sense where one has smth a bit peculiar abt them and the other just fully accepts it and it's so adorable i love kazumisu a ton too. chikaita is also one of my favorites despite chikage not being in the EN server yet (😾😾😾) but man the dynamic vibes i'm getting from their fics on ao3 is just mwah they compliment e/o so well and i'm patiently (sorta lmao) waiting for chikage's arrival. sakumasu's really cute too i'm surprised there's not that many ppl who talk abt them!! maybe bc masumi simps too hard for izumi lmaooo (also does anyone find that weird dkhsjdjs?? izumi's like in her, twenties, i'm p sure 24 and masumi's like,,,, 16,,,, bro u got sakuya right there please dksjdjsj)

OKAY i think that's all my thought dump lmao, if u've gotten this far, congrats for having a ton of patience and thanks for reading!!
