THE WAY BURST LOOKED AT FINN BRO
It's like they're serving it on a silver platter. IT'S LITERALLY THERE (or I might just be delusional)
Maybe it's bcs matpat leaves today😔😔😔
I'm probably gonna make 2 posts abt this book bcs I love it sm. this first one won't focus on the romance and more of like- the surroundings, specially Hazel's favorite book, AIA. I read the book at school so yeah that embarassed me bcs I was crying when the teacher came in.
Before I dive into AIA, I want to really talk about the surroundings of the book, the other people yk, aside from Augustus and Hazel. The book, aside from the romance, shows how people respond to other people with cancer, I mean, how they manage it. We see it with Hazel's mother and father, with Augustus' family as well as Monica(Isaac's ex). They all responded differently to their loved one's having cancer, and they treat it differently too. But I won't focus on that, I want to focus on how it affects them, and apply it to real life situations. The book doesn't really hide the fact that everyone around them feels bad for them, and that their parents are sad about it. And it's a good detail because the book is a romance book, but it deals so much with the "losing someone" concept. I love how you feel butterflies in your stomach yet heartwrecking pain at the same time. because the sadness in it, the way Hazel just accepted her fate, the way Augustus accepted his, and Isaac too. They never had hope from the start but their families and the people around them did. It's easy to have hope when you're not the one struggling.
But thats the thing. Hazel accepted her fate easily. but Augustus? She could not.
In Augustus' story, Hazel is part of the other people. She's his collateral damage. Hazel feared being the time bomb for Augustus but it turns out Augustus was the real one.
Its devastating to read the parts where Augustus was slowly succumbing to his cancer. Because the chapters were suddenly so short, Every time I flipped the book I got scared bcs it chapter got faster and faster. shorter and shorter. Then the devastating "Augustus Waters died"
Everyone was affected by Augustus' conditiion, everyone was collateral damage, their emotions were side effects. MAN I CAN'T DO THIS RN IM CRYING ILL POST AGAIN SOME OTHER DAY
I ALWAYS FORGET TO POST THIS WHEN I GO HOME BUT ANYWAYS I WANTED TO ADD TO THE OTHER POST HOW MUCH I LOVED THE KAO COUNCIL SONGS
Like for every new Kao Council they have that theme song where they have their own beginnings until the chorus part where they're like "satisfy!"
and there are actually like cool details about it. I mean idk if its just me but the Ancient Kao Kai song and the Hiiragi Kao Kai song was similar yk? that same tone, only different lyrics and the dance for Hiiragi's Kao Kai was honestly on top for me better than any other fr. I wanted to talk about how the New Kao Kai/ Shiki's Kao Kai like- really changed. In the beginning of the song I didn't even notice that it was Kao Kai song, which kinda hinted at the change they wanted to do for the school. And ofc I can't forget my favorite one, the Finale Kao Kai where everyone literally like- from 4 members to 5 members to 5 members to 14 Kao Kai Members.
That was the best for me because its probably the one that changed the most, which really proved Shiki's last line being "A new generation" AND OH GOSH THE ENDING TOO "let's have fun." - Yuta Hoshitani. ALL IT NEEDED WAS "boys" AND IT'D BE SO LIKE OTORI.
and well speaking of Otori, Their version of the Kao Kai song was like- the basic one. Specially since they didn't have anything before "satisfy" unlike the other ones, which ig was (this is me overthinking) showing how they're traditional, no changes, no additions necessary that could harm the Ayanagi Brand. That's All Thank You for coming to my pep talk<3 ssn 4 pls
I think it's a callback to Sullivan and Amduscias! how the two of them had different ways of coping when the Delkira disappeared. with Sullivan waiting and amduscias helping the other side to get delkira back! this is cuter cuz it's like they're breaking the cycle.
okay we all love the love trio, But you guys saw the foreshadowing too right?
This is very cute but its also clearly foreshadowing iruma getting deported
A face off between two brothers, not biological, but have come to accept each other as if they were just that.
The thunders roared, and the rain poured hard. It was as if Celestia had known this was to happen, and that they'd watch as a sinner from the land that they once destroyed, go through the suffering of losing everything all over again.
"You...you traitor." The once smiling boy, this time, he spoke with disgust laced in his voice. He was speaking without thought, he was at his breaking point. He couldn't stop himself.
The navy-haired boy couldn't give an answer, he refused to. He knew this was to happen if he told him, but maybe he wanted it too.
To know what would happen, to hear what his brother would say.
"Who are you, Kaeya?"
A strong flash of blue engulfed the boys. And there fell a vision onto the sinner's hand. Ironic.
Seemingly filled with rage, His older brother walked away. Not sparing even a glance at the boy.
"Hey, Master Diluc, care to give this young bard a few bottles?" Venti nudged the man in front of him.
The man groaned, "I swear, one day we're gonna go bankrupt because of the free wine I give you."
Just then, a laugh came from the door. "Come now, Diluc, no need to be so harsh on the bard. If you're worried, I can pay for his tab tonight.
"Captain Kaeya, how very nice of you! I'll be sure to dedicate a very special song for you!" The bard joyfully stated.
"Do whatever you please, I'll be going now. Charles, can you take over?"
As Diluc walked out, silence engulfed the bard and the captain.
A few minutes later, they both have drinks in their hand. The bard who looks drunk, and the captain who very clearly is intoxicated.
"I remember, when...we were young, Diluc and I would be running around the grape farm, he'd smile so brightly at me...he'd smile because we were having fun... because we were brothers..." The captain spoke through a smile while his hand was holding his chin up.
The bard lightly smiled at him in pity.
"If only...if only I hadn't told him that day..." The captain sobbed. There were no more people in the tavern, only the bard and the captain. The god and the sinner.
"Maybe...I wouldn't have this." He held his vision, and threw it across the room.
It's blue glow serving as a light in the dark area. The god of freedom stared at it.
A cryo vision, representing it's master's feeling of estrangement, not belonging. A misfit.
Maybe it was because he was not from the land of freedom, that he had been granted of this. The god sighed.
It was unlikely. The reason it manifested at that day, that time.
It wasn't because he had felt separated from the people of Mondstadt. It was because he knew, the moment his brother decided to walk away from him. There was nowhere for him to go to anymore. There was no place he wanted to go to, that would accept him anymore.

ok wow i loved it. LIKE WOW the opening gave idolish 7 vibes, but then the school reminds me of yumenosaki and the kao council is like Ouran boys i love every bit of it. i was curious tho like WHY DID THEY SING SUDDENLY???? I WAS SO SURPRISED and im so happy for their team i feel like they're the underachiever team which reminds me weirdly of enstars with alkaloid but nonetheless, setting the weird comparisons aside the first episode was rlly cute and kinda light for me so im very excited abt it moving forward. AND NATSUKI HANAE IS THERE SO WOWW
They say, when you're looking for assistance
It's smart to pick the path of least resistance.
Others say, that in your needy hour
There's no substitute for pure ANGELIC POWER!
