looks closer at the .gif
Wait, if that’s just one folder for one character, how many such folders do you have?

Oh, no. That’s a single folder for artwork, but it contains several different characters and fandoms / franchises.

It’s sorted by fandom / franchise first (denoted by brackets), then ship pairing (if applicable), then by artist name, then by date.

e.g. [BD-MR] KalSept 1

  • [BD-MR] = BanG Dream! Franchise, MocaRan Ship
  • KalSept = Artist
  • 1 = Earliest Work

Just call everything an M1 or T-90 like reporters call every gun an AR-15 or AK-47.

Consuming BanG Dream! content way ahead of what’s currently available from EN servers.
Side Note: Learning and understanding other languages is pretty neat! :grin:

Snippets: From「Beginning of springïŒă€Event

Translation Snippet 1 (Rough, Unofficial)

[Haneoka Girls’ High School - Entrance]

Moca: Ran~ Let’s go home together~

Ran: Sure, I don’t mind. 
Oh, where are the others?

Moca: Oh, didn’t you hear? Tsugu is obviously at the student council. Tomo-chin is at her dance club, and Hii-chan said, “I have to do my homework~,” and went home earlier.

Ran: Right.

Moca: Speaking of which, Moca-chan is free~

Ran: And?

Moca: Want to practice in the studio with just the two of us? 
Is my date invitation~

Ran: A date, you say
 You could ask normally, you know. Well, sure.

Moca: Yay~ Then, let’s make a reservation at the studio~ Ahaha, it’ll just be the two of us.

Ran: [Sighs.]

Translation Snippet 2 (Rough, Unofficial)

[Mitake Household - Ran’s Room]

Ran: 
I see.

Ran: This illustrated book is helpful, I think. How to make the most use of space
 I hadn’t thought about this before.

[Phone buzzing.]

Ran: Ah, it’s the group chat.

Tomoe:『Himari, have you thought about what to write for the club activities introductions?』

Himari:『Today I was at cram school and didn’t have time for that~! I’ll do my best tomorrow!』

Moca:『Hii-chan, homework for English is due tomorrow~』

Himari:『Oh, no! Moca, my saviour~~!』

Ran: Crap
 I’d almost forgotten


Tsugumi: 『The student council is finished preparing for the new student club activities introductions event! Himari and Tomoe, let’s do our best!』

Ran: Somehow, everyone feels like a third-year student


Moca:『Oh~ Everyone is busy~ As expected of third-year students!』

Moca: 『Meanwhile, Ran and Moca-chan went on a date today~』

Ran: 
?! What’re you saying, Moca


Ran:『Moca
 Shut up.』

Ran: 
We’re all already third-years, huh


Key Takeaways:
(Continuing on thoughts from last time.)

  • Mentioned in another episode, but Ran and Moca’s afterschool schedules don’t seem to have changed much. Card pic of Ran next to Tsugumi was just her lending the student council a helping hand. Moca helps out as well, from time to time.
  • Also mentioned in another episode, Tomoe’s also taken to working part-time at Galaxy Ramen. She’s passionate about ramen, and has bonded with RAISE A SUILEN’s drummer (Masuki) as a coworker-senpai there, so it seems like a pretty good fit!
  • Club activities introductions were resolved happily.
  • Overall, a very feel-good story / event. I love wholesome Afterglow moments. :grin:

Most importantly.

  • Moca asked Ran on a date and SHE DIDN’T SAY NO.
  • Ran DIDN’T DENY GOING ON A DATE WITH MOCA IN THE GROUP CHAT.

MocaRan shippers are gonna have a field day with this when it reaches the EN servers.

Whyzit so bright at 6 in the morning.
Can we please go back to darkness until 7:00 AM or something, eeeuuuggghhh.

Tangent:
My body clock has now been trained.

Sunday morning is the only day of the week I don’t set alarms for, but my brain / body frequently wakes up at 5:40 AM - 6:00 AM (the time I wake up for workdays), which I find hilarious.

'Tis a’ight, I don’t mind. Waking up earlier means I can dump more hours into gaming and fictional adventures.

Not including Hannibal Rising, since the spirit of the novel seems to directly contradict Hannibal’s character. Could also argue that Hannibal is trash too, since Clarice’s character devolves from a capable and professional action hero into a protagonist’s / antagonist’s shallow romantic interest, Stockholm syndrome-style. Margot seems like an interesting character, though (Yes I will latch on to all the F/F relationships :weary:).

I think this might be my first post here. Excuse the progressively blurrier pictures, I was sweating quite a lot by the end of this.

I went for a jog on a nearby walking trail. I left my car at about 5:39AM.

This was 10 minutes in. I hadn’t thought about how long this walking trail actually was front to back by this point.

This was about 40 minutes in. The trail officially ends right past the school here, but I turned around right before that. I had really realized how long this trail was by this point, but I had decided that I was going to push myself.

10 minutes after that. I knew that I was getting closer to my car by this point, so I was still keeping myself moving.
By the time I got to my car, my legs felt like they had been boiling in some water like they were spaghetti noodles.

But I survived. I might be doing this again next weekend because I’m insane.

Lizard Friend(?)
Scuttled in the middle of the trail, then froze long enough for me to take a pic. :eyes:


Destination 1 - Henninger Flats
Reached this point at around 7:00 AM, but I needed to kill more time.
Why do these stores only open at 9:00 AM. #MorningPeopleProblems :weary:

Spotted an odd plateau / flat area in the distance. Checked the map, and there seemed to be a route there, so I followed it.


Henninger Flats - Mount Wilson Toll Road
Never gone further beyond this point 'til now.


Destination 2 - Odd Flat Area
Odd flat area was actually overgrown with grass. Photo above is a little bit before the grassy area.

Stepped into the grass for a sec, then thought better of it.
I don’t think ticks are very common in Cali, but the thought of being Wendell’d was enough of a deterrent.

Glad I’m not the only one lol. Went to help a friend with one of his newly acquired properties. The grass was super long, it was 87F, and I still wore long sleeves and taped the ankle and wrist openings.

Got to stop and chat with some new-but-not-new people this weekend. :eyes:
They’re regulars, so we see each other often, but I didn’t get their names until this trip.

Er, personal tangible notes so I hopefully don’t forget. Too many names. :sweat_smile:
Ju, Je, Ju, Ni, Sh, Gr, De, Na, Da, Li

Good to know that after 20-ish years, I am still trash at small talk. :rofl:
