I’ve been watching Oshi no Ko weekly too (though I wait til Saturday to watch). I used to like idol anime but this is such an interesting perspective on it and I really like the mystery element of it also.

I’ve been watching Witch from Mercury too, though I am behind and still working through the first half. I really enjoy it and picking out the little parallels to Revolutionary Girl Utena (even if I don’t think the parallels go that deep).
I love collecting the poes too. I think the scary part for me is worrying I am about to walk right into some of the gloom goo, so I stay stocked up on brightbloom seeds.
A story from when I was a little kid.
Back in the day, my Dad liked to go to the horse racing track to do a little betting, and he would bring myself and my brothers along. You know, give our Mom some peace and quiet for a little bit. This also meant that us kids would be able to get some concession stand snacks, like nachos. This was a big deal to us kids. Anyway, one Saturday as we were leaving the race track, some lady came to my Dad and said “Oh how sweet of you to take your grand-kids to the track with you!”. My parents had us a little later in life, so he could have reasonably been someone’s grandfather at that point. My brothers and I, being little shits, chimed in with “Yes Grandpa, thanks so much! This was fun, we love nachos!”. I don’t remember if he corrected the lady, but it was a funny story we continued to tell for years and years.
