This is me after a week or so. UWHSWU I TOTALLY DID NOT FORGET BUT A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENED. Yeah I forgot what I needed to say
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
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
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
『HIGH CARD』 season 2 ピクチャーオーディオドラマ - Playlist
Illustrator and character designer: Ebimo
SPOILERS FOR HIGH CARD.
THAT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL FOR MEOH GOSH
ig i was right with flann dying, although the end sequence wants to imply that it's not confirmed so that's one thing, and it kinda seems to me that there will be a season3 based on the fact that everything is technically in shambles still and i read from somewhere that a lot of the cards haven't been found yet although i wouldn't trust my judgement. I said something like "i don't want flann to die bcs chris' plot is all about saving his sister s why should finn kill his brother" i meant that in a sense that if finn doesn'tt rlly care that he has to kill his brother and so the way the anime went with the shooting was great for me.
i especially love the scene where bernard said "Tilt- no, Flann Oldman." it's a really good scene. And Flann and Burst's tombstone:(( its a shame that they died without truly resolving their problems "together as family" is what's written( ithink ) I rlly think flann is dead bcs of this, because he's already with Burst and that really looks like a good enough ending for me. But as to reasons why he's probably alive well,
first is bcs its "uncomfirmed" that he died, bernard pointed that out. second is probably because he walked with Lala Valdenklein in the end, and we all know that Lala isn't exactly dead he just doesn't have a physical body all the time but he's still there.
I also genuinely hope that they let Finn hold on to San Galgano, at least for a while. It's also \crazy how much Flann really loved Finn, Finn wanted a card and Flann gave him a real one, although it was the reason for their separation the sentiment was good nonetheless
what saddens me though is what the royal family did, blaming it on the klondikes again. I get why they would do that but to claim that Ban Klondike died there is crazy to me because that is so terrible. It's hiding the fact that he died somewhere they're trying to hide.
Overall this show was awesome and cool, there were a few scenes that made me want to see more bcs they felt lacking but the main plot was incredible. im srsly hoping for season 3
imagine if they didn't pull that sword out of Bram in time and then Fyodor got reincarnated as a lollipop stick
I love the characters of this show, they're so pure with their own faults. I really want to see more plot building with it and gosh the random musical part. It's sad for me that Ageha didn't get the role of Alexis' shadow since he always wanted it but i guess its fine now that he's not running after Tsukigami. I'm also very happy for Hoshitani since he'll get to perform alongside his idol which he has dreamt about a lot. Nayuki and Ugawa's friendship is so cool for me too short besties squad yay. and the BL bait oh dear why do they do this.
Misono cries and it's done
do you think we won't notice the running theme? do you think tanaka strike will make an exception of you two? get real
