The final rankings are in, and here's how it shook out for me:

Anyway, I'll be moving to Sea World with the rest of the whales, see y'all on the other side~

Seriously, nearly being in the top 100 in a JP event is insane. Like. Yeah, MaM isn't the most popular unit by any means, but still. I'm not gonna top this for awhile (largely because I cannot be spending this much money on enstars regularly lmao). Also Kohaku is much more popular, so even if I get as many points in whatever his next center is, I probably won't be as high ranked. So I will hold onto this proudly!!!!

Also, I'm up early because 1) I didn't sleep Sunday night so I made myself stay awake all of Monday so I could actually sleep at regular hour for once, and 2) big enstars announcement stream at 8 am. MELLOW DEAR US is finally being added in game as playable characters, after months of edging us~ I'm so pumped!!!!! I've been intrigued by them ever since they were teased in name only during VS★AUDIENCE nearly two years ago now, so it's exciting that it's all coming together~ Nice Arneb Thunder abandoned them to ES - which seems to be a pattern with him, sorry esupuri - and now they're gonna be part of RhythLin.

hopefully that goes better for them than all the other RhythLin units lmao

ANYWAY. The stream was very good, the new VAs seem to slot right in with enstars vibes already ngl, so it's probs gonna be good things moving forward. They're also the next JP event, which looks sick as hell aesthetically but why is Juis the center for it? He's the leader, so he's managing to debut with three 5 stars while everyone else gets one. Greedy XD I like him and his stupid green hair tho, so I'm not complaining....it's just funny. tbh from the vibes of the MV, Nozomi looks more central, but what do I know?

The other thing occupying my time and attention is the new Pokemon game.........I can't fucking put it down. Pokopia is so good; I just think it's unfair that it's Switch 2 exclusive. I wish Liz and Pat could play with me ;w; Everyone's been enjoying watching me play, but it's definitely the kind of game that's most fun when you can play it yourself. It's like if Animal Crossing and Minecraft had a baby, and the baby was full of Pokemon. Which is to say, addictive as hell.

.....after I finish this entry I'm gonna go play it some more XD My house in the beach area should be done being built!!! It's just really good, okay. It was absolutely worth spending a chunk of my severance pay on a Switch 2 as my birthday present to myself. It's a legitimately good system (better than I expected, ngl), and I just. Look. Pokemon is so good ;w;


OH AND I DID GET KOHAKU'S SECOND FEATURE SCOUT IN ENG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He came home on the first 10 scout ;w; I was so worried that I wouldn't get him, cuz like....his and Madara's FS2s run the same week and I've had two years to save for it and then I blew all my savings on Madara's stupid global exclusive because I hate him. And then I spent $$$ on the JP event, also for Madara, also so he could ruin my life, which means I don't have a lot to spend on scouting right now. BUT KOHAKU LOVES ME. HE'S A GOOD BOY. I can only hope it goes as well when Madara's scout starts on Friday D: Fingers crossed!!!!!
