I've loved the decreased heart rate and running cooler overall, but ugh, my metabolism has not changed at all! Like, I'm happy I can keep enjoying food, but I'd love to be a bit more soft and fluffy ๐ my skin though, omg it's just amazingly soft now!!

You're remembering right (or we're both remembering wrong ๐คญ)! The final after credits scene implied that the two main characters were reincarnated, and as they were passing each other in a crowd on the street, something compelled the MC to reach out and stop Angel, reuniting them in their new lives ๐ฉท I think it was unclear if he fully remembered everything that happened, but it was the bittersweet, made me cry even harder, scene that we needed ๐ญ

It pretty much takes place in a limbo/purgatory. Children who die without finding peace or have unresolved emotions end up there. The story slowly reveals this and explores each characters' reasons for ending up there - often confronting their death and untangling the things which kept them from moving on. Time itself is kind of nebulous there; two of the main characters, one who starts as a sort of antagonist and the protagonist, are kind of tied together by fate with the protag being a heart donor to the antagonist. The protagonist died before and his heart was given to her, but somehow she ended up there before him even though she lived a full life (if I'm remembering right) l. It's honestly a super beautiful story, and I think one of my favorite parts is the ending song/mv which plays at the end up each episode- it features every character, and as they move on during the series their spot in the ED is just blank with the final episode ending without any of them.
Just to add more options to this image- I've also enjoyed The Moon on a Rainy Night, A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow, Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon, Whisper Me a Love Song, and currently reading through I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl and How Do We Relationship. Also kind of liked Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl (the premise is not really it for me, but I did like it for the most part)
Your Lie in April and Angel Beats! both crushed me ๐ญ
Personally, my desire pretty much disappeared... sometimes it super bothers me, especially since I know things need to stay engaged down there if I ever opt for certain surgeries. It's not bothersome enough that I've seriously brought it up with my doctor, but I did ask to be prescribed progesterone to help as I've seen many anecdotes about it increasing sex drive and desire....zero change so far. I'd say it's pretty nice for the most part as there's this edge which is no longer there, buuuut I do sometimes miss actually feeling that type of desire. I have read that it just randomly returns eventually, so just doing my best to enjoy whatever this is for now ๐คญ
That's super true! I've been renting for so long that it's one of those conveniences that I love having, but I can get by totally okay without one (currently don't have one). Growing up, chores were just normal things, but I meant so many people who never had to do them, and they had a lot of household experiences to gain later in life!
A long time ago, as I was getting ready to get dinner with a friend. I asked her if she could start my dishwasher. It was all loaded and just needed the detergent which was under the sink...well, we got back and the kitchen was flooded and filled with suds and bubbles. Turned out she used the dish soap next to the sink instead of the detergent. Cleaned it up, laughed, and was reminded of the different experiences we all have from people who grow up in more wealthy households.
Recently...they've kind of just adopted me. I'm incredibly shy, but I had been going to a little local coffee shop (just to get out of the house) and always tried to be kind and engage with the people working there when they would talk with me. I had a few really emotional weeks, and one of the owners picked up on it. She handed me a note with her number, and let me know I could always talk with her. She ended up inviting me to a little Halloween pumpkin painting night with some of her friends, and I connected with them super well! Now they invite me out to little activities, food, movie nights, etc.
That's kind of how I've meant most of the friends I've had- be kind, be interested, and be present! People get more comfortable the more they see you around, so even if you're a little shy or awkward, someone might extend a hand and bring you into their circle.
๐ I had the ending to my favorite anime/manga series spoiled recently here on Lemmy. It was really disappointing all around. Same thing- just appeared on all with no spoiler tags or markup.
There's so many today ๐คญ
Absolutely giggling that there's an organization for this, but I'm happy to see it. I'm not unfamiliar with these devices, and it's always in the back of my mind that the makers probably aren't prioritizing security and potential vulnerabilities. Literally, everything these days wants you to use an app or connect to your network ๐
