• ahh, given movie is coming out soon!!

[SPOILER ALERT]

I know that the movie was about AkiHaru and Ugetsu, but I just want to point out these character developments on Mafuyu:

- he has achieved “personal closure” after writing and performing their first song

- he is more expressive of how he feels; he even mentioned to Uenoyama that he felt scared before their next performance

- he became more aware of how the people around him feel. he noticed how Haruki felt towards Akihiko

- he actually reached out to listen, because he felt that Ugetsu needed someone whom he can talk to, since Akihiko has been gone

- he’s no longer just singing for himself. he is now using his music to help the people around him figure things out

- and I personally think that he is putting in effort to get closer to Uenoyama, but the virgin boi just wants to take it slow

My point is; Mafuyu is more than just his talent, and his character development proves that ❤

This is why I have been MIA; and I feel like you all deserve an explanation, you all supported my blog so generouly. I will return, but since the beginning of the year; I have been suffering depression over the state of human rights, health issues, and financial set backs. I lost my computer, which makes it extremely difficult to blog.

Share my belated birthday gift with me (that’s what I’m calling this->)

Unboxing Given Live Stage Production Items while discussing women’s rights:

We can’t change things if we don’t speak out loud and ask questions. (Im not great with political terminology so please anyone correct me if I use an incorrect term) We have a majority bipartisan Government of Democrat or Republican. On a scale of far left, to far right; our Democratic party rn falls significantly right from center. Our Republican party falls almost full far right; flirting with fascist ideals. Left = non capitalistic/ Right = Capitalism. Its so much more than capitalism though, because of seperation of Church and State. Because Capitalist values have been so over shot to the far right of the scale, and we are unbalanced by authorities with biased and conservative religious views, our highest court; The US Supreme Court is now biased and unbalanced. We are supposed to first and foremost have separation of Church and state. This goes directly back to the foundation of our separation from England. Certain human rights laws are supposed to be “settled” law, essentially meaning, they have been “tested” over and over and found to be laws in good standing, wether or not they independently appear in our Constitution. Laws like the right to an abortion, the right to decline to participate in religious ceremonies or adhere to regions views, in state sponsored environments, the right to equal medical care regardless of race sex gender class or creed.

Common sense things like an intersex or male bodied person has equal right to an abortion, as would a female bodied person. The right to birth control or personally initiated sterilization. An unwed or poor mother has an equal right to reproductive health care (pre or post). Queerness but particularly homosexuality (due to the wording of the legal definition) is infact a legal human right to the pursuit of happiness, regardless of gender expression or biological/ physiology or marriage rights. POC have equal access to reproductive health care and autonomy, without coeersion or state sponsored interference (ie disproportionate encouraging of sterilization) Yes this was a problem up until the 60s, and in some states into the 70s. Stimulus were given to wed white mothers, while ethnic mothers were disproportionately encouraged to undergo sterilization in order to receive benefits like Healthcare, childcare, educational support, and food stability from the government. Or the one that ties it all together; you cannot use or express religious views as a means to exert authority over another person, in a state sponsored environment. Ie you can’t make little Johnny say a prayer with the coach, or fear getting kicked off the football team.

Our Supreme Court had a draft, called an “opinion” leaked, a few days ago showing that they are set to overturn abortion rights, next month. The thing about “opinion drafts” is that they are informally written; almost like reading a transcript of the whole conversation between the judges. The draft clearly shows not only religious bias, but that the judges are now just creating and stripping laws; based on simply how they personally feel concerning a law. You can imagine; basically the highest court in the land is making decisions off whatever the hell they personally think. On top of that; many of these judges were recommended by Trump during his stay, and these people share eugenic ideological views that are racist and misogynistic; going back to AIFR propaganda. Ie the standards ingrained so deeply in our country, through colonial mindsets that ‘only “fit” persons should procreate, and that this is how American ECONOMIC values thrive.’ Which of course is insane and affects every citizen, yet is how this is so prevalent in far right capitalistic values. Even our Democratic party is now right leaning. This is also why age of consent laws are so important and are now at risk, and their undoing disproproportionaly benefitting heterosexual men concerning women’s rights/marriage. Which hypocritically undermines Seperation of Church and State through far right Christian majority, family planning fundamentals.

It’s not a matter of if one personally or religiously supports making abortions illegal; it’s that it’s directly tied to religious doctrine, meaning they’re supporting it as falling under the scope of Constitutional rights, but its blatantly coming from personal religious views. This is a gross abuse of twisting the Constitution. The judges in the opinion draft are recorded as stating that the Constitution itself never addressed abortion, so one can’t create laws concerning supporting abortion. (Then in the same breath, duscussing taking steps to create restrictions, AGAINST this right, which is obvious hypocracy)That’s why the laws are settled laws! The Constitution was written in a completely different American society than modern day. The judges know this, but they are twisting the purposeful function of our Constitution and Bill of Rights, to learn and grow with the people, to suit their personal opinions. The majority of US citizens do not support what they are planning on doing; I think at last count it was almost 70% but they are moving forward anyways, which is an outright breech of the Judges’ function as servants in a democracy.

Its so intertwined with women’s rights; it’s not just abortion legalities that would almost instantly unravel. Upfront; women would no longer be able to aquire reproductive health care unless it favored pregnancy potential. This then affects even persons who could potentially have future pregnancies, who say want to have hysterectomies, or be on birth control. And further brings into play, if the State has the right to deem if it is medically necessary, which circles back to religious and personal views, and seperating Church and State. Yet our Healthcare system is privatized…..so again the hypocracy. Theres an abundance of conflict of interest as many of these law markers have stock in pharmaceutical and medical companies. Controlling women’s rights, particularly the institutions of marriage and pregnancy, creates revenues for them. This obviously affects restrictions on what does or does not constitute legal birth control. Which affects male bodied and intersex person’s autonomy; if they do or do not wish to retain the ability to become pregnant. It expressly affects what constitutes rape. Specifically between a married man and woman. Whatever they now declare IS a man or woman. People forget, it was legal in the states, up until a little over a generation ago; for a man to commit non consensual acts against his legal wife. This immediately not only affects female bodied citizens, but the laws tied to these settled laws, are also tied to laws that make homosexuality legal. Specifically addressing by legal term; the act of sodomy, same sex marriage, and even cohabitation. It by default impacts queer people in general, mostly intersex non binary and trans persons. If the court strips these settled laws; it throws us into legal regression immediately concerning what determines sex and gender.

So just being outside of a binary legal definition of sex or gender, technically would make it illegal to express yourself or even live in your own home as a person outside of that legal definition. Even teaching your children sex, gender, and body positivity, has already been stripped in several states since the beginning of the year. One woman on state level was already charged with murder, for obtaining an abortion, but fortunately on the federal level; it was over ruled. What is happening right now, means it would not have been over ruled and she would be sitting in prison on a felony. Several parents across the country have already had their children removed from their care, and are facing felony charges for seeking gender affirming medical care for their children. If these settled laws are over turned next month; their charges would be valid. They are currently in court and the State in at least one case; appears to be stalling, as if hoping to see these human rights regress, so they can move forward with the charges. Other cases have been dismissed; as the laws still currently protect the defendants.

Right now, people are focused on oh my god; they can’t just overturn abortion rights. They’re only just beginning to get a glimpse of everything else it over turns or places such tight restrictions on, it might aswell be over turned. These laws aswell are also connected to separation of church and state. It has already begun to strip transgender health care, our freedom of speech to use words that are indicative of sexuality and gender out side of a designated binary, within a state sponsored environment such as a government institution or a school. The human right to just exist as a trans (umbrella) person in such an environment. Infact last week a Republican Representative openly questioned on the floor, wether or not a fellow representative who is known to be transgender, even had the right to use the bathroom at all within the government building, because that is indirectly expression of gendered terminology. Ie it says male or female on the bathroom doors. They were alluding to questioning the technical legality of wether or not this person could exist as transgender within the building. Ie can transgender persons legally function as government officials. It’s overgeneralization is focused on the hot take of bathroom laws, which is blatant misogyny, affecting almost always feminine males and trans women; but it immediately affects so much more. Right now another case is in the court, concerning a football coach and his right to lead students in prayer, at school (ie state) sponsored games. The laws that are being returned and likely to be overturned, include wording allowing for coercion. Meaning an authority figure such as a teacher in a State sponsored school could soon have the legal right to require or at least coerce their students to participate in religious acts, and be subjected to their own religious personal views. This then affects views on gender, genderoles, sexuality, and marriage.

Recognizing how dangerous a turning point this is, is not an attack on religion. It’s not an attack on one’s personal beliefs. It’s that these laws are in place, or are “settled” through “test” to create inclusion and equality through seperating Church from State/capitalism from personal views against the acutal majority vote. The bias comes from people in positions of authority clearly using their collective religious or personal views (obviously monetarily driven through far right capitalism) to hypocritically NOT do their jobs. If the law was functioning correctly, these authorities would be evaluated as to wether or not they are even fit to perform their duties, due to what is now absolutely (per the leak) clear conflict of interest and abuse of power. Yet because they are judges in the Supreme Court; no one really has the power to stop them. Stripping women’s rights, then strips everyones human rights by default, and restricts/regresses LGBTQIA+ rights, and again by default unhinges the Seperation of Church and State. It would very quickly make marital rape potentially legal, gay panic defense indisputable, intersex existence LEGALLY unacknowledged, same sex or gender non conforming marriage up for debate based on a legal definition of gender, male homosexual sex illegal, forced pregnancy legal, denial of equal rights to reproductive health care, and all of that is a round about way of making cis women and AFABs second class citizens. It’s not even a wonder why these people are so concerned about transgender women being able to use public women’s restrooms but not transgender men, or keeping legal authority over female bodied persons being able to become pregnant.

This is 100% Given related. If you consume BL or enjoy stories like Given that are not tropes but realistically depict our narratives as men outside of the made up cis/het binary; *looking right at Haruki* you must remember the irl population it involves. Protecting women’s autonomy is all human rights, and violations of those rights, entirely impact the irl people these stories portray. What’s happening in the US is that our highest officials are knowingly PURPOSELY committing unconstitutional crimes against women and female bodied persons and everyone inbetween to push their views on family planning, to exalt their status as cis het men and control the economy for their own personal gain. It’s not even a woke thot after this leak. The biggest test of proof is property value and ownership rn in the US. They are absolutely trying to put us all back into the 50s and white/straight wash the Cival Rights movement. These men were highschool and college students in the 50s; they’re seeking to force the future they were promised by the racist and sexist government of their youths. Another point that hasn’t really hit most people yet; is that these settled laws being in place, are not only to protect against sexism and classism, but indirectly ALSO affect xenophobia, racism, red redlining, the right for all religious expression, discrimination and hate crimes. Soooo the guys in Given could irl be criminals, institutionalized and lobodimized, in the near American future these judges seek. Ristuka’s sister, Haruki’s sister would immediately be questioned for their association, as “fit women”. This is not at all far fetched. This is why abortion laws have been soooo precious to us all; they affect EVERYTHING if they come undone. It’s not actually about abortion; that’s just the main law they’re using to restrict all of the above, as LGBTQIA+ and marriage equality *for cis het women too* is directly tied together through seperation of Church and State, and Healthcare.

I’m an extremely genderfluid and usually more feminine presenting gay male. What the hell am I supposed to do? By this summer; I could quite possibly be told I can’t legally exist or marry or have a family. I should not get a privilege pass just because I can’t make a baby. That’s why my pov is women are the true authority and should be fought for by everyone, including gay men. Gay men should be the first to have their backs on this, and not for selfish reasons; but because their autonomy defines our rights as human beings, regardless of sexuality or gender.

IRL Ritsuka took a candid pic of IRL Haruki asleep on IRL Akihiko’s shoulder. Just the look on that man’s face! Just suspend reality for a second; Akihiko at the moment he opens his eyes, and realizes someone’s taking pics of him and Haruki…but then realizes it’s Ritsuka

Kawakami is suuuuch an Aries! But if you’ve ever seen the guy speak for more than 3mins, you know he has a soft, gentle charm about him, and charisma for days!

Sunaga is just a beaming, giggling ray of sunshine, poppin from one snarky prompt to the next; the boy knows how to sell you! While his not so subtle, almost cringeworthy but it’s too sincere, crushing over Miyauchi Iori has been a thing of wonder, throughout pre and post production; his IRL admiration and friendship with Kawakami has been a source of sheer joy for Given fans.

While Funaki and Miyauchi hammed it up pretty damn good, during production; Kawakami and Sunaga have continued to feed the gvntwt moe in really sweet spoonfuls. Often posting twinning pics or call and response banter. Stuff like this; just kinda in the know for the fans. Sunaga plugs the live production and its merch like a personal mission He’s all in! And I love that so much, as a Given fan, and as an Arts Science major. The IDEA of falling asleep on Akihiko’s shoulder, and it was Ritsuka who caught the pic. But idt it was staged, like usual. It’s just magic!

Also. Just read the thread back and forth between Shibuki and Sunaga ah hahahaha!! But what I love the most about their off stage comeraderie, is not the allusions to the characters they played, so much as just the comeraderie itself. Guys being accommodating and sweet to eachother, because that should be an aspiration damn it, and esspecially when they’re two very different and very dominant personalities. They still make space for one another.

Muh god, Sunaga Futa is so my kin !!

Sunaga Futa aka Haruki

Masataka Kimura aka Takechan

To My Fam ❤

I wanna share a lil moment with you

Thank you all for being understanding with me lately; I’ve had to take some time away from the blog, to focus on my miserable health. (I’m ok, I’m just not in the best shape rn) Yet every time I check in; there’s still little hellos and thank you’s!

I really appreciate that ❤ You have no idea!!

If I haven’t gotten back to you yet; know that I will, it’s just taking me a little time. Things are slowly getting better

Please allow me to wax poetic with you, for a sec, today’s a super duper, special day

#1: Today is International Women’s Day!

#2: It’s also the astrological day known as;

“The Day of Non Conformity”

(Which explains a lot)

Today is the day, believed to be when the Om came into our existence When the Dragon of the Zodiac Wheel opens the heavens to bring thunder and rain, for Spring or Ki to begin to emerge from Winter

✨

Though Pisces Season started about a week ago; today is the day when the Wheel is in completion, and new beginnings can arrive. What an intimidating day to come into the world!

Which brings me to #3:

Sometime just before midnight, in the middle of a hurricane, as the moon was waxing gibbous in Leo, and into a full Sugar moon in Virgo…a time of taking the last deep breath, before heaving into the will of one’s intentions…a time of ‘nearly almost there’ pride and drama…two little boys were born. One, my twin brother irl; was unable to continue on in this world. He never got to take that breath, and only I made it to the finish line, to see that super moon. Just barely; I believe he gave everything he had, for one of us to be here in this amazing world. So he had his twin, carry him in their heart, in their breath, and in their intentions, every step of their life. I was crying my first tears, while my brother said goodbye. Forgive me for being dramatic; but this has impacted my take on everyday. Esspecially today.

My brother left me quite a lot to contemplate, on our birthday, every year. I always imagine what it would be like; if he were able to be here with me. I don’t say this to make your day depressing; it’s just something I’d like to share. You never know what could have been; so take charge of your life.

Astrology is fascinating and the stars and planets in your chart, are like a blue print for the way you’re put together. An intricate, complex machine, that is unlike anyone else’s. BUT the 3 main heavenly bodies in your chart, make you very similar, in a lot of ways; to someone else that shares those same 3 main placements. For instance; I just recently realized the reason someone I follow and greatly admire (and pathetically crush on won’t name) shares a Sun and Moon placement with my longest and closest friend irl. IE: Thus, this is why they instantly reminded me of them.

Your sun is like the model camera you have

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is all the lenses, filters, and special features it comes with; for how that camera works

Your Moon is the kind of pictures you take; the eye of your inner child. (This is instinctively affected by the phase of that moon, aswell)

I’m a Pisces Scorpio rising Leo waxing gibbous moon into a Virgo full moon

In short…IT’S MY BIRTHDAY

I only know of one other person who shares my BDay, Sun, Ascendant ANNNNNND Moon

Muh Husbando!! (not kidding)

How do ya think he became Husbando It’s just a cute thing, I think is kinda neat; that I share a birthday, and all the bells and frills with someone I think is really cool! Maybe that makes me lowkey Narcissus at the reflection pool but I mean, there’s a reason Pisces’ flower is the narcissus And we both got that Leo heart soooo a little touch of cathartic pride is not to be unexpected

Anyways; he makes a post every year, with his date and time of birth (which all 3 happen to be mine as well) but he’s a couple hours older than me. Which is really fn insane; considering Scorpio is the shortest, most unlikely, and strongest rising sign you could possibly have. Like that’s fn crazy, that we even share THAT specific Ascendant!

The chances are 2.5 in like 2300.

That’s pretty much it. I know you’re probably thinking this post is really bizarre, but C'mon!! If you knew a really badass celeb shared, not only the same BDay as you, but also the same damn chart….I bet you’d brag, too!

Something interesting is that I find (at least publicly) he treats his birthday, the same way I do. Just a chill day, that’s (his) mine alone to reflect a little, and after the initial HEY GUESS WHAT!? …it’s my birthday Neither of us really seem to care for a fuss about it Just btw it’s my BDayThat is all. I’m off to take a bubble bath and nap unapologetically, after I treat myself to some strawberry shortcake crepes (my fave too YOU DAMN COPY CAT!)

I mean I could be wrong, he could be a total jerk irl but there’s quite a bit of public and photographic evidence that we’re pretty similar dorks To make it even more bizarre…or I mean ya know; maybe astrology is real …just sayin: Because I was born at the end of the day on the 8th; I recognize my birthday as more of the last day of my year. Like it’s not really my birthday until the middle of the night, and into the next day; the 9th. He was born in the middle of the night, too and I’ve noticed over the last few years; it looks like he does the same thing Like it was actually the 8th yesterday, in Japan; but he doesn’t ever post about it being his birthday, until the end of the day and into the next day. I’ve never met anybody else that does this!

Like he just finally posted late in the afternoon, there^^ Which I’ve come to expect, and kinda enjoy, since it’s now MY BDay too HERE. How cool is that; to share something so specific, with one of your fave peeps! Im not including the audio ^^^ cuz it’s just him screaming to himself …. not AT ALL something I would do btw (I’m being sarcastic) So Happy BDay to ME and Happy BDay to my Husbando Toshiki Damn him for living my dream life! Sorry not sorry

Included some pics of Masuda Toshiki doing a damn good job impersonating ME and my weird ass lemme just be cringey, ok it’s my BDay too !! AT LEAST LEMME LIVE VICARIOUSLY

Masuda (L) can’t tell who the guy with the cake is, but thanks lolz

^^^Same reason I never post selfies either ^^^

Oh catch candid photos……

^^^ Or let anybody record me dancing

Masuda (L)

Or let people take group pics with me ^^^

btw This is like half of Given at some point

Masuda Toshiki (Hiiragi; Given audio dramas)

Yamashita Daiki (MHA Deku)

Soma Saito (Mafuyu; Given audio dramas)

Eguchi Takuya (Akihiko; Given anime) *I love that they’re buds irl, cuz I always imagine; if Hiiragi and Akihiko were in a room together, they would just stare at eachother. And then randomly have the same weird sense of humor

^^ Or let people take pics of me with my friends..

Tsubasa Yonaga (L) Masuda Toshiki ®

^^^Or just me in general….

Happy Birthday to my twin brother, who’s somewhere; watching me make a chaotic mess of my life.

Mostly though; Happy Birthday to my Husbando; Masuda and me, too!!

Ah If you want to be spiffy like the boys in Given ❤ Here’s the info ->

The necklaces they’re all wearing are sold on

Noitamina Apparel

BUT!! They already sold out of all of them except for Ritsuka’s!! …

They’re the same company that makes the licensed Given shoes ($220usd) with the character quotes. They’ve had the necklaces ($60usd) for months now; but it LOOKS like they sold out after the live stage cast were posting pics, wearing similar, custom guitar picks.

The Noitamina necklaces are actually a little studier looking, and come with natural gem stones; like the bracelets, which corresponds to the color coding for the characters ❤

The site offers international payment services and shipping; but there really isn’t a translate option. The quotes on the shoes though, do seem to come in English, by default.

If you do wanna grab any of the merch pictured above; it’s better to buy directly from them. Even without translations; it’s easy to determine which characters’ item is which, due to the color coding. If you buy from a 3rd party; you’re gonna pay A LOT more. IE the Given anime character pom pom ita bag charms, you see for like $80usd; if you buy them off the actual site, they’re $14usd->

Still, everything is insanely expensive but appears to be high quality, and they’re also the same company that makes the Given colognes anime colognes are just so funny to me…

They claim on their site; to work directly with Kizu Natsuki themselves, Shinshokan (Kizu’s publisher) and The Given Production Committee.

And on the the cologne descriptions…it says Kizu oversaw the design of each scent… ah hahaha!!

To all my MHA stanz…remember what it was like when people realized Bakugo would smell like caramel, because of his nitro glycerin esque sweat …well he’d actually smell like icing and charcoal, if you wanna get technical about it. Just sayin since his quirk is basically the same reaction as a nitrous funny car engine (it’s a dragster oh you didn’t know he’s like a race car?? I wrote the fic on it) Bath and Body Works makes a scent called Bon Fire Bash, that smells just like an NHRA track…but in a good way…if you’re interested

Ever wanted to know what Kizu thinks Akihiko would smell like???? Well now you will I decided to translate the descriptions

“Woodsy musk” and…“spy” ???

I’m guessing the note de tete is Byakudan, which is a long standing, popular sandalwood scent; worn by men in Japan for idk at least a thousand years It has the “woodsy musk” smell of “white wood”, but also a clean, cool herbal mid note (“spy”??) AKIHIKO SMELLS OF “SPY” ?

“Jasmine musk”

Haruki’s is actually really cool❣ The description literally refers to it as “genderless”!! Jasmine musk, or “jasumin” is a classic; nowadays worn more so by feminine presenting persons, but around the world, it’s considered a neutral scent. It’s a sunny, sweet note de tete; with mid notes reminiscent of those cool spring breezes, when you first start to notice the smell of flowers in the air. Kudos to Kizu for not making him smell like Patchouli I mean I love patchouli; but it shows a little more thought went into these, than just making him smell like a damn hippie!

Clean soap and greens" ❤

I’m thinking it’s an herbal smell??? Maybe lavender? Vetiver? Palm? Idk I could be way off, but it gave no other description.

“Cedron”

That’s a floral smelling, sweet tasting lemon. Ah haha!! Ritsuka’s a sour puss!!

Ue San so maaad!!!

“Lira, warm musk, and lily”

This one actually sounds amazing! Lira is a sweet amber scent; traditionally worn by women. I never thought of lily and Lira together, but it might be worth the $70 price tag. The site says it’s note de tete, is that of “a rainy night”, and that the mid notes are reminiscent of the smell of a violin…which does have a very unique smell due to rosin dust (I played one for years) Any ways!! “Lira” is like all the sexy, sweet smells put together into an oil:

Vanilla/Lavender/Anise/Bergamot /Creme de limon/Orange blossom /Blood orange/Jasmine/Sandalwood

Like just throw every aphrodisiac into a vial, and spray yourself into a pheromone frenzy…what was Kizu trying to get at!?

The Trifle Entertainment Luxury Edition Bonus Blue Ray/DVD package; comes with everything pictured above:

Blue Ray/DVD of the Given live stage theater performance, with bonus and behind the scenes footage (rumored to include the casts’ post production onsen vacay)

Photo book of cast, production, and behind the scenes stills

Mini Given vinyl record decoration

Mini Given amp and pedal art cloth

*Keep in mind; outside of region, you’ll need a region free blue ray player, to watch the discs. Pre orders are closed, but this should be available again in April 2022.

OH MUH GAWD!!

Miyauchi Iori

^^^This needs a lil explanation…but I think Miyauchi has accepted it, so it’s ok We’ll get to that later

Seriously though! Sunaga just kills me!! With his long posts, and his shutter bug creepin, and his tear stained eyes!! We would be besties 100%

I’ve been invited to watch Funaki’s play tonight, so super excited, and I’ll tell everyone about it!!

All of the cast has so many incredible things they’re up to, outside of Given.

They wrapped up two performances yesterday, and will do two more tonight ❤ It’s bitter sweet that the Given live experience is coming to an end, but please follow these awesome talents, so you can help them grow!! For instance; I think Sunaga has had a recent change in management, so it’s important for them to have fans that follow him, moving forward. Obviously the Given cast members are interested, and even some are passionate, about supporting LGBTQIA+ representation throrough the arts. So please support them, in return <3

In regards to the live “Given Encore Event” this is in response to the heartfelt reception, and demand of the audiences! Your support makes these things happen, for these actors, ya know!!

The first half of the performance is a live screening with commentary, of the filmed production followed by QA from cast AND crew. Then a mini “Given” concert; with the cast performing the music of Centimillimental !! The Blue-Ray / DVD of the live stage performances last holiday season; is available through this weekend, for purchase from Trifle Entertainment

Please see the information on the Given Live Stage Twitter!! This is what they are screening at the two day event, last night and tonight. Bonus footage will also include the cast’s celebratory production-wrap trip, together. Aswell as some pretty cool swag; if you purchase the Deluxe Luxury Edition!! It’s runs for about $150usd after fees and shipping.

Sayato Arima (Mafuyu) of WHiSANT

Shibuki Ryo (Ritsuka) of Anivel

Kawakami Shota (Akihiko) from Touken Ranbu Live and the film “Connection” will be in the upcoming 2.5D live stage production of Paradox Live, as Masakuni Zen

There is honestly soooo much to share (thanks Sunaga you doll!!) I’ll post for each cast member separately ❤

Wow!! Thank you for all the concern really I’m ok. I’m just in a really bad situation, and I won’t know until next week; if it’s gonna get better anytime soon, unfortunately I’m sorry to be vague ❤ I appreciate all of you!! You make life a blast!! If you think you can help in any way, you can msg me here; I still check in. I’m just not good at asking for the things.

Thank you from the bottom of my gay ass heart❤ Jeremy

I’m still alive ❤ ask me how things are in 1 week.

Wanted to check in and let you all know I’m ok; things will hopefully be better next month.

There isnt a lot going on right now; Given live stage related. They’ve kept everything pretty low key From what it sounds like; the two day live event, later this week, may be a screening of the previous performances, with commentary by the cast ??? No one has really posted much.

But there will definitely be music->

Look at Shibuki!! All taking the lead❤

His new management is putting out cool stuff ->

Oh and you know I gotta say sumthin…

Sayato Arima found an actual munchkin cat!!

AH HAHA HAHA

The Given cat headcanons continue

Yesterday was 2-22-22 on a TUESday!! It’s our turn in the western hemisphere today; Happy Neko no Hi!!

Idk…if Ritsuka starts showing up like that; Mafuyu might take pics of him, instead!?

Sorry…sorry. I can’t help it !!
