True friends would never undermine or invalidate the struggles of another friend. Ignorance needs to be educated, and I would have hoped in big 2025, people were open enough to understand that the LGBT community isn't some satanic cult.

We should focus on the item that's being sold. The art piece that comes with it is a bonus.

Sauces, cooking oil, and drinks from Hita are always brewed on site. And they have a distinct taste to them.

They're also known for ayu (sweet fish) and ayu herb sauce, which is also good for sauteing and cooking with.

Instead of shipping wars, can we just appreciate the new illustration? And the fact that it's plum liquor from Hita?

Hita is KNOWN for its clean water and superb sake production. So you just know that it's gonna be quality.

One of my close online friends is flawless at imitating artstyle, so much that people have thought her fanart was official work.

But what sucks is that there's so much AI art that looks "official", people might see her work and think she just used AI.

There were also "boy toys" that I played with, cause I thought they made great accessories to my dolls or they looked fun to play with. Another way I identify with Hinako. (4/4)

🍃 Under The Cherry Tree 🌸 @akaruisakura.bsky.social · 14d

Growing up, I always dressed girly (still do) and played with dolls. But I hung out with guys AND girls and I love writing stories, playing video games, and one of my favorite things to do as a child was role-play. (3/4)

She isn't just a "deconstruction" trope, she's a young woman. Feminine and strong. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. But as Rinko frequently mentions, Hinako isn't a conventional "lady", as if it's a problem. (2/4)

🍃 Under The Cherry Tree 🌸 @akaruisakura.bsky.social · 14d

Something I love about Hinako is that she's still very much feminine and likes girly things (ex: played with dolls and wore dresses and had long hair), and it's mentioned that she played with girls as well.

But she's also very imaginative, independent, and outspoken. (1/4)

Same dudes who were thirsting over Lady Dimitrescu, are now policing grown women for thinking Kotoyuki is hot.

Silent Hill f definitely proved its point with this one. 😌

About a week or two later, I made a new friend and at PE, I asked her if I could go ahead of her. She said "Why are you asking me? Go ahead, I'm good."

Now I know that true friends won't try to hold you back, for "going ahead". She still cheers me on to this day.
(3/3)

Well one time, two of my "friends" didn't like that. They got really mad at me for "leaving them behind", saying that I must have thought that I was better than them. (2/3)

🍃 Under The Cherry Tree 🌸 @akaruisakura.bsky.social · 15d

That backstory when Sakuko didn't want Hinako to run ahead when they were in PE reminded me of something that happened to me when I was in 5th grade.

I loved running and whenever we did track practice, I would go ahead of everyone. (1/3)
