Anyways today I'm in a bit of low spirits (should I summon more ghosts?) so ummmm time to try to find something to smile! more!

I rewatched all the scenes with Waver and Iskandar in Fate/Zero and cried again at Rider's death
Does that count as staying optimistic because I'm no longer in low spirits

Also yes siblings are =_= sometimes.

Chocochips in trail mix are heaven

Slap the little thing

It's 5:30 in the morning at Douton yard, the sun just a faint glow on the horizon, and already there is some activity. A steam whistle blows two short blasts, to which a railfan living nearby awakes. Groggily getting up and checking the time, he grumbles before looking out his window, which faces Douton yard. Through it, he hears the signature chugging cadence of a 4-8-8-4; must be moving the 8016 somewhere, he thinks.
Then, he remembers; the 8016 is out east, doing excursions. But what in the world...
Throwing on his clothes, the railfan races out of his house and is at the yard in under 6 minutes; he's the first person outside of the WoFRR to see the newest, and largest, steam locomotive ever built, one in a class all its own;
The Dragon class.

 
The mystery engine the railfan is hunting has no lights; all he can see is the firebox flash, which, he thought, looks almost 30 feet long.
That fire and the powerful chugging was all he had to help him find the locomotive as he drove along a residential road parallel to the yard. It took him a while, but he eventually pinpointed the hulking black shape’s position, and, finding a place to pull off, the railfan flipped on his high beams and whipped his car into an empty lot, two pure white beams illuminating the shops on the far side.
Then the ground started trembling slightly, and the locomotive passed through the beams, and the railfan started counting wheels.
4...
8...
8...


...6????
Then the cab passed, the roar of a steam whistle broke the early dawn quiet, and a nearby car alarm started alarming; the engineer, figuring they’d been found out, stopped hiding and flicked on all the lights, showing the distance from tip to tender.
“Jesus,” the railfan said, “that’s gotta be almost 100 feet!”
A heartbeat later, with the 4-8-8-6, number not yet known, accelerating away, the walkie-talkie on the passenger seat, perpetually tuned to the frequency used by the WoFRR, crackled. “Whoever we just passed, ya might wanna start recordin’.” The railfan fumbled for his phone, and just managed to swipe left and hit record before-
“1801 to dispatch.”
“Dispatch, 1801?”
“Can we get a highball from track 12 to Main one? I wanna see what this brand-new, oil-fired, 75-inch-drivered, 325-PSI member of the Dragon class can do.”
That was all the railfan needed. He threw the car in reverse, spraying dirt and grass as he whipped it around to head home and spread the news; some already knew, such as those watching the railcam, which was starting to get enough light to see, or those monitoring that same frequency.
And this was only the beginning.

So my brother chose Owari no Seraph as the next anime.
Ah well.
That was honestly last in my to-watch list xD but I'll comply. Now the question is where to get the episodes.
And before I check it out, I need to give my review of Apocrypha.

So overall I did enjoy Fate/Apocrypha. It was different than the other two Fate anime I've watched, and it was a welcome change of pace. Besides, I'm in love with the concept of the Holy Grail and the Servants and all that stuff. Obviously I'd like it.
Most of all I liked the characters I guess? The Servants. Most of them were likeable or interesting, And I will forever be wowed by Fate's character design xD. Of course there's some I didn't like, and the development for a lot of them was... kinda faulty. It could've been better but it wasn't done badly.
The plot was interesting too, but imo it went cliché in certain parts. Again, it was not bad, but it could have been better. Battles were pretty cool.
And everyone is like OP so that's neat.

Anyways yeah I enjoyed it :D

Feeling like changing sig again but Idk, not right now.
I'mma go practice piano.
