Maaki's MAL Profile
Hi! I'm Maaki, sometimes also known as Ena Jane.
Non-native English speaker. Lazy (which is obvious in this profile). Irregularly busy. Thus, rarely start a talk/build my profile/post anything.
---------------
Haven't come up with anything to introduce, maybe just lazy XD.
Okkkk I always loved to read other profile pages but kept being too lazy to write my own. But feel free to talk to me!
I'm not a native speaker, so plz correct and forgive me if I make mistakes when I talk too passionately(tho talking passionately might be unlikely for me...

oo, 我现在就有一本他的那个hitchhikers guide to the galaxy但摆在那好几年了hhh。从高二听我一个老师的推荐买的,但一直没有读。不过我也好久没看书了,上一次读好也得半年前读了个1984。呃...我看看这几周能不能抽出点时间把那本读了。
> 目前最大的阻力是上周不慎点开Alan Becker主页,一口气看完AvA、AvM和短篇,发现掉进了有生之年大坑,之后一直心神不宁
哈哈哈,不慌,我最近也沉迷于短视频了每写个一百来字就得doom scroll个一小时,均每天ins时长都得有个4小时。可以明显的感觉到自己的智商在慢慢的下降hhh。还有我番也有点看不下去了,近几个月看的越来越少了
As for the VPN, tech issues can be such a hassle. I'm so grateful that you Imaged that sky atmosphere sounds lovely, though. Sometimes, it’s those little moments of natural beauty that put everything else into perspective. I wish I could Enjoy those sunsets with a special friend like you maaki who love mysteries as much as me.. and take your time getting back to the anime grind.
I tried uploading the pics I took on a different site. Hopefully you can see them now
I see. There's a manhua adaptation for Romance of Three Kingdoms called Ravages of Time. It's said to be very good. I wish Dream had that too since the premise sounds very fitting for a shoujo-like manga.
Also, this is timely. I got scared by Dream's length initially and I put it off since I read it was about thousands of pages. But I have downloaded the files and checked for myself, and it's only 642. I was thinking of starting it soon. I'll let you know what I think if you want.
I wonder what's keeping you so busy for so long haha.
I recently took some photographs of the sky from the public park during dawn and during blue hours and golden hours. The sky looked amazing exactly like in anime ! Dawn, blue hour, and golden hour are best times for photography, also learned this fact from anime.
They offer different lighting and colors that can really make the sky stand out
It also makes it difficult for me to enjoy the night sky or even have a good time .
It's good to hear that the schools near you have opted for gentle street lighting that maintains safety without contributing too much to light pollution
Do you enjoy looking at the night sky? 🌌✨
Big cities are always so illuminated that it overwhelming the festive mood and lanterns.
Man it's so bright these days at nights with LED everywhere and I remember that it wasn't like this even when I was in high school.
I used to enjoy walking back at night from cram schools for getting into top universities but now it's just feels like daylight all the time.
Origin: Chinese Buddhist and Taoist roots
Date: 15th day of the 7th lunar month (usually in August)
Purpose: To honor the deceased and offer food, money, and other offerings to wandering spirits
Rituals: Burning incense and paper money, offering food, performing ceremonies to appease ghosts
Beliefs: Spirits are believed to roam the earth during this time, and offerings help bring them peace
Bon Festival
Origin: Japanese Buddhist tradition
Date: Mid-July or mid-August, depending on the region
Purpose: To honor the spirits of ancestors and family reunions
Rituals: Cleaning graves, offering food at altars, Bon Odori (folk dance), lighting lanterns to guide spirits back to the afterlife
Beliefs: Ancestors' spirits visit their living relatives during this time, and rituals help ensure their safe journey back.
I see no difference between the two festivals..
There's definitely something I find so captivating about three kind of festivals. The eerie atmosphere, the ancient rituals, and the stories passed down through generations of manga make them truly great .
What I love most are the lanterns of the Bon Festival lighting the way for spirits or the offerings during the Ghost Festival, these traditions bring out the supernatural feelings. I Embrace the mystery and I find the spiritual experience quite thrilling.
Lanterns truly add a magical touch, don't they? Their warm glow guiding spirits and creating an ethereal atmosphere is both beautiful and haunting as I've seen in various anime and drama. It's like they bridge our world and the spiritual one, adding to the outworldly mystery that I love.
By psychological I mean stories like dead demon dedede, tomodachi game, etc.
Do you celebrate Halloween? I like Halloween much more than Christmas and new year.
I will most definitely watch Dirk gentle
I watched some hallmark mystery specials (look them up) and Harry wild, Mallorca files, sisters Boniface.
Among Asian dramas I enjoyed the dog Knows Everything, real renai satsujin, geeks, yips, Usotoki Rhetoric, Go Home: Keishicho Mimoto Fumeinin.
Well I'm not much of a reader but if it's mystery I'll definitely watch anything other than psychological tragedy
