My brain decided it wanted to do a bunch things for a short period of time today and I was like “yes ma’am” so that’s what happened 
I played 999 for a bit and my brain just wasn’t having it, so I pulled out Katamari Damacy as something I could just play without looking stuff up (which was correct, it’s not super difficult but the king speaks in like 90% katakana soooo that’s a thing lmao), then I wanted to try Earthbound since it just came out on the switch and I’ve never played it, but then I remembered Earthbound itself is the localized version so then I set up Japanese switch account and messed around with some of those games, and then my brain said “I wanna play Danganronpa” so I did (without looking anything up bc brain said no and it’s pretty doable actually! most things I didn’t know I got the gist from context)
So yeah tl;dr today was interesting lmao. I might read some ヴァニタスの手記 but I’m busy later so I wanted to record this hot mess Every day’s an adventure!
(Since my reading was so chaotic I don’t have any words to show for it rip)
Digression about listening
Something I have been noticing lately is that my listening abilities have gotten a lot better! Considering I’ve done essentially no listening practice (whoopsies) I know it’s because of this challenge. I kind of suspected I’d have more luck trying to listen to things once I had a better foundation from reading, but it’s cool to see that’s actually the case! I’m definitely still not good at it, but listening to music I pick up on a lot more of what’s going on, and I managed to watch an episode of 鬼滅の刃 without subtitles without getting lost so like… I’ll take it!
(I know this is also like the opposite of how some people work (which is super wild to me) so your mileage may vary)
Welcome!! You got this 
Seconded, none of them looked like words to me either (I kinda like them though, especially 見様見真似)
You’ve given us such a gift 
I love them with my whole heart
