Thanks Tsukki for the segment introduction! Here’s my round-up of posts from last week:
- [ED]: Zero | Sunday Salutations: My return back to the blogging world kicks it off with a song from KnB and a few announcements!
- [OWLS Blog Tour] The Door That Never Opened: Daiki Aomine: I rounded out our October tour by looking at Aomine’s failure in reaching his maximum potential.
- [KnB Challenge]: Prompt: The KnB Prompt as completed by my dear friend Mel, and I thought it would be the best way to break back into blogging.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 1 | Favorite Male Character: Kise Ryota: A few reasons as to why Kise is best boy to me in Kuroko no Basket.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 2 | Favorite Female Character: Riko Aida: I’ve featured her before on WCW (Women Crush Wednesday) so I don’t go into too much depth.
- The Homes and Gardens of No. 6: Bringing Fantasy Friday back into the mix by looking at the homes of the elite society of No. 6.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 3 | Least Favorite Male Character: Makoto Hanamiya: I despise this character the most. He’s just a bad guy, not even like a good bad guy. He’s just pure evil and gross.
- [ArchiAnime Anecdotes]: Literal Lego House: I bring you a building literally designed in the shape of a lego brick, by one of my favorite Architect’s: BIG.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 4 | Least Favorite Female Character: On Kuroko no Basket there are no “bad” female characters. They’re all strong in their own right, and play critical roles to all the men in the series. So instead of tearing them down, I talk about the positives they bring to the show.

I’m going to do something a bit different here. I won’t just link anime related posts. I’m opening this up to gaming, architecture, art, anything I’ve found worthwhile on the internet! (I’ve crossed our architecture and art as I’m creating a new series on this subject matter since they’re not anime-related)

OWLS POSTS:
We are a group of otaku bloggers who promotes acceptance of all individuals regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and disability. We emphasize the importance of respect, kindness, and tolerance to every human being.
Our October tour looked at the theme of “Dreamers”. The prompt is as follows:
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?”
-Langston Hughes
Due to recent events that happened in September, this month’s OWLS topic will be on “Dreamers.” Every individual has a goal or ambition that they devote their whole life to with passion and courage—whether it’s landing your dream job, traveling, or finding the love of your life. However, there are those who spent their whole life working towards a dream but it was cut short due to an unexpected occurrence. Those people are left only to dream and wonder about the possibility.
This month’s topic will be dedicated to these characters in pop culture entertainment. We are not going to focus on the individuals that achieved their aspirations but instead, we will focus on characters that weren’t able to. We will explore what happens to characters who had their wings forcefully cut off as well as those who gave up before they even started their journey. We will also discuss what it means for “a dream to be deferred.”
Here’s the round up from the month:
