ZOMERGERD, I have 110 followers. I’m pretty sure someone made a mistake somewhere because I can’t even get one person to listen to me prattle on about anime in real life, let alone triple digits! I figure I should get this post out real quick before anyone has the chance to unfollow. I wanted to get this post for the 100 followers mark but, well, I overestimated how quickly I could get it done.
So today, let me take the time and thank you all one by one!
I went off my WP follower list so, if you just read along or come here from Twitter I’m sorry I didn’t mention you. You count just as much.
OK, true talk for just a second. I started this blog not that long ago and already it has given me a sense of structure and community that has been a great positive in my day to day, and you guys are the most important part of that. So if you’re reading this, pat yourself on the back. You have done a good thing for someone you don’t even know.
To every person that’s been kind enough to follow this blog and let me know that my thoughts are worth listening to more than once. To everyone who’s made the effort to leave me a comment and made me feel part of the gang. To all of you who have taken the time to read one of my posts and share this tiny adventure with me: Tonight, I drink to you. You are all awesome!
ED- First, these are in alphabetical order. Second, I realized about a 3rd of the way through that I might have bitten off a bit more then I can chew when I decided on this post so if I missed anyone – let me just say I’m terribly sorry. Finally, my own writing is not always up to par so I can definitely assure you that I haven’t done any of these wonderful blogs justice.

I am stil; in awe of this post, once again my apologies for missing it the first time, and of course thanks very much for the shout out 😀
awwww thank you so much and of course I’ll mento you. Your comments are always there to cheer me up and your posts are so fun!
I’m so sorry I got to this so late…wow, this is an amazing list, I can’t believe you were able to give all the followers blogs’ justice! This is dedication, and now I have a ton of blogs to check out while I procrastinate…and of course, congratulations on such a milestone!
And aww, thanks for your description! “Melting Pots is the perfect place to find your calamity of choice”. This made my day, I love this description!
Again, thanks so much!
Thank you! And you have a lovely blog – that description wrote itself really!
Oh.My.Gosh. What a list. Your blogroll’s right here. What a great thank you post. BIG CONGRATS on this milestone. Here’s to another 110 followers soon! And of course, thanks very much for the shout-out. I appreciate it. Cheers!
Thank you so much! As much as I whined at the time, I’m looking forward to making another one of these
You’re welcome, Irina. Wow. G’luck and I also want to read your next one when you release it.
I only just started following you on WordPress but your posts are a joy to read. Not that I’d try any of the drinking games since I don’t know how much alcohol I can tolerate, but still – good job on the 110 followers.
Thank you so much! That really means a lot. Maybe I should make a cupcake eating game for my sober readers. Not sure it would be healthier mind you.
Congratulations, and thank you! I feel truly flattered that you think so highly of my blog, even if I don’t necessarily, lol.
You should. It’s a great blog
Thank you for the inclusion and congrats on getting so many followers! You deserve each and every one 😀 I think it is so amazing that you wrote out a meaningful paragraph for each person too, not just a generic regurgitation for each one. That’s dedication right there!
Of course I wouldn’t forget you!
🙂
Oh my goodness in how long it must have taken you to write this but Can tell how much it meant for you to get over 100 followers. It’s been very fun to follow your blog and love your style. Thankyou for the shoutout especially the part ” I’m pretty sure I don’t need to tell any of you who Lita Kino is.” you make me sound like a celebratory LOL Congrats on getting over a 100 and welcome to our owls group 🙂
You are! Thank you!
Naww bless you glad you have gotten to know others in this community ^^
It has been tons of fun and I can’t wait to get to know everyone better
i think i have to write a comment too even though i never did. thank you for the feature! no thanks’ to your follower tho, your blog post is really loved to read, so it deserved the three-digit number. i hope your blog can grow much bigger. 😉
‘m really happy that you have the nerve to be my friend (‘-‘ or do i had too much nerve to call you a friend?). btw, that 404ism is my first wp account :’3 moe404=404ism … u know, but i don’t really like the username on the time when i don’t’ know how to change it. so i just create a new gravatar account instead. rofl. ignore this story.
again, congrats for your achievement.
Yay I got a friend!
HOLY CRUD MATE, THIS IS THE MOST EXTENSIVE THANK YOU TO FOLLOWERS I’VE EVER SEEN. And I thought I was dedicated by having categorized folders of works by bloggers I’ve yet to read. You absolutely deserve the 110, and 110 more at that!! Thanks for the shoutout, too—I haven’t known you long, but your company is already greatly appreciated. (And you think my blog is pretty ahhh😱🙏☺️). Keep it up, you drunk~!!
Don’t make me doubt my tenuous grasp on reality, I may not know much but that blog is pretty. Like I might someday steal the design, pretty.
You are so sweet!!!!! It must have taken a really long time to type up this post. For you to find good qualities in each blog and blogger is so great. Thanks for the shout out! ❤❤ Congrats on the follower count. You deserve everything. 🍓
I’m pretty sure you’re sweeter and it wasn’t that bad, I am lucky to be followed by people with really great blogs. If everyone had boring blogs it would have been horrible…
Thanks for the shoutout and def gonna check out these blogs 👌👌👌
Hope you find something you like!
Gratz! You deserve it!
And thanks for the shout-out! And for the list I’m definitely going to have to go through…
My pleasure but don’t feel obligated
That’s really so sweet of you to thank every blogger. Looks like I have some new blogs to check out!
Glad you’re enjoying my playthrough of FFVII. There are some real… shall I say, interesting parts coming up in the future, so I hope you’ll continue following along!
Finally, congrats again on reaching this milestone with your blog!
oh I know and some great companions too. I can’t wait! and Thank you!
Yay, thank you for the mention! I’m glad I’m doing something right… Maybe. Honestly, I don’t know what I’m doing half the time.
Also, there is a reason why your blog grew so fast. Not only do you make quality posts at a good rate, they are also full of personality which is a hard thing you do in written form. I always look forward to more!
You are way to kind and are definitely doing something right
You produce both quantity and quality. It’s obvious you’re both committed to the blog and its readers. It’s no wonder you’ve reached 100+ followers. Just don’t wear yourself out when you breach 1000. Take care of yourself, too, please.
Also, that final picture is from GJ Bu, isn’t it? Another one that’s not screenshotted all that often.
I knew I could count on you: GJ club it is! I have to do more non review posts so we can play the guess the pic game some more!
GJ Bu had me at the spider scene.
Perhaps it’s time to ask: your blog header, the one with the girl and the cat in front of the tv, looks awfully familiar, but I’m not sure I’ve actually seen it. Something else from the same artist? Where’s it from? It’s an extremely cute picture.
Actually that’s a original piece from a zerochan artist that I had as a desktop for years. I have been trying to find the original pic again ever since I started the blog to give credit to the artist (unnamed when I got it) but I haven’t been able to find it. If you ever see it somewhere, please let me know.
It’s a great picture. It’s possible that it looks so familiar on account of the influences, or maybe I’ve seen other pictures from the artist before? I’m getting a tip-of-the-tongue experience from looking at the picture and I don’t know why.
Congratulations – that’s a great milestone and I hope things continue to go well.
” I’m convince Karandi is secretly 7 to 15 different people” – I wish. I would have so much more time to watch even more anime, read more books, play more games and watch more movies, if there were more of me. Of course, we’d (me and my 7 clones) would probably just end up disagreeing about an opinion on an anime and then we’d be in our own fight to the death to determine who would actually get to write the post. Then of course, I’d be back to just one of me again.
I would read a Karandi debates Karandi post any day. I hadn’t realized until right this minute that this is what is truly missing from my life.
Now it just sounds like a skit from a comedy show.
The best comedy show ever!
Or a really bad anime that we’d all publically hate and privately watch the heck out of. 🙂
Okay, that just made me think of Hallalujah/Allalujah from Gundam.
some of us occasionally publically like…
Wow….that is just truly amazing what you have done here: doing a shout out for every single one of your followers is something that’s absolutely and utterly astounding. Thanks so much, and I think I speak for every one of your followers here 😀
Congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone, and before you know it, you will reach 200+ followers and beyond. Trust me on that! 😀
Thank you so much! … Man, I’m not sure I can do this post again for 200 people. Although, I want through everybody’s blog to make sure I had the correct description for each and as long as it was, it was also a lot of fun. The post took forever cause I kept getting wrapped up in interesting posts…
It’s an amazing job you did here. Really mean that. 😊 Haha, no I don’t think that would be a wise thing to do for 200 followers lol. But still, I do know you will reach that number…and it will be sooner than later 😀
Man – you are good at this commenting thing! I will come back to these whenever I need a pick up!
Congrats! Hitting triple digits is a huge milestone, and you fully deserve it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. I know a lot of people have gotten there before me but it felt like an accomplishment…
On a side note, I really like the medicine vendor in your banner….
It sure is an accomplishment. I only hope to be there one day. And for you – wishes to reach four digits one day!
Thanks, I also like him a lot, as the whole Mononoke also.
What, it insane that you don’t have 100 followers. For sure you will and probably soon at that.
High praise coming from you Shoka! I personally think it should be reversed. Your varied posts always have me hooked and I’m looking forward to more.
And you can cook! I’m clearly not up to par just yet. 😛
This is a delightfully confusing comment. I’m nit sure if it’s suppose to be in response to a different post or if you think Shoka and I are the same person. If so ten that’s one of the best compliments I’ve gotten! I would like to keep that illusion going!
Ahaha! I’ve actually been reading the post little by little while at work. Brain stopped working when I decided to comment.
I’m not drunk, I swear! Just busy and distracted 😀
I’m now more confused than a drunk Irina.
Though, I don’t mind being called Irina, just hand me the drinks!
If it makes up for anything, I confused myself just rereading my comment! Was reading through the post on my phone between customers and whoop. Biggest mis-comment of my life (I shall bear the stain of my mistake).
Love and respect for both of you, regardless of whether you go by Irina or Shoka!
In all seriousness I would actually close down my own blog and just write for her.
That’s if she asks, of course rofl!
Hopefully that’ll give an idea as to how much respect I have for the blog–her blog.
That’s… a huge statement to make, though I’m sure it’d be a beautiful partnership.
Bold, but my respect for you both has gone up two-fold!
No no – I can’t live up to these types of standards.. Go back to being impressed I can find the keyboard through the vodka haze
But I love your blog so much! Don’t joke about closing it down!
Still best compliment I have gotten in awhile
Thank you for the shoutout!
I found your blog through one of Karandi’s In Case You Missed it post and let’s just say I’ve been in love with you since then(I hope I don’t sound like a creep). I mean how could I not? Just look at how much effort you put into this post.
Blushing again – I guess I owe Karandi a drink – (or like 16). Thank you and the feeling is quite mutual. I always look forward to your posts.
Thank you for the kind shout-out, and for the list of people and blogs to follow! I’ve been trying to engage a bit more with the wider WordPress community over the past few days in particular as it’s a side of things I feel like I’ve neglected quite a bit.
There are some enormously talented folks out there putting out great content on a regular basis, so it’s always a pleasure to discover a variety of new voices. You better believe my “following” count has just increased exponentially, and I look forward to getting to know everyone and their work!
I’m so glad to hear someone can get something out of this post. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
YOOOOOO- You da best!
Congrats on all the followers and the many more that will come! Your blog is amazing and so entertaining, fun, and informative!
P.S- As i’m writing this i’m sipping on some coffee and bailey’s 😈
I am jealous now Thank you for taking the time to comment while you obviously have more important things to do. Hold that coffee with both hands…
Only for you will I risk spilling
I would rather receive alcohol poisoning than unfollow you! 😇
See. This post is one of plethora of reasons why you quickly gained popularity.
If a blog is my cooking session… let’s see…
– Add a unique theme of drinking game
– Add the humor and ‘dat personality’
– On top of personality, add a persona
Each and every one of your posts have that ‘spoken’ feel to them; as if you actually wrote a script for a video! This post is no exception.
Like, I’m not even reading this post (or any other one of yours) with my own voice, that’s how surprisingly powerful writing can be when you embed your very own personality into it.
I do have to mention that my eyes almost died from scanning the huge appreciation in letters…this post probably has more effort put into than 3/4 of all of mine lol!
Thank you for the lovely description for my blog haha!
Despite not being a drinker I do have a cask of red wine which I use for cooking.
However today, I drink to that~
well I’m blushing… Shoka you make the carpal tunnel I got from this post 100% worth it. I love personal voice posts – yours are like that too. It feels like I’m having a super fun conversation with friend everytime I go through your blog.
Thanks for the mention! For someone who only recently noticed and followed me, you sure dug deep, haha.
I’m pleasantly surprised that you found my novel/story series. Yes, it’s original. Yes, it is still ongoing. However it is currently on hiatus along with my more fun posts due to real life. However, there is many more interesting original content that I’m working on that will be released once I’m done with this state of busyness. Furthermore, I will be redoing my story from scratch again, this time with better writing.
Thanks again and congratulations on hitting 100! Hopefully I too, someday might hit that milestone. Your blog was wonderful to read.
I’m sure you will, your site was so much fun to explore
This was such an awesome thing! Celebrating your followers is set of you. Plus now I have my reading material for the next two weeks. *bookmarks* Thanks for the shout out of my blog, I wasn’t sure how you would describe it, but highlighting the classics was a cool way to do so. This newbie will definitely be watching more classics, they’re named that for a reason. (Just started the Rose of Versailles, gasp!)
OMG Can’t wait for Rose. First anime I ever watched so it’s real close to my heart. I also have no clue what I think of it…This is going to be great. Thank you for your always lovely comments. They mean more than you think
HEY let’s be real. It was only a matter of time before you hit the milestone of 100+ followers.
So don’t act too surprised!
Still, CONGRATULATIONS!
It’s still a milestone worth celebrating, after all!
Thanks for the shout-out and the kind words, by the way. It was very nice of you.
You really did put in a lot of work into this post and it’s just the thing to cheer me up on this dreary morning. See, your posts are giving back to the community, too~
Plus Ultra!
I’m doing my best Taylor Swift impersonation now.
Thanks Remy, you’re blog is a constant source of inspiration and intimidation
Nailed the impression. 10 outta 10.
Mad props! Taking the time to shout out every single person makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside like a special snowflake. Plus, Irina, you deserve all the follows because your posts are genuinely very interesting and enjoyable, very much so and could possibly make one die from alcohol poisoning-BUT that’s what makes life much more fun doesn’t it? Keep doing what you’re doing! SALUTE!
Thank you so much. I have really appreciated how kind everyone has been. And I as told the internet was mean…
Thank you for the mention. This must’ve taken a lot of effort to do, so I’m doing my best to give the comment it deserves!!!! I enjoy your reviews a lot too. I’ve tried some of your drinking game, and I threw up once re-watching School Days. Not with the drink you suggested though, since i’m dirt poor. XD
You also watch anime at an amazing speed, since you post your thoughts on them one after the other. good job to you. I wish I can be that fast too.
congrats on the milestone. i’m sure it’ll double, nay, triple, in no time.
btw, i recognize that picture. XD brings back good memories. haha.
Thank you and yeah – this post was a bit more of a challenge then I had bargained for but once you’re already hours in…
I now take my pants off watching anime thanks to you….ooohh I hope someone reads this out of context…
Thank you for the shout-out!
I must confess that I binged your entire blog in three days and have been awaiting updates with bated breath everyday since.
I don’t drink but your drinking games are so much fun I’ve seriously considered a cocktail or twenty.
I haven’t updated my blog in so long because of other commitments like academics but maybe that’s simply because I haven’t found anything to write about with as much passion as you do anime.
I was shy about posting comments because I don’t know much about anime (although I enjoy the medium and know a lot more since reading your blog) but you seem like a really nice person and your writing is very interesting so you’ll be seeing more of me around ^_^.
I am extremely happy to hear that and please feel free to comment anytime. Can’t speak for anyone else but I certainly really enjoyed this one and would love to see more.
I understand that some things are more important than posting but I think your older posts are a fun read.
Maybe I should add non alcoholic drink suggestions…
and again, of course, Thank you!
Lol!
Fun? Okay, you must not have gone as far back as my first few posts. My first post is literally titled “Dank” T_T.
Through you, I’ve discovered the Anime Blog circuit which is a whole new world I can’t wait to explore (I have promised it as a treat to myself after I’m done with exams in two weeks).
Actually your right, fun s nowhere near the right word. Your writings feel very personal and I got the impression I was being told something private..Not sure how to qualify it. thingly?
Tingly works.
It’s one of the reasons I haven’t posted in a while, I keep writing more and more “private” things that seem highly inappropriate to post.
(Un)fortunately that’s the headspace I’ve been in for over a year now.
I need some Irina type fun in my life!
I binge watched Orenchi no Furo Jijo recently to get some of that so thank you once again!
My beloved mermaid boy can fix everything!
