  • If Arima Kana has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Arima Kana has ten fans, then Im one of them. If Arima Kana has only one fan then thats me. If Arima Kana has no fans, then that means Im no longer on earth. If the world is against Arima Kana, then I'm against the world.

    Prolatangon

  • 2023's motto: From amazing to horrible animes, passing through cultured to cute one's, 2023 was a roller-coaster journey fill of happiness and sadness, as well as disappointment, but most importantly, enjoyment.
