Happy birthday Hanayo! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ I’m gonna take the time to show my appreciation and love for our rice goddess!! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) To celebrate her birthday, I made both real rice balls and a cake in the shape of one! I hope she would like the special meal I made for this special day! Making the onigiri was pretty difficult, especially getting the shape right but it was all super tasty in the end! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Hanayo is a character that bloomed into a beautiful flower that I adore and cherish with all my heart! ❤⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ ) With a push from her friends, she got the courage to become a very precious idol with a sweet voice and a big heart!! ヽ(o♡o)/ Hanayo has always been special to me throughout my time with Love Live, and I’d like to share my short story! (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) My intro to LL was through ensif, and I wasn’t familiar with the genre of game or idol stuff in general, but it was really fun and I liked the art and characters in particular. For a long time I was pretty unlucky with gacha, but two of the earliest (sr+) cards I had were little devil Hanayo and white day Hanayo (which are now special cards to me!) I always thought she was super adorable and after a while I tried my hand at cosplaying her korekara no someday outfit, it turned out really basic and kinda falling apart but I had fun, and one girl at a con even recognised the costume, making me super happy! ( ﾉ^.^)ﾉﾟ

After that I actually watched the anime and got more into the supporting media in the franchise, and found out just how Hanayo had always been shy and nervous, which I 100% relate to, and finding a character you have a connection to is pretty nice! (ᗒᗨᗕ) As the series went on and she got more confident in her skills and herself, I thought that maybe I should do that too! I put that motivation into a couple things I enjoy, cooking and cosplay! I tried to make her china dress outfit because I really like that set and the designs! It wasn’t great, but it was an improvement from last time, and now I’m trying to improve of drawing and baking! ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉﾟ Logging onto sif and seeing their words of encouragement is a small moment but it’s super heart-warming, and I’m sure other people feel that way too! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ Whenever I carry around one of my Pana charms on me it’s like a little positive reminder that I can get through things and times that are difficult and troubling, and that I should take risks to do things I maybe wouldn’t have usually done instead of always looking on! (>^_^)><(^o^<) Hanayo’s development as a character and becoming an idol just like the ones she looked up to so much seems like a simple story but seeing a positive end as a part of μ's that will be forever in our hearts!! ♪♪ｖ(⌒ｏ⌒)ｖ♪♪ I hope people get to love Hanayo as much as I and other oshis do, and I appreciate it if you read this long post! ☆:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:☆
