Omg she's amazing Yamamoto rep!!

Tentatively wanted to mention that I still won’t be able to get my computer repaired for at least another month or two, so art is the only way I can keep making money on the side outside of my full time job. I will likely continue to need help for the time being. Spreading the word is appreciated.

If you were to tell Teen Nari she'd get into (some) jdramas, she'd look at you funny. I think PGSM was the extent to my ever wanting to see live-action ANYTHING for the longest time Don't tell her why she gets into them, though lol (and no, the gl reason wouldn't faze her. It's ManaEmi lmao)

Ahhh the new drama Manami is in is finally here 😭 yes! Available in English!I believe she's a secondary character, but she's kinda important because she's the MC's ex, so I can't to see how that plays out

Just trying to save up some money for the move at this point, folks. Anything that helps with getting a moving truck and all those things

I guess I can now say I have bound explicit fanfic together as cheap books for someone lol

Mad props to the customer printing out their YGO fanfic on the fancy silk paper at work I SHOULD follow protocol but...no. I cannot. They must have these copies. As a fellow fandom person, I'm giving them a quiet pass

#Tsukutabe starts in the autumn. As of Ch 52, spring is underway. I'm sure if a full year had passed, we'd have our "let's make stollen" reference happen, but not yet So...probably only 6 months had passed (max) from NomoKasu chance encounter to moving in together?

Had an old coot corner me while I give my cashier his break and try to convince to get into the stock market because of this whole oil thing (he thinks they're going up up up! Ugh) My headache got worse. I may have been just a TOUCH past customer service happy and getting tense

No doodle today. This whole "working on a day I usually have off" is really throwing me off 🫨

In a well-liked tweet, one bookseller from Wakayama commented: "She didn't announce the gender of her partner (she doesn't have to), which might be a first in the history of Japanese celebrities," & then congratulated the couple in Chinese.

Ex-idol Wada Ayaka ("Ayacho") of the group Angerme reported on Instagram that she went to Taiwan to marry her Taiwanese partner. W/o revealing her partner's gender, she said they married there b/c Taiwan supports marriage equality & separate spousal surnames.

Omg she's amazing Yamamoto rep!!

Omg yessss Emi Tomodachi reppppp

...uuuund Yamamoto ist jetzt auch auf der Insel

What would be hilarious, if I had the time and patience, would be to make an island entirely composed of various Manami and Emi roles, with a few extras like my OCs or other fandoms since Emi's credits are still smol I'd give Tukutabe the biggest rep and include Yako, Nagumo, and Sayama, though

Was willst du mir sagen, Nomoto?? 😭 Wie Kasuga passt zu dir nicht

RP> Just because I'm looking for support doesn't mean I'll ignore friends who need support as well 🫶🏽

If you can help offset kira spending 3 months of what rent costs it would be very helpful (also money for food and other supplies while waiting for job stuff)

[stacks of truck totes stare down at me] [I'm pretty much the only person on the floor now, not counting pharmacy and my cashier] [Getting more assistance pages than average because it's Friday] I dun wanna work today 😭

COOKIE COWORKER CALLED OUT Well there goes any semblance of fun on a day I don't normally work!

Fangirling over my own works is self-care 💕

My favorite part is when they watch the moon rise and they just stand there, then Emi gets the little melody whispers....and then breaks down (positive; just overwhelmed with emotion) And, in my typical fashion, I cut to something a bit lighthearted lol #rpf

Yes, this is the Hokkaido speculation chapter! Maybe that's why I love this chapter in particular. I got to play with some of my fantasies in this one. I didn't get to write in the bath into this fic....but that's okay. The bath ended up getting its own fic in the Spicy series #rpf

The main things I played with involved a theory about why the two kept a low profile for a bit there last summer, the inspiration for Emi's song, "Mangetsu" happening during this trip, and...well...the super strong feeling that Emi went with Manami to Hokkaido in the first place 😆 #rpf

But, because it's not something either lady has ever come forth to confirm/deny, and probably never will, I'm "legally" (lol) obligated to put that "this is a full fantasy" disclaimer on that particular chapter Still~ it's a fave ❤️ #rpf

Also, a reminder that, while my own vision for this particular scene (and beginning of the scene after this) is pretty benign, I'm not gonna stop you if you see it any other way 😗 It is a cute image, though. The hand-playing and giggling I mean. I'll draw it someday~ #rpf

What's my take? They played with their hands, they giggled, perhaps a little nuzzle from Manami (clingy gf 😆)...then they got ready for bed but ended up sleeping on the same bed together because they already made that one comfy by sitting on it and stuff Again, you can imagine your own! #rpf

One curiosity, though, based on what we know for Vol 6. The contents also mention some bonus stuff. One set of the extras are going to be comics under the subject "Women going about their daily lives" If it's what I think it is (sharing the 2025 bonus comics), one of them shows us Halloween*

#Tsukutabe starts in the autumn. As of Ch 52, spring is underway. I'm sure if a full year had passed, we'd have our "let's make stollen" reference happen, but not yet So...probably only 6 months had passed (max) from NomoKasu chance encounter to moving in together?

Imma hide in my Tsukutabe today, I think. Rather, I'm gonna think about it in some form I dunno if I wanna go into an AU or not. Probably not. What about the roommates era? Ahh, Vol 5 only arrived last year but can you believe they're already roommates? 🥰

Sad today is a work day for me. A coworker is giving me (and the crew) a pick-me-up with her baking, though. She's bringing chocolate chip cookies lol Even so, I'm not used to working on a Friday, much less going back to work after one day off. I need my consecutive days off!

The plane trip to Hokkaido was a little tense, and Emi could tell. Oh, poor Manami... (specific scene from fic in the alt text) #rpf #funariart

ok i snuck a little tomodachi time before bed and i made tsukutabe miis you don’t say nomoto…

Allow me to admire my own work for a moment, but I do love the "Full Moon" chapter of LLL3. There's another one I love in that particular fic, but, because I just drew a scene from Full Moon, I'm thinking about it Sure, I edited a part of it earlier today, but I love it~ #rpf

....oops. I made a goof No, no! Nari. Do not get back up just to fix a small detail! Edit it later and just offer the fixed version in the year-end archive!

If you recall when this particular chapter takes place, Emi was wearing the crochet-looking pair of pants for her radio gig. In the fic, they're mentioned but she changed to more relaxed pants for the plane ride....this is bc I hate drawing them (they're pretty! but I hate drawing them lol) #rpf

Don't worry, I'm fixing the hat in the illustration, it's a wip, after all. Don't point out the error! I was using a mirrored selfie as a ref before I found this other pic of her in that one cap!

Why is it that she looks absolutely COOL when she does this (wip)

Congrats to the Elder Scrolls community on not trying this for 28 years so this stayed secret for that long.

This may be one of the longest running secrets in the history of The Elder Scrolls, this has seemingly stayed hidden for 28 years from general knowledge.

Thanks to the ongoing work on the Redguard Unity project, we have learned that if you were to try to look up the skirt of a female character in that game, you will find a smiley face emoji.

Emi and Manami, on a plane~ something something...that's what I'm drawing today lol (rhyme fail lol) #rpf

Just trying to save up some money for the move at this point, folks. Anything that helps with getting a moving truck and all those things

A reminder that, if you love what I do, you can always support me on Ko-Fi. You can drop a tippy-tip when you like a new work, or can even do a monthly support! I even have commissions open, if you've ever wanted something drawn by me! ko-fi.com/funakounasoul

I don't normally announce my fic edits because they're usually so minor, but this was pretty drastic a change I think the only other time I announced an edit was for LLL2 because I wanted to incorporate Emi's niece into the mix since she was the person who actually came up with "Emimi" and "Manana"

I have NO IDEA how many people will be affected by this, but if you've read LLL3 and re-read it again sometime, you may feel something different in one chapter Well, a scene in one of them was bothering me, characterization-wise. I just rewrote so it made more sense #rpf

What did I do? Well, something I definitely don't plan to cross-post, that's for sure lmao.....I turned a super-serious moment from the drama into 🔞 Utter. Blasphemy. 🫢 [See the reply for the blasphemous content....if you dare]
