It's Chica Umino!!! AAAA!!

I've been sick in bed for the last three days and I'm on a marathon reread of Detective Conan. I've made it to the early 2000s.

Never change, Miss Jodie.

Time for Vietnamese coffee

Possibly my work outfit is a bit much today. I've been asked twice what I'm cosplaying and it's only noon.

This random cafe in camped out in is playing the Serial Experiments Lain theme song

I found this gorgeous 1970s dollhouse vanity at the thrift store today and now I'm obsessed

Why is every adhd person like this

I'm halfway done my next book, which means I'm now at the point where I realize I don't know how to draw and cannot bring myself to look upon what I hath wrought. All on schedule.

I'm still surprised some sort of Christian family media company didn't jump on Saint Tail during the late 90s anime boom. She's a Catholic schoolgirl who gets her righteous missions from a nun and says her prayers to transform, maybe it was TOO easy

you know what it's been long enough. let's post the whole #bowuigi zine to the public #bowser #luigi

Ah, yes, the familiar faces of my youth.

It's me and @nickdrawthing.bsky.social's wedding anniversary, and our kid has so far inquired if we had a nice honeymoon today and wished us happy thanksgiving. I'm not sure if we're being trolled or not.

I'm staining a table solo for the first time, and hoping that the rough state means I at least won't make it any worse...

Hanako-kun...is on indefinite hiatus

I started a thread about tracing ref in the middle of another thread, so I'm reposting the start of that one here. So, some thoughts about drawing directly over reference:

Now I'm not just that lady who writes disapproving letters to the library whenever they invoke the name Harry Potter, I'm also that lady who complains to the cookie tin people about using AI imagery. If I'm in my Karen era, I can at least try to redirect that energy for good.

Me listening to my kid breathlessly telling the neighbour about Rayearth's first season twist

Some yokai thoughts from my Japan trip this summer

Some yokai thoughts from my Japan trip this summer

My kid is watching 1994 Magic Knight Rayearth and it was really ahead of its time... We wouldn't see this level of walleye again until the moe boom of the early 2000s. (Every song is great though)

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

Happy Thanksgiving I've eaten my weight in pumpkin pie

In your FACE, um-actually-theatre-guy, that WAS an extended cut of Perfect Blue, it WAS different than the dvd release, I win the public pendantry award

much to think about

Another semester, another talk with the comics kids like "you're training for a skillset, you're not going to graduate into a job. That would be like getting an English degree and expecting to go get a job at English"

Ok, but if I simmer something for a /real long time/ it'll automatically be good, right?

This should be implemented everywhere in the country! globalnews.ca/news/1146531...

I, for one, am intrigued by this new direction in the Murderbot series.

Has the procreate update killed anyone else's iPad battery? I'm barely getting three hours work out of a full charge now!

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

If you're getting ready to launch your graphic novel, or will be in a year or two, this course from Janna Morishima will help you develop a plan (Janna knows what she's talking about!): kidscomicsunite.com/how-to-launc...

I got to read Corpse de Ballet early and let me tell you it was so GOOD. Megan writes killer dialogue for these teen girls. I love a well-written, but absolutely terrible, human. And the monochromatic, ethereal artwork? Totally gorgeous. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I dreamed I had a dinner date in jail with The Penguin and I don't even go here. What's up subconscious?

Fascinatinnnng

I'm having big Navy Brat flashbacks with this week's Detective Conan movie. I wish I could watch this with my Dad, he'd scoff at it so much and he'd watch every minute.

Recommended viewing. So inspiring. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

Ah yes. When cosplaying a classic anime character, one must never forget the 1 piece Fish Head. Really iconic to the look.

A lovely thing, amid the shitshow that's the world… Four years ago, Beau Miles planted a forest. One tree a minute for a whole day. His return video is a joy. Via @kottke.org
