{Saigiku Jōno - Bungo Stray Dogs} "Very well, then I'll continue. You just told me that Montgomery-san took the day off. That was a lie, too." Saigiku Jōno was a pen name for the playwright, journalist, politician, and businessman from Tokyo. He was a gesaku writer. #bungostraydogs #bsd

@dunkindonutscoffee.bsky.social Thanks for making this pup's trip to the vet a little easier. Pup cups are Loki approved

Gen Narumi . . . I had a blast recreating some scenes and manga panels tonight. I can't wait to share them all, but for now, have this. Seriously, these are important negotiations. #kaijuno8 #gennarumi

Here we go

1 hour of personal training followed by 6 hours of work and then pattern printing and cutting - I'm exhausted, BUT I'm starting to feel hopeful that I can make all this happen in a week

Sometimes, it's cuddling your dogs to comfort them while watching bats flying around, and lightning bugs existing with fireworks exploding in the background to sound of the 1812 overture, ATEEZ, and whatever your Playlist throws at you.

Is anyone else seeing a ton of dragonflies recently? I've seen four in the last three hours alone and at least 2 yesterday (all in different areas)

Kristen and I are hosting two meetups at Tekko this year! Bleach - Friday, July 18th at 4 pm at Photo spot B Sports Anime - Sunday, July 20th at 11 am at Photo spot A. Hope to see you all there!

New Favorite One Piece character unlocked

‼️🔥 PLEASE BE CAREFUL DURING THIS HEATWAVE!!! Pay attention to your body if you must be outside, especially Monday. Know what to look for in yourself AND OTHERS, because sometimes it's very hard to catch ... especially when you are already confused.

What's one choreography you've committed to memory that you could whip out at any moment - I'll go first: Judas - Lady Gaga

There are many different ways to make a difference in the world. Step one is to find one and do it.

Today, I got to meet one of my favorite character's voice actor - no cosplay, no plan. It was such a genuine fan experience completely in the moment, just by myself, no one else. It was . . . Everything.

I can't wait to see all of my friends and mutual in a few days. I just have to style a few wigs, adjust an apron, pack and I'm ready to go

{Portgas D Ace - One Piece} "Oh, yes, I forgot about that. The name's Ace, gentlemen. If you tell the Straw Hat pirate, then he'll know who I am." I've found yet another comfort cosplay 💕 #onepiece #portgasdace

Your pope name: the last thing you ate + number of letters in your first name Pope Chicken Katsu IX

I would really like to catch a break soon. Between my position being having to job hunt, my lower back pain coming back with a friend (right hip pain), possible rolled ankle (maybe worse?), my dog having health problems and running into an ex all within days . . . I'm running out of positivity

Happy birthday, Chuuya Nakahara #chuuya #bungostraydogs

{Inosuke Hashibira - Demon Slayer} "What the hell is this creature!? I bet this is that thing. The master of this land; The ruler of this land!" It's Inosuke's birthday!!!! If you are new to following me, Inosuke has been one of my favorite characters for years! #demonslayer

A little fun Kaiju No.8 episode 1 and actual location comparison in honor of Mission Recon and the OVA. Left is from the first episode, and the right are pictures I took in Yokohama

Recently, I was lucky enough to be a part of a Fem Haikyuu collab, so I decided to not only do the Fukurodanu version but a timeskip version of Akaashi. It was so fun to figure out how they might style their hair or wear makeup (IF they wore makeup). It was so much fun.

{Keigo Takami "Hawks" - My Hero Academia} "I see a future where heroes have time to kill. One so bright we can't help but grin." I have a few Hawks photos left! I really had a blast cosplaying him, and those wings made me feel so cool. 📸 @umbraphotography #myheroacademia

They're so excited for their final BarkBox 😭

Finally, I made it to Ebisu this weekend in Squirrel Hill, and I was not disappointed! It reminded me of so many of the conventions stores in Japan and the prices weren't bad at all! I highly suggest checking it out

Kale, spinach, and tomato pasta with a lemon parmesan sauce topped with fresh brasil (added a little cottage cheese to the sauce for some extra protein)

I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend. Mentally, I'm not doing so great, so I'm going to take a few days off of social media. I also work all weekend, including a double yesterday and today. I'm sorry for my inactivity!

{Kaoru Sakurayashiki - Sk8 the Infinity} "I've been feeling like life pointless. Like there's seriously nothing that I can get serious about." It's Sk8 OVA day! I finally got around to watching it this morning and cried from happiness 10 minutes in. The boys are back! #sk8 #sk8theinfity

{Suehiro Tecchou - Bungou Stray Dogs} "And the world that we should be protecting . . . Is one where a girl is rewarded for her pureness of heart. " It's Tecchou's birthday, so I figured that it was the perfect day to share some more photos from my little photo shoot with him! #bungostraydogs

I started attending a weekly run club just to get myself out of the house and moving now that the weather is starting to get nice out and so far is one of the best decisions. I've seen too much of the city, talked to some wonderful people, and got some yummy GNC samples.

{Levi Ackerman - Attack on Titan} "The Difference In Judgment Between You And Me Originates From Different Rules Derived From Past Experience." I saw this artwork by @ rutinopele on Twitter a long time ago and was so inspired by the work and expression that I wanted to cosplay from it.

I'm hosting a Bungo Stray Author's book club over on my discord! Our first book, in honor of Chuuya's Birthday (April 29), will be the Poems of Chuuya Nakahara. If you're instead in joining, let me know, and I'll send the link!

{Atsushi Nakajima - Bungou Stray Dogs} "Human strength exists to be shared with those who are in the depths of despair. " I'm back in my Bungo Stray Dogs BS, and I've got an exciting announcement on the way! 📸 @katmccabephoto.bsky.social #bungostraydogs #atsushi

{Akutagawa Ryūnosuke - Bungou Stray Dogs} "No matter how powerful it may be, a pawn is just a pawn. " Did you know that Akutagawa's name breaks down to "ryū" meaning dragon, "suke" meaning son so roughly his name translates to "son of the dragon." Fun fact, he was born in the year of the dragon

I've been sitting on the edge of a glorious breakdown for the last 3 days. The kind of breakdown that makes me think "disappearing into Canada or literally anywhere else never to be heard from again because no one would miss me" is a good idea.

Kaiju no. 8 defense force division third division reporting for duty

Well . . . We have a bodysuit (with a slightly too long inseam because I have the SHORTEST torso in human history) and a shoulder pad

Crazy Kaiju No.8 update - 6 days out from con. All foam pieces have been patterned and cut out. Pouches have been patterned. Time elapsed - 5 episodes of One Piece Total episodes of One Piece so far for this build: 17 episodes.

Shout out to whoever kept requesting and putting Chappelle Roan and Taylor Swift on at the gym tonight - you're the real MVP.

Don't forget about those contacts and contact lens!

With Katsucon fast approaching, here's your reminder to take the time to clean those makeup brushes, beauty blenders, and sponges!

{Edward Elric - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood} "Even your gravest mistakes shouldn't stop you from moving forward." Today is unofficially officially Edward's birthday! This character and series means so much to me. #fullmetalalchemist #fullmetalalchemistbrotherhood

{Kaveh - Genshin Impact} "Another glass, please, Boss! I'm not leaving today 'til someone has to carry me out." POV - you're the traveler, and you wander into the tavern. You look to your left, and there's Kaveh, lost in thought and in wine. What do you do? 📸 @rayazucena #genshinimpact #kaveh

Workout summary - today was a cardio day. 5 mile walk/run and finished with a 20-minute gentle cool down. I'm now treating myself to pizza at a place I've wanted to try for a while. Today is about balance - be kind to yourself 💕

{Suehiro Tecchou - Bungou Stray Dogs} "Ants are a perfect model of leadership and loyalty, so I've been watching them for around eight hours. Do your best, ants." I love this manga panel of Tachihara stumbling upon Tecchou watching ants, I had to recreate it! #bungostraydogs #bsd

Working 23 hours the last two days has not been great. I really need to work on things around the house and for katsu. Tomorrow - WE RIDE
