Kendo dojo is making me a zekken I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED OFFICIALLY 🥺💕

I don’t really take gym photos anymore since my gym has no mirrors and I only have been tracking monthly via a body comp scan (which is more or less just a snapshot in time) but I had my photo of my backside taken tonight at our competition event and I apparently have the V taper going on???

Today I learned about a waza used in Iaido for pushing through bystanders/a crowd to get to the enemy but my sensei was like “Use this at the bar, it’s very helpful technique.”

Thinking about swapping out my chichikawa on my men from black to a different color like red or something and getting a leather tsuba dome. Everyone in my dojo is encouraging me by pulling out all their different tsubas and other things they’ve bought online. Bad influences I swear 😂

I had 👹 vibes today for practice but we ended up doing kata the entire time which I was really excited about. I love kata, it really makes me feel like I’m ballroom dancing with my partner. Learned a little Nito Ryu as a treat as well!

My painting SUNFLOWERS

Anyways Gachiakuta cosplay progress is going well. I was looking at places to get paint to weather the cosplay later on and came across a paint resell place that keeps paint out of landfills like YEAH THAT’S PERFECT.

Thinking about how someone told me today that one of my major character flaws was that I’m an extrovert. Sad, they sound so bitter about the fact that people do enjoy the company of others, but this state is the healed version of me. It took a while to grow into this! Hope they find peace✌️

Wow I now have healthcare at home. The healthcare: Figaro Garcia But wowowow this figure is so nice? And he looks so good on my shelf next to my string of hearts!

I can walk through the gardens directly outside my flat to the local gay cafe that also has a spa on top for a facial & massage Like wow this is actually my life, that’s amazing.

Ah yes hitting people with sticks is great for mental health 😌

Teaching people the whimsy of Lemon Pig for New Years 🥳

There’s so many fun character designs in Gachiakuta

Sensei asking me if I’m interested in tameshigiri seminar next year UM YES. ABSOLUTELY YES.

I learned katori chiburi and now I want to keep doing it over and over

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

The amount of comments I get that I have a privacy screen on my phone further drives the fact of why I have a privacy screen on my phone.

Cosplaying Mahokayu 1st Anni outfits during Mahoyaku Anniversary? More likely than you think.

Here is the other color version. When I think about pieces I am drawn too, I love a muted color pallet. I piece that looks like it's had a life, bleached by sun and time. The colors also remind me of the cold winter nights while on a moonlit snowshoe with my family in the forests of Vermont.

Call me Nero Turner 😤

I fought tooth and nail to get back on island. On the train home to grocery shop and become horizontal 😩

teatime babyyy #yuumori #cosplay

ネーム進まね〜らくがき

Sorry not sorry to the people outside my flat window who have to see me lose it over my cooking. It’s just that freaking tasty 😭

FIRE EMBLEM 😭

The joy of cooking something and you just fist bump the air because it tastes so good & the sheer excitement of sitting down to eat your meal

Thinking about how I had such a nice weekend with friends here and in 2 weeks I will see more friends!! Wow!!

🍕 ny pizza #yuumori #fanart

Durham adventure!! Soon!

Mailing out omiyage to friends kekekekek

Tbh if we have a James Bonde in Yuumori we should only be fair and allow Austin Powers to join as well

I managed to get manoomin shipped to me over here, so of course I made a little Anishinaabe summer breakfast 🫐

just made these as a joke but they’re actually very cool so now I wanna make a million more

I sometimes will have my knuckles split or something similar to that effect and won’t notice/feel it until I look down and realize I’ve got blood gushing out of my hand like, “Oops.” Cue my gym trainer freaking out and I’m just sitting there like 😅

Rewatching Yuumori with some chips and a meatpie yeehaw

I’d cosplay from Uma Musume just so I could do a sick gym photoshoot with it 🐎 🏋️

And somehow I have become local IT support to the British ladies in my gym 😂 it’s ok though I am happy to help

When your gym mate works as a baker at the famous tea house in town & they bring in the “rejects” after the workout to share

so disappointing how many ppl I see preemptively convincing themselves they can't learn a thing w/o giving it a real effort over time bc they think natural aptitude is the defining factor of skill acquisition. the only diff btwn them & the ppl who can do the thing is that the latter just kept trying

Train delayed 20+ mins due to trespassers on the tracks?? Bruh, I just want to get to Durham 😭

This was the Tsunami update I needed.

In other news, I discovered I can hold a handstand and even do handstand presses. I had no idea I possessed this skill, but I suppose it’s more like I’m capable of doing many things due to having a good foundation of balance and strength. I just never tried it/never had a reason to do it?
