I became the softest gorl in the gardens today 🌸 I’ve been itching to photograph this ko furisode I picked up a couple weeks ago. She’s from the 1920s which makes her around 100 years old. Giving her another chance to see the sun again.

Photographing my ko furisode/having a nice time: Man nearby with his kids: You’re going to have a horrible credit score when you grow up…

The Japanese color archive videos soothe me and make me feel so at ease. AND COLORS, I LOVE COLORS.

The discovery that the Roman Baths allow cosplay photo shoots has led me to having SO MANY IDEAS.

I think it’s super funny I am planning horror movie outings with my coworker’s wife because she also enjoys the genre. My coworker on the other hand…

And a year later, I did indeed keep my word 🙂‍↕️ Once again, I am unable to look at the camera and face one direction only..

After a year of planning and mostly waiting, I got to do my bluebell shoot! And it’s my first shoot here!

The kendo meme videos are funny but then you see the diabolical way the person’s holding the shinai and 😰

Gym had us play a game for warmup today which involved us holding cones above our heads while trying to knock down another person’s cone. I managed to slap someone’s cone out of their hand & was laughing but they were like, “Why did you have to do it with such an evil cackle?”

Someone at the gym thought I was from London because I had “a slight London accent” and I’m truly confused but also amused that I have reached peaked integration jk. Though I do find myself using UK terminology more often so I can be understood immediately/avoid as much confusion as possible.

There’s a restaurant here that is doing a limited time 6 course meal that’s Sherlock Holmes themed 👁️👁️

Happy Liam Day! ❤️ #cosplay #yuumori

Practiced shooting film around London today and very surprised to people approach me saying how awesome it is to see people shooting film. It makes me want to practice more!

More sunlight!! Tomorrow!! Longer evenings!

The gym uploaded photos from last month’s competition as headers for daily workouts & I’m featured today but oh that photo is uh…I really was throwing best effort into my thrusters.

Getting small humans ready for British private school be like: Where is your jumper? Where is the rest of your uniform?? Do you have any clubs today? Make sure you have ____ in your bag. Are there any house activities you need to do this week?

the interior spiral staircase of the Torre dei Lamberti in Verona, Italy

Picking designs for my kendo team jacket and I’m giddy, but most important question is if I should get a larger size so I can wear it with my bogu on

It’s wild to be like “oh yeah I’m taking an evening walk to the bathhouse” but that is my reality now

Can’t wait to show Cam and V the Durham Sanctuary Ring because he’s super neat and slightly foreboding at the same time

I took a Chinese silk painting class today and the instructor told me I’m more versed towards painting bamboo versus flowers 😭

Got to practice with steel swords tonight! These are tameshigiri (cut test swords) with the edge taken off 👍

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

#2025年自分が選ぶ今年の4枚 ガチアクタにハマった年でした。来年もたくさんお絵描きしたいね。

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 😩
