There’s something so…refreshing? endearing? ‘nostalgia for something you never knew’-provoking?…about DnD derived fantasy material from the 80s like Lodoss and Dragonlance.

There's a neat thing on the internet archive for classic anime and RPG fans: translated transcripts, 'Replays', of the original tabletop sessions between Ryo Mizuno and friends that were serialized in Comptiq magazine and compiled into the original Lodoss War novels. archive.org/details/reco...

"Welcome to the D&D World!" All the beginner's advice you needed to begin your D&D Basic Set adventures in Japan. TSR quested to make inroads there in the mid-80s, bolstered by the serialized play sessions of what would become Lodoss.

that’s so much eyebrow though. when belaf haa eyebrows (which isn’t always), they’re way thinner than that. fake news

onedrive has delivered up to me a very wonky eyed belaf from september 2022 that is a fairly tame piece of art considering what i eventually got up to with Be in later work but which iirc i painted in the grip of an absolute fit of sexual frustration over this creature

Update: now for some reason the 7s say… Traveling in Japan Attention!

Nation’s 56,000 Acres Of Spinach Crops Cooked Down To Single Half-Cup Serving

Feeling a bit dubious about these shoulder rubs.

I’m so bad at crane games

Twitter is seriously bad lately but I saw one of my Japanese mutuals correcting Trump’s dangerous misinfo and felt relieved. It’s probably easier to be taken in by “well, if the American president is saying it...” if you aren’t an American and are not familiar with his history of misinfo.

also i drew this thing with the bi flag colors.

It’s bisexual visibility day, so. Hi! I understand that the stereotypical bi woman is outgoing, promiscuous, and dating a man, so here’s me to change your perception. I’m extremely shy, do not date, and am in no relationship whatsoever. Er, so...hooray, doing my part to break stereotypes~ xD 🩷💜💙

Vueko didn’t deserve all of that. #mia #madeinabyss #vueko

^people who unlocked the zen of abandoning the frustrating void-shouting of posting their r18 fanwork online and switch to solely creating physical doujinshi. (which ebils tragically fail to obtain)

im tired of moving websites lets all get po boxes and start mailing each other porn

and the award for ‘most surprising item at the Bondrewd pop up store‘ goes to. uh. the… official FKMT/MiA crossover merchandise

I think nowhere in the world is equipped to resist the confidence of loud white male Americans .__. (<—quiet brown female American)

Like, this guy is going up to people on the street and talking to them, he has some Japanese but is calling strangers あなた and then asking if he can go in and visit their gardens. And they’re letting him. Not that I’d want to do that, but it must feel amazing to have that much self confidence lmao

I’ve been watching a ton of 「YOUは何しに日本へ」 and I’m kind of really jealous of the confidence and assertiveness and ‘right to go around and enjoy themselves in Japan’ all these other foreigners seem to have in abundance lmao.

(Auction pictures) i was finally able to get the Swiss Belaf button thanks to Mercari! …but the same seller had the Swiss Vueko button too and i failed to snag her 😭 💔 I really need this..and also Vueko’s yura yura stand… I need it… argh, now I’ll have just Waz and Be in both formats. >__<;

Sometimes i think “hm. really need to consider starting dating again” but most of the time i think oh wow no bad idea nope no no no no im fine over here obsessing over my ships and no nope no no nope nope

just eat the bay leaf. nothing matters.

Im always writing stupid things about Vuebela and Wazubela on tumblr in post tags and such and the trouble is like a sum total of three other people on the site care about any of those things but the impression is too hardwired in my brain that tumblr is the place to post kooky shipping nonsense

I just saw someone compare Vueko and Mithrun and that’s so interesting cuz to me Mithrun is like, the most Belaflike character that isn’t Belaf and ive never thought he was like Vueko at all, but i do also always say Vueko and Belaf are more similar than either of them or most fans ever realize

Btw, I’ve always been the kind to try to tell people coming for tourism in Japan or even people simply interacting online in the same fandom, “please do this or that to be polite”, so I’m at my wit’s end at how useless this often seems to be lol. Tons of people just don’t listen…idk what more to do.

since Bsky has the lowest follow count out of all my active social media (Tumblr and Twitter both have 400+ followers and insta has over 1000….) I end up saying vulnerable things on here, but it’s still not good…when i’m in a healthy state of mind I don’t tend to be mopey on social media at all >.>

But it’s hard to imagine feeling at peace and accepted even after I return to the land of my birth. lmao, sorry to make it about MiA like usual but… ”those rejected by our homelands, seeking the golden city…” Lol. I get it, i really, really do.

Anti foreigner/anti immigrant sentiments are of course on the rise here too, and I can’t open twitter without seeing them even from people who are kind to me (it’s honmono and tatemae, I guess). I almost feel like I need a sign saying ”I’ll leave soon, I’m sorry i look like this, don’t hate me!”

The terrifying political news that keeps coming out day by day from America feels like something I’m insulated from due to distance, but it’s still so scary. Many people I care about are there and I’ll be back living there in a few years too.

the millennials yearn for precedented times

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

… oh. i think….that my favorite fic on Pixiv ever was..deleted……. no………. No……………… my whole day is ruined this is devastating

Belatedly realizing I had a near-miss from having a very embarassing interaction at the event yesterday lmao. Nothing bad ended up happening but it’s funny enough that I will tell the story

by the way, i didn’t get tickets in the second round either…sad…would have loved to see Penkin conduct in person. …but again it’s alright because i got to see this January’s beautiful fan concert. please watch it if you haven’t yet. youtube.com/watch?v=5ogn...

No title could be more perfect for my favorite doujin circle event than 憧れが止まらない, “this longing will never end”. Isn’t that the feeling behind the very act of fanwork creation? A longing so neverending that after our favorite characters exited the stage we had to take matters into our own hands...

Can't sleep, too many thoughts. Have a Vueko wip

同人方面に何かがあったかな..? TLの皆さんは話している..けどよく分かりません 他のジャンルに..またはメイアビと関係..? o.o
