I mean, we see them doing so in filler so much. But it only ever seems to be the Lieutenants and Captains, especially with all the special permissions I recall that you need to go there. So imo, the World of the Living is where the richer/more influencial people go on vacation, and everyone else goes to the local nice spots like camping in forests in the Rukon, visiting family, just taking time off to read, stuff like that

Looking at the gate names of Seireitei makes me think that, if they are named after landmarks that are in each cardinal direction, there's at least a river in one and a moutain in the other. Idk if the Soul Society has any oceans, but a river can mean swimming and watersports anyway, and a moutain can mean hiking, retreats, maybe stuff like hunting too idk

Do you think shinigamis go to vacation in the world of the living? Because it doesn't look like there are any nice spots in soul society.

We report on a day when the cloud cover is thick, has not budged all day; yet the sunshine has found a way down here. When we stand still, we hear the summer insects living their summer lives, even on this windy, cloudy day. The crickets jump in front of our feet.

I never thought the day would come but I finally finished this comic. I never want to make a full color comic ever again, at least with any expectation of finishing it even remotely promptly:D

A light warning: the first page dips into some uncomfortable territory - Mayuri feeling grief/guilt over Nemu, who is very recently deceased (it picks up where the scene leaves him after Pernida fight, passing out in one of those regenerative pods). That being said, there's nothing too shocking as far as violence or whatever so I'm not going to put it under a cut. Like, the tone gets lighter after the first page and is probably more comedic than you might expect.

What else... I flubbed some minor details like Mayuri's sleeve not being ripped but omg Who Care... I also forgot what the regenerative pods looked like and had to change them for this comic to even work? Like they very much do not have windows smh. Also idfk if or how they fill with liquid, so didn't bother. I didn't see Hitsugaya awkwardly sloshing away in his boots so idk about that anyway

Lastly, feels redundant to say this, but comments bashing Mayuri or 'condemning his actions' will be deleted (and I'll probably block the commenter lol). I made this comic bc I needed something to keep my mind off The Horrors in recent months, not bc I'm making some.. profound statement about his character. If I were to make a statement, it would be: he is not real:p

It reads from left to right, enjoy<3

heehehhooo i don't think i told anyone it was Kenmayu, so am feeling quite sneaky>:3c

Edit: if some of the pages are hard to follow, I divided every page in half for some fn reason- so read across the top half first, then the bottom half. Is more obvious on some pages than others, I'm just now realizing

Drew Anya again! Ik I’ve draw her like 4 times now, but she deserves it

The 2025 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 12th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 30th August 2025.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

If you can't wait for survey numbers, you can click here for a public spreadsheet of non-secret info with graphs as it comes in, updated manually a few times per day.

Thank you so much!

First of all thank you dearly

Second, oh it’s already happening, just you wait. My obsession with the distortion does not stop with the twink

i think it's really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it's just totally unheard of. it's the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book
