THESE OUTFITS 🔥

[dustofthedailylife]

Our Japan vacation is drawing to a close. We only have about three more days left until we fly home. Japan is truly an awesome country to visit.

I don't ever want to visit again in summer though... and I properly want to learn the language before I visit again 😅

I'll show you all the merch and nerd stuff I bought once I'm back home :3

I also found this today and I was this close 🤏🏻 to just steal Alhaitham and make a run for it.

And here are some other pics from our trip 💕

I have just over a week before I'm in SE asia for 3 weeks so I'm gonna try so hard to get the K/im x H/arry fic I'm working on out of the way before I go 🥲

Also I have, like...tomorrow morning, maybe?? To record my cold blessing wav because it's the last day I have alone for over a month

Was tagged by @oceancamp to post my current five favorite songs! (They should invent a stages-of-grief-esque model that encompasses and accurately describes both types of anguish I had to go through making this list - the one of limiting myself to only five songs, and the one of trying to put as little videogame music on here as possible so that I don't end up looking like an absolute goddamn geek, which... I am... Oh well!)

Thank you so much for tagging me - here are the songs!

Heaven Pierce Her - War Without Reason

Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Space

This specific arrangement of Death And Republic + Meet Again

Winger - Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)

The Protomen - Light Up The Night

Is it courtesy to tag other people after you've been tagged in a post like this? If that's the case, I'll tag @spiralled-fury, @solradguy, @swamppossum, @five-by-five, @northstarring, @ineedmoredragons and @tbonechessor!

SVT coming to Europe for the first time ever in 9 years (not counting Gastonbury, cause that was sold out a year before they were announced, so carats didn't get a chance to go) and it's not even going to be ot13 should be a crime.. AND IT'S BECAUSE OF A SCHEDULE?!

Okay I am still pretty knew to the hanfu community but I want to know: are Hanfu season specific like kimono are? Like would it look strange to wear hanfu with spring flowers on it in fall? I've looked for information on google but I don't find the right information. Obviously kimono is influenced by Hanfu but that seasonal thing could easily be something Japanese specific.

One Room Angel trailer

No hobbies, no friends, no lover. There are a lot of things that Kouki doesn’t have. The story begins when Kouki, an apathetic convenience store worker who struggles to find meaning in his daily life, is stabbed by a random thug. In his dying moments, he sees a beautiful angel with pure white wings. Thinking he was being taken to the afterlife, he is surprised to wake up and find himself fully recovered. When he returns home, he discovers the same angel from before is already there. After learning that the angel has no memories and cannot fly, he takes pity on him and decides to let him stay with him for a while…

help me move to japan with my darling baby girl!

HEY ALL I MADE A GOFUNDME FOR MY HOUSEWARMING LIST FOR ME MOVING TO JAPAN NEXT MONTH.

lulubell’s vet prep bills have been worse than i’d anticipated or budgeted for, plus things are damn expensive nowadays. you know how it is!

i’ll also be running an ebook sale at the end of february, too, if you’d like to participate in that manner/tell others to participate in that manner! (that’s a lot of words for very little money. a lot of words with a sequel coming out later this year...)

if you’d like to throw money directly at me, here is my paypal link, which i’m including only because i got the elusive @skitty username. behold, ye mighty, and despair.

also here is the lulubell collage i made for it! also behold!

i’m still writing on the side, too - i update unintended apotheosis every two weeks, i’m writing a new pokemon fic set in paldea, plus i’m part of two upcoming haikyuu!! zines i’m excited to share but can’t talk about much - and i’m always open for commissions at a rate of $10/1000 words! i do a lot of writing for free and that’ll continue forever because i subsist off of comment validation. but you can support me via writerly money as well!

It's difficult to trust Tumblr suggestions when two of the latest shows everyone here has recommended as masterpieces felt like ehh to me. Like yeah it's great to have adult animation and those are pretty to look at but can we have a story that actually isn't fetishizing a culture or trauma porn ? Can we have actually well written characters ? Like can I fucking have at least two dimensional characters and a world that makes sense please ??
