There's some science to February's bonus day!!
Every four years, during a leap year, the imperfect match between the length of a calendar year and Earth's orbit result in a calendar adjustment known as a leap day.
The length of a year is based on how long it takes a planet to revolve around the Sun. Earth takes about 365.2422 days to make one revolution around the Sun. That's about six hours longer than the 365 days that we typically include in a calendar year. As a result, every four years we have about 24 extra hours that we add to the calendar at the end of February in the form of leap day.
Without leap day, the dates of annual events, such as equinoxes and solstices, would slowly shift to later in the year, changing the dates of each season. After only a century without leap day, summer wouldn't start until mid-July!

Remember when I used to draw Free! Fanart? Yeah... :")
A bit too uncanny even for me…the Tanuki theme, gold bracelets being mismatched, the same way, the pants patterns, overall outfit colours, the toe/finger nails, the wink, glove length etc. Individually, I'm aware I don't own any of these concepts ofc; but put together like this…is a bit sus )x
thank you to the person who DMed me to let me know about this :( although there isn't much I can do about it i don't think other than maybe call attention to it
I also verified it is official merch, I found it on amiami for preorder which only makes it more disappointing
just to clarify, no hate on amiami or any online store who just sell anime goods; they are probably unaware, I just used it to confirm that this item was official/real But def shame on the company who designed this, listed as "Revolve" for this item
