guess i was full trippin when i said i wasn't going to show my miku design. just cuz i dont know how this'll be taken? or if it's already been done? this isn't even heavy cultural wear or anything, this is just like average indo high school girl miku, like she helps out with the family business warteg and that's it pretty much.
whatever reception i get for this post won't ever stop me from making dangdut miku next, though. i have this vision
also here's Motor Miku by herself because it's my first time drawing a motorcycle
when toshiro got on laios ass for being inconsiderate and never thinking about how his actions affect others like he was mean abt it but hes not wrong. Thats a pretty major character flaw and a pattern of behavior for laios — w not choosing jobs that made money for namari who is in a pretty dire financial situation where she cant even get off the island and has to go adventuring in the dungeon to get out of debt, who even explicitly brought this up, eating marcilles familiar immediately even tho she was attached to it, kidnapping shuro into his party and putting him in life threatening situations without like really checking he wanted to be there…?, wanting to see if izutsumi has more than one set of nipples when dehumanization is a HUGE huge issue for her the list goes on and on and on. Like when a friend does this to you its just kinda annoying but when ur the leader u really should be checking if everyones needs r met without them telling u. Like the autism plays a factor for sure, his cultural upbringing plays a factor for sure, but as ppl regardless I think u gotta step up to meet the needs of ppl in the moment or realize u shouldnt be calling the shots. just bc its influenced by factors out of ur control does not make it not a serious character flaw. And its written as such in the story.

Unfortunately, Blaine, the pretentious son of Burt’s ex-wife, is in Lima to intern for Burt’s congressional reelection campaign, and Kurt is stuck dealing with him until the election is over.

cheng xiaoshi: speaking of which, the first time we met was also on a basketball court, wasn't it?
lu guang: it was.
cheng xiaoshi: (half-jokingly) you and i weren't meant to be [lit. "originally have no fate"?]. this is all because of one basketball.
lu guang: i really shouldn't have agreed to play that match.
(the important bits are from google translate because i am bad at mandarin. also i did transcribe this off just the audio + i don't have access to captions or know where to find official transcripts. so i hope i got this right 🙏)
yesterday i helped my professor move into his new office by carrying his books. there were four huge bookcases filled to the brim with academic magazines, books on law and economics and philosophy. each book had a story behind it that i was eager to unveil. my professor was also eager to share them; you could see his eyes light up when he grabbed each book and told us about his time studying some 20 years ago and this new book he is writing and how he has even more books (!!) back at home. i was honoured to be cradling these books and memories and carefully placing them into their new home. despite the labour and the intense greek heat, i felt enlightened. this man has so much knowledge to share. i caught my self thinking multiple times throughout the day, the moments when the books became too heavy to carry and my muscles began to hurt, that one day i can also turn into that. if i just persist.

Part five in my "Songs I associate with different characters" series, and also technically my first animatic! The editing is hot garbage because my editing skills and video making software...aren't great, but I'm proud of it regardless.
(this took me sixteen hours, I keep spending more and more time on this series, please help me-)
