Sometimes I remember that Twisted Wonderland exists. And that I was into it.

And then I remember…

I was into twisted wonderland.

I had a great day. I stopped in at a local store that's quite literally a historic landmark. As I went in, this cute little orange cat tried to follow me. I said, "I don't know if you're allowed in," but the cashier told me she was. So kitty followed me inside, and she was super friendly. When I went to buy my stuff, she jumped on the counter and nuzzled me. I had to stay a few extra minutes just to pet her. It totally brightened the rest of my day.

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

ons chapter 129 is so confusing. Yuu is Mikaela? So the yuu that we knew from the very start is angel mikaela? So who is this human/vampire/demon mikaela? And what is his purpose? Is he still a vessel? Do we really have a yuu?

It's Yana Toboso's birthday! (January 24, 1984)

Yana forgot her birthday this year...

... so there's even more reason to congratulate her and celebrate!

Some trivia:

She chose her penname "Yana Toboso" to indicate what kind of manga she wanted to create: Because there are so many mangas whose central themes are dreams, hope, friendship, and love, she wanted to make a manga whose focus is the opposite. "Yana" derives from "iya" (unpleasant, detestable, disagreeable; here: unpleasant/nasty child), and "toboso" is meant to signify importance: a "toboso" is a cavity in the frame of a door used as part of a pivot hinge; as doors wouldn't work without hinges, hinges are important objects. "Yana Toboso," therefore, is meant to mean "the hated/bad child is in the middle" (憎まれっ子がど真ん中にく る). (Character Guide, page 146)

Yana once stated that Ciel resembles her the most out of her characters. (Character Guide, page 147)

*cough* Obviously.

Exhibit A:

(Downstairs with Kuroshitsuji VII, from Volume 17)

(Chapter 76)

Exhibit B: The iconic Pancake Saga from 2018!

Yana's grandmother encouraged her to become a mangaka, and her mother pushed her to submit her work to a publisher when she was 20. Both have since passed away. (sources: akumadeenglish, The Japan Times)

She is a fan of the band L'Arc-en-Ciel (source). HYDE, the vocalist of that band, wrote the opening for Season 5. Yana was obviously very happy about that!

Yana contemplated making "fluffy spin-offs" to Kuroshitsuji, e.g., "a gourmet manga featuring the canteen of the Shinigami dispatch association HQ, or a manga where the Indian butler cooks curry or the black butler makes sweets, or where the servants make small discoveries." However, she dropped those ideas because her "fluffy concepts" kept becoming ominous after a few chapters. (source)

Kuroshitsuji was not meant to be set in 19th-century England from the beginning. Mr. K and the chief editor eventually suggested England as the setting. Yana, who did not know much about England (and could not find many materials early on; source: Downstairs with Kuroshitsuji II in Volume 2), especially not about 19th-century England, and did not believe the manga would be a hit anyway, then cooked up the wonderfully anachronistic Volume 1. Since then, Yana has become more knowledgeable about Victorian England, got a historical advisor (Rico Murakami) who also, sometimes, translates sources for her (source: Downstairs with Kuroshitsuji Special in Volume 15), has been (re-)learning English, and visited England twice. The manga has, thus, become significantly more historically accurate over the years. Still, as it's a fantasy manga, Yana likes to incorporate anachronistic elements for story purposes (e.g. Grim Reaper tech and possessions, Wolfsschlucht) anyway (or simply because she wants to; e.g. the idol groups, I suppose). Anachronisms have, thus, shifted from accidental to deliberate.

Sebastian's mobile phone will be forever iconic, but it has been retconned for over a decade now.

And The Wild Earl lost more than his head was cancelled when all TVs were thrown out of the continuity with the end of the Indian Butler Arc (TVs are last mentioned in Chapter 23).

May we learn many Victorian things alongside Yana in the next years too!

(Downstairs with Kuroshitsuji II, Volume 2)

And may she have a happy, restful birthday so that she doesn't forget it again^^' (And the best of health^^)

so real I love ayutama😭😭

Shanks, Mihawk and Buggy are such a trio.

Shanks is the sun, Mihawk the moon and Buggy the star. View it this way:

Shanks not only is this charismatic, free person that is more than willing to guide you and is loved by everyone, but is also someone that sometimes shines too much blinding you, exhausting you, burning you, and he himself is burning out.

Mihawk is the type of person to prefer the shadows, doesn't matter if you can't see him he is there, watching you, but unfortunately the sun found him, reviling his presence to everyone to admire and to fear, and while he appreciates the sun and their time together sometimes it becomes too much, so it becomes a cicle of shinning too much and not shinning at all.

Buggy is someone who is all over the place, many lies, many personas, many tricks, but never quite the one thing he wished for, and that was to be sun, he never shined as brightly as the sun. But he doesn't realize that is not a bad thing, because his small light surprisingly inspires the ones that don't want the sun, because of all the space that he covers anyone can be with him and his light will not exhaust them.

And surprisingly, if you were to look at Buggy in a certain way, in a certain place, he would stop being the star to be the sun.

PRINCESS GARÇON!!!!!! my favorite manifestation of adrien's insecurities everrrrr <3333 horrible little maladaptive superego my beloved.

[ceoandslutler]

no way this anti just used the r slur after saying "i AM the righteous person" 😭😭😭

also this is about shota oni, a cute little manga that has yet to contain any explicit sexual content (and i doubt it will)

person reading a manga about a shota and his childhood friend (a teenager): are you illiterate? there is shota in the title. why are you bothering people who read this? just click off!

anti: can you imagine what goes on in the author's brain when they write this, dumb fuck? THOUGHT CRIMES (THAT I AM NOT SURE ACTUALLY OCCUR)

also the obsession with being righteous is actually so pathetic im sorry, imagine unironically saying "im the righteous one" like ok, lets hope you don't get your hands on a death note, good god

[shinigami-mistress]

For the last few nights, a coyote has walked through my yard, next to the porch.

I decided my nocturnal neighbor needs a name.

What should I name it?

[flowerakatsuka]

some doodles based on the gender thoughts i've been having about kuroba the past few days, mostly on how their appearance changed between middle school and their final year of high school. i also thought it'd be funny if kuroba didn't get recognized by classmates while they were helping at the flower shop back then, ( foreshadowing ig. )

water of the womb.

now that i think abt it this can kinda function as an unintentional companion piece to this thing! if i had a nickel for every time i drew a kuron piece that involved fetuses et cetera et cetera

[plague-of-insomnia]

so you’ve probably noticed i’ve been reblogging a lot more fashion posts lately (esp japanese fashion, victorian fashion, and fashion of the 1910-30s)

I’ve always loved fashion as an aesthetic and I’ve stumbled on so many really amazing blogs recently, and I had needed to stop archiving kuro bc my queue was full, so one thing led to another….

Anyway, point is, I label them all but most won’t get the “not kuro” tag since they’ll be inspo for a kuro au or have a kuro aesthetic bc of the period

however if you want me to use a specific consistent tag for all of these so you can filter them, let me know, bc there will be a lot more of them most likely
