I forgot to mention it but @berlingotesque and I made a projectionnist cosplay 👌🏻✨ We started to make the cosplay back in December 2021 and we finished it the day before the beginning of the Japan Expo 2022 (Paris), that is to say in July lmao. It was our first cosplay and I must admit that we are rather proud of it haha. I occasionally wear it in various events (Harajuku, Paris Manga) so if you see me, come and say hi to me !

we also met a beautiful Bendy! He was super nice and very kind, his username is @laetisquid on Instagram, shout out to him ✨

And finally we’ve met this guy cosplayed as Ciel (black butler) and he absolutely wanted to try on the Projectionnist’s head. So now I have these wonderful pictures and I can't stop think about an BatIM AU! where everything is the same except that Norman is dressed like this.

[kiwie-not-kiwi]

Sorry for my silence since some weeks, I’m super happy to post here again ! I worked very hard on some new merch projects ! 🤯

These babies will be ready to go together in their new home at Japan Expo and on my shop this summer ! 💕☀️🥰

Je suis contente pour toi :3

J'espère que ça vas mieux depuis qu'on c'est parler. Tu as finis aromantic love story finalement ?

Il y a des yuri ou elles sont ace comme dans la belle et la racaille et l'amour au menu qui sortent chez Akata

Heyyy ! Ça va un peu mieux déjà oui, merci TwT J'espère que tu vas bien aussi !

Je n'ai pas encore fini Aromantic Love Story (je suis méga-lente) mais j'ai la pile de mangas à côté de moi sur mon lit, c'est mon objectif de lecture du mois èwé (...Sérieusement je suis beaucoup trop lente)

Merci aussi pour les autres recos, je suis très difficile sur mes lectures donc pour le coup je ne suis pas sûre d'y jeter un œil super-vite pour être très honnête TwT Mais c'est toujours bon à savoir !

Et oui, je vais à la Japan Expo cette année, on sera au stand S662 avec Better Together comme d'habitude^^

Pour la pride... Peut-être ! Y en a qu'une seule jusqu'à présent dans laquelle je me sens à l'aise, la Pride des banlieues de Saint-Denis, c'est typiquement le genre de pride qui coche mes cases de "less like a party, more like a protest" et où les gens que j'y voient risquent moins d'intimider et plus de résonner avec la sex-repulsed que je suis... Bon après je ne suis pas allée à énormément de prides, ça me rassure jamais non plus (again, le côté sex-repulsed qui ne facilite pas les choses parfois), mais celle-là me parle énormément.

Après... Ouaip, c'est très personnel dans l'ensemble. Donc c'est juste mon expérience!

Hi! Anime Expo 2024!!

Title: Hi! Anime Expo 2024!!

Where we will be heading to the signing event in July 2024

Outside: See you later.

is Los Angeles, United States!!

The editors who will be coming with me this time are...

the usual slim glutton M-da-kun,

the considerate and quiet H-gata-kun,

Y-no-san with the face of a saing yet with the heart of Enma

and the closeted otaku(?) and beautiful K-tou-san..

So, the United States are ridiculously large. (I also mentioned it on the Volume 18 flap.)

The faraway scenery is really far away.

Anyway, let's have a meal first.

Outside: Eep.

Here it is, ther Americal steak!!!

Moreover, its mega size sure packs a real punch.

We can eat it as much as we can!!

Its cooking and chewiness are the best.

As expeted of the home of steak.

30 minutes later...

After this... let's drink... alcohol...

Vegetables... I wanna eat them.

Old men in their 50's like us are nearing their limits.

Just as expected, the younger people aren't having any issues at all.

I can come here any day.

Arrow: Especially him. In terms of kilos of meat eatedn from the start, it's like eating up a cake. Such a strong guy.

Without a care in the world, the heavy-drinker K-tou-san is drinking nothing but wine.

Delicious.

Y-no-san was told by his dentist to abstain from eating sweets yet also gumped down wine.

He is sure to give me an earful...

I gave in so quickly and kept on drinking whiskey. I ended up having a hangover for two days.

Outside: Something... something sour...

Ah, I've got dried plums.

Gimme one.

Well now, let's go have a fun tour next!

Outside: Yeah.

Hollywood!!!

Just walking in the town makes me all excited!♬

The Chinese Theater!!

So cool!!

The hand and footprints and signatores of Hollywood stars.

Schwarzie's hands and feet are huge!!!

The Hollywood sign...

So small.

was hella far away...

Madam Tussauds wax museum was awesome.

Outside: Getting kicked by Bruce Lee,

Outside: stopping his kick with my fingers,

Hah.

Outside: getting grabbed by King Kong,

Outside: H-gata-kun recreating edward Scissorhands' famous scene.

We took plenty of silly photographies.

And then, we went to the Santa Monica beach pier on a separate day.

This kinda feels like an amusement park.

Guys, it's hot so how about having ice cream?

We ate granulated and super-rich ice-creams on a lively pier... (What a name for the ice-cream...)

Outside: Yummy!

Japan is over there several thousands of kilometers away...

After that, an incident happened.

H-gata-kun was merrily playing ona swing set up along the beach.

What kind of miracle happened when he got off it?

The swing's chain ripped off every button on his shirt except the topmost one!!

What the heck are you doing!!?

Y-no-san, who joined us later, teased him about it.

You were eager to show that blonde beauty how cool you were, right?

Outside: H-gata-kun, you're such a pervert.

N... no, no. I didn't go on the swing to act cool. I'm a pervert though...

Outside: Yep, yep.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised from him.

Outside: Yep, yep.

As an aftertaste episode,

A parent and a child came to talk to us in the middle of strolling,

it turns out that they came to bring us the accessory K-tou-san dropped.

It was a very heartwarming scene.

We went on and visited Paramount Studios

Center: Bumblebee

Right: The bench from Forrest Gump

This is the best.

and saw the area where the cast actually lived.

We also watched a Dodgers match in Dodgers Stadium.

M-da-kun quite enjoyed it despite not being a sports enthusiast.

...I digress here but my biggest blunder all trip long was that I forgot my watch. (Seriously yes.)

There are no clocks in the hotel, not even in rooms. The time on the TV wasn't displaying correctly...

I should get a smartphone soon...

Well, whatever! Let's put it aside and get going to the event!

You know, it's retty important for me!!

Yes, yes, let's go, let's go.

Then it's about time to go to the Anime Expo!!

AX for short!!!!

I took part in the signing event

to give interviews and talk events online.

I drew the eye on the daruma at the opening ceremony.

I hesitated to draw the Dragon's Sin of Wrath emblem but I chose the pig instead...

Lee Kapi-san, who's my translator for the talk event,

Outside: I love Punisuke.

has been my fan since my debut work. I feel grateful.

And then came the signing event that spanned over three days...

Outside: Topless apron Ban!!

Really passionate fans came to me. Oh God, I'm so happy!!

Among them, there were strong people who got the ticks for all three days.

Day 1: Meliodas.

Day 2: Elizabeth.

Day 3: Hawk.

They had me complete signings on one carboard sheet...

A guy cosplaying as Pellegarde

came with his girlfriend who cosplayed as Arthur.

The quality is amazing.

Moreover, on the following day, there were Escanor and Meliodas cosplays...!!

That couple was very intimate.

Also, I'm still preciously wearing

the Dodgers cap that a fan gave me.

Outside: The local old man seems like a supporter.

I'm really

glad I came.

There were a bunch of parts I had to omit due to the page restrictions but in any case, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you so much, Americans!!

I'mm come back next time with medicine for the stomach...

THE END

Bandai Japan Announces MYAKU-MYAKU Tamagotchi Original

Another collaboration Tamagotchi Original! Bandai Japan has announced that they’ve collaborated with the Osaka Kansai Expo to deliver two unique Tamagotchi Original’s. The Osaka Kansai Expo is an international exhibition held every five years where nations showcase their lates and best inventions and innovations across a wide range of industries. The next exhibit is scheduled for Sunday, April 13th, 2025 through Monday, October 13th, 2025.

MYAKU-MYAKU is the official mascot of the Osaka Kansai Expo, which is present on both shells.

The first shell titled MYAKU-MYAKU Comic Book looks like the comic book shells we’ve seen int eh past but in red, white, and blue and based on MYAKU-MYAKU. Super cute, and features P1 programming.

The second shell is titled MYAKU-MYAKU Neon, which features a dark blue sparkly shell and some neon graphics and the Expo 2025 logo along with Osaka by the buttons. Love this one, and it features P2 programming.

Both shells will be available for purchase on Saturday, September 7th, 2024.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #282

Today started out normally. But it ended kind of weird.

J made a bunch of rice not too long ago. Like… a bunch of rice. And on the day we went to the reptile and arthropod expo, we also went to the local food co-op on the way home, because J was hungry. Not being one to pass up opportunities, I decided to snag some natto while I was there. But there were three different kinds, and I couldn't choose, and so in my typical style, I decided "fuck it" and got all three…

...Here's what the contents look like:

...Hey, Sephiroth? Do you like natto? I've heard that it's a very polarizing food; in my part of the world, people usually either really hate it or love it a lot, with very little in between, or so I've heard. I wonder what you think...

Normally, in my part of the world, one gets natto by going to the frozen foods section of the Asian grocery store, if there is one. I live in a place that's pretty diverse (and it's AWESOME), so we have Asian grocery stores, Middle Eastern grocery stores, and Hispanic grocery stores, too. We might have more, but... maybe I didn't find them yet. My city isn't as diversified as New York City, but it's still pretty good. Pretty good...

Well anyway. I don't really like the frozen natto by itself; it's really good mixed with rice, for sure!! But this stuff that comes in these jars... I could just eat it with a spoon. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that it hasn't been frozen first. I wouldn't know. Maybe someday, I should go to Japan and see what natto is like over there; I imagine it's oodles better than whatever we have over where I live!

Anyway, we had a bunch of rice, and we had bacon, because I got some from the local convenience store chain on my way home from therapy on Tuesday; M had left the car in a state with low tire pressure and low gas, so I figured the thing to do was to take care of it before coming home, and the convenience store chain called Stewart's (unique to my region!) has gasoline and free air, and also snacks.

So... after doing the whole "responsible adult thing", I decided I get to have snacks. And I went inside the Stewart's, but nothing appealed to me, so I just got a Birthday Cake Shake for M and a chocolate milkshake for J; Stewart's sells these in bottles, and they're really good! And then I saw the bacon, and since we already had rice, eggs, and natto, I decided to get it! And today, I had enough time and energy to prepare it! So that's what I did!

I like to bake bacon in the oven; it's super convenient that way, and you don't get grease splattering everywhere, and it's easy to get it to cook evenly that way. It's just a matter of arranging it on a baking sheet with some parchment paper...

...You stick it in an oven at 400 degrees F (or 204.4 degrees C) for about 25 minutes, depending on how crispy you like it.

Here's how it turned out!

...And if you're wondering what I did with all that rendered fat? Of course, I put it in a jar!

...I used some of it to cook eggs with nice, runny yolks::

...I also used some to fry up some leftover rice, with all three of the different kinds of natto mixed in:

...The result was an epic bowl of deliciousness! Want some...?

...I spent most of the rest of the day playing Dead Cells. I managed to defeat The Hand of the King in the training room with only 4 Brutality, 4 Tactics, and 22 Survival, for 8 points less than the recommended total; my damage multiplier was less than half of what it should have been, while using a play style that is not well-suited for him, and I smashed him up anyways. If I reach him in one of my next runs, he's gonna be in BIG trouble, lemme tell ya!!

I also made chicken leg quarters today - y'know, the same recipe that I've shown you at least twice before. It's a classic for a reason, haha! I was able to serve it up with some leftover broccoli and carrots that J cooked up the other day, as well as the mashed pumpkin I made yesterday. It was good stuff!!! But I didn't think to take any pictures for you; I'm sorry about that.

And here's where it gets weird.

So... M, and J, and I were supposed to go see that Wild Robot movie today, at 7:10. But when we got to the door of the building, there was a pigeon chilling out there, on the ground. It's weird to see pigeons on the ground this late at night. And it wasn't very mobile; it looked kinda haggard, and it seemed sluggish.

...Well. If you've been reading my letters up until this point, you already know where this is going. You already know that I couldn't just leave it there like that. So I didn't. Needless to say, we ended up not seeing the movie in favor of prioritizing the safety of the pigeon.

The nearby animal hospital is closed this late at night, though. We decided to put it in the upstairs bathroom so that it can have space to move, without any risk of our cats getting to it. We put it in the bathtub with a towel for some soft bedding; we expect that it'll poop, and a towel and a bathtub are easy to clean:

...I think it has some kind of respiratory illness. When I tried to reach out to pet it, it made a weird squeaking wheeze; that's not a normal sound for a pigeon.

We're going to bring it to the nearby animal hospital first thing in the morning; they open at 7:30am. They treat wild creatures. Pigeons are technically not wild; they are feral. They used to be human companions before they were discarded as though they are worthless. Nowadays, despite the fact that they used to be friends to humans, they are treated like filthy, disgusting nuisances; it's not fair. I guess I have a bit of a soft spot for them as a result.

...They deserved so much better than this...

And before you ask - yes, we know better than to give it any food or water; we don't know what's wrong with it, and the last thing we need is to give it things to put into its stomach, only to have it choke on its own vomit or something later. No harm will come to it if it goes to bed without dinner; don't worry.

...I just hope that whatever it's sick with is curable, and that it's not on its last legs. But it being on its last legs seems unlikely; it's still cognizant enough to recognize me as a threat, even if it was too weak to get away. That's probably a good sign. We dimmed the lights in the bathroom and closed the door; it's someplace quiet, safe, and warm. Even if it passes away in the night, it'll still be better than passing away on cold, hard pavement on a chilly autumn evening.

...Incidentally, this will be the third sick pigeon I've pulled off the streets of my city. One of them recovered after being sent to the animal hospital. The other one was sick with some kind of digestive system issue; that one didn't make it even after we sent it to the animal hospital, but at least it didn't have to spend its final moments on the pavement in the cold, snowy December air - back when Decembers in my region used to actually be properly cold.

I'm really glad that M and J don't get upset with me for the fact that I can't do nothing when I see something in trouble. I've had partners in the past who would roll their eyes at me and scold me for caring. The people I was raised by were the sorts of people who would roll their eyes at me and scold me for caring. I can still almost hear them: "It's just a stupid fucking pigeon; you're gonna make us miss a movie for a stupid fucking pigeon?" Or else call me gross for being willing to wrap a "dirty" animal in my cardigan. and try to keep it safe.

...But you know. This sort of thing, besides how great they are at maintaining a comfortable temperature for my body and keeping my pasty white ass safe from the sun, is exactly why I wear them. Like your long coat, it's a utility item. It becomes a backpack, a towel, a pillow, a wrap, and whatever else I can think of in a pinch.

...Anyway, I'm really glad that I'm not around people who will scold me for having basic empathy anymore. We can see the movie tomorrow.

...Well. If we're gonna get to the animal hospital right as it opens, I need to be up early - to the tune of 6:30am. It's already almost 9; I had better get ready for bed. Maybe if I still have a few moments after my CPAP is washed and my teeth are brushed, I'll play a little more Dead Cells.

I'll leave this here just in case:

I love you. So please do stay safe out there, okay? Please come back home to us in one piece. Both your world and my world need you.

I'll write again tomorrow.

Your friend, Lumine

Given how “unique” a Miku concert would be I’m surprised Crypton themselves didn’t send some team members or equipment personally to make sure things are set up right bc other than some performers that might hide their face/wear disguises idk how many usual concert locations have something prepped for “holo” projections compared to Japan and their Vtuber boom (although I’d rather buy a plushie from a booth but hopefully at least the theatres would have good sound quality)

Sucks for any workers scrambling and getting hate/hope it doesn’t affect the sales of any other indie ppl performing their concerts

The weird thing is it worked before. I went to miku Expo 2018 in cologne and 2020 in Berlin. Both times it was an actual hologram concert with the same band as magical Mirai. Neither of these two locations had a concert like this before, I'm pretty sure. All of the equipment must've been toured around with thew Miku Expo crew. Going against advertising and expectations (basically all of these concerts, and like all of them in recent years were holographic) without notifying buyers beforehand and also not even afterwards when people keep asking is, to put it lightly, customer unfriendly at best and a scam at worst.

I arrived a bit late in 2018 since I only had standard so I don't know how it was there, but in 2020 people went around giving out free stickers and badges, or general stuff they got from other miku events. One of them seemed to be a huge meiko fan so when she gifted me something I gave her the meiko badge I got from the random gacha button bags. Stuff like that really made it feel like a community coming together, so reading that giving out badges, stickers, etc. wasn't allowed this year, even for people who specifically got an okay from cfm and also got their stuff stolen from is surreal.

I had vip in 2020 and as far as I know everyone got their vip merchandise, which doesn't seem to be the case this year, which makes no sense because you would know how many people at this location have the vip ticket. Another thing I read is that vip ticket holders were supposed to be let in earlier for merchandise and the concert hall but it didn't happen, which also worked flawlessly before in my experience.

Merchandise being not enough for everyone is sadly not new, I was in line for it in 2018 and when I was three people away the store people shouted they were all sold out, which was very much a bummer but I thankfully bought the penlight and t-shirt beforehand in the online store so it wasn't too bad for me and as I said I was quite late to the so definitely in the latter half of the people that got in. Still should've been more but I would chalk it up to being the first concert in Europe and them not having expected such a huge crowd maybe. How this is still the case 6 years later and in America where there were concerts way before 2018 is beyond me.

I don't know if this is because of crunchyroll (it probably is tho) but I can't say cfm is innocent either since they partnered with them and it's their job to ensure everything is up to standard, which clearly didn't happen.

For me, I was really happy to hear there was going to be a Europe one again, especially since I really loved it, it is such a magical experience so the last year's being online only made me super sad since it isn't the same in the slightest, but seeing it's also partnered with crunchyroll I decided against it. It's because I loved it so much that it really saddens me to see what is currently going on (also probably why I wrote so much, very sorry). Miku Expo is one of the best, magical and insane events you can go to as a vocaloid/piaproloid fan and I wish for all fans, people who've been in the Fandom longer and already have been to Miku Expo, and newer fans that didn't have the chance yet, to have that same experience but this is not it. This being someone's first miku expo experience is just a sad thing to think about considering what a massive downgrade the experience is. I hope there will be official statements soon and that the people who are currently experiencing it still have a good time.
