Can I ask what amiamis shipping cost is like? The ‘to be determined’ is scaring me off from ordering things (first time amiami shopper)

Hello!! I'll try to be as helpful as I can because while I often use AmiAmi I do that almost always in the same way, so I'm not a big expert in cases that go outside my knowledge. So, sorry in advance for my limited experience!

So, first a disclaimer: I use AmiAmi almost exclusively for small merch items like acrylic stands, keychains and cards, so we're talking about very small stuff that can all fit a small package and doesn't weigh much, even if it's a group of items. I limit myself to 4~6 items per monthly order (except for that huge list ready for October which I have no excuses for, I'm bad at saving money) and almost always manage to stay in the lowest shipping prices tier.

Also, I use the (second) cheapest shipping option the site has to offer, which is Air small packet registered (and that's why I say second most cheap, because there's also the unregistered option but I wouldn't recommend that. The difference is 500 yen but at least imo it's an acceptable exchange, because an unregistered package can't be tracked and I'm not trusting my postal service enough)

The "to be determined" is there because the items are in pre-order and they have to be weighed before they send you the bill with the full price of your order. Here are the shipping rates for Europe, which are the ones that apply to me (but you can check this page to check for other countries). This option takes 2-4 weeks to arrive once shipped.

Basically you place your order and choose the shipping method, and once the items have been weighed they'll send you the full bill (and at that point you can change the shipping method you first chose if you want to). I don't know how it compares to other online stores because I've always used amiami for Japanese goods, and there's also to keep in mind the eventual customs fee (which is 10~20€ in my case).

Note: once you place your order it's not easy to have it cancelled if you change your mind, so keep an eye on that.

Overall I like the site, it's trusted and the customer service is responsive enough. I think shipping from Japan will be a pain no matter where you look when it comes to Japanese sites that ship overseas, but again perhaps I'm just limited in my experience so if anyone has alternatives feel free to let me know about them.

Obsessed with little Lima Bean Baby Dami. I feel like Bruce would pass out from cuteness if he witnessed his child looking like that.

Talia should send Damian's baby pics to Bruce lol

TOXIC YURI ATTACK ‼️‼️

Danny is reading peacefully in his new room at Wayne Manor when there's suddenly a commotion outside his door. Next thing he knows Bruce comes storming through the door.

"Danny did you lie to me about your past!?" he asked calmly.

Tell me your opinions on the stuff. Any stuff.

Grins. Smiles, even

I'm using you as an excuse to infodump my theory about the Island because I've had no in to do that, and my theory is pure opinion. Anyways:

THE ISLAND IS STUCK IN THE FUCKING FUTURE

(SCARE CHORD)

Hi so you might ask me. What the fuck do you mean by that. Well. Let's start with what we know about the Island, the King, and Wish Craft. (long ass post under cut. sorry)

The Island was redacted from the perception of outside world, via Wish Craft.

Wish Craft has the power to enable Time Craft. We see this primarily through Siffrin's timeloops, but also through the King's powers.

One of the King's powers is to show the saviors a "vision of the future."

...And this same attack is deflected back at the King by Mirabelle in ACT 5, in which the King is able to see the Island before being frozen in time.

...So. The King's "vision of the future." We're never told explicitly what this vision is. All we know is that it's apparently powerful enough to wipe the party in one hit, hearing it from a distance hurts your head, and that whatever Siffrin (and Loop) saw, they don't seem to actually be able to describe it. Even the King himself doesn't know what his vision entails.

We don't know whether the party all sees the same thing when struck by the vision, and Adrienne's answer to the question about it in the Reddit AMA is. vague? It's not a "no," and the specific wording makes me think the answer might be yes. But that's me reading into it.

Now. What do we know about the Island's redaction? The Island was affected by the wish recently, as in "like a decade ago" recently. We know that nobody in Vaugarde or the rest of the world is capable of thinking about the Island, anything closely tied to the Island's culture, or people on the Island for very long. When they do recall these things, they slip right out of reach. Particularly, the consequence for trying to think about the Island (or, more specifically, break the wish that forces the Island out of perception) is significant pain, localized in the head.

And that said pain is enough to become lethal, if pressed hard enough.

From here forward I'm running with the assumption that the King's "vision of the future" is not personalized to any individual, and is unchanging throughout the course of the whole story. Now. Remember the end of ACT 5, where the King gets hit with the deflected "vision of the future", and instead of dying, he recalls the Island and gets frozen in time? Very odd, yeah? Why wouldn't the King just die like everyone else does? He even does take 9999 damage when trying to say its name, like Siffrin does, and like the party does when they're hit by the attack.

Well. We know that he has a "true wish" that the ability to freeze Vaugarde in time grants. I don't think it's at all a stretch to guess that the King's "true wish" is to be able to remember the Island. My personal guess is that the King (and Siffrin) brought this "true wish" into effect via the "SAY ITS NAME" sequence- he even tries three times, a significant number in wishing.

The King (and Siffrin's) wish breaks, because it can't be fulfilled in this moment without breaking the wish to prevent the Island from being thought about. However. Consider the conditions at the end of ACT 5- the King sees the vision of the future reflected back to him, and what he sees is the Island. He remembers the Island, fulfilling his own wish, and is frozen in time. I consider this a compromise between his wish and the one binding the Island- the King gets to remember the Island, but nobody alive is able to think about it, because he's frozen in time; it's like the Universe is correcting itself (I WILL GET BACK TO THIS). The wish of all of Vaugarde to defeat the King is fulfilled, since he is no longer a threat, and Siffrin's wish wraps itself up soon after.

MY POINT BEING. The King's attack is a vision of the future. This "future" is of the Island, in some uncorrupted state. The saviors see it when he attacks them, and he sees it when it is deflected back to him.

The logical next question is "okay, so the Island exists in the future, but how do you know time shenanigans are even related to the Island?"

Recall a very odd series of interactions throughout the game, in which you try to interact with a piece of equipment that you already own.

The game rewinds slightly, before the item disappears, as the Universe corrects itself.

This is awfully similar to two particular events: looping back without seeing the death screen, and talking to the Daydreaming One about her sister. The latter is more interesting to me for the purposes of this theory.

In both instances, something is misaligned within the Universe (an item existing in two places, someone remembering something they're not supposed to) and it is corrected through some sort of rewind. Also compare the dialogue above to when you try to give Mirabelle the Stylish Bow when you already own it.

The world glitches, but Siffrin defuses the situation before the Universe has to intervene. Omitted from the screenshot is the fact that Mirabelle's portraits switch to happy from "catastrophically anxious" with no transition after Siffrin shows her where the bow is. Important to note is that when Mirabelle tries to recall receiving the bow, her head hurts, much like how trying to break the Island wish causes a headache.

The Universe leads you away from perception, and you can only follow.

My theory that I keep circling around is that through Wish Craft, the Island has been displaced temporally. The denizens of the Island, as well as the Island itself, still exist, but they are in the future. The Island is still loaded into the world, like how equipment is before you try to interact with it, and the Island cannot leave this quantum state, because it never actually went anywhere. The magnitude of the redaction event is so severe with the Island, because it is so much larger as an entity than a sword or a bow. There are of course things I don't really have pieced together, like why somebody would wish the Island into the future, how far into the future it is, or why equipment behaves this way. But it's the only Island theory I've seen that I have some level of confidence in, so I might as well lay out my cards for it.

"ママは僕よりカッコいい…しかもそっちのママじゃない" (Mama Wa Boku Yori Kakkoi… Shikamo Sotchi No Mama Janai), also shortened to "Mamashika" by fans, is a seinen manga about Scout, the child of a mafia boss (Whitney) and a school teacher (Joanne).

After a string of mysterious circumstances leads to Joanne's death, Scout sets off to the coastal town of Himeji (Hyogo, Japan) to track down her mother's final love-- and Scout's second mother until the age of 3 when she abandoned them-- Whitney. After decades separated from each other, the two of them reunite with the intent to track down Joanne's murderer. Along the way, the two are constantly at odds with each other. Scout is frustrated at Whitney for leaving her and her mother alone in their home country, and Whitney doesn't like that Scout is going as far as she is to insert herself into the investigation surrounding Joanne's death. In their constant aggression, they confront some uncomfortable truths about each other and their trauma, and as the story unfolds they learn things about Joanne that changes the way they see her forever.

Manga publication date: 2009 - 2014 (COMPLETED)

Carnis Au slapped me in the face- I was just browsing tumblr when I ran into a reblog of one of your posts- and…GOD.

I just- it’s so tragic and fucked up that Law never got to-like know Luffy. And now he’s living in his shitty apartment- with this MF (affectionate) who literally-KILLED the dude and I just- I need to know- or at least see- like- did Law ever- yell at Mimic Luffy. I know he’s a paranoid survivor just trying to live in this fucked up reality and not die- but did he snap at the mimic for killing someone like Luffy who was in such a vulnerable position even though it could’ve been expected..? Like maybe he had no right to be mad-cause he didn’t know him-he couldn’t save him-but all that guilt and fear-did it ever build up and he just-yelled at the other? How he’ll never be…Luffy?

i'm glad you like my au!!! 🥰💕 i'm not sure how their first fight would go exactly but i know how it would start!

In TADC, some lines got changed between the dubs

My favourite of which is when Caine asks Bubble "why are you like this?"

According to my friend, in the Ukrainian dub, it got changed to "evolution did not have pity on you" LMAO

THAT LINE IS INFINITELY FUNNIER THAN THE ENGLISH VERSION

this is so bad that people are asking you when your comic updates are so they can sleep.

Yall really SHOULDN'T do that, its messed up, im just speaking from my standpoint but hearing stuff like that i wouldn't even Want to update anymore or announce wips or anything with all this "when is it coming out? can i sleep? can i do this? is it coming out soon?" i mean asking for WIPS of the comic seems fine but asking when its coming out bc its affecting you is wild. and not good. imagine what type of stress that is on a person to know that people arent taking care of themselves until the comic comes out.

idk it feels like some of yall dont know how to act. this comic is a passion project if anything. it just seems. so unhealthy and offputting to deal with this from an audience. idk.

:т

[elodieunderglass]

So for some more details:

- I am fairly time-poor with a huge amount of commitments: Grownup Job Senior Promotion, three small kids on summer holidays/starting school, writing a novel fanfic for sick friend, peak growing/harvest season at allotment, etc. so im only offering “what I can actually deliver” at this time

- swan comic is a new idea, people like those don’t they? Not sure of how fundraising mechanism would work here but maybe taking prompts?

- not sure how essay would work but it’s probably my best/most appealing skill?

- material items in exchange for a minimum fixed amount. So offline I’m most known for material works. I’m not a BAD printmaker / craftworker and for this I would be looking at designing a sort of limited print run of greeting card style original hand printed prints. I know you guys aren’t familiar with this work from me, so this would involve a bit of trust that An Art from me would be worth at least £5 lmao. However it’s kind of nice to get something real in the mail right??

- super worried about fandom auction so this would be mostly a register of interest that I’d take to more experienced people and use as leverage to start an auction; I’m not in a great place to provide much actual legwork here. I also have huge guilt from like 2000-something where someone paid A HUNDRED AND LIKE 20 DOLLARS to charity for earthquake survivors and I DID NOT FINISH THE FIC AND I HAD to write to them, weepingly, apologising forever about it, and they were so graceful, they forgave me and wrote off my fandom auction contribution, but I had never watched the tv show they requested and was in the process of romancing dr glass and it all went SO wrong, this MIGHT heal my scars of shame from fandom auctions generally OR might make them worse. It itvery hard to write fic actually it’s my worst skill pls don’t pick this

Anyway

I will dance like a monkey and get sick kids out of Gaza. What would you like to see most?

If you're still accepting requests, you could draw Cross x Lust?

Hello anon! Definitely still accepting requests! And I need you to know that this request literally short-circuited my brain, because I rendered all of these doodles 🙏

Cross X Lust was Not on my bingo board of things I'd draw, but the combo just settled in my head and felt Super Right and I got to sketching and realized I really liked their energy and just... didn't stop drawing! Thank you SO MUCH for the request! (They give me the vibes of Cross being the one who insists on being chivalrous and very protective, while Lust gets some freedom to relax and be himself and get pampered a bit! Idk if I explained it right, but it makes sense in my brain-)
