hey uh do you have any advice for getting into zine making? especially like the kind of multimedia/collage ones? idk i think they're cool and i maybe want to start making some but i dont know how to start
start with scraps! receipts, tickets, offcuts, etc. takes the pressure off a bit. my first collage zine was put together with receipts and packaging cutouts! it was just about my groceries
you could do something like that. orrr collect some bits and bobs to cut/tear some shapes and stick them onto the pages. very simple but it could be a way to try out different ways of securing them, like using stitch, staples, tape. most of the time its to get a fun effect, but also glue isn't always enough. like i had to sew the netting in the 2nd image ^
tbh i find it kinda hard to give advice with multimedia/collage because for me, it's very much just jumping straight into it. if i think about it too much i get Extremely caught up in details and it's not fun, but you might work better with more planning! also don't be scared to rip or cover something if it's not working. done that many times 👍

reading dazai, chuuya, age fifteen for the finally and now i'm just mad i didn't read it earlier like
first of all why does this have the best first chapter of all time ever like this french waiter lookin ass nameless grunt looks like he smakes cigars and shotguns with hiroutsu tell me i'm wrong you can't
and chuuya chuuya chuuya chuuya chUUYA OH MY BELOVED i am suddenly personally connected with dazai on a spiritual level because i too would become obsessed with this dude if he stomped on my face. i'm already obsessed without him stomping on my face.
ALSO WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS WHY IS THE ENTIRE FANDOM SLEEPING ON THESE PANELS
"what's wrong? i'm just on my tippy toes" chuuya sweetie i am going to go fucking FERAL

it hasn't been that long but as I said vv brainrot will never let you go. I didn't catch it in ep 1 but ep 2, I was just crazy about puentalay dynamics that mork and day radiated.
you can't understand me (day to mork, puen to talay)
why are you shirtless (poor talay asked about it more than once)
get out of my room (tess-talay expelling puen)
how old are you (not again, guys)
you don't want to know what I look like (I'm already dreaming of vice versa, sure)
watching a movie and wasted food that ended up on the floor (poor staff who have to clean it up again)
scary huh (puentalay are here and no one will convince me, even the way day pushed mork gives puentalay)
calling day (calling talay in the ambulance)
after an argument, someone tells the character sea where to look for the character jimmy (neo; namtan)
a ride on a moped (thank god for the absence of yamaha)
mork talks at the aquarium in a soft voice (as if jigsaw is standing nearby)
we have to give the fish a name (let's call the palette by your name - rawi palette)
the way day got nervous after mork's words about loneliness reminded me of puen and talay's date at a jazz restaurant, where puen said he remembered all the lines of the "mascot of friends credits", talay was so nervous at that moment
IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THAT LONG BUT VICE VERSA BRAINROT ANON MY BELOVED I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
i agree with you that during episode 1 there weren't that many moments that reminded me of vice versa, tho i have to admit i did not quite realized just how many things puen and mork have in common. jimmy really sees a bisexual character with dead parents who gets arrested at least once throughout the show and looks at sea's character with a love so deep and encompassing it strikes you almost like a physical blow to the gut and he's like THAT'S MY TRUE CALLING (also fun fact for anyone who doesn't know it: in the vice versa novel puen has a sister too)
EPISODE 2 THO!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT PUENTALAY'S SPIRITS WERE THERE I FELT THEM IN THE EARTH I FELT THEM IN THE AIR AND THEY GOT ME SOBBING ON MY KNEES!!!!!!! THE MOVIE SCENE WAS SO INSANE LIKE THAT PLAYFULNESS?????? THAT'S JUST PUENTALAY IN A NUTSHELL!!!!!!!!! you honestly got so many parallels, some of which i didn't even think about (THE 'MORK YELLING FOR DAY AND PUEN YELLING FOR TALAY' ONE HAD ME CRAWLING THROUGH SHARDS OF GLASSES THANKS FOR REMINDING ME), but may i also submit to your consideration:
mork looking around day's room vs talay looking around puen's (well, tun's) room (and interesting enough, both contain a sort of aquarium) [WATER MOTIF MY BEST FRIEND WATER MOTIF]
mork giving day a jasmine flower vs puen giving talay lotus flowers (in multiple occasions)
MEANINGFUL GIFTS!!!!!!!!!
shirts with meanings!!!!!!!!!
ALSO LISTEN. GMMTV can pry 'mork' from my cold dead hands but if there's one reason im willing to allow the 'mhok' transliteration is because of THIS
AND THEN THEY WENT AND ALSO MADE JIMMY PLAY MEK IN PLOY'S YEARBOOK LIKE AT THIS POINT THEY'RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE FR ✋😭
