Since I’m currently on summer vacation, I’ve been able to get up to various evil deeds and plans and I thought I’d keep you, my loyal fans, posted.
You probably already know but I’m currently on the Yakisobascans team helping to spread The Word accross the world. Having such responsibilities bestow upon me a sense of purpose which is good and enriching. The quality is through the roof compared to Sonyapiss, so give it a go if you love a well typeset read.
Honestly not sure how to explain this one. When I was big into having a parasocial relationship with dodgy manga author Yasashii Naizō I had the idea to cosplay as his shindanmaker girl, or some kind of parallel version of her. I would like to say I was weird back then and I would not have gotten this idea if that obsession were to happen right now, but I would probably be lying by doing so.
Anyways, that got me thinking about what kanji I would like to have as a hair accessory, to imitate the one she has, and I quickly settled onto 無 because it can be pronounced like な so it matched and it’s one of those basic ones that many people know about. Basically, it felt like a good fit. Fast forward to mid-July, even though I had been on a bit of a Kirara break I had a free week in Paris and felt although the time was right to complete a simple project like this. I sent the design to a nearby 3D printing workshop, and hot glued a metal clip I had ripped the ribbon off of on it (pretty sure it came with my tracen academy cosplay, oops lol).
I think it turned out pretty good! But I do feel shame when I wear this, which is normal. Honestly I’m majoring in Japanese next year, so anything goes at this point. If I need to explain to a poor soul that I had (have ?) an imaginary rivalry with a guy who draws… I don’t need to spell it out in the email… I’ll do it. This is just how things turned out.
Having had to scroll through his media tab to find a good example of his sona to link though I have to say I will maybe try to stay vague about who I'm talking about it does take a toll on one's mental, quite a lot…
Fashion is also something I wanted to dabble in a little when I was in Paris, so I did this little project. The story behind this is that I was watching some videos of Japanese comedy duo Elf, and came across these jeans that Arakawa was wearing.
I thought “Wow !! Cool !!”, so I decided to go out to find a good pair of jeans, that i
could then proceed to genuinely ruin by cutting them in half.
…So I did that, here are a few pics of the process :
At first I thought the result didn’t look too bad, but having worn them for a day I can definitely say they could use some improvement. The leg covers keep slipping and the cord that holds them is definitely too short.I’ll change it out and add some holes to keep it more secure around the jean part when i get the chance.
Also, my family kind of hated the idea. I get it, but someone like me has objectives, I can’t stray, I’m sorry.
I’m getting Old, brother. I need to move on from Twitter being 80 % of my personality, especially with everything that’s going on.
I’m not very social so severing from social media isn’t very difficult for me in that sense, although I will miss seeing so much good art. What I am not ready to get rid of however is processing my inner thoughts by writing like i have an audience who is extremely invested in understanding my comprehension of my surroundings. Something which i got used to do on the @0117532085743_ twitter account.
To make up for this, I started writing down what I would usually tweet privately on a little A7 notepad. In many ways it totally defeats the purpose of what I did on twitter because I will not have an archive through which I can search by text or date or… anything, but I feel like it is still a better idea than spending more time on my phone than I have to. I’ve usually never been very good at physical journalling, but hopefully this time the freer form will help me. Plus it’s not like I have a choice I don’t want to get caught Xing in public wtf embarassing
That's basically it. I feel like I got some things done which is good, life is short and doing things is important. I hope to come to you again to show more stuff!
Peace out!
