Hmmm Maybe I Should Start Posting Doodles

Princess Peach X Hatsune Miku 🍑🎵

Since you said your miss your walks to the creperie in the place you used to live, is there a similar place where you currently live? And I don't just mean a creperie, but rather something that evokes similar feelings in you! (I haven't been to a creperie before but I would love to go one day; sounds like a quietly joyful experience. Not to mention delicious.) Also, I'm really looking forward to finishing your gift and sharing it with you! - DCMK

I lived here a good portion of my life, so there's quite a few spots. There's also a creperie here too, but it's not the same vibes, though it's a very nice seeming one, just far and with a different aesthetic to the interior.

Sorry for the late reply! I've been going to events at my local university, sewing, and playing Sun Haven lately.

I'm excited to see the gift! I just sent my own gift out just now.

See ya soon with the reveal!

jirachi was design inspiration for aika can you tell?

who’s that pokemon? its cleffanya!

I’m not aware of the quality of current DetCo dub, but I heard plenty of good things about the old version. (I rarely watch dubs, tho, so I’m not the best authority on this *laughs*) I haven’t read nor watched Astro Boy (So, sorry that I cannot participate there, but I’m more than open to hear you talk about it! I love how enthusiastic you are about it), and don’t really know much about it. - DCMK 2/4

I'm not fully aware of the quality either, tbh. I heard little bits here and there though, apparently Heiji is Canadian.

As for Astro Boy, it's one of those things that's been important to me throughout my lifetime, so I'll probably mention it a ton on this blog. I even painted him for one of my university projects. If you ever wanna learn more about Astro Boy feel free to let me know, I probably can answer most questions.

uh oh tiny

I tend to watch Japanese dub + Eng sub combination, and when in the mood the limited amount of content my country has dubbed. I only saw a couple of videos for the Eng dub version, so my experience with it is limited, but putting aside the localization, I find the snippets I encountered charming. The script translation is flexible compared to the original, but I find it gives so much character to the dub, it's fun to listen to. Again: hope your day is lovely! - DCMK 2/2

I figured, since I've already started it in Japanese with it sometimes subbed, I might watch the English dub if I ever catch up. I usually do the same for other series, where if I watch it in one I'll watch the other when I catch up. Sometimes I do find it hard to take some localisation seriously though, but I blame Pokémon for this.

To my surprise, I got gifts this year! I got a Studio Ghibli artbook, some pocky, and some fabric I actually needed for the plush dolls I've been making (one is of Atom, the other of Conan).

It's so weird talking to people who's view of "here's the way life is for everyone" is shattered as soon as they talk to someone with disabilities (physical, mental illness, any). Like you'll say you'll have a problem and instead of helping you they'll argue with you about how you're not actually facing that problem. Like,

Me: Hey, I'm really struggling to find a job and a part of it is my resume. I was depressed & psychotic during highschool so I didn't do anything to gain skills or achievements to put on my resume. I also don't have anyone to put as a reference. What can I do?

Them: You can add your skills, hobbies, clubs you're in, and different volunteer work you've done! You can also get your teacher as a reference.

Me: I already know what to put on a resume, my issue is that I don't have things that I can use. Also, I'm in my mid 20s so I don't know if I can put my highschool teacher as a reference.

Them: Well if you're a part of a church or an activity group, you could add that. Also, think of any projects you've worked on in the past.

Me: I already know you can put these things on a resume. I'm not looking for suggests of things I've already done, I'm looking for what I can do now if I haven't done anything.

Them: There's no way you didn't do anything during highschool?? What about some odd jobs you definitely did for extra money, like babysitting or mowing the lawn?

Me: I spent all of highschool either in modified classes or in bed doing nothing - not even hobbies, what about that do you not understand?

And then you talk to someone who's also disabled and they're like "Here's a bunch of jobs you can do from home that don't pay much but look good on a resume, here's some free online courses that also look good on a resume, here's how you can be making small amounts of money in the meantime, here's some things you can put besides a professional reference, and here are your rights if your future employer tries to take advantage of your disability - which you probably shouldn't tell them about unless you need accommodations."

And suddenly my will to continue trying returns!

Crepes are truly versatile, you can eat them so many ways, I love them! I love how you can make them sweet or salty and savoury, or put jam in it, or eat it with whipped cream or with fruits! So yummy indeed, and so many options, they are a delight!

Sometimes I miss my morning walks to the creperie and the times I stopped by for lunch

I got approved for a print shop on Inprint 🥳🎉
