An alt design (redesign?) for my demon slayer oc, koharu

Wanted to incorporate the little clouds inside the cape for more coherence with the other two Ebisu siblings, and figured that since they’re the main “researcher” of the family, and the one with the least physical strength to offer, their design should lean slightly more into academia with the cape and the hat! Was thinking of making it a tonbi (overcoat with shoulder-cape down to sleeve length and inner jacket) but I think the single long cape makes the design overall easier to read :)

#kimetsu no yaiba #kny oc #demon slayer oc #I am. in love with the outfits of the meiji to showa eras #i honestly can’t say much because I’m not Japanese and all I know is from rudimentary amounts of research on the internet but #I really enjoy the way capes and hats from western designs combined with more traditional looking clothes like kimono looks #I think koharu would wear the cap and cape in cities and surrounding areas where it’s more common to see a student around #whereas the haori is saved for mostly rural missions where looking like a student is impractical #the cape has the added benefit of making it very easy to hide their sword in broad daylight #they don’t put it through the belt because the way that the sword tilts forward is pretty obvious and could get them arrested #so the string on the belt loops lets it dangle more vertically to follow the legs more and be inconspicuous

#12 am thoughts ksjdkdls #the panoramic (iykyk) made me feel like i missed out on so much #in terms of opportunities and chances to put myself out there #and it felt so isolating and i dont feel like i got that uni experience #also me thinking that it could be good source of extra income #this job hunt made me realize that oooof- 🥲 earning money is hard #but also im boring so those vlogs arent going to be very interesting anyways #anyways heres hoping my employed era happens and goes well #mostly so i can fuel to the eldest daughter in a filipino household desire to heal my inner child #through hyperfixations 🤪🤪🤪 #ANYWAYS lots of new updates this week hope you’ve been enjoying the #themmmm #if you actually read all this ily #reese rambles

i have a weird relationship with weight because i hated eating more than anything the moment i was ready for solids ( i hate chewing with my entire life always have & will ) which made me underweight for most of my life ( to this day ) & during late primary-middle school this made me actively suicidal because i felt like something was wrong with my sex because i just was not developing whatsoever prompting me to have a years long phase of trying to gain weight in any way i could ( #EPICFAIL by the way ) & i was already insecure but i felt seriously so unforgivably ugly after bullying not just at school but by adults of my entourage. but then i did in my late 15s which prompted the pendulum to swing in the other direction & suddenly i FREAKED OUT & thought well being skinny is pretty much all i have & know myself to be & clearly it is not going to last forever so i Better preserve it i was delusional about how skinny i thought i was actually i look stumpy & weird i have to prove myself. But now i am normal again kind of

#also i used to get beaten to finish my food nearly daily & it would take me forever to do that like literally hours with no exaggeration #just made me hate eating even more. now my technique is eating as fast as possible before i even realize how overwhelming #the sensory experience is & i can just be done with it VS the pain&dread of eating slowly -> disgust of Everything+hyperawareness #eating tightens my muscles like i hate it so fucking much catching the food putting it in my mouth CHEWING swallowing #what a damn chore #so i always liked cheese it was my “safe food” pretty much the only thing i liked #i even hated the foods autists usually like like fries & fried chicken meatballs ETC. HATED. #i was/am more of a soup & turning all my food into varieties of Slop kind of girl nothing hard for me please... #i experienced middle school during the like ♯Thick era of the world which was honestly a good thing like for The Populace #but i felt like killing myself because i felt like an unforgivable fugly genetic failure & people did not hesitate to let me know #anyway either way i would be unhappy caus if i did gain weight during puberty i would have a meltdown about all the Changes #so i feel content for the time being about only losing the fat in my face & getting age appropriate wrinkles really #trying to enjoy the privilege of thinness while i have it because it will not last forever 0_0 but that should not matter anyway... #the privilege of thinness: being way uglier than others & constantly looking like a gibbon dying of disease + no energy or strength ever #JK people are much MUCH nicer to thin people & they do things for me on account of looking physically incapable so um yay i guess #light at the end of the tunnel that is very significant in the grand scheme of things socially. ♯CountingMyBlessings #also i was raised on ♯HAES tumblr from 2014-2018 i truly believed in that & was so damn envious i was not curvy & beautiful LOL #so i never hated overweight people really i think for the most part the SJW tumblr values stuck with me #but now i know it depends on your base frame & genetics & there is no guarantee to what you choose to do (naturally) acceptance is peace #sorry for the gigantic Arse post i just needed to get that off my chest for a long time. not on here specifically just in general #oh & i am a ♯Grignoteuse but grignoter (grazing) is different from eating in my mind&body #& my insecurity was not a result of wanting to fit in really but kind of in the sense that i wanted people to stop berating me for my looks #like body wise only & also not understanding why every other girl looked like a girl blossoming into a woman #& i looked like i was transitioning to Malnourished (unsexed) Ape made worse by bein GNC.& like the need for control later on & erthang ETC

OKAY SO I had made a poll on twitter deciding which sentai i should watch after i had finished shinkenger and that ended up being king-ohger.

That said im ALSO watching boonboomger so i wanted to go through all 3 car sentai after my king-ohger binge (going by release so Turboranger, Carranger and Go-onger)

BUT after that, im kind of at a loss for what to watch, so I'm just gonna do another poll to be a lil silly about it.

#val rambles #super sentai #i am indecisive i let the people deicde tkfjdjdjjd #some of these im very excited to watch but my plan is to go through ALL of them so im just hopping back and forth a lot #the only exception to this rule are the anniversery seasons (Gokaiger and Zenkaiger) bc im stingy #and also i think id enjoy those more having seen the previous sentai ESPECIALLY the showa era ones i wanna get into more showa era seasons #if theres a tie or something I'll probably make anothet tie breaker poll #bonus points if you know nothing about these seasons bc im pretty much on the same boat for at least half of these

Ah, it's late again. He really needs to get better about his time management but he's salaried, so it's not like it matters how many hours he's clocked in for. Ibara shifts in his seat and rubs his eyes under his glasses. For a moment he thinks it would be nice to have an assistant that could help him out but that would never work with the amount of information he has to keep under wraps.

Or maybe having a second person to help would make him less likely to give up that information out of sheer exhaustion. He'll talk to the president about it tomorrow. He should make a note of that before he forgets. He should pack up and go back to his dorm for the day. Ibara lays his head on his desk and closes his eyes, just for a few minutes he tells himself. Just a few minutes of rest and he'll be up and back on his way to the dorm and actually sleep in his own bed.

Someone shakes him awake. It's gentle and Ibara thinks of the kids in those movies Hiyori makes them watch that ask for five more minutes from their parents. He's too dignified to do something like that though.

Someone chuckles and shakes him again and Ibara finally opens his eyes. It's lighter than he remembered it being when he went to...oh. He fell asleep at the office again. He buries his head in his arms, grumbling.

"Ibara." He bolts upright.

"Your Excellency! Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Nagisa laughs. "Someone told me they never saw you leave last night. Is everything okay, Ibara?"

He relaxes and leans back in his chair. God his back hurts but he has another long day at work. He'll make a note of that later.

There's something soft against his cheek. It's a little scratchy but--

"Your Excellency that is entirely--!"

"We're alone in your office Ibara."

He just knows his face is going to be as dark as his hair with how it heats up from the gesture. A kiss, even just on the cheek... He'll deal. He'll deal with it. It's not like it's something he wishes he got more often or anything.

"T-that's besides the point. Don't do it again."

Nagisa chuckles and Ibara resigns himself to spending his day with Eden's leader.

#message in a bottle #anonymous #ibanagi #i feel like ibara would never initiate intimacy with anyone like idk. it just feels like you have to initiate with him #and nagisa has like no shame at least in this regard. i should read some more eden stories from ! era especially #nagisa is a very... straightforward person in contrast to ibara's scheming. not that he can't scheme (re: conquest) #but he tends to just go full steam ahead for what he wants and if he doesnt have the personal motivation for it #he'll still go along if its beneficial for the other eden members or something they want to do #why am i doing nagisa character analysis in the tags. idk ig its just explaining why i am writing them this way #again i dont write eden that much but i hopeeeeee you enjoy it i do try to have an okay grasp on most of the characters in the game #i've been reading every event as it comes to the english server of the game and i. need to get better at reading ! era stuff #maybe i'll start a new story tonight before i do my nightly gaming sesh... yeah i should do that

[genderqueerspacewives]

idk if everyone's just been uncommonly positive about the newest ep, but i tried the novel thing of not scouring through the tag to find every single post about it and would you guess what happened. im not feeling an extreme feeling of dread about it.

#i made the decision not to do it bc i have a bad history of the stories being ruined for me bc i listen too much on other people talking #about it until i can't rly enjoy it myself anymore #but i'm very happy with all the ppl i follow and am mutuals with so i had the hypothesis that i wouldn't feel like that if i just see their #posts #ofc the biggest victim of this has been 13's era #idk if it's gonna work but so far my theory at least hasn't been disproving #disproven #my posts #the church on ruby road #and the fact that im still positive is a feat bc im not the biggest fan of baby eating goblins #like sure whatever they're camp #i am just personally not super hyped about eating babies campingly

#this is an art that represents many things that I went through and that I suffered a lot last year.. #like- for you to know how happy I am that the year 2022 is over. it's kinda like how much I'm standing up to now #because for me this year was very difficult #it was really very painful to the point of having to be the one who had to remain silent- #just so as not to say what's stuck in my throat until today #It wasn't just deaths that made me sad. it wasn't just because Brazil lost the World Cup #but there were several things that you have no idea how much it hurts to this day just to remember.. #so- I hope that many here are happy that I'm still here #for having endured so much in all this time. for staying strong and trying to do my best... #for putting “bandages” on every thing I went through. #that some wounds even heal quickly. but there are others that don’t even manage to heal #(like- one of those stains you get on your clothes and it doesn't come off. #or breaking a video game out of anger and never being able to recover it) #but even so you still are trying to find a way to be fine.. #and I'm not only here because I like it and I have friends that I don't want to lose. #but I'm also here because I want to see other people's smiles. whether with my art or even with the things I say #I'm here to show that no one is alone. nor will they ever be #that if you went through many difficulties in the year 2022. know that you were not the only one! #because I also went through it and now pls feel very happy to at least start another year and a new era.. #may 2023 be a good year. that everyone can enjoy and have fun. without so much pain and suffering like last year.. #have hope. stay strong and look at the past as a lesson on how to live even with so many things happening. #remember the good things. even if they are not many. they will help you and make you stronger.. #try to think about the now and live a new experience trying to do your best and still stay strong #I care about y'all. and I hope to stay here for another year to see each one of you well. #also- that I love you guys very much. and I hope y'all don't forget that💛 #art #i'm mel and this is my blog✌️ #my art #art mel #mel creator

joe trohman might not have liked mania but i did 😁

#he did an interview with like rolling stone or something about his biography #and he said basically that he was very involved and wasn’t super enthused by mania #wasn’t* #and the like production #which makes sense i suppose since he has a more concrete like idk rock/metal bg #like Pete writes the lyrics he’s about the story and Patrick obvi sings and writes and has always had a more uhh not metal bg KEKSKDKD #sorry I’m bad at music words! #anyway there’s less of the classic guitar stuff on mania so obvi Joe wasn’t as featured #and i don’t associate Joe with the more electronic sample driven synth stuff #even while I’m shaking my ass to it #ANYWAY #lord i really just go on and on #I understand why Joe might not have enjoyed mania that much and that does make me a bit sad given u know he’s in the band lol #but also like he’s in the band so he clearly had a say in it and just decided to let Pete n patrick take the lead on this one #we don’t have much of the new era yet #but it seems like it’ll be more rock-y / like their previous albums #so they’re all involved #I am champing at the bit #I’ll shut up now! #fall out boy #joe trohman #m a n i a #m a n i a

every time i remember women are allowed to age i’m like oh thank god

#i didn’t realize how much internalize misogyny i was still carrying around until kind #*kind of recently #like i feel like the past year has revealed so much to me that i was in denial about #it’s also been very interesting as my gender has been more fluid this past year than it has in like a decade #and just really beginning to understand my relationship with womanhood and my experience with gender as a genderfluid person who sometimes #identifies as genderless and sometimes identifies as a woman and sometimes identifies as a guy #but overall identifies as queer trans and nonbinary and obviously genderfluid #i guess my whole life will be coming to understand these things and enjoy the journey and the evolution #but man i am really onto something now this this era of gender #the fog is clearing in a way that current me needs

"which we all had figured out, everyone in the comments had guessed that," me who was absolutely shocked by the revelation that just unfolded

#ok im being dramatic a little but it genuinely had never crossed my mind #and i kinda actually dont care that much but just the 'this was obvious everyone worked it out' and me just 🧍‍♂️ #it was that sarah was the young girl in 3x8 #i dont remember that ep well i very much did not enjoy that one i was so fucking bored #ill have to rewatch at some point but i have a whole show to rewatch first #im in my buzzing first time finishing the show era rn i am overwhelmed by possibilities #its so crazy looking back at s1/2 bc i look at dale and think hes just a baby. hes so little. but when i watched s3 for the first time #he looked so old to me #its like i grew up with him except i started the show like 3 months ago so hes still kinda baby aged 2 me

Becoming an Intelligent Woman

My Dears,

There is no greater goal than being a fine woman who is intelligent, kind, and elegant. As much as we all want to be described with these adjectives, it takes a great amount of discipline to get there. It is very doable only if you are ready to put in the work.

Here are steps you can add to your routine in the next 4 weeks that will make you 1% more intelligent than you were before. This is a process that should become a habit not a goal. It is long term, however, I want you to devote just 4 weeks into doing these steps first and recognize the changes that follow.

Watch documentaries: This is the easiest step, we all have access to Youtube. Youtube has a great number of content on art, history, technology, food, science etc that will increase your knowledge and pique your curiosity. I really did not know much about world history especially from the perspective of World war 1 & 2, the roaring 20s, Age of Enlightenment, Jazz era, monarchies etc but with several channels dedicated to breaking down history into easily digestible forms. I have in the last 4 weeks immersed myself into these documentaries. Here are a few I watched:

The fall of monarchies

The Entire History of United Kingdom

The Eight Ages of Greece

World War 1

World War 2

The Roaring '20s

The Cuisine of the Enlightenment

2. Read Classics: I recommend starting with short classics so that you do not get easily discouraged. Try to make reading easy and interesting especially if you struggle with finishing a book. Why classics? You see, if you never went to an exclusive private school in Europe or America with well crafted syllabus that emphasized philosophy, history, art, and literary classics, you might want to know what is felt like and for me this was a strong reason. Asides that, there is so much wisdom and knowledge available in these books. In these books, you gain insights to the authors mind, the historical context of the era, the ingenuity of the author, the hidden messages, and the cultural impact of these books. Most importantly, you develop your personal philosophy from the stories and lessons you have accumulated from the lives of the characters in the books you read. Here are classics to get you started:

Animal Farm by George Orwell

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald

Candide by Voltaire

Paradise lost by John Milton

3. Study the lives of people who inspire you: I dedicate one month to each person that fascinates me. I read their biography (date of birth, background, death, influences, work, style, education, personal life) For this month, I decided to study Frank Lloyd Wright because I was fascinated by the Guggenheim Museum in New York. I began to read about his influence in American Architecture (Organic architecture, Prairie School, Usonian style), his tumultuous personal life, his difficult relationship with his mentor (Louis Sullivan), his most iconic works etc. By the end of the year I would have learned the ins and outs of people I am inspired by through books and documentaries. Here are other people I plan to learn more about:

Winston Churchill

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Ada Lovelace

Benjamin Franklin

Helen Keller

John Nash

Isabella Stewart Gardner

Caroline Herrera

Ernest Hemingway

Catherine the Great

Ann Lowe

My dears, I hope you enjoyed this read. I cannot wait to write more on my journey to becoming a fine woman. I urge you to do this for four weeks and see what changes you notice. Make sure to write as well, it is important to document your progress.

Cheers to a very prosperous 2024!
