🎠REIH/Dani🎠(C0MMISH OPEN!)

Guys my cat has a surgery scheduled next week and I'm scared I won't be able to cover bills on top of her surgery costs I need a booooost I'll draw u and ur fave or whatever else I'll draw spicy art even like the sky is the limit I have 10+ yrs experience as an artist trust

Currently I'm writing something where a character has locs, and there's a reason people call it a journey. Hair in general conveys a lot about characters, so it's important to get it right

Really good reference library, also will make research easier since you can see proper terms. My strategy has been looking at hair tutorials, hair care videos, etc but this makes the first steps easier

@lestatdulaac Giovanni's Room ... ( I haven't finished the book yet but yeah .. )

unseasoned yaoi: “i like him but.. he’s a boy… and i’m also a boy…” tasty seasoned yaoi: “I laid down with a man. I laid down with the Devil. And he has roots in me. All his spindly roots in me. And I can't think nothin' anymore but his voice and his words! Please! Help me!”

Some stuff I can just roll my eyes at since I'm sure they agree on what they're ok with others teasing them about but ehhh ..

Ive been going back to watching streams here and there for special events and ehhh some of those jokes were way over the line for me ...

@shelberrie Artiswitch, and magical girl anime like Madoka, maybe Rozen Maiden too but as an early influence ?

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are arresting unaccompanied minors, trafficking them across state borders, and then “losing”them. Sixteen-year-old Sebastian, an asylum-seeker from Ecuador, was driving in Minneapolis when immigration agents pulled him over in early January. He managed to call his father before they confiscated his phone. Then he disappeared. Instead of processing him locally, federal agents moved him from holding area to holding area, kept him overnight in a HOTEL under guard, and then flew him to Michigan. He was placed in a federally contracted Christian youth shelter, and given 5 vaccines. All while his family had no idea where he was. For nearly a week, the government could not… or would not… tell his father where his 16-year-old son had been taken. When his attorney filed an emergency petition, an ICE lawyer responded that it “does not appear that this Petitioner is in ICE custody.” He had been arrested by ICE… He had been transported by ICE. But suddenly, according to ICE, he wasn’t in ICE custody. After agents picked him up, they labeled him an “unaccompanied minor” and issued him a new alien number, even though he already had one as an asylum-seeker. That second number made him nearly impossible to track once he was transferred into the federal shelter system. When his lawyer finally located him in Michigan, he had been confined for over a week, he was not allowed to disclose his location to his father, his movement was restricted, and his communication was monitored. This is what they are calling “ensuring safety.” The shelter he was sent to… Bridgeway, operated by Bethany Christian Services…has a documented history of violations. In 2023, a counselor there was charged with sexually abusing immigrant youth. State inspections later found compliance failures, including background check issues and evidence of staff hazing children. This facility receives millions in federal funding. Sebastian’s family was lucky. They were able to hire a lawyer. They were able to track him through paperwork the government claimed did not exist. They were able to physically show up and get him out. How many families don’t have that kind of help? How many parents are calling numbers that lead nowhere? How many children are sitting in facilities under new identification numbers, waiting for someone to figure out where they’ve been sent? If it takes a federal court order, and private investigators, to locate a 16-year-old the government admits it picked up… That’s a system where the government is knowingly trafficking children, unless their family has the resources to pull them back.

@fathercested i get the impression they don't read bl either, let alone anything written/drawn by gay men. I've also gotten so tired of the "you can't write this if you're not part of the community" mindset like if u follow that logic stuff like Utena, Cowboy Bebop and FMA would not exist

二次創作

I had a classmate in elementary school tell me to shave my arms then get mad at me the next day when I showed up with shaved arms cause she said "now they'll grow back darker!" So I just became a stickler and never shaved my arms again ! Fuck all that now I have pride about it

oh no they fight! (part 1) #galolio #PROMARE

@pandamielle @wish_mayu I saw that they debuted in 2020, so it makes sense they're more accessible, I'm mostly thinking about my experiences in the late 2000s and 2010s. I'm happy that more Japanese artists are becoming accessible on global platforms

@atomicreih @wish_mayu i wouldn't blame it fully though! Snow Man content is very accessible overseas (imo) yet many don't really know about them

As someone who just loves cute Japanese fashion and honestly gets a bit of an allergic reaction to anime otaku culture... here’s the reality of the 2026 music scene: These fans only care about anime tie-ins. Mainstream idols like Snow Man or NiziU? Total niche for them. Unless there’s an "anime gateway," J-Pop doesn't exist in their world. 🎀💀

@wish_mayu Ohh I see ! So there's a mainstream vs Otaku divide over in Japan too !

Totally agree on the accessibility part—it's tough overseas! Just to clarify tho, my point was more about Japanese otakus themselves: they stick so hard to anime-related music that pure mainstream J-Pop (idols etc.) is basically invisible to them unless anime-linked. Super niche even in Japan 😂🎀 Thanks for chiming in!
