Since the IceAdo movie is canceled, I'll drop these photos from one of the last YOI museums of Victor's costume design as most people won't never gotten to see these:
Interview with Yuzuru airing now on tv.
"If I can do a clean 4A and have a no-miss program, then I'm sure I can win. And if I do that and I don't get gold, well then at that point, it can't be helped..."
Otabek's costume colors changed so drastically from the original to what was in the series. The amount of research, work, and genuine love put into the series can never be understated...
Well, YOI was the reason I managed to make so many friends and got back into writing. So it's always been an honor 💕
Grateful for that and all the joy it brought, at the very least

Last year, I finished my first book... then spent this year editing, doubting, and loving it all over again. And I can now announce that I'm repped by

I'm so thrilled for the chance to bring more fun, happy, queer books to the world. 💕
If you're seeing yoi stuff on the TL today from Japanese fans, it's because Mappa's 10th anniversary showcase opened today. I'll go in a couple weeks, but other than the art previously released, I don't think there's anything "new."
Officially on sub & want to celebrate! Plus, with

So, my baby boy here recently got very sick very suddenly. Turns out he has an aggressive cancer and basically we're borrowing time keeping him as comfy and happy as possible until my partner gets home so we can say goodbye together
Getting bad pets news is always rough. Getting bad pet news when your partner is halfway across the world and can't come home for another week and a half... a lot worse.
Meet... the Scallop.
Rescued off the street in Chiba and now we're gonna see if he adjusts to life in Kanagawa instead, lol. Still a bit scared and hissy but treats and gentle touches aren't the worst thing in the world, it seems...
Japanese fans are hardcore. Going "I'm gonna ask an entire building to light up with my favorite fictional character's colors for their bday" and then literally doing it. Their power,,,,, just wow
I skated at Wakaba's rink before the pandemic. Every week I went in and watched her work, struggle, fall, and get up again, perfecting that 3A. And it makes me angry knowing that clean, wonderful skaters like her are getting cheated out of their hard work
Konbu, you were black cat perfection. The smartest, sweetest, most ridiculous boy. Eight years wasn't nearly enough, but I know my dad & Sasu will take good care of you from now on. Thank you for yelling at us from that parking lot bush; you were the best, most chaotic gift 💕
There's nothing heartening about this. It's all awful. Everyone's been robbed, everyone's been damaged, and the stain of this farce is gonna rot figure skating for years to come
Ngl, I expected the Olymp*cs to be a clusterfuck but the scale of the clusterfuck, before it has even officially started, has surpassed comical into... idk...
There's no words to accurately describe how awful everything about it is
Muramoto/Takahashi noted after their free dance that they will be reevaluating after the competition about their career and likely make a decision in April

Wow, Yuzu. 78k viewers within minutes of his first livestream and he's not even skating yet. If he monetizes the channel and allows donations, he'll be able to print his own gold medals for anything he wants 😂
"The eight people are Ukrainian nationals who have relatives or acquaintances in Japan, and were granted short-term residency for 90 days..."
You sure you aren't being too generous there, Japan? 🙄
@JapanIntercult
It's not like they have over a year's worth of examples of other island nations that've been handling the whole pandemic rather successfully...

tonight with the Goose. Dad-in-law is fully vaxxed, mum's getting her second soon.
Meanwhile, my family back in the US is fully into conspiracy theories... For once, I'm glad I have excuses not to visit... ^^;
@imzeferino
They're old for me but I realize lots of people outside Japan never got to see them. It's fun reliving the memories too, I just wish we had a better ending

Pocha had his Makkachin mask on today since we went to the Mappa showcase. And we got to see a good friend! So happy to have

My one contribution about eki-den this weekend: Please Japan, more college-age(+) sports anime, pleeeeease. I can't with the junior/high-school settings and drama anymore...
Ebi got injured and had to wear bandanas for a while, so he wouldn't lick and aggravate his wound. But now he's all better and got a new bowtie!
Also his summer shave is already growing in...
The Scallop grows. Still not very good with people cuddles, but happy to play and hang out in bed, so maybe there's hope for when we grow out of kitten energy levels
If I vanish mysteriously it's because when I went to shower today, the ceiling panel was open. Mid shower, I was suddenly staring up into a black abyss... I've been home alone for a week; partner's abroad on biz for two more. So now I'm just waiting to meet my horror movie end...
I love the Japanese schoolgirls who wear sweatpants under their skirts, because in general, requiring them to wear skirts in winter (and any time) is dumb
Getting bad pets news is always rough. Getting bad pet news when your partner is halfway across the world and can't come home for another week and a half... a lot worse.
Lots of emotions from Sasha Trusova right now - in the mixed, she reportedly said in Russian, "I hate everyone, I hate this sport."

Hi little one. Goose's mom babysat the Scallop and reports he was a good boy. And I come back to... first time cuddles in bed, at night and in the morning? What a sweetie 💕
Odd compliments I've received in Japan:
1. The back of your head is perfectly shaped
2. You look like you attract good people
3. The dark color of your blood is ideal
No.3 was today and I had to bite my tongue so hard not to make vampire jokes to the nurse
@JapanIntercult
I'm amused at how America seems to be collecting "problematic" royals now. I'm sure they'll be fine, and she might have an easier time there than living under scrutiny in Japan
