Stupid comic because I am really missing The Stand today
"I wanted to forget him, and yet it seemed I thought of him always. It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there." - Interview with the Vampire, 1976 Interview with the Vampire (2022) | Season 1 - Season 2
Save me ZoLu save me…
Better quality/individuals under cut!
YUBASHIRI
Zoro's katanas visual reference sheet in English (translated by me)
Covers 和道一文字 (Wado Ichimonji), 雪走 (Yubashiri), 三代鬼徹 (Sandai Kitetsu), and 秋水 (Shusui)
Notes under the cut:
You have to open the image in a tab/download it and zoom in to read it, sorry!! I couldn't figure out how to vectorise the text :(
The original tumblr upload in Japanese is here, the sheet itself links to a deleted pixiv site so I have no idea where it was originally from, but it definitely seems to be written by Oda
Please let me know if there are any errors!!
I'm not Japanese nor do I speak/read it, I just used google translate + a lot of googling and wikipedia to look up japanese sword terminology. I can also read kanji so that helped a bit
Some other random notes if you'd like to reference the original post:
柄巻 (tsuka-maki or tsuka ito, lit. hilt wrap): rope wrapped around the outside of the katana
鐔 (つば)* - tsuba, sword guard; generally a round metal plate with a central wedge shaped hole for the blade and if needed up to two smaller holes for the kozuka or kōgai *note: Oda uses the hiragana when referring to the tsuba
柄 tsuka: The tsuka is the hilt or handle; made of wood and wrapped in samegawa (shark/ray skin).
目貫 menuki, The menuki are the decorative metal ornaments the are woven under the tsuka-ito (handle wrapping). These ornaments were originally made to hide the mekugi pins that secure the tsuka to the tang of the blade
鞘 saya: traditional wooden scabbard
腰差し koshi-zashi: something to be worn on the waist, can specifically refer to swords
丁子乱れ, "clove disorder" choji midare – an irregular hamon pattern resembling cloves, with a round upper part and a narrow constricted lower part.
鮫皮 samegawa: the ray or shark skin wrapping of the tsuka (handle/hilt), is wrapped by the tsuka-ito
頭 kashira: The kashira is the pommel on the end of the tsuka.
鐺 kojiri: The kojiri is the end of the scabbard (saya) or the protective fitting at the end of the scabbard
下げ緒 sageo : The sageo is the cord used to tie saya to the belt/obi when worn.
直刃 suguha: straight temper line (hamon)
乱刃 midareba: irregular temper line (hamon)
刃文 hamon: border between the tempered part of the ha (cutting edge) and the untempered part of the rest of the sword; the temper-line.
Temper line (刃文 hamon) designs
Left to right: suguha (straight line), gunome (wavy line), choji (clove), notare (gentle wave)

I wonder if my personal outrage at fairies in so many different froms of media being made out to be perfect, pure, cute, and harmless rather than dangerous beings not of this realm is connected to me wanting neurotypicals to leave me alone (through fear or respect if necessary, I don't care) rather than treat me like I am a cute little child that cannot understand anything and never will.
Autistic folks like myself used to be perceived as like changelings and such after all.

Okay, so, I am not a comic reader
But I wanna be
But I’m also broke
Does anyone have anywhere that I could read comics w/out spending an arm and a leg?
“ONE DAY, I’M GONNA SET FOR YOU.”
Headcannon that you and everyone else will probably think Aizawa always plays the bad cop in the crime fighting duo but then you meet Mic and then it's really over for you
Anyone else feeling completely overwhelmed by a crushing sense of impending doom on this wonderful Sunday night? You too? Wow, almost like this feeling has a name, huh? I think I'll call it... anxiety. Oh, no not Anxiety. That's a big, scary, medical word that has absolutely no connection to me. Just anxiety. Yeah, that's better.
I don't realise it was a tripod

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.
Hi guys btw, despite this being a terrible idea to add even more things to my list of things to do. This is my first time having a Spotify wrapped to do this with. So I’m doing the Spotify wrapped challenge. So uh if you guys wanna send in a number I’ll do a little doodle based on the song number it corresponds to on my wrapped playlist, and if you also include a specific character I’ll make the piece about said character! Uhh yeah anyway also if no one sends me asks I’ll just use a random number generator and do it anyway but that feels really pathetic so plz send asks lol
Yuta, my love I know you love flair and all but dont destroy the building just for your entrance please.
I'm catatonic in your arms. Crying "How did I cause so much harm?" 💔

Mental Crop Rotation
When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.
To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”
So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.
Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.
thinking about my optometrist who was treating my eye infection and said “if it hurts, you can rinse your eye with boiled water. look at me - look at me. i want you to understand that i mean water that has been boiled and has since cooled down. not boiling water. do you understand?” like i’m so grateful for this man ensuring that I wouldn’t destroy my eyes by pouring boiling water in it, because it is an adequate assessment of my intelligence
Today my wife texted me this, and then immediately called me to make sure I got it because it was “an urgent message”.
decapitates you but its clear that im not used to using a sword so it takes like 3 swings and i still havent fully got through your spine and theres blood everywhere and im honestly kinda getting frustrated now so i just kick your corpse a couple times and leave
