Fans of Slayers have a new collectible to add to their wish lists. KADOKAWA has officially revealed a brand-new KDcolle figure featuring the legendary sorceress Lina Inverse, celebrating the enduring legacy of the beloved fantasy franchise. The figure is based on the specially illustrated artwork created for the Slayers 35th Anniversary Exhibition and aims to bring the iconic heroine to life in impressive detail.

The non-scale figure faithfully recreates Lina’s energetic personality, capturing the spirited expression and dynamic pose that have made her one of anime and light novel fandom’s most recognizable protagonists. The design is directly inspired by an illustration from original artist Rui Araizumi, ensuring a high level of authenticity for longtime fans.

Standing at approximately 160mm tall, the figure balances display-friendly dimensions with premium sculpting and paintwork. KADOKAWA’s KDcolle line emphasized both accessibility and high-quality craftsmanship, with particular attention paid to Lina’s signature shoulder armor and the intricate Demon’s Blood Talismans that accompany her design.

The figure commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Slayers franchise, which first debuted as a light novel series by Hajime Kanzaka before expanding into manga, anime adaptations, and a wide range of merchandise. The anniversary exhibition has served as a centerpiece celebration for the franchise, featuring exclusive artwork and commemorative products honoring its decades-long popularity.

My wife likes Olive Garden, and consequently I am there a few times a year. It is fucking packed every time.

Arc 7 begins! Wow a Replica update that did not take me months to do?? Unheard of!

I've had this headcanon for Leo being a better chess player than Donnie for YEARS. It's actually an idea that I've planted and has done its rounds in the fandom in the years leading up to this. I'm glad I finally get to dive into it properly. This is going to be a much shorter story like my early Arcs for Replica but I just love little character studies such as these so please indulge me!

everyone seems to be here so testing out the app tehe

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

Clearly, they should have hired these guys to stop him:
