japan was super fun!! i made it my mission to find a copy of young ace while i was there which was surprisingly difficult since it the end of the month and nearly time for the dec issue, but i finally found it at a random bookstore in fukuoka (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) bought some books, manga, pins, stuff like that. felt like a huge weeb but when else am i gonna buy that kinda stuff? we went to tokyo, did the museums and ginza/akihabara, then we went to hakata and kumamoto (stayed in a ryoukan with a private hot spring! and they put out a kotatsu for me which was lovely ♡ there was a 5.4 earthquake which was exciting but the locals didn't seem worried so i figured we'd be ok), then we went to osaka which was really fun! and the food was amazing ♡♡ but i got sick and had to spend two days watching tv in the apartment (◞‸ ◟) i wanted to visit yokohama harbour to take some ref pics for something i've been working on and it was ⟡ an experience ⟡ trying to explain to my mil that no, i couldn't just substitute fukuoka harbour, it had to be yokohama specifically. didn't end up having time, but there's always next time. overall it was an amazing trip, i will definitely be going back! all good things come to an end so i'm back home and hoping to beat the post-vacation-depression with some art time, we'll see how that goes.

in other news, i'm getting ready to go to japan in less than 2 weeks and having a friend come and stay starting monday so i've been pretty busy but i'm hoping to get back to normal in december ♡

[anyways, i am working on some things but they're just taking a while since i'm house sitting and also grief just like, slorps up all my creative energy and i don't wanna force it yet. we'll see how it goes. watched some anime lately with my wife and bsd is definitely still eating my brain but i might post some stuff from other fandoms, idk. i really like the apothecary diaries and the summer hikaru died and we just started jjk which i'm enjoying so far. ] gonna try finishing one of my thousand wips so hopefully something more substantial here soon!
