the only way to get rid of temptation

Papercraft commission of Aki and Koharu from Love Bullet! I've really been enjoying this manga (and the backstory between these two was especially heartwrenching), and thus I was very excited to make this one.

The magazine launched the "Pikachu no Nakama Dai Boshuu" contest for Pocket Monster PiPiPi ★ Adventure fans in the August 1998 issue. The grand prize was the opportunity to have your original Pokémon character appear alongside the manga's titular PiPiPi pokémon.

The winning design was the vibrant blue character shown above, Marin, who appears playing happily with the other leading 'mon on the colour page for chapter 18, "Suteki na Christmas Present," which was published in the December 1998 issue of Ciao. Marin does not appear in the chapter itself, nor do we have any other details about the creature.

One of the unfortunate things that happened when this chapter was included in the third tankoubon for the series was that Marin's speech bubble (pictured above) was excised from the illustration and thus Tsukirino's comments from the volume regarding Marin being a fan creation for a contest were the only real explanation floating around in fandom online for many years.

With that in mind, I'd like to make it clear that Marin's creator was credited in Ciao magazine as the grand prize winner of the "Pikachu no Nakama Dai Boshuu" contest. That credit appears in Marin's own speech bubble above. Her name is Ōsumi Ayaka (大住あやか) and she hails from Hiroshima Prefecture.

Sorry but I got sick of scrolling through the notes on this on desktop and seeing all the red usernames marked by shinigami eyes reblogging this.

"am i normal" is not as helpful question to ask as "are intrusive thoughts causing me frequent distress?" and "would my life be better if i could find a way to feel less distress/learn to tolerate the distress?"

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!
