I’m taking @jmr0303.bsky.social’s words after seeing this gacha to heart in 2026:

“Be the American Japan believes you to be” 🫡 🇺🇸

Local celebrities spotted in Kyoto. ✨🐈🐈‍⬛

The brown and white tabby enjoyed scratching their head with their back foot so much that they stuck out their tongue and started licking the air. I have lived with several cats and that’s a first for me lol

I’ve visited Kyoto several times and have seen several sites, but this is the first time I visited Fushimi Inari Shrine. Finally!

It’s definitely a must-see for fox enthusiasts, especially because of all the fox goodies the locals sell to tourists in the local markets.
A photo of an entrance through several Torii gates guarded by two fox statues at Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto, Japan. A box full of fox-shaped wish plates (byakko ema) for sale for 1000 yen at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. Several wish plates hung up with humorous faces drawn onto the fox-shaped template at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, Japan.

We even got to see part of the talent show because it was being recorded and shown on a projector in the artist’s lounge. That’s so nice… I want all cons to do that!

Even though we weren’t able to go into the Dealer’s Den, we still had a great time at JMoF thanks to the kindness of other furries! We got to be in the foreign fursuiters photoshoot, then Saba & I drew buttons in the artist lounge. Big thanks to @jmr0303.bsky.social for guiding us!
Me and @jmr0303 who helped us find the photo shoot and the lounge!

I didn’t buy this sticker but now I’m going to think about Phoenix striking this power pose when his legs are obscured in court
A sticker featuring art of Phoenix Wright striking his signature pointing pose. However, he seems to be twisting his body dramatically…

I guess the Capcom store sells yaoi keychains. Interesting lore here

The funniest part about this experience might be that when you order the pumpkin desert, they provide a little backdrop. But it’s only for photos and you can’t keep it lol

It was better than I expected from the website! They have some cute goods for sale and the cutlet burger was decent. The veggie tart my friend got was absolutely miniscule for almost the same price tho

The merch they had for sale was OK! I got a cute hand towel

Two themed cafés within a few hours of each other was a bit much, but we had fun lol
A photo of me pretending to roast Monster Hunter meat at the Monster Hunter café in Tokyo A doodle of Mizutsune in one of the guest books at the Monster Hunter café A Snorlax-themed plate of food from the Pokémon Café. There is shrimp pilaf in a Snorlax plate, cooked and sliced chicken thigh, and salad with carrots cut to look like “ZZZ…” A photo of me next to a large statue of Snorlax, Pikachu, and Mew at Pokémon Center Tokyo DX. The Japanese sign with Charizard on it reads, “Mega Happy Holiday”

@donnavart.bsky.social introduced us to Dokapon Kingdom, which certainly lives up to its reputation lol

The other players are a blue-themed male magician named scrungus and a green-themed female magician named CHEESE. A zoomed in photo focusing on Crunky’s stats. Of note, she is level 7 and is 35,374 G in debt

Tried to get my VR headset working so my friend could use it while I was gone, and my computer went kablooie. Scared the crap out of me!

Hours of struggling later, everything is back in working order & I didn’t lose anything.

But my VR headset’s tether is broken and a replacement costs $130. Sigh

I got the urge to start reading some new manga, so I used some bookstore credit to dive into these two.

Holy moly they’re pretty ✨

I almost feel like I’ve just been banging rocks together and calling it drawing this whole time lol

I can’t wait for the convenience stores in Japan lol
A cropped Google review of a gas station. 1 star 5 months ago “Walked in to get gas and there was a bag of meth all over the front entrance. Let the employee know and he said it was his. He even sent security out…” There is a photo of a plastic bag on the floor

Page 1052 of the webcomic Slightly Damned! J: Kieri. J: I had hoped that we would've gotten to know each other better before I had to say this, but... Be strong. J: You're the only sober one left! J: The rest of us aren't in our right minds anymore. Please make sure we go to bed safely! J: When emotions are running this high, poor decision-making is inevitably followed... J: ...by unintended consequences. J: You got something to say to me, beasties? Don't forget... Kazai: [in Angelic] Scoundrel! Rhea: [in Lingo] Perv! J: ...I'm very good at TAKING CARE OF ANIMALS... Rhea: You don't scare me! I've died three times already! Kazai: [in Angelic] I will defend my sister's honor! J: EEK! Buwaro: BLUGH!

Page 1051 of the webcomic Slightly Damned. J: Oh Rhea~! I think Kazai's affected by the soup, too! Kazai: [speaking in Angelic] I just wanted to help... PPPFFFHAHA!! Rhea: Uh... Yeah. I see that now. Rhea: [thinking in Lingo] Maybe Angels are like Demons in that drugs affect them in strange ways, too... Rhea: That explains why Kazai is... ...like that. Or it's his curse...? Rhea: J said that heartthrob fruit wasn't fatal, but... what if that's just for Medians? What if Buwaro's really sick? WHAT IF... Rhea: BUWARO!! DON'T DIE!!! How can I face your father again if you don't make it!? Rhea: If you die, Kieri will drown in her tears! If that happens, I'll kill you! J: Love is a powerful thing...
