Officially on mandatory unpaid vacation. If you've ever thought about watching one of my very good videos, now would be a good time 🥲

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.
o9: To give more color on that, Thorfinn’s famous declaration that he has “no enemies” has become a meme in the west—used affectionately, especially during the high-profile rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, through J.Cole reaction images in social media posts, and as a shorthand catchphrase in anime circles. How does it feel to see such a pivotal moment in your story take root in popular culture in this way?

Yukimura: (Laughs) First of all, I feel very happy that it has turned into such a phenomenon—my work turning into a meme—because it means that my intention to make what I’m trying to say in the story into a short, compact sentence was successful. People won’t remember if it was a really long sentence or something very complicated. If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.

Trying to get my head around the idea of non-phonics based teaching aka "what if English had kanji"

I read this in your voice and I'm trying so hard not to laugh in the office

I get all my news from the same person I time into for seasonal anime reviews

Hot take, but maybe the ecosystem where people make being popular their livelihood while pressed to comment on complicated issues increasingly outside their expertise is bad actually.

That's how I'm trying to approach it. It's still fun but much harder writing to do while trying to be quippy and entertaining

Oh hell yeah. I'll look forward to it

Yep, this is my first time reading them

I always heard The Dark Tower was an unadaptable magnum opus rich in world building and textured prose. All that seems to be true as of Wastelands but they don't warn you about the giant cyborg bear or the menacing lobster.

That fourth verse of the gunslinger mantra goes real hard

I do not post with my hand; she who posts with her hand has forgotten the face of her father.

I post with my heart.

How I feel after receiving a single compliment

Dressed for the Renaissance Fair for the first time and got compliments about my "ethereal beauty." Even got a comparison to Galadriel.

It wasn't even from my beautiful wife this time. Maybe she's onto something 🤔

I miss the blorbos. I'd read many more volumes of them being gay, confronting existential horror and having strong opinions on cheap beer. Ya know, the typical lesbian experience.

Sped through every volume of Otherwise Picnic and now there's no more Otherside Picnic to read.

How could this happen? 😭
