Millennial (sorry) with AuDHD (not sorry). Jungle Asian. A volleyball anime saved my life, a guy with a giant duck thing made it better; both made me cringe af. Red panda on the other place. Probably your only Melanau friend.

Not sure this was the vibe you're after, but these are pretty typical SEAsian streets.

I should add that since we've never seen it being driven at night or in non-residential areas, my headcanon is it has those tomyam shop LED lights and a sick sound system that he plays Sandstorm or old rock ballads on. Like this, but kei car version.

I should add that he drives what looks like a yellow Daihatsu Move (a.k.a. Perodua Kenari).
Keishin Ukai from the anime Haikyuu!! He is shown behind the wheel of a yellow, tall hatchback kei car, with lines drawn alongside to indicate that he's speeding. He's screaming.

I mean come on, you can see a guy like this any day of the week at Sungei Wang Plaza or those random phone fix shops in Kepong
Keishin Ukai from the anime Haikyuu!! He is an adult man with dyed blond hair pushed back with a hairband, wearing an orange hoodie and a supermarket apron. He has a cigarette dangling out of the corner of his mouth. He has two piercings in his left ear.

Day 4: A character who absolutely 100% did nothing wrong

Ein Dalton (Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans) was very much a product of the indoctrination and horrible environment he was brought up in; the only reason he lost was because the plot required that Mikazuki (and by extension the Tekkadan) win.
Ein Dalton, a young man with dark hair, is strapped into the cockpit of a Gundam. His face is bears an empty expression, and the environment in the cockpit seems hazy due to it being filled with a nutrient fluid that is keeping Ein alive.

Day 2: A character you immediately fell in love with

THIS IS KINDA EMBARRASSING, not because he's a bland blond man, but because I was very much a horse girl at the time and HE HAD A FLYING ROBOT HORSE and I did not know you could love robots so I loved the bland blond man

I believe it might be from this person (who is also a Canadian).
A tweet from an account named bibliophileq, written in on June 9th, 2018. It reads: I work with a guy from Mexico who doesn't speak a lot of English. A Canadian goose made a nest by one of the paddock gates and hissed at him while he was putting horses out. He comes back to us after and says, "I do not like the cobra chicken."

Merch and gifts from Comic Fiesta! The merch is mostly from maddox_rider on IG (@maddoxrider.bsky.social, my fave bokuaka artist and easily one of my fave post-timeskip Haikyuu artists).
A selection of fan merch for the anime manga Haikyuu. It includes an Onigiri Miya cap, an art card featuring the Fukurodani first team and managers having dimsum, an art card of Bokuto and Akaashi with their two children and the MSBY Black Jackals mascot, a puffy Bokuto pin, and two cards featuring Bokuto and Akaashi combining their hands into a heart sign. Also in the photo is a pack of strawberry Pocky, two mints, and a piece of green tea candy.

Trying to match floss colours to my cat.
A few skeins of embroidery floss, all in various shades of grey, are held against the fur of a ticked tabby cat.

I love it when my faves connect.
Tsukishima and Kuroo from Haikyuu are discussing a movie poster. Kuroo says, "Ugh, dammt. Bokuto actually looks like somebody who could be a world-saving hero if he tried. Ticks me off." Tsukishima responds, "While you, Kuroo-san, seem like somebody who would be an underling in a secret organization plotting to take over the world." Kuroo retorts, "And you, Tsukki, would be an effective lieutenant in an evil organization secretly wrestling with a crisis of conscience until it all came to a head and you finally broke with your wicked past to help the good guys but lost your life in the process. Still, you'd get a poignant death scene where you'd quietly die with a satisfied smile on your face." Tsukishima responds, "Excuse me?!" A scene from Gintama showing Kamotarou Itou of the Shinsengumi, surrounded by his supporters. He looks similar to Tsukishima from Haikyuu.

Gintoki is like me fr (I have multiples of a lot of things I wear)

#RinWatchesGintama
A tired-looking man with silver hair and glasses is standing in front of a blackboard on which is written "Questions & Answers - Ginpachi Sakata". The man is reading off a postcard, which says, "Gin-san always wears the same kimono. Does he only have one outfit?" A silver-haired man in a black outfit is looking at four identical kimonos. The caption reads, "In fact, he has four of the same kimonos, and he washes and wears them in turns." A silver-haired man in a black outfit is looking at four identical kimonos. The caption reads, "You know.... because it's confusing if the main character changes his costume a lot."

Saw this on the bad place: you're trapped in the last show you watched, where are you?

(it specified TV show but I'll say plays, pantos, anime, documentaries etc. count, for the laughs)

I'm here obvs
A promotional image for the anime Gintama. Many of the ensemble cast are shown walking down a street in Kabukicho, cherry blossom petals raining down on them. In the foreground are Okita and Hijikata in their shinsengumi uniforms. To the right is Tama, a green-haired humanoid robot dressed as a maid and holding a broom. In the centre are Gintoki, Kagura, and Shinpachi. Sadaharu is sniffing a Justaway bomb behind Kagura. Behind Shinpachi are Otae and Kyuubei, with Madao sitting on the ground next to them and Shoyo seen peeking at everyone from a doorway; Katsura and Elizabeth are under a shop awning across the street. Kondo can be seen chasing after Otae, Yamazaki behind him. A pink blimp with Otsuu on it can be seen in the sky, along with Ayame jumping across the rooftops and Zenzou standing on an electric pole.

Excuse the trash quality, I had to take these in the few seconds my cat was not sitting on it: my planner for 2026! It has pages dated from November so I've already started using it. I really love that it has a pocket on the cover.
A pale yellow planner on a black background. There is a sticker on it that says "Keep dry", and another sticker of a red panda saying "Don't cry." A clinic appointment book can be seen peeking out from a pocket on the cover. A look inside the journal in the previous image. A sticker of a mouse saying "Embrace cringe" is on the top left. Below it is a card featuring Kageyama from Haikyuu, with Oikawa, larger than life, looming behind him. On the right is a card featuring the Fukurodani first team, with Bokuto in the middle, and Washio, Konoha, Sarukui, Akaashi, Komi and Onaga behind him.

I wouldn't say all the men in Gintama are himbos but Kondo definitely fits the "big, dumb, and kind" bill.
Hijikata stands in front of a vending machine, his uniform coat slung over his shoulder. He is sipping at a drink he had just bought. He says, "Why do our uniforms have to be so thick and heavy?" Okita, in full uniform, is talking to Hijikata. He says, "Actually, I'm marketing the summer uniforms I proposed." Okita holds up his proposed summer uniform, which is just the regular shinsengumi coat with the sleeves ripped off. Hijikata says, "Only a moron would wear something like that!" Kondo arrives wearing the summer uniform. He asks, "Hey how's the search going?"

Whenever I say the men in Gintama aren't very bright I mean it in a very affectionate way. Relatively harmless dumbasses.

#RinWatchesGintama
Katsura, who is wearing what he considers a space captain outfit, is being asked to explain what a space captain is. His outfit consists of a long black coat with red lapels and collar with gold piping, a cravat, and an eyepatch with a skull on it. Katsura tells an interviewer that a space captain is a captain in space.

Sometimes Gintoki's a mom too, no one can say the guy isn't versatile.

Gintoki being a dad against his will is one of many, many good things about Gintama.

It was absolutely hubris on my part to think I could wind embroidery floss onto bobbins with a cat around.
A tabby cat's paw is batting at a skein of green embroidery floss that is lying on top of a plastic box full of needlecraft materials.

(OSHA hadn't been established yet, so...)
A blobby thing that's supposed to be a human is wearing a yellow hard hat and holding a copy of the OSHA Construction Safety Handbook, with a bright turquoise sticker covering the word OSHA and replacing it with Bureau of Labor Standards. The blob looks displeased. The caption above the blob reads, "Really? Right in front of my Bureau of Labor Standards Handbook?"

The thing about having a cat called Skittles is I keep being tempted by these tiny baggies of Skittles candy, especially since we get quite a few varieties. This is a new one (maybe limited run?) with fruit-and-flower flavours, probably to mimic popular tea drinks.
A pink packet of Skittles fruit-flavoured candy, in a floral flavour variant. It has a rainbow on it with candy pieces scattered all over, and a few flowers.

Update: the vet said she was very well behaved and the vet tech said she was surprised Skittles is 11 because she's "so small and she looks like a baby" (this is terrible photo because I'm in my car and she's still very hopped up on painkillers). Anyway, ko-fi is still open for donations ❤️
A small, grey-brown tabby cat is in a backpack style pet carrier. She is wearing a yellow donut collar shaped like a flower and her eyes are big and round. Street lights are reflected on the surface of the pet carrier and in her eyes.
