@itseliep I'm glad I got to meet you and hang out with you, and I'm very happy that your Sunday was so good! I didn't do much, but hopefully I'll be there to cheer you all on in Repo!
Thank you again for the card ^_^ I love that my kitty Boo is immortalized in it, bless you Elie 🥰
day 74 of drawing pokémon for all of you 🥹
Today: Snorlax for @OldGrumpyBear
I don't think I'll ever have enough words to thank you for helping me complete my controller 😭 you made me tear up on stream, I couldn't believe it was happening- 🥹
Grumpy Bear is one of those people who is always looking after others. The kind of person who gets happy seeing other people smile, reach their goals and get excited about the things they love 🥹💛
I just had the pleasure to say hi to you but I could already notice that you have such a big heart 😭✨️
Btw, I asked Katsumi and Blazey for ideas while making this card because I wanted it to feel extra special, so this is a bit of them too 🥹💛
Thank you for your kindness, your support and for being such a wonderful friend (because I heard an inmense list of how sweet and kind you are, I literally ran out of space because I had lots of good things to add in your card🥹)
You deserve all the good things life has to offer, and please remember to treat yourself too 😭💛
(and I'm so sorry for the late post today 🥺 I wasn't feeling very well yesterday, so I got a little behind 😭)

I joined a random walking tour and got paired with this super quiet Japanese girl who barely spoke.
We were at Osaka Castle when she suddenly opened up.
Her: I like talking to foreigners, Japanese people… too much pressure.
Me: Yeah, I noticed everyone is super polite but stressed.
We keep walking, talking about normal stuff, Then out of nowhere:
Her: Can I ask you something personal?
Me: Sure.
Her: Do you think it’s weird if I quit my good job to become professional cosplayer? My parents will die.
Before I can answer, she pulls out her phone and shows me her secret Instagram — full cosplay of every anime character imaginable. She’s insanely good.
Me: This is amazing! You should go for it.
Her: dead serious “Okay, Then today is the day, I will tell them now.”
She video calls her parents right there in the middle of the castle grounds while I’m awkwardly standing beside her. The mom starts yelling in Japanese, dad looks heartbroken… then suddenly both of them start laughing.
Mom (in English for my benefit): “Finally! We knew since you were 12. Just don’t cosplay your father again, he still has trauma.”
I was standing there like what the hell just happened. She hugged me after and said I was her lucky charm.
Osaka really is the chaos capital of Japan.
Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
