Chicken, particularly of the katsu kind!
I do like shrimp too, but generally I prefer only eating it at specialty seafood places!
Hey so I’m just going to be doing some housecleaning today, which won’t be too busy. How’s about you guys head over to my ask box and ask me stuff? If I don’t reply, please don’t worry! It just means I don’t know how to answer your question or it has been answered before. I’ll try to answer most of them, though!

So what info Manga would you write? I personally…
what do you define as not possible with doujin?
What I meant to say was, both visual novels and manga as mediums have pros/cons. However, right now I feel like the kinds of stories I want to tell would best be served by visual novels. That said, I’m open to telling stories through manga. It’s something I would like to do for sure someday.
I still have to do that Morenatsu doujin. Whoops.
But if I had to make a series, it would have to be something I feel that isn’t quite possible with visual novels yet. That said, I’d love to be published in doujin anthologies and it’s a real possibility that it’ll happen while I’m here!
A piece of writing advice I take to heart is a quote from Araki Joh, the writer of adult manga/anime series Bartender
“As for food and drinks, you might say they are popular because Japanese people are very studious. For example, there are only about 300 sommeliers in France, but after my manga “Sommelier” became a hit, the number of sommeliers in Japan rose to about 30,000. People like learning new things and manga is a very useful gateway for beginners to start studying something. Therefore, there are many manga with a lot of information packed in them. In fact, many people actually don’t read manga without such elements. It’s often said that readers want a reason to buy books. What this means is that adult readers only buy manga that they’ll want to keep in their homes and read over and over again. Thus, manga has to be enjoyable and informational.
This is especially important for manga that has a scriptwriter. If it’s a manga that the manga artist can write and draw by himself/herself, we aren’t needed. Manga artists don’t have time to go and collect materials and sources for stories, so we, manga writers, do it for them to add some educational spice to the stories. The reason why food-themed manga are written so much is simply because it’s easier for readers to try out what they learn. They can read manga and then make the foods or go to eat the foods in a restaurant. They can use the information right away. It’s the same with drink manga.
I recently wrote a script about a lawyer who specializes in writing wills, but it didn’t become popular. I think the reason why it wasn’t popular was because I chose the wrong category. Given the ages of the target audience, a story of a divorce lawyer might have been much more interesting, though it’s too late for that now. When a manga contains information that readers want, and also if the story is enjoyable, it will be a hit. Everybody likes eating tasty foods and stories about foods are written a lot.”
Specifically, I really like where talks about fans enjoying information they learned in manga and they enjoy being able to use it right away. I really find this insight valuable! It might be applicable to everything, but it’s certainly an approach to consider when writing, I feel.
Does anyone else have those works of fiction they always hold close, even when they’re not actively into it anymore? Share those with me! I like hearing about it!
For me, I think the two things that stick around are Yu Yu Hakusho and Morenatsu.
Even though I firmly believe you can eventually build an audience with anything, I still occasionally fall into a depressive mood and feel as if it’s impossible for my work to be marketable.
And then I get even more depressed because I have such a hard time doing any finished pieces and haven’t figured out how to get into the habit of more fully inked/colored work. This is mostly a mental block.
Of course, all of this is irrational but knowing that doesn’t change these feelings as much as I’d like.
I kinda wanna try doing art collabs sometime but idk

Thank you everyone for the warm reception Vinny has gotten here and elsewhere! I’m really happy you all like him. I put a lot of effort into making sure his design is great and will make sure he has great writing to go with it too!
Thank you!
I generally draw more original art than fanart. Even though there’s a lot of stuff I like, I have a hard time getting into a certain mindset for doing fanart. It’s a weird art block kind of thing. However, the only fanart I consistently do at least several times a month is Morenatsu fanart. Something about that game really got through to me.
Also, thanks for the compliment in your other message! I appreciate it!
(For everyone else, I’m still okay with taking questions)
Thank you!! I really appreciate it!
Just watched it now, thanks! It was very cute!
An ideal werewolf boyfriend would be one that transforms in the middle of the night to keep you warm when he sees you shivering
For the most part, being an English teacher in Japan is like any other job except the interactions with your students will probably be the most memorable aspect.
The other day, the students had to write a memoir in English. One in particular really stood out to me. His memoir said:
I am a lie. I cried. That lie was diarrhea. I felt better after.
I had to reread what he said and I looked at him. He looked back with a satisfied grin on his face. He knew what he wrote.
I should probably make a separate blog for these silly interactions. I already have running nicknames in my head for everyone (since using actual names would violate privacy). Some of those nicknames came from one other student who I’ll talk about sometime later. He’s pretty wild.

It goes well. I’m still adjusting but I can do things like navigate the public transportation system pretty well and have started getting better at teaching. I’m still trying to figure out the best approach to teaching but I feel that’ll come with experience.
That said, I will never get used to the fact that fax machines are still mainstream here lol
Reblogging here cuz yesWerewolves that get extra fat and fur during the winter reblog if you agree

I had a dream last night where me and a friend were looking for something but we were called up by some archivist demon over the phone. The demon had some crazy complicated riddle for us but we ignored him because we were so busy trying to uncover the secrets of some central figure’s grave. Eventually, the demon became really invested in our adventure, and kept calling us with info he found in his archives.
Then my dream ended at Family Mart for whatever reason.
when you think about it, werewolf transformation is a super power

8) Both! I want to become self sufficient with my art and make a decent living with it! As I get more settled living in Japan, I want to work on my personal projects. I figure as long as I continue doing my thing and make an active effort, people will be drawn to that.
16) Probably way more now. The majority of my posts are just doodles I do to blow off steam. I made it a habit to doodle at least once a day, even if I don’t post it. However, sometimes I feel I don’t focus enough on more “complete” pieces. That’s something I hope to improve on.
21) Absolutely! It’s super frustrating at times but it’s so worth that moment of satisfaction when you breakthrough. Admittedly, many of my doodles are comfort zone doodles that help me manage my stress, but whenever I do engage in a challenge and prevail, I feel very good about that.

9) Generally speaking, if it’s a silly doodle, it only takes a few minutes. An inked drawing can take anywhere between 40 minutes to several hours depending on the complexity. As for a colored piece, it usually takes me a few days because I tend to battle with myself a lot over things like color choice and coloring method. I’m still searching for a coloring style I can be truly happy with.

2) I started doodling stick figures in 4th grade or so which was late 1999/early 2000. However, I started seriously putting effort into my art around the end of Junior High school, which was 2003 I think?
3) One in high school, and two in college. However, the only one that was of any benefit was the life drawing class I took as an elective one semester in college.

1) Digital, but traditional has a lot of merits too. I’ve always believed that everyone should start with traditional first because it’s very cheap and anyone can pick up a pencil. Then, when you feel you have a solid base, then go to digital. Of course, that’s just how I learned. You can do whatever feels right!
4) I post art exclusively on tumblr and twitter. Sometimes Pixiv. Otherwise, my DA is defunct.
6) Overly detailed characters. That said, I do enjoy artistic noise as in characters or objects that are busy in a purposeful way. However, when it’s a character a bunch of markings everywhere, it’s not very fun for me.
14) Rarely, but I would like to do so more often.
25) Usually some music in the background.

Where to cop?
This doujin is kind of rare, so you just have to stalk doujin sites like Mandarake and Surug-ya until it pops up
I need an AU where Kouya makes bad vaporwave or futurefunk edits to sailor moon gifs
