it's interesting to see how this blog has evolved as an almost art portfolio for you, just looking over the years shows a lot of changes
I think it’d have to be way more organized to be a portfolio but yeah I do just kind of dump everything here. I’d like to make a proper portfolio when I have enough pieces I’m confident in, though!
Does Japanese have intensifiers? Words like "This is a hella good dinner", "Holy shit, it's ugly", "I saw that damn cat again"
Currently, the two primary ones for intensifying something are totemo which is standard Japanese and metcha which is slang and a lot closer to “hella” or “lit”. You use these before the thing you’re describing in a sentence. As for other exclamation words, all I can think of is yabbai which is a general catch all that can mean good or bad things. It’s very multipurpose and can range from meaning “crap” to “yikes” or “woah”
What is Housamo and why is it filled with cuties o//w\\o
Housamo, which is an abbreviation of Tokyo After School Summoners from it’s kanji readings, is a mobile RPG here in Japan. It’s a game created by Life Wonders, a group that specializes in LGBT-centric mobile games. Housamo’s cast is like 50/50 humans and furries. Most of the humans are drawn by their in-house artist while the furries were commissioned from popular Kemono (Japanese furries) artists from the gay kemono community. Cool stuff!
So it’s pretty well known Japan has some exciting KitKat flavors. Recently, they released a cough drop flavor Kit Kat. Out of morbid curiosity, I bought them and tried them. I don’t know what I was expecting but I wasn’t expecting it to be good. Boy was I wrong! It tastes almost exactly like chocolate mint cookies.
