Does it feel like Autumn yet?
Potato seems to think so, he feels the cold now we clipped his fuzzy pants off. We went out to Studley park today and played fetch till he gave up.
Wool komon, dodgy little tsuke obi that just happened to be the right colour and a BIG 4th Doctor scarf from Momo!
I love Melbourne in Autumn
Yeeeah, get a dose of my pup Potato!
Plug for MyHadeHeart where I put my pictures and OotD. Following yet?
I spent almost all yesterday in bed with a shivering Potato (he got clipped way too short for the weather) reading Game of Thrones and periodically wondering how bad a person I am for all the cultural appropriation I get up to.
TLDR: one serving of privileged white whine. Please ignore at your discretion, I’m merely paranoid and needed to vent some of my insecurities.
I do struggle with this a lot, what with all my kimono.
Is knowing all the minute details about what and how you’re wearing really justification enough?
I want to visit the Japan Festival today. I don’t want to look like a dumbass. I feel that even if I were impeccably dressed, with pristine time/place/occasion kitsuke and impeccably tied musubi I could be derailed by a single person whispering weaboo.
I already have an army of angry Obaasan in my head disapproving of everything I do, making me take hours to get my dressing perfect; even if it makes me late, or entirely miss the thing I am dressing for.
I do everything I can to not go full weaboo. I study the culture and language; I can hold a modest primary school grade conversation of which I am perhaps overly embarrassed at.
I never really got into the hugely traditional elements of kimono. Part of me is too scared, because I lack some innate quality and thus would always get it wrong. The other part is that I have never been overly fond of tradition, or anything that could be interpreted as rules for the sake of rules. I am a woman with lime green hair who makes games; I’m hardly a traditional anything. I wear capes, corsets, and clashing colours on a day to day basis and it’s a rare occasion for me to be caught wearing jeans. I’m never on trend.
When I wear my kimono, I want to keep this edge of my style. Because after all, if I’m not being me when I wear it, what am I but a racist caricature? I’ve had too many people say “look at the pretty geesha girl!” that I actually don’t know if I could trust myself not to snap at the next. I try to maintain that element of dorky awkward, outrageous yet homely and approachable that I know my style to be, but It’s so hard to separate from all-out ignorance, it has to be translated into this new code of dress. People just think I dressed up wrong. And I’m positive I get it wrong a lot.
Sigh. I need to get out of the house today. So I guess I’ll roll on down to the festival and try not to cringe when someone wants a photo of me making a fool of myself. Take that, anxieties.
Tumblr needs more of this….whatever this is.

Have a nice day.
Essentially, this is half my reasons for loving Iron man3.
The remainder is Tony’s face upon seeing how hot Power Pepper is.

Car got towed. And fined.
Grand total of $463, which is… at least three times more money than I have to my name right now.
Excuse me whilst I go cry in the corner about how ridiculously unemployed I am.
Tutorial - Curves on Girls by *Ai-Bee
For the anon asking about curves months ago, and for anyone else that could use any points on the subject!*
*NOT AN EXPERT THO
Useful ref! I have a few larger characters and struggle to draw them where they look and feel right to me so this is a nice little nudge in the right direction.
This is excellent!
Wish I’d found it earlier~
A doodle from last night’s livestream that I forgot to post. Albie wanted something green, so I drew a little sketch of this Cactusmaid sitting in grass for whatever reason. I tentatively call her Lilly.
Yeah! I was wondering when this green goodness would turn up on my dash n_n
She’s so cute+prickly~
Omfg.
OH MY GOD
Well, that was unexpected.
Funny AND I can justify putting it on my pr0n blog! Hurrah!
OHMYGOD

I don’t know what I expected but that wasn’t it!
Did not see that coming! Everyone watch immediately.

Flotsam and Combobulate’s first adventure! I’ll hopefully be making a few more comics about these two.
Check out my awesome friend’s new comic!
He draws the best frog protagonists this side of kermitt, and you should also go see his awesome work.
Yes! More please, Eccles!
So here are the source links.
FIRSTLY here is where I got Tony Abbott’s (LIBERAL/NATIONAL) list of policies
HERE is section 18C of the racial discrimination act
Basically, we’re fucked. Welcome to Australian Politics.
I make a point of hiding from this stuff, I have little idea about what’s going on. If there was more floating on my tumblr dash, maybe I would get more interested? This has already caught my attention now.
Signal boost.
