the future is the way of that
Have you ever grown to sort of tolerate a food you didn’t like before? I am feeling that way with mushrooms and cucumbers these days. I still don’t like zucchini and squash besides pumpkin though. Here is another recipe from the Scum Villain cookbook zine, Proud Immortal Culinary Way, the Pounded Peerless Cucumber Salad. Salacious …
I went to San Japan the final weekend of August for the second year in the row to support my friends working at Okashi-con. The drive was 6 hours long while also delayed by traffic, and I got increasingly tired and sore as the days passed. Still, I had fun and bought a ton of …
I finished my November fanart early in time for an event next weekend, but trust I will have another fanart ready by the end of the month as usual. This time I spent a few nights painstakingly trying to draw Transformers One movie Soundwave for my flower trading card series. I had a fairly accurate …
This is the long-awaited follow-up from previous posts about slow-fashion, mending, upcycling and thrift-flipping (link here!). I present to you, T-shirt upcycling featuring my large hoard of t-shirts I can’t really donate or sell due to bad condition or nostalgia. I basically have 35 t-shirts reserved that I almost never wear, either too small, stained, …
Here is another handmade lolita/otome top, made from Otome no Swing volume 19. I just wanted to sew something from the latest volume to be on trend, using this print remnant cotton I think I got at Michaels. It was at most 1.5 yards, a thin cotton with a repeating small pattern of Disney’s Bambi …
Continuing from my previous 2 posts, here are my purchases from small businesses and indie artists from July to September 2025! I was out of town twice, but I did attend a big con and also several art markets at the mall near my house, and made some online purchases from both familiar and new …
Happy Halloween! I’d been in a vampires and Castlevania mood, so I also put together a Japanese fashion gothic/aristocratic coord from stuff I already had, not making anything new, like I was Wisdom K or something lol. I was particularly inspired by Ayami Kojima’s artwork of Dracula for Castlevania Symphony of the Night, see the …
October’s monthly art is a tiny fanart of Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night in trading card form. Because he’s a vampire, and it’s for spooky season, just watched a youtube about Vlad the Impaler from Tasting History the other day. This was a quick multimedia piece I made with ink and alcohol marker …
I managed to finish a quick PC setup for Halloween/autumn, and this theme is now Liu Qingge and Scum Villain Self Saving System by MXTX. Well, it was supposed to be quick, but actually took me like two and a half days lol. I decorated slightly differently than before and also had arthritis so it …
In a previous post, I listed two sets of Japanese fashion items on Etsy/Ko-fi for anyone interested, just so my shop can truly be called an atelier. The beige/white lolita skirt and bonnet set was actually sewn quite a few years ago and meant for a variety of sizes, but I never pulled off that …
