On Sunday afternoon I went to Ikebukuro Halloween for the... how manyth time? My friend asked me how often I'd participated before, and I honestly can't remember... Doing some digging, it seems like I participated for the first time in 2015 with a Tenipuri group, so that's almost ten years? I didn't go during the pandemic, but there were also years ( Read more... )

This year both my Halloween events happened to be on the same day ^^;;; Last year there was a week between them, probably because they run on different schedules - the Hadano Soujitai Halloween event is on "the 4th Sunday of the month" while Ikebukuro Halloween is "the weekend before Halloween"... So I'd been debating whether to go to both or give ( Read more... )

Apparently, back in July, Togashi-sensei posted on his Twitter an illustration of "Bradley", an original character from the HxH Jump J novel, which prompted several people messaging me to ask for details about these novels because I once posted some summaries of... only volume 1, it seemed? I didn't think anyone really looked at Livejournal anymore ( Read more... )

Last Sunday was the Hunter x Hunter Only event!! I'm so glad I could make it despite the typhoon - it would be sad that the ONE time I spent months preparing some new cosplay I wouldn't be able to go T_T  Especially because this cosplay was tailored specially to this event! At general, all-genre conventions, not many people were going to recognize ( Read more... )

On Thursday I had a day off, and despite the terrible weather forecast due to the typhoon, it looked like the worst of the rain wouldn't start until 3PM, so I went ahead with my original plan of visiting the Touken Ranbu exhibition at the Miraikan museum, but making sure to go early so that I could head over to Tachikawa for Toumyu by 3PM, even ( Read more... )

On Saturday after the Revue Starlight show, I met up with my friend in Kamata to go fabric shopping at Yuzawaya. She stayed at my place Saturday night and then we spent most of Sunday sewing ( Read more... )

I thought I needed to do some more sewing on my Pockle hat, but I wasn't sure how exactly, so first I thought I'd try everything on to see what the total picture would look like...

After visiting Small Worlds I dropped by Nakano broadway to sell some doujinshi and other goods. When I moved my bookcase the other day I cleared out some stuff because it was so heavy, and a weekday seemed like the perfect time to go sell it at Mandarake without having to wait in line too long. If it's just selling stuff then the Mandarake or K- ( Read more... )

On Sunday before going to the cinema I had some more time to sew, so I made another hat! Hopefully this one's going to work as the base for Pockle's hat (and if not, I still have about half of the fabric I bought left to try again!)
