because everyone learning Jp needs to be introduced to irasutoya, I was looking through their library for pics to decorate presenttion slides with and they really do have an illustration for everything. This one is my favorite so far💖

cute illustration of a centaur writing kanji on a big piece of paper on the ground with a huge brush and a reverse centaur(? it's a horse head with human legs, I dunno man) holding down the paper while judging the penmanship

haha, me too! I'm currently watching a friend play through all the Silent Hill f endings for me because while I'm great moral support to someone else, I cannot play horror games at all. I become a being of pure adrenaline and it sucks. (I'm also pretty bad at horror movies)

Two business man types are walking towards each other, they notice they are both wearing the same hat, and they more and more excitedly exclaim "Same hat!" at each other as they shake hands, and then wave as they part to continue on their way, continuing to turn around and shout back "Same hat!!!" at each other. They are very happy to see someone else with the same taste in hats.

Sorry, I've been laughing at this too much, because aside from it being *very evil*, that's not how you teach a human! It's also not how you "get smart", all "I just ate an entire ham, time to cure cancer!" I know he just doesn't care about people, but that's the best at persuasion he can do? yeesh

But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all the of the food you eat during that time before you get smart."

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well You'll never guess who voices one of my favorite characters from this game... big boobs *and* he's canonically a nudist (there's an educational reason why that makes sense, but I feel like it won't help my case lol)

I got a cover for my planner, hot pink ink (Diamine's Hope Pink), and a glow in the dark TWSBI fountain pen. I did my best to charge up the pen so you can see the glow, compare the first image to the second.

On a desk is a mint green Spy x Family Hobonichi Techo cover, with a green and clear fountain pen on top. The fountain pen is filled with pink ink, which looks like a dark fuchsia. The green parts of the pen glow in the dark, though you can't really tell from the photo.
