To clarify: I draw a lot. And when I draw, typically my style looks manga/anime influenced, which it is. However, it’s not because I was all “Anime is so kewl!” as a kid, in fact for the majority of my weeb phase my art was still the crappy works of a 2nd grader. Anime is instead just how I see the world. You can show me a picture (drawn or photo) of the most realistic person and I’d still see anime. Not stereotypical anime, but just…anime. I don’t really know any other way to explain it. Anime is just my reality. I don’t really have a problem with it, but it was horrible in high school because I got ridiculed in art class for a style that, to me, was natural. I know it’s confusing, but it’s kind of difficult to “quit” your reality. Anywhere I look irl, I see anime, be it the cat on a rail or the minute ways someone’s face moves.

I just like how it sounds, ok? ;w; Plus I mainly only use it online with my friends as a softer, more curious version of “Hey”. Though sometimes it slips out irl too, but mainly in the same vein of usage. Also I say it correctly. THAT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING, RIGHT?

guardianoftime asked: Um, I submitted 3 things here days ago...was wondering, how long do posts generally take to get posted? I noticed it was 5 days or so between your newest post and the last one. I understand if you're busy, I'm just curious if you have any idea how long it generally takes. Thank you!

Generally, submissions are posted as soon as I notice them, haha… I set it up to post once a day as long as we have submissions to meet that, but sometimes we run out. Anyway, I just set up a bunch to post over the next few days so you should be seeing yours soon. Thanks for contributing!

This happened to me recently. I told someone what nori was and someone who overheard us said, “The only reason _________ knows about that is because she likes that anime stuff.” NO. NO.

I thought you guys would enjoy this. Sorry the blog’s been a little slow. I’ve been busy. Might think about putting the call out for a co-admin…

Actually, I get headaches from eating Pocky for some reason, which doesn’t help the torment at all.
