I made a study for a drawing I'm planning, another double portrait based on a scene from Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. 2nd Gig. Maybe you can guess which scene. The Japanese text provides a very oblique clue, if you can read my handwriting.

Next stage is to apply watercolour to it.

Something extremely surprising when one becomes familiar with Japanese culture and its language is that the names of days of the week are oddly similar to some European languages. Here is why.

Watching Kaiju no. 8 and came across words like Yoju, Honju and (of course) Kaiju and now I have a bunch of etymological questions, as one does when they are nerds of sci-fi and languages, simultaneously #anime #japanese

🦋 One of my favourite detail shots. How adorable is this! Inside a traditional-style Japanese elementary school hidden in the mountains. The school has been abandoned since the 1990s.

Stagnated using Busuu for learning #Japanese - still at katakana (and hiragana) besides just basic phrases. I think I'm going to try watching shows with subtitles &repeat - maybe Midnight Diner, and I hear Shirokuma Cafe (will have to figure out how/where to watch).

Considering WaniKani - just signed up and maybe Bunpo

I should just get a copy of Genki and a workbook, shouldn't I? Though mostly I want conversational, comprehension ability.

Open to suggestions.

Trop marre de découvrir toujours après coup des festivals et évènements cools auquel j'aurais aimé participer 😭

Quelqu'un·e connait un moyen de regarder en ligne les films du Festival du Cinéma Japonais Contemporain en France ??? Je suis trop triste d'avoir appris ça hier, les 3/4 des films de la sélection me donnent envie 😭

#Introduction for my (recreated) solo instance 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Hello! I go by Leora online, late-20s, pronouns she/her ❥ I am happily married! ❥ I am a 🐈 #cat mom to 3 and a 🐶 #doggo mom to 1 very crazy #whippet. I will likely be posting a lot of pictures of my #cats Saria, Majora, and Link, along with the occasional Mabel picture. ❥ I am a Linux Server Administrator. ❥ I currently live in Arkansas in the US, but I'm trying my hardest to relocate out of the South for obvious reasons. ❥ My memory is absolutely terrible, can't really recall a majority of my past. ❥ I’m reasonably confident in my programming ability; my projects are often less so. ❥ Took a 🇯🇵 #Japanese language course in high school only to forget it all the next year. Currently working on relearning what I've forgotten. ❥ Use to be super involved with 🎭 #theatre. I was in a mime troupe in high school; I learned mime stuff, stilt & ball walking, small bit of 🤸 acrobatic stuff, diabolo stuff. I was active on stage and behind the curtains for several shows throughout high school and college. My social anxiety has mostly put an end to that chapter of my life, though. ❥ In my free time I'm either tinkering with my #homelab, watching #jellyfin or youtube, reading #manga or #webtoons, playing video games (sometimes on #Twitch), or taking 📸 pictures of my cats. Feel free to add me, I enjoy meeting new people! Other various interests & relevant tags: #intro #trans #lgbt #linux #cyberSecurity #programming #yuri #videoGames #zelda #rimworld #dog
