  5. I agree with your sentiment. While it's true that cartoons and fiction feature imaginary characters and scenarios, they often reflect and influence our real-world desires, values, and aspirations. Many of the themes, values, and emotions portrayed in fiction resonate with us precisely because they tap into our fundamental human experiences and desires. For example, when we enjoy stories of bravery and heroism in fiction, it's because we admire those qualities in real life as well. When we connect with fictional characters' struggles, it's often because we can relate to similar challenges in our own lives. And when we find certain relationships or dynamics appealing in fiction, it's because they mirror our desires for connection and understanding in reality. So, dismissing the impact of fiction by saying, "It's not a real person," overlooks the profound ways in which fiction shapes our thoughts, values, and even our actions. Stories, whether in the form of cartoons, literature, or any other medium, have the power to influence and reflect our deepest desires and beliefs.

  6. it's still a WIP, but here's something I've been working on! It's just some drawings of some images I found off Pinterest (I would credit the people, but I've lost the images. Sorry! ). It's definitely not my favourite work of art, but I'm proud nonetheless. I've also improved quite a bit since I started it, haha. Not sure if I'll actually end up finishing it though lol

  7. Thank you so much! Getting to this point in the fundraiser it can feel like a dead end with raising so much and still a bit to go it feels like you've run the well dry so donations like this really help and I am very appreciative!

  8. This isn't the first time I've had dolls of anime characters (I have others of my OCs, some of those are on my profile and I may make a blog out of the photoshoots I do at some point) but it is my first canon character. I commissioned a nendoroid style head and used an Obitsu11 body, which I then very horribly put his tattoos on lol. I can't get over how heckin cute he is ā€§ĀŗĀ·(Ėš ĖƒĢ£Ģ£Ģ„āŒ“Ė‚Ģ£Ģ£Ģ„ )ā€§ĀŗĀ·Ėš the panda slippers!! It's too much x_x

  9. So what anime are you watching at the moment? For me it's Psycho-Pass. I'm loving it so much! It's a Sci-Fi detective thriller but It's quite deep, alongside the depth and action of Ghost in the Shell. And Shakespeare, lots of references to English literature! How about you?

  13. I've had a quick play with one of the AI programs and it generated some interesting pictures based on the words I typed in, but I don't really think I could 'claim' them as my own work. To my mind it's not all that different to raiding Google images for picture elements and combining them into something 'new', it's ultimately just stealing someone else's work. As a photographer I'd be a bit put out if I discovered someone was using parts of my photos to create their own pictures, I'd be more that just 'put out' if I was a professional photographer and earned my living taking and selling photos.

  15. Hi everyone! So I have been very inactive on here both on the forum side and updating this blog, with working in Spain for the last 4 months and then my father passing away unexpectedly everything has been very chaotic but the grind to the top of Africa never stopped. With our vaccines got last week (Hep B, Diptheria, and Yellow Fever) luckily my Tetanus was still in date! as someone who has very bad anxiety around needles hearing that we will be going through Kenya meant we'd need yellow fever vaccines quiet unfortunate but hey I managed to get through the 3 without fainting (cant say the same thing about straight after ) We've also been slowly getting the gear needed, I might do a post about that at some point. Really breaking through the bank account though. Anyway as the main focus of this trek as some of you might have known from the last post is raising money for MRF with 100% of the money donated going to them, We are currently 855 euro away from the final goal of 5490!!!!!!! So with a final grind and push (think I've emailed over 100 businesses and not one has responded) LETS HIT THIS GOALLL WOOOOH (Donation page has been removed since goal has been reached) (Any support is very much appreciated, whether its donation or spreading the word! <3)

  16. For me it's the artwork. Anime style seems to be different than cartoons. For me when I think about cartoons I think about Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry, something like that When I think about anime I think about things like Naruto, SAO, FMA, with that specific artwork style. Also like @Animedragon said too it's the storyline. Anime seems to have an actual storyline with things progressing with each episode like a normal T.V show would, and when I think about cartoons I think about something that doesn't really have a storyline that goes from episode to episode.

  19. Finished The Dangers in My Heart . The first episode was kinda offputting, but thereafter the MCā€™s chuuni edgelord mannerisms get dialed back considerably to where heā€™s more awkward than anything & it winds up being a rather cute & funny romcom. A little less than halfway through Heavenly Delusion. Pretty strange series with things switching back & forth between 2 separate but connected settings & cast of characters. Got to admit the twist at the end of episode 2 caught me by surprise. Saw Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind at the movies/cinema this afternoon. Some newer anime fans might find the character designs & animation dated, but very nostalgic for me very similar to the period when I first discovered & became fascinated with anime. One of my favorite Ghibli films & heroines.

  27. Kind of sad/worried. I just found out a couple of hours ago my step-dad had went in to the doctor this morning because he had been feeling bad, they did an MRI, found bruising on his brain, then discovered a blood clot. They've just put him in a hospital room and are doing some kind of emergency brain surgery first thing in the morning.

  28. I just wanted to mention the things I got for Christmas because I haven't really told anyone yet other than a close friend of mine. I got: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I still need to finish Breath of the Wild though ^^; ) Metroid Prime Remastered Nier Automata: The End of YoRHa Edition Crysis Remastered Trilogy (Bought from eShop with a $50 gift card I also got) (Those 6 games were for the Switch, but I'm so hooked on Nier Automata right now that I'm going to try to get every ending before I start to play one of the other games.) Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania DVD Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero blu-ray A 4 port hub for my Chromebook since the latter only has 1 USB port on it which has bummed me out for a long time and been problematic. A 3rd 1 TB SSD for my Chromebook because I need a lot of space to put my stuff. I think that was all of my presents, but I might also be forgetting one... I don't think I am though. lol

  29. Hiiii again! I've finally got some photoshoots happening with my anime bjds, so I thought I'd share them here. I'm gonna start with my newest doll but will probably add some more as I take them. There's a few on my profile too as status updates. The final photo at the bottom is my setup for today's shoot I go a little nuts with the sparkles, lol

  30. What kind of anime are you into? Action, drama, romance, etc? I recently watched Peacemaker Kurogane and I really liked it, it's fairly short as far as animes go, so it doesn't take long to watch. I would also recommend Inuyasha if you haven't seen it. Golden Time, My Dress Up Darling, or Your Name if you like romance. High School of the Dead is a really good anime imo. Kenshin, Full Metal Alchemist, Hunter x Hunter, Death Note, Code Geass, Trigun, My Little Monster, Clannad, Durarara and Toaru Majutsu no Index are others I recommend :3

  33. Hanging about with some old armor! Up until a few years ago these were running but over time parts got hard to find and now they are out front a mil surplus company near me. They used ride the one below with the rubber track feet in parades with people dressed up in period gear. Sadly no pictures of it running that I know of.

  35. Today I finished re-watching, again, one of my favourite series; ef-A Tale of Memories, this is an excellent Slice of Life series, or perhaps more correctly a Slice of Lives series as it follows the lives of three couples, their stories are both separate and interconnected at the same time. While in some places the scenes are a bit dialogue heavy the dialogue is well written and has both a subtle humour and more serious side to it. What really makes this series stand out is its beautiful soundtrack and stunningly creative artwork and dramatic backgrounds, the range of colour palettes used is quite different to most series. I find it a very enjoyable series to watch, but at the same time there is a lot to think about at the end.

  40. Hi! You can call me Strawberry (she/her pls). I'm a college student and I just turned 21 a week or so ago actually, heheh~ You probably wonā€™t see much from me publicly I donā€™t think (other than in the chit-chat section,) since Iā€™m really just looking for people who wouldnā€™t mind letting me gush about my fandom to them >.< Soā€¦friends, essentially! Iā€™m not really one to post my art on forums, but there is some on the instagram page in my profile if youā€™re curious. I've been pretty down lately and wanted to find someone to talk about fun things or maybe even watch the aforementioned anime with. I do have anxiety so part of me is pretty nervous to post this, butā€¦I still wanted to try! I'm someone who gets crazy thirsty for those sweet sweet bishounen (ā™”Ā“w`ā™”) I like to draw, write/roleplay, make ridiculous inside jokes and overall rn I just want to share the absurd lil anime I'm into with someone who wouldn't mind listening! Iā€™m even playing the otome game based on this show currently ^o^ Itā€™s in Japanese so Iā€™ve been using a site to translate it. Iā€™m having a lot of fun, but I donā€™t have many friends so itā€™s kinda sad not being able to share anything ;w; Ideally I'd like to chat on Discord if at all possible, it's just more comfortable for me there. That being said, pms here isnā€™t out of the question eitherā€¦Discord is just my preference! I think that's about all that needs to be said for now. I eagerly (yet also somewhat nervously) await your response! (ā€¢Ģ€āŒ„ā€¢Ģ) A little aside, I might take a little while to reply at first because I do get anxious kind of easily in new places, but Iā€™ll do my best! Thanks for understanding

  47. Oh yes! After I left school I was having a turn out of school related rubbish stuff and I found an old exercise book from my time in junior school, when I read some of it I wondered why, and how, I have the nerve to write such cringe-worthy rubbish in a school book for my teacher to read. I comprehensively destroyed the document so that nobody else could find it and use it against me. I'm really glad there was no such thing as the Internet and forums when I was younger.
