does anyone remember back in the day when u had to hunt down passwords like a sleuth in order to access locked koimonogatari chapters that was a wild time

#dont mind me corralling a few stray koi posts i found lingering on my og account #but YEAH #so if you werent here #i was literally the only koi person in the tag at the time #and i think it's because people were too scared of posting screenshots #bcuz of how aggressive the scanalator was #people would ask me where they could find the chapter #and i was like omg sorry im not allowed to share but if you SOLVE THIS RIDDLE and unlock the secret email you can find it good luck #the koi economy was really in the straits back then #kazu content

this is an EXTREMELY late (literally years im so sorry AHH) giveaway prize for @tyqfullbuster ! they requested yuiji in the shinsengumi uniform which im not familiar with, but i hope you enjoy it!

i was so enamored with yuiji wearing traditional clothing that i painted a few more modern day color variations HAHA I drew a "realistic" version what i imagined yuiji would actually wear in the black color scheme and a fun floral and geometric version that someone else would have to pick for him.

LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL SON [screaming, crying, throwing up]

For my birthday, my dear friend commissioned Seki from her incredibly talented friend. HER ART STYLE IS [screams] and i had to take him out on a photoshoot SO YOU ALL CAN FULLY APPRECIATE JUST HOW STUNNING HE IS. He's currently sitting on my bookshelf with a crocheted koi fish I bought because of this damn manga as;ldkfj

You can find the artist at @riepsner on IG or @SuzaRinaRi on Twitter. Please follow her and send her lots of love for gracing me the fandom with such a beautiful depiction of the most beautiful boi.

Koimonogatari Character Playlists: Seki Kazutaka

HELLO, I have a Character Playlist Series for Koimonogatari where I will be making playlists for each of the characters! Unlike my Koimonogatari playlist, the songs won’t be necessarily describing the characters themselves, but rather what I imagine the character would listen to.

Next up is Seki Kazutaka’s playlist! I have a personal headcanon that in middle school, Seki went through an emo phase that he’s not particularly proud of LOL, so I built this playlist around the idea of an emo kid whose moved past their hard-core emo phase, but still listens to rock and pop music with an edge.

Sleeping Habits

Yuiji

Yuiji regularly deals with insomnia. If he can't fall asleep, he'll go bug Azuki until he's bored or go on walks in the dead night. It worried his mom when he started doing that as a middle schooler, but she's been ignoring the door creaking open and close at 2am once he graduated to high school.

Yamato

Entirely depends on his day. Normally, he falls asleep pretty easily and he likes to stick to a regular sleeping schedule even when he doesn't have school because he's naturally so bad at waking up. However, any embarrassing or anxiety-ridden incident will keep him up as the memory runs again and again in his mind.

Hongou

Hongou knocks out immediately. He'll promise to videocall Mayu, but he'll get too comfy on the couch and accidentally ghost her. He'll lay down on his bed to take a nap and fall asleep with his phone on his face. He's the type of person to wake up with the sun though and doesn't need to use an alarm clock.

Nacchan

Nacchan has a really bad sense of time. She'll tell herself that she's going to sleep at a certain time but will inevitably get distracted by something like a capybara hot springs compilation video or get carried away with crocheting a daisy coaster and have to scramble to brush her teeth and sleep an hour after she was supposed to. Like Yamato, she's also naturally bad waking up, but she has five alarms set to wake herself up. Her brother is a light sleeper and hates them.

Seki

Seki usually has a pretty set sleeping schedule and just wakes up with a ring of an alarm on his phone. However, occasionally, he gets really invested in a new video game, and his sleeping schedule will get absolutely demolished. His hyperfixation usually only crests for about a week though before he returns to normalcy.

Mayu

Mayu has a Type A pre-sleep routine. She has all her steps of skincare to go through and doesn't let herself surf on her phone right before she sleeps. If she ever sleeps through her alarm or goes to sleep accidentally later than she intended, she'll be a bit grumpy for the rest of the day. She definitely relies on caffeine to get through these days.

Sakura

What is a sleep schedule? Sakura sleeps when he wants and wakes when he wants. He begrudgingly sets an alarm on school days, but other than that, does not abide by any regular schedule. If he's in the middle of a riveting drama, he will sleep when the birds are chirping and wake up at 4pm with no remorse. He hates taking naps though; they give him headaches.

Akiyama

Akiyama is a doomscroller. Social media algorithms have him on lock and he just can't escape scrolling through instagram reels of impressive skateboard tricks, thirst traps, and cute dogs. Miyano had to force him to delete TikTok when it was first released because Akiyama just couldn't escape. Other than staring at a blue screen for a little too much before he sleeps though, Akiyama's got a pretty standard sleep schedule. He'll wake up and sleep regularly for school and wakes up a bit later on his weekends.

Koimonogatari Character Playlists: Hibino

HELLO, I have a Character Playlist Series for Koimonogatari where I will be making playlists for each of the characters! Unlike my Koimonogatari playlist, the songs won’t be necessarily describing the characters themselves, but rather what I imagine the character would listen to.

Next up is Hibino's playlist! A mix of city pop-ish edm, jazzy indie rock, and r&b-ish pop. A lot of different genres, but they're all united by a kind of bouncy vibe.

#music #hibino #character playlist #kazu content #koimonogatari #i havent made one of this in a while so if you're new!! #a very niche series of mine where i put together playlists for the characters #hibino should be the last koi character on my docket #i might make one?? for misaki?? yamato's sister? #but no plans on that for now

[kazutakas-pinch]

koi is one of my favs bc of the wholesome friendships and realistic portrayal of queerness. any recs that are similar, in these trying times of waiting for the next chapter?

HELLO these are my favorite queer manga that lean on the realistic side and have wholesome friendships:

Hidamari ga Kikoeru

A young man struggles with his hearing disability in a world that has shunned him. Another young man with a bottomless stomach and a particularly loud voice.

Restart wa Tadaima no Ato de (sequel: Restart wa Onaka wo Sukasete)

A friendly outsider in a rural village meets an estranged son who has returned home after trying to find himself in the big city.

Crescent Moon and Donuts

A young woman who struggles to maintain a front of normality seeks to befriend her studious and aloof coworker.

Matsuki, Niwatsuki, Ooyatsuki

A young woman who decides to swear off love after several failed relationships meets her new roommate who is exactly her type but also has a not-so-secret that complicates their living situation.

You and I Fell in Love With the Same Person

A sullen boy and an earnest girl are best friends and both find themselves falling in love with the sunny smile and perpetual optimism of their classmate.
