Hello, I have a weird question but maybe you can answer it. When I was a teenager I was gifted a yukata and taught to tie the obi to make it look like a bow. That was cute then, but now that I'm in my mid 30s I wonder if this is still appropriate. Are there other ways to tie the obi of a yukata that are maybe a bit more mature ? I love wearing my yukata, but I'm starting to get self-conscious about maybe being too old for that… (I only wear it for matsuri in Japan so it's not like it's often, but it makes me even more self-conscious because I am very clearly not Japanese so I don't want to look ridiculous.) Thank you !

Hi fellow mid-30's kimono wearer :D It's true some styles can feel a bit weird depending on ages.

Though nothing truly forbids you to keep wearing bunko musubi, if you don't feel confortable with a bow knot or its variations (for ex. this one or this one?), don't despair! there are many (like MANY) other knots which would work with your age and "status" :D

If you wish for something classical, I'd recommend:

Kai no kuchi musubi (clam mouth knot) - a super all purpose knot, worn by women and men alike. It's been around for ages and never went out of style!

Ronin musubi (ronin knot) or katabasami - unisex knots that have been around for a long time too, pretty sturdy and chic.

Karuta musubi (card knot) - easy to tie and quite flat so perfect if you have to ride a car/train or sit on Western chairs.

Taiko musubi (drum knot) or tsunodashi musubi (also called Ginza musubi) - you can fake those ones (usually tied with wider obi) with a hanhaba obi, see examples here and here.

More on the novelty side :

Kamifusen musubi (paper balloon knot) - a more whimsical knot but could still work depending on your style. It asks for preparation but it's very cute :)

Neko mimi musubi (cat ears knot) - there are many variations, with or without hanhaba obi - look at this one for ex

Not-tied obi, a super modern way of wearing obi. Ayaaya has a lot a those, check for example this one and look at her socials for more (especially "frilly" variations)

Any variations of what I call the "waterfall" musubi, where obi ends are elegantly arranged thanks to elastique belts. It's super fashionable atm, see it shown step by step on Billy Matsunaga's channel.

To go further, searching for "hanhaba obi musubi" will gives you a lot of other ideas ;)

Hope it helps, and that you'll have a lot of fun at matsuri!

I made cat ears, tail and bunny hat. Damien is attached with a magnet and Baldwin with an elastic cord.

I'm not familiar with Tumblr, but thank you so much for responding to my previous posts, following me, and adding wonderful tags that I couldn't think of myself!

Cat Boi Scara Self Indulgence

It was another typical day with him. The snarkiness. The drama. The condescending looks. The attitude. It wasn’t his fault; it just came with the nature of being a cat. Or in this case: cat-boy hybrid. Scaramouche looked mostly human save for the cat ears atop his head and the long tail attached to his tailbone. He also had slightly sharper canines than a normal person but those were negligible.

“ Hey Y/N can we have fish for dinner tonight?” Scaramouche asked, peering over the couch, his ears twitching with anticipation, his tail almost wagging. “I want the high class stuff, though, not that stupid tilapia you keep buying. I’m worth more than that. I’m at least worth some Cod or Chilean Sea Bass.” He had a rather smug grin on his face, nodding in agreement with himself.

“Scara, please. Fish is expensive and I don’t like fish.” you complain. “Why does it always have to be what *you* want and never what I want? Can’t we just have a nice steak for once?”

Scaramouche leaps off the couch, now angry that you dared to deny him what he wanted. His tail thrashed angrily. He walked over to you where you were in the kitchen gathering ingredients for dinner and attempted to pin you against the counter, violet eyes seething in rage. You, however, had experienced this many times and dodged nimbly, and gave him a quick pat on the head.

“Need I remind you that you’re the pet and I’m the master?” You state sternly. You grab him by the collar of his shirt and pull his face close. “If you want, we can have fish tomorrow but you have got to stop being so demanding. Tonight, we are having steak and I’m gonna sleep alone tonight. You have your own room, use it.” You let go of his shirt and push him away, eager to get back to cooking.

Scaramouche looked at you partially in rage, partially in panic that you were abandoning him. He started sputtering apologies, but you couldn’t hear him over the sizzling steaks in the pan and the overhead fan whirring away trying to clear out the smoke. He goes back to sitting on the couch, sitting with his knees in his chest, ears drooping and tail over his feet. How could he be so stupid he thought to himself. He hated sleeping alone; he would cry for hours until morning, missing his masters warmth. Scaramouche needed those cuddles to fall asleep.

“Scara, dinners ready!” you call from the kitchen. “Come and eat! I cooked your steak extra rare for you.”

Scaramouche reluctantly came to the dinner table and sat down. You serve up the steaks: tonight's steak of choice was ribeye and even though his face seemed displeased with the fact that you were having steaks tonight, the ear perking up and the stomach rumble told you otherwise. You ate in silence, the sound of your forks scraping against the plate was the only sounds in the house.

After you clean up, you bid Scaramouche good night and that you will see him in the morning. Scaramouche looked at you in panic, mouthing “Don’t go. I don’t want to be abandoned again. Not again.” His ears pressed against his head, scared to death. He tried to sneak in as you were closing the door to your room, but you closed it before he could even move. For the next hour, he kept calling to you, apologizing and saying he would do better, but you had your headphones in with the music, maybe a tad too loud to drown out his constant crying.

A few hours later, you head towards the kitchen, almost tripping over his body curled up in a fetal position, cheeks stained with tears. Scaramouche was only wearing one of your shirts, presumably stolen at one point. He was mumbling in his sleep, apologizing to you and something about his mother. Scaramouche never spoke about his past since arriving at your house and every time you’d attempt to ask, he’d hiss at you saying it was none of your business.

He looked so weak, a stark contrast to the constant front he put up. You bent down and patted his head, feeling pity for the poor cat boy. Scaramouche grabbed the hem of your pajamas in his sleep, preventing you from leaving. “Y/N don’t leave me like the others,” he murmured in his sleep.

Luckily for you, you give him a few taps attempting to wake him up enough to convince him to wake up enough to let go. You pick up Scaramouche and bring him to your bed, placing him down gently. Sighing, you climb into bed, glass of water forgotten. As soon as you lie down, Scaramouche feels your warmth and cuddles up next to you, clinging on to you for dear life. You wipe away the tears on his face and giving him a kiss on the forehead, admiring how fragile and beautiful he looked. You fell asleep stroking his silky hair, comforting yourself and him as well.

The next morning, Scaramouche groggily woke up to the smell of breakfast, wondering how he got into his master’s bed. He started the day like any other day: sitting in a W-like position, pawing at his ears to clean them and his face as well. You peek your head in to let Scaramouche know that breakfast was ready, and no matter how many times you’ve seen this routine, you found it adorable every time.

“Hey, Scara,” you calmly call, not wanting to startle him. “Breakfast is ready. I made your fave grilled salmon along with some tamago-yaki.” His ears perked up at the mention of the fish, tail thrashing excitedly.

“Get dressed before you come down!”

Scaramouche sighed; he really liked this shirt because it was the first thing you gave him when he arrived beside the collar marking him as yours. You had given him plenty of clothes in various colors and patterns, ranging from red and blacks to blues and whites. This morning he picked his favorite blue and white top with wind-like patterns on it and black shorts, signaling he was in a good mood. Whether it was international or not, he always wore blues and whites when he was in a good mood and black and reds when he was being a cranky kitty.

Scaramouche scrambled downstairs, not wanting the fish to get cold. He sat at the table, mouth watering and eyes glowing at the site of the fish on his plate. There were also a few tamago-yaki on his plate along with some bread. Although you knew that milk was bad for him, you couldn't help but to serve it this morning as a token of apology.

“Now, Scara, what do we say before we eat?” You reminded him to use proper table manners.

“Thanks for the meal!” Scaramouche excitedly said while shoving a piece of fish in his mouth. Within seconds, the fish was gone, you wondering if he even remembered to breathe while eating. He thrust the plate in the air, exclaiming “Seconds!!”

“Hold on, hold on. First let me eat a bit of my bread and tamago-yaki. Also, you haven’t touched your bread or tamago-yaki.”

“Eggs are gross,” he grumbled. You flashed him a stern look, and he reluctantly ate the tamago-yaki, small bite by small bite at a time, a look of disgust on his face. You reach across the table, giving him a few chin scritches which causes him to purr and his tail to twitch happily. God damn, he was adorable, you thought to yourself.

Scaramouche looks annoyed and lazily tries to swat your hand away, but in his heart of hearts, he’s just embarrassed that not only does have such a simple weak spot but his purring and tail twitches betray him everytime.

After eating two of your own tamago-yaki, you serve him another helping of fish, his eyes light up and his mouth starts watering. Scaramouche’s tail twitches excitedly and as soon as the plate was set down, he immediately devours the fish. Chuckling to yourself, you gently rub his head as he tries to give you a look that says “I want more,” but sadly there is no more fish to be had for the time being.

For such a small cat boy, he sure could eat!

As you get dressed for the day, he pops his head in asking where you were going. “The same place I go every day :work,” you reply. “Someone’s gotta work to feed your hungry ass that expensive fish you want all the time.”

“But you will come back right?” Scaramouche asks, a worried look appears on his face.

“Of course!” You rub his ears one more time for good measure. “Look, you might be a massive pain in my ass but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to return. Besides, my favorite part of the day is seeing you after a long day at work.” Upon hearing this, he blushes and slinks back towards the living room, mumbling under his breath.

You smile and tell Scaramouche you’re leaving for the day and before you shut the door, you hear him grumble but swore you could make out the words “Travel safe.”

It was another day with your cat boy. He could be prickly, but at the end of the day, he was just a bit of a tsundere or even a bit of a hime-dere. Scaramouche was your beloved cat boy, and you were his master, two fates intertwined.

This is my first fan fic in a looong time! It was supposed to turn smutty but then I cock blocked my self out of it :pain: Possible part 2(?)

Let me know what you think <3

Day 6 of Cringetober: Neko

This was the OG design of my first-ever OC, Mili! I roleplayed her in minecraft when I was 11, I think?

Below are her unshaded eyestrainy colors.... and also her most recent redesign (as of 2022!) (Yes I've kept her around and evolved her for SEVEN YEARS)

She's gone through a LOT of versions. Started out as a shapeshifting bobcat moon god, then turned into a time-traveling immortal alien!

Tried drawing Ferris from Re:ZERO for week 21.

Thought about drawing Puck, but then decided I can probably handle Ferris' design... Something's off with the face again. First I re-drew the eyes and made them bigger, but that didn't really help, then I made the head shorter and re-drew the mouth about 30 times. In the end I think the face ended up too round and short compared to that full head of hair. Also should have angled the left-side bow differently.
