She can’t remember her girlfriend Mari’s favorite foods, the anniversary of their first date, and–most important of all–what they got up to in bed. Mari proposes an overnight trip to a hot springs resort, which would be the perfect chance for them to clear the air and put their complicated…

Doll rescue! Takara Tomy Jenny Chiffon Rabbit

She was on sale for 850 yen (around 6 USD) on Mercari Japan and when I found her on ZenMarket I couldn't resist. She was dirty and her hair was a mess, but I managed to clean her up nicely 💕.

She came with this dress that belongs to Sunny Day Date Jenny and it's adorable!!. I absolutely love her cutesy face and her wonderful cotton candy hair ❤️.

📈 💔 and 🧠(for yen my wife)

📈 How many fics do you have?

if we're including all the little "concepts" i post, then SO fucking many hahaha! but going by "fully completed original works on ao3" numbers, then it's 9.

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

petals and pining broke my heart when it ended. i genuinely labored over the "post" button for that last chapter for SO long, it just didn't feel right for it to be over after i'd spent so much time on it!

🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.

hmmmmm i have trouble remembering what's headcanon and what's canon for characters sometimes..... and yen's so great that it's hard to pick any one thing to be a Favorite!!!

ok this isnt a headcanon actually so im cheating but. a thing i think about a lot is that jenny slate tweet that's like "i just want someone to grab my little face and say ON PURPOSE. ON PURPOSE I CARE ABOUT YOU" and yennefer and like. like it just mmakes me so emotional. like it isnt because she's beautiful or powerful or cunning or anything else courts and bastards have valued her for-- took advantage of her for-- and it's not curses or wishes or djinns that make anyone, make GERALT say this, it's just on purpose. it's just because she's her. she is cared for, on purpose.

#ON PURPOSE geralt says ON PURPOSE WE CARE jaskier says YOU ARE MY FAMILYON PURPOSE ciri says as she takes yen's hand

HoloX Meeting Vol. 1 is a cute debut but doesn't quite stand out #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovel #manga

When a job offer arrives from a company she never applied to, Sakamata Chloe is naturally suspicious, but she can’t say no to the generous salary. Her new workplace is the Secret Society holoX, where fellow members Takane Lui, Hakui Koyori, Kazama Iroha, and their leader La+ Darknesss strive to achieve nothing short of world domination! (If they ever manage to scrounge up the funds, that is.)…

Comedy Yuri Manga 'Cheerful Amnesia' Licensed in English

On Friday, at a panel at Sakura-Con, Yen Press announced that it has licensed Oku Tamamushi's Yuri romcom manga Cheerful Amnesia (Akarui Kioku Soushitsu) for English release. The first English volume will be published in the Fall of 2023.

The publisher describes the series:

Arisa has lost her memories of the past three years, and her girlfriend, Mari, worries that means their love has vanished as well. But when Arisa lays eyes on her, it’s love at first sight all over again! Hoping to rekindle what they had, Mari decides to help Arisa experience things with her once more, from dates to kissing and beyond…?!

Cheerful Amnseia was serialized in Comic Cune from June 2016 until its conclusion in December 2020. Media Factory publishes six volumes of the manga in Japanese. The manga is translated into English by Jenny McKeon (Bloom Into You, Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon).

Oku Tamamushi is a Japanese Yuri mangaka known for her series Cheerful Amnesia and I Don't Know Which Is Love, the first volume of which Yen Press will release in English on August 22. She has also contributed to the Éclair, Whenever Our Eyes Meet, and Yuri Drill anthologies, the first two of which are licensed in English by Yen Press. Lilyka Manga publishes two of her doujinshi works, Embrace Me More, Kiss Me More and Irresistible Person, in English digitally.

The first English volume of Cheerful Amnesia releases in English this Fall.

#finishedbooks The Three Penny Opera by Bertolt Brecht. Was happy to find this at my favorite book store in mitaka for a mere 300 yen. I have read Brecht on Brecht, several theories on his plays, even his house of un-American activities statement, to enjoying the jazz standard 'Mack the Knife' and Nina Simone's beautifully tortured live rendition of 'Pirate Jenny' from the play (will get into later)...but never what is often considered his most known play here. Which makes sense, I really enjoy breaking things down on layers to understand why they are great in search of something (I perhaps will never find) and Brecht's dialectical theatre offers so much through his philosophical aesthetics: alienation, Epic Theatre, gestus, 4th wall, mimesis, empathy, illusion, psychological dissonance, etc. With that the story is rather straightforward as it has become an archetype. It is about the rise and fall of an underworld figure known as Mac the Knife (for his use of the weapon) who decides rather matter of factly to marry above his class, is betrayed, caught, and awaits death before a Brechtian device intervenes. What becomes special are the details: the moral dilemmas, the challenges to the audience empathy, the introduction of jazz into theatre, and the Epic Theatre acting requirements. But think from here I will go into just the enduring power of what it all comes to and really the specific reason why I wanted to read THIS play. I always loved Nina Simone and I remember hearing a bonus track on that Hi-Tek Reflection Eternal album called "Four Women" inspired by her in high school. I searched my dad's cds and he had a greatest hits Simone album and I absorbed it. I have always been an album person (don't like playlists) as I want to hear the artist's statement...that is what an album should be. During tbe pandemic I was like let me just spend days with each Nina Simone record on repeat and it was her 'In Concert' album that just had a huge effect on me. As far as live albums go...off the top I mean that Parker record where he played with a plastic saxophone, Cash's prison record, James Brown at the Apollo, Cobain's unplugged, Cooke at the Harlem Square, Jarret's Köln Concert...I think Simone's is my favorite, just the sustained intensity she plays simultaneously attacking and humoring the very timid Carnegie Hall audience at the height of civil rights. So what she did with Pirate Jenny was just add an adjective a single adjective and it changed the whole context of the song...both a testament to Brecht's universality and Simone's ingenuity. But in just saying crummy "southern" town that song becomes the most sinister piece of music I have ever heard about black revenge. Glad I finally got the complete context with the Three Penny Opera which all relates because US systemic racism is economic at its base as was the preoccupation with Brecht's play.
