I am a girl and I play games and talk. Has been described as overly serious at times.

I will post whatever I want and it is up to you to know what you can and cannot handle.

I also stream as a clown sometimes at https://www.twitch.tv/totalclownshow

Same soapbox as always but atp I'm going to post whenever I see this sort of thing. Monetarily supporting anime only pays the committee/company. Once you are watching it everyone who did all of the creative work has already been paid. Interested to see Mappa's deal with Netflix, but I'm not hopeful.

‘Demon Slayer’ Author Only Earned $19k for the Mugen Train Movie

While Demon Slayer: Mugen Train the Movie did well, the author did not, since they only received a couple million yen as payment for rights.

A snippet of a Crunchyroll interview with Gintama author Hideaki Sorachi

A:
To tell the naked truth, regardless of how many people watch the film or how much the gross earnings are, not a single yen goes to the author. We are only paid an upfront license fee. The amount we’re paid is peanuts in comparison to the overall box office gross. The majority of the profits go to filthy unscrupulous companies such as Shueisha and Sunrise. Releasing individual manga volumes is way more profitable.

But the reason why I slog to fulfill these film adaptations, to the extent that I’m peeing blood, is because there is a place in this world that is more wonderful than a mansion at Roppongi Hills. And that place, ma’am, is in your heart.

cleaning a figurine's stand is sort of like bootblacking if you think about it
