Got the Mouse Guard ABCs book from our library for my toddler & husb to enjoy together. After seeing this art I giddily told him "these are Italian Cold Steel Cinquideas!" an old fact learned from @drawfeeshow.com (lol). Husb said the mice usually wield them but just call them knives or daggers lol

Yayyy ARH by @bellhasabat.bsky.social and @raspberryhazel.bsky.social came! I think this is my 3rd copy over the printings it's had since the 2010s, it's really that good. Also I forgot about and lost it when Adrian wishes Carter luck on their French test (probably for the 4th+ time) 😂.

TIL that when Trump backs off of an obviously stupid threat, Japanese social media users say he’s TACOる (“TACO-ing”) and I think that’s great

We saw Chainsaw Man Reze Arc last night and it was perfectly bombastic and a great fit for a giant screen 🫰

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

With the release of the Hokkaido-set Ghosts of Yotei, many abroad are having their first exposure to Japan's vast northernmost main island. But how did Hokkaido, home to the indigenous Ainu, once known as Ezo, become part of Japan? One of our earliest videos explores just that. youtu.be/VJTfGfwY878

If you were a webcomic artist trying to make the next Berserk, Watchmen, Sin City, Skydoll, Blacksad - basically any acclaimed adult comic you can think of - there are dwindlingly few places you can independently publish that online

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.
