Bought this Wicked blanket at the theater and I genuinely love it—super soft, kept me warm and cozy during the movie when I started to get cold—but it wasn’t until I got home that I realized how comically, terribly pixilated it is
Close up of the Wicked For Good logo on the blanket looking very badly pixilated Close up of Ariana Grande on the blanket looking not as bad but still pixilated Full shot of Wicked blanket featuring Ariana Grande as Glinda on the left holding a wand and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba holding her broomstick.

To top the day off, I finally went to Akiba House with friends and it did not disappoint.

Also props to this amazing Zeke cosplayer, who when I asked to take his picture said “Wait, let me get the baseball out.”

Attack on Titan Beyond the Walls World Tour at Carnegie Hall was too phenomenal for words. AOT will always be my favorite series of all time, and I’m so thankful I got to spend the afternoon enjoying the music from the series with the folks who made it happen in a sold out venue full of fellow fans.

The purple in my hair is fading into what I’m dubbing “goth lavender lemonade”

Still want to customize it a bit more but I think it’s no exaggeration to say my Reo ita bag is a work of art.
Lavender colored itabag with pins of Reo Mikage, a character from Blur Lock. The pins, a set exclusive to the Blue Lock exhibition, feature artwork of Reo from the Blue Lock manga and are a shiny metallic purple. Close up of one of the pins of Reo Mikage, dangling from the bag in a protective, clear lavender pouch.
