Learning vocab from enka and kayokyoku in the hopes that I might be able to speak like a woman scorned and heartbroken

Honestly the only cringe thing about it is what came out of YouTube and the like. Playing for yourself is great

Tried a practice JLPT test tonight. I really need to learn more vocab and grammar

I can parse kanji as discrete entire words, but a string of hiragana I still have to stop and run through to process before I can do anything with, sometimes. I don't know why that is

I'm starting to be able to tell when something is and isn't a particle but it's kinda hard sometimes because I'm still really not good at grammar. Word conjugations, at least, I'm starting to recognize when it IS one, even if I can't grasp the nuance, but like... especially if I'm reading aloud...

Free floating particles in hiragana are actually harder than kanji to me and I don't know if that's normal. I mean yes memorizing and learning thousands of words is hard on its own but that's that's a different skill

Somehow it feels like playing Recettear in Japanese may have been a good choice for learning at least a few basic business terms

I've taken to walking around at night with a lantern housing a lit candle lately

🌒 It's YDSP Wednesday 🌘

I want to take it slower, but I also want to share my darker work for October, so I think I'll continue weekly posting just for this month.

I can't explain what this piece is about yet, so you'll have to wait for the VN to come out.

Do this every day without break

It's easy, all you gotta do is work with all the energy you don't have for the next several years and hope life will still be there by the time you're done

I think there was a phrase I got mixed up about that I thought was shared between Mandarin and JP that actually isn't but I can't remember what the real one is... agh

Currently turning The Nanny into a 30s expressionist drama as a way to cope with some family stuff

Comic panel where a figure (Songtsen) wearing a cowboy hat and scarf covering their face sits atop a horse, mostly in shadow, looking at the top of the protagonist Thulia's head (surprised). SONGTSEN: You're the insect specialist. THULIA: Yes, I... oh! Are you Songtsen from my texts??

Can I get a "oh that horse looks pretty good like I would totally believe you've seen a horse in real life before" please

Yeah, this is one of the things I've heard about it from a friend... and one of the things most people apparently, simply do NOT discuss about it. Very much not impressed by that. When you say that a whole sentient race is biologically evil, that's always very dangerous water

🌒 Today's a special YDSP day 🌘

It's Hitomi's birthday! Here's a little something I made last year but never posted here.

She's grown up a lot since high school. In standard terms, she's 29 as of today, but... you know. It's a bit complicated now.

I had fun using the infinite SMG and flamethrower and Sexy Beam in SH3 NG+ before playing this, but I can see the serious amount of work in tuning this game just right. It's really impressive, as someone coming into this genre of combat mostly as an outsider.

I'm not a Breakable Weapons Person, but by and large, I've been able to make do without it being a huge annoyance on story difficulty. I can definitely tell they balanced it as best as they could, and I think they did it pretty well with attention to detail. Things are placed when they need to be.

Just on the whole... I respect it even in terms of things that aren't My Style, Necessarily. Narrative? Fantastic. Holes in the body and flowers growing out of skin? I don't want to see that! I guess I'm not supposed to! No one should want to see that! Also, combat's pretty tight!
