If you are a Black artist who does work in tabletop games (or wants to) please share your work here!! I’m not currently hiring for anything but I’ll boost y’all and maybe folks who are following me are 👀 at the very least I’m always seeking more creatives to add to my Rolodex for future projects 🫶🏼✨

I mean if you're trying to cook super fancy banquet foods ya it'll be complicated but then so are super fancy dishes in any cuisine...

Jeeze. Literally I use the same ingredients to cook. Japanese home cooking is like mix and match soy, mirin, sugar, dashi and cooking sake in some combination. Chinese food can be quite similar.

Ya same. And then all of a sudden I get a bunch more ppl liking and following

I am home with a night's sleep under my belt. Still hella tired and rocking a sore throat but it is what it is.

Just have a few more things to put away and laundry to do but otherwise it's back to the daily grind.

Ya Pintrest has been a dumpster fire for so long. It's all companies using stolen photos to sell shit or AI gen everything

I feel this...except I perpetually bury myself in more shit before I can get to doing stuff 😆

You got this though!

Wooo! Can't wait to see all the new stuff you're gonna do on that thing!

A beautiful themed cafe. If you're willing to venture a little further out and willing to pay a little more for the experience, it's definitely worth it in my opinion.

I had a most excellent time at Chamber of Raven. Moe-san and Miyu-san were there again & as always were so lovely. I had the afternoon tea while my friend had a la carte. She helped eat some of mine as afternoon tea was a ton of food. I did manage to get my くじ but ended up pulling Nemesis.

I always find that I eat some of the most fun things while I travel. I did get to go to more popup collab cafes this time around & once I'm home I'm working on putting together a couple of guides on how to make reservations etc.

My last few days here in Tokyo seem to be a split between last minute fun things with friends and days of chill downtime where I generally want to wander around different areas exploring.

I am in no way complaining about this XD

Photos of some of the things I found wandering around.

It totally is. I'm seeing a few indie brands out in Japan on the fawn/deer trend rn with their releases

Eheh I was contemplating if I should go get parfait or cake today...ended up with parfait

Worth it

#parfait #mejiro #tokyoeats #desserts #teatime

Lol poor JC hasn't got black hair cause I didnt get around to finishing it before I flew to Japan though...

Finally brought the boys to the place they were supposed to be. I had 2 drinks and a dessert. I may go back again to try some of the other sweets/food

I mean I was taking pics for photo references too but my stomach apparently rules all my decisions lol

Was walking around exploring as I do when I'm at a loose end while in Tokyo and saw this adorable bakery and cafe. The display is all done in meringue and now I feel like I need to go try it.

Patreon is a good option if YouTube is too daunting at first. You can start there and maybe make it a goal on Patreon to get an episode on YouTube.

Omg looks so awesome

Ya, I use it less and less especially since they decided to boot me last year for no reason. Showed me I really dont need Meta products.

Going to the Ribbon 70th Anniversary cafe tomorrow, but sadly my cousin got sick and I can't change the rezo. I'll need to order for 2 T-T and my Tokyo friends are all working.

Gotta smuggle the extra food out in a Tupperware I guess unless someone joins me

I really miss chronological feeds. It's a big reason along with all the ads that make me spend less time on my socials.

Kk good thing I took photos of the steps and whatnot XD I may also whip up a list of fun places to go all dressed up and such as well. Found a new place or two XD

It's always so satisfying

I've figured out a lot of processes this trip to Tokyo and last. Wondering if ppl would like a blog post or something on how to do things like make reservations for collab cafes, going for merch releases and entering in the lottery draws for clothing brand shopping for the big sales and such.

Kinda thinking of giving up mine. I barely use it as it is

Got the last few things on my to get for other ppl list. Just gonna chill and relax my last few days in Tokyo.

Might hit up the strawberry and chocolate fair at SkyTree or just go to a few tasty dessert places.

Feeling pretty good overall and well rested

Not me planning my next trip to Japan while I'm still in Japan

Ehehe.

Finally got a chance to head to #明治神宮 #Meijijingu to give back my old #omamori #お守り & pick up a new one.

It's the first time in a long time I've been able to do so properly. Here's hoping for a repeat next year.
