What are you reading?
Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo.
It's a sister sequel to the Orginal Pet Shop of Horrors and I love BOTH of them a great read for animal lovers, and lovers of SHOCKING CONSQUENCES if you don't follow the rules. Not very gorey, but the concepts are often rather intense and dark and analytical of the human psyche. And animal facts too.
It touches on random strange subjects like loneliness, infertility, extinction, cancer, immigration, the concept of living with one foot two different heritages and not being accepted fully by either, sexuality, domestic violence, loss, the grieving process, the damage mind kind does to the environment, disease, Aging, Isolation, There's even an chapter that addresses the end of WWII with fucking HITLER and then a Chapter about the Avian flu with such strong Covid parallels that I almost got psychic damage in PUBLIC.
Count D was my first introduction to the concept of 'Casual Androgyny/What I identify is my business not YOURS' as well as the concept of being trans-which is a subject that does come up a few times in the series and is never really played as a joke-most of them being close friends to the Count himself specifically in the Tokyo edition (they even go to a queer bar frequently)
Tumblr media
There's also an anime; I haven't watched it cause uh. Well, im Just not good at WATCHING stuff.
Tumblr media
Honestly, 20,000 out of 10- FULL RECOMMEND if you want to get into a horror manga that is more psychological and topical than it is horribly bloody and gorey.
Count D is a genderfluid ICON and a FASHION icon.

My manga collection (October 2023)
I did a post detailing my manga collection back in 2021, but it's grown a lot since then so I figured I'd make a new post! It was also a good time to do so because we're repainting my room and while there's usually a ton of anime merch in front of the books on my shelves, now it's all been packed up. So there's a clear look at the books without me having to move anything, lol.
Anyway, without further adieu, here we go! My manga collection is largely shoujo (specifically magical girls) and horror manga.

Okay so this is very obvious of me but, do you have any Dreamlan Rush headcanons?
HI HI sorry this took a while !!!! heres your hcs broski :3
🍣Dreamland Rush💤
hondo LOVES taking sandman to anime conventions. Yes they've cosplayed characters together before. Their favorites to cosplay are sailor moon characters and tokyo mew mew. They've both gone as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask before as well !!
Considering Sandman's status as world champion, he's always a little bit of a celebrity wherever hondo goes. Not that Hondo doesn't have his fair share of fans, but come on. World Champion!
Sandman loves doing some friendly banter with Hondo, it's his way of showing affection. Hondo does the same now thanks to him, but also shows affection through acts of service, like cooking meals for him !!
Hondo also often does shopping for sandman. Sandman, like bull, often gets hounded too much by the press. Hondo less so.
Hondo has a habit of throwing sushi in the air n catching it in his mouth. Sandman CAN'T resist sometimes grabbing that sushi from above him and eating it. What's Hondo gonna do? Climb him?
''This sushi's mine, Hondo baby, and you ain't never gonna take it.''
They're both pretty introverted people, and like spending their time talking ab books and poetry together.
How'd they confess ? at the same time ! Hondo faced sandman head on and recited a poem he wrote for him. sandman didn't rly prepare anything in advance. His plan was to just walk up to hondo and be straight to the point.
Hondo loves holding sandman's head in his lap and petting his hair. Sandman has fallen asleep a dozen times through it.
Hondo has a tendency to stay up writing poetry or otherwise doing art (we've all been there). Sandman sometimes has to CARRY hondo to bed because he refuses to get up.
''But Im nearly done w/ this po-''
''You said that two hours ago, BEDTIME.''
They're so night owl x early bird vibes.
Hondo LOVES horror, sandman at the other hand can't stand it, it's the type of stuff that keeps him awake at night. Sure, he might be an intimidating man who can defend himself, but monsters n murderers still scare the crap out of him !!!

SC0R-P10N (cw: body horror)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was sitting in a coffee shop today and made an abomination, as one does. It's another variant of what I feel a dystopian future for MtR (specifically, Cornelius) would look like. First it was Dor-15's pet, now I present to you: Biological Experiment 1: SC0R-P10N.
For those who can't read my handwriting, here's the majority of the most important points: - His body is more mechanical than biological. Some biological elements remain. - Special reinforced bowler hat. - Needle delivers a "healthy" dosage of tranquilizers. - Flesh is infected and rotten. - His humanity is still in there. - Replacement robotic limbs for the ones that rotted off. - Forced to act feral (because Dor-15 sees him as an animal). - Due to technological advancements, Dor-15 now have biological elements, which requires incubation time. - Stomach heals after "birthing". - The tail contains pieces of his brain and heart. So you take out the tail, you kill him. - The tail is directly connected to his spine.
Under the cut is more info about how he'd work.
Okay, so I'm imagining this as if it were a game. One where you play as Wilbur trying to fight for his future; His goal being to get to the time machine which is locked up in Dor-15's main operations building, where his mother and father are both twisted experiments who help Dor-15 with her sick endeavors. Carl would be his companion throughout the adventure.
Cornelius I feel would be the second to last boss of the game. (The final obstacle before Dor-15.) Over the course of the game, I feel like he would've been a looming, constant threat. Something along the lines of Nemesis from Resident Evil 3 (original), but more tame. Like there are certain areas of the game where you'd have to sneak around Cornelius. It would be an instant game over if you're caught.
How would his boss battle go? Well, since his life force is essentially in his tail, I feel like it would be like Ko-omote from Ghostwire: Tokyo, where you'd have to sneak up behind him to rip parts of his tail off. For reference, here's what Ko-omote's battle is like -> YouTube Link.
After the battle, Wilbur would have to watch as his father comes to, feels all the pain his body is in (because it's basically a corpse), and dies. Not before seeing his son for the first time in years, and telling him how proud he is. Carl would help Wilbur give his father a proper-ish burial. (As proper as you can get for a shit show future like this.)
SOUND DESIGN AND MOVEMENTS! Obviously, because he's basically animalistic, he moves on all fours and has a move set similar to arachnids. However, I also think he would move a lot like Queen Chrysalis from MLP:FiM. Bug-like and weird. See the first couple of seconds of this clip to get a reference -> Queen Chrysalis
For sounds? Easy, like the Warpers from Subnautica. Cornelius can still talk, but it's completely distorted amongst mechanical whirrs and glitches. Here's what the Warpers sound like for reference -> Hunting. Analyzing.

I really enjoyed your headcanons your headcanons are awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖
Can I request a CanLiet(Hws Canada x Hws Lithuania)headcanon 🏕🎁📙
You came back for another ask 🥺 thank you so much!!
🏕: At times, Matthew will take Tolvydas on a little camping trip with him. They go stargazing, roast some sausages/fish/beetles (and try not to let Tolvydas' pet wolf steal them, because YOU KNOW he will if you give him half a chance!), make s'mores, tell scary stories around the campfire (Matthew watching Tolvydas get excited and invested in the story as he tells one of the scariest horror stories he can think up at the moment), go hiking, watch the sunset, play some games together, have picnics (once again, they gotta make sure Tolys' pet wolf DOES NOT steal any!), snuggle in a hammock, go fishing, etc.
For winter camping, they pick a nice campground with plenty of hills, good to go sledding. They also get to walk around and/or skate on a frozen lake, go hiking in the snow, have warm food/drinks next to the campfire, have hot cocoa, ice fishing, bonfires, go to a natural hotspring, and ride snowmobiles.
For spring camping, they have picnics, visit a local farmer's market, do some mini golf, bonfires, hike though the beautiful blossom-trees, fly some kites, paddleboat, etc.
For summer camping, they throw water balloons at each other (as the pet wolf barks at the water balloons flying back and forth), shoot each other with waterguns (the pet wolf keeps trying to get in the middle of it, and gets splashed with the waterguns), tye-dye some shirts together, go swimming in the lake (Tolys decides to start a splash fight with Matt in the lake), bonfires, go kayaking, try some waterskiing, etc.
And for fall camping, they go apple picking, visit local fall faires/festivals, bonfires, carve some pumpkins, go to a corn maze, a hayride, horseback riding, go on a date in a pumpkin patch, play football, go hiking through the trees with the colorful leaves, have some local apple cider, have some caramel apples, and go to drive-in horror movies together.
🎁: For Tolvydas, they often give Matthew homemade candies, cookies, chocolates, cakes, and any other homemade goodies. They also give scented candles, some trinkets, a handwritten card with some cute drawings and pressed leaves/flowers/an extra trinket or two, some knitted socks/clothes/coaster/scarf, a pretty rock they found, some of their foraged mushrooms/berries, "friend"ship bracelet, cute little clay sculpture they made, worm on a string, "friend"ship pins, magnets, etc
For Matthew, he often gives Tolys......... A book he figured they would like, something he's seen them eyeballing when walking through stores/shopping districts/malls, a soft and/or fluffy jacket (fluffy, like that hair of theirs that Matt loves!), flowers (which, they tend to eat.. But, hey, better than them just sitting on the counter and dying!), a handwritten card with some cute drawings, pressed flowers, and a few extra trinkets, a plushy, a fidget, etc.
📙: Well, Tolvydas really loves classic literature, like... Alice in Wonderland, and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
For Matthew, he reads a lot of manga, such as....... Mob Psycho, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Attack on Titan, Naruto, Komi Can't Communicate, Demon Slayer, Spy x Family, Tokyo Mew Mew, Toilet-bound hanako kun, haikyu, one piece, etc.

Hey babe , since you have immaculate taste and I’m finally done with the semester do you have any anime recs?
Well I just rewatched wicked city and I'll tell you there are 3 whole scenes featuring sexual assault to the same damn woman but it's that 80s futuristic horror vibe if you like that. Of course death note, Hunter x Hunter, seraph of the end, pet shop of horrors, Tokyo ghoul, parasyte, durarara, BLOOD+ (seriously go watch it), nana. If you want something lighter then ouran, maid sama, sailor moon. I've heard great things about chainsaw man and spy x family. Jujutsu kaisen. Yuri on ice. Free! That skate one I forgot it's name but I heard it's gay

What are your other interests outside of Sonic?
Sonic has been an all-consuming special interest of mine for the past 2 years now that has greatly impacted my identity and sense of self, however I do technically have other interests!!
My one other lifelong special interest is Manga! Ever since i had access to the children's graphic novel section of the library I have not looked back. Some of my more nostalgic faves include DNAngel, Pokemon Adventures, Tokyo Pet Shop of Horrors, Yotsuba to, and the Legend of Zelda manga anthology which I wholeheartedly believe that along with SA1 and The Gray Garden define my personality. My name is literally from the Four Swords Adventures purple Link, who shortens his name to "Vio" since he doesn't like violet.
Other past life-defining special interests of mine include the Legend of Zelda, Deep Sea Prisoner's RPGMaker games, and Undertale.
I have .....complicated feelings towards FNAF. I had a hyperfixation on FNAF both in middle school and high school, but that hyperfocus developed into a phobia of FNAF-like animatronics I still have to this day (but also I find them kinda cool at the same time)
Other hobbies though? idk i guess i enjoy cooking meals for myself, swinging on swings (very stimmy), and fashion.
While I was enjoying games like SA1, Jet Set Radio, and Space Channel 5, I started doing research into the specific aesthetic and vibe I kept connecting with within these Dreamcast games. I called it the "Dreamcast aesthetic", but lo and behold as I was looking for images I discovered the name was Y2K!! I've been really interested in cyber Y2K fashion and aesthetics ever since. I also just really like punk and mall goth fashion too :)

You read Pet Shop of Horrors?? That manga SLAPS, I wish more people knew about it! Which is your favorite story? A friend showed me the chapter about the rabbits first, and I imprinted on that storyline like a baby chick.
Ooough my favorite depends a lot on my mood, but there's a few that absolutely live in my head constantly! Distance, Doom, and Diet are probably the three that always stand out to me. I keep meaning to read more Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo but I've only ever found the odd stray issue here and there and I always forget to go searching for more online.

You like Pet Shop of Horrors?? YESSSSSS IT'S SO GOOD
It's SUCH a good series omg!!! I love the series so much that I own physical copies of all 10 volumes, as well as the 8 volumes that were published for the sequel manga Petshop of Horrors: Tokyo (sadly Tokyopop went out of business before the series could finish publication, and no scanlation groups have picked it up).
I originally read the series because I'm obsessed with episodic horror manga (of which Pet Shop of Horrors does fall into occasionally) and it was recommended as one, but what I got was so much more. The stories range from scary to tragic to heartwarming to funny, but they're always beautiful. I highly recommend the series to literally anyone who likes manga.

Ooh, this seems fun! Tagged by @cosmereplay. Rules: (make a new post) and list 5 topics you can talk on for an hour without preparing any material:
Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere. Especially The Stormlight Archive. It's been my fandom of choice for the past four years or so, and it's hold doesn't seem likely to wane any time soon.
Maine. I don't live there now, but it's the place I grew up, and it's a haven for folks who like to spend time in nature. It has a rocky coastline, lots of beautiful lakes and the terminus of the Appalachian trail. Highly recommended for a summertime destination.
Manga. Especially Kazuya Minekura's Saiyuki, the older works of CLAMP (X, Tokyo Babylon, RG Veda, Clover), and Pet Shop of Horrors by Matsuri Akino. Currently keeping up with Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama and A Bride's Story by Kaoru Mori.
Permaculture, organic vegetable gardening and edible wild plants. If the Apocalypse arrives tomorrow, I'll be ready!
Microbes. Especially beneficial ones. Talking about microbes is literally part of my RL job description, so... yeah. Definitely could fill up the time with that one. ^^
I am bad at tagging, so anyone who sees this post and wants to participate is welcome to join in!
