Does anyone else have a book wishlist that's just a single book? Like you know how to get the rest so they're not really *wishes* so much as just eventual things?

Like it might be available but insanely expensive, or the edition you want is missing, or it's a lost media moment you're certain is real.

#i do #mines by #seanan mcguire #cause it was a collectors edition #and signed and everything #and i /could/ get an ebook #but its not the same as a physical copy #and i have trouble reading on a screen for a long time #so its just a moment #idk maybe its just me #queer books #wishlist #short story collection #booksbooksbooks

Here’s the information on Shidou’s page! A number of things are repeat information from the 1Q1A posts on twitter so I’m starting with the things that are new! As always please forgive me if I make mistakes, please remember that reading manga is just a way for me to retain knowledge after studying! :^)

Birthday: 7 July

Age: 18, 3rd Year Student (Previously he was 17 and a second year student! I would say this is because of the passage of time in the Blue Lock universe, but both Sae and Rin are still the same age, so I think this was changed by the mangaka/author!)

Star Sign: Cancer

Birthplace: Tokyo

Height: 185cm

Blood Type: AB

Team before Blue Lock: Independent player (It seems like he didn’t play for his highschool team)

Dominant foot: Both

Motto: All for the sake of exploding (or all for the sake of an explosion)

Nickname: Exploding Demon

Character Colour: Shocking Pink

Favourite time of the year: Summer “Cus my cells get excited”

**Note, these next two questions were kind of hard for me to put into English. They’re both seeming to ask “You’re happiest/saddest when this happens” but it can also be “You’re happiest/saddest when doing” Based on his answers, I’m going with “You’re happiest when doing” and “You’re saddest when this happens”

You’re happiest when doing: Pass (As in, I believe that he passed on the question and didn’t want to answer.)

You’re sad when this happens: When someone can’t explode (The literal japanese is 爆発しない人間 which would just be non-exploding human. I think he’s saying he’s sad when people can’t make his “heart explode” as he’s stated in the manga before)

Amount of time sleeping: 7 hours

This next question is about the chocolate coated biscuits called “Kinoko (mushroom) no Yama” and “Takenoko (bamboo shoot) no Sato” by Meiji. It’s a fun rivalry to ask do you prefer the mushroom or bamboo shoots.

Kinoko group or Takenoko group?: Takenoko “Form is strong” (For Funsies, Itoshi Rin said he preferred Kinoko! Bitter rivals to the end)

(This next question is an old one from 1Q1A but I thought it was funny to add alongside the previous answer) Least favourite food: Bean Sprouts “Form is poor/weak”

Where do you wash first when bathing: Neck

(This next answer was a bit hard to translate to english as well. I don’t know how to word what he said properly) Thing you cried about recently: At the end of the day, when there is nothingness I’ll cry. (Closer to a literal translation is “At the days end, when it leads to nothing[ness], tears come out.”)

What did you ask for as a Christmas present from Santa: A dimension where Santa disappears

What would you with your last day on Earth: See my future

How would you spend your Holiday: Release myself from everything and become (or do) nothing.

***These were already answered by 1Q1A Twitter series but I will put them here too!

Favourite Pro Player: Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Favourite food: Yukhoe

Favourite movie: A clockwork orange

Favourite manga: Chainsaw Man

Best Subject(s): Physical Ed, Art

Favourite Song: Hide, Pink Spider

#Blue Lock #Blue Lock: Egoist Bible #Shidou Ryusei #If I find mistakes I'll fix this but I'm soooo tired LOL #I jumped to translate this when I realized I could get the characterbook as an ebook

actually all my woes are better now that i went to the antique store and found pristine (hardcover!) copies of Spock's World and the Rihannsu compendium by the wonderful Diane Duane for $5 each.

#i was trying not to spend money but..... i was planning to get an ebook of the rihannsu books because im invested in romulan worldbuilding #and then i saw Spock's World and it was the first edition so.... how could i not #the only two more iconic books i could find would be A Stitch in Time or the uncensored Killing Time #my posts #star trek novels #i might still be in pain but now i'm in pain AND i have two star trek books

Happy holidays, @kitameguire! I was your @dcmksecretsanta this year!

I decided to try the Kaito/Ran prompt and put together this edit from one of your favorite films, Movie 14, The Lost Ship in the Sky! The manga panels come from the official movie manga, and I had a ton of fun coloring them! I've included the full panels that I colored under the cut; please feel free to use as desired. I hope you enjoy!

Apologies that these are a little messy ^^;

#dcmksecretsanta #kitameguire #detective conan #case closed #dcmk #the lost ship in the sky #ran mori #kaitou kid #kid the phantom thief #my edits #i'm so sorry this is so late! i hurt my hand vacuuming and broke my tablet pen to the point where only the eraser works (sometimes)#i thought about scrapping the colored manga idea altogether and getting this posted sooner but i really wanted to make this special #i hope i made the right choice!#(also not to be an informercial but i got the japanese ebook on book walker! i was *so* happy i could easily buy japanese ebooks there)#(without a japanese address)#(really recommend the site to anyone looking for japanese ebooks)#(edit: sorry reupload! should be the proper composition this time ^^;)

I really wish I could read and eat at the same time

#like I know that objectively I can but I hate the idea of food getting on my book #autumn rambles #actually this is why I got into ebooks for awhile because I could eat and read at the same time

kinda eating drywall abt the karlsson trade but it is what it is

i consider it a win in that i didn't lose nick cicek in the trade honestly, which probably says intensely worrisome things about my priorities in the sharks org AND my perception of nick cicek's trade value but. yeah no we got fleeced not only by pittsburgh's most eligible president of hockey ops slash gm AND kent hughes, which is an ego blow on unforeseen and sloppy levels. like my mom could sell me to kyle dubas and i'd be like fine, whatever, but mike grier is a whole ass nhl gm. he should have protective charms in place against that man so i gotta ask. i gotta ask. mikey you good. you good babe??? you need some electrolytes???

congrats to sid crosby for adding another boytoy to his dman harem tho. personally cannot wait to see what happens when karly (mean cat), tanger (evil cat), and gravy (anxious greyhound) get in the same locker room. the sparks...they're flyin

#or gravy ends up in wilkes-barre. i'll kill you gmkd don't test me #back for a hot second to check one (1) thing for a challenge but i could not resist explaining my passions (gay defensemen)#maybe there's a god above...all i ever learned from love...was how to write ryan graves in various situations getting stressed out #have i ever written ryan graves smut? i can't remember. huge L if i haven't. someone inform me if i have. i don't remember at all #this tumblr break is going great. i started and finished a fic for time begins that needs psychological spiritual and emotional help #''you know what this baseball fic needs? a trans grandmother who is witch-coded'' boy no it doesn't!!!!!#if i were smart i'd lean into urban fantasy and just go nuts. blake sabol the magic is within YOU #alas the grandmother is simply from sonoma (at first she was from bolinas and then i was like i CANNOT validate those maniacs)#still packing but i'm so stressed bc i have one episode of tunnel talk left and i'm like what do i do if i run out of episodes untll sat #my sister told me to listen to the audiobook of gideon the ninth and i'm like dude i don't know if i'm smart enough for that #i bring a real ''checking books out on libby and not listening or reading to them'' that libraries paying for ebooks and eaudiobooks #per use on a proprietary license do not enjoy #so i'm holding off on gideon for now. i checked out the night tiger while i wait for time war to come round again we'll see if i listen #what am i talking about. i rediscovered spotify's tropical house playlist and that's all i fucken listen to now #on some secret level i am on a sunny beach far away from here getting [redacted] by [redacted] while [redacted]#it's so interesting how it took me a half hour to respond to this and yet i gave anon none of the commiseration they wanted or needed #cage replies #anon

Busy today. Here's some updates:

Got the JP manuscript for Ky's Overture short story compiled and ready for translating. The last 3 stories (Ky, Raven, That Man) look pretty easy so fingers crossed they don't take me like 2 months to do like how they have been lmfao

Started cleaning up the Dengeki PS mag scans. Man, was that cover filthy. Took an hour just to clean up that single scan. It sparkles now.

NEOCITIES UPDATE. Crossposted Paradigm's and Valentine's Overture stories over there.

I've also been messing around with some Japanese learning apps as alternatives to Duolingo since Duolingo's last update was, frankly, absolutely shit-tier. The JP study materials page on my Neocities is gonna get an overhaul soon. Would also like to make a sitemap eventually since my little slice of internet's getting a bit labyrinthine.

it's been a year but i finally got the drm remover extension on calibre working again which means i can get books by indie authors again!!!

#i refuse to pay for ebooks when my access to them could be revoked at any time lmao #i need to be able to save an offline copy or i'm just not gonna do it #and amazon makes it as hard as possible to do that so for a year we were at an impasse #i only get ebooks off there when they're by indie authors who literally do not have them available anywhere else #anyway it turned out that the way to fix it was to update literally everything to the most recent version possible #including using the new dedrm patch listed as 'experimental'#technology is So Fun #el talks

Thursday/Friday night, I couldn't sleep, so I started reading almost every epub (except for the watercolor tutorial books) I've had on my phone. I'm surprised how many ebooks I've hoarded since discovering [site name]. I haven't read this much in English in YEARS, I forgot what it's like to be completely engulfed in books like this. Once I'm done going through all what I had saved, I REALLY need to go to the library again. It's great to read again, but god phone screen even with brightness and color temperature adjusted is not right for this.

#Is it complicated to download your own ebooks/pdfs onto Kindle? Or is it 'just legally purchased stuff' kinda thing....#Maybe I could ask for some cheap model for Christmas instead of candles and socks as usual.#Or maybe even save up for one myself. Once I get a job or perhaps a few commissions?#But yeah it's not urgent I'm just excited. Haven't felt this way about reading for so long now #pogaduchy

Anyways, so I did something super normal and very responsible with my grown up job salary 👻🐮💀🗡

#pakige #everyone matches and I have the paperbacks to write in and the hardcovers to keep clean #pleased #the locked tomb #harold they're necromancers #i saw someone bitching about people owning multiple copies of the same book immediately after I ordered and I was like heh get fucked #like it was along the lines of the ‘color coordinated bookshelf discourse’ and I was like hm no #if I could afford the resales of the illumicrate editions (or whatever box that was??) I would probably buy them #anyway to recap I now have 1) ebooks 2) paperbacks 3) hardcovers
