Whenever I'm engaged in a show, I always draw them:

As they are

And human

Oh, and I just realized that in all three of these AUs, I made them have different stories but same plots

This is FINE

There's more than one reason why he's known as the 'Demon Cop'

Look this is 100% self gratifying crack. Based on my own 100% genuine experience:

I have a large tattoo, across my chest, shoulder blades and back. So, I was fairly resigned to the fact I'd probably never get to go to a public bath whilst visiting my friend in Japan, fair enough. One day however, she says she'd found a bath that allowed tattoos, and not just tiny ones that could be hidden by a plaster. So I go, very excited, and end up round the back of an area with a lot of signs advertising SoapIands and LoveHoteIs. I explain in the shakiest Japanese to the lady manning the counter that I have a large tattoo and she waves me in nonplussed. Pretty much every man there is covered in tattoos. Whilst I was drying my hair, one of them tries to ask me something but my Japanese was no where near good enough to answer. When I get back my friend seemed a little worried and then confesses that she'd found out, after I'd left, that she'd sent me to a yakuza bathhouse.

I wish I was able to understand what that man was trying to say to me.

A hanging scroll of the Kasuga Miya Mandara (春日宮曼荼羅), a mandala depicting the four principal shrine structures of Kasuga Shrine (present-day Kasuga Taisha Grand Shrine (春日大社)) in Nara, with the Sanskrit syllables of the Buddhist divinities understood to be manifesting as the local deities within the shrines hovering above and sacred Mount Mikasa looming in the background

Gustavo delle Noci. Buona visione e buonanotte.

Yoshimitsu is a notable smith of the Bizen tradition, particularly during the Muromachi period. The NTHK-NPO Kanteisho certificate attributes this sword to him circa the Kansho era: 1461~1466 (550 years ago).

The katana delights in being ubu (original length) with a classic Bizen gunome choji midare hamon (wavy clove blossom temper line).

Well-made horimono (engravings) of Sankozuka with Gomabashi and Bonji bring good fortune bring character and good fortune to the blade.

It is said that a sword fitted in a red saya (scabbard) is forever sharp and special.

Koshirae (fitting) elements from the Edo-Period include:

Fuchi (collar): Iron and Dragon Gold Takabori (high relief carving)

Kashira (pommel): Crafted from buffalo horn

Menuki (eyelets): In the design of Omodaka (plants growing in paddy fields)

Tsuba (guard) Sukashi (open work) of iron with double Masu (square wooden box traditionally used to measure rice)

Saya (scabbard: Shu (lacquered in red)

This is Bonjie!

[10/08] Happy birthday to my horrible cringe fail man!

[ID: A digital illustration of Terada from Mob Psycho 100 from a waist up view at an upward angle, done in bold scratchy linework. He has one arm up activating air whip, grinning deviously with his gaze directed off frame. The air whips provide a bright red accent while the rest of the illustration is cast in a lime-green hue with matching background. The background is decorated with dark zigzag arrows forming a maze design. End ID]
