SLOWLY INHALING AND NOT STOPPING UNTIL THE NEW PAGE DROPS, I WILL BECOME A BALLOON FULL OF AIR AND FLOAT INTO THE STRATOSPHERE

I love a boy whose family treats him like a trophy who only has value if he positively represents his family or country and gives him insane amounts of pressure and all the boy wants underneath the mask he puts on for the outside world is to be loved and he's gay (Ainosuke, Ilya)

Ilya has been drinking. He sits on the floor with his back resting against the seat of his couch and his knees against the coffee table covered in bottles. He looks up, tears welling in his eyes, stubborn for a moment, not wanting to cry. But when he looks down at his phone, the tears inevitably fall. His fingertips gently reach for his phone.

rewatching ep 5 and got sad thinking about Ilya in the moments before he decided to call Shane the first time after returning home.

Ilya wants to be strong, he doesn't want to cry. He looks up, trying to hold them back. But when he looks down at his phone, the tears inevitably fall.

i asked: describe peak yaoi they answered: Mount Everest x Mount Fuji (Fuji tops)

the most difficult thing abt this website aside from the time limit is you can't tell someone they're the funniest motherfucker alive

Book cover: The Grammar of Fantasy by Gianni Rodari, illustrated by Matthew Forsythe, translated from Italian by Jack Zipes. Cover illustration is a colorful, textural depiction of a child in white cloak walking past a giant’s foot; snakes, fish, a rabbit, and dragons lurk nearby. Eerie but friendly at the same time.

Chapter header from The Grammar of Fantasy: 38. The Child Who Reads Comics Illustration of a child hidden behind a large comic book with simplified shapes, eyes, and a mouth for panels.

Excerpt from The Grammar of Fantasy: books, new inventions are often added to the basic sounds, and these, too, must be deciphered. The entire course of the story must be reconstructed in the imagination, combining the signals provided by the captions, dialogue, and onomatopoeia with those given by the drawings and color, so that the many loose threads of the plot can be mentally tied together into a single, continuous thread. And it is the reader who makes sense of everything: the personality of the characters, who are not described, but shown in action; the relationships between them, which result from the plot and its developments; even the action itself, which is revealed to the reader only through jumps and fragments. For a child of six or seven years, comic books seem to me sufficiently demanding work, rich with logical and imaginative operations, regardless of the value and content of the comic book, which is not at issue here. When reading a comic, the imagination of the child does not passively assist; rather, it is urged to take a position, to analyze and synthesize, to classify and decide. There is no room here for absentminded daydreams, not while the mind is engaged in such complex attention and the imagination is called upon to fulfill its most noble functions. To venture to say that up to a certain point, the child's principal interest in comic books is not determined by their content, but is tied directly to the form and substance of the comics themselves, as a means of expression. The child wants to master the technique of the comic strip. That's it. She reads comic books in 238

Continued excerpt from The Grammar of Fantasy. order to learn how to read comic books, to understand their rules and conventions. She enjoys the efforts of her own imagination, more than the adventures of the characters. She plays with her own mind, not with the story. It may well be high-handed to separate things so clearly in this way. But the effort of distinguishing between them is worth it if the distinction helps us not to underestimate the child, and the underlying seriousness and moral engagement that she brings to everything she does. Everything else about comics has already been said, for better or for worse, and I won't bother you by repeating it.

did not expect this chapter! I especially love:

“When reading a comic, the imagination of the child does not passively assist; rather, it is urged to take a position, to analyze and synthesize, to classify and decide.”

(and also the eternal nature of “comics ? for kids ????” discourse lmao)

I'm like calmly losing my mind a little this is so cute

holy shit, look at the second pic, "MY HAIR" aka these are notes from Hudson aka Hudson has looked at these fanarts of Shane and thinks about the inspo seriously. Can you imagine being one of the artists they used for the moodboard, that's so crazy :O!!!

in 2019 I won the Honey & Wax Book Collecting prize for my doujinshi collection. It's still one of the coolest things I've ever done, and it wasn't just worth it for the honor or the prize money - I truly cherished the opportunity it gave me to put the motivation behind my obsession into words.

Submissions are open for the 2026 prize! If you know a woman 30 or under who is passionately collecting books of any kind, please share & encourage her to enter!

chibi drawing of Marcille Donato and Chilchuck Tims looking hysterical with panic and disgust below the words: [WHO LET BRO COOK?] They are both sweating profusely with bugged out eyes. Floating behind them in low opacity is an image of the scorpion hot pot pulled from the anime.

chibi drawing of Laios Touden from Dungeon Meshi from the waist up, teary eyed with joy, saying, [You’re telling me a SHRIMP fried this rice?] Behind him is the meme photo of a shrimp by stirring spoon and a pan of fried rice, sparkles drawn over it.

redraw of one of Ryoko Kyu’s chibi illustrations of Marcille and Falin, pulled up for reference in the upper right corner. The girls are both smiling with their eyes closed as they eat slices of cake side by side. Feeb’s redraw uses warmer colors and brown line art, and adds embellishments of sparkles, flowers, strawberries, and hearts. Marcille puts a spoon in her mouth happily. Her cake is strawberry. Falin digs into a slice of chocolate cake with a peaceful expression, her cheeks rosy.

some yummy doodles I made along with this
