it's been in decline recently, but there are still one or two series I try and keep up with.

[X] You think that anime and western cartoons are two separate things.

[] You're in anime club.
I'm in an Asian culture club, and while we do have Anime Day, it's not the primary focus.

[X] You've cosplayed at least once.

[] You counted Halloween costumes from when you were a kid as cosplay.

sort of. I like ramen and rice and the different kinds of buns they have--hibachi's a ton of fun too. but I'm no expert.

[X] You like any of the following in particular: sushi, Pocky, cheap ramen, ramune.
POCKY fdjfdjgkjgh I don't care how weeaboo-ish it is, that stuff is fantastic.

ew no.

ACTA Awareness.

2 min read
right, so.

while I'm thrilled to know that the SOPA and PIPA bills have been postponed indefinitely, there's another issue just as dire that needs to be addressed: ACTA.

it's similar to the former two, but on a drastically larger scale. here are some things I picked up off of tumblr.

    Five facts:

    1. ACTA isn't the "European" SOPA. It's nearly GLOBAL, and will apply to every country that signs the treaty.

    2. ACTA is far more aggressive. ACTA will not simply affect websites and have them blocked out of the internet - its measures go as far as surveillance of anything you share through private channels.

    3. ACTA doesn't have a campaign against it that is as wide-spread and organized as the SOPA one. This is DANGEROUS, as there's less time between now and the final signing of ACTA.

    4. ACTA has effects on healthcare, trade, and even tourism.

    5. ACTA has to be stopped.

please help to spread the word on this attempted infringement on our freedom of expression as well as our privacy! this bill needs to go down, and it needs to go down hard.

due to a complete lack of artistic inspiration, I've decided to take three of them (for now).
they can be anything, from fanart to your own characters. just prompt me. ;;

Character reference: [preferably in colour, otherwise a colour description to go with it]
Preferences: [A specific pose?]
Notes: [anything I should know about the character]
