Some of us don't, chores fall to the wayside, and we just slowly descend into the chaos and clutter.

Or we recruit someone who is willing and has time to assist us. 🥲

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

I think I'd feel myself crumbling to dust in that situation. 😅

In my case, I hate how it falls on me to say something for noticing, but I also know that no one else will if I don't, so... 🥲🤷‍♂️

Oh, man. It'd be great if there were JP blog posts or something on the topic I could just share, but that's probably setting expectations too high. 🤣🥲

What JP vocabulary would be good to know to attempt to explain why the native American war cry/whooping motion is insensitive/offensive?

Asking for me. 🙃

In addition to her exhibit info this past month, I also translated this piece by Ruka inspired by "Over the Garden Wall"!

Ruka's art style is full of love for the characters, and I hope lots of fans will enjoy her work!

(And huge thanks to my own dear, sweet Greg for checking my work!)

So it turns out I could watch the JP dub on U-NEXT so I could follow the story a lot better than if I just watch what's happening on screen.

Except seeing mismatched lipflaps in live action is really distracting for me. 🥲

I'm glad there's an accessible option for me all the same, though.

Anyone else ever think about how there's so many cool stories all over the world and a human lifetime isn't nearly long enough to enjoy more of them?

Anyway, I can't understand any of this, but episode 1 looked cool. 😅

Don't make me tap the Robert Pattinson quote, Leto.

“I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an assholes,” Pattinson said in an interiew with Variety in November. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

As a game translator who recently started working as a game writer, I'm posting advices here for game developers issuing press releases.

1. Prepare a press kit containing high-resolution title images. These are often used at the very top of articles or for thumbnails.
