Where to Find Me:
MY “ABOUT”+F.A.Q {READ FIRST}: Here (About) + Here (F.A.Q)!
A.0.3: Hikari
{Currently/Mainly creating for Digimon, Adventure-related franchise}
Other Sideblogs:
izzyizumi (main Digimon blog)
hikari-m (official Digimon {news+art} archiving;
Asks or follows may come from here, Depending)
taichi-x-koushiro (Archiving for Yagami Taichi/Izumi Koushiro)
IF YOU ARE A NEW FOLLOWER OR LURKER, I’d really appreciate if you can send me an Ask and introduce yourself (you do not need to expect a response from me), even a short description like name (Pennames are definitely fine!), preferred pronouns (if any) and/or what brought you to my page and what you’re staying for
(Especially if you were here for re-source{s} posts,
I’ve been curious if they’ve been helping anyone!)
The reason I am asking this is because lately there’s been a huge uptick of spam blogs following with particular “patterns” to their Likes, Follows, etc. and in order to prevent from being soft-blocked by accident if you are not actively blogging, it’d be great to know in advance if you’re a real person.
Aside from A.0.3 the only other ‘active’ archives of social media that I have are my old Live-journal and Dream-width accounts, and even they’re not quite in use these days. However, if you also have active LJs or DWs and actively blog, feel free to let me know too!

Today at Paizo: “Okay, so angels don’t have inherent gender, right? They’re agender? What about azatas?”
“Huh, well, some definitely have a gender.”
“But overall?”
“I think they’re sort of genderfluid?”
“Right, because they’re azatas. They get bored. They don’t have long enough attention spans to stick to one gender. Like, that would require commitment.”
“Like, ‘hey, I put on a body and got here as fast as I could.’ ‘Weren’t you a guy last time I saw you?’ ‘Was I? I don’t know. That was a whole week ago. Look, I had this hat and I needed a face that would go well with it and this is what you’re getting today. Do you want my help or not?’”
“So, not so much genderfluid as… gender-capricious.”
Here at Paizo we have super-serious conversations all day.
Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven’t lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn’t matter. It’s okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.
That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you’re struggling with, and it’ll come up with what you need + other related how-to’s:)
If you’re having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:
- How to clean dishes by hand
- How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
- How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
- How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)
- How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)
- How to mop the floor
- How to sweep the floor
- How to swallow pills
- How to make small talk
- How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)
It’s also perfectly okay if these don’t help or aren’t appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.
{This is also (half of) what I want for all of my O.T.P.s
For Your Info}
“Escape at Bedtime”
The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out
Through the blinds and the windows and bars;
And high overhead and all moving about,
There were thousands of millions of stars.
There ne’er were such thousands of leaves on a tree,
Nor of people in church or the Park,
As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me,
And that glittered and winked in the dark.
The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
And the star of the sailor, and Mars,
These shone in the sky, and the pail by the wall
Would be half full of water and stars.
They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries,
And they soon had me packed into bed;
But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes,
And the stars going round in my head.The poem is by Robert Louis Stevenson: one of those ones that just resonate…
The image is a bit rare. I was delighted to stumble across it online in the NYPL Digital Collections, as I’ve got a framed copy of it—a greeting card from the time when the Green Tiger Press (now doing business as Laughing Elephant) first started doing note cards featuring the work of little-known children’s illustrators.
The artist is Henriette Willebeek le Mair, who was known in the early 1900s for her precision and delicacy of line and the beauty of her colors. She was the illustrator of the 1931 edition of Stevenson’s classic A Child’s Garden of Verses; the image above is her illustration for “Escape at Bedtime.”
