Where you a beanie baby kid or did you collect some other type of stuffed animal?

Beanie Babies were my favorite growing up! My elementary school bestie had the best collection I'd ever seen with a lot of the classics. My collection has some cool ones, but they're mostly backed away from the first time I moved. I would save my money and my mom would take me to one of the toy stores in town that had the best selection. Man, I miss those days.

Today is the last day of the "You Belong Here" April photo challenge. How stunning is this metal bookmark inspired by Siren Queen by Nghi Vo? Designed by @litpinsandco, one of my favorite pin designers!

My pokemon ko-fi doodles are open once again! ✨

Price has been updated to $15 since I really do spend a bit of time on each request even tho I call them "doodles" (it's a bit misleading I knooow but I don't feel like changing what they're called now >_<). I'll keep the slots open until I reach my ko-fi goal for the month!

Requests can be made here! → https://ko-fi.com/gotchibam/commissions

Thank you so much!!! 💕

[burningcheese-merchant]

I'm really sorry for asking, I hope this isn't an intrusive question. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I've noticed you've toned down your burningcheese posts. Are you taking a break? I hope this ask doesn't come around as being demanding or intrusive. I just really miss seeing burningcheese since there's hardly anything on the tags anymore from what I've noticed. If you are taking a break, please don't feel pressured to answer this post. You deserve a break after everything that's happened

Have I? Doesn't really seem like that to me... But I guess I don't know? Feels like I've been posting and reblogging stuff about them like usual. I guess not? I've been posting a lot about the fankids recently, is that it? Those don't count as burningcheese posts? Haha

But yeah uh I'm sorry if I've given that impression. This ship is still infecting my brain all day every day dont worry haha. I guess i just. I haven't been doing well recently. Nothing to do with internet drama or anything I don't care about that. I've been facing a lot of genuine hardship irl. and i guess it's starting to show on here? Maybe? I'm not really sure. In any case i do apologize if it seems like I'm losing interest or anything like that. Promise I'm not. I'm always thinking about them lol they're a plague. They're a curse. Devsisters owes me reparations at this point. Or rent money for the space in my brain they've been squatting in. Tenant's rights don't exist in my mindscape, they're in big trouble

Maya Fey's Kurain-style Spirit Mediumship

This drink resembles the costumes worn by those at the Kurain school of spirit mediums. However, even if you drink this, you will not be able to channel spirits. "You need to stop judging things based on narrow-minded cultural assumptions, Nick!"* Kyoho grape syrup, milk, tapioca

*The direct translation of this line is something like "You've got to see more of the true nature (of things), Nick!" in reference to the infamous ladder vs. stepladder debate. However, these are my translations, so I'm putting the localized version of that line, since it also became a meme in English. Nice to know this particular exchange crossed the language barrier!

Collab special items ■ Collab cafe in-store menu order perks: original character stand (12 types) If you purchase one collaboration menu item at the cafe, you will receive one at random.

■ Takeout drink order perk: Key visual postcard (1 type) Customers who order one collaboration drink will receive one of these postcards as a present.

Thanks for reading all my translations. Seems like there will be a chance to order merch online, so if you wanted it you can try and proxy it! It is blind box, though. I ran through these translations the past hour, so apologies for any mistakes. I'll be uploading more translations of things such as the Capcom cafe collab menu on here, too. There are also a few blurbs for art (such as the Valentine's & White day art) that I've yet to see translated, so I'll post those here too at some point.

The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes 5/5 stars | 📖 | Read 5/21 - 5/26, 2023

First, we must all take a moment to appreciate how amazing the cover is. The main character, Yamilet, is a Mexican American lesbian and such an endearing character. While her journey throughout the book is a bit of a rollercoaster, it was heartwarming to watch her grow, gain confidence, and get a happy ending. Reyes creates a beautiful story about family and community prevailing above everything else, while not sacrificing any realism.

The In-Between by Katie Van Heidrich 4/5 stars | 📖 | Read 6/1 - 6/2, 2023

Targeted to a middle grade audience, this memoir in verse was a quick read, despite the difficult subject matter. While the book reflects the real life events of when Van Heidrich’s family was unhoused, the use of present tense and her 13-year-old perspective gives the story a sense of immediacy that captures the raw emotion of the situation— the frustration, anger, and grief all mixed up with the confusion of not being able to fully grasp the situation. The only reason that this wasn’t five stars is that the writing felt repetitive at times, but that may stem more from my personal issues with poetry than with Van Heidrich’s writing.

Missing Dead Girls by Sara Walters 2/5 stars | 📖 | Read 5/29 - 5/31, 2023

This was on the “new” shelf in the library’s teen section and I picked it up because the summary intrigued me. I must admit though that I was quite nervous about it because often these YA murder thrillers end up disappointing… and this one was no different. What bothered me most consistently was how the love interest, Madison, is treated as a manic pixie dream girl of sorts— a trope i disdain. Besides that, for its 225 pages, the book moves slowly with much internal monologue and flowery language that does little to take the plot anywhere.

I could take another hit for you

And I could take away your trips from you

And I could take away the salt from your eyes

Take away what's been assaulting you

And I could give you my apologies

By handing over all the olive trees

And I could take away your shaky knees

And I could give you all the olive trees

And look at the trees and look at my face

And look at a place far away from here

So give me your eyes, I need sunshine.
