I made these! They are tiny dye solar cell paintings! And they produce electricity! I finally got to do some lab work, and it's been really exciting. I enjoyed crafting these, but was much more difficult than I thought — the glass is so slippery and the gloves and tweesers so clumsy. These were basically practice cells, and I messed up a few. Next I'll try my own dyes made from plants! This yellow is from lupinus polyphyllus leaves;

Coincidentally, I have taken on natural dyeing as a hobby! Below is a solar dyeing jar that's currently sitting on my windowsill. It uses the same plant, lupinus polyphyllus, but flowers instead of leaves. It should give a nice blue colour!

The character development in this series is something I just need to lie down and cry about sometimes.

Do you know what I really like about Kyo’s kabedon?

From what I’ve read and seen of other kabedon scenes, those moments are usually directed towards the female love interest. It’s supposed to be romantic or something (usually involving a love confession or the like), but to me it just comes off as possessive and abusive. I don’t like kabedon in general, but Kyo’s is an exception.

Why?

Because it is directed towards the gross boys that wanted to take advantage of Tohru. It isn’t directed towards Tohru herself, in fact, Tohru doesn’t even really realize that it happens until it is over. 

He uses the kabedon to scare off the boys by giving off the impression that he is a possessive boyfriend, but in actuality the scene is just Kyo looking out for Tohru and protecting her. It’s true intention isn’t to lock in, possess, or trap Tohru in a way that is supposed to be “romantic”, nor is it to confess any sort of “ownership” (ugh) or possessiveness over Tohru (once again, in a supposedly romantic way). In fact, Kyo dissuades this type of thinking all together when he brings up the fact that Tohru can space out whenever he is around. 

He doesn’t want what he is saying there to come off as either possessive or romantic in nature, he just wants Tohru to know that he’ll look out for her and that she can feel safe in his presence.
