i watched My Neighbor Totoro for the first time, here's my chronological viewing experience:
woo-hoo! dusty old japanese house with japanese architectural details aplenty
these kids got some ENERGY my goodness
family dynamic's adorable. peak quality dad humor
kids: our house is haunted. parents: that's so cool!
hell yeah, wrinkled old lady rep. we need more friendly old women with potato faces and warts like storybook witches. the backbone of society, these ladies
Plot Summary: Small Child Bothers Local Wildlife
sacred tree sacred tree sacred tree
Introducing Totoro! nobody said this fucker's got TEETH???
Uh-Oh! Inadequate Parental Supervision Detected
(you misplaced your four year old! you're not supposed to do that)
4-year-old: i met a magic forest spirit. dad: oh shit fr?
4-year-old: *angrily hugs sister* missed u bitch
this small child has a smile like a toad. like a really really cute toad. like the cutest toad in all existence. i love her she's perfection please just let this child be happy
rice paddies are so pretty....so back breaking....rice is such a prissy crop
*my crush is stranded in a rainstorm* takethisumbrellait'syoursnowBYE *runs away in panic im so good at flirting*
Giant Chinchilla Learns To Hold Umbrella, Is Fucking Delighted By Experience

LO-FI HIP HOP STUDY LIST!
crouching down to peer at dirt--A++ top notch foundational childhood experience
mom has a big ass forehead

huh so we're all just climbing aboard the giant chinchilla's tiddies now ok
class trip!
the pure adrenaline of Vegetable Gardening
no! the small child is crying! she is bawling her eyes out. no no no. i can't cope with this. emotionally i cannot cope 🥺🥺🥺
i've only had Mei one hour but if anything happens to her i will raze this earth and everyone on it
please someone make this small child smile again
oh no the tall child is crying too
i can't take this. my heart can't take this.
i need a drink
small child running determined to deliver magic veggies to the hospital. this kid is my hero
she is also unsupervised. so, so unsupervised
babe you are FOUR
godDAMMIT ghibli, you cannot give me watercolor sunsets while a small child is missing. u are killing me. my heart is giving out. this is me, experiencing heart failure.
Totoro to the rescue!
no wait CATBUS to the rescue!
i admit i initially thought the cat was a creep. alice in wonderland prejudiced me. i have revised my notions of smiling cats
i've decided the cat is a metaphor for the magic of a robust public transport system
MEI'S OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and so is mom. she's a lovely lady im sorry for what i said about her forehead. it's a noble forehead.
happy ending YES bitch!!!!!!
ok. ok ok ok. that was magical.
(as a first-time adult viewer i was worried i wouldn't be able to Access the Magic. but i could and i did and it was incredible. that was culture. that was ART. joy distilled into animated form. holy rites of childhood. i understand now. how glorious, this world we grow out of. how full of marvels. i'm going outside to smell grass and sun and get dirt under my fingernails. miraculous.)

Where the light meets the grass
Story :
Shorui Shigoto was far from a very calm entity. He was easily irritated by the noises and commotion that could be around him.
Otherwise, he could unleash his immeasurable force with his rage. Which, when used, could destroy everything in its path, creating earthquakes and tsunamis.
So, when he could, this animalistic God, almost 4 meters high, withdrew from the top of the mountain on which he watched.
Here, was the only place where he could have his peace...not worrying about the pilgrims who come to visit him to have his blessing.
Commentary :
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa LOOK AT DAT IDK???
That look just SO awesome and I am SO proud of this drawing. It's been a long time I wanted a boar piggy, but instead, I designed some kind of a mix with boar and potamochoerus they are just so cute erjgsrth
The lineart and colouring and background and shadowand light was a delight to do :3
Hope you like one of my most recent OC/design as much as I do :D

💕 twst 2024 valentine gifts! 🎁
***Please note:*** Sharing merch images + news is not intended to encourage and/or to pressure anyone into making purchases. It is up to the individual consumer to be informed and to choose how they spend their money.
For general information about how TWST Valentine Gifts work, check out this post.
For character signatures and the messages from previous years, check out this post.
The gifts for 2024 are 100 ml fragrance sprays. These are not perfumes, they are more like room sprays. According to Yana, they worked with professional perfumers and the fragrances were formulated with each character's "image" in mind!
These each come with a unique bottle label, plus a ribbon and a little wooden charm with a matching character motif on it. You can soak the wooden charm with the fragrance and use it to diffuse the smell through a room.
Preorders are open until 10 March 2024.
(Warning: in the case that these contain alcohol, it will not be possible to send the fragrances overseas due to shipping regulations against flammable materials. The paper goods—the 2024 Valentine Gift messages—will still be able to be sent out.)
Each character has their own unique scent. The following are summaries of what each spray smells like overall (according to official posts), but each also has its own more detailed descriptions of the top, middle, and base notes on their individual website postings.
Heartslabyul
Riddle - refined rose (geranium, rose, honey)
Trey - powdery mint (spearmint of course the guy obsessed with dental hygiene smells like MINT, white flowers, powdery musk and balsam)
Cater - lemon herbal (lemon, herbs like juniper, amber and cedar)
Ace - naughty cherry (cherry, almond and rose, vanilla and woods)
Deuce - citrus rhubarb (citrus and rhubarb, rose, warm musk)
Savanaclaw
Leona - clear wild (rosemary, neroli, musk and sandalwood)
Ruggie - dried nuts (hazelnut, vanilla, creamy musk and dry woods)
Jack - calm pear (pear, osmanthus, amber)
Octavinelle
Azul - salty milk (salt and minerals, herbs like sage, milky musk)
Jade - bergamot amber (bergamot, herbs, patchouli and amber)
Floyd - aqua vetiver (Japanese pepper yes, a literal pepper, a fresh bouquet, vetiver and musk)
Scarabia
Kalim - mystical musk (citrus, white flowers, creamy musk and sandalwood)
Jamil - smoky herb (spicy herbs, white flowers, musk and smoky leather)
Pomefiore
Vil - elegant fruity (cassis, white flowers, vanilla and musk and sandalwood)
Rook - dry green (eucalyptus, geranium, tonka beans)
Epel - spicy apple (cinnamon, apple, vanilla and sandalwood)
Ignihyde (warning that these were vaguely worded compared to the rest of the fragrances)
Idia - clean musk (“something refreshing”, lily of the valley, sweet musk why does bro smell sweeter than most of the others www)
Ortho - bluish clean (rosemary and other “fresh” smells, clear plants/greens he’s touching the grass that Idia refuses to)
Diasomnia
Malleus - deep oak moss (forest, spices, sweet and earthy vetiver and oak moss)
Lilia - historical depths (citrus, roses and white flowers, thick musk and sandalwood)
Silver - musty green (black pepper, cedarwood, warm sandalwood and musk)
Sebek - honest aroma (rosemary, white flowers and spices, patchouli and oak moss he shares a base note with Malleus, this was 100% intentional)
Grim + NRC Staff Shoot, no Rollo, Fellow, or Gidel valentine gift :(
Grim - innocent soap (citrus, lily of the valley, peach and musk he just hopped out of the bath)
Crowley - mysterious calm (***fatty aldehyde***, white flowers, cedarwood and amber)
Crewel - sweet charm (amber, woods, sweet oak moss)
Trein - tense wood (spices, dry woods, “sweet tangy tone” sorry, the base was vague)
Vargas - manly musk (smoky spices, incense, vetiver and leather and musk)
Sam - exotic bouquet (cloves, bouquet including ylang-ylang, tropical woods)
***NOTE ABOUT CROWLEY’S:*** I looked this up! Apparently, fatty aldehydes smell like fresh citrus but I believe the literally translated term is “fatty aldehyde”; not sure why it was worded like this. There are many forms of aldehyde and each smells different. For example, one form smells closer to a rose. Another supposedly smells like rancid butter 💀
