I'm a crazy biologist, artist and padawan-philosopher. This blog is for my random art(fanarts or originals), literary experiments, and stuff I'd like to share (such as art by other talented artists, movies, pics, and others)
Current interests: Olivia...
Masterlink post for a small collection of pictures / scans from my copies of some NJPW books/magazines. This’ll be a sidebar bullet on my tumblr but I may as well post it while I’m at it.
Don’t delete my captions if you reblog anything pls. (I’m done arguing I’ll just block you, it upsets me a lot), link back if you repost the pictures (these specific versions, obviously, not random ones from other sources). The earliest ones aren’t stamped w/ watermarks because at the time like…3 ppl cared, but, the later ones are because other people came to care and of course immediately stole them all and reposted them over half the internet. Anyway - they’re all cool books/magazines, pick them up if you ever have the chance! I mean they’re all in Japanese, but that isn’t stopping me. It’s certainly slowing me down some, but it’s not stopping me. -_-
(while I’m at it, my tag for bits of info I can glean from the books as I translate them is Fucked in translation. Haven’t always been using it but I’ve got most of the fun fact posts tagged now, I think…)

プロレス青春グラフィティ
This is a magazine that Rachel picked up for me in Japan, the pic post list is here organized by person, there are too many to bother listing again here or dividing into parts.
Sports Graphic Number (The Final, 2019)
There are enough various ppl to justify just a master links post, so here it is
In the companion piece to this, here is the Roselia side of Rausch/Craziness! They’re my favourite Bandori band and I love all of them and all their songs. Like, I haven’t found a song yet I don’t like. Listen to their new album “Wahl”!!
Ever since it came out I’m watching the Rausch / Craziness mid-concert-shenanigans on loop
Anyway the context is all 10 band members of RAS and Roselia are “students” and they’re taking an exam to figure out who the biggest idiot of them is. Ayasa and Aimi of Popipa are playing the teachers. They’re also all part of some committee or club.
Chaos ensues. Meguchi is dethroned of her position as class rep, Aiai is a thief, Tsumu thinks she can charm the teachers into giving her more points, and Aimi has seen enough. Raychell’s blatant Revue Starlight reference didn’t catch on as well as she hoped it would, but I respect her for it nevertheless
