It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokemon Mimikyu. Mimikyu is an interesting Pokemon because its real life popularity contradicts its in universe lore. In the Pokemon world, Mimikyu is an unpopular and feared Pokemon who just wants to be loved. But in real life, Pokemon fans love Mimikyu! It's actually one of the most popular Pokemon since it was released. Fans love its cute and creepy design, and because Mimikyu is only wearing a disguise, it's fun and easy for fans to make more disguises for it based on other Pokemon. Mimikyu is one of my personal favorites as well, and it has a lot of merchandise because of how popular it is. I think it's amazing how popular this little Pokemon became even though it's supposed to be "unlovable". But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about origami. Origami is a popular Japanese art, so it's not unusual to see it in anime and manga. Origami is paper folding. It's important to remember it's only considered origami if you fold the paper without using tape, glue, or scissors. You also can't mark the paper. The most common design is the crane, but there are a lot of different designs you can create. You can make simple ones or more complicated ones, as well. Origami takes a lot of patience, and folding the paper has to be done gently to avoid ripping it. Because of this, origami is an art used for learning patience. It's also very meditative, which is part of why it's still so popular even now. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! These days, people get offended pretty easily over a lot of things. But one of the most common arguments in the anime fandom is about young-looking characters who are actually adults. Because of this, I'd like to talk about it, and I think I'll probably have an unpopular opinion. Personally I think it doesn't matter how young a character looks as long as they're an established adult who is mentally aware of the fact that they are an adult. There are a lot of real life people who look way too young for their ages, and I don't think it would be right to say they're off limits just because of how they look. Characters may be different, in the sense that someone created them. But in real life, there are adults of all shapes and sizes. So saying a character is short and looks young so they don't deserve love, is just going to anger real life people who are short and look young. I think as long as an adult character is very clearly an adult, it doesn't matter what they look like. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! Sanrio fans know there are a lot of Sanrio characters. However, there are so many that even Sanrio fans don't know about all of them. The official Sanrio timeline only includes the most popular ones, and characters that were created to be released with or for an existing character are overlooked entirely. For example, Kuromi is a really popular character. But not many people know she's actually part of an all girl group. Kuromi is the leader, but there are also four other characters that don't get merchandise and are never talked about. Things like this happen a lot with Sanrio characters. If they aren't popular, then they don't exist. Sanrio will cancel projects and bury characters quickly if they think they won't make enough money. This actually happened to Kirimichan, who was supposed to get a whole series that featured Kirimichan and their friends in human form. I really wish Sanrio wasn't like this, since it doesn't give anyone the opportunity to like something. Instead, it pushes fans towards things they're supposed to like and away from things they actually like. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As a little bonus, I'll be including a picture of Kuromi with her friends below. Enjoy!

What are dual-type Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Newer Pokemon fans may not know what a dual-type Pokemon is. However, the answer is rather obvious. A dual-type Pokemon is a Pokemon with two types instead of one. The same strength and weakness rules apply, but with dual-type Pokemon you have to find the strengths and weaknesses for both types instead of one. There's quite a few dual-type Pokemon now, and if you know your Pokemon types it's easy to learn how to use them. I wanted to talk about this because a lot of fans act like these are obvious things, but new fans won't know anything about this. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! Today I got a chance to play Mushroom Oasis, which is a free to play visual novel game made by DeersphereStudios, and it's available on Itch.io. I'm not going to go into too much detail to avoid spoilers, but I'm about halfway through one route and I already have mixed feelings about this game. I love the art style, and Mychael himself is a good character with a really amazing design. But the story is a little frustrating. The main character makes stupid decisions, and there are barely any choices for you to make. Playing the game feels like I'm just watching someone do the opposite of everything I tell them to do. It gets so annoying very quickly. Sometimes I pick an option and the main character does the exact opposite thing instead. Plus sometimes decisions are taken away from you, which makes it even more frustrating to play. I don't really like when games force you to do certain things unless it's done properly, and since this game already doesn't have very many choices, it doesn't feel like it's done properly. However, I will say that's a personal preference, so it might feel different for other people. Don't just take my word for it! Try the game yourself and form your own opinions about it. Keep in mind this game is made for adults, even if it doesn't have any NSFW content. As always, I'll be including a link to the official game website below for anyone who might be interested in playing it. Enjoy!

Why do Animal Crossing fans always ask for more custom design spaces? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Ever since Animal Crossing New Horizons came out, fans have been practically begging for more custom design spaces. Even though there have been a few updates since the release, they haven't added any more custom design spaces. This is a big problem, because Animal Crossing New Horizons fans use custom designs for everything. They use them for store fronts, make-up, eyebrows, hair, paths, outdoor rugs, special signs, indoor windows, and a lot more. Plus a lot of these designs take a lot of spaces to accurately create the correct things. This means you run out of spaces very quickly. It wouldn't be that difficult to give players more spaces, so I don't understand why Nintendo is so against this even though fans have been asking for it since the game first came out. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
