Why is Homestuck popular in the anime fandom? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Homestuck isn't an anime, and it doesn't really use the anime art style. Sometimes there are pictures in it that somewhat resemble anime, but it still isn't anime. But since it was popular in the scene community, it eventually snuck its way into the anime community like Invader Zim and My Little Pony did. It's a weird part of internet history, and newer fans don't know anything about it. Even I didn't learn about it until after it happened. Now that Homestuck is starting to gain popularity again, maybe more people will learn about this. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can get a lot of rugs that look like they belong outside. However, you can't put them outside. This is a really awful decision because there isn't enough space inside of the houses to use them either. Yes, you can make the inside of houses look like outside, but this shouldn't be necessary. Making rugs only usable inside means the picnic blankets and outdoor rugs exist for no reason. Not only this, but it forces players to use custom designs to make outdoor rugs instead, even though there aren't very many custom design spaces available. It isn't fair, and a lot of Animal Crossing New Horizons players hate this. It wouldn't even be difficult to make it so rugs can be placed outside. I don't understand why this was done, since every other game that lets you customize places usually lets you put rugs outside. All it does is limit creativity in a game that's supposed to be about creative freedom. I hope this is fixed sometime in the future, but I doubt it ever will be. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do the fish models look worse than the bug models in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, you can get models made for bugs or fish in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The bug models are amazing. They're very detailed, and some of them are really big. But the fish models, are small and disappointing. Why is this? Well, in the game, all of the models are made by Flick. Flick loves bugs, but doesn't really care about fish. So this makes sense. It's a neat detail in the game. But, it's really unfair for fans. Some fans really like the fish in the game, so the small little disappointing models are a huge let down. Even the big fish get small models. While I understand why this is from a story standpoint, I don't understand why the creators did this. Even if an artist doesn't like something, they usually put their all into a commission. So making the fish models look like that just because Flick made them, it doesn't really make sense to me. Flick really likes what he does, and he takes commissions very seriously. So as a character, I don't understand why he would make the fish models look like trash just because they're fish. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's scorpion season in Animal Crossing New Horizons again! So for today's blog post, I will be talking about how to successfully catch them. Scorpions and tarantulas can seem impossible to catch at first, but after you learn how to, they're actually pretty easy to catch. Firstly, you have to hold a net if you want to get close to them. Otherwise they'll run away from you. A lot of people say you have to sneak up on it, but you don't. You can walk normally while holding the net and the scorpion won't attack you. The only thing you have to watch is the claws. If they're raised, stop walking. If they're lowered, it's safe to move. It's like a game of red light green light. A few important notes are, you can herd it into a more open area without a net for easier catching. But if you chase it around too much, it'll disappear. If it's trapped between rocks or trees, don't try to catch it. Your net will hit the objects around it, and then the scorpion will sting you. You can also accidentally chase it into water, which will make it disappear. So I recommend trying to catch it in an open and easy to see area. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do people think Miffy is a Japanese character? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Recently I did a blog post about the character Miffy, who is a popular bunny that was originally from Dutch children's books. However, even though she's Dutch, everyone thinks she's Japanese. Why is this? Personally, I think it's just a lack of information. Miffy is popular in Japan, so many people think she's Japanese. They don't do research, and many people think she's actually a Sanrio character. I can see why they think that, but it isn't true. She's similar to Sanrio characters, but she wasn't made by them. A lot of people, including anime fans, believe that anything that's popular in Japan was made in Japan. But, this isn't true. Sometimes things are just popular regardless of where they were made. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. For anyone who missed my last post about her, I'll be including a picture of Miffy below so you all can see what she looks like. Enjoy!

Why do otaku characters always eat junk food? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! When you see an anime character who likes manga, videogames, or anime, they usually also eat junk food and drink soda. This is really common to see, so why is this? Well, this is just how Japan sees otakus. In Japan, people who like things like this are often seen as unemployed, lazy, hermit, snackaholics. Even if most anime fans aren't like this, it doesn't change how they're seen. Food is also just a way to show that a character is an otaku. For example, characters who fight a lot eat regular meals very often, but characters who are lazy or rest a lot eat snacks instead. Otakus are usually shown to be lazy, which is part of why they eat a lot of snacks. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Miffy. If you're an anime fan who likes things like Sanrio, San-X, and Mofusand, you've probably also seen Miffy. Miffy is a simple white bunny, and she's extremely popular in Japan and the anime community. However, she isn't Japanese. Miffy is actually Dutch. This is a common mistake, because she's popular in Japan and resembles Japanese characters. It's even easy to find her on clothes or accessories from Japan. She actually first appeared in picture books, and she was created in 1955. Since then, she's become very popular. It's easy to find her just about anywhere. Many people don't even know where she came from, they just think she's cute. As always, I will be including a picture of Miffy below so you all can see what she looks like. Enjoy!
