hi! I'm not sure if you're actually 71 or if this is just a bit, but if you really are I just want to say that you seem so cool and sweet! I don't normally see older people on here haha
and if this is just a bit then I love that too <3
also juniejewels is such a cute username!
I’m 72, if I typed 71 oops! Born in 1953, the year before the very first Godzilla movie. My interests have always been over the place, and because of that my online friends have always been much younger. Thank you for the compliment! I’m a huge believer in kindness. I first got involved on the ‘net when I was in my 40s, I blame it on my much younger brother who got me interested in anime. I’ve written fan fiction on and off since the 1990s. Junie’s Jewels is the name of my company - I make and sell jewelry, and started my account to showcase it. Then I added one for cooking, one for baking, you name it. And of course for my cats. This is Mocha Java, I was cleaning this morning and she decided to watch from the stove top. Brat.
hot take but i think cars should be required to have communication radios just like big semi trucks. we should all be able to talk to each other on the road. not bc this would help in any way but because i want it to sound like a counterstrike lobby every time i drive somewgere
This episode of Doctor Who was titled Lucky Day because it was Conrad’s lucky day that he only met this regeneration of the Doctor and didn’t have to face whatever horrifying fate worse than death that 9-12 would’ve thrown at him for the shit he pulled
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.
I’m 71 years old. Of course I know how to cook! Pizza tonight, homemade dough and the sauce I made on Thursday. Individual cake pan pizzas, topped per the preference of my family members.
have u seen the new ranma trailer??? what r ur thoughts? it looks so cute but at the same time it feels like they’re mostly going to treat it as a comedy anime 😞
yesss!! it's so gorgeous! first thing first, as much as i am a manga defender the og series has its rightful throne in my heart and i still vm wholeheartedly (and will forever) love the og anime... thank you sm for the question anon, this might be a long post!
what are some stuff you're excited about?
first thing everyone does is compare the the style of anime! which, of course, we all want to do based on nostalgia..."well, back when i was growing up..." but we forget that the production studio is a different studio, new animators, new artists, and of course keeping up with the trend style of modern anime. it's a cute style (super biased on the og bc how can we not) but it's not a bad style, at all! they look cute, and bubbly, and colorful.
that's another thing, that color palette, which is such a contrast...the very vibrant colors opposed to the pastels/soft colors (ik many love them, but i've seen just as many "complain") but i dont mind the color palette, i like the softness, it's different, but nothing out of this world. it's fine. (pic from @/torianis on twt)
ALSO LOOK!! IS THIS A SIGN THAT WE WILL BE GETTING FASHIONISTA AKANE?? LIKE HER RIGHTEOUS MANGA ACCURATE OUTFITS? pls pls pls pls!!
...but also...we'll have differences like these (this is where i'm annoying bc i rly liked the red fit with the green dragon ;<; but it's whatever ig)
now ranma with pink hair?? and red eyes?? she looks cute! the red hair was something the studio back then decided on to help "differentiate" between male/female ranma considering that ranma's hair color didn't actually change throughout the manga (and rumiko actually illustrated her with various different color for her hair and eyes!) although i honestly would have preferred that they would've kept her blue eyes im not angry about them but yk (also, i kinda like the idea of ranma keeping his black hair between both forms)
also...akane looks so soft...look at this baby
and i think it's going to focus on the comedy aspect WHICH GOOD AND OK BC THEY ARE A COMEDY (pls im sure you'll love it<3<3<3) lmao look at these faces! but im sure it's going to have its heartfelt moments, too (like akane's piggyback, etc.)
i will end my post here but just know im beyond excited..im probably forgetting to mention others things (like how the animation is so swift, and smooth..STOKED THAT THEY'RE BRINGING BACK THE OG JAPANESE VA!!! WHAT??? THAT'S SO EXCITING!!!!!!!)
I love that we’re keeping the original voice actors! Ranma wouldn’t be Ranma without Kappei and Megumi, and even though it’s been years, Noriko will still be able to play Akane because her voice hasn’t changed a bit.
All-glass necklace. I bought most of the beads from fellow crafters on Whatnot. The fish beads and the rectangular blue and gold came in the same strand. It sold the first time I offered it in auction, and I got the sweetest thank you from the woman who won. Have been making jewelry since 2006, there’s something so satisfying about it.
My latest creations. Materials are glass and porcelain. The first also includes semiprecious stones - see alt text. Available - PM me, US shipments only. Edit 4/23/24 turtle sold
I can’t remember the name but it was on tv in ‘67 and I had nightmares about the dead woman who was talking while maggots crawled in and out of holes in her face.
This sounds so lovely, and I bookmarked it. As I get older (70 now), my meals get simpler, so in all likelihood this will never be made. It’s saved for inspiration.
