Does Hachiko know the narrative is overlaying her inner monologue over footage of a literal prisoner

[spiribia]

nana osaki is extremely sensitive to abandonment and even small offhanded things can make her feel like other people are rejecting her so it's funny that she has a cool and aloof image too that makes everyone go Oh nana won't mind if we don't include her, she probably wants her own space anyway, she's independent like that. & hachi is extremely self conscious in a way where she assumes with no evidence that she is a bother to other people and should not hassle them with expressions of desire to be around them and should withdraw from them, which makes the two women together a recipe for disaster. it's a christmas miracle they're both still alive at this point

✶ Yuriboxd #21 ﹕Chirizokonai no Hiraeth/The Failed Scattering Of Hiraeth Nitamoto ✶

⬩ Status: On-going; ⬩ Volumes: 2; ⬩ Chapters: 6.

With an experimental style, the manga depicts a sequence of events that spiral endlessly downward, driven by characters fueled by despair. Despite its short chapter count, it is extremely compelling in how it sheds light on abuse and codependency and piques your curiosity about the characters, leaving you craving more of the story. It is a work that combines magical elements with tangible struggles, resulting in a story that is both delightful and unsettling.

I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys works like “Asagiiro no Saudade” or “Summer, Lemon and Overlay.” It remains to be seen whether the rest of the story will live up to its premise, but so far, it’s kept me hooked, and I’m curious to see how it unfolds!

My lovely valentine.

Under your skins, bright red shines

Mold to shape, tender and soft

Warmth and nice or it once was

Darling valentine forgive me please

The sharp knife is all I need

A Pang of pain! Blood runs down

From a hand we held for hours.

Beautiful valentine, my love, I promise

You won’t feel a thing when the wound is stitched

Cause’ your blood will rest in my veins

And your warmth will make me whole again.

My last copy of my zine was sold out last weekend. I figured I wanted to share all of the illustrations and poems I made. I hope you’d like them :)

You can search through them through my tag ‘Devourer of my Flesh’.

🕸️ Kafka's perception of pain and illness

Kafka's relationship to her body, and her understanding of pain and illness, is rather distinct. Currently, lacking any instinctive impulse towards self-preservation, she treats pain with detachment: “Didn't hurt.”; “Not bad.”.

As though she views her body as nothing more than a vessel, and regards injury merely as an expected inconvenience. Being virtually numb to her internal bodily sensations, it is impossible for her to understand pain from an internal perspective. While those around her talk about the signals her body is sending, Kafka finds that, despite hearing all this, a single, huge questioning mark lingers in her mind. Why should she tend to her injuries or suspect that she is falling ill? She is completely unaware that her body is sending such signals. 

Most of her needs are neglected. Even when she suffers severe injuries—even when she’s bleeding liters of blood from an open wound—she doesn’t pause for a moment to reflect on it because there are always more important matters happening around her that demand her attention. Furthermore, it is a rarity for her to be injured while on a mission. However, in contrast to her current lack of self-preservation instinct, Kafka has an exceptional ability to assess her surroundings. Although she lacks a self-preservation instinct, she is very adept at noticing when those around her are in pain or sick. Kafka senses the first signs of distress even before the person affected realizes it. Although she herself does not even know what it means to be struck down by pain or illness, nor can she put it into words, still she knows that this person needs rest. While for Kafka the very idea of allowing someone else to care for her was unimaginable. An anomaly in her life. However, once she learns fear, her perception will change irreversibly. Pain will take on a more vivid meaning as a poignant reminder of her vulnerability. She will gain a new awareness of her limitations and realize that her body is not indestructible, and that every injury carries the potential to push her to the brink of death. In this way, fear will bring not only a burden but also a strange gift. It is precisely this realization of the “inevitability of death” that fosters compassion for others and for ourselves.

✶ Yuriboxd #20 ﹕Yuzuki Doesn't Think by Natsuo Mutsumi ✶

⬩ Status: Completed; ⬩ Volumes: 1; ⬩ Chapters: 1.

Set in a cross-dressing themed café, this story follows Eika as supervises Yuzuki, a newcomer worker. While Yuzuki is helpful but clumsy, Eika is reserved but also deeply thoughtful. While lighthearted and humorous, it also addresses the social issues faced by women who defy gender norms, as well as the inner vulnerabilities of the two main characters, which are really well-round and it’s a joy to follow their story. A charming, sweet, and short romantic comedy. Butches make this world go round!

I recently read Mutsumi Natsuo's My Date is a Total Ike woman in English and it was such a great little short, highly recommended! You can purchase a copy here and support the artist.

Asahi is a lesbian sentai fan and Ushio is a pansexual enby who loves cute things. The pair match on a dating app and head to an amusement park for their first date where each learns to be both vulnerable and dashing in their own ways.

The English translation is very dynamic and feels quite fandom-informed, so it reads just as well as the Japanese version imho. The original appearance of Asahi and Ushio was via Twitter, but this collected edition includes some additional shorts and a bonus interview with the mangaka which really made me feel like I got bang for my buck.

If you're after a short story that turns the spotlight on cute butches for a change, then you'll definitely want to pick this one up. If you're not automatically sold on "this has cute butches" then I still encourage you to give this short a try for a fun little otaku love story at a decent price.

Northern paper wasps (Polistes fuscatus) make good friends!!

are weirdly good at recognizing individual faces. Like, not just “wasp vs not-wasp.” Actual individual recognition. Experiments showed they learn facial patterns of other wasps in the colony and change their behavior based on who they're interacting with. Mostly to recognize among hierarchy. They also recognize human faces! And will associate certain humans with safety or profit.

They are eusocial, meaning they live in highly organized societies that cooperatively raise offspring, overlap generations of adults of the species, and divide labor into reproductive and non-reproductive groups. Some people say we evolved from a eusocial society but there are very few/no mammals even a little similar to us that are currently eusocial.

While these wasps are eusocial their society isn’t as developed as some other eusocial insects. Foundresses interact in two main ways: solicitations and non-solicitations. Solicitations are similar to commands (I believe), water, nectar, pulp, or prey from returning foragers. Non-solicitations are more defense based. antennation, lunging, chasing, grappling, or biting. Foundresses mostly stay on the nest, while workers will leave to forage/hunt, and how much time a worker spends away usually matches how much foraging they’re doing.
