FINALLY I can announce my one-shot comic Missed Connection :)

Comrades, in Neo Sarajevo you have a right to leisure. But when a group of friends meets at a goth club MORG to relax, the topic of work keeps coming up. Should KDP and Varya just ignore it when the Internet they work with gets stricken with more censorship?

You can read it in its entirety at my own lovingly hand-crafted website or comicfury.

AND NOW YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT AS A PDF FILE ON MY PATREON FOR FREE!

A bit longer synopsis posted on both websites:

Neo Sarajevo, X975. A group of friends meets at MORG: the Party-controlled Palace of Culture during the day and a goth club somehow surviving the censorship by night. Real world censorship is inescapable even on the Internet despite it still feeling new and exciting to many. Varya and KDP belong to the generation of young professionals moving such technology forward but there’s a feeling in the air that the Internet's initial idea to connect people is getting more out of reach.

Gogai, gogai!!! New chibis this way!!

Marakuji's Volume 3 collection, titled Masquerade, finally comin' at you hot off the scanners of feste and I, who once again worked together to get you the whole fleet of miserably expensive blind swaps! (The first volume, Tea Time, and the second, Birdcage, are of course also available there!)

What's different this time?? Well, the gallery systems on ohtori.nu no longer work in the backend. The time has finally come for me to retire the effort of maintaining a decades old gallery program and begin migrating the existing structure into a static website that I can hopefully keep up indefinitely. That will be a huge personal clusterfuck and miserable undertaking, but I'm currently working with some more modernly savvy Utena fans to make that happen! In the meantime, I certainly have no plans whatsoever to stop hosting new Utena artwork, and so that these new scans have a happy little landing site (more chibis on the way!) I uploaded them to the gallery system within the Something Eternal forum, which will now be the main space I add new scans.

Because chibis are something there aren't actually that many of to document, I went back and organized them by release, and added context about the merchandises they're attached to and more specific release information! So go visit these adorable new chibis and their full acrylic plates here, along with all their friends, in The Chibi Gallery!

Thanks again to feste for helping getting these scans collected up! I hope y'all enjoy them, and wish us all luck as we try to figure out how the fuck to make a static site out of galleries that are tens of thousands of imagesewhfuiywegfduyewgfdew

I just learned that a lot of vintage perfumes and fragrances were intentionally created to blend well with the ever-present smell of cigarettes, and in specific a lot of iconic ones that are super musky and floral and civet-heavy were intended to compliment the smell of fur coats or even "refresh" that new fur coat smell, which is one of the reasons (besides just shifting preferences and trends) that a lot of them smell really, really bad to modern noses.

I bet there's some stunning genius diva out there right now who meticulously coordinates her Victoria's Secret body mists with her vape flavors.
