The Main 13 Vani.

Took me about 6 and a half hours. I've always wanted to make a big nice image of all of them together, one that wasn't just a doodle, so here it is! I'm super happy with how it turned out, even with their cacophony of odd designs!

Aku tidak mau bertemu denganmu di kebetulan manapun, tetaplah hilang dan jangan muncul.

Mari tetap asing sampai tidak mengenal lagi.

Weekly Reading Update || 24th May

Read This Week

The Wall: What if Jon Snow went to the wall in future Dystopian England instead? Seems to be the premise of this book, but for me, it failed to have a point. 3/5

Vanishing World: This book is so subtly clever, by the end turning what I thought was a mediocre "what if?" experiment into a full blown horror. 5/5

Decomposition Book: Finding a New Best Friend in the form of a corpse in the woods is great until you remember that they were a Real Person With Feelings 4/5

Taiwan Travelogue: Colonialism told through the story of Japanese woman's desire to consume Taiwan's culture through their food, this was a slow story to get through. 3/5

Endless List of Books: Vanishing World by Sayaka Murata (2015)

Having been made to suffer by the religion of romantic love, we wanted to be saved by the religion of family. If we could succeed in truly brainwashing our entire bodies, I had the feeling we could finally forget romantic love.

Whichever world I’m in, it drives me nuts to think I’m perfectly normal. Normal is the most terrifying madness in the world. Don’t you agree?
