Is there any merch that’s tasteful/ work appropriate? Something that will get a nod from a fellow fan but doesn’t obnoxiously advertise web? I saw this gorgeous breath of the wild blouse that had all the little Zelda symbols alongside the collar but it was still work appropriate.
If you mean clothing I would probably say the best place would be Super Groupies however their stuff runs on the more expensive side, most items going over 10,000 JPY (~$100 USD), and is only available for a limited time so most of the stuff has to be found on auction sites elsewhere and imported through a proxy. Some of my favorites are:This Gawain coat
Sakura button up shirt
Saber button up shirt
Karna bag
If you’re looking for jewelry some good stuff can even be found on ebay, etsy, and pixiv BOOTH. Certain anime merchandise companies make jewelry from time to time.Gilgamesh (Archer) Valentine CE Bracelet (Goodsmile)
Sieg necklace (i0plus)
I don’t know of any specific company besides Super Groupies that makes fate themed clothing besides basic T-shirts so it might take a bit of digging. If it’s basic T-shirts and jackets you’re looking for, I would say Redbubble and other print-to-order sites with designs by independent artists are worth a try. There are non-official companies on ebay and aliexpress that make this sort of stuff, but I can’t vouch for the quality. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of it and most tends to run pretty expensive for a short period of time, after which it is only available for resale (at a pretty significant markup) on a 3rd party site.
Another option is cosplay items for characters casual outfits.
If there is a specific character you’re looking for I would be more than happy to help!
What were your thoughts on the final arc? I'm glad it wasn't the bland shonen ending of everyone makes babies but like it left a lot to be desired
I thought it was pretty good? I mean, it wrapped things up fairly well, and while I do wish it had gone into things a bit more, or explored characters more completely, I did enjoy it.
I am so excited about you baby Kakashi comics, please just your headcanons make so much more sense than some parts of the story, especially the whole Kakashi is in the same class as Obito and Rin but graduates early... but is on their genin team. I especially just adore cleft palette Kakashi and broad nosed Gai because I think as Shinobi stuff like facial disabilities and looks are superficial to people who can change their appearance on a whim
Thank you so much!! I, too, love shinobi with disabilities :D I also find it highly implausible that most shinobi have full range of motion -- like, how many times have they had muscles cut or ligaments torn?? The only one I’ll accept being inhumanly capable even after sustaining impossible injuries is Gai, because his body is just. Insane. To me he’s one of those “how is he still even walking” type phenomenons, a medical marvel. I want to run all the tests on him god damn it!!
As for his ninken -- oh my god! I’ve been waiting for the appropriate time to get his dad to pass on his summoning scroll, and this last strip was actually supposed to be that strip! The big 3-0 was goign to be when I had Sakumo inherit his tanto blade AND the dog summoning scroll, but my hand drew something else haha. I guess the next one will have to be just that because I’ve had this adorable concept panel drawn for over two weeks and I haven’t had the opportunity to use it.
PUPPY PAKKUN!!! SOON!!!
My headcanons regarding Kakashi’s ninken are more scattered and fluid and open to change. I think in-actual-canon I believe he grew up around dogs and that it was probably one of the earliest things he learned how to do -- summon dogs from the scroll -- but for the purposes of this comic I’ve made it so he only gets Pakkun shortly after making genin, and that the summoning scroll originally belonged to his mom. Because of this, in the comic the dogs from the scroll are actually more used to being Samurai dogs, and their dog elders refuse to answer to shinobi out of principle.
Note: His dad can summon Tetsu (mom’s wolf) only because Mom told Tetsu to answer to Sakumo even after she died. Tetsu will not answer Kakashi’s summons because he was loyal only to his mom :’(
Pakkun was a puppy when Kakashi summoned him so Kakashi had to train him himself on how to be a shinobi ninken. This made their bond quite strong. After this, Kakashi started adopting dogs during missions (ex-fighting dogs, puppies, outcasts, you name it) and adding them to his little corner of shinobi dogs that answer only to him :3 They wear the Konoha headband and Kakashi’s henohenohomoji symbol proudly, but due to this they’re kinda frowned upon by their genetic families who refuse to answer Kakashi’s summons.
I came up with this tangentally because I thought a lot about Naruto’s frogs, and how they have their own society and beliefs and legends, and how they kind of sign on to answer only to shinobi, how they’re more of a shinobi-oriented animal clan. And then I thought about the Inuzuka, and how they have permanent dog companions they don’t summon, and yet how Kakashi CAN summon dogs, and I wondered about the hypothetical Land of Dogs and why the Inuzuka don’t use that, and I thought about my comic’s headcanon of Kakashi’s mom being a samurai, and I ran with that -- that the Land of Dogs is actually more samurai-oriented than shinobi, and they kind of turn their head up at shinobi shenanigans so Kakashi’s dogs are outcasts he’s adopted and trained himself.
Sorry this isn't about art but If your president gets impeached and the next couple people in line are also faced with corruption charges, who exactly is the person next in line for office? It sounds like all the top officials are facing corruption charges
Yep all those bastards are involved with corruption, the vice-president (Michel Temer) is, and the guy who will be his vice-president is involved as well (Eduardo Cunha). Shit, 80% of the deputies are involved with corruption. I don’t have any idea who will be the next in line if those two are taken out …I guess they will have to do emergency elections.
I recently retook the sorting hat test and found I had shifted from gryffindor to ravenclaw. Ravenclaw is a fine house but I spent my childhood identifying as a gryffindor and was originally sorted in there when pottermore first came out. now I'm just sitting in a room full of gryffindor posters and merchandise and I'm really confused? What should I do?
You shouldn’t do anything, you silly little Gryffindor.If Ravenclaw isn’t where you want to be and you clearly don’t feel comfortable changing houses, then don’t. You know yourself better than any random sorting hat test, and you get to choose Gryffindor if you want to be Gryffindor.
