@vaudevillain: Oooh, I'd love to see your cosplays if you're comfortable enough to share! All those characters sound great! I'd love to cosplay Nia from Gurren Lagaan, but I have a feeling her hair would be the trickiest part because of the coloring. She's one of my favorite characters from that series, but Kamina will always be my #1. <333 His character got me through some rough times, which is weird to say, but I told his voice actor that when I saw him at a con once.
Somehow I thought you meant a different series when you said BNA--I'm so used to seeing it abbreviated BNHA, but I totes know what you're talking about now as it's once of my favorite more recent series lol. Bakugo is my favorite character from that series. As for villains, Dabi was always my favorite, even before the big reveal in the latest season (I haven't read any of the manga, so was just as surprised as anyone else). The big reveal made me love him more, honestly. Also I love how they're doing Toga's involvement too, and my heart died a little with her in that arc.
I loved watching Soul Eater, but again, don't really read manga, so I wouldn't have known the differences lol.
Guess I'll list off series I've watched/completed and loved so far off the top of my head, in no particular order...Inuyasha, Demon Slayer, Gurren Lagaan, Tokyo Revengers, Tokyo Ghoul, Dr. Stone, Food Wars, School Rumble, Fruits Basket, Death Note (honestly didn't care for that series for lots of reasons, but figured I'd say I watched it), Naruto, Naruto: Shippuden, Hunter x Hunter, Fairy Tail (still watching it), Cowboy Bebop, Princess Jellyfish, The Wallflower, Ouran High School Host Club, Komi Can't Communicate, Aggretsuko, Cyberpunk, Blood+, Blue Period, Darker Than Black...honestly I know I'm forgetting lots of series, but off the top of my head, those are the ones I've watched.

@goth: Late reply is late. But thanks! I lean towards non-human avis, so I experiment with all kinds of poses until they just click. I think this is one of my more wacky avis. One day I'll post them all in a thread, probably the Undercurrent so I can just add post by post.
Also agree with Alexia--your avi is cute!

@Alexia: Saaaame, but can't like everything, and that's fair. Some schemes I avoid like the plague.

@Alexia: Thanks! It helps that several items already have matching colour schemes, so I use that to build off of. I've been wanting to make another avi with this belly mouth pose lol. I wish it came in more colours than it already does.

@goth: Good idea. xD I feel like a lot of memes could just be faces, kinda like the ones used in the Showstopper orb item.
@Alexia: They do suit your avi.

Haven't heard of 'The Vampire Dies in No Time' but I'll keep it in mind if I want something funny to watch.
I don't read much manga, but I sometimes look for it if I'm inpatient to wait for new anime episodes. I did it when Naruto was still running lol. That's good to know that Chainsaw Man takes a different direction in the anime from the manga. I just finished the first season of AOT and barely started the second season.
I've been curious about BNA, so might give that a try. Ace Ventura movies were great, so I'd have loved to see your cosplays. xD Who did you cosplay from Tokyo Ghoul and Gurren Lagann? Devilman Crybaby is another series I was interested in trying, as well as Panty and Stocking. I've got so many series to try, it's not even funny. One time I was trying to keep up with series both watched and want-to-watch on a site, I think it was called hummingbird.me? or something?? But I got overwhelmed trying to track it all that I just gave up and forgot my login info altogether lol.
As for cosplay, I don't have much experience with homemade cosplay. When I did Izumi Curtis from FMA, I bought a lab coat and altered it to look more like hers, and altered some sandals as well. If I had the time and space, I wouldn't mind learning how to sew with a sewing machine. I'm decent sewing by hand, but obviously that takes time too. I'd like to eventually make Juuzou's scythe from Tokyo Ghoul since the version cosplayed as mainly uses his scythe, but might make a jacket later with his knives. That'll be tricky getting through prop check though. xD

@vaudevillain: To continue our conversation in comments (that way you can earn volts for your posts!)...
That's awesome that you've been to so many conventions. :) I've mostly been to anime ones, plus one for tattoos, but I'd like to go to more of those. My guy wants to take me to EVO in Vegas one day, but I have a feeling I'd get bored out of my skull after a while since I'm not much for gaming anymore.
As for anime series, I've been meaning to watch Chainsaw Man since I hear it's so good. I like a lot of different series from older to new. If you asked me to pick one single series to be my favorite, I'd say it's impossible. Currently watching Attack on Titan as I type this, which I know has been around for a while, but it took me forever to start since honestly the first episode traumatized me years ago, but it's better now.
For cosplay, I've done it a few times, but would like to do more. My most recent cosplay was Juuzou Suzuya from Tokyo Ghoul. I'd love to do a genderbent Kamina from Gurren Lagaan someday. I've also done Chihiro from Spirited Away and Izumi Curtis AKA "Teacher" from Fullmetal Alchemist/FMA: Brotherhood.

@goth: I just thought of one--a speech bubble that says "This is fine" in reference to that cartoon dog sitting in a room full of fire with a little smile on his face. xDD

@Ark: You're welcome, and if you have any specific questions about cat ownership, I can try to help, or find resources to help you. Glad you have a shelter you can go to! There's a cat cafe not too far from here that I sometimes go to to play with the cats, and one day might adopt one from there. And thank you! Fur babies really are delightful when you have them. <3

Having a pet can be very rewarding, but it has its challenges as well, regardless of the species.
First you'll need to consider if you have the resources to have one. In no particular order of importance: space, time, financial stability, access to veterinary care, research, and mental stability, to name a few. I'll elaborate in a spoiler below:
Sorry if that was a bit wordy, but I hope that helps some. What helps me mentally prepare for a new pet kinda is the physical aspect too--making sure my space is safe for them, and making sure I have the resources to care for them. And absolutely, having my pets has changed my life for the better. Mooney is my only fur baby for now, and she's 7 years old. I lost my boy Dasher last year as he was a senior kitty at 11 years old, and my girl Olive a couple years ago as she was reaching her life expectancy of 5 years old. I think that's the worst part of having pets, is saying goodbye, but as the saying goes, time heals all wounds. I'm happy to have had my babies that I sent over the Rainbow Bridge, even though I miss them every day. I'm hoping to adopt another cat soonish, but first I need to prepare my space before I can have another.
First you'll need to consider if you have the resources to have one. In no particular order of importance: space, time, financial stability, access to veterinary care, research, and mental stability, to name a few. I'll elaborate in a spoiler below:
-Space- Luckily, cats don't require much space. However, you'll want to make sure that your living space is allowed to house cats before having one. That should go without saying, but too many people illegally own pets, and it's not fair to the pet in the end, because they suffer the consequences if they're found out.
-Time- Generally speaking, cats don't require too much of your time, but some can be more demanding than others for resources. Some can be aloof and not want much attention, while others want to be your shadow. Feeding schedules are easily manageable, as are getting a routine down for grooming and litter box changing. For litter boxes, I will say a good rule of thumb if you have multiple cats one day is to add 1 more box than you have cats (so for example, 2 cats require 3 litter boxes). I know you'll probably only start with one, but just FYI for future. As for grooming, in general, if you have a long-haired cat, you'll want to brush it often to avoid matting in the fur. Otherwise, unless they have a knack for getting dirty, they don't require much for bathing. You may want to consider time for training, if necessary, against unwanted behaviors, such as clawing your furniture. There are easy solutions for these behaviors, but that can be saved for another post.
-Financial stability- No, you don't need to be a billionaire to have a cat, obviously, but they can come with their own health issues, and vet visits usually aren't cheap. Therefore, I'd suggest always having some money saved in case of emergencies. There are options for insurance out there for vet visits too, so perhaps look into that.
-Access to veterinary care- Do you have easy access to a vet in case you need? It's also a good idea to get a veterinary checkup routinely, depending on what your vet recommends. Not gonna lie, a lot of pets hate traveling for any reason, but sometimes it's necessary to make sure they're healthy, so make sure you can travel to a vet if needed.
-Research- Consider researching cats' needs before adopting. Different breeds may need different things. While you don't need to be an expert before adopting, it'll certainly help you in the long run to ensure a happy life for you both. <3
-Mental stability- Are you in a good place, mentally, to care for another animal? I'm not asking if you personally are in a good place, but it's a general question to ponder. If you're struggling to care for yourself in any capacity, I'd caution against caring for an animal until you can. An animal is more than just a companion, it's a life dependent on your care too.

@goth: You're welcome! Sometimes it takes a bit of digging that way, but it's helpful.
And that would be awesome to have meme-based items. xD I'm not sure which one I'd use if given the opportunity to make it into an item...

@goth: That makes sense about the website and the organization of it all. I understand feeling self-conscious about taking too much time for your character, or just not doing something right in general. My guy listens to lots of DND podcasts, and I think he's watched/listened to that one before too. He mostly listens to his podcasts on Spotify, and sometimes I'll catch pieces here and there. Not sure if you're interested in any female-led podcasts, but Dames & Dragons is a good one. Not Another D&D Podcast is a mixed gender one, but it's one that you might check out too if you're looking for podcasts. Both of them have their funny moments, so they're not all super serious or anything.
