So.. you are my cousin ? (x-post /r/redpandas) (Source: http://ift.tt/1TOE8AZ)

You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you’ve a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin You’ll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends.

THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

ahhh gentle pure tama!! <333 for those down about tama’s passing, a good ending–the station has found a successor to her! another calico named nitama (literally TAMA TWO) who was irl buddies with tama off duty AND was a kitty receptionist while tama was around (yes there are RECEPTIONIST CATS at this train station bless it there is a full cat bureaucracy and job market). nitama is pretty chill about the hat and while not as serene as tama was, will undoubtedly come into it with age and experience.

nitama being officially sworn in as new stationmaster.

she also has an A+ face and loves sticking her tongue out. im serious google this cat like 70% of the pictures shes going BLEP its great.

Here’s my Italian Easter Bread. I made individual loaves and didn’t put glaze on them.  Once they cooled, I put plastic eggs filled with jellybeans in half of the loaves. I’m so proud of how they turned out!

Really nice recipes. Every hour.

Show me what you cooked!

I don’t care if they can’t understand me. They may be garbage cats, but they’re my garbage cats.

Well there goes my heart

So here we are with a very nice, comfortable and casual looking komon! Even though we’ve had some similar looking kimono in our feed lately (*cough cough* repeating flower patterns *cough cough*), I wanted to point this one out especially for it’s particular design quality.

You’ll notice that the red flowers on this kimono are really only just a tiny shade different from the rest of the kimono. But by adding some shading in the petals, and by framaing the flowers with a contrasting colour (re and green are contrasting colours), they are made to look as though they ‘pop’ out more. 

The dark blue obijime alludes to the darker petals and makes their colour feel more saturated, while the brighter green obi and bright blue obiage help brighten the palette. 

We keep it casual with a simple obidome with some wonderfully matching tones, and ante up the sophistication with a simple white collar. Well put together!
