THREE DAYS LEFT TO ENTER!

super exciting! good luck to everyon! <33

Today, July 7th, marks the 10th year from the day that the first episode of the No. 6  anime aired on July 7, 2011. The anime is an adaption of the 9 volume novel series by Atsuko Asano and finished airing on September 16, 2011. The show was completed before the novels themselves were officially completed, so there is a slight change in how the story was developed, especially near the ending.  

No. 6 was licensed by Sentai Filmworks and available for streaming on Crunchyroll. Unfortunately, though, as of December 13, 2018, the license has expired and the production of the Blue-ray Disc and DVD has since stopped and is now unavailable on Crunchyroll as well as other legal streaming sites. However, an English fan translation of the novels is available at 9th-ave’s blogspot page, and the manga is still available for purchase from many online retailers.

The good news is that the fandom of No. 6 is still going strong. This blog, the Restructural Committee, was founded in 2014 (about 3 years after the anime first aired) and continues to run events such as the yearly Secret Santa ( @no6secretsanta ), the No. 6 Zine ( @no6zine ), and 2020′s Reunion Will Con online convention. Outside of tumblr and the No. 6 discord server the fandom is largely decentralised (although we do have a twitter @No6_RC). But that hasn’t stopped other fans such as the mods of the @no6-reunionzine from also creating their own No. 6-themed projects. And of course, many artists, writers, cosplayers, and fan creators have made beautiful works of art and craft to celebrate the story of No. 6 year after year.

So from all of us here at the RC blog - happy No. 6 anime anniversary, and we look forward to more years of No. 6!

All for this.

So I did a thing XD Can’t remember where the quote came from, so if you know please tell me! :D

i cant believe that ‘im such a top i’ve never submitted to anything, ESPECIALLY not stoplights’ is a real canon sentiment expressed by a real canon death note character

this is, legitimately, one of the funniest fucking things ive seen in my entire life

So I did a thing XD Can’t remember where the quote came from, so if you know please tell me! :D

Here’s a translation I found for a scene in Koakuma no Riddle 7 (I found it on 4chan)

1: That’s all for the report. 2: Well done, Nio-san

3: What~? Want to get in with me? Hm hm… 4: Just~ kidding… 5: By all means, please allow me to join you

1: [I… won’t show my skin to anyone.] 2-3: [After all… this body…] 4: Please look at me.

1: […belongs to the chairwoman.] 2: …… You have become quite beautiful 3 My Nio.

1: How long has it been since we’ve last bathed together? 2: You used to hate taking baths back then, didn’t you? Stop talking about the past please~. 4: [There isn’t a single scratch upon her flawless body.] 5: That is proof that she is a born queen.

1: [Being this person’s property] [gives me such joy.] 2: Yuri-san… Hm? 3: You are the only queen for me, Yuri-san.

TIPS FOR SHOPPING FOR YOUR TRANS BOYFRIEND

Just some tips I’ve learned over the years to help with my boyfriend’s dysphoria

•vertical stripes (makes you seem taller) •uneven patterns such as polka dots (hides any chest bumps) •jackets, sweaters, or vests (layers hide curves. But be sure they’re not too long. Oversized clothes make you seem smaller. Hem should be no more than 2 inches below waist) •graphic T shirt (make sure design is higher up on the chest to hide any chest bumps) •pants (straight fitted. Go up a size. Try to get little to no breaks.) •round or pointed toed shoes (square toed shoes make you seem shorter) •hats, glasses, necklaces, bow ties, skinny ties (any accessories should be kept to the upper half of their body to draw the eye up and make them seem taller) •binders (best binder brands I know of are Underworks, and Gc2b) •shoelifts (amazon has really good cheap ones) • shop online for smaller men’s clothes (rue21, Zara, American Eagle, Express Men, Asos, H&M)

So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know. 

Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.

Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!

Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)

If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE. 

Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.

Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.

OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS

i cant believe that ‘im such a top i’ve never submitted to anything, ESPECIALLY not stoplights’ is a real canon sentiment expressed by a real canon death note character

this is, legitimately, one of the funniest fucking things ive seen in my entire life

Since telling my Mum that I considered myself ace, I already noticed that she was a bit… too interested, if you want to say it like that. Asking for “signs”, or how being ace feels like… I tried to answer her to the best of my ability, giving her links to websites that would explain better as I ever could.

Today she said, very quietly, “Do you think I could be ace, too?”

And I said very carefully “If you think it suits you, I don’t see why not”

And my Mum, my strong, self-confident Mum, who never once  has ever felt uncomfortable in her own skin as far as I know, beamed in relief. Relief. 

 Because she never knew. Because getting married young and bearing children for her husband (meaning sex) was expected of her. Because everyone gave her the feeling as if something would be wrong or broken about her if she didn’t want, didn’t do that.

Because her whole life long, she thought there was something wrong with her.

I’m honestly torn between feeling happy and relieved for her, and angry that humanity has such trouble with showing some understanding to those who don’t fit in the boxes society has designed for all of us.

Update: My Mum was getting ready for bed when I noticed her humming loudly around her toothbrush and I asked her what the good mood was about.

  She beamed around a mouth-full of toothpaste and said, very proudly and deliberately, “I think I like that, being ace.”

And continued on with her brushing, humming a bit louder.

  (Or in other words, I’m more than a little bit teary eyed.)

I had almost the exact same conversation with my Mom. We were talking about the LGBT acronym and explained that it’s LGBTQ and that some people add the PIA at the end as well. And she asked me “What’s the a?” So when I explained it she said immediately “Me. That’s like me.” This is why I get so mad at people who think this is all just trendy bs, people just don’t have the vocabulary or permission to describe their lived experience.

This is the most wholesome thing I’ve ever read, bless this post 🙌🏼

me writing dialogue: “what is man but a vessel through which a higher entity may see? what is his purpose? must he find a purpose? we are but stardust; the universe comprehending itself.”

me writing action: they ran real fast from the bad men aand legs hurty

me writing action: Her legs pounded against the earth, the familiar jolt grounding her like nothing else could. Magic, gods, royalty—she didn’t know anything about that. But running? That’s something she’d been doing since day one.

me writing dialogue: “I dunno man whatchu wanna do” “I dunno. What do you think?” “Hey man I don’t know”

@moribunny

Look, it’s us.

@not-thechosenone actually more like

me writing descriptions: The morning sun streamed in through the stained-glass window, a thousand jewel-like reflections dancing across the tiled floor. 

me writing action: one person hits other person uhhh then they both run from bad guy

me writing dialogue: “hi” “hi” “bye”

Accurate.

I am simultaneously all of these at any given moment of writing. There is no consistency in the first draft, only authorial suffering and wandering exposition.

lahore pigeons are some of the most visually appealing birds out there. like in terms of visual design. very minimalist, good contrast.

Too bad Lahore pigeons are a domestic breed and don’t appear in the wild at all. Some equally balanced wild colorations include

Pygmy Falcon

Great Hornbill

Wallcreeper

and

Black-throated Loon

this is a good addition to this post. thank you for this birds educations

I would like to submit the following additions to the world of exceptional bird color design:

Cedar Waxwing

Red Crowned Crane

Brahminy Kite

Green Tree Swallow (I mean seriously - those are metallic teal feathers against stark white. Damn.) 

Bali Mynah

And, last but certainly not least, the cutest fucking puffball on this planet earth:

The Korean Crow-Tit

I’d also like to contribute some pretty awesome birds

Hooded Pitta (or as like to call them little olives)

Coua

Mot-Mot

The Blue Crown Pigeon (the biggest pigeon)

The European Bee-eater

The oriental dwarf kingfisher one looks like a colorful tiny kookaburra

My brother saved this document and everytime he gets angry at our neighbours for being loud he prints it to their wireless printer and you can hear the wife shout “Why the fuck would you print this AGAIN?!” to her son.

1.  If you were wondering, you can type the numbers in the works cited into google and they appear to be medical journal articles about using medical imaging to detect and diagnose a rare form of Gastritis.

2. Please enjoy the offical powerpoint presentation of this paper at an academic conference by the original author, complete with Q&A:
