Having Godzilla coffee and a Godzilla vs Mothra Pancake next to a giant Godzilla head for breakfast rocks so god damn much.

I can’t, but I think my bank account can 😅

I was getting worried that I was buying too much to be under my luggage weight limit.

I’ve only added 1kg.

Maybe I haven’t bought enough!

(Anyway, here’s my media haul so far)

I’m here for another 8 days, so I have time when I get back to Tokyo in a week if I can build up the courage 😅

Haven’t so much seen any of those, but this one did tempt me (though not at $100)

My brain was like “hey, maybe while I’m in Japan, I can get some cute fem clothes (and…other clothes) that’s not insanely priced”…

Of course then the anxiety took over and it got too afraid to do that.

Sake is so good, Jesus Christ…

An isakaya for dinner, and finally getting to having some sake!

I was truly astounded by the lack of RE merch at the Capcom store. I mean sure, an Umbrella notepad is fun, but there is so much potential in all this other stuff and there’s just nothing!? Wild…

Biohazard/Resident Evil devs: okay so we’re making these games built off tropey archetypes thrown into horror. That means iconography, iconography, iconography.

Capcom: and we shall sell none of that iconography, fuck you!

I swear no more Pokemon

Pokopia!!

I will do this when I’m back in Australia, the site is localised so I can’t properly look up the games…

(Ignore the lack of shaving, I’m lazy)

I can remember a time when I would be even a minor bit afraid of wearing anything even remotely like this because of, well…perceived girliness. Even though I’m not even attempting to be fem presenting on this trip, I’m still trying to care less.

So hey, Belle Mickey ears!

Sword Art Online be like, really neat story about the reality and emotionality of video games, and then boom, weird shit with sexuality and relationship things (this show is super odd with this and it honestly harms the shit out of it).

(I also bought the Woodkid for Death Stranding 2 CD, but that was something I had been planning on)

Oh no.

I found Tower Records.

They had the 4K Criterion of Schrader’s Mishima.

Oops…

I’m truly ecstatic!

Haha definitely do. You’ll manage, but a bit of understanding definitely won’t hurt.

Bahaha, you absolutely have to. You’d love it.

We’ve been able to get by. I mostly don’t say much and just indicate, with a “arigatou gozaimasu” at the end (or at least the best one I can).

I wish I were better at learning language, I really wanted to, maybe next time (because it feels like there will be a next time for me).

Holy shit…

Speeding towards Tokyo

God that would be so neat. I really hope so 😂

Coming to Japan during Pokemon release season means cafes with tie ins!

(This is a joke, but it’s also kind of not)

Japan is all about the culture* for me

I’m trying not to jinx myself but…I think I’ve gotten away with not taking my adhd meds without withdrawals?

I’ve not had them in 6 days. I feel like the last time I got close to withdrawal was less than that.

This feels…optimistic.
