The Japanese cover of the second volume of the manga Red River. It features the main character, Yuri, in a short white tunic with a piece of red and gold fabric draped over it. She also wears bronze bracers and jewelry set with red stones, and a pair of slouchy brown boots with red accents. She holds a sword with a bronze scabbard in a similar style to her bracers
A beach themed cat tree. There is an orange cat (Bisque) sitting on a bed on the left side. Underneath a little hammock, a black cat (Junior) peeks out like the little cryptid he is
A page from the manga Red River. Yuri Ishtar stands before her ladies in waiting (all of whom are armed) and flashes a peace sign while saying, "We'll show you what women can do. Y'might learn somethin'... Heh!" And then the various military commanders (all men) she is in charge of shiver in fear. It really doesn't have quite the impact of a fan translation from way back when
A video showing a turkey hen crossing a grass path with her chicks, two of which are visible. There is audio of a child (not visible) saying "oh it is so cute!" and then a second child saying "oh my goodness"
Myself cosplaying as Vash the Stampede, very specifically the original manga version. I am in a sort of construction-y looking site with lots of bare concrete and dirt. I have one foot up on a broken concrete barrier and I'm flashing Vash's crossed fingers peace sign and smiling at the camera
A very tiny cup decorated with Soot Sprites from Spirited Away. It has a matching tiny saucer and currently has a tiny spoon resting on the edge of the saucer
The poster for the new He-Man movie hanging in a Cinemark theater
A photo of a pink-ish smoothie in a cute glass with little cats on it
A view out my front window from a darkened room. You can see flashes of light outside from the fireworks, which you can also hear exploding. At one point a spark passes directly in front of my window
An image from the manga Red River. Yuri is sneaking around in a cute little mini dress trimmed in ribbon. This one basically has spaghetti straps made of the trim. It's also belted, and has tiny little slits on the side highlighted by the trim
An image from the manga Red River showing Yuri in a simple tunic. It is clearly open only on one side and appears to have buttons or pins of some sort holding the shoulders together
An image from the manga Red River showing Yuri in a tunic with trim all along the edge
An image from the manga Red River showing Yuri protecting Kail with his own sword like a badass, and also incidentally flashing the audience
An image from the manga Red River showing Yuri's iron dagger when she first picks it. It is in a rusty, shabby looking sheath and has clearly seen better days
An orange cat lays on the back of a couch with his eyes closed, head pillowed on a white and blue plush dragon. He has one paw extended so he can rest it on the tips of the fingers on my outstretched hand
A photo of me as Sailor Pluto, based on fan art by Popoalu. I am wearing a white pencil skirt and a sleeveless black jacket with gold detailing along the edge. I am wearing a long necklace with a red cross at the end, which hangs between the very low cut of the jacket, plus a black choker, and Pluto's iconic chevron earrings
A photo of a large patch of black-eyed susans (dark yellow flowers with radial petals and a black center) surrounding a bird bath. The sun is casting a shadow of some of the flowers into the water basin
A selfie of me in my "pin-up" Sailor Venus cosplay. You can see I am wearing an orange button up shirt, blue choker, and a necklace with a little white enamel bow on it. I am also wearing a blue mask, and my hair is done up with a red bandana. I also have dramatic red sunglasses sitting on top of my head and cute cherry earrings
An illustration of Sailor Pluto in a vaguely Greek dress. It is folded over like a chiton but strapless, buckled in place with a wide belt almost like a corselet, with a big brooch holding the excess on one side. She is also wearing a lot of fancy jewelry and holding her key staff, looking off to one side with her eyes closed
A mirror selfie of me in a fairly casual Sailor Pluto cosplay. It involves a black pleated skirt and a slouchy tank top with a wide sailor collar. I am wearing a long green wig, black choker, a short necklace with Pluto's black neck bow in acrylic, and a long necklace with a key on it.
An embroidered duck. It is a male Common Goldeneye (Bucephala Clangula) in eclipse plumage. He has a grey chest with a black and brown head and back. It is embroidered with blue under the duck so it looks like it's swimming, with some tufts of tall grass behind it
A tiny watercolor painting of a mantis of some variety, probably a Chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis). It is viewed from below as if it is clinging to the other side of a window and viewed through the glass
Cover art from the classic manga Red River by Chie Shinohara. It features Yuri Ishtar in a short white tunic kept in place with a segmented bronze belt. She has a red and gold cloth draped over one shoulder and is wearing slouchy brown boots wrapped with red cord. Around her head is a circlet similar to the belt but set with red stones. She is also wearing bronze bracers and holding a sword in an intricate scabbard
A tiny grey kitten sitting on some blankies in a cardboard box. He's got a white chest and toes, a white stripe down his nose, and a little white moustache. He's about 3 weeks old and still has blue eyes and slightly curled ears.
A photo of a bird, I think a Warbling Vireo (Vireo gilvus) standing on a branch, mostly obscured by leaves. It's a tan bird without much by way of exciting markings, but the leaves just frame the top of its eye, with its white eye stripe
A juvenile American Robin (Turdus migratorius) standing in a curved branch, giving the camera a little side-eye, looking vaguely alarmed. It's in its awkward teenage phase with a short tail and stubby wings. It is a brownish bird with a red chest
A Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) on a tree branch. He's sort of obscured by some leaves. Yes this was the best photo I could get of him. Anyways he is a bird with an orange underbelly and black back and head. There's some white on the wings too but you can't see that in this photo
A Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) standing in shallow water facing to the right of the frame. It is standing on one leg. The leg closest to the viewer is held up under its wing, sticking out behind it like it's stretching (except it wasn't, it was just standing like that). It has its long neck tucked behind its body, except its head is just high enough for it to glare directly at the viewer from over its own back. It is kind of silly. This is a white bird with a black face, except this one is very muddy right now so only its wings are white at the moment.
A Black-Necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) standing in some shallow water. It is facing slightly to the left and pulling some kind of plant or something out of the water. It makes it look sort of like there is a line connecting the tip of its beak to its leg. This bird has very long legs. It is white with black wings, and the black extends up the back of its neck and head
A small watercolor painting of a brown garden snail. There is no background, but it looks as if it is standing on on some surface and looking down over the edge
A photo collage of some jewelry I have made. Moving clockwise from top left: a collar pin in the shape of a dragon skeleton, made of torch anodized titanium; a pair of hammered bar earrings with faceted amethyst beads at the bottom; a silver ring set with a red garnet, which crosses over so that it is adjustable; a copper pendant in the shape of a diamondback rattlesnake curling around a brass chain; a silver pendant that looks like the silhouette of a cat hanging playfully from an amethyst "ball"; a large, circular copper pendant that has been intentionally aged and has irregular lines cut out from the sides, with shelf mushrooms growing out of the front
A photo of a bird, I think another Blackburnian Warbler (Setophaga fusca) standing on a branch facing the camera, head down a little but staring just to the right of the frame. Its back is mostly black with some white stripes, and it has an orange head and chest with black striping
A photo of a tiny ball of fur curled up under a leaf. I'm told it's an eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis). It was extremely unbothered by the hordes of people cooing in it's general direction and taking pictures. If you look closely you can see its little wings curled up over its face
A photo of a juvenile squirrel, laying out on a branch, partially hidden under some foliage and peeking at the camera with one eye
A Gray-Cheeked Thrush standing on a rotting, fallen branch, facing towards the right of the frame, head tilted slightly in a way that makes it look like it's having deep thoughts. This bird is a sort of grayish brown with a lighter chest covered in dots. It also has, yes, gray cheeks
A prothonotary warbler standing on a branch, facing the camera with its head tilted down so you are looking at the top of its head. It is a bright yellow bird, and it's face is covered in mud
A photo of a male Blackburnian Warbler standing on a branch, facing to the right, beak open as he sings. This warbler has black and white wings, and an orange head and chest with a black cap and eye stripes
A photo of a small grey-brown songbird clinging to the bark of a tree stump right next to a hole. It is looking over its shoulder towards the camera and has a little bit of white fluff held in its beak.
A photo of a thank you card written by an elementary student. It reads "THANK you for everything! You are probably THE MOST Funest person I HAVE EVER Met!" followed by a bunch of hearts in purple and green
A blurry (because it was really far away) photo of a screech owl sitting on a branch, probably sleeping
A selfie of me on a beach. The sky behind me is overcast
An illustration by CLAMP of Umi Ryuuzaki from Magic Knight Rayearth, in a dress that looks a little like a Greek chiton with some fancy jewelry. I wouldn't be making it exactly like this but rather picking favorite details from several similar illustrations
A photo of a set of silver jewelry. They are in the shape of mountains, and set with triangular agate cabochons striped in shades of purple, grey, and tan. There is a necklace and a pair of earrings
A photo of the string in question, all shredded by cats. It's braided with blue, teal, and pink.
A photo of the stones described above
A photo of a small 7-string lyre (hand harp) in the shape of a dragon, curled up with its tail tucked under its chin. You cannot of course tell, but the other side is similarly detailed!
A photo of my hand giving a thumbs up next to a "I voted" sticker from Ohio
A small watercolor painting of a juvenile reddish egret standing akimbo on a wooden fence
A photo of the armor-inspired Versace dress worn by Zendaya to the Met Gala in 2018, displayed on a mannequin in a museum gallery
A photo of an invasive bradford pear, formerly of my front lawn, felled in my driveway
A small watercolor painting of what is probably a juvenile reddish egret standing akimbo on a wooden fence
A small watercolor painting of a snail, possibly a brown garden snail (Cornu aspersum)
A small watercolor painting of a lungless salamander of some variety, perhaps a long-tailed (Eurycea longicauda)
A bunch of crystals with holes in them so they can be used as beads, plus some freshwater pearls, mostly undrilled
Several faceted gemstones on a piece of white paper. From left, going clockwise, there is a trio of teardrop cut blue topaz; a huge amethyst cut in an irregular triangle-ish shape; a stone cut in an elongated triangle, which is mostly purple but yellow on the narrow end; a matched pair of bright reddish-pink circular cut stones; a single round clear stone; a pair of bluish-grey stones cut in matching ovals. The clear one and pink ones I think are perhaps lab created stones, not so sure about the ovals.
A bunch of stones laid out on my (slightly distracting, sorry) fabric cutting table. To the left are some tiny carnelian cabs, there's some druzy agate, lots and lots of amethyst, slices of agate, some agate cabs in interesting shapes, and two flat black cabs - onyx, possibly, but they were gifts and also unlabeled - near the right
A large stone, cut into a circular cabochon. It's a translucent grey, somewhat dull, not shiny, and has inclusions throughout. There is a definite crack across the middle, slightly off center
A photo of the outside of the folded paper from the previous post. It reads, "pink - tourmaline (rubilite)" and "yellow - Rio Grande do sul topaz" followed by something I can't quite read. Perhaps a number?
A folded piece of paper with some gemstones, mostly cut, sitting on it. Above you can see the box from the previous post. None of the stones on the paper seem to match the missing specimens.
A hinged box that opens to show a curated rock collection. Each rock has a raw sample and a cut sample (tho some of the cut stones are missing), with a label below saying what it is
