Tää on kaveri taanoiselle kuvalle Chizusta. Kitsune on Chizun kaveri Samurai Rabbit-sarjassa: ihana, riehakas katujen kasvatti ja silmänkääntötemppujen mestari, joka ystävystyy kaikkien kanssa (erityisesti robottien) ja osaa ajaa joka kulkuvälinettä (myös taistelurobottia). Kuvan pose on kopsattu japanilaisesta puupiirroksesta.
…taas!
Oltiin MacKativerin ja muiden luontoliittolaisten kaa viikko Urho Kekkosen kansallispuistossa vuodevaihteen yli. / I had a New Year holiday in an off grid cabin in Lapland.
/ Are you gonna pack your trangia without checking it first? / Yeah, it’s washed and all -Washed in a creek in Scotland at six in the morning a month ago! /
/ I reserved a cabin and taxi will take us to a parking lot 2,5km from it. -Yess! / This trip is going to be easy /
/ Road isn’t plowed. I’ll leave you here, 8km from the cabin. -uh, okay. / It’s getting dark. We still have more than half to go. / I can’t anymore! My toes are freezing! -Forest road ended. It’s just unbroken snow from now on /
/ We just have to keep going. -This isn’t what I signed up for at all! /
/ Hell. Where are we? / There’s half a meter snow and I don’t even know if we’re supposed to go this way. Compass is useless when I don’t know my position… /
/ I’m tired too! What if I lead everyone around in circles. We can’t — What should I do?! / Does anyone have GoogleMaps at hand? -yeah. /
Likinäköisen kääpiön kirves ja toppahameen vetoketjujen tärkeys

/ What do you think is the main purpose of intimate relationship? Meaning of life is 42 so I’d say 43! / Describe a perfect erotic holiday. How and where did you get your first kiss? Do you fall in live with a person or a gender? / Pass. /
/ What’s the name of the turtle? -Bentley! -Donatello! -Oogway! /

/ Here they have rested under a spuce tree. / Here they took a scenic route /
/ And here -aaaaaa- they sat! And look – / You can even see their toe prints! The cutie bunny boo’s towsie wowsies!! I can’t even !!! /
Lopuksi vielä, yleisön pyynnöstä / I was requested to illustrate this epic confrontation:
Us as Avengers was a recurring joke during the trip along with Staalo as a recurring baddie so I guess this was — inevitable.
Muoks: Laitan tän kuvan nyt tänne kun en keksi muuta paikkaa.
Sukulaisjoulun ja talviseikkailun välissä ehdin jotenkin elää tällaisen päivän:
Kyseinen ficci on @eternalglitch ’in Like Father Like Son.

/ Hmh. Mr. Spock again. -As usual. /
Piti leikkaa tukka kun yks aamu peilistä tuijotti vastaan Järnefeltin kaskenpolttajatyttö xD
Olin Tallinnassa treenaamassa naginataa, se oli kivaa! Tunnelmia reissun varrelta. Tuttuun tapaan määrä ennen laatua ”:P / Some memories from a naginata seminar in Tallinn. Fun times! Quantity over quality, as always…
If you want attention, carry a long stick with you in public.
/ Do you have flag poles there? / Are you girls into javelin throw? /
/ Girls going fishing, ha? / Looong stick – cool..! /
On tying an obi
/ The movie Memoirs of a Geisha has this line: She doesn’t know anything about tying an obi! / For a long time it made me think only this: -Oh dear. Anakin, no. /
/ But now I find myself to be in possession of obi – and I don’t know anything about tying it! /
/ May I help (not question) / … /
/ There! -Do you leave the ends loose? Bennet says it should be a bow. / Oh it’s because the Japanese don’t have butts! /
It was in fact the second time ever I was training with full bogu armour.
/ Strike, regroup, step, strike again, regroup and go on! / Ooooh shiiii… /
/ I’m so slow no everyone is watching aah what was I supposed to do my pair must hate me /
/ And now let’s pretend we’re tigers! -So unfair! I’d rather be there! /
On importance of correct words / Puhu äänellä jonka kuulen, sanoilla jotka ymmärrän
/ Flip your opponents naginata and strike sune / *lightsaber noises / Please use correct words! /

/ Phew, we still had six minutes marginal! / I’ve nothing smart to say really except do be careful with those taxis. /
/ …some sort of kendo maybe / Yass! Golden star! Wohoo! /
One of Kirsi-sensei’s animals was war horse. Here’s how I imagine a horse would use naginata.
Horse’s qualitys are strength and stamina and it can attack forcefully with swift movements. On the other hand, it’s attacks are easy to predict which can be used to your advance.
^This is humour. It’s how I imagine war horse would work. I didn’t hear Kirsi-sensei’s reasoning about animals as I was dying of cringe inside the bogu ”:D Too bad… (next time baby)
/ Teabag wisdom of the day: It’s always tea time. / Never before five in the afternoon. /
Piirsin tän suoraan tussilla ilman luonnostelua ni mittasuhteet heitti hetulaa ja Corton sijaan tulikin Corsto.
Aiheen vierestä: opin internetsistä, että ennen vanhaan merimiehet piti korvarenkaita siltä varalta, että jos kuolisi kaukana merillä niin korviksilla voisi maksaa hautauksen. Cool!
/ Would you get up and go to work?! / NO! It’s November*, I’m bleeding and I need to go to Lahti today! / *) it was december /
No really Lahti is quite nice, it was just the thought of going anywhere that was awful.
Sori kaikki lahtelaiset.
Katsoin Netflixin Samurai Rabbit: Usagi Chronicles-sarjan. Se oli kiva, sellanen hyväntuulinen lastensarja niinkuin vanhoina hyvinä aikoina omassa lapsuudessa. Ja vähän taikapölyä tuli tietty siitä, että se perustuu (=löyhästi inspiroituu) Usagi Yojimbo-sarjiksiin. Kehtasin kattoo, kun Stan Sakai yhdessä haastattelussa kertoi ihan fiilistelevänsä sitä.
Mun lempihahmo oli ihana goottininja Chizu, joka ykköskaudella riehui naginatan kanssa (kakkoskaudella se vaihtoi jouskariin, pöh). Eka kuva on kopsaus japanilaisesta puupiirroksesta. Tähän tokaan halusin piirtää bogun ja kun osasin löytää reffit vaan moderniin urheiluboguun ni asekin on sitte bambuinen.
*SPOILERIVAARA*
Sit koska fanartin tulvaportit on nyt ryskyneet ja kissa on ulos kassista ja never stop the madness, ni lopuksi piirsin tällaisen pienen screencap redrawn ykköskauden finaalista :”3 Purr <3
