Emotional French Toast

Immediately following taking this photo I waited 20 minutes in the rain outside a tiny six seater Izakaya meaning to politely step in when someone stepped out, thought maybe I should actually check they were accepting customers at all, found out they weren't, stepped in a puddle and drenched my socks, got completely lost and wound up at Crab

Spiffy is cool. Tuxedo Sam. Tuxedo Sam always turns up in the middle of everything. Being spiffy and cool is easy for a little blue penguin.

Ran into Toby Fox in the basement of a mall in Osaka

(the location these were found for sale implies these at some point were in a gacha machine)

To follow up on my post above (Quote: "Beans") Miguel just posted a thread of his photos from that event on bluesky, and he got a photo of the projection mapping monoliths half sunken in the lake

Walking through the Osaka rail station I saw a dude in his late 40s wearing an open button-down under which was a T shirt reading "FOLLOW YOUR FUCKING DREAMS". I am telling you this because I wanted to post the below image but it did not seem like enough of a post by itself.

But I do like this image

Fusion of humans and technology

Okay this is maybe a little too specific to ever come up but if anyone ever wants a recommendation for an Indian restaurant in Nagoya, Japan, I have you covered

(Fluffiest naan I have ever eaten in my *life*, it was incredible)

Going for some slightly aggro fashion choices tonight

I was like "hmm my hair's a little out of control tonight… might as well lean into it"

WE'RE HERE!!!

In Osaka Station on Friday I saw a diaper vending machine. Frick!! That makes so much sense!! Why is this the first time in my entire life I have ever seen such a thing!!

Dudes chillin

Imagine if you were a cat and a fox living in a tiny house and big terrible humans kept stomping around peeking in the windows and taking photos because your living situation is "cute" and "magical". Terrible.

90% of my communication on this trip has consisted of nodding

You exit the "Whisper of the Heart" area through this tunnel which shows up in the film, when the protag has a dream where the creative process is mining glowing gemstones out of a deep cave ( pictured, me and @spookysquid ) https://mas.to/@spinningmind/113417983508031546

Okay so those last photos were from a tiny area themed after "Whisper of the Heart", so it kind of had one side that was just a totally ordinary chunk of suburban Tokyo where the protagonist lives (a bus stop, a mailbox, a phone) and the other side was the fantastic world from her fiction she wrote after school. The bus stop was covered in kids' graffiti. Can anyone translate the bits in the last photo here? Google translate does bad on handwriting IME.

Graaaaaaa
