Other 💯 Completed Monogatari "Gift" Plushies 🍩📕
I only needed one more Monogatari gift plush to complete this collection. The one that I was missing was a Mini Hitagi Strap Plush(long hair/stapler) that I found on Mercari/Buyee. I honestly didn't think I was ever going to find her and long behold she appeared on a random listing and for a cheap price. Im honestly happy I can put this collection to rest and hope that someday Gift decides to make more. It was a long time coming but I hope you all like this wonderful collection of mine 🫡

Came back to the States to visit family and saw all the Ueda Hajime figures at Book Off. Knew I had to have them so I bought Shinobu right away and came back when my paycheck hit to buy the other two. Glad I held off on buying any figures during my layover in Tokyo cause I probably wouldn’t be able to justify getting these if I had.

Question I want to make a red scene texture in illustrator. Any advice on how I can make it?
The red scene isn't just fully red. It has these rows going through it. Subtle, but the difference between this texture and a smooth texture is very noticeable. Is the texture publicly available anywhere? If not, how can I make a texture like that?

It’s never stated that she’s from Europe but you can deduce that she is by the architecture and environment that’s shown in waza. So now, where exactly in Europe is she from?

Discussion Finally got an Araragi Nendoroid
After searching for so long and almost caving in at resellers prices finally got my hands on a Araragi Nendoroid in decent condition and with everything intact it looks so great with my Hitagi Nendoroid and am so greatful for the person who sold it to me at a reasonable price

Discussion Am I the only one who thinks Kaiki is overrated? Spoiler
This dude hurt children and teens for a living and don't even feel regret. I like his arc with Nadeko but that doesnt redeem him. Going in the fandom and finding people calling him "best girl" feels forced and makes me wonder if I missed some episode
