Luckily I was able to find another proxy that could help. Funnily enough, it was only after I ordered from them that I found an option hidden in Buyee that could have helped me.

An email from One mail a package containing the first and last Nico Maki doujin collections is on the way

Agent 25@agent25252.bsky.social · last wk.

Alas, I have found a place where I can get the first and last NicoMaki doujin collections of a particular author I like, but they ONLY allow credit cards. My debit card ain't shit. Using Buyee as a middle man isn't possible either.

Rae the Doe - “Silent Hill” Fog Read the comic on Comics Kingdom: comicskingdom.com/rae-the-doe Support the Patreon: patreon.com/raethedoe

Rae is out on a foggy day. It’s so foggy out that the only thing we can see is Rae’s eye, due to cartoon rules. Her eye looks happy.
RAE: SHEESH, IT SURE IS FOGGY OUT. IT REMINDS ME OF "SILENT HILL."

Rae’s eye now looks like it is full of wonder.
RAE: MAN, "SILENT HILL" TOTALLY OWNS THE CONCEPT OF FOG. LIKE, THERE'S A WHOLE TYPE OF WEATHER THAT MAKES ME THINK OF SPECIALLY THAT. I WISH I HAD THAT KINDA POWER!

We see Rae’s thought bubble. There’s a bird and bear taking.
BIRD: OH, WOW. IT'S HOT ENOUGH TO MAKE ME SWEAT BUT COLD ENOUGH THAT THE SWEAT GETS COLD ON MY TORSO, MAKING ME FEEL WEIRD AND DAMP.
BEAR: HEY, THAT REMINDS ME OF RAE THE DOE!
Rae’s eye looks content.
RAE: THAT'S THE DREAM.

To anyone who went to the Yuri cosplay meetup at AnimeNYC, please share pics. I was stuck on a bathroom line and couldn’t help my sister take any 😭 She was cosplaying a Rabi Ribi character if anyone has pics of her specifically.

Edited the VOD into a slightly more digestible version. Folks often believe that samurai in the Edo period were separated by class from the commoners they governed. But the line of who was what was blurrier than you'd expect! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jh-... #vtuber #japanesehistory #history

if you are mourning dolly and if this quote speaks to you then i insist that you go out and find a copy of tacky by the fantastic writer and even better person @raxkingisdead.bsky.social

For those who might have forgotten, Dolly was always punk as fuck

"I made jokes about it, but it's the truth that I kind of patterned my look after the town tramp. I didn't know who she was, just this woman who was blonde and piled her hair up, wore high heels and tight skirts, and, boy, she was the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Mama used to say, 'Aw, she's just trash,' and I thought, That's what I want to be when I grow up. Trash."

Narration: "From his cavernous mouth come [sic] an accusing wail..." Below the narration a black cat stands in something looking like a forest. His eyes are red with black pupils, mouth open with a large "MEOW MEOW..." sound effect.

Solid white background. It's the New Warriors, kids. Left to right: Marvel Boy says helpfully, "We can just alert the police and they'll arrest him." Night Thrasher, fists clenched, turns to Marvel Boy and replies, "NO! The cops are USELESS!" Nova stands far right silently watching this chat with his left fist in his right palm.

Zansu looks like a Single Guy who sneaks into swinger clubs in rural Nevada

An illustration from the first volume of the Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan light novels. Zansu, an angel with a tall pink mohawk, sunglasses, leather sleeveless jacket and several bracelets like the halo around his mohawk leans over from a window with a smile to Sakura's shock. Sakura is in pajamas as is Dokuro-chan who has her hair down and is sleeping peacefully

I could write volumes about the Orientalism inherent in expecting translated Asian texts to be somehow intrinsically different in vocabulary and metre to native English. They're not foreign and exotic to local readers, why on earth would you want them to be different for you if you want authenticity

wrote a thing on Tumblr about danmei translation #MDZS

Went down the rabbit hole of fandom discourse on danmei translation and saw this reddit comment that's probably representative of people's gripe with all the modern language used in MDZS:
"It's good if you don't care about keeping it true to the original text. The problem with seven seas and the translation of this particular book is the editors.
Suika's translation is good, but then it gets edited and some wording changed because of localization and to make it sound more....American. Which is why WWX at times speaks modern words.
Localization is the bane of official translations."
It had me a bit confused though because if Wei Wuxian isn't supposed to sound "American", what's he supposed to sound like? A Victorian gentleman? An Elizabethan court jester? Just don't expect him to sound Chinese when you're already reading an English translation.

WWX speaks modern words because that's what he does in the Chinese original - this is what I find fascinating about these Chinese internet fictions, which is that they're often an interesting blend of poetic literary/classical Chinese and modern day internet slangs and idiomatic humour. I grew up reading tons of serious literary fiction so I find this especially refreshing. One of the main goals for online fiction writers is to keep their readers engaged and hooked, and a story written entirely in literary Chinese would be too much of a slog that might make readers lose interest. This is why even in the works of authors like Meng Xi Shi who tend to use formal/literary language, there're still plenty of modern day slangs and quips strewn about.
For me the best example of this blend of the classical and the slangy is probably 2ha. I think I once wrote a post that mentioned that Meatbun literally used the Chinese translation of the English idiom "carrot and stick" in 2ha which is set in fantasy ancient China.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”
