Tama is boss

THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

Beautiful.

Now I’m crying thanks

and a new cat was hired right?

yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy

she works very hard

Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).  There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.

^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama

Yontama.

a legacy

okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back

“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.

Every time I see this post there’s new info and it gets better

You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.

Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)

you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.

PLEASE READ AND REBLOG!!

TLDR:  My abusive home situation is forcing me, my sister, and our 2 dogs out and we need to find a permanent place to live. If you are willing to donate, I have a Paypal, a Ko-fi, and I will still be sending out shop orders, which is my primary source of income. I’m hesitant to make this post as I have been trying very hard to keep my private life separate from my online presence, but recently the situation has become somewhat desperate. My abusive home situation has gotten increasingly worse this year, especially in the past few months, to the point where my sister and I feel it is no longer safe to stay there. Our abuser has threatened multiple times to harm/kill us and has made it clear that we are not welcome. As we don’t have another place of residence, we are currently staying in an Airbnb with our 2 dogs using my savings to give us some buffer time until we can figure out a more permanent living situation. For this reason, I have finally opened a Ko-fi where you can support me and my art if you are able to! Any amount helps, and anything I get from Ko-fi will go towards my living expenses/rent until my sister and I are situated. If you would prefer to donate directly via Paypal, I also have a link to that here. My Paypal email is ibblescribbles@yahoo.com. I’m sorry that I cannot offer any kind of compensation for donations, but if you would like something in return, purchasing anything from my shop is a huge help and a great way to support my sister and I, especially this year when we don’t have any conventions we can rely on. Orders may take longer for us to process as we move our inventory over to a new place, but we will still be shipping. I tried to keep this to essential details only, especially because it is hard for me to open up abut my private life. I am 19 yrs old, chronically ill and suffer from chronic fatigue that can be debilitating on some days. The additional stress has only worsened my condition making it difficult for me to create art or stay active on social media, both of which are essential to my full time job. Despite this I want to continue to create, and have been to the best of my ability while I am in this Airbnb. This is a really rocky transition for me, but I’m determined to not let it continue to set me back, so I will make and post art when I can!! I’ll update this post with reblogs if the situation changes, and thank you if you read this far!

A thick covering of ivy being pulled off the side of a building.

so glad we got rid of our lush ivy cover so we can show off our shit brick fuck house

Why do people have such an aversion to nature being in their lives? Who looked at this and thought brick looked nicer than the ivy?

If I had to guess, I’d say the ivy is coming off because it’s damaging the building. Can’t say that the building is more aesthetically pleasing without it, but…

Yeah, ivy is very pretty, but is TERRIBLE for brick. If they’d left it it would have eventually completely destroyed all the mortar between the bricks, which can lead to accidents. Give how thick that mat looks, they should have done it a lot sooner.

Like the solid seeming wall just collapsing one day and hurting or killing people.

If you want vines crawling up the side of your house/building, rig up a trellis (you don’t have to buy one necessarily, you can make one from scrap pretty easy) and find a vine that wraps around stuff instead of digging roots in.

Sakura: I was wrong.

Sasuke: I need help.

I don’t think there’s an applause gif big enough to properly convey my reaction to this. Also, I love that if anyone tries to say that you’re just “another hack fic writer with no ideas of her own who is jealous of the “real” writers out there”, they could quite literally be crushed under your catalog of award-winning original writing as a response. They can’t dismiss your stance on this topic the way they do to so many unpublished / fanfic writers because you’ve already met all of the standards that they insist someone has before they’ll accept their opinion as worth listening to.

Right?

“Well, fanfic authors never win awards, so–” “WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD MY HUGO.” “That’s basically, it’s, you know, the People’s Choice, so–” “LOOK AT MY NEBULA.” “That’s a science fiction award, it doesn’t really–” “LOOK I’VE WON THE ALEX.” “…” “IT’S GIVEN BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO GIVE THE NEWBURY.” “…” “I’M THE FIRST PERSON TO WIN IT TWICE IN A ROW.” “…well you wrote porn.” “GOSH I SURE DID.”

Another reblog, another day, Darlings. I’m trying to look into other ways to make it possible to keep this blog functioning whilst we wait for tumblr (unlikely) or the XKit crew (much more likely) to fix or at least provide a workaround for the issues that this new update has brought. 

Please keep being patient Darling ones, I’m incredibly grateful for the support and understanding. 

If I haven’t figured something out soon, I might try and focus on answering some of the private chats and such that have been sent and have built up. I’ve already answered some, but there are hundreds to go through, so it’s taking some time. 

Love you all dearly, please be kind to each other and stay safe.

And then I find out the fanfic hasn’t updated for over a year.

WE CAN ALL RELATE TO THIS POST

Yep lol

This happened to me where it wasn’t updated for a year, I left a comment anyway.

It was updated the next week.

Comment and leave kudos. It does so much for a writers confidence.

This ^^

This is so true, I feel attacked
