i’ve been really fucking sad all morning & my spouse saw me & decided to feed me to our children









Although last week was sub-par, this week was actually pretty good! I picked up Consumed by Aja Barber. I have yet to start it, but I plan on to soon. I also picked up volumes 1-3 of Jojos Bizzare Adventure part 1: Phantom Blood. It’s my third week of college and I’m already getting the hang of how my classes work. I honestly didn’t take that many “good” photos this week, but that’s okay because even the “bad quality” photos ignite emotion
My goals for this week are:

Good morning and welcome to your Daily!Tom!
Tom on a tree stump. Because why not? Gives a nice view of his very delightful arms and hands. And the always yummy face. Honestly, I’d be happy with pictures of him in a paper sack and call it was art. He’s just that good.
Have a pretty nice day!
i found that it was rendered so beautifully (the manga, fuck the anime movie)
the glow of the floors, quick/efficient linework (the word i want to use here i cant remember… not efficient but suggesting you’re saving up your energy and not overdoing it, striking well but with sufficient restraint, idk)
The expressions felt very playful on every character, different eyes, sometimes stark and straight or long and curvy, or just simple… I felt also like there was a lot of love and efficiency in the rendering of the store–the bid wide shots I didn’t care too too much for but the counters and architecture and displays, florals, etc
it was a perfect balance between detail and immediacy, things felt *just so*
I have a fascination for “care”, how this word mutilates, which ways it is meatgrinded into customer service. I had what I thought was a strong aversion to the sensation of anyone attempting to anticipate my needs–its actually trus, except the operative action is the attempting, and not the anticipation. There’s a certain anticipation that comes from someone knowing you well and having a particular level of trust with you that I realize I care a lot for–but without that trust, yes, this shit drives me up a wall grudge-style (backwards head, long black hair, smock dress? etc)
anyway
there is something about this repeated mantra of anticipating the customers needs, and how MC tries to acquire this skill better in contrast to her coworkers and patrons of the store that I find interesting. I think, too, this captures a lot of the psychology of that very simply–im using the word psychology here as shorthand for referring to processes of the innerworld. It’s with the precision of Marcel Marceau, the mime. The way he can boil down so much into simple gestures, that same skill for visual suggestion. I keep thinking of that seal’s ‘Stare’ for when she wanted Akino to hop to it without even asking her to.
on that note, the seal, i wish they would have not shied away from destructive customers so much, minus the one–and i know she spoke for many– but… when i read vol 2 it was a “season 500” type of feel and not a development type of feel. the ancient tv series way. it disappoints me. lots o room for more. but vol1, as a thing in its own, i think captured a lot of variety.
i know i know, its meant to be a cutie cozy type of thing. but i think its doing a lot beneath the hood that i wish itd go into more, even keeping with the obvious limit of not going into MC depth and staying in the department store building.
thats all the blabber i got for now. perhaps a return and an edit if i ever end up wanting to post a formal review somewhere.
Recently finished Hokkyoku Hyakkaten no Concierge-san
and it was so good
it was like watching The Store
They are so closely related in my brain that i feel i should do something about it, acquaint them formally outside of my head.


seen in Montmartre graveyard (favorite place atm), so pretty the way it looks…. eaten ?? by time
Don’t know when my nights became so complicated. Can’t recall my morning ever being this faded.

Good morning and welcome to your Daily!Tom!
I got this one from @chuckstaylors yesterday and it’s just…. Hat, sunglasses, beard, neck, hand. My goodness. All aflutter. Melting. Sighing.
Have a magnificent day!
Red Bull gives you wings? More like Red Bull gives you an extended flight interval if consumed prior to a flight. Just sayin.
