I don’t know if you´re familiar with Japanese video games but it’s very rare to find a chubby character in a game, so today I want to talk about Shikiri Hasebe ( 長谷部しきり )
She is a character from しんけん!! (Shinken!!). Shinken!! is an online “Line Defense” web browser game developed by studio PROSPECT / PICTOGRAPH and published on DMM.com.
She is adorable!
She was featured in La Farfa magazine
Most female characters in videogames are usually slim and sexy, it’s refreshing to find a chubby character that is cute!!
Usually, female characters are ‘rescued‘… not the other way around haha.
Every now and then I have these moments where I’m really aware of just how much I hate living. Since I was at least ten? years old I’ve just been switching between desperately clinging to something distract me from my life, and dissociating when that wasn’t an option. There are huge chunks of my childhood missing. I literally don’t remember what it’s like to want to live but at the same time I have an idea of what it was like and now that’s gone, and it’s like. how do you recover from that? How do you ‘recover’ from nothing? There isn’t a constant desire to die but I don’t want to live either. How am I supposed to put effort into improving a life I don’t even want? There’s no motivation. I don’t like myself and I have no idea how to change that or even if I have any desire to
For anyone not so familiar with cat behavior, this cat is out of its mind excited to do this. It’s much more rare for cars to wag their tails but it means the same as it does when a dog does it. This cat is curious and proud and playing. It keeps looking at its owner too, like “LOOK AT ME, DAD” and it’s so rare to get videos of cats this happy. This is fucking rad
Nope.. wagging tails means anger or irritation in cat body language.
hey y’all, hope you don’t mind me stepping in!
you’re both right 🙂 a wagging tail means the cat is highly stimulated (think coiled spring, ready to go off). depending on the situation, this can be interpreted differently – just like people can smile nervously at job interviews vs. happily grin at friends.
in most cases, it’s safe to interpret overstimulation as ‘you’re doing something to amp up the cat & it wants you to stop’ (ex. unwanted petting). it should be seen as a warning; all that pent-up energy COULD be released as a swat or bite.
BUT in this case, that tail-wagging ‘frustration’ is the stimulation that comes from problem-solving (where can I jump? is it safe to go here?) and the excitement of play. it’s good to be wary of ‘cute’ animals vids, but this seems like an unproblematic video!
I’d like to add to this–just look at world-famous box-loving cat, Maru, who wags his tail every time he stuffs his body into a box or other small object. He’s clearly not about to attack the person behind the camera! It’s definitely based on stimulation, but more to the point of “ahhh FINALLY I’ve gotten into the small space, now how do I get the rest of me inside”:
Also, like. There is nothing forcing this cat to be climbing that wall? It’s clearly doing it because it wants to.
also into you by ariana grande is playing and i just wanted to bring everyone’s attention to that
Guys look at this, the Sakurai Animal Hospital, which based on the photo is the same one Makkachin was taken to in the series, now has its own YOI theme decoration.
