So lately I've been having fun figuring out how characters in Overland would speak in Japanese. Sometime in the future I'm going to work on a short one-shot Overland comic to show to an editor in Japan (not for any big career purposes obviously, just for a portfolio review since it's possible to make appointments and since I'll be in Japan why not)
In any case, figuring this out is kind of fun because if there's one thing I love about Japanese it's the really different ways people can talk (I once considered referring to myself as "boku" until I realized that that was dumb and people would probably think I'm just incapable of speaking anyway). I figure Ari would use "boku" because he's polite (and I just...can't see him as an "ore" user), though in general he's probably a pretty casual speaker when he's not talking to higher-ups. Viktor is definitely "watashi", and would probably speak very politely, but in that...uh, faux/threatening polite way that you tend to see a lot (慇懃無礼, I think? Bitingly polite). Sophia is clearly "watakushi", and super polite. She was probably the easiest to figure out. Lily is another "watashi" ("atashi"?), but I can't figure out if she's polite or not when speaking generally (though the more I think of it, the more it seems she'd be pretty casual since she's an excitable kid).
Nagi (she appears in chapter 2, though I've drawn her...once, I think?) is a "boku" user and speaks casually. Noir (also in chapter 2, and yes, he's the same Noir from Cursed Blessings) is casual and uses "ore"...and I think that's it for the important characters so far. Not like any of this is really important in the long run, but I was bored and it made for amusing thoughts.

So, uh, Overland has finally updated. This page took stupidly long to finish because I was so distracted by Persona 4/New York to do anything worth anything, but as soooon as I left everything was fine lol. In any case, I'm hoping to do a page a week for a while, especially since I'll be busy with moving to Japan very soon. We'll see how everything works out.
Harry Potter 6 in a few days! Woo! Now I get to see the two scenes my cousin is in, haha.

Treadmill count: 650 calories burned today.
I know tomorrow's the 4th of July, but I wish I could go in :( Today was a lot easier than yesterday, and I'm not sure if it's because I did it yesterday or because I had some really catchy music playing while I was exercising (as...much as I hate to admit, The Pussycat Dolls have some really freaking catchy songs, I can't stop listening to Hush Hush; Hush Hush oh god) lol.
In any case, this isn't as painful as I thought it would be and I think I can keep it up, if I try. The only problem is I'm going to New York for all of next week...not sure how I'm supposed to keep it up then. I guess walking all over the city should help? I don't even know.

There's something beautiful about making food that you sincerely enjoy and is healthy. Guys, guys, I love this cooking thing so much. ;o; I loved it before, but I never did it that often and now that I know I'll be doing it most of the time I'm just so happy and excited omg.
...Though I know that once I'm tired and totally not up for making food for myself I will totally change my tune, but! For now, yaaaaay. ♥ ♥
In related news, spinach is a wonderful wonderful thing and everyone should eat it more often.
