Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.
BURN BAGEL BURN
OH WHY NOT?
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
Bagel what are your powers
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD
The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!
OK I hate to bring this to your dash but I really need good news so what the heck
The inspiration for all those clothes our favorite characters wear has to come from somewhere. While we can spectate where some creators get ideas for outfits, here are two popular examples of fashion’s influence on manga and in turn anime.
Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon.
The Sailor Moon franchise exploded both in and out of Japan after the original manga was published from 1991-1997. The 1992 anime is now a beloved piece of Saturday morning nostalgia for kids around the world. Though much of the art from Sailor Moon is directly from the runway. These looks, including that iconic Queen Serenity dress, are from a 1992 fashion week.

Takeuchi has been influenced by more than just high fashion. She’s also taken inspiration from the outfits of figure skaters, idol groups, figures in fine art and, the most obvious of all, the streets of japan, where the seifuku (Japanese girls’ school uniform) is commonly found. Fashion from everywhere is infused into Sailor Moon as well Takeuchi’s other works, but if you think that’s simply because Sailor Moon is a girly show meant to appeal to girls then you are about to be proven wrong.
Hirohiko Araki, the creator of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
Originally began to be published in 1986 and still ongoing, Jojo is a staple of boys manga that spiked in popularity outside of Japan thanks to its recent anime adaptation. It’s known for its cast of macho men (and the occasional woman) that each have their own unique, though supernatural, fighting style as well as their unique senses of fashion.
“Fashion is a part of each of the characters. Those wearing hats will keep them on, even in the ocean. The colors used were influenced by the designs of Versace, Moschino, Missoni and other Italian brands that were very trendy in the 80s when the series began,” - Hirohika Araki
Araki’s characters’ clothing designs and poses are inspired from fashion photography and illustrations.

The iconic hand-in-face pose from Jojo originates from the world of fashion which clearly has had its influence on the creators manga and anime for decades. Whether it be through magical girls or burly stand users or anything else, fashion has found a new audience through manga and anime whether audiences are aware of it or not.
After a routine traffic stop by a University of Cincinnati Police Officer, Sam Dubose ended up dead with his face blown off. The officer was wearing a body camera, but the city refuses to release the video. In the meantime, everybody who sees it is deeply disturbed, including the city wide police chief.
Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said he’s seen the unreleased footage from a University of Cincinnati officer’s body camera during last week’s fatal shooting and “it’s not good.”
“The video is not good,” Blackwell said. “I think the city manager has said that also publicly. I’ll leave it there.”
City Manager Harry Black also spoke about the unreleased body camera video of the shooting.
“It’s not a good situation,” Black said. “It’s a tragic situation, someone has died that did not necessarily need to die.”
“American Reflexxx is a short film documenting a social experiment that took place in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Alli Coates filmed performance artist Signe Pierce as she strutted down a busy oceanside street in stripper garb and a reflective mask. The pair agreed not to communicate until the experiment was completed, but never anticipated the horror that would unfold in under an hour.”
