Q25. イベントや遠征に向かう時のスタイルは、用意周到派？ 行き当たりばったり派？

>かなり用意していく派。コスプレしていると行動に制限がかかるので、所持品もかなり厳選することに。キャラのイメージを壊さないように飲食の内容にも気を使ったり。TFコスプレの時は紫色のスポーツドリンク持ち歩いてたっけなあｗ

Q25. How do you prepare for events or travel— Meticulous planner vs. Go with the flow?

>Definitely a meticulous planner. When I'm in cosplay, my movements are restricted, so I carefully planning everything—from what I carry to how I act. I even pay close attention to what I eat and drink so I don't break character. Back when I did Transformers cosplay, I walked around carrying a purple Powerade to match Energon🧊#30Qs 2026.8.31

Q24. 「悪役（ヴィラン）」に求める一番の魅力は？

>どうしてこっちが主人公じゃないんだろうっていう器量の良さ、筋の通った動機、正当性…と、Sっぽい攻めの気質ｗ

Q24. What makes a villain truly captivating to you?

>A presence that makes you wonder why they're not the protagonist, along with a well-reasoned motive and real justification... Plus, a bit of a dominant side🥹#30Qs 2026.8.29

ボクトーバー主催者の方から連絡があり、#boktober2026の開催に向けて調整を進めています。お題も九月の初めに発表するということで参加者の準備期間もたっぷり。

ただし自分はこの秋は多忙になりそうなため、毎日の絵の投稿は難しそうです。今年はいくつかのお題だけを選んで参加することになりそう……これまでの開催では一日も欠かさなかったので残念ではありますが。絵だけではなくて文章にも挑戦してみたい思いもある。

I've heard from the #boktober2026 host, and preparations for the event are underway. Since the prompts will be announced in early September, participants will have plenty of time to get ready.

However, I'm likely to be very busy this fall and I won't be able to draw every day as an artist. I might just pick a few prompts to participate with this year... it's a shame, as I haven't missed a single day in previous years. Though I'd actually want to try writing instead of drawing too.2026.8.28

Q23. ストーリーの中で「何を考えているか一番読めないキャラクター」に対する印象は？

>DS9のガラックみたいな知性派キャラなら、やっぱり深みかなあ。期待を裏切らないでほしいって希望と、稀に見せる本心（っぽいもの）のギャップの深度。

Q23. How do you feel about characters whose true motives remain completely unreadable?

>If they're an intelligent type like Garak from DS9, it's definitely about their depth. I want them to stay unreadable, but at the same time I want to see their true(-ish) feelings slip through... that gap.#30Qs 2026.8.27

Q22. 「絶対に折れない精神」vs「脆く崩れ去る瞬間」、どっちが見たい？

>両方見たいけどさｗ こっそり後者。

Q22. Unshakable resolve vs. The moment a mind shatters — which do you want to see?

>I mean, I want to see both but... "the moment a mind shatters".#30Qs 2026.8.26

高気温が続いているせいか、この頃視覚過敏っぽくなっていて、テキスト欄のカーソルのチカチカですら酔うように。幸いカーソルの点滅速度は変えられるので助かったけど、低い天井にあるシーリングファンとか、昼間の運転の不快感といったものを誰にも理解してもらえなくて辛い。前に一度それが原因で仕事をやめたこともあったけど、周囲には怠惰だと思われていたようで切ない…目が回るんだっての😵‍💫

Perhaps due to the high temperatures, I've recently developed a sort of visual hypersensitivity, and even the blinking of the text cursor makes me feel like motion sickness. It's a relief that I can adjust the cursor's blink rate, but what's even harder to deal with is that no one understands the discomfort caused by things like ceiling fans on low ceilings or driving during the day. I actually quit a job once because of this, but my family seems to think it's just laziness, which makes me sad🥺2026.8.24

Q21. キャラクターが負う「代償」や「傷」でグッとくるのは？

>内面的な葛藤を抱えることかな。誰かをかばうための嘘・秘密とか、世界からの誤解・孤立とかは胸に迫る。最後には正気まで犠牲にするくらいの覚悟は尊い。

Q21. What kind of emotional or physical scars/sacrifices draw you to a character?

>How about internal struggle—things like keeping secrets or telling lies to protect someone, or facing isolation and misunderstanding from the world. A determination so fierce that they're even willing to sacrifice their own sanity in the end... that's deeply moving to me.#30Qs 2026.8.23

暑すぎて庭木の落葉が始まった…まだ秋には早いぞ。でも数日前に買い物に出かけたらハロウィン商品が並んでいて季節感ピンチ。

It's so hot that the leaves on the tree in the yard have started to fall... still too early for fall. But when I went shopping a few days ago, they were already selling Halloween items and it messed up my sense of the season.2026.8.22

Q20. キャラクターが持つ「信念」や「こだわり」で特に惹かれるのはどんなタイプ？

>大義名分よりも特定の誰かのために頑張っちゃうキャラとかは応援したくなる。信念の中身よりもそれを貫き通す姿勢に惹かれるのかも。

Q20. What kind of personal beliefs or inner convictions in a character draw you in the most?

>I guess I tend to root for characters who work hard for a specific person rather than some grand, abstract cause. Maybe it's not really about what their beliefs are, but more about their sheer determination to stick with them.#30Qs 2026.8.21

Q19. 惹かれる「リーダー・統率者」のタイプは？

>周囲を引っ張っていく人じゃなくて、自分で動いて勝手についてこいって感じのタイプ。でも突き放すわけでもなくて、ブレない軸や熱量やカリスマ性や魅力でいつの間にかリーダー状態の人。

敵対する勢力には手厳しいけど、部下には公平に接したり、分け隔てなく優しい、とかも好感度高い。なぜかこの手のタイプは敵側にいることが多い。IDWのメガトロン様とかいいよなあ。

Q19. What type of leader/commander do you respect most?

>Rather than someone who forcibly drags people along, I prefer leaders who just act on their own and end up naturally drawing people in. It's not that they push others away—they just have an unshakeable core, intense passion, and a natural charisma that somehow makes them a leader without them even trying.

I also love it when they're ruthless to their enemies, but fair and genuinely kind to their subordinates without playing favorites. For some reason, this type is almost always on the villain's side. Isn't IDW Megatron a great example?#30Qs 2026.8.19

Q18. 「この設定があるだけで白飯3杯いける」という要素は？

>ない方が箸が進む設定の方が多いかも。主人公に出生ありきの設定がなければとりあえず一杯。イタ・クサな盛った要素がなければもう一杯。その上で自分なりの信念を貫いてるキャラがいればそれだけで感動できる。世界や設定の枠組みに反抗する跳ねっ返りがいればもう一杯よそう。

ちなみに地雷センサーが反応する盛りアゲ要素（当社比）がこちら：イタい→中二病的な能力やテンプレ属性のような安易で記号的な要素。表面は美味しいけどじっくり味わう中身がない。クサい→ご都合主義的な展開や感情・感動の押し売り演出。キャラ本位の物語にありがち。

ただしどちらもセンスが伴えば「ケレン味・必然性」として成立するので、作家に求められるのはその辺りのバランスなのだと思う。とりあえずタイトルで完結してる作品は敬遠してる。

Q18. What single trope or setting element instantly hook you into a story?

>Honestly, there are more elements I don't want than elements I do. First, no special origin or chosen one setup for the main character. Second, no cringe, over-the-top elements or cheesy forced drama. If a character just sticks to their own beliefs on top of that, I'm sold. And if there's someone who just refuses to fit into the world's system, even better.

To be specific, I quickly lose interest in cheap, symbol-like tropes, such as edgelord powers or shallow character archetypes. I also get turned off by convenient plot twists and forced sentimentality, which are all too common in character-driven stories. They might look appetizing on the surface, but there's no real substance to savor.

That said, if handled with good sense, both can become great stylistic flair or narrative necessity. In the end, it all comes down to the creator's ability to strike that balance. But for these reasons, I stay away from works where the whole story is already explained in the title.#30Qs 2026.8.18

週末にスタトレTAS観了、1973年のカートゥーン。TF G1観れる人だからクオリティはそんなに気にならなかったけど、時々論理的思考を試されるような展開があったねｗ 未視聴のシリーズLD・PRO・SNW・SFAは日本語版DVDが入手できないっぽいので当面は保留。ダイリチウム不足じゃなくて言語の壁がファンを分断してる感じ。

I finished watching TAS over the weekend, it's a cartoon from 1973. Since I'm someone who can watch TF G1 cartoon, the production quality didn't really bother me, though there were times when the plot really tested my logic😂 I've still got LD, PRO, SNW, and SFA on my list, but Japanese-language DVDs aren't available, so I'm putting those on hold for now. It seems this fandom isn't divided by a dilithium shortage, but by language barriers.#🖖 2026.8.17

Q17. キャラや作品の「譲れない想い（プライド）」を感じるアツい瞬間は？

>メタ的に作者や脚本家の信念やメッセージが反映されているなって直感できる場面。ここに共感してもらいたい、という意思が受け取れるし、それこそが物語の核心のはずだから。

Q17. What kind of moment makes you feel a character's (or story's) true pride or core values shine?

>When I can tell on a meta level that the creator's conviction or message is reflected. You can feel their intent of wanting us to resonate with it, and that scene should be what the core of the story is all about.#30Qs 2026.8.16

6000のキリバン報告をいただきました、おめでとうございます！ ゾロ目は不吉そうなので次は7000に設定します。

I received a report of the 6000th kiriban, congratulations!🎊 I'll set the next one to 7000.2026.8.15

Q16. 後味が「重い結末」と「爽快な結末」、惹かれるのは？

>ここまで重めに語ってきたので意外かもしれないけど、実は楽観主義なので「終わり良ければすべて良し」が一番。鬱エンドでも一抹の救いは欲しい。

Q16. Bitter/Heavy endings vs. Refreshing/Satisfying endings — which draws you in?

>It might sound surprising after all this talk about heavy themes, but I'm actually an optimist at heart, so "all's well that ends well" is my favorite. Even in a dark or depressing ending, I still want a hint of hope.#30Qs 2026.8.14

Q15. ストーリーで「一番心が揺さぶられるシチュエーション」は？

>極限まで追い詰められた時かな…キャラの本能や本性が爆発する瞬間。人間性や強靭さを問われる決断もいいけど、脆弱さを認めて折れるのもいいし、ぶっとんで逆方向に吹っ切れたりするのもアリ。

Q15. What trope or scenario sways your emotions the most?

>Probably when someone is pushed to the absolute limit... the moment their true nature or instincts explode. While decisions that test one's humanity and strength are great, but seeing characters acknowledge their vulnerability and break, or completely snap and go off the deep end, is also good.#30Qs 2026.8.12

Q14. 舞台としてテンションが上がる世界観（宇宙、近未来、異世界など）は？

>これは現実的な方が好き、魔法とかファンタジーなチート要素がないから。物語や人間性を突き詰めるなら、SFみたいに厳格なルール内での展開の方が公平だし理想。

Q14. What kind of setting excites you the most (e.g., deep space, cyberpunk, fantasy)?

>I prefer realistic settings, because fantasy or magic feels like a cheat. Developments within strict rules like sci-fi are more fair and ideal, which allows the story and human nature to be explored deeply.#30Qs 2026.8.11

最近「受容的バイリンガル」って言葉を知って、どうやら自分のことくさい。つまり「一方の言語は問題なく使えるけど、もう一方の言語は内容は理解できるのに話せない」状態。で、それで就活が進まないという死活問題。

ちなみに英語のクラスを取ったり勉強すれば改善するというのは誤解。人生の半分以上を英語圏で過ごしているし、一緒に育った家族はネイティブレベルで話せるので、ずっと不思議ではあった。

ただ「話せない」と「考えられない」は違うから、そのあたりはいつも歯がゆい。

I recently learned the term "receptive (passive) bilingual" and it seems to describe me perfectly. It refers to a state where someone uses one language fluently, but can only understand the other language without being able to speak it. And that's why my job hunting isn't going well and become a critical problem.

A common misconception is the idea that taking English classes or studying will fix this. Since I've spent more than half my life in the English-speaking region, and all my siblings who grew up with me can speak at a native level, so this had always been a mystery to me.

However, "being unable to speak" is different from "being unable to think", so that's frustrating all the time...🥲2026.8.11

前から気になっていたサイトマップのテキストリンクがついにボタンっぽくなりました。たぶん指でも押しやすい。 ハートマークがついてるのはメインのコンテンツって意味で受け取っていただきたい（希望）。

I finally updated the Sitemap's text links into buttons, which I've been to do for a while. It should be easy to tap with a finger now. Please take the heart tag to mean that it is the main content👆2026.8.10

Q13. ゾクゾクする物語のテーマ（心理戦、政治劇、過酷な運命など）は？

>真面目に答えると「倫理や価値観の葛藤」…SFと相性がいいやつ。「不条理と対峙するカタルシス」も欲しい。

Q13. What story themes give you chills (e.g., psychological warfare, political intrigue, tragic fate)?

>If I were to answer seriously, it would be "conflicts of ethics or values", a theme that pairs well with sci-fi. Along with "the catharsis of confronting absurdity".#30Qs 2026.8.10

連日エアコンが稼働していても室温31℃とかで頭がくらくらする。でも今日は雷が鳴って久しぶりに雨が降った。立秋だしそろそろ夏も折り返し地点かな…。昨夜からサイトのCSSをいじってスマホでの表示性を改良…されてる？

For the past week, the room temperature has been like 87℉ even with the cooler running, leaving me feeling dizzy. But there was thunder and it rained for the first time in a while today. Summer is probably halfway over now. I've been tweaking the site's CSS since last night to improve how it looks on smartphones... I hope it worked📱2026.8.9

Q12. キャラクター同士の「境界線」または「葛藤」で一番美味しいシチュエーションは？

>「互いに好きって理解しているからこそ近づけない仲」のような、双方が越えられない一線を意識している関係。その上でわざと背を向けてみたりして相手を試すような展開とかハラハラする。

Q12. What is the most compelling situation involving boundaries or inner conflict between characters?

>A relationship where "both realize their mutual feelings, yet remain aware of an uncrossable line". What excites me most is when they intentionally turn their back to test each other, creating that nerve-wracking tension.#30Qs 2026.8.8

Q11. 「無言で背中を預ける信頼」と「言葉巧みな腹の探り合い」、惹かれるのは？

>安定感よりもスリルを取って「腹の探り合い」。本気か？って思わせるような言葉の連鎖に惹かれる。特定の相手にしか通じないダブルミーニングとか隠喩もいいよね。

Q11. Silent, unspoken trust vs. Eloquent psychological warfare — which dynamic do you prefer?

>I prefer the thrill over stability, so definitely "psychological warfare". I'm drawn to a chain of words that makes you ask 'are they actually being serious?' Especially those filled with double meanings and metaphors that only they would understand.#30Qs 2026.8.7

Q10. 作品やチームの中で一番惹かれやすい「ポジション・立ち位置」は？

>とりあえずグループの中で「一人だけ異質」みたいなポジジョンのキャラは好き。もっと具体的に語ると「本来は味方側の立場・種族のはずなのに、一人だけ敵側にいる上、それを自分の居場所として受け入れてる＆受け入れられている」みたいなポジション（ボクタイのサバタとか、［地球へ…］のマツカとか）。

何か複雑な事情を背負っているんだろうなって含みから、生い立ちではなく自分の意思でそこに属することを選んでる、という姿勢が尊い。でも洗脳とかで手懐けられているパターンもいいな…（ENTでロミュランに加勢してた白ドリアンのお兄さんみたいな）。

Q10. What character role or position within a group/team are you most drawn to?

>First off, I love the character who are "the only odd one out" in a group. To be more specific, I'm especially drawn to characters who logically belong to the ally side by birth or species, but stand alone on the enemy side, accepting that as their place, and being accepted in return (like Sabata from Boktai, or Matsuka from Toward the Terra).

There's something so captivating about the implication of a complex backstory, and the fact that they chose to belong there by their own will. Though I also like it when they've just been completely brainwashed or tamed, too (like the Andorian brother assisting the Romulans in ENT).#30Qs 2026.8.6

Q9. 「信頼」と「裏切り」、どっちのドラマが好き？

>ドラマとしては「裏切り」がいいけど、「信頼してるからこそ裏切らなければならない」みたいな拗れたシチュが好き。動機が善や愛情なのに味方を裏切らざるを得ない葛藤とか。

Q9. Trust vs. Betrayal — which emotional drama do you prefer?

>As a drama, I prefer "betrayal", specifically those twisted situations like where someone has to betray the other precisely because they trust them. I love the conflict where their motive is actually goodness or kindness, yet they're forced to betray their own allies.#30Qs 2026.8.5

Q8. 「宿敵・ライバル」に求める熱量は？

>熱いのとか執念とか飽きちゃったからなあ、腐れ縁程度のゆるーい距離感がちょうどいい。「ここで会ったが百年目！」からの「今回はこれぐらいに…」みたいな引きの良さねｗ

Q8. What do you look for in a rival/archenemy relationship?

>I'm honestly kind of tired of intense or obsessed rivals. I prefer a loose, long-standing 'enemy-friend' dynamic with just the right distance.#30Qs 2026.8.3

そういえばクーロゼットについて前にも書いたなと思い出して発掘してきた過去絵…もう10年近くも前か。この収納引き出しとワイヤーシェルフが新しいクローゼットに入らない気がして心配。キューブの数も減らさないといけないし。ちなみに適当に描かれているいい加減な人物が自画像で、このサイトでは404あたりのエラーページでだけ観測できたヤツ。

Just remembered I drew this doodle for dA in 2017... almost ten years ago! I'm worrying that it seems this plastic drawers and wire shelf won't fit the new closet. I also need to reduce those cubes🥲 By the way, that sketch-like figure is my self-portrait, the one which could only be seen on error pages on this site.2026.8.2

Q7. 最高の「2人組（ペア）」の関係性は？

>相思相愛ペアとか見ていて幸せ。好きすぎて世界を振り回すタイプだったりすると楽しい。敵側にこれがいると動機が悪や利己心じゃなくて純粋に愛だったりするから否定できなくて憎めないし。

Q7. What is your absolute favorite dynamic between two characters?

>Seeing a pair in mutual love makes me happy. It's especially fun when they love each other so much that they end up messing with the world. It's also fascinating when they're on the enemy side, because their motive isn't malice or selfishness but pure love, making it impossible to completely deny them.#30Qs 2026.8.1

引越しのためにクローゼットの整理を開始。整頓はされているけど物が多い。占める割合でいうと衣類や鞄は半分にも満たなくて、アート・クラフト系の道具類とガラクt…素材がほとんど。で、部屋が狭くなるのでその素材類をかなり処分することになりそう。TFのようなかさばるコスプレ衣装を作る予定もないし。

I've started sorting out my closet for the move. It's tidy, but there's a lot of stuff. Clothes/bags make up less than half of it, the rest is mostly art and craft tools and junks materials. And I'm going to have to get rid of those materials, since my new room and closet is much smaller. I don't currently have any plans to make bulky cosplay costumes like TF, too.2026.8.1

Q6. シルエットだけで「美しい…」と惚れ込む条件は？

>衣服に限るならマント・ケープとかマフラーは間違いなく映える。マントの醸し出す包容力いいよなあ。

Q6. What silhouette instantly makes you think "that's stunning"?

>If I'm strictly talking about clothing, capes and scarves definitely stand out. I love the sense of embrace and depth a cape brings.#30Qs 2026.7.30

お祈りメールじゃなくて「条件を満たさないのでシステムに弾かれましたｻｰｾﾝ」の自動メールが届いて切ない。正直に書いただけなので不採用は理解できるけど。ただ嘘をつかないと誰も書類選考にすらたどり着けないような応募フォームを見かけることが多々あって、逆にそういう人を雇って大丈夫なのか心配に。それとも誠実さって就活の敵なのか…？

It's disheartening to receive an automated email saying like "Sorry, the system rejected your application because you didn't meet the criteria." I understand the rejection, since I was simply being honest. That said, I sometimes come across application forms where it seems impossible for anyone to even pass the initial document screening without lying. It makes me worry about whether it's really safe to hire people who would do that.2026.7.30

Q5. キャラクターの「視線・表情」で特に惹かれるのは？

>「不敵な笑顔」とか好きかも。感情を押し殺していたり、内面の葛藤とそれを見せまいとする外面とのギャップが激しいほど良い表情。

Q5. What kind of gaze or expression draws you in the most?

>I might say "a fearless, confident smirk" is my favorite. It becomes so much better when they are suppressing their emotions, or when there's a deep contrast between their inner conflict and outer appearance.#30Qs 2026.7.28

Q4. 見逃せないキャラクターの「ギャップ」といえば？

>「鉄壁のプライドで強がってるキャラが稀に見せる脆さ」とか「他者には冷酷で横暴だけど特定の相手にだけ見せる優しさ」のような極端なコントラストが激甘。

限りなく気位の高いツンとデレ…すらも見せられずに病む「ツンヤン」の振れ幅の深度がやばいカーデシア人に惹かれる原因がこれ🤤

Q4. What is your favorite character gap (contrast in personality)?

>Extreme contrasts are an absolute treat for me, like "the contrast between a character holding on tightly to their ironclad pride and a rare, momentary vulnerability" or "someone who is domineering and ruthless to others, but shows a gentle side only to a specific person".

This is exactly why I'm so drawn to Cardassians, who have such a sheer depth in their emotional swing, which I call 'tsun-yan'. Starting from extremely proud 'tsun', their pride is too immense to ever show 'dere', even causing them to sink directly into 'yan'(=unhinged, broken, obsessive).#30Qs 2026.7.27

ついにDSC観了、ShortTrekも観たぞ。今回のシリーズで一番好きな登場人物はレノ中佐かな…全シリーズの中で一番可愛い女子キャラじゃないのｗ

I finally finished watching DSC, and I also watched Short Trek episodes. My favorite character in this series is probably Commander Reno. So far she is the cutest female character in the entire series lol2026.7.26

Q3. 惹かれやすい「声」や「話し方」の特徴は？

>この声がすごく好き、という具体的なキャラが思い当たらない…声優もあまり知らないし。基本的には低音ボイスが好みだけど、個人の嗜好というよりも生物学的な傾向ではないかと。話し方では「知的な威圧感」のある口調に弱いくさい。

Q3. What kind of voice or speaking style gets your attention?

>I can't really think of a specific character, or voice actor as I don't follow them. I'm generally drawn to deep voices, but I feel like it's more of a biological trait than personal taste. For speaking style, I seem to have a soft spot for a tone of "intellectual intimidation".#30Qs 2026.7.26

ここ数日、給湯器が故障していて蛇口をひねってもお湯が出なかったり。幸い真夏なので水だけのシャワーでも問題なく入れるような気温だけど、風邪でも拗らせたら困るということで、大きめのバケツに水を張って日光にさらしておく作戦を敢行。日中はしれっと４０℃を超えるような気候なので、普通に水が加熱されて夜には熱々のお湯を浴びれたという話。

何が嬉しいって、100％太陽由来の熱エネルギーを楽しめるというところ。さらに日光温水を浴びてから丸一日、血行がいいのかずっと手足がポカポカしていて不思議。今なら太陽銃や太陽弾も撃てる気がする。これからも時々楽しもうかな太陽行水ｗ

The boiler was broken and I haven't been able to use hot water for the past few days. Fortunately, it's the middle of summer and the weather is hot enough to shower in cold water, but thinking that might be unhealthy, I tried to heat up some water by filling a large bucket and leaving it out in the sun. Since daytime temperatures exceed 105°F, the water heated up perfectly, allowing me to bathe comfortably in the night.

The best part is getting to enjoy thermal energy that comes 100% from the sun. What’s more, my hands and feet stayed warm all day long after soaking in the solar-heated water, which is strange, perhaps because my blood circulation is improved. I feel like I'm able to shoot the Solar Gun right about now. I think I'll keep enjoying this solar baths every now and then🫧2026.7.25

Q2. たまらないキャラクターの「パーツ・装備」は？

>「目の強いひと」が好きかな…視線とか目力とかの印象に惹かれるのだと思う。体のパーツや装備はうわべだけの要素だし、眼って内面を表してる感じがして良い。具体的な名前を挙げるとボクタイ・イモータルの赤い瞳とか、TNGのデータ少佐あたりがわかりやすい例。メガトロン様のオプティック・センサーにも当てはまるかな…。　

Q2. What specific character parts, equipment, or accessories do you love?

>The intensity of their eyes... like a strong impression, I guess. Body parts and outfits are just surface-level details, but the eyes are where their true inner self shows, which makes them so captivating. If I were to give concrete names, the red eyes of Immortals from Boktai or Data from TNG are clear instances. Not sure if this logic applies to Megatron’s optics, though...#30Qs 2026.7.25

Q1. 一番グッとくる「人外・異形」のタイプは？

>いきなりこんな質問だもんなあw 実際ビジュアルや属性ではあまりなびかなくて設定重視。そうすると一口に吸血鬼とか異星人といっても世界観によって差があるし。つまるところキャラの「異質な感じ・雰囲気」が好きなのかも。それと品格の有無ね。

Q1. What type of non-human entity attracts you the most?

>That's quite a question to ask first🤣 I'm not really swayed by visuals or standard tropes, and for me, it's all about the character's background and details. Even vampires and aliens can differ depending on the world's setting. I suppose what truly draws me is the character's "otherness" or "unusual atmosphere". And also, having "dignity".#30Qs 2026.7.24

[Link & Gifts]のページに二次元の「癖（ヘキ）」がわかる30の質問テンプレをアップしました。コピペしてご自由にお使い下さい。作品設定やキャラの嗜好をディープに語れそうな美味しいお題に特化させたつもり。管理人の回答は一問ずつブログのネタにしてからプロフィールのページにまとめる予定。この手のアンケートって多くの回答が共有されるほど、クリエーターにとっても大いに参考になるし役立つと思う。

両言語に対応するためGeminiに手伝ってもらって生成した形になるけど、これまでも外部のお題メーカーは利用していたし、テンプレ自体は作品ではないので、サイトのAI利用の方針にも触れてないかなと…。

I added "30 Questions for Fandom Preferences" prompt list to [Link & Gifts] page. Please feel free to copy and use it however you like. It's a fun template for discussing your fiction setting and character preferences in depth. I plan to answer the questions one by one on here, and then compile them into my profile page. I think that with surveys like this, the more responses that are shared, the more helpful they become for creators.

I used Gemini to help generate the questions so it would be available in both language. But since I've used external prompt generators before, and the template itself isn't an creative work, so I believe it doesn't violates the site's No-AI generation policies...2026.7.24

エアコンが稼働してて室温29℃ってどうだろう。気温も高いし生活費も高いのに未だに仕事が見つからなくて窮地。不採用ならせめて今後の活躍を祈ってほしい🥹 Runawayの続きでも書いて現実逃避するかなあ…。

Why is the room temperature 84°F even though the cooler is running? The living expenses are getting higher too, but I still can't find a job which making me anxious. Am I really that unskilled? I need to escape reality by writing the next episode of Runaway🤤2026.7.22

今日は暑すぎて三度くらい意識がなくなって「Now loading」のリング出てた…昼寝とも呼べるのだけど。三度はやばい。

It was too hot today that I lost consciousness about three times and a "Now loading" ring popped up... I suppose that could also be called a nap though. Three times is pretty extreme still🫠2026.7.18

実はまだ16日だけどボクタイ23周年記念絵をアップしました。いつも時差のせいで乗り遅れてる感があるけど、海外だろうが宇宙だろうがおめでたいのに変わりはない🎉

I just uploaded the art for 23rd anniversary for Boktai. I always feel like I'm a bit late to the party because of the time difference, but I'm definitely celebrating🥳2026.7.16

この週末は庭の作業に追われて忙しかった…一番暑い時期なのに💦 そしてエピソード3が完結した［Runaway★Trek］は、欲しいクルーの乗船までしか考えていなかったので次の話の公開がいつになるかは未定。

I was busy with yard work this weekend... even though it's the hottest time of the year. And for [Runaway★Trek], which has just concluded Episode 3, I hadn't really planned beyond getting the crew I wanted on board, so I have no idea when I can upload the next story🚀2026.7.12

気晴らし（？）に書いてるスタトレのネタ小説、もう少しでエピソード3が完結しそう。ようやくメインの異星人×3が乗船して楽しくなりそうだけど、ペンタブを出して絵の方に手を出してみる余裕がない…。ほぼ一話三行とはいえ、英語・日本語の両文で意味を合わせるのが結構大変で、片方でしか成立しないネタがちらほらあったり。そうするとやっぱり表示言語は切り替え式ではなくロゼッタストーン式が合理的かな。

The episode 3 of the comedic StarTrek fanfic I'm writing as a distraction(?) is almost finished. The three alien crew members are finally on board and things are about to get exciting, but I don't have the time to get out my pen-tablet and try drawing something for the series... Even though each post is only about three lines long, it's difficult to make the meaning match between the English and Japanese texts, and there are a few jokes that only work in one language. That's why I think the Rosetta Stone style is much more rational than a language-switching display system.2026.7.9

七夕ということで短冊はないけどお願いはする：仕事が見つかりますように🥲 今は就活関係の問い合わせをしてるのだけど、なかなか返事が来なくて困ってるところ。

It's Tanabata, and here is the wish I'm making: may I find a job soon... I've been making inquiries regarding my job search, but the replies are slow, which is a hassle😅2026.7.7

アメリカ250歳だそうでおめでとう☆ 家で地味にヤキトリをして祝う予定。

It's 250th birthday of the US! I'll celebrate with yakitori instead of a BBQ★☆★ 2026.7.4

この頃は夕暮れの涼しい時間帯に家の周りの掃除をしたり。今日も木の下を掃いていたらボトっと音がして、見てみると親指よりもデカい青虫がスポーンしてた…まんまドゥネイルのラルバ過ぎて怖い。自分の上に降ってこなくてよかったけど、先日ニョロはお断りって書いたばかりなのに😨

Lately, I've been cleaning around my house during the cooler hours of the evening. Today, as I was sweeping under a tree, I heard a small thud, and when I looked, there was a caterpillar bigger than my thumb has spawned. It looked exactly like Duneyrr's larva and was so terrifying. I'm glad it didn't fall on me, but you know I just recently written a post saying no caterpillars allowed😂2026.7.2

[Sitemap]ページをちょっとだけ整頓、「おもいで」の項目は[Policy]ページに移動。サイトマップのリンクもなんとかしたいのだけど。

I tidied up [Sitemap] page a bit. Its "Memories" section has been moved to the [Policy] page. I'd also like to do something about the sitemap links.2026.7.1

追記：「はらぺこあおむし」と「ニャッキ」以外のニョロはお断りｗ

You know how I always want to buy the Very Hungry Caterpillar plushie every time I see it at Barnes & Noble? But I can't stand any other caterpillars except for him and Knyacki😂2026.6.27

《続き》ボクタイ（ゲーム）、TF（玩具・メディア展開）、スタトレ（ドラマ）と、作品の媒体にも一貫性がないジャンル群。自分は作品の形態や形式自体も作品の一部だと思っていて、初めてそこに気づいたのが幼稚園の時にエリック・カールの「はらぺこあおむし」の絵本を読んだ時。大胆な構図や鮮やかな色使いも好きだったけど、何よりもページに穴を開けるという表現の自由さにショックを受けて、小学生になってもしばらく文字の本を読まなかったくらい。余談ながら東京でエリック・カール展が開催中だそうで…行きたかったー🍎🍐🍓🍇🍊

《Cont.》 Boktai (game), Transformers (toy/media), and StarTrek (drama), are all genres that lack consistency in terms of the medium. I believe that the medium/format of a work is itself part of the work, and I first realized this when I read Eric Carle's picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar in kindergarten. I loved its bold compositions and vivid colors, but more than anything, the freedom of expression in punching holes in the pages shocked me so much, that I didn't read chapter books for a while even after entering elementary school. On a side note, I heard there's an Eric Carle exhibition currently being held in Tokyo. I wish I could go~🐛2026.6.27

スタトレジャンルが加わって二次創作ギャラリーによろず屋感が出てきた。ボクタイとTFって一見何の脈絡もなさそうに見えるけど、実は作品の［コンセプト（物語・世界観）］＋［機能（物理的な仕組み・ギミック）］＋［主観的体験（没入感・プレイスタイル）］という各性質の相互作用で成立しているという点で共通してるのではないかと考えてる。その相依性が作品の完成度を高めていて、だからこそ楽しめる作品特有の魅力が限りなく好き。ちなみにこの相乗効果的な現れを「創発」と呼ぶらしい。今はこの枠にどうスタトレが入るのか考えているところ。

The addition of StarTrek genre has made my fanart gallery more complex. Boktai and Transformers might seem to have nothing in common, but they actually share a foundation built on the interaction of these elements: [Concept (narrative/story)], [Function (physical gimmick)], and [Subjective Experience (immersion/playstyle)]. This interdependence enhances the work's overall quality, and that's why I absolutely love the unique appeal of each piece. Incidentally, this synergistic manifestation can be called "emergence". Now I'm trying to figure out how StarTrek fits into this theory...🤔2026.6.27

［Runaway★Trek］の二話が完結したので二次創作ギャラリーにスタトレ項目を追加。ついでに各ギャラリーのもくじリンクのあたりも整頓しました。一話三行のネタということで気軽に続けられてるけど、本当はキャラ絵とかも描いてみたい…今はそこまで余裕がない。ところで実写ドラマの二次創作の場合はナマモノではなくて半ナマ扱いになるのか…？

The second episode of [Runaway★Trek] is finished so I added the StarTrek section on the fanart gallery. Also I tidied up the contents links on each gallery pages. I'm able to keep it up easily since it's three-line-per-post comedic story, but I'd actually like to draw them too... but I just don't have the time now😖 btw, I have rarely drawn or shared fanart based on live-action stuff.2026.6.24

絵は間に合ってよかった。そしてキリバン回ったようなので次は6000かな。謎ジャンルも行き詰ってるし、仕事は見つからないし、引越したくないので引き伸ばしてる作業もそろそろ限界だ…大変な夏になりそう🫪

I'm glad the drawing was finished in time. The kiriban has passed so I'm setting the next one to 6000. I'm making no progress on the mystery stuff, I can’t find a job, and I've put off moving for so long that I'm reaching the limit... looks like it's going to be a rough summer😵‍💫‍2026.6.22

ちょっと間に合うか分からないぞ…💦

I'm not sure if I'll be able to color this in time...😅2026.6.20

スタトレPICシーズン３観了（←新語らしいけど通じるので使う）。去年のユニバのイベントでブリッジのセットを歩いたのを思い出してしみじみ。艦長の制服の隣にジャック君の某グ衣装も展示してあったなぁ。DS9同窓会も観たいけど、お歳を召したﾍﾞｲｼﾞｮｰ人は見たくないなあ…でも初老のｶｰﾃﾞｼｱ人は見たいかも...？

そしてついでにSHORTのトリブル回も観ちゃった…何だあれｗ

Just finished watching PIC Season 3. It brought back memories of walking on the Bridge set at last year's Universal Studios event. I remember they had Jack's costume on display right next to the captain's uniform. I want to watch DS9 reunion too, but I don't want to see older Bajorans... but I might want to see middle-aged Cardassians😳

I also watched Short Trek's Tribble episode... WTH is that🤣2026.6.19

またまた新しいサーチエンジン×３に登録してみました。ついでにこのブログのヘッダーのあたりも整頓、すっきり。

I registered this site with some more personal website search sites. Also I tidied up the navi and status section above. Neat✨2026.6.18

ページ裏のデータの兼ね合いで連載中（？）の［Runaway★Trek］に設定集のページができました。裏ブログで吐き散らしたニッチな嗜好内容が順番に転送されてきてるだけだと指摘されても否定はしないけどｗ

Due to data management considerations on the back of the pages, a hub page for the ongoing(?) [Runaway★Trek] series has been created. I won't deny it if someone points out that this is just a series of posts transporting the niche interests I mentioned on my hidden blog though😘2026.6.17

人を楽しませる仕事をするのが目標で、エンタメ系の分野で役立ちそうなCGやアートを専攻してきた学生時代。わりとゲームも好きな自分がゲーム業界を志さなかったのは、ハードを持っている人しかソフトを遊べないという不公平感が嫌いだったから。

貧乏な家の子はゲームで遊べない、は当然あるし、家のテレビに家庭用ゲーム機が繋がっているからといって、その家の家族なら誰でも遊べる、という保証もないし、ゲーム環境には恵まれていてもやりこむ時間がない人もいるし。どんなに面白いゲームを作っても、本当に遊んでほしい人には届かないのではと思うと切ない。

そんな訳で、環境的にエンタメ系の仕事にはとても就けそうにない今でも、最低限ネットさえあれば誰でもアクセスできる当サイトを運営しています。楽しんでいただけていたら幸いです（長い紹介文）。

My goal was to work in a job that entertains people, so during my student days, I majored in CGI and Fine Art, which I thought would be useful in the entertainment field. While I love games myself, I never aspired to join the game industry, because I disliked the inherent unfairness of software being playable only by those who own the specific hardware.

It's true that kids from poor families may not be able to play video games, and just because a home video game console is connected to the TV doesn't guarantee that everyone in the family can play. Or while others are well-equipped for gaming but lack the time. It is disheartening to think that no matter how entertaining a game I create, it might not reach the people who truly want to play it.

That is why, now that a career in the entertainment industry seems out of reach due to my circumstances, I run this website, which anyone can access as long as they have internet access. So I hope you enjoy it. (And this was a long introduction to this site😉)2026.6.13

登録できそうな個人サイトの検索サイトをさらに検索中。すでに登録しているサーチエンジンの他のサイトを覗いてみたり。紹介文には「〇〇連載中！」とか書いてあるのに、サイトに行くと「SNSで連載中」とだけあって読めないのは詐欺ではないのか…？

Searing for more personal website search sites I might be able to register this site. Also I'm checking out other sites listed in the search engines I already registered. Isn't it a scam when a site's description says something like "XXX is ongoing!", but when you actually visit that site, it just says "publishing on my socials" and you can't read anything there...?🤔2026.6.12

作品ページのコメントボタン（💬）から掲示板に移動すると、入力フォームに作品タイトルが自動で入力されるようになりました。必須じゃないけど便利かな。

When you click the comment button (💬) on the artwork page to go to Guestbook, the artwork title will be automatically filled into the input form now. It's not a required field but maybe convenient.2026.6.9

引越し先の部屋のリペイント、二度目の塗りほぼ終了。前よりも薄い色で落ち着いた。なぜか飼い猫のヒゲも一部ピンク色になってる…？

I'm almost done with the second coat of paint in my new room. The color became more lighter and quiet. But why my house cat's whiskers getting pink too...?😹2026.6.4

追記：こちらのIPアドレスを更新したらようやく接続できた…自分のサーバーに制限されてたのか…。今日は某理由のせいか国中のネットサーバーの動向がおかしいのでは、とか勘ぐっちゃうよね。このサイト関係ないw

Update: I finally managed to connect after refreshing my IP address... was I being blocked by my own server? Or perhaps, servers across the entire country have been behaving strangely today for some reason...? My personal site has nothing to do with it😂2026.6.2

先月に続き、また新しい創作・同人関係のサーチエンジンに登録してみました。相互リンクのバナーは［Link］のページにお引越し。で、サイト自体を更新しようとしたところ、TFPソフトが接続不能でファイルを転送できないトラブル絶賛発生中。ブラウザからサーバーにアクセスして事なきを得ているけど、どこに問題があるのかか突き止めるまで一手間かかるりそう。サーバー障害なのかソフト自体の問題なのか…？

I've registered this site with two more new search engines dedicated to personal/dojin sites, and the web buttons for those sites have been moved to the [Link] page. Then I tried to update this site, but I encountered a problem where the TFP software was unable to connect, preventing me from transferring files. I'm able to access the server via my internet browser, but it looks like it's going to take some time to figure out where the problem lies. Is it a server maintenance issue or an outage? Or is the problem with the software itself...?🤔2026.6.2

スタトレは順調にPICシーズン２へ。TNG同窓会かと思ってたけどそうでもなかった。シーズン１観てたらブレランの曲が頭から離れなくて困ったり。

I've started watching PIC Season 2. I thought PIC series was going to be a TNG reunion but it's not actually. While I was watching Season 1, the Blade Runner music just wouldn't get out of my head...dear🥲2026.6.1

四月馬鹿として書き始めたネタ的スタトレ二次創作［Runaway★Trek］が無駄に二ヵ月も費やしてついに完結、そして性懲りもなく第２話開始。裏ブログでは既出だけど、あと二人ばかり拾いたい異星人クルーがいるんだもんー。

A StarTrek fanfic-ish [Runaway★Trek] I originally started as an April Fool's joke has finally reached it's conclusion after two months, and I've now started the second episode. As I've mentioned on my hidden blog, there are two more alien crew members I'd like to pick up~😙2026.5.31

就活は今週も面接のお知らせなし🥲 というわけで引越し先の部屋の壁の二度塗りを開始。今度はもう少し白に近い落ち着いた色🫟

I haven't received any job interview invitations from anywhere I've applied. So I started the second coat of paint on my new room today. It's a lighter color than the first paint and looks okay so far🫟2026.5.29

視聴中のスタトレDSCはついに新章突入…と思いきや、海外仕様のDVDボックスにはシーズン３だけ日本語が全く入ってないことが判明。日本から届くまで急遽PICを観始めることに。安定のﾋﾟｶｰﾄﾞとなぜか不安になるﾃﾞｰﾀご高齢。

I've reached a new chapter in StarTrek Discovery... but just found out that the international Blu-ray box set lacks any Japanese audio/subtitle for season 3. So until the copy arrives from Japan, we've decided to start watching Picard series first. Picard is always Picard no matter how old he gets, but Data...🥹2026.5.22

絶賛就活中で忙しいけど仕事はない。リモートの求人も減ってるようだし。そろそろ自分のスキル関係の仕事がしたいのだけど、田舎すぎて通勤範囲内に就職口がないし、普通に英語話せないのが辛い🥲

I'm busy with job hunting, but there are no jobs because I live in such a rural area. It seems like remote work opportunities are drying up, too. But the most problem is that I'm good on writing but so bad at speaking English for some reason.2026.5.17

引越し先の部屋のリペイント、一度目の塗り終了…濃すぎたー汗 反対色の上に塗ったせいか狭い部屋なのに一缶使い切ってしまったので、二度目の塗り用にはもう少し薄い色を調合してもらおうと思ってる。

I've finished the first coat of paint on my new room... was way dark😂 Since I had to paint over an opposite color, I used up an entire can even it's a small room, so I'm going to get a lighter shade for the second coat. 2026.5.11

一次創作のギャラリーに貼っていた検索エンジンのリンクバナー、アクセス不可になってしまったようなのでいくつか外しました。そして新たに[COMPASS LINK]という同人サイトサーチに登録、さっそくサイトの紹介文で誤字をやらかして新着から更新のページに移ってしまった…🥲

I've removed several search engine site banners from my [Original] gallery, since they are inaccessible now. But I've just registered with a new doujin site search engine called [COMPASS LINK]. We must preserve this kind of online doujin culture.2026.5.9

引越し先の部屋の壁やドアの部分補修とマスキングまで大体終わったところ。ペンキ買ったからすぐに塗り始められるって訳じゃないんだなあ…。先日見始めたDSCは早くもシーズンエンド、ようやく出会えた今作のｱﾝﾄﾞﾘｱ人はなんだか物理的に固そうな感じ。やわらかアンテナー😂

I've just about finished the small repairs and masking on the walls and doors of the room I'm moving into. I knew that buying paint didn't mean I could start painting right away though... The first season of DSC I started watching recently is drawing to a close soon. The Andrians I finally got to meet in this series somewhat look rigid? Where's their suppleness of the antennae ENT era?? 2026.5.3

作ったり修繕するものが溜まって来たので、週末は久しぶりにミシンを出しきて裁縫🪡 猫がほぐして穴をあけちゃったコットン100％のブランケットを縫い縮めてクッションカバーにしてみたり。そしてついに新しい部屋用のペンキを調合してもらった……塗ってみるまで色が気に入るかわからないドキドキ感。この色→🫟　

Since I had some things to make and repair, I took out the sewing machine and did some sewing this weekend. I made a cushion cover out of a cotton blanket that the cat had torn a hole in😹 And finally I got the paint for my new room. That thrill of not knowing whether I'll actually like the color until I start painting it...

Their paint has digital color code so this is the exact color→🫟2026.4.27

DSC第5話まで視聴。クリンゴン語の台詞が多くて一緒に観てる人が字幕を英語から日本語にしてしまって不便。ストーリーはまあいいとして、今のところ気になる要素が艦長の机の上のトリブルしかない💧 ｶｰﾃﾞｼｱ人とかｽﾞｨﾝﾃﾞｨ爬虫類族みたいな可愛い異星人出てきてー！

I've watched up to episode 5 of DSC. There's a lot of Klingon dialogue and the person I'm watching with has switched the subtitles to Japanese, which is inconvenient to learn the terms and names in English. The story is getting okay, but the only thing that catches my attention is the Tribble on the captain's desk... Why aren't there any cute aliens like Cardassians or Xindi-Reps?😭2026.4.24

ついにスタトレDSC視聴開始、とりあえず第2話まで。見映えはするけど中身は雑かな、というのが第一印象。ただ酷評されたらしいｸﾘﾝｺﾞﾝ人のビジュアルはさほど気にならなかった…ｸﾘﾝｺﾞﾝ語が綺麗だったからｗ

I've started watching StarTrek DSC, I've made it through episode 2 so far. My first impression is that while it looks gorgeous on the surface, the substance feels a bit sloppy. But the Klingon designs, which apparently drew a lot of harsh criticism, didn't really bother me... because their language sounded so elegant🥹2026.4.20

部屋の引越しは来週あたり壁用のペンキを買いに行かされるっぽい。くすんだ淡いピンク系かな。一部修理も必要そうだし、家具が全部入らなそうでやばい。

It looks like I'll be sent to buy paint for the walls sometime next week for my room move. Muted light pink maybe🫟 Some repairs seem to be needed as well, and it looks like all the furniture won't fit, which is a problem🛏2026.4.19

ネタ的スタトレ二次創作［Runaway★Trek］のページが、ついにブログからだけアクセスできるようになりました。上のステータスバーの視聴中のリンクね。Geminiに手伝ってもらって英訳も載せているのだけど、地球人＝人間（ヒューマン）って訳すのには抵抗が。異星人でも〇〇人って呼び得るなら人の間なわけで。

My stupid StarTrek fanfic-ish [Runaway★Trek] is finally accessible only via this blog, from "watching" section in the status bar above. I've included an English translation with a little help from Gemini, though I still haven't quite gotten used to translating "people of Earth" as "Human".

In Japanese, designations follow the "place name + person/people/human letter (人)" naming convention (like American = アメリカ人, Vulcan = バルカン人, and Andorian = アンドリア人). This allows us to express that these beings are not merely "people" in the sense of being physically humanoid in form, but are also "human" in the sense of possessing a fundamentally humanoid nature.

As you can see, the shape of the character for person/human "人" represents a standing human being. It can also be viewed as a species of independent individuals, including the cultural aspects that accompany it. Interestingly, this "人" letter is not attached to the designation for the Borg. Anyway, that's why I feel it's unfair to call only people of Earth origin "humans" in the world of StarTrek. I'm still not sure if the Terran or Earthling are sound fair though.

大^{<big hug!} 2026.4.15

家人が引越す関係で10年以上も使っていた自室から追い出されることになって悲しい😢

Due to a family member moving, I'm being kicked out of my room I've lived in for over ten years. So sad😭2026.4.13

アルテミスⅡの帰還もストリーミングで視聴、さすがにソニックブームはここまで届かなかったけど、無事に帰ってこれたようで良かった。昨日はついにENTを観終わったり…最終話は実質TNG。アンドリア人とズィンディ爬虫類族もっと見たかったー。DSCを観るのは少し先になりそう。

I watched the return of Artemis II on streaming. I couldn't hear the sonic boom here, but glad they returned to Earth safely🌎 I watched the final episode of ENT yesterday (was actually TNG though). I wanted to see more Andorians and Xindi-Reptilians! I'll probably have to wait a while before watching DSC.2026.4.10

踏み報告はいただいていませんが、キリバン過ぎたようなので次は5555に設定します。小さな個人サイトなのでカウンターが回るだけでも大変ありがたいです🙏

The kiriban has passed but no one claimed. I'm setting the next one to 5555. I'm so happy to see the counter moving🙏2026.4.9

隠しページで四月馬鹿をきっかけに始まったネタが連載みたいになってきて、専用ページを作って表に載せようか悩んでる。このサイトではまだコスプレ以外のスタトレ二次創作は扱ったことがないし。TFジャンルにはノリでいつの間にか入っちゃってたけど、大きいジャンルに手を出すのってなかなか勇気がいるのよね（←小心者）

What started as a little April Fools' joke, a sort of fanfic I posted on a hidden page, has somehow evolved into a series-ish. So I'm wondering whether I should create a dedicated page and post them in the fanart gallery. This site hasn't featured any StarTrek stuff other than cosplay yet. I'd somehow gotten into the TF genre before, but it takes a lot of courage to venture into such a huge frontier😳2026.4.6

あれ、いつの間にか新しい絵文字が搭載されてる…ということでサイトのNotoフォントも更新。相変わらず謎のチョイス。宝箱は素敵だけど喧嘩の雲ってｗ

🫪 🧑‍🩰 🫈 🪊 🫍 🛘 🫯 🪎

It seems new emoji have been added. So I've updated the site's Noto font as well. Still some weird choices as usual. The treasure chest is nice but a fight cloud?😂2026.4.2

アルテミスⅡの打ち上げはストリーミングで視聴、無事に出発できたようで良かった🚀 今日見たENTのエピソードは久しぶりにアンドリア人が登場したので今夜はDaftPunk聴いてる（←四月馬鹿のつもり）。[Around the World]のPVをENTの異星人勢が踊ってるイメージｗ

I watched the Artemis II launch on YouTube livestream. Glad to see it took off safely🚀 The ENT episode I watched today featured the Andorians, so I'm listening to DaftPunk tonight (and can I count this as an April Fools' joke?). Imagine the aliens from ENT dancing to the "Around the World" music video🤣2026.4.1

余裕がなくて今年の四月馬鹿には何も仕込めませんでした…残念。ちなみに隠しページの裏ブログではスタトレネタ全開中です🖖

I've been a little busy lately and I couldn't prepare anything for April fools' day... sorry. Though my secret blog on the hidden page is currently full of StarTrek topics, if that helps at all🥹2026.4.1

サイトメンテが済んだので春の庭仕事を少々。日中の気温がすでに初夏並なので夕方頃にシャベルで庭の一部を整地…慣れない作業でさっそく指に水ぶくれができたので今日はお休み。ちなみに中部出身なのでスコップもシャベルも同義語かな…使ってるのはデカい方🪏

The site maintenance is done, so I'm doing some spring yard work. Though I'm just working in the evening time since daytime temperatures are already like early summer. I'm trying to clearing part of the yard with a shovel, but since I'm not used to this kind of work, I've already gotten blisters on my hands. So I'm taking the rest today... I guess I'm better suited for a computer keyboard😅2026.3.24

さっそく読んでみたVHD第44巻、行き当たりばったりな展開はまあいいとして、何よりもめずらしく明るめのエンディングで拍子抜け。長年の戦いについに希望が垣間見えたような。そしてあとがきによると天野画伯の挿絵の収録は今回が最後だそうで寂しい。

I read the volume 44 book of VHD last night, has not the 'dark' ending as usual which surprised me. It's like a glimmer of hope has finally appeared after looong years of their conflict. And according to the Kikuchi's afterward, this is the last volume that includes ink illustration page(s) drawn by the artist Amano. He will keep drawing the cover art though this is a bit sad. 2026.3.21

春分の候🌸 この度のおてんこ・ぬいぐるみ関係コンテンツの更新をもってお祝いとさせていただきます。そしてサイトも三周年ということでめでたいめでたい🎊 さっきｸﾞｰｸﾞﾙ先生に聞いたところでは、ネットの世界には三ヵ月坊主が多くて、個人サイトやブログの平均寿命は二～三年、三年以上続くサイトは一割程度とのデータもあるそうなので、今日まで維持できた事についてはドヤっとしてもいいかな、という感じ。

Happy Spring Equinox🌸 I didn't draw spring art this time, though I'd like to celebrate it by updating Otenko plushie stuffs and the site itself🎉 I just looked it up on Google, and apparently, there are a lot of people who give up their personal website/blog just after three months, and the average lifespan of website is said to be only two to three years. There's even data suggesting that only about 10% of sites last more then three years. So I think I can proud of this day😊2026.3.20

一月から買いそびれていたDの新刊を日本からお取り寄せ。文庫本自体は900円くらいなのだけど、送料やら手数料やら税が加算されて4400円に…辺境住まいの貧乏には辛い💧 でも楽しみにしていたから、サイトのメンテが一段落したら春分のお祝いに読もうかな。一ヵ月サボってた謎ジャンルにもそろそろ決着をつけたいし。　

I finally bought the latest volume of VHD novel from Japan, was published back in January. The bunko book itself costs only about $6 but with shipping, handling fee, and taxes, I had to pay $28 in total... I think that's too much🥲 Though I was looking forward to it, so I'll read it to celebrate the spring equinox after all the site maintenance has done. I also want to get back to working on that mysterious genre I've been slacking off on for the past month. 2026.3.19

今日はコーンビーフと山ほどの野菜を煮込んだ☘ そしてサイトメンテを続行。作品ページ下部のリンクからギャラリーに戻ってくると、閲覧中のジャンルが折りたたまれちゃってる問題をたぶん解消。そういえば二次創作の作品ページ、OG画像は一部兼用なので（日本語・英語版とか）、実際は121ページありました…一応訂正しておく😅

I stewed corned beef with lots of vegetables today☘ And continued working on site maintenance. I believe I've resolved the issue where the currently viewed genre would collapse when returning to the gallery from the links at the bottom of artwork page. By the way, since some of the fanart shard the same OG image (like EN/JP versions), there are actually 121 fanart pages on this site so far... just to provide that correction😅2026.3.17

ほぼ一日かかってページ上の作業は概ね終了。ついに各作品の「リンクをコピー」ボタンがページ内のアンカーリンクに対応。全部押してデバッグする気力は残ってない…⛓‍💥

It took nearly the entire day, but I've mostly finished working on the gallery pages. The copy-link buttons for each artwork finally correspond to the anchor links within the page. But I don't have the enegy left to click on all of them to debug...🙄2026.3.16

あああやっぱり今日中に終わらなかった…明日続行するから作品ページのタイトルの体裁が変なのは気にしないでねｗ💦

Oh no I couldn't finish it today. I'll continue working on site maintenance tomorrow, so don't mind if the titles on the artwork pages look a little odd😳2026.3.15

サイトメンテ続行中…表から見ても何も変化がないけど。SNSにURLを貼った時に（運がいいと）サムネとして表示されるOG画像を制作したり。ファンアートのサムネは全部で115枚あったので、どうやら作品ページも115あるらしい。リンクボタンも作品ごとの＃アンカーまでコピーしてくれるように改修中です。

Continuing site maintenance. There aren't many visible changes to the pages though. I created the OG images that appear as thumbnails when someone post a URL on social media. There were 115 thumbnails, which means there are 115 pages in the fanart gallery as well... wow😲 I'm also updating the link button function so that it copies the URL with #anchor for each artwork. 2026.3.15

サイトの三周年を前におてんこぬいぐるみ関連のファイルを更新中。三年前よりもオンラインの翻訳ツールが賢くなったので英語を直したり。待望（？）の日本語バージョンの作り方説明書もアップ予定です。

I'm updating the files related to Otenko plushies ahead of the site's third anniversary. The online translation tool has gotten smarter since three years ago, so I've corrected the English and also preparing for the Japanese version of the instructions too. It's never too late👍2026.3.5

屋外が夏みたいな気温でやばい。まだ春先の庭の手入れが終わってないのに💧 プレッツェルで食べる手作りワカモレにハマっていて、いつもは「|」を買っていたけどこの頃は「め」を買ってる。何型って呼ぶんだ…？

The outside temperature is like summer today. I haven't finished yard/garden works for the spring yet💧 I'm obsessed with homemade guacamole with pretzels recently. I used to buy the 'l' shape pretzels, but lately I've been choosing the め-shaped, which I do not know the name but cute. Think if there is ぬ-shaped😉 2026.2.28

来月でこのサイトも三周年、ということで[Sitemap]の情報を更新しました。以前にブログでは明かしていた隠しページへのコードも公開。去年の暮れ頃から勉強していたJavaScriptのページもあるけど、他所の環境でもちゃんと機能するかは不明。動かなかったらごめん😶‍🌫

Next month will be the third anniversary of this site, so I've updated some info on the [Sitemap] page. I've also published some codes to the hidden page that I previously revealed on my blog. There is a page with JavaScript programs that I've been studying lately, but I'm not sure if it works properly on other devices😑 2026.2.26

昨夜はストーブを焚いてたのに今日は暖かい風が吹いてるぞ…ついに春かな🌷

Last night I was using the heater but today a warm breeze is blowing.. spring has arrived I guess🌼2026.2.24

外は寒いし来月にはサイトも三周年だし、なんだかんだでメンテを続行中。作品の取り扱いについての項をスッキリさせたら［Sitemap］が長くなってしまったので、新しく［Policy & Rules］ページを作って内容を分割しました。画像だけウェブの世界を一人歩きしてもらっても困るし、その辺りは著作権を明示したり利用規定を設けたりと、管理人らしく管理しないといけないなと。

It's cold outside and this site will soon be three years old, so I'm continuing site maintenance. After revising the usage rules for my artworks, the [Sitemap] page became too long, so I created a new [Policy & Rules] page and divided the content. As an administrator and an artist, I believe it's my responsibility to manage the copyright and usage rules for my own artworks.2026.2.19

バレンタイン絵をアップしてコーヒーブラウニーを焼いたり。しばらく取り組んでいたサイトのメンテも終わったし、二週間ほどお休みしていた謎ジャンルにまた戻ろうかと思ってる。

I uploaded the Valentine's day art and baked a coffee brownie today. I've finished the maintenance on the website I've been working on for a while, so I'm thinking about getting back into the mystery genre after a two week break.2026.2.14

昨夜は強風で屋外が凄いことになってたけど、この地域では春先なんだろうってくらいの所感。問題はシャワーを出たタイミングで停電に見舞われ、ヘアドライヤーが使えないまま眠る羽目になったこと…寒かったw

There were strong winds last night, but it's common in my area, so I don't mind. The problem was that the power went out after I took a shower, and I couldn't dry my hair before bedtime... it was cold🥱2026.2.11

オリジナル小説の設定集ページを公開しました。で、ついでに更新を報告しようと相互リンク登録（死語）している創作系の検索サイト（死語）を久しぶりに訪ねてみたところ、半数がすでにアクセスや変更を受け付けない状態で廃墟寸前。去年までは生きていたと思うのだけどなあ…🙏

仕方がないので主要なページに「構造化データ」なるものを埋め込んで、普通の検索エンジン用に気持ち最適化。上の（死語）になってる部分、何でも流れ去るSNS時代にこそ再評価されて欲しいのだけど。　

I updated the synopsis page for my original novel series (is written in Japanese though). Then I tried to report the update on some old classic web directories of the creative work websites I'm registered with, and found that half of them were either inaccessible or no longer accepting updates. I think they were still alive until last year...😑

So I added something called "structured data" to the main pages of this site and optimized it a bit for general search engines. I hope those web directories gathered by humans and personal websites will be reevaluated in this age of social media, where everything disappears so quickly. 2026.2.7

春も立ち上がって日中は暖かくなってきたこの頃。ここ数日は慌てて庭の木の剪定をしたり。昨年はどの木もほとんど実がならなかったので、今年はもっと肥料をあげて手をかけたい🍒

It's getting warmer outside during the day time. I've been pruning the trees in the backyard for past few days. They didn't bear much fruit last year, so I'm going to give them more fertilizer and take better care this year🍏2026.2.4

謎ジャンルはあまり進展のないまま三ヵ月が経過。そろそろフェードアウトかな…でもここまで来て諦めるのも癪だし😂 ENTは第二シーズンに突入。ホシさん日本人に見えないけど、バルカン人が演じているバルカン人もいないワケで。

It's been three months with almost no progress on the mystery genre. I guess it's time to fade out... but wouldn't it frustrating to give up after coming this far? I started watching ENT's second season. Hoshi doesn't look Japanese, but it's fine because there aren't any Vulcans played by Vulcan actors.2026.2.1

[Link]ページのリンク集がずっと準備中のまま手つかずになっているので、何か足したいとは思いつつも掲載するサイトが見つからない。このSNS時代に個人サイト持っている知人もいないし、ただの便利なサイト集になりそう💧

The [Link] page has remained in preparing status forever. I want to post some links but I can't find the websites to introduce. I don't even know anyone who still has a personal website in this age of social media. It would be just a collection of useful sites. 2026.1.25

Geminiに手伝ってもらってJavaScriptをいじったので、サイトの小説ページのスクロールした距離を示す数が無限に表示できるようになりました。今までは細長ーい画像でごまかしていたので95の次はまた00に戻っていたのだけど。ただしブラウザによってテキストの表示設定が違うのであくまでも目安ということで。スクロールって巻物のことで、本と違ってページ番号で管理できないし栞も挟めないし…で、距離を表示することに。ちなみに数字の単位は×100ピクセルです📏

I learned some JavaScript again from Gemini, to show the scroll position number on the edge of novel pages on this site. Previously, it was just repeating a looong narrow image, so after 95 it would loop back to 00. Though this is only a rough guide because text display settings vary by browser. Scroll is unlike books, page numbers are useless and you can't insert bookmarks, so I put distance instead. The numbers are in units of 100 pixels📜2026.1.19

ついに観始めたENT、とりあえずシーズン1は大人しく視聴。近未来からTOSまでを繋ぐ時代ということで、設備にはまだNASA感があって面白い。登場人物は船長の顔が濃すぎてスタトレというよりはｻﾝﾀﾞｰﾊﾞｰﾄﾞっぽい以外は地味な印象。今回はドクター枠に異星人がいて大変かと思いきや、かなり安定感のある人で先が楽しみ。今のところストーリーもわりと観れて噂に聞いていた程は悪くないし。ヒロインはバルカン人と日本人という謎の取り合わせだけど、まあカーデシア人出てこないんでどうでもいいや…🥲

I started watching ENT season one. The time setting is between the near future and the TOS era, so their equipment still has NASA-ish feel which is interesting. I haven't gotten much of impression of the characters yet, except the captain seems more like Thunderbird than StarTrek. I believe this is the first time that the ship's doctor is an alien, but he seems very stable so I'm looking forward to know more about him. The story is pretty watchable so far and it's not as bad as I've heard. The heroine is either a Vulcan or a Japanese, but I don't care because there are no Cardassians😭2026.1.16

どの先生にも「分からない事は何でも聞いてね」とは言ってもらえるのだけど、聞き方が分からない時はどうするんだろうと考えながら学生時代を過ごした。本当に過ごした。

Most teacher says "feel free to ask me anything" so nicely, but what do you do when you don't know how to ask the question? I spent the rest of my student life thinking about that.2026.1.10

GeminiにJavaScriptをさらっと教わって日本とアメリカの時差時計を作ってみたり。ちゃんとサマータイムにも対応してるやつ。小６くらいの頃から自分の理解できる言葉で勉強を教えてくれる先生がいなかったので、質問したり答えてもらったりできてすごく楽しかった。まともに読める教科書もなかったのに（でも買わされる💧）大学で単位を得られた謎は残るけど。

I learned some basic JavaScript from Gemini and made a time-difference clock between Japan and the US. It automatically adjust the summer time too! Since middle school, I hadn't had a teacher who taught in my first language, being able to ask questions and get answers was very fun. It's still a mystery to me how I managed to earn credits in college even though there were no textbooks I could properly read... but of course, I still had to buy them🥲2026.1.10

食の健康の話題で沸いてる今日、夕飯には七草完全無視バーガーを作ったり。まあ春の七草なんて意識高い食材は入手できないし、バーガー自体はバランスの取れた料理だし…🤔

In Japanese tradition, people eat seven-herb rice porridge on January 7th to pray for health throughout the year.... but since I couldn't get those special vegetables, I made hamburgers for dinner!🍔2026.1.7

データ整理とバックアップ作業は終わったけれど、やっぱり雨でデバイスの物理掃除ができない。ついにヴォイジャーを観終わったので明日からエンタープライズ。ｼﾞｪﾝｳｪｲ怖すぎてﾋﾟｶｰﾄﾞが霞む。

I've finished organizing and backing up my data, but the rain is preventing me from physical cleaning of the digital devices around my desk. I finally finished watching Voyager, so I'll start watching Enterprise tomorrow. Janeway is too scary that makes Picard hides in his palm😶‍🌫 2026.1.4

年末からちょっとずれ込んで今日が家の大掃除の日。明日はPC内部のデータ整理をしたいし、デジタル関連のデバイスの物理掃除もしたい。ぬいぐるみの虫干しもしたいけど、この頃雨がちで日照時間が短いし。洗おうが干そうが最後は日に当てないと清まった感じがしないのは日本人特有の性質なんだろうか。

Today was the end-of-year house cleaning day that had been postponed since last year. I want to organize the data on my computer tomorrow, and I also need to physical clean my digital devices. I want to take care and air out my plushies too, but it's been rainy and there isn't much sunlight lately. Maybe it's a Japanese tradition though, even after washing and drying, I don't feel like they're truly purified unless I put them in the sun😎2026.1.2

あけました🎍 去年は仕事をもらいそびれたので今年こそはという抱負…リアルに貯金も底をつきかけているし。2026年はアメリカ建国250周年、スタトレ60周年、ボクタイDS20周年ということで楽しみも多そう。サイトもさらに充実させていきたいです。今年も太陽と共にあらんことを🔅

The new year has begun🎉 I couldn't get a job last year so getting a job is my goal again this year... seriously, my savings are almost running out😂 2026 looks like it's going to be fun with the 250th anniversary of the United States, the 60th anniversary of StarTrek, and the 20th anniversary of LunarKnights. I want to make this website even more exciting this year. May the Sun be with your new year🔅2026.1.1
