This is the random face of my tumblr account. Here there be predominantly history posts, historical dress posts, and other assorted things. --heavy on B-T and other vk posting these days due to inescapable mourning tbh, sorry in advance. (update: after two years, sadposting has moved. Thank you for your patience. I'm still a wreck though 🙃)

‘26.4.4 天理市 長岳寺にて

長谷寺からの帰り道、またここに寄りました。桜はやはりピークを少し過ぎて、カキツバタなどももちろんまだ・・いつも何かと見所の端境期に訪れてしまう場所。

でもいいんです。看板ニャンコに会えて頭ポリポリできたのでw

This is like one of those romance novels where people bond over accidentally writing each other emails but better.

Like Pride and Prejudice but instead of the love interest getting dissed for his toxicity and then reforming, it’s just two people bonding over dissing a dead toxic asshole.

10/10 would recommend
