Lucy's short guide to blood types in Japan

As you may have noticed, Lucy von Fledermaus is a vampire and as a vampire has quite some knowlegde of blood: "In Japan (and some other asian countries) one's blood type is thought to relate to such things as personality and compatibility with others, similar to how astrological signs are regarded in certain other countries. For instance,  type A is thought to be creative,  patient, reserved,  and stubborn. Women's magazines might write about blood type compatibility with a (potential) partner,  and magazines and news papers have blood horoscopes. It's quite uncommon to be unaware of your blood type and profiles for celebraties and even anime and game characters often list the blood type."

Relaxing time! Onsen

Onsen is the Japanese word for hot springs and are great for relaxing in (not washing yourself in!). I sure could use a trip to an onsen right now. Lucky for RatCat I've drawn him one:

Until tomorrow! =^o,,o^=

Ninja

Not much to say about Ninjas really. They're fast, secretive, and they like to wear black.



I'm not sure how fast he is, but he does have a sword so...don't mess with him!

The BFFB* is quite happy with his ninja star. He'd never use it to hurt someone though. He probably wouldn't be a great ninja...

Lucy is ready for some silent ninja action.

Until tomorrow! =(^o,,o^)=

Totoro

Ghibli is responsible for many wondrous anime movies and delights people all over the world. One of Ghibli's most famous creatures is, of course, Totoro! Here's a RatCat version:

Onigiri

Onigiri are rice balls. The classic rice ball shape is actually a triangle-like shape, with a piece of nori (dried seaweed) wrapped around it.

Here we have the RatCat onigiri. I imagine that if you were to try to make an actual RatCat onigiri you could use (vegetarian) ham for the pink in the ears.
Next we have the Fairy Princess Mammoth onigiri, made from brown rice.

Finally, an Evil Space RatCat onigiri. He's not enjoying this at all.

Until tomorrow! =^o,,o^=
