I did take a pretty long leave of absence from my blog this year. But, I really want to make up for it with this final push to get it out to 2022 before 2021. But, there are more important things I should be doing with my time. Well, relatively. I need to make more USTs and stuff. Like, it makes no difference if the article going live in 2022 was written in 2020 or 2021... but I just feel the need to set seemingly impossible goals and then crush them and feel special.
Forgotten Friday #137 - 黒丑ミキ / Kuroushi Miki
Who is Miki Kuroushi?

Wait. She's a cow. By which I mean, while all y'all drooling over nekomimi, this ushimimi is laying down the law. She has horns and a cow tail, and she likes small trinkets that have cow patterns on them.
I sure do know about cows! I think I previously mentioned that a cow somehow hopped a fence and got into our yard. I just stared at it for a while and watched it just aimlessly wander around. It left eventually without any help that I know of.
But I really noticed the tail. It was covered in hair, but it was slender like a rat's tail aside from the swatting brush at the end of it.
Some people draw unicorns with that tail, and it never made sense to me. In searching, I found out that some equids do have a tail similar to that. But, the unicorn tails I'm thinking of are absolutely bovid in nature. The dock is way too long!
Miki is sixteen years old. She is chronically sleep deprived. Her color scheme is mostly black and purple. Her horns are tawny and her hair is brown. Her eyes are purple. Her ninja headband, stockings, and the giant bow on her back are black. I believe her purple dress is meant to be based on traditional Japanese clothing, but there's… maybe fishnet on her chest?
I love purple. I love this purple. The color scheme is harmonious.
She uses different Japanese weapons to attack people. Like, she's not just dressing like a ninja. She is actively a ninja doing ninja things. This feels like a Wikipedia segue!
There are modern day ninjas. Well, there are people who are enrolled in University to become ninjas and study them. They can't go around and spy on people like it's Feudal Japan.
Ninjas really died out in the Edo Period, which ended in 1868. They were mostly hired as spies or body guards, because there just wasn't much war going on to be fighting in.
Well, I went on two digressions and still didn't even get close to six hundred words. I mean, the personality is ninja. No one ever mentions the fact that she is a bovid girl.
I never watched Naruto. I'm not entirely sure why. I guess I wasn't interested? The first anime I watched all the way through was Full Moon wo Sagashite. I started Death Note around the same time and had to give up after those two new kids showed up.
I loved Full Moon wo Sagashite so much. I want to make USTs that are really well tuned for the songs in the show. I actually got the OST for my birthday years and years ago.
It being all cute and having such nice music is what made me like it so much. I was a really bad weeaboo, though. I preferred live action Japanese movies to anime. Though, I am still legitimately messed up over Tokyo Sonata. Like, I'm not going to spoil the movie because it's a really good movie, but it will mess you up because it's sad.
