With the surge of covid cases in my region, the city asks for parents to refrain from sending the gremlins to daycare. I am gratefully taking 2 weeks off from work. It's time to take action in those business plans and ArtPark projects.

@crimsonowlkk

I’ve been using the last week of January to slowly but surely to set up my BuJo for February. I’m still not sure what theme I wanted so I may add more in the middle of the month. Are your Bujos ready for February?

@crimsonowlkk

I pride myself for having a memory of a genius 😝 but my god, my attention is that of a goldfish 🐟 I have a project that needs to be done by the end of the day and I am terribly failing at concentrating. Breath in, breath out. How you doin’, friends?

@crimsonowlkk

Good morning only to my ladies on their period today. Period and winter do not go well with each other. Wake up with physical pain as if you have been hit by several cars. I can decide if I wanna be bound down (iykwim), wreak havoc or just be an amoeba. *sigh* Keep cozy, my period friends. Don't choose violence but if needed, I got your back!

@crimsonowlkk

Hello from my side of the world. One thing I love-hate about wintertime is time goes by so slow. I get hyperfocused on one thing and I panic because I thought I have spent so much time but when I look at the clock, only 3 minutes have passed since beginning the task. A real WTF. The slower time is making me feel productive. Am infinitely cold but making the most of it. How y'all doing?

@crimsonowlkk

Here’s your weekend reminder that I’m still here! 🤣🤣 This cutie is taking a long ass time but we push through, right!? Right?! Cheers to a better week next week.

@crimsonowlkk

First official art of the year! Wewewewew that was some months since I was able to draw one. I’m cramming coz deadline is approaching!! Send help. Lelelelelelelel

@crimsonowlkk

GOOD DAY YALL! Winter is still crazy cold but have you heard of the eruption in Tonga? Tsunamis are coming to Japan from there and the emergency alarms are so noisy. How y'all doing?

@crimsonowlkk

My love for Jujutsu Kaisen is almost unhealthy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's so ridiculous that I felt the need to leave work early and watch it on that day of its release. This is a little of a review, a little more of a blabbery, and a lot more fangirling. And I put a little content index so you can choose the part you want to read. (I'm nice like that😉) Read me fangirl on anime pretty bois. Have a read if you find time. https://read.cash/@crimsonowlkk/review-jujutsu-kaisen-0-movie-otaku-rambles-maybe-major-spoiler-5cd73914

[Review] Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie | Otaku Rambles | MAYBE MAJOR SPOILER I wanna preface this article that if you have read Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 0 AND have read some of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga series, there isn't much that will be spoiled to you since the content of the movie is the same as the manga. However, for those who have only watched the anime TV series, there **may or may not** be spoilers for you. Heed the warning. I also won't be posting links for leaks of the movie. That goes against my morals and is against the law, literally. Piracy is a crime. I did try to lessen the spoilers but there are just some points that can't be talked about without spoiling so I made this index for your convenience so you can choose only the part you want to read.

I wasn't expecting myself to be this eager to watch and to be hyped up about the movie. Sure, after watching the anime TV series, I immediately bought Volume 0, which is also where the movie was based, titled *"Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical College"*. The volume was definitely a page-turner and I didn't know I was holding my breath when reading until I finished it. The first thing I thought after reading was that the movie would be super bomb if they really follow the manga. (As you know, many anime movie production staff just go left from the plotlines and end up angering the fans.) That was March and I quite regret reading the volume that early. For 9 months, I was super giddy and couldn't wait to watch the movie. As the days approach December 24, the hype for the movie ballooned and all anime Twitter could talk about was Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie. Collabs are popping left and right and even an adult parody film of JJK was under the works (I know, super random LOL). I also wanna say that JJK promotional staff really did great in promoting JJK 0 movie. The Plot I'm torn between if I should describe the plot they are selling or the plot that I am conceiving. It is not about Yuuta and Rika. No, it definitely is not. Well, if you read the manga, it is about Yuuta and his childhood friend, Rika, who he promised marriage to at a young age and ends up cursing when she dies in an accident. But if you dig deeper and squint harder, there is also Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's story. It's a common understanding between SatoSugu fans that the relationship between these two cannot be contained in the word "special". Their relationship goes beyond their soul. Geto Suguru, also a special grade sorcerer, is Gojo Satoru's best friend and his classmate during their time at the JujuTech. Geto Suguru is a very righteous man and sticks firmly to what he believes is right. That virtue and his current position as someone who exorcises curses to protect humans really tore him apart. He basically went crazy that he ended up murdering a whole village to save 2 curse user twin girls from the villagers who locked those girls in a cell because they are essentially scared of what they are capable of. Because of this, Geto was expelled from JujuTech, is marked as a criminal by the Jujutsu society higher-ups, and must be executed once discovered. Gojo was assigned as Geto's executioner but he was not able to kill him. Perhaps Geto has a point in his reason that is why he wasn't able to execute him. He could easily kill him but he couldn't. This scene is what we SatoSugu fans dub as the "KFC break up" since, in the manga, they did this scene with KFC in the background. 10 years go by and we arrive at the current time of the movie, Gojo becomes the "strongest" sorcerer, and Geto becomes the "worst" curse user. Two best friends of the same caliber but on different paths. Going back to the actual plot, Rika becomes a special grade vengeful curse spirit and harms everyone that hurts Yuuta. Rika is so powerful that Geto, whose curse technique is collecting and consuming curse spirits, wants Rika for himself so he can stop collecting curse spirits here and there. To do this, he waged war with JujuTech saying he and his group of curse users will conduct the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, releasing a huge number of cursed spirits in Shinjuku and Kyoto simultaneously. The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons happens in Shinjuku and Kyoto but Geto comes to JujuTech where Yuuta is since he was not stationed in the stated 2 cities. Geto fights Yuuta to the death so he can finally claim Rika but it ends up with him kicking the bucket. At the end of their fight, Gojo arrived at the scene seeing a wounded Geto. He was finally able to fulfill his duty by executing his *one and only best friend.* Yuuta was able to exorcise Rika's curse but the "curse of Geto", or so I call it, is the fuel that keeps the current manga running (*wink wink). It was a story of the two sides of the same coin. I have realized that internally, Geto and Yuuta are somewhat birds of the same feather. Geto would have been in a different circumstance if he had the same people and influence around him. Although, Gojo wouldn't realize to become a teacher and train a new generation of strong sorcerers without his KFC break up with Geto. My favorite scenes of my favorite characters **Panda** Panda has more spotlight in the movie than he had in the anime TV series. I loved him even more. The scene that I like of him the most, except the fight scenes, was when he was talking about Inumaki to Yuuta. He tried to make Yuuta understand that Inumaki is just misunderstood due to his curse speech technique and that doesn't mean he is not approachable. Before Yuuta fought Geto, Panda was the first to fight him. Just imagine a panda and a monk fighting each other. I'd say that's quite a scene! Also, Panda turns into Gorilla-oniichan but you didn't read that LOL. **Ieiri Shoko** Shoko had just a short scene time in this movie but she conveyed so much emotion compared to the manga. How she despised Geto for the terror he has caused. **Nanami Kento** Nanami appearing in the movie was not unexpected since Gege-sensei, the author has stated that Nanami's blackflash occurred during the Night Parade. But boy, oh boy, the Nanami simps would praise the gods for his very much needed appearance (despite his current state in the manga). His presence was a breath of fresh air and him doing a blackflash, just give me feels I couldn't contain. Personally, I am a full pledge Gojo simp but Nanami is one fine glass of tall water. I'm thirsty and I need a drink. **Getou Suguru** Oookay, so maybe I am not just a Gojo simp. I've always been interested in Geto in the anime series. But he was such a character in the shadows (and let's be honest, Gojo and his glossy lips were taking the spotlight). This movie and the manga made me understand Geto more as a character and I just fall in love. My most favorite scene of him is when he was so ecstatic when fighting with Yuuta saying "What I have always wanted is right before my eyes" (That being creating a world with no non-sorcerers and only sorcerers thriving). His unhinged laugh is so addicting. **Gojou Satoru** Oh boy. How do I keep this short? Without this man, this story isn't even going anywhere. Let's just come to the concession that this man is one of the most, if not the most important character of Jujutsu Kaisen. Aside from his glossy lips throughout the movie, my favorite scene of this is when he was fighting with Miguel. He was worried about Yuuta so he wanted to keep the fight short but Miguel was such a good opponent that he had difficulty keeping him at bay and that pisses him the hell off. This is one of the moments we see Gojo having emotions other than being his goofy, idiot self. SatoSugu scene This is a bonus because I just love Satoru and Suguru almost equally now. I literally skipped a beat when Geto showed up at JujuTech (albeit to wage war) and called out Gojo's name in a sing-song like he didn't disappear for 10 years. In the latter part, I almost sobbed in the theater when Gojo was about to execute Geto. They had a little heart to heart for the last time and there was a flashback of their time as students at JujuTech (which was part of Gojo's Past Arc). It was so hard to hold back my tears but I powered through since I wanna savor every moment of the movie. Two huge animation companies teaming up I stayed until the end as an otaku should and really read through the credits despite my bladder screaming to me for release. As many of you know, MAPPA is the main animation studio for JJK 0 but they had an army of animation studios, big and small in their ranks to create this beautiful masterpiece and let's claim in here now, the best anime movie of 2021. But I was pleasantly surprised that Production I.G was part of the production team. Production I.G is a long-standing, huge animation studio. They are known for Psycho Pass, Ghost in the Shell, Moriarty the Patriot, Kimi ni Todoke, Noblesse, and assisted in Attack on Titan (Wit Studio is under Production I.G), to state a few. My impression of Production I.G was they make good CG animation. Watching JJK 0 movie, I instantly noticed the darker tone in the aesthetic of the movie which reminded me of Attack on Titan. So knowing that Production I.G was part of the production, I was satisfied with it all. Both huge animation studios teaming up for JJK 0 movie gave me a whole new experience than the anime TV series. Inumaki's voice actor, Uchiyama stated that he was pretty impressed with the animation for the anime TV series that he thought "is it really okay to be watching such high-quality animation every week? Shouldn't such quality be poured onto a movie?". He was utterly speechless when he knew that a movie for JJK was in the works. I couldn't agree more but he was very wrong. It's like eating bitter chocolate after eating milk chocolate. It is practically the same but gives you a different experience. I've watched a lot of anime movies on the big screen and this is not from a place of bias but JJK 0 so far has the most detailed fight scenes I have ever watched. What I want to point out is the fight scene they created for the actual Night Parade of a Hundred Demons on Shinjuku and Kyoto which was not drawn in the manga. I'm always bummed when anime series turn into movies, especially action-packed shounen anime when the action scenes of the movie become too less action but more theatrics (I'm looking at you, MHA World Series movie) compared to the smooth transition and detailed action scenes of the anime. When all you can see is the outline or silhouette of the character when they are at a certain distance. Otaku Rambles | My thoughts about the movie Thoughts with the multiple S. I have watched this movie 2 times already. The first time was during opening day. I eagerly left work early just to get that first look at the movie. I have never been excited to watch a movie, more even so watch it on the opening day so it seems like there is really a first time for everybody. When I arrived at the theater, I saw a long waiting line for the merch shop but I didn't bother to line up since my mission that time was to watch the movie. I said to myself that I will not be swayed by overpriced merch. And boy was I so wrong. The moment I exited the theater, the first thing that I saw was the merch shop. It was just calling me so I had a little shopping spree (The books are not from the merch shop.) And the second time is the day I am writing this. At this point, there is a leak of the whole movie and that itched me to watch it all again. When I was listening to a radio program dedicated to JJK 0 movie release, there was a fan that sent a letter saying that within the first 3 days of the release, they have watched JJK 0 9 times already. I was impressed by the dedication and I am jealous they have that so much time. As for my thoughts, there is so much in my head but all that I can manage to say when I first saw the movie was *speechless.* It took me some weeks to calm myself and write this article but even so, I'm still so giddy while typing. First of all, it was just a beautiful movie. Everything was so crisp and so worth it to watch. What I wanted to point out was they gave so much spotlight for Gojo and Geto's "relationship" when that part was in another volume. But still, I am living for it. I am just full of feelings even weeks after the release of this movie. After Naruto and Free!, I have never loved a story and bought so much merch as much as I did with JJK. Husbando even got me figures of Nanami and Gojo from the UFO catcher. Gojo as a character is like a pandora's box. We still have a lot of digging to do to get to know this man and I am *patiently* waiting for him to be released from the box he is currently on. As I said, he is one of the most, if not the most, important characters in this story and is the key character for the story to move forward. Also, Yuuta is back in the manga and it is interesting to see how he will perform with his kouhai, Yuuji. In other news, licensure for international release is undergoing. Hong Kong is expecting to release JJK within this year with South Korea and North America are releasing the movie in February 2022. I am very excited for the rest of the world to follow and understand the excitement I am feeling right now. This movie is about *Love and Curses.* For Yuuta and Rika. For Satoru and Suguru. And with that, I'm going to end this article with Gojo-sensei's most iconic line. Credits Images with watermarks are from Jujutsu Kaisen Anime Official Twitter. The rest of the images are mine. Merch are also purchased with my own money. https://twitter.com/animejujutsu?s=20 !!WARNING!! Piracy is a crime. Do not watch leaks of the movie and only watch it when it is available to you.

I couldn’t help myself so I watched JJK 0 movie again. Watching it the second time doesn’t lose its charm. In fact, I love it even more. However, compared to the first time when I think everything was sorta in slow motion because I wanna consume it every frame of the movie, this time it was in a speed that I would watch a normal movie. I just love this movie and if it shows in your area soon enough, please please, watch it.

@crimsonowlkk

This is my Bujo for the year. It’s the Torii A5 notebook from Notebook Therapy. It has 160 pages so hopefully I can finish this for this year, at least.

@crimsonowlkk

Crimsonowl’s 2021 Art Summary and #artgoal2022 2021 was overall good to me, art wise. Although I wasn’t able to create so much in the latter part, I have noticed that my drawing time has reduced but the brainstorming time was still the same. I have known early on that color palettes and composition were ones that I wanted to improve and last year, I had fun playing with colors. It really treated my habit of picking red first and foremost. My #artgoal2022 for this year is to expose myself to the creative prompts around me and push myself to draw things I essentially haven’t drawn before. This is so I can down my brainstorming time and produce more art since I decided to push a huge creative endeavor/art related business this year. Again, thank you for being with us on ArtPark and making me draw my ass off. 😜 PS: No you did not see that 2 panel gojo isekai art. #ArtParkWeekly

@crimsonowlkk

I married the best man in the world. Despite him being less of a JJK fan (because I fangirl all the time), he really made an effort to get me Gojo’s and Nanami’s figures in the UFO catcher. He got Gojo easily while it took him some time to get Nanami. He spent around $20 and I’d say that isn’t so bad at all. After coming home and opening the box, he was laughing his ass off cause I was soooo careful in opening the box and I was in full otaku mode. Can’t blame him, once an otaku, always an otaku.

SNOW ❄️ Enjoying this now before the whole town will be pissed by the snow freezing and slipping people and cars off. I just hope the trains don’t stop 🤞🏻

@crimsonowlkk

It's freezing cold and snow is falling here and there. Can someone please turn it off? Keep warm everyone.

@crimsonowlkk

So, work started today and instead of starting work for this year with a renewed energy, I was slapped with the reality that my current work is not the work that I really wanted to do but regardless, I am grateful to have this work despite the situation of the world today. However, since the new year turned over, something has been screaming within me to chase the rainbow for my own pot of gold. And I, being a Libra, am torn if I should fuck it and quit my job so I can focus on the career I wanna do or keep my job and be emotionally stressed every day as I balance between work-home-personal goals.

@crimsonowlkk

Happy New Year, read.cash community! May this year be full of opportunities for us all and a year of more creative content. Thank you @Meyzee and @Greatwolfman for renewing the sponsorship. It seems like you have sensed that I will be making an article in a lil bit. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

@crimsonowlkk

Happy New Year, paper and pen friends! I am a little late in setting up my Bujo but I am taking the 3 days off from work so I can slowly finish it. My word for the year this year is “Progress”. It’s a little push so my “one day” can turn into “day one”. Do you have a word of the year?

@crimsonowlkk

A half face reveal you didn’t need but, Still an #otaku on ‘22.

@crimsonowlkk

Happy New Year, ArtPark and Noise community! 2021 was the birth of ArtPark and without you all, we wouldn't be where we are today. Thank you for being the fuel that moves ArtPark and helping us, helping me, turn it into a community growing day by day in this platform; a community inspiring each other to create. The year's changed but our core mission is still the same: ★To highlight quality and original artworks in this spammer saturated platform. ★Give space for artists to inspire and be inspired to create, and to shine on this platform And this year, we try to delve deep into the CryptoArt realm. We want to officially announce that we are renaming to "ArtPark CryptoArt Community". NFT is a progressing phenomenon especially in the BCH community and we want to be part of such a movement. I personally believe that NFT is a huge opportunity for artists of this community. What will happen to ArtPark Weekly? ArtPark Weekly will continue and will evolve as we introduce more engaging art activities. We grow bigger, better together. We look forward to more artful fun with you this year. @crimsonowl, co-founder, ArtPark CryptoArt Community #newartyear #ArtParkWeekly

This mini calendar is so cute! They are amazing despite me making them for the first time 😛 If no one pats your back, pat them yourself! My husbando is also amazed. I can feel it. 2022 will be a great year.

@crimsonowlkk

Good day, paper and pen friends! 2022 is right around the corner! Are your Bujos and planners and journals ready? I'm in the slow process of making mine. Anyway, I wanna share this mini calendar I made for myself last night that I will be using for the future log of my Bujo. It's a practice product I am making and boy, how it isn't easy to design even simple stuff like this. I will be printing this on sticker paper and cut it each month in a box. Feel free to download and use it, however, you want. The size is A5 and starts on a Monday. Let me know if you want a Sunday starter. Maybe I can whip something out. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zIBf5UWOPCxAwh0riqdGHWQqv9gNBjOx/view?usp=sharing

I'm now listening to All Night Nippon Gold radio's 2 hour special on Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie. And Hanazawa Kana, Rika Orimoto's voice actor, is so cute and gets too excited every now and then. I feel like she just represented the whole JJK fans in the recording booth.

@crimsonowlkk

Mini-mini-tinnie-tiny story time (Normal) Dinner with the family We have marinated pork chops and wakame miso soup. Husbando and I were talking about everything under the sun and the topic went to "wakame" Husbando in jp dub: you know, "wakame" is good for hair growth Me: yea! And so is "hijiki" Husbando: well, if you think about it all water leaves are Me: *confused* Me: you mean, "seaweed" right?! I almost died laughing I couldn’t breathe!! Way baaaack before we got married he mistakenly called rice dispenser as…. "Rice Defencer" Here’s the art I made for him. By the way, Wakame and Hijiki are both seaweeds.

@crimsonowlkk

I’m still on a JJK brain rot. Leaving work early to watch JJK 0 on opening day was all worth it. All I can say is Yuuta ain’t even the MC in this movie. To be honest, it’s SatoSugu, no, SadoSugu 🤣. The story is JJK Vol 0 with a hefty amount of Gojo’s Past Arc. The fight scenes that weren’t on the manga were well created 🤌🏻. The KFC break up 🤌🏻 Suguru’s menace but cute face 🤌🏻 Satoru’s pissed and goofy face 🤌🏻 Evidently, Satoru’s glossy lips has the biggest cut in the budget 🤌🏻 All glossy and shiny for the 1 hour and 45 minutes. The light novel for the movie hurts even more than the movie. I’m not crying, you are. #jujutsukaisen #呪術廻戦 #呪術廻戦0 #jjk #jjk0 #呪い合おうじゃないか

@crimsonowlkk

2 days after the release of JJK 0 movie, clips of the movie and spoilers are already infesting the internet. I am utterly shocked and disappointed by the disrespect. Saying "MAPPA will make a shit ton of shit out of it anyway" is nonsense. Japan is pretty tight in its laws against piracy and that is why anime movies are very difficult or take months or years to release overseas. I understand the urge to watch these clips but please report them and do not share them because filming a movie in the theater AND watching the said clip is against the law. It also says how untrustworthy overseas fans are for this kind of action. If ever you watch pirated anime series, manga and movies, have the decency to support the creator and production staff through buying merch or what. #NoToAnimePiracy #NotoPiracy #anime #jjk #jujutsukaisen

@crimsonowlkk

You know the secret behind the next level animation shit of JJK 0 movie? They got Production IG in their ranks. And if you didn’t know, they were THE animation studio for quite a while. Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, AOT and Kuroko no Basket was some of their works. #jjk #anime #jujutsukaisen
