And just ‘cause I’m feeling awesome, here are the invites I’ve made for previous Conan parties. Then I got lazy. But I’ll fix that for the next one in… November? December? What do we have planned, Krista?

Detective Conan Drawing Challenge Day 15:

Genderbend a character or two

“It’s like I’ve gotten a cute little sister! Say, Christie-chan, do you ‘like’ anyone at your school?”

Christie could hear the emphasis on the word ‘like’.

“No, not really.” The bespectacled girl paused before turning to look at the high school student. “Ren-niichan, do you?”

Ren Mouri grinned. “Yup!”

Huh. So her best friend could keep some secrets from her after all. Mayumi Kudo, turned into six-year-old Christie Doyle, searched her brain trying to figure out who her childhood friend had a crush on but to no avail. A thought then crossed her mind.

“It wouldn’t happen to be that Mayumi girl you were looking for, is it?”

Ren bent down to ruffle the little girl’s hair. “Yup!”

‘Oh, —-wait. What?’ Christie brushed her hair back into place with a hand as the realization of the statement hit her.

Ren, Mayumi’s best friend that she had had a crush on since grade school, was admitting he had a crush on her. Well, not the current her, but the real her.

“Ah, Christie-chan. You’re blushing! Silly.”

—-

Shin’ichi Kudo -> Mayumi Kudo

  • Searched for a female name that has something to do with “truth” and ended up with Mayumi. 🙂

Conan Edogawa -> Christie Doyle

  • Well, I needed a female merge together of two mystery writer names. ^^; This time we’re using Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Ran Mouri -> Ren Mouri

  • “Ren” can be written using a kanji that means “lotus”, to keep with the idea of Ran’s name being a flower. (Ran meaning “orchid”.)

Kaito Kuroba -> Manami Kuroba

  • Kaito’s name contains a kanji that can be read as “ocean”, so I grabbed a female name containing “ocean” as well.

THE PIGTAILS YESSSS <3

You’re Gonna Make It After All~: DCW’s Detective Conan World Podcast: Episode 29

CarpetCrawler asked me to post this. It’s from the EPIC FANFIC. 

NOOOOO, HAKUBAAAAA I LOOOVE YOOOUUUUUUU~~“ don’t die plz

HOUSTON! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!

Volume 43 has been set to come out on July 10th for months!! Based on the previous release schedule, if we all came out and bought like we did for volume 39, 40, and 41 we had a good chance of it appearing on the NY Times Bestseller manga list.

But now, a certain shojo title from Kodansha’s release date has been moved from the 3rd to the 10th making it increasingly difficult for Case Closed to compete.

We were already set to compete against Naruto volume 57 that week, but another popular manga will push down the chance of Case Closed making the top 10 list.

So my plea, Case Closed, Detective Conan fans, is that we all buy volume 43 the first week it comes out.

We need to continually show VIZ there is a high interest in the series.

Gosho Aoyama, just earlier this week, declared that it is highly likely Detective Conan will go past the 100 volume mark.

We won’t see them if it is not profitable for VIZ to release them.

So please guys, buy Case Closed Volume 43 between July 10th and 14th.

Rightstuf.com has this for $7.49 + shipping/handling (economy is only $3), just FYI.

Detective Conan’s Shinichi and Kaito bedsheets unveiled – ANN

ANIMATE notes that the illustration of Shinichi — before he was shrunk to kid-size — will be in his school uniform “looking somewhat abashed as he loosens his necktie and holds out his left arm for you.” Meanwhile, the Kaitō Kid version has the phantom thief “offering a gentle embrace like a gentleman, as if to say ‘come over here.’”

To be honest I’m actually more weirded out than anything else by these. Yeah, nice pics, but I’m not the kind of fan to go for dakimakuras or character bedsheets, so I shall happily keep the $130 in my pocket…

…To pay for the annual movie blurays and Japanese and English manga volumes. :D;

to be perfectly honest… aside from being a little creeped out, I’m not really sure how to feel about this

Yeah, I’m the same actually. I was talking about this with Icka and we both agreed, they would be nice for display in a room dedicated to a Kaitou Kid or Shinichi collection, but actually sleeping on it? Eh…

The fact that this is official merchandise really freaks me out. I mean, it’s Japan and I guess that makes sense and all, but I’ve never seen Shinichi (nor Kaito, despite all of his pervert talk) as terribly *sexual* characters… while in character officially and all. So this is… This is something I would expect to see from FANS but never the real thing. :D; What the.

Kid!Arpakasso & Conan being exquisite. xD;;; asndksjdhks (shootme,I’moverusingthatword.) 

Thanks to gabapple and Shineko for the inspiration, and thanks to those who came by to watch my LS~ <33

<3 <3 <3 saving this to my harddrive – FOREVER

kyunyo:

I’m like 30+ minutes late for the day, but I’ll make allowances since it was the technical difficulties that pushed me back from finishing (ex. making sure each piece matches, etc.) OTL. 

I want to thank yky, Kiseki, and two others (who didn’t say anything haha. xD;; ) for staying to watch even for a while. I’m sorry that the livestream was a bore, OTL. 

Anyways, this is a repeatable pattern, meaning that if you set it on tile, it’ll be pop up nicely. 8’D It is a gift to you all who follow me/ like my work/ etc. So yup~ Feel free to use it~ C: 

OMG they’re all so perfect and tiny ;_; <3 how do you do it?!
