Atlus, the studio behind of #ShinMegamiTensei #Persona , is conducting a survey that is not accessible for European users due to privacy issues. Interesting.
Rewriting my intro post in honor of being on blorbo for a year now 
(and making better use of 3000 chara limit this time lol)
Hello, I'm Micah! I'm queer and go by he/they.
I'm big into k-pop, j-pop, j-rock, and v-kei, though I post about k-pop the most. Some groups I like: SHINee, EXO, BTS, XLOV, ILLIT, RESCENE, Perfume, Reol, f5ve, most old Hello Project groups (MiniMoni, W, ºC-ute, Berryz Koubou, etc), 0.1g no gosan, ARLEQUIN, and UNiTE.
I love visual novels, especially otome games! One day I will come back to Cupid Parasite...
Currently playing through the Ace Attorney and Project Diva series. I want to pick Persona 5 Royal (and Persona 3 Reload) back up eventually,,, My other favorite games are Rhythm Heaven, DDR, Danganronpa, and Splatoon! Also very fond of the PS Vita and 3DS era and won't shut up about it.
I collect manga! Mostly my favorites Black Butler and Sailor Moon, but also Ima Koi, Kamisama Kiss, and a few other series I got volumes of from a friend. Perhaps Fangs and Death Note in the future...
My favorite anime are also Black Butler and Sailor Moon, along with Death Parade, Love Live, and Yuri on Ice.
I very casually collect k-pop albums/merch. I have most of BTS' Korean discography, a few SHINee albums, a Jonghyun album, and a Minho poster. Eventually I want to get lightsticks for both groups and more SHINee members' solo albums.
Also got hit with the yaoi beam so my interest in that is back in full force along with everything else. But tbh did it ever really go away?
I have a personal site now with my fanfics! Will do a write up about the Project Diva games on there eventually.
Rilancio un mio "vecchio" articolo:

“Ready or not, age verification is rolling out across the #Internet”
“It’s just a taste of the issues that many other countries might face as they launch their own systems, and it’s a situation that privacy and security experts have long warned about — to little avail.
Following a yearslong political push to make the internet safer for kids, age #verification has started seeping into online spaces across the globe. Lawmakers in the #USA, #Europe, #Australia, and elsewhere have all passed #AgeGating #rules, and platforms have begun to comply.
The likely methods for verification are similar to those in the UK. #Platforms typically ask users to either enter a #PaymentCard, upload a #GovernmenIssuedID, take a selfie, or allow a platform to use their #data (like account #CreationDates and #UserConnections) to “estimate” their age. Most rely on #ThirdParty services: #Bluesky uses the #EpicGames-owned Kids Web Services; #Reddit is working with #Persona; and #Discord has partnered with #kID.”

Properly called it welcome~
Having finished Persona 4 earlier this month, I thought to try my hand at drawing one or more of the personas from the game. Konohana Sakuya, Yukiko's base persona, was suggested.
So here she is!
Definitely one of the more striking of the character-specific personas in the game, but also (I quickly realised), one of the hardest to draw right, thanks to her rather unique 'shawl' of metal(?) sakura petals. Seriously.
