Is by Meimi, that wonderful Goddess who brings joy and happiness to the hearts of Ingrids.
This time, Meimi brought joy by doing a layout of Isumi Shinichirou and Waya Yoshitaka, of Hikaru no Go. It is full of wub.

"Bart . . . I dare you to be quiet for five minutes, starting riiiight . . . now." "Five minutes in a row?" - Robin and Impulse, Young Justice.
I have a lot of things I'd like to grumble about, but looking at them in my head, I realize I don't even want to vocalize a lot of the more serious ones, and it's not even because people I know sometimes read this, but just because when you write something down or say it outloud, it becomes a lot more real than when it's just in your head.
So instead I'll say - I'm really getting fucking tired of being mistaken for a fourteen-year-old. When I'm on the street, I get it, I'm wearing a baseball cap, I'm sort of scruffily dressed in too-big clothing, then, even if I'm not happy about it, I can excuse it. But when I'm at work? Being told you look too young to work at a place that hires sixteen-year-olds? That -burns-, man.
I asked Jenn, and she said it's because of my hair.
For a brief, tired instant was -this- close to hacking it all off as close to the scalp as humanly possible.
Just . . . dammit! So not fair! Guys who look younger can grow beards and shit to make themselves look older, but Jenn told me the only way I could get people to think I'm twenty would be if I got a sensible, short haircut.
Duuuuuuuuuuude. That bites. I'm going to look like a frickin' teenager until I go grey.
So very, very bitter, Almighty Ingrid, Signing Off
Don't worry, old age will creep up on you soon enough. The world will wear you down, and you'll look ancient in due time. Til then, enjoy the ability to confuse people, and who cares what assessment people have of your age? Be amused.
And sometimes writing things down will make them more real...but that's not a bad thing. Helps you come to terms with it. "See it in the light of day", as it were.
