Tashiro-jima (or Tashirojima), 田代島, is a small island in Japan. It has become known as “Cat Island” due to the large stray cat population that thrives as a result of the local belief that feeding cats will bring wealth and good fortune. The cat population is now larger than the human population on the island.

There is a small cat shrine Neko-jinja (猫神社^?) in the middle of the island, roughly situated between the two villages. In the past, the islanders raised silkworms for silk, and cats were kept in order to keep the mouse population down (because mice are a natural predator of silkworms). Fixed-net fishing was popular on the island after the Edo Period and fishermen from other areas would come and stay on the island overnight. The cats would go to the inns where the fishermen were staying and beg for scraps. Over time, the fishermen developed a fondness for the cats and would observe the cats closely, interpreting their actions as predictions of the weather and fish patterns. One day, when the fishermen were collecting rocks to use with the fixed-nets, a stray rock fell and killed one of the cats. The fishermen, feeling sorry for the loss of the cat, buried it and enshrined it at this location on the island.

There are at least ten cat shrines in Miyagi Prefecture. There are also 51 stone monuments in the shape of cats.

I wonder if the housing market is open. :3

A list-o request pics that I did for a friend.

Coulda submitted these about a week ago, but I wasn’t sure if he wanted them to be private in the mean time.

flutterpenn:

See this? This is Yelling at Cats coming into mixi’s livestream and being a dick to everybody. Just because he can. Yeah, he is obviously the victim.

He seriously needs to grow up…

jitterbugjive:

I’ll be at 317 at Bronycon, selling prints and buttons and possibly a few other things.

Things to expect to find:

-Discord Whooves (This includes the Master)

-Lovestruck Derpy

-Crapplejack

-General Pony Stuff

Nothing sold at the table will be over PG in content rating. I might do some sketchbook commissions at the table, but that depends on how busy things get.

Side notes:

I’ll be perfectly happy signing stuff if people ask.

I don’t mind photos and hugs as long as they don’t interfere with the table.

I’m okay with maybe the occasional voice request since I do the Derpy voice, but please don’t overdo it, I’d like to keep it short so I don’t get worn out.

I have 3 other people helping me at the table, so I might not be there at all times since I might also be in a panel (I’m a part of 4 different panels)

Panels you will find me:

Grimdark: Ponies and Horror, Comics 101, Doctor Whooves and Assistant, and a Character Psychology panel (Not sure what the name is right now)

Regarding gifts:

I am aware some people might want to give me gifts at the table as well, such as fan art or pony merch, which I am perfectly happy to accept.

Hint: My 3 favorite ponies are Twilight Sparkle, Doctor Whooves, and Derpy. I collect Twilight Sparkle the most, though.

I’ll offer 2$ off if you bring me a Twilight Sparkle blindbag (Limit one discount, but you’re welcome to throw multiples at me so I might commence a ton of squealing and love)

See you all at Bronycon!

Can’t wait to see you there, Jitters!

You too, Jay!

You ever just have that one insult that sort of singles out all the compliments you ever get

wow all the time

And then there’s those people that don’t understand this.

“You get 300 compliments a day, and have 15,000…

All the fucking time.

fyeah-i-like-dat:

I just died.

What a fucking champ.

lil-mizz-jaye:

I’d feel really bad for someone who’s las name is Gustav.

They wouldn’t get a second half of their pony name because the dope who made this forgot how to alphabet.

Also I’m either Sweetie Fashion or Sweetie Garden.

Depending on if you go with “Van” or “Esbroek”

If you go with both, I’m Sweetie Fashion Garden.

“Beautiful Princess”.

…

No Me Gusta.

Made this pic of my friend’s OC as a request and such. Not really good at drawing guns or glowy magic, sadly. :C Still, hope he likes it~

Also, this is supposed to be based on the fic, “Fallout: Equestria”. Was a good read, although I only got to chapter 12 or so.

I have a LOT of drawing I’m gonna post once I finally get to finishing them (I’m lazy), so look forward to that, I suppose. :)

So, how does this one fair? :D

Also on my deviantArt!
