omaewokorosuSo 21 April I'd pre-ordered this Heero plushie (actually two, one for me and one for my wife) because of fucking course I did lmao
26 August Ami Ami announced that Japan Post was suspending parcels to the US because of the tariffs bullshit and this government's way of handling things which was just one gigantic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because the way Customs was supposed to handle things was just one big fucking question mark in regards to, well, everything. So Japan was like, "Nah" so anything going out, say, EMS? Suspended. Japan Post was like "sorry! that's what you get for having this fucking shitty business-stroke-conman as your president! and not having a functioning government!"
I literally cried. This is the 30th anniversary for my favourite anime series. And I know that this was very #firstworldproblems but in the hellscape that is this fucking country we call the (not so) United States, a fucking plushie of my fave character was apparently TOO MUCH TO ASK.
"What does this mean for my fucking pre-orders then???" Because it's not like this was the only thing I'd ordered, I have a (very expensive) three volume box set materials collection coming next year. What's happening with that?? Why can't I have a functional country with a functional government that idk fucking governs instead of having a dick-stroke-pissing contest with each other??
Seeing my friends who don't live in the US of A getting their plushies made me frothing in fucking rage and it wasn't their fault and this wasn't even my fault but I just wanted ONE FUCKING THING. And this fucking Toddler in Chief was more or less denying me it because "oh the USPS doesn't make money!" (it's not supposed to it provides a fucking service as part of the government, it's not supposed to ~turn a profit~ oh my god who do I have to blow to get a fucking administration with experience in politics or at least a fucking Constitutional law or political science degree????)
I RESIGNED MYSELF to living vicariously through Midorikawa fucking Hikaru's TwitterX account yes he has a TwitterX account by the way literally the only reason I visit the dead bird site so I can see pics of my fave seiyuu play with his fucking plushies like they're dolls I don't judge him would you judge him???
On 29 August Ami Ami released a statement stating they would not cancel any orders and they would put them on hold until the time came for them to be able to ship the US orders out. I'm sure there were many a fuckboy who was annoyed that his $1500 order of Tiddy Shoujo Girl Figurines was on hold but idk I guess he can be pissed off about Trump wanting him to be in the cuck corner or something my ire and sadness was SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than some fucko's titty PVC figure of some bunny loli.
I yelled about how unfortunate it was that I wasn't a Canadian citizen and then shortly after the Canadian postal service went on strike and shipments to Canada were delayed and I went I WOULDN'T FUCKING WIN HUH
EXACTLY A MONTH SINCE JAPAN POST TOLD ME TO GO FUCK MYSELF Ami Ami sent an email requesting payment. That once it was confirmed as being paid they would prepare it for shipping. That it might take a month to get to me because of the sheer volume of things that need to go out but them only being able to do so much at one time.
I nearly fucking cried, fam. I was going to be getting my boy soon...! I paid and it was authorised and they said they would prepare it for shipping as soon as they could.
7 NOVEMBER. My package heads for Narita airport. By 10 November it's at LAX where it BREEZED THROUGH CUSTOMS it didn't stay there long which it shouldn't have because I fucking paid for EVERYTHING so this administration can go fuck off somewhere.
17 NOVEMBER it is at the post office for Elmira and it's out for delivery my boy is COMING HOME TO ME it is Okiayu Ryoutarou's birthday clearly this means good things right he voiced His Excellency it's a good fucking day. Our postal carrier typically delivers mail to our house around 13:30ish. Of course today is the day there's SOMEONE ELSE DOING HER ROUTE so he's like two hours later than she always is I literally napped for like an hour because the waiting was killing me and I woke up because THE FRONT DOOR CAM PINGED FOR MOVEMENT
I almost fucking cried LOOK AT HIM he's perfect but ofc he's perfect he's Heero isn't that his schtick or something
fucking look at how SMOL this boy is he fits in my hand
This is where he sits when I'm in my office. He glares at my Blue Yeti mic lmao probably because he's shorter than it.
idk who Heero is side-eyeing here tbh is he side-eyeing Marth behind him or is he side-eyeing his seiyuu who fucking knows
also yes I have a plushie of Heero's seiyuu that was a thing that was released lmao
The juxtaposition of Marth and Heero cracks me up Marth is all :> and Heero is all >|
I AM SO HAPPY HEERO IS HOME I am bringing him with me everywhere I go
