Lie in your diary about attending an event when in reality you stayed in

#a while ago i was going to ramble about this but then i got embarrassed and changed my mind. but now i've changed it again ramble time #“girl who was reading your diary” i think i can answer this maybe #i legitimately think heian period nikki are better likened to modern day social media than what we know as a “diary”#diaries are things you write to keep track of your own thoughts/daily life & mainly you just keep them to yourself.#you don't show anyone your diary really #but nikki were often written with the express purpose of showing them to people.#like you didn't think they would be Popular but you definitely sent them around to your friends & inner circle and stuff #i'm not the most informed on murasaki shikibu nikki so maybe her case is different #but most likely she knew and was intentionally showing people her diary #so her lying was basically a year 1000 version of instagram vs reality fhdhfgdhf #she was probably trying to look good to her peers #that's what i suspect anyway - i am not an expert at all!

i want to study him under a microscope

#the caption. that really is the best way to describe him.#flayon really makes me feel some kind of way #like he's so genuinely unbelievably adorable. so earnest and sweet yet such a chaotic shithead.#& it's very special how he shrivels up and dies upon receiving a single compliment #However #whenever i see clips of him he's always got on the like cat ears and cat collar and maid dress png assets and.#you furry femboy bastard he needs to be thrown across the room like a football #me talking like i'm a real hololive fan who watches streams and not just clips every so often

NOO DONT TURN ME INTO A MARKETABLE PLUSHIE

I decided to make a plush of dean! The most player of all time in hardcore

It's my first time making a plush, and it's also my first time doing embroidery and I fucked up a lot, but it oka :). Fyi I watched HC for the first time in July 2022 🫣 holy moly, 10 years after #1.

The free pattern is from まろまゆ and their tutorial on how to make the plush was great

There's a ton of mistakes I made, like the fabric being stretchy 😱and not really knowing how everything would look in the end (like the positions and proportions).

I'm also aware that it doesn't *really* read as dean but I wanted to make him animu. Maybe I'll redo it some day...?

Despite it all he turned out more or less how i wanted. I'm loving the idea of having a tiny Hana Mizuno too, but I have school and my free time will probably completely disappear very soon lol

He will be resting comfortably next to Garfield on my shelf :3

#AMAZING HC CONTENT?? IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2023?????#this literally looks professionally made #i think it reads exactly like dean #how on EARTH is this your first time making a plush?????? i mean i know nothing about making plush but this is amazing #dean would love this if he saw it #i understand not wanting to interact with gamers directly.......it's better to observe them from afar like zoo animals fhdhfhdhf #however i feel like he'd be delighted to see this #absolute legend

Happy one-year anniversary of the day McJones broke my heart.

#FIVE YEARS #it absolutely doesn't feel like it's been that long #the show is dead the fandom is dead everything has faded away but I could not be happier and more alive #the future is so bright and so exciting #big things on the horizon. and certainly big mistakes too because our dear gamers can't do anything right #but godspeed out there. don't be stupid. make good choices.#i will never leave this fandom behind because gamers are forever #-v-

THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH

#these are the kinds of things i like hearing about #i want to be a skilled enough translator to make decisions like this someday #i don't know why it needs this new term transcreation though #part of translation IS doing stuff like this #you have to keep in mind the sense of what's being said and how it's going to come off in the target language #anyway: cool translation stuff dhfhdhfhd

the tale of genji as memes (part 1)

#genjiposting continues #when your mom dies so you develop a freudian oedipal complex for your step mother but then you can't have her so #you develop a complex for your complex by kidnapping a ten year old girl

Chapter 12: Suma

In which Genji exiles himself cuz his life is getting a little hectic.

After he has been caught in bed with the woman who was meant to be wedded to the Emperor, everyone is a little miffed at Genji. He decides to go live in the Suma coast for a while and let his reputation simmer down. He considers bringing Murasaki, but decides instead to leave all his ladies behind. He spends days writing sad letters to all his ladies and saying goodbye to everyone. He hangs out at his dead wife’s mansion (there’s other people living there, don’t worry) in Sanjo, and drinks with To no Chujo. Afterwards, he sleeps with one of his late wife’s serving ladies, Chunagon. nice.

He goes home to Murasaki and fills her with some bullshit about where he had been for the past few nights. Apparently, Murasaki’s father now knows where she has been all this time, but he refuses to see her cuz her husband’s skank status is particularly high right now. One page later, Genji goes to sleep with the old concubine of his father’s and her younger sister, again. Even though Genji is a shitty person, Murasaki now has no one else who even really talks to her other than her servants, so she’s developing a lovely stockholm syndrome at this point.

Finally, after getting all his sexy affairs in order and making sure everyone is sad about his departure, he takes some poetry books and heads out to Suma. He spends alot of time in his exile sending poetry to all the women he left behind. I have to give him credit for attempting to keep up with all these ladies…His retainers comment on how sad and thin Genji is getting. However, this makes him even more beautiful and perfect than he already was, and thus his servants don’t even want to go visit their families.

anyway, 7 emo poems later, To no Chujo decides he can’t go on any longer without visiting Genji so he pays him a visit. Unfortunately, still no gay sex occurs.

A ridiculous storm happens and Genji has a dream about the king of the sea, who is known to be partial to handsome men. He tells Genji to leave exile, so he does. It has been one year.

#AUGHHH FHDHFHDHHF #I'M SO SAD THIS BLOG HAS BEEN INACTIVE SINCE 2020 THIS IS SO FUNNY #i have become a true scholar of japanese i am genjiposting on tumblr dot com
