Genshin Impact Kaveh Animatic

So, I have finally finished my Kaveh animatic. It took me a whole year to finally post it because I'm a busy uni student now.

It covers my thoughts and ideas on Kaveh's backstory, hence I hope you'll enjoy it.(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

[o-dobro]

Ok-ok. So it took me really sooo long this time, because high school. Yes.

But anyways, here is my new animatic on our lovely fandom Just One Wish by Kio-kio.

Please enjoy.

Last year was so difficult: I struggled with exams and projects, and then, my laptop died, so I couldn't draw. But. I finally managed to finish this art. Woah.

P.s: Do you also see this pattern of characters in my drawings getting closer and closer to each other?

New chapter? New meme.

A very big point that more than 90% of fandom are clearly ignoring about ONS 114 is this part

Krul: Would you want to live forever so badly... That you'd be willing to sacrifice your family?

Mika: No

Then our goal is the same.

According to what Guren said because Mika is NOT a human and his resurrection price is the same as the resurrection of whole the world which includes Akane and the others too, Mika's family. The kids weren't just Yuu's family no, they were Mika's family too, they were his precious important little family, that family Mika was always blaming himself for their death, so now according to Guren if they will resurrect Mikaela who is NOT a human (better to say Shikama's son who is most probably NOT the same guy as OUR Mika) they need to let FAMILY go and also as Mika is NOT a human AGAIN, I emphasis this, there is a very very VERY big possiblility according to the hint Krul gave us this chapter about living forever, Mika after resurrection is IMMORTAL and can't die and so does Mika wants this? To live forever so badly... That he'd be willing to sacrifice his family? Ofc no. He clearly said that loud and sound. That's why he didn't hestinate to choose his family over himself after that

And so I wonder what the fandom wants Mika to be?? A monster who gives up on his family to can most probably live forever? You see? That's the point.

Regarding Kiun’s character in chapter 75

Well, I was re-reading Noragami a while back because I was bored and found a bit I always thought was a little weird in regards to the translations. This was when Yukine stung Yato because Nora had kissed him, and Takemikazuchi sends Kiun to go give him a ‘talk’. I went ahead and found the raws, and found out that the context was heavily changed in regards to Kiun as a character, specifically his love affairs (lol) so I thought I’d make a post to elaborate (also because it’s interesting). 

So, here is where I think the translations started diverging from the original context. Takemikazuchi uses questions and open ended suggestions: “You’re the romantic expert, right?”, “I’m sure you’ve made plenty of women cry” 

This makes the readers believe that this is merely based on Take’s assumptions and not actually how Kiun behaves. With the way the panels and the expressions were flowing, I thought it was a little weird that Kiun would be this surprised over open ended suggestions like this, so I checked the raws: 

What this bit says is actually “You’re the expert on ‘色恋’ (erokoi), aren’t you?”. While 色恋 can be used to refer to love affairs, it’s typically used on sexual affairs without romantic connotations. Takemikazuchi then says, “And I want you to tell Yukine just to what extent you made all those women cry.” (Mandarin translations also says the same thing). Essentially, there is a really huge difference between “I’m sure you made women cry” and “You definitely made all those women cry.” because the next bit is the part where it sets a completely different tone on Kiun’s character: 

Now taking the previous English translations, you would be inclined to think that Kiun probably made all the women cry because he rejected them. However, Yato’s dialogue about shinkis fooling around and Hiyori’s flustered reaction would make no sense, because Take should be suggesting otherwise. If Kiun was so uptight and aloof and does not play around, why would Yato say something like this in response? Below are raws and translation:

It actually goes something like: “The list of women Kiun has abandoned just goes on and on and on. I’ve gotten quite sick of having to sit and listen to them complain and complain until they were satisfied so that their emotions wouldn’t affect me.” Again, the mandarin translations also leans towards this sense of certainty too. 

This would imply the complete opposite of what the english version was suggesting, as it is possibly and most likely canon that Kiun does in fact sleep around, and Takemikazuchi is just confirming the fact and elaborating it, leading to Yato’s and Hiyori’s reactions that makes more sense now. 

BUT, the next part where Kiun talks to Yukine also kind of confused me, but I think it does give clarity to my previous suggestion that he probably isn’t as uptight as we thought he was: 

The translations are correct here. I think the reason he was saying “I don’t exist for my own enjoyment anymore” was probably because he viewed romance and courting to be something self indulgent, while sleeping around without romantic/emotional attachment is probably just … stress relieving? a biological need? Or whatever else he considers it as… it’s definitely not something he believes to be ‘enjoyment’. (Truly an ancient mindset). 

Also, note that Kiun uses the word 恋人 (koibito), which translates specifically to lovers, a word you use with romantic connotations. He’s telling the truth here, he doesn’t have lovers. And the next bit, he says:

When Yukine says “Aren’t you super old? I’m only 1 year old as a Shinki”, He switches to 色恋 (erokoi, aka sexual affairs) once again when explaining that ‘love affairs are all the same’ to Yukine about his encounter with Nora back in chapter 74. As we know, Yukine is flustered and confused by what Nora did to him, not exactly because he has a ‘crush’ like Yato has said. This is why Take told Kiun to give him the talk, and pretty much confirms that Kiun differentiates between romantic affairs and sexual affairs and does probably, ‘fool’ around’ when he’s not busy dozing off or running errands.

Again, his next line “People are ruined by love more than I imagined” or simply “People truly can’t control themselves when they fall in love” would make more sense in this case. He probably thinks that being in a romantic relationship would hinder his ability to work, and probably in turn affect Takemikazuchi too (and little does he know the consequences of his actions that is women crying and affecting Take anyway lol). 

Anyway, that’s about all I wanted to say, I can’t believe I really made such a long post to prove that Kiun sleeps around LMAO. I thought it was pretty interesting and saw that no one made a post about it, so here. 

Ps. I definitely do think that this isn’t out of character for him considering the things he has said in the omakes, despite them being played off as jokes:

Storm Bringer Spoilers (3)

Another small excerpt from CODE;04, a.k.a how to make Dazai fight with all his might lol He is so cute here btw. 

This is when Verlaine’s final form was released and Dazai called Mori asking him to flee.

(Sorry because I keep translating parts with Dazai. Chuuya is amazing in this novel and I cannot even choose my favorite part. But honestly when it comes to translation, I find myself most motivated to do scenes with Dazai so I am gonna prioritize that. )

Keep reading

(opens door) Hey guys, welcome back to my channel blog.

I have quite a lot of thoughts this time so I’m posting them on here as well! This was originally a Twitter thread so if you wanna see all the panels that go along with what I’m discussing, you can head over to @kanotototori​ at Twitter (because I’m pretty sure that many images would crash the website on my and you guys’ end LOL).

Without further ado, let’s begin.
