it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?

My Dunmeshi theory about Kaka and Kiki’s original name

Apparently nobody on Tumblr share this opinion about this dunmeshi lore with me, at least as far as I’ve searched, so I’m making this post. My apologies for the post being long and me overexplaining, I’m not sure if my poorly written sentences can convey what I mean so I had to be extra sure.

This post contains Daydream Hours spoiler

So I want to talk about this. About their names.

Learning that Kaka and Kiki were originally named Kakakaka and Kikikiki made me feel very, very sorry for them. At least when I (a Japanese person) showed the Japanese version of the pic to my friends, they understood why I felt that way without being explained. Also I googled and found people with the same opinion, so I guess my opinion is somewhat shared among the readers in my country.

So let me explain.

If you’ve played a role playing game (RPG) or something similar, you might know how you sometimes create an unwanted, “disposable” character.

You create a new character, you rob them of the default clothing and weapon they’ve got in order to sell and make money.

When you’re done, you “delete”them by put them back to the “storage” and ignoring them forever. Like, if you’ve played BotW, you store your unneeded horses in whatever it is called in English, right? That’s what I mean by “storage”.

In Japanese RPG games, a tavern typically plays the role of the “storage”. You let the character wait for you at a tavern and leave forever. I’m writing this mainly thinking about Dragon Quest (a Japanese RPG), so I don’t know if this is a universal thing. I’ll edit this part if something is unclear.

By the way, when playing older Japanese games, you often don’t get to name your characters as freely as you want. Your names should be in hiragana and 4 letters maximum.

So for example, if your name was らいおす (Raiosu/Laios) or まるしる (Marushiru/Marcille) you get to name your characters after you as there are 4 hiraganas, but if you’re ちるちゃっく (Chiruchakku/Chilchuck) you have to shorten your name to ちる (Chiru/Chil) or something so that your name consists of 4 or less hiraganas.

Back to the unwanted characters. You have to name them. But you obviously don’t want to think hard about the name of a disposable character, right?

At least Japanese players didn’t. They smashed the hiragana keyboard, and were often too lazy to move their fingers while doing so.

So typically, the character would end up with a name consisting of 4 identical hiraganas. For example, the most typical one is ああああ (Aaaa) as あ is one of the easiest keys to select with a console. か (ka) and き (ki) were fairly easy to select too.

The twins’ original names, かかかか(Kakakaka) and きききき (Kikikiki), strongly reminded me of this.

The twins were given no-brainer 4-same-hiragana names and abandoned in a tavern, being told to wait for their company which will never return for them, like many disposable characters did. At least in my headcanon, their relatives clearly didn’t want them.

It’s so fucked up how tiktok culture has made clout-poisoned people turn the public into content, every day I see people minding their business have their entire faces put online for thousands of likes, a couple kissing on the train, a lady dancing across a cross walk, a guy nodding his head to the music at a club, a lady buying a banana at the store, ring camera footage of the neighbors kids being stupid. Just let people live jfc

why are you microwaving carbonated drinks that feels wrong.

IDK, most people hate it, but I'm also the person that purposely lets coke go flat because I like it better flat so me and carbonated drinks have a weird relationship.
