#BUT IDC BECAUSE MY KOKORO IS BROKORO FOR μ's

[yujachachacha]

Hey how have you been doing lately sunsengnim?

I no longer work as a teacher and I’m not an esteemed professional at my current job (nor my side hobby as a QCer/TLer/subber), so that title doesn’t really work with me, haha. You only use this for well-established veterans of a field - as a comparison, consider the use of “sensei” with masters like Hayao Miyazaki (animated films) and Rumiko Takahashi (manga).

If you’re actually trying to use 선생님 as a polite suffix, FYI you only use that in certain situations for strangers who are much older than you. I think the only time I’ve actually seen it used towards a non-teacher/doctor/etc. was for my grandma. My family celebrated her 80th birthday (which is huge in Korea - think of it as the equivalent of a quinceañera or a sweet sixteen, but even more lavish thanks to the person being an elder) at a banquet hall in Korea and the reservation was listed as “(My grandma’s name) 선생님”. I’m the same age as some of the Aqours seiyuu, y’know…I’m not that old yet.

Mini Korean lesson aside - personally, I’ve been doing well! Been super-busy lately due to showing around my aunts and uncle around, but I’m glad to see them. They’re leaving on Sunday so I might get some free time back to myself then. On the other hand, it’ll probably take me around a week after that to get caught up to everything I missed (I had to find out through an ONIBE member I met yesterday that there were wedding vows at the Chiba FMT, what the shit??).

My tentative future plans include QCing a fairly large ONIBE project (which I was supposed to get to 2 weeks ago RIP), translating some Korean LLS Twitter comics (my Dynasty Scans page has more non-LL content than LL content now and that’s a travesty), going through asks I haven’t answered yet, making progress on videos I have yet to release, and drafting a couple of analyses posts I’ve been meaning to write. It’s pretty much the same as the previous to-do list I made for myself, actually.

For now, I’ll be answering asks and writing up a SIF analysis post containing my predictions for a future set. I’ll probably start posting spaghetti again once LLS S2 BD4 starts shipping next week or so (I ordered a copy for “Beginner’s Sailing”, of course), so look forward to that(?) as well.

Also, I received news yesterday (again, from my friend in ONIBE) that previews are out for the μ’s solo live collection. I decided to change my blog background in honor of that. Time for me to drown in feels throughout this month. :’)

And finally: I’ve actually received zero responses in regards to how I should celebrate reaching 1,000 followers. 🙃 I’m unsure as to whether it’s due to people not caring what I do for it, not noticing the post (despite the fact that I changed my blog’s sidebar description to point it out), thinking I’m dead due to my relative inactivity this past week, or some combination of all of these. While a part of me is like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “ayyy lmao that means I don’t have to add something to my to-do list”, I do actually want to do something in honor of this. Please feel free to reply to this post or my 1k follower post linked above with suggestions, or send in an ask! I’ll do my best to prioritize that request so I can properly celebrate the milestone.

If I still don’t get any responses, well…I’ll either just let it slide without doing anything, or I might just pick something myself like I did with my 300 followers milestone. Who knows? :3c
