Po latach wracam do żywych, by sypnąć okruchy ludziom łaknącym więcej kontekstu i kontentu do Liceum Non Omnis Moriar

1) Julia Rzecka, jej kot Jar i zasłużony odpoczynek po licznych eksperymentach (zamianę substancji w złoto opanowała, teraz próbuje opracować, jak zmieniać je w metal lżejszy od powietrza)

2) Bella i Zefir bez jakiegoś konkretnego kontekstu. Po prostu chciałam ich narysować razem :-]

3 i 4) COOO CZYŻBY NOWA POSTAĆ?!

Tak, @nightydraws ... twoje prośby zostały wysłuchane i stworzyłam potomka Zagłoby. Napiszę o nim więcej w przyszłości, ale póki co dam takie ciekawostki:

-Roch Zagłoba został nazwany tak, by kontynuować tradycję, której Roch Kowalski sam nie mógł z racji tego, że miał córkę a nie syna (tak, to była ta legendarna Rachela, o której raz wspomniałam).

-Mimo częstego lekceważenia zasad bhp podczas tworzenia i testowania swoich wynalazków jakimś cudem ze wszystkiego wychodzi cało, co go tylko utwierdza w przekonaniu o własnej epickości i niezniszczalności (ku niezadowoleniu Racheli, która prawie dostaje zawału za każdym razem, kiedy on nie podwija rękawów i trzyma je ciut za blisko ognia)

Ile razy w życiu kąpałe(a)ś się nago w morzu o wschodzie słońca? To nie jest pytanie, czy polecisz z dyndająca między nogami pangą do morza, ku radości publiki dogorywającej na piachu.  To pytanie, kiedy ostatnio zrobiłeś coś, zrobiłaś coś czego się bałeś, bałaś.  Co stawiało cię w niekomfortowej sytuacji.  Pewne problemy mimo, że wydają nam się unikalne są przypisane do wieku.  Ktoś ma 20 kilka lat i piekło randek.  Ktoś jest po 30 i przechodzi przez pierwszy rozwód.  Ktoś ma dzieci, dzieci chorują i płaczą, zabierają stary świat i dają nowy.  Rodzice z funkcji opoki do osób potrzebujących opieki.  Ludzie żonglują tymi piłkami, regularnie podrzucanymi przez życie i często brakuje im rąk. Oddechu. I wewnątrz narasta takie przekonanie, że coś poszło nie tak.  Pojawia się niechęć do zmiany  Pojawia się brak spontaniczności Pojawia cię strach.  Bo głupio tak. Zakochać się ? Eee jestem za stara.  Bo co ludzie o mnie pomyślą (ludzie o tobie nie myślą, mają Cię w d..). Ludzie w realnym, nie internetowym życiu pytają mnie często co mają zrobić.  Odpowiadam, że nie wiem. Czasami mówię, co ja bym zrobił na ich miejscu. Popełniłem więcej błędów niż ktokolwiek, ale czasami wyciągałem z nich wnioski, więc można powiedzieć, że wiem jak to jest utknąć w czymś, albo coś spieprzyć.  Kiedyś dużo grałem w gry (w Diablo, Starcrafta albo w Heroes III) W czasach, kiedy można było jeszcze tam nacisnąć pauzę, bo grało się rzadko on-line.  Strasznie podoba mi się ta idea pauzy.  Kilka dni temu poszedłem na targ w Madrycie w samym środku miasta. Pokręciłem się moment.  Obok jakaś nieszczęśliwa morda, sprzedawała browar z kija. Nikt się koło niego nie zatrzymywał. Żal mi się go zrobiło.  Czy jest sens kupić piwo o godzinie 11 rano? Czy jest sens zapłacić za szklankę browaru w mega turystycznym miejscu 10 euro? Oczywiście nie ma sensu. To się nie opłaca. Ale warto.  Kupiłem browar za 10 euro, dałem dwa napiwku. Siedziałem, patrzyłem na ludzi i czułem spokój. Bo zrobiłem coś, czego nie zrobiłem dawno.  Wcisnąłem pauzę.  Wszyscy potrzebujemy pauzy.

The Rhythmic Languages: Classical Lalafellin Explained

One of the most interesting grammatical systems in Etheirys is that of the Lalafellin languages. It is preserved most purely in Classical Lalafellin, the language from which Ul'dahn and Plainsfolk naming conventions are derived. The Lalafellin languages are ruled by rhythm and repetition, and this applies to more than just the names. First off, let's start with stress. Lalafellin words and even entire sentences have movable stress that aligns itself to a rhythm. For example, let's assign stress to the phrase "tara-go-mezu ta-ta-riki la-mana-na ga-ga-iti-ruku-na". You don't need to worry about what the actual grammar is here, just the sounds. You can see that each word here is broken up into segments. The main rule is that a) stress is usually every other mora or every third mora b) the second or later mora of a segment cannot have primary stress c) if these two rules come into conflict, syllables may be lengthened to maintain the stress pattern

For example, the stress on this phrase would be something like: Ta ra go ME zu ta TA ri ki LA ma na NA ga ga I ti i RU ku na Note that "iti" is lengthened to fit with the "every third syllable" stress pattern. (Note that Ul'dahn and Plainsfolk names have a broader syllable structure with some syllables loaned from the Ul'dahn language and Vylbrandic substrate itself, but still follow rhythmic patterns.) Now we can get to actual grammar: Each word is made up of at least 2 segments, and the arrangement and reduplication pattern of those segments can do anything from inflection to derivation. For example, for a noun ABC, where A, B, and C are segments (i.e. tara-go-mezu),

the plural reduplicates the first segment (i.e. tara-tara-go-mezu)

if you turn it into a verb meaning "to be similar to...", (verbs and adjectives are the same part of speech) you rearrange it to BCA (i.e. go-mezu-tara)

and so on. Other things: - Adjectives echo their final segment onto the noun they're describing, and the adjective itself can be omitted if it's clear enough what is being said, i.e. "tara-go-mezu" (in the genitive) + "la-mana" = "tara-go-mezu la-mana-mezu", which can be shortened to "la-mana-mezu". - To form the antonym of a word, you reverse the segment order and add -da. If the A segment is one syllable, this -da appends itself to the A segment. If not, it becomes a new segment. For example, the opposite of la-mana would be mana-lada. Naming conventions: Names in Lalafellin differ from other languages in that they do not have an inherent meaning to them; they relate to each other through sound and pattern alone. The patterns for names (AB-CB, AAB-CCB, AAB-AB, and ABB-AB) are not grammatical, and may instead be thought of as derivations; cases and further derivations are applied to the two parts of the name independently (in all cases, both names share the same final segment for the genitive). i.e. the dative of Yayamaru Sisimaru is Yamaruya Simarusi. Lalafellin does the Japanese thing where "pronouns" are essentially titles; the conventional way to refer to oneself is in the third person, by one's name (and then subsequently using demonstratives, as in Sylphic). (The conventional equivalent of phrases of possessive pronouns is just doing the genitive adjective abbreviation thing I mentioned earlier, with the person's name or whatever pronoun-title you are referring to them with. So for example, something belonging to Yayamaru Sisimaru would be suffixed with -maru.) In this context it's usually shortened to the first part of the name, except Plainsfolk males. Another characteristic Lalafellin inherits from Japanese is a pitch accent system (though I haven't quite figured out how it works yet).

i tried to look more into the boonboomgers' names because despite being obvious puns on car parts, all of them have kanji characters and therefore they technically do have specific meanings .,!!! copy and pasted this off of discord so the formatting is bad and also the spelling and grammar might be really off too so sorry about that! all of the kanji meanings are taken from a kanji dictionary under the cut

taiya - taiya's full name consists of the kanji 範道 大也 (handou taiya). 大 (tai) is a kanji that has a generally consistent meaning, which is "grand"/"big"/"great", but it can also mean "excellence" and "respectful" (the quality of being respectful, not having the respect geared towards them). 也 (ya) varies depending on its readings, but when read as 'ya', it means "will it be (so)?" or "is it so?" 範 (han) means "model" or "example". 道 (dou) has many different meanings, but the ones that are most relevant to taiya's character "road"/"path", "skill"/"technique" and especially "guide"/"lead" ishirou - again, but this time with 鳴田 射士郎 (meita ishirou). his first name consists of three kanji ,. 射 (i) is usually used in names to mean to "shine", but this particular kanji also means "shoot", "strike" or "aim" which is suspiciously fitting for him (professional sniper 😭 😭 ). 士 (shi) in general means a person with a duty (particularly a samurai) but it also just means "a man" in general and in a name it's usually used with another kanji to mean "a man of _". 郎 (rou) actually just means the same thing as the former, refers to a male. with the kanji in mind, ishirou's name basically means "a man that shoots" but also could be interpreted as "a man that has a clear aim" 鳴 (mei) can mean "to make/produce a sound" but it also means "to reverberate" in the sense that a person's reputation 'echoes' and is widely known. 田 (ta) is a fairly common kanji in last names that means a few things but in surnames it almost always refers to a "field" or a "countryside" ishirou's nickname 'shasshiro'/'chasshiro' refers to a chassis. the kanji 射 (i) can also be read as 'sha' mira - kind of like ishirou's except it's her last name that has 3 kanji 志布戸 未来 (shifuto mira). 未 (mi) has 4 completely different meanings, which are "not yet", "sheep", "south"/"southwest", and "time" (specifically referring to "2 PM and 2 hours before and after"). 来 (ra) is usually used in names to refer to the act of "bringing" something or for something to "come" (ex. combining it with a character for something like 'joy' so the name means "to bring joy") but is also used similarly to refer to something "in the future". interestingly, 未来 (mira) can also be read as "mirai", literally the word for "future", and in tandem with her surname her name could be read as "shifting future" which can refer to how she constantly changes jobs 志 (shi) can either mean "aspiration" or "resolution" (as in a goal) but can also mean "record" or "document" and thus "memory". 布 (fu) means 3 completely different things but can either mean "cloth", "spread" or "currency". lastly 戸 (to) is again one of those kanji that mean multiple, completely different things, being "entrance", "house", "name" and "amount of alcohol" (???) jou - jou's first name consist of 4 kanji, 3 going into his last name and only 1 for his first name 阿久瀬 錠 (akuse jou). 錠 (jou) means "lock", but also refers to the state of being "fixed" or "locked" into place. likely refers to his unmoving heroism but also how he views his job as a police officer ("lock" implies security and protection) 阿 (a) is another one of those kanji that mean several different things 😭 "hill", "cove", "eaves" (like roof overhangs), "to approach", and "endearment". 久 (ku) can mean "long lasting" or "ancient" but the meaning i found most relevant to jou's character was "to remain unchanged". 瀬 (se) means "shallow water", "rapids" and "position"

genba - genba's name consist of 4 kanji, 2 for his first and last name 振騎 玄蕃 (bureki genba). 玄 (gen) is a fairly common kanji for names although it usually appears as its kunyomi reading 'kuro' instead. means a couple of things like "black"/"dark", "north" and "heaven" but the meanings that seemed relevant to him were "mysterious"/"profound" and "distant". 蕃 (ba) has a couple different meanings but its most common ones are "to grow"/"to flourish", "to expand" and "to increase" 玄蕃 "genba" is also a pun based on the word 工事現場 (kojigenba) meaning "construction site" in reference to his suit motif and his mecha being based off of machines you'd find in a construction site 振 (bure) can mean "to stir up" or "to rouse" (foreshadowing..........) but also refers to the physical action of "shaking". it can also mean to "rescue" or "help" (interesting paired with his catchphrase that basically means "looks like you need some help"), "flock" (of birds) and "gesture". 騎 (ki) means to "ride"/"mount"/"straddle" (a horse), but can also refer to the horse itself (used to refer to specifically horse for horseback riding) or a cavalry (soldiers riding on horses) if you have more to add onto this PLEASE tell me about it

"Akka-są́: a Brief Introduction to the Native Script of Ngįout"

Akka-są́ [ɑ̈k.kɑ̈ sʰɑ̃ː] is the native writing system of Ngįout. It is an abugida, but through historical sound change it has become more complicated.

A glyph has an inherent vowel a ("A-Type"), or is modefied with a diacritic for the vowels e i o u (E-Type). This reading however only surfaces when a character stamds on its own - <T*> ta, <Kᵘ> ku, <Bⁱ> bi. The main event is happening when glyphs are put together. (Picture 1) shows the script in its native ordering, the rows the different consonants, and the columns the plain form and with the 4 diacritics.

(*a note on transliteration in this post: consonants are capitalized, and the vowel diacritic is superscript. <T> = the T glyph with the inherent vowel a, <Tᵘ> = the T glyph with the u diacritic)

When reading, glyphs are grouped into pairs, starting from the beginning of a word. A final odd-numbered glyph joins the previous pair as a third. Those pairs represent syllables: the 1st represents the onset consonant, the 2nd the coda consonant if there ia one, and the vowel is interpreted from a combination of them both. here are some examples, also shown in (Picture 2):

<KⁱT> kẹt. Onset k- from 1st <Kⁱ>, coda -t from 2nd <T>, vowel -ẹ- from the CⁱC sequence.

<LᵉNᵘ> lön. Onset l- from 1st <Lᵉ>, coda -n from 2nd <Nᵘ>, vowel -ö- from the CᵉCᵘ sequance.

Now all this is very nice and simple when both glyphs are Strong, but only <P, T, S, M, N, NG> are. All other glyphs do not have a consonantal value when weak, but a vocalic one, influencing the vowel of the syllable in a particular way.

One of them is vowel nasalization. When 2nd, <B, D, G, J> nasalize the preceding vowel, and have no consonantal value. The quality of the nasal vowel is determined by the vowel of the 1st, not a combination of both. For example, also shown in (Picture 3):

<TSᵘ> tos because <CCᵘ> gives the vowel -o-

<TJᵘ> on the other hand is tą, because 2nd <Jᵘ> only nasalizes the previous vowel, and has no effect on its quality.

This quality of vowel nasalization creates the current state, where each nasal vowel can be written in a lot of different ways. This is what the this picture shows - the 16 different ways the syllable tą- can be written.

This is a very incomplete and rambly even introduction to Akka-są́, and it has taken me a very long time to write, because I still have a lot to orgenize in my head on how to lay out the order each part of the system works. It all feels so intertwined and I'm not sure how to go about it. Anyway, I hope this was interesting and understandable, if you have any questions I'll be haply to answer them :)

RMPG Nicknames

Japanese 'letters' are usually two or three English letter combinations, the only possible exceptions being vowels a, e, u, i, o and the consonant n. Including the members' names charted out in that fashion so any nickname creation at least follows some amount of accuracy to their names.

Likiya: I have never seen any nicknames for Likiya. The 'letters' of Likiya's name break down Li|ki|ya Zin: Zin similarly doesn't use nicknames. For an OC partner, you might be able to get away with ZinZin as a cutesy one. The 'letters' of his name are Zi|n Riku: Rikkun is often used by fans towards Riku. I don't think any members use it, but a OC partner could. Riku's name is Ri|ku Kenta: Kamiken is used for him occasionally, it falls into the 'partial surname' 'partial first name' pattern of YamaSho, IwaSho, UraSho, etc. Ke|n|ta Rui: No nicknames for him in particular. Ru|i YamaSho: YamaSho is a nickname, but none beyond that. His first name is Sho|go Kazuma: No nicknames for him in use I've seen. Ka|zu|ma Hokuto: Hoku-chan, used by fans and members. Ho|ku|to Shogo: IwaSho is used sometimes to differentiate between him and YamaSho. Sho|go Shohei: UraSho is used by at least one host, but not much beyond that. Sho|he|i Itsuki: Icchan, used by fans and members. Ituski's name is Icchan. I|tsu|ki Kaisei: No nicknames in particular. Ka|i|se|i Makoto: Mako-chan, used by fans and members. Ma|ko|to Ryu: Ata-chan, Big Baby. Ryu Takahide: Hide-chan, Pide-chan. Ta|ka|hi|de Takuma: Takkun, Yatchi (Kazuma uses this one for sure). Ta|ku|ma

Ta-da! Today we have the first audio drama, or rather, the introduction, the main story for this CD is on another track. In total there were 10 audio drama CDs, two sets of 5 with each album being tied to a different frog

The uploads for these will have a one day break on either side, as well as a shorter track, partially because writing out the story will take more time, and partially because I calculated how many tracks there are in total and it turns out I started this a little too early; there are some seasonal songs I wanted to post around the corresponding time, and this will pad things out just enough to let me do that

On that note, there's a translation (and notes) under the cut

Hopefully it turned out well, I forgot how hard these guys are to translate by ear (^.^')

--------------- N: When you're listening to a CD, keep the room bright and sit away from the speaker- What? Ah, it's fine? (1)

Alright then, to show our gratitude that you bought this production, our best wishes to you

Well, it's sudden, but this is the Keron army Pekopon invasion base, secretly built deep under the Hinata house

K66: I'm the commander of the Keroro platoon, nobody else could have gathered you today

Private 2nd Class Tamama!

TMM: Yes!

K66: Corporal Giroro!

G66: Hmph, really, it's not that this will be anything but you doing what you want

K66: Gi-Giroro-kun

G66: What is it?

K66: Since this time is audio only, could you change your voice? It's scary, yes sir

G66: I-Is that so? (sweetly) Hello, I'm Giroro~♥

K66: G-Good job

N: That was also scary...

K66: Moving along, Sgt Major Kururu

966: Ku ku, present

K66: And Angol Mois-dono

M: Yes, uncle!

K66: Ah~ As always, you're such a good, honest girl, aren't you?

TMM: I won't lose like this

N: Tamama fretted

TMM: Yes! It's Private 2nd class Tamama~! ♥

K66: Replying once is enough

TMM: Gaan!

N: And then slumped

K66: Well then, everyone's here

D66: Uh, I am...

K66: (Shocked noises) I forgot him

There's no way I'd forget you! A person we value so, so much!

Lance Corporal Dororo!

D66: I've come to participate

K66: That was close, his trauma switch is still off

G66: Just hurry and tell us what in the world this is about! (awkward pausing) Um, what might this be about? ♥

K66: The grey cells of our army, yet also like a grandmother's embrace, Sgt Major Kururu has invented a fearsome new weapon to easily and simply conquer Pekopon

TMM: Fearsome?

G66: New weapon?

K66: And so, keep your eyes peeled and see that new weapon!

Mois-dono 12487 circuit, switch on!

M: Roger! Switch on!

(Everyone makes exclamations of amazement)

G66: Oh! But isn't this just a normal CD?

K66: Your eyes can't see it, can they? Corporal Giroro

G66: What are you saying?

K66: This CD was developed by Sergeant Major Kururu, when it's read by the treasured home sound system of the enemy, we can freely control them through what they hear

(More exclamations of amazement)

966: Ku ku ku ku, I really am the man that makes the impossible happen

TMM: Ooh! Let's try it out right away Mr Sergeant!

K66: Wait, I'm not finished speaking yet!

Gero gero gero gero, it sounds fearsome, right? This Pekopon invasion CD is going to have 5 kinds made

G66: F-five kinds?

D66: That's amazing, good sir (2)

K66: You understand, right? If in this Heisei era recession somebody released a 5 CD, what would happen? How much of a problem would it be?

M: Mois knows! Uncle will make so that people who want to acquire all of these CD will have to aimlessly search all over for them. You could say "Strength in numbers"

K66: Mois-dono~

TMM: I can't lose!

N: Tamama fretted once again

TMM: Mr Sergeant's amazing! It's a miracle you have the popularity to make a 5 part CD set!

K66: (Distressed noises)

TMM: I screwed up

N: And once again Tamama slumped

K66: Setting that aside! All eyes on the monitor!

Behold! Our audio weapon!

G66: Th-this is!

TMM: Oh!

M: It's an original drama CD, isn't it? Uncle

K66: Precisely

TMM: Hmm, the first one is Mr Sergeant's Gunpla diary, the second is Mr Sergeant's poem collection, third is Mr Sergeant's health diary, forth is Mr Sergeant...

G66: (noises of irritation)

K66: How's it? What does everyone think? It's the best, right?

G66: Keroro! You moron! What part of this is a Pekopon invasion CD!? Ultimately, isn't this a CD of your interests!?

K66: However, after all, see, it was fun to make

G66: It was only fun for you!

TMM: Right? It won't sell with titles like this

K66: Gero!

TMM: Since there's 5 in the set, I want to make one "Tamama: The path to hand-to-hand combat, yes sir" volume (3)

G66: I'll make a CD too! One that appeals to the spirit of the Keron army "Giroro: Speeches of rage, yes sir" volume

966: Ku Ku, I've also been thinking, "Kururu: Discover through sound, great field guide, yes sir" volume. How is it?

M: Um, I have something to say. If there's space, I think a "Mois, return to her home town" volume would be good, you could say, feathering your own nest

D66: In that case, I think a "Dororo: A wonderful world of flowers & greenery, yes sir" volume would be nice, good sir. It would have bird songs, & river sounds-

723: Hey! Stupid frog!

K66: Auwah!

723: I heard it from Yoshizaki-sensei. You're making an original drama CD, aren't you?

K66: Uh, that's...

FYK: Aren't you being secretive, sergeant?

K66: Fuyuki-dono too!?

MMK: Hello! Did my Tama-chan come to play?

TMM: Ah! Even Momocchi!

723: For a well made CD, it would be nice to get Mutsumi-san as a guest to do a special talk, wouldn't it?

K66: What?

FYK: In that case, as the Occult Club, we could do an audio report on the 7 mysteries of the world

K66: Well, that's...

MMK: Since he world's 7 mysteries would cover a lot of material, let's release it as a first & second part 2 disc set

K66: W-wait a minute-this is- I'm supposed to be the author of this-

UMMK: What's that? You've got complaints about the 7 mysteries of the world?

K66: Gero~

723: No matter what, it should be something fun

K66: Well, that's true, but...

723: Then let's all do it

K66: (Noises of frustration)

N: Just then, something inside of Keroro snapped

K66: I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! Everyone's doesn't wanna listen to my ideas and are making their own 5-part CD sets!

G66: What? You're suddenly having a tantrum!?

TMM: "I think you should stop crying "me me me me" like a kid! (4)

K66: No way!

G66: Aren't you embarrassed as an army man?

K66: I wanna make a gunpla diary! I wanna make one!

D66: Everyone, my suggestion-

TMM: More than that, We should do a Private 2nd Class Tama-chan diary!

M: That's good, but so is my "Mois-chan: uncle love-love diary"!

TMM: Burying me under a similar idea, I won't forgive this woman!

N: Again, again, again, again, Tamama fretted

723: More importantly, are you going to call Mutsumi-san as a guest or not?

G66: I-I think if Natsumi says so, we should call him

K66: No no no no! It's my CD! We're doing what I want!

G66: You're crying over a CD!

FYK: I thought the world's seven mysteries was good

MMK: Isn't it? Hey Paul! Give it your all and to back up Fuyuki-kun! Paul! Buy every dictaphone you can find!

P: Yes, miss

M: Then, how about a three-part harmageddon-

TMM: Keep that off this CD!

N: Again, again, again, again, again, Tamama lost it

TMM: I've had it!

723: Call Mutsumi!

Everyone: Unintelligible arguing

966: Ku ku ku, it's already a mess, huh?

N: Any way, in an ugly, hostile environment like this, will the Pekopon invasion CD be born?

1-It's a parody of the warnings that started being placed at the beginning of animated shows after flashing lights in the Porygon episode of Pokemon caused photosensitive migraines & seizures. The warnings tell viewers to sit a good distance from the screen and to keep the room well lit since this reduces the photo sensitive effect, but since it's a CD it doesn't really effect anything.

2-Keroro's ending sentences "de arimasu" is derived from military speech and translated as "yes sir" to reflect that, while Dororo's "de gozaru" is both formal and archaic (the modern counterpart is "gozaimasu"), so I translated it as "good sir" to have a similar feel.

3-The pattern for the proposed titles is, of course, modeled off the episode titles, but "volume" ("title" no maki) actually means something closer to roll, a lot of works use this pattern which dates back to when everything was written on scrolls.

4-I had to fudge this one because it doesn't translate neatly; you've probably noticed from listening that Japanese has multiple options for first person pronouns that have different associations and how well a character's categories match to the "I" they use can tell you more about them.

Keroro normally uses "Wagahai" which is an old fashioned and slightly arrogant sounding way of calling yourself (it's a bit like saying "my esteemed self") and is sort of a more archaic counterpart to the modern "Ore-sama". But during his meltdown, he uses "Boku" which it typically used by boys and younger men, in this case to make him sound more childish.

....Either way, it's a little ironic that Tamama's the one complaining about Keroro doing this since he also uses a more childish speech pattern.

10 Countries Names in Katakana Edition (Asia - South/East Asia Edition) - Learning Katakana Script!

<< Part 1

China, Korea & Japan are written in Kanji - so would be skipped from this list :) still I'll write them at the end for anyone who wants to know. I have something bonus at the end of the post hehe!

1. インド (いんど)

2. スリランカ (すりらんか)

3. パキスタン (ぱきすたん)

4. シンガポール (しんがぽーる)

5. べトナム (べとなむ)

6. インドネシヤ (いんどねしや)

7. ブタン (ぶたん)

8. バングラデシュ (ばんぐらでしゅ)

9. ネパール (ねは一る)

10. カンボジヤ (かんぼじや)

bonus!

1. 日本 (にほん)

meaning: Japan

pronunciation/romanji: ni-ho-n

kanji breakdown: 日→に (meaning: Sun) & 本→ほん (meaning: Book, also origin, basis depending on context the meaning changes). The Kanji essentially means "Sun's Origin" or as Japan is also called "Land of the Rising Sun"

2. 中国 (ちゅうげく)

meaning: China pronunciation/romanji: chu-u-go-ku kanji breakdown: 中 -> generally this kanji means "inside, in or center" 国 -> くに (meaning: country). Together we can say these words mean "Center Country" or "Middle Kingdom"

3. 韓国 (かんこく)

meaning: Korea pronunciation/romanji: ka-n-ko-ku kanji breakdown: 韓 -> this kanji is referred to as Korea in both Japanese and Mandarin (I believe) and the kanji is taken from Mandarin into Japanese. I couldn't exactly find the meaning of this particular kanji or why has it come to mean Korea, however, if someone knows please do comment or reblog :) to note: generally Korea is written in Hiragana and not Kanji.

1. インド (いんど)

meaning: India

pronunciation/romanji: i-n-do

2. スリランカ (すりらんか)

meaning: Sri Lanka

pronunciation/romanji: su-ri-ra-n-ka

3. パキスタン (ぱきすたん)

meaning: Butan

pronunciation/romanji: bu-ta-n

8. バングラデシュ (ばんぐらでしゅ)

meaning: Bangladesh

pronunciation/romanji: ba-n-gu-ra-de-shu

9. ネパール (ねは一る)

meaning: Nepal

pronunciation/romanji: ne-paa-ru

10. カンボヅヤ (かんぼじや)

meaning: Cambodia

pronunciation/romaji: ka-n-bo-ji-ya

I wanted to introduce another Kanji, because I believe it is very effective in learning countries and how to say a nationality together.

人

meaning: person pronounced: ひと (hi-to) kanji breakdown/usage: this kanji is a person indicator, the pronunciation changes depending on context. for the sake of this post, I will only talk about it's "じん" (Jin) usage.

When referring to a person from a country you can say "country name [either in kanji or Katakana] + 人" and that it! You can say your nationality :)

Example:

インド人 - Indian (Indo-jin)

日本人 - Japanese (Nihon-jin)

カンボジア人 - Cambodian (Canbojiya-jin)

Basic sentence from this: I am Indian -> 私はインド人です！[watashi wa indojin desu] - Although people general would just say インド人です (indojin desu) or 私はインド人 (watashi wa indojin)

So, if you made it this far in the post, please do post where you are from / your nationality :)

[yourultraarchive]

i love love love your blog!! you have a few posts about japanese names, like how to make them and where they fit in but,,, i was wondering how an american name would fit in (like class number, alphabetically, etc.) or how to translate one, if at all. and do you think its a good idea to have an american oc actually attending UA at all? i know you've said you're not an authority, so its totally fine if you dont know. thank youuuu! your templates are amazing btw

Hi, sorry for the late reply! (I actually haven't been on tumblr in like... months. Life and all.)

Foreign/non-Japanese OCs attending UA wouldn't be weird at all--there are canonically at least 3 foreign exchange/transfer/descent/immigrant students (or something of the sort)! Aoyama from 1-A and Pony and Rin from 1-B are all foreigners in some capacity.

As for how they'd fit alphabetically--well, it'd be just like any alphabetical order you'd think of, it's just that it'd be based on the Japanese alphabet instead of English. Here is a good reference for the general rules of that order, including voiced consonants:

In Romaji, these kana are phonetically ordered as: a, i, u, e, o, ka, ga, ki, gi, ku, gu, ke, ge, ko, go, sa, za, shi, ji, su, zu, se, ze, so, zo, ta, da, chi, di/ji, tsu, du/dzu, te, de, to, do, na, ni, nu, ne, no, ha, ba, pa, hi, bi, pi, fu/hu, bu, pu, he, be, pe, ho, bo, po, ma, mi, mu, me, mo, ya, yu, yo, ra, ri, ru, re, ro, wa, wo, n (This is ignoring "little" variants since those are never going to be at the start of a word, but it does determine the order of words that do have them in the middle somewhere.)

It may look weird to people used to the English alphabet (you may think it's strange that "pa" comes before "bi" right?) but do keep in mind that Japanese is... well. Not English. This is normal to them!

For a name that doesn't easily fit the Japanese phonetic structure, you'd have to sound it out with kana (and write it out with katakana, since it's a foreign name). Some examples:

Pony, written as ポニー, is read "po-ni-i" (since long vowel sounds are translated in katakana as a long dash), and since it's a name starting with a voiced consonant (po), it would go after names starting with "he" (and its voiced versions) and before names starting with "ma". (If we were sorting characters by first name anyway.)

Peter Parker, written as ピーター・パーカー, is read "pi-i-ta-a / pa-a-ka-a" (again with long dashes translating as long vowels), and would alphabetically go before Pony (in either case of first or last name, since "pi" and "pa" both come before "po"). Also, in case you didn't catch the pattern, the "er" ending in English is most often translated as a long "a" sound!

Richard Grayson, written as リチャード・グレイソン, is read "ri-cha-a-do / gu-re-i-so-n". This is an example of sounds like "gr" that don't translate well in Japanese, so you kind of have to squish two syllables together to get it, with the vowel in the middle being somewhat "silent". The most common "silent" character in Japanese is "u", but I've seen "o" a few times too (see next example).

Mytho or Mute, written as みゅうと or ミュート, is read as "myu-u-to", and can be translated as either of the aforementioned "English" names (because translations aren't a 1-to-1 thing after all). In the example of the "Mute" translation, the silent "o" just kind of sounds better at the end than a "u" does in cases like this.

Thanatos, written as タナトス, is read "ta-na-to-su", and is an example of a name with that silent "u" at the end.

Anthony Stark, written as アントニー・スターク, is read as "a-n-so-ni-i / su-ta-a-ku", and is another example of translating sounds that don't exist in Japanese ("th" in English becomes "s" or "z" in Japanese, and "st[x]" becomes "sut[x]") and the silent "u".

Jason Stryker, written as ジェイソン・ストライカー, is read as "je-i-so-n / su-to-ra-i-ka-a", and is another example of translating sounds that don't exist in Japanese, with "Stryker" showcasing that it uses the "st[x] -> sut[x]" rule AS WELL AS a silent "o" rather than the usual silent "u".

Class number is just based on where they are in the alphabetical order (ie. Aoyama is No.1 because he has the earliest alphabetical character in his surname, "a". Ashido is No.2 because, while she also has an "a" surname, "shi" comes after "o" in the Japanese alphabet).

So for instance, if Richard Grayson was added to 1-A, he would have a seat between Kirishima and Koda since his surname starts with "gu" (in the Japanese writing system!), and his class number would be No.9! Koda and everyone else after him would have their number pushed accordingly. If Peter Parker were added to this same class, he would be between Bakugou and Midoriya!

I hope this helped, and will help others too. Thanks for the ask! (Also thanks for saying so, I feel like no one actually uses the templates at all...)

Anyway, plus ultra and all that!

An Explanation for Kishic Noble Names and a quick intro of the Kishic counting system

Hello y'all this is meant to go along with the previous post about Ninma. Most Kishic indiviuals only have one name, such as Narul, Istek, or Bira. However within the Kishic Noble tradition, a person's full name typically includes four or five elements depending on the person. These being Number, Given Name, Line, Clan/Branch, and Title.

As an example, Ninma's full name is as follows: Ba Ninma Asheradul Ninjali Ninma's full name in Kishic is shown below, her given name is underlined as is typical in the Kishic tradition

More explanation of the naming structure below the cut!

1 Number and Kishic Numeric system

An individual is named for the order in which they are born into a family and/or clan. Family lines typically follow a patrillineal structure. When a family branches or splits forming a "clan/branch" the count is restarted for that particular line. As an example, Ninma is the third person given her name within her direct family line, thus Ba. However, should Ninma have a daughter also named Ninma, because that would no longer be in the direct patrillineal line, the count would restart thus her daughter would be Un, and would mark the first member of a new clan/branch.

1. Un 2. Se 3. Ba 4. Ta 5. Su 6. Tu 7. De 8. Teti 9. Sekesh(a) 10. Bet(a) 11. Ku-Bet(a) 12. Se-Bet(a) 13. Ba-Bet(a) 20. Shet(a) 21. Ku-Shet 22. Se-Shet 30. Bat(a) 31. Ku-Bat(a) 40. Taset(a) 41. Ku-Taset(a) 50. Suset(a) 51: Ku-Suset(a) 60: Tuset(a) 61: Ku-Tuset(a) 70. Denet(a) 71: Ku-Denet 80: Tetet(a) 81: Ku-tetet(a) 90: Seket(a) 91: Ku-Seket(a) 100: Kid(a)

2 Given Name

Noble names originate from a prescribed list, The Decreed Callings, created during the era of the united Kishic empire by King Tamel as a way to easily differentiate the noble from the mundane. This list was carved into stone, and typically left as stelae or rock monuments in the majority of Kishic city's thus, explaining the relative homogenity of spelling between much different cities. The literal meanings of most of these names stem from a dialect of Shabalic now almost entirely forgotten, and thus the actual meaning of each name is of little importance if it is remembered at all. There are exceptions, for example, Ninma, coming from the adjective for small or dimunitve Nina and the word for woman, Ma, quite literally translates to "Small woman". Certain names are more common or traditional within a family.

The majority of names, though not all, have both a feminine and masculine equivalent.

While typically only nobility are permitted to bear these names, if one rises to the ranks of nobility they must choose or have a name from this list given to them, conversely, they may lose the name and replace it with another, often a slightly different version. Eg. Zatar (noble) and Zatur( peasant).

Some peasants, particular those of near noble status, purposely choose these near noble names as a symbol of wealth or status.

Included below are the masculine and feminine equivalent of the thirty-one noble names and some examples of peasant equivalents.

3 Line

Most noble families trace their ancestry back to a single famous individual, typically a legendary or influential figure. It is not uncommon for nobles to rename their familiy line as a way to improve their standing, nor is it common for families to claim descendancy from mythical figures. Additional it is often the case that multiple families may claim descendancy from the same ancestor.

On rare occassions, a person may choose to start a new line, with themselves as its root, though this is very rare, and typically reserved for kings and usurpers.

Examples:

The Line of Asher- Asherdul

The Line of Tamel ( The most commonly claimed line, 1 in 10 noble families use this title)- Tameldul

The Line of Lat (An entirely fictional character)- Latdul

The Line of Akard- Akarddul

4 Clan/Branch

As was previously explained, a branch most typically forms as the result of a deviation from the direct patrillineal line, in these instances the branch name is typically merely a second number. Typically the direct family line does not have a branch or clan name.

In cases of adoption or as recognition for a particular trait or achievement from a member of line, or conversely as a mark of punishment, a new name may be awared/inflicted on an individual and thus their descendants forming a "clan". Clan's are typically signified by the ending -di.

The creation of new clans (not branches) must be approved by the highest authority of that particular city-state, usually the monarch. A member of that line does not have to be the one to produce a petition for the recognition of a new clan, though they must be noble.

Examples: Den Kotus Ladara(a)dul Hirudi Ekiku The Clan of Hiru (A famous warrior) Se Atab Ku(u)birdul Ba Unku The third branch of the Line of Ku(u)bir Un Barunaki Farutimadul Gomandi Kikunku The Large (fat) Clan (This was unlikely chosen willingly, and was likely the result of a petty squabble or some afront)

Title

Held by many but not all nobles, this is simply a reflection of their job or ranking within a city-state's hierarchy.

Examples Jal/Jali- King/Queen Ninjal/Ninjali- Prince/Princess Unku/Unma- (Generic) Lord/Lady literally One Man/Woman Ekiku/Ekima- Horse man (Mounted warrior/horse keeper) Ekijalku/ma- Charioteer (typically more esteemed than Ekiku) Kikunku/ma- Master of Grain (can refer to those in charge of both granaries/and the production of beer for a royal household) Shukalajal/i- Spearmaster literally Great Spear (Typically the senior guard and champion of the monarch)

After Happily Ever After

He always knew it would be a bad idea. Even when she was Ladybug. He first saw her on a screen on Tim’s laptop. Gorgeous blue eyes. Freckled skin like chocolate chips on a cake. A deep commanding look on her face, which he usually saw on the faces of seasoned heroes like Batman or Superman or Wonder Woman. She looked around his physical age. Not that it was a true measuring unit. He'd been around for a couple of years and still looked 18. Yeah, but the first thing that came into his mind when he saw her was the word ‘pretty’. More specifically, that she looked pretty.

But he never had an opportunity to directly talk to her. Wonder Woman, Zatana and John were in charge of the communication from the Parisian heroes and the Bats were only backing up as detectives, aiming to find her villain. He first had the opportunity to meet her when she first stepped into the tower as ‘Lady Miracle’, finally defeating her villain.

They were all standing around in the watchtower as she and Wonder Woman walked in. His surprise must have shown on his face because Rob was trying to elbow him in his gut to get his mouth closed and Clark and Jon were smirking at him.

Wonder Woman gave them a quick review of the situation in France and then the main founders left for their meeting while the ‘sidekicks’ hung around as so helpfully said by Green Lantern(Hal- the git). The younger school-going superheroes were also sent back. Yeah, but it gave the young heroes a perfect opportunity to chat with Lady Miracle. Which Bart helpfully emphasized by running up to her first.

“Hey, what's up? How are you doing?” Bart said, shaking her hand. Classic speedster style.

If Lady Miracle was shocked by it, she didn't let it show on her face. “Yeah, I'm doing good. Defeated my villain and all. Finally my schedule was cleaned up a bit.”

And of course, that had to catch Nightwing’s attention. “You mean to tell me that you didn't drop out of school?”

“Why would I?” Lady Miracle asked.

“So how did you take care of the akuma-ta-ta?” Bart asked.

“First of all, it's Akuma. Come on, say it with me a–”

“A–” Repeated Bart.

“Ku–ma”

“Ku-maai”

“Close enough.” Lady Miracle said with a smile.

“Anyway, getting back to the topic.” Red Robin said. “How the hell did you manage that?”

“I made up excuses like– ‘Miss, I wanna go to the bathroom.’ or ‘I need to help my parents out at the–their business’ or something.” Lady Miracle said, shrugging her shoulders.

“So you mean to say your parents know?” Nightwing asked.

“WHAT? No. They don't know. Hopefully they'll never find out.”

“But why not?” Superboy(elder) asked.

“I really don't like talking about it, sorry.”

“No problem.” Superboy answered before one of the detective boys could jump in and insist on an answer.

“We all have something we don't want to talk about, right Red?” He said, giving the boy in question a pointed glare.

“Yeah, right. Totally.”

This was a bad idea. He had a sinking feeling he would be back on that question the moment he got the chance. But there was a really pretty lady in front of her and maybe he would not get a chance to ask her out later on, so-he-probably- shoulddoitnow. Why on Earth was he rambling? He was supposed to be the smoothest talker in his team for God's sake! He stopped as he felt a touch on his forearm. He lived up to see Lady Miracle smiling at him curiously.

“You were rambling.”

He gulped. Quite visibly. This fact was verified by the snickers from his team. Whole herd of betrayers, that lot.

“Are you fine?” Lady Miracle asked.

“Sure. Why wouldn’t I be?” He replied, trying desperately to gain some swagger back.

She certainly let go of his arm as she heard the door open. More specifically the meeting door. “Let’s go see my new room.” She said, slightly tilting her head over the door where all the senior founder members were coming out of.

“Wait a minute, You're joining Young Justice?” Superboy asked, looking down at her and confusion.

“Yeah, didn't you hear, Wonder Woman? Wonder Woman is supposed to take me to the Young Justice headquarters.”

Apparently his lack of awareness was too much for his so-called teammates (Betrayers, as he had previously established) because those goons burst out LAUGHING.

“Ah, I've never seen Kon so FLUSTERED in my life.” Red said, trying to get his laughs under control, pretending to wipe a fake tear. Dude wore domino masks! And his (Robin’s) life was about to get VERY short.

“Ohh I'm gonna enjoy having you around.” Cassie said, lightly patting Lady Miracle’s arm.

The meeting got over and they were all on their way to the Young Justice cave. Correction Batman, Wonder Woman, Lady Miracle and the Young Justice were on their way to the Cave.

Although it wasn't clear enough from Lady Miracle’s face, it was easy enough to tell that she was excited. No, excited wasn’t the word. Terrified? Yeah, that was closer. And to be fair, they were the upcoming heroes who were eventually gonna be the new Justice League. That makes them sound like rich kids ‘heirs to huge empires’ club. Whatever.

Jon’s mind was distracted. Will she date him? She was very pretty smart, and he was pretty sure many heroes would try to ask her out. Not that he owned her, but he really really wanted to date her. He tried to ease his mind as he heard Lady Miracle’s gasp as she first saw the cave.

And the days flew by.

Surprisingly, Lady Miracle, fit right in with Red Robin and Superboy. They were all around the same age group. She and Red Robin, specially bonded over coming up with ridiculous ideas during battles. It didn’t help that her superpower only spurred them on. Stupid polka-doted stuff that made everything more risky. They would come up with ridiculous angles and what not to take down simple villains! Too bad, he loves them. He did, because those mini-heart attacks were never easy on the kryptonian.

I won’t bore you with the fluffy details. This story isn’t about that. The story isn’t about the happily ever after. It’s about what comes after the happily ever after.

So let’s turn up the speed of the story.

Lady Miracle and Red Robin went on a couple of dates, but they decided they were better off as friends. Sometimes, when people have too much in common, it doesn’t fit right. After that Kon finally picked up the courage to ask her out, and it was a whirlwind from there. Happy days, passionate nights (or days, depending on their mood). Meeting the parents. Well Connor’s parents. Lady Miracle’s parents, as she told them, didn’t believe her, and they had a fall out. Something personal she said and they dropped it. Meeting Martha and Jonathan. Meeting Jon. Meeting Lex, Clark and Lois. Her revealing her identity. Her story. Kon getting down on one knee. Both of them, laughing in their wedding pictures. Marinette with their baby boy in her arms. Jon and Tim’s awed faces as they finally held baby Andrew. Tim crying as Kon and Marinette asked him to be the Godfather. It all flew by in a whirlwind.

Their are happily ever after.

Wise men say that there is a definite point, a decision that turns one fates’ around.

And to understand that point, you need to look at the line before and after it.

So, let’s start at normal speed. A few hours before they are happily ever after ended.
