"I'm not doubting Sahashi's feelings, I just ... don't know how to handle them. If I gather my courage and say that I love that guy, will anything change? But what do lovers do?"

that wasn't a yokai that pushed natori and matoba into a room and locked the door that was just a passing fujoshi

Toxic yaoi is over now, and next episode we're getting an upgrade: YURI. with Reiko. Two great things that taste great together. I can't waiiiiit.

When you think about it, Natsume Souseki has an amazing retirement plan...

I mean, who wouldn't want to be a lazy, pampered housecat that occasionally foils villainous schemes to destroy a major city?

It's been really nice lately and I've been hitting the beach, so I need to support that in this game.

Some of my lovely mutuals might know this, but I was born and raised in an East Asian culture, where there is a the strict code of respect and curtesy. Words, conversation can be high-text, and there is alot of reading between the lines.

Although the social codes and the indirectness can be suffocating at times, there is a beauty in the formality.

And I would love to introduce one example.

There is one very famous translation of the phrase, “I love you.” By the Japanese author, Nastume Soseki (1867-1916)

When a young student translated “I love you.” into 君のことを愛しています。(Direct translation of I love you in Japanese) Soseki rejected this translation.

Instead, Soseki translated “I love you,” to

“The moon is quite beautiful tonight,”

Even though this is a product of his time and the culture in the Meji period, it is an incredibly subtle, nuanced translation I can’t help loving.

So when the two couples confess their feeling towards one another, they don’t look at each other but they look up at the same night sky and say,

“The moon is quite beautiful tonight,”

And you are supposed to respond,

“I’ve never seen such a brighter moon than this,”

Which means, “I love you more.”

＊Although now in Japan, this phrase is soooo overused that is becoming a cliche. And really corny. So I definitely do not recommend using this when you are flirting with someone from Japan. Unless you want to impress him/her.

＊Also the rhetorics become increasingly difficult when in comes to rejection.

“Stars are more beautiful than the moon,” means “I’ve got someone else in my mind,”

“The moon is too bright tonight.” would be “Thank you, but you can aim much higher than me,”

“It’s beautiful because you see it from far away,” means “I really don’t have interest in your affections.”

“But the moon isn’t blue,” would be “yeah, you an me? Never going to happen between us.”

I’m rambling on too much.

Anyway, I just really want to see this kind of subtlety on the Benophie season. Benedict can’t straight up declare his love all and mighty back in London at No.5, so it would be lovely if there is a secret code of telling Sophie that he loves her.

A poem, or a certain phase, that makes Sophie blush and tell how ardently Benedict loves her without saying “I love you.”

Just my little thoughts for the season🥰

HI HELLO ITS ME AGAIN DO U HAVE ANY NASTUME SAKASAKI FROM HIT GAME ENSEMBLE STAR

I finished this au design just for you 🥺

[soukokumychildren]

My friend just pointed this out when I paused on a certain time stamp in season two of BSD episode 18, and we noticed fuckin' HILTER exists in this series now? Holy shit??? It was when that one staff member was bringing up tabs to hide the fact she was looking at Nastume the calico cat but...I has questions?

[cadejpeg]

started Nastume’s book of friends yesterday! enjoy it a lot thus far, watched 6 episodes (cried to 2 of them lol)!

can definitely see why people say it’s similar to mushishi!

It’s (so far) feels like a more lightheaded mushishi :-)

r u taking requests rn ?? if so, can i request mika kagehira x gender neutral artist (by that, i mean drawing) idol reader ?? thanks :3

Mika Kagehira x gn artist reader

Au: I'm back y'all. I'll try to finish all the requests since I just finish my finals👍😀

• Since your're an artist, all the outfits and decorations were designed by you.

• Thats what caught Valkyrie's attention but it was first Mika that found out about a new idol group in ES.

• He did some research about you idol group(he was just scouting his competitors lmao)

• Of course as the artist he is, your artistic outfits and backgrounds interested him.

• he also heard about you around the ES building. And asked nastume to send you an anonymous texts to meet up with him😭

• Your first meetings is kinda awkward but bear with him!😭 He's still learning how to be human

"hehhee mry name is Mika wut bout yur?"

You kinda looked at him with a blank face "...what?😀.." he's just soo nervous from interacting with someone new that he can't stop stuttering.(he's so precious💕)

• As artists and having the same interests, y'all get along quickly. He would talk about sewing techniques and how you can get that particular type of ruffle if you do it like this.(and about his oshi-san ofc)

• He's just so sweet that you don't have the heart to tell him to shut up😭

• Would ask you for help in designing Valkyrie's costume. And you would ask him for help in making the outfits. It's a win-win situation🙂

• After getting a little more famous by Valkyrie's credit for you, many other idols starts asking you to design their outfits.

• but even with the busy schedule for both you and Mika, you guys would always find time to meet up and hang out together🤗

• Definitely ask you to collab with Valkyrie. He would say it's to promote your group but in reality he just wanna spend time🥹.

[izumisays]

if you haven’t seen our beautiful collab yet, go go go! in fact go check out all entries at @hexfest celebrating this double scorpio bash!

for those of you who are curious to see the art as WIP, here are a couple of process stages, designed to reflect their dynamics in highschool flashbacks, at the start of the manga (so much drama and knives!) and towards the current chapters (divorce on hold, barging into boardrooms to collect each other and go rescue nastume, wistful little loquats aughrh!) it’s like in her infinite wisdom midorikawa-sensei saw the commotion in the bar, and said softly “here is what you want vs what you need” and our worlds were rocked again.
