#damn that one kanji character looks like shit

[gingergari]

i found this sketch in a similar style to what i had drawn for the first two so you guys get a freebie!

ayata kamoto (下本彪多, kamoto ayata), seat 10 in class 2-b!

quirk: cat’s grace

ayata has claws strong enough to rip through metal! as a bonus, he has the innate ability to almost always land on his feet after a fall.

these are the main quirks, but the most obvious is his catlike appearance. his cat ears are his only set of ears and he can hear and smell to a similar degree to cats. ayata also has a tail not seen here.

(ayata’s hair/fur is white and his eyes are orange)

ayata is not a big fan of crowds but regardless wants to be a role model as a big brother and hero.

ayata has 5 younger siblings. his weak point is intelligence, ranking at 2/5 (D).

I think I found the Japanese equivalent to Comic Sans.

So I've always had trouble reading Japanese on the default windows font, because it was made for a much different kind of monitor where it doesn't look shit. After stealing some shady code off the internet and searching for hours for the perfect font, I chose Zen Kurenaido. It's one of those fonts that roud up everything so there's no sharp edges. I chose it thinking it would cause the same effect as san serif fonts do in the Latin alphabet.

Serif fonts, like this, are ideal for print, because they add sharp edges that do not smudge as easily, meaning it's easier to read. On your display, however, it looks busy and tires the eye, which is why in digital we usually use sans serif, which is rounder and easier to process.

My idea was that I would be able to read Japanese faster if I got rid of the edges and abstracted the characters to their base shape.

It works. However, there is a catch.

It looks godawful.

It looks condescending. It's like it's looking down to me. Moreover, it reminds me of this:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the font, it is objectively very good. It just doesn't feel right. And the problem is, it actually does what I wanted it to do. I can absolutely read Japanese faster and more comfortably now. It is improving my life, it is helping me so much. It just looks so damn goofy.

I can't even respect my kanji of the day extension anymore. It looks like a street sign you hang at the airport so the foreign tourists don't feel intimidated by the language.

But man, subtitles are on easy mode now.

I can actually catch up with the auto captions now. I've never been able to do that before, I just assumed my kanji knowledge was bad, but no, it was just the damn edges making it hard to read. And now I have to live with the fact that this goofy ass font is objectively the best way to read Japanese digitally. I can't ever change it back. I made this hell for myself.

Persona characters as NBA fans

my reasoning for each decision beneath the cut

Celtics/Akechi: Driven by an inhuman amount of spite and need to prove themselves when talent alone is more than enough to do the job. Just an insane amount of homophobic slurs

Nets/Labrys: She has a Brooklyn accent. Don’t overthink it.

Knicks/Ryoji: Say the name of the team out loud. You get it.

76ers/Maruki: “The Process” really was just mass brainwashing if you think about it

Raptors/Kamoshida: No hate to the Raptors organization but they really need to eat crow for letting Drake hitch his wagon to the franchise

Hawks/Ruferu: I don’t know shit about P5X but look at the birdy! Trae Young is also small and annoying,

Hornets/Eikichi: I thought the colors matched. I have never played a Persona game.

Magic/Elizabeth: She thinks the team name is literal. Are you going to tell her otherwise?

Heat/Akihiko: You just know he would be really fucking annoying about “Heat Culture”

Wizards/Yusuke: The hat has cherry blossoms on it and that was enough to shape his rooting interests. I’m enjoying giving him hilariously inept franchises.

Bulls/Erina: Nostalgia is all we have left.

Cavaliers/Haru: Haru is extremely rich and speaks exclusively in Comic Sans, just like Dan Gilbert

Pistons/Junpei: Found out about the “Bad Boy” days and was hooked, only to find out he was born a couple years after that era ended.

Pacers/Ken: Young and surprisingly potent on offense, just needs a few years to toughen up a bit

Bucks/Ohya: beer

Mavericks/Izanami: An unfairly powerful being, capable of manipulating the truth, who must be defeated swiftly. But enough about Miriam Adelson

Rockets/Lisa: She’s an enormous Sinophile so you know damn well she latched onto Yao Ming and never let go

Grizzlies/Kanji: “Uh, hell yeah! Grit n’ grind! Whoop that trick! Be a man!” (actually he just really wants to feel Grizz’s fur)

Pelicans/Chie: You cannot convince me that Chie Satonaka is not a pelican herself.

Spurs/Takemi: A color scheme favorable to goths, a history of solid fundamentals, and a total freak on the up-and-up. Victor Wembanyama is over two feet taller than her.

Nuggets/Yukiko: She just keeps picking the good ones man idk what to tell you

Timberwolves/Koromaru: dogy :) 

Thunder/Nanako: Youngest team in the NBA gets everyone’s favorite baby sister

Trail Blazers/Adachi: I like making him suffer with these

Jazz/Teddie: You’d think it’s because he’s the whitest boy imaginable but he read the “Personal Life” section of Karl Malone’s Wikipedia page and was inspired

Warriors/Sophia: If Silicon Valley gets its way, every Warriors fan will be replaced by an AI by 2035

Clippers/Metis: Perpetual younger sibling syndrome. May not actually exist

Lakers/Shido: He’s been courtside at every home game since 1985. You never noticed?

Suns/Konoe: Eternally at the mercy of the whims of an arrogant tech bro when an AI would probably do a better job

Kings/Yosuke: I like giving him moribund franchises but he’s actually picking up some W’s lately. Good for him!

[emeyuko]

Unpopular opinion:

I won't try to justificate Yosuke's weird homophobic comments but i have smth to say

I think after rewatching some scenes, i would say that Yosuke after the whole camping trip, Yosuke feels bad for he said to Kanji and was trying to fixing that up

Something that people tends to forget, is that Yosuke has hidden dialogue like this around the game, pretty much after the camping trip BUT it's true that he still says stuff like "oh look, a random pretty guy, he sure is good looking, right Kanji ;)" but i feel like, knowing Yosuke and all of this stuff he says, this is mostly him trying to be ""supportive"" and cheerful friendly teasing he usually does, Kanji obviously doesn't like this, bc the whole point of Kanji's character is that he isn't gay (i won't get into the argument, i will just say that see him as fully gay instead of bisexual or smth is completely missing the point of his character arc) this boy haven't spent half of his life getting called that and being afraid of being himself so his own damn friend starts throwing salt in the wound, but besides him getting mad at him, he never told him directly what was his actual problem with those comments, yeah, i know Yosuke ain't stupid, but he's the kind of person that need to tell him something straight to his face to make him know you are fr.

And yeah, i do believe is that this whole situation is a mix between yosuke being a closeted bisexual that is projecting hard onto Kanji like we know he canonically can relate to him in the scene where Kanji opens up to the group (and like how he always forces "pretty boys" on him when Kanji never showed interest), how he's obviously scared bc this game happends in 2011 and LGTB stuff was still a sore subject specially in japan and how he feels bad for what he said to him at certain point bc hello??? Kanji is his friend and we damn know they're pretty close, he just didn't thought clearly what he's saying to him and how it clearly affected him

It's pretty noticeable when Yosuke does bad shit on proupose, but i dont believe this is one of them

Trigun Bookclub: Trigun Vol.1, Chapter #05

previous | all | next

CW: Some of my analysis in this post handles the topic of death and suicide (there will be a warning around that portion). There are also more spoilers than usual. Stay safe!

I’m doing a deep-read of the Japanese original print (reread) and Overhaul 1.0 (first read) side-by-side, and writing down everything I notice from small details, version differences, translation differences, etc.

As always, here are the silly silly non-analysis panels:

And the rest is under the cut >:)

[link for if the images aren’t in horizontal rows]

Milly and Meryl (especially Milly goddamn) rolling nat 20's on their perception checks. It really is scary how good their sixth sense is.

In the previous chapter, Vash asked for (and for a while was using) a 3rd class seat, but it looks like he asked for a grade-up or something to accomodate for Kaito.

A sort-of mistranslation - Kaito means that Vash talks as if he were someone from the Big Fall (because in that time period, there's no way any human from then would be alive), so it should be more like "You talk as if you were actually at the Big Fall, over a hundred years ago." The existing phrasing could also mean that, but this would make it less ambiguous. Also, I would replace his "I/my" statements with "we/our," since it's not specified and he assumes Vash is just a human that's talking weirdly.

This line is really interesting to me from a rereading standpoint. At this point, Vash's origins and age are still a mystery, and this is the first hint at it. Vash's expression makes me think that maybe he was reminded that no one other than him (+Knives+the people at the Home ship) is from that time period. To the overwhelming majority of people, No Man's Land is their only home; this life is all they know.

Don't have much to say about this one that's not in the image. Vash's pussy is out again. Excellent (horrible) form. Kaito is either a bit worried about how hard he fell, or he doesn't give a shit and is just nervous/cautious about the mission.

I love how over-the-top neon is. Smoking a firework!! Damn!!

A decent amount of lines from Neon and the BL gang (I'm going to call them that exclusively) are in katakana English.

I like how he says "maggots" in place of the...rude 3rd person pronoun (??)(that sounds kinda stupid in english lmao) Neon says something more like "It's about time that boy set everything up!!" referring to the small bombs he was putting in the vents.

His pose here reminds me of kabuki. I'm not sure about details, since I don't know much about kabuki... But it looks like a stereotypical kabuki pose. Another over-the-top point for Neon.

In Japanese, the first line has "reeking of manure" describing the wagons. For the "Big Man" in Japanese, the kanji for the sandsteamer (砂蒸気, usually ruby-ed サンドスチーム/sandsteamer) with the ruby note saying Big Man (ビッグ・マン). Also, the guy mentions that the chasing them off is part of the fee they paid.

More over-the-top-ness from Neon. In the Japanese version, the first line looks a lot like one of those super long German words to me lol (究極華麗弩級盗賊). The portion saying "The Bad Lads Gang!" in Japanese is pretty much just "Hhhhhheaaaddd!!!!" (as in leader).

The introduction for Neon actually has play on words/kanji. The word 降臨 (kōrin) is originally for Christ's coming or descent, usually used for any arrival of someone "godly" (fyi Japanese has a much more casual sense of godliness than in English). What it says here, though, is 光臨, which replaces the first hald with the character for "light" (also kō). How bright can this guy get!?

Did Kaito nicely go through the trouble of moving Vash onto the bed before venting? how... that's a grown man...

And here is Rem's first appearance!! Just now realized that her name is probably based off of REM sleep (the stage of sleep associated with dreaming). The two are wearing similar (but not the same) clothes, with Rem wearing a tucked t-shirt and jeans, and Vash wearing an untucked button-up and jeans. I'm not smart enough for this but there's gotta be something to analyze here along with the fact that Vash is an adult (the dream isn't entirely based on memory)... Also, this is the first time we see Vash in a casual outfit.

This may very well be me reading into things too much, but it stuck out to me that Rem is barefoot while Vash has sneakers on. I had two speculations about this. One is that Rem has been at that picnic for longer than Vash, and Vash just got (appeared...?) there. I'm not sure about Western picnic customs/etiquette, but in Japan, you always take your shoes off when sitting down on the tarp. Rem is the one that set the picnic up, but Vash hasn't had the chance to even take his shoes off. this sounds kinda stupid now that im typing it out. idek (throws computer out of window) [death/sui cw] The other, more messed up one is that it symbolizes Rem's death. This one is definitely more overanalysis-y!! It reminded me of what Reigen did during the final arc of MP100...iykyk. During the Great Fall, Rem willingly stayed on the ship to save humanity, sacrificing herself. I'll spare the details, but in Japanese culture, people often take their shoes off before committing suicide. It's a frequently used symbol in art that handles the topic. Rem being barefoot may be symbolizing her resolve at the time of her death, of being prepared to die if it means she can save one more person. [/cw]

did i write all that for a single panel. this aut really be isming OH MY GOD MY COMPUTER JUST RAN OUT OF BATTERY I HAD A HEART ATTACK. I FORGOT IT WASNT PLUGGED IN HOLY SHIT THANK GOD FOR AUTOSAVE.

This line of Vash's is also interesting. Is he viewing "people" from an outsider's perspective, as an independent Plant? Or is including himself in that, questioning the meaning of his own current life in the desert planet, too?

In Japanese. way he responded to Rem's giggling looked a bit childish to me, like he reverted a bit back to his childhood, or he's just being a more relaxed around Rem. mom........

Ok okokok. In Japanese, she (more literally) says "All I can muster/the best I can do is ask my heart [the destination] (read: what I can do)." This may be a translation correction but I honestly was not thinking about that at all during the annotation lol. I'm too sleepy to actually talk about the importance of this line and the way it's phrased. but you get it. you get it.........

Silly Vash face for the first time in a while!! Vash's reaction upon waking gives me the impression that this is the first time (in a long while, at least) that he's dreamed about Rem...? he looks so cute..........................help...................

And that’s it for Chapter #05! As always, the Japanese annotations are in the reblogs.

i know i'm getting very behind. theres absolutely no way im going to complete all this in real time with the book club. and all this stuff about rem is not helping. send help

[authorofthemoon]

Persona 3 update mostly on the story. I just got Aeigis and as a unit she's interested. Very focused on two things which are buffs and AOE physical damage. However her versatility is low so hopefully she gets better skills later. I didn't expect to get her this early I thought she was the last one we get like. Personality wise she's okay. Standard robot character so far but I'm sure her story gets crazy.

But what I really want to talk about is the characters of P3 and how it's really good at giving them their own agency. At first I was very disappointed that characters didn't get their personas through a self revelation like 4 and 5 and that their social links are way more of a barrier, but I get now it's bc they put more time putting their character development into the actual story instead of social links.

I think Yukari might be my favorite Persona character which man it's hard putting her over Ryuju, Kanji, and Mishima but damn she's up there. Her telling everyone off was chefs kiss to be honest. Dont get me wrong I adore Akihiko and Kirijo and I'm not necessarily saying they deserved to get yelled at like that. But Yukari definitely deserved to pop off. And the scene with her on the beach is great. The fact that she's like there's nothing you can say that will make it go away is just great. Again she's the most normal persona but her determination to do go snooping and finding out the truth is just so badass.

Moving onto Junpei my sweet sweet boy. I understand he's an insecure boy who just wants to feel respected and lovef and worth something but that doesn't mean I wanna go around hitting on women that I have no interest in. But I digress. I love his little arc after the love hotel where he just feels such visible content. I felt bad bc I do like Junpei and I hated him being mad even if it wasn't my fault. But it very sweet tbh after the erealizesnthst he's the problem he genuinely goes 'sorry I've been a dick' and we're good but I get the sense that feeling of resentment isn't over. It seems like a common theme in the Magician arcana.

I need to know what went down with Akihiko and Shinji. Also apparently Kirijo gonea through some intense shit too. They're still shrouded in so much mystery in such an intriguing way and seeing them both open up slowly is very sweet. Also I didn't expect Kirijos dad to be so nice I was expecting a Haru situation.

Fuuka is very funny and her willingness to hack into a major corporation is peak. Again I love her own agenda is just not wanting to stay with her parents.

Again, I love that everyone has their own agenda that makes more internal conflict. The P4 and P5 groups all shared the same goal so most conflict was external and very rarely did personal character development happen outside of their persona awakening or social links.

Also looks like I was pretty accurate in my analysis of the protag and that he's just vwry quiet and calm. He's a good leader, but socially he doesn't say much. So I'm more lenient with him being not as expressive as Yu and Akira if that is in fact his character. Yu comes off as very empathetic and a bit more extroverted (from what I remember it's been a while since I've played 4 and 5 and ofc player choices matter) and Ren comes off as introverted but with a silly side along with a strong sense to help others.

But yeah quickish analysis of the my P3 experience. Could possibly become my favorite solely for Yukari.

[arcplaysgames]

whbat in the absolute fuck

look at her fucking pose in the gameplay, what is this.

WHY IS THIS SUCH A TROPE? Like how come out of the three Persona games I know enough to speak to, all three of them have Sexy Teacher Who Is Wildly Inappropriate With Students? What the fuck. I'm uncomfortable. How did we get rid of Mister "everyone in this room is a slut destroying our society" and have not by default gone up in the world? goddammit.

I cannot help but assume that's the point. The shadows are getting more and more rowdy in each dungeon, the news of the channel is spreading, like.... that has to be part of the point.

Naoto shows up to let everyone know there is a prime suspect that the cops are trying to apprehend, but in doing so shoves his fucking foot so far in his mouth his stomach is chewing on louis vuitton

fucking GET HIM

like for real, Naoto, dial down the condescending bullshit about 25% bruh

LITERALLY THE BEST CHARACTER. he is just-- look. you are allowed to laugh at me. go ahead. the comparison to Akihiko is very funny to me. Two lightning bruisers, but Akihiko funnels all of his energy into tending to the temple of his body until he's acting like vegetables will personally slit his throat in his sleep, vs Kanji, who has like the same power and energy profile but doesn't have an outlet for it yet so he keeps doing funny outbursts that don't make sense even to him.

Lightning boys!!!! Who is lightning in P5 and are they this good? I hope so.

also look at his facepalm while studying. best boy. Also in his social link, we met a little boy sad about losing his "friend's" rabbit doll, and Kanji went looking for it and now plans to make the boy another one. LOVE.

Maxing out Yosuke's SLink. Buddy, I don't know if punching you will fix you but if you want me to try, by golly.

PICTURED: Two fucking idiots.

OH SNAP THE ULTIMATE PERSONA IS LOCKED TO SLINKS? OH DAMN. I will miss Jiraiya and their awesome scarf. The locomotion of their spin has always brought me joy. But I'm hyped for Ultraman Buzzsaw Hulahooper.

So that was Magician! I.... am still not sold on Yosuke as the Magician honestly? I really liked his arc and the simmering anger and learning to deal with grief and coming to terms. But it's not very Magician-y at all? Eh whatever. Not everyone can be Junpei.

Sometimes, I don't have to look up these answers because I have a specific knowledge set and it includes weird card knowledge.

Rise is really compelling and funny. She's down to earth! She also will just get a translator! She's fun.

C H I E. DON'T JUST TELL PEOPLE THAT!

This game is like.... very good at portraying teenage immaturity. Like, everyone is generally a decent person until they're kind of a little shit about something or other. They're all very likeable but the maturity gap with SEES is really stark, yanno? Everyone in SEES was a traumatized kid who had already been through shit BEFORE they got their gun-shaped Superpower Launchers. the P4 team is just. dumb kids! with powers!

but really chie don't tell people kanji is queer, for fuck's sake girl

LOVERS SOCIAL LINK: GET! I ain't saying shit about how someone doesn't seem like Lovers, I learned my lesson.

However. One thing, another point of comparison from P3P-- I somehow doubt that Rise would do the Lovers thing with someone other than Reverie like Yukari did with Mitsuru. With the exception of Chie and Yukiko, it feels like everyone's most important relationship is with the MC, not with other characters.

I do feel very sad about that. Akihiko and Ken had Shinjiro, Yukari and Mitsuru had each other. Fuuka and Junpei arguably were closest to FeMC, but they weren't islands. Junpei and Akihiko were frequently in their own little scenes, and Fuuka had that with Junpei and Shinjiro as well.

With the P4 team, everyone orbits around the MC. Which isn't bad. It's fine. But it also loses something, you know?

The police still haven't actually gotten ahold of their suspect, and Nanako gets scared and runs over to sit by Reverie. God, that's crushing. Do you ever think about Nanako pre-P4? How much fucking time did she spend alone? God, I hate Dojima.

MEANWHILE, I DON'T KNOW WHY THE GAME KEEPS GIVING ME FLIRTATIOUS OPTIONS WITH ADACHI BUT I AM GOING TO KEEP CHOOSING THEM LIKE THIS IS HATOFUL BOYFRIEND AND I'M HITTING ON SHUU I GUESS? What is this. Why was I able to invite him to dinner????

anyway its FINALLY SUMMER VACATION TIME!

Everyone is making plans to go to the beach! Which leads to a very important question.

Thank you Persona 4 for giving me the best possible options.

Also, Yosuke, I'm gay. It's that simple, homeboy.

...... Kanji, are you.... related to anyone from Iwatodai? Wait no that's impossible, Akihiko is literally an orphan. But still: lightning bruiser boys who want hydrodynamic swimsuits is a Type I guess??????

Chapter 214: Fearsome Womb, Part 6

// SPOILER WARNING!!! DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE CHAPTER YET.

/// Next week, JJK will be featured on the cover of WSJ Issue #14, and it also gets a Lead Color Page and the 3rd Popularity Poll, to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the series' serialization!

–

Opening words: “Sukuna "pretends" Fushiguro has returned, and attacks Hana!”

》 Meguna/Sukumi: "What [the hell] is going on..?"

(Left panel)

》 Meguna/Sukumi: "Right. This brat is from back then.."

As previously mentioned, each time you see Sukuna says "boy" for Yuuji, it's actually "brat" 'cause he's always a rude mf to our baby.

(Right panel)

》 Meguna/Sukumi: "Kenjaku, you bastard.. always doing the nastiest/sickest shit!"

What I've offered is just my personal interpretation, 'cause yeah... Sukuna. The actual translation is literally just "That damn/mf Kenjaku always doing the nastiest/sickest things." You could also say, "That damn/mf Kenjaku is nasty/sick/twisted."

》 Meguna/Sukumi: "Well, if you ask me [for my opinion]..."

The actual translation for the right panel is "if you ask me..." so this one's a slightly better way of wording it to follow up with Sukuna's next statement: "Why are you all so weak?" I'd also like to add that by "you all", Sukuna just means the humans, in general.

》 Meguna/Sukumi: "[You're all] creatures that crumble to the dust at the slightest touch. How can you say things like you wish to be happy forever and such..?"

Official translations worded the whole thing differently but the message is somewhat there, I guess..? My translation might be off too but I think it's understandable.

(Left panel)

Just a note that the kanji used for "misery" in this chapter was 不幸 (fukō), which also means unhappiness, suffering or misfortune, but the furigana in this dialogue reads おれ (ore) which means I, or me. Officials opted to go with "THIS" and in bold, which isn't wrong 'cause that's essentially referring to Yuuji as the misery.

Additionally, I don't know if "stifle" is the appropriate word but the raws was 「 噛み潰す」. The kanji 噛 comes from the verb 噛む (kamu) which means bite or chew, whereas 潰 means crush, ruin or break. I think the suitable word here could be literally "chew up", or perhaps "swallow" (like in swallow your pride) - instead of stifle.

(Right panel)

》 Meguna/Sukumi: "Come at me."

I know how Yuuji was gonna move towards Meguna/Sukumi right after this, but the latter never literally said "come closer" ahaha. It was more of "come at me" or "try me" that sort of thing.

》 Meguna/Sukumi's thoughts: "My cursed energy output is falling..."

Closing words: “Fushiguro also fights back from within!!”

—

Comments: As always, I never claimed to be a professional translator. My JP understanding is still amateurish but I hope yall will allow me to share my own insights on certain dialogues just so we can learn and understand each other's interpretations, and also to correct wherever I may be wrong. Thank you!

I'm absolutely looking forward to the 3rd Character Popularity Poll! Please make it international just like SAKAMOTO DAYS and NARUTOP99 polls! International fans need to vote too!!!

[keirou-kun]

y'know what, fuck it. Because I feel like it. Some of my tags probably seem random AF to anyone who's looking at them, and I like the stories behind them so I'mma tell some of them and you can't fucking stop me because this is my blog and I do what I want around here.

But I’ll at least shove it under a cut bc it’s longish XD if you want to know about a tag I didn’t mention, there’s an askbox somewhere around here owo

General Tags: Audible Emotion is my music tag, because I have said for almost four decades that music is what emotions sound like.

So Let It Be Written is my positivity tag, because gdi we need this shit and it felt right to use that even if some of the positive stuff in there isn't actually written or a wish, it's just positive, feel-good shit.

Ship Tags: Gunblade, because at one point I think that was the actual ship name for them. Yes I was a Homestuck. No I am not ashamed of this fact. The fandom was a trash fire but the story was damn fucking good.

I Know, because that is one of the rawest, most emotional replies you could give in that context to someone confessing their love and to this day I adore the fact that that was Harrison's idea to say rather than have Han tell Leia he loves her too. Also it just defines their entire relationship.

Shadowed Flame, because Hughes is Roy's shadow and also it sounds damned poetic, fight me.

Mirrors of Wisdom because I stole it from a friend after 'And they were roommates' got old XD And because they are. Haitham himself admits that Kaveh is his perfect mirror [though naturally never to Kaveh's face XD]

Fox and Hound because well -gestures at them- Tighnari is a fox, Cyno is Anubis-coded and his constellation is 'Lupus Aureus' which translates roughly to 'Golden Wolf', I mean come on.

Raining Fire because of Ayato's Burst making it rain in an AOE effect and Thoma being a Pyro user. Also it sounds pretty and it's a very evocative phrase.

Hurricane because I mean have you met them? Anemo plus Hydro with Electro = Storm.

Disarm because of an old Wolfwood AMV set to the song of the same name by the Smashing Pumpkins and, honestly? The more I see of the pair the more that song fucking fits them and it hurts.

Persona Non Grata because I think I'm funny. It's also a dig at Akechi that my Joker would 100% use.

Cross-stitch because that's the actual ship name for them and it's still funny almost ten years later.

Character Tags: Stay Frosty because it just sounds like something Kaeya would say, the smartass.

Hydro Bastard Man because that's what I've been calling Tartaglia for ages and it amuses me.

Anemo Twerp because he's a fucking twerp. Also he uses Anemo, but mostly he's a fucking twerp XD

Stranger in a Strange Land because A: I love the way it sounds and always have, and B: it's what he is.

Little Lost Firefly, because in Japanese her name is Hotaru. Which means Firefly. [His name is Sora, for Sky, if you're curious]

Himboni because well, have you met Itto?

Fallen Captain because it is 100% how he sees himself and I can't think of anything better for Dain. I'm working on it.

Cousin Keiji because my personal P5 Protag is named Keiji, and my sibling's friendgroup has this thing where all their Protags are related [generally various iterations of sibling-hood] so I just declared mine to be a cousin since his last name is Kyouraku rather than either canonical one. Thus, Cousin Keiji.

Wisteria Warrior because one of the kanji in Saitou's name translates to 'Wisteria', and I think it suits Hakuouki!Saitou.

Eyes of Sky because have you seen Gojou Satoru's eyes? They are unfair to the extreme. Also I couldn't think of anything better.

SHSL Average Joe because have you met Hinata Hajime? He's so mediocre he'd get an Honorable Mention at a mediocrity competition. And he knows it.

[blueempty]

I'm cheating today cuz i didnt go outside but my partner did and she sat on a rock and took this

She likes to go for big long drives on her three day weekends and she always gets to go see cool stuff. I'll probably go with her sometime soon. I'm missing out on years of my life because full time employment is beating my head in with a brick

Be that as it may I wasnt fully lazy today. I played more Splats but I also dusted the inside of my PC and cleaned up my whole desk area. It doesnt look too different but it feels a little less cluttered. I dont really know what to say again cuz like the past 3 days Ive gotten to sit down and post I've been like incapacitated by sleepiness

I guess the other thing I did was last night before bed I read the first chapter of Delicious in Meshi's Dungeon. The story all about Meshi and his Dungeon. I've been meaning to read it for a bit but SOMEONE I know just read the whole thing and I was like damn I should do that too. I'm still working my way through Mao but that shit is weird. I like all the characters but like nothing ever happens lol. It's been kinda in a lull for a while where like things are occuring but its just like the book is saying "and then this happened" and I go "okay" and then something else happens. Its very strange. But I gotta read Dungeon Meshi so I can get current on that Kagura🅱️achi. Thats where the real FOOD is. Im only half joking Kagurabachi kinda whips sack so far

But the other other thing besides reading was I did my first like, lesson quiz on my japanese app and got a one hundo. Its just the greetings thing but for some reason for the past few months I just have not been able to retain shit from the actual lesson part. Like I learned hajimemashita, and I'm like okay got it, and then they go douzo yoroshiku and i'm like you lost me I cant process information anymore. I have no idea why. Its like my aversion to school is so strong I cant do any form of lesson at all anymore. Even after passing the quiz I dont know if I remember that one lesson I've been on for months. I need normal pills

But todays kanji is 子 (こ ko). Its one that I'm familiar with from chinese cuz its used in their word for girl. I know that kanji is in japanese too but I dont know what its called. Perhaps information will be revealed to me over time

Peace and Long Life

one piece chapter 42! i am emotionally invested! help me!

don't like the taste of a little clownmeat, eh?

so now we're officially out on the sea! and

it looks bad!

hehe. love these guys

ngl thats pretty based usopp. rare usopp w

AIRHORNS AIRHORNS AIRHORNS AIRHORNS

so everyone flops over for a second to relax besides luffy, of course, because he needs to do something silly or he'll immediately die.

KABEWM

ok... i guess that settles that

oh boy, i know what theyre alluding towards! exciting! except

i think we *should* have a musician.

uh... unsure if this is a choice the editors made or if the original japanese did say something to this effect...

side note i have as of the moment because this has been on my mind anyway: i just discovered in the icarly episode where they go to japan, they have two actors play japanese people who, long story short, neither of them speak japanese, and the dialogue they have in the language is not only very clearly generated by 2007's google translate, but rather than use the word "baka" ("idiot") one of the characters calls the other what is basically the japanese version of the r slur, and in fact that episode can't air in japan uncensored for this reason. isn't that some shit?

anyway.

oh fuck dude, tommy braces-and-headgear is gonna absolutely wreck our shit with his very comically oversized and stupidly shaped knife!

he has the kanji for "ocean" covering half of his face... okay, that's a choice

partner?

like...?

like partner partner, or...?

is this one of your buddies from the gay bar on homosexual island?

anyway, headgear mcOceanface explains that his buddy yosaku is sick and so he let him relax on top of a big rock.

you know. the one we just fired at?

didn't you just threaten to kill us? i don't think you actually believe what you're saying, bro.

anyway, time for nami to be the only competent one here.

WOAH, THIS IS SO PIRATECORE

SCURVY!!!

so nami explains how scurvy works, and apparently in-universe this is also regarded as what should be common knowledge to anybody who wants to be a pirate

aaaand yosaku is instantly healed all thanks to some limes, so, we've only got some mild basis in realism here, don't worry. lol

oh my god, dad, put some damn pants on, my friends are over! you're embarrassing meeeeee!!!

shit, just kidding, the realism hit him hard!!

so with that weird little experience, now we have...

...a very clear set goal to... go get sanji. can i just be frank? now we have a reason to go get sanji.

lol

this chapter ends off with a little q&a segment-- i only want to highlight this here

holy shit. acknowledgement of the constant do---n!!

wow, i feel validated!

well that was a goofy but good chapter! the adventure just keeps ramping up!

closing thoughts:

get your vitamin c, kids!

tenjiku falling for a female rokkie in their gang🤭🤭.like maybe they saw you punched someone for being disrespectful to you.hc pleasee

♡ Tenjiku falling for the rookie ♡

Characters : Kurokawa Izana, Haitani Ran, Haitani Rindou, Sanzu Haruchiyo, Muto Yasuhiro, Madarame Shion, Hitto Kakucho, Mochizuki Kanji, Hanma Shuji, Kisaki Tetta, Kokonoi Hajime & F!reader

Genre : Crack

Warnings : None

A/n : Sorry for the delay sweet anon ! Idk why but the entire time I was writing this I had the "A quién le estás diciendo shut up tu ? A mí me estás diciendo shut up tu ?" video in my head 😭 Thank you for requesting and have a nice day ♡

"Yo look ! That's Tenjiku's new slut !"

He did not just say that, did he ? 🗿

He was the leader of a lame gang that had always tried to pick a fight with Tenjiku for some reason

You were tired of being looked down on because you were a girl

That's why when Izana moved, you called him and smiled softly

"I got this," you said

And damn right you did

You took that mf down in a matter of three strong punches

"Who's next ?" you asked

"S-sorry !" one of them yelled

They took their leader and left

But you've made a great impression on the others

None of them would admit it but you looked better than you ever did when you punched the other guy

Added to that, you were strong, really strong, and smart

But as you were still facing away from them, the Tenjiku boys looked at each others and they noticed

They noticed how each one of them suddenly developed a crush on you

They didn't want to talk about it at first

1) It'd be awkward

2) As an official Tenjiku member, you were always there

Yet one day you called sick, Shion seized the opportunity

"Y'all better back down, Y/n's mine."

"She's not yours, you dumbfuck," Rindou stated

"She's a human being, she's nobody's property," his brother Ran completed

"Yeah, epecially not yours and your stupid braids."

It was silent for a moment, all of them waiting for the next move, it was rare to hear Sanzu talk

"What did you say you little pink shit ?"

As they kept on bickering, Mochi said :

"Even if you're right Sanzu, Y/n will never notice your silent ass. And you, Rindou, you're invisible behind your brother. Don't you all know the saying 'The moon is beautiful tonight' ? If there's someone she can fall in love with it's me. My last name literally means "full moon". It perfectly fits."

"It's perfectly full of shit yeah," Hanma laughed, "You sound so fucking stupid man."

"That's big coming from you, Hanma. Y/n deserves someone that can actually take care of her and you're not suited for that."

"Because you think you're suited for that Kakucho," Muto asked, "You're still a kid. And isn't Izana the only love of your life ?"

"Well, do you think she'd like an adult that enjoys beating up some kids," Kisaki said, cleaning his glasses

"And you think she'd like a manipulative bastard ?" Kokonoi chuckled

"Everybody shut up !" Izana yelled

They were now all looking at him in silence

Until Shion broke it

"Now way..." he mumbled, "Don't tell me you like her too."

"Huh ? Don't be stupid Shion."

But they all saw it when he turned, they all saw the beginning of his blush

None of them talked about this matter ever again, they didn't want to fight each other

However, you noticed some changes at the next Tenjiku meeting

Izana smiled at you for the first time

Shion said less bullshit than usual

Sanzu offered two sentences

Ran wore his hair down

Rindou wasn't with his brother

Kisaki wasn't staring at everybody like the devil

Hanma tried to laugh softly, sounded like a pig in agony

Mochi asked you if you liked the moon, that was surprising

Kakucho asked you from time to time if you needed something

Kokonoi offered to pay your ride back home, which you kindly declined saying you had a bus card

Muto straight up went to you and said : "I don't enjoy beating up kids. You know that, right ?" 💀

Yes, they wouldn't ever talk about it again

But would they give up on courting you ?

No.

❀ THAT’S MY TRAUMA | TOKYO REVENGERS ( ft. jjk )

🥛 — ft. baji keisuke, hanemiya kazutora & sano shinichiro

🧾 — female reader, second pov ( you / your ), pov: baji keisuke, canon divergence, jujutsu kaisen au, crack treated seriously, reader has issues, everyone has issues, mild angst, canonical character death, mention or suicide, everyone lives / nobody dies, cursing, canon-typical violence, eventual happy ending

���  — god, this was requested like a year and so ago but i just disappeared from the face of the earth more than half a year ago and just watched jjk earlier this year so lmao. literally just returned because it’s shin’s death anniversary and i found this in my drafts

🔖 — title

Tokyo is suspicious as shit.

But in all honesty, all of Japan is suspicious as shit.

Baji Keisuke had never been one for the news, it bored him. He probably should attempt to listen but... Well, he'll try tomorrow. (That tomorrow always never comes and Keisuke forgets about such thoughts soon enough.) Despite not being that updated, he is well aware of the amount of mysterious deaths that happens around Japan.

He can confidently tell anyone that it isn't because of the gangs running rampant around Tokyo after one Sano Shinichiro paved a path for a whole new generation a few years back.

Deaths in gang wars were rare. Murder had always been too much. It was usually by accident when it did happen and perpetrators had always been arrested. It's their pride that sends them into turning themselves in. Keisuke had hoped to do the same if he ever gets pushed to do the same.

Alongside its rarity, deaths in gang wars were usually counted by one digit. Specifically, the number one. Keisuke can tell you that that one is absolutely nothing compared to the thousands of mysterious deaths.

He had never been a fan of the cult but my god did it get his blood running. He's going to dig shit up and boast about it to Mikey. Probably drag Kazutora along as well, he seems like someone who'll enjoy it.

On August 14 of 2003, Keisuke found an answer to these suspicious numbers and also saw someone die for the first time... And then got revived. That man being Sano Shinichiro, Mikey’s very own older brother. (God damn was that shit traumatizing as hell.)

Keisuke loved Mikey. That dude was crazy but that dude was also his brother. So with Kazutora, he got Mikey what he always wanted: the CB250T.

Somehow, along with the said motorbike, Keisuke and Kazutora ended up gifting Mikey the corpse of his brother as well. (That was what he thought until the second plot twist started and Keisuke went spiraling into insanity and Kazutora looked a mix of relieved, guilty, and sick.)

So there it was. A corpse stood below Kazutora and it just dawned on him what Keisuke said. Mikey's brother.

He feels like puking. The metallic smell of blood is disgusting and the sound of the wrench dropping on the floor drums on Keisuke's head.

Four words spin in his head, round and round like a merry-go-round or a ferris wheel, or even the way his head spins when confronted with an unfamiliar kanji character. It occupied his thoughts as his steps shook like his breath did, treading closer to Kazutora who looked at his blood stained hands and the blood stained floor and- oh god, the blood was everywhere. Keisuke didn’t like the color red.

(Kazutora killed Mikey's brother. Kazutora killed Mikey's brother. Kazutora killed Mikey's brother. Kazutora killed Mikey's brother.)

Keisuke held him, he was shaking far worse than Baji was. There were tears in his eyes and Keisuke was sure that there was in his too.

Keisuke would be going down with Hanemiya Kazutora, no matter what. This is the burden that they will share, the responsibility that will always be on their shoulders. He's going to risk it all and confess, step forward to his crime. Because Keisuke is his mother’s son and this is the right thing to do.

A thought runs around his head, haunting him like ghosts of cats that he never got to save. Would he have cared the same way if the person that died in front of him wasn't Sano Shinichiro?

(Baji Keisuke himself would think no with horror, sick of his own immoral thoughts. Everyone else would have said yes because Baji Keisuke is an angel walking on earth with a gruff exterior but also the most loving and caring being in this very existence. Keisuke would never believe them.)

That familiar ring of cops never felt so terrifying until now.

Kazutora is losing his mind. Keisuke already decided where he will be going, even if it means letting his best friend blame Mikey. Even if it means giving it all up just for him.

"Shinichiro, did you take my lighter?"

The voice echoes at the empty store, sounding louder than the nearing inevitable cops. Keisuke hadn't even heard a jingle of keys, an opening of the door, or even any footsteps. But when he looked back, a woman stood there. Sharp eyes, messy hair, eyebags as if she hadn't slept in the last three days.

This is it.

Kazutora whimpers and Keisuke holds him tighter. It's going to be alright. We'll be together. I will never leave you behind.

His gaze met with yours. Suddenly, the room smelled different. Smoke filled his nose even though there was no obvious presence of it, covering up the smell of blood.

They are both met with surprise. Keisuke could just not believe the words that left your lips as you held a disgusted expression, hands still on your pocket.

"Oh my god, did this asshole really decide to die in front of two kids? What the fuck, Shin? That's fucking traumatizing."

Kazutora shops shivering and Keisuke chokes. The boy with gold as his eyes looked at you and you noticed the one with the hairstyle like an octopus had the same horrified look. “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him about this,” you replied as if it was the easiest thing to say.

This time, Keisuke is full-on sobbing because there is an insane woman talking insane things and being an insane person in general as you finally kneel down in front of the bleeding man (and fuck, the blood is getting on your knees). Purple energy gathers around your hands and smoothly flows into the corpse in front of you and Keisuke fears that he, as well, is going insane.

It might be the trick of the lighting or his soul failing him but Keisuke swore that the blood on the floor was slowly cleaning itself and Shinichiro’s face was getting less and less paler.

It was quick work for you, but the mental trauma that you also inflicted on the two kids was not going to be quick work at all.

When dark abyss-like eyes suddenly blink open, bleary but obviously alive, and a twitch of the hand before the corpse sit up, Kazutora vomited everything that was in his stomach even though there was barely anything to puke out.

When Shinichiro looks at Keisuke and coughs and asks, “Keisuke? What happened?,” Keisuke proceeds to follow Kazutora’s actions.

When Shinichiro stares down at his clothes and hands soaked with blood, turns his head and sees you, he understands.

You roll your eyes at him, crossing your arms.

The siren just grows louder and you can only wonder how to clean up the blood before the police busts open the doors.

Talking About The 1997 JJBA Rip Off Comic “DIESEL”

So DIESEL is an rip off comic book made 1997 that had one issue released. It’s such a clone of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure that it even calls Stand users “Stand users”.

I find this comic book to be fascinating because it really shows off how JoJo’s premise only succeeded like it did because of Hirohiko Araki’s personal touch, talents, and style.

To speak on Diesel, there’s just something dull and boring about it. The characters and Stands are too mundane and they really don’t have that swag that draws you to them.

I’ll be real it’s just boring to read. Something about it feels messing.

There is something boring about seeing a lumberjack looking Jotaro Kujoh type characters who’s “Stand” is just a blue hawk.

It just don’t inspire me to want to see more.

Seeing this shit really puts into perspective how important the style of Hirohiko Araki is to JoJo’s success.

I wouldn’t say I read jojo just for the style (I like the story) but Araki art and style is a cornerstone to jojo.

As you can see from Diesel, if you remove the personality and style of Araki out of jojo, you’re left with something that’s plain and uninteresting.

DIESEL was made by people who just read superhero comics, read jojo and thought that they could translate that over.

Turns out, you can’t. Because the style, influence and artistic make up of jojo is opposite of what’s common in American comic books

Let’s contrast DIESEL with Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’s art

I think that you really can see the difference the art and influence plays.

A concept like jojo doesn’t really work when you give it an generic superhero aesthetic. None of the characters draw you in.

However, when you have a bunch of protagonist who all look straight out of a high fashion magazine, it makes you say “damn I wanna read this”.

Let me compare and contrast a panel

I’m no art expert, but I know what scene of someone getting they ass beat by a fighting ghost has more visual impact.

With the Stand battles in DIESEL, everything is too cluttered and far back. It doesn’t have any punch to it.

It’s terribly flat and you don’t get a sense for the physical strength of this Stand just by looking at the panel.

I don’t feel the impact of the dude getting punched by the blue hulk. Even though on a physical level, the Stand seen in DIESEL is bigger than Golden Experience

Meanwhile, JoJo doesn’t have this problem. There’s a real energy and visual weight to Stand combat.

This is because—imo—everything is so close to the action and you’re not distracted by wide shot scenes with busy backgrounds.

You also get to the multiple punches being shown to connect in the panel so you really get a feel for the amount of damage that’s going on.

The visualization of valid fire punches and kicks, along with the kanji’s that represented while they do this, are paramount to these panels in jojo.

It works better than one big no impact punch that doesn’t show the reader in a visual way the full extent of the damage that the Stand is doing.

Yeah, Araki didn’t invent drawing punches and kicks in this style. But it works exceptionally well in comparison to most superhero comics where you see one big still image of a punch and a dude flying to the ground.

In JoJo, you’re focus isn’t on so much stuff that you forget that someone is getting 7 Page Muda’d to death by Giorno Giovanna. There’s a weight to shit like this. So it’s visceral

However, in DIESEL, the Stands are gloried superheroes and the panels give you too much shit to focus on. The physical damage isn’t visceral so it just feels lifeless

Conclusion

So yeah, this is my small little talk about how DIESEL really showcases the insane ability that Hirohiko Araki has as a character designer, writer, and artist.

The shit he does is something only he can do.

DIESEL shows us that someone can rip off whole stand battle arcs and stand types from jojo but unless hirohiko is doing it, then it’ll just be boring and lifeless.

I wanna talk a this more in the future but this is a good intro of sorts lol

Multilingual Lupin III Gang shenanigans!

We know that everyone in the LoopGang is multilingual, and there is no way their conversations wouldn't be chaos half of the time.

For the purpose of these headcanons, here's what each of them speaks:

Lupin: French and Japanese (both native), English (fluent), can get by in a bunch of other languages and quickly get to a respectable level of fluency with a few weeks' study

Jigen: English (native), Japanese (fluent, spoke it as a kid in his family), Italian (picked up a lot of it in NYC), French (learned while in Nice with Joe of Spades, later perfected it with Lupin)

Goemon: Japanese (native), a couple of Japanese dialects (fluent), English (fluent or nearly), a bit of French (currently trying to learn it)

Fujiko: Japanese (native), English (fluent), pretty much fluent in a bunch of languages and can easily learn a new one, like Lupin

Zenigata: Japanese (native), English (not fluent but can get by, pretty bad pronounciation because he mostly learned in textbooks), can get by with the basics in a lot of languages

(You're all warmly invited to add your own headcanons!)

---

The Gang is having a conversation in Japanese, a few English words are being thrown around, and Goemon can't remember a word in Japanese.

Cue Goemon having a small identity crisis.

---

They can never remember which idiom comes from which language, and often get bewildered reactions from others when they get it wrong.

(After Lupin told them a story about his father)

Goemon, solemnly: The son of a toad is a toad.

Jigen and Fujiko are keeled over with laughter, Lupin looks deathly offended.

----

Goemon texts in kanji, Fujiko mixes kanji with the occasional English word, Lupin writes in Japanese with roman letters, Jigen doesn't give a damn and writes in a lawless mix of Japanese and English. Their group chat is a nightmare.

----

Zenigata can't make a proper sentence in anything other than Japanese or English to save his life, but he can say "You're under arrest" and "Have you seen this man?" perfectly in 34 languages.

----

Lupin is usually well-spoken and polite, but in French he swears like a trucker. One day he stubs his toe against a table, and starts yelling "PUTAIN DE BORDEL DE MERDE D'ENCULE, FOUTUE TABLE DE MES DEUX!" (Fucking brothel of shit of ass-fucked, damned table of my two (implied: my two balls))

The next week, Jigen stubs his toe against the same table, and lets out one, loud, heartfelt, deeply american "FUCK!"

Fujiko forces them both to eat soap.

----

Fujiko and Lupin sometimes forget that the other two aren't fluent in a dozen languages, which can lead to conversations like this:

Fujiko (in German) : Hey, how would you say "Treppenwitz" in English?

Lupin (in German) : I dunno... (switching to English) Hey Goemon, how would you say "Treppenwitz" in English?

Goemon: ???????

PSA to my followers: today is the annual "Discworld Feels Day" where all the Discworld fans crawl out of the woodwork like sleeper agents.

Expect a lot of lilac.
