#especially with misao

[four-eyed-floozy]

So I've been a horror rpg nerd for like YEARS and if you're new and want to get into it, it might be hard to know where to start (in light of my last post)

These are my general recommendations, I also recommend OFF and Ao Oni fangames as well. There's a lot of creativity in some of the fangames. This is BY FAR, not the definitive rpg horror game rec list, but I think I have most of the popular ones.

finding out Misao was just a shitass ripoff of Corpse Party is fucking mindblowing for me rn. why would you copy a game that sucks

[nakanotamu]

good day madam, i am a hungry lesbian in need of your gayest wresting moments. can you spare me a cup of gay?

Anon you have come to the right person. Everything's been leading up to this. This is what it's all been for. This will probably be long.

Anon I got so excited about this I even solicited my friends for THEIR gayest moments so I'll do those first. You were recommended:

Mahiro Kiryu briefly getting a takarazuka gimmick in TJPW's Hyper Misao produced show HYPE

Giulia vs Konami from the 5 Star GP 2021, which was described as "the first match I remember watching and going OH MY GOD KONAMI AND GIULIA ARE FUCKING", and their feud did later give us a promo where Konami was like "Hey Giulia, you know how I bully you and you like it?" and Giulia was like "Ahaha, yeah?" and Konami was like "Well that's basically our entire relationship, so there you go." She did have examples.

pretty much anything with Raku/Pom Harajuku/Yuki Aino in TJPW, who my friends have lovingly dubbed the Pomycule

Okay enough from them though. You didn't ask them, you asked me and I asked them. Now for the me. I think it's important to note as well, anon, that not all of the gay shit in wrestling happens in a match, or even in the ring. Sometimes it's just shit on social media, a lot of the time it happens at press conferences, you must maintain constant vigilance. Anyway.

Whatever the fuck Syuri and Utami have going on, which I wrote about here.

There was the time Himeka kissed Syuri last year

There was Komomo enjoying getting beat up by Saki Kashima a Little Too Much, which I wrote about here.

There was the exchange between Utami and Syuri at the press conference for Stardom Gold Rush last year

There was Tam Nakano starting an entire faction to, in her own words, surround herself with women with big boobs (their focus has since shifted)

There was AliKaba, the tag team of Giulia and Syuri, which was basically just one long enactment of gay longing from Giulia

There was the time Giulia posted this picture with the caption ^-^ and then deleted it

There was the time FWC, the tag team of Hazuki and Koguma, spent 5 hours in the bath together (sadly they just talked about that I don't have pictures)

another time FWC both got matching bruises at the same time, and then later confirmed that yes they got them together. In the bath again

There were both Cosmic Rules matches at Stardom in Showcase 1 & 2 which I unfortunately don't have any great screenshots of but I'm positive were inspired by lesbian porn

There are constant small exchanges like this that don't even have a lot of context they just happen all the time

There was the time Hikari Noa had a hardcore match against Nao Kakuta and after they did this

There was the time Mina Shirakawa spat on Saya Kamitani and then licked her face

There was this shit in Act Wres Girlz, which for the record kind of depressingly does not do gay stories super frequently but has legitimately I think the highest percentage of out wrestlers I've seen in any company

There was the brief Tam Syuri feud which shockingly somehow did not involve anyone kissing but had the vibe that they were kissing mentally the entire time

There was every single exchange Tam and Natsupoi had before they realized they were still in love with each other but ESPECIALLY their cage match

And, for my money, the gay moment that lives the largest and dearest and most bittersweet in my mind was when Tam and Unagi had their singles match as part of the 5 Star GP last year, which was, unknown to us at the time, something of a farewell tour for Unagi before she went freelance, where afterwards they hugged in the ring for two minutes and then kissed.

I'm gonna cut myself off there but trust me I could go on and on and on for way too long but that's why I think you should watch for yourself. Wrestling is always moving and new gay stuff is always happening. In conclusion,

[likeadog]

wait im so fucking smart ok hold on so getens quirk name. ice ply i was trying to figure out what all this business was with the frost in his cell in 387 so i was like okay let me look at the kanji 氷操 (hyoso) which, when translated straightforward, is "ice manipulation" which like, ok duh however. however. i am on to horikoshis little tricks so i look up the kanji separately to look for specific connotations and the -so part, Misao, really doesnt mean "manipulation/operation/control" as its main meaning. its much more heavily associated with faith/honor/chastity/etc and im like 🤔 because if hes picking a kanji that is an unusual choice for the meaning then there must be something else

so i decide to google hyoso, and, lo and behold hyoso (diff kanji) is the art of mounting wall scrolls for preservation and decorative purposes. very heavily associated with and originating in hanging up buddhist writings and sutras. and , as we know, geten means apocrypha, a religious text of unknown origin and unknown veracity, and in the context of buddhism, non-buddhist writings especially those from Confucianism.

and buddhism and confucianism, while syncretically coexisting, are at odds philosophically in a really interesting way: buddhism is about personal enlightenment (awakening, even), inner peace, internal progress, and the release of suffering through it : confucianism is about how to achieve the pinnacle of humanity through strict social hierarchy, virtues, and order.

annnnnnnnnnd if we go back to what weve seen, geten is very different from the personal, internal, self-focused enlightenment and freedom that the meta liberation army promises and the teachings of trumpet, re-destro, curious, etc-- instead, he advocates for one participating in this new, virtuous society to achieve the pinnacle for living. so, you know, h-

not to mention hyoso as an art is very old and originated and flourishes in kyoto, which is in the kansai region, where the himuras very likely originated. i cracked the code. not about the frost idk what thats about but

!مرحبا

took another unintentional tumblr hiatus because i've been extremely busy doing irl activism for most of the past year, but especially over the past 6 months. it has been really stressful and scary at times, and i'm not really cut out for it at all, but i've been trying to do my best to learn on the job so to speak. i can't talk too much about that here though lol so my life probably won't seem that exciting just from reading this post fgkjhdh

some other life updates:

finished reading the tanka book in Japanese! i wrote several poems, including one for Hyper Misao's produce show (and yes she did in fact see my poems on twitter!)

started learning Palestinian Arabic with a few local Palestinian friends after seeing this post on twitter! i'm still continuing to study Spanish and Japanese, though i've scaled back a bit on those because i'm pretty solidly intermediate in both so i can maintain them just by reading and listening to media in the language. Arabic was always kind of vaguely the third language i wanted to learn after Spanish and Japanese (i think i listed it in every single "if you could instantly learn 5 languages, what would they be?" posts on here lol), and so i ended up going for it when the opportunity to learn it presented itself. no idea how far i'll get, but even knowing a little bit has been very rewarding

our Arabic lessons are currently on hold due to irl stuff on our end, and i worry every day that we won't be able to resume them due to the West Bank being invaded...

started playing my first VN, Umineko: When They Cry, after being a lifelong hater of the medium lol. i'm playing it in Japanese along with our book club here on the WK forum

had several extremely bad depressive episodes and strongly considered killing myself. the only thing that has really stopped me so far is knowing that Palestine needs me to be alive rn

almost quit watching pro wrestling, translating TJPW, and studying Japanese entirely. i had made up my mind to retire as a fan translator (and as a pro wrestling fan, period) after Nao Kakuta's retirement, but then a few days before that show i watched DDT Wrestle Peter Pan, and Kota Ibushi came back to DDT for the first time in like eight years, and i cried my eyes out and knew i couldn't quit yet

reached my TJPW translation account's two year debut anniversary

i'm going to try to be around a bit more going forward, and will try to go back and catch up on at least some of the stuff i missed (i still have a bunch of old posts from 2023 left to read lol)

hope y'all have all been well! life has been pretty bleak for me for quite some time, so i'm kind of barely holding on. but i do miss seeing what my friends have been up to here, and i hope the world has been kinder to you than it has been to me

Top 5 Super Sentai Ships

Well I already mentioned a few of my top ships in the last ask, so you’re getting all the other ships I’m fond of (I have not seen enough sentai yet to make an even moderately objective list sowwy)

1. Tusk/Misao

TWO AKWARD GUYSSSSSSS. idc abt Yamato and Misao and especially don’t care for Leo and Tusk. my precious phanty and mistake of god are two losers who deserve each other. they should be having the worst sex imaginable

[Gekiranger portion of the list bc geki has mucho shipping potential]

2. Geki triangle (Jan/Ran/Retsu)

My polyam kitties……

3. Jan/Leo (the purple one, I’m not calling him Rio bc I also don’t call Mele “Mere” cmon guys)

And they were rivals! Classic shonen homoerotism what’s better than this

4. Gou/Ken

The sloppy second brothers as I call them. I simply think “known Catholic and hasn’t existed in society proper since like the early 90s” Gou having well guarded lust (not romantic feelings, pure lust) for “aggressively heterosexual” Ken bc Ken’s rank ass smells irresistibly sexy to him is very funny to me

[Geki portion over]

5. Jin/Hiromu

I simply think Jin having a crush on Hiromu bc Hiromu acts similarly to Kuroki is a cute idea. forever unrequited 😔

EDIT: I FORGOT GAO BLUE/GAO BLACK. I NEVER GIVE UP BUT I DEF FORGOR

[roseofcards90]

Damn that poll made me think back to my rpg horror fixation and I remembered that Misao is one that I have very conflicting feelings over tbh 😭 ESPECIALLY WITH HOW THEY HANDLED THE ANTAGONIST IT STILL MAKES ME SO ANGRY TO THIS DAY—

How Tomoe continued to surpass Kaoru in popularity until 2022, causing disappointment to the author

Throughout the history of Rurouni Kenshin, Tomoe has remained one of the most polarizing characters – either adored or vehemently disliked – but predominantly adored.

Now, let's delve into some context. Rurouni Kenshin features some female characters with less-than-stellar development. This isn't a critique exclusive to Rurouni Kenshin; it has been a prevailing trend in Shounen mangas overall. The female characters in Shounen manga often lack the realism associated with their male counterparts. To clarify this notion of "shortcoming," it's essential to note that the female characters in Rurouni Kenshin exhibit more complexity than those in many other Shounen mangas, particularly those from the 1990s. Watsuki acknowledges being influenced by Shoujo mangas, and this influence subtly reflects in his writing style.

If one examines all the female characters in Rurouni Kenshin, a noticeable contrast emerges when comparing them to Tomoe. Take, for instance, Kaoru and Misao. Their personalities are characterized by cheerfulness, brightness, a certain lack of intellectual prowess beyond martial arts, and profound love. Despite being portrayed as strong, independent women of the Meiji era, their strength might be influenced by their familial wealth.

Initially, the author doesn't consider Kaoru as a romantic partner. However, as the plot unfolds, a romantic dimension is gradually introduced, starting with Kaoru and eventually becoming mutual. As the narrative progresses, the author subtly transforms it into "the" romance in Rurouni Kenshin.

Throughout the story, Kaoru remains anxiously concerned about Kenshin, fearing his departure until the conclusion of the Kyoto arc when he finally decides to call the Kamiya Dojo his home. By this point, readers are acquainted with Kaoru as a main character and Kenshin's primary love interest. There is widespread support for their relationship, with Kaoru emerging as the key to Kenshin's happy ending – a home and a peaceful life. However, at this juncture, neither the readers nor, to some extent, the author is privy to Kenshin's past – the events that shaped his philosophy, altered his speech, actions, and demeanor.

And then his past is gradually unveiled. Tomoe is initially presented to us as an illusion perceived by Kenshin, prompting him to call out to her. It becomes apparent that she holds significant importance, perhaps too much for Kenshin to risk losing himself, especially when he encounters her brother after a decade. Subsequently, we delve into the Jinchuu arc, a revelation that likely surprises every reader who had previously cheered on Kenshin and Kaoru.

Kenshin's memories, particularly his narrative with Tomoe spanning just 14 chapters, are revealed in fragments. Despite the brevity, it unfolds as a love story of epic proportions in classical literature. We witness Kenshin's life, his experience of love, his transformation, and the profound happiness he experiences, only to ultimately lose everything.

Watsuki, however, has openly expressed his dissatisfaction, acknowledging that he feels he has tarnished Tomoe's character. Originally envisioned as an "extremely beautiful woman" with a cold demeanor, Watsuki's initial concept was a "cool beauty" akin to Ayanami Rei but with black eyes. As the Remembrance Arc concludes, Tomoe evolves into a character that remains enigmatic, not fully understood by the author, the protagonist, or the readers, with only fragments to piece together.

Now, these 14 chapters form the cherished cornerstone of the entire franchise - Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal, one of the most acclaimed masterpieces in the anime world. Kazuhiro Furuhashi and Masashi Sogo skillfully translate these chapters into a heartbreakingly beautiful narrative on screen.

In the above image, the ranking on the left shows the past ranking and the ranking on the right shows the later ranking.

Remarkably, Tomoe garnered immense love from Japanese fans, securing the top spot in the official popularity ranking—surpassing even Kenshin and Saito, a feat nearly unheard of. Much of this acclaim can be attributed to Ayanami Rei's character design and Tomoe's embodiment of the Yamato Nadeshiko demeanor. This adoration endured for a substantial period, possibly until 2022. Despite Watsuki's original intentions, Tomoe consistently stood out as one of the most beloved characters, notably surpassing the main female lead.

The enchantment of the Remembrance arc persisted, extending to the live-action adaptations. Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning, despite having the lowest box office collection, emerged as the most beloved live-action film in the Rurouni Kenshin franchise on Netflix, securing a position in the top 10 films in 69 countries and maintaining its presence in the Global top 10 for a remarkable 8 weeks. In contrast, Rurouni Kenshin: The Final, achieved a lower performance, spending 3 weeks in the top 10 films and attaining top 10 status in 17 countries.

In the live-action character popularity rankings, Arimura Kasumi's portrayal of Tomoe holds the impressive 4th position, reaffirming her status as the most beloved female character, once again outshining the female lead character.

Telling stories through clothes, with this character from Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin) called Misao Makimachi. A ninja girl who is in love with her guardian, Aoshi, who took care of her when she was young. In the story I imagined, after the event of the anime/manga, she went away for a supposed "dance" training and came back to her home. That's where the story would start in my mind.

Outfit 1: Returning home and reuniting with everyone at her home, but especially her love, Aoshi.

Outfit 2: Stage outfit, where she plays a girl pretending to be boy in a cross dressing outfit.

Outfit 3: The next stage outfit, where the boy transforms into her true self, a beautiful young woman who fell in love.

Outfit 4: The final stage outfit, where the woman was betrayed and became a demon.

Outfit 5: Wedding dress, where Misao married her love after he proposed to her. 

Outfit 6: Her regular clothing when she's at home after she was married, still maintaining her upbeat and almost carefree personality.

Outfit 7: This is where things start to get darker for her. Funeral outfit, after another beloved guardian of hers, Okina, passed away due to illness.

Outfit 8: Farewell, after Aoshi was assigned to a mission that will make him separate from Misao for a long time, even though she was at a time where she needed him the most.

Outfit 9: Savior. Misao follows her husband and saves him from dying after he got hurt trying to apprehend a suspect. Finally see the result of her "training".

Outfit 10: Together. Reuniting with her husband but under a bitter feeling, he apologizes and she accepts reluctantly, and they finally spent the night together as a couple after so long being married.

Outfit 11: Training, where Misao requests to spar with Aoshi in her training session and she shows off the result of her training, both through her body physique and her fighting skills.

Outfit 12: Her mission outfit, where she teams up with Aoshi to finish his mission in Tokyo. Combined with her old ninja outfit from the past.

Outfit 13: Recovery. Misao got hurt and had to spend time to recover but she managed to heal up which made Aoshi glad.

Outfit 14: Going home, back to Kyoto with her husband, Aoshi, to live the rest of their lives together in peace and happiness. 

Hope you like the designs. :)

I'm curious as to how you see Zero and Hiro's relationship. Did they ever date? Did Zero have a crush on Hiro? Did Hiro have a crush on him?

Did he ever meet big brother Taka'Aki or childhood friend Yamamura Misao?

What kinds of stories about his precious partner does Zero tell Kaito?

Assuming Kaito and Hiro manage to meet would they get along?

Is a HiroRei coparenting situation possible?

Or polyamory including Kaito?

1. Zero and Hiro are best friends. They might've had crushes on each other but weren't willing to risk their friendship over it.

2. Zero canonically has met Takaki, Hiro's brother. Not sure about Yamamura... but maybe.

3. Zero does tell Kaito the happy memories he has of Hiro... especially Hiro teaching him how to play the guitar and how to cook.

4. If they manage to meet in another life, they'd probably get along fine. Hiro would feel like he's dealing with Zero all over again, but... he knows how to handle that.

5. Hiro and Rei coparenting is yes. Polyamory with Kaito... maybe. It depends on how comfortable Kaito is with them. (Personally, yes! Yes to both!)

hue just some oc

Rant+oc talk

I'M NOT LEAVING LMK FANDOM ANYTIME I LOVE IT TOO MUCH! I've just been frustrated lately, I have trouble with BNHA especially making an oc. But I favorite Gyaru characters they always have the best outfits. So I am hoping this calms my brain cells a bit, I've been having a hard time making a bnha oc but now I have one! She's actually a redesign of many various ocs I had in the past. Yes...I was shamefully in the BNHA fandom...I was a despicable person honestly.

I like the world building, the power system and how it works with science. It has some amazing characters and yes I still do like Bakugou I heard he died and then a lot of things in the manga are disappointing. I have a hate and love relationship with the anime honestly. I could write a whole chapter on it. I especially also don't like bnha oc, I'm sorry but this is my opinion but please don't take it the wrong way. It may come off a bit hypocritical but some BNHA oc are pretty boring and bland, they all look relatively the same, the same white paper skin, blue eyes and black or white hair. Not to mention some quirks are also pretty boring, they also have the same head shape and same eyes.

For me, all BNHA oc look the same, there's nothing to distinguish them well. That's my rant for the fandom side as for the anime. Horikoshi has a big problem with some arcs and characters he never once again used and it's frustrated. Also...fucking Mineta god I hate that character with a burning passion.

Anyways off with my oc, her name is Misao. Her quirk is entirely based off on Mami powers in Madoka Magica. Her whole ordeal is magical girl stuff. So quirk I don't have a name but the description of it is, her cells can turn into guns, only her cells though she can't use anybody else's cells to make guns. Her father Quirk is a healing Quirk while her body is the same as her daughter she can pull any type of gun she wants from her cells except she can use other people cells. For that, the Mother is a military soldier and her father is a medical doctor.

Misao quirk is a combination of the two, let me explain this. Misao's cells can manufacture guns, it doesn't matter which one as long as she has the knowledge of that gun existence and it system is something possible. For her to pop out the gun she needs she will have to pull off a bit of her cells or her skin, it's a painful experience that makes the gun's power more powerful. The good thing is that with the combination of her father Quirk the pain lasts a bit but that all depends in which one she's taking out. Small guns require less so they feel like a pinch while bigger weapons require much force and it can cause Misao a lot of pain. Which is great for power but bad for Misao. She cannot produce bullets though, those she has to make by herself or she can ask her parents for them. It between those two but sometimes she rather ask Yayorozu or Bakugou with these. Like I said earlier Misao can heal faster than a normal person can, also the more guns she gets out the more immobilize she gets and more weaker she grows. Taking out a weapon strains her to the point where she will fall unconscious and stop moving for a couple of hours.

Also she's not very smart, you can say she's a bimbo. So she fails at tests and quizzes but does well in responding while getting her nails done. Also, most of her classmates think she's dumb and just like some of them but Bakugou is the only one to acknowledge the opposite. She was train as a military child, something she dislikes as well. She prefers looking good and getting her nails done, she actually doesn't even want to be a hero, she wants to be an idol. Her dream were crushed as a middle schooler, she really doesn't have a lot of choice.

She also doesn't like some of her classmates because of how their personality rubs her the wrong way. She's uncomfortable with them so she avoids getting to know them, the only one who she enjoys the company with is Bakugou, mostly because of his eyes also his quirk drawbacks but she does avoid him. Shinso is another person she enjoys being with, she's more close to him since they both can connect with each other about societal problems and cats.

Did Nobuhiro Watsuki say Aoshi and Misao get together? [Rurouni Kenshin]

kaorou999@youtube: actually, i heard that mr watsuki (the creator of samurai x) said in an interview that Aoshi and Misao do get together, im glad for that!!!

Chrno34@youtube: Yup, at the San Diego Comic Con of '06, a fan asked him if Misao and Aoshi got married and confirmed it.

Summoner Lenne10@fanfiction.net: Btw, all the Aoshi/Misao stuff comes from the fact I asked Watsuki at the 2006 Comic Con if they get married, Source: http://ladysarah92.blogspot.com/2009/11/

In Comic-con 2006 Nobuhiro Watsuki was a guest and was interviewed - As for Watsuki, he answered a wide range of questions. He talked about his inspirations and what made his decision to become a manga creator easier, such as a childhood appreciation of Doraemon and his apprenticeship with the manga creator Takeshi Obata, best known in the US for his work on the title Death Note. When pressed for his favorite character, besides the obvious selection of Kenshin himself, Shishio was a close second. People kept on wanting to talk about the anime, especially Watsuki’s involvement in it, not only of the Rurouni Kenshin series but the one of his most recent series Buso Renkin that has yet to be shown on Japanese television. They did have a clip of it there and showed it. Regarding his involvement with the anime, he checks the scripts and the character designs, and is involved with the selection of the voice actors.
