Emperor Kammu
Emperor Kammu (aka Kanmu) reigned in ancient Japan from 781 to 806 CE and is most noted for relocating the capital to Heiankyo (Kyoto) in 794 CE. Kammu was one of the most powerful emperors Japan had seen or would ever see, and his reign witnessed a restructuring of the royal household and government, reducing the state's costs and making it better able to manage the country and fight corruption.

Insei: Gouvernement Retiré dans le Japon Ancien
Insei ou "gouvernement retiré" décrit la stratégie des empereurs de la fin de la période Heian (794-1185) dans l'ancien Japon, qui consistait à abdiquer en faveur d'un héritier choisi tout en continuant à régner d'une manière ou d'une autre, généralement après s'être retiré dans un monastère bouddhiste, d'où la référence dans le nom. Les empereurs prenaient de telles mesures pour éviter qu'eux-mêmes et leur successeur ne soient dominés par les puissantes familles régnantes de l'époque, en particulier les membres du clan Fujiwara, qui cherchaient à placer leurs propres partisans sur le trône impérial. Bien que cette stratégie ait été utilisée avec succès par plusieurs empereurs, elle eut deux conséquences malheureuses: les provinces devinrent plus éloignées du contrôle du gouvernement et les rivalités pour le pouvoir au Japon s'exacerbèrent à tel point qu'une plus grande militarisation de la politique finit par conduire à un renversement complet du gouvernement et à un règne de longue durée des shoguns à l'époque médiévale.

Currently working on my moonflower piece that’s taking forever and I’m a little surprised I’ve never seen anything even close to it before, I mean I see art of Limbo being cut in two but never showing Danzou… I always feel like people forget it’s her that deals the finishing blow, and it’s not just her doing it on her master’s behalf, but rather a deeply personal thing to her, something she was willing to use moonflower for…
#Infel’s fate tag#…yeah I do admittedly get slightly bothered when people try and attribute his death more to guda than her#yes they’re her master but its something way more personal for her#like since Shimousa she’s been bound by this man and even as a servant he’s hunted her down and still haunts her#still is deliberately trying to hurt her specifically… her being the one to kill him is her breaking free of him at last it’s significant#it HAD to be her#I would have been even more pissed off at heiankyo’s missed potential otherwise but they did do that part right

A videogame hints and secrets book published in the 90s which essentially just had codes and tricks in an encyclopedic list of games.
One game, called Haienkyo Alien, was an arcade type game where you used a shovel to dig holes and bury monsters before they could eat you.
There were no secrets or codes for this game. But it still had an entry in this guide. It had a short story from the perspective of the man carrying the shovel, and that story has lived in my head for three decades.
Even a lawnmower manual can be great writing.
Mr. Neil, I have perhaps the most important question I could ask here.
The core of writing advice has one thing. One, special thing to it. And that is: “Write. Write write write.”
But what COUNTS as writing? Surely writing a manual for a lawnmower has nothing to do with becoming a fiction writer.
But what about writing fan fiction? Writing out a dnd story with original characters? Does it just have to be publishable work in the most serious sense?
What counts as writing is writing. Learning how to express yourself clearly is everything. Writing a manual for a lawnmower that’s a good manual for a lawnmower will teach you a lot of about clearly telling people what things look like and how to do things in your fiction. No joke. Write.

This is one I’ve been wanting to add to my collection for quite some time.
This is one of the earliest computerized maze games that amazingly somehow got a Game Boy port in the early days of that system’s life.
I’ll be showcasing this one on my stream in the future.

Tō-ji
Le complexe de temples bouddhistes Tō-ji Shingon est situé à Kyoto, au Japon. Fondée en 796, sa pagode en bois de cinq étages est la plus grande du Japon, un symbole de la ville et un trésor national. Le complexe comprend d'autres exemples de styles architecturaux anciens tels que la salle principale Kōndo et la salle de conférence Kōdō, ainsi que de nombreuses sculptures de personnages importants. Le Tō-ji est également classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO et reste le centre du bouddhisme Shingon (ésotérique) au Japon.

Ryoanji
Ryoanji (Ryōan-ji) is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan which is today most famous for its Zen rock garden with its enigmatic arrangement of stones. Founded in the 15th century CE, the temple is one of the most visited tourist spots in Japan and is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Foundation
The site of Ryoanji, located in the northern hills of Kyoto (Heiankyo) in the district of Ukyo-ku, was converted into a Buddhist temple in 1473 CE. Before that, it was a private estate, created in 1450 CE and owned by the influential Hosokawa family. The gardens were modelled during the ownership of Hosokawa Katsumoto (1430-1473 CE), who retired there, and when the famous general and one of the deputies to the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa (r. 1449-1473 CE) died, the buildings were converted for use as a Zen Buddhist temple site.
Zen was introduced to Japan from China in the 12th-13th century CE, and it became especially popular from the mid-15th century CE. Zen thought reduces the significance of studying sacred texts and instead emphasises the importance of contemplation (son) in order to reach enlightenment. Certain things may assist an individual in their process of contemplation and one of these, as we shall see, is the use of minimalist rock gardens.
The Hojo Hall in the complex was once the abbot's residence and its interior is today divided into six rooms by painted sliding screens (fusuma) which include several fine depictions of dragons. There is another building next to the Hojo Hall which is today used as living quarters by the monks of Ryoanji.

Fate/Samurai Remnant spoilers
Wow, unarmored Ushi Gozen/Raikou looks a lot like Shuten with her hair that short… she just needs some horns.
Also, anyone else find it kind of darkly funny that Berserker Raikou is arguably the least unstable Raikou we’ve seen outside the still living one in Heiankyo?

Okay I think the point I was trying to make there is I often get the impression people treat Danzou as a mere accessory to Limbo's story instead of her own character whose story is deeply interconnected with theirs. And you need to think about her too when looking at Limbo, cause his treatment of her says a lot about him. She's a major part of his story after all, right from the beginning in Shimousa.
#infel's fate tag#and yeah heiankyo did her dirty by not following through on the massive build up but Shimousa and her interlude really go into them a lot#The Limbo section in Shimousa is even focused on 'Limbo torments Danzou'#ultima cantica (middle) my beloved
