Petals soaked with blood

My fatherʼs hand reaching up

Lifeʼs sweet perfume fades...

[woundedheartwithin]

I had a dream where Jin found his long lost sister on Iki island. He thought she died when they were kids. She claims she was kicked out of the clan after trying to murder their dad. Whether that's the truth or not was debatable.

Oooooh that’s interesting! Timeline wise it wouldn’t make sense, but I dig the idea for sure. I like the idea of maybe Kazumasa hooking up with a low class woman either before Chiyoko or an illicit affair, and either she leaving to Iki or being sent there either my Kazumasa or Lord Shimura to get her out of the picture. And maybe this little girl’s mother would tell her about the samurai with the deer antler kabuto and the twin mountain mon who ruined their lives. And maybe it was an affair from long before Kazumasa married Chiyoko, so the little girl is an adult by the time Kazumasa’s party descends on the island and she is the one who kills the Butcher of Iki instead of Tenzo, or maybe even alongside Tenzo

I also can’t remember where but I’m pretty sure someone used the same word to describe Tomura at some point this arc. Maybe Dabi too.)

The sentence above, in content and structure, resembles Twice’s narration directed at Hawks in chapter 266.)

4 そういやトガちゃんって souiya Toga-chan tte “Come to think of it, Toga-chan,”

spoilers for ghost of tsushima and a lil iki island spoilers //

the thing that i like most about jin is his duality in himself, like you have a very calm reservered kind quietish man who helps people, paints, plays the flute, composes haikus, is so very fond of animals esp horses and foxes sorta religious and can be very emotional.

BUT also he is probably the most dangerous man on tsushima, was a child soldier, was a samurai, poisoned a entire castle, can be very agressive, feels most alive when in combat and can cut someones head clean off.

it shows the exact half from his mother/uncle and father and i think thats very cool, the duality in him is so funny because you can see it so so clearly even jin saying too his hallucinated father "i will never be like you" while he is literally his father atleast in most combat.

[beefgnawpolis]

So I have finished the main story of Ghost of Tsushima (sob sob sob yes I spared [spoiler] what do you take me for sob sob sob).

I kinda like Jin's new bachelor pad.

I also kinda like Iki Island so far but...

[cut for spoilers]

You know what, if I'd gone through all of this with Kage (aka Horse 1.0) just to have him up and die at the end of Act 2 I might very well have ragequat this game and right up until I found horse tracks I was grumbling threats along the lines of "I s2g if you kill ANOTHER horse in front of me I will burn this mother fucker down" at the screen.

Getting Sora (Horse 2.0) back and learning that cool new skill was very satisfying, though.

Jin: He's surrounded by Mongols! I have to help him!

Sora: *BULLDOZE*

Jin: ....or not

Also I found pettable monkeys! And ...a rhythm minigame!

[champoflightning]

Zettablogging plans/notes!

I originally wanted to clean this up and make it more detailed and nice before posting it! However that doesn't seem to be happening, so I think I shall just post what I had! Spoilers for Nexomon and Sun/Ultra Sun!

-Got Ultra Wormholed after being freed from the Underworld but before getting back to the main world. Is secretly both worried about his family/what that means, and very secretly glad to be out of there.

-Has a bit of a rivalry going on with Tapu Koko. It's increasingly a friendly rivalry, but Zetta will probably always call him "that jerk".

-First partner is a Rotom because of course it is. He gets the Rotom that would inhabit the protagonist's Rotomdex in canon.

-Can talk to electric type Pokemon, speaking the language of electricity and currents. Can't talk to any other ones.

-Puts up a token effort to pretend to be human around the villagers of Iki Town. Does not bother on Rotomblr. (Theoretically pretends to be human in front of Kukui, however Kukui watched him meet and talk to his Rotom buddy so that skitty's out of the bag. Kukui probably thinks he is a Rotom.) This does not stop him from trying to get zapped by every electric type pokemon he sees. -He will eventually find out about the power plant on Ula'ula, go there, and cause a blackout by eating up the electricity there. Never admits responsibility to anyone but it's really obvious.

-Zygarde doesn't like him, for obvious reasons. He gives off the same sort of aura as an Ultra Beast. The other Tapu also start rushing to fight off this new Ultra-intruder when he lands on their islands, until and unless Koko steps in to explain.

-Is aware of Lillie as Kukui's protege, but doesn't actually meet her until late in the "game". Is in the Ultra Sun-verse, kind of. (A blend of Sun and Ultra Sun.)

-Is still pre-character-development; thinks humans are expendable, but kind of entertaining. Is royally (heh) offended to be running errands for one, but Kukui's wife studies the wormholes that dropped Zetta in Alola and she's probably his best shot at getting home. So he plays nice. He slowly gets casually fond of the ones he interacts with a lot.

-Doesn't use Pokeballs; doesn't see a reason to, and shorts them out.

-Gets a more appropriate outfit for Alola but refuses to lose his visor.

-Will eventually punch Necrozma in the face. This is not negotiable. And/or bite them.

-Runs into Xurkitree at the Aether Foundation when Moon and Gladion drag enlist him to help them rescue Lillie. Their ensuing fight and subsequent alliance would probably scare everyone who saw it if they weren't occupied with other matters at the time.

-Can't currently transform because Necrozma ate all his electricity. The more time he spends in Alola the more he recovers, though. He is incredibly whiny and upset until he starts to feel like himself again. Koko gives him a charge boost near the end so he can transform and go beat up Necrozma. (There is an AU where I tossed in a reference to one of my favourite fics and Zetta gets in contact with more legendaries at this point, but I never heard back on if it was okay for me to do that, so it remains an AU)

-Eventual team is Rotom, Vikavolt, Dedenne, Electivire, Xurkitree, aaand Oricorio-P.

-Drags his feet a little on going home; Lillie and the URS are happy to help him do so after he sends Necrozma packing, but eventually he realizes he can't put it off anymore and he has to face the music in his own world, maybe with a bit more compassion and humility than he'd had when he arrived. I would have used this foot-dragging to justify posting even after the main arc had finished.

Ghost of Tsushima CYO Fic

Please enjoy this fic, there's a poll under the cut to vote for what you want to happen next. This fic will reach no higher than a teen rating and pairings (if any) will be determined by votes.

This fic is set after the events of the main game and the Iki Island DLC, there will be spoilers. Jin is on Iki island deciding what to do now that the island is free.

Fic and poll under the cut:

Jin Sakai sat atop Kaze, his bay stallion, while the ocean breeze whistled though the plates of their armor. Their armor because Jin had on The Ghost armor made by his late friend Taka, and Kaze’s tack was covered by the armor of his late father’s horse. That armor filled out the still fattening frame of his horse. Kaze certainly wasn’t Kage… he was leaner, faster, and more stubborn… but he was proper samuai’s steed and a loyal companion.

When they’d first been stranded on Iki, Kaze had truly proven himself a capable fighter in his own right. Now, months after the Khan’s defeat and having finally freed Iki from the looming shadow of the Eagle, Jin and Kaze fought together as one. They were of the same mind. Tenzo had commented on it with awe and some jealousy. Jin had only shrugged, unable to come up with a platitude that wouldn’t be condescending or remind them both of the vast difference in their stations.

The ocean waves crashed against the sands and rocks of the coast. The tide was coming in. If he left for Fune’s Refuge now, he’d probably arrive at its zenith, meaning the rocky path would be treacherous and slick. He needed to return to Tsuhima soon, but not at the cost of his life from slipping off a rock and drowning. He’d had a near enough experience to that in Zasho Bay and was loath to trust his luck a second time. Third if he counted falling off the bridge almost  year ago as his first near drowning. Jin shuddered and pointed Kaze inland.

Without realizing it, Jin found their travels took them to Hachibee’s house. He was drawn out of his head by the constant low buzzing. The bees seemed agitated today. Was it the weather? Or perhaps this was their swarming season? Hachibee had many freshly carved logs set at intervals around the clearing and through the nearby forest, prime real-estate for any queen seeking a new home.

Jin dismounted, and chuckled.

Kaze immediately retreated away from the little insects that filled the air. His ears twitched with annoyance, but perked forwards to listen once Jin began playing his flute.

This would likely be the last time he played here, for Hachibee’s bees, or—a second flute joined in harmony as Jin knew it would—with Hachibee. Three songs later Jin stopped for breath and to embrace the feeling of warm sunlight on him. He felt warmed to the bone the same way he had when Hachibee had offered him tea sweetened with honey.

“You’re leaving soon?” the apiarist asked without preamble.

Jin raised an eyebrow and answered the question with another, “How did you know?”

“Your flute sounded melancholy, my lord—uh—Jin.”

“It’s fine. I think half the island knows I’m samurai now.” Jin didn’t voice that only a handful on the island knew his clan. Fune and Tenzo had done well in keeping their own council on the matter.

Hachibee held his flute across his lap and bowed his head. “You don’t deny you’re leaving.”

“I am leaving, soon. I wished to say farewell to you, Hachibee, and to your charges.”

“Safe travels, Jin. Before you go”—Hachibee sprang to his feet, feigning lightness and levity—“allow me to give you a parting gift.”

Jin knows those on Iki don’t have much. He also knows better than to reject generosity and kindness when it offered freely. He accepted Hachibee’s gift gratefully and with a deep bow of his own. The small jars were heavy.

“Honey,” Hachibee proclaimed, “for wounds, medicine, eating. For whatever you need, Jin. Please, travel safely.”

He didn’t ask for Jin to write. Jin never bothered to find out if he was literate. He may try to send a letter back regardless. Hachibee has been a good friend.

“Thank you. Your kindness is appreciated. I will miss playing music with you, and your bees.” Jin bowed again, and waited for Hachibee to rise from his own reciprocating bow before taking his leave. That was one farewell made. His next stop would be Fune’s refuge.

7? :) (aún no he jugado escarlata/púrpura así que sin spoilers porfiplis)

graciaaas!! y no te preocupes que no te ha salido la región de españita :)

you'd live in iki town, in the island of melemele, alola!

its motto is "the place where we give thanks to pokémon", and its description is as follows:

an old town where traditions have been passed on for generations. the villagers here are close with tapu koko.

it is the first town you'll visit in the game, and home to melemele's kahuna, the fighting type expert hala.

this is the cute theme of the town :)

and here are your pokémon! since here is where you receive your starter in sun and moon despite the professor not living here, i think you should get a starter as well

send me a number (1-9) and i'll give you a place in the pokemon world to live in

Ghost of Tsushima Fic Recs

Oh boy, this is me coming to save the day. It’s been months since I finished Ghost of Tsushima (+ the lovely Iki Island extra) and as an avid fic reader, ofc I searched through the depths of AO3 to find decent fanfics.

Most are gen, because I loved the vague vibe of friendship within the game. And I think that the beauty in GoT is about reflecting upon everyone’s stories—it honestly gives so much potential for writing. Give me all those character studies in your fics, does it have hopeful romance canon divergence due to the what-ifs implicated throughout the game? great

So here I offer you, my Ghost of Tsushima fic recs, some gen, some centered around ships

GEN FICS

follow the white trees home by boltlightning | 6.3k words, 3/3 chapters, post-game spoilers, jin & everyone having some closure

Through solid and well-structured drabbles, we find comfort in final conversations between Jin and his allies in this fanfic. I personally loved this because we start right after the final duel, and Jin must say goodbye to Omi Village. I think this was written before the author played Iki Island, but still, it is really beautiful. We have so many nostalgic scenes and everyone caring in their own way for Jin—yes, this was the end of a wonderful journey, but as a reader you know (and reassured) Jin will be seeing everyone again.

Political Wisdom by Judopixie | 1.4k words, one-shot, spoilers, pov outsider, bamf jin

A noble from the mainland narrates the events of Ghost of Tsushima. Very soon, he realizes that Tsushima has a guardian, a vengeful spirit. I love how the author portrays Jin determination, nothing can stop Jin at this point. badass motherfucker

brighter shores by boltlightning| 1k words, one-shot, iki island spoilers, yuna & jin friendship

As soon as he returns to Tsushima after completing his quest on Iki Island, Jin reflects upon how he has learned to accept the heavy legacy his father left behind. He also reunites with Yuna and talks about his adventures on Iki.

JIN/YUNA

on sturdy ground, we retreat by penhaligon | 4.4k words, one-shot, post-game spoilers, yuna & kenji & jin friendship

In the aftermath of a failed conquest, Yuna and Kenji talk. Also, Kenji is a clever guy and he does not miss the way Yuna and Jin are sweet on each other. My girl Yuna is in loveeeee

Kitsune by danceswithronin | 4.4k words, 2/2 chapters, fluff, supernatural elements, Inari blessed Jin

Yuna thinks Jin is more than just a mortal man, and Jin finds himself amused by her superstition. Maybe she is not wrong?

KAZUMASA SAKAI/CHIYOKO SAKAI

The Fox Bride by 2kimi2furious | 5.2k words, 3/? chapters, backstory for minor characters, magical realism

Chiyoko, Jin’s mother and Lord Shimura’s sister, was actually a fox spirit. Kazumasa still marries her of course, and although Lord Shimura grows up being skeptical about his sister’s nature he is far too busy to think too hard. This whole fic is endearing, honestly.

JIN/RYUZO

The Gods, Laughing by manic_intent | 10.2k words, one-shot, part of a series, soulmate au of the red string

I don't read much of these two, im not into this ship much, but i couldn't help but read a soulmate au because god knows this fandom needs it. anyways, jin is a sweetheart as always, and i loved the writing here.

[seaofolives]

So I forgave myself...and him.

[woundedheartwithin]

Kenji turning up on Iki island acting in typical Kenji fashion while adding in a touch of identity theft and yet again needing to be rescued by Jin is the most Kenji thing he could do.

It was! I was so delighted to see him tbh he was so funny

ISLAND // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı: 7 Benim puanım: 8

Drama: Island

Hangul: 아일랜드

Director: Park Kwang-Hyun

Writer: Yoon In-Wan (webcomic), Yang Kyung-Il (webcomic), Jang Yoon-Mi

Date: 2023

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Kim Nam-Gil, Lee Da-Hee, Cha Eun-Woo, Sung Joon

Aynı isimli webtoon’dan uyarlanan dizi, farklı bir tarza değişik bir havaya sahip. Ayrıca ilk kez başrol oynasa da, en azından benim izlediğim dizilerde, Lee Da-Hee’ye bayılıyorum. Bence çok güzel bir kadın. Onu daha önce; The Beauty Inside, Search: WWW dizilerinde izledim. İkisinde de hemen kendini belli ediyordu. Diziye dönecek olursak, Jeju adasında geçiyor. Büyük bir şirketin tek varisi olan Won Mi-Ho( Lee Da-Hee), sergilediği bir takım aykırı davranışlar nedeni le medyada linç yiyince babası onu Jeju adasına gönderir. Burada bir süre gözlerden uzak olacak, bir okulda rehberlik öğretmenliği yapıp medyada güzel bir imaj çizecektir. Tabi adada dünyayı yok etmek isteyen kötü ruhlar olduğu için bu sakin planı çok uzun süremez. Dünyada sıkışmış olan kötü ruhlar hemen sonra hanım kızımızı hedef almaya başlayınca da hikaye hareketlenmeye başlıyor.

Bu noktada ihtiyacımız olan iki şey ise; kötü olmayan kötü bir ruh ve rahipten bozma bir avcı. Rahip Johan (Cha Eun-Woo), Vatikan’dan Jeju’ya bu anomaliyi araştırmak ve efsanelerde adı geçen canlıları bulması için  gönderilir. Gizli görevi ve gizemli karakteri ile hikayeye dahil olur. Ve efsanevi yaratığımız Van(Kim Nam-Gil); kendisi yarı kötü ruh bir ruh avcısıdır. Ondan hem korkulur hem ihtiyaç duyulur. Kimine göre kötüdür, kimine göre koruyucudur. Kendisi ise ölümsüzlük lanetini bitirip hayatına son vermek için seçilmiş kişiyi aramaktadır. Kulağa tanıdık geldi mi? Gelmemiş gibi yapın, hiç alakası yok. Aslında biraz da, bence, The Witcher dizisinden arak var. Yarı kötü ruh olan, ruh avcıları üzerinde deneyler yapılan ve bu amaç için yetiştirilen çocuklarmış. Van(Kim Nam-Gil) ile birlikte aynı kaderi paylaşan Tan (Sung Joon) bir zaman sonra fikir ayrılığına düşüp farklı bir yoldan gitmeye karar vermişler.

Hikaye bu dört karakterin etrafında dönüyor. Karakterlerin kendilerini tanıma macerası gibi de düşünebilirsiniz. 2 sezon toplam 12 bölümden oluşan mini bir dizi. Biraz “Bulgasal: Immortal souls��, biraz “The Witcher”, çok azıcık da Goblin karıştırıp harmanlayıp sunulmuş. Kötü değildi bu arada. Rahip Johan rolü ile özellikle Cha Eun-Woo oyunculuk kariyerine bence sağlam bir taş koymuş oldu. Artık rolüne girebilen, rahat bir oyuncu olduğunu söyleyebilirim. İdollük kimliğinden nihayet sıyrılmış gibiydi. Daha önceki “My ID Gangnam Beauty” dizisinde çok amatör, “True Beauty” dizisindeyse çok tutuktu. Zincirlerinden kurtulmuş gibi geldi bana.

Karizmatik Van rolü ile Kim Nam-Gil üzülerek söylüyorum ama beni çok etkileyemedi. Karakteri karizmatikti ama oyuncu o karizmaya yetişemedi. Ama diğer yandan Tan rolü ile karşımıza çıkan Sung Joon şahaneydi. Oyuncuya; “Hyde Jekyll, Me” ve “Call It Love” dizilerinde yan rollerde olsa bir göz aşinalığım var. Bence karizma olması gereken karakterden daha karizmatikti. Hem karakteri hem oyuncu.

Sonuç olarak, farklı değişik bir diziydi. Şans verebilirsiniz.

Just had a heartbreaking thought about the intense horror Shimura must have felt when he saw Jin, freshly clothed in Kazumasa’s armor, decapitating that Mongol and tossing his head away while three others lay dying, choking on their blood from the poison.

We as the player know the steps we have to take, and we trust that Jin has a good enough heart to never take it too far. 

But after hearing Kazumasa say that he did terrible but necessary things throughout his life and believed them justified, hearing Jin start his rhetoric of “I did what I had to” must have been a Lot™ for Shimura. And Yuriko even remarks how similar Jin looks to his father in that armor. 

It just hurts that Shimura couldn’t see past all of that and trust in Jin instead.
