Kamen Rider 555/Faiz character name meanings

I did mention in the tags of my Blade character name meanings post a while back that I'd tackle Faiz eventually so here it is (slight spoilers incoming)

🚫 Takumi Inui (乾巧)/Faiz 🚫

Inui (乾): drought, dry (could refer to Takumi's blunt personality and/or how the Orphnochs' gray/monotone color scheme makes them feel so devoid of life yet while not actually dead, something like a gray area between being dead and alive but not fully one or the other; also coincidentally sounds similar to the Japanese word for dog, which foreshadows Takumi being the Wolf Orphnoch)

Takumi (巧): adroit, skilled, ingenuity (could refer to Takumi's willingness to adapt in any situation, as is the case with wolves in the wilderness and even the Orphnochs' instinctual nature to survive rather than live in contrast to humans)

Faiz: based on the Greek letter phi (φ), his number code 555 loosely plays on both the letter's Greek pronunciation and the English 'five'

✂ Mari Sonoda (園田真理) ✂

Sonoda (園田): sono (園) - park, garden; da (田) - rice field, rice paddy

Mari (真理): ma (真) - true/truth, reality, genuineness; ri (理) - logic, arrangement, reason; both characters together mean 'truth' (could refer to Mari often being the voice of reason among the cast)

🧺 Keitaro Kikuchi (菊池啓太郎) 🧺

Kikuchi (菊池): kiku (菊) - chrysanthemum (has various meanings in the Japanese language of flowers including cheeriness, which ties into Keitaro's more cheery personality compared to both Takumi and Mari and their bond as a trio getting stronger); chi (池) - pond, pool

Keitarō (啓太郎): kei (啓) - disclose, open, say (ironically contrasts both how Keitaro initially didn't know Yuka's full name when they first met until later on and the main cast's constant miscommunication issues); ta (太) - thick; rō (郎) - common suffix in Japanese male names

🐴 Yuji Kiba (木場勇治) 🐴

Kiba (木場): ki (木) - tree, wood (represents strength, flexibility, and warmth as one of the five Chinese classical elements, could refer to Kiba's resilience despite all the tragic stuff he went through); ba (場) - location, place

Yūji (勇治): yū (勇) - courage, bravery (also could refer to Kiba's resilience); ji (治) - reign, be at peace (could refer to either Kiba becoming Smart Brain's president near the show's end or his initial goal of wanting peaceful coexistence for both humans and Orphnochs)

🕊 Yuka Osada (長田結花) 🕊

Osada (長田): osa (長) - long (as an adjective, could contrast with the Orphnochs' shortened lifespan), head, chief, leader (as a noun); da (田) - rice field, rice paddy

Yuka (結花): yu (結) - tie, bind (could refer to Yuka's bond to Keitaro despite their initial name misunderstanding or her wanting to sever her ties to her abusive family and past); ka (花) - flower

🐍 Naoya Kaido (海堂直也) 🐍

Kaidō (海堂) kai (海) - sea, ocean (could refer to snakes resembling/being analogous to dragons in most Asian mythologies but that's definitely a stretch on my part lmao); dō (堂) - hall, temple

Naoya (直也): nao (直) - straightforward (ironically contrasts how Kaido initially not being upfront/directly admitting that he doesn't want to hurt humanity like both Kiba and Yuka already did); ya (也) - to be (classical form), also a common suffix in Japanese male names

❌ Masato Kusaka (草加雅人)/Kaixa ❌

Kusaka (草加): kusa (草) - grass, rough/roughness, fake, not genuine (could refer to Kusaka's rough interior as part of his true personality or him hiding it from the rest of the cast); ka (加) - add, addition, beneath; both characters together could mean "a roughness beneath" (could refer to Kusaka's true personality that he hides from the rest of the cast)

Masato (雅人): masa (雅) - gracious, elegant, refined (could refer to Kusaka's "nice" facade he puts on when interacting with the rest of the cast while hiding his true devious personality); to (人) - person

Kaixa: based on the Greek letter chi (χ), his number code 913 loosely plays on both the Japanese reading of his name (kaiza) and the numbers used (ka -> 9, i -> 1, xa/za -> 3); coincidentally sounds similar to the German kaiser meaning 'emperor'

*taps microphone* New chapter for These Hollow Halls coming soon--

[bingus-bing-bong]

Sometimes i wonder if Lucifer’s vessel really needed demon blood.

We hear that it does from Cas and never get confirmation if Lucifer is drinking it for Nick. We never heard of any other angel needing to and after all isn't Lucifer just another archangel.

Yeah we know that demon blood has effects on humans and certainly makes them more powerful, but legitimately, did we ever get confirmation that it helped Lucifer in any way?

I wonder sometimes if perhaps it was a myth to make him seem more monstrous.

He's clearly gross and a monster therefore he can't just possess vessels without corrupting them somehow. He created those vile demons by twisting the good humans into such a disgusting shape. Surely they must serve him somehow.

Did you hear, he drinks their blood. He created them and now he uses them for his own gain. It makes him stronger.

one thing ive learned as i got older☝️ is that so many problems can be solved by clearing the cache

[vashti-lives]

When people spend too much time shitting on real actual women for not liking fictional women enough I start to get suspicious about their priorities!!

My friend it is 2025 we have bigger problems than women who like it when fictional gay dudes kiss.

[mayra-quijotescx]

starting to make some tentative strides back into writing again, specifically on the one of my WIPs where the protags are the most mentally upfuckéd because 1. I had a shit week and need to vent some spleen and 2. as I can firsthand attest, trauma destroys your ability to coherently remember things, so if I get stuck I can skip to the next scene and handwave it off as one of the blorbine not knowing how she got there

fuck it we ball

[sungodsfav]

I have so many ideas for fics but no motivation to write I hate it here 😭

[mechahero]

@outofthiisworld asked- ⚠️ - If Lambda came with a warning sign, what would it be? aaaaaaaand !!! 🍪 - What are his favorite scents? emoji ask game (accepting!)

[⚠️]- I feel like it would be pretty hard to boil everything with him down to a single warning sign? But still, I think it'd be a very simple WARNING: BITES, SCRATCHES, AND LASHES OUT OFTEN!

[🍪]- When it comes to scents, he gravitates more towards vanilla, citrus, and baked good kinds of scents! If he doesn't smell like oranges or like a birthday cake threw up on him, he's not going to want it or like it very much. Although on the rare occasion (or during the summer time), he veers towards more tropical scented sprays. (Think like Hawaiian Tropic. Specifically their Aloha Coco spray!)

Hi Hi! I hope you are having a great week! I just wanted to thank you for the Ask Obey Me MC & OC Ask Game post. It's very complete! I've been answering question by question all morning, which increasingly develops my MC more and more, and it never ends! It's simply very good because so far I've only put it on paper to draw, but nothing to write. I loved so much! Thank you very much!!

Heya! Thanks, I hope your also having a great one! 💚

You're super welcome!! And that's great to hear that! Getting a feel for your OC's character is always so cool, and I'm glad to know that my ask game helped you get there <3

Are you planning on doing the ask game on here btw? Because I'd like to send you a few asks about your OCs if you wouldn't mind 👀

Originally I actually had a lot more questions written down, but since this is the very first time I ever made an ask game I was kind of scared that it might be wayyy to many. So I tried to cut it down as far as I could. I even started whining to some of my mutuals about how I had way too many questions at some point. Now it sits at a total of 72 questions and I'm kind of sad that I didn't add more lol

I might actually release another version with even more questions, but that's entirely dependent on how well the ask game does on my end

Since I was a kid, but especially since high school, my life’s dream was to publish a novel. Like I wouldn’t feel I had accomplished anything until I did that.

And I used to write all the time. Probably not every day but most days. I have a doc from high school that’s 100 pages single spaced. Always working on the same novel that I could never seem to finish because the plot wasn’t working out. Every year my goal was to finish my first draft, and I never did.

And I still haven’t. The same story has been reworked and changed around a thousand times and I’ve never finished it. I’ve started other novels and never finished them. I hardly write now. I’ve written a few mediocre fanfics lately but nothing like the 1000s of words I was churning out as a teen.

I can think of a lot of reasons for it. I have a job, and an apartment to take care of. I have to make my own meals and drive myself everywhere unlike when I was 16. I have a smartphone and the internet which endlessly distract me. But I don’t think of that story that much. I used to imagine that story in my head every night to fall asleep. I don’t anymore. I don’t think of any original fiction. If I do, I only get snippets, a vignette, nothing cohesive. Nothing I try to flesh out or feel passionate about.

And I wonder if the reason I don’t feel this urge, this calling to write anymore is due to mental health— surely I was depressed and anxious as a teen and it peaked in college, is mostly settled now — but perhaps that has drained me of the vigor for it. Or maybe it’s just not something I want anymore. But that feels worse. That something I built my whole life’s worth and planning around for so long is no longer something I care about. How will I know when I’m accomplished if this is no longer the goal? How will I know where to go in life if I’m not striving towards this? Maybe I will write it some day, but as much as I tell myself to, I’m also never in the mood to. I never feel fully in the characters head or in the world like I used to.

I don’t know that this has a conclusion. I’m just sad that a passion I had is gone, and worry it hasn’t been adequately replaced. I’ll never accomplish anything grand in life, and I’m trying to tell myself it’s okay.

I haven’t written in over a week ✌️
