Comeback Post ~ and new fic for Miracle Moon (Festival)~

...Hi.

I am back I think? I think. Tumblr Shun is back~ehehe~

Did you miss the Demon Lord, everyone?  ☆ 

I missed you too~ I did something in secret because I’m Maou-sama so I should be able to post freely now!

Yay ☆

...

...

Oh right. I’m not Maou-sama.

*pouts*

Ummmmm

Shuuuuuuuuun *cry*

-

Fufufu.

Konnichiwa, I am Shimotsuki Shun, the god everyone can rely on - 

No that’s not right!!! And this time it’s not right because -! 

The GOD IS MY HAJIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

THE HAJIME FROM ORIGIN WITH BEAUTIFUL WINGS 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HAHAHAHA NO MUTSUKI HAJIME YOU DON’T GET TO SPEAK THIS IS FOR SHUNS LOL LOLV peropero~ ☆

Hm? Yoru - your Yoru just replied you Tumblr Shun~

-

On it.

(Omg my Yoru I’ve missed my Yoruuuuuu Judaaaaai)

Shun take over

*nervous*

-

Okay~

So~I would like to reassure our fans, both Koori’s fans (yes you have fans zephyrsus~) and my, the White Demon Lord’s fans, that everything has been solved  ☆ We talked it out with the most important skill in the entertainment industry~communication, and with love in our hearts forged closer bonds. As idols, people and friends. So daijoubu, shinpai suru nante ne! Maou-sama no iuu toori ne! 

So continue to support us okay? We’ll bring you love~(and entertainment)

Ehehe

*smirk*

Koori.

-

Ah yes.

So Tumblr Shun aka me = Koori 

*fidgets*

Today is the day of the Miracle Moon Festival.

As guided by the idols, I wrote a fic beforehand and posted it.

Since I am apparently their Moon.

*even more embarrassed*

I was.....in conflict because I love writing for Tsukiuta but I couldn’t just take the love meant for Shun for myself. 

So when I found out AU Shun was me, I decided to stop writing HajiShun.

Sorry.

B-But -! 

You may or may not have seen it already but I started a new fic!

*smile*

This time in canon setting.

I will be there as Tsukino Koori, my name in my past life in the Tsukiuta world.

With magic powers~

(If people are still confused don’t worry we are going to post chats later like they post in twitter)

My character will be the main character but also sort of not? Like it’s not only about him but the idols too. I’m including everyone in Tsukino Productions. (I don’t need to know how to keep them IC, since I literally talk to them and I want to get to know them so I’m including everyone from Six Gravity to Infinit0. Everyone wants to be in the story~ehehe~so you can get to know them there!)

It’s a fic about the second season of Tsukino Productions, so there will be other OCs too (I must say Shiryuu is cool *cry* how do I be cool like Shiryuuuuuuu)

It’s basically a slice of life, adventure fic with elemental magic (yes I plan to give the idols elemental magic, in their world this time) and if romance BL happens it’s not my fault okay~? I am faced with the Black King and White Demon Lord after all. They’re too charming *pouts* (Even though I declared No Romance Policy ha take that Black King from The End and the Beginning with your Fuck and Forget Policy! *Demon Lord smirk* Revenge~ehehe~)

I will do my best to take a human observer standpoint and write the story from an objective point of view~putting myself as a character to do so, and make peace with myself and my past. I have heard someone say I’m distant before and hard to approach (I don’t know why?) so if you want to know me better...

So if you like AU Shun aka Tumblr Shun aka me please read the story!

(Shun save me *cry*)

(Also can you bring out your Hajime personality BECAUSE YOU TALKING ABOUT FIRST LOVE MAKES ME WANT TO SEE IT BECAUSE I TURNED OUT NOT TO BE YOUR FIRST LOVE?!?!)

(WHAT IS THIS PLOT TWIST OF HAJIME X HAJIME)

-

Yes Shun *sighs and goes to eat* *sucks at basic self-care*

(You were my first love in the Tsukiuta world so it counts. Don’t complain)

-

AHHHHHHH THE HAJIME SIDEEEEEEEEEEE

Shun and Hajime in one person, best of both worlds indeed!!!

*Shimotsuki Shun fanboys*

-

Oi. Shigoto shiro, Shun

-

-

-

Hello. 

This is Mutsuki Hajime.

Shimotsuki Shun is out of commission and Koori (my Shun) is eating lunch so I will speak.

Why? I don’t know. He heard Koori’s Hajime side and just fainted.

It’s Shun. You should be used to it.

...I apologize to my fans for my unstable behavior before Koori left Tumblr weeks ago. Sorry.

However, I have no regrets.

The uncontrollable emotions and the rare anger allowed me to express myself honestly.

It also allowed me to get off the pedestal that comes with the title of ‘King’.

So.

I will be a different sort of King from now on.

Yeah. I said in my Drama CD this year for Shigetsuya (which depicts my time with my love in this world) I wanted to be a King deserving of the title.

Here.

Hajime: Even I have a pride of my own. Haru, people call me a King, but I never thought I was befitting of the title. But right now, if people call me a King, I want to be a man who is worthy of that position, not someone who just enjoys wearing the crown. Yes, people call me a King, but I want to be worthy of that position as well.

https://sakuramessage.wordpress.com/2019/04/19/mutsuki-hajime-shigetsuya-drama-tracks-translation/

(Secret, I assisted the human with this translation and guided Koori to it *smirk*)

Yeah.

Haru said once. 

...Haru.

-

Yes yes~Kuro no Ou-sama.

‘It seems that Hajime’s image has changed. Last time he was like an isolated king. Now he’s like a king hanging out with commoners - no, his people, in the city. He seems more relaxed’

I said that through a human vessel in this world once, one who admired Hajime.

This is the path Hajime has chosen after remembering his love and as his partner (and High Advisor lol) I will follow my king faithfully like a good friend and support him as his partner to the best of my ability.

He has found his love he could be passionate about like he wanted to do in his koi wasuregusa short story (how many times have we said this lol I still can’t believe he said it officially in merch) so he will follow the path it has led him to. 

A new path. For the King. 

Our King.

(Also it’s the snuggly sheep)

-

Lol Haru don’t give spoiler lol

Ya! Fuduki Kai na!

*grin*

Ah, kono basho wa suki da ne! 

Nandaka, I feel more relaxed here since we’re not idols~but we’re still speaking to our fans~

Accha! Shikata jya nai~nigechau dame na?

Yosh! I, Fuduki Kai, have a confession to make!

*smirk*

I am the Beast Master from The End and the Beginning.

Am I a psychopath? I don’t know, and I don’t really care~

I just felt I needed to say that here? Hora, my 2019 image has a wild look eh~?

Just like Koori has a Hajime side and a Shun side (cool and cute though our Maou-sama is not cute lol) I have a soft side and a wild side.

After all, we’re all people right? People have different sides to them.

Everyone puts on masks (hey that’s a good song title)

Okay! Kuuuuh~ that felt like a weight off my chest! Arigatou Kami-sama!

I’ll get to the point and clarify the situation na

(Oi you guys are being distracting in the background lol let god eat in peace)

-

Hai hai! Maou-sama has revived!

(I fainted because I heard ‘shigoto shiro, shun’ which sounded like ‘white work Shun’!)

I’ll Shun (end) this quickly~

Hitotsu~the situation is solved so don’t worry. We are all daijoubu~

(Ah, to zephyrsus’s Procella especially his Rui, we apologize. Gomen ne. Let’s talk together next time okay ☆ Fufu I already talk with Judai-chan after all ☆)

Futatsu~from now on we will be posting chats like those we post on twitter, there may be many unexpected revelations so it will be fun - jya nakute, I mean, you have been warned  ☆ Prepare yourselves, princesses and princes  ☆

Miitsu~I, Shimotsuki Shun from Tsukiuta will confirm here that all the characters from Koori’s fics are indeed us. From canon. 

Like I said, he is ORIGIN Hajime, Kether, Creation. So with his writing and his creation magic, he basically created new worlds~that’s why he’s Kami-sama in a fic he finally wrote for himself!!! (Read it, okay~? If you, my fan, want to know the true me. The real Shimotsuki Shun and not the fandom one.) 

This includes:

The End and The Beginning (I’m so jealous Black King), None Left Behind (the cruel God is me! Long story~I took my Hajime’s position as God~so he could be the Demon Lord he wanted to be!),  Death and Dreams (...Kai~that’s my Hajime)

Falcon and the Black King (Haru you are sly...)

White Dream & Black Dream (The Shun there is my Hajime I was watching~)

Fantasia (I AM D HAHAHAHAHAHA THE BEING FROM ANOTHER GALAXY!)

First Love (SOMEONE SAID IT MADE THEM WISH THEY HAD A BOYFRIEND LIKE MY HAJIME SHIMOTSUKI SHUN WHY DID YOU BREAK UP WITH HIM)

1000 Paper Cranes (HAJIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)

Tsukiuta - After Idol Life (this is a mix~it’s Gravi and Procella but Koori and me - there were times he was Hajime with me Shimotsuki Shun, and times when he was Shun with Mutsuki Hajime)

Basically all the multi-chapter fics except the HajiShun specials where it’s just Hajime and Koori (except Snuggling in Summer haa haaa haaaaah so cute!!! Koori!!!!) and The King and the Demon Lord, that is Mutsuki Hajime and Tsukino Koori as usual but the Procella and Gravi are mixed with the tumblr ones at that time 

And last but not least

IBRAHIM

Ibrahim also known as Ebrahym. In Arabic, is recognized as a prophet and messenger of Allah in Islam. Abraham plays a prominent role as an example of faith in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In Muslim belief, Ibrahim fulfilled all the commandments and trials wherein God nurtured him throughout his lifetime. As a result of his unwavering faith in Allah, Ibrahim was promised by Allah to be a leader to all the nations of the world. The Quran extols Ibrahim as a model, an exemplar, obedient and not an idolater. In this sense, Abraham has been described as representing "primordial man in universal surrender to the Divine Reality before its fragmentation into religions separated from each other by differences in form".[5]:18 The Islamic holy day 'Eid ul-Adha is celebrated in memory of the sacrifice of Ibrahim, and each able bodied Muslim is supposed to perform the pilgrimage to pay homage at the Kaaba in the Hejazi city of Mecca, which was built by Abraham and his son Ishmael as the first house of worship on earth.

Muslims believe that the prophet Abraham became the leader of the righteous in his time and that it was through him that Adnanite-Arabs and Israelites came. Abraham, in the belief of Islam, was instrumental in cleansing the world of idolatry at the time. Paganism was cleared out by Abraham in both the Arabian peninsula and Canaan. He spiritually purified both places as well as physically sanctifying the houses of worship. Abraham and Isma'eyl (Ishmael) further established the rites of pilgrimage,[6] or Ḥajj ('Pilgrimage'), which are still followed by Muslims today. Muslims maintain that Abraham further asked God to bless both the lines of his progeny, of Isma'il and Isḥaaq (Isaac), and to keep all of his descendants in the protection of God. Abraham's personality and character is one of the most in-depth in the whole Quran, and Abraham is specifically mentioned as being a kind and compassionate man.[9] Abraham's father is understood by Muslims to have been a wicked, ignorant and idolatrous man who ignored all of his son's advice. The relationship between Abraham and his father, who in the Quran is named Azar, is central to Abraham's story as Muslims understand it to establish a large part of Abraham's personality. The Quran mentions that Abraham's father threatened to stone his son to death if he did not cease in preaching to the people.[10] Despite this, the Qur'an states that Abraham in his later years prayed to God to forgive the sins of all his descendants and his parents. Muslims have frequently cited Abraham's character as an example of how kind one must be towards people, and especially one's own parents. A similar example of Abraham's compassionate nature is demonstrated when Abraham began to pray for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah after hearing of God's plan through the angel Gabriel for them. Although the angel Gabriel told Abraham that God's plan was the final word, and therefore Abraham's prayers would be of no effect, the Quran nonetheless reinforces Abraham's kind nature through this particular event. Ibrahim was born in a house of idolaters in the ancient city of Ur of the Chaldees, likely the place called 'Ur' in present-day Iraq, in which case, the idolaters would have been practitioners of the hypothesized Ancient Mesopotamian religion.[12] His father Azar was a well-known idol-sculptor that his people worshiped. As a young child, Ibrahim used to watch his father sculpting these idols from stones or wood. When his father was finished with them, Ibrahim would ask his father why they could not move or respond to any request and then would mock them; therefore, his father would always scold him for not following his ancestors' rituals and mocking their idols.[13]

Despite his opposition to idolatry, his father Azar would still send Ibrahim to sell his idols in the marketplace. Once there, Ibrahim would call out to passersby, "Who will buy my idols? They will not help you and they cannot hurt you! Who will buy my idols?" Then Ibrahim would mock the idols. He would take them to the river, push their faces into the water and command them, "Drink! Drink!" Once again, Ibrahim asked his father, "How can you worship what does not see or hear or do you any good?" Azar replied, "Dare you deny the gods of our people? Get out of my sight!" Ibrahim replied, "May God forgive you. No more will I live with you and your idols." After this, Ibrahim left his father's home for good. During one of the many festivals that would take place in the city, the people would gather in their temple and place offerings of food before their idols. Ur's most prominent temple is the Great Ziggurat, which can be seen today.[14] Ibrahim would ask them, "What are you worshiping? Do these idols hear when you call them? Can they help you or hurt you?" The people would reply, "It is the way of our forefathers." Ibrahim declared "I am sick of your gods! Truly I am their enemy."[15] After several years, Ibrahim became a young man. He still could not believe that his people were worshipping the statues. He laughed whenever he saw them entering the temple, lowering their heads, silently offering the statues the best of their food, crying and asking forgiveness from them. He started feeling angry towards his people, who could not realize that these are only stones that could neither benefit nor harm them.[16]

One night, Abraham went up to the mountain, leaned against a rock, and looked up to the sky. He saw a shining star and said to himself, "Could this be my Lord?" But when it set he said: "I don't like those that set." The star had disappeared so it could not be God. God is always present. Then he saw the moon rising in splendor and said, "Could this be my Lord?" but the moon also set. At daybreak, he saw the sun rising and said, "Could this be my Lord? This is the biggest and brightest!" But when the sun also set he said, "O my people! I am free from all that you join as partners with Allah! I have turned my face towards Allah who created the heavens and the earth and never shall I associate partners with Allah. Our Lord is the creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. He has the power to make the stars rise and set." After this declaration, Abraham then heard Allah calling him, "O Abraham " Abraham trembled and said, "Here I am O my Lord!" Allah replied, "Submit to Me! Be a Muslim!"Abraham fell to the ground, crying. He said: "I submit to the Lord of the universe!" Abraham kept prostrating himself until nightfall. He then got up and went back to his home, in peace and full of conviction that Allah has guided him to the truth. The decision to have Abraham burned at the stake was affirmed by the temple priests and the king of Babylon, Nimrod. The news spread like fire in the kingdom and people were coming from all places to watch the execution. A huge pit was dug up and a large quantity of wood was piled up. Then the biggest fire people ever witnessed was lit. The flames were so high up in the sky that even the birds could not fly over it for fear of being burnt themselves. Ibrahim's hands and feet were chained, and he was put in a catapult, ready to be thrown in. During this time, Angel Jibril came to him and said: "O Ibrahim! Is there anything you wish for?" Ibrahim could have asked to be saved from the fire or to be taken away, but Ibrahim replied, "Allah is sufficient for me, He is the best disposer of my affairs." The catapult was released and Ibrahim was thrown into the fire. Allah then gave an order to the fire, "O fire! Be coolness and safety for Ibrahim." A miracle occurred, the fire obeyed and burned only his chains. Ibrahim came out from it as if he was coming out from a garden, peaceful, his face illuminated, and not a trace of smoke on his clothes. People watched in shock and exclaimed: "Amazing! Ibrahim's God has saved him from the fire

To bless the new moon at the proper time is like greeting the Divine Presence.

—Talmud, Sanhedrin 42a

There is something mystical about the moon. Despite its secondary status as a luminary, people have always been fascinated by its silvery, luminous light and its precise cycle of waxing and waning. Indeed, the months of the Jewish calendar follow the phases of the moon.

The sages of the Talmud write that the renewal of the moon each month reminds us of the magnificent wonders of G‑d’s creation, as if the Divine Presence in our world, so often hidden, is coming out to greet us.1 Because the moon has the most visible cycle of all the stars and planets, we take the occasion of its renewal to make a blessing in appreciation of the entire masterpiece of celestial orchestration.2

So, once a month, Jews open their prayerbooks to speak of the moon. Upon seeing the soft, mellow light of the moon born again in the night sky, we recite a special blessing and verses of praise called the Sanctification of the Moon, or kiddush levanah (Heb. קידוש לבנה).

Here is the behind-the-scenes story.

When?

The Sanctification of the Moon is done at night,3 when the moon is waxing and is bright enough that we can benefit from its light. Therefore, the ceremony may be performed only between the third and the fifteenth days of the Jewish month.4 (Note that the precise dates depend upon when the moon is “reborn,” which fluctuates from month to month. See Molad Times).5

One should not recite the Sanctification of the Moon on a night when clouds are completely covering the moon.6 But if there is only a thin cloud cover, and the light of the moon is still clearly visible,7 it is okay to do the ceremony. If one begins the blessing and it suddenly becomes cloudy, one should still complete the service.8

According to the Kabbalists, it is best to wait until the seventh day of the month to sanctify the moon.9 But if you suspect that it will be cloudy for most of the month (as it sometimes is in winter), you should perform the service at the first opportunity.10

The Sanctification of the Moon is truly a joyous occasion, and we make a point of performing it in the best of moods. In the month of Tishrei (the period of the High Holidays), when we spend the first ten days repenting for our wrongdoings during the past year, we postpone the service to the night after Yom Kippur.11 The same applies to the month of Av, whose first nine days are spent mourning the destruction of the Holy Temple. We wait until the night after the Ninth of Av to sanctify the moon.12

Where?

We go outside to sanctify the moon, as though running eagerly to greet a king. Nothing should come between us and the heavens, even if the moon can be clearly seen from the shelter of a porch or the like.13 As befits a royal reception, the place where the ceremony is done should be free from any strong stench.14

We want to look our best on such an occasion,15 and it is preferable to sanctify the moon in a large group.16 Therefore, the very best time is immediately after Shabbat (providing it is prior to the tenth day of the Hebrew month), outside of the synagogue, when we are all together and dressed in our festive clothing.17

What and How?

The formulation of the prayer is as follows:

We stand under the open sky, facing east and looking into our prayerbooks.18

We begin by reciting the first six verses of Psalm 148, giving praise to G‑d for the moon, sun, stars and heavens, “for He commanded and they were created.”

Next, we place our feet together, look at the moon and recite the blessing, “. . . He gave them a set law and time, so that they should not alter their task . . . Blessed are You, L‑rd, who renews the months.”19

After lifting our heels three times,20 we then address the moon, so to speak: “Blessed is your Maker; blessed is He who formed you . . . Just as I leap toward you but cannot touch you, so may all my enemies be unable to touch me harmfully . . .” We emphasize these ideas by repeating this paragraph (and some of the subsequent stanzas) three times. Each time we begin, we lift ourselves to stand on our toes three times.

Next we address the deeper significance of the lunar cycle: “David, King of Israel, is living and enduring.” The kingdom of David is compared to the moon. Though it may have lost much of its former radiance, it will be restored to its glory in messianic times.21

Since we just finished speaking of our enemies, we make a point of wishing peace to those who are peaceful. We turn to three of our fellow congregants and wish them peace, “shalom aleichem,” and they wish us peace in return, “aleichem shalom.”22

Inspired by the joy of greeting the Divine Presence, we exclaim three times, “May this be a good sign and good fortune for us and the entire Jewish nation.” This is also why we greet those around us, since joy is always greater when shared with others.23

We then recite two verses from the Song of Songs (2:8–9) that describe G‑d “looking through the windows, peering through the crevices,” just as the light of the moon does on a clear night.

G‑d’s omnipresent protection is described again in the next Psalm we say (121): “The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night… The L‑rd will guard your going and coming from now and for all time.”

We then repeat King David’s words (Psalm 150): “Praise G‑d in His holiness, praise him in the firmament of His strength . . . Let every being that has a soul praise the L‑rd.”

This is followed by a passage from the Talmud that describes the Sanctification of the Moon: “It was taught in the academy of Rabbi Yishmael: Even if Israel merited no other privilege than to greet their Father in Heaven once a month, it would be sufficient for them . . .”

Next is a psalm (67) that was recited in the Holy Temple, describing how G‑d’s miracles will cause the nations to recognize and praise Him: “The nations will extol You . . . The nations will rejoice and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples justly and guide the nations on the earth forever.”

We conclude with the “Aleinu” prayer, in which we say that the nations of the world “bow to vanity and nothingness. But we bend our knee, bow down, and offer praise before the supreme King of Kings . . .” This prayer emphasizes that our blessing on the moon is in no way a form of idol worship.24

If there is a quorum of ten men, the mourner’s kaddish is recited.

Once we are done, we dance as at a wedding celebration.25

Afterthought

One of the underlying themes of the Sanctification of the Moon is our gratitude to G‑d for all that He has given us. Like the moon, the fate of the Jewish nation has waxed and waned throughout history. Yet we are still here to tell the tale. Sanctifying the moon on its reappearance is a way of renewing our trust in G‑d’s constant presence in our lives, and restoring our awareness that all He does is ultimately for our good.
