i feel as if im going mad so im going to just put this out here. real quick. movieunleashers starters ramble.

i cant stop thinking about how mudkip broke down in that one scene in "Typomaniac," when Chespin called him mean. for a second he lets his mask slip a little bit and to me he just... acts his age. he starts crying and calls chespin mean back. maybe im just hyperfocusing on this one detail but mudkip is about 12 years old.

and that just makes me wonder what happened in this guys life that brought him to where he is now. and it makes it all the more tragic how his whole world revolves around chespin, but he is the one bringing him the most pain. and how young he was when he died.

there is a large theme of growing up in "Rare Candy." the characters ages are emphasized in that particular episode, and one of the main conflicts is fennekin wanting to evolve faster.

the thing about characters in these stories is that they're not allowed to just be kids, to have a childhood. so many bad things happen to them. like. mudkips whole, Everything. fennekin when she was famous in typomaniac, or dealing with her own insecurities/pressure from society about her relationship w chespin. and chespin always having to shoulder his friends problems & always somehow managing to stay positive despite everything.

why cant they just. play video games. eat ice cream or something. go to the movies

at the end of the day, i think both mudkip and fennekin are characters who grew up too fast. by distancing himself from them, chespin refused to follow in their footsteps and just wanted to stay a kid.

good for him.

Ranking the books I read in Japanese this year

It’s the end of the year and I don’t think I’ll be finishing any more Japanese books this month, so I thought it would be fun to rank what I read! I read twelve novels in Japanese this year, hitting my goal (but not quite reading one a month). There won’t be twelve rankings here, though, because I read multiple books from the same series and will be combining those.

9. コーヒーが冷めないうちに - 川口俊和: This book just didn’t do it for me. I listened to it on audiobook in February for a target language listening challenge and got stuck in a vicious cycle of not paying attention because the story was boring me and being bored of it because I wasn’t paying enough attention. Most other people I’ve seen who have read it in Japanese also thought it was boring, though, so I’m not mourning any loss.

8. 宝石商リチャードの謎鑑定 - 辻村七子: I really wanted to like this series but the negatives outweighed the positives so much that I only read the first volume. The most damning part of this for me was that I couldn’t stand the writing style. It was extremely confusing, and having a language barrier on top of that just made it miserable. I’m really glad I read this with others because I was not the only one who found the writing style to be ridiculously confusing for a book that doesn’t even handle confusing or difficult topics. Seriously, the writing was so bad that I considered continuing the series in English. But the characters were good.

7. あん - ドリアン助川: Now we get into the books that I enjoyed, just not as much. I liked this book well enough, but it was just a bit middling. I wasn’t overly invested in the characters or story and I found myself wondering how on earth this story could go on for another hundred pages. It was sweet, but ultimately I don’t think the story will stick with me at all.

6. ちょっと今から仕事やめてくる - 北川恵海: This was another audiobook read and although I know I enjoyed it, I really don’t remember much about it. I’m also not sure if the twist, which I did think was really good, actually happened or was something I misunderstood (I’m pretty sure I understood it though). Overall, this one goes on the to-reread pile, just as soon as I can find a physical copy of it.

5. 旅猫リポート - 有川浩: This was an adorable story perfect for cat lovers, but the end had me a little bored. Honestly though, it was quite the experience to go from being a bit bored to crying my eyes out in the span of ten pages. The writing style and the main cat’s perspective was super charming as well.

4. 人間失格 - 太宰治: This was my first classic in Japanese and wasn’t as difficult as I expected. Dazai’s writing style is a pain in the ass, but I will admit that it started to grow on me as the book went on and now I find it endearing. It also wasn’t as depressing as I had heard it was, and I really enjoyed getting a perspective of that time period.

3. 美しい彼 - 凪良ゆう: I only read one volume of this, probably exclusively because I suddenly couldn’t stand romance when I had fifty pages left of this. What can I say, I love a good toxic gay romance. The writing style is chronically readable and the story is super engaging.

2. No. 6 - あさのあつこ: I’m a fan of the anime for this and the novels have not let me down. I’ve only read two so far, but the story and characters are super gripping. I really love the emphasis on dialogue in this series, I really feel like it makes the characters pop more. The only problem I have is this odd quirk in Asano’s writing style, where the majority of the series is told from third person point of view, but will suddenly switch to first person point of view for a single sentence. It’s not enough to deter me, but it is a little odd to see.

1. キノの旅 - 時雨沢恵一: My number one favorite read in Japanese this year and no one should be surprised. I’m a massive Kino fan and read three volumes this year. I love books that I can analyze the hell out of and this is exactly that. Additionally, I think the writing style and the way both Kino and Hermes are characterized adds so much to both the stories and the underlying meanings that Shigusawa is trying to get across.

<- guy who can only maks lore essays at 3am before he passes out

Leo's stubborn reluctance to engage in the part of charr culture that easily accepts death and killing as a show of strength is because he *did* kill before. His warband's first big assignment after leaving the Fahrar was to hunt down a charr that had gone AWOL while being suspected of taking an important magical artifact with him. Orders were to obtain the relic by any means necessary, and to cut down any resistance. Leo managed to catch up to him faster than the rest of his warband since he knew the area better, when Leo caught up to the suspect he bargained with him. He refused to let go of the artifact, so Leo fought him. When it came to deal the killing blow, he hesitated. He saw the fear in the man's eyes, and he questioned why, there was no full story, he didn't know the other side. When his warband finally caught up with him, his legionnaire threatened to make him a gladium if he didn't finish the job, so he did. They returned the artifact back to the citadel while Leo stayed with the body. He was told all his life that mercy is a sign of weakness, hesitating is a fault, loyalty to the legions, loss will be a part of life. He was told that winning a battle is a sign of strength, glory in a kill, thrill in battle. And yet despite the countless years he was picked on for being "too gentle" It was cutting short a life on questionable orders that he felt his weakest. There was no strength to be gained from such an act.

From that point on Leo, with as much as he could, refused to throw away any more lives, refused to continue the cycle he was born in. He wouldn't leave the legions though, he would change them. He never killed for a higher position, he never acted without mercy. It didn't matter how long it took for him to start climbing the ladder of leadership while holding onto the ideals that outcasted him from his own society, it didn't matter if they never came as long as he held on. His jadedness towards the legion's way of life only continued the older he got and the more experienced in battle he became. In a way the personal story beginning with nearly his entire warband dying was truly the straw to break the camal's back. More expendable lives lost in a grander battle against ghosts who suffer the same soldiers fate. The Charr and the Ascalonian ghosts are made for each other in that way, they would never admit to being a mirror, but they are.

Leo is pretty much a huge black sheep within legion charr society but he's been hardened by that and instead of being Disheartened he only grows more stubborn as time goes on. Which is good bc otherwise he would've gone crazy. Of course its hard to entirely avoid death within the legions, pretty much impossible. He just does his best to personally choose mercy and had refrained from having his warband make any brash decisions that could end with them being lost to an avoidable fight.... Mr Leo the man that you are .....
