Today’s Maid of the Day: Iyori Ao from Ren'ai x Royale

[gideongrovel]

the universe is always so mean to me when it comes to having F/O dream 😔 I will have dreams with random characters from the source but hardly ever have my actual F/O show up 😭😭😭

putting the random one i had last night under the read more

Was being bullied by OP characters during the dream ssmsnsksk like H/iyori was forcing my dyslexic ass to read a book out loud, and me trying to subtly say to her I didnt feel comfortable, but she kept not getting the hint and was irritated that I was uncomfortable, as well as how i was reading too slowly 💀

Then Z/oro and U/sopp were making fun of me for not knowing what food and dishes were microwave safe, and my defense was just "I don't know I've never been here before" 😂 tho I was just trying to heat up a plate of meat or something???

Also the dream location was set in like a three story apartment or house? that K/uma owned but like all the doors in the house were locked shut and everytime I asked to go into a room K/uma said it was forbidden 😭 the only rooms me and the other characters in the dream were allowed to go into was the kitchen and living room,,, and the other characters were trying to get me into trouble by peer pressuring me to go to the forbidden rooms 😭

SUBCONSCIOUS WHAT????

Billboard USA Exclusion Zone Episode 1 (02/04/2023)

Welcome everyone to my new blog series where I talked about every new entries from Billboard Global Excl. US chart from this week till beyond. I will be giving a sentence or two about the songs debuted. Let's not waiting any longer let's go!

----------------------------------

18. "MOONLIGHT SUNRISE" by TWICE

I always love TWICE because they usually have fresh sounds and I do prefer their style than Blackping. Having said that, I will admit that this is not on par with their standard. But it's still pretty good and I love the percussion on there.

70. "Komet" by Udo Lindenberg & Apache 207

This is why I love this chart. Without US in the equation, you let song from other countries to shine. In this case it's a great pop rock cut by a rock veteran and a rapper from Germany. Great find.

122. "Ahora Que" by Quevedo

This is basically the Spanish version of Industry Baby but more subdued and the bass swamped up the mix. I do still think Quevedo voice is sexy.

148. "Rush" by Ayra Starr

Oh my god this song is beautiful. Ayra Starr vocal is heavenly, the production is stellar, and the instrumentation are lush but also very modern. Highly recommended.

167. "GOSSIP" by Maneskin ft. Tom Morello

You know I always thought that Maneskin is a poor man's QUEEN BEE and this song just prove me that. I do love Tom Morello guitar here, but the lyrics are very shallow. I know it might be because of the language barrier, but they're just not hitting home how American music industry are exploitative. Still Tom Morello saved this track.

168. "Coracao de Gelo by WIU

Yeah I don't think I will get Brazilian or Lusophone music scene beside Ai Se Eu Te Pego.

180. "Apna Bana Le (From "Bhediya")" by Arjit Singh & Sanchin-Jigar

I actually used to watched a lot of Bollywood movies but they were from like the 80's and 90's. So color me impressed that they managed to bring those sound and modernized it with contemporary instruments.

194. "Those Eyes" by New West

Okay so this is apparently is going viral on TikTok in Southeast Asian region but especially where I'm from Indonesia, and ngl it's kinda surreal that my country could impact the Billboard chart in any capacity but here we are.

199. "I Love You" by back number

It's a back number song, so expect a gentle production about being in love and the conviction from Iyori Shimizu about as romantic as your average The Fray song.

I encourage all of the readers to listen to these songs!

Chapter Notes | juu-nin to iro; shades of a soul

Once again, this chapter got too long and the things I originally wanted to cover got pushed to the next chapter. I’m very bad at not writing longfic.

The title

The direct translation is more akin to "ten colours and people", and it's an idiom that's kind of akin to "to each their own". Ten people can look at the same thing and walk away with ten different opinions. I went with the title "shades of a soul" after some deliberation. Remember that the English titles of these chapters are not direct translations, but rather something that encapsulates the spirit of both the title and the chapter's contents.

Words and phrases

A bunch of weaponry and katana details this time.

yari – a type of Japanese spear, generally straight-headed with a varying number of prongs. Wiki page here.

saya – a scabbard, generally lacquered but not always.

sageo – the cord used to tie the saya to a belt or hakama.

tsuba – the hand guard of a katana

tsuka – the hilt or handle of the blade, generally wrapped in shark or ray skin (samegawa)

hamon – the pattern on the steel of the blade, sometimes straight, sometimes not

shihan – an honorific that is nowadays used to refer to martial arts masters, but is a perfect form of address between a tsuguko and their hashira. Kanao refers to Shinobu as shihan.

omiai – literall ‘look meet’; matchmaking or arrange marriages. Uncommon now as love marriages are a majority of Japanese marriages, more common around 16th century Japan and beyond. Akihito and Iyori met and married through omiai, as did Kagaya and Amane (and many, many more, as we will discover as the story continues).

Let’s talk about wardship and adoption

Wardship is perhaps not the correct term to use in Japanese, but it is the most appropriate word in English in my opinion for Masachika and Sanemi’s positions. They are adopted in all but name, given rights and assets that are normally only entitled to true-born children. 

In Japan, teenage and adult adoption is not uncommon, even to this day. It’s very common for prestigious families who lack a male heir to adopt an unrelated or distantly related male (child or adult) to carry on the family name. Oftentimes, it could be a straight adoption, or it could be adoption via marriage.

Wardship is a combination of traditional adoption and the unofficial status that many children in the Demon Slayer Corps are currently living under. An example would be how Genya lives under Gyoumei’s care and tutelage in canon – he is Gyoumei’s student, but Gyoumei is also implied to take a certain kind of responsibility over Genya, who lives with him. You could also argue something similar with Sabito and Giyuu, who were orphans but lived and trained with Urokodaki, who they doubtless saw as a teacher and father figure. Although in Snow, Moon, and Flower, Urokodaki is not part of a great family, people still regard his relationship with the two boys as that of guardian and ward. It is also Obanai’s current standing in the Chrysanthemum Estate – he’s given the same rights and protections as the trueborn Rengoku children (although we explore more of him and his circumstances later).

All in all, to most families, it’s a way to take in orphan children and give them a modicum of legality in terms of status. In this period, school is mandatory for children, but depending on how far out you are from the cities and whatnot, it’s not particularly possible for this to be enforced. There’s no modern-day CPS, but the koseki or Japanese family registry has existed and been enforced since the Meiji Restoration. This means all families and their units are reported to local authorities and governments – it is a registry after all. I do not speak on this too heavily in the chapter – it’s told from Masachika’s POV, and while he’s smart, he's not going to linger on the details of stuff like this. Wardships offer the orphaned and estranged child soldiers in the corps a degree of legal protection, all somewhat loosely handwaved and covered up by the great families and their “friends in high places”, the Ubuyashiki family and their copious amounts of money… and me, the author of the fic, who wants to think a little bit about this stuff, but not too much, because we are 5 chapters in on a 36+ chapter story that’s already longer than the average YA novel (75k or so).

To further explore this though, wardship means more to the great families than it does to a regular family, and it comes with more… “perks”. Entitlement to land that is bought by the family itself and gifted to the ward is a tradition that comes from the Sengoku period when samurai would take on retainers; in fact, wardship to the great families is very much an evolution of the relationship between a daimyo or shogun and their kanshindan. Kanshindan were retainers in service to the daimyo or shogun and would be offered land and rice stipends. Their duty was not only to serve their lords but to keep them accountable as leaders. Very much the bond of a lord and their vassalage.

In 1908, the current time the fic takes place, wardship means more soldiers for the corps under the family’s kamon, and it means a roof over the heads of the ward’s family and a meal on their plate every day, three times a day. They will never want for money or possessions. Being offered a wardship is to offer a family - an entire family, as large as the ward has and would like housed - safety and security in exchange that the ward is in service to the great family.

Is it antiquated? A little, and it will be explored. There’s a reason the kanshidan were abolished come the Meiji Restoration, and there’s a reason the corps’ great families continue a variation of the tradition. Is it manipulative to offer something so profoundly life-changing to children and their families in exchange for their devotion and dedication to a corps whose very tenets endanger said children’s lives? Yeah, it is, but this is a different time, and different set of circumstances (uh, demons), but it is also deeply, unfathomably wrong. 

And it will be explored.

Let’s talk about sexism

This fic has always been tagged as “Period-typical attitudes”, while I only recently added “Period-typical sexism” – I did hope that the former implied the latter, however. One of the things I wanted to explore with Snow, Moon, and Flower is… well, period-typical sexism and attitudes.

The weight of what it means to be a woman and a man in Taisho era Japan is alluded to in canon, but never heavily lingered on. We see a lot of different expectations between men and women, as well as between upper and lower-class families in the source material. My mind immediately jumps to the Ubuyashiki quintuplets, Tengen and his three wives and the shinobi culture, Mitsuri’s childhood, and other individual characters and their circumstances: Amane, Zenitsu, Ruka, and Shizu. 

As a modern-day left-leaning feminist who lives in a first-world western country, but whose heritage comes from Southeast Asia, I have a lot of differing opinions on this and this fic is an outlet for me to explore those opinions. Tradition is important in Asian cultures, and Japan is no exception. Sexism was and is rampant, then and now. Demon Slayer does go somewhat above the expectations of the time – women were not allowed to hold a sword or take on roles traditionally taken by men. Yoake and Kanae should not be heirs to their families, they are women. A woman like Tadako would not exist in real life and does not exist in the source material (I don’t think there are any female swordsmiths in canon!)

But as Yoake says in this chapter: “demons do not afford us the luxury of abiding by tradition.”

When I explore these themes, I do want to approach them from the worldview of someone who lives in this universe and is deeply ingrained in its culture. There is a complexity to Yoake’s position, to Kanae’s position, to Tadako’s, and Mitsuri’s, and Shinobu’s, and the Doumae girls that I deeply want to explore, and I want to do it justice without putting on my 21st-century hat as I sit in the comfort of a first world western home. This of course means there’s period-typical sexism and attitudes in this fic that are both addressed and ignored – abided by and defied – subverted and enforced. That’s part of the nuance of the story I want to tell in Snow, Moon, and Flower.

I only hope that I can do it justice.

What are the other Magi's reactions to the final dreamer's, like Inara, Aaron, Truptika

Trup'tika: Maybe I will kiss you and you will become yourself? Tony: KISS?!

Edyn: Hit that lovesick fool Tony on the head instead of me.

* Arron saw who Strag had turned into * Inara: I will either kill you now or shut up your mouth with a rock

He does not fully understand the situation

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - back number (pt-br)

Eu posso não saber nada sobre o amor

Mas entendo bem desta dor que é se apaixonar

Era algo que eu gostaria de te ensinar,

Mas no final, quem acabou aprendendo fui eu.

Feliz Aniversário

Letra/Música: Shimizu Iyori

.

Um novo dia chegou sem nem mesmo eu perceber

E me pergunto por que envelhecemos, afinal?

Não é como se ainda estivéssemos a crescer

Me levanto com um pulo ao ouvir o toque do celular,

Mas meu esforço foi em vão ao notar que não era você.

.

Será que meus sentimentos não poderiam ser recíprocos por algum engano?

Não importa aonde eu vá,

O ar se torna rarefeito sem você.

.

Posso pensar em inúmeras coisas aleatórias e inúteis para te contar,

Mas não consigo pensar em qualquer bom motivo para poder fortemente te abraçar.

Ah, é verdade. Eu nem me toquei.

Feliz aniversário para mim e meus sentimentos não correspondidos.

.

Eu posso não saber nada sobre o amor

Mas entendo bem desta dor que é se apaixonar

Era algo que eu gostaria de te ensinar,

Mas no final, quem acabou aprendendo fui eu.

.

Se o hoje chegasse ao fim e o amanhã viesse neste exato momento,

Esta distância que não diminuirá não importa quanto tempo passe,

Esta troca que não leva a nada além de acordos ou disputas,

Eu posso resumir tudo isso a uma simples palavra

Mas nada disso irá chegar a um fim de qualquer forma.

.

Eu continuo a repetir coisas aleatórias e inúteis

A fim de continuar esta história incoerente

Neste dia-a-dia presunçoso,

“Feliz aniversário”

Era tudo que eu queria ouvir você dizer.

.

Posso pensar em inúmeras coisas aleatórias e inúteis para te contar,

Mas não consigo pensar em qualquer bom motivo para poder fortemente te abraçar.

Ah, é verdade. Eu nem me toquei.

Feliz aniversário para mim e meus sentimentos não correspondidos.

.

Feliz aniversário para mim e meus sentimentos não correspondidos.
