Fell down a rabbit hole, so have traditional Japanese weapons for Maizulee:

Mai:

Bo shuriken- she carries them.around her wrists, ankles, basically throwing spikes

kunai- the typical ninja knives, there's a plethora of different shapes

naginata- I'm not really sure about this one since it's a polearm and quite long, but I like to imagine Mai also knows how to fight with close range weapons (also bonus point, the naginata was usualy used by female samurai)

kaiken- short dagger resembling a katana

suntetsu- a metal spike with a ring to wear ut on your finger (concealed weapon)

Ty lee:

kusari fundo/Jōhyō- a metal weight/spike on a rope (her fluid fighting style reminds me of dancing, and this weapon is usually used by a lot of fluid, dance-like motions)

tekko kagi or te kagi- the 'hand claws'...don't ask why, she would just have them

Tonfa- wooden weapon of a stick and a handle (one word-bonk)

Azula:

kankyu- a middle-sized bow

Wakatushi arrows- so called "meat-cutter" arrows. Because of course she would

kaburi-ya arrows- "howling arrows". They were hollowed out with designs to whistle as they were shot (she'd use them to grind her opponents nerves)

(Maybe) sai- three-pronged weapon with the middle prong longer than the side ones (Used for stabbing amd disarming the opponent. Concealed weapon)

I'm so happy about my old Naruto obsession!!

I like all their weapons!

SPEAKING OF JAPANESE WEAPONS IM GONNA HAVE A LITTLW RANT ABOUT THE ORIGAMI ONES I MADE RECENTLY!!! SO STRAP IN BOYZ!

First of all here is a crap-tacular photo of them all stuck on my wall (coz I can)

These are miniature Twin Tantō’s, generally samurai would have a katana, a wakizashi and a tantō for a complete set. They are definitely not to scale but are fun to play around with, the design was supposed to be so that you could fit them into each other to hide the “blade” and you could pull them apart to create two.

The second is a trident, not gonna say much about that because it’s not actually Japanese and not my area of expertise I made this for a friend so I’m not keeping it.

The next is a set of Ninjatō again not to scale and again again the green and purple on is for my friend. These were really fun to make and it’s was the first in the series of origami weapons I made. This is as I stated before usually part of a set of Katana, Ninjatō and Tantō. The Ninjatō is the medium sized one in comparison to the other two.

The Kunai are my favourite weapon by far they are a type of throwing knife that can also be used in close quarters combat as a small dagger like weapon. These weapons are traditionally black but also come in sliver and grey tones. I’ve made one for my friend but I can’t be bothered to take a photos right now :)

And last but not least are the Shuriken or throwing stars in layman’s terms they are a set of two but the other one is in my pocket 😁👍 These stars come I’m many shapes but I went with the classic one almost anyone could recognise.

I wanted to add more to this cause. You know how annoying it is to figure out what weapons are which, including japanese furniture? Had to save it all on pinterest.

Did you how annoying it has been to finally find good translated examples of what consists of a traditional Japanese house or room for writing ideas?

Do you like to use the Mushroom Cloud as a fun Barbieheimer meme? If you do, it's fine so long as you know what the cloud caused and what it symbolizes. If you don't know the circumstances of the mushroom cloud, please search ''Hiroshima Nagasaki atomic bomb people (with your safe search off)' on Google Images. *The images are very disturbing. Please DO NOT try it if you are sensitive to extremely disturbing images.

I'm Japanese. In Japan, unfortunately, many people have never seen the old pictures of the real effects of the mushroom cloud. We learn about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (both are cities in Japan) in primary school or junior high, when we are about 10-14 years old. Many adults think it's too risky to show children the pictures because it shows human bodies, which look like human charcoal. Living people got severe burns on their faces, their backs, and their whole bodies looked like melting wax (additionally, most of the people in the pictures are citizens, not soldiers. There are many kids, babies, and old people, of course.) Even though it happened in our land, many people (including me, I'm ashamed to say though) don't feel it was an actual event because it seems very unreal and it happened almost 80 years ago. Fortunately, I had a chance to learn about the atomic bombing and see several pictures of it. Now I know what happened in 1945. I think some people here/outside of Japan realize it as well.

I don't blame people born outside of Japan who have never known/learned about the effects of the atomic bombing. I want to ask you to learn and understand what happened under that iconic mushroom cloud before you make a meme with it. If you think 'So what?' after that, I will have nothing more to say to you.

I've not seen Barbie or Oppenheimer because they are not released here yet. But I feel they are both very interesting. I'm looking forward to watching them. I wish I could have fun watching them without any distractions before going to the theatres.

Don't get me wrong. I know that during World War II the Japanese government did tons of terrible things to people outside and inside of Japan. I just want people to know that atomic bombing is a very serious issue, and using the images of the mushroom cloud as a meme/design is like using a symbol of the Nazi/KKK as a fun meme. It's not fun. Atomic bombing should never happen anywhere in the world.

Me 2 years ago: i love the bonds the demigods share with each other & some with Radagon/Godfrey/Rennala, but it’s kinda sad no one seems to be particularly insane about Marika :(

Fromsoft pre-heating Messmer in the oven: hey-

this image has changed the trajectory of my life

like, it might not be apparent before but i've never been normal about Marika for one bit... so a demigod with a whole ass giant statue of her cradling a baby in his boss room (also, that's the most LOVING depiction of Marika so far in the entire game) + the first one to outright calling her Mother ?? M A N

also all the “unwanted child” thing is pure fan speculation so far. no one in canon is saying he's unwanted. yes he carries all the symbols that are against the Erdtree but have you considered ...... they are trophies ....... of all the forces he had slayed to protect his Mother ...... how about that .........

EDIT to add that the throne he’s sitting on in the poster is actually also in the boss room, it’s just tiny af against the gigantic Marika statue behind it.

What’s his deal that is so insane … just a lil guy chilling in front of a colossal statue of his mom cradling baby him

GOLDEN KAMUY: THE HUNT OF PRISONERS IN HOKKAIDO ゴールデンカムイ 北海道刺青囚人争奪編 (2024)

[itsmarjudgelove]

This blade is attributed to Den Rai Kunitsyugu (伝来国次), a renowned swordsmith who was active during the early Nambokucho period (around early 14th century) in Yamashiro province (today’s Kyoto prefecture).

He belonged to Rai school, a representative school of Yamashiro blades founded by Rai Kuniyuki (来国行). The swordsmiths of this school preceded their names with the character “Rai” (来). Rai Kunitsugu is said to have been an apprentice of Rai Kunitoshi (来国俊) or a cousin of Rai Kunimitsu (来国光), both of whom are renowned swordsmiths throughout Samurai history.

Later, Kunitsugu moved to Kamakura, an area located in today’s Kanagawa prefecture, and learned the excellent craftsmanship from Masamune, who is arguably one of the most famous swordsmiths in Japan and said to be the actual founder of Soshu Den tradition. Kunitsugu was one of the top ten apprentices of Masamune, also known as Masamune Jittetsu (正宗十哲). And Kunitsugu became a master craftsman known as “Kamakura Rai” (鎌倉来). The most significant characteristic of Kunitsugu’s style is the strong influence of Soshu Den. Kunitsugu’s craftsmanship has been regarded as excellent and he is listed as Koto Saijo–saku (grandmaster swordsmith of Koto blades).
