#leo likes instant ramen noodles

[pezhead]

For age gap au, does Splinter feed the boys stuff like PB&J's or macaroni and cheese? Do the boys like food like that? Or just pizza?

Because they have been living in the sewers for only a year now (and Splinter trusts Leo to watch over the younger three) Splinter goes out scavenging for most of their meals and has yet to consider farming algae and worms. This means the boys' meals are much more diverse than in cannon 2012.

They start eating even better foods when Casey and April are able to bring cheap foods (exactly like macaroni & cheese and stuff for PB&Js). And they eat best whenever Karai visits. Girl refuses to let them eat garbage when she's around.

which turtle do you think can handle spice? lol i made some spicyx2 ramen for dinner and both my parents asked me if this was food or nuclear war fare, they got scared of how red the ramen broth was lol

Spicy Food (Headcanon)

A/N: The lucky wheel decided on the 03 boys for this one, so here we go💚 I myself am very bad with spicy food, like it's really bad. Like, if the food does as much as touches anything spicy, I can’t eat it. But I think the guys generally would have a way better time handling it💚

--------

Leonardo:

Leo does pretty well with spicy food. He’s used to Splinter’s spicy noodle soup, and was always the angel that ate everything his father made for him, without complaining. Not that he ever complained. According to his taste buds, all of Splinter’s cooking was amazing.

When Mikey started taking over in the kitchen, Leo could not help but find the food a little… What is the right word? Uhm… bland? But don't get him wrong, Leo loves his little brother’s cooking, but he did prefer his father’s addition of spice to the food. It just that feeling in his mouth that reminded him of childhood.

Although Leo is a terrible cook, and has been ordered by his whole family to never touch the stove or the oven, Leo did know how to use the kettle for tea, and the microwave for making leftovers. But he also knew how to make instant cup noodles as a snack, often finding himself gravitating towards the extra spicy once. But even then, he often finds that they aren’t spicy enough, and adds a little more himself.

Raphael:

Raph has a love hate relationship with spicy food. On one hand he loves spicy snacks, but on the other he isn’t a big fan of warm and spicy meals. As a child it had almost caused several meltdowns at the dinner table, back when Raph didn’t have the words to clearly explain to Splinter that the noodle soup was causing him middle discomfort.

Raph could not explain it. It was as if the heat from the food made the spice so much stronger, to a point where he just couldn’t eat it. Even as a teenager and as an adult, he would let the soup cool down for a bit, before finally feeling comfortable enough to eat it.

But funnily enough, Raph LOVES spicy snacks. Chili chips or at least some kind of spicy dip with his chips, and this guy would be happy.

Raph once shared some of his chips with Casey, not thinking they were so strong. But neither Raph or April had ever seen someone run so fast to the fridge for milk, giving Raph a hint that his snacks may be spicier than he first thought.

Donatello:

No one knew for sure, but there was this theory in the Hamato family, that Donnie’s taste buds were immune to pain. Donnie did not seem to care if his food was spicy or not. The important thing for him was that it tasted good, and that the texture didn’t make him run for the hills.

Leo had long speculated that it came from years of caffeine addiction, but that did not explain how seemed to have shown the same behavior, years before he even tried coffee for the first time. Spicy food just didn’t bother Donatello.

With that being said, it’s worth mentioning a time where Donnie’s spice tolerance really came to show. One day, an absolutely sleep deprived Donnie had made himself a cup of coffee, but in his sleepy state, he had added hot sauce to his drink, instead of the milk. The horror on his brothers’ faces when he took a sip, and went as far as to say that it even tasted better than usual, before he went back to work in his lab.

Michelangelo:

Mikey had never been a picky eater, but if there was one thing he couldn’t stand, it was spicy food. It had been like that since… pretty much forever. Sure, Mikey could eat mildly spicy things, but he just had a taste for more sweet things.

Mikey’s food making was therefore obviously less spicy than Splinter’s. But just because his food was less spicy, it didn’t make it any less good. Mikey’s cooking was amazing, even if Leo seemed to miss the good old days, where his mouth was about to burn off.

But Mikey’s mild intolerance for spicy food, gave Raph a great opportunity for a prank. One day while Mikey wasn’t looking, Raph added one of his spicy chips to Mikey’s already opened bag of salty chips. The scream that followed when Mikey then unexpectedly bit into that one chip, was so loud that people on the street above looked around in confusion. It was no surprise that all of Donnie’s milk suddenly disappeared after that, having been drunk by a hysteric Mikey that desperately tried to kill the fire in his mouth.

Even more doodles cause I also drew these :)

AND EVEN MORE INFODUMPING

So top left is Ino-san, in the fic Yuichi and Leo eat soba noodles at his noodle cart. Many things about that!

Leo says Ino san looks weird for a yokai. And he's right - cause Ino-san is NOT A YOKAI!! It isn't gonna be talked about in the fic at all, but Ino-san is actually a mutant like the brothers! Draxum is still working in secret in Hidden City Tokyo and has mutated a few humans!! idk why yet, maybe he is working with the Japanese govt. or smthn. Anyway he mutated Ino-san and Ino-san ran to the hidden city. But the ecomony there is a lot different than actual Tokyo so he sought business elsewhere and ended up in the yokai village!!

even more stuff about that: Ino-san's cart sells cold soba noodles, which are the original ramen noodle! Ramen noodles as we know them today didn't get to be popular until the 50s (not instant, but like at a ramen noodle stand) and even then the term ramen wasn't super popularized until a couple of decades later! So Ino-san is selling cold soba noodles, which are cooked in the morning and thensold throughout the day. He also doesn't have any seats at his bar because they're meant to be eaten quickly!

Noodle stands like this started popping up in the big cities in the 1910s because they were a quick and easy meal for working men and women in the city!!

Also! In the fic Leo is surprised by how expensive the noodles are, that;s because in the mdist of the war, wheat became really expensive to get and wildly drove up the price of soba noodles. In fact, they kind of disappeared until afer the 50s when rationing was over.

So that's fun historical stuff and also a huge backstory for a v miniscule character :)

tw: implications of child abuse!

Leo comes back from his run with a knot in the base of his neck, a sheen of sweat drying tacky across his forehead, a satisfied ache running along the underside of his biceps.

It’s late — or at least, it’s early, technically, the night having slowly meshed with the morning, the moon still creeping across the sky to make way for the sun in just a few hours, the patrons of many a city nightclub now stumbling home to sleep the next day away.

What Leo isn’t expecting to see Mikey stood at the stove over a simmering pot of water that has slowly started to bubble at the surface.

He turns, facing his brother, face breaking into a grin. “Oh,” he says. “Hey.”

“Hey,” Leo says in turn with a exhausted sigh; now that he’s stopped does he fully feel the effects of his run, ebbing its way through each of his bones and joints like lava solidifying him in an instant, he’s wooden and stiff when he drops into the kitchen table seat. “What’re you cooking?”

Mikey hums, gently twisting the wooden spoon around the broth. “Just some ramen,” he explains with an easy shrug of his shoulders. “You didn’t have dinner, so…”

Leo’s chest clinches tight. “Ah. Mike,” he says, an aborted and choppy attempt at an apology. “You didn’t have to stay up.”

Mikey cuts him off with a raspberry blown past his lips and an absentminded wave of his free hand. “Don’t sweat it,” he tells him, like there’s no room to argue with him on it. “I was up anyway.”

Leo doesn’t press him on it, not when he’s stood there with his shell facing him, looking a little more hunched than he should be.

Leo traces his finger over a knot in the wood of the table, drawing it back and forth over the uneven swirl.

“Bet Raph was mad,” he says in a low voice. “He always is.”

Mikey hums. Something tells him that he doesn’t quite want to agree, but he does. “You know how he is.” Leo hums back. It’s as far at that conversation will go before they both snuff it out – not wanting to temper that particular fire, Mikey continues to stir the noodles in the pot. “Have a good run?” He asks, like it’s a genuine question and not just space-filling small talk. Leo stretches his calves out, feeling the lingering burn behind his knees. “Yeah.” He tells him truthfully. He was already missing the rush of warm, summer air skim past his face, past his body. “It was nice. Maybe you should come with, next time.” He offers almost every single time, extending out that wonky, bowing olive branch to each of his brothers. He’d often met with abrasive resistance between Raphael and Donatello, but at least when Mikey turns him down, he has to sense to be jovial about it.

“Psh, yeah right,” he says, still turned away, his shoulder shake a little from the laugh he forces outwards. “I’m perfectly happy with my Desperate Housewives reruns, thank you very much.” He’s dishing up the food when Leo scoffs a playful laugh. “Well. If you ever want to…” his words trail off when his brother turns to hand him his dinner. There, around his usual smile is a bruise and a split lip, once hidden by the shadows of their home, now illuminated beneath the buzzing glow of the kitchen light, Leo stands up quickly, drawing the chair he was sat on, back so harsh, it groans out against the floor. Mikey winces at the sound, but Leo bypasses it to inspect his brother’s face further. “How did this happen?” He asks gently. The bowl is set carefully on the table, curls of smoke rising from the broth, Mikey tries to smile again, but his lip only cracks wider, and a fresh dot of blood emerges from beneath the skin. “Ate shit during training,” he explains with a breezy shrug of his shoulders. He squints, the purple bruise around his eye shifts as he does so. It hasn’t quite fully formed yet but come morning, there’s a chance it’ll have doubled in size, swelling his eye shut. “S’my fault though,” he adds rather nonchalantly. He passes Leo a fork despite the fact he’s still gawping at his abused face. “I wasn’t really listening,” he tells Leo, suddenly fidgeting awkwardly with his hands when he doesn’t stop staring and eat his dinner like intended. “I messed up this defensive stance. It was easy, really.” He’s still smiling. “Guess I won’t dick around tomorrow unless I want one to match, huh?” Leo isn’t really so sure as to what to say. He stands there, taking in the lilith form of his youngest brother, standing beneath the humming, flickering kitchen light, watching expectantly for his brother to finally sit and eat his noodles. So Leo does exactly that. Mikey’s busted lip trembles when he does so. “Maybe,” Leo says, voice raspy he has to try again after quickly clearing his throat. “Maybe I can go over it with you,” he suggests. “Tomorrow.” Mikey sucks in a small, shuddery breath. “Yeah.” His voice is small and far away sounding. Leo knows there are stronger olive branches to offer that aren’t just training and late night runs and such. But he’s barely holding on himself. The ramen burns deliciously at his lips as he sucks it down. He glances upwards to Mikey once more, still standing there, he doesn’t find the strength to find more than just one, measly branch. “Thanks, Leo,” his brother says, mustering up all the strength in the world to truly sound grateful. “Thanks.”

[balcon1es]

summary:

Leo keeps a daily log in the apocalypse. If only the past stopped trying to be relived.

notes: rottmnt movie's bad future timeline word count: 2.5k

x

After the end, time splits down the middle: Before and After. This is Before—Day -199 or thereabouts—and they're gathered around the world's last instant ramen bowl in the morning light like it's a fallen comrade.

Mikey shouts, "Someone get water!" and they know he means the good kind, the bottled one, because when the Kraang first made their nest they’d dried up the river. Only the reservoir was left.

Raph starts a fire and puts their last 16.9 oz Aquafina water bottle to a boil. Donnie collects: forest mushrooms, chives, a daikon radish, a migraine, and an egg that Leo puts directly under the sun to scope for rot. It looks like an old one, but Mikey will make it work; he always makes things work. In goes the hot water. The scent of umami blooms around them, warm and giving, and the knot of noodles unfurls into ribbons. Leo wants to be able to transform like that: just add water. Instead, he goes around to distribute breakfast, because he's old enough to know some things are meant to stay wishes.

On Day -200, Donnie floats the idea of time travel. Imagine, Donnie says, burst blood vessels in the white of his left eye. What would you do if you could go back in time?

Mikey perches his chin on Donnie's shoulder and says, Get you to sleep more, Donathan.

Yeah, your growth's kind of seriously stunted, Raph agrees. Cassandra throws her freshly buzzed head back and howls. They share the same rugged grin, and both their left arms are broken in the same two places. Leo shivers in the draft the makeshift tent allows; they're morphing into the same person.

April fixes her own splint. I don't know, maybe tell my manager to suck it?

Ooh, good one, Raph says. Maybe I'll order more of those pizza biancas. Step out of my wheelhouse, you know?

If I were to go back in time, Splinter chimes in quietly, I would remind myself of what is most important.

The room goes mum. Then Donnie groans, begging them all to think bigger, people. Leo wishes his past self hoarded more sodium beef ramen bowls instead of that last sad shrimp bowl, because really? Shrimp? Now there's a tragedy.

It is not the first time Donnie brings up time travel. The first time, in fact, happens on Day -455, and they're shooting threes in the dead of night, human disguises pulled to a T. The Kraang are not yet here. The world is still beautiful, and Leo's brothers are alive. Raph grunts past April's reach for a pull-up step before going in for a sweet, sweet jump shot that has Leo crooning in two languages. By the bleachers, Donnie folds two points together on a napkin to explain the mechanics of tesseract time travel.

I think got it! Mikey lies. Donnie heaves a sigh, and will never know just how much his baby brother will, in fact, get it, years later, unlocking gates like unsnarling shoelaces.

The basketball thunks to the ground and spins wildly out of orbit. Time jerks forward. It is Day -13, a day for intense uphill cardio. Leo knows they only stand a chance against the Kraang together—stacking their mystic signatures around each other like fortified Matryoshka dolls—but then a stupid fight tips the harmony, and their shield breaks. They're fleeing on foot for the rest of the day.

Leo is too busy thinking about countermeasures, ground formations, wondering what Splinter would've done, that he doesn't notice Raph fall back to buy them time. When he turns, the sky blisters red. The blast is so absolute it scorches even sound, and then Leo is stutter-stepping through the divide into the new world.

Welcome to Day 1.

Time resets, and Raph is gone from here on out. They've only just finished preparing his ashes when Donnie brings up time travel again, and Leo slugs him across the face. Donnie's head cracks to the side; his lip is split badly in a way Leo knows will scar. Casey whimpers in his cot. Something in Leo's chest rapidly loses altitude.

He won't forget the look on Mikey's face as Leo shoulders past him, feeling brittle to the core, and all of a sudden he's ten years old again, misunderstood, trudging past the main storm drain to pull a prodigal son. It is Day -4015. Or Day -4016. Leo's not so sure; the fine details blur. Most of his childhood boggles him now, but the cold, dizzying tangle of the sewers beyond home still crawls behind his eyes. He imagines making a life here. He imagines his family, laughing without him, and his riotous heart thuds deafeningly in his chest like a small drum. He marches on.

And then Leo hears it—a voice singing. It wafts towards him, and just like that, he's found. Splinter carries him home all the way, singing a halting lullaby only Leo can hear. Says, sometimes I get lost too. His brothers crowd the entrance to welcome him, but it's Donnie that Leo remembers most: his face wrinkled like a raisin, ruddy with tears as he knocks their foreheads together in an entirely uncharacteristic way before rearing back to swat Leo on the chest.

If you ever do that again—Donnie cries, never finishes his sentence.

Or else what, Leo mumbles back, but now it's Day 4238. Donnie's in the Technodrome. Donnie's in the Technodrome, without Leo's permission. I'll be in and out, Donnie promises through the comms, to a steady backdrop of Mikey cussing him to hell and back and April's threats to mess with all of Donnie's shiny new tech if he doesn't get his shell out of there right fucking now, Donnie, nobody got time for this.

But time is all they have. Five minutes, to be precise. Leo knows what is about to happen in the next few minutes, because Leo was there when Donnie put the plan together. Donnie, always with the questions. What would you do if the Kraang couldn't fry your mystic powers?

I don't know. Leo twirled his sword lazily. Win?

I mean, theoretically—yes. But think smaller.

You always said to think big—

I know, but let's be realistic here. Humor me. If you had an hour—no. Thirty minutes. Ten.

Five, Leo amended, mirroring the reckless look in Donnie's eye. You said be realistic, right? I'll fuck all their shit up. I can do that in five.

Leo imagines Donnie wearing the same crazed, full-toothed grin through the comms, as Donnie announces the bioweapon disabling the Kraang's central unit is on the way. Mid-sprint, Leo looks up. Kraang battleships darken the sky like a fulminating storm.

Then, one by one, they start to fall.

Donnie rasps, you dumdums better make these five minutes count, because if I have to touch any more of this alien goop—and never finishes his sentence. Static detonates through the earpiece and flatlines.

Five minutes, Leo thinks, wild with grief. Mystic energy plinks behind his ears. Then: a waterfall. Donnie did it. Somewhere, Mikey is already baptizing the ground with fundo-fire, eyes wild and unseeing. Leo closes his eyes. Lets his swords lengthen the distance of his loss. How it goes on and on. And then he swings. Hulls split. The Kraang sing as they go down with their ship. Day 4238 kindles until it blackens in its grave.

And then it is Day 4239.

The sun is out. Blue for miles.

On Day 4240, cirrus clouds roll over the canyon.

Day 4241. Mikey disappears. Leo chases him—all the way to Day 4260, when it's clear Leo has lost another brother, too. Mikey's back never turns. Leo stands and hopes anyway. They part ways under a moon so brittle it is a gnawed-off bone.

On Day 4265, the base warms with summer.

On Day 4269, Leo learns the delicate art of becoming a fixture.

Day 4270. April sits beside him. Says nothing.

Day 4281. Leo threads a purple bandana through his sword’s grip tape.

Day 4282. Casey's first word is, to no one's surprise, Weo. Leo throws the kid in the air until he gurgles with laughter, says, there's our little late bloomer. Three years is a long time to go without words. Leo is so sure his heart will give out until Mikey returns on Day 4373 with a new cloak etched with spells.

Mikey pulls off his hood. Spar with me, he says.

This is not his brother, but the flickering shadow a flame throws on the wall, shapeshifting at every turn. Leo is glad to get it all out. He gets to be a monster out here, so Casey doesn't have to see this part of him.

Blow by blow, Mikey meets him. No matter how much the world changes Mikey will always be eight years old around the eyes, but there's a new weight in them today, and Leo hates Draxum for putting it there, hates him so much his teeth gnash and his focus slips.

Wrong move.

Leo’s blade snaps at the combined force of Mikey's chain-knot and twangs into the crags below. Now they're fist-fighting—no weapons, only breath and bone and the mystic blood-flood that gathers in the gut like a dangerous tide. Time wavers; Day -3801’s Splinter shooes his rowdy children off the sparring mat. Aggressive behavior in the dojo will not be tolerated—

Leo snaps to attention as Mikey's knuckles catch the corner of his face. Leo's lip bursts. It’s Day 1 again; time won’t stand still, and Mikey glares at Leo while Donnie's lip free-bleeds. Donnie's mouth is moving through the words time travel, and Raph is gone. Donnie’s cheeks are bright with tears. Leo doesn't remember that part.

Huh.

A silver hair catches the light and snatches Leo back to the present. Leo dreads the worst. Mikey, he tries, but something in Mikey's face closes up, and he kicks Leo with both feet into the sun-razed distance. Leo can't move when he tries to get up; his foot is stuck. And then he sees it: a thousand interlocking chains, mooring his ankle. Mikey's tracing the last of his spiderwork-spell into the air when Leo turns back and can’t help the laugh that brays out of him. Their baby brother, all grown up. Their baby brother, brilliant. Dying. Mikey's grin is a gash.

On Day 4376, Mikey leaves again. Leo lets him. It takes all of his bones and then some.

On Day 4377, Leo tries making miso soup. It's delicious.

Day 4377. Crickets thicken the night. An anthill grows on the side of the base.

Day 4380. Fifteen new recruits—all previously farmers—join the resistance and develop a stutter when Leo walks by. Later, Commander April asks him if he can try not to scare the rookies too much, yeah? Leo practices his smile in the mirror. Casey pulls his cheeks back and says, yeah, just like that!

On Day 4389, Leo wanders the base and accidentally locks himself inside one of the storerooms. This is ridiculous. Donnie left them a lair so smart, but Leo can't even open the emergency hatch. Leo needs Donnie here, so Donnie can explain things to him. He kicks and punches and dents the sliding door. Out of nowhere an AI voice comes chiming in with a, do you need any assistance?—and it’s Donnie’s voice under the tone, unbearably young—and Leo's heart freezes, full stop. He doesn’t remember how he gets out. Maybe he uses a portal. Maybe he talks not-Donnie’s ear off until the lair kicks him out once and for all.

Day 4410. Day 4422. Day 4433. Day 4444. The days keep unraveling, but Leo's heart is a gramophone stuck in a groove. It's an old beat he keeps dancing to, and he has bad knees. Funny, that. Once upon a time, Day -4849, he and Donnie win a dance competition and—scratch. Backtrack. Leo can’t keep doing this. It is Day 4467, he is here and nowhere else. Casey wants to go see the canyons. Sure, they can see the canyons.

They leave before sunset. Casey hangs off Leo's back, his feet in the grooves of his shell and knapsack. Leo wishes he brought something for the kid, like candy—scratch. It's Day -5600. Splinter drops a milk candy into Leo's hand like a pearl, says, for my good son. Leo aches like a cavity.

Casey is quiet. Earlier, the kid was screaming bloody murder, cooped up for too long in the base. Now his tiny body is vibrating like a bottled rocket, incapable of holding more than one emotion at once, and Leo wonders what that's like. Leo is everything at once; both thirteen and thirty-four, here and nowhere. He needs to focus, or they'll slip. It's a long trek. The sun splinters behind wind-battered crags. Tomorrow, Leo thinks he might leave the resistance, tell April he's been thinking of pulling a Mikey and maybe then things will finally be better without him in the picture. Tomorrow. He just has to hang on til tomorrow. Day 4468.

But Day 4467 lingers, refusing to skip to the next beat. An hour passes, and finally the ground levels. Leo finds a spot to rest and lets Casey poke around the ruins. The kid returns sometime later, calling Leo, Leo! and in his hands is an old rotor. Scratch; Day -5495, Donnie shows him a spark plug. His glasses keep sliding down his face, and Leo keeps pretending to be fascinated with all the strange things Donnie keeps bringing—Backtrack. Leo shakes it off. Casey brings him more things: an old stopwatch, a bottle cap, a small plastic dolphin that might've been part of a baby mobile once—and then the kid starts to hum a lullaby.

Leo's stomach drops.

"Where did you learn that?" he says, he's shaking, he's ten years old and lost in the sewers, he's a stupid punk who left home and can't even silence the way his heart ricochets, a desperate chant going find me find me oh please, someone find me

Casey shrugs. “I don't know! Somebody sang it to me, I think!” Scratch. Day -54, Raph rocks a swaddled Casey side to side, humming a strange, lilting tune. He catches Leo's gaze by the doorway and grins as if to say, know this song? Of course Leo knows this song. It's stitched into folds of his own brain. Backtrack. Casey drags him to the edge where the ground plummets into deep cascading valleys, where sunlight pools and stretches. Casey throws his song into the air, and the canyon catches it, throws it back. His voice breaks, and he giggles, embarrassed, tries again. Leo tries again. He was so afraid he'd forgotten, but it's been playing all this time; their voices echoing through that long dark journey, climbing the wind to find them here, the past singing back; time travel.

Leo couldn’t remember the last time he cooked a real dinner in his apartment. That wasn’t to say he didn’t cook, but he was sure that his usual menu of instant ramen noodles, burgers and frozen pizzas would not impress Peyton Ainsworth. Though to be frank, Leo was sure not many things impressed her in the first place. He and Peyton came from very different social circles and walks of life. She was high heels and red lipsticks, he was grease stains and, well, more grease stains. Had it not been for the colossal referral she’d given his garage this past week, it would have been unlikely that their dinner plans would have blossomed, but he was both thankful for the work, and the opportunity to get to know the fiery redhead a little better.

After quickly jumping in the shower, tidying up his house - which really mean rearranging couch pillows, doing the dishes and letting some fresh air in - and scouring the internet for ‘fast and easy dinner’ recipes, Leo finally settled on Cherry Glazed Chicken, mashed potatoes and asparagus. He wasn’t sure how it was going to taste, or if she even liked chicken, but all Leo could do at that point was hope for the best. He had barely turned on the oven when he heard two light knocks at his apartment door.

“No fucking way she’s early,” he muttered quickly to himself, his wet curls still dripping after his shoulder. Panicked, he quickly washed his hands, tucked the bottle of wine into the fridge and headed for the door. He was unprepared, but Peyton wasn’t going to wait. Taking a deep breath, he unlocked the door and pulled it open. “Hey,” he said breathlessly as he forced a smile on his lips. “You’re early.”

Aniplex Fugou Keiji Livestream | Fugou Keiji 2 | Kitsutsuki 2 - 4 | Arte 3 - 12 (FINAL) | Fruits Basket 27 - 32

During the Millionaire Detective: Unmissable livestream (part of FunimationCon and Aniplex Online Fest), I watched and took notes, so you might find these handy upon retrospect. To be honest, this is how I do the posts for magicalgirlsandcerulean’s livestreams as well, but there hasn’t been one of those in a while...

Otherwise, these are all normal notes.

Aniplex Fugou Keiji Livestream

Look out for the dancer from the OP

Onuki was the model for the dancing for the anime – he was told to do it out of the blue

Episode 11 might have one of these^ be relevant

Daisuke’s cup ramen has shark fin in it and he made the packaging from scratch – that’s why it’s so expensive!

The director Tomohiko Ito omits important information, allowing people to decide for themselves what happened. (Miyano) – This might be why the series is stylish. (MC)

Attractiveness of character design is important! (for adapting Fugou Keiji to modern day)

I’ve never watched a livestream where the stars were so conscious of their English and Chinese audiences! This was interesting, especially because Onuki is not normally known as a VA!

“We still have a little bit of recording to do.”

Fugou Keiji 2

I keep misunderstanding my own instructions…this starts again in July after ep 2.

Todai = Tokyo Daigaku (Uni).

I believe this is the 2nd time I’ve seen a rich person like commoner’s instant noodles, although I forget where I saw the 1stinstance.

Kambe switched to the back seat now, huh?

Ah! Now I remember! The first time was seeing spoilers for this episode on Twitter! (LOL)

I see Suzue has a sensible naming scheme for her data.

Hmm…judging by the Google hits, the name visible in the background (Betbeto bin Abura) is the Arabic prince from last time.

SYN-ACK. I see these guys did their work – that’s the final stage of the 3 stage handshake required for things like internet sockets (used to send “packets” of data).

Way to crash a party, Kambe siblings…(LOL)

I really wanna see someone draw Kato slapping (Daisuke) Kambe in the face with a wad of cash…or a “shut up and take my money” meme with Kambe in it.

I like how “special cup ramen” is on the purchases list and it costs 100000 yen. I also like how the reporter Mita was bought out for 5000000 yen (bigger than all the other individual costs except for buying out the Tower)…that’s how he showed up.

Kitsutsuki 2

I gotta finish this show and then pause it…3 shows in my normal lineup are safe.

Did Kindaichi take the bones of the fish out for Ishikawa…? Like a child would have had done for them?

Why is Ishikawa being referred to as “Hajime”…?

Draw this prostitute like one of your French girls…(LOL?)

Ishikawa clearly dropped those coins into that book earlier.

Way to diss the potential asexuality/celibacy in the house. I mean, it’s the 1800s – early 1900s, so there was less LGBTIQ+ stuff then and certainly the further back you go, the more sexual prowess becomes a sign of masculinity, but still, if the guy doesn’t want to go through with it, don’t force him.

Notice how the borders were pink for Ishikawa’s version and blue for Kindaichi’s.

Notably, Otaki didn’t seem to have that hairpin…but maybe that’s because we saw things from Ishikawa’s perspective.

Ooh…who are these bois? Also, crab.

Kitsutsuki 3

…cat? Now there’s a new perspective. That’s like saying the butler did it.

Yay! Hagiwara is Ume!

Notice Hagiwara’s version has a purple frame, while Yoshii (?) has yellow and another person has dark blue.

I think “consumption” was tuberculosis, once upon a time.

I love how the crowd is fed up with Ishikawa’s bulls***.

Ooh, chuuni Akutagawa…

In a Grove is the Rashomon story.

Tarou Hirai = Rampo Edogawa.

You stalker, future Rampo!

I kinda suspected Otaki when I thought through the possibilities…Ishikawa, Kindaichi, an outsider, Otaki (and as of this ep, Rampo too).

Gaiheikan? Is that Ishikawa and co.’s lodging?

Did they have pencils back in that day?

Kitsutsuki 4

Humouresques.

Kabayaki.

I think it was in Detective Conan that I learnt (one of) the only way(s) a man can get his nails done is by his wife doing it for him, possibly as a prank or to indicate he’s “taken”. Note this was early Detective Conan, so it’s very much a 90s attitude…considering the widespread acceptance of drag queens and the LGBTIQ+ movement these days.

Kozukata.

Lace flower.

Maichou seems to be a hybrid of Asahi Shinbun and Mainichi Shinbun.

[Monkfish/dictionary/going home] - Is this how Ishikawa shows consideration…?

The purple letterrboxing is back but this time with Ishikawa…meaning that’s just an aesthetic thing for all flashbacks after all.

Just from vaguely hearing it (I’ve got the volume on low), the words are nodo tsuki/nodo zuki. “Throat moon/throat wound” works just as well, if not better.

Balsam flower.

Update: Since enough anime fulfilled the special COVID-19 criteria, Kitsutsuki was put on hold after this.

Fruits Basket 2 2 (27)

I’ve read Another, remember?…so I kind of know what happens.

Uo’s got purple nails…that’s surprisingly cute of her.

Aw, Kureno! Another Ume role!

Why is “shisho” (master) not translated…? A weird Tokyopop-era translation quirk?

Aw, Shisho cut his hair…? Bummer.

Who was that? Shigure…?(!) Update: We find out his name later in this ep.

“If you continue to change, I’ll continue to protect you.” – Another quote for the archive.

Great…I feel personally called out by this ep.

Fruits Basket 2 3 (28)

It seems all male designers wear their designs if they have no one else to wear them…at least, that’s what I’ve gathered from Hajime (Runway de Waratte) and Ayame.

I remember Ayame stood in for Yuki’s parents in the manga at one point. This must be it.

(Spoilers for later!) I also remember Mine and Ayame get married at the end…This is the prelude to that.

Dang, Ayame, you moment-ruiner!

Fruits Basket 2 4 (29)

Did anyone in the doorway hear about Hatsuharu turning into an ox?

To quote Sailor Mercury, “Douse yourself in water and repent!”

Ooh, window splitting Yuki and Haru. Nice cinematography going on here.

I bet all people think they only think about themselves, in one way or another.

Arashiyama tofu.

Yatsuhashi are great. They’re these sweet triangle things like samosas that come in various flavours. Mitarashi dango are sticky brown skewered balls of glutinous rice…which I’ve never had, but I’ve seen them in enough anime to know what they are.

I only just realised this, but Yuki’s hairstyle isn’t even on both sides, like Atsushi from BSD’s.

Huh…you can see a copy of Mogeta and Ari (as it turns out, “Ari” is the name of a character and not “ant” at all in this case) on Haru’s bed. There’s also an article in one of the magazines discussing how denim is the popular thing now and which types are in right now.

Fruits Basket 2 5 (30)

I realised Yuki isn’t calling Tohru by her first name – he’s going against Haru’s advice.

Hmm? Why should anyone ask a rabbit to hold their horses…? (LOL)

CGI cars…*sigh*

Tororo is grated yam, IIRC.

I learnt recently that nanban means “savage” or “uncivilised”…for a potato and chicken dish, the name and the contents don’t really match…Update: Nanban means “savage” (noun) or “barbarian”. Close enough.

17-26…age gap 9 years…yikes…

The words “(a happy, yet) caged bird” come to mind when Kureno describes himself. Also, Kureno is an Ume role! Yippee!

Ahh…young love…even if it has a bit of an awkward edge to it. Mind the (age) gap!

Me being the Ume stan, of course I want to hear those sweet nothings in his voice, even if it has to be via a proxy like Uotani…I wouldn’t be an Ume stan if I didn’t.

…Ah, I see. Uotani reminds me of Minare from Wave and vice versa.

Oh, I just remembered Akito is 20 or thereabouts. Kureno/Akito is only a bit more legal than Uotani and Kureno.

Arte 3

Notice Leo never once uses Arte’s name in the lady’s presence. Her name does have some infamy to it, after all.

“She’s got some guts.” – You say that at a live dissection…LOL.

Is this love~? What’s the age gap between Leo and Arte, anyway? Update: We know for sure Arte is older than 13…that’s it.

Make the things you want prominent with perspective and such. I thought that much was obvious, but for someone straightforward like Arte, I guess it ain’t so. (Maybe it’s because I’m self-taught to some degree when it comes to art.)

*sketching by candlelight* - You’re gonna ruin your eyes, Arte!

Arte, ma girl! You’re getting’ a raise! Good job!

Arte 4

Anime makes this courtesan stuff sound like a host club…(?)

I thought Leo was saying “Aria” for a second instead of Arte, LOL. I’m getting too used to that being my alias…

Arte 5

The speech bubble said “so annoying I could die”.

Arte 6

The video’s gone all pixelated…at least, the subs have…

I bet she’s going to fall over…Update: Nup, she didn’t.

Arte 7

I thought Yuri was a Russian name…or a Japanese one.

This is basically Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine all over again! (LOL)

I thought Yuri would be pushy…like, “Here’s an offer you can’t refuse.” That kind of thing. Likewise, I didn’t think Arte would refuse.

Leo? *dun-dun-DUN!*

Siena is apparently in Tuscany. Also, I did see the Silent Manga Audition page had a chapter on a pregnant woman, so this is ch. 17 or thereabouts.

Is Ruthanna not getting the money because she’s pregnant…?

Epidemic? The Black Death?...Speaking of which, Arte is very much of that ganbaru spirit. By being progressive for her time, she becomes ordinary in our time.

Ohhhhhhh! It’s a reverse harem in progress here!...This would be a good otome game, come to think of it. It’s framed the same way.

Leo can be surprisingly childish at times, don’t you think?

Arte 8

…Really? She fell overboard? *raises eyebrow*

Ooh, china (with and without capitalisation).

Is this another sarcastic child…? Oh, bother. Still, I can see why Hamefura crossed over with Arte now…Katarina vs. Catarina!

Arte 9

Bigoli is a type of pasta, as can be guessed from context.

The kanji for the episode title literally translate to “bad child”! Like the Tones and I song, LOL!

Mikata (ally).

Arte 10

This episode is giving off a Katarina x Gimo ship vibe…but with how young they are, I’m not sure I should ship it. They’re 6, aren’t they…?

Oh, you can see Katarina and Sofia’s hug in one of the ED frames.

Arte 11

Arte’s let her hair grow out…

An Italian man…bowed. In Renaissance Italy. Now I understand what all the ANN complaints are for.

What’s up with that kid’s face…? *grumbles*

Leo’s just being Leo, I see.

That’s right, Angelo and Leo never met.

Instead of a father or a brother overly cherishing his daughter, it’s the uncle…I never thought I’d see the day I saw something like that.

Arte 12 (FINAL)

Is this like Orientalism, but with gender…? (What would you call that?)

Lemme guess…Leo is working on the church mural and so he’s away?

Was that Leo, in the middle of the mural somewhere…?

Another Japanese bow in this anime, which is set in Italy.

But where is Arte herself in that mural?

Fine = end.

Fruits Basket 31

The word Momiji is using is “hisso” or something like that. Hissho is secretary, so the translator made it “secret getaway” to make it work.

That hat! *laser stare*

*one of the textbooks has “high school chemistry” on it* Tohru can do chemistry?! I suck at chemistry!

The episode title is translated as “Are you really this stupid?” It seems the real line for that was “Are you an idiot?”

Something about high school girls appeared in my head when Haru mentioned Shigure wanting to see Tohru in her tight swimsuit…*mumbles grumpily about pervs*

Kyo’s not wet, even though he got in the water! Amazing!

I think it’s sad that Tohru responds to “stupid girl” like it’s her own name.

“…that makes you suspect me?” seems better.

The Akito and Shigure age gap is somewhere between 6 and 8 years, IIRC.

Fruits Basket 32

Tohru switched from okaasan (mother) to okattekita (a formal past tense verb meaning either “bought”, “lent” or “won” based on the characters…which I don’t have a reference for). I assume because it was so off the mark, the subbers chose a similarly off the mark word.

“When I was a kid, I thought watermelons would sprout in my stomach if I ate the seeds.”

We only know about Kyo’s dad so far…hmm…what about the mother? Update: (TW: suicide) I think it was at this point we already knew that Kyo’s mother didn’t love him and committed suicide, but it’s not certain until later.

Why do doctors always use scalpels and syringes as weapons…? I mean, even Jakurai’s symbol in ARB is a syringe!

I’ve been wondering…how big is the Sohma family? Is it diluted enough that Haru and Rin can love each other without genetic problems for their child/ren? (From Another, I would say the answer is “yes”, but shoujo normally doesn’t care about this sort of thing, which is why I ask in the first place.)

Shigure seems like the type to say, “U mad, bro?”

The mansion looks like the one in Haruhi Suzumiya, if I remember the appearance of that one correctly.

[cantusgratia]

leostar-survivor replied to your post “anyone ever: *microwaves frozen/instant meals* kyrie, fist tightly...”

(she would hate leo then because he likes the ramen raw)

//kyrie in the background tryin’ real hard not to hate on people and their personal preferences of food but goddammit,,, it physically pains witnessing someone eat raw noodles lmfao

[tsumiscribe]

are you still doing 10 headcanons for characters? if yes, daisuke! 💚

Sure am!  1) One of the reasons Daisuke became interested in cooking (ramen especially) is because his family was so dysfunctional that they didn’t have a lot of family meals, and he had to learn to make food for himself early on.  He found a lot of really creative ways to make meals out of instant ramen noodle packets. People might be surprised to find he’s actually already a decent cook by Jr. High.2) Daisuke actually has a bit of a self-esteem problem.  He covers it up really well, but he cares a lot about what other people think of him. 3) He does not even realize how Bi he is.  He definitely had as much of a crush on Willis as he ever did on Hikari, and don’t get me started on Ken, the one who eclipsed them all. 4) He may or may not be naturally left-handed, or ambidextrous, but trained to suppress it.  This is based entirely on the fact that when he emotionally struck out and slapped Ken, he used his left hand, rather than his right.  In the moment, you would be more likely to use your dominant hand, wouldn’t you?5) His Astrological sun-sign is Leo.  Seriously, just look up the traits of Leo and it is Daisuke to a T.6) He both envies and is baffled by Hikari and Takeru’s relationships with their older siblings.  He wishes he had Cool siblings like them, and thinks he just got unlucky with Jun.  But, even though she drives him absolutely crazy and embarrasses the hell out of him... she’s probably the one most likely to support him. (even if she is also the one to razz him the most)

7) He continues to play soccer all the way through high school, and even becomes team captain.  8)  He’s not a great student, but he’s not a terrible student either!  He’s mostly just bored/disinterested/lazy.  College wasn’t really for him, but Ken managed to convince him to take some business courses so that he’d be better prepared to start his own business.  After all, making Ramen was only half the job.9)  He likes kids and has always thought he’d be a good Dad.  10) He dates a LOT of girls between Jr High and College, but they never last very long.  He continues to spend most of his time with Ken, and unbeknownst to either of them, many of the chosen begin to take bets on What Is Going On There, and if/when they’re going to figure it out.
