Japanese Reading Resources for Absolute Beginners

A question I encounter often is "How much Japanese should I study before I can begin reading in Japanese?"

From my experience as a learner and reader myself and from managing a Japanese book club for other learners I can honestly say that you can start way earlier than you probably think!

There are many resources that only require knowing hiragana. Those texts usually teach vocabulary through pictures and only use basic grammar.

Some are even simpler than that: The Japan Foundation's Hiragana Books are great for those, who are still remembering hiragana characters. Every short book introduces only 1-2 new characters, so it's a great reading exercise for those who've just started.

The free graded reader 「どうぞ、どうも」 by the NPO Tagengo Tadoku only uses the words 「どうぞ」 and 「どうも」 to write an entire story. Again, this makes for a great exercise in reading hiragana and understanding context. Another "level 0" recommendation by the same NPO would definitely be 「しろい？くろい？」. This book uses the full range of hiragana characters but the grammar is simple and all used vocabulary is illustrated.

Another site with great resources for absolute beginners is Nihongo Tadoku Dōjō. If you have memorized both hiragana and katakana and know how the particles を and で work you will be able to read this text about stationary (ぶんぼうぐ) and understand everything by looking at the pictures!

The resources linked so far can all be accessed completely free on the linked websites. If you have the money to spare, please also have a look at the box 「スタート」 from the series reberubetsu nihongo tadoku raiburarī published by the NPO Tagengo Tadoku and ASK (affiliate link). This box includes 8 little books in very simple Japanese.

All these texts for absolute beginners will get you started reading in Japanese with very little knowledge of characters and vocabulary.

Reading in Japanese is a skill that requires practice. But once you get used to it, it can be such a valuable tool to reinforce new vocabulary and grammar. So please don't wait until you're "ready" before you start reading - start early at your own level!

Terrible Fic Idea #87: Percy Jackson, but make it MCU

Look, I didn't want to come up with yet another crazy PJO crossover, but here I am. Because instead of just coming up with the lightest, fluffiest, gayest PJO romance possible - which is what I wanted - I had to turn it into an MCU identity reveal fic too.

Or: What if post-ToA Percy Jackson was Peter Parker's caseworker following Aunt May's untimely death?

aka the I would stay forever fic

Just imagine it:

Tony Stark first meets Percy Jackson in the ICU of Metropolitan General the day after Peter and his aunt are caught in a terrible subway accident. May dies on scene. Even with his advanced healing, Peter is badly injured and taken to the nearest hospital - where it quickly becomes apparent he's Enhanced. It takes about 24 hours for the news to make its way to Tony, who immediately storms the hospital with the intention of taking Peter back to his Tower to heal-

-only to be told Peter's not going anywhere by the social worker assigned to the case.

This is remarkable for many reasons, not the least because the social worker is an unassuming, overworked 27-year-old wearing Finding Nemo socks and a faded Save the Oceans t-shirt. That the case worker - Percy Jackson - stands his ground in the face of Iron Man's wrath is even more remarkable, but Tony is forced to admit the kid has a point: he can't just let someone without any obvious connection to a minor walk off with said minor, particularly when that minor is Enhanced.

It takes Tony a couple days to get his ducks in a row, proving that he is not only able and willing to take in Peter, but is the one his aunt wanted to take care of him in the event something happened to her. During that time he has JARVIS research everything he can on Percy (lives in a Central Park penthouse owned by his long-time boyfriend, a successful music producer; volunteers for a NPO started by his best friend dedicated to restoring the wild; brief stint as the youngest ever on the FBI's most wanted, etc), but finds nothing to suggest he's anything other than a social worker trying to do what's best for his charges.

Percy becomes a semi-regular fixture at the Tower. At first it's just business, checking in on how Peter is doing and facilitating the foster care/adoption paperwork. Later it becomes something akin to friendship, with Percy being utterly unimpressed by Tony's fame but remarkably charmed by his inventions and philanthropic efforts. (He also comes to have strong feelings about the Rogues and their actions during the Civil War once he learns of them, helping Tony to see their betrayal for what it is. This alone makes him one of Rhodey and Pepper's favorite people.)

This goes on for quite some time - though I see this as happening post-CACW, we don't jump straight into the Infinity War, with there being several years wherein the Accords are ratified, the Rogues found and tried for their actions in the Civil War, and for the most part allowed to return to the Avengers on a probationary basis - until Thor finally arrives with news of Thanos' impending arrival.

Only Percy happens to be visiting when Thor arrives and the Avengers naturally have questions after Thor addresses him as Prince Perseus.

The truth of Percy's identity comes out in fits and starts (demigod son of Poseidon, saved the world a couple times, ascended to become God of Heroes, Natural Disasters, and Poison as well as Patron God of New York City; has been dating Apollo since he was fourteen; yes, is actually a social worker, albeit one who takes cases across the country to protect demigods and Enhanced), which is not helped by Thor (who can't help but comment on what he knows of Percy's heroics) or Apollo (who shows up after Percy texts an SOS but can't help but talk up his boyfriend either.)

The Infinity War still happens, albeit rather differently than in canon - perhaps Thanos turns out to be a disgruntled child or sibling of Gaia out for revenge, justifying Greek/Roman interference? But the details don't really matter as much as the identity reveal.

And... that's really all I have with regards to plot. But there should be a lot of character moments leading up to the reveal that hint at who Percy really is but which don't form a coherent narrative until the truth is revealed.

Bonuses include:

The softest, fluffiest romance possible for Apollo and Percy, with the pair more or less falling head over heels at first sight at the start of TTC, having their first kiss at the party at the end of the book, and dating throughout the rest of the Titan War. Apollo goes absolutely batshit insane when Percy goes missing at the start of HOO and breaks out of Olympus to crash the Senate meeting at the end of SoN and check on his boyfriend, and eventually gets made mortal for helping too much during the Giant War. The broad strokes of ToA occur with Percy fighting at his now-mortal boyfriend's side, and Percy ascends to godhood when Apollo regains his. There's some tension (Zeus is not happy about his firstborn son's choice of lover, fearing overthrow; Poseidon fears Apollo will end up breaking Percy's heart, but softens after Percy ascends and his chance of becoming a flower diminishes; many CHB campers think Percy's mad for dating a god, etc) but for the most part it should be as fluffy as circumstances allow.

Percy having been really obvious about his background, but in ways that seem reasonable ("How did you meet your boyfriend?" "I was at a really bad party when a friend ended up calling her brother to pick us up early. I fell in love with his car and then with him.") or like jokes ("Those sea turtles really seem to like you." "I like them too." "I guess they're kind of cute." "Excellent conversationalists too.") until the full truth comes out; and

Thor attempting to make up for blowing Percy's cover in dramatic (and hilarious) ways. This should include the gift of at least one native Asgardian water plant ("Dude, have you never heard of invasive species?") and end in a bakery's worth of Asgardian baked goods.

And that's all I have, though given the way this has been living rent-free in my head all week there may be more. As always feel free to adopt this bun, just link back if you do anything with it.

Hello hellooos! Would you be down to answer 20, 22 and 24 from the oc ask game list for 3 ocs of your choosing?👀

Ty for asking, Chichi!! 💕💕 I'm going to answer for Elle, Ellis, and Alina!

20) What hobbies does your OC have?

This question made me forget every single hobby that ever existed 😅 but I'll try my best!

Elle has volunteered at an animal shelter for years! She temporarily stopped going for several months after the incident with Hope (she couldn't leave the house at all for the longest time, and then she could only leave if either Nick or Sally went with her), but when she started to recover and get back into a better place, she resumed volunteering. Elle also likes kayaking and running - she likes these kinds of steady, rhythmic forms of physical activity, where she can kind of lose herself in the motion and let her mind drift a bit.

Ellis is my innovative Button, so he's into thinks like programming and engineering. He's casually into video games and has built a gaming computer (though that was more because he enjoyed the "building a computer" part than the "gaming" part).

Alina has (relatively) recently started to learn some fibre arts! I think she's started to either knit or crochet, though she's still learning (she's been trying to make a simple scarf and hat, but everything has been so busy that it got abandoned last winter while she was working on it and it hasn't been picked up since). I can definitely see her making a hat or a scarf for the members of UB at some point (once she ever has time again), but they would likely be very simple.

22) Does your OC have a job and what is that occupation? Are they currently happy with it?

Elle and Ellis are both MIV trainees at Unity, and they both are pretty content with their jobs. Elle, however, is eyeing the NPO program with great interest (not because she doesn't like being an MIV - she does actually quite enjoy the strategist portion - but because she's always been interested by the field work), though she's not entirely certain she wants to join (she doesn't think it's strategically advisable to put herself up against Ment opponents, given her mind blindness).

In Elle's ideal world, she would want to be trained both as a MIV and an AMO (similar to how UCRT members have both strategist and field operative training). Elle would want to operate as an AMO when facing unpowered opponents such as Vengeance (and, given that the NPO program was designed to allow Unity to fight for jurisdiction over cases involving anti-Ment groups, Elle could have a future specializing in combatting anti-Ment extremism) and operating as an MIV in most other cases. Elle is also interested in pursuing Ambrose's position as UCRT's tactical supervisor (Glitch could be trained to take over Ambrose's work on undercover ops, given that Glitch's brain won't leak confidential information like a sieve and that Glitch doesn't always have the highest opinion of Unity's Ment operatives. Elle could be trained to take over Ambrose's work as UCRT's tactical supervisor, as she has a stronger investment in UCRT than Glitch does and because she will likely be able to get Nick to complete his paperwork on time if she sniffles and lets out some alligator tears).

(Honestly, all of my Buttons would be pretty interested in this kind of AMO-against-Norms-MIV-against-Ments (especially after being a part of Operation Hemera) + UCRT tactical supervision work, now that I think about it 🤔.)

In Elle's case, she would be interested in joining the NPO program even if it would require her to be a field operative in cases involving Ments (though she has some hesitations). Ellis, in comparison, would be far less comfortable facing Ments that way and would be more likely to stick to being an MIV, even if the NPO program does interest him after his work with Operation Hemera.

(Mind Blind also lets you choose what jobs Button did during their gap years between high school and joining Unity, so I'll share Elle and Ellis's as a treat: Elle started her own dog walking business and Ellis was contracted to do remote IT work.)

Alina was not a big fan of being a police officer (or even being the detective). She didn't join the force because she wanted to be a police officer per se (she actually joined so she could try and slip her way into a more forensic-focused position despite not having the necessary credentials), but she did find some meaning in being able to help the people of Wayhaven. She often felt like she wasn't really being challenged in her role as an officer, though (prior to B1, my understanding is that the town's crime rate was significantly lower and there were very rarely cases of any significance in Wayhaven, so "helping the townsfolk" might have looked more like resolving a dispute over someone's bike being stolen as opposed to a murder or a missing persons case). It's for that reason that Alina enjoyed her work as a detective more than she did her work as an officer (it was more intellectually challenging for her), but she still wasn't particularly in love with her role as the town's detective. (She liked it well enough to stay and found meaning in the job, to be clear, but it wasn't really what she had wanted to do with her life).

Alina is enjoying her job (what she's done of it, at least, through B2 and B3 and the training in B4) as an Agent much more than she enjoyed her work as a detective. She's facing new and engaging challenges, she's able to feel like she is making a significant and material differences in people's lives, she's able to use more of her research and scientific skills... It's still nowhere near where she thought she would be, but she does enjoy it a lot more than she did her work for the police station.

24) What kind of sleeper is your OC? Light or heavy? What side do they sleep on? Do they like to sleep over or under the covers?

I joked about Elle and Kent's sleeping arrangements a few times before and the extremity of the situation is exaggerated but I stand by it, lol. Elle is a very clingy cuddler when she sleeps (she jokes that the reason she's able to function normally and not be all over Kent all day is because she gets it in at night). If you're standing at the foot of the bed, Elle sleeps on the right side, but really she sleeps pretty much on top of Kent. They have a pretty even division between two different cuddling positions: 1) Kent lays on his back, Elle lays on her side/stomach with her head on his chest and her arm draped across him; and 2) spooning with Kent as the big spoon and Elle as the little spoon (Kent does not get any more bed than normal).

Ellis is a side sleeper if he's sleeping by himself. However, Sally likes to sleep starfished out on her stomach over most of the bed (which means she'd be at least partly on top of him), so Ellis taught himself how to sleep on his back when he was around 12-13 years old so that he (and Sally) could sleep more comfortably during sleepovers. Little did he know how important learning to sleep on his back would be in his future, lol. Ellis is pretty good about sleeping through movement (he can sleep through general shifting around in bed, but Sally at her kickiest will wake him up) but particularly loud noises will wake him up. If you stood at the foot of the bed, Ellis would sleep on the right side.

Alina is also a cuddler! I've briefly talked a bit about it before (namely that she and Nate have Designated Cuddle Time after she turns). She is partial to a somewhat more extreme of Elle and Kent's head-on-chest cuddling style: Alina's -referred cuddling position is on her stomach with her face in the crook of Nate's neck with his arms around her. She used to be a fairly heavy sleeper, but now she gets nightmares :(. If you were standing at the foot of the bed, Alina sleeps on the left side.

hey girl how’s your wifi doing also can you translate last post for people who don’t speak nurse 💔

Happy Saturday everyone!! The good news: wifi was fixed yesterday. The bad news: in reviewing the chapter I made a few little changes that turned into big changes and now I'm stuck with a few more pages to write but absolutely slammed with work since starting the new semester Thursday. Currently trying to type quick sentences between breaks crying trying to read these EKGs and not lose my mind over how much I suck at cardiology 😭Ideally, the chapter would be out today, but realistically, I'm looking at tomorrow or Monday. I really appreciate everyone understanding- as much as I want to curl up with a blanket and write, school/ my career comes first!

As for translating my nurse-speak, that leads to something new I'm doing for this chapter and each one from here on out- adding a medical glossary to the end of the chapter! I love love love education and helping people learn new things so wanted to provide that opportunity. I really am procrastinating now, but let's break down my last excerpt together (I'm justifying that this is nursing education so technically I'm doing schoolwork) 😉

ALL: acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Hemoglobin: a protein needed to transport oxygen in the blood. A hemoglobin < 7.0 is the threshold to receive a blood transfusion. A hemoglobin <5.0 is life-threatening and can result in heart failure/ death.

PRBCs: packed red blood cells, a type of blood product used for transfusions.

Hypoglycemia: low blood sugar (<70).

D5W: dextrose in water, a type of IV fluid that contains sugar.

NPO: nothing by mouth.

ABG: arterial blood gas, a type of blood test that draws blood from the artery instead of the vein. It tests the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, as well as the blood's pH.

Dyspnea: shortness of breath.

3L NC: 3 liters of oxygen via nasal canula, an oxygen delivery device consisting of a thin tube with prongs that go in each nostril.

12 French foley: foley is another term for a urinary catheter. There are a variety of sizes, 12 French is the typical size for an adolescent male.

18 gauge: IV size. The gauges range from 14-26. The higher the number, the smaller the size of the IV canula. Large gauges are needed for transfusing thick products such as blood, 14G is standard in adults but 18G is acceptable in an adolescent.

Right antecubital: inside of elbow, site where blood is typically drawn from and where IVs can be placed.

Saline lock: used when IV is not currently running/ hooked up to anything, keeps the patency of the IV open with saline.

I know NaNoWriMo as an NPO has shit the bed but as November approaches I do still plan to do the 50k challenge for my next novel!! :D Here is the current working synopsis!

This Edge of Midnight

Between working a dead-end job at a local diner that serves food she can’t eat, an obsession with an obscure band that broke up half a decade ago, and the creeping worry that the flame has finally fizzled out between her and her boyfriend Zeph, Mickie Torres’ greatest reprieve from the stressors of life is the goth scene of 1990s Los Angeles, a sprawling dark haven where freaks congregate in the not-so-dark city night to be enveloped by fog machines, hear music on blown out speakers, and dance on floors stickied with vodka cranberries. A reverse Tower during Mickie’s Monday morning tarot reading marks the beginning of a week that starts bad and gets worse. As tensions rise and the strain of a failing relationship hangs as heavy in the air of her and Zeph’s shared apartment as the burger grease that clogs her pores each day at work, hearts are broken, voices are raised, and spells are cast. Then, at a house party the following weekend, Zeph turns up dead in the upstairs bathroom. The police are quick to rule out foul play, but with looming memories of bitter accusations and spell jars of hair clippings and chili powder Mickie’s not as convinced that something more sinister isn’t afoot, and as her life falls apart around her, one question remains footed firmly in the rubble: Did she, somehow, kill her boyfriend?

The results of the best K3 song bracket are known!

And the winner is... Oya lélé!!!

Tele-Romeo finished second and Alle Kleuren ended up in the third place. Hart verloren just fell out of the top 3 and ended up in fourth place.

And with this the competition is over, I posted the bracket first on March 22nd and the first polls the day after. That means it took over 3 months to determine the very best K3 song of all 4 generations. I had great fun seeing people campaigning for their favourite songs in the notes, why they think a certain song is better and occasionally sharing stories of times they performed one of these songs as a kid, so thanks to everyone who voted and/or reblogged some polls, some comments really made my day and I hope this tournament reminded you of some old songs or introduced you to some new ones.

Speaking of which, my next plans are to run 3 more tournaments to determine the best song of each non-og generation, because the og was (kinda understandably) overrepresented in this tournament and I thought it might be fun to give the other 3 formations a chance and some other people also liked this idea when I polled people a few weeks ago. So, ehm, keep posted for that I guess. It won't start immediately, because I am kinda busy atm and I need to figure out some logistics for the kkj generation (does de revolutie count as an og song or a kkj song??), so you might see me outsourcing some decisions through polls in the coming weeks.

Finally, now that I have your attention, I've been running a 2-year campaign to get K3 in the NPO radio 2 top 2000, and specifically Oya lélé and since Oya lélé did actually win this, I think I might be able to convince you to vote for Oya lélé as the K3 song representation of the top 2000, so if you would please consider voting for Oya lélé in 5 months and if possible try to convince other people to do so too, you would make me very happy. (Also because I do not have other social media so I can only campaign for it here)

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles ➳ Archives ➳ Operation Javier ➳ Characters

Leon S. Kennedy

Member of a secret US military agency.

He was sent to a remote area of ​​South America on Government orders to investigate Umbrella 's relationship to drug lord Javier Hidalgo. Having encountered numerous BOWs in the past, he has a working knowledge of how to engage BOWs in combat.

Though generally a cool character, he tends to be awkward around women. His middle name is Scott.

Jack Krauser

A member of the US SOCOM. He was sent to a remote area in South America on government orders to investigate Umbrella’s relationship to drug lord Javier Hidalgo. Jack is an exceptional soldier who has led many successful operations. Even when he encounters a B.O.W. for the first time, he shows no sign of fear. He has never been quite at home in everyday society, and feels that each day he spends fighting in the military gives his life meaning.

Guide

A teacher in the village of Mixcoatl. While an exchange student, he worked for an NPO. When he returned to his home village, he became a teacher, and dedicated himself to raising educational standards. He was hired by a US secret military agency after they took notice of his high-level information gathering skills, and reliability, to work as their informant into Javier’s dealing in the area.

He knew that spying on Javier could prove to be a dangerous proposition, but after seeing Javier’s tyranny take the lives of so many of his countrymen, he agreed to the US government’s proposition. Sadly, he was attacked and killed by a B.O.W. released by Javier in retaliation. As a result, Leon and his team were left with no choice but to carry on with their mission without a guide.

Manuela Hidalgo

The girl Leon’s unit saved in the church, and the daughter of the target of their investigation. Her mother died when she was only 5 years old. She was brought up wanting for nothing, smothered in her father’s generous affection.

A certain event caused her to leave her live of luxury in Javier’s mansion. She spend 3 days and 3 nights in the jungle, and escaped to a village downriver called Mixcoatl. That night, the village was destroyed by the B.O.W. unleashed by Javier.

Manuela Veronica

The awakened Manuela; infused with the T-Veronica Virus.

In spite of the fact that she mutated without having waited 15 years, she can control the power of the virus under normal consciousness.

Moreover, just like Alexia, she can spit out blood that she can ignite, but using too much blood also means harming herself.

Files with no gifs to go with them:

Javier Hidalgo

A drug lord who built a powerful crime empire in the South American country of Amparo. He got his start by turning to drug dealing when he was only a teenager. By viciously and mercilessly murdering his enemies he found himself atop a massive crime syndicate. Because he uses his immense wealth and armed might to influence law enforcement, the actions of his organized crime ring go largely unchecked inside his own county.

The Organization’s wealth has chiefly come from the drugs it exports al over the world, but recently it has been branching out into human trafficking. Javier holds an immoral philosophy in which he’ll do anything to get what he wants, and will place protecting those he loves above all. He rules with a ruthless intolerance of treachery and is very generous and compassionate towards those who follow him, which is why there are those who love and respect him as a hero.

Albert Wesker

The person behind the biological disaster in Amparo, and who has at least some involvement in every T-Virus related scheme to date. After being nominated to manage the Umbrella Management Training Facility in the 1970s, he was one of the foremost researches, active on Umbrella’s viral research programs. It was right around the time his colleague, Dr. William Birkin’s research on the T-Virus was nearing its completion that Wesker transferred to the company’s intelligence division. Wesker became the team leader of S.T.A.R.S, but that was only to conceal his true intentions.

He used the disaster at Arklay to his own advantage. After guiding his subordinates to the mansion, he secretly went off to collect data on the nearly perfected B.O.W.s that had been developed there. His true intentions were discovered by Chris Redfield and a few other surviving S.T.A.R.S. members. It was thought that Wesker was killed by the Tyrant, but before he died, he injected himself with the T-Virus. After collecting as much information as he could, and escaping the mansion he went to work for one of Umbrella’s rival companies, bringing with him all the live battle data he had collected.

That same year, right before the biological disaster and subsequent bombing of Raccoon City, he received help from the spy Ada Wong in acquiring a sample of the G-Virus developed by Dr. Birkin. Several months later, he attacked the Ashford family administered Rockfort Island and the Antarctic base in the search of the T-Veronica virus that had been developed by Alexia Ashford. He made off with the body of Steve Burnside, which was harboring T-Veronica. And as a new millennium began, he turned his interest to South America… Wesker comes into contact with a man frantically searching for a treatment for his daughter, the drug lord, Javier Hidalgo. He sold T-Veronica to Javier as an analeptic drug for a large sum of money and a stake in a collusive business partnership. What Wesker’s motives were for putting T-Veronica, whose effects would ripple throughout the entire continent, in the hands of Javier, no one knows.
