Daddy's prettiest baby 8 years ago today

Ok, but Shen Jiu being Shen Yuan's father is so funny in a very tragic way. Shen Jiu is a ball of traumas and all types of issues and i truly believe there's not a single one that man doesn't have, so, you give him a baby!Shen Yuan, a little ball of life that depends on him for survival, cannot walk away from him and is culturally wired to pretty much love him and if not, to at the least respect him above all else, you cannot tell me that this man would be normal about him. Also, imagine Shen Jiu, who'd be the type of parent to project traumas the way only a mother could, having a child that looks like him but with a "sweeter" personality (which, by the way, is bullshit, they just have never seen that boy rip into a book he disliked but wouldn't stop reading) that has the effect on men Shen Yuan has, he'd lock that boy up in a tower to "cultivate" and consequently create a rumor about the Qing Jing's beauty who was so bewitching their peak lord father locked them in a tower because that's just his luck. Loving Shen Yuan wouldn't fix him, but it'd create a whole new set of issues that'd cancel out the other ones

O got a question for the SK boys. What are their opinions on the Pagent Moms aka the mothers who force their young kids to perform routines on a stage to be judged based on how they look and so forth and so on

Oh they despise parents who use their children for fame, especially if it's taxing on their physical and mental health.

Depending on the severity of the treatment, the boys might deem said parents as Rulebreakers. But I feel like in these cases, they may leave it to the authorities.

Here's my King of Pentacles card!

Definitely an obvious choice, but I went with Akiyama for this one. If you're interested in reading more about the King of Pentacles and my reasoning for choosing Akiyama for this card, I'll put that under the cut:

Upright, the King of Pentacles is the ultimate rags-to-riches story. He did not inherit his obscene wealth. He earned it through his own hard work. But unlike other wealthy individuals who come from similar circumstances, but lose their connection to the less fortunate, the King of Pentacles has chosen to uplift those around him and share his wealth.

In this generosity we see someone who has faith in their ability to make enough money to replace what they're giving away. To the King of Pentacles, the lives of the people he's helping are much more precious than the numbers in his bank account.

The King of Pentacles accrued his wealth in the traditional ways-- he's not one to gamble and he doesn't typically indulge in frivolous spending. Through his hardships he has learned the importance of controlling his spending and investing wisely. Showing off or taking risks on a whim no longer appeal to him. He would much rather use his money to help people and actually make a difference in other people's lives.

Emotionally, he's not all that in touch with his own feelings or the feelings of others. This is largely due to this king feeling like he has other things he'd like to devote his attention to. While he definitely cares about his loved ones and the people he serves, this can manifest in criticism or advice that you might not have asked for.

Reversed, we see a King who no longer supports his people. Whereas the upright King of Pentacles is generous and confident that he will make back everything he gives away (and then some), the reversed King of Pentacles sees no value in generosity. His controlled spending habits have become penny-pinching and cheap and his confidence is replaced with an almost desperate need for wealth in all its materialistic qualities.

Despite his obsession with all things commercial, this reversed king doesn't have that much money. It seems to just slip out of his hands, being spent on gambling or other impulse-purchases that he can't afford.

His previous lack of emotional intelligence is now downright cruelty. He is aware of others feelings and thoughts, but he simply does not care. He is now completely inwardly focused, choosing to take what he wants regardless of how it affects others.

Akiyama definitely fits the upright version of the King of Pentacles. Considering he runs a loan business that doesn't charge any interest, I'm not saying anything all that revolutionary.

Reversed though, I think there's a more interesting discussion to have about Akiyama's character and how it relates to this tarot card.

So I'm not a huge fan of the way Akiyama treats women in Yakuza 4. For one, the male customers he has get these personalized tests that make them face the issues that caused them to seek a loan in the first place, but then for the women it's just "work at my hostess club, go on a date with me, or be willing to do sex work". When looking at Akiyama's treatment of women in 4, specifically Yasuko, we see a man who wants something and engineers situations to manipulate the woman into giving him what he wants. Yasuko says so herself that she can't really decline a date with the person who decides whether or not she gets the loan.

And while Akiyama isn't evil or even necessarily doing this consciously, we see someone who is willing to hold the promise of a loan over the heads of the people who have something he wants.

Akiyama wants to help people and that's great, but there's also a dark side to his generosity.

Miss Universe Japan 2022 National Costume

In Japan, there is a culture of folding a "thousand yen" and sending a "thousand-yen" by paying attention to the times of competition and the healing of other people's illnesses. In Hiroshima, the city of bomb-hit city, there is a story of a girl named Yoko-san, who believed in her leukemia completely and kept folding her arms with medicine wrappers and wrapping paper. The project started with the idea of incorporating "peace" into costumes, under the direction of a designer from Nagasaki, Nagasaki, the city of peace, since Japan is the only country that has been hit by bombs. We made national costumes with the help of many people all over Japan, using fabric made from sustainable materials (precious anti-objects from dead stock and reusing unused white waste) with all our heart.

See crypto the workaround of putting bart in capital C cute clothes is just to explain that tim cassie or kon put his outfit together

They want their crisis in heelies to look adorable

anon i think u r extremely correct However in my brain tim kon and cassies stylistic sensibilities are also separately in their own special camps of "so bad its good"

maybe cissie would be a good fashion advisor.... perhaps not due to her own personal taste but because she knows what makes an outfit conventionally appealing

I completely agree w your last post!! Imo it's ironic when mm people get up in arms about alpha skin details when it's like... most of the kid/toddler clothes I've seen that registered as age inappropriate to me has been mm (altho my mama was old-school so I personally see things like crop tops for kids/toddlers as too much). There's a specific way that a lot of mm simmers make toddlers especially look "older" (super long adult hair conversions, for ex.). And I'm not saying it's *bad*, it just highlights how the adultification of Black kids exists almost everywhere, bc why is a long ass mm ponytail on a non-Black sim toddler a-okay but a long kinky alpha hair on a toddler is now "yassified" and "toddlers and tiaras"?

Yeah I agree tbh, I mean I see the adultification of child sims from both sides so there's no need to just vilify alpha simmers for it. To me it's a little bit how alpha simmers have also been almost universally pinned as the villains of the paywall debate despite many mm creators also doing scummy shit or even doxxing and getting away with it. But I still barely see anyone talking about that vs alphas perma-paywalling. I don't think it's intentional but I do think black ppl get criticized more harshly whatever they do and there's a higher amount of black alpha simmers bc its been very hard to find cc for us in mm style for a very long time. So a lot of ppl don't have any choice but to be alpha/mix. Also shocker some ppl just like alpha style! I don't think kid sims need a full beat and giant eyelashes and floor length hair, hell no lol, but I do think it's... interesting the type of language that gets used when discussing this topic and who gets the brunt of the criticism.
