✨PART 3✨ of things my husband does that are so violently Asher Coded, I had to compile a written list and turn them into headcanons:

~ quotes edition ~

part 1 • part 2

- “I would sell my body on the streets for a single shirley temple"

- “We need more rubber bands… we’re gonna have to get so much asparagus”

- “Sometimes you just have to bottom your way to the top”

- “So what was the point of knighting Paul McCartney and Elton John if they’re not even going to joust?”

- “Happy Mother’s Day to Milo Greer’s tits, and Milo Greer’s tits alone”

- “Baby, I’m your manic pixie nightmare”

- “Riddle me why the HELL all the groomsmen have such mad cake?”

- “That’s the name of my frat house: Kappa Cum Fuck”

- “I’d preserve you in resin and put you on my wall so I could study you every day. My little specimen <3”

- “So you mean to tell me that a ginger bred this man?”

- “Oh wow… Iceland is not where I expected”

- “I don’t fuck with micro-organisms”

- “And I’d throw it back for you if I didn’t just slip a disc last week”

- “Kiss that ghastly creature from the underworld like a real man smh my head. With tongue. Respectfully.” (about Brachium)

- “What day is $5 sushi Wednesday on again?”

just to clarify the reading of 「凡夫」

while common translation for 夫 by itself can be ‘husband’ (read as おっと / otto), the 夫 in 「凡夫」 is read as そ, giving the meaning of ‘that person.’

「凡夫」 meaning ‘that ordinary person.’

apologies if my English is not correct. I want to help with translation Japanese. :)

Yes, you are 100% correct. No one would ever think to read Bonpu as “mediocre husband” and that’s my point. Sukuna’s wordplay banks on you breaking the rules a little to see the hidden secondary meaning.

Take for example Sukuna's Shrine or 御厨子 (mizushi).

When analyzing the kanji, the person in this post says this:

"A “厨子/zushi”, ignoring the “mi”, is a small Buddhist shrine used for storage." 

"Also - the “厨/zu” kanji is most directly translated as “kitchen” iirc."

By isolating the kanji, the poster was able to explain why the Mizushi was translated as Kitchen or Shrine. They also concluded that both meanings were probably to be taken at the same time. That makes sense—it is quite literally a shrine in his Domain, but because we know Sukuna loves food and the rest of his Curse Technique (CT) is cooking prep themed, the kitchen reading is just as valid.

I linked another example in the Bonpu post...but the account that explained Enchain=Megumi Activities got nuked (screw you fElon Musk). I did take screenshots though!

So we have the translation of Enchain from 契闊 (keikatsu) which might be better localized as Separation.

契(kei)闊(katsu) can be written as 恵(kei)活(katsu). 恵 can be read as kei or...Megumi. (It's the literal kanji used for his name.) 活 is where you get "activities" from, which leads us to Enchain=Megumi Activities.

Sukuna is also referencing a poem about lovers. (Here's a link to the full poem and context of it.)

In summary, it’s about a soldier who is on the brink of death, having lost nearly everything after being abandoned by those in power, lamenting the happiest days of his life with his love are ones he can never get back. (Hey that sounds just like what Sukuna did to Yuji!)

Sukuna here is not only straight up telling Yuji he's going to steal Megumi's body, he's also mocking how the two will be separated by the act. (And he appears to be acknowledging the love between them is more like a couple's than it is friendship.)

But as you can see, the reading of “Megumi Activities” is not something the character hearing this or person reading the kanji would think of first. In hindsight we recognize that Sukuna was most certainly using that hidden secondary meaning.

With all this in mind, let's go back to Bonpu.

There are other kanji you can use for ordinary and unenlightened. There's also the fight being framed as a date and Gojo showing up to it dressed as a groom. That's why the kanji 夫 for husband is so sus. Perhaps Sukuna really did mean it that way too. (It doesn’t help that Sukuna hesitates slightly before he says Bonpu in an isolated bubble. This framing draws attention to it in a way I can’t ignore.)

Hopefully this explanation makes sense?

Completely unrelated...

I'm choosing to ignore that 契 (kei) in Keikatsu/Enchain is also the kanji used for sexual intercourse, especially between husband and wife, since it might mean there's a 3rd layer to Sukuna's Keikatsu wordplay of 契(chigi, spousal sex)活(katsu, activities). Hang on maybe I need to update Sukuna's Negative Rizz again.

for the record, this is a ✨nagisa safe space✨

Okay but for real if just seeing the tags on a fic triggers you and leaves you in a state of distress so bad that it ruins your day and you end up thinking about it for several days, then you should seriously consider searching for a therapist and looking into trauma therapy. Ruminating (instead of using a healthy coping mechanism to calm down and manage your emotions) is incredibly unhealthy and maladaptive.

genuinely cant wait for art school to be over for the year so i can focus on my art

[seventh-district]

again and again i find myself lamenting that audio roleplay isn't taken more seriously by some people. like yeah, they often have a romantic element, and by nature they usually directly involve/address the listener- and i totally get that those things aren't to everyone's taste. no art or entertainment is universally appealing, and that's okay! but.. it still makes me a lil sad that the "cringe" reputation of asmr/audio rp precedes it. there's a whole lot of talent and creativity being poured into these audios by so many people that i feel goes unrecognized and/or disrespected simply due to the medium that the stories are being told through.

[each-uisge-enthusiast]

so, overall i think kaos is a pretty solid idea. i just think it sorta failed to stick the landing by opting to veer away from the less acceptable within the mainstream kinds of weird strange disturbing shit (zeus turning into an animal to bang people. the mpreg of it all. the increasingly more batshit things hera did to the women zeus assaulted bc i’m gonna be so serious her just turning them all into bees is objectively less funny than the actual myths) and replaced it with things that honestly feel more like if you combined real housewives esque drama with the inner mechanisms of an edgy 12 year old and their edgy original characters do not steal (trademark).

i was fond of the dionysus depiction. the furies were dykes on bikes so literally nothing they did could be wrong to me (i also just think that the depiction of them was neat). i sort of liked the hades/persephone depiction but i don’t like that they just entirely erased the narrative behind them because if you’re going to dark comedy greek mythology then you’re a coward for not making the hades/pers dynamic more of a. fucked up ‘well i’m stuck with this so fine whatever ig’ dynamic than. whatever that was. i saw the ariadne twist from a mile off though that didn’t make it BAD i actually thought it was funny (don’t like that they called the minotaur glaucus though because glaucus is an entirely different brother of ariadne). honestly think if they were real they would not have had hera cheat with poseidon and instead had zeus cheat with poseidon.

i’m mad about the caeneus power nerf and i. don’t know that i’m all that fond of the fact that the amazons are depicted as terfs but that could be a personal bias because i’m quite fond of the amazon warriors. i also think it was a bit cowardly (though admittedly probably due to concerns of cgi costs) that they simply didn’t have have mythological creatures really show up, at all. weak. i want harpies. and i want them now. i will say i was absolutely delighted by the cerberus dogs and any complaints i would have taken were overruled by the dogs.

i will say that i’m aware it wasn’t STRIVING to be accurate so much as to be weird au fanfic, which is technically fine, i just think it would have been improved on if it had included the more fucked up aspects (big asterisk i can get why they’d skip over the never ending sexual assault if only bc it would be really poor taste to try make jokes about THAT) because a lot of it felt like pretty standard faire shock value immorality.

2). YES YES YES, exactly. He’s sleeping.

i was supposed to get chores done this evening and instead i entered some sort of fugue state involving writing several hundred words of character-identity-porn so suffice it to say things are getting weird

[stonebutchery]

transmisogyny-exempt trans people are fabricating scenarios in the "transandrophobia" tag and across social media platforms as if churning out reactionary propaganda campaigns against transfems is their fucking job.

i'm sorry that transfems talking to each other in some micro trans community discord servers about the structural reality of transmisogyny and sharing memes about transfemininity apparently makes you feel so insecure about yourself but you are drowning in conspiracy theory sewage water right now and you need to wake up because nothing that you're saying has any basis in truth and it is threatening the safety of our trans sisters in the real world for you to carry on thinking like this.

you are part of the problem. "there's so much infighting in the trans community" and you are the one making it happen. you are the one literally manufacturing a term—in direct reaction to transmisogyny-affected people explaining the dynamics of privilege and power that they are affected by—for something that not only is not an example of structural oppression ("androphobia" and "misandry") but does not exist in reality. you know, because we live under patriarchy. please get a grip.
