&. 𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐈’𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 !!

𝟎𝟏 . ALIAS / NAME : : Hannah ! ‘tis my real name. I used to have an internet alias and I understand them!! but at some point i just went “you know what? My name is a matter of public record anyway” and just stopped using names that weren’t my own (i fully wholly enthusiastically advocate for Young People(TM) using not their real names if they’re going to be on the internet!!! Do not tell strangers your business!!!!!! Also of course anyone who wants to keep that private I just mean like. I was 12 and on the internet and people did not need to know my name when i was 12 and on the internet ya feel??)

𝟎𝟐 . BIRTHDAY: : 26th November ! (i will be 24 this year.........weird)

𝟎𝟑 . ZODIAC SIGN: : Sagittarius ! (if you’re into the deeper bits, it’s Sag Sun/Gemini Moon/Sag Rising lol)

𝟎𝟒 . HEIGHT : : like i think it’s 5′9″ but i don’t actually remember. I am semi-tall. I am taller than my mom and both of my older siblings >:3c

𝟎𝟓 . HOBBIES: : reading, writing, arting, i do a little bit of the #gaming (not a lot but a little lol), i don’t know if it counts as a hobby but i find myself increasingly fascinated by linguistics and phonology and how those relate to the way that humans relate to/differ from each other and the role that language(s) play in our social, familial, and formal relationships. Also slang is just really cool. Also accents are really heckin cool

𝟎𝟔 . FAVOURITE COLOUR : : If it’s any variant of a blue-green/teal I like it

𝟎𝟕 . FAVOURITE BOOK : : The Neverending Story by Michael Ende (i have the english edition translated by Ralph Manheim!) It was one of my three top favorite childhood films and then in high school I bought the book and proceeded to carry it around with me everywhere. I drew in the book! I bought a necklace that still has powerful I-feel-safer-when-I’m-wearing-it properties to it. I have tattoo plans!!!! (one day......one day.) Also it’s a really good book for like... allegorically confronting childhood(/teenaged) loss and grief and reconciling what that does to self-image and the relationships that are still to be found. I mean I say that i think it’s just good literature in general but it is ALSO family-friendly and the protagonist is very young so it is through this sort of childhood lens but I think it is rather broadly applicable. At the very least, it sure did Get Me.

𝟎𝟖 . LAST SONG : : I have had My Immortal stuck in my head all day without the faintest notion of why

𝟎𝟗 . LAST FILM / SHOW: : I watched the 2015 Cinderella at like 4:30 this morning at cried through the WHOLE thing, man. It’s so good. Like unpopular opinion(?) they did that one so good when they took it to live action and have no quite matched the love and sincerity and fun that went into that movie with any of the other remakes. Also Kit’s so flippin cute if I was still running my multi I’d slap him over there so fast I don’t know why I didn’t have him to begin with frick he’s so good he’s so good he’s so good

𝟏𝟎 . INSPIRATION: : You know that line in Hamilton where he says “I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory”? There’s a thing where Lin was talking about the experience of writing/performing that and he said something along the lines of ‘i felt naked but it’s the way to write the really good things that resonate with people’? That. (And that does go for all of my android kids. There was a lot I didn’t Put Out There when I was a teenager and there’s something kind of baring and (hopefully) striking the things that come from these characters as I write them and some of the things I didn’t have the courage to say then in a retrospective space now.)

𝟏𝟏 . STORY BEHIND URL: : I am bad at urls! and i tend to default to foreign language when i am struggling to think of something. In this case, “liliummalum” being latin and translatable as both “wrong lily” (a thing she thinks of herself) and “false lily” (grounding the truth of the fact that she simply isn’t lily and that, one day, that will be a point of power for her. What she is not becomes a case for what she is, which is so much more than a ghost)

for daisy’s case the original was just the model number because (again) i am bad at urls but then i was sort of digging around about her name’s origins and i already knew that daisy’s are heliotropic and also do that thing some plants do where they close their petals at night and open when the sun rises again - what i didn’t know was that that’s how they got their name, which was at once point “day’s eye” that, over the years, got sort of mushed and squushed into being daisy; there’s a Geoffrey Chaucer poem where he refers to “the eye of the day” and I was like “chaucer u saucy bitch that’s a good one”

tagged by: @wasscared technically tagged daisy but it’s all me shh

tagging: Go forth and loot and plunder! And tag me!!

SDF Macross Ep. 8: The Longest Birthday

Any scene with Minmay feels like the longest anything so

We open with Breetai and Exedore contemplating the humans’ progress toward their planet, wondering if they have let them get too close. But nah, it’s just going to be eveb more awesome when they defeat them within sight of their home, so it’s all good. The only thing Breetai is worried about is... Kamujin!? Like dude YOU hired him. And he was being good last episode. I mean, he isn’t going to be now but that’s beside the point :v.

Yeah he is totally planning to pretend to do a training flight and instead attack the Battle fortress. This will become a pattern, lol.

Yeah he will. Also, seeing the Zentraedi use slang like this amuses me a great deal :3c

Yeah, stick it to him baby! :3

So Rick is getting a medal and promoted, I can only imagine because they are running out of guys. Roy puts him in charge of Hayao something and Maximillian Jenius (subtle foreshadowing, so subtle). Rick has to get to Minmay’s party and ends up dragging them along, although Hayao would apparently prefer to go to a strip club... Lisa realizes standards aren’t what they used to be when she hears about Rick’s promotion.

I mean, she’s not wrong

Anyway Minmay is salty that Rick didn’t bring her a present. She starts flirting with Max, who, to be fair, is cuter and less of a dolt. Hilariously the mayor is at this party and WILL NOT stop calling Rick ‘Lil’ Hikaru.’ xD

On the bridge Lisa realizes her radar is being jammed just as Khyron sends his first guys to draw out the defenders.

Such drama. I stan. :3

So the guys get called into action and Minmay is a brat about them having to leave, predictably.

Kamujin’s ‘decoy’ force draws off the main valkyries, and then his main force attacks. Macross is getting its butt kicked although Max is doing great. Almost like he’s... some kind of... geinus... Hayao sucks at everything but being loud. There is a pretty sweet standoff between Kamujin and Lil’ Hikaru where they each cut the hands off each other’s mechs.

Breetai is watching and complaining about ‘typical Kamujin.’ Again, YOU HIRED HIM. He decides that even though Kamujin is WINNING, he can’t let him just do whatever he wants (this will again be a pattern...) and orders them recalled, threatening to send Kamujin ‘back to where they came from’ if he does not retreat. I remember that in the English version this was not an order/threat but like a remote override that recalled Khyron’s ships against his his will. EIther way Kamujin is pissed.

After the battle Rick goes over to Minmay’s. He still doesn’t have a present so he gives her his medal. She can’t tell one shiny object from another so she loves it. Mission accomplished I guess. He is so happy he runs all the way home. Oh and apparently it’s now been 8 months since the Macross left, which I geuss does make Rick’s promotion slightly more believable. I guess.

Next episode is MISS MACROSS!

#macross #super dimension fortress macross #robotech #khyron #kamujin #quamzin #kamjin #hikaru ichijo #misa hayase #lynn minmay #maximillian jenius #saltwife blogs macross #can't kill humans if you ain't cute #and khyron is c u t e

GSvsAA - Spirit of Justice - Character Profiles

Following the AJ and DD ones, here’s the last of the second trilogy. From here, I’ll be jumping back to AAI and I’ll see how I’ll tackle it later. Perhaps it’ll be easier if I go in order of the files and work out the in-game sequence afterward. We’ll see.

Master post. I’ll update it later when I have time.

Since there’s already a thread for these names on Court-Records, I’ll be brief with the entries this time, unless I find some extra trivia to add. And while it’s atypical of me, I’ll share my speculation on the origin of some less obvious puns for the English names too.

Spoilers ahead.

Main cast

Rayfa Padma Khura’in (レイファ・パドマ・クライン) rei is “spirit”; while the reibana (霊花) is an alternate name for the higanbana (彼岸花), aka the Lycoris Radiata, an ominous red flower that grows in Buddhist Hell and is said to guide spirits into the next reincarnation. It’s frequently seen in funerals. Fyi, the higan refers to the "other side” of the Sanzu River, which is similar to the River Styx. padma means “lotus” in Sanskrit. Khura’in was taken from the Kurain we know, which in turn has been taken from the Klein Bottle. Trivia: Her Song of Ceremony is sung completely in Japanese. By that logic, we could have expected an English dub, but I guess Capcom US wasn’t interested, since they only gave us subtitles instead. A few internal game files have given her name as “Honfa”. I can only guess it’s referring to how she’s the central (hon) character to this game. Also, she’s the kind of girl who would be pretty “serious” (honki) about her roles.

Edit: Added a link to the official source of “Kurain”.

Nahyuta Sahdmadhi (ナユタ・サードマディ) Previously, we thought nayuta was the Sanskrit word, meaning “myriad” (or in some East Asian languages, “10^26 or 27), but as it turned out, it’s just the name of someone Yamazaki knew from his university. It was originally a placeholder name, but Eshiro liked it so much it came to be. His last name is based on the phrase hotoke no kao mo sando made, “Even the Buddha will get angry if you brush his face thrice,” or in other words, “Even the Buddha has limits.” It also may come from the Sanskrit word samadhi, a state of meditative consciousness. Trivia: Throughout the game are scattered references to the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, and he gives us three. Three times he gets to bind a defense attorney, referring to the three disciples of Monk Tang, the novel’s protagonist. Apollo is bound on the head; Sun Wukong is restrained by a magical crown that shrinks when a certain sutra is chanted. Athena's arms are bound; Zhu Bajie has been bound several times throughout the story due to his lewd and disrespectful tendencies. Phoenix’s favorite arm is bound. While there aren’t any particular instances of Sha Wujing’s arm being bound (that I can recall), he’s always been the most responsible of the disciples and is somewhat gullible compared to the other two. :3

Ahlbi Ur’gaid - Bokuto Tsuani (ボクト・ツアーニ) His name comes to “boku to tsua- ni”, or “on a tour with me”.

Shah’do - Mitamaru (ミタマル) mitama is “soul”; maru is a common ending to a boy’s name. He’s a “soul[ja] boy”! I’m sorry, I won’t do that again. His English name, literally “shadow”, may refer to how he’s always tagging along by Ahlbi’s side. Trivia: Shah’do is in fact the only non-human character in the entire series to play the part of the main cast in a game. He even got his own character entry, complete with quote, on the official site! Sadly, I have no idea what he actually says.

Episode 1

Pees’lubn Andistan’dhin - Potdino Nikawas (ポットディーノ・ニカワス) pottode means “coming out of nowhere” and niwaka means “suddenly”, likely referring to how he appeared in the intro out of the blue to join this country’s religious practitioners. din in Arabic means “religion” or “way of life”. Also, DEEN, pronounced with a long e-sound, is the name of a well-known Japanese rock band. Trivia: According to a tweet from Eshiro, this guy’s name is officially “Nikawas”, but for the longest time he and some others mistook it as “Niwakas”, which made it into the final release.

Paht Rohl - Miima Waruhito (ミーマ・ワルヒト) mimawaru is “to patrol”, so his name becomes “patrolling person”. Aslo, waru can mean “bad”, so he’s also not such a good person as he seemed.

Episode 2

Bonny de Famme - Nanano Mimi (菜々野美々) If you flip the kanji in her last name, they make yasai (野菜), meaning “vegetable”. mimi is “ears”. de Famme probably comes from “defame”, given her and her sisters’ machinations behind the scenes.

Betty de Famme - Nanano Kiki (菜々野輝々) Kiki is named like her sister, though kikimimi means “ears poised for listening”. Also, the sound a bat makes is often romanized in Japanese as a ki sound.

Roger Retinz - Shinoyama Kanenari (志乃山金成) It’s custom in Japanese TV production slang to switch syllables of a name or saying around, so we switch his name around. Shinoyama becomes yamashino, and Kanenari becomes narikin (金 can be pronounced kin). Thus, yamashi no narikin means “a swindling nouveau riche”.

Mr. Reus - Mr. Menyo (Mr. メンヨー) menyou (面妖) is “strange” or “suspicious”. I’ve heard speculation from other fans that Reus can be switched around to make “ruse”, as he is a masterful magician. His real name, Manov Mistree, is originally Fushigi Naohito (伏木直人). fushigi na hito means “a mysterious person”.

Episode 3

Tahrust Inmee - Marmer Ahtam (マルメル・アータム) marumeru is “to make bald” and atama is “head”.

Beh’leeb Inmee - Sahra Ahtam (サーラ・アータム) sarasara is onom. for “silky” or “flowing”, in this case referring to her hair.

(Between these two, I can’t quite make out why they would choose these names, since they seem like very generic puns for witnesses in a case. Perhaps that’s the point?)

Puhray Zeh’lot - Ogam Mainiche (オガム・マイニーチェ) ogamu is “to worship”, and mainichi is “every day”, so it’s “pray every day”. His real name is Reehl Neh’mu, and its Japanese counterpart is Fon Myo, from honmyou, “real name”.

A’nohn Ihmus - Nanashiino Gonbe (Tent.) (ナナシーノ・ゴンビェ（仮）) Yes, the “tentative” is part of his name. nanashi no gonbee (名無しの権兵衛) is an anonymous or unidentified name, like “John Doe”.

Datz Are’bal - Datz Dinigel (ダッツ・ディニゲル) His complete name comes from datto de nigeru (脱兎で逃げる), or “fleeing as fast as I can”. Interestingly, his English name gets to keep the same first name, thus making “that’s a rebel” or “that’s horrible” (the latter probably regarding how he first looks on his wanted poster, but I’m not as sure about this one).

Lady Kee’ra - Torihime-sama (鳥姫様) It literally means “Bird Princess”, but it’s not an actual name. I was surprised to learn that she got a name in the English version. Her real name is Ihmsan, which is the same in the JP version. I’m not sure about the whole pun here, but imu is a verb meaning “to avoid, shun”, like a taboo. It’s supposedly taboo to say her name.

Edit: Okay, so it’s actually based on imu, 仏, in this case meaning, “a dead body” and the honorary suffix san. It’s referring to her killing spree. (The same kanji when pronounced hotoke is referring to the Buddha or someone with such imagery, though it applies less to her.)

Plumed Punisher - Torisaman (トリサマン) It’s an offshoot of Tonosaman, aka The Steel Samurai, but with tori for “bird”. Btw, Tonosaman comes from tono-sama, “lord”, and the word “man”.

Episode 4

Bucky Whet - Uchidate Susuru (内舘すする) uchitate is “freshly kneaded”, while susuru is “to slurp”. His English name is from “buckwheat”, the kind of dough commonly used to make soba noodles. Interestingly, the embroidery on his lapel reads 上戸, ueto, but pronounced as jougo, it means “hard drinker”.

Taifu Toneido - Senpuutei Bakufuu (旋風亭獏風) senpuu is “hurricane”; bakufuu is “blast”, like of wind or from an explosion. The tei (亭) is an honorary suffix that’s added to the pseudonym of a rakugo performer.

Geiru Toneido - Senpuutei Puuko (旋風亭風子) I think Puuko was just chosen for its cuteness. The first kanji in her name is the one for “wind”, and ko is a common ending for a girl’s name.

Uendo Toneido - Senpuutei Bifuu (旋風亭美風) bifuu, written as 微風, is “breeze”. His other personalities are named after rakugo characters. Kisegawa is the same in both versions. Her name is from the story Omitate (”The Choice”). Patches is Ippachi, and Owen is Sadakichi. Both appear in various rakugo plays and are well known stock characters; Ippachi as taikomochi (a male geisha) and Sadakichi as an apprentice. Trivia: Patches and Kisegawa speak in nonstandard dialects. I’m not quite sure which, though, so if someone could lend a hand, I’ll be happy.

Jugemu (ジュゲム) He’s named after the titular character of the rakugo play, Jegemu.

Episode 5

Dhurke Sahdmadhi (ドゥルク・サードマディ) It’s probably from Druk, the Bhutanese thunder dragon and their national symbol. There was even lightning behind him when we saw his silhouette in the anime prologue. Not to mention, Druk is also the “king” and “protector” of Bhutan; kinda like how this guy was nominal king of his country too.

Paul Atison - Kiyoki Masaharu (清木政治) kiyoki means “proper” or “clean”; the kanji in his given name, when read as seiji, mean “politics”. It’s also this alternate pronunciation that makes it into his email. For comparison, in English, his full name is “Paul Atison Wimperson”, thus making his initials in his email “PAW”. (Coincidentally, he is kind of a “dog”, and not the kind I love. >:3c )

Archie Buff - Sanagi Fumiaki (佐奈樹文明) sanagi is “pupa”; and the kanji in his first name, read as bunmei, mean “civilization”.

Sergeant Buff - Sergeant Sanagi (佐奈樹軍曹) aka Armie Buff - Sanagi Philnelia (佐奈樹ヒルネリア) Her name is probably from hirune, for “afternoon nap”. She’s a shut-in and is seen wearing her pajamas even well into the afternoon. (The colors are actually based on the Japanese air self-defense force uniform, but they look like pajamas.)

Ga’ran Sigatar Khura’in (ガラン・シガタール・クライン) garan is a Buddhist temple; namely, the “seven halls” that make up temple grounds. Her middle name may come from shi, kataru (死、語る), meaning “death speaks”.

Inga Karkhuul Khura’in (インガ・カルクール・クライン) inga means “karma” or “cause and effect”; karakuru is “to manipulate”. The rest of his name falls into the joke with Jugemu (wiki page linked above in Jugemu’s entry). (If someone could also help me break down his incredibly long full name in Japanese, that’d be great. I’m hoping it has a little more substance than “How could this name be any longer and more pompous than it already is”.)

Nayna - Baaya (バアヤ) Her name isn’t so much a name as it’s Rayfa calling her “granny”.

Amara Sigatar Khura’in (アマラ・シガタール・クライン) amala (阿摩羅) is a number, 10^23, and also a Buddhist term: Amalavijñāna, the highest level of “consciousness”. amara also means “immortal” in Sanskrit, having survived two assassination attempts. In her case, her middle name also refers to shi wo kataru (死を騙る), “faking a death”.

Jove Justice - Odoroki Sousuke (王泥喜奏介) It’s almost the same as Apollo’s name, but the hou replaced by sou (奏), for “play music”. So, “Surprise! Here’s a music boy!” I mean, I couldn’t exactly use “play boy” since that sounds wrong...

DLC Episode

Ellen Wyatt - Outsubu Shizuku (大津部雫) outsubu means “a large amount”, particularly of something small; shizuku is “a drop”. So, yeah, lots of tears.

Sorin Sprocket - Haguruma Raito (八久留間来人) haguruma is a “gear”. Raito sounds like “light” as well as “Wright”, as in the Wright Brothers. (It has nothing to do with Nick or Trucy. Nick is forever earth-bound anyway.)

Pierce Nichody - Juumonji Kazuharu (十文字一治) The kanji in his surname make up “character for ten”, which is 十, a cross. It’s likely referring to health organizations like the Red Cross. The kanji of his first name are “one” and “heal”, respectively; referring to his hard choice while he was still a surgeon.

Dumas Gloomsbury - Yonekura Seiji (米倉静次) nekura is “gloomy”, “dark”. Perhaps his first name is from seijou (清浄), meaning “clean”; as in, he was innocent of the crash incident.

Edit: Okay, so Ash has told me that I made a wrong guess. The only other idea I can surmise is seji (世事), “ways of the world”, so that it works as nekura na seji to make “a gloomy world”.

Edit 2: And another wrong guess. Okay, I’m out of ideas. As I mentioned above, seiji as 政治 is “politics”, but the only connection I can make with him is how the Sprockets are indirectly tied into it and how he’s been made a scapegoat.

Selena Sprocket - Haguruma Hikari (八久留間ひかり) hikari is “light”, to match her brother’s name.

Extra: Locations

Tehm’pul Temple - Ji-in Temple (ジーイン寺院) ji’in is “temple”, so the name is a repeat of the same word. Hence the English name.

Penrose Theater - Trompe Theater (トロンプ劇場) It’s from the French “trompe-l'œil“, the art technique that creates 3D optical illusions from realistic 2D images. Penrose is likely from the impossible triangle, popularized by mathematician Roger Penrose.

Take-2 TV - Nidomi TV (ニドミテレビ) nidomi (二度見) is to “look twice” or “double take”, as in surprise. How convenient that in English, “take” has another appropriate definition.

Kurukurutei (来来亭) It means “Come Come Place” (the tei actually means “pavilion” in other contexts). Incidentally, that tei is also a suffix to denote a place as a restaurant. Trivia: Ash@C-R has noted that there’s a ramen restaurant chain in Japan with the same name but different pronunciation, but it’s probably a coincidence.

Alright, with that, I clean my hands for tackling AAI in the coming several days, but I expect delays over this weekend. I’ll be heading out of town for a day.

tokyo mew mew :3c

I didn’t realize I still had this many feelings about this magical girl series I read in middle school so I put it all under a cut.

the character i least understand: I guess Zakuro?? I just want to know why she was so vehemently against joining the groupinitially (and just generally why she appears so aloof). I can make general guesses chalking up to “she’s introverted af and such a social career like modeling is really draining on her,” but maybe there was more to it than that? Like maybe a bf/gf/bff broke her heart so she switched into “I don’t need friends, they disappoint me” mode as a coping method? I would have loved a backstory about that.

interactions i enjoyed the most: I usually got all warm and fuzzy whenever the girls got to just hang out together and be kids (the slumber party in volume 2 is the first example of this that comes to mind). Or like those scenes whenever Ichigo was in trouble and all the other girls would appear almost out of nowhere to help her (like the scene right after the slumber party when they save her from Kish).

the character who scares me the most: Deep Blue and Kish are tied. Blue for obvious reasons, and Kish just because……………………..fam.

the character who is mostly like me: I think I’m somewhere between Lettuce and Pudding, depending on the day and whichever Big Mood™ I’m on.

hottest looks character: I was never really attracted to any of them, even when I was a kid. I remember thinking Zakuro and Mint were both really pretty though.

one thing i dislike about my fave character(s): It wasn’t really a problem when I was a kid, and I’m sure the English translators are more to blame than Ikumi or Yoshida themselves, but some of Ichigo’s tween slang..........hasn’t aged well in the last 10-15 years.

one thing i like about my hated character: To give him some credit, Kish is very determined on getting his home planet back for his race (even if that means he’s gotta kill literally every human being on the planet to make that happen). Then again, I could attribute that to Pie and Tart as well. I could say something about his love for Ichigo or whatever, but the way he handled it was very unhealthy and………FAM.

a quote or scene that haunts me: Any of those scenes where Kish took his flirting with Ichigo way too far (i.e., the aforementioned post-slumber party scene, as well as a particular fight from a later book where he nearly kills her while she’s un-Mew’d). I wasn’t here for that in middle school and I ain’t here for that now.

a death that left me indifferent: The bit in the last book where she gives Masaya her “life force” to revive him and everyone’s crying bc they think she’s dead. Because I knew she wasn’t (too savvy).

a character i wish died but didn’t: I don’t know??? Maybe Kish?? Like it wouldn’t have made me forgive him per se for the things he did to Ichigo, but if he like, actually died protecting her or took a fall for her bf, I’d get some semblance of “Oh, so like he actually kind of loves her now and it’s not just weird Tween Lust™ that makes my stomach turn.” Like, I appreciated the part before he leaves where he’s just like “OK that’s the guy you like, I’m cool, heading towards the spaceship, later fam,” but like……..I don’t know. I know it’s been a long time since the last time I read the series, but from what I remember, this scene juxtaposed to all the things he did to her, I just wasn’t satisfied.

my ship that never sailed: When I got older and was able to put the pieces together, I figured out that Mint Aizawa is actually In Lesbians™ with Zakuro and I’m kind of mad that they never became a thing.
