Summary // Tali gives Jaehyun his nickname, and 127 find out Tali can speak spanish.
Characters // Talia Flores + Jung Jaehyun (ft. 127 Members and Miguel)
Era / Year // January 2017
Word Count //
Note // So the "...." when Tali is on the phone is when she pauses to hear her brother for any confusion.ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Italics // Spanish.
Tali just finished a fan signing, it went surprisingly well, some skips which she didn't really care it was expected, and luckily no sasaengs. She was at the back just resting, while on her phone.
Then she felt pressure on her lap, she looked down and saw Jaehyun laying his head on her lap look at her.
"Do you need something sir?" Tali raised her eyebrow at him. Jaehyun chuckled.
"No you just seem comfy."
"Ah okay." She shook her head playfully. She started playing with his hair since the fan sign was over and there was no need to fix make up or hair. In that process Jaehyun fell asleep. She look at him and shook her head at him again.
Then she got lost in thought. She was thinking about giving Jaehyun a nickname. Since she doesn't really call her members oppa. For example, she calls Taeyong, yongie. She looked down at him thinking of a name to call Jaehyun since she thinks there would be a better name that would suite him. She went through nicknames in english, Japanese, etc. Then she her second or third language spanish. There were cute names and also funny ones and she was just trying to figure out what suites him best.
"Take a picture it will last longer." Jaehyun said with a smirk. Tali went back to reality and scoff.
"Really omg, flirt much?"
"Only for you." He winked. Tali closed her eyes trying to compose herself.
"What am I going to do with you?"
"Give me attention." Tali scoffed
"Sir, I was just trying to figure out a cute nickname for you, but apparently you wanting attention comes first." Tali said sassily. Jaehyun raised his eyebrows.
"Oh what nickname you thinkin of?" He said cheekily. Tali stopped in thought she was thinking of the two nicknames she was thinking of but chose the second one, and saved the other one for another person.
She looked at him cheekily.
"Well, I had two in mind, but I gonna go with Bon Bon."
Jaehyun was surprised at the nickname since he doesn't know what it means.
"What language is Bon Bon?"
"Its spanish."
"...wait you know spanish?" Tali mentally face palmed.
"Yes I do know spanish, now from now on Im gonna call you Bon Bon."
"What does Bon Bon mean?"
"Well, thats for me to know and for you to figure out." Tali smiled taking Jaehyun's head off her lap and running to Taeil. Jaehyun just got up and went after her.
"TALI COME BACK HERE I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT MEANS."
"NEVER"
She went behind Taeil and Winwin for protection.
"Whats happening?" Doyoung asked wondering why the two are yelling and Tali is hiding behind Taeil.
"She gave me a nickname thats in Spanish and she won't tell me what it means." Jaehyun pouted.
They looked at her in surprised.
"You know spanish?" Mark asked. Tali just looked at them all like are you kidding me.
"Yeah...its like my third or second language...why?"
"I- its just we never knew."
"You keep surprising us everyday." Johnny said wrapping his arm around her while messing up her hair.
"I still wanna know what Bon Bon mean-."
Tali's phone started ringing. She looked at it, it was her one and only twin brother. She thought out of all times.
"Wait, sorry I gotta take this." Before they could ask who it is she answer.
"Hey, yeah can we talk in spanish?....no it because the members are here and I'm worried on what you called me for since you never call me......oh the address?....I dont kn-... oh you want me to write it down." Tali looked up at the boys, seeing them amazed at her, she made a had gesture to get a pen and paper. Doyoung did and gave it to her.
"Okay, I'm ready give it too me....uh huh....uh huh okay, why are you giving me this address?....you're moving here?.... thats great...wait...you want me to help you don't you....your pain you know...yeah yeah bye see you when?.....Feburary? Wow in time for our birthday....aww your future wife...okay okay ill stop... you're modeling right?....yeah....you want me to what.....sure...fine just let me ask my manager...yeah see you bye." Tali ended the call she looked at the address and looked it up immediately. It look pretty cool. She then went straight to her manager.
"Hey you know Eric the Model, he kinda well known."
"Yeah I've seen him here and there."
"Well, he is mh brother and want me to do a photoshoot with him cause he thinks as twins will fit the concept he is modeling for."
Manager looked at her surprised, but he looked at the two side by side the do look alike...look I know they don't but just go with it.
"I didn't know he was your brother, sibling visuals, not surprising, sure yeah let me just add it to your schedule."
"Yeah okay thanks." She said.
She went back to her members.When she looked up to see her members shooketh.
"How are you so fluent."
"Its like my third or second language Mark,....I learned it from my mom."
"Wow when do we get to see your mom." Tali stopped at Haechans question.
"Probably not in a long time...she travels...a lot."
"Oh okay...so who was that on the phone?" Doyoung asked eyeing the peice of paper in her hand.
"Family, they just wanted my opinion on something."
"Ah okay." Them not completely buying it but do think its family.
"Lets go people at shower for practice." Their manger said. They started packing and once the got in the van Jaehyun sat next to her and her knowing whats coming.
"So princess you gonna tell me what Bon Bon means now?"
"Hm...sorry but I think Bon Bon is gonna have to wait." She said while squishing his cheeks.
Jaehyun layed back in defeat definitely going to bother her again about it though.

READ ME
ZERO TOLERANCE FOR RACIST CHASERS/GAY-FOR-STRAIGHT-CONSUMPTION/OOC TRANSPHOBIA/ANY RACISM WHATSOEVER UNLESS SHOWN AS BAD BY NARRATIVE AND CONFINED TO AGREED UPON PLOTTING
I set Savers in its airing year, so Masaru was born in '92. Can take place anytime after episode 49. However, there just won't be any explicit sexual content regardless of when the thread takes place. I also don't auto-ship: I'm here to walk a character through things, so ships will all be more slow-burn. Also, while Masaru's just pan, I'm actually asexual, so don't even expect me to present beyond a textbook understanding of sexual attraction
Masaru's kind of a jerk. My other two muses are generally at least kind unless the other person isn't, but Masaru's kind of abrasive and gleefully violent. If we're playing, I'll probably warn you beforehand, but Masaru may snap at your muse if your muse isn't a little kid. If your muse didn't deserve it, he'll probably apologise at some point, but yeah, this muse is even less like me than 02's Ken (Bleach's Ichigo is my muse most like me)
I'm on mobile. Period. I can't cut threads. I usually just tag "long post." Can't cut threads.
Seen JP ver only. Haven't seen any others, and I have no reason to bother--the original's in my native. Why would I bother with "orange juice bomb"?
Masaru is mixed race here. In a planned project that's a sister project to my Bleach project I already got a bit of stuff up for, Masaru's mum is Japanese and Russian, and related to Junpei of Frontier, and Masaru's dad was Japanese and Afghani. Masaru actually does speak Japanese, Russian, and Persian.
Masaru's also trans here. He never got puberty blockers, but he finally got testosterone at 13. So his voice changed at a pretty normal age. But he does need a binder and all that. (He loved that black tank top he wears after the memory wipe because it was just the right cut to cover the binder while showing off his arm muscles!) He does someday want kids, and Japanese law, like most US states or most places, requires sterilisation to recognise gender change. His papers also say a different first name. Of course, this probably came up with Satuma. Satuma and payroll at DATS probably know all about it. But being trans isn't *as* hard in Japan as the Anglophonic world. Especially thanks to Kamikawa Aya advocating on outlets like NHK radio since '95, which Masaru would be three then.
I toss the epilogue. Don't like the losing their digimon, and Masaru ditching his family he feels so responsible for and his dad he just got back?
Actually, in my project, ep 48 never happens. Suguru is dead, DATS remains, and Sayuri gets BanchouLeomon as her digimon partner.
Oh, another rule--poor spelling and grammar is acceptable if you are not a native speaker. It infuriates me to no end that I'm supposed to be an idiot for being fluent in three just because English is not my first, but native speakers get to run around spelling "bins" "ben's" and congratulating themselves for "kohnichuwa" but I get beaten/decried for actually knowing the language... And also, ,ZERO TOLERANCE for "garnish my human default English with exotic Japanese uwu" See "zero tolerance for chasers and racism"
Totally available to play in Japanese or Spanish, but you must be fluent.
Masaru lives in Tobechou, Yokohama. I went to the Chinatown in Yokohama once with my dad, but I lived in Koube. And we didn't leave Hanshin region all that much. My knowledge of much outside there being a Chinatown in the '80s (obviously still there, as it was the setting for the Savers movie) and big landmarks like Minatomirai is minimal. I also haven't been back to Japan period since '94. My relatives there are all deceased since the '90s, and flights alone are 1,000$, which, until recently, was definitely over a month of rent. Two for a studio, one plus a couple hundred for a 1 or 2LDK, depending. Might even have had 1.5 baths. By the time Savers was airing in Japan, I was able to keep up with Japanese news via now-gone Japanese-language broadcasts in California, as well as the Web, which is also how I saw Savers. But my knowledge of Japanese things may run the risk of being almost 30 years out of date. Or it might be completely current because I still read Asahi News, the most left-leaning paper I can find. Unsure if related to Hanshin region channel 6, but channel 6 was the best when I was there.
The Daimon family didn't move when Masaru came out, but he came out pretty young. It's just difficult to get trans care for minors. That being said, most peers don't know he's trans. They do know he's mixed, though. That being said, it's not like it's *only* him fighting racist bullies. It's only partially that. Like I said, I fully acknowledge he's pretty abrasive. So he's not completely blameless for all the fights. He could easily someday be the kind of parent who gets arrested for punching a rival dad. Violence is not a last resort for him. It's the best resort.
I do multi-para and don't use icons. But I'm not asking for an exact word count match. All I ask is give me stuff to go off of in replies and for Heaven's sake, do *not* format like House of Leaves when you play with me. Format button abuse looks like a visual panic attack, and is just too chaotic for me to read.
I may go spotty on replies with you. I'll still chat with you via the messenger thingy, and I don't play with people I've never spoken to, even if I've started the interaction, because I need to filter for my sanity, so I need to know the people I play with aren't gonna pull racism or something on me, but when my replies slow, it's because I work on-call at a shelter for seriously physically ill people, I'm also disabled myself, and I don't have the ability to put enough energy for the high-quality replies I strive to give in at the moment. I'm stalling because I want to give you my best. If I want to drop a thread, which is admittedly rare, I'll let you know. I won't leave you guessing.
Some h/cs just for fun
Masaru loves metal. The metal I know is 70s prog and 80s glam metal and stuff. I don't really like much music past about '94, and exactly two albums after 2000 (neither are metal)
Masaru has always had the same kind of attention span I have now even though I completely didn't when I was younger. He's running commentary if you watch an movie with him, his biggest problem with school is the whole sitting and passively listening to a lecture part, he thinks he doesn't like reading because others always talk about sitting there and reading for hours on end (if he's older, he may have realised it's OK to read for 20-minute bursts, something I eventually realised, too). He only really learns by doing. That being said, depending on age, he may not have had the chance to *realise* that yet.
He wouldn't become a sumo wrestler, but he totally watches it. Honestly, any fighting sport, and he's there.
He's very Japanese as far as religion. Sort of takes part and believes in a lot of them at the same time, but none are a overly influential part of his life. This is a thing.
Crossovers with any season preceding Savers are pretty easy with this blog considering my project. The project will eventually merge with the Bleach project, toi, so I also have a thing for that. Overall, I welcome crossovers with most animated media. Live action, I'll consider if you don't use icons with me (it ends up looking like Who Framed Roger Rabbit in my head) I don't do any real person stuff beyond, say, having Masaru listen to real bands or know of other public figures.
There is also a flexibility in playing Masaru in other countries. He could visit family in Russia or Afghanistan, he can be sent over from DATS to help with digimon appearances in countries allied with Japan (coughcontroloverjapanliketheuscough) or I totally ship him with Touma, so he could be in whatever that country is (obviously a Germanic nation in Western Europe)
He's definitely leftist, but his tactics aren't really common among the left. Typically, it's the fascists that will throw the first punch. Except Masaru will, as well. Unfortunately, this means he can take *away* from, say, antifa efforts to counter demo anti-Korean rioters.
He looks down on most weapon use, but probably none more so than guns and other weapons that remove the user from the target. To him, anyone who hides safely behind a weapon and makes the fight so one-sided is a coward. To this extent, he thinks war should be done away with and the leaders of the countries should duel instead of America just wiping out thousands of Japanese (WWII) or Afghani (during his lifetime) civilians (well, in that war, it was definitely not the Afghani government's fault, as that was a radical rebel sect powered initially by Regean, but it was most certainly civilian deaths en masse)
Masaru cannot meditate at all. He's also very reactive. To that extent, he's never really done well with martial arts. There's a lot less focus on self-discipline in boxing and wrestling than in Aikido or karate or what have you. He'd probably love the intensity of Krav Maga or CQC. I just don't know if Krav Maga has a self-discipline component. CQC almost certainly doesn't--it's American.
More when I think of it.

Too Much | Park Jimin

warnings: mental illness (specifically bpd - borderline personality disorder), mature scenes, vulgar language and mentions of suicide and depression.
word count: 1.8k
TROISIÉME
past.
SOLACE is immediately engrossed in the booming notability of Busan. Hoseok greeted her at the airport; after a long four months of convincing his dad to hire her as an intern and getting all her international information prepared and ready to go, she was finally ready for an actual departure. And it honestly was a smooth one. Her stepmother didn't really dwell too much on it, and for that she was thankful (she even agreed to send her hair products to Korea — surprisingly).
She'd miss her late father, though, so she visited his tombstone before she left with a tearful goodbye. But besides that, this was like a weight removed from her shoulders. As soon as she exited the plane, she just felt carefree; like this is what life had in store for her in the first place. Being successful doing what she loved, without the overbearing baggage corrupted companies had to throw on her. It was breathtaking.
And Hoseok was such a huge help. She knew it might've took even longer for her to get here, but Hoseok helped speed up the process for her. She was forever grateful to him for that, especially since he really didn't need to. He was just undeservingly kind to her, and she wouldn't let his kindness go forgotten. They had gotten many chances to get to know each other further over these past four months too; Hoseok wouldn't allow himself to not have further knowledge on the girl he was helping. And he enjoyed their friendship they had so far, as did she.
Solace wiped the sleep from her eyes as she reached to get her bags from baggage claim, quickly moving to the entrance to wait for Hoseok. She people-watched for a few moments waiting his arrival, there were just so many people around her to look at, and they damn sure were looking at her.
They all varied, of course — some only sacrificed a small glance and continued on their merry way, and others completely stopped and stared as if seeing someone like her was the most strange thing. And Solace decided she had one of two options to choose from when that occurred: shyly look away and continue minding her business, or look right back. Granted, she usually chose the latter. But after a few minutes of waiting and having people peer curiously at her, Hoseok arrives, as he promised.
He exited his nicely sized luxury car gracefully, removing his black sunglasses and placing a bright smile on his face to greet solace, with her mirroring his expression. She was surprised, when she saw him; she somehow expected a designated driver of some sort to greet her instead, but she was grateful for the warm welcome by Hoseok himself.
She walked up to meet him, waving and dragging her luggage behind her simultaneously. "Hi!"
She bowed her head slightly, when she was close enough, but he hugged her unexpectedly, eschewing any type of etiquette she thought she was fluent in, causing her eyes to grow wide.
"Solace, hi! Was the flight okay? Did you sleep? You probably slept. You're still tired though, aren't you? I know I was. Here, take this." He places a black face mask into her hands, watching as she presses it over her face.
"Oh, let me get those." He reached down to grab her things from her hands before she had a moment to blink. When he came back up, he smiled again, "Come on. you can tell me everything in the car."
The door was already open for her, so she slid in the passenger seat, still recovering from the rush of questions she was bombarded with moments prior. Her seatbelt is slid over her body as Hoseok hops in the car, smiling again. She did so sheepishly, trying to recall all the questions asked, and answered as she remembered.
"Um, the flight was fine, I slept of course and yes, I am still tired — is it that obvious?" The words she spoke felt odd on her tongue but she was sure they would end up feeling familiar soon enough; she knew she'd be here for a while, so she'd better get used to it.
"A little. But it's okay, jet lag is an asshole," Hoseok responded, putting his car in reverse and skillfully sliding out into the main streets away from the airport.
And it was then Solace got to really take in his being. Because there he was: sitting casually in a pressed light olive short sleeved shirt and beige khaki shorts, glasses pushed up his forehead. His hair was neatly cut with a nice undercut and his cologne was placed perfectly on his body; as it was noticeable, but not overbearing. He looked so much more different than the nervous foreigner she first met in Los Angeles. She talked to him via facetime and phone call often, but it was nothing like seeing him in person. She realized that she missed him. He was one of her only friends.
"But I'm so glad you're here! You seemed really eager to leave from L.A and sort of venture out, so I'm really happy you get to finally do what you want, you know?"
He looked at her before looking back at the busy road, "It took a minute for my dad to come around, but he knew he needed the employment. This new aquarium is getting busy quickly, and he needs to tie it down before things get out of hand, but they never do, so don't worry." Solace nods.
"I know, Hobi, I'm excited too. Nervous as well, I won't lie. It's just so . . . new. I've never even really been out of the states, so I already know the culture shock is gonna be . . . shocking." She didn't feel like racking her brain for a better word and cringed at her laziness. "I still need to work on writing Hangul too, it's been a while."
Hoseok scratched his chin while his arm rested near the window, nodding.
"Yeah, most likely. You still sound pretty fluent though, so that's good. But since we're on the topic, I'll give you some tips since you'll be here for a while: sleep as soon as you get home. Don't even worry about unpacking, just rest. You'll value sleep more than basically anything else, other than eating. Jet lag and getting used to Korean time isn't easy, so I suggest you tackle that first. Then I suggest looking for a second job while you intern for my dad as well.” Hoseok said sheepishly. Solace looked at him questionably.
“..He has a pretty long program before he deems someone trustworthy. Especially for the position you're aiming for," Hoseok finally bites out.
What she came there for was to be what she was in the states: one of the veterinarians in the aquarium, specifically monitoring the smaller types of sea life. She'd have to attempt to go for the veterinary technician here though, since the company already had an array of veterinarians, but a technician was almost always available. Help was always needed. There was always room for more veterinarians though, so if she did her best working here, there was the chance of being promoted. And she was sure she'd do her very best.
"I said rest, but you also need food. Don't forget that." He laughed some, making a turn, "please don't. You'll feel really bad and unmotivated, which is never good."
She nodded at his words and was appreciative of him even caring. She really wasn't used to the over abundance of kindness she was receiving.
"I will Hobi. I promise."
They spent the remainder of the car ride to her new home talking about experiences they both encountered in the months they were away from each other, with small moments of comforting silence as Solace got the chance to peer at the life surrounding her outside his windows. There was just something about this city that made it already feel like home. But whether it was her esteemed zeal, or child-like thirst for adventure, she didn't know.
"Oh, you'll be meeting the landlord I mentioned today too. He'll show you around your apartment while I'm gone. he's really nice, around our age. I've known him for about 7 or so years, and I trust him. His name is Park Jimin. You'll be fine there, I promise. And the beach near the property is beautiful," Hoseok exaggerates.
Solace snapped back from her people watching to answer him, "Yeah, of course. I really hope he's as nice as you say too, unnecessarily rude people kind of make me anxious."
She cringes, because how childish and sensitive could she be, "but I'm sure I'll be fine."
She kept her gaze on her window to avoid his face, expecting an ignoble expression at her admitted sensitivity and diminutive unprofessionalism. She wrung her hands together in disclosed embarrassment, sighing as she rolled down her window some, feeling the cool air wisp past her cheeks. Her hair had grown some in these months that passed, deep conditioning was everyone's friend. The curls that were just above her shoulders now sat comfortably near her collarbone.
It was midday now; with spring in full swing. The air was cool and inviting, the sky was full of clouds and bright blue. The sun felt warm and joyful, and people seemed happier. Spring was solace's favorite, as the season never ceased to amaze her. It even lifted her own spirits, she could never be surrounded by the wonders of spring and not stretch her cheeks into a smile.
And to her amazement, Hoseok responded casually. "Don't worry, Solace. Jimin wouldn't hurt a fly. You're in good hands, I wouldn't have asked him if you weren't."
She just decided to let his words put her at ease as she contemplated on what more was to come. It was scary; but so enlightening. She was excited for the possibilities she could earn but also terrified at the reactions she might get from others, including Jimin and Hoseok's father. It made her almost want to turn away, a foreign veterinarian in Korea? It was such an unusual taboo, and she'd have to train herself to fight it. She could be whatever she wanted, however she wanted. Right?
Busan seemed like it had much to throw her way. . . and she only hoped she was ready for it.
#spoiler alert: she was not ready for it.#hehe i hoped u enjoyed this one#jimin angst#jimin fic#jimin#jimin ambw#hoseok fic#hoseok#hoseok ambw#bts#bts fic#bts ambw#kpop fanfiction#kpop poc

Today’s weirdass yokai watch fact I have learned: Agent X is Injun Joe. He’s just.. Injun Joe. His japanese name is goddamn Injun Joe.
“Hey what’s an american thing? Men In Black and uhhhh RACISM”
His entire design is just fuckin Injun Joe, the version from a very particular tv show in japan, just fuckin recoloured purple. I never would have even known!!
So uhh yeah, good on you dub team for removing all that loaded roulette of a thing, holy fuckin shit...
I feel kinda bad for the japanese developers though because there’s no indication they really uhh.. KNEW anything about the whole native american situation at all. Apparantly the tales of tom sawyer was one of a few classic american books that got a kids show in japan, so the thought process behind this was probably just “this was my first childhood impression of what america is like, i should give it an affectionate reference”.
Which is uh.. its the same reason we have Jynx. Seriously! “Little Black Sambo” was another “classic western franchise” that japanese kids read in the 50s and 60s. Taking it completely out of context like that, the racist stereotype design of the earliest illustrations became seen as an iconic cartoon character and the japanese audience had no idea of its origins in anything negative.
This is why i really hate that whole “its a classic, so you’re not allowed to complain about the racism”. like there’s a big ol fat difference between simply understanding that the racism is a product of its time, vs YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO BE SAD ABOUT IT. Teaching friggin “classics” in this atmosphere of out of context dancing-around-the-elephant-in-the-room is how we get situations like this where people who don’t already know the context can just pick up the racism accidentally. Also seriously if we even had the slightest fuckin warning or even ACTUALLY TAUGHT KIDS that the racism is bad and its only here because this is an old book, then maybe itd be less goddamn traumatizing for the actual non white kids in the damn class...
I can still remember how my high school did this with of Mice Of Men, regarding ableism. Like it was friggin HIGH SCHOOL, there’s less of an excuse of ‘oh we cant explain, its too complicated for kids’! (Which is dumb anyway cos kids not already knowing about racism is like THE BIGGEST REASON you should tell them the thing is wrong/take the thing out when you talk about the book, otherwise it just goes into their brain unquestioned) Anyway, if you didnt already know, Of Mice And Men is a story all about a Scary Developmentally Disabled Man who is Just Like A Big Adult Child and is Big Scary Murderer and Too Dangerous To Live and The Only Way For Him To Be Happy Is To Die and Everyone He Ever Loved Is Finally Free Of The Burden of Him And He Would Be Happy That They Can Finally Be Happy. Yeah. Its fucked up and I hate it and I hate that it was just taught unchallenged and unquestioned. I didnt know I was autistic until i was an adult and this sort of message was the only perspective i was ever being given on what mental disabilities were, which probably contributed a whole lot to why i never got diagnosed and why i was goddamn terrified when i did finally find out. I’m so fuckin glad that being autistic is just.. like.. exactly the same as how I fuckin think, instead of this ridiculous gross fatalistic stereotype. And I hate looking back on how i blindly believed it and how i was rude to other autistic kids cos i fuckin DIDNT KNOW I WAS ONE OF THEM and thought it was a goddamn death sentence i had to avoid by being Aggressively Neurotypical At All Times.
But yeah this was indeed a book made in an older time where autism hadnt even been properly investigated by medical science and didnt even have a name. And by the standards of the time it’s comparatively progressive, because the story does indeed say this mentally ill man isnt actually evil, he’s just ACCIDENTALLY dangerous, and you’re supposed to feel sad that he has to die. But that doesn’t mean its goddamn true, it doesnt mean it should be taught as true, and it doesnt mean its not harmful to real people with real disabilities who are very likely sitting right there in this classroom listening to this tripe. I’m not saying don’t read any “classics” in class, just itd be nice if the teacher remotely aknowledged the problematic shit instead of reading it out as-is and not discussing a single thing. Like seriously it could flesh out the curriculum quite a bit if you added some essays like “explain why this thing is bigoted and the cultural context as to why it happened”. Or even just a goddamn warning at the beginning of the lesson that this chapter is gonna contain emotionally harrowing stuff! And its not even like its JUST “classics” that do this, the book directly after this in that same year of highschool was a modern thing about “oooh the scary inner mind of an autistic”, full of loads of stereotypes and weirdass child abuse apologism cos ~oh the kid was such a burden~ :/
So yeah. That stuff. Its bad.
It can lead to super outdated horrible stereotypes getting reintroduced into the brains of kids who dont know any better, or in this case foreign audiences who arent familiar with the cultural context. So that’s why I don’t blame nintendo for making a random villain named after the really insensitive name of an old not-exactly-well-portrayed villain from a “classic”. Instead I blame the people in the west who act so flippant about racism/other bigotries as long as its “classic”, its our fault that we’re sending this impression out to other countries.
Also its super depressing imagining this dude is meant to be the ghost of a guy with the same backstory as that dude from tom sawyer, aka a half native american mixed race man who only turned evil because he was treated like shit by racist bastards. Seriously it sucks how unsympathetically and scarily ‘ol IJ is portrayed in tom sawyer, but i guess again its a ‘for its time it was ahead of the curve’ sort of thing. Still not good though. The only thing more not gooder than that is if after he died with no sympathy from anyone forever he also came back as a weird purple slime ghost and continued suffering for more centuries :(
:(
:(
Man i usually love learning development trivia about games but this was really one of those facts thats more of a cursed thing :(
Aaaand ending with a random piece of trivia his japanese name is Injaneno which is a goddamn pun on That Damned Name mixed with a stereotypical italian mafia speak version of “dontcha know”. Or, well, the japanese stereotype of what italian mafia speak sounds like in japanese. Apparantly hokkaido accent is their equivelant of the ‘this character is foreign’ accent! Like how texas accents are for america and literally-everywhere-except-england accents are for britain. Its such a dumb trope, isnt it? “How do we know this character isn’t from this country? Cos they speak a very specific local accent of this country.” Its just the dumb stereotype of certain accents being uncultured or stupid or whatever so its a shorthand for ‘not fluent in the language’ even though being not fluent in the language sounds entirely fuckin different.
So yeh. Facts. Some of them kinda cursed. Also even more reasons to cry for goddamn MIB slime man...
oh and also his slime form in japanese is just “Demon Injaneno” instead of “The Executor”. which is an added layer of pun thats just like ‘dontcha know’ with an even more heavy accent. So i’m glad they kept the idea of scary alien blobman doom agent having goofy cute puns, and the whole X obsession is a nice way of punning without all them layers of weirdness.
#agent x#injaneno#weirdass fuckin game of telephone with racism#also i remember they still used to call telephone 'chinese whispers' instead when i was in that school#where did that name even come from honestly? is it just meant to be some rude 'chinese people are bad at english' joke?

Question thingy cos I’m procrastinating going to bed which I will be heavily regretting at 7:30 when I have to get up for class but yolo
Spotify, SoundCloud, or Pandora? I don’t really use any of them tbh, like, I like to have all of my music in iTunes/on my phone - but if I ever stream music it’s actually normally on YouTube.
is your room messy or clean? Right now it’s very messy, I was supposed to clean it days ago but I’m lazy.
what color are your eyes? Blue.
do you like your name? why? I’ve always been indifferent to it - or, really, it’s that depersonalised feel where I tell people my name is Christina and I answer to Christina but when I start to think about it, say it out loud slowly and mindfully, it feels like a foreign object in my mouth. So I try not to do that because that’s uncomfortable as fuck. But anyway, yeah, indifferent, but ever since I learned about Christina Mirabilis and how much she has come to mean to me, it’s better, like, it feels like fate I guess. If such a thing exists, which is another thing I am ambivalent about.
what is your relationship status? extremely single so if anyone wants to take one for the team and date me, that would be swell.
describe your personality in 3 words or less? neurotic, means well.
what color hair do you have? purple
what kind of car do you drive? colour? sadly I do not have a car, but I do have a scooter, it’s silver.
where do you shop? like, as in where do I buy my groceries? Haha lmao but honestly this is so vague. Bitch I’m poor and fat, I shop anywhere where I can find something that doesn’t look completely hideous and that my card won’t get declined trying to buy.
how would you describe your style? see above. Would like to dress way cooler than I do but lack of money, and - more importantly, since thrift shops are a thing when you’re skinny - being fat.
favorite social media account? Tumblr I guess, even though it’s often incredibly frustrating, because Facebook is a shitstain on the fabric of humanity and I don’t have Twitter and rarely use Instagram.
what size bed do you have? double.
any siblings? little sister, she’s 25, lives in Melbourne.
if you can live anywhere in the world where would it be? why? somewhere that is perpetually warm, where I can speak the language well enough to practice as a clinical psychologist, but still in a big city - I’m thinking either Sydney or Queensland, or California. South of France would be fucking lit too, I guess I know enough French that I could become fluent with total immersion. Anyway, I just want to be warm year-round, seasonal depression always kicks my ass, I fucking loathe being cold.
favorite snapchat filter? fuck man I don’t know, I don’t remember the last time I used a snapchat filter.
favorite makeup brand(s) depends on which type of makeup, I have different favourite brands for different products. But, generally, cheap, I guess. Although my two favourite makeup items are an eyeshadow that I got from Topshop, and a Makeup Revolution highlight.
how many times a week do you shower? most days.
favorite tv show? that is a really difficult question, I have so many favourites. Right now it’s Game of Thrones, obviously. But I think Dollhouse is possibly my all-time favourite TV show. And right now I’m watching Vikings, which I’m fucking loving, just finished the second season. Although HONESTLY I don’t give a fuck about Princess Aslaug, when the fuck are Ragnar and Lagertha gonna get back together because Lagertha is my fucking bae.
shoe size? normally 7 or 8 in NZ sizes, or 38EU.
how tall are you? 5′2″ of pure queer fury.
sandals or sneakers? docs.
do you go to the gym? lmao.
describe your dream date? I’ve done this before but basically - luxury version with the girl I’m in love with involves long extended holiday wandering around the Mediterranean and just having lazy days of eating and napping and swimming and having sex and exploring and shopping. Other than that, I just really love to go to an outdoor bar on a warm summer’s afternoon and have sangria or margaritas or wine and antipasto or tapas, and just chill and chat, and maybe have a sneaky cigarette. just, like, yeah. perfect.
how much money do you have in your wallet at the moment? none, I don’t carry cash most of the time.
what color socks are you wearing? grey with black polka dots, with a rabbit on each, they used to have pom poms on them for the rabbit’s tale but they’ve long since disintegrated.
how many pillows do you sleep with? I sleep on one pillow but I have another one on the other side of my bed.
do you have a job? what do you do? I am a supervisor in a bookstore.
how many friends do you have? I don’t know off the top of my head, I’m not inclined to sit here and count them.
whats the worst thing you have ever done? ��taken my pain out on my own body rather than directing my anger at the people who hurt me.
whats your favorite candle scent? I don’t know but Sophie got me this Limoncello-scented one from Bath and Body Works in Vancouver but it’s humungous and heavy as fuck so she couldn’t afford to send it to me but I hope maybe when she eventually comes back she’ll bring it with her because I think that would be my favourite scent.
3 favourite boy names? I don’t know, honestly, I don’t often think about boy names, I guess cos I’m fucking gay as shit so boys never cross my mind in any capacity. But I like Elliott. But I also like that name for a girl so idk,
3 favourite girl names? I have heaps but the first three that spring to mind are Anneke, Rhiannon, and Sinead.
favorite actor? don’t know tbh. Probably Harrison Ford as Han Solo, cos he’s my son.
favorite actress? a hard choice but Emilia Clarke is the one I crush on the hardest so yeah idk.
who is your celebrity crush? who ISN’T? I swear I’m in love with half the women in music and film. Emilia Clarke is a big one, obviously, but also at the moment I’m crushing mega hard on Tash Sultana.
favorite movie? I don’t know, I’ll just say Amélie because that film never fails to cheer me up.
do you read a lot? what’s your favourite book? I do read a lot, and I have no fucking idea.
money or brains? In a partner? Brains, I guess, although that’s very subjective, given Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences - I guess it depends on what you value. I, personally, value emotional intelligence.
do you have a nickname? what is it? Stina.
how many times have you been to the hospital? Uhhh. I don’t know off the top of my head, and I probably can’t count accurately because there are a few admissions that I just straight up don’t remember. At least 10 times, I would say.
top 10 favourite songs? nah, that’s too hard.
do you take any medications daily? yeah, I take sertraline (anti-depressant), prazosin (alpha-blocker - for PTSD), and birth control (for PCOS). I also take magnesium and vitamin D because they’re both fucking lifesaving tbh.
what is your skin type? (oily, dry, etc) I don’t know. All I know is that it never fucking does what I want it to.
what is your biggest fear? The people I love dying, especially my close family.
how many kids do you want? more than one but no more than three.
whats your go to hair style? down. I always wear it down. I have a pretty large side-undercut, so.
what type of house do you live in? (big, small, etc) The house itself is really big, it’s an old villa, but it’s divided into two flats, we’re on the bottom floor. It isn’t huge, we have a tiny lounge, a slightly-larger-than-average kitchen, and average-sized bathroom/laundry - but our rooms are all fucking humungous.
who is your role model? my therapist, my old high school guidance counsellor, my friends.
what was the last compliment you received? Owen said my hair looked good today.
what was the last text you sent? it was a really long Facebook message to the girl I’m currently talking to, we’re going on a date on Thursday, I’m excited.
how old were you when you found out santa wasn’t real? Idk, I figured it out pretty young, I was a bright kid. Maybe five or six?
what is your dream car? I don’t really know. I like 70s muscle cars but honestly at the end of the day any car is a good car. Plus, practically-speaking, I would like something that is kind on the environment, an electric car or a hybrid.
opinion on smoking? I think that it is something people do when they need something to alleviate a distressing situation. It’s no secret that smoking is more prevalent among the poor and the mentally ill, as well as those with high-stress jobs. I am an ex-smoker who relapses one or two times a year, the last time I had a cigarette was early April. I sometimes start smoking again when I am not doing well emotionally or if I’m really stressed (eg during exams). And I don’t like it, it makes me feel tired, it makes my throat phlegmy, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and it makes me stink of smoke, and it is fucking expensive, but it meets a need. So my opinion is that I don’t like smoking, but sometimes it has a hold on me that I can’t resist, and I have the utmost compassion for anyone who smokes.
do you go to college? yeah, I’m in my last year of my undergrad.
what is your dream job? clinical child and youth psychologist.
would you rather live in rural areas or the suburbs? inner-city suburbs - far out enough to still live in a free-standing house with a garden, but close enough that I can walk to the city, or be there after a short bus trip. That’s the situation I live in at the moment and it’s perfect.
do you take shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels? No, because I’m a snob and only like to use my own shampoo and conditioner. But I don’t see anything wrong with it, since you’re paying for them. Taking appliances and dressing gowns and towels, however, is not acceptable in my opinion.
do you have freckles? Not really.
do you smile for pictures? Sometimes but I hate having my photo taken so it always looks strained.
how many pictures do you have on your phone? Not that many at the moment, I just did a big dump of photos onto my laptop, I like to do that from time to time so my iCloud doesn’t run out of space.
have you ever peed in the woods? yeah, and on the side of the road, and once behind Sophie’s house when her flatmate was taking a really fucking long time in the shower and I desperately needed to pee.
do you still watch cartoons? nah, but only cos they’re not my cup of tea, absolutely no hate.
do you prefer chicken nuggets from Wendy’s or McDonalds? I’m a vegetarian.
Favorite dipping sauce? see above.
what do you wear to bed? pyjama pants and an old t-shirt.
have you ever won a spelling bee? no, they’re not a thing in New Zealand, but if they were I would have fucking cleaned up - not to blow my own horn or anything but I am a freakishly good speller. It’s kind of a not terribly useful skill though, and doesn’t say anything about my level of intelligence. Just like my weird propensity for memorising numbers, even if I haven’t used them in 10 or 15 years (like my NCEA student number, and the mobile number for the cellphone I lost when I was 14).
what are your hobbies? netflix, napping, and memeing.
can you draw? nope, not even a little bit.
do you play an instrument? yeah I play the violin, and I can also play piano, and I’m a decent choral singer, and I was once an okay percussionist, and I am a below-average guitarist, and an abysmal flute player. But those last three were self-taught so yeah.
what was the last concert you saw? The Veils BUT I’m going to see Sigur Rós on Friday and I am dying of excitement.
tea or coffee? peppermint tea.
Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts? Dunkin Donuts, but not for the coffee, I just really like donuts. Plus we don’t have Dunkin Donuts in Wellington so it’s a huge novelty for me when I get to have them, I’m almost as excited about getting Dunkin Donuts when I fly into Auckland on Friday as I am about seeing my favourite band live haha.
do you want to get married? Yes.
what is your crush’s first and last initial? I don’t currently have a crush.
are you going to change your last name when you get married? No but I will consider hyphenating if that’s something my wife wants to do.
what color looks best on you? black I guess.
do you miss anyone right now? I kinda miss Soph but these days I’m just starting to, like, I don’t know. Adjust. Which is nice. Realising that the way things worked out is for the best, because otherwise I would have been in for a lot of misery. Even though Sophie is a wonderful person whom I love and care about a huge amount. Apart from that, I miss being close to Nic, because she is like a sister to me, and I wish that we lived near each other so we could support one another.
do you sleep with your door open or closed? Closed.
do you believe in ghosts? No, but I could be convinced to change my mind with enough evidence.
what is your biggest pet peeve? People with bad manners, it is really not that fucking hard to say “please” and “thank you”? I mean, I’m talking in a work context here pretty much, customers can be so fucking rude. And the rude ones are all, without a single exception, baby boomers. So... yeah.
last person you called? Owen.
favorite ice cream flavour? I’m not really an ice cream person but I really like Ben and Jerry’s chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, that’s another thing I’m super looking forward to when I go to Auckland. If it seems like I’m obsessed with food, it’s because I am - but I am especially obsessed with getting all of the bread and sugar I can into myself in the next week because next week I’m starting the keto diet and I’m dying a little inside just thinking about it, I really fucking love sugar and bread.
regular oreos or golden oreos? regular.
chocolate or rainbow sprinkles? rainbow.
what shirt are you wearing? t-shirt with very thin stripes.
what is your phone background? beyoncé in the formation video.
are you outgoing or shy? depends on the context, but mostly shy.
do you like it when people play with your hair? yeah.
do you like your neighbors? I don’t know them but they seem nice in passing.
do you wash your face? at night? in the morning? always.
have you ever been high? yes.
have you ever been drunk? yes.
last thing you ate? cheesecake.
favorite lyrics right now? eh.
summer or winter? SUMMER.
day or night? Idk I like both, it depends.
dark, milk, or white chocolate? milk.
favorite month? January.
what is your zodiac sign? Aries but I don’t believe in that shit.
who was the last person you cried in front of? Either my therapist or Owen and Autumn, I can’t remember. Possibly both, I went through a stage of pretty much constantly crying a couple of weeks back lmao.
