tohma thoughts time!! 🪜🪨

as usual I very much enjoy tkdb’s character naming and I like how tohma’s name (磴 塔真) fits him and tells me more about what he might be like!!

his last name 磴 means step (as in stepping stone, stepstool, steps of a ladder etc). he’s jin’s stepping stone in making sure the place runs smoothly. he plays the perfect role of the vice captain that is solid and sure and there when he’s needed.

the character also can be split into two characters, 石 (stone) and 登 (to climb). he’s not climbing up based on luck or flattery - he’s making his way up step by step through solid skill and genuine hard work. there’s foundation to how he rises up the ranks. it’s also echoed in the last character, 真, can mean to be solid, to be real or to be true.

but the 塔 in his name offers a really nice twist!! when putting his last name and the first half of his name together, 磴塔 means to climb a pagoda. which is !!! because famously, pagodas are hollow and don’t have stairs! I think it offers a great insight into his ambitions and his personality - if there isn’t a way up, he’s going to forge it himself.

it’s also reflected in his 五格 - his 总格, which reflects the way he approaches his professional life, is 40. It basically translates to: he’s someone who carries out his promises and won’t go back on his word, and will earn everyone’s trust that way. he’s straightforward without any pretences. he doesn’t like to use flattery to get what he wants. even though he might not be everyone’s cup of tea at first, he will gain everyone’s approval in the end. he won’t be successful overnight, but he’ll get there step by step.

which reads to me as very tohma! he’s trustworthy and gets where he wants to go by building trust and by working hard. he carries out his duties with jin and despite tohma supposedly transferring in from vagastrom and jin healing from a ?betrayal jin is slowly beginning to trust tohma.

his 人格, which describes his interpersonal relationships and his character, made me laugh: he’s constantly worried about his children (chaos duo, anyone?). he takes an active role in his work, and has high expectations of others. he doesn’t leave out a single detail, and is a very strict manager. he is someone who will keep a tight rein on the household, prepares many back-up plans and enjoys being the one giving directions. which is so !!! because isn’t this just tohma sitting in his vault with his paperwork running the frostheim household and planning balls!! we can also see this side of him during the first frostheim chapter, where he monitors the chaos duo’s mission from afar and has a back-up plan for when things go wrong.

his 人格 also reads that he’s the kind of person who would die for his friends. suffering for his friends is nothing to him, and he doesn’t mind if he gets his knuckles bloody for them. which WOOOOH smells like both vice-captain!tohma AND vagastrom!tohma to me!!

also this is a small thing but this detail in his 总格 made me laugh too: he will constantly squabble with his partner. i’m not saying it sounds like him & a certain captain but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

anyway tkdb character naming and design slaps as always, big fan

OHHH RAE RAE RAE YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN! THE SLASHER AU IS SO INCREDIBLE!!! Perfect read before going to bed lmao. I might send you more detailed thoughts on it once I wake up, but for now i'm just gonna say that I ADORE IT SO SO MUCH!!

- 🪜(i'm the nonnie that almost fell down the stairs and asked about claiming emojis. since i couldn't find a stairs emoji, which would've been fitting, i decided to settle on a ladder)

Thank you, nonnie!! Welcome back, I love the emoji choice fr.

Ah, the slasher au, it was really fun to write! I literally almost posted it with the title Hash-Slinging Slasher because it made me laugh every time I opened the draft. I was worried he'd be too OOC, but I think it turned out okay!

Thank you again!!

Results are IN!

So what's up with my flat?

Well, I made it deliberately hard for you - all of those features were real features that I have really encountered in a terraced house of this type.

A) 🍳🚿50% of you voted for the kitchen shower! We viewed a flat with this glaring flaw two days before viewing our current place and were astonished to discover that we actually had standards

B) 🔥only 2.8% of you voted possibly-working fireplace with chimney. A house I lived in some years ago had this - we never used it (it would've needed a sweep, and who knows where to find a chimney sweep in 2019?) - but we did have to shove a cushion in a plastic bag up there to stop the constant draught.

D) 🚪30.6% of you voted for the secret passage! This was actually in the same house as the fireplace, in which me and my housemate shared a closet. Insert jokes here.

Which means that the correct answer is C - 🪜🕸️ the basement! Well done to the 16.7% of you who got it.

This thing is Not Good.

At the top, there's a pile of junk, including an abandoned pair of boots and some cryptic numbers scrawled on the inner door. The air stinks of mould, and that cardboard box is clearly more mould than box. There's a couple of modern recycling bags at the bottom, as though someone chucked them in without realising it was stairs and then went 'fuck going and retrieving them.'

The business, meanwhile, as 45.5% of you correctly intuited, was a pet shop. So we assume that there are budgie ghosts down there, as well as what my friend intended to say would be a hamster colony but was autocorrected to colonel. So the hamster colonel is there now.

However...

I was going to do a poll about this one but folks I've genuinely run out of ways to misdirect you, so I'm gonna tell you straight up: there is also an attic. This is in some ways not surprising, since we have one of those blank hatches on the landing that can be seen from below, but I expected it to be either sealed, or like most attics: a dark, cobwebby, maybe mouldy mess of bare beams and insulations.

No. It looks, from the little I can see (I am not tall enough to even get my phone properly up there from the only chair we have that can hold my weight), like a full loft conversion that was only abandoned prior to putting in the access. There is a small amount of mould on one wall (dealable with), a double-glazed skylight, and only a very small amount of builder's debris.

Needless to say, we intend to acquire a ladder.

🪜👑 Stairs fit for a King

​AFHF Italy, 19 August 2023

[elitadream]

Haha time to give Italian hcs as an italian

This is based mainly on italians who speak English that i saw, me included. When we can't get a word in English because we don't remember the word or directly don't understand it, we usually say the name of it, either in Italian or directly "coso" (the thing). So i can imagine Mario trying to talk to peach or toads, asking for where something is but dosen't know the name of it. (I'll use ladder as an example, i always mix it with stairs and i forget about it a lot.)

Imagine if Mario was asking if there was a ladder around he could use because he saw a book that interested him, but he was too short to reach right? So he went to a toad to ask about it, but now that he thinks about it, he always thought to himself "mi server una scala." (I need a ladder.), He never thinks in English. Just Italian (or maybe he does, but mixes both languages, he understands anyway.)

So it comes out like this:

"toad- uh- do you have a-..uh thee- come si chiama-(how is it called)- il coso, la scala, quella eh. (The thing, the ladder, that yeah.)"

And toad is respectfully confused, and it tooks Mario so much to realize it's ladder, so when he does he screams it like he found a new land or something.

🏃 *runs*

YO. 👀 I love this so much?? 😄💕

Y-e-s for more Mario not being fluent in English and sprinkling Italian words through his speech!

I love whenever someone does that while speaking a language they don't know perfectly. Like that's so cute to me for some reason, I just find it ridiculously endearing. 🥰 I also headcanon Mario as being very demonstrative in general and gesturing with his hands a lot, so I like to think that he would always try to mime the object or action he's trying to say. 🤭

Thank you for the adorable example! 😁🪜✨️
