Suzuha's fan is truly one of my fav things about her. It makes her so expressive and it's so much fun to utilize that in threads.

【KHR AU】 XanLena ❤️💜🔥🪷
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nguyễn Selena (Nguyễn Nguyệt Vân Liên) 💜🪷
Figured it's been a long time since I posted about my wife, Selena~
Nguyễn Selena is my KHR OC who is a Vietnamese non-binary assassin. Her Vietnamese name is Nguyễn Nguyệt Vân Liên.
Her name, Selena, means "moon" 🌙
Her Vietnamese name, Liên, means "lotus flower" in Sino Viet 🪷
In my KHR AU, she joins the Varia as one of their members and lives at their headquarters with the rest of the core Varia members. My wife has NB flag colours~
My wife and her NB swag~ 💜🖤🤍💛
I mainly ship Selena with Xanxus.
In KHR, Xanxus is the leader of the Varia, an independent assassination squad under the Vongola mafia family. He was initially one of KHR's major antagonists.
Selena 💜🖤🤍💛🌙☁️🪷
English name: Nguyễn Selena (グエン・セリナ)
Vietnamese name: Nguyễn Nguyệt Vân Liên (阮月雲蓮)
Japanese alias name: Gen Suzuha (阮月雲蓮)
I resketched Selena's hair recently 💜
I resketched these quickly so it's not as refined but I'm still experimenting/trying to decide how I want Selena's hair to be drawn, whether I want to keep the curls in the back or not.
I feel like her ponytail is pretty iconic to her design. So if Selena got a TYL (10 Years Later) design, then I'd just add a bun on top of the ponytail.
Didn't redraw everything yet but just updated this for now
I redrew the bow and it has better lines but I prefer how pointy the shape of the OG bow was so I'll just combine the two eventually. I just wanted to get the new Selena down
Though both are nice! I just like how the shapes/silhouette of the hair are clearer now.
The XanLena chibis are pretty old doodles, so I'd like to redraw it sometime, but I still think it's cute ^^
My friend Feuri told me he likes how the softer upturned eyes of the OG Selena has a softer expression, so I'll keep both expressions ^^
I love both eyes in the Selena doodles hehe
Art Rambles
XanLena Doodle WIPs ❤️💜
Some recent + old doodles I drew before. I'm planning to refine them eventually!
Xanxus is wearing áo dài ("Long dress"), a type of Vietnamese traditional clothing
Selena is in her usual outfit I designed for her ^^
I think my art style is improving nicely! The way I draw faces is getting more refined
I'll redraw the hair later. I just sketched this quickly for now. Cuz I was just thinking about how I wanted to draw XanLena together more
I have a XanLena art idea in my head... Just need to get started with actually drawing it
Did a quick colour test today. I'll draw the rest later.
I wanna do a big XanLena piece eventually... And also XanLena in traditional Vietnamese clothing~ Matching couple clothing! 🥰💞
I rambled more about XanLena and Selena below.
You can read more under the cut!
Context
I added context for my mutuals who don’t know much about KHR, but would still like to tune into my KHR AUs and KHR OC stuff. Feel free to read only if you want!
Vongola Family = The KHR protagonist, Tsuna, is currently training to become the 10th generation boss of the Vongola family. Tsuna and co. are the Vongola family’s 10th generation guardians.
Varia = The Vongola family’s elite independent assassination squad. Their leader is Xanxus.

Misc Rambles
Sorry but I don't want to retype all this again so I'm just copy pasting from my Notion doc and side blog. I also included my rambles with friends!
Selena's info sheet and character relationship chart was inspired by FGO Materials' character profile formats where it lists a chara's general info, usage of pronouns, quotes, relationships with other charas, etc.
I still need to revamp the quotes with Selena's relationships with the other Varia members so I just posted Xanxus' part for now
Selena is the type who's calm and gentle but likes to keep to herself regarding matters that don't concern her. She's more aloof when she doesn't know the person well, but eventually opens up to the other Varia members.
I imagine Selena speaks in a really polite and formal way to Xanxus out of respect for him.
Xanxus and Hibari are my no. 1 fave KHR characters (tied) 🥰
Also used Glaze on my art as protections against A/I fart.
Also I'm just thinking of the recent FGO: Summer 7 event with Douman growing cursed morning glories (vampiric shikigami), flowers that suck blood.
I NEED THIS FOR SELENA...
DOUMAN BASED!!!
Selena's man eating plants 🥰💞
Selena is very soft and gentle, but she can be a little unhinged, as a treat!
Selena is a gardener and florist (flower enjoyer and enthusiast)

I finished Steins;Gate 0 VN and I have some thoughts
So, I watched Steins;Gate 0 a few weeks after finishing the original anime and I didn’t like it. The story felt disjointed, many plot points seemed rushed or pointless and I had issues understanding how we got in places we ended up in. It has been a couple of years now, so it seemed fair to give it another chance hoping that the visual novel is better.
Overall, my feelings are complicated because I still have many complaints about the story, characters and endings. But when SG 0 got good, it got really good. I strongly believe the reason behind my problems is the structure of this game. I’ve seen somebody describe it as a Frankenstein’s monster and, yeah, that’s an accurate description.
I'm going to spoil a lot, so you have been warned.
So, SG 0 structure is a bit odd and its graph (taken from the wiki) looks like this
Tumblr media
Here is the order in which I’ve played the game:
Gehenna’s Stigma -> Twin Automata -> Recursive Mother Goose -> Promised Rinascimento -> Vega and Altair -> Milky-way Crossing
I'm going to sprinkle some of my favourite CGs in this post for your enjoyment.
Positive thoughts
I loved Daru in this game. I recalled his relationship with Suzuha being weird and uncomfortable to watch, but it was fairly sweet here. Yeah, there have been some cringy moments, but that was the minority. Also, even outside of that, he was great. His relationship with Yuki? Really sweet. Conspiring with Maho? Great. That moment when he punches Okabe in the face? One of my favourites in the whole game!
Tumblr media
Maho no longer felt like a Kurisu replacement. They allowed her different personality to shine and made the best of it. The majority of her screen time was a pure joy to experience. And what was the best part of all of that? Her friendship with Moeka in Twin Automata. It was just *chef's kiss* so good! So good in fact that I consider not having this friendship blossom in other endings as a huge disadvantage.
Tumblr media
The music was, dare I say it, better than in the original? Yeah, Gate of Steiner and Remember Me are iconic, but Messenger, A Song Played by the Stars and Re-awake are just so good. Also, I enjoyed ambience music a bit more.
In my mind, the main theme of the original Steins;Gate is loneliness. With Steins;Gate 0 introducing AI to the story, I find it fitting that the focus of the story was on the subject of identity and personal worth. A theme that was beautifully shown in Twin Automata (I think you might already know which ending is my favourite).
I can't judge how realistic Okabe's anxiety attacks were, but they felt real to me. Of course, his VA is phenomenal, but the script also deserves a praise here. It was painful to see him struggle with his trauma and easily triggered flashbacks.
While on the topic, the voice acting was great. Granted, with a cast like this that shouldn't be a surprise, but it's still worth to mention it.
I'm not going to elaborate on this point. Just this moment:
Tumblr media
Mayuri is always a beacon of positivist and an absolute joy to watch. We all need a Mayushii in our lives.
The climax of Twin Automata, Gehenna's Stigma and Promised Rinascimento are all great. That moment when Leskinen traps Okabe in GS and Okabe realises, he can't die for the next ~15 years? Chilling.
"Holy cow! So I said we should come soon" - name a more iconic line in VN. I will wait, you won't find any.
Negative thoughts
Kagari. I don't like her, I don't need her, she should go away. She is boring at best and annoying at worst. Her story is silly in Promised Rinascimento and in Vega and Altair it's just bad. How?
She has a plastic surgery to look like Yuki. Ok, how did she manage to make herself to look so accurate to the original, that she fooled Suzuha? Alright, they know about the current whereabouts of the original, so that's how they manage to "copy" her. But in that case, I want to know more about this subplot.
We know that this Kagari and Yuki share a room in the future. That's real awkward, not gonna lie.
How does she survive Vega and Altair since she died before Okabe time leapt? Is it because Suzuha and Mayuri made a successful jump to the past? But if that's so, shouldn't the worldline change and therefore Okabe notice it? Actually, why doesn't he notice when the worldline changes due to Suzuha and Mayuri making a decision? I don't think this type of shifting was properly introduced before.
If we have this Kagari in the future, what happens with the child Kagari? If Mayuri goes back to 2025 and still chooses to adopt her, wouldn't that cause massive issues? Yes, that shouldn't happen because shift will occur before, but it does bother me a lot.
Similarly, Fubuki and Kaede can go away. They contributed close to nothing and I don't need them here.
I was hoping for more development for Luka and Faris. On the other hand, I think that Kurisu card should be used a bit less. Let us truly feel we miss her.
Tumblr media
In the original, everything happens because of our protagonists. They make the PhoneWave, they choose to experiment and then they need to suffer consequences. Here they (especially Okabe) are mostly passive and just allow stuff to happen. This causes problems because worldline changes many times in 0 and we don't really know how and why it happens. Sure, it is connected to Amadeus (usually), but I'm lacking an explanation. It just kinda happens. I disliked not knowing the reason behind each change. Sure, in the original the reason isn’t always perfect (like how they change Luka’s sex), but at least I know the source. Again, not an issue in itself, but I regret we didn’t get more answers. 
The first chapters were really difficult to get through. With no goal in mind, Okabe no longer being charismatic enough to carry the story and not really having a plot, it’s difficult to call this experience enjoyable.
Tumblr media
Pacing was all over the place. Steins;Gate 0 consists of 14 chapters (including Prologue and True End). The minimum number of chapters you need to play to reach an ending is 5 (Gehenna’s Stigma and Twin Automata) and the longest single route takes 7 (Milky-way Crossing). Because of that, I often felt like the story either didn’t have or had too many climaxes. Apart from that, it was disappointing to find out that some of my favourite moments aren’t technically canon. Well, to be fair, you could even argue that in the grand scheme of things, nothing that happens in beta was real because the world shifts to Steins Gate, but you know what I mean.
I didn’t like the push for romance for Okabe. First of all, because it felt disrespectful towards him. Here we have a broken, depressed man who needs a lot of therapy. Playing romantic tension for laughs, while we are dealing with a man who killed a person he loved, seems very icky for me. And implying that Maho might develop feelings for him just felt so unhealthy, because she would literally become a replacement. Kinda like in Harry Potter where one of the Weasley twins dies and then his girlfriend marries the surviving brother - that’s just messed up. Look, I love both of them, but they need therapy, not romance.
Tumblr media
Minor nitpick, so, they updated character sprites for 0, but, of some reason, in Summer Mayuri and Faris have their old sprites. Similarly, Kurisu has her old sprite in Okabe's memories and while we quickly jump to alpha, while she has new new sprite as Amadeus and in Maho's memories. Why? Who did this? Also, nobody except for Kagari and Suzuha get a sprite in the future. They robbed us! Also, also, I find it kinda funny that Okabe notices himself having partially grey hair, but he doesn't have them on CGs.
True Ending is a joke. It's short and anticlimactic. Yes, it would feel cheap if they just gave us the original VN ending to play, but I would prefer if they added it.
Conclusion
So, I did write more negative points, but I can't say I had a bad time. I enjoyed playing the game... for the most part! Look, I'm not going to pretend that the original SG had no issues. It had, but I think 0 lows were too low for me. But, hey! At least I would say it had different problems, so... progress?
While I do appreciate that the structure of 0 allowed us to experience more perspectives and stories (also, I enjoyed that the path to Steins;Gate requires many futures), I ultimately think it was also its biggest flaw. I might one day consider what kind of rewrites I would implement.
Tumblr media
As a side note, I think I might write a separate post on the depiction of AI in SG 0 because it is something I was working on during my bachelor's and master's thesis, therefore I have thoughts.

Since BF Ace’s anime did not give us Adult Suzuha (and like PRETTY MUCH ALL THE OG CAST EXPECT FOR A FEW, IM BLESSED THEY GAVE TASUKU THE MOST SCREENTIME LOL) I have found a wonderful adult FC for her that I think works well so I can do threads with her as an adult! So, here is 36 year old Suzuha!
I always imagined as she got older she sorta retired her fairytale princess look for what she wears all the time (though she prob still wears it for over the top formal events because it’s Suzuha and whatnot) to a more adult modern elegant business woman running the Amanosuzu Group.

【KHR AU】 XanLena & Selena Rambles ❤️💜🍷🪷
Sen's KHR OCs
Nguyễn Selena (Nguyễn Nguyệt Vân Liên)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lê Thiên Linh
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Selena Doodles (Quick redraws) 💜✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I resketched Selena's hair 💜
Oh and I also used the eyes from the Selena wearing Vietnamese traditional clothes, Việt Phục (áo tấc) drawing.
Both look nice but I think it fits my art style more
I resketched these quickly so it's not as refined but I'm still experimenting/trying to decide how I want Selena's hair to be drawn, whether I want to keep the curls in the back or not
I also wanna give Selena a TYL (Ten Years Later) design like the rest of the KHR cast has.
I feel like Selena's ponytail is pretty iconic to her design?
So I'd just add a bun on top of the ponytail in her TYL design (whenever I get the chance to design it in the future)
Also put the rest of my WIPs and rambles under the cut
Btw I've drawn Linh before but I need to redraw the sketch sometime
Tumblr media
I love gradient maps! They've really been spicing up my arts. I looove choosing colours. It's so fun to play around with them
(Excuse the old art of Selena I still need to redraw it)
Examples with my beloved Selena and my beloved KuroEne 😘💗🫶
Selena and her NB swag 💜
XanLena ❤️💜
Tumblr media Tumblr media
XanLena chibis and a quick Selena chibi I sketched recently
Trying to experiment… I think I should redraw the Xanxus and Selena chibis at some point
I'll keep the core features like the eyes and colours! I'll just fix up some stuff
Drawing chibis is actually harder than drawing normally for me 😭
I also drew another quick Selena chibi
Selena 💜🪷
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1: OG colours 2: Hue Shift + Gradient Map 3: Gradient Map
I prefer the 2nd one best because I love the purple + pink gradient, but the muted pink one (last one) is also cute.
These drawings are old btw
KuroEne 🖤💙

Selena's Name 💜🪷
"Japan has a custom called 'ateji' which is to give foreign words kanji characters based on their sounds, and this tradition is used to create kanji names for people with non-Japanese names."
So for example, just based on what I know, when Viet names are translated to Japanese, they're either written in katakana, or, if they're Sino-Viet (use Chinese characters), then you can either make a JP reading of the name (if possible with the characters), or write the pronunciation of the name in furigana on top of the kanji.
I learned new things recently on how to translate Vietnamese names to Japanese too.
C: Oooh I see :D That's cool!
...
For example, the unorthodox/non-standard reading that I chose of Selena's Viet name, Nguyễn Nguyệt Vân Liên (阮月雲蓮), is Gen Suzuha. It uses the same characters.
Because I wanted to give Selena a JP alias as well since she travels a lot. The multiple names are for ease when she travels
阮 - Ruǎn (CN), Nguyễn (VN), Gen (JP)
The most common Viet last name Nguyễn is translated as either Gen (阮) or Guen (グエン) in JP
In VN, Nguyễn is not pronounced with a hard English -g like that btw. It's hard to describe unless I make a video but in EN it's pronounced more like "Nwehen" or "Nghwin," said as 1 syllable
Sino Viet = Part of the Vietnamese vocabularly of Chinese origin
Furigana = Furigana are the characters on top of kanji that gives the pronunciation in Japanese.
At first I was conflicted whether to write Selena's name as セレナ (Serena) or せりな (Serina) in Japanese
Cuz I pronounce Selena's name as Seh-lee-nah. Though Seh-leh-nah (JP pronunciation) is fine too
Though these EN names are often romanized/transliterated like this in JP:
Selena: セレナ (Serena) Selina/Serina: せりな (Serina)
I went with the 1st one at first, but I ended up choosing the 2nd one cuz it matches closer to the pronunciation of Selena's name
Selena's Name (Continued) 🌙🪷
Selena's names:
English name: Nguyễn Selena (グエン・セリナ)
Vietnamese name: Nguyễn Nguyệt Vân Liên (阮月雲蓮)
Japanese alias name: Gen Suzuha (阮月雲蓮)
The most common Vietnamese last name that about ~40% of Viet folks have, Nguyễn, is written as either グエン (Guen) or 阮 (Gen) in JP. It doesn't match the Viet pronunciation, but it's the closest we can get in JP.
I write my KHR OC, Selena's name as セレナ (Serena) in Japanese, to match the spelling of her name in English, but the pronunciation of the name Selena in English is like "Seh-lee-nah." That's how I pronounce it.
I pronounce XanLena's ship name as "Zan-lee-nah" personally.
Cuz I just checked the Wikipedia pages of famous people to see how Selena is written
I don't mind if others pronounce it as "Suh-lee-nah" or "Seh-leh-nah." That's why I was wondering if I wanted to write her name in katakana to match the spelling or the pronunciation...
Ideas for Selena's name spellings:
セレナ (Serena) → Selena
せりな (Serina) → Selina, Celina
セレーナ (Sereena) → Selena, Serena
セリーナ (Seriina) → Serina, Selina
So any of these spellings could work. English words have stressed syllables, but Japanese doesn't really have that and has pitch accent instead.
Cuz Selena's Viet name, Liên (蓮) means "lotus." In Japanese names, the character 蓮 for lotus is read as "Ren."
So one hand, this spelling ends up being closer to her Viet name. But the other spelling is closer to the way her name should be pronounced.
I've seen せりな (Serina) be used for "Selena" before, because the 2nd is usually used for the spellings, "Selina, Celina," so I went with the 1st one at first. But then eventually chose the 2nd one.
I'm still deciding on it though... Also you can go against the conventional spellings.
Misc Rambles
Me: Was checking the automated Google Translate of my fave ships for fun
FGO:
リンぐだ (RinGuda) → LimGuda
(Google Translate: RinGuda)
WATGBS AU:
イダ竜 (IdaTatsu) → IdaTatsu
(Google Translate: IdaRyu)
KHR AU:
ザンレナ (ZanRena) → XanLena
(Google Translate: ZanRena)
MAGI:
ジュダアリ (JudaAri) → JudaAli
(Google Translate: JudaAli)
KAGEPRO:
黒コノエネ (KuroKonoEne) → KuroKonoEne
(Google Translate: KuroKonoe)
...
These are actually pretty close but IdaTatsu turning into IdaRyu and KuroKonoEne turning into KuroKonoe 😭
S: Idate I didn’t know you were dating Tatsumiya’s genderbent version Ryuki
Me: Cuz I was just reminded of how Cinna said Google Translate would turn GokuTsuna into Tuna's prison 😭
S: TSUNA'S PRISON
Me: TUNA... 🐟
S: 🐟
Me: IdaTatsu yuri and yaoi would be based!
Kanji for 竜 (Dragon) in Tatsumiya's name can be read as Ryu or Tatsu depending on the reading
S: Oh my
Me: Oh and Google Translate turning my MMBN/EXE ships, BluesRock into BullRock, or EnNetsu (Enzan/Netto) into Flame Heat
S: I guess in this reading they took Ryu Ahahaha IdaTatsu Yuri 🤭😳
S: Just like how that refrigerator caught on fire
Me: LMAO
I'm curious to see more funny Google Translate versions of ship names
S: LOL
Kinda miss when ship names were like Flame heat or Ice heart but also maybe I’m kinda glad it’s just their names fused now
Me: WSDSHSS they have a cute charm to them but thank god the ship names that are just portmanteaus (two charas' names together) are not impossible to remember. From Cinna before:
C: I think it's insanely funny when Google TL translates GokuTsuna as "Tuna's prison" like yeah Tuna prison that's my ship!
S: HELLO HELP
Me: Reminds me of KuroKonoEne/KuroEne getting translated as Black Kono Energy sometimes
S: Man I love my ship, oh their name? Yeah it’s TUNA’S PRISON, hope that helps!
C: I have Tuna's prison for GokuTsuna and Homo bull for EnBlues 👍👍👍👍👍
S: Maybe we don’t need creative ship names we just need whatever Google translates
Me: It's so funny cuz KHR's EA/JP fandom mainly used numbers for ship names cuz the syllables in charas' names sound like numbers in JP or CN, depending on the reading
(Btw I'm just putting the context for any mutuals who aren't familiar with KHR)
Like they're easy to remember if you're learning the language
So the fandom puts these numbers or letters together for ship names
Ex.
2 = Tsu
5 = Go
7 = Na
9 = Kyu
Ex.
18 = Hibari
59 = Gokudera
27 = Tsuna
...
S: RIP to me cause I don’t know Japanese but Wowie
Me: Cinna was like "The numbers are impossible for me to remember I swear if I tried remembering them I'd one day be logging into my bank account with them" 😭😂
S: LOL
Google passwords? Nah just give me a password with the ship name in numbers in Japanese and I’ll be set for life
Me: For charas who don't have number representations (non JP names), they use letters
X = Xanxus (ザンザス, Zanzasu)
3 = San (Sounds the closest to "Zan" that we can get)
S: Ooooo
Oh I’ve just been pronouncing Xanxus as Zansus LMAO 💀
Me: HELP WSSHDSH
S: LOL
Me: I remember Cinna's reaction from back then 😭😂
Tumblr media
S: First Idate, now Xanxus, so who else will fall victim to my American pronunciation
LIKE I HAD BEEN PRONOUNCING HIS NAME AS EYE-DATE (I DATE) INSTEAD OF THE JP PRONUNCIATION 😭
Me: 😭😭😭
S: LMAO
Me: Tbf Xanxus is probably a cool made up name made up by Amano
S: Oooo probably
Tho I didn’t assume so cause Ik there’s a lot of foreign names that sound made up but they aren’t
Me: All of the other Varia members are named after the 7 Deadly Sins, except Xanxus cuz his name is special 🤭💖🫶
S: Xanxus is a special little boy 🫶
Me: But yeah with the 7 Deadly Sins theme-ing of the Varia, that includes Belphegor (Bel)
S: Would Selena notice that his name is not a deadly sin and call him special for that
S: Ooooooo
Me: That'd be cute! I think she'd notice that his name is special and especially fitting for him 🤭
Xanxus was named for his flame as a kid, since he was born on 10/10, so he has two of the Roman numeral X's in his name, and so believed from birth that he'd become Vongola 10th boss
Xanxus manifested a really rare and special flame, the Flame of Wrath
S: He was born on 10/10 to be a 10/10
Me: Saur true!!! 💖
Me: Let me see if I can find the Varia being 7 Deadly Sins themed

S: “To join Varia you must speak a minimum of seven languages“ what are they doing with seven languages, Mr. Worldwides???
Me: YEAH THAT'S CRAZY WSSDSHDSSH
I imagine Selena knows 4 languages:
Vietnamese, English, Japanese, Italian
But then gets taught the rest cuz they seem ""lax"" on this rule
I MEAN I CAN SEE SQUALO BEING STRICT ABOUT IT AND PESTERING HER AS A TIRED CHAOTIC "OLDER BROTHER" FIGURE
But I don't see it as the ultimate requirement or whatever.
So then Selena gets given a tutor to learn the rest
S: OHHH omg if they were strict on it fuckkk
Me: Vietnamese, English, Japanese, Italian
I just assume it's obviously not the most important requirement to become a Varia member tho cuz they wanted to hire a ~10 y/o kid Fran for his illusionist skills, because Fran is one of the best illusionists. And I doubt this kid knows 7???
So yeah they care more about the member being able to work well with them as an assassin.
AKA their skills, being proficient in killing people, ability to adapt with them in fights... Basically what really matters.
S: Selena my girl you gotta get the last of the 7 Dragon Balls of languages or something I actually don’t know how many are there
I would be sweating bullets if I were her and I didn’t know seven languages only to be met with a “Oh yeah dw about it you can learn the rest“
Me: So yeah Squalo probably gets her a tutor and tells her to learn the rest ASFFGFHJKLL
S: Who put the 7 language there as a rule anyways ‼️‼️ I’m kidding but omg 😭
S: She can always learn Spanish, if she already knows Italian it’s gonna be a breeze
Me: I just remember that this trivia has always existed since I was 12 but I could never find a source for it? Might come from some old JP magazine of KHR
I'm not very sure.
S: Oooooo
Me: OHHH so true!
S: Saur true!!! Amano goes into a magazine interview, “Oh yeah Varia members need to learn 7 languages to join“ doesn’t elaborate, never does
Me: Also in one of the KHR omake side stories, Lussuria tries asking Xanxus "if the rumours of Xanxus knowing 12 languages are true"
(.) 🧍
S: HELP
Me: And grumpy assassin leader Xanxus just doesn't answer. So typical! /pos /endearing
7 IS ALREADY CRAZY, BUT 12, BRO???
The Varia members, Xanxus especially, are definitely linguistically gifted.
S: By the time he’s old he’s gonna learn every language in the world
S: So true‼️‼️
S: It’s okay on the positive note he can always tell Selena he loves her in different languages
Or he’s more of a acts of service kinda guy
S: IKR 12 IS CRAAZZYYY
I could barely grasp 2
Me: He's definitely more of a Gifts and Acts of Service guy so he'll gift her gifts like flowers she loves ❤️
Like Xanxus probably has the servants wrap flowers for her and gift her her favourite ones. Lotus flowers, Wisteria, Peonies, etc.
S: Awwww so romantic 💖
Me: Oh the fact that Xanxus would learn Viet for Selena is very cute
Like he just learns it without telling her, and just surprises her when he suddenly starts speaking fluent Viet to her
S: OOOOOOO
Choosing the Spelling for Selena's Name
S: Oooooo I like Serina
Me: Yeahhh I like it too cuz it matches the pronunciation of her name. I've also seen some people use せりな (Serina) for Selena as well, it's just not as common as Selina and Celina
Though you can also go against conventional spellings in JP!
Like I read peoples’ rambles and one person brought up an example of a “Sarah” who hated the standard サラ (Sara) and instead uses セラ (Sera) so it’s not an issue
Me: Also ty Snow for your input and for chatting with me this morning, bestie!
S: Of course!! <3
Oomfie Osmosis
S: I'm just following your blorbo rambles through the oomfie osmosis but where does KHR take place? Is it in Japan?
C: It's mainly in Japan, but Italy is very plot relevant
Me: The main cast lives in Japan. So, the protag, Tsuna, and his Guardians (Vongola 10th Generation members).
But secondary characters like the Varia, live in Italy, and come to Japan when necessary/for work/for plot reasons. They also like to go to Japan on vacation
Me: LMFAO
Also even for series that my friends are into where I don’t know the series, my friends' faves become my faves too by association, through the osmosis, and my comfort characters and skrunklies in law
Comfort character/skrunkly in law through the osmosis, to skrunkly of mine!
