びーた、彼のママにはびーちゃんと呼ばれている

2019年7月、当時家主が働いていた某病院に「駐車場で猫の鳴き声がする」という報告があり、カラスから逃げ回っていたところを家主と管理スタッフに保護された子猫。下肢に化膿した傷があったが、毎日の通院で無事に育つ。精一杯助けを求め、ケガをしてなお生きようとする力強さから、家主がVitaと名付けた。

状態が落ち着いてから別の病院スタッフに引き取られた。当時は目が大きく病院でもノル混じりでは、という噂があったが、Ｊさんより大顔の立派な白キジに育っている。

なおとある黒毛玉とは異なり、滞在中Ｊさんとは良好な関係で過ごした。

Vita, his mom call him Vi-chan

The adopted injured little kitten found by landlady and facility managers who heard some announcements that kitty was meowing around the parking of the hospital where she worked July 2019, while he run away and hid from crows. He had a heavy suppurating wound, but he had been getting well by vets' care of every day. His name Vita named by landlady is from his vitality to meow as loud as possible to ask help and live against heavy wound.

He moved to another staff's house after getting well. Although many people who met him at the vet said he was a mixed Norwegian because of his big eyes, he now has a greater face than Mr J and has gotten a mature Japanese brown tabby.

And, unlike a certain black furball, He could get well with Mr.J white his staying.

Let’s talk about how Lussuria’s queerness is discussed in Japanese!

It’s no big secret that Lussuria is not…great…representation, but he is iconic for much of the queer audience, and in KHR’s heyday he was popular-ish with Japanese girls as “the gay best friend character.” Here are some ways used to describe Luss’ queer identity:

“ルス姉さん” (Luss nee-san) - Big sis Luss. Subordinates call her this in the future arc.

“変態” (Hentai) - you know this one, pervert.

“オカマ” (Okama) - slur for AMAB queer people, sometimes reclaimed by queer people but used offensively in KHR. Used by Bel, Fran, Squalo, and even the narrator! It’s comparable to the f-slur or t-slur, Luss does not like being called it.

Luss’ way of speaking is very feminine, lots of “あらぁ~♡” (Ara~~) and stressed vowels.

Luss calls himself the “お母さん” (okaa-san, mother) and “ママ” (mama, mommy) of the Varia in special segments.

Luss’ nickname for Squalo, “スクちゃん” (Squ-chan) is extremely feminine, something only a mother or close female friend would say. Like it’s ridiculous Squalo lets her say this, it’s a little boy nickname 😭

In a mini comic extra, the narrator isn’t sure whether to call them “he” or “she.”

One of my favorite bits on “オカマ” (Okama) is when the Varia try to get Fran from the present and are wearing their every day clothes. Bel says that Fran won’t like Luss’ perverted okama clothes, and then Luss angrily says that it doesn’t matter what Fran thinks about them.

“Father” Based Words in Buddy Daddies

I figured a lot of Buddy Daddies fans might be interested in this video from Unseen Japan called “How the Japanese Words for Parents Lost Out to English.”

I also thought that this would be a great video to talk about how Kazuki, Rei, and other characters usage of words for “dad” and “father” in Buddy Daddies thus far (as of Episode 9, though, if there are any further interesting usages or things I feel could be added after the series ends, I will definitely include and update reblog on this!).

In Episode 3, when Rei asks Miri:

“What about your real father?” He uses the term 父上 (chichiue), which is far more formal than other terms that we see other characters use, such as Miss Anna. She refers to Kazuki and Rei either as お父さん (otousan) or パパ（達) (papa (tachi)), usually she uses Papa when talking about Kazuki or Rei directly to Miri:

(Miss Anna to Miri:  “Are you happy to have two papas?”)

While using otousan when directing her speech at Kazuki and/or Rei :

(”Two fathers, you say?” - She uses お父さん - otousan here, which gets translated to “father,” just like Rei’s use of chichiue did, because they are more polite and formal ways to say “dad.” But, we’ll talk a bit more about this later). 

We’ve never had Kazuki mention his mother and father separately, just in a more unit type of way (”parental abandonment” etc.). But, we see that he refers to the other mothers as ママ友 (mamatomo), which can be translated as “mom friends” or “other mothers/moms,” like in Episode 6:

(Kazuki: “Of course, the other mothers all say the same about their kids.” - Since he is talking more generally here, and not, for example, about his group of mom friends, it makes sense that the English translation went with “mothers,” instead of “moms”).

When talking about himself, he sometimes uses papa, specifically when talking to Miri about himself, like in this Episode 6 scene:

(The English subs use: “Anna-chan told me a little story,” while the Japanese itself has Kazuki saying “Papa heard something from Anna-chan” or something more so along those lines, that’s a bit unnatural sounding, and usually English speakers don’t refer to themselves as their parental role, unless it’s something like “As your father/mother/etc...”).

And, speaking of that phrase, in Episode 6 as well, when Kazuki states:

“As a father...” He uses chichiue. Like Rei did when talking about Miri’s father, which we’ll get to in a bit. I believe there is one time when Kazuki is referring to himself as well, and “dad” gets used, either in the sub or dub translation. I can’t remember the exact scene though. But,that fits with the point that, generally speaking, Kazuki is pretty informal with his speech. Like how he calls Kyutaro, Kyu-chan, as opposed to Rei, who calls him Kyutaro-san (more formal). Miri seems to be following after Kazuki in this way though.

This post is getting quite long as it is, so I’ll put the rest of this under a Read More:

Although, the teen Miri that Kazuki envisions, isn’t just informal in her speech, but also rude.

The subs have her calling Kazuki, “old fart,” which is an appropriate way to translate ジジイ (jijii), both a very informal and rude way to refer to one’s father.

Getting back to Kazuki though. He uses chichiue when talking about the idea of “father,” right. “As a father...,” but not for himself. Since chichiue is distant sounding. It’s colder and more formal (Draco Malfoy refers to his father as such in the Japanese version of the Harry Potter books, for example).

This then brings us back to Rei. He referred to Miri’s blood father as chichiue, and then he thinks:

“Father...” using chichiue and thinking of his own. 

When he calls out to his father, he uses 父さん (tousan), which gets translated to “Dad!” It’s a very common way for older children, teens, and adult children to call their fathers, so that makes sense. Most children speaking English, at least in the states, switch from “Daddy” to “Dad” when they’ve reached the age Rei is here (probably near his preteens). 

But Rei’s father replies back:

“Don’t call me, ‘Dad.’“ He uses 父 (chichi), which is more formal. Over on Hi Native, a Japanese individual did a break down on politeness levels for different father words:

Text: 

お父様 - otousama - formal polite

父 - chichi - formal

お父さん - otousan - polite

父さん - tousan - less polite

親父 - oyaji - casual

パパ - papa - casual

His father requests that Rei uses “Boss,” a term not attached to fatherhood at all, and it is the word Rei does end up using:

(Rei: “Forgive my long absence, Boss.”)

As we can see here in Episode 8, when he calls his father, “Boss.”

But, of course, when it comes to himself, Rei is a Papa. He calls himself Miri’s Papa, responds to Papa, and has used it for Kazuki as well.

Rei’s own experiences with his father, his ideas and concepts of fatherhood, and his own relationship with politeness levels all played additional roles in his reluctance to referred to as “Rei Papa/Papa Rei” at first. 

But, as you can see, Buddy Daddies has used a variety of different words for “father” over the course of the show, each with their own levels of politeness, tone, and warmth to them, and many of which are mentioned in the above video I embedded into this post. So definitely give that a watch if you haven’t yet!

Irisvia "Iris" Ran-Kaniska

The Crown Princess of Ishabana born from Queen Himeno's studies on DNA splicing to have a child made from the DNA of herself, Rita, and Morfonia.

Due to the difficulties of creating a child from more than 2 parents, she was carried in one of Ishabana's Incubators to keep track of her growth and stability. The first trimester was under Himeno's care due to Ishabana's stable climate before being able to be cared for by Rita and Morfonia in Gokkan a couple weeks at a time to allow her to bond with all parents. Rita and Morfonia would try to visit Ishabana as much as possible since the Egg would spend most of its time there.

Because she is of royal blood, Iris has to stay in Ishabana most of the time which has caused issues as she was born when Rita was still King. While her Gokkanian parents do visit, sometimes Himeno would have to take her to Gokkan in order to see them more often. Rita stepped down from being King after Iris's 2nd birthday since their workload often prevented them from seeing their daughter. Morfonia was able to find ways to make the workload easier for herself once she became King so she could still spend time with the child. Both are often seen taking naps together which makes Rita and Himeno snap photos and cry from the cuteness.

Basic Info:

Name Origin:

Helvia Cardinalis (Yellow Flower Mantis)

Apatura Iris (Purple Emperor Butterfly)

Age - ~5 years old

Shy but can be social

Likes Studying

Loves being praised (especially by Rita)

Naps a LOT (always eepy)

Spoiled (Himeno is still teaching her how to properly be selfish lol)

Casual about Moffun (most of her Moffun stuff is bc of her parents)

Cries when she screams

Instead of Rita's "Bwah!", she screams Himeno's "iya!" (嫌っ！)

Can do a perfect Rita impression (started by Morfonia as a prank. Rita wasn't too happy since they didn't want Iris to end up like them, but accepts that she has fun when doing it)

Her hairclips are asymmetrical on purpose. Himeno does it as a nod to her Chapter 2 dress and Rita's collar and hair. Her skirt is designed to look like flower petals so her outfit is essentially butterflies on a flower.

Her hair has a pink tint due to Himeno's pink highlights from her natural blonde.

How she refers to each parent:

Rita - Papi (パピ). Taken from "Papillon" as Rita didn't want to be called "Papa" after Himeno called them such so they compromised.

Himeno - Mama (ママ)

Morfonia - Ha-ha (母). Morfonia doesn't mind "Kaa-san/-chan" but due to Iris's upbringing, she calls Morf "Ha-ha". (She suggested "Mami" but Himeno rejected it bc it meant she'd match Rita and they already rejected "Papa".). Iris does eventually call her "Kaa-san" as she grows up.

橘木のモデルを使用してくださる皆様へ

はじめに

ありがたいことに、現在何人もの方が橘木の制作したLive2Dモデルを使用してくださっています。本当にありがたいことです。 モデルを使用してくださる方が増えると同時に、Vtuberを取り巻く独特な文化の中における私自身のスタンスを改めて明確にしておく必要性があると感じましたので、少し長くなるかもしれませんがこちらにまとめておきます。 モデル使用者の方は是非ご一読ください。

Introduction

Thankfully, several people are now using Live2D models created by ktk. I am truly grateful. Now, in the unique culture surrounding Vtubers, I felt it necessary to reiterate my own stance. If you are a user of ktk's models, please read on.

※Vtuberの親子・兄弟姉妹文化について Vtuber界隈には、Vtuberの原画・イラストを担当した人を「ママ」、Live2Dモデリングを担当した人を「パパ」と呼んだり、同じ「パパ」や「ママ」から生み出されたVtuberを「きょうだい」と呼ぶ文化が存在しています。

✄----------------------------------------✄

パパママ呼びについて

まず、Vtuberさん側から私のことは、どのような呼び方をしていただいても構いません。パパママ、モデル制作者、お父さん、近所の人、おっかさん、親父、かーちゃん、きつきさん…などなど、常識の範囲内であれば何でも構いません。ｸｿｼﾞｼﾞｲ!とかは流石に嫌です😅 どのように呼んでいただいても(または呼ばなくても)、その呼び方次第で私からVtuberの皆さんへの接し方が変わることはありません。

About calling me "Papamama".

First of all, you may call me any way you like. Papamama, model creator, father, neighbor, okasan, dad, ka-chan, ktk...etc. Anything within the bounds of common sense is fine.

No matter what you call me (or don't call me), it won't change the way I treat you Vtubers.

✄----------------------------------------✄

橘木自身のスタンス

一方で、私自身については「(原画イラストを含めた)Live2Dモデルの制作者」という立場をとらせていただきます。 私とVtuberさんとはあくま��「クリエイターとクライアント」の関係であるという認識でおり、私が「親」としてVtuberの皆さんに干渉することはありませんし、Vtuberの皆さんとの親子のロールプレイを求められても私はそれに応えることができません。子が親に甘えるような、距離の近いコミュニケーションやそのような関係性は私にとっては好ましくないものです。あくまで「クリエイターとクライアント」の関係で完結しているため、Vtuberの皆さんの活動全てをチェックすることはできませんし、そのような義務もないと考えています。 折にふれて皆さんの宣伝ツイートをRTしたり応援ツイートをしたりすることはあるかもしれません。 私とVtuberさんたちとは「親と子」の関係ではなく、「大人と大人」という関係でありたいと思っています。

少し話は逸れますが…私が「親子」という関係に必要以上に縛られたくないのと同時に、私自身も「子」をあまり縛りたくないと考えております。 もし「Live2Dモデルのバージョンアップを橘木以外のLive2Dモデラーさんに依頼したい」などのご要望があれば、私にはLive2Dのオリジナルデータ(.cmo3ファイル等)を有償ですが譲渡することも可能です。

ktk's stance

On the other hand, I would like to take the position of "creator of Live2D models (including original illustrations)".  I consider my relationship with Vtubers to be that of "creator and client". I will not interfere with the Vtubers as a "parent" and I cannot respond to requests for parent-child role-play with the Vtubers. I do not like close communication and such relationships, like children spoiling their parents. Since this is only a "creator-client" relationship, I cannot keep track of all of a Vtuber's activities, nor do I consider myself obligated to do so.

I may occasionally RT your promotional tweets or tweet support for you.

I do not want to have a "parent-child" relationship with you, but rather an "adult-adult" relationship.

To digress a little... At the same time that I do not want to be bound by the "parent-child" relationship more than necessary, I myself do not want to bind my "child" too much. If there is a request such as "I would like to ask a Live2D modeler other than ktk to upgrade the Live2D model," I can provide the original Live2D data (.cmo3 file, etc.) for a fee.

✄----------------------------------------✄

兄弟姉妹関係について

Vtuber界隈にはイラスト担当やモデリング担当を同じくするVtuberたち同士で兄弟姉妹関係を形作る文化がありますが、こちらについても私の方から「親」として干渉することはありません。Vtuberの皆さん個々人の判断にお任せします。私の方から「きょうだいなのだから仲良くしよう」と言うことはありませんし、必ずしも兄弟姉妹関係を受け入れなければならないとも考えていません。ご自身のVtuberとしての活動方針に沿った判断をしていただければと考えています。

Sibling Relationships

In the Vtuber world, there is a culture of sibling relationships among Vtubers who are illustrated and modeled by the same creator. I will not interfere as a "parent" in this regard either, and will leave it up to the individual Vtubers to decide for themselves. I will not tell you to get along with your siblings because you are siblings, nor do I think you necessarily have to accept a sibling relationship. I hope that you will make a decision that is in line with your own policy for your activities as a Vtuber.

✄----------------------------------------✄

おわりに

長くなってしまいましたが、少し独特な文化がある故のすれ違いやトラブルを避けるために改めて私の立場を明確にさせていただきました。 私のLive2Dモデルを選んでくださった皆さんには感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。どうかこれからも個々人のペースと気持ちを大切に、自由に、楽しく活動を続けられますように心からお祈りしております。

Conclusion

It has been a long time coming, but I have clarified my position once again to avoid any misunderstandings or problems due to our somewhat unique culture.I would like to thank everyone who has chosen to use my Live2D models. I sincerely hope that you will continue to enjoy your activities freely and happily, respecting your individual pace and feelings.

This word is something shouted when cheering someone on, such as at a sporting event. It could be translated in many ways into English, including "Do your best!" "You can do it!" "Go for it!"

Yamada Airport - 4:17pm

TW: Violence (Grabbing someone’s wrist)

Voicemail: 美沙子です、メッセージを残してください。(This is Misako, leave a message.) *BEEP* Kanako: みさちゃん？ 私は...さようならを言うために呼んでいます。二度と会えないのなら、私があなたとママとパパを愛していることを知ってください。 それらを教えてください。(Misa-chan? I'm... I'm calling to say goodbye. If we never see each other again, just know that I love you, and Mom and Dad. Tell them.)

Kanako: みさちゃん、子供の頃に作ったコードを覚えてる？ 私は差し迫った危険にさらされているので、それを使用する必要があるかもしれません。 「あじさいは逆境を通して美しく咲きます。」(Misa-chan, remember the code we made up as kids? I may need to use it because I am in imminent danger. "The Hydrangea blooms beautifully through adversity.")

Kidnapper: 急いで、叶子。 飛行機はもうすぐです。(Hurry up, Kanako. The plane is almost here.)

Kanako: *panicking* お願い、みさちゃん。 ママとパパに警告します。 広おじさんに警告します。 警察に警告します。(Please, Misa-chan. Warn mom and dad. Warn Uncle Hiro. Warn the police.) *The kidnapper snatches the phone from Kanako and hangs up*

*Kanako begins to cry when she feels her arm being moved and grabbed onto, tightly*

Kidnapper: さあ行こう！ 動く！ (Let’s go! Move!) Kanako: わかった！ わかった！(Okay! Okay!)

Kidnapper: 警察に警告しようと何を考えていましたか？ 私は誓う、小さな女の子、私はあなたを私と一緒に家に連れて帰り、あなたを殺すべきだった。(What were you thinking trying to alert the police? I swear, little girl, I should have taken you home with me and killed you.) Kanako: ごめんなさい。(I’m sorry.) Kidnapper: この飛行機に乗りなさい、あなたは雌犬です！(Get in this plane, you bitch!)

Eight Hours Later - Oasis Springs, New Nagara

*The kidnapper knocks on the door of a gated residence, which is opened by one of the residence*

Kidnapper: Jose-Luis Pacheco?

Kidnapper: I have your mail-order bride.

Kidnapper: Go on. State your name. Kanako: My name... is... Sherri.

Jose-Luis: Sherri, huh? Lovely name. And by the looks of it, you’ll make the perfect third person for our throuple. Tan’jiro tells me you used to work as a barmaid in Awabeniyama, is that right? Kanako: Y-yes.

Jose-Luis: Perfect. Mr. Takeda, you’re free to go. I’ll have the money ready for you in a week. Tan’jiro: Good. Behave yourself, Sherri. *Tan’jiro Takeda leaves the house*

Jose-Luis: Brooklynne will love you, Sherri. She’s been looking for someone for us the last few months. We’ll take great care of you.

Kanako: *thinking* みさちゃん、メッセージが届いたらいいなと思います。(Misa-chan, I hope you've gotten my message.)

Title: Boku no Mama chan (43) Kaihatsu Nikki (僕のママちゃん (43) 開発日記)

Author: NEKO Hakushaku

Genre: Comedy, Romance & Yaoi

Status: Completed (6 Chapters + 1 Extra)

Plot Summary

Maeda Mamoru, 43 years old and Shirasu Christopher, 31 are both actors who have been working as detective partners in a crime series for 4 years. The drama they're airing has quite successful ratings especially among their female admirers. And so due to their popularity, some BL fan fictions were even made, vaguely based on their bromance duo on screen. Mamoru, after reading some of the erotic stories in question, starts to become more aware of his colleague's presence, that is to say Christopher, especially when hugged by the latter. How long will Mamoru-chan be able to act as if nothing, suppressing all kinds of desires despite his fantasies becoming more and more wild...
