Either fucking way I am going to be honest with you: I am not toughing out another two years of this shit. SOMETHING MUST GIVE

Demetri ‘invented’ these at thirteen during study hall and to this day still argues how the should be integrated into society.

What item of clothing would you want if it were made of spider silk?

Since Spife has reconnected me with a song that I had been looking for, I wanted to share a song that plays 24/7 in my head

Literally thank you I loved that song so much when it first came out! @hantenguclonesimp-minuszoha

Can you do the new sternritter's Vollstandig Name in the new anime?

Oh yeah, I wasn't sure if there had been any kanji released for that but it seems like the Bleach wiki has something up there for them, although they haven't cited their sources, as usual... They cite the chapter and episode they each appear in respectively, but go figure, you guys... the anime appearance does not include t e x t. So no idea where either the kanji or the romanized names came from.(wait did they get the kanji and katakana from Japanese closedcaptioning? Do they include furigana on [cc] in Japan??)

This wound up way longer than I'd intended...

Balbarriel[神の雷霆] phonetically, BA-RU-BA-RI-E-RU[バルバリエル]. So weirdly this is how Japanese defines the name Ramiel/Remiel/Reniel[רַעַמְאֵל] the name of an actual biblical angel, so both Japanese epithets here, plus the original hebrew all translate as "Thunder of God." But oddly it sounds a lot more like Bariel, which is an angel named in the Ars Paulonia, part of the Lesser Key of Solomon, a grimoire foundational to a lot of the surviving legacy of Christian occultism and demonology nonsense.(i.e. It was some nerd's 18th century Pokedex of fanfic and headcanons.) That being said, it has no actual meaning the way biblical angels(Gabriel, Raphael, Ariel, Uriel, Michael, etc...) do, because it's not hebrew and the idiot who made it up in the 1800s obviously didn't know what he was talking about. It is of course the exact same kanji used for her Schrift The Thunderbolt[雷霆].

Azhalbiora[神の死] meaning "Death of God" and written as phonetically A-ZA-RU-BI-O-RA[アザルビオラ]. Other than seemingly a little lazy the name just kinda doesn't make a lot of sense as a name for her power. And once again there is no apparent basis in actual angelic names so it's not like there's context to work with. It has an almost vaguely fake "arabic" sound to it? Like the sort of shit H.P Lovecraft would've come up with?

Pornipora[神の力] I'm sure any weeb worth their salt can recognize the kanji for "power," so it's "Power of God." And the phonetics are POO-NI-PO-RA[ポーニポラ].

Gagael[神の飢え] at last something resembling creative input! "Hunger of God," in which [飢え] is not just directly lifted from her existing Schrift. ([食いしんぼう]: "Glutton/Gourmand." Same root kanji though so they weren't thinking that hard.) And while the phonetics, GA-GA-E-RU[ガガエル] are yet more gibberish, they at least go back to the sort of appropriated hebrew -el[אֵל] meaning "of god" used in the names of the aforementioned biblical archangels.

[edit]: and since there's a new one to add to this list...

So, you've probably noticed these all just use the same kanji as the girls' actual Schrifts, so there's nothing terribly clever going on, which isn't too surprising but is kind of a shame no one took the opportunity to get creative with it. (Even the attacks names they peppered into the extended fight scene were a little too goofy and bland for my taste. I mean, come on, giving Lili attacks called Spork and Spife?? Really?)

Thunder[雷霆] and Thunder[雷霆]

Deadperson[死者] and Dead[死]

Power[力] and Power[力]

Glutton[食いしんぼう] and Hunger[飢え]

For comparison the side by side on Kubo's actual Vollstandig and associated Schrift were:

Prison[監獄] vs Righteouness[正義]

Fear[恐怖*] vs Be afraid(of)[怯え] (*technically As Nodt's Schrift was never written out, but that's the kanji he used talking about "Fear" all the time when using it so I consider it a safe assumption.)

Love[愛] vs Love[情愛] (I don't know how to clarify the distinction between these two words... the former is more broad? Like it can include a few extra examples the latter can't?)

Penetrate Everything[万物貫通] vs Judgement[裁き]

Lethal Dose[致死量] vs Tasting(for poison)[毒見]

Miracle[奇跡] vs Authority[権能]

Oh and also the names

Piskiel[ピスキエル]

Grimaniel[グリマニエル]

Tatarforas[タタルフォラス]

Gudoero[グドエロ]

Jilliel[ジリエル]

Hasshein[ハスハイン]

Aschetonig[アシュトニグ]

Are basically all gibberish too, so I can't exactly say the names don't fit a "pattern," since there isn't on, but they still don't feel quite right to me, save maybe Lili's. Hasshein and Aschetonig are at least clearly playing with German-esque phonetics*, and Piskiel, Grimaniel, and Jilliel are all playing into recognizable angelology cliches. (Gudoero/Gudoel might be too, but in a way that's hard to separate it from the clearl intentional "ero" wordplay. It just doesn't work outside of th eJapanese phonetics.) And Tartarforas is just suspiciously close to Tartarus but otherwise doesn't really register to my ear as any language that would make sense in the context of the Quincy's associations...

Wait... The German sounding ones might actually be German after all. Like, bad German, but technically German...

*Asche is a n fact German for "Ash," and Ton is "Clay," in fact Tonig can mean "Clayley" as in "Clay-like" so I guess Gerard's actually is German for "Clay-like Ash"... That's actually kind of cool, and vaguely biblical? Adam being sculpted from clay, and "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust" and all that? Huh... Weird I never bothered to actually check that I guess, I just assumed if most of them were nonsense that even the ones that sounded more legit would be too...

Wait... Damn... have I really been slacking this much???

The Haß sound in Hasshein could be the German for "Hate" and although it's not really a ""word"" in a functional sense by itself, hein is a part of the term Freund Hein is a kind of grim reaper where, I guess "Hein" was kind of an old euphemism for the devil for some reason? So, Death personified is the "Friend (of) Hein/TheDevil" but I'd bet the intended reading of Kubo's slapdash German here would be "Hate(s) Death" as is suitable to Askin's whole shtick of narrowly avoiding death.

I'm mad I never sat down and tried to hash those out sooner...

The aavn group has some really silly lore and I'd like to share one of my favorite parts of it so far

This is a letter from Matt to their now uncle placid. He decided to disown Placid as his Father because he dissed him and his interests. (To clarify it was a misunderstanding and a joke) And Miles (aka spife) suggested he could adopt Matt. So, Matt being, well- Matt. Agreed! So Miles adopted Matt and shortly after, Placid was sent this letter!

It was sooner showed to the whole group but i don't think that events included in the actual canon

Anyways this holds a special place in my heart and i love it sm🥺🥺🥺

my stupid friends were trying to help me come up with ship names for Spike/Faye and by help I mean hindering anyway here are their ideas:

Spife Fike Spifa Spfayke (I’d given up on them at this point) Fake/ Fayke (sounds cool as hell but reminds me too much of the Damned unrequited love tags) Sfpaiykee (wtf is this)

will update if they continue to be like this... which is inevitable

Explained Context to my spife and I'm putting the copy-paste under the cut if any1 wants

OK so the first scene isn't anyth in particular but CWL and Vwoop r both there with their tools and such (Vwoop's bow which is its signature weapon, CWL's sculk clearing hoe) and they're side by side hanging out I'm not gonna do the full recap but basically the ither day Finch/the sculk possessing xem had a Hard Conversation with the HOA And like Vwoop feels awful about Finch's possession for obvious reasons – xe was sacrificed to the sculk in part bc of em running eir mouth, and also xe is eir partner and ey brought xem to the surface and Society and such and like . Ey care abt and feel responsible for this guy obviously Meanwhile CWL never personally new Finch well – they had some interactions while xe was still unsculked but they were rocky at best – but aer primary relation to xem is that Finch is Vwoop's partner, and Vwoop cares extremely deeply about xem So ae know ae are supposed to care about Finch in kind as an extension of protecting+caring about Vwoop Finch is an ally, even if not someone Arron personally got along with, and Finch is relevant to people Graph is invested in And lately as the sculk has progressed Finch has been intermittently pleading for help when conscious Graphite is anxious and sad and nervous about this and Arron is crushingly guilty in a way that is not doing well at all with his general mounting frustrations ith himself and internalized ableism And ae're both kind of scared for Vwoop bc if the sculk finishes its work Vwoop might be in for it™ And that's the context in whivh this conversation happens Finch/the sculk is cryptic and such at the HOA and like . Hell world for everyone . Vwoop is distressed and confused and fucked up about how weird Finch is acting and this is digging up + pushing all of Arron's ongoing angsts and Graphite is hiding about it and Arron breaks down partway thru the conversation. Just collapses in despair sobbing and praying He's still to some extent participating in the conversation and at one point gets up to stand by Vwoop specifically both to be by eir side and to be able to put himself b/w em and Finch if it becomes necessary. But like There is this guilt so fundamental to HOA. Graphite isn't a person it's a shiny and mostly unhelpful support and Arron is someone who as we were just discussing ties love to trust to function very fundamentally and ae have been so fucking ineffectual Ae have absolutely helped Vwoop but ae cannot do anything about the source of distress and despair and danger to Vwoop that is sculked!Finch And ae know Vwoop cares about aem and is by aer side because they r indeed friends and comrades. That's not smth ae're insecure in. Get what I want 'cause I ask for it... But ae ARE insecure about that notion that ae can't help with probably the most direct and pressing problem for em, and frankly a lotnof the higher stakes problems that the HOA are dealing with. The world is still ending. The sculk is still spreading. Vwoop's friends are still hurt and ey're still being disrespected. And all Clockworklocusts can do is mald. All Clockworklocusts can do is fall to aer knees and weep. ...not because I'm really that deserving of it.

The thing is the CWL Primadonna Girl animatic is SO real in my mind.

Product of Minecraft date + side by side comparison that happened bc it was just next to the Polyhedron snapshot I took while playing Patho a while back

[adhdo5]

My spife’s and my Minecraft usernames have the same format and same number of characterz... this is completely accidental too I. It’s true love

[adhdo5]

I love. My spife

[adhdo5]

I am full of many emotions regarding many things but the current operative one is my love for my spife and maybe living has a meaning after all.wav

(incoming MAJOR /je) Macaron apologist? MACARON APOLOGIST???? My love, you veer close to dangerous waters of insult. The presumption that the existence of macarons requires *apology* is a significant one. Stating this as an insult grants it a false degree of power, and grants me a real degree of power which is entirely derived from rage. I have the ability to bake, you know, and I can and will use it for evil if necessary. Watch your fucking step. -R

My beloved spife is problematic: macaron apologist
