Hi, I had no business putting this much effort into this…but I love Kaede and honestly wanted a better closure moment for her and Kikyo. I am also sorry for my terrible handwriting and just writing in general.

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST ON OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA WITHOUT PERMISSION, THANKS.

Laito's Sensitivity

I think what really kills me about Laito's character is that you can tell that beneath it all, he's a sensitive guy. This is not to say he's a good guy. If we must weigh his soul against the feather of Ma'at, Sobek's eating him, okay? I cannot recommend a relationship with this man. But setting that aside, I believe that we see hints as to his character having a 'sensitive' nature throughout the series - that he's not just intelligent in a logical sense, but able to pick up on things, and lives in that awareness in a way which is probably hard to turn off. One of the first things we see him doing with Ayato as a kid is advising him that Cordelia is not interested in his castle. He's sort of laughing about it, but I think that this is because, even at this age, he knows it's kind of futile, and he has that water-like quality where he doesn't batter at a problem but goes at it more subtly. He doesn't yell at Ayato, he knows that wouldn't do anything and would lead to a confrontation that (especially at that age) he wouldn't want. He just wants to plant the seed - but why does he do this? I do think he wants to support Ayato in some small way against his own obsession with impressing her, because Ayato's energy might affect Laito's. We see him quick to console and protect Kanato, too, in ways he never talks about and never tries to take credit for. I have to believe this is because it's instinctual, part of his natural character. Kanato is sensitive, but he's not able to control himself well, and Laito is sensitive, too, so he sort of cares, and tries to regulate the both of them. Even when he's teasing Kanato about needing to (frankly) use sex to add some honey to the trap he's keeping Yui in, he's essentially helping him keep his prey (while simultaneously threatening to take it away.) What really kills me about this, though, is that he was probably trying to 'take care of' Cordelia in whatever way he could, too. He seems to have been keenly aware of how much she wanted Karlheinz and longed for him. One of the things that absolutely sucks about being 'the sensitive one' in a family system is that you are often relegated to be the caretaker of others' emotions - including parents. Look at how Laito relates to Yui. "I know what women want. You all want the same thing. You want me to take care of you, don't you?" Cordelia is the woman he compares every other woman to, and his relationship to her is the model for every other relationship he has with women. Cordelia didn't just corrupt the word 'love' for Laito. She corrupted the natural way he connects to others - through his sensitivity, and his desire to take care of them. Beyond showing him, (possibly in the most literal way,) that the way to 'take care of' her when she was lonely was through sex, she also belittled and degraded him constantly as soon as she was done using him or the second he asked for anything real in return, teaching him that any sort of deep relationship was just asking to get tossed away and hurt. I'm poly by nature, so I don't really understand the nature of the pain monogamous people feel when they see their partners cheating on them, so I'd love thoughts from monogamous people on ways that her doing that in front of him must have affected him. (Besides the obvious - using him as basically a fetish object while he was in prison so that she could feel her own power as she had sex with Richter, or literally telling him she was bored with him so she'd be using other men instead.) My stomach flips a little as I think about this, but one of the things I hate about the things survivors of sexual abuse have to deal with is that a lot of the time, people are completely overwhelmed by feelings when they just think about the notion of sexual abuse. And this stops them thinking about what it must really be like. What I keep concluding as I think about it is that Laito is an essentially sensitive-natured guy, but everything in his life twisted that into the uniquely painful sort of weapon he uses to control girls like Yui.

Can someone who is familiar with Merchandise help me figure out if this is a Towel or a blanket??

I bought this from the Rejet shop in Japan and I genuinely don't know if it's a towel or a blanket. I've been using it as a blanket but its so thin, both in material and its a rectangle instead of a square. So I wanna know if it's a towel. I saw one for Ayato that is called a bath towel, but I can't buy it because the Diabolik lovers X Aquamarine line is a bit old and I can only find pics. Any guesses or expertise. I'm American so I'm used to towels being thick and fluffy.

Got the Girrrrrrllllll, she Goin on the top shelf.

[higanbanahime]

My oc for Diabolik Lovers, based on how I was in high-school.

This character, while on the rules and regulations committee, is only doing so to get away with her own mischief. She does her job well enough that she gets away with other things that are definitely bending the rules to the point of almost breaking them. She is on the track team as well and prides herself in her leg strength. She deals in favors when it comes to overlooking trouble, but does have a vindictive side and won't hesitate to save her own skin if it comes down to it. In the top 10 of her grade and Rollerblades to and from school like a nerd.

She holds a Hate boner for all of the Vampire boys because unless they are all not at school, she has to constantly pink slip them for their uniform alterations. With the Sakamaki brothers, she does not care that their father is The prime minister, with the Mukami brothers she could care less if Kou is an idol. All she wants is one day a week, where they wear the damn uniform and don't cause trouble.

You would think that she would like Reiji because of how prim and proper he is but no. He scares her, she is terrified of him and actively avoids him.

She is not immune to the charms of a pretty face. She usually looks at the boys forehead to avoid getting flustered when she is scolding them.

She once stood toe to toe with Subaru because he punched a guy and the experience scared her so much that she spent the rest of the night trembling. Still pink slipped him the next day.

She shares a class with the triplets but they are on opposite sides of the classroom.

Her only positive experience is that she once tripped going down the stairs and Yuma caught her by the waist and helped her up. She decided not to pink slip him for a while.

She is by no means a main character. Just a tired member of the rules and regulations committee who wants peace and for Shuu to stop sleeping in the Music Room because Dammit the teachers keep telling her that he can't stay there, but she can't figure out how he unlocks the door when she has the key.

Finished this in appreciation for these two.

I miss you Akechi. More than you will ever know.

PERSONA 5 SPOILERS.

I finished the true end to Persona 5 and I am in a depression. How could they do this to me? How could they take my stupid emo Boi away from me, not once but twice. I loved him, I love him and he's gone. Even with that cutscene at the end. I didn't get to say goodbye. Fuck my heart, why God. If I knew my sassy convos with him where the last thing I would get to say. I would still have said them but my God I'm hurting.

[higanbanahime]

PERSONA 5 ROYAL SPOILERS

The funniest thing I think about when I think back to this game is that when Akechi betrayed me, I straight up bawled like a baby. I loved this twink, this detective prince. And I just watched him shoot me, with every intention to do so. I didn't want to believe it. And as soon as he appeared again and wanted to fight In Shido's palace, I cried more because I knew my Persona would woop his ass to next Thursday. But as soon as we entered Maruki's palace together, as soon as he was showing me his true self, I was happy. I was happy we were being honest with each other. It doesn't excuse what he did, I doesn't excuse anything. But even as an edge lord, I love this scrawny emo twink that makes Sasuke Uchiha look tame. Playing as Joker I genuinely wanted to kiss that boy.

Anyway, I fucking love teasing him like,

Akechi: Don't expect to get out of this.

Me: Akechi shut the fuck up, I'm trying to negotiate.

Or

Akechi:I could kill all of you.

Me: Sure Jan, let's pretend I don't have a beefy ass persona that counters everything you can throw at it save for Almighty. Anytime you wanna fight in Mementos again, just call you edge lord.

He's just so fun.

New coloring page finished.

So I don't know if anyone has done this but I wanted to go into depth about the flower symbology seen in the trailer for Silent Hill F. I noticed that many of the flowers that is infecting the girl are flowers with some interesting symbolism and history.

First there are the Chrysanthemums.

White chrysanthemums are used in Japanese funerals and symbolize Grief.

Yellow chrysanthemums are often associated with longing and slighted love. But in Japan they are the imperial families crest flower and are associated with Light and the sun.(I wonder how they will be used in the game.)

While red Chrysanthemums Symbolize love in Japanese culture.

Next we have the Tsubaki flowers

White Camellias are considered a symbol of purity like many white flowers but White is considered a grief color in Japan so they are also a common funeral flower, though they are also associated with waiting, while yellow Camellia(not pictured) are associated with longing . Red Camellia are now commonly associated with an honorable death, the reason being that Tsubaki flowers(the Japanese name) fall of the bush while still in full bloom, giving them an association with beheading.

Now we have the cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms, due to their signature pink color, Did and still do have a story that they become pink because of corpses buried under their branches. In modern times they are associated with new beginnings, while on Buddhist teachings, they also represent transcience and ephemerality of life due to their short blooming period.

Next I could also be seeing Japanese Ume flower.

These have been considered protective flowers that ward off evil. They are also the old flower that was primarily associated with spring and good fortune.

Next that we see in the trailer itself but not specifically on the girl is of course the Red spider lily or Higanbana.(My personal favorite flower.)

They have many names for this flower in Japan but Higanbana is the most well-known one. In Buddhist teachings, this flower is what grows on the other shore, the afterlife, and symbolize final partings, death, and lost memories as well. Their bulbs are extremely poisonous and in Japan they are grown around graves and fields to discourage vermin. Their counterpart, the White Spider lily, is given the name Manjushage, and said to grow in heaven.

These are just some of my thoughts and knowledge I wanted to share as an amateur flower symbology enthusiast.
