Add realism to your fantasy stories by having characters from different backgrounds struggle to pronounce each others' names.

"My name is [low guttural sound] but I don't want to hear you butcher it. So you may call me She Who Arises With The Cold Mountain Sun."

"...Is that what your name really means? All that in just one word?"

"Yes. If you stress the wrong syllable it comes out as 'She Who Coldly Wakes Up The Mountain Sun', or 'The Cold Woman Who Wakes The Mountain Sun', and you will not call me that."

"Oh, huh. Could we just call you Mountain Sun, for short?"

"Hmh. It's boastful, almost bordering on blasphemy, but it is flattering. I accept it."

I don't know which of you needs to hear this but "narc" is not short for "narcissist" when someone calls you a "narc" for snitching they are calling you a "narcotics officer"

its crazy that a lot of what we call 'video essays' these days are basically low budget documentaries on increasingly weird and niche topics. no network approval no tv budget just one guy with maybe a hired editor/writer and a couple of friends willing to read voice lines. and then they put it on youtube like its no big deal. insane.

Crazy how bullying is not really acknowledged as a real trauma like you really have to endure years and years of lord of the flies and then just move on like it never happened

Listen when I saw how long your reply was I had like this moment of "holy shit did I really miss that much???" lmao

It didn't even occur to me, but it should have since both Yoshimoto and Nobunaga ARE known for having people-fans.

This is part of my slow and steady convincing of myself to write Yoshimoto/Nobunaga because the further I get into Yoshimoto's route the more perfect a ship it seems

I'm trying to remember, other than Yoshimoto and sometimes Nobunaga, are there any other ikesen characters depicted with or written as having fans semi-regularly? Like not just in the "everyone gets a fan" artwork?

[mneiai]

Omg I'm dying. I got so focused on something I forgot some words have more than one meaning.

[mneiai]

Omg lmao

No, no like...the object. That they hold? Like Yoshimoto's main weapon and Nobunaga often being depicted with one because he's famous for that dance.

It was cocky and overconfident to call the Titanic "unsinkable" but one thing that's overlooked is that she was genuinely really, unusually solid. She could float even with 4 compartments fully flooded, which even a lot of modern day ships can't do.

And it's not like they were wrong about her being solid! Olympic, her identical sister ship, survived being torpedoed and then running over the U-Boat that fired that torpedo. Those ships were solid.

It's very clear that absolutely no other ship in 1912 would have been able to survive that collision, and it's a testament to the quality of the ship that she didn't sink in a few minutes Empress of Ireland style. Part of what makes the Titanic such a tragic story is that it isn't a group of rich idiots locking themselves in a shoddy iron barrel to go 4km underwater. It was 2200 people, most of whom were poor immigrants, on a reliable ship on a commonly-made journey, and then something went horribly, unpredictably wrong.

i think this is a new expression for ranmaru

Like enough to have some association with fans, doesn't have to be in the routes or stories.
