[transpandaoctournament]

🌋Additional fun facts about Uendo Toneido!

In tha original Japanese version, it's a bit more obvious that tha alters are fictives of sorts. Kisegawa retains her name from tha rakugo story of 'Omitate', but Patches's original name was 'Ippachi' while Owen's original name was 'Sadakichi Isoda'. They're both rakugo characters that feature in a number of stories, Ippachi especially.

While Uendo's original stage name was 'Bifu Senputei', Uendo Toneido functions as a real Japanese name! (Ya can even see it a split second written on the fan they threw) Translating roughly to "Feather Performer", we believe.

A right cute detail is the fan symbol pepperin' their design is not only a mechanical fan, but one with specifically 4 blades.

Them gettin' drunk off of a sake bun is actually a rakugo reference! 'The scary manju bun' is a tale of a man claiming that his biggest fear, one that makes him pass out, are manju buns. When his friends prank him with a bunch of them, he eats them all and goes 'hmm... my biggest fear now is... a bottle of alcohol...' 'r somethin' like that!

Number of mats a rakugo artist sits on can be indicative of how popular/well liked they are! Can't get full details on this but it's 'parently a gag in rakugo shows/series that this can happen. So it's fair ta say that Uendo is fairly well liked as a performer ('n probably does give out autographs!)

Uendo calls Geiru "big sis" and Athena "sis" in the original Japanese

Uendo actually falls in line with a specific theme of Spirit of Justice, which I can only really describe as being themed ta spirit channelin'? Albhi and the dog being able to talk somehow, the magician twins pretending to be one person, Uendo and co. all seem to be sort of allusions to that element. In a sense they're kind of a parallel to Maya Fey, in fact they're actually the same age as her in canon, if ya look closely! It makes sense, if ya consider Maya and Mia are basically two characters in one. 'N with how many cocouncil characters allude ta Maya (if ya haven't played the Professor Layton one the gal in that is uh. The most blatant one, we'll say.), Uendo sorta... inadvertently confirms the whole dang series has been awfully plural for a long time? It's interestin'.

Can't remember anythin' else atm, but hope ya liked all that! - Helen

Mannnnnnn. I am absolutely loving all of this. ❤️ Thank you for stopping by with these fun facts!!

I haven't played the crossover game (I desperately wanna tho), but ... Yeah. I def see what you mean about things being System- coded.

These little facts just make everything so much better, though. And tbh I'm not surprised that the Uendo's headmates may be fictives - considering how large rakugo is as a piece of their shared life.

Idk it seems like they did a decent amount of research for rep that actually felt reasonable within the context of the AA universe. Especially with these added little facts. ❤️

Inauguración del #EspacioEscultórico ⚫️🌋

Hace 45 años, se inauguró esta obra monumental por motivo del 50 aniversario de la Autonomía de la Universidad Nacional 🏫

Su creación fue una iniciativa para promover el nuevo movimiento de arte público urbano🎭

Un proyecto diseñado en colectivo, pues como dijera Mathias Goeritz:

“En realidad lo hicimos los seis: con el wiski de Helen Escobedo, con la política de Federico Silva, con la maquetita de Hersúa, Sebastián y Manuel Felguérez. Entre mentadas de madre llegamos a un buen resultado de alguna manera... Y mira lo que hay. Nada más impresionante que el Pedregal, hicimos un marco alrededor. El Pedregal por sí mismo es suficiente”.

Esta escultura monumental geométrica circular de 120 m de diámetro, compuesta por 64 módulos, con un mar de lava en su interior; muestra una síntesis artística del Expresionismo Abstracto, Minimal y Land Art, donde su similitud con el centro ceremonial Cuicuilco es una fusión con el arte nacional actual y con el pasado, de la época precolombina ⏺🎶

Y que el pasado 13 de abril en Treviso, Italia; recibió el Premio Internacional 'Carlo Scarpa' de la Fundación Benetton Studi Ricerche, un reconocimiento que condecora los lugares significativos en “valores de la naturaleza, memoria e invención” ( https://bit.ly/4cTCaQc )

El Espacio Escultórico y Paseo de las Esculturas son áreas de amortiguamiento de la REPSA y sus horarios al público son:

Lun a Vie de 8 a 16 h.

Cerrado fines de semana, días festivos y vacaciones administrativas UNAM

Recuerda seguir las medidas de convivencia: https://bit.ly/45BvMs9

There has been a spike in seismic activity under Mount St. Helens.

There were around 400 earthquakes since mid-July, according the United States Geological Survey. But most were small and not of concern.

Mount St. Helens has had a slight uptick in earthquakes, have you noticed? Most are small (less than M1.0) & not felt at the surface. No cause for concern right now - no significant changes in ground deformation or gases. Volcano remains at normal (green) background levels. pic.twitter.com/Cvor7ow61X

— USGS Volcanoes🌋 (@USGSVolcanoes) October 30, 2023

According to seismologists, it’s because of magma flowing through cracks deep underground.

Scientists observed 40 to 50 earthquakes a week between August and September.

To compare, the mountain averaged around 11 quakes a month since it stopped erupting in 2008

🌋The most insane element about the “Riku is Gay” 6 hour video is that, 5 hours in, you pretty much get the picture, and then it throws you a curveball theory on Yozura that UNFORTUNATELY is possibly the most logical outcome when considerin’ a character with heterochromia, who’s mistaken for both Riku and Sora, in a series with time travel, when the phone game focused on Xehanort basically confirms Sora (or Riku) is a “destiny child” meant to share a heart

Considerin’ Kingdom Hearts is plurality alter central, that... sounds completely in line with Nomura’s track record with the series. Like. The man makes alters as plot points on the regular. Why wouldn’t Yozura (who now sounds like Sora now that we say his name) just LITERALLY be Sora and Riku fused together??

Literally heterochromia. Oh my god. That’s what WE did to indicate a plural character, yer joking

🌋When Tsutomu gets to have little moments like this, it’s cute! It’s fun

[transpanda-1]

🌋WAIT THEY FOUND MOST OF THAT SHITTYASS PHONE GAME THEY MADE FOR KINGDOM HEARTS IN 2005?

That's honestly so cool, not just for game preservation sake but also I wanna see how garbage this is ibuhsdkjfhs

[transpanda-1]

🌋happy birfday ta all a’ me! Here’s ta hopin’ for a better year than last, thank ya all for existing!!!

Ranma Saotome is so funny she's so incapable of emotionally hurting a woman on purpose

[transpanda-1]

You just know that if Uendo was a tiny bit more relevant to the overarching plot of AA that fanquill would immediately blow every other Blackquill ship out of the water in terms of popularity

🌋We cannot emphasize enough that the 6 hour kingdom hearts session on just reworking KH3 was the whole enchilada. The entire game top to damn bottom. Prologue to final boss. The most impressive part honestly is only a single disney world was swapped out LOL (Granted it was all in one shot suifdhshkjf)

If anyone is interested in hearin' our own take on how we'd have handled KH3, we'll do it, but lord knows it will be a HELL of a long post

[transpanda-1]

🌋 not to insult everyone’s work or nuthin, but uh… if you were makin’ a writing AI based off of people’s writing… why would you choose AO3 of all places?

[transpanda-1]

🌋We truly underestimated how many people want to smooch that fishman, oh my god. Again, like, that makes us feel happier about the character n all that. But dang!! Dang!!!! College transpanda your character is good and people love him!!
