“My skin is not my own” 

[ghoulsbian]

introduction post!! ♥️💫

my name is valentine, i am twenty-one years old. the purpose of this blog is to air out my tokyo-ghoul-centric thoughts. i have been apart of the tokyo ghoul fandom for almost ten years! i had some presence on the wattpad and instagram branches of the fandom back in the day, but those days are long behind me now. i have interests in other animes & mangas, but most likely will not be posting about them here. feel free to ask me about them, though!!

i live in the united states northeast, but i have internet friendships with people all over the world!! some longer than others, but all very valuable to me. any friendships i make here on tumblr will be of great value too!! i'm hoping to meet and befriend lots of other tokyo ghoul fans here! i would prefer than any friends i make on here be eighteen and older, please!!

i have several tokyo ghoul ocs, who i plan to share here when i feel less shy about them ><!! some of them are connected to preexisting canon characters, and some are not! i hope that you all will be excited for them either way!! there are also some tokyo ghoul characters i am particularly fond of, including:

• kishou arima (my most favorite character ever!)

• tatara (my second most favorite character ever!)

• rize kamishiro

• haise sasaki

• the entire quinx squad (old gen & new gen!)

• karren von rosewald

• shuu tsukiyama

• matsumae

• take hirako

• nutcracker

i am very fond of everyone else too, but to a lesser extent. i also have fondness that fluctuates in intensity for different characters at different times. i'm more than happy to talk about pretty much anyone in the series!! all tg characters have each taken up some space in my brain at some point in time.

i am the coiner of rizemayu (rize x nutcracker) and i encourage you all to join me in shipping it!!

thanks for reading ♥️💫

TG Sexywoman Poll - Round 1: Matsumae VS Nico

Matsumae is a servant of the Tsukiyama family, their butler and general manager of the Tsukiyama group, and Nico is member of the Clowns, as well as a healer.

If I see any transphobic remark, Nico will be declared winner of the entire competition, thank you.

While travelling through Hokkaido, I also visited Matsumae, a town at the southern tip of Hokkaido.

It's such a beautiful town! The way from Hakodate is long (2-3 hours, depending on connection), but so worth is! Highly recommend and it became one of my favourite places in my whole 3,5weeks travel of Hokkaido and Tohoku.

I shall post pictures of the castle and town, but I think the pamphlet of Matsumae-han deserved an extra post, so here we are.

They have an English pamphlet and I appreciate the effort. I think two people were working on the English texts, however... one was proper English while the other was... Well, they tried. It's the start of my new tag "funny English" lol.

(If the pictures are blurry, it's because I was laughing.)

Number 1

"sword injuries or tattoos". Not sure if a comma is missing, but I guess that makes no difference anyway eh.

Number 2

"I am selling!"

Number 3

Oh, Aomori of young people, what time it was. A lot of catch! Big pot ist a pot of order to... Wait, what? Okay, you got lots of herring, I get it.

Number 4

Please save in two thereafter refrigerator. It's for to tasting!

Number 5

I hope yer room is entertained enough.

Number 6

I wonder what a land boatman are doing nowadays. At least we eat rice while sitting now.

Number 7

... I just... don't know where to start.

Number 8

Up to the upstairs we go!

Matsumae

Matsumae est une ancienne ville fortifiée juste à l'ouest du cap Shirakami, le point le plus au sud d'Hokkaido. #japon #voyage #tourisme #culture #evasion #hokkaido #matsumae #aomori #hakodate

Matsumae est une ancienne ville fortifiée juste à l'ouest du cap Shirakami, le point le plus au sud d'Hokkaido. À seulement 20 kilomètres à travers le détroit de Tsugaru depuis Aomori, Matsumae était la limite nord du Japon pendant la période Edo et le seul fief féodal sur la frontière autrement sauvage et indomptée d'Hokkaido. La ville prospère attirait les marchands engagés dans le commerce…

look what i did to my homescreen a few days ago

[ghoulsbian]

currently swooning thinking of toned matsumae...

[lurkerwithcomputer]

Scene idea: Ryouko, Hinami, Matsumae, Hsiao and Mayu commiserating about how hard it is to find bras that don't get shredded because the back-strap is right where Koukaku kagunes emerge from, and sharing tips on where to find bras that do work for them.

While I read that the next episode next week will be a special compilation, a recap, of all the things that happened (from episodes 1 to 13) complete with behind the scenes and the audio commentaries of the voice actors of Yukiya (Matsumi Tamura), Asebi (Rina Honnizumi) and Hamayu (Hiroki Nanami), I came across an article from NHK that came out early this month, an interview of Miyu Irino (Wakamiya/Nazukihiko) and Eiji Takeuchi (Sumio).

The recap, some people hate it bc it is a filler, I think, is necessary as it signals that we are probably going to move on to another arc. It means they will also possibly animate the other key points of the other volumes in the novel series.

These are only excerpts. (Like always, a very rough translation.)

What kind of person was played for each role?

Irino Miyu (hereinafter referred to as Irino): Wakamiya is a mysterious man. I look beautiful and am smart, and I don't have any favourites. But I am also called "utsuke" (a fool) by the people around me. Wakamiya is a man who calculates that much that he's showing that he's a good person, or that, he thinks he can be.

Eiji Takeuchi (hereinafter referred to as Takeuchi): Sumio is a person that takes on the role of a "worker," who safeguards Wakamiya alone.

Irino: He’s the perfect person and a perfect escort for Wakamiya, so at first, it runs flawlessly with only these two people.

Takeuchi: Moreover, there is an underlying reason there is only one escort.

Irino: The only reliable person for Wakamiya is Sumio at the beginning, so when Yukiya comes in as Wakamiya’s new servant, a change in the dynamic is born.

How did Yukiya, who is both noisy and loving, capture the changes caused by his entry between these two?

Irino: I feel that Yukiya is the best partner for Wakamiya. Especially as the story progresses, Yukiya brings out the good in Wakamiya, and Wakamiya brings out the good points and potential parts of Yukiya. In the case of Wakamiya, it is while driving Yukiya into a rough pinch (laughs). I felt that it was interesting to play the way the good points were brought out by the synergistic effect.

Takeuchi: From Sumio's point of view, I think he was very happy that Yukiya came. I think there was only one escort for Wakamiya, or rather, only one person could be placed. Meanwhile, Wakamiya recognises and trusts Yukiya's ability so much that he wants to install him as his kinju. On the other hand, I think Sumio was just happy, and considering that Yukiya is there too, Wakamiya doesn’t need to be the only one with Sumio, who is fine that Yukiya comes along too. Of course, he should be there as support for Yukiya.

Irino: Wakamiya and Sumio are the types who keep their thoughts to themselves with a reason, but Yukiya is the type who drives by his emotions.

Takeuchi: That's right, his position and personality are different from the two of us.

Irino: I'm excited to see the three of us becoming a team by making up for each other. I want you to look forward to this dynamic because it will also be an element that moves the story.

…

Irino: As the story progresses, all the characters will change more and more from the first impression. That's one of the charms of this story. Each relationship will change greatly, so I want you to look forward to that change. " This character was actually like this!?" It's full of it.

…

Takeuchi: From Sumio’s point of view, Wakamiya seems to be quite changing.

Irino: Really? Is that so? (lol)

Takeuchi: Especially when I see you interact with Yukiya. In the beginning, Wakamiya was only saying the facts, so if you say, ‘I won't change….’ Sumio is not the type to put out his thoughts, so I don't think you can feel much change, but please look forward to what will happen there on.

Today there are a couple of events before the 13th episode screening where the VAs of Yukiya, Matsuma Tamura, and Asebi are radio guests and Hamayu’s VA, Nanami, as a guest of Yuki Kaji for a radio play.

And yesterday they unveiled the first batch of merchandise!! Yayyayyyay!
