Fact #46

Many Yo-kai came from various design contests and other such things.

The first of these is where Dracunyan and So-Sorree originate from, with them being designed by Yuta Yamamoto and Sakigake Jikumaru respectively.

Horizontail and Sighborg Y come from another one of these contests, designed by Fuka Okawa and Souta Fukushima respectively.

Slippy and Bitter Batter were designed by students of Class 5-2 in Omuta Municipal Ginsui Elementary School. While not a contest, this was broadcasted on Japanese variety show program Kagaijugyō Yōkososenpai.

And finally, a cat Yo-kai with similar design aspects to Tomnyan in Bobnyan also originated from a design contest, though it's hard to know if the inspiration was intentional (I unfortunately can't find the name of the person who designed Bobnyan on the wiki, so if anyone has any idea, please let me know!).

Darius Prays Faithfully

Daniel 6:10-15 10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days. 11 Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. 12 And they went before the king,…

what darisu didn's know there was 5th book to azura the good witch and he loses it when he founds out about it

We were just discussing Darius being a Tsundere about Alador and the Azura books so that's if hecan admit to liking either one

Okay sorry, but may I share a hc based on your GG? (Does it anyway)

The only thing wrong with Quill is his name is way too cool for Belos to have chosen it.

Bet his name was like Alexander but he told Darius it was Quill and Darius didn't find out until after he died.

It's an angry moment but then it's bittersweet because Darius would've been like 'yeah no, I don't think I can be mad you do not look like an Alexander, and also you seemed to really like the name Quill.

But now I wanna know if this started as a character development moment for you or you were just messing with me and at some point decided Quill was a better name.'

(Darius has a pretty good idea which one it is. 2nd)

YES OH MY GOD.

Quill met Darius when he was 17 (and Darius was 14), so when Darisu asks for his name and he's just like 'I have the perfect opportunity to be the funniest person ever right now'

hc that nevan broke in conditioning not by punishment, but by darius shifting tactics and focusing on making nevan crave praise. while punishments suck, nevan used to not be as scared of it. so making him crave praise even while conscious is. effective.

also there’s a great moment where darisu shows him what he’s done by like saying “breathe.” as a command and when nevan inevitably does, a flow of euphoria and submission goes through him to his utter horror

OKAY OKAY BECAUSE I LOVEEE THIS

I am totally going to keep this in mind when I inevitably write Nevan’s conditioning and early captivity. This is so true for him and Darius.

Darius totally started with a very violent and angered approach, which Nevan did not take nicely too, adamant on fighting back and effectively pissing the vampire off. He would definitely have crumbled quickly though once Darius realized he needed to change up his approach…

Foaming at the mouth over your description of that specific moment as well. It will be written (someday) I can promise you that

The saga of IshiHime dressed as Shinigami starts lmao

When that weird Shinigami started trying to make a move on Ori, Uryuu immediately put himself between them. We stan a gentleman!

And he’s such a dork, sticking his tongue out to that guy and then getting all embarrassed when Ori thanked him

And Ori’s such a dork too!

(Love how Uryuu does believe she’s very smart)

And I also love how Ori was strong here too

And now, for one of the funniest scenes:

His glasses just broke lmao

Hey! Just saw a post saying that people who don't get why Ichigo became an English major in the human world instead of a captain in the SS never understood his motivation and wishes. Though to me that sounds like bs, I wanted to read your take of this.

Yeah, this definitely sounds like what a dude who wanted nothing more than to do Shakespeare studies would say and do.

Those English majors, you know? Always craving power to protect people! That’s definitely what being an English major is all about.

I talked about Ichigo’s progression of motivation years ago, and there are other even more nuanced analyses of it floating around. He never aspired to an ordinary life. It’s a bit like claiming Muhammad Ali really just wanted to stock shelves.

And if you assume that he did, then the entire Xcution arc makes no sense, because he had a normal life and he threw it away. So if Ichigo wanted nothing more than to be a normal boring-ass human who got an English degree, why did he go and try and get Fullbring powers? And why was his focus in doing that explicitly to get his Shinigami powers back? Ho hum, I wonder.

Hell, I have basically made this exact same post before. You know who knew that Ichigo was fucking miserable being a human?

Keigo knows it. Look at his face. Keigo knows all this stuff Ichigo is saying to himself is bullshit.

Chad knows it. He outright calls Ichigo’s bitch-ass out on it.

And Karin and Yuzu know it. They can instantly tell that Ichigo’s mood has changed after he realizes he can get his powers back. It makes them happy to see their brother behaving the way he “should” be.

Mind you, all four of these people—Keigo, Chad, Karin, and Yuzu—will fall under Tsukishima’s powers (along with Orihime, Tatsuki, and so on). Something only Byakuya will resist. So these people are not the ones closest to Ichigo. And they still know that he is unhappy and his behavior is not normal or true to him. So in other words, everybody knew that Ichigo wasn’t happy.

The whole entire point of the Xcution arc is that Ichigo is not happy being human, and that Ichigo does not want to be human. (And Orihime, among others, does absolutely nothing to diminish either fact!) And that is also substantiated throughout the Karakura, Soul Society, Arrancar, Hueco Mundo, Fake Karakura, and even Thousand-Year Blood War arcs too. Hell, it is a core plot point of Can’t Fear Your Own World to explain his complete absence, because he’s off being a Shinigami and saving his sisters from supernatural shit.

So. To answer the question… I’ve said it before:

(P.S. fuck you, “Ichigo is a human” crowd. Truly Ichigo my ass. Read the fucking text.)

And I’ll say it again: If someone read this manga and thinks Ichigo wanted to be a normal human then they are a brain-dead imbecile utterly lacking in reading comprehension and the ability to process meaning, be it symbolic or literal. In fact, I would go so far as to call them completely illiterate.

[dangerousbride]

For the people asking about Chad pairings, back in the day one of Chad ships was with Tatsuki and another one, a VERY cursed one, was Chad with Karin

I’m dying my brother and I always joked about Chad x Karin when we were kids... we thought we were the only ones lmfaoo!!

darisu-chanがあなたの投稿に返信しました: Akito and Yuki

I think, in some ways, it’s also because the rat is closest to god, and, in this way, we’re reminded Yuki’s still close to Akito

@darisu-chan Oh, yes! I absolutely agree with this as well! :D

I just want to tell you that I loved your translations, for the first one I read to the last one. And take it from a translator, you do translate well, incredible even! Thank you for your hard work! (Btw, I do wonder how many people Mamoru Miyano's voice has trapped into watching anime, because I sure as hell have watched anime just because he was in there)

Thanks, that means a lot coming from a fellow translator

(And probably a lot of people! He’s such an amazing voice actor and singer. I’ve become a big fan ever since I heard him sing for UtaPri, and I’ve watched shows like Bungou Stray Dogs and the new LOGH just for him.)

Your post about fetuses reminded me of the time one of my friends looked at another friend's sonogram, and said the baby looked like a duck, because her hands sorta looked like a beak, but that was when the baby was like 8 weeks old, lol. Now, I just think it might have been a coincidence, or maybe it was on purpose, but babies as symbols mean many things, a dead baby could be the loss of innocence, while a baby in general could mean hope, and I'm pretty sure that's what the Touken baby is.

Yep! I honestly have been predicting a scare for... months now. I still really do think Kaneki Pleasure is likely to be fine. It’s hope.

Also yeah. Fetuses look like alien fishes when they’re so young. I remember my cousin got her 16 week sonogram and was like SHE LOOKS LIKE A BABY NOW NOT A FISH and I died laughing.

darisu-chan replied to your post: Im real fucking tired of seeing this double...

It’s called misogyny, friend.

lmao i know. I just ..needed to bitch about it. Like idk care if hid/e loves kaneki, kaneki is love with touka and is married to her so what do i care if he loves him. But im so fucking tired of them glorying hi/des love as the epic beautiful thing when hes given up so much for kaneki to the points its not healthy(bless him for taking care of kaneki but live for yourself a bit child, you need to do shit for yourself to) I remember seeing people bitch about touka not going to kami so she could open up re: when she couldn't go to kami bc of the raid and bc she had to hide. Hi/de on the other hand joined the ccg just for kanekis sake. 

Like jfc all the tg characters are fucked up, hi/de included.
