Blog Intro (read carefully before scrolling or subbing)
中文请往下翻
Hi
I'm dedicating this blog to the tanakh and talmud fandom. If you're here for my works of other fandoms and want to see more of that please go to @shiurkomaalt, i will put my future works there. I like angst, messed up things and doing character designs. I also love to torture my OCs. I might open an OC blog in the future.
What i mainly like within tanakh/talmud:
- Yehonatan/David
- most of the Bereshit cast
- The story of the four who entered the pardes
- Elisha Ben-Avuyah's many shinanigans and his colleagues. I got hooked after reading "as a driven leaf" but i don't stick to that depiction with fanarts
I haven't posted any talmud fanarts yet, or enough tanakh fanart for that matter. There's very little content right now so I'm mainly planning the content for this blog here. I'm busy studying so i don't think these content will come out anytime soon either. I will not post very often in general.
I learn about tanakh and talmud for purely recreational purposes. I make a lot of headcanons, but i limit myself to only make them based on stuff that i already researched on and have a basic level of understanding about. If you are proficient in torah or talmud studies you are welcome educate me.
⚠️Before you start scrolling:
This is my hobby and non of my works pose as serious interpretations of the original literature, all interpretation or conspiracy theory belongs in the "headcanon" category. From now on i will only tag my work with tags such as "the bible fandom" instead of "the bible" or "tanakh".
Please note, I interpret these stories through an agnostic lens and i play around with the characters like I would characters of any other fandom. So if you are religious this is probably not for you. I like gore, i like to make headcanons and most importantly i like shipping characters together. Seriously, nothing is holy here, for the sake of your sanity think twice before you decide to scroll down or sub.
My content is not suited for anyone under the age of 18. Not only because of the topics i like to explore are grim, but also because there will be NSFW content at some point.
What you will probably see on this blog:
- exaggerated character designs of tanakhic/talmudic figures. Not as exaggerated as the fate series but it won't be very historically accurate either
- headcanons, conspiracy theories and personal depictions that are most likely gonna be very far from usual depictions and academic/ religious consensus
- shipping
- occasional silly doodles
- comics if i am extra energetic and free
- reposts of the same topic
What you will not see on this blog:
- serious claims about the original literature coming from me.
- Attack on any religion or faith. Additionally, any bias, if depicted, remains solely within the context of the story and do not extend to my personal belief or opinion irl. This includes but is not limited to sexism, xenophobia and homophobia that could exist within the historical and cultural context.
- anything political. This blog is strictly for recreational purposes only and will not concern itself with real life politics and events.
If you still decide to continue, it means you are fine with everything i said above. Enjoy 😊
博客介绍(继续翻或关注前请仔细阅读)
哈喽
这个博客用于上传塔纳赫和塔木德同人(希伯来神话)。如果你想看我其他饭圈的同人请移步@shiurkomaalt。我喜欢搞各种刀片和人设立绘。我还喜欢折磨我的oc。以后可能会另开一个oc博客。
塔纳赫/塔木德我主要喜欢的内容:
- 约拿单×大卫
- 绝大部分创世纪的角色
- 乐园f4
- 以理沙•本-阿布雅的各种衰事和他的同事们。小说《as a driven leaf》入的坑但我搞的同人私设和它有偏差
我还没发塔木德同人,塔纳赫其实也没发很多。现在内容还没多少,这里主要是计划计划我这个博客以后会有啥内容。我学业比较忙所以这些内容大概也不会很快出来。整体来讲我不会经常更新。
了解塔纳赫和塔木德纯粹是我的个人爱好。我搞很多私设,但我将这些私设限制在我已经了解过并有一定程度认知的东西上面。如果你有很多塔纳赫和塔木德相关知识的话欢迎指教我。
⚠️你开始往下翻之前:
这是我的爱好,我的任何作品都不是对原著的正经解读,所有的解读或阴谋论均属于私设的范畴。从现在起我打tag会限制在“fandom”里而不是直接打原著的tag。
请记住,我是带着不可知论者的滤镜去解读这些故事的,我对待这些角色的态度和我对待别的饭圈角色的态度无差。所以如果你信教的话,此博客的内容大概不适合你。我喜欢g向,搞私设以及最重要的:我爱搞cp和拉郎。认真的,我的魔爪能染指一切,为了你的san值着想往下翻或关注之前请务必三思。
我的创作内容不适合任何18岁以下的人。这不仅仅是因为我喜欢探索残酷/糟糕的主题,也因为以后某个时候我会开始发r18的内容。
你大概能在本博客看到的内容:
-夸张化的角色设计和人设,没fate系列那样夸张但不会特别还原历史
-偏离学术和宗教刻画的私设,阴谋论和魔改
-拉郎搞cp
-一丢丢弔图
-漫画,如果我图力和时间特别充沛的话
-相关内容的转发
你不会看到的内容:
-任何来自我的对于原著的正经向声明
-对于任何宗教信仰的偏见。任何被描写的偏见,如果有,只存在于其所在的故事情景下且并不延伸到现实中我的个人信仰和观点中。这包括但不限于相应历史和文化环境中可能存在的性别歧视、仇外心理和同性恋歧视
-键政。本博客供且仅供娱乐目的,与任何现实世界中的政治和时事都无关
如果你仍然要继续,说明我说的东西你都觉得ok。玩得开心😊
我不知道有多少中文用户关注我的内容,目前我的帖子都是英文。如果有人想要我加上中文的话评论或私信我都可以,这样我以后的内容就会加上翻译。

VERY LONG COMMENT!
Appreciation Comment + comment on the chapter ( basically me rambling for a very long time) ♡
The way I dropped everything I was doing the second, I saw the notification for House of Alpha chapter 14. (≧ヘ≦ )
I remember finding the series when there were only 3 chapters out, and I've never been more grateful to have found it! I absolutely adore the series (and all of your other work too! I found you through Bloody Summer on AO3~) (σ≧▽≦)σ
I love your ideas, your style of writing, the plot, the cringe, and 2nd hand embarrassment I get when reading. I adore you! Did I say how much I adore you? Well I absolutely adore you! ( ≧∀≦)ノ
ANYWAYS, enough rambling about how much I adore you and your work, LET'S TALK ABOUT CHPATER 14!!
When the explosion went off and I started freaking out along with Raven... I was about to fight whoever was going to hurt my babies (the alphas are everything but babies but they're my babies!) (ノ`Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
Then, when I read that Nanami was injured and was bleeding, I was about to throw hands at the monster! Luckily (but still unlucky), it was just the poison... I need Nanami to be healthy again!! =(っ*´□`)っ
And then Satoru.
I'm biased since Satoru is my favorite, BUT THE WAY, MY HEART BROKE WHEN HE THOUGHT WE HATED HIM!!! I was screaming and crying no and how much I loved him. I need to hug my baby and smother him in my love. 。・(つд`。)・。
AND THEN THE ENDING OF THE CHAPTER! Had me screaming from the kiss, and now I'm so excited for the next chapter! Time is moving too slow for me, I want to know what happens next, and I absolutely can't wait! (Take your time. This is just me being annoying–) 。。(〃_ _)σ∥
I seriously can't believe this story came to you in a dream. Why can't it happen to me too!? I seriously can't imagine it. If the story came to me in a dream, I would have been so upset when I woke up! Like, let me go back to dreaming where I can have hot guys in my personal space! (´□`; 三 ;´□`)
OK, LAST COMMENT I PROMISE!
This is actually my first time ever commenting despite reading and liking everything from you, so I'm just going to say, FROM NOW ON, I will leave a comment (on tumblr) on everything! If I don't, come and scold me because I need to smother you in affection for creating these masterpieces!! No, seriously, please remind me if I ever forget to smother you in affection because you absolutely deserve it! I'm counting on you to remind me if I forget to comment!
゚+.ヽ(≧▽≦)ノ.+゚
PS: Did I tell you how much I love you and your work?
PPS: You actually were one of the 2/3 writers who inspired me to start writing! Although it's still a work in progress because it's easier to imagine than write and because I'm procrastinating–
PPPS: I LOVE YOU FOR EXISTING AND CREATING THESE MASTERPIECES. I'M DETERMINED TO SMOTHER YOU IN AFFECTION!!!!
*Squeals and cry at the same time*
I like to type my response while reading a long comment but I’m already giggling and smiling like a damn idiot 🥹
I’m so glad you found me~ bloody summer was such a long time ago oh wow 😂. I have changed so much since my friend and I started that one. Sometimes I read it and hiss a bit, it is quite dark. I might rewrite it in my style? (Is that a writing style? I dunno I’m kind of new to this lol.) I was once a sadistic bean but I am now turned into a mushy chef 👩‍🍳(I swear I blame gege it’s his fault and I will raise my fist to the sky till the day I rest). Maybe I should change my name to chef’s kisses XD.
*giggles and kicks my feet some more* I swear i can’t stop smiling while reading this my cheeks hurt 😭.
Ooo~ just in case someone didn’t read chapter 14 yet I’ll put a spoiler warning hehe 🤭
⚠️House of alpha Chapter 14 Spoiler warning engage ⚠️
Yes 🥺, they are our psycho little pack but we must take care of them because they are silly and stupid at times.
I know our poor Nanami baby 😭🖤 (we are doing our best)
I’m bias about all the characters, my daddies can do nothing wrong XD. Gojo feeling sad because he’s feeling left out makes me do tha aaaahh~ poor bebe~
House of alpha is one of those stories where I’m writing a chapter and have to stop myself because I’m writing into the next chapter. I had planned to make chapter 14 longer but it was already peaking 4k and you know Gojo is going to want more from that kiss because he’s greedy 👀~. I also had fell asleep like right after I posted hahah. I was so mad when my work didn’t save I stayed up all night to finish it so don’t worry I’ll try to get that next chapter to you ASAP~ I do have two children that are not yet out the house (Looks at Desert Rose and House of Alpha stories) I must love them both equally so the next post will be for Desert Rose ~ don’t worry she’s almost old enough lol (not me treating my stories like kids XD) 🖤
Oh! Yes! I have very interesting dreams. I have so many ideas that I have to close off because I need to finish the stories I have lol. I like to focus on one or two stories at a time.
So~ I don’t think I can tell you how fucking hilarious it was when i ran away in my dream from the omega house. In my dream I actually was on the boat getting ready to sail. I was leaning on the side looking out at the beautiful ocean while taking a deep sigh. Like damn those were some hot ass alphas, I’ll never get that experience but oh well~ The captain sounded the bell for us to go but then stopped mid ring. that’s when two men stepped up beside me. Sukuna was snacking on fingers (he was a lot more gruesome in my dream. Like he actually killed miwa in my dream because he got pissy of the food she served him so I made sure to save her in the actual story and made that part part of the game story if that makes sense) while Toji just leaned on the side to admire the view with me. And Toji was like nice view Huh? And sukuna was like yeah imma stop you right here I don’t like boats get the fuck off And I looked at them like WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?! And toji was like oh we were just seeing where you were going but let’s stop it here prime omega. And the complete shock I felt when they told me they chose me sent me flying over board as I swam away and ran because I just can’t accept nice things XD. yeah hehe my dream was more of the smutty bits and plots lol I don’t want to spoil it 🤭.
But when I woke up I was left in awe. It was like i watched a really good movie but I can’t tell anyone to watch it because it doesn’t exist so I gotta retell the story like tenacious D singing their tribute to the greatest song in the world but it was the greatest reverse harem issekai in the world 🤣🖤. I was like the people must know of this story !
Omg! 😭 this comment was already worth a thousand comments hahah! And I love to spoil so please don’t feel obligated, it just makes me so happy to even read this 🖤. I waited till the morning to read it since I was super tired when I finished chapter 14 I wanted to make sure I could really indulge in your comment. I saw it before bed and couldn’t stop smiling because I wanted to read it this morning lol. I feel like I just drank a cup of coffee and I’m so excited to start my morning so thank you, this meant a lot to me. You could have literally put I love you and I would have been grinning all day 🖤🤭.
Oh! I love love love when others are inspired to write so please if you need help let me know! I write stories I want to read 😭😭😭! I have bookmarks of fanfics that haven’t been updated since last year, I am desperate for more fanfics haha!
Oh wow I typed so much I am so sorry sometimes when I get excited I can’t stop typing XD
P.S: I love YOU and will do my best to spoil you with more to eat. I love to feed and please👩‍🍳🖤

Mirai Yuhara and Heartslabyul
Mirai | Ramshackle | Heartslabyul | Savanaclaw | Octavinelle | Scarabia | Pomefiore | Ignihyde | Diasomnia | Staff |
c/w: none
------------------------
Ace Trappola
You couldn't tell if the two hated each other or liked each other
One moment they're at each other's throats, and the next moment, they're laying on each other, scrolling through Magicam
Most of their relationships consists of flipping each other off
or constantly jabbing at each other
Ace: "'Sup, Loser" Mirai: "Hey, Moron" Ace: "Bastard" Mirai: "Jerkface" *slappy fight noises can be heard and Riddle's scolding*
They once got in a fight that lasted about a week
The rest of the Freshmen were so annoyed their their moping that Deuce, Jack, Epel, Sebek, and Ortho locked them in a storage closet until the made up
And let's just say things were said, voices were raised, and tears were shed
Partners in crime Ψ( `∀)(∀´ )Ψ
Anything that goes wrong on campus can most likely be traced back to Mirai and Ace
The frogs had been let loose? It was Mirai and Ace. Someone TP'ed the Courtyard? It was Mirai and Ace. There was a brawl between the Freshamn class? It was Mirai and Ace.
Stupid late night convos that sometimes lead to arguments in the morning
Ace: "This you?" *sends a pic of some ugly fish* Mirai: "Nah, but this is you" *sends the ugly pic of Ace he secretly took* Ace: "DELETE THAT NOW!" Mirai: "No" The next day, fighting ensues
Ace Trappola - Dating Mirai Yuhara
Not much changes
Just like above, you can't tell if they're together or not
They're not too public about it
their pet names are any insult they can come up with atm
Although, if you are unlucky, you just might find them in some secluded part of the hall sucking face
They fight often
No it's not healthy, Trey has told them so, but they always bounce back
Their silliness is honestly how they show affection
Ace and Mirai at Basketball practice Ace: "This is for you, Mirai!" *Shoots the ball and proceeds to miss* Mirai: ......凸(`△´#)
Deuce Spade
Mirai is slow when it comes to his academics as well, so he can relate to Deuce with his academic struggles
they do their hw toghter, but it normally doesn't end well
most of the time they get help from Trey or something
if Deuce is fighting, so is Mirai (((ง’ω’)و三 ง’ω’)ڡ≡ ☆⌒ミ((x_x)
And sometimes, Mirai is his voice of reason
patches Deuce up if needed
Mirai: "Deuce, we talked about the fighting" Deuce: "I know." Mirai: "At least invite me next time, we can whop 'em together."
grocery shopping buddies because Deuce always gets the best deals
goes to Deuce's track meets to cheer him and Jack on
Mirai also brings snacks
Cheers Deuce up when he's down
especially when Ace is the cause
and Mirai has and will beat Ace for it
Cater Diamond
Has a mega crush on Cater
Likes to try out different trends with Cater
likes to let cater dress him up and give him makeovers for fun
Does best friend quizzes to see what they get
Cater: "It says we're hardly friends." Mirai: "Lies! What my favorite color?" Cater: "Blue" Mirai: "Food?" Cater: "Blueberries" Mirai: "Hobby?" Cater: "Gaming" Mirai: "See, you know me."
Likes accompanying Cater to cafes so he can have the little cakes
Cater is Mirai's most trusted Junior
Let's Cater confide in him with things he's insecure about
Cue the therapy session and the tears
but that's okay, whatever happens in that room, stays in that room
gossip sessions are a must! And there's lots of them
Sleepovers! o(≧▽≦)o
No matter if it's Ramshackle or Heartslabyul, they always have a blast
Cater teaches Mirai how to skateboard
It doesn't go well at first
Mirai likes to tell Cater about the Media back home
anything he can remember he tells
Mirai just loves how fascinated Cater gets when he does
And did I mention the crush?
Cater Diamond - Dating Mirai Yuhara
Mirai has a MAJOR crush on Cater
They are the couple everyone hates!
Because either you envy them
Or you're just plain disgusted at how sappy they are
*Cater running up to hold Mirai in his arms* Cater: "Hey, Baby" *kiss* "My, little muffin" *kiss* "My, Sugarplum" Mirai: "I missed you too, hun" *kiss* Cater: "What do you wanna do, Babydoll?" MIrai: I don't know, but there's this totally hot strawberry blonde that just mig-" Ace: "GET A ROOM!"
Pet names all the time, those are a must!
and so are kisses (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ ) ♡
and hugs and cuddles are a must too!
Always touching somehow ♡ (˘▽˘>ԅ( ˘⌣˘)
In class? Their ankles and intertwined. "At lunch? Their knees are touching. After school? They walk hand in hand.
They don't post much on Magicam, but when they do, Cater likes to keep his followers guessing
They do couples quizzes, do couples trends on Magicam, and wear couples outfits
Anything can be a date!
they move so flawlessly together, it was like it was meant to be!
Trey Clover
Mirai helps a lot with baking
Trey even started to give him pointers
Fingerprints left in the dough
Who knows where they came from? ┐('~`;)┌
Trey: "Prefect?" Mirai: "Yes, Trey?" Trey: "Why is there a fingerprint in my cookie dough?" Mirai: "I don't know" *slowly tries to escape* Trey: "Shall we compare prints then?" Mirai: (⊙_⊙) Trey: ▓▒░(°◡°)░▒▓
Unofficial official batter/dough taster
Trey doesn't mind
Mirai prefers Trey as a study partner
Hes the best at explaining things
and he's patient
and for every right answer, Trey gives Mirai a cookie
Riddle Rosehearts
Mirai finds the second year very pretty
but ofc he won't say it in front of the Heartslabyul Housewarden, lest he wants to lose his head
Again
*Mirai staring at Riddle* Riddle: "It's rude to stare, you know" Mirai: "Did you know you have pretty eyelashes?" Riddle: "I do not!" Mirai: "You do. All of you is pretty!" Riddle: ∑(O_O;) Mirai: (O u O) Riddle: "Off with your head!"
Tea time with Riddle
Mirai likes those moments, because Riddle is always his most relazed
He's more open and himself during those moments
Mirai loves the Unbirthday parties and is happy Riddle always extends an invite
Mirai likes to paint the roses red as well
But he always loses to Riddle at Croquet
But then again, it's not so bad, at least Riddle is happy
---------------------------------
This took way longer than expected, but it's done! You can see who my biases are *Cough* *Cough* Cater and Ace * Cough* *Cough* But I tried to give them all enough content
And as you can see, Mi-Mi is shipped with Ace and Cater. This will be a reoccurring theme with these. All of my faves will get a dating bracket with Mi-Mi!
Anyways, stay tuned for my next part, Savanaclaw!

Top 10 Vocaloid Songs for 2023
Hi, im Jakob Cobb and I enjoy a good vocaloid song.
Inspired by a certain someone posting about it monthly, I've decided to compile a top 10 list of my favorite vocaloid songs of the year. There is no rhyme or reason about them and it’s 100% just decided on the fact that I love the song for one reason or another
Without much else to say, I will say that this has been an awesome year of vocaloid music and I hope next year continues to be great.
Thanks for reading! Full playlist here, rankings under the cut:
HONORABLE MENTIONS: 花隈の歌は可愛いし小春六花はマジでうるさい - Gyari Honestly just makes the list purely on the fact it makes me happy that Gyari released two vocaloid songs in the year, which is something I thought they never might do again after they dedicated themselves to vtuber creation and management (?) かまぼこかまほろかまことか -  yuro mashima A song im very sad to cut out of the top ten, all due to the fact this song was released on December 30 last year. This song introduced me to yuro mashima, who has released some incredibly good songs in the year (i'm a big fan of the song about brushing your teeth) フランスパンのうた (cover) - world elec. Decided against the inclusion of this song on the top ten over the fact its A) A cover and B) Of an old song at that, regardless, it's really good to hear both OG Teto and New Teto together in a song and making both of them sound good, it also includes a MIDI kazoo solo 少女レイ (remix) - Haru-Ichiban The reason for not including this one in the top ten is due to it being a remix of an already popular vocaloid song, however I feel like it bears to mention how outstanding Haru-Ichiban’s remix is. This song just tickles my brain in the right way and uses the basis of the original to create its own feel サカサカバンバンバスピスピス - Yakomochi The first of three、 absolutely different songs that Yakomochi has become known for. I love the simple silliness this song has an continues to shine on the future works that Yakomochi has made since then 10. TEN: モミアゲヲシャカアゲヲ - Nu^16 Like one of the top comments of the video mentions (by the aptly named @mnmnmmnmmmmmm), the price Nu^16 pays for being a prodigious composer, lyricist and artist/painter is that they can only make joke-y silly songs, despite this and honestly adding to it, the fact that these songs are very funny but still legit good songs really makes it click for me 9. NINE: おどロボ - Umicha The fact that Umicha has only really made three songs in their career (the other two being also amazing), goes to show that some amazing producers have shown up in recent years and that they’ll hopefully continue to make amazing music for the years to come (and as will be shown later, Umicha isn't the only producer with three amazing songs under their belt as their first three) 8. EIGHT:
怪電話 - r-906 This song made me learn about ROSE and POPY, the bandori voice synths, and I think that alone should make this song rank highly. r-906 is a really good producer and they’ve been around for a bit but this song just hits an absolute home run for me with the way its paced and the phone samples 7. SEVEN: 機械少女と三十路OL - Ro2noki Can a song cement a ship in your brain? It can for me! Ro2noki’s awesome song rewired my brain in such a way that Rei and Teto are almost inseparable and are dating, it does help that both their twitter accounts have leaned into it heavily, along with the heaps and heaps of wonderful art of them together 6. SIX: オーバーライド - Yoshida Yasei This became a pretty popular niconico MAD song for some reason, but honestly I get it, everyone enjoys a high energy and tempo song with a really good looking but simple video. Something about this song just works for me wonderfully and it really makes the New Teto sound incredibly nice 5. FIVE:
太陽ポカポカで草 - namigroove Namigroove was a surprise to me this year, they made a bunch of really good songs and my favorite is the one song that sounds like a Vulfpeck song. They're also one of the realest producers out there, their taste in music is insane and so is their choice of voice synths 4. FOUR: 焦燥 - kinoue64 Sometimes certain songs awaken you to understanding that there is so many different things voice synths can do and this is for sure one of them. The Miku shoegaze song is a crazy good song and so is the rest of the album it comes from, if you have the chance do listen to it 3. THREE:
ホントノ - Haraguchi Sasuke It's rare that a commercial producer goes into vocaloid (at least in my experience, it's usually the reverse that happens), but Sasuke has not only knocked it out of the park with the three or so songs he’s made using vocaloid, it only looks like he’s getting started and I look forward to all new songs he’ll make 2. TWO:
ちっちゃな私 - Masarada New Teto release was bound to create new producers for her but no one could’ve anticipated that one would show up and deliver amazing and very distinct songs out of nowhere. Masarada is a producer that I believe will become a household name with some of the greatest vocaloid producers to ever do it if they manage to continue releasing the high quality and chock full of personality songs they’ve managed to release so far, with the song i'm choosing as my top two song of the year being my favorite of them 1. ONE:
KEEP YOUR HEADACHES - Ryo Iogi Teto Hyperpop!!! Not only did this song basically put me on to enjoying hyperpop more but also became one of my most listened to songs of the year period. I hope the Ryo Iogi will eventually make more hyperpop style songs using voice synths (although I will say their grungy Chis-A song is also awesome), because they clearly have a talent for making the style of music and how to blend it with the intricacies of working voice synths

🀄️ Holostars Golden Week Mahjong Cup!! 🀄️
date: May 2, 2024 18:00 JST on the official Holostars channel
hosts:
Yukoku Roberu & Utai Meika
participants:
Arurandeisu & Maitake
Kishido Temma & Marutake
Aragami Oga & Virtual Gorilla
Utsugi Uyu & Amaki Pururu
waiting room: 【役満なるか】国士無双大三元九連宝燈ってなんですか?ゲストと大盛り上がり!【#ホロスタGW麻雀杯】 link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1v-mVky_MY
just my thoughts. ignore everything under this line.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★
This is so cool! I've always wanted Temma and Marutake to collab again but I didn't think it would be this way. This is gonna be fun! Then there's Pizza Manager and his son, Arurandeisu and Maitake. Two teams formed from the latest VCR GTA event!
I bet Oga and Virtual Gorilla has collabed before but I just can't recall. Considering both has been vtubers for a while, I bet they have. Both vtubers are scary looking but silly guys that have the deepest voice among the participants!
Has Uyu and Pururu met before? gosh, I'm not sure but if they did I can imaging it being in a VCR stream. Uyu the gaslighter and Pururu with her endless energy. I want to see this duo!
And the hosts!! The two are known to be talkers and both have very infectious laughs!! The hosts alone is already a riot!!
youtube
I'm going to try and watch this though I don't know anything about mahjong. The only thing I know about it is that my mom and other relatives love to play this together when they meet up. lol
I was looking through the quote retweets of the official post and found that Arurandeisu, Temma and Uyu doesn't know how to play mahjong but will study it. Temma already streamed playing mahjong last night. Aruran will study with Maitake according to his quote retweet.
Oga on the other hand just said...
Tumblr media

translation: I'll do my best with Gorilla-Niki. By the way, the only rule I know about mahjong is that if you lose, you have to take off your clothes.

...I have sangcheng arranged marriage, but I don't know if you'd be interested. It's silly romatic comedy about JC oopsing into it and not realizing he's into NHS because he assumes he likes women (he doesen't). It's also canon divergence where YZY lived. (Also, I have tried to research 三书六礼 because I'm a nerd who loves history, but I assume that inevitably I will have made mistakes as I'm not chinese myself, so I also get someone not wanting to read because of that)
please show me! I do love arranged marriage and I'm very open to trying new ships! :D

2024/02/04 English
BGM: Susumu Hirasawa - Mermaid Song
As I have already written in this journal, eventually I have been writing my English memo for the next presentation I will do at the 15th of this month. It seems that I just need to write various facts for that, so I am trying to record them dutifully, not only the thoughts I have within this life. For example, although you may think this must not be funny/attractive, I record what books I have borrowed from the library, or what music I have been attracted by. I have even recorded diligently when I went to the bathroom at AEON.
Yes, today I went to the library to borrow some books. Although I planned to borrow two books including Yukio Mishima's "Spring Snow" (三島由紀夫『春の雪』), at there a librarian said to me that they had the book by Claude Simon's classical novel I had once reserved (クロード・シモン『農耕詩』.) So I borrowed all of them and went back to my group home. After having a nap, even though it was completely a free time for me so I could stay in my room comfortably with doing nothing, I couldn't stay still (maybe this has come from my autism) so went outside again.
At AEON, I had played a few silly ideas alone. For example, I had thought what ideas could the Paul and John had thought during their playing The Beatles' various bangers (could they think that during playing their evergreen love songs "Oh, he must have played a wrong tune!"). And also, I started reading an interesting book. During reading it, I thought about death which would someday come to me. Yes, the novel (保坂和志『もうひとつの季節』) certainly tells me how wonderful this world itself can be. TBH, once I had adored this author's great philosophical and imaginative mind.
When I was a heavy drinker, I had rarely read books. Although I had had a certain will to stop/quit drinking alcohol forever from that time/moment, I couldn't stop doing that silly habit/behavior. So now, although I always have to experience a trouble to endure boredom which seems me driving mad, I can enjoy reading with a stable mind - Probably the life has been made as a fair thing.

if you havent already can u tell stuff about your neo 3s 🥺🤲 i care them
YEAH!!
Both
outside of agent work, they have been part of a delinquent group for quite some time, ever since they were very little! they met through that group and stuck together ever since
the rest of the agents don’t recognize them when they’re dressed in their different clothing! (which looks similar to the deliquent amiibo clothing)
(i’m working on developing that silly little group….)
they found smallfry by picking him up outside of grizzco! they named him Kuz, because he’s like a silly baby cousin
before the NSS, neither knew how to read or write
they got lost in the desert looking for a deliquent friend of theirs who went missing! after some time they stumbled upon cuttlefish and the rest is history lol
i’ve said this like a billion times but Sicily/Cap = mommy?
(do i look l-)
their arms were tainted just from lots of accidents from agent work! it accumulated especially in space, when dodging fuzzballs was especially hard!!
they’re not sure if it’s gonna have any lasting negative effect on them, all that they’ve been able to figure out is that it stings when rinsed with water.
also, they purr and act mammal-like now. i can’t help it T_T
Trikaya
A FERAL CHILD! she’s literally on silly mode maximum ALL THE TIME. if she’s not something is DEATHLY wrong
she loves to put her hair up in pigtails, because she likes subverting expectations!
she’s average at everything! literally everything! it’s kind of astounding how much she can do at a normal level
smallfry’s primary caretaker! she loves to dress him up like a little dolly!
she’s very acrobatic, flexible and agile. she loves to do freaky tricks that give sicily secondhand bone hurting disease.
although she’s very strong willed, she’s still very sensitive…
very gullible, would probably believe you if you said chocolate milk comes from brown cows
literally left in a cardboard box all alone as a baby, wettest little squitten you’d ever see :(
Frye named her! the name means ‘three bodies’ in Sanskrit. before that, it was mostly ‘girl’ or ‘Agent 3’
Mitsuo
very quiet, but also very perceptive and detail oriented. he gets so lost in analyzing some things that sometimes he looks really mad lol
has a lot of anxiety regarding speaking, so he’s a selective mute! he’ll speak if he absolutely HAS to or if he’s really close to someone, but otherwise he speaks SSL (splatlands sign language), a mix of inkling and octoling SL
trikaya translates for him, and often understands what he needs with just a glance!
around strangers he has on a tough attitude, but around the NSS he’s very gentle and curious. he asks a lot of questions
he doesn’t have the most accurate aim as a charger main, but damn if he can’t apply pressure!
trikaya’s big bro!
his parents were octarian army refugees that sent him across the world to the splatlands as an infant to give him a better shot at life. he started off in a foster home but ran away due to mistreatment
sometimes he still wonders if they’re alive
Shiver named him! his name means ‘light/shine’ in japanese, but can also mean ‘third son’ and is sometimes spelt with 三(three).
HOPE YOU LIKE! AND SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG:)

Zuo Ran’s Love Theme
This is going to bother me until I get it off my chest, especially when I have negative expectations of this being conveyed in any of the localizations.
But Zuo Ran says a line during Chapter 1 of the main story that is crucial to his character and his relationship with the heroine. It’s also repeated in his Character PV and his drunk date.
SPOILERS for Chapter 1 of the main story and touches upon Zuo Ran’s character, and will show images from [SSR One Step Away] and [SSR Two Inseparable Hearts].
So, in Chapter 1, Zuo Ran asks Zhai Xing to help him find a partner and, after giving her all the things he’s looking for, this is her response:
Zhai Xing (Voice Message): Zuo Ran, wake up! A person capable of being your mirror can only be encountered and not sought for, alright?!
Hearing Zhai Xing’s “roar”, Zuo Ran furrowed his brows again and then sighed.
His sight swept across the reference book on the table again and his slender fingers slid over the spine of the book.
Zuo Ran: Can only be encountered… and not sought for…
The phrase both of them are using here is 可遇而不可求 and the literal translation is above.
To make it clearer, what this phrase means is that what belongs in your life will come to you and what doesn’t belong to your life should not be forced. A wondrous thing can only be waited for and if it belongs to you then, when the opportunity comes, you put in the effort and you will get it. However, if it doesn’t belong to you, then even if you force it and obtain it for a short while you will still ultimately lose it in the end.
There is a subtle nuance here that I have not seen any other translation capture. The thing you want is not rare, it’s not hard to come by, but it’s also not something that can be gotten so long as you put enough work into it. The whole meaning of the phrase 可遇而不可求 is that you cannot go looking for what you want, because you won’t be able to find it.
However, it’s also not saying you can just sit on your butt and wait for life to deliver what you want. Life only delivers you the encounter (or opporunity) and then it’s up to you to decide whether you want to put in the effort for it or miss out on it.
Now, how does this apply to Zuo Ran? It’s literally present in every interaction he has with his heroine. To him, his heroine is the encounter that life has given him, and if he blows his chance then he will never be able to get this opportunity again, no matter how hard he works.
And so, even when he’s sure about his feelings for her and wants to pursue her, he does it in such a tentative, careful, gentle, and considerate way. He’s not oblivious to his own emotions and, in fact, is quite obvious of them and even shows his possessiveness to other men.
However, he is terrified of pushing too hard and fast with his heroine and scaring her away (in addition to being clumsy with how to woo someone in general). This is also why he keeps using that hilarious Love Psychology book, because he wants to get all the steps right. There can be no room for error because, again, if he blows his chance then it’s gone forever.
Anyway, as I mentioned, you can see this tentativeness everywhere but I love how explicit it is in his card names and why I love these two cards. Let’s see if Themis keeps up with this theme, haha.
In December 2020, he got a card called 一步之遥 which literally translates to One Step Away.
Tumblr media
Then, in April 2021, for his birthday he got a card called 两心无间 which I call Two Inseparable Hearts but it’s literally No Distance Between Two Hearts.
Tumblr media
Is this not poetic beauty? I’ve seen hilarious comments about how, in keeping to this number theme because the Chinese titles start with numbers, the next one should be 三年抱俩 (two babies within three years) and then 四世同堂 (four generations in one family) HAHA.
Returning to the topic, I wouldn’t say that Zuo Ran is shy, oblivious, or hesitant to show his emotions; he’s really just being extra-cautious, extra-considerate, and taking the utmost care because of the belief that his heroine is someone he fatefully encountered in his life, but if he messes this up then he’ll lose his chance forever.
(Silly man doesn’t realize that, among all the guys, he’s actually the one who constantly gets the red thread of fate theme. The universe drew them together in the past, before they even knew each other, and continues to draw them together in the present, and now the heroine just has to step forward and take his hand.)

Hi. I have reading tgcf posts and really love them. I am quite new to chinese books, and have enjoyed mxtxs work quite a lot. Chinese culture and history has been pretty unknown to me up to this point, but I have been researching and finding out more about it, mainly the history, and the mythology but also the culture, both historical and current modern. Its just so unique and...different and distinctive. Hence why reading your posts have so fun for me: translations can only deliver the text to a certain extent, but its a different experience to get the little bits and pieces that get lost in the process, especially from a person who gets them and history and the context behind them. I had a question: I am currently interested in the chinese festival and celebrations. They are a lot of them and I have read on how they were historically celebrated, but I was wondering how are they currently celebrated in modern Chinese families. Which ones are the main ones? Are there parades and festivities for each or most of them more family affairs? Do you decorates your houses for them (ex. Like christmas decor) and make special foods? Do you feel like those celebrations have decreased and become more sedate over the year? If yes, why do you so? I would honestly appreciate it sooo much. Thank you 😊
Hi! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! And I’m always happy to see people becoming more interested in Chinese culture through reading mxtx or other danmei novels. Let’s start with the Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, because it’s the most important one and also my fav.
Chinese New Year is all about family reunions. The celebrations last around seven days and you get together with your extended family and close friends during this time. Being surrounded by family is always important for Chinese people but especially important during Chinese New Year, hence the phenomenon in China called 春运 (the Spring Festival travel rush). Millions of people would travel across the country from the cities where they work to their hometown in the countryside to see their family, and trains would be absolutely packed during this period.
The most important night over the whole period of celebration is New Year’s Eve (大年三十) where you have the most important meal (年夜饭) with your extended family. It’s usually a pretty fun and very loud occasion because the entire extended family would be present, and the only thing not so fun is that as kids, my cousins and I would be asked to stand up in front of the whole table and give a toast to our grandparents and aunts and uncles. It’s a gesture of respect to the elders and it can be quite stressful because they’d expect you to say something nice and clever, and it made me feel like a circus monkey. And if we’re eating at a restaurant, a major entertainment would be watching my parents fighting with my cousin’s parents and my other cousin’s parents to pay for the meal. It usually begins like this: “let us pay” “don’t be silly, we’ll pay” “come on stop it, we’ll pay this time” “this place is close to our house so let us pay”…and it goes on and on and gets increasingly more dramatic.
I don’t remember there being any special dishes for the Chinese New Year (it might differ from region to region), but there’d usually be a lot of meat dishes. As for decorations, people would usually put up 春联 at the entrance to their home, 春联 is two strips of red paper with a couplet written on them that’s usually some sort of blessing or good wish for the new year. The decorations for the Chinese New Year are usually bright red because it’s an auspicious colour full of hope and vitality. I remember my family hanging big Chinese knots at home during the new year. Chinese knots would look like this:
Tumblr media
The Lantern festival follows right on the heels of the Chinese New Year and it’s more of an occasion to go out and watch the lantern shows, also people always eat tangyuan on this day.
Another important festival is the Qingming festival, or the Tomb Sweeping Day, which is a day to visit the ancestral graves and honour the dead. It’s also a popular day to have a spring trip to the countryside because it’s the time of year when the weather’s getting sunny and warm. During Qingming Festival, in the neighborhoods where I grew up, I’d see people drawing white circles along the roads with chalk and burning joss papers in those circles (people who read MDZS would know about this). I think the white circle is to keep other wandering ghosts out so they won’t snatch away the offerings you made to your ancestors, but there should be an opening in the circle to let the ghosts of your ancestors in (I’m no expert on this at all so my explanations might be inaccurate). There’s an origin story of Qingming festival that’s very interesting but also tragic, you can read it here (I remember telling the story to @lucysarah-c and she said that the emperor in the story is the first yandere XD)
The Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival are also both very important ancient festivals with a lot of cultural significance, but for me they’re just like…days where I can eat certain kinds of food. At the Dragon Boat Festival we eat zongzi, which is a steamed rice dish wrapped in bamboo leaves. The rice cooked in this way would have the taste of the fresh fragrance of bamboo leaves so it’s very nice :3
At Mid-Autumn Festival it’s customary to watch the full moon on that day and eat mooncakes. In the Chinese language, roundness and fullness (of the moon) = completeness = the entire family being together, so it’s also a day of family reunion (I hope this explanation makes sense).
To answer your final question, no I don’t think those celebrations have decreased or become more sedated. Traditions are very important for Chinese people; we’re a people that like to look on the past and historically tend to assume that the past is always better than the present. Granted that the trend during the 20th century was to condemn and overthrow the ancient traditions because 20th century China was impoverished and war-torn and left far behind by the Western nations, and the old, stale, and outdated traditions were heavily blamed for impeding China’s progress. If you read the prominent 20th century Chinese authors, a lot of their works would have some variation of the message that “the past must die so China can be reborn.” It’s a message I was very familiar with growing up, and I was always aware of this strand of hostility and wariness towards traditional values in contemporary Chinese thought. But I feel like in recent years, increasingly people are looking at old traditions in more appreciative ways and getting rid of the critical attitude towards traditions prevalent in the previous century. So I don’t see the importance of those traditional festivals decreasing.
