[los-ninos-tortugas]

So I’m still not all that far into Samurai Chronicles (not gonna lie, Yuichi kinda gives me second hand embarrassment, maybe that gets better later though, I’ll have to see, I’ll get through the show eventually) but even with what little I’ve seen and looking at how Yuichi is characterized in this show, looking at how I wrote it in “Nobody Invited You” I think I made the characterization a lot closer to Miyamoto Usagi by accident, which is kind of incredible since when I wrote the first chapter I hadn’t seen 03 TMNT yet and also didn’t really fully know the lore/differences between Yuichi and Miyamoto. So there’s a decent chance that I’ll probably change the character tags on NIY to say Miyamoto Usagi rather than Yuichi Usagi. Good thing I kinda avoided the whole name change dilemma and saved myself some editing in the first chapter by only referring to him as “Usagi” throughout (I hope, I might be remembering wrong)

NIY!Leo absolutely holds the Mad Dogz burning his house down over their heads the exact same way canon Leo holds being thrown off a roof over Draxum’s head. Their first few interactions basically boil down to:

Mad Dogz: Bruh please just give us a chance we swear you’ll like us once you get to know us 🥹

Leo : …..

Leo: You. Burned. My. House. Down.

AYO do you have any links to the subtle prosekai merch? This is the first time I've heard of it and I really want to see the rest of the set.

Hi Anon! There aren't really links, but the merch was announced in the recent announcement stream on youtube! Around the 59:37 mark. I'm not sure when they will become available.

But if you don't want to go through the video, here are the product samples they shared for the other groups:

Top to bottom, Leo/need shirt, MMJ baseball cap, VBS T- shirt, and Virtual Singer and Niigo hoodies. Like I said in my post regarding the WxS shirt, these are *far* more subtle. The VBS shirt is the only thing that comes close but I'm pretty sure most people would look at it and think its a generic street graffiti T-shirt.

No. No inspirations came. I can't even focus on my tasks properly, and having no inspiration is certainly not helping at all. Darn u fictional characters who just ruin lives. Ya'll irritating me 😡💙

[xienst]

called out by HiMERU

ranting here because im mad again at HiMERU :>

as I was clearing the tour live on my KnightsP account,, my friend contacted me saying she got HiMERU in the featured scout (note that this is her FIFTH 5* in like three? days she is incredibly lucky ahhh),,, in fact, she started playing on the same day I made my HiMERU account;;;;

so I asked her how many pulls it took for her to get HiMERU. the answer? THIRTY.

thinking this was a good time to pull I switched accounts to go to my new HiMERU-dedicated account to pull, 30 times as well! obv the result was i got nothing (except a 5* Hokuto, which came at the wrong time because i only wanted him a month ago)

SO ANYWAY. IM LEFT WITH ALMOST NO PULLS and have no way of grinding back up again unless i create a... fourth account? hahaaha.. i hate gambling and will probably only do this for two characters: izumi and himeru

but i guess it's more the frustration of putting in more hours of grinding and seeing no results compared to others.

I am no longer rational.

in order to manifest (lol) i went to spam crazy roulette (because i like HiMERU's solos in that),, only to feel called out by the lyrics (yknow how it's about gambling and all that..)

HiMERU says that attempting to pull for him will result in great pain, especially if u are not a lucky person like me.

but HiMERU says u should continue anyway.

so I will.

Fun facts abt residents according to Ikevamp Radio (ヴァンなま) Part 2

Continuing with the Ikevamp radio findings (& some stuff w/the VAs) I have episodes 4-7 this time!!! (also pls take this with a grain of salt bc idk how much of this is canon according to Cybird)

Episode 4: It’s just Vincent and Sebas’s VAs!!

Morishi emphasizes that he’s a special guest, not a permanent part of the show, Makki says that there should prob be only one MC. They settle on Morishi being a guest-regular

ANYWAYS ONTO THE BATH SEGMENT

Vincent’s learning to sing the song Sebas taught Leo in episode 1 & 3 (for anyone curious, the original song is called Ii yu dana [いい湯だな] by the Drifters [ザドリフターズ] and it was a song the group sung at the end of their TV show/stage from the 70s–late 90s. Sebas knowing that song would mean he was alive during this time period)

Sebas hears him hum, Vincent is embarrassed, telling him to forget he ever saw him singing

During the day, Vincent saw Sebas cutting and sorting the gardens, to which Sebas references Nippon Mukashi Banashi (Folktales of Japan) where so many Japanese folktales start with a character cutting grass/weeds

Vincent recalls that Theo called MC “hondje” and “dog”, worries that she might be offended at those names

Sebas reassures him that MC has a strong spirit, and shouldn’t worry abt her much

Sebas comments that while Vincent and Theo are siblings, they have completely different personalities

Vincent answers that many people have stated this, wonders what he has to do to make others believe that they are brothers

Sebas has Vincent do impressions of Theo, starting w/Vincent calling Sebas “hondje” but Vincent just calls him “wanchan” (doggy/puppy) instead

Sebas makes a weird/loud noise, saying that that’s just an angel playing with a puppy (the part where Sebas loses his sanity. Actually he’s losing more of it as the episodes continue)

Vincent relents, quietly mumbling “hey, hondje” to Sebas

Sebas says he’s so close, just needs to be a bit more intimidating

Vincent repeats “hey, hondje” with more determination, Sebas replies “I have received Master Vincent’s ‘hey hondje!!!!’” (Sebas is crazy I swear)

Sebas pressures Vincent to say “I will make you my dog,” like Theo, to which Vincent questions if Theo has ever said that

Sebas quickly answers yes, forcing Vincent to say the phrase but worded more respectfully “I will make you my dog, okay?” (peer pressure is never okay, ESPECIALLY concerning Vincent)

Sebas is satisfied with the result, saying that the two brothers are really related

(I LEGIT DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WITH THIS EPISODE)

Sebas confesses that he just wants to see Vincent as a sadist and Vincent just sweat-drops

In this episode’s “Can you tell me… your name?” segment… (aka my fav part of the livestream—lol it’s not even the skit in the thermae) 

Sebas’s chosen line was “I’ve boiled the pumpkin” (this was done during Halloween, that’s what’s with the pumpkin). There were a lot of food-related names, so Sebas would say “Cucumber, I’ve boiled the pumpkin” or “Miso soup, I’ve boiled the pumpkin” and many others (mushroom, pig, tomato, sweet potato, radish, shiitake, hanpen)

There was also one in which Morishi said “Aramaki, I’ve boiled the pumpkin” to which Makki replied “thank you,” and another with “Vincent, I’ve boiled the pumpkin”

Episode 5: feat. Theo’s VA Sato Hisanori & Earl Rose (ローズ伯爵)

First episode where there is video in the livestream (it was previously just audio)

(I love watching VAs play their roles so this episode is prob one of my favs)

Sato realizes what kind of crazy show this is when he has to say “konvampire” instead of “konbanwa” (good evening) as a greeting. I feel like every guest other than Tsuda has said this (at least implied) but Sato just straight up says this

Sato calls Makki “nii-san” (big brother) when they first greet each other, referencing their roles as Vincent and Theo (also, fun fact, the two VAs are born in the same month of the same year)

Sato asks the viewers who they like the most out of Vincent, Theo, and Sebas. The viewers overwhelm them with calls of “Vincent!!!”

Sato asks for them to stop, changing questions, asking the viewers who wears the best clothes out of three (Makki, Morishi, and Sato). The viewers still say Makki, though there are some saying Sato

Earl Rose is a guest for this episode. He is the lord (read: owner) of the vampire cafe in Ginza. (he’s basically here to promote the ikevamp collab w/his Vampire Cafe) Sato looks freaked out/uncomfortable by the earl. The three eat the collab foods and drinks provided (it looks pretty good tbh)

NOW ONTO THE “I LOVE YU” SEGMENT

Vincent sinks down to his shoulders in the waters, Theo can’t find him for a bit

Theo and Vincent enjoy spending time w/each other

Sebas can hold his breath underwater (in a hot bath) for 5 min. He did so to not interrupt the two brothers’ conversation (Sebas becoming more and more ooc)

Vincent stated that his previous record was 3 min 46 sec. Sebas said that “as a butler of this mansion, I shall keep on improving” (Theo doesn’t know what the heck is happening, but Vincent seems to be enjoying himself so he let’s go)

Vincent & Theo have never fought (as expected of such bros. Now that I’m rereading this I’m sure this is reinforced in various routes so maybe I don’t need this info)

Sebas (who tries to create some tea---figuratively) asks Vincent what he would do if his pancakes were covered by tons of syrup by Theo, to which Vincent replies “I will give those pancakes to Theo.”

Sebas switches over to Theo, asking him what he will do if Vincent steals his syrup before he can eat the pancakes. Theo answers “Easy. I’ll give the pancakes to my brother. It would mean that he wanted to eat pancakes so badly that he would steal the syrup”

There’s around 2-3 times where Theo almost gets angry at Sebas and Vincent has to stop him (pats his head and stuff)

Theo asks why Sebas is acting weird, to which Vincent believes its bc he’s working too hard, so they should help him out & fulfill his hopes/wishes

Sebas has a voice recorder??? Theo doesn’t know what it is

Theo doesn’t approve being recorded, but Sebas goes to Vincent for protection, who calms Theo

OK I don't talk about this segment much but for the first time since the episodes’ release, there was a tie in the votes in the drawing segment (van Gogh’s drawing section) between Morishi and Makki. Usually, they’ll give the best voted piece to a randomly selected winner w/the VA’s signature, but instead of giving out both pictures, they gave out Makki’s art piece (bc he’s van Gogh lol)

(they didn’t do the “Can you tell me…your name?” segment this episode, but this episode is legendary in my mind!!! So funny and entertaining)

Episode 6: No special guests!! Just Sebas and Vincent

Makki finally lets the viewers choose the official position of Morishi (guest, regular-guest, regular, or dyungyun). He’s officially the dyungyun (でゅんぎゅん) It’s an exclamatory phrase meaning exciting/heart-beating I think… I’ve been watching 6 episodes of the radio but I still don’t know what that phrase means exactly

Welcome to another episode of Sebas slowly losing his sanity! In today’s “I love yu” segment, Sebas makes his appearance by jumping into the baths!!!

Apparently Sebas has an urge to swim when he sees the large baths, and even is a first-class swimmer (スイミング一級) I think it’s a scale on how great he is at swimming, and it would mean he’s pretty good

Vincent has also seen him swim butterfly (idk if it's in the baths or in a pool but imagining Sebas swimming butterfly in the hot baths is amusing)

Vincent likes eating the motsunabe (もつ鍋), a type of hotpot that Sebas made

As an adult, Vincent spends his Christmas season painting, but as a child, he would spend time w/Theo baking cakes, decorating trees, or playing in the snow

One time, Theo cried when a snowball hit him in the face

The two decide to do yaminabe (闇鍋) w/the residents. It is when you darken the room, and anyone can put anything in the hot pot. Vincent’s curious what the others will decide to put in the hot pot.

They created a new segment in the show called “Vanmana Involuntary Awards 2017” (ヴァンなま勝手にアワード) where they review the year 2017 with things related to Ikevamp and the radio. The first award is the most popular phrase which ended up being voted as “dyungyun”. The second is deciding on the best artwork produced in the “van Gogh’s drawing section” with the winning piece being a drawing by Makki titled “A woman being kabedon’d by an Ikemen in a dark room” (yes that’s the title). The third is voting on what the viewers want ikevamp to do in the future (ex. Voice drama CDs, more livestreams, raiding Ikesen, etc.) with the winning choice being to raid Ikesen. And in turn, it is implied that Ikesen would raid Ikevamp. The last is asking the viewers if there has been any change (physically, mentally, emotionally) ever since they started watching the radio, with the most votes on the viewers being more interested in Morishin and Makki.

AND of course, my fav segment “Can you tell me… your name?” Vincent’s chosen line was very nice “Christmas? I don’t need anything. All I want is (y/n) alone.” 

BUT Sebas’s chosen line is (drumroll please…) “(y/n), did you write your New Year’s greeting card?” and the first name he called out was “Santa-san, did you write your New Year’s greeting card?” AND I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING

Other names used were reindeer, postbox, and dyungyun (most were legit names tho)

They also did a third phrase where after saying (y/n), Sebas and Vincent will say a line, and I guess the staff felt bad for Sebas or smth bc he has legit lines in all of the available options. It was decided that Vincent would say “(y/n), I love you,” (大好きだよ) and Sebas would say “I love you” (愛していますよ) after Vincent (Both mean the same thing, just worded differently. Vincent's "Daisukidayo" would prob be closer to "I like you" meanwhile Sebas's "Aishitemasuyo" would be "I love you" if I were to be very specific)

I thought people would submit serious names (many did) but there were names like ice, carbonara, butter, napolitan (many varieties of pasta). There was also Rose and the two VAs were like “Earl Rose??? You watch this???"

Episode 7: feat. Comte’s VA Horie Kazuma

OMG Comte’s VA has such a sexy cool voice I can’t

So I didn’t know this, but you can talk to Vincent on Amazon Alexa?? I don’t have one so idk if it still works but apparently it’s called “Vincent’s time” (フィンセントの時間) and Vincent can tell you the time of day and you can talk to him and stuff??

Video showing Vincent's Time here part 1 part 2 part 3

It’s so funny how similar Horie is to Comte bc Makki and Morishin will be loud and talkative while Horie just watches over the scene like a parent

ANYWAYS for the thermae skit…

It’s rare for the others to meet Comte in the thermae since Comte baths at a later time than the others

The topic of today’s thermae episode is mainly about the construction they have in the baths (prob in another part of it??) Sebas came back running after looking at it, Comte and Sebas told Vincent not to worry about it (WHAT IS HAPPENING OVER THERE??? we'll never know...)

Vincent wants to paint scenes he’s never seen so he’d like to go out to various places

After living for so long, Comte said he’s starting to lose the concept on the importance of New Year’s and New Year’s resolutions (this episode was broadcast on Jan of 2018)

Vincent says that Comte’s like a father, to which he replies, “Haha, I’m not like a father. When you call me something as young as a ‘father,’ it makes me feel embarrassed. I’m probably way older than you two think I am”

Sebas replies, “Oh, of course. None of us know how old Comte actually is”

Comte continues, “It’s rude to ask a vampire their age. Besides, men like to keep their secrets hidden.” To which Sebas is like “As expected of le Comte. That is admirable.”

According to Sebas, Jean has a breast fetish?? Sebas apparently knows nothing else abt Jean other than that single fact

So… the “Can you tell me… your name?” is *chef’s kiss* amazing as usual

Comte’s line was “(y/n), I won’t let you go” and for one of the names, he said “Aramaki, I won’t let you go” & you can tell the staff were laughing. 

So Sebas… his chosen line was “(y/n), isn’t this bed a bit hard?”

There was “Comte, isn’t this bed a bit hard?” and Horie replies “No,” in his Comte voice & it’s amazing. There’s also “Aramaki, isn’t this bed a bit hard?” and Makki replies “Yup.”

Other notable names include bed, obachan (Auntie), Morishima (yes the VA’s asking himself) and employee (店員さん)

Also Morishi does voice-percussion at the end of the stream and… I’ll just say it’s interesting :))

(Also the updates will prob be daily since I've watched & have the next couple parts written already. I just have to watch the last couple & write about it, which should be done soon)

[velveteen-hajime]

Last night I watched the ROTTMNT movie in Japanese because I was curious what personal pronouns the turtles use for themselves in Japanese. Raph & Leo use "ore" while Donnie & Mikey use "boku". For some reason I was expecting Donnie to be more of the "ore" type but maybe that's just me.

I also lowkey wish they'd found a way to incorporate sibling honorifics for no reason other than it'd be cute imo. I think Leo would call Raph "aniki" probably, Donnie would keep it simple calling Raph & Leo "nii-san", and Mikey is like, "nii-san" bordering on "nii-chan" territory.

[mihai-florescu]

i love izumi's fucked up perception of siblinghood. [izumi voice] if i had a younger sibling i would always always make them feel loved. <- has not thought about how this sentiment stems from his need to feel needed which in turn originally stems from his childhood relationship with makoto being an act of agency to him.

also i think so very often about the homescreen lines (?) where izumi says he envies nazuna because his juniors call him nii-chan also. weird freak. sometimes i consider ruka and makoto meeting also i think thats funny

The last sentence took me by surprise, i started imagining what that would be like too now. Are makoto and leo still, ehh whats a good word... not passive aggressive necessarily, but incompatible, i guess...? Not that we've seen them interact in like 4 years since main story 2 afair, but id loveee a new story with them soon, preferably without izumi, i cant just live off of crumbs like this. I think ruka and makoto meeting would be a bit awkward because of that and im not sure they'd manage to get along but i Need to see it

Heart and Soul [Blurb Cannon]

Requested by Anonymous 😱

Another series of Earthshakers have been summoned. Just as Steven is capable of tracking one, another pops into existence. Traveling from one end of Hellsalem's Lot to the other, you realize a very effective way of at least hindering the monsters.

Hopefully just long enough to buy a little time...

Klaus

A sickening sound reached Klaus's ears, a horrid mix of ripping and cracking as he turned. The horrific sight of your still-beating heart in your open palm.

"DO O IA [NAME]. CNILA D COMSELHA ODO ANANAEL. IPAMIS NONCP FAFEN NIIS. AVAVAGO TLIOB VRAN."

Seeing such a large, reptilian creature forming around you was harrowing. Whatever demon you had called upon roared loudly, reaching for the outstretched fingers. Attempting to stop the Earthshaker before it could reach the ground. There wasn't much time to debate this...

~~~~~

It wasn't until much later when Klaus finally came to you, shaking a little as he tried to make sense of what he had seen you do. The way you'd recovered afterwards, as if nothing had happened at all.

"[Name]? Do you have a moment to spare?"

Klaus was practically hanging off the door frame. As adorable as the sight should have been, you knew better.

"Of course love," You sat up a little, facing him, "What's bothering you?"

"That ritual you performed earlier today." He settled across the couch from you, "I worry what it might mean. How much it might take for you to perform and the ramifications of removing your heart in such a manner."

Frowning slightly, "Klaus, love. That ritual is a last resort. While yes, my magic abilities need time to recharge, far more than usual I must admit; I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think it necessary."

"I understand Liebling," His hand rested gingerly over yours, "But I'm no stranger to demon summons that go awry. I worry that doing such a ritual might result in..."

Klaus looked away, unwilling to say what he feared would happen. Remembering what happened with Alruane, despite being many months ago. He simply wanted to make sure you were safe.

.

Steven

"DO O IA [NAME]. CNILA D COMSELHA ODO ANANAEL. TURBS C BABALON ZONAC CIAOFI BALZARG. FAFEN NIIS."

Despite having only heard your voice over radio, Steven's sense of dread spiked. Unable to do anything but code as fast as his fingers would allow, the tired man could only hope that whatever you were doing would buy them all a few more minutes... that everything would turn out just fine.

There was no way for him to know what was going on, what you were doing to buy him the time he needed. All the tired, older man had was the earpiece feeding him bits of conversation and battle as his hands flew across scattered keys.

He just needed to move a little faster...

~~~~~

The last of the paperwork wouldn't finish itself, but Steven was torn. You weren't around and according to Klaus, you'd overdone it in battle. That stressed Steven worse than the timed coding from earlier.

What kind of ritual did you do to wear yourself out that much?

"What was the chanting about?" Steven pressed, "I could hear [Name] chanting."

Klaus shifted nervously, "They had... the ritual was rather intense."

Faltering under the tired gaze, Klaus struggled to find the right words to explain what he had seen. It was something he knew Steven would go off about. But he would simply have to rip the bandaid off, the sooner the better.

"It involved them pulling their heart out." Klaus admitted, "And a sudden transformation into Madam Butterfly's true form. It was quite the sight, and they were more than capable of fighting the Earthshaker back in that form."

Steven could have sworn his own heart stopped beating. So many questions flew across his mind, it wouldn't be an easy conversation. When Steven finally had a chance to sit down and talk to you specifically about this.

.

Leo

Leo hated having to stay so far back. The only good thing about it was how drowned out what you were doing seemed to be. He didn't notice how you'd ripped your heart out, he didn't notice the gaping wound in your chest, and he never would...

"DO O IA [NAME]. CNILA D COMSELHA ODO ANANAEL. TURBS C BABALON ZONAC CIAOFI BALZARG. FAFEN NIIS."

No matter how many times Leo rubbed his eyes, squinted, or outright prayed that what he was seeing wasn't real, you kept going. Chanting something from beyond this world while a monstrous version of Madam Butterfly merged with you. He couldn't handle the stress, not like he knew what was going on in the first place, but Leo had already fought his way through Hell and back to retrieve your heart once...

He wouldn't hesitate to do it again if he needed to, but that didn't mean he wanted to.

Instead, he was forced to stand back and watch you work. All Leo could do was guide you to where you needed to go. The ever-moving targets of weak spots made this whole ordeal that much more difficult for both of you.

And Leo hated it...

~~~~~

Finally able to, Leo crashed on the bed; playing on his phone for a minute while waiting for you to get out of the shower. He couldn't shake the image of you trapped inside the demon you'd summoned.

At least, that's what it looked like to him.

Your arms cross over your chest, eyes closed... you looked helpless the whole time Madam Butterfly was wrecking shop. It was something Leo couldn't shake, no matter how many pictures he swipped through.

"What's wrong love?" You leaned over Leo, barely holding a towel around yourself, "You look more exhausted than usual."

Scrambling up, face beet red while you proceeded to change in front of him, "Uh- No! No, I... well. Somewhat. I just... that thing you did earlier today."

"What of it?" The way you looked over your shoulder would break Leo, "What did it look like from your point of view?"

"Like you were being used as a puppet." Leo tried to keep his mind stable, but you were certainly making it easy to forget, "Or suspended like an android. You know, like wide shots of storage rooms full of robots."

Chuckling only made Leo blush harder, "I can assure you love, that is far from what's happening. I was in complete control the entire time and that was simply body preservation."

Poor Leo could only hope you'd leave the conversation there... but no, you just had to fluster him more. Teasing him while getting dressed...

"If you'd like to inspect how well that worked..." You smirked, "I'd be more than happy to oblige..."

.

Zapp

Zapp's bad mood was only made worse when you ripped your heart out. He could swear he saw it move...

But whatever you were doing, it better work. And Zapp would be pissed if this didn't end well. Going to hell once was enough, save the return trip for when he finally croaked.

"DO O IA [NAME]. CNILA D COMSELHA ODO ANANAEL. FABOAN ZUMVI FAFEN NIIS. BLIOR HE PARADIZ."

Zapp hardly stopped to look, but he knew you were doing something epic. A massive demon form took over your being, it looked like a massive doll. But one of those creepy ones that would star in a horror movie, except absolutely giant.

He had no clue what was going on, what you were even doing. But if it stopped the end of the world, then Zapp could roll with it. Assuming it was temporary...

He could at least hope for that much.

.

~~~~~

"So..." Zapp attempted to drape across your shoulders, being roughly the same height never worked in his favor, "The f&^k were you doing in battle sexy?"

But of course, he had to catch you with a spoon in your mouth... Sure it was only yogurt, but still. He never ceased to start conversations at the worst possible times.

"If you must know, love; I summoned Baal Zebul, Siren of Creeping Plague." You hesitated, knowing Zapp would have questions.

"Uh-huh." He cocked his head to one side, "And that means what exactly? Why'd ya look like a massive Annabelle?"

"That's what she looks like. I have no control over what they look like."

"Shame." Zapp peeled away, "Cause a giant version of you would be a hell of a lot more fun."

Zed

There were a few seconds of the gut-wrenching sound of flesh being torn. Just as Zed spun to see your still beating heart sitting in your palm...

"DO O IA [NAME]. CNILA D COMSELHA ODO ANANAEL. MALPRG ROR MICAOLI IALPON ILS. FAFEN NIIS."

Zed felt his heart stop for a second. He recognized the language, but what was it specifically? That chant had to be a demon-summoning ritual... but why did the language sound familiar to him?

A large demon form sprung forth, engulfing your entire being. It looked like a massive scorpion creature. Zed had no clue what to do in this matter, he had no clue what this demon even was. How would this thing help?

How would this affect you?

But there wasn't time to stop and ponder, you would need a gust of wind to attack the weak spot Leo pointed out. Something Zed could help with, even if it just meant you getting there slightly faster.

~~~~~

Zed wasn't sure how to bring up... everything. He just knew that he remembered the language you were using. Why did it feel so familiar?

"Love?" You poked Zed's cheek, "Are you alright?"

He jumped slightly, "Oh! Yes, yes I just..."

Raising an eyebrow at him, you could only wait to see if he elaborated.

"Well, you see..." Zed tried clearing his throat, "Its about the chant you used. What language is that?"

"Enochian, the language of the Angels." You tilted your head, "Are you trying to say you're fluent in it?"

"No, not quite. I recognize it, but I couldn't speak it. I think Master Raju spoke it a few times during my time training under him." Zed admitted.

Nodding slowly, "I see. I could teach you how to speak it... if you're interested. Though you do have to be careful, particularly with your blood techniques. Don't need you accidentally summoning a legion of fire demons after all."

Zed sheepishly joined your laughter. Tempted to learn, if only to spend time with you; but a little put off by the idea of being able to summon demons himself.

[bluepeachstudios]

Further along in the first chapter what does chichi mean??? I'm assuming it's like father and nii-chan is little sibling?? Otherwise i do like it! It kinda feels like a more 2012 group the 2003 at first but i haven't gotten far in

So, okay, I want to preface this by saying that when we first started writing Mystic Forest we only had what I could find online about Japanese words. Now we have friends who can speak/write Japanese and have helped us out! We've tried editing, but it's still kind of a mess. I honestly need to go back through and edit all of the chapters.

BUT

Chichi means "dad", basically. "Chichiue" is like a super respectful version of "father". "Papa" is like the kid way of saying "dad" in Japanese. The turtles call Splinter Chichi most of the time, though Raph will sometimes use Ouyaji (like "old man) and Mikey uses "Papa". Leo will rarely use "Chichiue" when he's trying to be Very Golden Boy(tm).

This is when talking TO Splinter. When talking ABOUT Splinter, they use Tou-san or Tou-chan(Mikey only).

That's how it should be, anyway.

They also refer to Splinter as "sensei" only during training. It gives them that disconnect to make the point that Splinter is their teacher in that moment, not their father.

The dichotomy in “Nobody Invited You” between, The Honorable Leonardo, moderately well known Hidden City micro celebrity who charms everyone who meets him and his dad, Baron Draxum, the weird recluse alchemist that nobody in the nobility really likes talking to and they’re all kinda relieved that he just sends his son to all the parties instead of showing up himself

[the-city-kitty]

NIY!Raph: *goes about his daily routine, training, lifting weights, etc. absolutely does not notice the multiple throwing knives, Ninja stars, and the straight up tomahawk that all miraculously did not hit him today*

NIY!Raph: Hey where’d all these holes in the walls come from?

NIY!Leo, from a distance: How the hell do I keep missing the bastard!?

NIY!Donnie: *has been running around with a giant cartoon magnet and averting all of Leo’s assassination attempts all day*

[arsoniiii]

hi! i love your art so much, you draw the characters so well and your style is so cute. may i request the disaster twins (if that’s okay with you) - I just love them so much and i also really love your art!

Thank you for the kind words!! I love these two so much actually, thank you for requesting!

“I'm crazy and I don't pretend to be anything else.”

Introduction

A.R.K or as he is otherwise known as “Aruto Shinozaki” is an android created by Wicked Requiem’s 2nd Member Kaoru Shinozaki, and is the “twin brother” to A.D.A/Ageha Shinozaki. A.R.K much like his twin is considered as good as family to Kaoru. However, unlike his kind-hearted sister, it seems like the absolute love and devotion Kaoru has given him over the years has allowed A.R.K to discover a twisted version of “humanity” becoming someone who would destroy anyone who dares to harm the ones he cares about, sending a message to any of his enemies that his family is off limits.

A.R.K is a young man of tall height with a lean figure with many considering him extremely handsome. He has short dark blue hair that is slightly wavy and reaches the base of his neck. He has six eyes which are a sharp gray with black sclera and whenever he goes out he expertly camouflages four of them. However, his eyes shift to blood red whenever he enters “Kill Mode”.  Around his mouth are several diamond markings giving him the appearance of a Glasgow smile.

Unlike his creator, A.R.K is quite fashionable, often seen in punk-style clothing. He usually wears a distressed long-sleeved gray shirt and black ripped skinny jeans along with a black and dark blue jacket. He also wears a harness around his legs, with several chains hanging from his belt loops and ankle-length black combat boots. For accessories, he wears several piercings on his ears and his right eyebrow, a black leather choker, and multiple leather bracelets around his wrists.

Personality

Despite being made of metal and synthetic flesh, A.R.K is disturbingly expressive with his most distinguishing features being his maniacal laughter and psychotic smile. His status as an android makes A.R.K near infinitely intelligent as he is constantly processing the whole internet through his mind. Making him a horrifying enemy to anyone unfortunate enough to earn his ire. Unlike his twin who seems to care for everyone, A.R.K has little to no regard for life, in fact, at times he seems to even enjoy taking it.

A.R.K is often brutal, arrogant, disrespectful, murderous, and sadistic. He has no issue with ripping apart anyone who gets too close for his liking, getting satisfaction from destroying and wreaking havoc either in cyberspace or in person. Taunting his enemies as they lie in front of him dying. Humorously, A.R.K gets a bit impatient during this, even tapping his fingers while waiting for them to croak.

A.R.K seems to treat nearly everyone around him as if they're pawns in a game of some sort. As such, he takes joy in observing events unfolding in front of him before he joins in. He often lies, manipulates, and even fabricates evidence to get people to attack each other. Doing this to see if anyone would be willing to provoke him so he can quickly put his opponent in their place by simply proving his superiority.

When around Kaoru and his sisters he tones down the energy, softening a bit. He even relaxes and becomes more talkative, and his usually malicious taunting becomes much more teasing in nature. Even pranking them to get a little rise out of them. However, make no mistake A.R.K is fiercely loyal and protective of his loved ones with this bond going far beyond what was expected with A.R.K even gaining sentience because of it.

Much like his twin A.R.K developed what many would call a “Kill Mode”. When like this A.R.K drops his sadistic personality and becomes completely emotionless not even bothering to taunt his opponents. A.R.K is considerably more frightening in this mode than he is normally with his only objective being to get rid of the threat as quickly as possible. Thankfully, it's rare for A.R.K to enter this mode as he is more than capable of dealing with any threat in his normal mode.

literally imagine if the boys grew up bilingual or if possibly they took an interest in learning japanese after spending time with karai. mostly im saying this because Leo WOULD become insufferable almost immediately. he would try to get the younger ones to call him nii-san/chan and donnie would build a real gun just to shoot him with it
