The Tell Me Your Problems! Exciting Picnic event story implies that Nene does not go outside in nature much, since she seems surprised by the appearance of the park that she and Rui visit, and then compares it to a video game environment.

In Emu's The Smiles I Want to Protect 2* card story, she also mentions that when she was younger she only ever went to the beach a few times, with her family preferring to visit the local pool instead.

forewarning that this is mostly just an observational ramble

one thing I've gathered from looking around older western fantasy otaku sites is that, presumably in large part because of the order in which things entered mainstream consciousness, sauron is talked about pretty consistently as the final boss of the lord of the rings

technically, this is true of everywhere, but I want to emphasise that it is extremely common to see younger fantasy otaku a decade or two ago use ラスボス when explaining who he is, as a primary descriptor

[before going any further on this, it probably bears mentioning that the japanese translation of lord of the rings is a bit divisive. when it comes up, it's either in the context of how impressive the translation is (skews older) or in how unreadable it is (skews younger), because it's translated into antiquity prose. apparently exceptionally so, even for a fantasy novel, so it was very much extreme nerd shit]

a big part of this is, of course, just the idea of the final boss having more awareness than tolkien at the time the movies were coming out. I imagine almost the exact same thing would happen more or less anywhere that video games hit mainstream nerd awareness before tolkien did, but there's something else that I think might have something to do with it, because if you're looking at old enough threads, you notice that not only is sauron being explained as the final boss, but this is being mentioned in contrast to morgoth not being the final boss

which seems a bit random (morgoth doesn't exactly come up enough in lotr proper to cause this confusion), if you don't know that angband, where morgoth is the final boss and sauron is just the midboss, was pretty popular with western fantasy otaku. well, popular in the way that cult classics are, but you know how it goes

with that in mind, it makes sense that it was (at one point, before tolkien was more accessible through other channels) something people called each other fake fans over

so in a kind of interesting way, namedropping sauron in fantasy otaku spaces that skewed younger (for a time) was almost equivalent to namedropping morgoth in western fantasy nerd spaces. that all kind of stops being the case once you have the peter jackson movies immediately at hand, though

there's also the fact that, because it's a little harder to read lord of the rings in japanese, someone who's casually into the book is much more likely to also go ahead and read the silmarillion, which helped rings of power get incredibly popular with older audiences in japan when it came out. as a fun side effect of all this, there's a bit more morgoth x sauron shipping around

#also should be clarified that the specific way that tolkien is translated in japanese is like #seemingly made to create a generational divide in people who have strong opinions on whether you should use kanji in western location names #same argument as always: do you translate for western sound or period-appropriate language #and its answer is a resounding 'both'

the meaning behind the kanji of mizu and taigen's names is literally not ever gonna leave my mind.

like are you kidding me. mizu is 水 ("water"), we all know that. but what drives me insane is that taigen is 泰源 ("peaceful origin").

so when you put them together ("tai" 泰 + "mizu" 水), you literally get "peaceful water."

MIZU ALONE IS JUST MIZU, BUT PUT TAIGEN NEXT TO HER AND IT'S MIZU, BUT AT PEACE.

ALSO, both "tai" 泰 and "gen" 源 contain the "mizu" 水 character as a radical. for those unfamiliar with japanese or even chinese, a radical basically means a building block for another character; so in this case, the kanji for "tai" and "gen" both use the kanji for "mizu" as one of their building blocks.

this is also why, while "gen" 源 can refer to any general type of origin or source, it also specifically refers to a fountainhead: a source of water, or the origin of a river or stream.

and like yeah okay i know that it's a 99.9% chance that the creators didn't even think about any of this. but STILL. the brainworms have fully taken over and i am going CRAZY.

#mizu x taigen #taigen x mizu #taimizu #blue eye samurai #like this is greatly the reason why i prefer taimizu over taizu as their ship name #bcs taizu is like. huh. what's the kanji for “zu”? it doesnt matter it's irrelevant here bcs “mizu” itself has its own kanji and meaning #the only way to spell out taizu then is to use the hiragana or katakana but in that case it wouldnt mean anything #BUT THIS???? GUYS..... IT LITERALLY MEANS “PEACEFUL WATER”.... “PEACEFUL MIZU”. LIKE CMONNNNN #taimizu in my mind = 💚💙=🌳🌊 #yeah i'm scheduling this post it's been in my drafts for way too long it's time to let it roam free #fandom.rtf

Kanji of the day: 尭

尭 - High, far, lofty

Kun: たか.い On: ギョウ (Pinyin: yáo | yao2 )

Ideographic: A mound (垚, made out of three 土 earth) on top of a tall platform 兀

Almost only used in names, though there are exceptions. In old idioms, this kanji usually refers to Emperor Yao, one of the Five Legendary Emperors of China.

Strokes: 8 Radical: 土 earth

Nice. Just............. nice.

三 means three, and it’s read み, み.つ, みっ.つ, サン, or ゾウ

川 means river, and it’s read かわ or セン.

The name 三川 (which is very satisfying to look at and resembles two sets of claw marks) is read Mikawa. In rare cases, it might also be Sankawa, Sangawa, Mitsukawa, or Mitsugawa.
