HI HI HI
Okay, first of all - HAPPY BIRTHDAY EM&EM!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I hope you have a great day and an even greater year!! ❤️❤️❤️
Now, onto the questions-
9 for Takashi
11 for Ishida
13 for Hein
17 for Ryuji
Thank you so much darling! ♥️♥️♥️
9. If you could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would you make?
I would wish for a world that didn’t discriminate and divide itself.
11. Do you play any instruments? Which ones? How long have you been playing?
I’m very mediocre at the piano. We don’t have many of them here so I’m not able to keep up on my skill.
13. What makes you laugh?
Any stories Ishida or Master Takashi tell! They are so full of mischievous adventures.
I try to hold it most of the time, but I also laugh whenever Ishida teases Master Takashi or Ryuji. Myya says Ishida likes to stir the pot, I don’t understand, but it is very funny sometimes.
17. What’s the easiest way to flirt with you?
Don’t.
Send my OCs questions ✨

✧ Fic and Imagines Request Rules ✧
So, I thought I would make a small rule list, since I really want to do requests as well, apart from the stuff I think of, and want it to go smoothly for all of us! I'll do it in the form of a small Q&A so it's easy to read! I may make small changes to this list. ☆ ~('▽^人)
✧ Will you write about all Sengoku Basara characters, or only some? ✧
Currently, I'll write only about characters I like, know more about and am comfortable with. I'm still fairly new to the fandom, so more will probably be added to the list!
The characters I will write about for now:
✎ Date Masamune
✎ Katakura Kojūrō
✎ The Maedas (Matsu, Toshiie, Keiji)
✎ Saika Magoichi
✎ Uesugi Kenshin
✎ Kasuga
✎ Sanada Yukimura
✎ Sarutobi Sasuke
✎ Fūma Kotarō
✎ Azai Nagamasa
✎ Mōri Motonari
✎ Chōsokabe Motochika
✎ Oichi
✎ Ishida Mitsunari (?)
✎ Takeda Shingen
Of course, when it comes to crack fics and the like, I will most likely involve other characters as well, and they will often be mentioned even in the regular ones. They just won't be the main heroes of the stories or the focus of my imagines.
✧ Can I request a fic with an OC of mine? ✧
Of course! As long as you provide me all the information about them, I'm up for it! I love to see the little fictional people others make, and it would be my honor to write about them too (ships included of course). The more information you give me, the better, and I'll do my best to portray them accurately! As I write, I may ask some additional questions and discuss some ideas (without spoiling too much), to make it the best I can. ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝
✧ How detailed should the request be? ✧
However much you want. For imagines, it will of course be simple, as they're just small thoughts or scenes of the characters in certain scenarios. For fics, it can also be super simple, just give me an idea and I'll do my best to match your expectations. But if you have something more detailed in mind, go ahead and tell me! Have a song in mind that you think would fit for a certain character or scene? Send me that too, music gives me inspiration like nothing else! AUs? Absolutely! As long as there is something for me to work with, it's good! ( ´ ▽ ` )
If you wish to request something, send an ask or a message. You can even do it through a reblog, if that's even a thing? I will ocassionally post about opening requests, so you can do that on there I suppose.
✧ Will you do NSFW, Gore, etc? ✧
NSFW - As is stated in my blog introduction, I don't really do NSFW. I can imply it, or kind of skip over it in another way if needed, but I will never straight up write about sex.
Gore - I mean, Sengoku Basara is about a huge war, so some gore is expected. I don't mind it, but don't expect me to be too detailed either (because of pacing, mostly). I'll describe the violence as needed, but my main focus is how the characters feel, think and act. So in short, there will be gore, but the detail of it will vary depending on how much it actually matters to the scene, and you don't have to worry about anything too mentally scarring I think.
As for other things, it depends, I'll speak out if I'm not comfortable with something apart from the obvious things. I will put trigger warnings where they're needed, but forgive me if I omit something on accident.
✧ Do you do fics on other things than Sengoku Basara? ✧
Currently? No.
But, in the future I will! Once that happens, this section will be updated. You can probably expect some Ghost of Tsushima or Final Fantasy stuff when that happens.
That should be all for now!
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading all this, and have a great day!

Guniw Tools Q-it! Question & Profile (Eng. translation)
Tumblr media
This is a Q&A style interview with Guniw Tools from 1997, when the band consisted of Full, Jake, & Asaki. There's 37 questions in total. Part 2 is under the cut!!
Part 1
Before you read: everything in (parentheses) is there because they wrote it, any footnotes are *asterisked & italicized
19.   Specialty recipe? Full: Sweets Jake: Omurice. Asaki: Filtering water 20.   What do you want from your fans? Full: I don’t want anything from them, be quiet. Jake: Leave me be won't you *unsure if referring to question asker or the fans o.o Asaki: ––––– 21.   What do you want from the staff? (Office & recording companies) Full: Let me go back to Sapporo more often Jake: Treat me gently.. Asaki: C’mon baby!* *For some reason Asaki started answering in English LOL, I’ll format every English answer as such 22.   What do you want from a photographer? Full: Let’s do without automatic shutter! (I mean continuous/consecutive shutter) Make every picture count! Jake: Take beautiful pictures ok? Asaki: That’s right! 23.   What do you want from writers? Full: Go listen to at least one song (especially the popular ones). Don’t ask me where the band’s name came from anymore. Don’t write “This is off the record”.. Jake: Please don’t hurt me.. Asaki: Yeah cool! 24.   What do you want from your editors? Full: What do you mean? I’m doing it. Jake: Look at things in the long term Asaki: Fuckin’ good! 25.   Do you support any baseball teams? Full: Hokkai high school baseball division (don’t let the heat get to you!) Jake: Apache* *baseball manga & anime Asaki: Hokkai bears (is that a thing?) 26.   Your different hairstyles, & reasons why? Full: Spraying & mussing it around, but I always wear a hat anyway. Jake: When I get tired of it, I cut it myself. Asaki: It’s because your Hitomi is too beautiful*… but really, it’s just however I feel. *He is using a cutesy & feminine way of speaking, using a version of “your” that is most commonly used by young girls speaking of young men, jokingly referring to himself as ‘your beautiful girl’ 27.   Have you ever cried at a show? If so, when & why? Full: Never Jake: When I got something in my eye Asaki: It’s because your love reaches & captivates my heart*… really, that’s the truth ok~? *still speaking like a girl lololl, this way of saying heart is feminine & emotional, it’s hard to explain but it's got the unspoken vibe of saying ‘my heart (which resides under my ample bosom)’ LOL
28.   You randomly receive an extra 100 million yen, how do you use it? Full: Build a computer & small steel factory note: what a visionary Jake: Wipe my tears. Waver & fall. Wash my feet from the path of evil. Buy a box lunch from a convenience store. Exchange small change & suffer from poverty. Asaki: Become a gizen* person! Naturally, I’ll become a gizen man!! I’ll be happy to help you out! *gizen is when you do good things simply for the sake of looking good, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but synonymous with hypocritical, a wolf in a sheep's clothing 29.   What is your ideal type? e.g. an idol Full: Sayuri Ishikawa & Ayumi Ishida at the time of their debut, people with fine arms (& waist) Jake: Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion note: ... Asaki: Speaking of idols, Billy Idol - mobile suit type* *may be referring to the video for ‘Shock to the System’ Billy Idol is a cyborg 30. Habits? Full: If I see even the slightest sign that someone thinks of me, “What an obnoxious person!” I’ll respond & treat you as if you’ve done something wrong. Jake: Squashes bugs note: D: Asaki: Hello, I’m Hiroshi Kuse. ~from the news station~* *lolidk I think it’s another pun that only works in Japanese.. 31.   Something you definitely never want to do? Full: Surf… Jake: Doing something I don’t want to do Asaki: Topé* *Wrestling move where you lunge from the inside the ring headfirst through to ropes to attack someone 32.   What is something you want to do for your fans? Full: It depends on the fan. Or rather, it depends on the person, but I’ll treat them the same as I treat every other human being. Jake: Hand out box lunches Asaki: –––––– (Unknown/ambiguous) 33.   If you were to act in a movie, what role would you play? Full: As long as it’s a tricky character*, any character is fine. *unpredictable, clever, eccentric Jake: Kaworu Nagisa (Neon Genesis Evangelion) Asaki: A guy who breakdances by a lake while listening to Julio Iglesias 34.   How do you deal with groupies that chase? Full: I deliberately act crazier than the fan, & then I’ll pet them with affection* *Or could be saying he goes to an even more crazy fan & deliberately gives affection, unsure Jake: Insist “It’s not me!" Asaki: Getting off to a Ben Johnson-esque* rocket start *Olympic runner, held the title ‘worlds fastest man’ 35.   Typical post-live show meal? Full: Nothing in particular Jake: Gyoza & vinegar, eaten together Asaki: First, beer. 36.   Things that you’re happy to get thrown on stage? Full: Super Sculpey* and maybe a pretty girl.. *Clay, Full makes figures & art with Jake: Navona* *Snack cake that comes in different flavors Asaki: American jokes (the witty kind) 37.   In addition to your current stage, what other items or equipment would be useful to have on hand? Full: TV monitor (to check yourself) Jake: Jumping shoes Asaki: A shot bar, 10 powerful older sisters, and also swing jazz… it’s getting kind of ridiculous to write this..
You can see the rest of the photoshoot here & here
Feel free to share/repost as you wish, I'd like for their work to be as accessible as possible!

For Ishida: would you rather let a person you love or ten people you don't know die?
I don’t think I would survive losing another person I love.

Hi! Do you ever find all the responds of the asks for the Ishida's contest?
I was hoping in some fan's photo at his exibith, but I cannot find anything unfortunately.
Send you all the love! ❤️
Hi! I never did, since not everyone posted their letters on Twitter and photography isn't allowed for the Q&A portion of the exhibition unfortunately. I only found some that weren't posted because I talked with someone who attended the exhibition a while back.
The exhibitions are still going on, maybe I should scour the tags a bit...

i'm sorry i always go for the longest questions 🤣 but it's because i love you so damn much my blue 🩵
Hey my anonymous love! I may not always know who everybody is, but when I get a long list of questions, I know it's you babe!💙
11) Do you want children?
I do! My baby fever is actually insane which is why I have my reborn doll to help hold me over for the next 2-3 years until I'm ready for my first real baby.
13) Baths or showers?
Showers. Baths always freaked me out as a kid because I always thought of it as just kinda sitting in a pool of your own dirt lol. So I much prefer showers.
16) What do you typically have for breakfast?
Grits and bacon are usually my go-to. A lot of people aren't fans of grits, but I LOVE them.
18) Favorite swear word?
Daddy Fucker. I accidentally called this poor nurse a daddyfucker when he had to give me a shot in my butt. Thankfully, he found it hilarious.
19) What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep?
I think it was something insane like 28-30 hours last year. I had to work a full 12 hour shift and then I came home and had to move out of my apartment and that took a long time so I got no sleep!
22) What is your favorite accent?
I think Australian. Something about it is so fun to me.
24) Are you scared of spiders?
Absolutely. They terrify the living daylights out of me. Always have. If I see a spider, I immediately need someone to come kill it. I will scream and run and freak tf out.
29) Are you a gossip?
My gf says I am lol. There might be a little truth to that. But it's never malicious.
33) What makes you nervous?
Being perceived in public. When I'm out in public by myself, something about other people taking notice of me and what I'm doing makes my anxiety go up. But I have an anxiety disorder so that's just kind of my life.
34) Are you scared of the dark?
Yes. I usually have to have some source of light when I sleep. Usually, it's the TV. At the very least, it's my phone.
37) Have you ever done drugs?
I partake in some oregano when I'm bored lol. But that's it.
38) Who was your first real crush?
It was a boy in my first grade class named Christopher. I was into him real bad. He was so cute and funny to me. I hope he's doing well.
43) What makes you angry?
Ignorance and people just not minding their own business. Like please just let people do their thing if it doesn't effect you.
44) Do you like your own name?
I like my name. I think it's cute and it fits me. Especially knowing what my name almost was.
45) Comfort character of all time
There's so many to pick from. The one that comes to mind right now is Ishida from A Silent Voice. I relate to him and his struggles so hard. It makes me feel seen.
48) Earphones, headphones or wireless ones?
Wireless headphones are my favorites. They're the most comfortable and usually have the best sound quality in my opinion.
49) Would you date someone you met online after getting to know them for long enough to genuinely start something serious?
Yea. I met my current gf on tinder so I have no issue with dating people that I meet online.
50) what birth control methods do you use or would you use?
I use the pill. Well, I've been off it for a while, but it's my personal preferred method. I've been thinking about switching to the shot though. Not like I really need to worry about getting pregnant right now anyways.
61) what’s your favorite smell?
The comfort aromatherapy scent from Bath & Body Works. It's vanilla and patchouli. It smells soooo good.
62) what are your biggest insecurities?
Soooo many. I like to fake like I'm so into myself, but truth be told, I'm actually super self-conscious about my body. Particularly, my boobs and my tummy.
63) are you more attracted to people who are older than you, younger than you, or the same age as you?
My age range is for people only a couple years younger than me (maybe 23 at the youngest), but it's a wider range for older (I'd maybe cap it at like 38-ish). There's a draw for older and younger so it just depends on the personality. But I tend to lean older usually.
64) are you afraid to walk alone at night?
Yea because I live in the hood lol.
65) What do you think is the weirdest kink?
Scat play. I could never. I won't yuck someone else's yum, but I just do not understand it in the slightest and I don't want to.
66) Should hickey's be visible or hidden?
It's always more fun if they're visible in my opinion.
67) Cutest kiss? (Forehead, cheek, hand etc.)
Forehead is my favorite personally.
Thanks for the questions love! <333

Conclusion/Bibliography
To conclude, women are strong forces of nature to be reckoned with but we too can only take so much, and honestly, we have had enough. We’ve had enough of pregnant Samoan women being treated unfairly based on their social factors, the stereotypes placed on Samoan women with disabilities, the non-consensual sexual effects on Samoan women’s health, how the Samoan community use god to belittle Samoan women, gender roles within the Samoan community, hurting instead of helping our Samoan women within healthcare, etc. I understand being tired of seeing no results and feeling as if you are “wasting your breath” but it is all a process to something much more divine.
These issues I presented were terrible conditions that no woman should have to go through, but the results did start surfacing. More women are becoming doctors/nurses, in the healthcare system and they are of color so that comfort we want so much? It is becoming more of a given. There are now discussions, focal groups, and training put in place to help the Samoan women with disabilities and that have been abused strive and get the support they so desperately yearn for. The rates of STI/STDS in Samoan women dropped significantly after women in healthcare spoke up about the rates of suicides, the effect of abuse, and the significance of ensuring women's safety, etc. 
Pain and hurt can never be taken away as much as we want it to be. If I could I would take the heartache away from every woman I’ve met. Results aren't always black and white because that is not the world we live in. It is okay to not be okay with the outcome but the ultimate fulfillment is when the process finally makes it all worth it. Keep fighting, keep speaking up, and keep going for the “underdog” because after all, it is the underdog that always rises to the occasion!
