Hanma’s Tattoos

Okay, this might be like “who gives a shit??” but I think the translation for Hanma’s tattoos being “sin” and “punishment” is a slight mistranslation. I think his tattoos are actually meant to be read as “crime” and “punishment” as a reference to the novel by Dostoevsky.

In Japanese the kanji used for the title Crime and Punishment is the same kanji on Hanma’s hands, and the crime part of the tattoo can be read as sin or crime

(photos from Jisho.org)

Like obviously it’s not that serious or anything but I think it’s really cool if it’s meant to be a reference. Because like, the tattoos he has are definitely those same kanji

I think it’s both really cool and also quite funny if his tattoos are actually meant to be read as Crime and Punishment but because of translations the English fandom has been saying “sin” and “punishment”

and btw im in my hater arc rn. as time goes on the more i find a lot of 'fandom' stuff insufferable (i like art n stuff. just the way that fandom refits every media to fit a single mold and set of boring archetypes is exhausting.)

i just get really easily annoyed lately. and have been unfollowing people on a whim a lot. its not personal i promise

#fandom culture has made me actively dislike shit i was fixated on a year ago. looking at your ninja turtles #its not even like what they were doing were particularly offensive it was just exhaustingly boring #im sorry i just really dont care about ur 2 million fics about leo being a sadboy. or one million seperated aus.#theres definetly a part of the whole situation in general which has been me coming to terms with my own internalized misogny #actively re-examining my tendencys to gravity towards male characters #idk maybe its making me dislike art more. but idk. ive always analyzed why i react certain ways to certain things. this isnt new for me #anywaays. i had been following a bunch of ninja turtle blogs and they sorta kept messing around with shows like ninjago too #and at some point i was just like. i dont know if these shows are actually that good guys. i think youjust like shows for little boys #and fandoms tend to shaft female chars so it sure helps that their casts are 98% male .#maybe theyre not your blorbo maybe theyre just Guy McAverageMan. thats not inherently bad but you have to consider it.#guys rottmnt is isnt even that good . its not that good ok. its alright/pretty good. and the movie does a few neat things #i feel like ive become one of those people that turn 18 and then immediately go 'minors dni'. im not there yet but i just.#we're watching kids shows. its ok . you can say it.#you may have noticed ive been reblogging a lot of dungeon meshi stuff. i read it all over the past week.#but here's the thing. i thought it was mid/good for like 70% of it.#i think its got some really really cool worldbuilding ideas and stuff #but i think a lot of the writing was sorta. uninteresting to me.#my discord friends have been raving over izutsumi for months.#but i found her presence in the story to be weird and underdeveloped. she felt out of place and her introduction felt clumsy #i felt when the story was ramping up the manga got a lot better. because again theres some rlly cool ideas at play #all the shit with the lion? incredible. the way all the infighting led to more problems bc the elves refuse to explain anything? rlly good.#marcille landing in power? reallly good shit. (i still thought it was a lil undercooked still tho)#i cant stop thinking about laios in that climax scene. i think he shouldve been feral a lot more often #uhh. i got distracted. fandom bad and annoying.#saw a post talking about marcille realizing izutsumi is only 17 and then describing how 'omg shes a mom now' and i wanted to throw up #im done. i swear. im done talking for real. aagh #text

Part 7 of my poll adventure fic. Links: the beginning, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6.

Sooo... I wasn't sure how to get everything across within one scene.

Poll below.

---

"Of course I would like to work with you on this, dear girl," he told Valerie with a smile. "You may not know this, but, back in my college days, I was part of a ghost hunting team."

Not that the three of them had ever found a ghost back then.

Valerie's eyes lit up. "Really? Oh, that explains the ring. I should have realized it before!" She slapped a fist down onto her palm as a gesture of realization.

"Ah, yes. The, uh, ring."

What ring?

Was she talking about the Ring of Rage...? What exactly had he told her about it back then? That the ring had been passed down between generations?

"I was the leader of my group, of course, coming from a long line of ghost hunters. I don't mean to boast, but I did do most of the planning, was the most skilled in combat, invented the majority of the equipment..."

"I knew you were great at making weapons and stuff, but I hadn't thought about the rest. You have to teach me! I could learn so much from you."

He placed a hand on her armored shoulder. "And I'll be sure to teach you everything I know."

...If only Daniel would be so willing to learn.

---

Vlad had needed to make a few alterations to his old jumpsuit.

Well, he'd actually ordered a new one to be made as fast as possible. Even if his old jumpsuit had still fit, it had been made of assorted odds and ends, as had both Maddie's and Jack's been back then.

Currently, he flew beside Valerie in the new jumpsuit, with a powerless, ordinary round sled strapped to his feet.—No need to waste time and money on functional transportation when he had his ghost abilities.

He had a duplicate of himself in his lab in Wisconsin, trying to think of what equipment would come in handy later. And another duplicate searching the ruins of the mayor's mansion.

His current self and Valerie had yet to find any sign of the older version of Daniel.

Which was odd, seeing as Vlad had assumed there would be a clear path of destruction and fleeing townspeople in need of reassurance by their mayor.

But it was probably for the best. He hadn't truly thought through this idea of playing a visible part in the ghost's capture.

His strength was divided between his duplicates, and his powers were limited by a much greater degree still while he was in his human form.

He needed to be able to give it his all when they did come across the ghost. With Valerie's rashness, it was bound to become more than reconnaissance.

Vlad signaled to Valerie to land on top of a building.

As Valerie recalled her suit, Vlad slipped his feet from his metal sled.

"While our time together has been fun, I'm afraid I've overestimated this old body of mine. I'm no longer nineteen." He chuckled, hoping to raise Valerie's visibly falling spirits with a bit of humor. "However, I have an acquaintance for you to team up with in my stead."

"But you've barely started teaching me..."

He'd shown her a few things over the past three hours. Mostly correcting her grip while holding some of her weapons. It was obvious she had taught herself during the past several months solely by trial-and-error.

"You're a wonderful ghost hunter, my dear. I don't believe I have any more techniques to teach that you don't already know."

Which wasn't too far from the truth. Valerie and Daniel both picked things up so quickly. Much quicker than Vlad himself had.

"But... What about what you were saying about planning and stuff? Strategy? I know there's more I can learn."

"And I can still teach you those things—behind the scenes. And I'll also be there rooting for you from the sidelines."

---

"Okay, fruit loop, what are you up to?"

Vlad Plasmius paused in his intangible searching of the mansions' ruins to see the present-time Daniel with his arms crossed.

"I'm not in the mood right now, Daniel. I've missed six days of sleep in the past twenty-four hours!"

The boy gave him a disbelieving look. "I may be bad at math, but even I know that doesn't add up."

Vlad sighed. "It doesn't need to make sense to you. I'm simply busy. Too busy for this."

He had given Valerie an earpiece to wear so that one of his duplicates could speak to her from a control room, while keeping watch on a large monitor. He started by patiently explaining the art of schem— planning, and, while she'd slept last night, he'd looked through a couple textbooks and come up with a lesson plan for later.

Another duplicate worked on advertising merchandise with one of his companies, in order to decorate his limo and his person while he followed Valerie around town to cheer her on and let the voters know he supported her in taking down the dangerous, rampaging ghost that was threatening the city. ...Whenever said ghost will choose to do so.

It had already been a day, and there was still no sign of him. As though he was purposefully taunting Vlad by his chosen inaction.

Vlad also had a duplicate searching the Ghost Zone. But there was no noticeable trail of destruction there, either.

There was still the duplicate in his Wisconsin lab working on a few weapons that should come in handy against the ghost.

And his last duplicate was with Valerie in his ghost form. Since Vlad Masters had suggested the team-up, Valerie had agreed to work with Vlad Plasmius for this one mission.

Being split into so many parts throughout the night, the effects of his loss of sleep was magnified.

"Nice necklace," Daniel said.

And that's what he was working on. Unsuccessfully.

Vlad felt one eye beginning to twitch.

"I can't get this infernal collar off until I find the remote somewhere under all this debris!" Vlad shouted.

shout out to everyones who's brains and nervous systems have been wrecked by stressors + the state of the internet + everything else going on. I promise we'll adapt and I promise things will be alright, focus on making good small decisions to protect your well-being like cutting certain platforms (instagram, twitter, whatever you feel like) and having a look through your follow list to see if unfollowing some people might help. try giving your brain a rest by letting yourself be bored some times. try doing a puzzle or a physical task without a podcast or music or netflix drama. consider not clicking on that expose video of someone you dont know. hesitate before telling someone off in the comments or joining in on an online argument that you can opt out of. protect yourself so you can make your world a better place. push yourself when needed. cut the onslaught of overstimulation where you can, if you want.

I am saying this as someone who's never felt at home irl, with adhd and dyspraxia, general awkwardness, chronic depression, struggles with regulation and im sure a bunch of other things. I really struggle reducing screen time because it often feels like the outside world rejects me, I'm sure some of you relate to that, but I'm taking small steps to make things easier for me in the long run and day to day. it doesnt matter if we don't reach some end goal of total and complete peace and purity or whatever, all that matters is that we're choosing to be more mindful of how we navigate this world of constant stimulation. and i fully believe in all of us :)

#inspired by the fact that im in a bit of a dip in this whole journey #i downloaded insta a few months ago and ive noticed it hurting me #the videos im watching on youtube arent ones i even really want to watch #im getting headaches #i cant cope with chores or being quiet at the moment #and life just hasnt been hitting the same #but thats okay because its all a part in it #so what im going to do is to avoid insta reels #be more mindful with the videos i click on #stop worrying about online discourse im not even apart of #stop worrying about having callout posts written about me because i have nothing to be called out over *nor* do am i even in a position whe #e that'd happen BUT because its just all over everywhere #so many people get exposed #that its now an anxiety for me #im going to go on more walks and do more yoga and sleep more #and it doesnt matter if i can only do bits of all that it only matters if i try #instagram #tumblr #twitter #terminally online #reminders #positivity #mental health #depression #anxiety #autism #asd #actually autistic #adhd #cookie rambles

This paper is actually going quite well.

Too bad it's complete bullshit.

#I'm not lying #but I'm definitely not being brutally honest about the historiography here #look the first few works are technically all social histories but there's a qualitative difference from the later ones #and the politics is still important enough that I should get to call them political histories #Also frankly I don't care #I just need to finish the damn paper by midnight and then I will be free of this fucking course #I have never in my LIFE dreaded going to class before this course #And honestly? It's soul crushing! I have no will to succeed here!#My only motivation is that I liked the rest of the semester and I need to pass this class to continue the program!#the professor asked for an additional evaluation (still anonymous) and I'm torn about how brutal to be #because on the one hand it was an enlightening course and I am definitely better equipped as a historian than I was three months ago.#on the other hand every single one of my classmates had completely given up by the end because no matter what we did it wasn't good enough #and also the professor was just fucking mean a whole bunch. But in that subtle way where you feel crazy for noticing.#so the class was horrible but I don't want him to feel horrible but also maybe he deserves it??? I can't even tell if he's actually a dick #or just acts like one #which is perhaps not a meaningful distinction but if he doesn't mean to I'd feel bad being too harsh #though several incidents make me think he meant to #blegh. It'll all be over by midnight!#And then I can focus on studying for women's history and - joy of joys - writing a syllabus about Victorian fashion and politics #I fucking love historical fashion that's going to be absurdly fun

still sobbing my eyes so never having a weed free night again

#personal #my door got caught on my laundry basket and crutches and i crashed against the walker i got my dad #and i want to yell at my brother how awful he is - which? either of them but mainly the broken door one #but i’ve done that and it doesn’t change anything let alone how i feel #and i wish my mom understood but she just hates me #and she can say she doesn’t and she buys me gifts but then hangs it over my head bc we’re broke #but it’s like i’m in the wrong for my brother violently breaking my door and then is upset i’m upset he still hasn’t fixed it #and this only came up bc she bought me a door accessory. BUT WOULDNT LET ME BUY A DOOR WHEN IT Orginally broke #like life is fine and all till i’m sober and remember my family is actually doesn’t like me and is super mean to me #and i feel like i’m so burnt out from everything i can’t even think about moving out #even tho i said fuck it that one time a few months ago #and i can’t move in with either of my brothers bc they’ve deeply hurt me and i can’t trust them like that #like do i think i would be safe with them and they would house me yes without question #do i think i would sooner kill myself over the pride issue of them constantly treating me like shit i can’t imagine living with #or being thankful to them while still feeling like #i don’t even know what i feel other than not liked or respected by my family #i know it’s lack of weed period and then just also generally living a bad life and having bad family relations but oh my god #gun to the back of my head rn please. please.#but in all seriousness first night i’ve been like huh. i could definitely buy a gun. really bad since the whole dad situation #like other night i punched a mirror when i got charged from my dentist from something two years ago with no warning. no notice #like 200 bucks. so. i already dealt with that it’s some insurance shit im seeing if i can do payments or whatever but never fucking working #with them again. didn’t even answer my question on why i wasn’t given any notices when i had them send me the bill and insurance claims

my sunshiney friend who I’m convinced has never judged anyone in her life and doesn’t have a malicious bone in her body: hey did something happen to your spotify I can’t find you anywhere :(

me knowing full well I blocked her in the heat of menstrual-infused paranoia convinced she was going to somehow scan through all of my playlists and collect enough clues to find my online presence and expose me: oh that’s weird
