Hey was anyone going to tell me that chilchuck's daughter made his gay little infinity scarf or was I meant to read that myself in the chapter where Marcelle solves his divorce.

#I read the bicorn chapter last night and may never be the same #I don't rlly ship marcelle/Chilchuck but she did create an intricate vision of a world where she is his loving wife who leaves him #But only because she feels undervalued and would get back with him in a heartbeat #And uhm. #Not sure what to make of that! #dungeon meshi #chilchuck tims #delicious in dungeon #chilchuck

Heartwarming: area woman asks a question on reddit and gets exactly the answer she was looking for (and then decides to repost it here bc i LOVE little details like this)

transcription below the cut!

Q: Why do the characters think Ichiban Kasuga is a fake name?

I'm a few chapters into Like a Dragon and when Ichiban is introducing himself to Nanba, Nanba seems certain that Ichi is using a fake name. After that, there are a few moments when he introduces himself, and preemptively assures them that yes, that's his real name.

I'm just curious to know if there's a cultural/translation note that I'm missing here? i know 'ichiban' means 'number one' but is it an especially unusual name?

A: Ichiban isn't really a name. Kasuga is, but it also has a slightly unusual reading, and more importantly forms a pun with Ichiban.

Kasuga Ichiban -> Kasu ga ichiban -> "The lowlife/dreg is number one". It symbolizes his "from the rock bottom to the top" motif and is also used as a sentence in the game's opening song Ichibanka ("Kasu ga ichiban toru gekokujou", roughly translating to "a revolution where the lowlife gets the #1 spot")

One of the bosses also makes fun of "Kasuga" because it contains "kasu" (lowlife, dreg, etc.), though that's just being petty (kasuga just means "spring day", though without knowing the reading you might instead read it as "haruhi", i.e that one anime character).

#if i could read a novel full of translator's notes for every dubbed media i've seen i would in a heartbeat #i was wondering if 'ichiban' is normal in the same way that names like 'summer' and 'melody' are normal? seems the answer is no lol #yakuza like a dragon #ichiban kasuga #nora’s flop posts

Even post-reveal, there will be anxieties left

@naffeclipse Hi sorry I've neglected the boys in the hurt/comfort, I've come to deliver <3 So normal about all of them being so so touch-starved, and how Sun/Moon may hold back (to their own detriment) in fear of scaring their little hunter once they all know (about Y/N's history, about Sun/Moon's identity)

#post let luce #my art #fnaf sb #fnaf sb au #cryptid sightings #cryptid!sun #cryptid!moon #naffeclipse #only somewhat related to the chapter itself basically but as always my mind ran away with me #as did my hands. this was supposed to be 15 panels but that would have meant not having the first five #and it definitely hits better with them. so. 20 panels. #it has been 13 hours since I started reading the chapter. here we are #and this comic has it all. hurt and comfort. terrified expression (my beloved). hand holding. holding the boys. #Y/N's soul and love in the stitches as red toned patches #heartbeat makes a return #okay yes I think I can shut up now

okay I know the immediate thought (for me, at least) was Lewis/Vivi/Arthur. which is fantastic too... but please consider my counterargument: Arthur/Lewis/Vivi

#my wrist hurts too much to draw rn but someone poke me in like two weeks to doodle this #lewvithur #mystery skulls #look inside yourself and tell me Lewis would *not* wear that sheer dressing gown in a heartbeat #meanwhile Vivi rocking the stolen shorts and nothing else casually sitting around the breakfast table reading horror novels #to a still-dead-asleep Arthur face down on his hat. pom-pom fluttering up and down in the breeze when he snores #....I was gonna say something like 'and mystery is just always nude' but technically he has a collar he isn't dog-nakey #but now the idea of him carefully unhooking it every night to Sleep In The Buff™ and then delicately replacing it again in the morning #(while getting utterly scandalized if anyone walks in on him before he has it back on again) #is absolutely sending me right now #mystery skulls animated #sorry for the rambling y'all I'm in A Mood™ today it seems

Hi. I want to read Camus' Caligula. Which translation have you read (if you read it in translation)? I would search under tags but my tumblr is currently acting up. If you've read more, which one would you recommend, or what did you like about each one?

I've read camus' caligula in french and a couple of translations in english, the only one I like is Stuart Gilbert's translation, the other ones aren't even worth talking about tbh

I'm incredibly obsessed with phrasing of 'this ghoul-haunted wilderness of mine,' 10/10

#a very good fried (hi bel!) also once translated an excerpt of it that i keep saved on my desktop #(if i ever win the lottery i would throw money to you in a heartbeat for a new translation of it) #gilbert's translation is the only one that captures this sense of. fraying? frenzy?? that i get when i read it in french #like i can feel caligula picking at the threads and tearing at the walls #GOD i love this play. absolute fucking favorite of all time #i spent literally 40 minutes trying to decide which excerpts to use as a little teaser of the translation #bc its so so so good from start to finish how can i pick just one!!!! #this might be my favorite caligula speech in the play tho #i DEFINITELY think about it almost day. definitely when im drawing the dead romans #ask tag #rec tag

Just some rambles on The Stranger, and like, by no means am I saying I'm correct about my interpretation, I'm just exploring a different idea

*also, a personal note about death, grief, and parental abuse

Reading the Stranger rn and it's soooooo painfully idk obvious?? Or at least relatable that Meursault is autistic

Like, the book is from his pov but I honestly think his "lack" of emotion comes from his own nebulous understanding of them

He feels content while never saying it but acting it out, and he focuses on moments as if he's been struck by them but can't plainly state why

Tbh, idk, but being sentimental about it, Meursault (and how it's interpreted within him being an absurd character) kills for no reason.

Except there was, aside from the excuses of the knife or Meursault's mood. Its the sun. The sun that supposedly represents the meaninglessness of life and death as something inevitable but

Idk, I'd say to some extent, the sun is ambivalent to meaning, but that doesn't mean it doesn't help life grow or just as equally destroy it either

Rather, it's something that can't be moved by sentiment in this worldview and by extension, Meursault is blinded by the sun

Also just from a personal indulgence, I would say that Meursault's mother is the sun, and so is he too by some extent.

I've heard that people say the dog is his mother, but I also wonder if the dog is Meursault as well

"Why does Salamano treat his dog that way?"

And like, idk I think a lot of Meursault’s limited portrayal of emotion as he himself narrates it makes sense to me with the idea of it all connecting back to his mother

They are inseparable, the same, and they both meet their end

From the perspective of someone with not a great mother, this premise is relatable and maddening, it doesn't make sense, and like to be frank because I've been dancing around it because I feel like I'm projecting but,

With parental abuse and love, there is a sense of both chains and disattachment that honestly terrified me because it came from a place of 'this is how society expects you grieve' and I didn't, not in the way that's viewed as "acceptable" or "normal" either

Also, as someone who lost someone years ago, I didn't grieve by crying or being distraught for months because of it, I grieved by remembering and letting go

As a kid, I understood that my quiet was not what was expected, and kissing the cold forehead of someone I loved after they've died, I've resolved myself to never go to a funeral ever again

In some way, if Meursault’s mother was abusive, from the perspective of a child, these actions are absurd and don't make sense until kids try to either make a reason themselves or they are told

But also. Just coming from an autistic perspective, Meursault doing or not doing certain things at his mother’s funeral is categorized as him not caring for his mother (or at least enough) and like????? His actions have no relation really to his emotions

Idk, I just think I've read a lot of takes that Meursault is completely emotionless and that's like??? Idk, I don't agree at all

Also, I think Meursault's ambiguous relationships and nebulous emotions are the point tbh

(Which allows for literal interpretations like mine)

#i have thoughts #somehow my favorite classic by far #meursault in the beginning of the book was instantly both familiar and endearing to me #if i had been socially expected or forced to attend my mothers funeral especially with who I was a few years ago #I honestly would have acted much the same #meursault just drips with a hidden inner world that's not expressed with typical flowery ans emotional prose #Him listening to Marie's heartbeat was somehow the cutest thing ever #either way #i read this for limbus so #limbus meursault #limbus company #lcb meursault

I really wish yamato had gone with luffy and I love that he asked to be considered a crewmate anyway and that luffy told him he'd always have a place on the sunny so I a hundred percent consider him a mugiwara but in my ideal one piece where the war ended differently and ace is still alive yamato is his. like obviously ace is dead and he hadn't been a captain for a while before then anyway, but in my ideal one piece yamato belongs to him. he's a spades. he's ace's crewmate first and foremost.

#the way yamato talks about ace is so wonderful to me so beautiful #the certainty he had in ace being the one who'd spearhead the new age rivals the trust the mugiwaras have in luffy #the only reason he wants to be on luffy's crew is cause ace told him so much about luffy he decided if it wasn't ace it had to be luffy the #i have this thing in my brain that if the asl brothers had all actually become captains and stayed so #there's a whole bunch of luffy's allies that would have actually been split between them #like i mean the only reason why they're with luffy is that cause he's the closest thing but #had ace and sabo gotten there first some of them would have aligned more with them than with luffy #like take vivi for example she's DEFINITELY nakama and no one will take that from her #but are you seriously telling me had sabo had his own crew he wouldn't have managed to actually steal her away #some of the royals and nobles luffy befriended are so sabo coded they'd have joined his crew in a heartbeat had he had one #same with ace there's a bunch of mugiwara allies that are so ace coded he'd have swept them away so easily..... #no but that's not even it with yamato #like that's just me letting my brain go but with yamato it's like #on paper #dude saw the new king in ace he'd have followed him to the end of every sea had he been able to #had ace gotten there when he knew haki already...... #no yamatos definitely aces ace just lent him to luffy thats the hill I'll die on #on a side note i just read that one part where marco remembers ace whining that he wanted to go back to yamato #and i had forgotten that he smiles and cries at the memory #one hit ko a million hp lost i want to die what the hell marco my love marco my sweetheart 😭😭😭😭😭 #oh i love marco so much...... #i always loved him unreasonably even before the war when he'd barely done anything but the more oda writes about him #the more my love grows no one gets it he makes me so sad he deserves so much more my man my sweet 😭😭 #izo too........he gets there like “are you ready to die” “I've survived enough already” IZO MY LOVE 😭😭😭😭 #the wb pirates make me so sad man..... but marco and izo a million times more than anyone else sob sob they deserve better #sorry but i just had someone very angry abt what i said re vivi in my inbox so let me explain that #it was an exaggeration i wasn't being literal with it #no i do think understand specific circumstances it might have been true but i was exaggerating nontheless #very sorry the truth is i forget people actually read what i write m(._.)m #but also why be angry in my inbox I'm not even tagging these posts just unfollow me man

yknow cheryl getting the concept of homophobic family members explained to her as if she hadn’t literally been sent to Evil Nun Conversion Therapy by her own wicked mother the season prior would be a pretty magical Bit if i believed it were intentional. however, unfortunately, the episode was written by britta lundin,

#i read ship it. i suffered through that experience for the Bit of my own. and well #well it is a bad book! it is bad. it isn’t good #besides the one genuinely beautiful moment where the like. bully dude goes “ok dyke” #and the protag goes “maybe i am!” as this epic own and then shoves him into a locker. magical writing #the emotional climax of the book being the protag tearfully deleting her tumblr account was also kind of magical i can’t lie #but after that Experience well. well. britta’s writing and i are familiar. and also nemeses. Badly. #if i didn’t already know britta wrote that ep and u made me guess what she wrote i would say that one in a HEARTBEAT #it’s still camp of course. but i do fully know that britta is just genuinely bad at writing. Sad! #sorry it’s 5:30 am i am so unsure why im thinking of this. but hey! im on winter break! LALALA FROLICKING #riverdale
