#maybe i'll do fumi's at some point

[razzmothazz]

I can't, I wanted to finish coloring everyone first, but. I just can't NOT yap about at least one of them. So um. Matsu. He's my favorite I think?

(his necklace and nail polish are the colors of the unit members! I haven't come up with a unit name yet tho,,)

On the left there is Toshiro's (they/he) hand (they're the unit's leader) and on the right is Fumi (she/they) (who's kinda Matsu's friend from middle school)

I love him soooooo much, I may have projected onto him a little with the whole sea autism thing but uhm. I'm not going to give any of them canon labels (except for pronouns) (I want it to be kinda like pjsk itself, but I also just want to be able to play around with ships and their identities), but!!! More about Matsu. Despite not REALLY giving him any labels, he's very much intended to be autistic. He's insane abt marine life (the projecting part lmao) and especially sharks and ESPECIALLY thresher sharks (which is the shark I doodled there beside him with uh other stuff!). Currently he's geberally pretty cheerful and excitable, actually never shuts up, he starts talking and then it's just. Forever. (Not neg I love him so so so so much). He used to kinda get bullied in middle school and Fumi was a very timid child back then and was afraid she'd also get bullied, so she just coudknr bring herself to help, and she kinda blames herself for that right now, she grew to be very confrontational and a bit overprotective of Matsu, and I have like a whole part of the story planned about them coming to terms with everything and learning to not treat Matsu almost as a child as they kinda tenda to do, and I just love these two so much. Am I making sense? Idk this is just a stream of whatever I have going on). By the way!!! The fourth character Seina (she/her) who's completely out of frame in this cropped pic usually keeps Fumi's confrontational and slightly aggressive nature in check, she's overall very caring BUT of course I put some sad story there ue ue whatever (not whatever, I'm insane about her, but I'll talk about Seina more when I finish her part of the reference).

I haven't thought THAT much about these guys' relationships with canon characters, but since we're on the topic of Matsu (are we?? idk at this pojnt), I think at some point he met Emu and they got along pretty well! Maybe even became friends!!! I think they match each other's energy pretty well, even if with all his excitableness (is that a word in english idk) Matsu is still calmer than her, they definitely have some autism to autism comunication going on. Oh!!! Also. I started thinking about the characters' habits and quirks, and I think Matsu would make EXCESSIVE eye contact. This is partially from the impact left not only by ppl bullying him, but just yknow ppl around him as he was growing up. He's learning to be comfortable with not restricting himself around his friends, but *because* he learned that it's pretty much one of the only ways to at least somewhat fit in growing up, it's hard for him. But they care about each other so so so much and I love them. I just started talking about everyone somewhere along the uhh this whole ramble, so Toshiro!!! I haven't said much about them yet. They're actually partially inspired by my super cool and awesome aunt in some aspects of appearance and behavior, but I still piled a bunch of my own stuff to not just copy a real person,,,, anyways. He's the group leader, he pretty much brought everyone together? They all kinda had some sort of connection to each other previously to forming the unit, but uh. I haven't come up with exactly *how* they're gonna end up as a. Group? Band? Ehatever they are. I think I focused way more on their personalities so far, woops. But I'll get there eventually. Anyways. Right, Toshiro. I haven't developed them as much YET, but geneeal appearance stuff: they have vitiligo, pink-ish hair? Overall mostly a pink colorscheme (they're all color-coded yay). He's pretty into crystals and spirituality in general, also has some physical stuff going on (but I haven't exactly figured out what yet), he can't do a lot of physical activity, has kinda weak bones (Seina helps him out a lot when he needs it!!!), Toshiro is overall pretty energetic and tries his best in everything, tho tends to overwork himself a lot bc he's dead set on getting better at everything and making people around him proud and just being reliable. I also plan on expanding on this in the later story, I think so far the themes I put in their unit have a lot to do with letting go of the past (they ALL have that in common), not letting others' expectations ruin you, accepting yourself, all that. I was kinda worried they were walking too close to N25 at first, but I think it's all good actually, esp when I later expand on their story,,,, oh right also Seina. I think she's my second favorite, she's. I love her. ik I said I'm bot giving them any canon labels, but Seina and Fumi are so lesbians and so I love to me. And also I get arospec vibes from Seina BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I SHOUDL BE TALKING ABOUT. She's kinds the mom friend of the group, always taking care of everyone. As i mentioned, she helps Toshiro with physical tasks when he needs it, keeps Funi out of trouble and also helps Matsu in socially overwhelming situations MY CAT JUST FELL OH MY GOD ok ok she's okay, anyways. But Seina had "failed" to helo a friend in the past, so now she's a bit obsessed with being helpful to everyone as much as she possibly could, or else she feels useless and worthless. And guess what I also plan a whole arc expanding on it and eventually the other members comfort her and they all work on it and the others try to also take care of her, and of course it takes a lot of time, but I like the idea of her uhh healing? Development idk, THIS bring shown slowly and over time. Okay. I think I finished yapping *for now*

I haven't come up with their virtual singers, name of the unit, sekai and A LOOOOTT of other stuff yet, but uhm. I have so many ideas oh god

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RAMBLE OH MY GOD THEY ALL SOUND SO CUTE SJDJHDNDNDNBFN I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!! this ask feels like were on a voicechat or smthn KSHDNDJD GLAD UR CAT IS OKAY IM

wow thats a lot and you thought abt their stories way more than i did for mine so far like even future developments and stuffs KSHDHDJDKCNFNNF but I LOVE THEIR DYNAMICS!!!!! Matsu has simiar vibes to my 1st pjsk oc Yuno!! theyre both energetic and full of autism so i think they would get along skdjdhbrnf IM ALREADY THINKING ABT MAKING THEM ALL FRIENDS SORRY- SJDNJCNFJD this just makes me so happy i love hearing about others ocs UR MIND!! U MADE THEM ALL SO !!!!

and id LOVE to see all of their designs when youre done with them and THE COLOR CODING!!! I LOVE COLOR CODING SJDHHFJD this is just. awesome i dont even have words just pure excitement at this point

OH ALSO BTW!!! if u wanna do relationships with canon characters i found this chart that might be helpful :3

i have no idea who originally made it cause its been reposted like a shit ton of times but!! its great and helpful in figuring stuff out :3

#VERY AWESOME!!!!!!! #pjsk #pjsk oc

[enchanted-keys]

(Im feeling dumb because i remembered to check the place™️ after sending you the ask) but now that i watched it i have a few notes

-fumi fucking kaneko. Ily ma'am i would be lying if i said i didnt cry with her appearing on stage

-i loved how the pointe shoes for the fairies were matte bc from far away it truly looked like they were floating

-gary avis spinning the necklace thing 10/10

-now i understand why i saw comments about how difficult the choreography is

Now some "negative" comments altho they are light

-that wig on vadream. Who did that deserves jail

-i liked the fairies' ball tutus better than the dresses from the first act

-the gloves on both the winter fairy and cinderella's ball outfit. Why. It looked cheap idk why

Overall that was 10000000/10 it's sure one of my favorite ballets now

Well, while definitely enjoy Cinderella I'm not sure I'll ever be able to call it a favorite. There's not enough Prince and too much, way too much, of the sisters. Although Gary Avis doing that thing with his necklace honestly had me laughing my ass off...that part was funny for real. The choreo is stunning, though. Surprisingly enough, my favorite fairy was O'Sullivan, followed by Choe as Autumn. I always love Fumi and she was stunning as usual, but Nela and Vadim were the real stars of the show for me: they were the real magic on that stage and I had eyes for them only. Not sure what you're referring to when you talk about a wig, though...that was Vadim's hair and I thought he looked very dashing. The act 1 fairy costumes are the only ones I don't like that much, except for spring, maybe, but do really like the act 2 tutus: the details from up close of those tutus are incredibly pretty.

#still prefer this new production to the old one BY FAR #the old one looked incredibly old dusty and had atrocious costumes for the corps and especially the sisters #also...moving the ball in the garden? A+++++ decision #asks

[historical-painting]

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Speka and this is my lovely little blog for the character Fumie Miyuki, or primarily known as Fumie Hyakuya aka Fumie, from the franchise Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End!

Please be aware that my version of Fumie is HEAVILY based on headcanons and an AU I created where the Hyakuya orphans lived. In said AU, Fumie was found and taken in by Shinya Hīragi, being brought to the Japanese Imperial Demon Army as a survivor alongside Yūichirō (though she is found at a later date than Yuu) and now serves as a soldier for the Moon Demon Company. Her age ranges from seven to eleven years old.

Additionally, all follows come from @chronosbled​​ given that this is a side-blog. At some point in the future, the remaining members of the Hyakuya children will be linked with their respective names: Akane Lida, Kōta Haiyama, Chihiro Junji, Ako Yuki, and Taichi Yamada. This AU also includes the survival of Tomoe Saotome, Yoichi’s older sister, and Riko (Kijima) from the Shahal OVA.

Rules | Muse | Credits

Note: Mun has extremely severe insomnia and thus often has spotty activity and response times. Often times she does not sleep for more than a few hours at a time, generally being unable to properly fall asleep and is always in a state of being half awake when actually sleeping (additionally is a naturally light sleeper). She has so much trouble sleeping to the point she can talk to people on the other side of the world (where it is now morning) and still not be able to sleep afterwards. Mun is always in a permanent state of exhaustion despite seeming upbeat. Please be patient.

#{ PSA } #{ Pinned Post } #{ This is the what the canon of the blog will be. } #{ This will override most things I do and this is what I will always default to when getting asks and such. } #{ The AU follows the canon story. It just has some changes where certain characters died. } #{ The cast still thinks they're dead. At least until they reach specific points in the story anyway. ] #{ I have the other characters I muse that follow this AU listed here as well. } #{ They don't have links yet because I have to remake them. } #{ Though instead of doing all single muse blogs like I did before... I'll probably do dual muses. } #{ Maybe. I'm not 100% sure yet. } #{ Maybe just Fumie and Taichi will have their own blogs? } #{ Everyone else can be dual muse blogs. }

Hero For Hire pt 4

Summary. Reader stumbles on a website that specializes in getting rid of ex boyfriends with the help of a‘ fake boyfriend’ Pro Hero. She agrees and Hawks shows up to do the job. But Reader is starting to fall for her fake boyfriend.

Hawks was pacing around his Agency office holding the feather he had given you ; it was almost wilted now and missing quills . It looked like it was squeezed as if a struggle happened. As soon as he found the feather he went home leaving the mission to other Pros . What happened? Were you okay?

Tokoyami knocked lightly and opened the door quietly which was difficuly because it had this dreadful squeak that made Dark Shadow tingle all over . “I'd wish you got that fixed.” Tokoyami said, closing the door behind him with Dark Shadow peering over his shoulder shaking all over.

Hawks looked over and instead of a snarky sarcastic comment he said ‘“sorry, i'll get it fixed soon' ' he looked tired, defeated. And Tokoyami noticed.

“Keigo..?”

“I think y/n was kidnapped ..” he handed over the feather and flew to his desk to sit down, hands in his curly hair.

Dark Shadow creeped over Tokoyamis shoulder examining the feather while Fumi talked. “I told you that little extra cash business was dangerous”

“I know.”

“And i told you that you should be careful when picking clients with crazy exes”

“ ...i love her.”

Dark Shadow covered Tokoyamis mouth before he could speak and spoke instead . “Keigo !! In love?!??”

Tokoyami gave Dark Shadow the side eye and he crept behind his shoulder again. Tokoyami rolled his eyes and made his way to the desk to sit down, elbows on his knees rubbing his hands together. “Are you sure about that? Keigo?” He asked, looking up at the Number Two Hero.

“Yes, she's different.. i don't know how to explain it.”

“You told me she never asked for anything.”

“That's correct.”

“Maybe that's why..”

Hawks laid his head on the desk whining.

Tokoyami rolled his eyes. “I'll help you, only because I want them to be safe. Cmon, lets scope out her job”

Hawks looked up with tired eyes, he had bags under them too, “thanks Toko.”

The two left for your work asking your boss all kinds of questions, he had not seen you and you were not the type to call out or do a no show. Tokoyami was inspecting the store while Dark Shadow was hiding from mirrors. Hawks was still talking to the boss.

“She said you had a mission whenever I asked about you.”

“Oh yea. Thats true but uhm.. she hired me to be her boyfriend to scare her ex away .”

The man laughed tapping Keigos shoulder. “Dont tell me you were doing that because you were bored with hero work.”

“No no. Well.. and i wanted to help people, make life a little easier for everyone.”

“Aww how sweet, but now that you mention it, i have not seen the guy since she went missing”

Keigo tilted his head and Tokoyami came out of the store with a new hoodie on .

“Couldint resist?” Keigo asked him .

Tokoyami gave Dark Shadow a look and pointed to him. “His idea, he said I'm too cold, my body is a perfect natural temperature.

“Tokoyami i dont think that's what Dark Shadow means…”

•••

After Hawks gathered up some information on your ex he decided to do some stake outs near his home, it was not far from the countryside, just out of the city pretty much . He waited, and waited, till finally the man left his house , he looked to be on edge and checking over his shoulder a lot . Hawks crouched down on the roof of a building watching him get in his car and drive off into the city. He waited just a couple more minutes before falling off the roof into a gentle glide down behind the mans home.

Everything was locked from the inside with some kind of special lock , it was no trouble though. A feather slipped under the back door unlocking it and Hawks crept in closing it quietly. He was in the kitchen and everything was off. The windows did indeed have a special lock on them along with the front door, some kind of combination lock.. He walked into the living room sending out some feathers upstairs . “Y/n? Y/n..” he called , wandering the house. All his feathers came back with nothing and Hawks was getting worried now.

“Mmf..!!!”

“Y/n?!?”

He rushed down the stairs stopping in the living room to see a basement door with a combination lock. “Y/n!!” He banged on the door.

“Mmfff…!!!!”

Hawks moved back and kicked the door in smashing it right in the middle, as soon as he did though the mans car pulled up to the driveway . Hawks rushed down to the basement seeing you gagged and tied up to a chair. He grabbed you, hugging tight, letting out a large sigh of relief. His feathers cut the ropes around you and he removed the gag and held your face.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt? Y/n.. “

You hugged him tight, crying quietly trying to explain. “He.. took me.. i .. i was here all .. night and day..”

“I know , i know.”

“Dont leave me..”

Hawks pulled your face to his kissing you for a minute. “Never, i'm never leaving you again.”

The front door clicked and Hawks pulled you to his chest scanning the room, no other way out. He pulled a feather sword to his front holding you with one arm to his chest.

Boku No Hero Academia Chapter 271 SPOILERS

(Fumi is short for Fumikage, which is Tokoyami's given name. And DS is Dark Shadow.)

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Yes we FINALLY get to see what mayhem Tomura will cause and how The Boys will react to it! Except we don't because Horikoshi likes to blue ball people and we end up cutting back to Best Bird Boys, which I wouldn't have a problem with if Tomura hadn't just AWAKEN FROM THE DEAD but sure, let's watch Tokoyami try to save Hawks from burning to death.

Anyway, Tokoyami uses Dark Shadow to escape the Fataxi as Fat Gum tries, and fails miserably, to keep him there.

Kaminari is all "The hell are you doing idiot?!?!" and Tokoyami yells back "Hawks is in danger and the plot demands I go save him!!"

Fat Gum muses about how Tokoyami is the only person to escape his quirk before ejecting the kids out of him and following after Tokoyami while yelling about Fumi dinning and dashing him.

Hi yes I like this very much thank you Horikoshi-sensei. I'm still upset about the blue balling tho.

Fast-foward to where we last left them off, DS is covering Hawks' back with Fumi's cloak and his assessment of Hawks' injuries are kinda grim. DS says there's nothing left, so I'm assuming that means his wings are permanently gone. And also he's still on fire.

Dabi calls UA pathetic for bringing the kids in to this, which is fair, however need I remind you that you guys have Toga, who's 17 and you had Mustard on your team at the Training camp arc and he wasn't even in high school. Not saying that bring highschoolers into an actual war is any better, just pointing it out is all.

OH NO OH FUCK OH SHIT OH-

YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING YOU LITTLE SHIT. LOOK AT THAT SMIRK.

I mean you guys are literally trying to destroy all society and mass murder millions of innocent people but go off I guess.

Omg Fumi's face. He looks so betrayed T^T

I'm sure Fumi is gonna unpack all of that later but right now he's trying to make sure neither of them die.

Dabi goes on a rant about how the heroes are the real bad guys, and while this happening Hawks tells Fumi that the reason Dabi didn't kill him when he had the chance is because his own flames have weakened him. They've got you figure out Dabi.

With this information in mind, DS attacks Dabi and Fumi decides that's the perfect time to yeet Hawks and himself off the balcony. DS barely has time to hold on to the railings.

The landing is rough because fire and DS don't mix. Hawks is knock out from the impact, but at least he's not on fire anymore.

(Edit: He is still very much on fire)

There's no fire on the balcony they landed on so Fumi calls back DS and they do the Black Fallen Angel move to fly on out of there.

NEVER FUCKING MIND

Oh shit he's doing the Endevour thing. Could he always do that? Probably. More fuel for the Dabi/Touya theory no doubt.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ICE?!?!

We cut back to outside the mansion where Fat Gum finally arrives only to be greeted with the perfect view of Mt. Lady's ass as she falls from the sky, still in her giant form btw.

Lol Fat Gum no.

Geten appears in all his icy glory and say he won't allow the heroes to interfere with Re-Destro's plans any longer. What took you so fucking long to show up anyway.

So Geten, who holds all the brain cells of this operation apparently, tells the underlings that rushing into a fight is exactly what the heroes want and that they should wait for an opening to strike instead. As he says this a villain appears from the ice right next to Gang Orca with a SFX I can't read before we cut away. This better not be implying what I thing it's implying.

I know he's dying and still on fire for some reason but Hawks looks really soft in this panel.

Oh and Dabi is upset with Geten for obvious reasons, but then he say "let's begin early" BEGIN WHAT EARLY YOU BURNT GREMLIN?!!?

I don't know how I feel about that. The "Fumi apparently being okay with Hawks killing someone" not the "Please don't die". I would very much like for Hawks to not die as well. I'll probably make a desperate post about it later after I think about. Maybe. If I feel like it.

Re-Destro is asking for his legs since DS broke the last pair. One of his goons calls out to him in a worried tone. Hmm what seems to be the problem now?

Fuck.

Oh well. Guess everyone finna die. At least the kids aren't there. Wait. Where the FUCK is Sun Eater???

I'm very concerned about what will happen next. Are we gonna go back to the hospital, stay at the mansion, or cut to The Boys in the city? IS GANG ORCA DEAD? I need answers DAMNIT!

Until next time.

S01E01 - Ken Sarukenka

[vaporwave lo-fi song]

Souji: Testing? Hello?

Ken: Yo? Sounds like it's working to me!

Souji: Ok. There we go.

[INTRO - glitchy transition music]

Souji: Hello, and welcome to the Souji Show. I'm Souji and this is a show where I talk about anything I want. 'Cause this is my show, and not yours.

Souji: This episode is sponsored by the peanut butter in Reese’s cups. They have the taste and the texture of a vitamin-enriched paste you squeeze from a tube directly into your mouth when you’ve been living in a bunker for 30 years because aliens invaded and it’s your birthday treat. Thank you Reese’s!

[MAIN - glitchy transition music]

Souji: For this very special, first-ever episode, we have a very special guest. You may know him as The Howler, or the other Ken, but to me, he's my monkey boy. Everyone, give it up for Ken Sarukenka!

Ken: Indeed, none other than the fantastical Ken Sarukenka.

Souji: Now Ken, tell everyone about yourself. Where are you from? What motivated you to go to Kyoranki? All that jazz.

Ken: I was born and raised in Kyoto and moved to Osaka around the start of middle school and been here ever since, my parents are Ippei and Meiko Sarukenka, better known as Great Ape and Statue, I am also a two time winner of middle school nationals in gymnastics, I was motivated to become a hero because all my life people around me have been heroes, my parents used to be, my brother is one and I choose this school because my brother graduated from here and it's reputation!

Souji: So, both your parents and brother are heroes. Was the decision to enrol at Kyoranki one you made on your own? Or was there added pressure from your family? How did they react when you got the acceptance letter?

Ken: Well, both my parents retired shortly I came into the world, I wouldn't say any of them pressured me but being overshadowed isn't very nice, yakno? I think it was mostly expected in a way, mostly because of my family really.

Souji: Speaking of being overshadowed, do you feel that you have the need to surpass your family in a way?

Ken: Yes, I feel that I have to surpass every single one of, my parents, my brothers I can't be remembered as the second or third best in my family, yakno? [dead serious tone]

Souji: O-ok. What was it like growing up with famous parents? Did people recognise you at all?

Ken: Well, growing up with famous people isn't anything special to me I get recognised every now and then, I met a bunch of other celebrities, I met a bunch of old guard heroes and a few newer once through my brother but it's not anything extreme I'd say. I'm more likely to get recognised now probably after I ended up on the news!

Souji: Speaking of being in the news, the Osaka Rising Star featured your fight at the provisional licence exams. Now I've heard from a little birdie that you didn't have the best time at the exams. Can you tell the listeners more about that? And what are your plans going forward?

Ken: Well... uh what can I say, I'll do the remedial courses and show the speaker that he was wrong to fail me right from the get go so he can go to sleep every night thinking that he almost stopped this world seeing the shining star of tomorrow! As for plans, train, complete remedial course and push forward the keys to everything in life.

Souji: Care to share on how you're planning to do that? What sets your apart from the rest of the Sarukenka heroes?

Ken: It's hard to say, are a bit different but if anything I'd say what sets me apart is the fact that I am none other than I and that I won't stop before I stand out even among them!

Souji: That's a very Ken answer. I respect that. [chuckle]

Ken: There is no other answers than the Ken answer, Souji. [little laugh]

Souji: Speaking of a shining star, let's shine the spotlight back towards the main focus of his podcast - me! Now, Ken, it's your turn to ask me questions. C'mon, don't be shy, ask anything you'd like.

[ASK SOUJI - glitchy transition music]

Ken: Well, I guess I'll throw the ball right back at you, why do you want to be a hero? Is it only because of Starlight or is there something more and how do you intend to stand out in this world filled with people like yours truly!

Souji: To catch the listeners up, I'm a big fan of Starlight. I guess I never considered a career in being a hero until I saw that special documentary episode of Speak with Starlight, what captivated me was his fans, there were a lot of them, each and everyone admired him and his heroic deeds and seeing the praise and attention that his fans are giving him, it sure was tempting. [laugh]

Ken: Inspiration is good, it helps you realise things doesn't it? Not everyone grows up in a family like mine where you are exposed to things the same way I was and I can surely see how it was tempting, I have been tempted by the shining lights that I have been surrounded with myself.

Souji: Inspiration can come from unexpected places, it's true that little things inspire us.

Ken: Indeed, I once felt inspired by watching a squirrel climb a tree! They always look like they are so free and have so much fun, so why shouldn't I do the same?

Souji: I'm great at climbing trees, we should really climb some one day.

Ken: I'd be down!

Souji: In all honesty, it was the fame and money that made me want to become a hero. It's a bit narcissistic, I know, but it is what it is. But during my time here, I saw what happened to the people around us. I want to be a helping hand in making a difference in people’s lives. Plain and simple. My family's poor so the money's still my number one motivator but it makes me happy knowing that I'll make the city a little bit better for everyone living in it.

Ken: I ain't gonna fault anyone's reasoning, being a hero is a profession after all just like being a policeman, fireman, doctor and so on, the only difference is the spotlight and the persona. Hopefully, you can throw your family a bone once you hit it off, eh?

Souji: Of course, I want to give back as much as I can. They might not be around as much, but I know they still want the best of me. Also, I want to travel. I've been stuck in Osaka for most of my life, and I love the city, don't get me wrong, but I just want to see what's out there.

Ken: Travelling is nice, but home is where the heart is wouldn't you agree?

Souji: Yeah, I wouldn't trade Osaka for anything. [pensive pause] Well, that got sentimental. Let's move on to our audience questions! These were submitted by our classmates in our group chat. Ready? Ok.

[Qs from the GC - glitchy transition music]

Souji: Fumi wants to know do you like bananas?

Ken: I like bananas in things but not really a huge fan if they are on, it's alright.

Souji: Kotoe wants to know your favourite genre of music.

Ken: My favourite genre of music is pop or rap, if it has a nice beat or a dramatic feeling I am usually down.

Souji: Kichiro asks, can you talk to monkeys?

Ken: No, I cant talk to monkeys believe it or not.

Souji: Taka inquires, does Ken-san take inspiration from Sun Wukong? That's some Chinese stuff, right?

Ken: Yeah my costume is mostly inspired by him, so his name hero name which means that one day soon I will be the Great Sage who rivals the Heavens!

Souji: Great Sage who Rivals the Heavens. [chuckles] Wow, that's quite the mouthful. We might have to workshop that Ken.

Ken: Yeah... A bit too long probably. [snicker]

Souji: I don't have any suggestions on the top of my head, but please don't pick a weird hero name like Monkey Boy, or worse - Monkey King! Plus, to be a sage, wouldn't you actually have to be, you know, wise?

Ken: In what world is that worse? I think you're going crazy over here and who says you need to be wise to be a sage? Not that it matters I am clearly the wisest person here!

Souji: Ken, that's literary its meaning, sage means wise. Well, it does sound very flashy, but maybe a bit too arrogant maybe? I mean, you can't even talk to monkeys, how can you call yourself the monkey king. You can still be Monkey Ken, though.

Ken: What do you think would be better then? I think Monkey King is a perfect fit if you ask me!

Souji: How about trying some alliteration?

Ken: Pfft, alliterations are overrated anyway.

Souji: I'm not sure if it's final but I was thinking my hero name to be the Neon Ninja. See, it's short, simple and easy to remember.

Ken: Neon Ninja? Sound like a flopped comic or video game, ain't ever gonna pack the punch you'd need it to!

Souji: Of course it sounds lame, that’s the point. You have to start from the ground up. Once people know your deeds as a hero, that’s where it becomes cool. Do you think Starlight’s name was cool when he just started out? No, man. Who name’s themselves Starlight? But, it became cool. I’ll make the Neon Ninja cool.

Ken: Starlight packs more punch than Neon Ninja though! His is like cool and mysterious, yours just sound like a old school retro game people forgot about, why'd you ever wan to sound lame?! Whatever you say, if you prove me wrong I'll eat my words but if you can't I'll be there laughing!

Souji: How about this. Why would anyone want to name a technology company Apple? It's not cool, or futuristic, it's lame. But with time, people liked their product and the name got cooler. See? It might seem lame now, but just give it some time. Like grapes and wine.

Ken: I don't know, maybe something about the apple of knowledge and all that jazz? Didn't really play attention in religion class, so I ain't too sure but either way I think something more high impact is better!

Souji: Let's just agree to disagree, monkey boy. Finally, Haruto wants to know if do you know da wae?

Ken: I know my way, perhaps its the right way for others as well just follow along for the ride and see!

Souji: Well, we're nearing the end of our the show, Ken, is there anything you'd like to remind our audience, maybe plug whenever they can find you online?

Ken: Hmm, well I do guess I could plug some things I am on [X-Social Media platforms] with [X-User names] feel free to follow me!

Souji: You've been pretty cool to talk to, so before you leave, I have a special surprise just for you. I've embroidered it myself, and the shirt is from a downtown thrift store.

Ken: Ooooh. You really didn't need to do that, but I love it, it's adorable!

Souji: Thank you for being my first guest, Ken. It means a lot.

Ken: I don't know what else you'd expect, it's always cool talking to me isn't it?

Souji: To keep with the show follow me @thesoujishow, and to support my small clothing business, follow @glitchgear on all social media platforms. Once again, this has been Ken Sarukenka and Souji Yoshihiro, and you’ve been listening to the Souji Show! A show where I talk about anything I want. 'Cause this is my show, and not yours. Until next time. Insert catchphrase here.
