#no names just vibes

[daily-hyosatsu]

So I have a (somewhat goofy) kanji name to use for websites that don't accept kana names, because that's not that uncommon even in the year of our Lord 2024. But I recently encountered something really unusual, something I hadn't seen in nigh on 15 years of living here: a website that required my birth year in the Japanese calendar! As a required field. Wild. Do you know what year you were born?

You probably know that in addition to the Western calendar 西暦 [せいれき], Japan also uses 和暦 [われき] (or 年号 [ねんごう]), which are eras named after the reigning emperor. So when you have to write the date in any official documentation, you often see this.

(Cropped from a random medical intake form on Google Images.)

This a standard field for birthdate, or 生年月日 [せいねんがっぴ]. The characters 明・大・昭・平・令 each stand for an era.

明 for 明治 Meiji, 1868–1912

大 for 大正 Taishō, 1912–1926

昭 for 昭和 Shōwa, 1926–1989

平 for 平成 Heisei, 1989–2019

令 for 令和 Reiwa, 2019 to present

(Plus sometimes 西 for 西暦 )

As an example, I've filled it out for a fire rabbit (a 1987 baby! a very good year), born on tumblr's favorite holiday.

That's Heisei 62 for the year 年, November for the month 月, and 5th for the day 日, giving an age of 36 years (36歳 [さんじゅうろくさい]) and 4 months (４ヶ月 [よんかげつ]).

So what's to stop you from just writing the Western year? Generally, nothing! Lots of people do it (I think). Just make sure to write all four digits to avoid confusion with the one- or two-digit Japanese years and you should be okay....... Except for this one, once in 1.5 decades form that actually made it the required format. I wish I'd thought to take a screenshot! Now I can't even remember where it was because I'm working 12-hour days and my brain is broken!

In conclusion, you can look your birth year up here! The site may look pretty barebones, but it's very useful for converting Japanese numbers, traditional units, etc.

P.S. - I was going to end this post with a birth year poll (because I love polls), but once I started to make it, I realized that anyone who isn't Heisei or Shōwa is basically either a preschooler or a centenarian and is probably not on this website. Oh well.

I just discovered Jack O’Connell was in 300: Rise of an Empire and ahhhhhh if I wasn’t convinced already he is big inspo for Elaena’s husband now I’m fully sold.

#filling this on my tag #aemond’s children #my oc: elaena targaryen #don’t mind me I’m just dumping musings of my ocs to indulge in delusion #the way I have the children’s lives all mapped out and yet it’s their partners who all have faceclaims #but NO NAMES #LMAO #no names just vibes #and children of their own

I know I'm a broken record at this point about how functionally useless editing software has become since AI integration (read: corrections are now being suggested based on user input, not actual grammar rules), but there's nothing quite like a piece of writing software flagging something you've written as an error, and then when you click on it, it can't tell you what the error is.

Just that it thinks something is wrong.

It's like the writing equivalent of the "you better watch out!" meme.

Watch our for what? Nobody knows, but you better watch out!

#this time it's Word's native editor flagging Vlad's name as incorrect #not that it's spelled wrong #just that it's 'incorrect' #how is it incorrect? #it cannot tell me #the vibes are apparently just off #the vibes are wrong #but that's not stopping Word from yelling about it

Love how in BG3 you can play as a more or less redeemable Durge and still say the most deranged shit possible

#baldur's gate 3 #halsin #dark urge #his name is zane and he was supposed to be fully evil #but I couldn’t commit so he just has a rancid vibe #still a maniac but tries to aim it at people who at least did something to deserve it #so kudos to him I guess? #bg3

Danny's found a way to dodge GIW trackers, as well as his parents. Their equipment hunts ghosts, ghosts run on emotion; so as long as he keeps his under a tight lid and doesn't feel anything ever, they won't be able to track him.

It works!

He's able to run from them, and goes as far as New Jersey. The plan was to stow away on a ship, and go to literally any country that wasn't America. He goes to Gotham, which hosts the one harbor he knows where no one will ask any questions.

But because of how weird he acted (completely emotionless during a Joker attack), he was fingered by police immediately.

He's handed over to CPP. CPP doesn't know what to do with a teen literally so traumatized that they don't show any emotion at all, ever. He keeps just...walking out of his placements. Just leaves without a sound.

Luckily, he's always caught, due to those placement houses having quiet alarms and him refusing to run.

They call the one foster parent they know who does.

Bruce Wayne takes in the strange, nameless kid who refuses to talk.

On paper, they gave him the filler name of 'John Doe', for lack of anything better to do.

Bruce does everything he can to make the newest arrival feel at home. Damian, for as territorial as he is, actually breaks out of his shell sooner than expected just to try to get the new kid to speak. To emote. To do something. Duke tries the open approach, then tries the 'no one will ever know, everyone thinks I'm an innocent goody-two-shoes' approach. Nada.

Tim even tries to trick him into talking, but nothing works.

Enter Dick; Dick heard about Bruce's new ward, about the situation, and decided to see if he could get the kid to open up.

Danny though. Danny's in trouble.

The Wayne Manor is weirdly secure, and he can't just walk away like he did his other placements. He can't use ghost powers or the GIW and his parents will immediately know where he is.

He really, really wants to take Bruce up on his offer and just spend the day relaxing. Respond to Damian's attempts to provoke him. Overshare about space facts with Tim.

But most of all, he really, desperately wants to get in a Pun Competition with Dick. He wants to laugh at Dick's jokes, and learn coolass gymnastic tricks!

But he can't!

If he relaxes with Bruce, he'll be content, which is an emotion. If he argues with Damian, he'll get annoyed, which is an emotion. If he sneaks out with Duke and breaks the rules, he'll get happy, which, again, emotion. If he overshares with Tim, he'll get excited, which is, yet again, an emotion!

The worst sin of all, he can't even show proper appreciation of the food the Butler keeps making him!

And now there's even more people coming over!

There's a quiet girl who keeps reading his body language and trying to get him to dance ballet, a blonde girl who keeps trying to kidnap him to take him to BatBurger, a guy with a stripe of white who wants to take him to a shooting range, and it just...he really, really wants to!

He wants to do all these cool things with them!

But he fucking can't!

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #danny vibes with dick the most #not that anyone knows that #breaks his little ghost heart that he can't have that pun competition #meanwhile bruce absolutely is running facial recognition #and hitting government firewalls and keeps having to shake off digital tracers #trying to find out who wanted that information #he smells a mystery #and he wants those answer #if cannot get them from their resident Doe #then he'll get it from whoever tortured the boy into silence #sidenote Damian just called Danny Doe instead of John #and danny responded to it quicker because it started with a “D” #that was noticed #now everyone just calls him Doe until his name is found

listen i think we should bring back some of the like 2012-2015 era pjo memes and trends so the show folks can get a taste of what the fandom was like back then.

Persassy, "fish jesus," Soldatino, some of the popular ships from then just for fun (remember when Travis Stoll x Katie Gardner was a thing? the extremely brief period of time when people shipped Jason x Butch Walker because Butch is described with "a face like a pile of bricks" so it was a convoluted Brason joke?). i hear people are calling show percabeth "smartwater" so that's coming back already, that's fun. there's potential here.

#pjo #riordanverse #pjo tv #literally just for laughs #and also cause that was the last time the fandom was consistantly thriving #so it will truly be a revival of the vibe of that era #especially since you have so many old big-fandom-name artists coming back right now too #and because we have knowledge of the future we can just. not bring back the memes we didnt like #this is also once again me asking people to make more askblogs cough cough #listen nothing truly gets that 2012-2015 tumblr era vibe like askblogs

You start out thinking Shane is the zany cryptid and Ryan is the sane one. And then you learn more about Ryan.

And you realize they are the same level of insane in different directions.

So you think ah, it must be Steven then! He's the genius businessman who keeps the ghoul boys in line. He must be the sane one.

And then you learn more about Steven.

#right now I'm thinking it's gotta be Mark or Carter #leaning toward Carter #he gives off strong “random NPC the d&d party adopted and will not let go home” vibes #they isekaied the poor bastard #watcher #watcher entertainment #ghost files #ryan and shane #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim #ah fuck what's mark's last name #can't just tag mark #have random marks in here goofin up the place #mark watcherentertainment #yeah that works #carter doesn't need a last name #like cher

Okay yall hot take but I love aftg's boring names. If Andrew had been named Rowan or Knox or some shit i would've hated him. He needed his basic old man name and 5'0 height to humble him

#don't get me started on kevin #if he had some suave cool name the vibes just wouldn't be the same im sorry #aftg #andrew minyard

#Saw a man bite straight through a chicken bone on YouTube. #I was gripped. In awe. #A jaw strength rivaled only by - I thought to myself - Present Mic #can't even remember how I got onto the video but it's stuck with me ever since #he had a captivating positive vibe. I would enjoy a meal with him. The chicken looked a little underdone though #bnha #mha #shouta aizawa #hizashi yamada #present mic #bnha comic #not even technically a comic this bad boy is two slides #always thinking about the rooftop gang naming Sushi like 'whats everyones favourite food?' #and Yamada says 'fried chicken' like that would be the best name for a cat- actually. you know what. that is a pretty good name for a cat #Might call my next tarantula Fried Chicken. Who knows? #Edited the last panel to take out the speech bubble cause it looked like I was implying it was weird to eat bone marrow #But I meant the entire bone itself like the crunchy bit #But apparently they do that in some places so I thought that it might come across as a bit insensitive and I didnt wanna get cancelled. #eat bones if you want I would love to eat bones but I'm a coward #It's not really a thing in the UK I don't think. I've never seen anyone do it. I guess we just produce a lot of food waste. #so nobody was going to tell me you could eat bones? I just had to find out myself on Youtube?
