#such a weird fact to drop

[rays-of-fire-and-ice]

Don't quote me on this but japanese speakers on Twitter are freaking out over a question that Kubo answered on Bleach's official fan club (Klub outside). Hitsugaya is actually older than Hinamori. I don't speak Japanese so not too sure about it.

I'll preface this post by saying, like anon, do not quote me on any of this. I saw something big seemed to be happening in the Twitter fandom and just used Google translate to find out.

With that said, I saw the Japanese fandom freaking out about it yesterday. I didn't bring it up here because I also don't read or speak Japanese, so Google translate gave me some....interesting translations. However, the general gist is that it seems someone asked on Klub Outside a question regarding Hitsugaya's age and Kubo has said Hitsugaya is older than Hinamori. Needless to say, my reaction was basically this:

All this time it's been implied again and again that, while not specific about the number of years, Hitsugaya was the younger one of the two, and I'm not just talking about his height and appearance. Some have interpreted the way Hinamori treated him when they were younger is that of someone who's younger than her, and then of course there's the whole 'Shiro-chan' thing, so yeah, I was pretty bamboozled when I saw this.

If it turns out this is truly the case and canon, then seriously Kubo just drops these facts and let's the fandom freak out about them XD I don't know if he's just trolling, if he doesn't know just how much hitsuhina fans would freak out, or if he knows exactly what he's doing and expected this.

As for me, if this turns out to be true, it'll take a bit of rewiring because 1) I've shipped them for over 10 years and you tend to build up a pretty solid perception of the characters and ship over a time period like that (that being, in humans years, I headcanoned that Hitsugaya was 13-15 years and Hinamori was 16-17 years old),2) it's a pretty big fact to just causally give to the fans. Up until now (and for the foreseeable future until someone can translate the answer).

Honestly though, unless he's significantly older than her (I'm talking, like, if he's hundreds of years older, like he should actually be an adult by this point but for whatever reason he's stuck in the body of a teenager), it doesn't affect my perception of Hitsugaya and Hinamori all that much. While there were certainly fics I wrote where I had their ages in mind (ie Hitsugaya being the younger and Hinamori the older one), for the most part it has been a big factor for me while I was writing fanfic for them. It'd just mean I'd have to go with a timeline, based on my theories and headcanons about how each of them came to be in Soul Society, that looks more like this:

Hitsugaya was born in the Soul Society. Granny, whether related to him or not, took him in and raised him.

Some years or so later, Momo arrives in the Rukongai, having died in the World of the Living as a child.

Toshiro, still a young child because of how slow Soul's age in the Soul Society, meets her not long after she arrives in the Junrinan. This would techincally make him older than her even though, in human years, she was older than him when she died and came to the Soul Society.

However, until I see the answer get translated by a credible source (ie. someone who has translated answers before and hasn't receive many corrections on their translations), I'm still going to see Hitsugaya as the younger one between him and Hinamori. Again, it doesn't really affect how I see them or their relationship all that much if it turns out it was the other way around.

literature is to andrew what exy is to neil.

and neil is a god of literature the way andrew is a god of exy.

#neil is apathetic about books when his words can rival poets and andrew is apathetic about exy when his saves can rival pros #they both hate each other's apathy over easily having what they desire yet instead of making them enemies it draws them to each other #aftg #neil josten #andrew minyard #honestly the fact that we can still find weird dynamics between these two goes far to say how perfect they are for each other #i love them sm #ok time to go back to dropping off the surface of the earth bye #all for the game #andreil #blue's bs

#chapter sixty seven ruins me every day #but yeah i. have many thoughts #Laios feeding his hungry sister. playing with her hair. and then putting her down. Marcille compares it to sleeping #but his reaction and the fact that he spared Marcille from doing it.... it must have felt very much like tucking her in to sleep #and like what it was: suffocating her. keeping her from saying his name again. killing her. #both at once. #also just. Falin being covered with blood when she's resurrected. but when Laios kills her the only blood is his #and there's not a drop of it on her #something about Laios telling her the red in her cheeks was weird when they were kids. and keeping any of that spilling now. #yeah. when he said he'd do anything to get her back he meant ANYTHING!!! #Alt text #my art #for real tho. please send me the post if you know it so i can link it i can't find it anywhere love you tumblr search dysfunction #and if anyone else wants to go crazy with me about chapter sixty seven well!!! you know where i am!!! #dunmeshi spoilers #dungeon meshi spoilers #delicious in dungeon spoilers

posts I've seen recently that i like and agree with but just don't have the balls to reblog because the potential of inviting a blog curse is too real:

1) Steven universe was a good show and the level of hate was weird

2) fuck astr*logy

#the desire to be public with opinions vs the fear of weird anons #m2a #with Steven universe i had absolutely zero fandom involvement or interest so it's all stuff i hear second hand after the fact #i never even finished future. because I'm a ghoul who drops good shows for no reason when my attention span fails. #so as someone who just like. watched a show. hearing the reasons it was 'controversial' is outright ridiculous #as for astr*logy yeah fuck that shit

Now what if Tôshirô had brown eyes and brown hair before he died in the human world?

#bleach #toshiro histugaya #hitsugaya toshiro #toushirou hitsugaya #hitsugaya toushirou #Kubo keeps dropping the weirdest lore about him #Did you know he was older than momo? Wtf wtf #And he had a bankai before joining the gotei? #Wtf kubo #Tosh is such a weird little guy #I might draw my headcanon about his past life one day #Happy Birthday Tôshirô!!! ✨🥳🎉❄️🦁 #Also fun (?) fact #Tôshirô's name is written with the kanjis 冬 (tou - winter) 獅 (shi - lion) #And 郎 (rou - super common kanji at the end of boys' names - basically means son or boy) #So he has a super cool name that means winter lion #Now when I was stuck studying kanjis #I found an homophone of winter lion (toushi) which is 凍死 #It's probably a coincidence but 凍死means death by hypothermia #So there's that

Xingqiu fans are dining excellently with all the references to him and lore regarding the Guhua Clan being spotlighted via Chenyu Vale's "A Wangshan Walk to Remember." The comparisons that can be made between Xingqiu and his predecessors is also very fascinating...

The Grand Master Guhua truly did live out the life of idealized dignity and transparency just as Xingqiu desires for himself. There's something very touching and heartbreaking about the fact that Guhua's life was one deemed heroic, but he was only able to have his legacy carried on by Boxuan who cast his own name aside to exhalt the name of the deceased Guhua.

And then right after briefly recounting the life and works of Master Guhua, Wen brings up Xingqiu, reemphasizing the lofty ideal/hope that he can respark the dying flame of the Guhua (no pressure) and potentially act as a parallel to the founder of the art himself. It's made all the more poignant, considering that we could easily draw the connection that Chongyun could be considered Xingqiu's potential Boxuan equivalent, a fellow young practitioner of martial arts who acts as a peer and supporter of Xingqiu's arts (although lets hope Xingqiu doesn't die preemptively like Guhua did).

I don't have snippets of the dialogue for it or screenshots, but those books in the archive room were just so lovely to see. The fact that many of the old disciples of Guhua were just nerds like Xingqiu and enamored with wuxia novels, shelving their discussions of them among all of the records they held in their library was so sweet.

Additionally, the person who invented the Rain Cutter technique that Xingqiu uses now was the one involved with the hidden Wangshan chambers that had the really forboding message about the heavens rejecting humanity and whatnot... very mysterious stuff.

Additionally, those 5 swords scattered around Chenyu Vale, the first of which you find at the outskirts of the Wangshan Chamber....while not necessarily all individuals of the Guhua Clan, it made me oddly emotional to see how the years that went by, depicted by each sword's material- from a blade to a crude sword shaped stick- and yet they all had in common a very poetic observation of their goals and the world about them that could easily flow as a singular nature/travelling-based poem. And that spirit of poetry intertwined with swordsmanship flourishing across the ages still continues on with this one dorky rich boy. It's honestly wonderful worldbuilding, that through environmental storytelling and the mere mentions of a character who was never even present for the entirety of the world quest, all of these stories and records of Guhua disciples and swordsmen before him tell me all I need to know about Xingqiu as a character, too.

#definitely would like to do more rereading of the texts within the Guhua library + those weird inscriptions #these lore drops were so cool #currently caught up in the profound nature of multiple generations united in their love for art- poetry- swordplay- idealism of heroism etc #the joy of community but also the loss of having a space in which your passions can be taken seriously and allow you to grow into the #desired version of yourself #the fact that xingqiu is considered a light in the darkness for the current Guhua elders yet he practices his art as part of a double life #all while the wangshan chamber crumbles- very symbolic #suppression and isolation kills passion #genshin impact meta #semi incoherent most likely as I am sleepy but I had to get my thoughts out #genshin impact #genshin 4.4 #genshin 4.4 spoilers #xingqiu #a wangshan walk to remember

There's so many things i wanna say re: informed consent and aftercare in regards to ttrpgs and other roleplay situations but i can not get the ideas in the right order. Gonna give it my best shot though.

A lot of people who suck have been yelling on tiktok about consent surveys and checkins becoming more popular with mainstream DnD. And like- it's just like in bdsm really. You gotta know what you're getting into, provide continuous consent to it, and have a way out if it gets to be too much. The only real difference between sexily pretending to be someone's maid or whatever and pretending to be an orc in a massive collaborative storytelling session is the content of the pretending and how likely anyone involved is gonna get their rocks off to it. It's still the same kind of effect on the brain and you're gonna be processing emotions that come from that. It's super important to know exactly what to expect and be able to set hard (and soft) boundaries about what you are and are not ok with experiencing there.

There's a reason safewords are considered so important in a lot of bdsm circles even when the scene isn't a situation where a plain "no" might go ignored. It's an immediate stop and return to the real world outside of the play. Having that in non-sexy rp is an amazing tool. It lets the gm or other players know "hey this needs to stop now" without having to say those words or worry about whether it's a full stop or a pause. It pulls everyone out immediately and gets them on the same level. I think anyone who's unexpectedly encountered more than they could handle in a game can appreciate the ability to do that.

The thing I haven't seen talked about as much as that though is the concept of aftercare. Like, especially in high rp settings where emotions are running high you gotta be able to take the time afterward to calm down. You need to be able to talk to your friends and remember you're playing a game, they still care about you even if your character and theirs just tried to murder each other. Maybe it doesn't get talked about much cause there's no real word for it that doesn't have the sex connotation but we really should be. I've seen first hand how dropping after intense rp can hurt someone and leave them not wanting to continue playing. You gotta make room to take care of your friends. Especially in online gaming where you can't exactly just hand them a slice of pizza and tell them how well they did acting and how much you love them.

I don't know how to end this. I've just been thinking a lot about these things. I'm glad consent forms and check ins are becoming more normalized in the gaming space. Good for everyone that that's happening even if the old guard dudebros are pissed off about it

#long post #dungeons and dragons #ttrpg #i can't exactly tag it with the other stuff or it'll vanish from the search #and i want people to see this #fun fact the most intense post-game drop ive seen was due to rping in minecraft #hell i've experienced it from character to character rp on this very site #it can happen in any roleplay situation #take care of your friends they're so so important #it's weird i'm asexual and have no interest in that type of play irl but it is fascinating to me #brain go brrr #i could write whole essays on this given the time and research but i should sleep

As someone with ADHD, you know you're fucking exhausted when you're not even fidgeting. :'D

#I'm literally just sitting here. listening to shit. I usually need to fidget or do something while doing that but no. I'm just staring off #into space. At the creature that I'm dogsitting. #he's exhausting too but it's mostly from the fact that I did a lot of physical labor in horrible boots and now my lower body is dead #I mean this creature eats anything and everything off the ground. One walk and I had to pull 4 acorns. 7 leaves. 5 rocks from this #idiot's mouth. he's not allowed off leash because he just bolts as well. He's sweet but I'm pretty sure there's just a walnut rattling #around in his head lol. I genuinely worry about this dog because...He genuinely has a deathwish #speaking of which. if anyone knows how to teach your own dog how to stand up for herself I would appreciate it :'D #I give my own dog. my sweet girl Mocha. a treat and this little guy starts hopping up and biting at her mouth until she drops HER treat #and then he runs away with it! And I'm like “sweetie. why are you letting him treat you like that?!?!” #yes I separate them when I give treats but still :'( My girl is too sweet for this cruel world. #She's so sweet and brings her OWN toys up to him so they can play together and he just runs away with them and growls at her. #They're HER doggy toys!!! #I know I'm complaining a lot. He's not that bad but also... My Mocha. (also he chases the cats. we have shit blocked so they can #have their own space and be safe and a space for him but oof) #Mad rambles #Mad vents #I'm mostly still recovering from those horrid boots as we realized once I took them off that they basically were at a weird slope.

anastasia is actually first on my list cause i haven't seen/listened to it yet

you guys are gonna hate me for this, but i haven't seen/listened to wicked yet... i always thought that maybe it's not exactly my thing but i also feel like i need to give it a try, cause it's a classic that everybody loves

i wanna see the great comet live please that would cure my broken soul (or just give me the bootleg with phillipa soo lol i don't think it exists)

i also need to listen to the rest of dave malloy's musicals, cause i only listened to those you can find on spotify (so ghost quartet, the great comet, preludes & octet - would love to see all of them live, especially ghost quartet, that would be an experience) - clown bible is first on my list

once - i've never seen the movie or the play but i absolutely love the song falling slowly from it so i guess i would love the musical as well

camelot with phillipa soo, because she's my wife & i would die for her

but also into the woods with phillipa soo because i couldn't find it anywhere & i don't even know if it was ever recorded

from the new ones i'd really love to see the notebook cause i've heard a lot of good things about it & i also love the movie so i bet the musical must be really good

also, the great gatsby with eva noblezada... my second wife. i really, really need to see this one

...those are just off the top of my head, but i am always open for suggestions, if you think i should watch/listen to something cause i may like it, just let me know!

#in fact i wanted to write a post the other day like #just recommend me a musical #drop the title in my inbox & force me to watch it #there are a lot of musicals i haven't seen yet & like i said i am always open for suggestions #also sorry for being super chaotic lol #but it's usually just like that for me: i watch a bootleg then i come back to the cast album a few days/weeks later & i become obsessed #waitress is a great example tbh #i watched the proshot & absolutely fell in love with it #but i am streaming the album just now because i needed time #& i finally became fully obsessed #i'm weird i know #anyway #recommend me a musical if you want #anon #i saved every letter you wrote me*
