The indescribable emotional gut punch of the fact that Sol's Master Ghost, aka the literal manifestation of his soul and selfhood given tangible form, is a human figure being held down and restrained by literal gears and put on display. Hiii whoever designed the ghosts where are you I just wanna talk (like I know Sol's self-loathing has been a regular undercurrent for the whole series but man just putting it front and center like that c'mon...)

Sol's Masterghost is so fucked up why did they do that to him. There's creator commentary in the GG2O Material Collection book from Daisuke and Junya C. Motomura on this thing. I'll translate them.

Daisuke Ishiwatari:

Essentially, a Master Ghost reflects the personality and background of its Master in some way. In Sol's case, the challenge was to create a strong design that would reflect his signature fire motif and the heavy burden of the fate he carries with him. As is a common concept throughout Sol's Tribe, we avoided incorporating animals and people in order to express his cold and blunt personality. This was also done to avoid making Sol's commands to his units seem heartless or callous.

Junya C. Motomura:

This is the first Master Ghost that I was tasked with designing. To be honest, I had a hard time grasping what a "Master Ghost" should look like, and I got lost. I drew many concept sketches and did rough modeling in 3D, tweaking the balance and composition, and placed familiar parts from Sol's designs here and there to tie it back to him, with a focus on the "gear" metaphor, which was the main keyword of the entire design. The black figure in the center of the human barbecue is not Sol, but Frederick; Sol before he became a Gear. The idea is that he is someone who got tangled in a gear and is now trapped. I laughed a lot when people called it "grilled grovelling"^1 on the internet right after the game released.

1: 焼き土下座 (yaki-dogeza) - "Dogeza" is that deep bowing where one's face is all but pressed against the ground. 焼き (yaki) (grilled/roasted/baked), as in "yakisoba," "dorayaki," "yaki-imo," etc.

Happy biiiiirthdaaaaay Hitsugayaaaa お誕生日おめでとう！

Would you like to start your day with tea with your vice-captain:

Presented here in my cup that in 2020 was re-christened "the Hitsugaya cup <3" and will likely remain so forevermore, and in a duck cup my co-blogger gave to me this year, and which I immediately put into fanfic as "Matsumoto's weird cup" because I absolutely love it. I would excerpt the scene, but it turns out Hinamori's thoughts about the cup are interspersed within a lot of other stuff, so just know that it's Matsumoto's Weird Duck Cup.

For lunch, can I interest you in some oyaki??

Oyaki are a regional food from Nagano, which is an interior mountain region in Japan, a few hours west of Tokyo. I've been there exactly once, but I absolutely loved it, because MOUNTAINS and SUBARU COUNTRY:

Because of this+its westerly general location+Hitsugaya and Hinamori's names I model my version of Junrinan off of it (though the main village we see is in the flatlands, not the mountains themselves). I also HC that Isshin sent Hitsugaya off to Actual Nagano for his Gotei hazing/30-day walkabout in the Living World, because he knew it would feel similar to Junrinan.

Oyaki are dumplings, traditionally cooked with irori, or those traditional square stove pits you see in the middle of people's houses in old-timey anime. I do not have one of those so I made mine the way you'd make any other dumpling, in a frying pan on a stove, frying first and then steaming. You can freeze them to re-steam later, which is what I did this weekend. These ones have miso eggplant and bamboo shoot in them, because that's what I had, though the only oyaki I have written into fanfic have pickled mustard greens in them.

I would excerpt that, but Hitsugaya is not actually in most of that scene, doesn't say a single thing when he is, and the narrating POV (Kensei) doesn't care about him. So I will instead say that in the scene, the gang is making oyaki at Matsumoto's direction, because she's a well-traveled No Reservations type who's familiar with Junrinan cooking. It's an intentional choice and an act of care, and even if no one else in the scene knows it, least of all the narrator, Hitsugaya does.

And to round out the day, an afternoon potato snack?

Yaki imo aren't particularly Hitsugaya-related, I suppose, except that it's a fall/winter thing and his birthday is just before the winter solstice, and right at that turning point. And I did write him and Orihime eating potatoes together once. *I* associate them with walking around in the woods when it's cold as shit, which in my mind is Just Junrinan Things.

So I went for a celebratory birthday potato walk on Sunday! And got lost in the woods for a while. I say this as though I didn't have an Avenza map the entire time, but the trails are often less-trail like than 'there are blazes on trees sometimes' and it took a while to re-find the blazes in the dark. I had a second emergency potato with me should I have needed it, though!

The RKDD social media team dropping another short video of the trio without a warning: RonToto and Spitz. They know that we are thirsty. And hungry.

Seasonal voice videos by Ron (CV. #阿座上洋平 ), Toto (CV. #榎木淳弥 ), and Spitz (CV. #八代拓 ) have been released! ❄️ Please enjoy it 🍠

Spitz Feier brought RonToto some things. Baked sweet potatoes. 🍠 In Japan there are vendor carts selling these wares during autumn and winter. They are called yakiimo trucks.

—

Spitz Feier: Hey Ron-kun! Tototo! I bought baked sweet potatoes!

Toto: Spitz! Thank you!

Spitz: Ron, how about you? Toto, too! (Realising that there is an error) I don’t have one!

Toto: Forgot to buy another one for yourself?

Ron: (Probably both amused and confused, but very kind) Then I’ll do mine. (Yes, Ron, the Jack of all trades, cooking is chemistry, giving his portion to Toto.)

Spitz: It is okay, Ron. I’d like to eat with everyone! Wait a minute! A baked sweet potato shop cart! (He’s probably heard the vendor’s screams, “yaki-imo, ishi-yaki-imo.”) I'll come after you and buy one!

Toto: As expected (of Spitz)! You can rely on it even in a place like this! (The sweet potatoes trucks methinks.)

I wonder, where’s the setting.

We are starving and they provided.

FINALLY someone who didn't 100% love BES. I did enjoy some of it but I lean on the "disliked it on the whole" side and it's been so weird seeing everyone praise it to high heavens. I take it that you enjoyed it more than I did (I did not like a lot of the 3D visuals, unfortunately, so the visuals don't really redeem it for me), but I'd love to see some balanced takes from you anyway <3

anon, you're in good company! honestly i've been baffled by the blandly, one-note positive reception to this (30% of my grief has to do with BES's base story, and 70% has to do with uncritical fannish responses), because... to be uncharitable... I have some big problems with its construction. feel free to come off anon and kvetch in my DMs if you want, I'll probably share your sentiments. sorry for how long i've taken to answer this!

to be fair the show does some things right and I think its achievements/innovations in art style and animation are to be lauded; I'm not going to speak over that when I'm not an expert on animation or media theory, but it's a bad sign when praise about any media amounts to "well, it looks pretty" or hinges so heavily on its aesthetics. to be extremely clear this doesn't fully apply to BES, because it does have deft character work, compelling characters, and some impressive cinematic instantiation/inhabitation with its attention to setting and detail -- i was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of deets like yaki-ire etc etc. -- but even on its purported selling points of japanese historicity and nuanced narratives about race, sexuality, gender, revenge, etc. I think it fails. it has glaring blindspots.

tldr: BES suffers from some (white) american/french narratorial sensibilities that kneecap the full potential of its story

or: BES pinged as an insufferably american and/or ahistorical rendition of its japanese building-blocks to me in some ways

it's probably just a case of misaimed audiences, and This Show Not Being For Me, but I've been baffled by:

how seamlessly some scenes around sex work and brothels and eroticism in this show slide in with orientalist tropes about japan being the Weird Sex and Kinky country despite the japanese-american creator at its helm, who's also spoken out against tropes like that -- until a buddy gave some context that those undertones seem to have been inspired by bande dessinées (french comics) with not-unsimilar tropes that may have been transplanted carelessly into BES by the studio

and this is what I mean by 'american/french' sensibilities -- I don't mean american/french in the most skin-deep representational sense, as in the studio that made it is an american-french one or whatever, as 'representation' is too often conceived on tumblr to be limited to, but on the deeper epistemological level of its worldview, frameworks of sexuality/race, and the cultural terrain it's working off or conversing with. BES includes storylines/arcs/even mawkish dialogue far more reminiscent of those in american cartoons. which is not an issue except of one of taste, but fannish responses holding it up as a groundbreaking commentary on race are orbiting a different universe imo

more egregiously it sustains overtones of that american favourite about the grand, Super Existential! Super Inevitable! and intrinsic clash of Cultures and Civilisations with a big C (a highly discredited idea in critical academic circles now, thankfully, no thanks to samuel p. huntington)

I almost wish the show had maintained a greater separation from IRL analogues or just invented a fresh fantasy universe because why set it in edo-era japan if you're not going to engage with the sociocultural norms, or narratorial traditions of that era

see: literary genres around jitsuroku (revenge narratives), how revenge would have been treated as a tool of sociocultural legitimisation then, the apparent forgettance of the entire history of nanban trade and the fact that japan as a geographical entity was not technically ethnically homogeneous, or only homogeneous from a hegemonic pov, given the existence of the ainu, the kingdom of ryukyu, and northern communities of hokkaido although tbf japan's borders probably didn't include them

i was hoping for an internal critique of or just more nuance about the 'japan = ethnically homogenous' narrative in the show and was more disappointed as it went on -- imo it's a narrative often most stridently parroted by the japanese government for nation-building interests and by others to avoid interrogations of the actual complexity of striations, divisions, etc in japan e.g. with burakumin (lower-'caste'* peoples)

* note: caste is an imperfect and not fully accurate descriptor

a significant part of my ire is reserved for the handling of 'whiteness' in this show although it's mostly hand-wringing over the complexity of intended audiences in this show, which might not be fair to blame on the creators; yes, whiteness is foreign and Other and bad, but what about the material and historical precursors that gave rise to that Otherness in the first place, where are they?; and look! whiteness is demonised; but the cartoon's being released in the USA and europe. it's certainly true that japan is institutionally hostile to foreigners and xenophobic, kudos for depicting the politics of that, but BES's american audiences mean i'm ambivalent about its in-universe premise that what is in fact an oft-fetishised trait in mixed race children (blue eyes) is bad (and the show's aesthetics don't support it; mizu's eyes are portrayed in the most beautiful way possible even though she's diagetically meant to be hideous and monstrous)

It’s that time of year where I start thinking about Japanese baked sweet potatoes, known as Yaki Imo. Baked sweet potatoes in Japan are a cold season comfort food, traditionally wrapped in old newspapers as you eat them. Around this time of year, you get old men driving around pick up trucks selling these sweet potatoes as they yell “BAKED SWEET POTATOOOOOOOOOES” over a loudspeaker. It’s one of those things that doesn’t sound real, but it’s a normal part of what life was like for me back in Japan.

Kacchako Week: Day 1-Festivals

I wrote a bunch of stuff for kacchako week and then life got too busy, so I missed. So I thought I would post it here.

Katsuki sighs, wiping the sweat from his forehead, one hand on his hip, taking a small break. He hates days like this. Hot, loud, and full of people. Festivals just aren’t his type of thing. 

In fact, they are the exact opposite. 

But festivals are where the money is at, for people like him. His food stand has been doing pretty well. People really like his cooking, especially little kids. 

(He doesn’t know why. He’s not a fucking kid person, but the little demons seem to like him for some strange reason.)

Huffing, he cleans his utensils as he calls to the front of the stand. “Kirishima, how are we doing?” 

“We’re going to need more okonomiyaki. And we’re running pretty low on takoyaki,” the redhead yells back from where he’s taking people’s orders. 

Katsuki scowls. It’s great that they’re so popular…but as much as he absolutely loathes to admit it, Kirishima is better at making okonomiyaki than Katsuki is. It drives him insane that no matter how much he practices, he can’t get the same taste. 

Which means, they’re going to switch positions. Katsuki’s ultimate nightmare. He hates taking orders. 

But for the good of the stand. 

So they move around. Katsuki grabs the pad and pen, taking a deep breath. “What do you want?” 

“Could I get yaki imo?” 

The voice is light and airy. Katsuki looks up and is met with the roundest face he has ever seen. The woman that stands before him is short and a bit on the chubbier side, with light brown hair and brown eyes that nearly sparkle. 

She’s wearing a yukata, light pink with little red flowers scattered around. 

She’s beautiful. 

“Uh, excuse me?” 

Katuski blinks. “Uh. Right. Ok. You want yaki imo?” 

“Yes. I’ve heard that you guys make the best.” 

Katsuki nearly puffs out his chest. “Of course. Because I’m the best.” 

She snorts. She’s quick to cover her mouth but Katsuki can hear it. He frowns. “What, you don’t believe me, Cheeks?” 

She raises an eyebrow at him. “Cheeks? Do you give all your customers rude names?” 

“Only the ones that insult me to my face.” 

She purses her lips. “You know what? Fair. I’m sorry about that. I truly meant what I said, though. I’ve been told you guys are the best. I can’t wait to try your food.” 

Katsuki huffs. “Be sure to tell others about us once you get a bite.” He winks. “Because I personally guarantee that it’s going to blow your mind.” 

“Oh yeah.” She leans forward. “What do I get if you're wrong and I hate it?” 

He leans on the counter, smirking in her face. “You won’t.” 

“You sound so sure.” 

“Because I am.” 

“Ahem.” 

They jolt, breaking away from each other. There’s an older lady standing behind Cheeks. She raises an eyebrow. “I would like to place an order.” 

“O-of course.” Katsuki looks back at Cheeks. “I’ll get that order out for you…uh-” 

“Uraraka. Uraraka Ochako.” Uraraka smiles at him. “And I hope you prove me wrong.” 

Katsuki feels his chest give a solid thump. He tells himself that it’s determination to not let this ruin his reputation. 

“You’re fucking on.”

Is there anything the sisters like to eat that isn't meat based? I know they are all fairly carnivorous, but I'm curious.

For Kat, she has a sweet tooth. She likes the tubers known as sweet potatoes, specifically, Murasaki or Yaki-Imo potatoes, one is steamed, the other baked.

For Calamity, she likes something similar. She likes mushrooms. Enoki specifically, Sauteed and served with rice, it's a good substitute for meat when the larder is lean.

Yuki likes any kind of gourd, cooked or raw. I would supply an image, but she ate it.
