Also, does Akechi use γ γγγγ , γγγγγγ, γγΌγγ or something else to refer to himself in Japanese?
(This is for a little art thing that I'm doing and I really need to get this right)
He gets angry when people say otherwise, BTW.
Note: I disagree and I don't understand why he thinks this.
Finally I feel so free and have βpermissionβ to get rid of the things I felt guilty for spending money on, or have received as a gift. The konmarie method has finally given me permission to let go, and know that the items served their purposes. Certain items I no longer use have also been gifted to new owners (asked if they would like the item first or course!). I do catch myself second guessing some items and putting them in a maybe pile, but when I am done sorting I realize they do not spark joy and they go in the get rid of pile. Just wanted to share how good I am feeling about all of this π also: I cannot believe I am saying this. I love folding now. And Iv found all of the you tube tutorials of how to fold each item very helpful!
I had lost a bookmark my friend had given me for my birthday in middle school. I only found out after she passed she had also bought one for herself. They were matching bookmarks. She had bought one with Friendship on it and mine had the word Dreams on it.
Last week, I found a bookmark with the words βDreamers Must Dreamβ tucked inside βJacklyn and the Beanstalkβ by Mary Ting. What took me by surprise is my name is foreign and I never see it anywhere in print. My friendβs nickname for me is Ting. Nobody really knows this, but she always calls me that. After she passed, her family called me by that nickname because she always did.
On the back of the bookmark thereβs a quote by Neil Gaiman: βFairy tales are more than true: Not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.β
She loved Neil Gaimanβs works, especially American Gods, and she loved dragons more than anything.
I found this same bookmark tucked inside 2 more books: βSeven Days in Juneβ by Tia Williams and βA Northern Lightβ by Jennifer Donnelly. Together, they make up the bookmark of Dreams I lost.
All 3 books are about brave women.
When I finally connected the two and realized this and started remembering her nickname for me, I couldnβt help but cry. I had tucked those memories inside of me and had forgotten.
I feel comforted to know she still calls me by my nickname. I felt she gave me a message, βTing, dreamers must dream.β
The bookmark was inside a signed copy of Mary Tingβs Jaclyn And The Beanstalk. It also happens to be a retelling of an old fairytale. It tells the origin of Jack and The Beanstalk where Jaclyn is fated to ride into battle. Itβs a story where women can be as brave and courageous as men. Inside, the author had signed: βMarcia, Women have their own bravery.β
Her mother, after finding out her husband went missing, disguises herself as a man. Before she leaves to ride into town, she tells her daughter: βI may be a woman, but women have their own bravery.β
In a eulogy I wrote for her, I had quoted her writing where she used those exact words. She had written about a character she admired from J.R.R Tolkienβs Lord of The Rings:
βWhen war comes, Eowyn disguises herself as a man and rides into battle as bravely as any other warrior; in fact, she actually does something that no man had ever done- she killed one of the Nazgul, the dreadful wraith-like servant of the evil Sauron. Eowyn shows that women can be as brave and c

I do get it that parents want to make their child special, but if you are on this planet for 30 years and this constantly happens to you, you should learn to anticipate this by now. And maybe learn a short "poem" of spelling your name?
No Monnika, I didn't misspell your name, you parents did on your birth certificate.
I am terribly sorry Anndrev, I will correct it in our system, would you mind spelling it for me? Oh you are annoyed that you have to spell it and think that I can't spell? Have a chat with your parents.
Please, Qathrynne, do not yell at me for trying to spell back your name in NATO Alphabet, it is a standard procedure and and yes Quebec is spelled with Q not K. Ok, I will take it under consideration and say Quattro next time.
I'm not referring to things like Bloody Mary but more like Charles the Mad
So I know "ε 樣" is more formal than "εΎ‘ε γγ" in Japanese, but where does calling an older brother directly by their given name figure into the hierarchy of formality?
For example If ε 樣 >εΎ‘ε γγin terms of formality, then is it ε 樣 >εΎ‘ε γγ>ε₯δΈοΌor is it ε 樣 >ε₯δΈ>εΎ‘ε γγ?
Does it matter with how old the brothers are relatively?
I mean, I understand that calling someone by their first name suggests a close relationship and it makes sense that in very formal situations it may even be inappropriate. But is there a particular reason why this is so ingrained in Japanese culture?
I will admit that most of my experience with Japanese culture comes from anime and manga, and I'm well aware that a lot of the things depicted in those are often exaggerated or inaccurate. Unfortunately, and even though I've interacted with native Japanese in the past, I never had the opportunity (or the familiarity) to ask this question, but it's something that always stood out to me.
Maybe it's because I grew up in one of the most relaxed and informal western cultures. Almost the polar opposite of Japanese culture. There's also the fact that I'm bored and kinda drunk.
I came across an interesting PhD on the topic of modern Japanese given names. Since there are often questions regarding names and types of readings in them, I though this might be a useful resource for anyone looking to learn more about name composition and reading. It contains an excellent appendix with common kanji found in names with many examples and can even be used as a name dictionary, though it's rather hard to navigate in that sense.
"But what do you think we should call the baby?"
Or do you prefer to hear English voices?
>Those close to him note he is politically very left leaning and comes from a working class family in Austria and they donβt believe had he personally known heβd have been okay with being named after a Nazi. In the past he never wanted to bring negative publicity to pro wrestling in Germany and this would have done so. Stark means βstrongβ in German. Gunther Stark, the Nazi U-boat commander is not that well known of a name in Germany or Austria. The belief is more that WWE came up with the name and failed to research it before trying to trademark it, or if they did find out, thinking the name was so little known that nobody would care.

It's one of those oddities that doesn't make sense to me, given that all three languages are surname-first

The day destined for the parturition of saint Anne and for the birth of Her, who was consecrated and sanctified to be the Mother of God, had arrived: a day most fortunate for the world. This birth happened on the eighth day of September, fully nine months having elapsed since the Conception of the soul of our most holy Queen and Lady. Saint Anne was prepared by an interior voice of the Lord, informing Her, that the hour of her parturition had come. Full of the joy of the holy Spirit at this information, she prostrated herself before the Lord and besought the assistance of his grace and his protection for a happy deliverance. Presently she felt a movement in her womb similar to that which is proper to creatures being born to the light. The most blessed child Mary was at the same time by divine providence and power ravished into a most high ecstasy. Hence Mary was born into the world without perceiving it by her senses, for their operations and faculties were held in suspense. As She had the use of her reason, She would have perceived it by her senses, if they would have been left to operate in their natural manner at that time. However, the Almighty disposed otherwise, in order that the Princess of heaven might be spared the sensible experience otherwise connected with birth.

She was born pure and stainless, beautiful and full of grace, thereby demonstrating, that She was free from the law and the tribute of sin. Although She was born substantially like other daughters of Adam, yet her birth was accompanied by such circumstances and conditions of grace, that it was the most wonderful and miraculous birth in all creation and will eternally redound to the praise of her Maker. At twelve o'clock in the night this divine Luminary issued forth, dividing the night of the ancient Law and its pristine darknesses from the new day of grace, which now was about to break into dawn. She was clothed, handled and dressed like other infants, though her soul dwelt in the Divinity; and She was treated as an infant, though She excelled all mortals and even all the angels in wisdom. Her mother did not allow Her to be touched by other hands than her own, but she herself wrapped Her in swaddling clothes: and in this Saint Anne was not hindered by her present state of childbirth; for she was free from the toils and labors, which other mothers usually endure in such circumstances.

So then saint Anne received in her arms Her, who was her Daughter, but at the same t
Itβs called the Moo-trix.
Iβm thinking about hypothetical daughter names for when we give our existing one a sibling!
I realised the other day that I love Japanese girls names (Kyoko, Sayuri etc) but my problem is that I have no links to Japan and therefore wouldnβt feel right using a purely Japanese name. Naomi is perfect for my tastes as it is both Japanese and Hebrew and has always been common enough in english speaking countries.
Can anyone suggest similar names- either names that are both Japanese and another origin, or that are more western but have some of the sounds found in Japanese names (I dont really know how to define this but the letter O seems common)?
I had a pretty fun idea today. imagine if Shiiro's Au wasn't an Au, if it Elizabeth, Charlie, Henry etc. were all Ocs, what names do you think they'd have?
of course they can't have names like Henry Emily, Elizabeth Afton, I wanted to make up their ''names'' with the Sub, so I have brought multiple names that I think fit Charlie, chose the one you think fits her the most
(feel free to ask questions, I don't explain things all that good, btw naming characters things that don't fit them could work. for example a edgy Character called Happy,)
Interesting when you consider how heavily the Kabbalah and Hebrew mythos plays such a huge role in the show.
The book Shogun by James clavell
I'm listening to the audio book so I don't know the page. But it's the Franciscan friar in the jail scene.
He says that on the samurai had actual names. everyone else just went by their job or their job plus a short description like blind fisherman.
I realize that the character in the book May simply have been mistaken as part of his misunderstanding Japanese culture but I can't tell.
Did peasants have surnames? What about given names?
To be fair, all of the water-related splats we see is from falling in the water where the inkling attempts to swim then bursts (possibly a built in self-destruct system to their ink tanks).
If that is the case then inklings may use water in normal lives, drinking, bathing, rain, etc., but have an inability to swim
Hi guys!
Today I was talking to a friend about one of my alters who has a Japanese name, and they told me that it was misappropriating/racist to use a name from another culture if the body was white. Is this true? If so, what do we do?
