This is Akinator app. It can guess any character, person or anything you think of by asking random questions..
So, I was trying to guess Riki The Dark through this app and suddenly this question came up.
I laughed for 15 mins straight before forcing myself not to select "Yes"
“Brown eyes are so plain and ugly you can’t even compare them to gems like emerald and saph-”
Stop.
Carnelian
Cairngorm
Cassiterite
Smoky Quartz

That’s not even all of GORGEOUS BROWN GEMS THAT EXIST IN THIS WORLD. Just like there are a lot of beautiful brown gems they’re a lot of BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES. BROWN IS A GORGEOUS COLOR. Start treating it like one.
I am so glad someone did this.
if you don’t want someone to have brown eyes because you can’t compare them to a gem then you’re a bad writer
The Ai no Kusabi Fandom in a nutshell
- General, posts everything and anything about Ai no Kusabi.
- Rp blogs
- Headcanons
- The intellectual. Posts are approximately 500 words or longer.
- Memes
- “Every thing about this story is poorly written and all of the characters are horrible”…still a fan anyway.
- Inactive, probably hasn’t posted in at least three years. Is basically considered the fandom archives…“the ancient texts!”
- New fan. Has ten or less posts so far, but has already fallen so deep into this pit of misery.
- The silent follower. Likes posts, but no reblogs because their blog isn’t about Ai no Kusabi. (you are noticed and loved!)
- Fanfiction
- Discourse. Goes so deep….approximately a three page paper including reblogs. Deserves credit hours counted towards a degree in anime.
- Fanart. The best.
- Translations (thank you people so much!)
- Heartbreak
Tag yourself I’m Memes and Heartbreak
This is so true I'm done..
How about you guys teach me how to curse/swear in your language?
Make it exquisite, darlings.
Italian swears:
Vaffanculo:go fuck yourself
Pezzo di merda:piece of shit
Figlio di puttana:son of a bitch
Stronzo:asshole
Testa di cazzo:dickhead.
Guys I will use google translate for pronunciation bahahaha this is fun!
Some Japanese curses:
ばか (baka): stupid/idiot
あほ (aho): stupid/idiot
くそ (kuso): shit/fuck
てめえ (temeh): you asshole/motherfucker
ぶす (busu): ugly woman/whore
しねえ (shineh): go die
All should be said harshly and aggressively. Japanese is tonal and so pretty much anything you say aggressively can be considered a curse or insult
This is lovely ha ha
Swedish Swear words or insults
Literal translations are so fun though.
Damn/Darn/fuck/fucking:
Fan
Jävlar
Jävla
All of those above are pretty much old Swedish words for the devil.
Skit = Shit
Skitstövel = Shit boot (Kind of like calling someone a jerk)
Dra åt helvete/dra åt skogen = go to hell/go to the forest. (”Dra åt skogen” is like a slightly nicer version of go to hell)
Ta dig i arslet - ”Take yourself in the ass” or “Touch your ass” might be a better literal translation (Kind of like ”fuck you”)
Gubbjävel = Gubbe means old (Which is not really an insult unless you put Jävla before or after the word.) so it’s basically what you might use if you’re cursing out an old man or a middle-aged man.
Kärring – Insulting name for an old woman or middle-aged woman. (It used to be a loving word men called their wives, but is today mostly used as an insult. Some still use kärring when talking about older women, even if they don’r mean it as an insult)
Extra: Snuskhummer - Dirty lobster. It basically means pervert, but this word can be used when joking too.
Now to curses and insults that are somewhat worse. We swedes don’t really care about curse words and such, so I don’t really care about seeing them. But I’ve put this in bold for those who do not like a little heavier cursewords… Just in case you want to avoid it. :)
Horunge – Whore child.
Fitta = Cunt
Slyna/hora = Whore
These words (and a few others) tend to be put together to create new cursewords like “fitthora” or “Fittunge”.
Madasaambrani = Blabbering idiot
Thevidaya = Prostitute
Paradesi = Douchebag
Thevdiya Pullai = Son of a prostitute
Forhelvede = fucking hell(roughly translated)
Røvhul = asshole
Lort = shit
Kælling = bitch
Kraftidiot = Big idiot
Pikhoved = dickhead
For satan = satan?
Møgsvin = dirty pig
Møgkælling = dirty bitch
Møgso = dirty (female) pig
Luder = whore
french insults/swear words:
fils de pute = son of a bitch
va te faire foutre = fuck off
nique toi = fuck you
merde = shit
putain = fuck (if you translate it litteraly it means whore but in context most of the time it means fuck)
salope = bitch
nique ta mere = go fuck your mom (so it’s kind of a mix of motherfucker and go fuck yourself)
mutuals français ajoutez des trucs à cette liste incroyable
Kutte= dog
Kamine= Rascal
Madarchod= motherf**ker
Haramkhor= Scoundrel
Chutiya= such a pussy
Met Gala: Amoi
I’ve recently been seeing a lot of photographs from the Met Gala and I was struck with a thought. We should bring such a glorious event to Amoi! Which look do you think would suit me best?
Aren’t these just gorgeous?
Raoul, I’m going to need your help!
Your very own style is iconic. Just be yourself and you can knock down everyone else's look.
This was from mother’s day?
Yes! Bringing this back for Mother’s day lol.
Loveliest thing I've seen today..
Ai no kusabi 1992-2012, part 2
If you didn’t read the novel or listen to the Drama CD… you probably didn’t notice while watching the remake that a lot of the main characters’ lines came from the drama CD “Dark Erogenous” (which is about the three years Riki spent as Iason’s pet). For example, the first OVA’s first scene (when Riki is forced by Iason to put an end to his relationship with Mimea) used almost the same lines as the first track of the CD. The CD ends when Iason releases Riki and says that he will wait for the moment Riki will truly become his. So does the first OVA, and the final speech of Iason is almost the same in the CD and in the OVA. One last example ? Okay. Do you remember when Katze gives advices to Riki after he got into a fight with other workers, in the fourth OVA ? Well, it’s actually the same which was recorded on the OST CD “Ambivalence” (fourth track - “The Black Market”). Maybe I’m gonna make a video to compare the drama cd and the OVA… actually, I already made it, but it isn’t finished~ Also, the moment Riki offers a bottle of liquor to Guy is taken from the novel, I don’t remember which volume… Anyway, I will edit this post when I have done the video, so please be patient… Now, I’m (finally) going to bed, it’s 3:00 AM (=_=)…
Ai no kusabi's names...
Tanagura : probably came from the japanese spelling of “Tanagra” (「タナグラ」, “Tanagura”), an ancient greek city, in Boeotia (link). Midas : in Greek mythology, the King Midas had the ability to turn everything he touched into gold. Orphe Zavi (a blondie) : most probably came from the legendary musician Orpheus in ancient Greek mythology. He could charm all living things with his music. Iason Mink : Iásōn/Jason is a ancient Greek mythology hero and the leader of the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece, so that he could become the king of Iolcus. This name comes from a Greek word meaning “healer”(link). Raoul Am : I’m not sure for this one, but this character might have been named after Alexios Raoul, a Byzantine aristocrat and general of the Empire of Nicaea (link). Gideon : judge of the Hebrews (book of judges, hebrew bible). This name means “mighty warrior”, “destroyer”, “feller (of trees)” (link). Riki : the name “Riki” has germanic origins and means “powerful ruler/leader” (link1) (link2). Kirie : variation of the cambodian name “Kiri”, meaning “moutain summit” (link). Katze : german word for “cat”. Daryl : from old French “airelle” (=“baie” en français moderne ; it’s so old that nobody uses this word nowadays !) (link). Guy : “wide wood”, “forest”. From Germanic origins (link). Wow, I didn’t think I’d manage to find so much… but it’s quite logic ^^, Riki is a “powerful leader”, Iason doesn’t lead the Argonauts but the Syndicate, Jupiter rules the world, Raoul is an “aristocrat”…
Tanagura is also a town in Japan situated in Fukushima.
Your fave is not problematic: Raoul Am
Raoul is another well known character from Ai no Kusabi and the best friend of one of the main characters, Iason Mink. As a part of my “Your fave is not problematic” series, I will address some of the misconceptions surrounding this character.
Raoul’s scientific pursuits.
- Raoul is one of Tanagura’s leading biotechnology specialists. However, others disagree with his scientific research, arguing that it over steps moral boundaries.
- His work on secret and controversial experiments causes many to view him as a madman.
- However, Raoul’s contributions to science are the reason for many good things in Tanagura.
- The elites enjoy the existence of their pets, because of the breeding process and genetic modification provided by Raoul.
- Tanagura’s technology was so developed, most known diseases were extinct and many people were cured because of Raoul’s research.
- “To spare nothing in the pursuit of the secrets of the universe was a matter of fact to the Blondies. It was nothing for the likes of Raoul to descend on a world dying under a viral pandemic and bring the full might of the technology of Tanagura to bear. To the dying, no doubt Raoul was truly divine.” (V8 p123)
Is Raoul cruel and uncaring?
- Even by other blondies, Raoul is considered to be ruthless.
- This is far from the case however, especially when we look at Raoul’s relationship with Iason.
- From the outside, Raoul is hard on Iason and highly critical of his decisions, particularly relating to Riki.
- The fact is though, Raoul cares deeply about Iason. He pressures and critiques him because he wants to protect his friend’s reputation and he doesn’t want to see him hurt.
- Because of this, he also refuses to be the one to tamper with Iason’s mind.
- In a previous post in this series, I compared Iason’s situation and his confidence in Raoul to someone in the closet with an unsupportive family.
- I said, “Raoul is like the understanding, somewhat supportive brother. He doesn’t quite agree that what Iason is feeling is normal, but he doesn’t want his brother to suffer.
In a way, he keeps Iason’s secret and doesn’t tell Jupiter. At the same time though, he warns Iason not to go too far, because if Jupiter finds out there is nothing he can do.
We often look at Raoul as another elite who is bothered by Iason’s behavior and is always harping on him. But in reality, he is extremely concerned for his brother’s well-being and happiness. He loves him.”
- These facts are made even more clear when Raoul realizes Iason died in the explosion at Dana Burn.
Conclusion:
Even though he may seem a cold hearted madman, Raoul Am is a passionate scientist, a pursuer of truth, and a loyal, loving friend. How is that problematic?
Couldn't agree more. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.

Iason and Raoul headcanon.
Raoul was always meant to be the responsible, older sibling, the one who set the example for little Iason. While Iason was still learning the ways of an elite, Raoul would accompany him constantly. Raoul wasn’t just Raoul to Iason. He was Raoul-senpai. Iason was the bright-eyed young boy with all the potential in the world, and Jupiter made sure Raoul knew how carefully she had crafted every single sun-kissed hair on his head. Knowing this, Raoul devoted his life to the education and well-being of the younger blondie. As they learned and matured together, their relationship became closer, something more than that of an older and younger sibling. Iason began to surpass his predecessors. His programming was flawless. Now, as Iason once admired Raoul, Raoul genuinely admired him in return. They were equals. Or, possibly, Iason was even more impressive. His beauty and strength were almost too good to be true. Raoul became fascinated– no, mesmerized by the younger blondie.
One night, Jupiter was holding some lavish party for her little golden babies, which was nice, but still just a bit too dull for the still young blondies. As the evening dragged on, Iason and Raoul found themselves on a balcony adjacent to the party, board to tears of the music and idle gossip. They began to talk about how snobby the off-worlder elites were, then about how the food was overcooked, which led to them talking about their preferences and tastes, which led to talking about their lives, and the past years which they had spent almost exclusively in each other’s company, which led to laughter, which led to silence. Then, they found themselves simply gazing at each other, yet, somehow, the silence was comfortable. The heavy sighs of the young princes were the only sounds they could hear, despite the music of the orchestra blaring behind them. It couldn’t penetrate the perfect little force field that seemed to have formed around them. After some time, Iason broke the silence, surprising Raoul a bit. He asked if Raoul would be up for an experiment, of scientific nature. Of course, Raoul agreed, being the beautiful little nerd that he was. Iason told Raoul that he’d become curious about this act of “kissing” that the mongrels did, which was supposed to release endorphins in the brain and promote closeness of two living beings. He said he would like to try this, and see if it worked on them, as well. Slowly, Raoul nodded. They leaned in towards one-another, and their lips touched. Something lit inside Raoul that he had never felt before. This couldn’t have been part of his programing. He had no code or handle for what he felt. All he knew was, he’d wanted it for as long as he could remember, yet hadn’t known he wanted it until now. They slipped away, out from the commotion of the party, and into a place where even Jupiter would not know the things that were exchanged between those two. That was the first night Raoul had shared his sleeping breath with another person. Forsake all he had worked for to that point. He could have given up the grace of Jupiter herself to spend the rest of his life returning to this blissful bed, with this beautiful creature. His mental catalogue finally had an experience-based sensation to assign to the term “love.”
Then, as the years went on, Iason proved himself to be just what he was meant to be: the perfect, awe-inspiring blondie to rule above all his predecessors. He was perfect– or, as perfect as anything could be. And that, was just mite too short of genuine perfection to keep Iason on his pedestal. One day, Iason returned from an outing with an unusual souvenir. Something he called by the name of “Riki.” He was similar to the other pets kept by many elites, such as the ones Raoul bred himself. But he wasn’t one of them. His behavior was erratic, his conduct deplorable. Raoul initially chalked it off to a phase Iason was going through– something of a rebellion akin to that which pubescent humans went through. He was certain it would end soon, and that the intelligent enough Iason would come to his senses and throw the mutt back into the slum from which he came. But, no such thing happened. Soon, Raoul would learn to equate this Riki to a substance similar to the kind of drugs common mongrels traded their bodies for. What started out as a minor annoyance grew into something to incur the wrath of Jupiter. Iason was obsessed with this… thing. This thing which was no better than the substances which clung to the bottoms of their boots. This mongrel was an all-consuming, black mau that threatened to swallow his Iason alive.
Raoul tried, tried, and tried again to reason with Iason. First, he approached out of concern for his own time lost with the man, then out of fear for Jupiter’s impending wrath, and lastly, for the sake of Iason’s mind– his own being which was now at risk. Raoul had never dreamed he would curse his own talents, but in that time he prayed to whatever deity would listen despite his disbelief in any that they would remove his knowledge of the inner workings of the body, cripple his surgeon’s hands, strike him with malfunctioning wiring, to prevent him from having to tamper with the mind of the person he loved, altering his emotions, and possibly destroying what, after such experiences in life, despite his scientific mind, Raoul could now only call a soul. He could not go on functioning if he were the one to do that.
Out of anger, Raoul distanced himself from Iason. Perhaps, he’d hoped, the absence of his presence would finally call the man around, would finally let Iaosn know, he was serious. Nothing good could come of him keeping this wretched little disease he called a “pet.” So Raoul waited, and waited, and waited.
In the end, he didn’t have to tamper with Iason’s mind. The precious, flaxen-haired man would never be altered or made soulless. Instead, the thing he had made into his most valued possession would be the thing he died for. The last moments of his life would be spent holding the love of his life to his heart, as they both were swallowed up by a fire that would burn for days on end, until nothing was left but rubble and ash.
Iason had died with the love of his life. Raoul had been left, trying to figure out how to go on operating without his.
(….. I almost typed “fire that burned like the anguish of a thousand fangirls.” But I didn’t want to ruin the moment…)
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever read. Raoul will always be close to my heart. He's just precious..
I want him to be happy
Revive the Ai no Kusabi Fandom 2018!
Recently, I’ve noticed more Ai no Kusabi fan presence on this site than ever! And I know that many of us have been waiting for this fandom to be revived again and meet others who love it like we do.
So, I’m going to create a masterlist of Ai no Kusabi-themed blogs as well as fans with unrelated blogs. I hope that this can help fellow fans find each other, some great themed blogs, and increase overall popularity for the fandom! It will be sorta like a directory, broken down into categories so you can easily find the type of blog or fan that you’re looking for.
Everyone who is interested in being included on this list, please reblog! If you are an Ai no Kusabi-themed blog, leave a comment as well telling about your blog (aka is it character themed? rp? general Ai no Kusabi stuff?)
Hey there... I'm up for it. This my RP account. There's one more account I have on Tumblr. I follow from both and i would support from both.

The following content are my own personal thoughts. Cheritz never confirmed such things. So this is my personal theory about the theme of Saeran Route.. All characters belong to Cheritz
——-
Do you realize that this whole Route is based on people being something or someone they’re usually not? And that the whole theme of this route is based on Different personalities OR Dual personality disorder? Be it the members of R.F.A. or Mint Eye. AND be it the natural unfortunate disorders or imitation and cosplay. The characters are..at some places…portrayed acting differently than their usual self.
Let’s take a look through the main plot first.
Ray.. In this routes he can be seen switching from Ray to Saeran. So basically he’s also facing dual personality disorder caused by the drug (exilier). Basically it seems that two different people possess the same body.
Rika… Ofcourse.. it is obvious in every route that she’s not the person she used to be so you can also see the changing personality of caring old Rika to the ruthless Saviour of Mint Eye.
Now come to the R.F.A. members
Zen… He’s been chosen to play the role of Zekyll and White in a musical. The both names Zekyll and White are the names of the same character with different personalities. Zekyll is gentle whereas White is fierce. And Zen had a hard time adapting the role of White because their personality just doesn’t match. But with the help of h̶i̶s̶ ̶d̶a̶d̶d̶y̶ Jumin.. he’s finally able to pull it off. So the different personality point is Zen playing a role of a person with dual personalities.
Yoosung.. His attempt to become like Jumin was one of the most hilarious thing happened. The way he attempts to become Jumin to help his lovely friend in his acting. He left us totally of guard specially in that call where talks like Jumin. He did it really well. And ofcourse…Elizabun The 2nd was also my favorite 😂 Love you baby Yoo 💖 So here..the different personality point was Yoosung attempting to be Jumin.
Jumin…. OH MY GOD…where do I start? STITCHING?? JUJU ARE YOU SERIOUS? I laughed for like 5 minutes after looking at his adorable photo of stitching in car. Now THAT was something you don’t see everyday. The CEO-in-line is interested in something usually so feminine. But oh what we can say…under his stoic demeanor.. Jumin is actually an adorable person and such a darling. That’s why he is my most favorite in all of MM characters. Different Personality point: Jumin adapting such hobby which (i believe) he normally would’ve considered as time wasting. S(B)aeyoung… *sighs* We always see that boy full of life and jokes. Seeing him broken like this was something very unusual and heartbreaking. I don’t know if it should be portrayed as a part of the different personality theme…as in his own route he was very *cough* nice to us..which was difficult to grasp. So still I would like to use his example. Different Personality point: No cheerful Baeyoung :(
Jaehee… I don’t know if it fits here with the content…I still felt the need of adding her as she is…form the assistant of Jumin Han…has become the official HEAD of the Intelligence Unit. *applause* now somehow she got the chance of how it feels to be the Boss. So that’s why I added her here..
So here’s my overall observation about the theme of Saeran Route which is how the whole Route concentrates on different or dual personality (disorder or not) of a person. Again, nothing such has been confirmed and this is just my own conclusion and thought. I hope you don’t find it useless lol. Sorry for my bad english. Thank you for reading. 💖
@blondieraoulam
