Clover Slayers kahonoelle <3 Kahono and the rest of the underwater sea temple are the sword-smiths, who get their village attacked by Vetto (Upper 4) + some other demons. (More about au under cut) This is also for bc femslash month (Prompt is Crossover) @bceventshub

Kahono is Noelle's assigned swordsmith, and while giving Noelle her sword (which is freely given by the corps) she asks for an insane amount of money (adjusting for inflation at the time) which SHE GETS (Noelle has no idea how the demon slayer corps works since she's been purposefully sheltered from it her whole life). Kahono has the same passion of haganezuka when it comes to sword making, but way less annoying. Whenever Noelle breaks her sword though, she IS a little miffed, and keeps asking for an increasing amount of money whenever it happens. However along with her passion for swords, another passion she has is making instruments, and singing, which she doesn't get to do often considering most money goes to make swords, and most time aswell. Part of the reason she asks for money is to save up so she can pursue music aswell as make swords in the future without anyone telling her off for using corps budget. Kahono makes/hones swords, and Kiato, as the eldest is in charge of learning how to operate and maintain the training doll: Licht type zero. Also in the main piece where Kahono is repairing/sharpening/wtv the sword (where she is showing a wild amount of devotion to making the best sword for her swordsman), the sword was used by either Undine (Sengoku Water hashira) or Leviathan (Undine's predecessor). Noelle uses this sword after the swordsmansmith village arc in this au.

Hi I really like your fic kataware doki and I think you're really good at writing I'm trying to get into writing myself are there any books or general tips you have

thank you! as for writing tips, i do have some:

learn the fundamentals never skip the basics! i've seen a lot of people (even in the professional sphere) constantly make mistakes with grammar, punctuation, capitalization, homonyms, phrases, etc. etc. because they skip the basics and go straight into more complicated stuff. i sincerely believe that to write well, and to break rules well, you have to know exactly what rules you're breaking first. so i'd say: - study grammar/do a refresher on grammar maybe get a dedicated grammar guide. not to shill, but the blue book of grammar and punctuation is pretty popular in the writing spheres i'm in, especially because it also tackles common homonyms (like piqued vs. peaked) people misuse. - learn the difference between POVs and what they consist of POVs make a lot of difference in the delivery of a story. misunderstanding what they consist of can lead to constant headhopping, which can confuse or pull the reader out of the story. knowing how POVs work also means you can really do some crazy shit with it, like writing unreliable narrators effectively or hiding foreshadowing in plain sight. - learn writing types and forms, and literary devices if you've never studied writing types (prose, poetry, novels, etc), forms (short stories, drabbles, novellas, etc), and literary devices (metaphors, similes, onomatopoeias), learn them. if you have but need a refresher, go do a refresher! literary devices, especially, make the difference between a plain sentence and a sentence that punches. - learn media literacy and critical thinking insert media literacy crisis joke here or whatever. on a serious note, i used to have media lit and crit thinking classes throughout my elementary, high school, and college years. i know educational boards globally have been paring down curriculums, though, so if you've never had a media lit class, go look one up or go to the library to find a book on it. media literacy and critical thinking is crucial to writing; media illiteracy can lead to writers writing a completely different story than what they meant to because they don't know how to consider their own subtext---sometimes even their own text.

read a lot; read actively and critically read a lot. read good books. read bad books. read short stories. read longies. read non-fiction. read across a lot of genres. read, so you know what you like and what you don't; so you can see how people execute certain themes and concepts; so you can figure out what works for you and what doesn't. read so you can expand your horizons. the brain is a muscle and writing is a skill, and it is trained both through the actual writing and the reading---but you have to read actively and critically, which is why i consider media lit as a fundamental. when you read, pay attention to what literary devices are used, what the author is saying, what the story is about beyond the plot. basic media lit questions. it becomes habit to inspect those things, eventually, and when you write, it becomes second nature to be able to identify what you're actually doing beyond just slapping words on a page. and then, afterwards, throw a wider net toward other forms of media. listen to a lot of music. watch a lot of films. play a lot of games. and engage with them actively and critically too.

write, of course but don't just stick to one thing. every time you get the hang of something, push your boundaries. use another POV. use another tense. try a different genre. try a different form. every skill you pick up from one tense or form or genre can easily be applied to another. i mainly write prose, but i learned rhythm and sound from poetry.

get constructive feedback this one is a little tricky for people who don't know how to get feedback. there are different types of feedback beyond constructive and deconstructive. for example, you may want developmental feedback, which is feedback concerning the wider strokes---the plot, the themes, the progression of the scenes---of your piece. for another example, you may want feedback specifically on the characters. or, you may want feedback on the dialogue, or the line by line. it's great to get feedback from a general audience, and if you're open to it, do so! but if you want to take your writing a step further, then get people who know what they're talking about and get them to pick a specific facet of your writing and inspect it.

view things from another perspective an exercise my screenwriting professor used to have us do was, she'd pick a scene from a movie, make us watch it, and then have us try to reverse engineer the script from it. there wasn't really any right answer to the exercise, that wasn't the point. the point was to teach us how to put something visual onto page, and take into account the atmosphere, the characters' actions, the setting, while we write. i've said above i mostly write prose, not screenplays, but every now and then i do the same exercise---i just write it in prose.

please help i've reread chapter 12 of kataware doki so many times but the conversation between kokushibo and mochizuki still confuses me so much (also what's writing for new media)

long post so under a readmore

preface: new media is basically anything that isn't traditional or legacy media (TV, radio, print newspapers, print magazines, print ads, etc.). media is a very rapidly-changing landscape, though, so the stuff that falls under legacy media might have evolved in the time i was in college and now. but basically

legacy media = usually big organizations/corporations, has gatekeepers in the form of those orgs

new media = independent media, independent creators, most prominent in the digital space

writing for new media was a course that taught us how to do everything legacy media did but without having to jump through hoops to learn from them, as well as adapting and optimizing all of those techniques and skills for modern tech and the modern media landscape (so like SEOs, punchy content titles, punchy scripts, etc).

one of the most important skills we were taught was how to structure words correctly, beyond basic grammar and correspondence. you know how sometimes news headlines can be either clickbait, misleading, accusatory, or absolving? it was basically that, but it wasn't just for titles, it was for scripts, ads, jingles, etc, etc.

this is a skill mochizuki applies throughout their interactions with kokushibo (and notice how i use interaction and not conversation---that completely changes the scope of where mochi applies this skill, doesn't it? that is an example of deliberately choosing words). let's break down this piece of dialogue:

before this paragraph starts, it's important to take note of the context of the scene and what came before it. mochi just shot kokushibo, he caught on to what they were saying (without saying it outright), and he sat down, therefore agreeing to negotiate.

the last person who spoke was mochizuki. they do not let kokushibo get a word out despite this. they open the conversation by prompting with "You look like you have questions." this is important, because then they're able to lead into their next paragraph, which lets them psychologically prime the person they are talking to. take note of the order of their sentences and how they're worded:

In the interest of fairness - mochi opens by presenting this whole situation as fair. therefore, they are not a threat; therefore, kokushibo is not losing by interacting with them; therefore, this is an interaction done with goodwill

How about we agree on an exchange - as kokushibo noted in the chapter, they deliberately use we in this sentence. they're framing this as a joint effort, not one side versus another side. mochi's making it sound like they're on the same team, that their goals are kokushibo's goals.

I provide you with an answer - they elaborate on what the interaction will need, but they open with what kokushibo benefits first. they easily could have switched the order of their phrases around and said 'you provide me (with an answer) first, but they chose to say this instead to put something kokushibo wants on the table before they present the drawback (you provide me one back).

You provide me one back - see above. risky, but couched by the sentences preceding and succeeding it

In the event that one of us refuses, the other does not get the next piece of information he seeks - really curious wording, because anyone would have said 'in the event that one of us refuses, he(as in the person who refused) do not get the next piece of information he seeks', but mochi instead says one, then the other. they're further hammering in the whole 'this is a joint effort and if one of us fumbles, we both lose' thing

A trade we both benefit from, yes? - soft finisher, again using we and framing this as a fair situation

and then this repeats, several times, throughout their convos (even nightmare-mochi does it)

honestly, the real magic of a mochizuki interaction isn't really in their dialogue. that's the easy part. it's in the rest of what they don't do, their body language, their tone, how they've used or set up their environment, and how they use the information they gather. like how kokushibo noted that they already had the guest rooms set up and the basement had two chairs ready. they do a lot of things in this chapter that i haven't seen people pick up (even the gc lmaooooooo) including lie several times. since kokushibo canonically prefers no misunderstandings/clear communication, he finds them fucking annoying. plus, he's exhausted, hungry, stressed, and massively overstimulated; and it's not just their words he has to sift through, he's noticed the other stuff too. he's understandably infuriated.

tl;dr: mochi does PR-speak, kokushibo CAN parse through it but only if he puts in effort and he already hates the whole thing AND he's tired. mochi's whole process can be summed up with this old silly shitpost from the gc

I LOVE KATAWARE DOKI SO MUCH!!! the research and thought you put into it is insane its sooooo good!!!! I was wondering how you do your research for the fic ? Are there any particular websites / databases you use for time period/ geographic research? (And the cult research too). Im really looking forward to the next chapter!!

i do! my research consists of two parts: references and prep media (not counting rereading canon and taking notes—the bulk of the research for kataware wasn't actually the external media, it was reading the actual canon lit and whatever spinoffs/databooks there are, and taking notes)

REFERENCES:

JSTOR - JSTOR IS YOUR FRIEND! JSTOR IS YOUR BUDDY! JSTOR HAS EVERYTHING!!! put baby head into jstor mouth. friend jstor (I got into JSTOR for college research papers/thesis and then never left lmaoooo)

My college textbooks: Philosophy of Man, Introduction to Sociology and Anthropology, General Psychology - these are really local to the uni scene here (like the professors just wrote them and theyre sold in the schools/local bookshops) so im pretty sure if you have your own textbooks/have access to them, it's pretty much the same. since i already went to school for these, i just check them when i need a refresher or if im not sure im remembering something right

My highschool textbooks: General Chemistry, Asian History, and World History - also pretty local though im pretty sure anybody not in asia and not in a school that teaches AH in their curriculum would have to deliberately look for this

Writing For New Media notes - we didn't have a textbook for this in college, but i still have my notes. new media writing involves a lot of careful verbiage, framing, intent—prosody, as Kokushibo said. it's the basis for a lot of the mochizuki and kokushibo exchanges specifically, because mochi loves being so particular, and kokushibo can keep up with them, he just 1) hates this so he doesn't want to + 2) currently famished and exhausted out of his mind rn. douma uses it to some extent in his narration in Douma, Interrupted, and he'll get to stretch this muscle more in later chapters

The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation - to be careful with verbiage, i have to be sure that the words im choosing are exactly what i want them to be. i usually have this sitting next to my keyboard so i can quickly confirm im not misremembering/misunderstanding anything

DSM-V

A Killer by Design

Crime Classification Manual

ik the last two seem a little ??? but i had to do research for a different project and i read them for that, and my notes from there really help with all character writing across the board. it's not very obvious, but it adds color and flavor. it's like the bay leaf of my research lmao

also, whenever there was a gap in my notes and all else failed, i went to wikipedia and scrolled down to their reference list to do some reading and note-taking

PREP MEDIA:

prep med are media i watch/read/play/etc. when i have a specific aesthetic/atmosphere in mind but can't quite work out how i want to execute it. or, i want to emulate smth this media did and want to study how they made it work. this includes but is not limited to (adding only the ones the influence is obvious to avoid spoilers)

Jacob's Ladder (1990, not the shitty remake)

Silent Hill 1, 2 (OG and remake), 3, 4, F

NBC Hannibal

Neon Genesis Evangelion (OG series + End of Evangelion)

Girl, Interrupted (book, the movie has a completely different atmosphere from the disjointed, almost dreamlike quality of the book)

Gone Girl (book and movie)

If It Bleeds

Mother Horse Eyes

Warm Bodies (book series. movie, again, is a completely different beast; movie is a romcom played straight but the book series is bleak and introspective, though still hopeful)

Edgar Allan Poe collection (Penguin Classics)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Low vit D & calcium in childhood: 

Low grade rickets - mild bowing of the limbs & mild scoliosis causing short stature. Had dental decay of some of his molars/pre molars so he’s missing some teeth

Scar- 

Facial asymmetry due to buccal branch injury (i like lopsided smiles ). Contraction of scar tissue causing distortion of the lip ==> incomplete mouth closure (on the left side of his upper lip) 

Unilateral Congenital cataracts in his left eye causing blindness

How Obanai’s upbringing & wound could’ve affected his health (for any other fan artists/writers)

disclaimer- I'm just a med student so if there are any errors please let me know. I’ll be discussing up his upbringing, how his scar might have healed & some bonus vision stuff.

Raised without sunlight 

Low vitamin D & calcium 

Low vitamin D can lead to insufficient calcium absorption (as well as phosphate & magnesium) leading to hypokalemia (low calcium in blood) & calcium deficiency. 

I talked to an orthopedic surgeon about this & he said if there aren't any other comorbidities like intestinal / kidney issues, rickets would be the most major issue caused by his low vitamin D & calcium as he would still get some vitamin D & calcium from his diet. ( he was fed extravagant food) 

Rickets information - The rickets severity score is used to grade severity of rickets 0-10 (10 is the most severe). Typical features of ricteks are bowed legs, short limbs, stunted growth etc. Here's a list of some skeletal & dental signs of rickets ⇒

Low calcium (& low phosphate )

Calcium deficiency leads to lower bone density & causes rickets which i discussed above (there is overlap w/ hypocalcemia too).Hypocalcemia manifestation depends on severity & chronicity. ( i dont think he would have severe calcium deficiency due to his diet & his family taking this into account to not kill him - but this is up to you ) 

Some potential symptoms of hypocalcemia : 

Seizures ( very severe ) - this can also be caused by hypophosphatemia ; Tetany ( caused by a rapid decline in Ca), Paresthesias ( numbness/ pins & needles )  -  also can be caused by hypophosphatemia , Cardiovascular issues - QTc prolongation, heart failure (severe)  

The long-term prognosis of hypocalcemia is usually good 

Calcium homeostasis in the body is a complex interplay between different hormones, regulatory proteins, receptors, and serum chemistries. Th

Elevated Parathyroid hormone 

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is an increased secretion of Parathyroid hormone which can be caused by hypocalcemia & low vitamin D. 

( Some of the conditions i listed here are very severe, i personally don't see these happening as they typically present in CKD they could present secondary to severe vit d deficiency )

Pruritus (itch) ; Calciphylaxis (very severe) - Calcification of small blood vessels in the skin/fat tissue . causes blood clots & ulcers. ( Poor prognosis );  Calcifications of cutaneous tissue, the eye , & the heart (very severe) 

Wound 

Facial Nerve injury 

Depending on placement of the laceration there could be injury to his facial nerve . I’ll discuss injury to the temporal & buccal branches

Buccal 

Injuries cause weakness of the muscles that control the upper lips & cheek. Causes difficulty smiling , articulation & incomplete mouth closure. This can cause difficulty eating & chewing as well as pronunciation of bilabial sounds ( P, B, M etc)

Temporal

Injuries cause weakness of the muscles in the forehead and eye muscles. Causes difficulty raising eyebrows & fully closing eye. This can cause damage due to corneal dryness & exposure keratopathy

Facial nerve injuries pose challenges in cosmetic surgery. We comprehensively reviewed the anatomy of the facial nerve, with a focus on its

Injury to parotid gland 

The largest salivary gland. Injury can cause saliva to leak out into the wound or collect within the subcutaneous space causing a fistula/ oedema. & damage can cause dry mouth

Salivary gland trauma is uncommon. Parotid gland and duct injuries are far more common than injuries to submandibular and sublingual glands

In the United States, approximately 2 million patients present annually to the emergency department for facial lacerations.[1][2] Given the

Recovery 

We don't know the exact details of his escape timeline as well as the medical treatment he might have received after his injury. Results will vary depending. Rengoku would have taken him to a doctor afterwards but that would have been at least 2 days after the laceration - missing the ‘golden period’ of suturing his wound. Some things to consider: did his family provide any medical care (sutures , anti biotics , pain killers etc) ,if so, to what extent?

Complications: 

Infection 

The wound will look different depending on severity of of infection - milder symptoms include redness & swelling. More severe symptoms - pus , fevers, cellulitis , abscess , tissue necrosis. Recovery looks different from non infected wounds (warning: photos are quite graphic)

The therapy of infected wounds is based on the knowledge of the pathophysiology of infection and on early diagnosis. The development of an i

Healing through secondary intention 

If he didn't receive sutures his wound would've healed via secondary intention. ( where it heals naturally ). The cheek isn't that favourable for this. Possible complications include contraction & distortion of surrounding tissue, lips & nose.

The dynamic between the two would totally be based off of how much they love their older brothers. I feel like thats what they would initially bond over as well
