hi I am synth, this is my main blog. i am 22, aroace and nonbinary. if you are from one of my sideblogs, hiii.

my art tag is #synth's art if I ever bother to post.

if you need anything specific tagged, just ask me. warning for minors: I don't mind if you follow me but keep in mind I talk about adult topics and what not here at times. I also reblog some suggestive stuff but not downright nsfw. tell me if you are uncomfortable with me following you.

get outta ereeee if you are radfem/terf or proship or just very shitty behaviour in general. should be obvious.

Evil wizard tasteful pin-up magazine but it's all photos of like, skinny old goths coyly fingering cursed amulets, long-bearded sorcerers doing the 'oopsie' pose as their corrosive destruction spell destroys enough of their own robes to show some skin, naked desiccated lich king positioning his staff of human skulls just so it leaves something to the imagination, dark knights in full armor just holding their soul-eating blades out in front of their codpieces, orc chieftain who did not understand the assignment and is posing with a monster he killed like one of those guys-with-fish photos. Or maybe he DID understand the assignment. Hmm.

michaels added a feature for a while in sept. 2020 where shoppers could ask questions that would be answered live by other shoppers anonymously. which led to some good michaels interactions.

My art for Lupin III fanzine! (I like Reddy and I wanted to draw a rare character for the zine.)

[anniegamgee]

My wife, who has never seen Lupin III: do you think that Goemon in the bedroom does the sword thing where he unsheathes the sword real quick and objects get cut but instead of the sword he is stroking his cock real fast just once

Me, intrigued: and then he cums after a 2 second pause?

Her, shaking her head: and then LUPIN cums after a 2 second pause.

When you've watched Lupin III as much as I have (particularly in Japanese), you've noticed Lupin using this particular phrase pretty often:

English subtitles tend to translate it as "thanks" or "keep up the good work", but the actual meaning in the context of how Lupin uses it is more nuanced than that.

In Japan, ご苦労 (ごくろう) is a common expression in the work environment. 苦労 roughly translates to "hardship", and the ご before it is an honorific prefix added to expressions to show respect to the person you're addressing.

Say you work somewhere in Japan, and you've assigned someone who works under you a task, and they're putting in the effort. When you want to express appreciation for their efforts, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, you say "ご苦労". If you want to be more polite about it, you can add the formal 様 (さま) to the end of it ("ご苦労様"). (There's also "お疲れ(様)", which has a similar meaning but is used towards one's colleague or superior; "ご苦労(様)" is exclusively used towards one's subordinate.)

When Lupin says "ごくろうさん", he usually addresses some police or security force that just failed to apprehend him despite their efforts. That may seem respectful on the surface, but you'll note that, instead of appending 様 to the end, Lupin uses さん, which is also a formal suffix but not quite as formal as 様. This makes the expression sound more flippant than polite, and can come off as sarcastic or belittling (plus him writing it in hiragana also adds a tinge of childishness to it). Considering Lupin's large ego backed by his great skills as a thief, it's clear that Lupin is deliberately using this expression as a subtle condescending insult.

The closest English interpretation of how Lupin uses ごくろうさん would be along the lines of "Awww, you tried! That's adorable! 😂".
