Small Cimarron Ocean's Society Research Vessel

"Bronzedoorknob"aka bronzie★ This is my KKM sub-blog and it may come with some probably weird English + large part of contents in the tags. Basically I'm [Saralegui+Small Cimarron/Seisakoku] centered but the blog certainly isn't. main blog: lovelyskydarkuniverse. still not mastering tumblr....

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

And yet another one (oi) is that

The official fanbook to the novels that is MA-Hon has in it a passing mention on how Takabayashi Sensei and GEG having had a little word-play for freelance work starting with MA (in katagana looks rather similar to YA) to put people in mind of yakuza.

(look for the page for the first volume you'll find it)

This means gangster!AU.

This means so many in fact too many things making sense in new ways and in places they used to make other sense (.....) very excitingly.

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

But. Before I can get every single thing from the Journey of Canon sorted out to write linearly and responsibly.

One of the not-sure-good-or-bad-the-point-is-maybe-only-in-that-unseen-percentages-are-unlocked-well-probably things from having finished the jpn canon.

(Slipping another in: I really enjoyed the Prison Arc and the last volume of Seisa Arc where everything is moving so vigorously forward. Not that any other volume was un-exciting, Ma never can be [sinful triple negative], but seeing sensei running all gears at a solution she's so good at was really exceptionally Memorable. I kinda treasure how this is now see-able whenever that little bunkobon is read. Bunkobons are so incredibly tiny for that experience.)

Is discovering my previous take on how Saralegui appears in the eyes of Shinma people (or mainly Yuu, whether you look for ship or plot clues a large part really would be Yuu. or in fact character study... I still don't think I know my boi very well) when Seisa ended was surprisingly rather more pessimistic than things look?? Even before the final volume there were conversations mildly....under control. (Yuu-chan really is very good with people. He's kind to general suffering strangers and affable with his circle and doesn't panic during and after crises. Not something I can pull off even at well past 16.) And the boys parted ways more-or-less-friendly talking about truths of the arc/what has been brought up on Alazon, and about Yelshi and Seisa: about how he will see and where he'll head. Though not in a close way but you don't really do this kind of talk while standing very far apart (or was it Sara breaching where they stand by earlier talk and actions) and there's no distant "good riddance". I don't know what to think about this even now (though seeing how traumatized Yuu is in Prison Arc about a king being responsible for people that work for him, the inclination is to still think about it as what happens between roles, and maybe also something from Hazel--in MA the female characters are actually really important come to think of everything from Suverera--not really about personal views or feelings. i do even have more on this though it would be about Sara and Yelshi) but it certainly is more open-space a view than what I thought it was all about. Me being me this has gone to fuel how to look at sensei's possible plans of the book. Not in-house, but in a way dougyousha, a little further than colleagues. You also be decent to build your ideal world without excluding the overly-a-handful-scheming-dictator. But they may not even come live in it. And that's...ok? and that's the final shape of the world your share, or maybe not final because things have been changing and there seems to be major plot ahead. But you have shared a journey and some fogs and been cleared away and you are on I-know-you-to-the-bottom-of-that-abyss-of-yours-and-you-probably-know-me speaking terms.

My pet theory of 2018 (last sane day of my life, nearly) was that in the first four books there is a certain amount of Saralegui in the background being shiny with sins and bloods. Even before that there was the "passing through Small Cimarron in Carolia Arc has some info on him too", admittedly from being hungry for any info at all. And I thought Seisa was his Arc as in him in action, or in plain narrative, or unthinking innocent things like that. But no. It was just for getting to know him. And probably things that are known would not even stay in one place for the purpose of what story might be waiting to happen. (From the Earthly Soukokus it really seems to be about living your own life in between other's wills....the thing Murata mentions with Kenja's soul records in Until He Becomes Maou, and the thing Harry Potter is supposed to be about too.....MA is definitely very compatible with the experience of living as a female person in Asia and fits very comfortably with me...well, you're reminded it was marketed as Shoujo Shousetsu, and know for a fact it does a very good job on every front)

Sensei says we're at 60-70 percent into the story. Seeing how meticulously MA is written, I shudder and also hope to think.

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

Do I dare think it: Saralegui's old quest of spotting patterns and getting power and being actually excellent at what he does just think about the background made up of the first 4 volumes i say this as a fan but this is horror has factually surreptitiously ended when canon happens (actually when Carolia Arc happens)--and not even snapped but has achieved a visible ending though not one he's had in mind--and he actually has a lot of free time/agency on hand from being freed up from that box-finding-efficiency and that free time is the next journey.

Yes I say free time. Not even the freedom of making choices about the future outside of any influence from other wills and persons, which is secretly only getting to become my privately reached conclusion this year (slow reader. though I finally managed time-that-counts to finish the jpn canon! congrats to self) on where the canon might be headed.

Still can't get over how Yuu-chan's skillset is entirely order made from Shinou (which means Thematic and which means possibly Saralegui as the other side might also have something along these lines, which would very well likely be what has the chance to have been planned between Alazon and Gilbert. You can definitely see e.g. none of these 2 are thinking about other heirs: the twins being human-shinzoku/shinzoku-human is entirely plot-important, and also not just what the twins themselves have in mind cf. MA-Song.) which certainly means Shinou is really trying to do something unthinkable (not in a bad sense), like getting meta and not treating Yuu-chan's people skills as the amiable, peaceful bless it is but something to wash the world off what he doesn't think should be there with. Like what happens and is a bit likely to be taken seriously by Saralegui and maybe so forced into reality in MA-Box.

Somehow I don't think that's above or beneath Shinou. He would have very thinking-out-of-the-box-no-i-was-never-in-the-box capacities, being the shinso of mazokus/chaotic aligners + also being plausibly good at war (at least very drawn to war). Down the line it could very well be the reader's heart being torn between "OK Shinou does his war and not even in a way Kenja would object to so this is good...?" and "but kindness is not seen as kindness but so Used from somewhere above the board that's bound to be something not too good....?". With Yuu-chan's views and reactions being what might resolve the whole dilemma (I trust sensei).

But ofc all assumptions, and not to be taken too seriously. Except by me...this haunts me....

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

Very sudden canon theory.

I remember marumafan-senpai has once focused on how Wolf's surname is a famous non-existent place-name. (If it was someone else, curse my memory powers with me please.)

We know Shinou has ....probably more than one, but at least one, significantly mentioned beloved older brother.

Although Shinou is described to look like a von Bielefeld or von Spitzberge....

Is it too impossible if none of the families is Shinou's actual blood but they are his family's? Is it possible the non-existence of Bielefeld the very same non-existence of Shinou's father's country likely having been destroyed and totally used meaningfully? Are von Bielefelds or von Spitzberges maybe his father or brother's descendants?

(I dunno how I seem to remember people posting about something from T sensei herself <even a short story? though this seems unlike sensei who seems to be keeping the mysteries to herself before any futher books even with the publishing of Ma-hon> that involved Shinou and a female subordinate. Is this an actuality......?)

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

i'm back i feel able to attack the afterwords again.

also it turns out the bananas and snacks Neta in vol.2's afterword wasn't about just eating bananas as snacks at all, twas about going on a school trip with snacks totalling no more than a certain amount of money.

after i know this it turns out it just takes one(1) googling, sorry for the slip..editting this bit when i get other vols' ready and find me password on bakatsuki.

afterwords- ○finally

reading canon- ○maybe can do better

Saralegui music vid- still not capable to make

doodling- dead

communicating- doubtful skills

it does speak volumes, yeah whenever a time period of me life only adds to language understanding skills i completely lived outside of the physical world

Maruma novels in China

I heard something strange.

Because watching the Yuuram’s video in BILIBILI website (Like a YouTube of China) in this year, I retrieved the love of Wolfyu. (Yuuram is ok for me now. I think both of them are the same.) I read these novels(KKM) 14 years ago, but I didn’t want to find any other resource of KKM’s on the net then. I started to search them and met some Yuuram’s fans of China a few months ago. They told me some terrible things about the rumors of KKM. It really shocked me.

The Yuuram’s fans left the ship in China.

They knew Yuuram and loved them because of animate. They weren’t willing to read the original of KKM, because someone spread the rumors that Conyuu is canon in novels without any Yuuram. In this era of network development, those rumormongers spread not only this rumors but also other rumors of all of Maruma authority are Conyuu’s fans including author, painter and official staffs. It made an amount of Yuuram’s fans in China sad and broke their hearts. They didn’t know why Takabayashi sensei let Wolf got engaged to Yuuri. They thought It was unfair for Wolf after being told the canon is Conyuu. Those rumors made many of them so sad that they left this ship. Until now, many Yuuram’s fans of China believe those rumors. They also tell me the animate of KKM was ever popular in China until playing KKM 3rd season. But Wolfram’s fans were still many in that time. I know KKM 3rd season is not good. That’s one of the main reasons they left quickly. The others are those rumors.

Someone did sinister things to Yuuram.

I tell them the truth. They start to read the novels and manga. After reading those, they never believe rumors that Conyuu is canon. They say it’s incredible that they have been tricked for 12 years. It’s “two wrongs make a right”. Recently, we found the original of “Love Letter” and translated it. They were as mad as hell because seeing incomplete version in Chinese before. That lost some parts of Yuuram and misinterpreted of the original. It made like a Conyuu novel more. That someone translating it is a Conyuu’s fan. They told me that Conyuu’s fans not only spread the rumors but also attacked Yuuram’s fans.

The one: They even grabbed the Baidu (the search engine of China) personal webmaster of Wolf’s and destroyed it a few years ago. Yuuram’s fans found that and complained to Baidu Official Website. This matter was resolved.

The other: They impersonated Yuuram’s fans to attack themselves and took a screenshot. They spread that Yuuram’s fans were too extreme to get along with them with a false evidence.

I don’t know what to say that because it’s so preposterous and unbelievable. How crazy they were!

Now we do somethings.

My friends and I know that it’s not all of Conyuu’s fans like them. But the crazy people are more than rational ones’ very much. We think they are so jealous of “Royal Couple” that they do those terrible things.

Anyway, we decide to translate the shorten-novels in Chinese by ourselves. In Chain, they can’t search the resources of KKM on foreign website due to some restriction. I provide those resources and my friends translate those. We want to let the Maruma’s fandom see the full translation. It’s a huge project. We hope that rumors will be disappeared after promoting correct information in China. I believe we can do it.

[pollovae]

I was one of those Chinese people who loved the royal couple. I was young and I couldn’t read English or Japanese well back then. Every source about Kyo Kara Maou in the (ancient) Baidu forums said the original author intended it to be conyuu. I thought the author must have hated wolf so I eventually left the fandom. I’m so glad I recently googled Kyo Kara Maou again (must be gods intention or something lmao). I’m now reading the novel and it’s soooo blatantly Royal Couple!! I’m just so happy, and I hope Takabayashi sensei continues the series.

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

Wow, wait, Sensei meant to strike a reference to Sarazanmai in Sara's halloween short story back in 2019??? I just found out there're a lot of Kappas and also something very Sara-ish is in the captions.......

手放すな、欲望は君の命だ。

(Don't lose your grip, your desires are your life.)

....The connection is really as thin as the title reading Sara(plates)-zanmai(3 pieces) where one would remember (one would likely not) the short story opening with the idea of collecting 3 copies of Sara's portrait card (though this title probably means going-after-plates-all-the-time), and the occurrence of Kappas, plus the mere presence of the creator Ikuhara-san.

I wonder how Sensei's world is fabricated and if there're movie/anime production references.....coming to think of it just this minute, there must be more than movie/anime concept/plot/chara references....

(Deff watching this next....)

[sad-weiying]

KKM fandom are we still alive?? ;w; 

[redglassesgirl-maruma]

If you're still taking Maruma requests, could you please draw Wolfram and Yuuri on an Earth date please?????😃😃

A casual date where they just chill and Yuuri teaches Wolf how to listen music in some device. He’s probably listening something classical xD

[wwy009]

Merry Christmas!! :)

Wanted to do the sketch as quick as possible don’t mind the mess :). The gift idea is from the side story you know ;).

[marumafan]

OMG you did the side story! ^^ I love that one~! Merry Christmas!

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

The side story!! Yuuri as Santa is the bestQvQ

A very late Merry Christmas to you!

[marumafan]

It was a tough year, here’s to a better one ~ Happy 2020 everyone~

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

Happy 2020 and may it be a nicer year to all of us MA friends!

The Doujinshi of this winter, Sensei says there’re plans to set up mail order for it!!!!!!!

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO PEOPLE!!!

[wwy009]

Although I can’t translate it on my phone but yay!!! 🙆

[marumafan]

Ah yes, if you can get this doujinshi it would be the best purchase you’ve ever made, because it’s a compilation. Basically it has all of Apollo 00, Apollo 01 doujinshis (Alice, Contact, It happens to everyone), plus Lame Star Wars, plus Love Letter plus the tweets and the second part of it happens to everyone (new), and a story called Shibuya’s(new). This is truly a find, and it’s going to kill the old reselling of doujinshi. If you can get your hands on one, absolutely go for it. The price was only 600yen at comiket.  About 300 people bought the doujinshi before me at comiket (before 10:30). I had to stand in a long line to get to mine ^^. 

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

Thanks for the details~ still haven't got any from my proxy-san who's doing all 4 days of comiket purchases and is probably overloaded right now...bless the hero!

I can't believe it's just 600 yen for all these contents plus Temari sensei's cover pics this is outrageously friendly pricing ;;v;;

(Did you get the embroidering kit XDD? It sounded like fun and yes I wonder if Senseis plan to do this in sync(?) with the perfumes and if there would be other ones in the future...)

[marumafan]

2019- 92 and 93 set - Earth life~ I guess it’s not AU anymore, anything can happen if we open the Earth door~ I’m so rusty… I need to draw more often 

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

It's home where the heart belongs TVT

I love the idea of the bois going to buy Wolfie a tablet><

THE DOORS.......

[agusuraniana]

I made for myself a kkm charm~~

I had an urge to make myself a charm with my bbs to hold on my phone (even though it turned way too big so I’ll put it on my pencil case)

What it says it’s very Argentinian so I’ll try to translate it but it won’t make so much sense

W- I’ll roast you asshole

Y- calm down

W- okay uwu

It’s way funnier in Spanish

[marumafan]

LOL XDDD But damn the images are so cute~

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

Who was getting roasted? XDDD

They're adorable and i love how the charm looks><

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

I WAS WRONG

IT’S STILL THAT SAME ENDING IT’S NOT LOOKING “WOW SO MUCH IS UNRESOLVED =IT WOULD NEVER END RIGHT HERE =CAN WE LOOK FORWARD TO A 2ND SERIES!?” (although i still hope for it from the bottom of my heart….)

every time the topic of living on earth came up it’s “will be living like this”, with Gwen and with Wolf, this I somehow didn’t pick up from reading about it in English……(;° ロ°)

and with the script-book-skip-reading i intentionally didn’t look hard where the drama was ending but when Mura phoned Yuu-chan to pick him up from the dream Yuu-chan was saying they seem to be living like refugees/exiles(亡命者)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH SENSEI??!!?

~

LISTENING LOGS folded:

(most of which just random and casual and not of much value, only a fan has to gibber so it must be post)

Keep reading

[marumafan]

“亡命者みたいに暮らし” ->“Living like exiles” is just an appreciation by Yuuri of the fact that the characters don’t consider Shin Makoku their home anymore, because of the ‘never specified’ event that forced them to leave. The fact that something really bad happened is the most obvious when Wolfram says it’s not their country anymore, which was pretty sad when you recall how much Wolfram loved Shin Makoku.

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

You saved me from the abyss of "do they also have to live a very low profile on Earth after they're already leaving their world (before they can go back)" which was where I went from the fact that everyone is living largely saparated from one another and even with Yuu visiting and their lives going on they're so alone....

Come to think of it this situation is just "it's the final solution they're not going back" when everyone is settled on their own and for quite some time....

Wolfie ;_; Everyone ;_;
