I really can’t praise this show’s commitment to historical and linguistic accuracy enough, just found out they cast actual Mongolian sumo wrestlers to do the Mongolian dialogue in here.

I thought they were going to switch back to Japanese long term after the episode opened with the Mongols speaking that, but nope, they’re committed to it, especially when it’s time to emphasize the cultural divide between the Persian locals and their invaders. This shit makes the linguistics/history degree in me so excited lol.

looking for animal references on image searches has always kind of sucked but it's much worse after AI image generation technology has begun to actually past muster, which is why i always just go straight to inaturalist. can't recommend this highly enough. you get to both find out about niche species you've never even heard of and also see some really good photographs like this one

you know those studies showing that cursing helps with pain tolerance or whatever. that’s how i feel about making my weird little noises to get through my basic daily activities. sometimes you just have to go hggblaaaah for a minute so you can find the strength within yourself to get up or wash the dishes or send an email. mmmnneh. urgh. the torments are unending but you can always make some little sounds about it.

imho when you have 200,000,000 olfactory receptors and perceive the world predominantly by smell you probably don’t have to press your cold wet nose directly against my bare skin to get a good whiff of where I’ve been

i've started making an effort to say "good dog" to parsnip instead of "good girl", because bizarrely this has the effect of making me feel more impressed by whatever she's accomplished. the breadth of things that can be achieved by entities you might refer to as "girls" or "boys" is so much greater than the things "dogs" can achieve, so reminding myself that she's a dog when i congratulate her on something makes me appreciate her hard work a little more....

THE NINETY-NINE EFFICACIOUS FURSONAS

I have told you of the deadly fursonas which may be cultivated through martial arts and sorcerer’s ways, but among my readers there are gentle souls whose conscience would not allow them to seek fursona through violence. It is to them that I address this depiction of the NINETY-NINE EFFICACIOUS FURSONAS.

While a DEADLY BATTLE FURSONA’s sole aim is violence, each of the NINETY-NINE EFFICACIOUS FURSONAS accomplishes a useful end of its own. Those who undertake self-discipline through employment in bureaucracy may attain the CONSTELLATION-STRIPED OKAPI, an ephemeral manifestation of alien beauty that befuddles its viewers most severely. The DOLEFUL GENTLEMAN BLOBFISH enables survival at any extreme of environment, but can only be mastered through rigorous suffering. Each fursona has its purpose, written in the genderless imperator’s register of the ninety-nine, and each their own unique path of discipline and self-mastery to achieve. Some of their number are useful for everyday tasks, like the mighty deadlift weight of JUGGERNAUT BABOON or SINUOUS RATTLESNAKE COQUETTE’s self-brushing teeth.

Others, numbered among the latter third of the NINETY-NINE EFFICACIOUS FURSONAS, provide incredibly powerful solutions to problems that no one has ever had. CRIMSON CRAWDAD PATERFAMILIAS converts inebriation into music. WICKED MONSTER HORSE bays out monstrous roars at a frequency that could only be heard by black holes or hyper-dogs. PERDURANT OCELOT has always, retroactively, existed. To master such a fursona is a twofold ordeal, demanding not only self-discipline but imagination, finding everyday applications for their esoteric and idiosyncratic miracles.

"none of these words are in the bible" you don't know that. we don't know for sure what every hapax legomenon strictly translates to. maybe "קִפוֹז" means "klance foot kink pwp." you don't know that.

Disney is doing crazy things in the japanese mobile game sphere rn

[mochlus]

you may be familiar with disney twisted wonderland, the gacha game in which various disney villains are used as direct inspiration for handsome anime boys. well that game was so successful that disney is trying to do it again but this time they're just animeboyifying whatever

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

Yeah it's her. they made an anime boy version of the mean receptionist slug. her name is roz btw, as all of boygachagame twitter has become extremely aware of in the past 3 days as we speculated prior to the release of the full image who tf the third guy was. the anime boy's name is "noah slugger". at this point no parody of the types of things gacha games will make gijinkas of will ever be able to live up to what disney is officially spending their own real money on designing
