Reze in Kazakhstan and their national dress (or other people of Central Asia). Резе в Казахстані і в казахському національному одязі.

It would be fun and cool to see Denji and Reze traveling around the world, and how they ended up in Kazakhstan or another country there. This outfit suits her.

By now I am very tired of the "weird/evil girl who is fixed/saved by the audience-insert generic anime boy by just showing her basic kindness". But I will forgive Kara no Kyoukai, obviously, because:

Mikiya Kokutou did it first

Mikiya Kokutou did it best

Mikiya Kokutou is very well designed not to be an audience insert, because in spite of his core genericness, he is a person with his own unique personality traits, quirks, and relationships. The series's real audience insert is a different guy and he doesnt get the girl

Mikiya Kokutou isn't just a generic vessel-for-kindness to be extended towards Shiki either, he is a character defined by his kindness written with commitment to that. He's nice to his girlfriend when she murders people, but also to the people trying to murder his girlfriend, and the people trying to murder him, and his girlfriend trying to murder him. Lesser writers would have given him a moment where his sense of justice brings him to angrily beat up one of the villains, but that's not who he is. He is kind to those the audience and the author wishes he wasn't, and to those you shouldn't be kind to. It's his personality and it doesn't just enable the romance but eventually threatens it as well.

Mikiya Kokutou brought her flowers every day for two years while she was in a coma, in spite of her having just put a knife to his throat. Hardly basic kindness. Could you do that? No. Humble yourself. Mikiya Kokutou is better than you and me.

Teutonic Word of the Week #2

stinccatt (noun.masc) - skunk

/ˈ stiŋkˌkat:/

This term for skunk is a calque of Texas German Stinkkatze, which literally translates to "stink-cat." I thought this was a very cute word, so I thought I would use it instead of loaning it from English (itself loaned from Abenaki segôgw).

[dizzyghoast]

every so often i remember how awesome the modern interconnected multicultural world is. i grew up getting to hear fairy tales from all over the world. africa, asia, europe, america. everywhere in between. i can have bagels for breakfast, curry for lunch, and ramen for dinner without even leaving the city limits. music and art and philosophy and technology that originated thousands of miles and years apart from eachother have come together and interwoven into something greater than the sum of its parts. its hard not fall into despair when thinking about the horrors but god. god the wonders.

[whenfirefades1]

this is why if i ever have kids that i'll raise them on a lot of multicultural stuff - i have a love of history, languages, food, and culture and i think passing that on is always a benefit, especially for kids

An Introduction to Teutonic (4): Pronouns, Determiners, and Articles

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Introduction This article primarily focuses on pronouns, but will also devote time to determiners (pronominal adjectives) and articles. For pronouns, they can be divided into four categories: personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, interrogative pronouns, and relative pronouns.

Personal Pronouns

These are similar to English I, you, he/she/they, y'all, and they in that they refer to something associated with a specific person (or persons) and/or object. They are often used when we want to refer to someone without specifying a name.

hi is mann "he is [a] man" versus Lars is mann "Lars is [a] man"

Like nouns and adjectives, they change their form depending on the speaker, case, and gender. Unlike nouns and adjectives, pronouns distinguish between nominative and accusative forms.

First-person and second-person pronouns do not decline for gender, whereas third-person pronouns do. However, they do not work the same way as in English - English third-person pronouns denote the natural gender of a subject or object, while in Teutonic they correspond to the object's gender.

Take this example sentence: hit is barn "he/she/they is a child." It literally translates to "it is child" because barn is a neutral noun. Pronouns corresponding to natural gender are triggered when proper names are used.

hit is barn, hia is Athalhed "she (lit. it) is [a] child, she is Alice"

Of note are the third-person reflexives. They are used when the action of a verb refers back to the subject; in other words, object and subject are both the same. These forms only apply for the third-person forms, requiring the usage of the standard accusative for first and second-person pronouns

hia lufia sic "she loves herself"

ic lufia mic "I love myself"

Another important element about pronouns is that the second-person plural pronouns (equivalent to English y'all) are used in formal situations (such as with teachers, government officials, etc.). This is called the T-V distinction in linguistics. Compare the two sentences:

o hae min friond, hvat dost thu in dag? "oh hey my friend, what are you doing today?" god dag min cyng, hvat doth ii in dag? "good day my king, what are you doing today?" lit. "good day my king, what do y'all in day?" Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns are used to indicate that an object or subject is owned by someone or something. They operate like if pronouns were adjectives, and have such match the possessed in case, number, and gender. They go before the possessed object.

hit is min hund "that is my dog" versus Icelandic það er hundurinn minn (lit. that is the-dog my)

The possessive pronouns are derived from the genitive forms of personal pronouns.

Interrogative/Relative Pronouns

Most interrogative pronouns have equivalents in English, formed through the hv- (English wh-) stem.

Some important adverbs, like hvar "where" are also formed from the hv- stem.

The relative pronoun is tha, which is used as the relative pronoun (cognate to Old English þæt) in between clauses.

Determiners and Articles

Determiners are another form of adjectival pronouns which describe something already established (that, this, etc.). The most common determiner is sa, meaning both "that" and "this." If you want to distinguish between this versus that, you'd have to also use the adverb har "here."

sa raendior "this reindeer"

sa har raendior "this here reindeer; that reindeer"

Teutonic lacks traditional articles, equivalent to English "a/an" and "the" to mark if an object is indefinite or definite. As a substitute, the determiner sa can be used.

Rethwulf sa raendior mid roude nase "Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer" [lit. Rudolf this reindeer with (a) red nose]

The OG fromsoft level up maiden

[lesbianholyspirit]

Maiden Astraea with blood and plague creeping up her white dress, at the very bottom of a level entirely devoted to the concept of Kegare (defilement/death/uncleanliness/impurity). She is convinced that she can “help” these people by stripping them of their souls, taking away what makes them human but “relieving” them of their suffering. She is a holy maiden meant to represent purity, and yet she is the most impure demon of them all. She is surrounded by disease, death, and dead baby corpses that will fuck you up if you accidentally drop down near them during her fight. You don’t actually fight her at all, you fight her knight (friend? lover? you never actually find out) Garl Vinland, and once he’s dead she kills herself.

Demon’s Souls, no one has done it quite like you and no one ever will.
