Ꮺ ICHIKAWA RENO_cool touch, warm heart

⤷ your harmless intention for mischief backfired because you're weak for your husband ꒰ fluff + f. reader + tw. none ꒱

for as long as you've known reno, starting from high-schoolmates to husband and wife, you've always considered his presence calming. the moon to your night — ever present, yet serene without the need to impose. you love that about him, but you enjoy it all the more when the calmness breaks under the surface. being the loving partner you are, you took it upon yourself to cause him trouble for the fun of both of you.

it's a cold morning, and your body froze over. while reno had long woken up for his routinely exercise, you're still bundled in thick blanket on your shared bed. "good morning. did you sleep well?". you're still there when he greeted you, getting ready for a bath to freshen up. by how flustered he seemed, he must have worked hard with his training regime. compared to you, his skin must be on fire.

then the idea sparked. would the difference in temperature send a shock to his system, even a tiny bit to get a reaction out of him?

you quickly put your plan to action. "reno, reno", you waved at him to come closer. when he did, you gestured for him to lean closer to your face, as if you're about to whisper something to him. when he's close enough, you placed your palms on his cheeks, and a grin spreaded on your face.

there's a reaction, but not one you expected.

"are you this cold every morning? are you alright?", he took your palms in his and blew warm air on them, hoping to heat them up. "is it uncomfortable? would you like to bath in hot water? i can fill the tub for you".

you wanted to cry. you knew you've married such a kind soul. you didn't know being an angel is part of the package.

you should have thought that wielding a number weapon with ice power should make reno immune to a certain degree of coldness, and that your plan was doomed from the beginning. but as he kissed your forehead gently, you thought that this was a much better outcome to hope for.

Kowloon Generic Romance Episode 2 Review - That's Her, But Also Not Her

I have three theories on what’s going on in this episode and overall story. My first theory is that Kowloon is a simulation and Generic Terra oversees it. My second theory is that Kujirai is actually a clone of Kujirai-B and Generic Terra creates clones of people when they die. My third theory is that Kujirai is a clone, but Hebinuma is the one creating them. I’m an anime-only, so please let me know which of these three theories is the most plausible.

Let’s start with the discussion of my first theory. Why I think  Kowloon is a simulation is because of the previous episode. The characters talk about how Kowloon never changes and such. Since it’s revealed that Kudo and Kujirai-B had heart-to-heart moments of them under the sky without Generic Terra, it probably means that the actual Kowloon did break down in 1994 and that the one in the present is a simulation but made into a more modern setting while keeping the retro aesthetic. Why I think that is because some aspects of the present Kowloon looks too high-tech to be retro. For example: Yaomei’s door. From what we’ve seen in other buildings, they use regular wooden doors with knobs. Why is Yaomei’s door so high-tech compared to the others?

My second theory is that Kujrai is a clone of Kujirai-B. Hey, this is a sci-fi story so it’s a very plausible idea. However, I’m not too sure about this for the sheer fact that Kujirai-B’s death is unseen. Is she dead, though? Or did she get involved in something that caused her to lose her memories and have her voice changed? This also goes hand in hand with my simulation theory because Kujrai is currently 32 but Kujirai-B was 32 when she first met Kudo. How long ago did Kudo move to Kowloon and how does he look the same?

My third theory stems from the fact that, like Yaomei’s door, Hebinuma’s clinic feels very clean and modern that contrasts the setting. It’s all white and clean, as if it doesn’t belong there… On top of that, Hebinuma’s computer looks very modern, especially with how the monitor looks. Computers from the olden days were like blocks. On top of that, Hebinuma is a doctor, so he definitely gives off suspicious yet important vibes. Is he the one who created this supposed clone of Kujirai or was it is father? I’m leaning toward his father as Hebinuma was stated to have taken over the family business only recently…but how much of that is true?

This episode introduces to a lot of new characters. First, there’s Yaomei, a woman of mystery. All we know about her is that she has gotten a full body plastic surgery to run from her past. She gets along well with Kujirai despite it only being a day since they first met. Yaomei is someone who’s supportive of Kujirai’s love of Kudou, yet at the same time, she’s not with how often she doesn’t look too happy whenever Kudo is the subject of Kujirai’s talks. Because she’s mysterious, I do wonder if she has something to do with Generic Terra as she’s the one creating the mascot dolls.

There’s also Xiaohei, who’s a little girl, yet she appears older than she is as she was the one calling Kujirai, a real estate agent, instead of her parents, meaning she’s an adult, or at least old enough to fend for herself. Heck, when she went to the free counseling place, she was by herself too.

Next is Kujirai-B. She is possibly the real Reiko Kujirai, but there are three major differences from the current Kujirai. She has her ears pierced but Kujirai doesn’t. Their voices are different as Kujirai-B is voiced by Yuriko Yamaguchi of One Piece fame. Most of all, their personalities are much different as most of her mannerisms have been adopted by Kudo such as their love of soup dumplings and the idea that nostalgia is love. Anyone can tell Kudo had loved Kujirai-B so much because of this. He takes her quirks as a form of nostalgia, yet it’s also something he’s shackled by. The way he reacted towards Kujirai when she came to work with earrings similar to his lost love is proof of that. I do wonder what Kudo feels towards the current Kujirai…

Last is the very suspicious and creepy Hebinuma. First off, what is with his tongue? I get that it’s to fit his snake motif, but my gosh, that tongue… was he born like that? I wonder what his deal is. Why does he know so much about Kujirai? There’s something clearly unusual about him that’s for sure…

The voice cast for the new characters is stacked. Like I mentioned, Kujirai-B is voiced by Yuriko Yamaguchi, who’s most notable role is of Nico Robin from One Piece. It's did mention that usually veteran voice actresses will voice women in their 30’s and the choice to make the two Kujirais have different voice actresses only fuels up the mystery behind them. Yaomei is voiced by Aoi Koga which surprised me because I didn’t expect Koga to voice an adult. She’s known for voicing Kaguya from Love is War, Paimon from Genshin and Princess Ellee from Hirogaru Sky Precure, which they’re all of young girls. I think this is the first time I’ve heard Koga voice an adult. Sayumi Suzushiro voices Xiaohei. I’ve been seeing her name around a lot in anime recently. She’s definitely a rising star. Hebinuma is voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu, who’s known for roles like Byakuya Kuchiki from Bleach, Terra from Kingdom Hearts and Kokushibo from Demon Slayer. Okiayu sure did an amazing job amping up Hebinuma’s creepiness that it made me react the same as Kujirai…

Overall, I still love the mystery aspects of Kowloon Generic Romance. Since it’s only the second episode, not having anything answered makes sense. I do wonder when answers will start forming because I want to know what the heck is going on. Let me know your theories and speculations for this anime!

my personal take on kowloon generic romance ep. 2

they butchered the hell out of yaomay's appearance scene and i could only stare. like?? what happened to xiaohei guessing it right that kujirai is in love? and his/her dorky outfit and chant in front of yaomay's house? if you read the manga and paid attention, his/her "weapon" became a point of reference (albeit minor) in the future. AND THEY REMOVE IT? I WANT TO CRY

not kujirai trauma dump on yaomay the moment they met. this friendship is so doomed hell naur 💀 listen. i can understand if they're rushing it because they have a lot of things to cover in an episode but can't they at least do it properly... wdym genie terra was overflowering out of her front door at one point and the next, we saw her house looking decently empty as in enough to not cause the overflow in the first place huh?? the math is not mathing here.

how, like HOW did they manage to turn miyuki's lines to be somewhat lacking in mystery but also kinda fucked. at one point, i was like yeah that makes sense, but thinking back about it as it went, i also thought why are you so sus in a weird way? stop. i can't even explain this oh my god but i dont like how they twisted his words... can't they just stick to the original...

the overall pace of this episode is more miserable compared to the first episode (from the pov of someone who've read the manga). it's so hard for me to actually immerse myself in the feeling with how fast they are moving things (and how much they are removing things). they could have done a better job at revising the content they want to cover in such a short episode duration. at least make it makes sense?

loving xiaohei's tomboyish voice this episode tho yay

kujirai b's voice tho? rip. no disrespect for the seiyuu but she (kujirai b) sounds like a granny. also idk but her voice sounds like she's holding back from coughing? makes me so uncomfortable please just rest in peace reiko and don't appear again thank you.

me judging the episode be like:

[yoru-exe]

Ꮺ INUI SEISHU_shattered hearts under moonlight

⤷ you confronted your husband about the rumour of his cheating ꒰ angst, no comfort + celebrity au + tw. cheating ꒱

stepping into his home after a long day of being hunted by paparazzi was a respite seishu never quite felt before. although, he had to admit, he deserved this hell after what he did behind your back. drunk or not, he didn't intended to excuse himself out of it.

entering your shared bedroom, his sight fell on your figure against the tall window overlooking the night skyline. you're donning his dress shirt, the top buttons left undone. your gaze, misty from intoxication, shifted from the glass of wine beside you to your husband.

without warning, you rushed to him for an embrace. "i miss you", burying your face in his chest, you tightened your hold around his body, a telltale of an unspoken desire. if it weren't for the fact that he just cheated on you and that you're drunk, he would have comply without a second thought.

"i'm not touching you like this", as gently as he could, seishu peeled himself away from you. but your response sent chill down his spine. "so it's okay that you touched other woman drunk but not your own wife?", there's undeniable bitterness in your laugher. his eye twitched — you've found out.

he took a deep breathe, trying to steady himself albeit very much shaken with the situation he's not ready to deal with, "let's talk about this when you sober up, okay? i-".

your laughter changed to a sob, and nothing else came out of him. "what does she have that i don't? you know i'd do anything for you", the question hung in the air as you walked away to your shared bed on your own. he wanted to chase after you, but for some reasons, his feet stayed planted where he stood, "that's not it..".

"please go. i don't want you near me tonight".

to that, he didn't need to be told twice. he wanted to tell you that despite everything, you're still his one true love, but as he held the door open, he wondered if such thing would sound absurd considering what he'd done. so he left wordlessly, head hanging low in shame and regret. the wedding ring dangling down his chest felt icy cold and heavy. whatever warmth it had, snuffed.

[writtingcorvus]

about kowloon generic romance (kgr) first episode i have to say it's a bit disappointing... i think one of the best parts of the manga is that yes, the characters talk about the nostalgia, but you can feel it radiating from the pages too!! and at least this episode I don't think the anime got the vibe lol

and i do understand the decision to put everything until the picture reveal into the first episode, bc everything before is kind of an introduction so everything was a bit rushed and a lot was cut, but there are so moments i do miss (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) i hope the rest of the season does go slower and takes the time that's necessary to build the suspense, confusion and ROMANCE!!! (in the "love" way and the literal romance way)

Ꮺ HOSHINA SOUSHIRO_a touch too close

⤷ your act of kindness left hoshina with a bigger mess than he previously was in ꒰ fluff + f. reader + tw. none ꒱

the sound of footsteps filled the vice-captain's room as he got ready for his weekly meeting at the headquarter in a rush, "those will be the detail i need you to deliver to the science division- oh wait, i think i'm missing something. give me a moment". opening a drawer, he rummaged it's content with one hand while the other clumsily tried to fasten the button of his uniform.

from your seat in front of his table, you observed the rare sight of hoshina being so disoriented with a mixture of amusement and pity, something you have yet to witness even as his batchmate who's been through thick and thin together for so long.

then you heard him clicking of his tongue, an annoyed expression adorned his handsome face — the thread of the top button of his shirt had snapped. reluctantly, he abandoned the button and proceeded to search his drawer for the file he needed.

when he turned, he almost jumped to find you suddenly standing in front of him. "here, let me", carefully, you sewn the loose button with the uniform still on him. hoshina froze in place, hyperaware of how you've never been this close before.

"done. is it alright..?", you looked up and came face to face with him, only now realising the small space between you. "please forgive my impropriety, sou- i mean, vice-captain hoshina!", you quickly stepped back and apologised profusely. your ears turning red at the tip.

the response that came from him was a few seconds delayed as his mind turned into mush to the thought of your adorable face being so close to his just a few moments ago.

"i-i'll overlook that. thank you for your assistance. please pass this file along with the instruction. i'll take my leave now".

with that, the vice-captain was gone. he left so fast that you didn't even manage to respond properly, or see his flustered face.

little did he know that the cctv along the corridor had captured it. he better hope the third unit captain doesn't catch wind about what happened or he might have to endure a lifetime of teasing from her.

Ꮺ PHAINON_i'll catch you if you fall

⤷ after days of avoiding him, phainon finally caught you ꒰ fluff + f. reader + tw. none ꒱

it was a fine afternoon when a group of enthusiastic okheman boys asked phainon to teach them swordplay. seeing that he had no urgent business to attend to, he followed them to a grassy field where sat under a shady tree a familiar maiden, surrounded by little girls making flower crowns.

there you are, he thought. for once, you didn't bolt away from him (or at least because you hadn't noticed him yet). as he approached you, one of the girls took notice of him, alerting you of his presence. to his relief, you didn't make an immediate leave this time, albeit looking rather nervous. "phainon, look! i made this crown! do you think it'll fit papa?".

"i think it'll fit him perfectly! great job". receiving a headpat from the hero, she giggled in delight. then, phainon's attended shifted to you.

you visible flinched when phainon knelt beside you, "may i be so bold to ask why you've been avoiding me?".

"i-".

"she's not avoiding you, silly! she just need time to think of how to confess to you!", a girl appeared next to you, before her eyes widened to match yours and quickly covered her mouth, "ops".

it was quit saved for the gentle rustle of the leaves and grass before the hero chuckled softly, "you scared me for a moment there. i really thought i have caused you any offense", he smiled, and felt his cheeks warming slightly, "it seemed mnestia has blessed me".

before he could say anything more, the boys from earlier called for him from another side of the field, signalling that he had to go. his gaze stayed on you as he took your hand in his, "may i walk you home later? i believe we have matters to discuss".

who are you to say no?

you felt his smiled on your skin when he pressed a kiss to your hand. as you silently watched him leave, the children teased you that you really should have confessed sooner.

[mushroom-kin]

Mid-autumn festival, fish lanterns - Lu Guang, Cheng Xiaoshi & Qiao Ling

(I drew this piece while taking a break from a persona 5 piece.)

[materlux]

I am putting my 3 years of ancient greek and latin to use trying to deciper the Amphrous names, these are simple me having fun and theorizing, I don't work for Hoyo, this was just fun.

Okay so, Phainon in greek is "Φαινων", which is a participle form of the verb "φαινω" (faino), the verb means to bring to light, and thus the participle means bringing to light. So Phainon (Φαινων) means bringing to light.

Next up is Mydeimos, spelt "Μυδειμος" in greek, which is derived of "μυ" and "δειμος". "μυ" is a rewriting of μι’ which is a shortend version of μια and means one. "δειμος" is one of the greek words for fear, so Mydeimos (Μυδειμος) means one fear.

Aglaea (Αγλαεα in greek) is more simpler, being a different spelling of the word "αγλαια" meaning splendour, beauty or magnificence.

Anaxagoras is also simple, spelt Αναξαγορας in greek, and is named after a famous philosopher. Other than that, αναξ is also a greek word for lord or master and γοργας (the closest to goras i could find) meaning fear or terrifying, thus αναξ γοργας means lord fear or alternatively "lord of fear/master of fear."

Hyacine, Ὑασινε in greek, is from what I can conclude named after ὑακινθος (in greek)/hyacinthus (in latin), which is either the flower, hyacinth, or Apollo's lover, Hyacinthus, who he turned into said flower.

Castorice is one that made me laugh at first, because the latin word castor and the greek kαστωρ both mean beaver, castoris or καστορος then meaning beaver's. With further reading I think she's named a lesser known greek god, and not beavers. Castor plus the latin suffix -trix, later -ice in english, to make the name feminine. Castor and his twin brother Pollux are patrons of sailors.

And lastly (I chose to only do the characters we've met in game, I might add to this as the story progresses) is the one that made me sad, Tribios, Τριβιος in greek, created by adding the greek prefix τρι-, meaning three or three times, to βιος meaning life, thus Τριβιος means three life or life three times or three times life.

Followed by Tribbie, τριβιε, which honestly I think is just meant as a nickname, βιε is just a different form of the word βιος, so Tribbie and Tribios mean the same.

Trianne, Τριανε, has two options; either τρι + αν, αν here being a particle of emphasis, so "three!". Or τριαν, from τριας, which means three or triad.

And last is Trinnon, Τρινον, whose name made me the saddest, it can either be comprised of the prefix τρι- and the greek word νοον, from νους, meaning heart or soul, so three times heart/soul. Or the again the greek prefix τρι- and the latin non, meaning not, thus her name meaning not three.

I am now sad, and you all must suffer with the knowledge I now have. I am not sorry.
