Hey, I know I'm jumping into the fucking flames with this, but as someone with both skin in the game literally and figuratively I think you're sort of making some gigantic jumps in terms of interpretation here, and that's honestly...dangerous? 🧵
@reservoirmonks
The duality of "Oh my god. They're partners in everything. Made for each other. Invented love" and "One definitely has a cigarette burn on the tit from the other"
Or, more importantly, don't make light of sexual assault if you want to hate on a character! Congrats on the clicks, I guess, but it feels really suspicious and fucked that you want your interpretation to be the only interpretation while doing some "localization callout post!"
First and foremost, just because I have a Japanese language degree doesn't mean I'm THE authority. I got some feedback from someone who speaks it fluent, who lives there, and IS Japanese, and got the same conclusion as what I found.
It's information literally available on Jisho. If you want to use a more specific dialect dictionary, you get the exact same results. Injecting "molestation" or "SA" to the definitions is asinine, esp when there's absolutely other verbs that could've been used appropriately.
嬲る is more used for bullying! It could've been 虐める but that's one in the same! 悩ます! 痴漢! There's no reason to take the ironic form of 可愛がる and create a high quality false narrative video!
alright. here's the blank template with transparent bg. please let me know if you're going to use it though! and obviously don't remove the credit. it's there for a reason lol. thanks!
"wow I really love this character he's so complex and interesting and important to the main story and there are so many interesting ways to analyze his backstory"

Hey! You! Don't you want a sweet treat to beat the heat, and the evil spirits? If you pre-order the wonderful

Dungeon Meshi Cookbook Zine, you can perhaps see my recipe on how👀🍧
I'm not qrting that tasteless RGG father's day post but no one is allowed to say I'm nuts for still not trusting how they're gonna treat women in games if the first pic they use is a parent physically disciplining someone
Muting this, this is a lot of eyes, but uhhh if you live in the US, or even an EU country that abstained in the recent UN vote, call your reps about a permanent ceasefire:
I FREAKN PULLED IT OFF KASUGA ICHIBARS ARE FINISHED. No that isn't chocolate bloom it's the light reflection trust me I tempered it right. 66% chocolate with senbei cracker, strawberry, and light toffee🍘
I printed a massive paperback of a fic as some one-of-a-kind merch bc if I can't be my own hype man, who will❤💚😂
Big thank you to
@slowestofsins
for letting me add text to his amazing art for a cover! 😭
It's come to my attention that I never posted pictures of the brainrot eyeshadow I put together with a refillable palette, and a lovely custom sticker from
@slowestofsins
. Never let the merch of your dreams stay dreams!! Give into your delusions!!! :')
I've been generously surprised with a lovely paper piece from

of 🌟THEM🌟 along with a bunch of goodies and a super sweet note!! Thank you again for everything😭🥺
I'm still incredibly tired and processing the less than 48 hour trip to LA just for the RGG event but I had so much fun and got to meet so many new people and now need to hibernate 100 years💕🥹🫰

LoCaLiZaTiOn WeAkEnS a WrItErS sToRy holy fuck listen I might be a subs over dubs gal but that's so stupid, weren't we all collectively enjoying the fact they added the fitting idiom of Akame "Having fingers in everyone's pie"
......I am beginning to think I have a problem and the problem is that I am running out of room in my Ichinan itabag for when Akira makes charms hdjdhdjd
As the logical conclusion to "Yakuza: Like a Dragon got me back into college," to commemorate graduating and at least taking a jlpt, one permanent Ichiban memento :)
For the record I love this commission so much that I also made a photo card of it with the funniest tiny glittery gun sticker (no but really they're a great artist to work with!😄)
I'm one of those people who goes nuts over 150K fics that encompass every emotion about pairings I obsess over. There wasn't one for Ichinanba so I made it myself. I have never stuck with a commitment this long and thank you anyone who's ever read even a word of it 😭
What is an opinion/issue you have with Yakuza/Like a Dragon games that you know is just "a you problem"?
I'll start: I'd love to see (more) morally gray protagonists for a change. I think the protags we have seen are very easily likable.
@ishioda_reiji
I gave them to my cat after he got neutered so he could feel better about himself /s jHFKJD THANK YOU. THIS MANY EYEBALLS ON ME IS A LOT.
What do you MEAN you haven't heard of Yokohama metal sensation Jigokunabe?
Big thanks to
@CrushoSupreme
for allowing me to print this on a shirt, gotta represent my favorite bassist😆
Me when closing out the z1ne: Ah man, this might be the last hurrah. Nanba might be stuck on the sidelines. He'll be forgotten. One last Cope for the road.
Me now and still full of delusions: Clearly I am god's favorite and most special cookie. Third billing. Eat me.
"I hate it when ppl hate on Nanba for "betraying Ichiban" then turn around and suck Zhao's T-dick" HI ARE WE MOOTS, I WILL SEND YOU A BOX OF MY SHORTBREAD LMAOOOO
Insane amount of people looking at me on this hellscape so I decided I wanna give away some fic. The usual pairs are up for grabs but if someone asked for JE/LJ, dgs, wha, gasp, one piece?? Even character study could be fun🤔
🐲 Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth x Matsumoto Shave Ice 🍧
Ichiban and the iconic Local Girl are featured in a limited collection including a t-shirt, hoodie, and sticker, available now!
🛍Buy these online or at their Haleiwa, Hawaii store today!
Probably going to make a thread of bits of my trip so that'll be here and probably not used as much as you'd think because I'll be living it up sldhsgkdl so anyway

this hotel water pressure feels like I'm being power washed I'm in heaven
Ah, I should also probably post my finished worktl too😅 I wrote a fic for the
@ichinanbazine
along with well...making the zine itself! It's post Chapter-10 and mega sappy.
I got mad at Rellana so I finished putting together my new bag 🥰 I have to save room for that other ria charm and a can badge waiting for me in proxy jail
Incredibly proud of how the kohakutou tarts turned out! 🤩 it was fun to learn how to make them and super satisfying to bite into. There's pumpkin custard and chocolate ganache in the tarts!
Seems like I got quite a few new followers after being the niche fandom's secondary main character of the day, so. Hi?? I talk a lot about baking, Nanba Yu, my cat Popkin, TGAA, and whatever new tv shows/games I find. I promise I'm not very interesting ._."

Hi, just coming here to get blocked be mentioning feminism! You're the poster child for why esports and gaming have a long way to go. You're awful! :)
