Superstitions, in my OPM? Pshaw.

Some japanese superstitions because we're in psychic sisters arc and shit boutta get supernatural. But also because Saitama had a bad feeling due to his intuition.

Breaking a comb or the cloth strap of a geta wooden sandal is an omen of misfortune

A significant portion of Japanese superstition is related to language. Numbers and objects that have names that are homophones (Dōongo / Dōon Igigo (同音語 / 同音異義語, lit. "Like-Sound Utterance" / "Like-Sound Different-Meaning Utterance")) for words such as "death" and "suffering" are typically considered unlucky (see also, Imikotoba). Other superstitions relate to the literal meanings of words. Another significant part of Japanese superstition has its roots in Japan's ancient pagan, animist culture and regards certain natural things as having kami. Thus, many Japanese superstitions involve beliefs about animals and depictions of animals bringing about good or bad fortune.

Number 9 is sometimes pronounced ku — with the same pronunciation as agony or torture. Combs (kushi) are rarely given as presents as the name is pronounced the same as 9

There are six numbers that are considered unlucky in the Japanese culture and they are 4, 9, 13, 42, 43, 49.

Number 39 sounds like...

さん (san) く、きゅう (ku, kyuu)

which translates to literally "Thank you"

Hmmm....

*something something that personality type often believes in supernatural*

The lucky numbers in the Japanese culture are Number 7 which is considered lucky because of its importance in Buddhism and number 8 which is considered because of its shape.

I already made meta about Genos and maneki neko.

Use of the Maneki Neko or "lucky cat". Many businesses such as shops or restaurants have figures of such beckoning cats, which are considered to be lucky and to bring in money and fortune.

That a lot of superstitious references already.

If a funeral hearse drives past, one must hide one's thumbs in a fist. The Japanese word for "thumb" literally translates as "parent-finger". Hiding it is considered protection for one's parents. If this is not done, one's parents will die

Kind of distantly resembling funeral hearse but eh. Anonymous, black car and black suits.

You probably see red a lot in Japan, especially on the shrine gates and temples. It is believed that red can protect people from evil and disaster. However, do not buy anything red to your friends as a house warming gift. Japanese think red associate fire, which might bring bad luck such as fire accidents to the new house.

Just when I had thought about Saitama's new door being automatically locked and wondering about what if there was an emergency and someone with without superhuman strenght wanted to get in.

"Oh" moment.

Feeling superstitious yet?

I mean, there was also a housefire in Mob psycho and Mob almost lost it when he saw fake bodies of his family dead there.

Fake memories could do the same thing...

Black represents a powerful and tough image, as you can see the black belt in Judo and Karate athletes. It also represents evil and destruction, as Japanese often describes (same as the West), evil people have a “black heart”. Especially when used alone, black represents mourning, and is often worn to funerals. However, with the growing popularity of Western conceptions of black-tie events, it has been a clot of formality too.

White White is the color of snow, which can mean starting on a blank page, returning to the roots, and treating someone coldly. This peaceful color stands for purity and truth but can also denote death and mourning. Pearl white is the most popular color in cars in Japan.

When Saitama's cape used to be red, instead of white. Haa.

Red In Japan, red is generally associated with public phones, cherries, and paint. The color red in Japanese culture denotes strength, passion, self-sacrifice, and blood. It is the color that “gets the blood flowing.” Red bean rice is served on auspicious occasions. Many phrases such as “embarrassment to death,” “growing red with anger,” “deficit spending or losses,” or “complete stranger” are denoted with the Japanese word for red, which is “aka.”

Yellow The color yellow symbolizes sunshine and nature in Japan. It is a popular color in flowers, clothes, and gardening. It is also the color of railway crossings and school children’s caps because it increases visibility and indicates warning and caution. In Far East Japan, people consider yellow a sacred color, but in the West, it denotes treachery. The Japanese term for someone “having a yellow beak” means one who is inexperienced, whereas someone with a “yellow voice” means the shrill voice of women and kids.

Suddenly I am thinking about Mob getting hit by a car on the same day when Forte got hit by a car in manga. Because Mob pushed the kid out of the way because the kid was listening and playing on their ds instead of being aware of their surroundings. Just like how Forte was unaware of his surroundings because he was listening to music.

HMMM. Intentional?

I dunnooo.... awfully convenient timing. :D

Now for something a bit more out there. Because I think there is a spirit bird reference in opm with all those sparrows and in cover of 170.

A finnish christmas song from a poem made by Zacharias Topelius.

Specifically about a sparrow spirit bird. And we're bout to head to the last chapter of this year.

youtube

Snow has covered the flowers in the vale, The lake has frozen in the frost of winter. The little sparrow has eaten his summer food The lake has frozen in the frost of winter. On the stairs of a little cabin was a dear girl: “Come, sparrow, with joy, take a seed from me! It's Christmas, my homeless and unhappy sparrow, Come here with joy, take a seed from me!” The dear sparrow with joy now flew to the girl: “Gratefully I shall take the seed from you! One day God wants to reward you. Gratefully I shall take the seed from you!” “My child, I am not a bird from this earth, I am your little brother, I came from Heaven. The tiny seed you gave for the poor, was given to your little brother, from the Land of Angels.”

Kimmo Korteniemi, textsFor years, one of the most beloved Christmas carols in Finland has been "Sparrow on Christmas morning", written by Zacharias Topelius and composed by Otto Kotilainen (1868-1936). The series of events described in the poem is touching in its simplicity. It is Christmas: a modest and apparently Finnish cottage is surrounded by a wintry landscape. A sad little girl is standing on the stairs of the cottage when she sees a hungry sparrow in the yard. The sparrow's orphanhood and polity inspire pity in the girl, and she offers the bird some seeds. The sparrow accepts the gift and promises that God will one day reward her for her good work. At the same time, the sparrow reveals himself to be a heavenly guest, the girl's little brother. The events of the poem had a real background, which is most clearly visible in Topelius' Swedish-language original text. Whereas the K.A. Hougberg translation speaks only of a little brother who 'came from heaven', the Swedish text specifies that the little brother died the previous spring: 'Jag är din lilla bror, som dog bort i våras.' The little brother was the Topelius son Rafael, who had died in his father's arms on his one-year birthday on 12 May 1858. As was often the case, Topelius took his pain and sorrow out on his artistic creation, writing. A poem about a sparrow on Christmas morning, in memory of his little boy, was published in the Christmas issue of the Eos children's magazine in 1859, a year and a half after Raphael's death.

The deaths of his children shocked Topelius and contributed to the strengthening of his Christian convictions from the 1860s onwards. Indeed, in the autobiographical notes written by the ageing Topelius, the recollections of Mika, Raphael and Rosa are tinged with both severe self-reproach and religious humility. The author, who had entered old age, felt at least partly responsible for the deaths of his children. He thought that Mika's illness had been triggered by a swimming trip with her father. In Rafael's case, he had thoughtlessly installed a ventilation valve in the wall of the house, through which the cold flowing in might have caused the boy's fatal lung catarrh. Similar doubts accompanied Topelius' account of Rosa's death. But above all, Topelius saw his children's deaths as a powerful address from God, a shaking reminder of the limits of art-making.

The idea of deceased child taking the form of a bird in the poem "Sparrow on Christmas Morning" also appears in some of Topelius' other stories. For example, in the fairy tale 'The Birch and the Star' (1852), two little birds are adopted by siblings returning from exile. As the story unfolds, it is revealed that the birds that are leading the way are angels sent by God, the souls of the little sisters sleeping in their graves under the birch tree in the yard. How were such interpretations possible for Topelius, who was known for his Christian beliefs? Do the poems conceal an explicit doctrine of the transmigration of souls?

Topelius' mystical and romantic tendencies are particularly evident in his views on nature. Topelian nature is not dead matter, but brimming with life and spirit, personified forces, mysteries, symbolism and poetry. Topelius often justified the spirituality of nature with Christian arguments: it was about God's active activity and presence in creation. But, especially in his fairy tales and stories for children, he also used many figures from pre-Christian folklore, such as trolls, elves, fairies and fairies, as instruments for the animation and personification of nature.

Awakened Garou has pointed ears, btw.

That tiny tiny white blob on the background atop the rooftop? A white bird possibly. And we know who's spirit we saw in 169.

Murata also made that one pointed message about Orochi and ancient stone mask on twitter.

That's all I got for now.

Over Tea

A sudden chill sweeps through Gotham, almost like Mr. Freeze had just attacked only thing was the man was currently locked away in Arkham, and was felt by all. And talked by all via word of mouth and on social media as well.

The clouds and smog that covered their dark city shifted and swirled, a rumble beginning deep inside them as the weather turned from smoggy to rain and thunder with no real warning. The strangest thing was the green glow that could be seen when thunder rumbled inside the gray clouds.

Then like a candle being blown out, the rumbling stopped, the rain ended, and the clouds parted all over Gotham.

For the first time in a while Gotham had a clear sky and it felt... it felt like something heavy had been lifted off the city.

It was this sudden shift and the all felt chill that had set off alerts for Batman and his family. Since early morning since the first change and shift happened he was in front of the Batcomputer trying to narrow down where it started.

After hours of searching with the help of Red Robin, Oracle and strangely enough Red Hood, they managed to narrow down where the odd power had been coming from.

Was still coming from, only very low.

The old and abandoned observatory tower.

-x-x-

"More ecto-tea Lady Gotham?" Danny asked, his hand waving towards the steaming pot nearby.

The woman smiled lightly, her dark painted lips curling up to show her sharp fangs for a moment before saying "No but thank you Young Kingling though I would like more cookies if you don't mind. Now where were we?"

Danny nodded towards her and signaled towards a maid skeleton ghost who walked forward with a tray of cookies. The maid swiftly placed a few more cookies on the spirit embodiment of Gotham plate before bowing and stepping away.

"We were just about to discuss the sentience of the Court of Owls." Danny said as he lightly tapped the large almost mountain of paperwork on the table they were sitting at, floating high above the floor as shooting stars and planets drifted around them. Many ghosts floated around as well, servants that had sworn their loyalty to the Young King, and were preparing things like snacks and drinks for two powerful beings in the room as they discussed business. Nearby doors and windows though were ghostly knights that stood tall and alert, making sure no interlopers interrupted the meeting taking place and ready to defend not only Lady Gotham but their King.

"Ah yes them." Lady Gotham grimaced as she took a drink of her ecto-tea. "That will take some time for us to discuss, they've been running around unchecked for to long and even with my limited abilities to hinder them has been less than ideal."

"You, Lady G, were deeply cursed for many, many years and I just broke most of it." Danny cut in quickly, he was not about to let this wonderful and powerful city spirit blame herself for something out of her hands "Due to said curse you couldn't do much so please don't go blaming yourself. Its mostly broken now, so you can freely start healing yourself and your city self now that jerk demon that cursed you is in Walker's prison for his crimes."

Lady Gotham grew silent for a moment, her dark eyes staring deeply at the young King but then warmly smiled, well as warm as she could seeing how she was Gotham itself. "You reminded me of my Knight, Young King, treating me like this. Not afraid to point out the truth and facts."

Danny gave a light laugh as he took a hold of one of the cookies on his plate and gave a bite "I'll take that as a compliment Lady Gotham. Now about those Court of Owls...."

Does bunny reader have any animalistic/omegaverse/hybrid features? Like going through heats or marking partner/getting marked to feel better, having the urge to feel the scent of their partner (even if it's not a/b/o universe). Maybe some other bunny instincts that we haven't discussed yet👀

If not, what are they afraid of the most? Do they show it?

The Bunny Reader does have heat cycles. I actually have a few asks in my drafts regarding the Bunny in heat that I have yet to answer, but Bunny does have heats and needs the help of someone to “suppress” it.

Actually, similar to cats that have a special spot that can be pushed down on to suppress a heat, Bunny Reader has one too! In cats, they have a special spot on their lower bodies where the male cats mount on, and applying just a bit of pressure on that spot can satisfy a heat (temporarily) so your female cat isn’t in discomfort. HOWEVER. Since this is only a temporary solution, Bunny Reader prefers to just have sex since the effects last so much longer.

Bunny Reader also has the characteristics of things like scenting when she’s in a heat. Sometimes she’ll be “extra affectionate” when cuddling up to the HSR women, but really she’s just trying to nuzzle her scent all over them as “her mates.”

Besides heats and scenting however, Bunny Reader sometimes gets zoomies when she’s super excited for something. It is not uncommon to see Bunny Reader (or the Bunny employees in general) just zooming around the casino at the speed of light <3

#🕯️spirit box #casino au #casino au lore drop lol #as for bunny reader’s fears…#she’s probably most afraid of big birds #think falcons and hawks #even tho she’s the size of a regular human #her bunny instincts just make her afraid

a lot of people are using nex as a queer talking point without even mentioning they were choctaw and 2S. without even mentioning that this - harassment, assault, murder, disappearances, lies/indifference/denial about the circumstances of our death - is typical of the violence we face. not once have i seen non-native people address that we, as natives, face this same treatment within queer communities. that queer institutions use our land while declining to offer native-inclusive and -sensitive care. we suffer at the hands of white lgbt+ people just as much as we do at the hands of people outside the community.

nex is not your NB pariah. nex was a 2S, NB, choctaw child. thousands of native people go missing and are killed and no one cares. many are two-spirit. many are LGBTQIA+. many are "queer" in ways only defined and recognised by our closed cultures, that you may never hear of and may never understand.

if you are going to flock to nex, you are not going to take them from us post-mortem. they were choctaw. they were native. their tribal affiliation has already been falsely reported on. if you are talking about nex, you will talk about how unwelcoming and dangerous your communities are for us, too. you will talk about how natives face this violence constantly, everywhere. you will not remove nex from the context of them being choctaw, ever - or you won't say their name at all.

even when we die, you don't care about us. i am telling you to care about us if you want us to stop dying.

#howling #nex benedict #yeah no i'm tired of seeing edit: and they were 2s!!1!!#no. first and foremost they were a native child. can you people stop fucking stealing our children.#some other notes if you see my tags: allegedly nex preferred he/him. i will prioritise using he/him. sources seem credible.#secondarily: if you aren't Black do not say ''rest in power'' for non-Black people. i do not know choctaw mourning traditions and language #(i'm algonquain and aleut) and won't tell you what To say. but please do not use ''rest in power'' when inappropriate.#thirdly: if you don't know how to talk about us Don't Talk About Us. QUOTE us. share OUR words.#may your spirit walk freely nex. may you be at peace. may flowers grow in your footprints and birds fly on the wind of your breath.#may your ancestors open their arms to you and embrace you in love. we will never forget you. i'm sorry we failed you.#we will do better next time.
