Veera Raj Veera

This OS is inspired by the sang 'Veera Raj Veera' from ps2

~Kaaneero neer kaan, Sozha Vetri vaal ondrai Kaaneero~ [Are you not seeing it?

Can you not see the victorious Chozha sword? ]

Arulmozhi was getting ready. He was to leave the Choodamani Monastery today. He had asked Vanathi to be there on his left and had left her to get ready. The plan was made.

~O azhagiye poovae, Selludhiyo, malaridu po sagi~ [ O beautiful flower, Will you not garland him, o friend? ]

He came down the stairs. He was being rained with flowers. Just then Vanathi came infront of him with a smile. He smiled back at her. She too threw a handful of flowers on him. "She looks so beautiful today" he thought to himself.

They stared at each other for some time and moved forward, down the stairs, side by side. Everyone was looking at them and chearing.

~Veera Raja Veera Soora theera soora Veezha sozha veera Seerar gnyaalam vaazha Vaarai vaagai soora~ [ O royal warrior! O brave and strong one. Invincible Chozha warrior May the world prosper Hail to your victory! ]

It was night time. They were sailing. They were to reach the southern banks of Bharat in two days. Musicians and singers were singing a song on the Cholas and their brave Soldiers. He stood their looking and listening to them.

~Thoduvor pagai porai nadugal serkkum veera maara kaadhal maara Poovor engum theera Paavor pottrum veera~ [ Those who dare to oppose you, you send them to their graves O angel of undying love Lovely damsels yearn for you. We sing your glory, o brave one! ]

Some female dancers and singers joined the melody. Enchanting the people and soldiers which were on board. Arulmozhi's chest swelled with pride as the recited the greatness and achievements of their ancestors.

~Aayiram vezham pola Porkkalam serum sozha Vendha Raja Raja! Vaarai vaagai Soora! Veera Raja Veera Soora theera soora~ [ A sword on your waist, carrying the world on your shoulders come and rule us Board your ships! Enter the battlefield like Thousand charging elephants! O Lord! King of King! Come, Hail to your victory! ]

While everyone was engaged in the music and dance, Arulmozhi's eyes wandered off. He was searching for a perticular person. He turned away to look at the wave which just had hit the hull of the ship. Just then heard a voice which his ears were waiting desperately to hear.

~Viraliyar gaanam paada Kanigaiyar nadanam aada-~ [ Royal maidens sing and women dance- ]

He quickly looked back at the performers as Vanathi came into the picture. She saw him and smiled while still singing.

~-Paavaiyar kulavai poda Parithear sagadam aada~ [ -Singers sing in celebration Horse chariots move in harmony. ]

Their eyes locked as she started to dance. He thought that he was in heaven when he saw her singing and dancing. Even though he didn't like that he thought about her this way.

~Alaimel Kathirai Pola Vilangidum aruma deva Padaiyani Perumai saattra Pulavargal thamizhum theera~ [ Like the rising sun over dappled waters You shine O Lord! When singing praises of your army Poets struggle to find words. ]

Everyone was enchanted by Vanathi's dancing and singing. She looked like an Apsara who had descended on the earth in the light of the fire lamps and moonlight.

~Kadalmel puyalai pola Kalangal virainthu paaya Vannalai seeratta Thenpulam eengum veera Veera Raj Veera Soora dheer doora~ [ Like the blustery wind skimming the sea Your ships sped across the choppy waters Blowy waves caress you Charge south, O valiant warrior! ]

With this last sentence Vanathi and the group of girls took a leave, and some men came and stared doing Bharatnatyam on the rhythm of the sitar.

The lady on the sitar was pouring her heart out while playing it as the Tabla vadak accompanied her. It felt as if they were challenging each other. Everyone watched it with a big smile etched on their faces. It was magnificent and a show full of celebration. The whole vibe in the ship was positive. Everyone was happy that their beloved prince was safe and healthy.

~Kootraagil Sel, Kaatraagi sel Sara sara sara saravena velmazhai than Peidhida Para para para paravena paayattum paaimaaram~ [Be assertive, go like a wind to rain arrows let's sail the ship faster]

The Tabla Vadak did a splendid solo as Vanathi and the other maidens came again with an Aarti plate. Every girl was holding an Aarti plate exept Vanathi. They all danced on the rhythm. Especially Vanathi, who was the lead.

~Malavargal veeram kanna Samuthiram veruvi pogum Uruviya vaalai kandu Piraimadhi naani pogum~ [ To witness the bravery of warriors the sea becomes scared of when he pulls out the sword The Moon will shy away ]

Vanathi was dancing with all her heart. The waves seemed to dance with her. He stared at her for some time and then started to walk towards the front of the deck where the stairs were.

~Ethirigal uthiram serndhu Kuthikadal vannamaagum Udhirndhidum pagaivar thegam kadalukku annamaagum~ [ The blood of enemies Makes the sea change its color the bodies of enemies become food for the creatures in the ocean ]

She started to twirl around. Her flowy dress moved with her. It looked like the water in the ocean itself had surrendered to her and was following her around. He wasn't able to keep his eyes off her. A mischievous smile played on his lips.

~Pulimagan veeram kandu pagaikkulam sithari odum saramazhai peithal kandu kadalalai karaikku odum~ [ After witnessing the bravery of Chozha tiger The enemies run away After witnessing the rain of arrows The sea waves runs to seashore. ]

She walked towards the stairs and took her Aarti plate which was kept on a table. She looked up at him and started to ascend the stairs. A smile was there on her face, even though she was singing. She came in front of him.

~Adada perum veera edada thodi vaalai~ [ O such bravery Take your sword ]

She stepped forward and started to do the Aarti. As she neared him, he took a step behind and bowed back. Teasing her. She saw a mischievous glint in his eyes. She started to feel dizzy, but as she was going to fall, a strong, muscular arm cought her. The Plate fell from her hands and landed on the deck with a loud clang. The fire of her oil lamp started to spread a little. But it didn't matter to them

~thodada sara maalai adhuda pagaivorai.~ [ Make garlands Kill your enemies. ]

Her body filled with goosebumps as he slowly slid his hand around her back and waist, pulling her closer. Their bodies clashed together. And in the heat of the moment, he put his other arm around her too, and lifted her up.

~Veera Raja Veera Soora Dheera Soora Veezha Chola Veera Seerar Gniyalam Vazha Varai Vagai Sooda~

He started to twirl her around. She put her arms around his neck, giving her some support. Their noses were touching each other's. The time seemed to slow for them as a big wave hit the deck, engulfing and drenching them both. Leaving them wet head to toe.

~Thoduvor Pagaipporai Nadukal Serkum Veera Mara Kadhal Mara Poovor Yengum Dheera~

He felt his cheeks burn as she rested her nose on his cheek. Their cheeks were sticked together along with their bodies. The people around them weren't able to see this scene because of the waves, etc. He still kept twirling around in circles. All of their hair and clothes had sticked onto them. She pulled her head up, which had been resting on his neck, and their eyes met. They were millimetres close. So close that they could kiss each other.

~Ayiram Vezham Pola Porkkalam Serum Chola Vendha Raja Raja Varai Vagai Sooda~

Their faces were red because of this moment and their last thought. They were late to realise that they were too close but in the end they did. He slowly placed her down. She loosened her grip on his neck and pulled her hands down so that they now rested on his chest. The waves were still clashing, making it hard for people to look at them.

~Em Thamizh Vazhga Vazhga Veera Cholam Vazhga~

Though she had loosened her grip, his hands didn't left her waist for a long time. They both stared at each other. She was grasping for air. His hair were sticked to his head.

~Natramizh Vazhga Vazhga Nallor Dhesam Vazhga~

He slowly let go of her after a long time. Their minds cleared up as they took in their surroundings. The singers were still singing. The people on the instruments were pouring their hearts out. No one had been able to see them. When the atmosphere finally cleared up, they only the aftermath. Some of the maidens, the Ilavarasi and the Ilavarasare were drenched wet.

~Em Thamizh Vazhga Vazhga Veera Cholam Vazhga~

They both shared a knowing look with each other. No one in the ship had come to know about their little.... Whatever you can call it. This was their secret which they never shared with anyone...... except for their Akka and her Husband offcourse.

~Natramizh Vazhga Vazhga Nallor Dhesam Vazhga, Veeraaaaa!~

Hi Wayne I'm a new sub to your twitch what is the lore behind the emote that is Crusoe from the hit movie The Water Horse?

ah, one of my favorite emotes. last year, during one of my Grand Tours I played the licensed Water Horse game on PS2. it was fucking atrocious. at the end of a level, or more appropriately the moment you meet the objectives requirements, HARD cut to

it is now an emote and a permanent OBS scene in my profile.

#fertilid

[rainyday-deer]

I’ve been playing Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town and I have..... Thoughts™

Some light spoilers.

I can’t call it a bad game, I’m having fun, but it’s not.... Good, either.

The character customization is FANTASTIC, imo. I really like a lot of the options, and the ability to change the color of your individual eyes is pretty neat! I’ve really enjoyed the addition of being able to customize the MC in the newer games, and I’m glad it’s something they’ve kept around (even if the default MCs are rly cute too)

The addition of a moped is neat, though I’ll admit it seems... Superfluous. The horse in previous games was primarily used as a way to get around faster. I understand you have to unlock your moped, but the same goes for the horse, and with the way the game mechanics work, I have my moped back before I have the stable rebuilt, which kind of...Renders the horse moot. Why would I bother to build the stable now and waste fodder/stamina on an animal when I have a moped again?

In terms of the villagers, I can’t say I’m very attached to any of them. I’ve got a small handful that I guess I like but I’m just generally not invested in any of them or their lives.The dialogue is all very samey, and I feel like there’s little variation in what they say to me-- Which is generally a problem in most of the games, but it seems more noticeable here, and almost makes me ache for Save the Homeland’s dialogue style instead.

The voice clips are a nice touch, remind me vaguely of Magical Melody, and I’ll admit it’s a nice little touch. To be frank, the lack of visible talksprites and heart meters being hidden in notes VERY much reminds me of StH or MM, and isn’t necessarily something that bothers me (even if the camera angles get a lil wonky.)

As for how the farm works... I absolutely hate that the makers can only make one item at a time. I hate hate hate that I have several of these damn things lined up on my farm, taking up space, just so I can have the materials I need, and even then I only get ONE AT A TIME! And I need SEVERAL of these items to do anything from upgrading my tools, to expanding my house, to making clothes. In previous games, YES, you had to have certain items to do these things as well, but you (usually) didn’t need to turn ores into ingots first. Lumber was straight up logs that you cut down, and stones were actually useful. But here? HERE?

Cut the tree down. Save the logs. Put 3 logs into a maker. Get one (1) piece of lumber. Repeat ad nauseam.

By the way, there’s at least 5 different types of lumber. And grass. And you need them all for different things! And you need a lot of them for the different things!

There’s 3 mines, which are, frankly, kind of disappointing. The 3rd and largest mine is only 50 floors, and while the addition of the moles make for an... Interesting angle (and fighting off enemies isn’t new at all in certain games) it’s just... Boring. Part of the reason I enjoyed the mines so much in previous games was part of the challenge! It zapped your stamina so easily, and the further down you got, the more exciting it was! But it (personally) feels like there’s no challenge to these mines, and their low variety makes them boring. In reality, you’re only down there to get ores to shove into the ingot makers, so you can progress. (Because remember, these take more than one ore, to make just one (1) ingot!)

Your farm also has various trees and grasses growing over its 3 levels, which is all well and good. However, they crop up and grow VERY fast, including in places you don’t want them to. You have to cover spaces with flooring to stop them from popping up somewhere inconvenient, and even then, they’ll appear where you weren’t ALLOWED to place the flooring. You can’t just sickle the saplings, either. You have to mash those down with a hammer.

Your sickle is ONLY used for cutting the grass, which makes it almost useless in terms of upgrading. You cannot use it on crops, weeds, etc. Just the grass.

There’s also these blue stepping stones across your farm in various places. To my knowledge they cannot be moved or broken, and you cannot till them away, or place anything over them, resulting in wasted space, frankly.

As for the animals, it’s very... Strange? In my opinion. I’m unsure if it’s because of the mode I selected, but the livestock does not NEED to be brushed every day. Rather, when you go to take care of them, the animal will have a small speech bubble over them, indicating what they want at the moment. Your cows and goats will often have a milk icon over their head most days, and only OCCASIONALLY (in my experience) will they want to be brushed. Strangely, you don’t need to buy any tools to do so, either. You interact, they’re milked. You interact, they’re brushed. It’s all very quick, as well.

Also strangely, you have to purchase the ability to breed your chickens, rather than just putting an egg into the incubator.

As for the animal variety... I like it! The goats and the rabbits are very fun additions! And simply finding your animals (and the new varieties) randomly on your farm and then ‘taming’ them is kind of fun, but it does feel like you don’t particularly get a say in if you want to have the new animals in the first place, even if you CAN release animals via the Earth Sprites.

Which, by the way, make me miss the Harvest Sprites, very much. They’re sort of cute, I guess, but ultimately a little boring, if not helpful. Even the Spirit is... Interesting, and beautiful as she is, she’s so. Bland. You can’t really befriend her, just sort of talk to her, but it doesn’t really seem to do much.

I miss you, Harvest Goddess.........

There’s an added museum feature, very similar to animal crossing, but save for the small statues being built of animals you take photos of, it’s just another way to pad out the game, and is very unimpressive to look at.

Crop, meanwhile, are very... Eh, to me. Crops that previously used to be able to be harvested from all season, last 1-3 harvests before disappearing, and then need to be replanted--Including things like tea bushes. Thankfully, the seed makers are a maker that give you 2 seeds out of 1 item-- Though the seed bags only cover 1 tilled square, rather than 9, like in a few previous games.

Your rucksack is also limited in space-- Once again, nothing new, but very frustrating for a game that requires you to have a variety of materials on hold to make XYZ thing. The shipping bin ALSO only holds so many items, and to my knowledge cannot be upgraded. Got 25 items to ship? Sorry! You can only ship 24! Guess you have to wait until tomorrow :)

There’s also only 2 festivals per season, one of which is a mini game, while the other... Is not. It’s kind of a bummer, actually, and I don’t find myself looking forward to them at all.

It’s not all bad, though!

I do enjoy the ability to build sprinklers and let THOSE water your crops for you. It’s very time and stamina saving, and I thoroughly enjoy it.

The variety of crops and wild flowers is nice as well! You can get some crops grown wild, pop those into a seed maker, and then BOOM! You just got strawberries, or melons, or pineapples for free! Nice!

I DO like that your farm has 3 different levels, and unlocking them by fixing bridges is pretty cool, and genuinely feels like it’s been earned when you DO save up enough money (or materials) to unlock them.

The character models look pretty nice, if not a little strange at times. I feel like they can move stiffly in cutscenes, and they have very limited expressions, but they’re still nice to look at. I thoroughly enjoy the happy dance villagers do when you give them a gift they particularly like.

But...

I won’t lie to you guys, but EVERY time I pick up to play (which I’ll admit is a lot, despite my complaints), I find myself wanting to play the older games instead. Now I’ll admit a lot of the newer games could be lacking in particular areas, but there was ALWAYS a lot of enjoyment for me while playing them, so to have this absolute ACHE to dig out my ps2 or my gamecube to play Save the Homeland or Magical Melody INSTEAD is.... Kind of astounding to me.

It’s a fun game to turn your brain off and play, but I don’t think it’s deserving of the price tag-- Even with the new downloadable content on the way (that also costs money, even if you can save some with the expansion pass.). It feels oddly hollow and very... Mobile-game like to me, and while it’s not the WORST game I’ve ever played, it feels like it’s missing a lot of the charm that previous titles have had.

Mugen: The Embodiment of Shintoism’s Redemptive Delinquent, Susanoo-no-Mikoto

Before I get into this Samurai Champloo analysis, I first want to make this clear that this is all interpretations I have made. There’s no actual direct information about the Shinto stuff (that I’ve seen), but I found a lot of parallels. There’s also a lot of variations in Shinto myth! So you may find some different but similar details.

To begin, one would at first think Mugen would be a representation of Amaterasu, Kami of the Sun, because of his association with red, fire, the sun, and the rooster in his title image. (Rooster’s represent the dawn and they were used to lure out Amaterasu from a cave). And in contrast, Jin would be associated with Susanoo, God of the Ocean and Storms, because of his association with water, and the aquatic fish in his title image. However, based on everything I am about to list, it is the exact opposite. Mugen and Jin are supposed to be like Yin and Yang, their elements canceling each other out. However, the two do possess traits of one another. For Mugen, it’s Jin’s samurai honor and morality. For Jin, he has Mugen’s stubbornness to not follow those he considers unworthy.

Mugen and Susanoo’s Personalities

Susanoo in his earliest myths, is seen in an extremely negative light. He is violent, rude, wild, arrogant, and loathed by the other Kami for his impulsive actions. In particular, his older sibling Amaterasu despises him. She by comparison, is benevolent and calm. He is the embodiment of chaos in stark contrast to his sister who represents “the balance of the universe”. Susanoo’s appearance is also supposed to be disheveled.

Susanoo, along with his two siblings, were born after his father Izanagi cleansed his face, after visiting the polluted underworld known as Yomi.

But...while Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi were born from Izanagi’s eyes, Susanoo was born from Izanagi’s nose last. The Kami believe that Susanoo had already absorbed some of the impurities of the underworld, and was tainted at birth.

This idea of being “lesser” fits very much in how Mugen is treated by society. The Ryukyuan people were heavily subjugated and experienced severe discrimination by the Japanese.

Ocean And Storms Symbolism

Susanoo is most notably the Kami of the Ocean, Storms (particularly rainfall) and Harvest (also because of rainfall). Later though, he ends up becoming the Kami associated with Love and Marriage. This will be explained further later.

Mugen has a heavy affiliation with the ocean, because of his previous occupation as a pirate and being born and raised in the penal colony island known as Taramashima which is near Miyakoshima in the Ryukyus. It’s the circular island on the bottom left, below.

We know Mugen is from here because the black figures that try to send him to the afterlife are known as Paantu. Paantu are deities from a Miyako Island festival that cast out evil spirits by throwing sacred mud on houses and people. In addition, Taramashima was used as a penal colony for Ryukyuan criminals during this time period, and is affiliated with Miyakoshima since it is so close by.

Also, in one of his most defining moments, he swims and emerges from the ocean in episode 25 to save Fuu.

More interestingly, Mugen is definitely associated with storms and typhoons (heavy tropic storm).

The Ryukyuan Islands have a long association with typhoons, because they were so common there throughout history, causing much damage and famine. In World War II, the Battle of Okinawa, known as the bloodiest Pacific battle, was called “The Typhoon of Steel”. In 1972, Okinawa made the flower of the coral tree or the “deigo”, their prefectural flower. 

These flowers can be seen in episode 14, during Mugen’s flashback.

What is interesting...is deigo flowers are a symbol of disaster or catastrophe, namely typhoons. There is an Okinawan belief that the more deigo flowers bloom, the more typhoons there will be. In this episode, which is all about Mugen’s past, we are given double symbolism of the ocean and storms, when he nearly drowns during a severe rainstorm.

In addition, while Mugen’s sword is never named in the anime or manga, his blade is called “Typhoon Swell” in the Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked PS2 video game.

Fall From Grace and Rivalry with Amaterasu

Because of Susanoo’s bad attitude, chaotic personality, and destructive nature, Izanagi, chief of the Gods deemed Susanoo unworthy to live in the Heavens. So he was banished.

Accepting his fate, Susanoo decided to visit his sister Amaterasu before his departure, who had long been his rival that he fought with often.This is largely because Amaterasu as Izanagi’s first child, had divine right to rule, while Susanoo was the youngest and was believed to have impurities. Their rivalry is a symbolism of sunshine versus rain. Both are needed for the harvest, but too much of either causes famine. 

This sounds a lot like Mugen and Jin, who cancel each other out.

When Susanoo went to see Amaterasu, the lands shook, and Amaterasu grew suspicious he was causing trouble, so she met him dressed in men’s clothing and in armor. To prove he had good intentions in saying farewell, Susanoo challenged her to a contest of who could create the most gods, in order to prove his sincerity.

Amaterasu took his sword, and broke it, forming three male kami. Susano took her necklace and broke it, forming 5 female kami from the magatama beads. There’s some variations to who exactly won. One says that Susano raged happily since he made more. Another says Amaterasu used trickery, and told him that the 5 female goddesses belonged to her, since they were made from her necklace and the 3 male gods were his since they came from his broken sword. This then infuriated him.

This is similar to how Mugen and Jin broke each other’s swords in episode 26, and neither really won.

Either way, Susanoo went wild, either from rage or pride and committed several heinous deeds, namely destroying Amaterasu’s rice fields and defecating in her palace. He also flayed and killed a holy horse and threw it at Amaterasu’s holy loom, which killed one of her servants.

The holy horse seems to be important to me.

Mugen’s last antagonist of the series are the three Satsuma brothers. In particular, Umanousuke is his biggest enemy who had kidnapped Fuu, tied her to a cross, and brutally tortured Mugen after he gave up his sword to free her. I am no expert, but from what I can gather, “nousuke” in a name, means second in command beneath a lord. And “Uma” means “horse”.

After his belligerent acts, Susanoo was then thrown from the Heavens to inhabit the earthly plane, which is considered to be Japan. Similarly, after Mugen’s pirating in Satsuma, that negatively impacted Umanousuke and his brothers, Mugen finally made it to Japan.

Susanoo and Mugen’s Redemption: Saving a Woman

Despite having been seen as a wild and evil God, there is one story that redeems him, showing him as heroic, and also allows him to reconcile with his sibling.

After Susanoo was cast out of the Heavens, he walked the lands of Japan. This is similar to Mugen being shunned by society for his astigmatism of his prison tattoos, as well as being an illegal alien in Japan, since he hails from the Ryukyuan Kingdom, which at this time period, is in a very complicated relationship between China and Japan.

It is while Susanoo is in the land of man, that he for the first time, is shown actually caring for another person: a young girl.

In his travels, he meets a sorrowful, elderly man and woman who are weeping over their daughter. Susanoo curiously asks why they are crying. 

They tell him that they have lost seven of their daughters to a sea serpent named Yamata-no-Orochi (8 forked serpent) who has devoured them year after year. Now, it is time for the sea serpent to devour their last and youngest daughter: Kushinadahime.

In an uncharacteristic act of sympathy, Susanoo offers to help them. He tells the old couple to give him their daughter so he can protect her. 

Upon entering the teahouse of episode 1, which was owned by an elderly couple...Mugen meets Fuu for the first time and saves her.

Susanoo transforms Kushinadahime into a small comb and hides her in his hair so that the serpent can not find her. Then, he goes off to kill the giant snake. He gets the serpent drunk off of very strong sake, and slays it.

From the serpent’s tail, Susanoo acquires the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (the sword of gathering clouds). This sword has come to represent virtue.

After saving the girl, Susanoo asks her father for the girl’s hand in marriage. And then, after this, it would seem his new wife had tamed his tumultuous heart. She becomes venerated as the Kami of Rice and bears his 5 children. Many temples and festivals honor them together to this very day!

It is after this point, that Susanoo is no longer seen merely as the violent, antagonistic god of storms. He also becomes venerated as the God of Love and Marriage because of his heroism and love for the girl he saved.

A violent, belligerent sinful killer who falls from grace...who is redeemed by protecting a woman and becoming a hero...

You probably see where I’m going with this. Mugen and Fuu are heavily implied to have a subtle romance in the series. But if you’re confused by this and need sufficient evidence, please let me know and I’ll provide my many posts that explain it in detail. I will merely bring up one scene here, in order to tie Mugen’s connection with Susanoo, who has become the God of Love.

In episode 21, Sara tells Mugen “Powerful hatred and rage swirl within you. I cannot tell if it is sadness. It is as if you have never once been loved.”

When Mugen falls to the ground, and Sara readies her blade to kill him, Fuu jumps across his body to shield him from Sara, and begs her not to kill him. In this moment, Sara gasps, and spares Mugen’s life. In this moment, she realizes she was wrong. There is one person who does love him, enough to put her own life at risk.

This is very similar to Susanoo. Up until the point of saving Kushinadahime, he was hated by all the Gods, including his own family. But when he saved her life, she married him, implying her appreciation and love for him.

“In Search of New Lands, I Build a New House”

Immediately after marrying Kushidahime, the lovers travel around Izumi before they can find a suitable place to live. Upon arriving in Suga, Susanoo happily states "Coming to this place, my heart is refreshed.” and then built a lovely palace for him and his wife. Upon its completion, Susanoo composed a song.

The many-fenced palace of IDUMO:

“Of the many clouds rising— To dwell there with my spouse Do I build a many-fenced palace

Ah, that many-fenced palace!”

In Episode 14, during Mugen’s flashbacks, a folk song called “Obokeuri Eeumi” plays. Because it is possibly Ryukyuan (or from Kyushu) , and also deals heavily with poverty, and being unable to sustain one’s family, it is safe to say the perspective could be Mugen’s. It is especially important that the very last image he sees when the last lyric of the song plays is Fuu’s face. This last lyric is about the narrator’s lover.

Obokeuri Eeumi (Obtain Our Bearings):

In search of new lands, I build a new house I thatch the house with reed stalks, gathered neatly in bundles. I thatch the house with reed stalks, gathered neatly in bundles. At the stone wall, let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred carpenters. At the stone wall, let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred carpenters. Let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred carpenters.  August is fast approaching, and yet I have nothing to wear I want to dress up, so brother, will you lend me just one sleeve? I wish to dress my children and loved ones… in the one kimono that I own. As for me, I will wear vines… that I plucked deep in the mountains. The light of the harvest moon shines down, illuminating the world with its divine light. When my lover sneaks in to visit me, I wish that the clouds would hide that light just a little.

Both songs are about building a house to live in with one’s loved ones, with a mention of encroaching clouds. Because Susanoo composed his song, and Obokeuri Eeumi specifically plays for Mugen’s near death experience, these songs are reflections of their characters.

Making Amends With the Rival

At some point, before or after building his home, he visits Amaterasu, his long time rival, and offers his sister the sword he acquired from killing the snake, so that the two may finally reconcile. This sword makes up the three Imperial Regalia, along with the Yata no Kagami mirror and the jewel Yasakani no Magatama.  After this moment, Amaterasu and Susanoo are no longer bitter enemies, and finally accept one another as siblings.

On the same journey of redemption that Mugen took, in which he saved Fuu time and time again, by the end, Mugen was able to reconcile with his longtime rival, Jin.

More Minor Amaterasu and Jin Symbolisms

It is from Amaterasu that all Japanese emperors claim descent. For that reason, she is the embodiment of the Japanese people. I think this is very similar to Jin, who is a representation of the ideal Japanese samurai with all of its virtues.

When Amaterasu fled from the heavens because of Susanoo’s many insults, the world became a dark and stormy place, because there was no longer any sun. Amaterasu did not want to leave the cave as she grieved for the servant Susanoo had killed. Though it might be reaching, I saw this very comparable to episode 11 of Samurai Champloo, where the trio were stranded in Hamamatsu with perpetual rain. Here, Jin states “I hope that the rain will never stop. Then, I can stay here forever.” when in reference to staying with Shino.

Amaterasu was also insulted by her husband Tsukuyomi for killing her friend, the Kami of Food, and thus never saw him again. This is a representation of the Day and Night cycle, since Tsukuyomi is the Kami of the Moon. I found this similar to Jin having to part from Shino for three years because of her stay at the Divorce Temple. In addition to that, he met with her at night when he purchased her at the brothel. But when the morning came, she told him it was “time for the fairytale to come to an end.” 

When Jin parts ways with Shino, the bridge they met on is shown one last time. Except this time, there is no more rain. There is only sunlight. 

This is a representation that he must continue on his own journey for the samurai who smells of SUNflowers, for it is his duty, just as Amaterasu reluctantly left her cave at the behest of the other Gods...because it was her responsibility to have the sun rise in the sky again.

In conclusion

Mugen and Susanoo were both hated and considered evil. Both were outcasts. But their chivalrous actions in saving a young girl they cared about redeemed them.

Mugen and Susanoo both had a rival that was their polar opposite, but in the end, the two were able to reconcile and value one another.

(And I found another excuse to ship Fuugen.)

Survey #220

“as long as god in heaven dwell, your soul, your soul shall scream in hell.”

Would people consider you more immature or mature? It depends on the context. Emotionally, I think I'm considerably mature. As far as eligibility to be a proper adult goes, yeah. No. Would people consider you more funny or serious? I personally don't think I'm very funny, but I'm not super serious, either. Are you currently in love with someone? Who is this person? So... I'm quietly pondering over whether or not I'm just biromantic, not bisexual. I genuinely think I'm in love with my girlfriend, I do, but we have so, so little actually sexual experience that I don't know if "bisexual" fits me. I totally adore her romantically, I know that, but maybe sexually, I'm not into her? I don't know. It's hard for me to say because when I picture doing certain "things," I can't really tell what I feel. I don't take that as an "I'm not into it" though, considering I've wound up liking things with a guy I didn't think I would with anyone, something I only discovered by doing it. This whole situation was driving me insane a few days ago to the point I felt sick, but I've calmed myself out of it to where I've accepted I just have to wait and learn, being long-distance. I'm still entirely invested in us and am going to be honest learning about myself. I haven't actually talked to Sara about it and don't want to unless I come to learn this hunch has credibility. Which room in your house are you in? What color are the walls? My bedroom; light puke green, Why God. What is your absolute favorite hobby? Who got you interested in it? I don't really know about my "absolute favorite." It depends on my mood, really. I think maybe watching my favorite YouTubers tops the list, something Jason actually started with PewDiePie; or RPing, which I got into myself thanks to Meerkat Manor. Would the people you know say you have a nice singing voice? Barely anyone ever hears me sing, so idk. I personally feel my voice suits only few songs. Would you say most of your friends are older/younger than you? Ummm, good question. All but two are very close in age range, but most of my friends/closer acquaintances are kinda split around either side. Were you named after anyone famous or anyone on television? Nope. Are you listening to music right now? If so, who’s singing the song? Yeah, I'm listening to Khemmis' cover of "A Conversation With Death." It's the intro song to that new game Man of Medan and is so badass. All the comments are like "came here from so-and-so's LP because this is epic" and same. What is your dream career? What inspired you to pursue this career? Probably meerkat biologist if I could handle the heat and was okay with moving, or paleontologist if I wasn't opposed to heavy travel. I love meerkats and dinosaurs v v much. If you have a significant other, do you get jealous of people a lot? No. What would you say is your favorite holiday? Why did you choose this? Halloween bc spooks and costumes and candy. Does it feel odd being around your friend’s parents? Why or why not? If I'm alone with them and don't know them very well, sure? What is your favorite fast food restaurant? Is there one in your city? Sonic, probably. And no, but in our neighboring city. What is your favorite sit-down restaurant? Is there one in your city? Olive Garden. See above. Do you ever take pictures with family members around the holidays? Mom pretty much forces it, lol... Have you ever thought you were adopted because of opposing interests? Y'ALL not kidding I legit asked my fucking mom if I was adopted in elementary school bc I thought she hated me one day versus my little sister lmfao. I went through a phase of feeling like she couldn't be "this mean" to her legitimate child. Are you more interested in indoor activities or outdoor things? Hm, that depends on the activities available. Most outdoor things are more fun, though. When is the next time you’ll see someone you’re crushing on? We were just talking a couple days ago about our next visit, actually. If I can financially, I'm probably coming up to see her for her birthday again, as that's when I have a decent break from school. Speaking of which, how many people are you crushing on right now? Lol I mean it's been just shy of two years, a "crush" doesn't cut it. Have you ever played Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo DS? Was it fun? No, actually. I didn't grow up playing Mario games. What exactly is your favorite gaming system? Do you have this system? The PS2. It had a giant graphical leap, contains SOOOOO many goodies, and you can still play PS1 games on it. How often do you talk on the phone? Who do you talk with the most? Very very rarely, pretty much only ever with my mom or dad. I hate talking on the phone. Do you normally do what other people around you want you to do? Depends. What does your trick-or-treat bag or pail look like? I don't have one anymore, but it used to be an orange, plastic jack-o-lantern. How old will you turn on your next birthday? 24... wow. What are your plans to celebrate? Probably just go out to dinner with family. What floor do you live on? I only have one floor. Do you have a balcony? No. What is your favorite fall drink, if you had to pick just one? None. Which X Factor audition(s) was/were your favorite? I've never watched it. Were you a straight A student in spelling and grammar? I'm pretty sure I was in my entire school career... Damn dude, proud. Were you a straight A student in math? HA hell no. I could get a C sometimes. Were you abused or do you know anyone who was abused? I wasn't, but I know people. Are you a Democrat or Republican, or neither? Neither. Independent. Who would take care of you if you needed surgery? My mom and dad, as far as bills go. Do you think you have an accent? Not really. Sometimes you can hear it, though. Have you been told you have an accent? Only when I was younger. I had a SERIOUS one. My family in NY couldn't even understand me sometimes, lmao.

If you live in an apartment, what is the maintenance man’s name? N/A What are some fall activities you would do with your kids? Hypothetically, if I had/wanted kids, I'd enjoy carving pumpkins with them, obviously taking them trick-or-treating, autumnal crafts would be fun together, and watching Halloween/scary films appropriate to their age would be a nice experience. I'd decorate the house with them. Oh, a hayride would be cool together, I love those. AND DON'T FORGET JUMPING INTO LEAF PILES! I have a lot of ideas for someone who doesn't want to be a mom. Have you ever seen a fox? Yeah. At least one alive, a handful as roadkill. What color are the squirrels where you live? Brown. What do the trees look like where you live? Pine trees. Pine trees.

Do you find museums boring or interesting? Very interesting! Gimme a science museum and I'm SOLD. What are three issues you are passionate about? GAY RIGHTS, wildlife and nature conservation, women's rights and the pro-choice argument. What are three countries you have no desire to visit? North Korea, Iraq, and... uh... idk. I guess the Middle East in general. That shit's rough. Do you like your country’s flag? Sure? Stars r dope? Would you ever wear a shirt with your country’s flag on it? NO. What’s a medicine that makes you sleepy? Oh. My. God. When I was on three Klonopin a day (I'm now on just one and don't even take it every day), I literally could not function. There was one day in particular (I was on three very briefly bc of this) where I just slept until evening. I physically could not stay awake. I remember I was in the middle of watching a Game Grumps' Mario playthrough, and I'd only last like, ten minutes before I HAD to lie back down, and I'd fall back asleep in like, a minute. That was one of the most awful days ever, I was miserable. Do you like bath bombs? Sure, they're pretty. Who is your favorite neighbor? I don't actually know any. Who are your favorite small YouTubers? He's not very small, I think he's at about a million and a half subs, but Timmy Timato is so fucking iconic. He is an Actual Mood. I have no interest in what he actually posts; I just watch for him. As well, Johnny Paranormal is cool; he's a fuckin awesome guy and is chill and relaxing to watch. I don't watch him religiously, though. Rarely, actually. Who are your favorite big YouTubers? HAVE U HEARD OF????? THE MARKIPLIER GUY???????

That autotuned to all fuck voice is just... major ew. Is your ex sexually attractive to you still? Jason is. Well, if he looks the same as last time I saw him, which was in 2017.

I don't think they gave me nearly enough. Is there anyone that makes your skin crawl?

Sooooo if you know me, which I know you dooooo, you'll know I love video game theories. With the drop of the new Pokemon Sword and Shield trailer, there are so many new theories going around! So let's just jump into it. Theory. Review. *clap, clap*

(here’s the trailer if you havn’t seen it)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOPVBm0sA7Q

In the trailer we got to see new lands, characters and the starter Pokemon... and it set the internet ablaze. The biggest basically confirmed theory is that this game’s region is inspired by the UK. Big Ben. The hill patterns. The clothes patterns. The sprawling country sides. People have even made side by side map comparisons. So that's neat! Another map theory is that this region connects to the top of the Kalos region from X and Y... but that's pretty far fetched.

I managed to find an HD map of the new region, Galar. On the map we get to see all the areas featured in the trailer. We see several "gyms" revealed. Based off of the trailer, the one gym we see is grass (based off the leaf above the door) we can speculate what the other gyms could be based off that.

1 - Ground or Rock

2 - Poison/Fairy (a half based on the symbol looking like 2 colors)

3 - Grass (as seen in the trailer)

4 - Water

5 - Dark

Other things to note about the map is the location of the hill patterns. Those hill patterns feels like a great mystery to be solved. Could it be this game's mythical beast? To me it looks like a giant chicken with like an antenna for a tail. It appears to be breathing fire? or smoke? and thunder bolts are shooting out of it. Around it's feet seem to be small little creatures. Some with 2 legs, some with 1. 2 look humanoid and the other looks more like an animal. WHO KNOWS! We will just have to wait and see. There was a leak that said that the legendary Pokemon are a wooden horse and a metal snake so maybe the giant chicken is the Mewtwo to the 3 legendary birds?

Another neat thing is the brown mountain region. For starters it looks to have a giant Dugtrio shape dug out f the wall. further up is a giant door? It seems to have a shield and what looks like gears or flowers. I read folklore about the UK that at a crossroads you could meet a fairy or some mythical creature that would open a door leading you to a magical land. Could that door be the entrance to the magical looking mushroom forest above it? ...or maybe it’s just the path to the right? or is that the cross roads? THEORIES! 

Other theories about new Pokemon come from the dragon-like castle. The front entrance has a dragon/wolf like head. Going deeper into this theory, the several sprawling towers on both sides of the castle could represent the wings of this creature? But we don’t 100% know that this is a dragon head or even if it represents a Pokemon. In other games creatures were featured in structures that were purely aesthetic and didn't represent a Pokemon so you never know. There's another dragon image in this castle though, that’s the golden head on the top of the smaller tower within this castle. Which clearly looks like a golden Japanese dragon. Again, we don't know if this is a Pokemon. Still awesome!

As far as the map goes the rest is pretty straight forward BUT still interesting. Haunted villages, sea side towns, rail ways, clock work cities. Check out the HD map yourself.

Before we get to the new Pokemon, here are the older gen Pokemon featured in the trailer. What a mix of different Pokemon from EVERY generation before.

Gen 1: Pikachu

Gen 2: Hoothoot, Tyranitar

Gen 3: Flygon, Wailmer

Gen 4: Lucario, Munchlax

Gen 5: Minccino, Zweilous, Braviary 

Gen 6: Fletchling, Meowstic (Fletchling is technically only on a weather vane)

Gen 7: Wishiwashi, Grubbin

...and from Pokemon GO we got the 1st Gen 8 Pokemon Meltan and Melmetal that will be featured in Sword and Shield.

Now lets look at the starters. We got the Grass monkey, that monkeys funky. Grookey! a mischievous chimp that is full of boundless curiosity. Things to note is in the intro video he's banging a stick on a rock implicating possibly rhythm is involved in the Pokemon’s nature. Also it seems like it makes grass grow from its touch? As far as the name goes I believe it's based on Groovey and Monkey? Another thing to note is if this falls in line with the Pokemon starter theory the grass starters are all based on prehistoric creatures. So could this end up being something human like? ...a drumming humanoid ape?

Like every year early “leaks” surface about what the final stages of the starter Pokemon might look like. This year is no different. Here is the first “leak” of Grookey’s final evo:

Next up is the Fire Bunny, Scorbunny. A rabbit Pokemon that is always running about, bursting with energy. When we first see this bunny it's dashing around with it's feet giving off fire. Just like every fire starter there’s always a point that fire comes from like Charmander and his tail. With Scorbunny it seems to be its feet. Theories on its name branch out into a possible theme of the game and that's sports. The name being a mix of Score and Bunny. Score because it seems to represent a soccer player. The patch on it's nose representing a trope in anime where a character with a bandage on its face represents a sports star. Also footy being invented in the UK! This could lead to possibly it's evolution line kicking a fireball around relating to both soccer and its feet being its fire starter. To go with the starter theory again the fire starter should represent a zodiac sign and this easily fits as it’s a bunny/rabbit. 

Following the trend here’s the “leak” of Scorbunny’s final evo... which looks more mechanical that I’d pictured...

Finally we have the anxiety riddled water chameleon thing. Sobble. A somewhat timid Water lizard Pokemon that shoots out attacks as it hides itself in the water. It's name seems to be a mix of Sob as in to cry and bubble. It has these adorable little chameleon type hands! eeeee! Theories are that down the line it could be a ghost type based on it going invisible to hide? To end with the starter theory yet again it states that the water starter final should have some form of weapon like Blastoise and its cannons so maybe it'll end up being a sniper of sorts? stealth artillery?

Lastly we have the majestic “leak” of Sobble:

(PS: here’s the Pokemon starter theory incase you didn’t know what I was talking about -- from quara.com)

Some theories about all 3 are pretty interesting. the first that those older "leaks" were half right? we got a fire bunny and a monkey like grass starter. That's neat. Another theory is that the shapes of the heads are all similar because they represent knight helmets falling in line with the medieval swords and shields theme.

We also have no news yet in how Meltan and Melmetal fit into Sword and Shield. The only theory as of now is just the fact there’s a giant steampunk city and the Melmetal line have metal and bolts involved in its body.

Another Pokemon leak claimed that just like mega evolution and Z-moves, this time we will be getting Armored power up. This goes with the Medieval theme as well. Like donning a suit of armor. In the trailer there’s a part where a soccer player has 227 on his jersey. this could be the obvious answer which is the release date BUT it could also be the number of Scarmory... the armored Pokemon! oooOOOOOooo.

There's also one shot which appears to say Gamefreak in an unknown language. This being confirmed by the Gamefreak logo. This has become the Rosetta stone for Pokemon language theory.

Finally the last thing noticed has been possibly another new Pokemon. In a quick shot you can briefly see the image of what looks like an electric hare/wolf type thing? There’s more letters as well but nothing can be made out yet?

As of now this is about all we know. There are more theories swirling out there but these are the biggest things I’ve managed to put together. Bottom line... I’m really excited for this game!

PS: pretty funny note, a Youtuber (Jimmy Tumor) accidentally predicted the titles before the official release dropped. hmmmm?

OH! PS2: I can’t make it at the moment because Photoshop doesn’t want to work properly on my laptop BUT if I had to predict the “Yellow” version for this generation I'd say it would be called “Pokemon: Scepter” Sword is attack, Shield is defence Scepter would be special, like magic. The Merlin of this medieval theme... Other people have a different theory...

Alright. That’s all for now!

❝ at one point, he had me squatting barefoot in my own bath. ❞

❝ eventually, we’re just gonna have to buy a storage locker for all this stuff. ❞

❝ i’ve got quite a sizeable list, i won’t talk about all of them. ❞

❝ how did we become the internet goblins we are today? ❞

❝ are you allergic to a.i.? ❞

❝ at least this is something you’re self-aware. if it was something other people had picked up on... ❞

❝ we have yellow and black, kind of a barry b. benson inspired look. ❞

how is awl on the ps4? is it laggy like people say it is? im tempted to buy the gc version instead of the anniversary one on the ps4 because of it

hello!! i’m so sorry i took a little while to get back to you on this. thanks for your question! 

you know, i was in the same boat as you. i’ve played all of the versions of a wonderful life prior to this, and thought that the PS2 version ultimately under-performed against the GameCube version. it was incredibly slow, it looked like my character was struggling to move across the screen most of the time not to mention that the slowdown made mundane tasks like watering your plants even more tedious...

when i played the original PS2 version - of course don't get me wrong it was HM:AWL, but it wasn’t the version we've come to love on the GameCube. 

however, saying this - the GameCube version lacks infinite playtime after you've completed the game in heaven mode, and the years are significantly shorter making it a faster game to play through. i for the most part, enjoy having the game to play though forever haha, especially when the chapters are so slow.

now.. 

with the differences in hand -

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

RAW PS2 ( not PS4 version ) VERSION COMPARED TO THE GAMECUBE VERSION

/ ** / : means the changes that have been rectified in the new PS4 version.

PROS

you can marry Lumina

you can have a baby girl

there are additional items you can collect

its easier to get records as you don't have to connect to FOMT

your outfit changes every season ( awesome )

you can acquire a horse with different coloured fur

new buildings have been added

there is a heaven mode after the game ends so you can play infinite

trophies!!! hehe

CONS

slow framerate **

slow loading times **

textures are unrefined **

slow save times **

differences in OST e.g the breeze theme is different

significantly shorter chapters, in the GameCube version chapters last 3 years each

you must plant your grass, as you don't have a ready field at the start of the game.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

PS4 ANNIVERSARY VERSION CHANGES

faster frame rate ( like super fast your character sprints!!! ) **

faster loading times **

upgraded textures **

faster save times **

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

taking all of these changes into hand - i think its safe to say that this PS2 version, although not the GameCube version, is the ultimate Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life experience. if they added heaven mode, Lumina marriage, the choice to have a girl baby onto a new and improved GameCube version, then that would be the best one to get. however, we’re still waiting for that day haha.

it looks like they've made massive changes to the standard PS2 version, thus improving the game completely. you can play it freely without the mass of glitches and dodgy loading times. NO MORE LAG!! hooray!

whatever you choose - i’m begging you, don't play the standard PS2 version, its ridiculously slow and the framerate is unacceptable. ( unless you want to lol )

i really hope this has aided your decision, and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask and i’ll answer faster next time hehe. have a nice day

I want to get my girlfriend into gg but ehe doesn't play competitive. I would try to get her into the story but all I know is what I've seen in Sign and Rev and even then it's a very loose grasp. I beat the hell out of the encyclopedia, but she doesn't read unless its subs in an anime. I was wondering if there were videos, be it official or fanmade, that would help put the story in better perspective. Even a manga would be a start, something easy to digest that covered the beginning better.

No offense to your girlfriend, but there's an old saying:

You can lead a Horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

Guilty Gear is deeply rooted in the Visual Novel genre, so even if there is fighting and movies to be watched, reading subtitles can't really be avoided, so you'll have to prepare yourself for that.

If you have a copy of Revelator, just showing her the Prologue that covers the Crusades should make for a good start, plus it briefly recaps on the Valentine invasion as well as events from Sign.

Next, I recommend looking at the following Story Modes:

Kliff Undersn (GGXX Accent Core Plus)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs2LkC47GkA

Order-Sol (GGXX Accent Core Plus)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ7IteJIlMc

After this have your girlfriend listen to the GGXX Drama CDs Side Black and Side Red (Especially Part 1 with I-No in it)

Justice' Story Mode (GGXX)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxE2s3yahbg

After this is a 5 year time-skip so keep that in mind (you can listen to Night of Knives Drama CDs here if you want, it's optional).

Justice Story Mode (GGXXACPlus)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prNSFM2ekCs

For reference, that above is a re-telling of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5KOgdfqkAA

After these, you can simply have her watch a run of Guilty Gear X

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_pEtOIDt2c

I especially recommend watching the Testament and Dizzy fights of that video as GGX1.5 had good introductions for them (18 minute mark or so).

From here onwards, it's up to you, as you could show her more GGXX Stories, though I hear Rev2 is a good starting point for Dizzy if you like her in particular.

Then have her read this if she's interested:

http://gear-project.tumblr.com/post/141982132519/hi-im-relatively-new-to-the-series-my-first-game

After reading that, you should have enough of a start to show her Guilty Gear 2 Overture's Campaign.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ2KZPnnEDUYL8z2eOHr7DUqBkXYebzpq

After that is VastEdge, but that Story's a mess, so just read this summary:

http://gear-project.tumblr.com/post/142933943634/with-zappa-appearing-in-revelator-in-his-vastedge

Then, of course is GGXrd Sign's Story (go through Sol's Arcade run first to get the jist, then the main Story of Sign).

And then it's back to Revelator after that!

Like I said, don't force her, she has to experience it too.   If you have a PS2 all the more reason to have her experience this for herself if even a little.  If you own any of these games, just break them out and play them with her.  That's the main thing.
