: Keyboard Smashing In Japanese

大草原不可避 : Keyboard smashing in Japanese

I explained how keyboard smashing in English expresses laughing really hard and she taught me the Japanese equivalent in return!!

As some of you might know, in Japanese, “w”  from the word “to laugh” 笑う 「わらう」 is basically like “lol” in Japanese so when there’s a bunch of “w”’s together it looks like this wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 

and it looks like a bunch of grass so one slang word to show something is funny is 草 「くさ」 which is the word/kanji for grass so you don’t have to type out a bunch of w’s.

So the step up from 草 is 大草原　「だいそうげん」 which means prairie since there’s a lot more grass.

And if something leaves you laughing so much that you can’t hold it back you could say 大草原不可避　「だいそうげんふかひ」 which basically means “inevitable prairie”. 

The “inevitable part”, 不可避　「ふかひ」 in this phrase means laughter is inevitable and you can’t help but laugh.

In this stream starting around the 2:18:51 mark, they‘re showing of Arcsys merch. Including Blazblue and Under night Merch.

the world is healing

Got Procreate Dreams. Trying it out. Still needs some work, but it is a lot of fun. Sorry for the colors. I don‘t know how to to change the color afterwards.

Maybe it is just fully doom-powered shadow and not a new character.

I wonder if the animation on saturday will give us some hints.

Speaking of Maria, I wonder if she will appear in Shadow’s white space. Since white space could technically take characters from any time-period.

First of all: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Second of all:

You'd think after they made up Sage to be Eggmans daughter instead of including Belle, and made up Trip to be the new playable Classic Character instead of including any of the other chodes from the comic, and made up Ariem to be the new sheep girl instead of including Lanolin, you'd think they'd have caught on by now. IF they do include a new character, it's going to be just that. A NEW character.

These fucking comic fans not only arent paying attention they're also insane

One App I can recommen when looking for Kanji is „japanese“ from renzo inc. It allows you to look for Kanji by components, or if you have it on an ipad, can even try to draw the kanji and have the app recognize it. (Works half the time for me)

It has been helping me learning and finding kanji. It also works great as a dictionary.

Concept Art/Model Sheet for Meifang Lapis Lazuli

Translations for the notes on the sheet under the cut. Unfortunately, I do not read or speak Japanese. These translations are the product of the combined efforts of machine translation and my frantic, desperate scouring of online kanji dictionaries.

If you catch me making any mistakes, or you know the language better and can correct my errors, I would greatly appreciate it!

Meifang = Lapis Lazuli

About 160cm

Slender build

Modified Wings of Justice uniform

The hairpiece is shaped like devil horns.

Twintails with a lot of hair.

I thought this would be a simple post... I thought I'd throw the image in Google Translate, write three lines, and be done.

Somehow, it's been over five hours, and I've learned a bunch about the anatomy of kanji...

I was originally going to include some kind of "translator's notes" section at the end of this post, but it got way, way too long, and steady decayed into a first-hand account of my day-long hunt to identify 'which kanji this smudgey shape is supposed to be'... instead of a Meifang post.

So, I'll end things here in order to stay on track. If I ever do post the rant I cut, I'll edit a link here.

“what’s posted on the internet stays there forever” is true for everything except that one piece of fanart you saw when you were 10 that changed the trajectory of your life forever. you will never find that again it is gone forever
