So I thought that I would make a post showing the map of Shigure’s house. Not only would this help others visualize it more, but also give writers and artist reference to it as more stuff comes out. Sorry for the play bars I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of them. Enjoy!
First off, let’s start out with the outside of Shigure’s house:
On the far right you have the front door:
And then you have the living room that opens up to the front of the house on the left:
There are three ways to get into the house. The living room if it’s open, the front door, or there is a door on the right of the previous picture that leads to the stairs in the hallway:
For now we’ll go through the front door. once you open the door, you’ll get into the hallway:
now in front there are the stairs that lead up to the 2nd floor. Right next to the stairs is a closet:
and then on the far left there is a hallway leading into the kitchen. If you take a left and go to that hallway there should be the entryway to the kitchen and then on the right a bathroom. I know from Takaya’s notes that all three boys use this bathroom while tohru has her own bathroom upstairs:
Now going down that hallway you’ll get into the kitchen:
If you look at the first picture of the kitchen, you’ll see a doorway on the right (if you’re coming from that hallway it’ll be your left) that will lead you into the living room:
Going back into the hallway at the front door we can take the stairs all the way up to the second floor:
Now we get up the stairs, We get to Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo’s rooms. We have no idea which one is Yuki’s room and which one is the bathroom yet, but I have a feeling Yuki’s room is the one right next to Tohru’s room because Yuki does have a window in his room:
First bedroom you’ll be met with is Tohru’s. This is what it looks like before she moved in:
And here’s what it looks like afterwards:
Next will be Yuki’s room:
And then across is Kyo’s room:
Before you ask, Kyo does sleep on a futon. No he doesn’t have a bed like Tohru and Yuki. Yes I think it’s because Shigure is a petty bitch. Anyways the last thing to know is that there should be a way to get up onto the roof. I personally think it’s with a ladder on one of the decks:
And that should be it! I hope you enjoyed your tour of Shigure’s house and let me know if you have any questions!!
This helped me immensely with recreating the house in Sims 4, I don’t think I would have been able to do it without these references―Thank you for your work on collecting these references!
It’s not your fault, but I found that the upstairs hallway didn’t make much sense so I had to figure out what works there, and there’s some ‘black spots’ such as the back (does the balcony wrap around the back of Kyo’s room? I don’t understand how he has those glass doors where they are with his bedroom door opposite, does he walk through some sort of storage closet to get to his room? I located the upstairs bathroom next to his room because the gap atop the stairs wasn’t wide enough), Shigure’s room (I assume he sleeps downstairs, next to the living room/lounge area?), and the bathrooms (with the exception of that mirror shot of Kyo, lol), so I just did whatever to those for now, maybe those blanks will be filled in one day.
get a cat and you will never poop alone. by god they will make sure you do not poop. by yourself
Idk how true this is but I read it’s some kind of social activity for them? And if you shut them out of the bathroom, it’s telling them you don’t trust them and that can be very upsetting for them. I just think my cats are curious, needy boys 😂
Here are color illustrations of the UK brothers. I worked really hard on the backgrounds too (Himaruya)
I’m late to see this (probably by a very long time lol), I haven’t been into Hetalia for maybe 5+ years now, but I remember there wasn’t official designs for the UK brothers when I was into it so people often imagined their own. It’s wonderful to see official designs after all this time!
Hey Neil! I had a question about something I've noticed for a long while online on the way older people use ellipses. So, for example, when you replied to an ask with "Okay... And yes, I'll reblog. Good luck." as a young very online person, while I know you didn't mean it this way, those ellipses read to me as passive aggressive, or frustrated with the asker. What do they mean to you/why do you use them that way?
yep, some of us old fogies use the same punctuation on the internet that we learned in the 1960s. don’t assume everyone on line is the same age as you.
My older son can get panicky if I end my discord messages with a hard stop. I’ve noticed that he tends to use commas to make ellipses the same way I’ve always used periods. So leading into sentences, or for sentences that trail off, I’d use … and he’ll use ,,,
Totally weird …
I’ve noticed the comma ellipses as well, I wasn’t aware that it was intentional. I assumed people that did it missed the . and hit the , on the keyboard.
I sometimes feel too fed up or lazy to correct my typos so I figure other people may be like that as well.
I think that it’s weird that ellipses has evolved to inherently mean this to some young people. I always saw “ok.” as more passive aggressive than “ok…”, but I still prefer to just type “ok” without any punctuation based on my teenaged experiences chatting on MSN, but it’s always a contextual thing. I know some people that perceive my “ok!” as angry rather than eager or excited (which is usually what I mean by the !), so I guess we all hit and miss with our tone sometimes. 🤷♂️
daniel radcliffe calling out j.k. rowling on her bullshit is big dick energy
One thing I have not seen mentioned in light of this statement, perhaps because it’s just well known or perhaps because it’s been forgotten, is that Radcliffe has dealt with this before. About 10 years ago his friendship with a trans musician named Our Lady J became known to the tabloids. They immediately published sensational articles calling her a transvestite and a drag queen (she was not), and speculating about the nature of their relationship. He responded to insinuating questions by simply being aggressively positive about what a great musician and good friend she was. They did at least one interview together for a queer magazine. This at a time when trans people were even more marginalized than now, and when he as an actor was finishing Harry Potter and under a lot of pressure to ~manage his image~ as he transitioned to an adult career.
TL;DR - Radcliffe has a record of not just saying nice things, but supporting trans people in his life.
So, because I am always stressed to follow autumn challenges I decided to make a more relaxed one.
Writing and drawing both welcome.
Unfinished works, drabbles, unclean sketches and such more than welcome! This is just to have fun and create something small every week!
I decided to make my own challenge kh themed, but the prompts are vague enough so feel free to use them for your own personal thing. This is just to have fun and get inspired after all!
[ID/ a small graphic for an art and writing challenge named Chilltobember. To participate, pick one or two of the following prompts per week.
Sketch, write drabbles, and have fun!
The prompts are:
4-10 Oct: Magic, or Wind
11-17 Oct: Comfort, or Rain
18-25 Oct: Quiet, or Cold
25-31 Oct: Nightmare, or Lurking
1-7 November: Sleep, or Shelter
8-14 November: Warmth, or Memories
15-21 November: Hidden, or Light
On the side of the graphic, there is a small heartless wearing a big striped scarf, and holding a cup of coffee with heart latte art. There is heart shaped steam around it. On the side, a puddle. There are some leaves falling around the heartless. /end ID]
Hi, you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but is it normal to feel embarrassed and anxious when someone calls you by your chosen name for the first time? I've been battling internalized transphobia and dysphoria for a while, and I've been starting to gain confidence and accept myself as a trans boy. But the idea of everyone knowing about this really scares me and thrills me at the same time. My parents are not accepting and tell me to keep it a secret too. How do I accept myself?
Yes it is. That is all completely normal. Not everyone experiences it but its a common situation. For the reason you said in many ways, you can have known who you are for years but when its suddenly not only you and everyone around you now knows it can be different and a lot to go through. I knew my entire life, nearly 20 years before telling anyone, and felt that way about it. I even still do sometimes and its been 7 years now. But being comfortable in yourself with yourself and someone else knowing about it are usually not the same. Its like a private part of yourself is now on display so its not surprising to feel anxiety and/or embarrassment around it. It does not help that in general cis people are far less understanding and accepting so the environment to do so is often far from ideal
Who you are is not some ‘secret’ you should have to keep. Only if thats what you wanted. No one else has any right to expect that of you. Its not about them. You can tell anyone that you want to. This is not something to be ashamed of, but that behaviour is
Accepting yourself is something that can take a long time for some. Its a process. Personally I found being exposed to more trans experiences and lives made it a lot easier to accept it. Listening to different experiences, learning when you are wrong, being part of a community (if you wanted to be) helps to diminish transphobic thoughts and ingrained cissexism. Talking to others who understand what you are going through and dont judge you, who you can just be yourself with. Even if thats just online (which it was for me). Some space where you have an outlet. You are not defined by being trans, it is far from all that you are. Its just a different experience in life
Internalised transphobia can take time and work to overcome. It has to be actively unlearned. Being aware of it is the biggest step to changing it. You cant fix something if you dont know its wrong/broken. When I was new to this I was really quite transphobic without realising it, I was not aware that what I was saying and thinking was wrong. I was the 'I cant be transphobic cause im trans’ type. It took a few years for me to get past that and see how wrong it was. Mostly from actually listening to others experiences and not projecting my own onto them and just learning about it all in general. Being more accepting and open of others can help you be more accepting of yourself as well. Dropping the gate keeping and exclusionary rhetoric helped me get past it. Not seeing this as being something bad or a mistake, but just a different life experience that is not less than being cis. If you only see it as being bad or wrong then acceptance is not going to be likely. It can go beyond just accepting yourself to accepting it in general. I did not set out to do any of it, it just happened with time and experience. It definitely helps to look at a wider group and read about things even if you are not actively interacting with them. You more accepting you become of others the more accepting you become in general. Dealing with dysphoria often doesnt help matters. I found I got better the further along I got medically as well as I no longer felt that way about myself. Anything you can do to help yourself feel better in that regard may help towards it as well
You can accept yourself without having to be open and loud about it, you can keep it to yourself if you want to. That is your decision to make though, no one elses. It sounds like you are at an early stage of the process but that you are already on the path to acceptance. It may take some time but you can get there. It can be a gradual process to work towards. Im sure you will get there sooner or later
It was scary the first time in that I felt like I was being exposed. To have something I kept secret for so long open, even to just one person, felt terrifying, but they were completely on board and excited and began asking me pronouns and a name before I felt emotionally prepared to take that step. Even when I did feel ready, hearing male pronouns and my name made me feel vulnerable and raw.
This happened in 2010/2011, and I feel much better now. Now it’s become a normal and mundane part of my life that hearing anything but how I identify is jarring and unnatural. That said, I understand that it’s a different emotional journey for every individual.
In this clip: camera shakes, crash zooms, spoilers for Ace Attorney 1-4.
Credit to @themornal for the voice acting. Truly a wonderful job. Animation only takes a scene so far, but the delivery of the lines is what makes this scene what it is.
