Ramen Noodles
I I realized this needed to be updated. So, I am 23 years old now, a female, and I currently work in Japan. I am teaching English to Japanese youth and am currently located in Toyama. I like a variety of things, and every once in a while fanfics and translations will pop up!

A love like no other, 
one that is of a unique kind, 
a fathers love, 
one that knows no bound, 
a father there for me when I am in need.
He wraps me in stong arms, 
holding me close and tight, 
making sure nothing will ever hurt me.
A fathers love, 
it will never falter nor fail, 
a love I can count on to make me well.
A fathers love, 
such a powerful spell, 
one that can never be broken, 
not even by the worst of crimes.
A fathers love will never die, 
forever will it live on, 
forever will it be mine. 

Roland Houston - 1992

It’s 22 May: Happy Birthday Oscar Vessalius!

It has been two months since his death. Thank you for being a great father figure to, especially, Oz. We miss you a lot!

Wow, so I’m listening to Ed Sheeran’s Kiss Me and this song is essentially the embodiment of Fakir’s feelings towards Ahiru/Duck throughout the entirety of the series. I’m mean, just…

Yeah I’ve been feeling everything
From hate to…

WAH! I love Lego House best… what’s your favorite song?

Out of the songs that I’ve heard, probably Small Bump. I found that whole song to just be very powerful, moving, and handled with proper care and feeling. It is also about a topic that is not often sung about, so I appreciated the originality.

Rare Candy: Rapidash, Poliwhirl, Psyduck and Venusaur.

Peter Le and Amy Kim originally had a small idea of a fun art gallery dedicated to the original 151 Pokémon that they and many of their friends have all grown up watching. With the help of friends and students in the animation and illustration program at San Jose State University, they decided to make it for a good cause!

They recruited 151 artists and randomly assigned each artist one of the 151 original Pokémon. The artists had the freedom to interpret their Pokemon in any way they wished. The result is the Rare Candy Pokémon Art Auction for Charity.

All artwork made for the gallery will be auctioned off and 100% profit gained from the artwork will be donated to Canines for Disabled Kids. This is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of deaf and physically disabled children by partnering them up with trained service dogs.

Yeah I’ve been feeling everything 
From hate to love 
From love to lust 
From lust to truth 
I guess that’s how I know you 

So hold you close 
To help you give it up 

(I secretly think that Ed Sheeran has watched PT and this song is about Fakiru. This has been a dumb post.)

OMG! I never knew you know Ed Sheeran! Wah!

Yep! I’ve only listened to some of his songs, but I love them. They are very beautiful and creative and just plain good.

Hi! I've been wondering something, in the Pandora Hearts 18.5 Evidence guide, Leo has two sections, of for his servant part and the other as the head of the Baskervilles, but I cand find the second article >.<

I haven’t translated it yet. Sadly, I haven’t had much time to translate the fanbook. ><

Despite having this one lesson that IDK what I am going to do to make it easy, fun, and interesting for the students (since the JTE said there wouldn’t be enough time to do a skit and the fill in the blank worksheet that I did failed horribly and the JTE wants to do something different), yesterday I got a bunch of oranges from one of my coworkers! <3

yo so i just finished episode 1 of Princess Tutu and i’m comin’ right atcha with a bulleted list of my thoughts so get ready

  • i love magical girl anime so much so A+ right out the gate
  • but this anime is magical girl WITH A FAIRYTALE TWIST… ALSO BALLET
  • i love the ballet sequences, they’re really beautiful
  • LUCI CHRISTIAN AWWW
  • ok so idk what’s going on between Fakir and Mytho (whose name, inexplicably, is pronounced “mew-toe”) but i’m not entirely sure i like it
  • why is their ballet teacher a cat and why does he threaten his students with marriage if they misbehave
  • as someone who’s seen The Nutcracker at least 5 times, i really appreciate the allusions to the original ballet. especially when Duck does this move called Flower Waltz WHILE “Waltz of the Flowers” is playing non-diegetically? kinda cool. (also Drosselmeyer.)
  • i might be jumping the gun on this one but i feel like Jay Hickman was severely miscast as Mytho, his voice does notttt fit the aloof bishonen archetype from what i gather so far
  • i do like Chris Patton as Fakir though
  • weird anime is weird as hell

I personally think that Jay Hickman was mostly picked to play Mytho for Mytho later on in the series. There is also more going on than Mytho simply being aloof that causes his character to be one of the hardest to voice act properly (or so I think, anyway).

As for Mr. Cat, I believe his threats of marriage are based off of an old Japanese myth or tale or something. It never really gets explained in-series though. 

I’m glad you are enjoying it so far! I always love seeing new people get into PT! <3

Ahhh ok. I guess I’ll withhold judgment then, considering I’m all of 2 episodes in. I’m eager to see how his character develops! ^^ And lol @ Mr. Cat. I guess I better just get used to a feline ballet instructor with weird disciplinary methods.

Yea, Mr. Cat definitely gets more interesting as the plot progresses (they all do, really). When it comes to the English dub, it certainly isn’t perfect (nor would I consider it to be top quality like Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing, or FLCL), but I still see it as a high quality dub.

So, since I work at a Japanese JHS, I think of setups like this all the time.
In one of my First Year classes, the boy who sits in the Main Character seat will be the one who will gaze out the window at the other students doing P.E. and not pay attention in class. He also will actually talk to the girl who sits next to him (which is rather rare in Japanese JHS, especially for First Year students, because Japan is still very much so a homosocial society). He&#8217;s one of the troublemakers in the class, and I heard him say that he was dumb (in Japanese to one of the other students, I want to change that thought mentally, but that is besides the point). 
The point is&#8230;I always end up thinking that he is perfect main character of an anime material and I have to stop myself from shipping him with the girl he sits next to. OTL 
(Oh, and this diagram is missing a door. There are always two doors that lead into classrooms in Japanese schools, one at the front of the room and one at the back.)
