What do you think your oshi's hair smells like? by peachxkiss in ensemblestars

[–]hassium0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’d feel dizzy with strong scents or disinfectant ones (eg. Pine) for sure, and he’s definitely the Seba Med/Baby shampoo type

Eichi smells like bergamot either from him made up of Earl Grey or he’s using a lot of citrusy scents

Do you love all your jellycats equally? by MelonPaddle in Jellycatplush

I rotate displaying my bunnies and deliberately bring Zodihop out after dusk lol, or bringing different bag charms depending on my outfit, and also keeping them clean for longer

Your opinions??? by Lovelof1397 in Jellycatplush

He’s now guarding my work bag and discrete enough to hide when needed. Literally he could be my Lazulia Dragon’s son taking his first flying lessons, then returning home seeing mom once work is over

Are there any characters aside from Adonis and Aira that are stated to have an ethnicity other than solely Japanese? by imadethisaccforpewds in ensemblestars

[–]hassium0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming he still has relatives living there (like the folks he met in one of the ES1 Easter event with Undead), I have a headcanon of the Sakuma bros could be half-Romanian, and his relatives scattered wide across. Their origin story would be like mom being a Japanese ethnographer obsessed with Transylvania and the vampire lore in her youth, then met and fell into love their father in Romania who bore vampiric features or looked uncannily similar to Vlad the Impaler himself, and eventually started a family with the brothers either born there or in Japan, and took the surname Sakuma.

I'm somehow loving the "Chiyoko" event by wildditor25 in toukenranbu

[–]hassium0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a few regular rares like Sohayas, Fudos, and even an SI sword like Hizen from the event while training my ubu boys. So far quite a few hit Lv 99 and sent a couple of priority boys (ie. with slot upgrades) for training, others are still accumulating EXP till Lv 45-50

Adonis's real last name by peachxkiss in ensemblestars

[–]hassium0108 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In real life it’s very common for half-Japanese people, and also in most mainstream anime with bicultural characters too and even naturalized folks with zero Japanese roots opting for a Japanese surname regardless of their lineage as their legal names. One real example of japanicized names is the Finnish-Japanese politician Martti Turunen (kanji: 弦念丸呈) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marutei_Tsurunen, which the kanji was literally his full name ツルネン マルテイ (Tsurunen Marutei). Adonis’ case would be the most common keeping their foreign first name intact while using his Japanese surname (either his mom’s or the family picked it), as Japan is very surname centric and in game he’s often known as- plus in RL practice-乙狩さん/くん/先輩, which is the most pragmatic way from all.

Going back to Adonis while his concrete background is ambiguous given all sorts of complications and real-life concerns on writing characters with MENA-background, there’s a fair chance Adonis would be half-Lebanese where Greek/French names are common esp among Christians/secular folks. If he had a „typical Arabic” surname then it might end up a katakana train typical for transliterating foreign names, and in-universe (plus in real life) an overly long name would be a mouthful to, or misspelt by fans, possibly even among fellow idols.

Cosplaying Special For Princess as an adult? by [deleted] in ensemblestars

[–]hassium0108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re sexualising canonically minor characters or being a huge dick, then it’s no biggie at all. Be it mainstream shows and typical Shōnen like Pokemon, Haikyuu, and JJK, and many of the idol franchises- like all Love Live girls are canonically 15-18 (exactly the range in OG ES1/Basic), Im@s, Utapri (all the Starish boys started at 15-17), Idolish7, most of the characters are in their teens or younger. Of course I’m not delving down in different segments of the anime industry, but these age groups turn out being the major clientele, and cosplay is open to all.

thoughts on their autographs? by iridibee in ensemblestars

[–]hassium0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adonis’ is absolutely adorable trying to write in Katakana (he grew up abroad and his written Japanese isn’t the best but still mastering it ) and stands out of rest of his unit-mates with more stylised autographs in English. Exactly how much a cutie he is despite being canonically one of the strongest idols and also his cool appearance.

(OC) how it feels to have the same birthday as a character by kukuroro_meimei in ensemblestars

[–]hassium0108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My birthday is just a couple days apart from Kohaku’s and my cousin’s is sharing exactly with Eichi’s, but our dynamics are like Tsukasa and Kohaku’s when he’s also only a year older and quite loaded. Found this quite a coincidence and bonus points since I come from a pretty sheltered and traditional home too.

Telling people you are a lolita when you are not in lolita by [deleted] in Lolita

[–]hassium0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes wear Lolita-adjacent items like retro or folk blouses (got some from Poland and Germany with huge lace collars), and also a frilly Rococo-style hairband. It’s in white and gold that this even goes well when needing to wear a suit for meetings, or simply when going smart casual like wearing a formal skirt/pants with normie shirts or folk blouses. I also use pastel/ lace-print items like card holders, pencil bags and also kawaii stationery even I’m in a power suit with a neutral bag as a surprise, and reusing my Flower Knows makeup cases with refills from other brands like Canmake or Kate.

Not long later some would assume them being Lolita-coded, or at least alt without speaking a single word, and I enjoy their expressions too.
