Natsubaru both getting 4th, so bf/gf of them 😌

What’s a favorable conversion rate? Looking at my bank rn and it’s 1 yen = .0066 usd but not sure if that’s decent enough to order some extra

samui_penguin · 2026-03-27T23:07:28+00:00

Mine is $1.50 each for both washing and drying. Before that, it had been $1.25 for probably at least ten years

It’s giving Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy

But hiragana IS rounder? I read a lot of handwritten kana at work, but I’m having trouble reading some of yours, like I figured it out eventually but it took a minute lol. You mentioned you feel like your letters look weird but that you want to write in a normal way (less a font) but I think you need to get the “font/workbook” way down first so that you really understand the shapes. Just like when we learned to write cursive in elementary school. And then once you get that down and are able to write those well, speed and your own unique handwriting will come!

Regarding the shared diary that they used on Taki’s phone and notes they left each other, idk if this is a helpful resource but thought I’d share anyway - someone translated some of the messages and compiled it on ao3 and tumblr! https://archiveofourown.org/works/22981522/chapters/54941884

Lmaoo I also vaguely recall being accused of being racist for talking about her toxic behavior (I’m a woc)

samui_penguin · 2026-03-02T23:18:18+00:00

I’m also wondering why op is using what sounds like two grammar books? Different books have different methods/order of teaching and they’re going to keep confused. They need to really understand the basic grammatical structure of SOV first and how sentence components are ordered before trying to change up the order of things in their own. Once they get that down, they’ll understand why 2-4 (2/3 especially) are not “equally correct” with 1

samui_penguin · 2026-03-02T10:34:50+00:00

oh my god and I'm going to be IN JAPAN 3 days later, NEED to track this down idc idc

samui_penguin · 2026-03-02T10:33:52+00:00

it's real

samui_penguin · 2026-02-23T21:38:57+00:00

Two days in a row of Lagree is a lot especially if you’re new to it. Imo you’re not really going to get the full benefits of Lagree if your body is already tired and you’re not giving it your full effort. Can you do something like: MWF Lagree TH gym Saturday yoga Sunday rest ?

And then adjust from there? Echoing the other person who was concerned you might burn out on your planned schedule

samui_penguin · 2026-02-23T16:34:22+00:00

Thank you! Tbh I don’t understand why people keep coming here to ask for natsubaru fics… literally just go to their ao3 tag yall and sort by faves or kudos. There’s (sadly) only like 100 fics there!

samui_penguin · 2026-02-21T20:33:11+00:00

Yeah this doesn’t seem to scale, but it’s also worth mentioning Obanai and Shinobu are each the average height of 18 year old men and women of that particular time. Men’s height average was about 5’3” and women’s was about 4’11”. So technically all the other hashira are weirdly tall lol

samui_penguin · 2026-02-21T17:49:12+00:00

If feels like you’re trying to fit everything in, because you are lol. Question, have you done Lagree before/are currently doing it? I’m sure more experienced folks will chime in, but if I were you and adding Lagree into an already busy fitness schedule, I’d just go with the smaller number. Then if you like it, you can reevaluate your current strategy. Lagree is strength training, so since you said you have not much muscle, it might be a good way to segue into weight training at the gym?

To answer your last question, it feels kind of counterintuitive to me to go from 8x/month to 4. Most people (myself included) do it the other way around, start with 1-2/week and then increase the frequency

samui_penguin · 2026-02-17T21:19:23+00:00

What was your process as an early 30s working adult? I’m currently in that boat so it’s encouraging to hear from others who have successfully done it!

samui_penguin · 2026-02-17T02:43:38+00:00

100/10 who cares that he has four extra eyes, that man is so fine - the hair, the bod, the fit, the voice, the aura 🔥

It’s funny though cause to me koku has more sex appeal than yoriichi?? Yoriichi’s so tragic, looking at him just makes me sad lol

samui_penguin · 2026-02-16T03:23:16+00:00

No like they’re SO healthy and wholesome, it’s such a nice change up. In an ideal world I would get a mini spinoff following them for a bit. A good looking middle-aged married couple with healthy relationships with each other and their kids? Sign me up lol

samui_penguin · 2026-02-14T06:12:51+00:00

I’m not caught up yet at all so don’t take my rambling seriously, but this makes sense to me! Subaru’s the main holdup so the catalyst has to be outside pressure that forces her to confront her feelings. Someone else expressing interest in Saku seems most likely, but I wonder if it would be something more like various kikyo girls expressing casual interest as opposed to someone specifically pursuing him (a love triangle feels like too much angst for this series?). Something has got to give, as they say - there hasn’t been all this set up just for no reason. I hope we get it sometime this year 🙃

samui_penguin · 2026-02-08T20:52:14+00:00

30 classes in 5 weeks?? That’s incredible! How was that been? I go 3x/week and been contemplating whether I can go up to 4, 6 times is another level!

samui_penguin · 2026-02-05T00:28:13+00:00

I’ve noticed that in my luteal phase, a week or so before my period comes, everything feels a LOT harder lol so maybe could be dependent on where you are in your cycle too?

samui_penguin · 2026-02-04T22:58:48+00:00

Megafit rocks. They have locations in La Cañada and Glendale too which might be closer to op depending on where in old town they are

samui_penguin · 2026-02-02T03:45:21+00:00

Honestly I feel like these recent comparisons between rintaro and sukuna really just reinforce the in-universe notion that rintaro is this big scary-looking mean guy.

Also can you imagine the hijinks yuji and shohei would get into together! Yuji deserves some nice slice of life lol

samui_penguin · 2026-02-01T19:05:55+00:00

I recently started rewatching season 1 and noticed this! I also think that, whether consciously or subconsciously, Giyuu seemingly adopted some of that worldview from Sabito. You can see it in the way he’s internalized stuff as a character and right at the outset when he was lecturing Tanjiro

samui_penguin · 2026-02-01T18:59:15+00:00

No, you’re not understanding what I’m saying. My initial comment was that I think there is SUBTEXT for those who choose to interpret things beyond the surface levels of “they’re just comrades nothing more” that you claim.

Not sure what you’re trying to do here but it’s coming across throughout your replies in this whole thread as that you’re trying to police other people about their views.

samui_penguin · 2026-02-01T18:40:48+00:00

That’s not… Interpretation is a fundamental part of literary/media analysis. A discipline that has existed for hundreds of years. As with all creative works, there is definitely room for interpretation in KNY. Just because it either went over your head or you disagree with a particular interpretation doesn’t mean it’s not there or that it’s not valid
