Identical. Absolutely Identical.

Grandma core? I need to know what kinda cool grandmas y'all got if they're wearing this

I only heard of these two since basically yesterday and I'm already obsessed with them. I'll take a comic, a TV series, a movie, a book---something---anything but I need more of them PLEASE.

We need more couples with their dynamic, I am BEGGING like Måneskin!

I hate how well the duality of Shinpei is handled between him being bat-crap crazy and being a sickeningly sweet husband

I find it funny how people in the Homicipher fandom keep drawing Mr. Crawling with the super beefy manhwa body type yet Mr. Crawling more than likely is built like Victor Van Dort from Corpse Bride.

I'm not denying the strength Mr. Crawling has (because he's DEFINITELY strong) and I'm not saying you can't make art of whatever you want. And who knows? Perhaps he does have a sleeper build under his outfit. But I personally feel like he's got the thickness of a twig under there, lol

The fact there was an ikemen stand at the festival and one of the people there was a lady---and Yashiro was simping---implies Yashiro's into handsome women. Sure, you could argue she was gushing over the collective, but it's still a notable detail to me

Yeah for real, why is he surprised, lol?

you realized like.. now?!

There's a live action version of Firefly Wedding?

DON'T DO THIS TO ME. DON'T DO THIS, DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART, DON'T PLAY WITH ME LIKE THIS---

English Translation of CanCam's article

2.5-dimensional handsome actor Shohei Hashimoto perfectly recreates the role of the “love is too heavy” killer! What is the popular manga “Hotaru no Yomeiri”?

``Firefly's Wedding'' is the latest work by Oreko Tachibana, the author of the manga ``Promise Cinderella,'' which was made into a live-action film by Fumi Nikaido and Atsushi Maeda, and became a hot topic of conversation (currently being serialized in ``Manga One''). In this work, the heroine's partner, the assassin Shinpei, became a hot topic, saying that ``love is too heavy,'' and the first volume was decided to be urgently reprinted as soon as it was released! To commemorate the release of Volume 2, the popular character Shinpei has been perfectly recreated by 2.5D actor Shohei Hashimoto. Mr. Hashimoto has appeared in many Japanese-style productions such as the musical ``Hakuouki'' and the stage play ``Touken Ranbu,'' and is a manga lover who even wrote the original story himself. We will also introduce recommended points of "Firefly's Wedding" as well as photos taken of Shinpei in Japanese clothes ♡

The time is the Meiji era. Satoko Kirigaya, the daughter of a count, is blessed with both her family name and beauty, but it has been declared that she has only a short time left to live, and her only dream is to marry in a way that will benefit her family. Meanwhile, Satoko's life is suddenly targeted by a mysterious killer, and in order to survive, she proposes to the killer, Shinpei Goto, ``Please marry me.'' It was supposed to be a one-off lie, but Shinpei is a man with a lot of love...

Q: ──I'm sure you're used to wearing Japanese clothes on stage, but what did you think of wearing a kimono inspired by Shinpei?

A: It's been a while since I've worn a kimono like this (a kimono without a haori, simply tying an obi), so I was very happy, and there's something exciting about photographing kimonos. This time, I was playing the role of a killer, so I had a lot of fun filming it, thinking that I shouldn't let my excitement show too much.

Q: ──You showed off various facial expressions and postures, but what points did you pay attention to in order to bring out Shinpei's uniqueness?

A: I was struck by the way Shinpei-kun's head is tilted, as if he's relaxed and relaxed, so I kept this atmosphere in mind when designing his stance. The rest is the eyes. In fact, before filming, the author, Tachibana Oreko, gave me this advice to my editor: ``Anyway, I hope you give me dead eyes...''

Q:──Mr. Hashimoto, what impressions did you have when you read “Hotaru no Yomeiri”?

A: I thought it was going to be a girls' manga as a genre, but there are scenes where people are cut with swords and it's surprisingly cruel, so it's different from the girls' manga I had imagined! I was surprised with. Because of the battle scenes, it's very easy to read even for someone like me who came from a youth magazine. Of course, it's about the love story between Satoko and Shinpei, but it also has suspense elements like who orchestrated Satoko's kidnapping in the first place, so I think it's a fun manga to explore.

Q:──What scene in particular captured your heart because of the beauty of the painting?

A: The scene where Shinpei-kun and Satsuko-san watch fireflies together. I especially love the scene in Volume 2 where Shinpei-kun releases fireflies into Satsuko-san's room. Another unforgettable scene is the scene where the two kiss for the first time. There are many people lying around who were killed by Shinpei-kun, and the two figures are reflected in the pool of blood. Although the situation is cruel, it is a very nice expression and I think it is beautiful. It's so fascinating that you can't help but look into every corner of it.

Q: ──Mr. Hashimoto, what kind of character did you think of Shinpei?

A: At first, you get the strong impression that Shinpei-kun is kind of a "dangerous person," but as you read on, you'll find that he's surprisingly cute. I thought this gap made him a really fun character. For example, the scene at the beginning where Satoko is saved from a villain while she is locked up in a prison. He escapes by jumping off a tall building, and I really like his poignant expression. He even makes an expression like this! (laughs) After all, love is heavy! Looking at Shinpei-kun makes me think that love and madness may be a thin line.

Q: Mr. Hashimoto, you sometimes demonstrate your swordsmanship on stage, but what impression did you get of Shinpei's sword technique?

A; This first sword line is depicted in the scene where Shinpei-kun saves Satsuko-san. I really like his style of cutting with his legs wide open. In the case of kimono, there is a style of slashing without showing your legs, but when I played Hajime Saito in ``Hakuoki'', I also slashed with my legs wide open. Also, although Shinpei-kun looks rough, he has a surprisingly delicate expression on his sword. For example, this sword technique that involves returning the sword in a detailed manner. It gives the impression of a mixture of movement and stillness.

Q: ──If ``Hotaru no Yomeiri'' were ever made into a stage play and Mr. Hashimoto was chosen to play Shinpei, how would you like to play him?

A; I want to firmly express Shinpei-kun's dual nature. Shinpei-kun may be saying what he really means, but if you look at him from the outside, you can't see the bottom of his heart. I would like to act with this in mind.

Yeah he tends to be real cute when he's not killing people 💗 :)

Shinpei going all giddy over Satoko is sooo cute 💗

THIS. THIS. THIS. A THOUSAND FREAKING TIMES, THIS

PRETTY PEOPLE THINK LIKE THIS

Criticism but small.

We know the term, yandere is someone who turns violent out of love. That means we can have a male yandere who isn't horny 24/7, who isn't a rapist, isn't a pervert, isn't abusive and isn't a baby trapper. Just a male yandere who respects boundaries and has understanding towards it. Also having more maturity and growth. I prefer a male yandere like that who's similar to Shinpei Goto from Firefly Wedding. He's a good representation of male yanderes and please go read it, it's an online manga. What's good about it is he doesn't make himself unredeemable and more enjoyable enough for me to support his yandere tendencies. Maybe I'm just complaining again. Oh well, I'm just putting it out there.

One thing I find so laughable about My Happy Marriage how much the other characters boldly ship Miyo and Kiyoka to the point of overriding boundaries. What's even more laughable is how just about every other person is trying to put in the work to make sure Miyo and Kiyoka get to making kids.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it literally when Kiyoka and Miyo visit his mother and her mansion, one of the maids/servants or something sets up a bedroom for Miyo and Kiyoka to share a bed together? Keep in mind, this happened, IN HIS OWN PARENTS' HOUSE--

And then Prince Takaihito takes it a step further by actively manipulating the situation to where Miyo and Kiyoka would have to sleep on the same futon. EVEN THE PRINCE IS TRYING TO GET THEM TO BOINK BRO

I would put myself into debt to have this become a thing---no joke.

i would do anything for a firefly wedding anime adaptation

look at the a material! the romance is well written and their chemistry is so good

A part of me legit wants to see an alien x human female couple in media where the alien learns about periods, and they're just frantically caring for their female human s/o and desperately trying not to mess anything up because they've literally never heard of menstruation, but feel completely horrible about the fact their s/o suffers through it.

Alien: You're telling me that for seven days each month, you're subjected to immense agony, bleeding, and intense emotional change?

Fem Human: Yeah, pretty much.

Alien: And there's utterly nothing I can do to remove these forthcoming events?

Fem Human: Not any that would have potentially undesirable consequences depending on the person.

Alien: Oh my love, I am so terribly sorry.

This actually helps so much, please marry me

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Robin "I steal from the rich and give to the poor" Hood

You’re a rogue with enough gold to last ten lifetimes. But old habits die hard—you sneak through crowds, slipping coins into people’s pockets. The kingdom is buzzing about the mysterious, generous "thief."

Guess it's time to make a fanfiction for Marvel's Moon Knight.

Your harassing neighbor dies. Then a bullying coworker dies in a crash. Within a month, people you’ve had bad blood with start dying. The police are watching you closely—but you haven’t done anything… at least, not that you know of.

I can see the direction of this turning the mage into a very creative, intelligent, and/or whimsical person----or it makes them dumb as a rock, lol

"Well, it seems our mage now has uh...quite the mindframe now since the incident."

*pans over to the mage who's now attempting to eat a fluffy dandelion and choking on the fluttering seeds*

When a mage is badly injured, magic sometimes "fills in the gaps"—growing an arcane hand or leg. You suffered brain damage that would have killed most. Magic filled in your mind.

If only this is what actually happened in the chapter/episode (T v T)

All About Perspective

This scene was special to me because while we could say a lot about Jinshi blushing because he’s startled or MaoMao’s purely clinical concern for his health, I think there’s also an interesting dual perspective going on here.

When MaoMao strips to keep from catching cold she says that she’ll keep her undergarments on cause even though it’s “just a set of skinny ribs” she’d like to conceal what she can. To me, even though it’s a small comment, that came across like she finds herself so unappealing and thin. Switch to when she’s checking Jinshi for fever.

He blushes and looks at her. We then get this image of her from his eyes and it’s not an impression of a young woman who’s frail with skinny ribs, to him she’s beautiful. Slight but pretty. We’re meant to know he’s taken with her. All this is about how the other perceives themselves. MaoMao sees herself as thin from being a working class girl but Jinshi perceives her as lovely. Jinshi sees his beauty as a tool but MaoMao, while acknowledging it, moves past it to the man underneath who needs her care and concern.

It’s about the person, for both of them. That’s how they bring value to one another because what they don’t see in themselves, the other sees perfectly. 💜

This is the equivalent of finding out your grandma was a baddie back in the day.

I agree with this headcanon completely 😂👍

Hi, I just joined the fandom, but I found this extract from the LN (i don't know from which book came from, sorry), and I image how Maomao could react when Jinshi gave her the velvet antler.

If she look so happy with the bezoars,

How she react with the velvet antler?

This is my vision.

Jinshi gave her after a big trouble and Maomao is angry with him.

But...

When she see the antler...

And Gaoshun, say somehow likes that: "You look very happy Xiaomao!"

"Of course I am!

I'm an apothecary, and those are my velvet antlers!"

And Maomao kisses Jinshi.

😂

I also really like it because Jinshi had apologized and taken accountability for making Maomao uncomfortable. Plus, the nature of Jinshi getting the ox bezoar is so cute. It's why I can't hate this ship despite Jinshi sometimes being a weirdo to me, because he does usually tend to make up for it with his occasional sincerity.

While everyone—myself included—is raving about the frog scene... I absolutely adored the door scene at the end...

She sees him for him and that's why I love them so much. I loved the introspection we got from Maomao about her not understanding and picking up on other people's emotions well... But in this moment, she said what he needed to hear most... And then, in true JinMao fashion, this serious and impactful moment of sincerity was interrupted by tomfoolery...

You guys don't understand how much I love the duality of JinMao... They have such a complex and nuanced dynamic—but at the same time, they're so silly...

Well, if I lived in a place where the emperor could easily have my head on a pile for sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, I think I would also be uninterested in the major politics.

maomao is so funny, she's like world's no 1 detective who isn't a detective and guesses (accurately!) at some of the nation's biggest secrets within the first like 10 episodes and is like but that's none of my businesses and never tells anyone anything ever

"I don't like traffic safety earrings" my butt.

That's actually so cute and sad though, stop---

Hanako making himself the protagonist of the alternate world in the Picture Perfect arc will never not be funny to me.

Hanako actively makes himself the relatively popular boy who's good at sports, good at everything, gets to show off his intelligence, has a lot of friends, and those friends behave as his wingmen in helping him get the girl he wants. Because in that world, Aoi actively tells Yashiro that 'Amane' is a catch---meaning he actively set it up for Yashiro to eventually relent into going out with him. I'm pretty sure even in the anime, it even has Aoi (or the fake one anyway) say, "His height doesn't hold him back on the field"

Like bro's just making an advertisement for himself---

Of course this dude who's gone through most of his life with no one all of a sudden makes himself a beloved and well-known student who gets the girl. On one hand, it's funny---but on the other hand, it's low-key kinda sad, lol.

The 'frog' incident is still VERY up in arms for me here, but this does provide some explanation that I think people don't generally look into. I do feel very bad for him, but that's what I think it should just be---explanation and not justification.

I am glad he's a bit less of a weirdo than his manga counterpart (if you know, you know), but it's still Jinshi and he still has quite a LOT to learn about relationships (at least from what I know).

Honestly i feel like Jinshi's behavior and him being pushy when it comes to Maomao suddenly makes sense when you realize he's been basically a victim of multiple sexual assaults/attempts at such throughout his life (can't find the exact part in the books rn but it's mentioned that people have been regularly trying to sneak into his chambers due to his nymph-like beauty, and then there's the fact that people have been straight up sending him underwear made from their HAIR??? Like the amount of people we'd consider stalkers that Jinshi attracts is insane) + then there's the fact that his entire life anything that belonged to him was immediately taken away from him. Like. This man needs therapy, i genuinely don't think he knows how romancing someone works and how to deal with wanting to "have" someone for himself, like obviously he probably knows the basics of it but the way he's trying to flirt with her was probably unfortunately influenced by how people always acted around him

And then he's also trying to rush the romance because he fears he'll lose Maomao or she will be taken away from him

And then the fact that she's basically making all these grossed out faces around him and is treating him like a normal person - he probably feels safe around her

He's such a poor lil meow meow
