Are you ok? You aren't on tumblr much anymore

Hi anon, thanks for your message and your concern! I’ve been thinking a while of what to say...I’m healthy, and currently life outside the internet is quite consuming. A family member passed away a few months back so I needed to leave the country for a bit, and now I’m busy with applications and interviews and...kind of in the middle of deciding my next life direction. Busy with other happy things too, like birthday celebrations, book club discussions, and very quality time spent with my family and friends :) 

As exciting and fun fandom is, I also get burnt out really easily, and at this time, I feel I need to take it slow or I’ll lose my love for fandom entirely. (It’s something that happened to me a few years back.) I’m still enjoying TG:Re but I cannot keep up with the weekly spoilers and excitement, so I’m contented to wait for the chapter to be out (sometimes even two or three chapters to be out) before reading it. 

I do apologise to those who requested translations and asked fandom related questions and which I haven’t delivered on. I haven’t deleted any of the messages, and when I have the energy and drive I would love to answer them, but I’m afraid I’ll be taking a while to get back into fandom. I’m really sorry, and also thankful that there are people concerned enough to send me a kind message ;__;

TGRe 75 Partial Text Translation

In the midst of deep darkness, Kaneki thinks about Touka and the rest.

Kaneki: (...were Touka and the rest... able to make a full escape...

I'm sure they're fine... Maybe this is enough...)

In the darkness the sound of the machine press is reverberating. Naked, Kaneki is entering the river Styx.

??: ...no way, oi!

Kaneki: ...!?

As Kaneki is entering the river, somebody grabs his wrist and stops him. That person...is Hide.

Hide: What do you mean “maybe this is enough”! You think you're that person who committed suicide by drowning...? That...famous one...!

Kaneki: ...Hi-...

Hide: Come on, get out of there.

Kaneki: Eh...

Hide: And put some clothes on, seeing your naked figure doesn't make me happy at all, kay?

Kaneki: Ah, sorry...

Now clothed, Kaneki sits facing Hide.

Hide: So...you say you've bought plenty of time, or rather, you've more than fulfilled your duty fighting Glasses – you really haven't changed, man.

Kaneki: I-I'm sure they're about to reach the Disposal site by now...with everybody co-operating...

Hide: You liar, you're bothered by the sound just now.

Kaneki: ...

Hide: You understand, yeah? That something happened up there.

Kaneki: ...

Hide: You understand and despite that...it's okay to just be beaten up like this, is it?

Kaneki: ...but...I can't...

Hide: You saying you can't win?

Kaneki: Yeah...

Hide: I say you can. Cause you're so muscular! What happened to those muscles, eh?

Kaneki: ...I wonder if you're right...

Hide: I'm sure I am!

Kaneki: ...

Kaneki has his head bowed, silent, but it seems like a smile is slowly returning to his face. While looking down, he speaks.

Kaneki: Hide...

Hide: Yeah?

Kaneki: I...I'm...I'm lonely without you...

Hide: ...are you a rabbit?

...you kept going on and on about stuff like “I want to die” and “I want to disappear”.

...you just haven't found a reason to live, yeah?

You'll find it real quick. Don't waste the life you went through such pains to get back.

Hide stands up.

Hide: Hey, you can walk already, right? Go on now.

Kaneki remains seated. With his back turned, Hide speaks.

Hide: Kaneki.

You said, “I want to die in a cool way for somebody. I'll risk my life.”?

I~diot, at that time I was thinking, “I want to live with you.”

I'll say it until you listen. Even if it's in an ugly way – live.

The conversation within the mind ends. While crying, Kaneki's hair turns white and he awakens.

The flowers are lovely but when they wither the seed pods are left, and they look like skulls. In English they are known as Snapdragons.

I have it bad for Hogwarts!TG. Needed to scribble out something quickly.

Fandom: Tokyo Ghoul (placed in Hogwarts setting) Character(s)/Pairing(s): Implied Amoneki. Kaneki Ken, Mado Akira, Harima Touko. Summary: Kaneki works up the courage to step into the hospital. Word Count: 1,022 Warning(s): NIL Notes: Written to scratch the Hogwarts!TG itch. I’ll probably write more as and when :) Lots of headcanon for Houses and such so let me know if you’re confused/want to find out more~

.

Kaneki paused outside the doors to the Hospital Wing, the courage he had talked himself into faltering. The sound of laughter and good-natured ribbing from inside the Hospital made his courage disappear altogether, and he tugged uncomfortably at his striped tie.

He sighed, took a few steps away, then stopped and looked back at the doors as though they were dragon teeth that might snap him up.

Just go in there and say you’re glad he’s alright, Kaneki told himself firmly. It wouldn’t be too weird. The fourth-year Gryffindor was one of the popular students in Hogwarts and was surely used to people wishing him well. In fact, from the two hours that Kaneki had spent hiding in a little alcove watching people from all Houses and years make their way to the Hospital Wing, he was almost certain that he wouldn’t stick out too much. He would just be one of the many nameless well-wishers that the boy wouldn’t even remember.

Yes. That was right. So why did he feel like he was going to vomit all over his shoes the moment he opened his mouth?

chimeric-civetta said: Oh! And where do you think Amon was sorted? More people vote fog Griffindor, but I do belive that he is Hufflpuff nerd. =)))

(It’s been so long since I replied replies I hope I’m doing this right!)

Ooooh he can be quite a nerd! I headcanon him as Gryffindor though, with his strong moral code and not shying away from confrontation if he believes he’s doing the right thing. And also the pig-headed stubbornness that tends to be the negative trait of Gryffindors ^^;;

ヨハネの黙示録 20章(4)

また見ていると、かず多くの座があり、その上に人々がすわっていた。そして、彼らにさばきの権が与えられていた。また、イエスのあかしをし神の言(ことば)を伝えたために首を切られた人々の霊がそこにおり、また、獣をもその像をも拝まず、その刻印を額や手に受けることをしなかった人々がいた。彼らは生きかえって、キリストと共に千年の間、支配した。

カネキくんが蘇った時、千年王国が来るのかもしれない。

殉教した者や反キリストに従わなかった者たちの魂(魂はフロッピーとも言われる)で、世界を支配するのか……これは亜カネ展開期待しちゃうよ…!!? この流れで来るのかそこは先生の匙加減だからわからないけど!!

千年王国に入るための条件である「悔い改め」を強調することってすごく亜カネの予感だ……。悔い改めの象徴を十字架に込めて首から下げてたヒトよく知ってるもの……!

千年間続く「楽園のような時代」 をふたりで築いて欲しい。くそ萌えるから。

Revelation of Saint John the Divine, 20:4

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 

.

When Kaneki-kun is brought back, perhaps the Thousand-Year Reign will arrive.

Then the world will be ruled by the souls of martyrs and those who refused to follow the Antichrist (souls are also called floppies)...this will make me anticipate an amoneki development, okay...!!? Even though I wouldn’t know whether this would happen because it’s all up to sensei!!

The requirement for entering this kingdom emphasises repentance, which really feels like a premonition for amoneki... After all, people who hang a cross - which symbolises repentance - from their necks would understand this......!

I wish for the two of them to build the “Paradise on Earth” that will last a thousand years. Because that will be too adorable.

.

TL: I used the version of the verse found here.  You can read about the Thousand-Year Reign here.  I do not know where the saying/theory that souls are also called floppies come from. At best, I could only find a Japanese source here (a blog post).

ヨハネの黙示録 12章(1-5)

また、天に大きなしるしが現れた。一人の女が身に太陽をまとい、月を足の下にし、頭には十二の星の冠を被っていた。 女は身ごもっていたが、子を産む痛みと苦しみのため叫んでいた。 また、もう一つのしるしが天に現れた。見よ、火のように赤い大きな竜である。これには七つの頭と十本の角があって、その頭に七つの冠を被っていた。 竜の尾は、天の星の三分の一を掃き寄せて、地上に投げつけた。そして、竜は子を産もうとしている女の前に立ちはだかり、産んだら、その子を食べてしまおうとしていた。 女は男の子を産んだ。この子は、鉄の杖ですべての国民を治めることになっていた。子は神のもとへ、その玉座へ引き上げられた。

The Revelation of Saint John the Divine, 12:1-5

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

.

At first, I started drawing with the image of Abraxas based on Demian, Chapter 5, “The Bird Fights Its Way Out of the Egg”. However, with the way the story is going, I became aware of the above mentioned verses and thus hurriedly changed some parts.

Saint Peter’s Basilica

Doves are called “Sheep of Birds”.  They were the only birds allowed as sacrifices to God.

If Amon-san’s right eye is a kagune, in this composition both of them show their human eye, and in the opposite both of them would show their kagune, huh.
