sumayyouRebloggedbowcrazyFollowTsurune Flower Analysis—Minato and MasakiMinatoニオイバンマツリ/Nioibanmatsuri (JPN)This might’ve been the toughest in the bunch to research! It’s not a very common flower so it’s not listed on any of the English hanakotoba pages I looked at, which means I had to search in Japanese *sweats*. Nioibanmatsuri are small cluster flowers that bloom a deep purple/blue and then lighten until they become white. Their hanakotoba are 浮気な人 (unfaithful person/someone who fools around); 夢の名 (dream name), 幸運 (good fortune), and 熱心 (enthusiastic/fervent). Obviously, Minato isn’t an unfaithful person, but the phrase in context of the nioibanmatsuri refers to the speed at which the blossoms change color (as in, they can’t stay faithful to just one color). In regards to Minato, this could be a nod to his constant development throughout the story. Nothing in particular jumped out at me for what “dream name” could possibly mean, and “good fortune” probably doesn’t mean anything besides the hope that Minato and his team will continue to do well—especially since all the boys’ flowers seem to have an additional meaning of “good fortune”. “Enthusiastic” speaks for itself—Minato’s ardent love of kyuudou is one of the main points of Tsurune! Additionally, nioibanmatsuri are often seen as a signal that the rainy season is about to begin, which could nod to the trials and tribulations our poor protagonist always seems to go through.Yesterday Today and Tomorrow (Western)The flower itself seems rather obscure, so I wasn’t able to find an exact definition. The common English name for the flower, however, seems to hold some weight. “Yesterday, today, and tomorrow” are words/expressions used to describe time-related experiences—the past you can think back on, the future you can plan and envision for, but today is the only time you can actually take action.Many of Minato’s present conflicts stem from traumatic events from the past, i.e. the accident that killed his mother and, more recently, his target panic. With the past also comes his relationships with Seiya, Shuu, and Ryouhei. At the start of the series, he defines himself by the past and shrinks from others and archery because of them. At the time, his future seemed rather hopeless too, since he believed that he would never be able to overcome his target panic. With Masa-san’s and his other friends’ encouragement and support, however, Minato was able to start actively trying to improve his archery skills in order to get rid of his target panic. Another thing to note is that Minato was also able to move on from his mother’s death and compete in archery once more because of Seiya’s encouragement in middle school. By being continuously proactive “today,” Minato can leave “yesterday” behind and do something more “tomorrow.”Masakiネリネ/Nerine (JPN)Here we have yet another puzzle of a flower; at first glance you could definitely think it’s your typical red lily, if not for the fact that lilies typically don’t grow in clusters on a single stalk and the stalks are typically leafy. After a lot of trial and error (and reference from a jp tweet) the diamond lily, or nerine (particularly the ‘nerine afterglow’ hybrid of the species) has shown to be a rather fitting candidate. But enough plant talk; we’re here for the hanakotoba.Upon checking through a few sources, hanakotoba doesn’t differentiate them and only has a general catch-all set of meanings for nerines. These being: ‘I look forward to the day I meet you again’, ‘endurance’(‘patience’/’perseverance’), ‘brilliant’, and ‘a sheltered child’ (it actually says daughter but for the sake of it being Masa-san let’s say child) with some sources adding ‘happy memories’, ‘radiance’, and ‘a lovely smile’. Before I get to it, I’ll just quickly take out ‘sheltered child’ as that doesn’t feel quite true for Masa-san, while ‘a lovely smile’ seems to speak for itself.  For someone like Masa-san who we know dearly admired his late grandfather, the meaning of ‘happy memories’ (though they became a touch bittersweet once he’d developed his hayake and became estranged from him) would connect rather well. He speaks highly of his grandfather in both the novel and anime despite Masa-san saying that he was ‘discarded as someone who didn’t follow instructions’ by him. In the anime’s last episode and in the prologue of the first book (though he’s yet to be explicitly named as such in the novel), we also see Masa-san (along with Minato and his mother) as a middle schooler watching —enthralled— as his grandfather was competing, the memory clearly something fond that strengthened his passion for kyuudou. We can also consider his new memories with Minato and the rest of Kazemai as something this would relate to since it, in a way, is his new beginning. I would connect ‘I look forward to the day I meet you again’ to his grandfather as well, but in a more metaphorical sense, as we can tell Masa-san is somehow reconnecting with him by way of returning to kyuudou to better understand him and himself. ‘Endurance’ speaks for itself considering his long struggle against his hayake and his efforts in finding suitable methods to remedy it. ‘Radiance’ and ‘brilliant’ could likely be attributed to the beauty of his shooting form as well as his natural talent in kyuudou. Nerine (Western)Nerine don’t have specific Western meanings, so for the purpose of this post we’re using red lilies. Red lilies symbolize purity, majesty, wealth, honor, purity of heart, innocence, pride, regal bearing, high-souled aspirations, a lofty spirit, rebirth, motherhood, passion, love, beauty of youth, amiability, fertility, femininity, unity, and transience. The majority of the definitions described are for the flower in general, but “passion” and “love,” especially the former, are tied to red.Masa-san does come off as “regal” and with “majesty” whenever he actually shoots. “Motherhood” can possibly stem from the fact that Masa-san becomes a parent-like figure, or at the very least a sort of guardian to Minato in the absence of his mother, and father by extension because Minato’s dad is noted to be often busy with work. “Purity,” “honor,” “innocence,” and “beauty of youth” can refer to the fact that Minato was able to overcome his target panic at Yata no Mori/in Masa-san’s presence because we all know those words don’t describe Masa-san. “Rebirth” could refer to Masa-san’s love for kyuudou, as he had fallen out of love for it and was going to quit before he decided to become Kazemai’s coach. “A lofty spirit” and “high-souled aspirations” may refer to the fact that Masa-san is quite the admired figure/idol in both the archery world and to his students at Kazemai, or possibly how he wishes to surpass his grandfather. “Amiability,” “pride,” and “honor” can be tied to his character traits. “Unity” may refer to how the Kazemai archery team was able to connect to each other well under his advice. “Transience” could refer to Minato’s initial belief that Masa-san would only be in his life for a short period of time.sources below the cutKeep reading#tsurune#tsurune: kazemai koukou kyuudoubu#hanakotoba#flower analysis#narumiya minato#takigawa masaki#read後13059

sumayyouRebloggedbowcrazyFollowTsurune Flower Analysis—the Twins and ShuuSenichi & Manjiアマリリス/Amaryllis (JPN)Amaryllis have quite a few meanings in hanakotoba, with one of them seemingly contradictory to the other meanings. First, we have ‘splendid beauty’: the twins, like much of the cast, are definitely attractive (perhaps them being twins give them an extra boost?) so that speaks for itself. Next up are ‘pride’ and ‘talkativeness’, which one could very easily relate to Senichi and Manji given the way they act about themselves and towards most other people. Particularly with their no holds barred way of speaking and how they seem to intentionally rile up some that they know can’t say much against them due to their difference in ability. In both the novel and anime we can see their pride in their technique as archers (at times to the point of haughtiness), so much that they’re not afraid to go toe to toe against someone they feel they can best in archery. This is particularly best illustrated in the novel (book 2, chapter 1 part 2). The twins were unmatched at their current middle school until they saw Shuu perform at a competition, which at the time they saw as a challenge. It’s very much known the both of them admire Shuu’s skills, but their underlying motive was to initially get close to him to ‘steal his skills’. However, their intentions changed not too long after.Which brings me to the last, 内気 (uchiki). Most translations would give you ‘timid’ or ‘shy’ but the word also means ‘unsure’ or ‘diffident’, hinting at a lack of self-confidence. I feel the latter meanings apply better to the twins, though the anime understandably hasn’t touched up on contents from book 2 as much, but we see a better hint of this early into it. In the same chapter Senichi, describes himself as a ‘cheap, insignificant existence’ against someone like Shuu especially after the prefectural tournament, which is quite a blow to himself considering that between the brothers, he idolizes Shuu more. As for Manji, the same feeling comes earlier than his brother’s, dealing with his bout of hayake which—as we’ve seen with Minato—heavily derails an archer’s confidence. During the finale, he’s even shown crying, the weight of Kirisaki’s loss and his own frustration about contributing to it likely coming down on him.Amaryllis (Western)The Amaryllis flower with its unique design is simply eye-catching; it’s no wonder it holds the meaning of beauty and attention. In the Victorian Era, they considered these flowers as a symbol of one’s vanity and strong pride. To this day, people have associated these flowers to these meanings. Considering these messages, it’s accurate to match them with the twins. When they first appeared on screen, they’re shown bickering with each other about hitting the other’s target. Motomura comments on their fast shooting and anyone watching would clearly be entranced by the speed of their release, wondering how anyone could hit at such a pace. How they talked with Kazemai upon meeting them and insulted their team as well as made fun of Minato’s hayake shows them to be prideful and cocky.Their ability to shoot faster than anyone and manage a hit also captures the attention of the viewers, much like the flower itself with its unique design. Being prideful also means they strive for attention, and we can see how the twins seem to do just that for Shuu. Their trait of firing insults to their enemies also raises their potential for having enemies, and that can be considered as getting their opponents’ attention as well. However, despite their prideful acts, no one can deny that the twins also have a sort of beauty in them. Appearance-wise, their similarities also make them unique from others. But under all their cockiness, they can also have a soft side to them as shown by how their character improves as the story progresses in the novel. We also get to see a difference in their personalities which can make them distinguishable after Manji develops hayake, and that can be considered a beautiful development for these two.Shuuチューリップ/Tulip (JPN)In hanakotoba, white tulips can signify “lost love”. When we mention love, people immediately consider romantic or passionate love, but in this case, there is a difference when you consider the kanji (失われた愛) where the character for “love” is read as “ai” and can be translated in the general sense of love. Associating this with Shuu could mean the love he had lost from his mother. In the novel, it was explained how Shuu’s mother never treated him as her own son with the excuse that she’s no good with children. Shuu was taken care of by nurses and his grandparents as he grew up. From this background, we can grasp the idea that he was unable to obtain the love of a mother since childhood. Another thing we can consider about lost love could be his love for kyuudou. In the last episode of the anime, Shuu missed his final shot because he wasn’t “looking at the target”, unlike Minato. This means he was more focused on his opponent than on his own form. His insecurity grew and little by little as he had lost the actual meaning of doing kyuudou.In the OVA, Masa-san compares kyuudou with falling in love and stated that Shuu had never been in love. He says that doing kyuudou involves entering a state of ego-annihilation, where one exists with only an awareness of themself and the bow. Shuu may have loved kyuudou, but he has yet to reach this state as Minato and Masa-san have, and we have yet to find out if he will anytime soon.The flower also holds another meaning: Fame. This we can easily associate with Shuu considering how he’s known in various schools as the unstoppable Young Prince. With his skills in kyuudou and the beauty of his form and shots, everyone is easily enthralled just by watching him. His record of being unbeatable also makes him well-known.Tulip (Western)Tulips have a rather romantic meaning in the English world. General meanings are fame, charity, declaration of love, perfect lover, perfect/deep love, and rebirth. Meanings specific to the color white include worthiness and forgiveness. “Fame” can possibly allude to Shuu’s reputation in the archery world and as the Young Prince within Kirisaki due to his immense skill, as it’s been implied that he has some level of popularity at Kirisaki. “Declaration of love” could point towards Shuu’s feelings towards archery or that famous scene in Episode 8 at the end where Shuu told Minato to ‘take responsibility.’ “Perfect and/or deep love” may be alluding to Shuu’s deep appreciation of archery. “Rebirth” in the metaphorical sense could likely refer to Shuu’s slowly changing attitude about kyuudou; in the anime, he says that one shouldn’t shoot for the sake of someone else, though it sounds more cutting than what Shuu actually means. The director mentions the particular line in their interview in the fanbook and says that when Shuu says this he does recognize Seiya’s skills as an archer, however, as someone who strongly cares about kyuudou, he’d like if Seiya cared more about improving himself because he cared about the sport rather than just for Minato’s sake. Ultimately, at that point Shuu regards kyuudou as something you improve at for your own sake, the members of Kirisaki noting that he doesn’t really give advice or offer help unless you approach him. But in chapter 1 of book 2, he voluntarily asks Minato for advice to help with Manji’s hayake, later even joining Sase and Motomura to ask their coach to let Manji remain in the team as both the twins would quit should Manji have been dropped from the main team. He even says (in chapter 2) that he’d like to remain in a team with them. sources under the cutKeep reading#tsurune#tsurune: kazemai koukou kyuudoubu#hanakotoba#flower analysis#sugawara senichi#sugawara manji#fujiwara shuu#read後2862

sumayyouReblogged nephilottamarrudFollowI'm going to be scratching at the surface of this, but when I use the term "calculated" when describing Israel’s genocidal tactics, I'm not using it arbitrarily. Military violence is in fact based on a lot of calculations, and here I don't mean figurative estimations but rather actual mathematical formulas. The first example that comes to mind is from the Iraq war, where "the number of anticipated civilian deaths was carefully appraised beforehand in a calculation known as the collateral damage estimate".A mathematical calculation was needed in order to determine the extent of casualties following US attacks. "The magic number was 30", meaning if the number of expected civilians killed in a US attack was ≥30, Rumsfeld or Bush had to sign off on the attack. Whereas if the number was less than 30, it was an automatic go-ahead. This degree of dehumanisation is basically seen as setting a threshold so that military lawyers and humanitarian law can be able to determine what's “lawful” and what's "collateral civilian death".Now of course this is something applied by Israel as well, where, for instance, formulas are created to predict the number of people necessary to be killed by Israel in order for a Palestinian organisation to be eliminated. One equation was created by Itzhaq Ben Israel, then chairman of Israel's space agency, in 2002. It goes: Q=1–(q ln q + 1/q ln 1/q), where Q stands for the probability of the collapse of the Palestinian organisation and q is the percentage of killings necessarily done by Israel. You can find the breakdown of it here.Israel doesn't stop there. With its siege on Gaza since 2007, it relied heavily on daily calculations to enforce its blockade. You've likely heard about the Red Lines documents, in which Israel calculates the amounts of food allowed into Gaza through rationing calories using the following formulas: These calculations usually use a "humanitarian minimum" threshold determined by lawyers, scientists, engineers, humanitarian experts, etc. Based on these thresholds, the formulas and equations also seep into things like the amount of electricity Gaza would receive. For example, in 2008 Israel would reduce the current supplied by each powerline by 5% every week for months to test how low the minimum threshold can be. When Gaza's power plant required 3.5 million litres of diesel to work at full capacity, Israel's high court decided that the "humanitarian minimum" was 2.2 million litres, reducing the plant's operation to 68%, forcing Gaza to undergo routine blackouts (details here). Israel then reduced it to 1.5 million litres which affected fresh water supply, crops, and decreased sewage pumping, resulting in the sewage treatment plant to overflow and for millions of litres of raw sewage to pour into the Mediterranean for days, after which of course Israel decided to increase the amount of diesel allowed in as that started to affect Israeli beaches.So yea, they may call it "calculating the economy of the violence" or "proportionality principles". But it's murder. It's genocide. It's incremental and it's grotesque. #disgusting treating ppl like numbers🤬🤬#free palestine#palestine#world#awareness1529526

sumayyouRebloggedhorse-girl-anthyFollowIkuhara Collaboratorsas fans, it's easy to attribute any given aspect of an Ikuhara work to its flashy director. he is indeed a showrunner, the one who provides the uniting vision for a project. however, that doesn't mean that he is "the creator." anime production requires a lot of teamwork, which ultimately determines the quality of a work. rather than being a lone auteur, Ikuhara's strength as a director stems from his ability to draw in talent and create synergy between members. this post will highlight the individuals who worked with Ikuhara to bring his shows to life. a quick note before we start: there are countless workers involved in a single anime production. for my sanity and yours, I focused on the ones I could find detailed information about. if you know of any additional contributors, or have detail to add about any of those I've included, feel free to leave a comment!Keep reading#rarely read long posts or remember to#but i love Ikuhara's works sm & am dying to know more about the creative process behind them all#such an amazingly talented & ranged team i am stunned!!!🦭🦭💖💖#love seeing the names of my fave series crop up:#Mushishi#banana fish#and seeing who is accredited to fave charas/sequences!!🦭💖#kawausoiya seq!!!😫🙏✨️#music is always insanely unique & top tier!!! i listen to Sarazanmai/Penguindrum ost a lot!!🤤🫶✨️#bless the seals who worked on Mikki Juuri & Kuji bros my beloveds!!!😭😭🫶✨️#feel like i just learnt the secrets of the universe ty for this God sent info!!🙏✨️#kunihiko ikuhara#revolutionary girl utena#mawaru penguindrum#sarazanmai#aniproduction info👀✨️#long read📚✨️54123

sumayyouRebloggedplumpydollFollowI can vouch personally for the validity of this campaign, as well as @gazavetters (#213 on the list).They urgently, URGENTLY need your donation.A reblog, that’s all it really takes. There are campaigns on here with tens of thousands of notes — how do you think they got there?By everyone scrolling past? Complain about morality OCD and compassion burnout all you want. My friend Zeina’s family survived the bombing, but they are not safe.Even after the so-called ceasefire, their lives are still hanging by a thread. At any moment I am not speaking to Zeina, it is possible that she has no food, no shelter, no safety this is what “after the war” looks like in Gaza.Think about living with ruins instead of homes, fear instead of stability, and the echo of everything they lost. There’s no “getting used to” that as your constant reality.So when I ask you to reblog this post, think about the lack of effort it would take to flick your thumb and realize it could still be saving the lives of 14 people, affected by destruction and trauma far beyond what you could possibly imagine on your own.#important#fundraiser#world#free palestine#famine#genocide424,5281,622
