Observing Asahina Brothers

Moshi-moshi, minna-tachi!

So this is just. Random musings (as usual).

Like, when you look at Asahina Brothers, maybe you get the impression that they look nothing like each other, but, seriously, they shares similar traits to each other. Once you find them, you will think, "Oh, they're really brothers after all!".

This is what I found:

Eye Color

Brown / amber eye color dominates. Masaomi, Kaname, Hikaru, Subaru, Iori, Yuusuke, Fuuto, and Wataru. Ranked second is purple eye color, which belongs to the triplet. Sadly for Ukyou and Louis, but no one else share their eye colors. Ukyou got his eye color from their mother though.

Eye Shape

Categorized into two type, droopy and sharp. In the droopy group is Masaomi, Kaname, Hikaru, and Fuuto. In the sharp group is Ukyou, Subaru, Iori, Yuusuke, and Wataru. The triplet is also in the sharp group, though their eyes are slanted, especially Natsume. Louis may seem that he belongs to the droopy group, but I think he's just. Too lazy to stare wide.

Hair Color

Shades of brown and black dominates. Masaomi is darkest brunette, Hikaru is chestnut brown, Fuuto is light brown. The triplet has the darkest hue of black, and it gradually goes lighter as it passed to Subaru and Iori. Then there's shades of blond, which is inherited from Miwa to Ukyou and Kaname. Putting Louis's pale-grey hair color aside, what's weird here is Yuusuke's fiery red and Wataru's light pink blond hair.

Hair Shape

Not talking about their style, but rather... the texture? Grouped into two, unruly and straight. Masaomi, Tsubaki, Iori, and Fuuto belongs to the unruly group. Then the rest—Ukyou, Kaname, Hikaru, Azusa, Natsume, Subaru, Yuusuke, and Wataru—goes to the straight group, despite their might not seem straight due to a lot of styling. Louis's is wavy.

Then there's also group of those who have ahoge and those who doesn't have ahoge. The triplet, despite Natsume's seems non-existent, belongs to this group along with Louis, Iori, Fuuto, and Wataru, and the rest goes to the opposite group. Ukyou arguably also has an ahoge on the back of his head. Though, this grouping is kind of uncertain, because at some points those who has ahoge, like Iori, seems to have moments where their ahoge is gone.

Naturally Talented

There's a few category:

1. Sport oriented: Natsume, for his track skill. Subaru, for his basketball skill. Yuusuke, for his soccer skill. 
2. Academic oriented: Masaomi and Ukyou.
3. Art oriented: Hikaru and Louis.
4. Balanced: those who are said to be good at doing things, though not surpassing the rest of their brothers. Kaname, Azusa, Iori, Fuuto, Wataru.

Sadly for Tsubaki, I can't seem to put him into any category;;

I actually want to add more like those who has muscles and those who doesn't, but I guess that doesn't have anything to do with being connected through blood lol;

iokana_bot's update

「いくら兄弟でも言わないとわからないこともあるさ。祈織の気持ちを全て察せなんて到底無理な話だね」「兄弟としてが無理なら恋人として僕の気持ちを察せ ばいい。要兄さんならできるよね？」「都合のいい時だけ恋人扱いはやめろよ」「僕はいつだって要兄さんを恋人としてみてるけど」「…嘘吐き」

"Even though we're brothers, there are things that can't be understood if not spoken. An impossible case is Iori's feeling that I can't understand wholly no matter how much I try to guess it."
"If it's impossible to be understood as brothers, then you can try guessing it as my lover. If it's Kaname-niisan, I'm sure you can do it."
"Stop treating me as your lover only when it's convenience."
"I always look at Kaname-niisan as my lover though."
"... Liar."

「してる時やめろとか言うと『嫌なら全力で振り切ったら？要兄さんの力なら僕くらい簡単に振り切れるくせに振 り切らないのはして欲しいってことでしょ？』とか顔色変えずに言ってくるところはやめてほしいね」「そういうの嫌いじゃないくせに 」「そういうの言わずに普通にしたいって言ってるんだよ」

"I want you to stop telling me to stop it or 'i you don't want it, you can shake me off though? If it's with Kaname-niisan's strength, you can shake me off easily, but you don't, so you actually want it, right?' with a change of expression."
"Even though you don't hate it."
"Without having to say it usually I actually want to say to do it normally."

RP Event: 10 years ago

Moshi-moshi, minna-tachi!

Jadi, ini baru sekedar plan, tapi kita berencana ngadain event bersama para RPer BroCon Indonesia lagi nih, setelah yang Halloween kemarin. Yang diutamain buat ngikut emang yang masuk 'keluarga bebek' (ww) tapi yang bukan juga boleh :)

Event: Asahinas 10 years ago
Waktu: akan diputuskan bersama, rencana awal event akan berlangsung paling lama selama seminggu penuh
Needed participants: seluruh Asahina kyoudai
Detail: tinggalkan segala plot yang ada sekarang dan mari berpindah timeline ke masa 10 tahun yang lalu! Ketika sebagian besar kyoudai-tachi ini masih bersekolah. Ketika mereka masih bersikap begitu bocah, sesuai umur mereka, atau dipaksa untuk bersikap lebih dewasa sepeninggal almarhum ayah.

Sepertinya sebagian besar RPer sudah melewati masa-masa UTS, dan sebentar lagi UAS menjelang. Tapi jika memang ada waktu, well, why not? Mari kita tentukan bersama kapan waktu yang baik untuk menjalankan event ini agar kita semua bisa berpartisipasi dan have fun :)

shippy bot stuffs (BroCon)

From iokana_bot

As Kaname:

祈織と二人でいてもたまにあいつは俺を見ていないから、そういう時、本当に胸が苦しいよ、
Iori, when it's just the two of us, he never looks at me, at those times, I feel a pang in my heart

[BROTHERS CONFLICT] "Gossip" lyric translation

Moshi-moshi, minna-tachi!

So... I found the lyric to Gossip, one of the songs in BROTHERS CONFLICT's Character Album "O/TO/NA", here but I can't copy paste the lyric so... I just type the romaji here. And here is the translation.

I'm giggling the whole time I'm listening to the song and translating this. Mainly because this song kind of mocks the current situation in Brothers Conflict RP I'm in XD The other is because they really sound like a couple singing a duet song together here lol

Okay, without further await, here's the translation~

Rant: Belle en het Beest's naming

Moshi-moshi, minna-tachi!

So I feel bored at the moment while downloading Fate/Prototype Drama CD and I don't want to look at the dialogues in Kiss Anthology or conjuring up paragraphs of an RP character point of view then I thought why not post something else here.

This is totally a rant about my WIP spin-off fic and really trivia so please ignore this as I most likely will only bore the heck out of you.

--

The particular spin-off fic that I'm talking about is Belle en het Beest, Dutch for Beauty and the Beast, and is based on In the Moonlight by aicchan. Basically the story is revolves around how Minos and Albafica met and got together. I have it change POV every chapter, like how some novels do—since the story is actually written by Albafica, who works as a freelance novelist in ITM. This has been implied since the very first chapter, with Camus finding a book titled Belle en het Beest and decided to read it.

Do you understand that? No? Okay, moving on.

I'm going to start rambling about the names I gave to the characters.

As you know, most of Saint Seiya characters have no surname known to readers. They have titles, though, like Pegasus Seiya, Sagittarius Aiolos, etc. I don't know if the mangaka(s) are just too lazy to think up surnames or think it's unecessary since the setting is European so basically it's okay go rude by calling others on first name basis or they're imitating some other series where only really important people get to have surnames (like for example Suikoden's aristocratic characters) but the basic idea is: most of them don't have surnames.

This kind of irks me as I'm pretty fond of writing AU and happy fic for them (because the fandom doesn't need more angst element than it already has) and it's just weird if say that in a High School AU when a teacher is calling the roster something like this happens:

Teacher: Nakajima-kun.
Student A: Yes.
Teacher: Sakuragi-san.
Student B: Yes, ma'am.
Teacher: Seiya-kun.
Seiya: Yeaaah.

Like, no.
Seiya is not his surname so I'm not going to accept this kind of thing /fliptables

So I gave these characters last names. Though I came up with them only when I arrive to the part where I make someone refers to the character by last name and not long before that, know that I gave a long thought when I came up with these names. Because, you know. A name is the first gift that your parents gave you, so it's important. See how I do it here.

Right now there are only two characters in Belle en het Beest who had a full name, and they're part of the royal family—Lugonis and Albafica. For Lugonis, I gave him the name Lugonis Alseis Challwa and Albafica's Albafica Quina Challwa. I'll tell you why I gave them the middle names and the last name.

Challwa is their family name. They're member of a dynasty, a ruling family of the current generation. Just like how Princess Rose Guinea Avalon of Chronicle 2nd came from Avalon dynasty. The origin of Challwa name came from Quechua language for fish. Obviously, this relates to the fact that both are Pisces Gold Saints.

The reason I choose Quechua language is because it's one of language used in South American countries, such as Ecuador. Why Ecuador? Well, some people (or me) have a headcanon that Lugonis (or his family) came from Ecuador, since he is named after a plant native to the country.

Alseis, if you look up with google help, is a species of plant which complete scientific name is Alseis lugonis. As mentioned before, this plant is endemic in Ecuador.

That particular plant is part of Rubiaceae family, which links us to Quina. Quina or quinine (also widely known as Chinchona), is also a connected to Ecuador. In this case, it is considered the national tree of Ecuador, although unofficial. It is originally discovered by Quechua people, and was first used to cure malaria disease.

So you see, when I try to name the characters, I try to link the name to them with a little bit of twist. Indeed, I tried to go the easy way and name them after rose species but no, it just doesn't feel 'right' to me. I'm also planning to conjure up full name for Pefko and Luco, because they're part of the royal family, and Shion, too, for he is the supreme general of the kingdom's army.

Perhaps I should think up a full name for Minos too, considering I have him as the son of one of the very first vampires created, so his status is actually something like a vampire prince, but... nah...

SS Rant

Yes. I just have to publish my rant here too. Those who doesn't want to see it can close your eyes and skip over it.

==========================

Hello Saint Seiya fandom!

Let me ask you one question:

Do you like Saint Seiya: Meiou Shinwa or better known as Saint Seiya: the Lost Canvas?

You do? Well, I do, too.

I mean, duuuuudee.

Teshirogi sure can draw! And think of good plot-... nah who are we kidding. She's like, Queen of Angst! She loves drawing handsome men angsting over things like family, siblings, friends, etc

And there's the anime, where the characters are all moving in good color and graphic and awww we're all cheering for it because it's so promising and attracting new fans because of the goodness and we're all disappointed when it stopped airing for God knows why.

Yeah, yeah, SSLC is really good. I love it. You love it. We all love it.

But, DUUUUUUUUUDEEEE.

Saint Seiya Classic, Next Dimension, Episode G, and Omega don't lose to LC in terms of coolness, you know.

I mean, okay they have their own weaknesses like the manga version of Classic and ND is unappealing because it's drawn in the old generation manga style that Kurumada continues to use. Episode G is more or less the same. Omega is directed by an anime director who produced a successful battle maiden anime series.

BUT DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDEEEEE.

Stop it with OVERSHIPPING LC, won't you?

Like, there are those who think that it would be better if LC is redrawn by Teshirogi. Even though the idea is very attractive to me too, try to think about it.

Kurumada Masami was the one who gave birth to the series we came to love: Saint Seiya.

His brain gave birth to the idea of hot young men wearing shiny, heavy-looking armors that are based on constellations, relate Greek mythical stuffs with his own imagination, have those warriors fight evils, etc etc etc

WITHOUT him manifesting his ideas in the form of Saint Seiya, Teshirogi WILL NOT have ideas on making spin-off out of it. Neither does Okada.

SO.

Stop overshipping LC. Appreciate Classic more.

In fact, I think Japanese fans worship Classic more than they worship LC. Something about LC felt unoriginal because the characters basically are clones to the Classic ones. If I were to speak my opinion, it does give off that kind of vibe: LC is like a doujin... a fan manga of Saint Seiya.

Once again.

Stop overshipping LC. Appreciate Classic more. Give some love to ND and Episode G. Reduce the amount of 'boos' when it comes to Omega.

Each of them have their pluses and minuses.

If you say that you're a true fan of SS, then try to appreciate them and their respective creators, even if it's just a little bit.

SS Award: Laporan 1

Moshi-moshi, minna-tachi!

Yoooosh, udah lama nggak nulis di blog ini! Sori, ternyata ngelabil di tumblr asyik juga, ya, meskipun kadang-kadang penghuninya bikin sakit hati *tabokin para sourceless posters*

Oke, jadi, di posting kali ini ada pengumuman tentang rencana Cerulean Crown--gue dan partner-in-crime gue, Sisil--untuk membuat fanfic tentang ajang pemberian penghargaan! Kali ini fandom yang akan jadi korban penistaan kami berdua adalah Saint Seiya. Yep, another anime fandom. Buodo amat. Lagi maniak-maniaknya sih. Ini salah seri spin-off itu...

(Lho, jadi curhat?)

Ahem... karena kita berdua udah pengalaman bikin beginian, jadi intinya gampang disimpulkan.

• Chapter pertama adegan pembukaan... red carpet, most probably. Sekalian ngumpulin voting yang bakal digunakan untuk menentukan pemenang-pemenang di chapter 2.
• Chapter terakhir itu Best Character dan All-Time Achievement, dan yang terakhir itu pilihan kami mutlak.
• Kemudian ngumpulin pendapat apakah mau ada chapter bonus berisi party yang super kacau

Yang bikin pusing cuma:

1. Jumlah award yang mau disebutin.
   Di atas 10 seperti Reborn! Award? Mati aja kitaaaa :|
2. Sistem votingnya.
   Oke, memang voting biasanya dilakuin lewat review (atau kalau mau ganti vote, bisa ngePM kita), tapi mengingat jumlah penghuni fandom yang sedikit dan tidak meyakinkan kalau mayoritas otaknya sinkron sehingga kami khawatir akan menyebabkan beberapa karakter sekaligus meraih satu award yang sama.
   Apakah harus diberlakukan aturan 1 award untuk SATU pemenang saja, atau 1 award boleh berbagi untuk 2 orang atau lebih?
   Atau perlu dilakukan kuis semacam yang dilakuin elita-san di Hetalia Awards-nya? Reviewer yang paling pertama memberi jawaban benar maka jumlah votingnya akan dilipatgandakan?
   Lalu, apa perlu diberi batas waktu sehingga vote yang masuk setelah lewat deadline akan dinyatakan invalid?

Kurang lebih itu aja sih. Masalah alur, jatah host, keputusan akan menghancurkan imej karakter baik dengan membuat mereka OOC atau apa, dan lain-lain alhamdulillah sudah beres. Tinggal dua di atas aja yang belum kelar lantaran tadi kebanyakan ngobrol ngalur ngidul modem melabil dan rapat terpaksa diberhentikan.

(Oke, sebenernya kita juga agak galau apakah mau melakukan self-insert atau reader-insert, tapi itu nggak penting, 'sih.)

Sekian laporan dari rapat pertama ini. Sutradara Sherenia, off!
