Reno's Answering Machine @ask-reno - Tumblr Blog

Info or some shit ig [updated 4/23/'25 with new contact info and closing translations services for now]

Super casual rp blog for funsies, old af writer and mostly a journal rper so don't expect my tumblr skills to reflect anything fancy. Some OOC content/discussion when I feel like it.

Fair warning that Reno can be p obnoxious. Hit me up privately for more serious writing/rp but you mostly won't find that on this blog. Currently NOT remake compliant but happy to tag with remake versions of FFVII characters, AUs, duplicates, etc etc go crazy idc I'm not picky.

Also GIANT PSA: Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me via reply/ask/message either anon or de-anon. If you want to chat or rp without a public broadcast/reply that's totally fine, just let me know. I can actually type like a normal human on occasion and I don't bite... usually. (I mean I am a Reno rper what did you expect?)

I can’t stop laughing at this like why have they dressed him like that? Why did they choose that hair? He looks like an Eastenders character

This seemed too good to be true, so I fact-checked, and I'm happy to say it's a true story.

They're not called "worker bees" for nothing.

Once, there was a Japanese monk who had a little personal superstition.

Every time he travelled to a new location, he’d find some wood that grew there and make it into a staff to defend himself from any bandits or ne'er-do-wells who attacked him.

He was convinced that the staff, being more in tune with his surroundings, would serve him better in a fight. One day, he explained this to a scholarly friend, who decided to do some investigating.

The scholar started swapping the monk’s staves while he was asleep. Some days, the monk would be using a staff he thought was from where he was, but wasn’t; some days he’d believe it was from elsewhere, when in fact it was the correct staff for where he was; and some days belief and truth would match.

Interestingly, the scholar discovered that it was the monk's belief that mattered - whichever staff he was using, if he thought it matched his surroundings he’d do a little better, and if he thought it didn’t he’d do a little worse.

Of course, since then there have been many more rigorous studies, but that scholar’s treatise remains one of the most important works in shaping human understanding of the place-bo effect.

The monk couldn’t tell his staves apart? That seems unlikely to me. Like if I had my Mount Fuji staff and my Okinawa staff and my Sapporo staff and I was using all those staves on the regular to fight off bandits as I pilgrimaged from place to place, you can bet I would recognise each one of them from their heft alone.
