Herculaum

I had always heard that Japanese has simplified kanji, kind of like how Chinese has simplified characters. They are called shinjitai (新字体). When I traveled to Japan (knowing Chinese but not knowing any Japanese), I instantly began noticing shinjitai and comparing them to simplified characters.

It was fascinating how I was able to understand some shinjitai instantly, whereas others took more time to decode. Some are actually identical to simplified Chinese characters. Below are all the shinjitai I noticed on my trip. This has been in my drafts for ages...!

"Taking care of you"

saw this in tl and couldn't resist

change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot

this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)

you can set your likes and follows to private

checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing

follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric

drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally

DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!

tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7

^my previous tags BUT ALSO some more tag tips:

Idk if this is actually well know but using tags in your blog is super convenient for you and anyone browsing your blog to find specific posts!

In your blog you can click a tag in a post and it will take you to all the posts in your blog tagged with that tag.

You can also use the search bar to search the blog for any posts that has the word(s) in them

OR use the URL to find posts, for example: blog.tumblr.com/tagged/(thatonetag)

tfw you get divorced so hard it kickstarts the whole plot

In second place we have: Chengyao!

nothing like amicably co-parenting a child and then having a messy divorce right in front of said child

And in third place: Xiyao!

a divorce so harrowing you need to go into seclusion about it

That‘s a wrap, folks!

at this point special shoutout to xuexiao though, incredible effort there, xiyao beat y‘all by only 1%!! y‘all love pain huh

i‘m considering making a „who should‘ve gotten divorced“ poll based on the incredible suggestions by @sweetpollyolliver 👀 but we shall see
