#tarutaru

Indecent....

"O-ho-ho-ho!" If you hear that laugh, it's already too late. 🟡✨

Everyone treats Shantotto like a cute mascot, but Final Fantasy 11 veterans know the truth: she is a terrifying force of overwhelming intellect and absolute magical dominance.

For her entry in the Monochrome Series, I used a low-angle perspective so you are forced to look up at her. The heavy, swirling textures beneath her feet represent reality literally bending under the weight of her power. The gold accents aren't just for show—they represent her calculated, theatrical cruelty. She doesn't struggle for dominance. She assumes it.

You may have realized by now that tarutarus have different style names depending on the gender of the child being named.

Women get repetition of the same syllable within the name as a whole. Examples: Kupipi, Shantotto, Apururu, Cherukiki.

Men get repetition of the whole name with a change to the beginning of the name. Examples: Yoran-Oran, Koru-Moru, Ajido-Marujido, Robel-Akbel.

So, Kupa-Trupa would be the man counterpart to Kupipi, and Arutotto would be the woman counterpart to Artoo-detoo. This also means that other pop culture words, like Flip-Flop and Wingding, count as taru man names. And you may have realized by now that words like Panini and Labubu count as taru woman names.

Say cheese!
