aren't they traumatized after the filming? i mean, if the kid who played the main character in "home alone (1990)" (family friendly) later turned into an alcoholic, just because he turned famous from young age, what did the kids from "lord of the flies" felt?

1. memorize hiragana and katakana

2. search kanji meant for elementary schoolers (also just overall language content meant for children, it's easier to understand if you're a beginner). write them down in a notebook; watch out on the stroke order, usually websites like kanjisearch provide the correct order of strokes for easier writing.

3. learn basic grammar, like suffixes and sentence-building. treat all the three alphabets like toy cube blocks. the word order directly affects the meaning, so don't be shy to paste the sentence you wrote into translator to spot mistakes.

4. websites and other extensions

browser japanese keyboard

microsoft ime (in case you want to type in japanese directly on the computer)

site with handwritten kanji search

reddit tutorial for setting up a japanese dictionary extension right into browser

yomiwa (smartphone app , dictionary with random kanji everyday)

みんなの日本語 (minna no nihongo) nice notebooks for learners

various youtube videos about the grammar.

personal tip: when learning kanji, remember that these are words. you know, when in english we create words out of letters, the chinese crafted words out of stroke combinations (which the japanese later stole). so please tie your own association of meaning to each one, would be much easier to memorize them.

but the shape is indeed ridiculous. watch me fight with my phone camera to capture the drawing.

💢💢💢 this clay is so beautiful and glossy, i can't be mad at it.

i've drew bugbo & thomas genderbent before. i think genderbent would work if you turn the whole cast into humans first. if they remain cartoony bugs and stuff, nothing would change when some of them turn into girls. or maybe that's just how i view gender. nothing in it matters really. reverse the genders and they will remain the same characters but w different anatomy.

although, if bugbo gets blurry eyes like all the canonical female bugs...? sounds more & more interesting as i ramble. quentin mayor as an old scrankly granny in the government? stone merchant as another scrankly granny but like 600 years old and kami? inepta witch? tomboy gradient joe in a skirt ohhhhgod

i actually thought about it. it doesn't seem to captivate me as an aesthetic (i barely receive any aesthetic pleasure from seeing grey machines and dusty cables), but it's interesting as a concept.

here's an example. i was playing a game called disillusion st, and the plot happens in naraka, a place where souls reside before getting reborn again. it's very buddhist. but there seems to be a problem within naraka, an industrial rusty city which citizens are machines and mannequins. i didn't quite understand the problem, but i suppose the city is growing through naraka like mold and the soulless is outgrowing the population of actual souls. they also use intestines of a dead angel's body to power the tech in the city, which is why it is cursed and claimed unholy. the mannequins are programmed to bow and pray, but they are just objects rather than creatures. there is a character, a woman who only reads minds and doesn't have a mind on her own, she was sent to this city because the citizens around her don't have a mind to read as well. this part of the game is a metaphorって.思う.
