Damianya Week Day 3: rival kingdoms AU (and monsters AU)

okay...it may be a little different than you'd expect but in my head rival kingdoms AU look like this Anya is a Chimera and Damian is a Gryphon. As much as they look like each other their families are feuding, but they fall in love and refuse to have a war between the kingdoms I really enjoy drawing monster AU, and I'd like to do it more often in the future, but it will all depend on your reaction of course :,D

what a happy family !

The new chapter (chapter 108) I noticed there is a difference on Anya's wording in Japanese about "bullying"

In this chapter, Anya use two different words to describe "bullying"; いじわる (ijiwaru) and いじめる (ijimeru). While it seems like it's the same, turns out these two words have a slightly different meaning.

I did some searchs, turns out the word いじわる (ijiwaru) means "mean", it's an expression that is suitable to describe for someone intentionally annoys, irritates or harshly treat them, but without malicious intent/result, and it tends to be a one-off occurrence.

Meanwhile the word いじめる(ijimeru) means literally "bullying", a malicious act of feeling superior to those weaker than oneself and getting satisfaction from the other person's sadness, and it's continuous.

I'm going to compare how Anya use the words here, I'm taking example from chapter 15.

In chapter 15,

いじめてくるからきらい (iji mete kuru kara kirai)

(he bullies/intimidate (me) so I hate (him))

This sentence is used for Anya to describe how she feels about Damian. It was reasonable, considering this was set really early in the story, right before they had the dodgeball game. Anya's didn't know about Damian's good nature yet and she still see him as a real bully.

However, in chapter 108

いじわるしてくるからきらい (iji waru shite kuru kara kirai)

I feel like the supposed closely correct translation is (he's being mean (to me) so I hate him).

Like I explained earlier, the word いじわる (ijiwaru) isn't as harmful as the word いじめる (ijimeru), and I feel like it's important to point out too because of the next scene..

じなんのははらすぼす(じなんのちち)にいじめられてる…？ (jinan no haha rasu bosu (jinan no chichi) ni ijimerareteru...?)

(second son's mother is being bullied by last boss (second son's father?))

Here, Anya use the word いじめる (ijimeru) when describing of what she thinks of how Melinda and Donovan's relationship be like.

Well, I'm loss at words. Let me know what you think lol (and feel free to correct me if you can speak or fluent about the Japanese language!)

still healing from arcane..
