The entry on mandoa.org for the adoption vow really is, honestly, fucking hilarious.

"Ni kyr'tayl gai sa'ad."

The website helpfully provides the translation: "I know your name as my child." Except... that's not what that quote means.

That's a typo.

The actual vow is:

"Ni kar'tayl gai sa'ad."

Kar'tayl comes from kar'taylir (and thus, since it's a verb, its use in the vow should actually be conjugated as "kar'tayli", rather than using the noun version, but I digress) which... broadly means "to know."

Specifically, though, it means "to hold in one's heart."

"I hold in my heart your name as my child."

Awww, so poetic, so romantic, isn't that lovely, isn't it just so sweet?... Oh, but what does the typo turn it into, you ask?

A little less sweet, I'm afraid. You see, the problem is that one letter. That one little oopsie-daisy. An "a" into a "y", what a silly little mix-up.

Unfortunately, the word "kyr" in Mando'a means "end." Typically in the most final of ways.

Yep, the very fatal mistake in changing the first word from "kar" (heart) to "kyr" (death) is that when combined with "taylir" (to hold, to keep, to preserve) it suddenly becomes rather more sinister. To know something in death.

"I hold in death your name as my child."

Which is an altogether different kind of vow, don't you think?

Working on the RocoEndo edits and noticed THAT THERE IS SOME INCONSISTENCE IN THEIR HEIGHT DIFFERENCE IN THE FORST PIC ROCOCO IS A BIT RALLER BUT AT THE END??? A GIANT????? DID HE TOOK THE LITTLE GIANTS NAME TOO SERIOUSLY AND GREW IN THE SPAN OF FEW DAYS???

LEVEL5 WHAT

This is pretty accurate

Nosaka: Hi! My name is Nosaka and this is my boyfriend, Asuto.

Asuto: *Smiles*

Nosaka: And this is Asuto’s other boyfriend, Haizaki.

Haizaki: *holds on tighter to Asuto*

I recently came out to my mother's side of the family who are majority conservative christians and it went much better than I expected. Like, they were weirdly supportive. I only got one comment insinuating that I might possibly be going to hell but it came from my aunt and she's dying soon anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway, I'm telling them how shocked I am and that I honestly thought that they'd have more of a problem with it when my grandma is like "Well you know we've been through this before with your uncle Nicky" and I'm like "what" and so it turns out that my uncle Nick was born a Natalie, came out as a boy at 19, and my great grandma proceeded to pay for his top surgery and hormone therapy. In 1974. And I just had to process for a bit because my entire life no one has referred to him as anything other than he/him and his chosen name. I ask why no one ever thought to mention this and they're just like "tbh we forgot. It's been so long that he's been a man" This man is married. He has a wife and three kids. I ask my relatives how they went about having kids, whether through adoption or sperm donor or what and none of them know. Apparently he just told everyone that they were gonna be parents and then one day showed up at my grandma's house with a baby. No questions were asked. Just. He and his wife had a baby now and that was that. Three times. Weeks later when I finally talk to my aunt Sarah (Nick's wife) all she tells me is that neither of them have ever been pregnant and, I quote, "sometimes you just come into children". She phrased it like people use the phrase "come into money". Like children are something that just happens to you. I ask my relatives if any of them had a problem with Nick being trans at the time, saying I'd understand if they had negative feelings about it, as it was the 1970s after all. They were like "nope" and i was just like "you didn't think anything of it?" And my grandfather was like "these things happen" while the other adults nodded sagely. So I guess the moral here is that if my conservative christian relatives could accept my uncle as trans in the 1970s then there really isn't any excuse for anyone. And also my family needs to ask more questions because I'm fairly sure my aunt and uncle stole their kids.

I'm laughing my ass off at that last sentence- But I'm so glad your coming out went well! That's one heck of a way to find out you have LGBT relatives.

Awesome

This is awesome 💝💗. It absolutely reflects the characters as both mature and playful!! It fits them so well!! Thank you!

Can you do a Kazemaru/Fubuki platonic please?? Your post with Kidou/Fudou and the others is awesome 🤩😍

Thanks!!🥺💜 I’m not really good with that brotp but I’ll try!

Who cheats at games:

Both but let me explain. When they are playing cards, Fubuki sometimes cheats just to be playful and because of it, Kazemaru "returns the response" cheating too.

Who borrows stuff and never returns it:

None. Kazemaru is too responsible and Fubuki...he may take longer in return it, after all, he lives quite far...but he'll do it eventually.

Who sends odd texts in the middle of the night:

Fubuki. Like as I said with Fudou, he loves to send memes. He knows Kazemaru's humor sense so if he sees a funny meme about it he would immediately send it to him.

GO Context: But if Kazemaru is kinda drunk, he would start to send Fubuki randoms facts about aliens or just talk with him about Aliens.

Who is more likely to get them into ridiculous situations:

Mhm, neither. 

Who makes it a habit of showing up at the other's house unannounced:

Mhm, none. I think they are the kind of friends that would send a message before appear out of nowhere.

Which one is the mom friend:

Kazemaru. In this house we stan "mom friend" Kazemaru. He's the one that stops Fubuki of be TOO honest with someone he shouldn't. 

Which one makes the other one sign up for those crazy food challenges:

Fubuki. He knows Kazemaru would join if he asks (and if the challenge isn't about to eat a big amount of food). I see them mostly joining the "Guess that food Challenge".

I really want to emphasize the slightly ridiculous timeline of Bruce taking in children and how funny this has the potential to be re:Dick being the eldest, because I think it's really important that people understand that Bruce basically only has Dick around for like...11-12 years. Dick formally moves out when he's around 19 or 20, and roughly six months to a year later, Bruce picks Jason up. Dick and Jason never live in the same house at the same time, and three years later, Jason dies. So he gets 2 kids over a 15 (ish) year period, which doesn't sound too ridiculous, right?

Except then his adoption tendencies accelerate, because he picks up Tim and Cass within 2 years of each other (and Steph came as a package deal with both of them) and then finds out about Damian 2-3 years after that. Then we've got Duke, who (when you vaguely fit together timelines) enters stage left about 2-3 years after Damian.

So after a 15-year period with two kids, Bruce manages to pick up 4 1/2 others (counting Steph) within the 7-8 years afterwards. The sheer missed comedic potential of Dick being a grown-ass adult and then his dad decides to adopt a pack of kids within 5 years of him moving out is incredible. Dick went from being essentially an only child for his entire life to being eldest of 6, only one of which he's ever actually lived in the same house with, all because Bruce got Empty Nest Syndrome and went "well I raised one child to adulthood successfully. What's another 5 or 6 at the same time?"
