Nice!
I wish I could have joined. I was out of town and for some reason my IP was banned where I was. I'll make it up on Valentine's Day or White Day I guess!
sad i could't join on 2023, but joined in 2022 and 2024 :3

food is a luxury for NEETs, plz understand (;´Д`)
I get fed a few times a week...
tenkyuu yakuruto-san! ( ´ω`)
>>129240I didn't really like any of the designs in her games, but if I had to choose the best one it would be hers. Then again, ZUN got really lazy with his designs lately. In TH18 he gave us: Nitori... but green! And Aya... but blue! Come on
>>129368I think they are getting lazier each time too.But arent kappas and yamawaro related as 河童 and 山童? might make sense why they are similar.And about the recolored Aya 「射命丸」 and 「飯綱丸」 both share 「丸」.But blue is 「飯綱」 which is an owner of a kudagitsune.And Tsukasa is a kudagitsune and Iizunamaru uses Tsukasa fulfilling her name.Tsukasa herself whether:*「典」as a set of rules in her contract or*「使さ」as the personification of being used and serving others or*「司」as the personification that she in fact is served by othersFoxes are clever and they rarely truly help anyoneTsukasa is a sexy fox that wears transparent window courtain clothesShe gets on your arm around 20-30cm in length and hides in your sleves to whisper you adviceI would gladly infest my house, soul and body with a life sucking deceptive fox that promises me big things in a sweet voiceI imagine Chimata as personification of a patchwork of people, groups and interests tied together in the one big market under the sky that gods made that is all encompassing, pure and eternal which is considered the image of pure natureI never remember which of yin-yang is the one that settled down and made earth that is impure, full of suffering, sadness and cruelty and which rose to be pure, eternal, peaceful and full of ease「楽」and I'm sure it refers to the nature of Chimata.Also note that the moon is seen as a pure place. The sky place where you don't age and face no sin (besides meeting a sacrificial rabbit immortalized in it). "Lunar market".But her name uses the sky and heaven character but it means simply nature in this context (like 「天敵」 meaning natural enemy in food chains and not heavenly).Sky and nature because market is a natural principle like any natural phenomena and it always develops.She bridges all nations and all individuals under her cape of infinite and eternal sky to which she is related in name with 「天弓」 as rainbow.In japanese all colors of rainbow symbolize a perfect spectrum which could refer to all peopleAnd using this name for a rainbow is chinese and note that rainbows connect places since they have two ends and look like bridges you can find in asia in the chinese cultural sphere.Chimata 「千亦」as a thousand of repeats probably refers to how a market always develops no matter how many times it is regulated out of existence and not a thousand of mankos「股」More commonly used sounds written 「巷」mean the street, the public, the place where people gossip, gather and trade.I like it. And her two hands one up and one down probablyh refers to price/demand always in fluctuation.
>>129394Reminds me of old lore threads on 4chan /jp/, where anons would also analyze new characters in minute details
>>129394Ran is still a better kitsune
>>129449Well, she wins when it comes the bust size, but surely there has to be more to it? What makes someone the best fox anyway? Tail fluffiness? Ran has more tails than Tsukasa, sure, but maybe Tsukasa's sole tail is fluffier?
>>129486Ran is an oldbie fox with all 9 tailsTsukasa as a newbie fox with only 1 tailAnd she has a cat and tsukasa has no cats
>>129394that's kewl!thank you for the insight, wise master (´ー`)

>>129577Cute! I wish kitsune youkai were real
>>129394When I think about it I believe I can make more guesses but I am not sure of how well I guess.*「典」as a set of rules in her contract or*「使さ」as the personification of being used and serving others or*「司」as the personification that she in fact is served by others「典」- I meant a set of rules. Because it feels more like a grand book, a codex.While in latin you have a libre, you have very serious books like a caudex or a codex that sets something as true. First laws that were true were the natural laws but humans also made them up in justice system and this is where they were written. The bible meaning the book of books in a coloquial sense, codex also means rules in a coloqual sense. But codexes used to explain them at least and reasons for such rules. Tsukasa simply made a contract, that also plays into the theme of the game of a natural anarchist market where only laws of nature apply, where you can sell and buy anything.「使さ」As a giver of service. The thing that a servant does.「司」As a receiver of service. The thing that a leader does.This plays into the fox nature.And Tsukasa is also a cute common name.>I imagine Chimata as...「千亦」meaning a thousand repeats feels more like it is not used specifically for the amount of "redos" but eras and ages I think. If they meant simply infinite times ZUN probably would pick hyakuman or man but he picked a thousand. Thousand is used more typically in time measuring meaning very long. 「千代に八千代に」"For a thousand of epochs, for eight thousands of epochs" and by epoch I mean the reign of a monarch or whomever who makes history as a pole to which all events and individuals bend. I think it might hold a special place as a time counter instead of a thing counter. A thousand of generations is quite long. Though this is subjective. (Mihama) Chiyo "thousand of generations". Tiny puny name is so sweet sounding and cute. If feels very optimal for a solid name. I wish I could name someone this well, it keeps a high spirit to be named well rather than some random gibberish.>But her name uses the sky and heaven character but it means simply natureIt is very cute that the common belief is that heaven is nature and sacred in its perfection.Emergence of markets is as natural as development of writing record or tools.It must come from the perfect half of existence! The seedling of perfection on earth sprouts through the natural order!Yin is feminine, yin is the moon, yin is dark, yin is cold and dead.The dot in yin is the moon that travels the night sky!It is the seedling of purity and perfection!Nobody ages on the moon, no harm is in the moon, land of pure nature and perfection.Far away, always reminding there is hope in uncertain times and the hope does not fear.Cat is boring but good looking. General lucky cat characteristics.And the yamawaro is boring.And Iizunamaru is boring.And the smoking lady is boring.Momoyo "hundred of hundreds of epochs" is the same deal as Chimata. Momoyo is cool.She has her own legend of coiling a mountain 7 and a half times!A big insect to be feared. Also probably refering to the 100 legs of a centipede."The princess of insects" with insects written as a swarm. Big swarm.I liked the th18 extra. It was quite fun.
