Shipping figaro with faust is basically like shipping god with jesus except jesus failed and turned bitter and god also failed but is too awkward to talk with jesus about it. No i still have not read the bible. Send post.

#I never understood where figafau shippers came from but after reading ms2...yeah i see it #They keep giving faust men he will never get over. Lennox. Alec. Figaro. How much more will this guy get haunted by past relationships.#figaro garcia #faust lavinia #figafau #The way prince vincent treated faust in ms2 also reminded me of how there are entire churches in central country dedicated to faust....#Faust really is just wizard jesus isn't he #mahoyaku

My wishlist for enstars !!! Era that most definitely will not happen whatsoever

Tsukasa is actually drawn fat as he is described in stories (this is the furthest reach they would never)

Arashi gets to finally wear a skirt like she’s wanted to SINCE THE FIRST GAME

Tatsumi is drawn with his cane when he’s not preforming AS WRITTEN IN THE STORIES. YET AGAIN. THEY JUST CONVENIENTLY LEAVE IT OUT OF ARTWORK

And probably more

#Will we ever get to address the tsukasa binges when stressed disordered eating behaviour #Or the sena naru both constantly watching their weight also disordered eating behaviour #What. Happened with makoto's dad. We got extensive details about subahokke's parents but they just dropped #“Oh yeah makoto's dad was in jail the whole time and that's why he only grew up with his mom”#And then never explained anything beyond that #Will we ever get more details on adonis country of origin or will it be just “random middle east country in war”#Because as you know all middle east countries are one and the same culture and they are all in war /sarcasm #IBUKI TAKI MY BABY IF THEY EVER MISTREAT YOU #We know the racism stuff wasn't handled well with adonis and it wasn't handled well with the amagi brothers #And after finding out about ibuki. I fear for him.#Enstars should stop being like “I'm gonna pick a random ethnic minority and write quirky stuff about them”#It never ends well #I WOULD DO UNSPEAKABLE STUFF TO GET ADONIS PUT IN PROPER MIDDLE EASTERN CLOTHES #IF ONLY THE WRITERS ACTUALLY KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT MIDDLE EASTERN CULTURES

There’s nothing inherently “scary” about someone talking to themself in public.

There’s nothing “scary” about someone rocking back and forth in public.

There’s nothing “scary” about someone pacing back and forth in public.

Some of y’all are just ableist.

#My sibling rocks back and forth unkowingly and a lot of people find this creepy #So i just started explaining to people “oh this is just their version of bouncing their leg. It's just. Their whole body”#And then sonething just clicks. all fear disappears. Suddenly my sibling is no longer a freak

Still thinking about the time i had to go to the doctor because of really bad panic attacks (passing out in classes) and all she had to say was "well how do you expect to get through college when it's this bad?"

Idk man, you tell me, you're the doctor here _(:3」∠)_

#I wish people would stop saying “just go to therapy” knowing damn well that 1) it's really hard to get it #And 2) there's no guarantee it'll be good if you do get it #If i survived high school then i'll survive college too dammit

Great. Now i wanna do it too

This is more like "what country would i personally isekai them to". Here are the stereotypes i kept in mind

North: competition and hierarchy based on power

West: silly and artistic

Central: revolutionary + leadership skills + also hierarchy

East: calm, keeps stuff together by operating from behind the scenes

South: strength in community

@clockworkspider i'm pretty sure it's the fans reflecting the different narratives?

I mean most of mhyk is like

Voice of tired, centuries old wizard, constantly going on life-threatning missions, tasked with saving the world every year from eldritch horrors: "Everything this person does goes against my fundamental beliefs of how the world should work and against all my morals in general. In spite of this, i shall compromise. I must be kind and open-minded. Everyone is different for a reason."

And most of enstars is

Voice of a pretty idol, adorned with ridiculous outfits, who majors in singing songs and being silly for the world to see: "I will explode everything with bombs if things don't go my way. I will hold grudges for an eternity if anyone does anything to me and people i love. Competition is everything in this cruel, merciless world"

#WHY WOULD YOU- THE AOI TWINS??? UP NORTH???#YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO SNOW AND WHITE. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO HINATA AND YUUTA TOO. DO YOU *WANT* ANOTHER TRAGEDY #enstars #mhyk #Do not have the tiermaker so i improvised

Where did you find the full tl for Ibuki? Not doubting you (HappyEle is notorious for mishandling minorities), but I've only been able to find bits and pieces for the new characters

The tl I read for Ibuki wasn't his idol story (I don't think that's been fully tled yet), it was his profile, sorry for the confusion! I should have worded that better 🙏

MireiArchive had this rough tl for his profile, which matches up with the machine tl of "Born in Okinawa, and raised in America" (though you should always take machine tls with several handfuls of salt, I believe this one is accurate, as it matches up with the info provided by other translators).

They also provided a rough overview of his idol story, during which the incidents that are being talked about take place.

We know this part of the rough overview of the story is accurate due to being confirmed by several sources (the jp and eng fandoms are talking about it quite a bit).

These parts specifically are the ones where he claims to experience discrimination due to being Okinawan or American (any foreigners face potential discrimination due to a homogeneous society), though his current nationality is Japanese. The first two kanji after the question mark in the first screenshot is the word for "Okinawa" (I'd screen record this part, but unfortunately my phone's audio quality is abysmal 🙃).

Getting a bit into Okinawa's history, the Ryukyuan people are native to the Ryukyu Islands (part of which make up modern-day Okinawa), and they were annexed by the Empire of Japan during the Meiji Era. As Japan did with other ethnic groups, such as the Ainu, the vast majority of the Ryukyuan people were stripped of their culture and forced to assimilate. During WWII, after America invaded Okinawa, the US occupied them for several decades, and there are still US military bases there that are a topic of strong debate, due to their environmental, cultural, and political impacts. Ibuki's family likely has ties to America due to these past events (many Ryukyuans have immigrated to Hawaii in particular, due to it being a straight shot across the Pacific, something which started in the early 1900s).

After WWII, Ryukyuans supported Japan more strongly due to increased resentment towards Americans, causing a further decline of people who spoke Ryukyuan languages (the vast majority speak standard Japanese, like Ibuki) and other aspects of their culture. Ryukyuans are now mostly split between the Okinawa and Kagoshima prefectures. "Okinawan" as a term has become one meant specifically to refer to the Ryukyuans (Wikipedia and other places have great sources for further info on these topics), which Ibuki is.

Therefore, we come to the current discussion around Ibuki's identity and what that means for his writing going forward.

(Tweet from mika_enstars discussing it, a well-known livetweeter and translator)

Overall, I'm hoping Akira has learned his lesson from the Amagis (and Adonis, while we're at it) and that the poor writing choices will be few and far between this time around, discounting this story, though of course I won't exactly be holding my breath. We'll have to wait and see until more stories drop, but yeah, that's the gist of the situation!

#Man...adonis...the amagis...and now ibuki....#Akira i appreciate that you want to write about racial minorities but. God. You can do better than this #Anyways thanks for the info! I immediately took a liking to ibuki because of the “nyahaha”#But i would not have known that the xenophobia part in his INTRODUCTION of all things is so...grating....#ibuki taki
