"When You Feel Like Crying"

Do you ever have a day when you just want to cry? It could be for a million reasons or no reason at all. It’s just a day that you feel sad for everything or for nothing and I’m having one of those days. I’ve been trying to talk myself out of this mood all day but I’ve decided to let it have its day and have its way. It was taking too much energy to try and push myself out of it so I decided to…

Since i sort of brought them up while talking about soul society stuff, let's take a look at this weird thing going on with two chinese(?) looking dudes...

The first time this trope pops up in Bleach is when we meet Kukaku and she has these two goofy, buff manservants, Koganehiko[金彦] and Shiroganehiko[銀彦], "Gold Boy" and "Silver Boy."

They are clearly based on the characters, Jīn jiǎo dàwáng[金角大王] and Yín Jiǎo Dàwáng[銀角大王], the "Gold & Silver Horn Great Kings" from the Journey West. (in Japanese Ginkaku and Kinkaku Dai-Ou)

But when we see Kirinji's mansion in the Royal Realm he has a similarly weird duo of vaguely stereotypically chinese looking buff dudes, Kazuo[数男] and Kazuhiro[数比呂], differentiated only by their differing glasses shapes(one round, one square) and reading as "Numbers Man" and "Numbers Equal(to) Spine."

I'll be honest I have no idea what to make of these names, in particular because I don't think either of those are common ways to write them, so they must have been deliberately chosen as also indicated by the shared character ka[数]: "number(s)"... But I can't tell what Kubo was getting at. They look vaguely bookish with the glasses? Almost like cliche Japanese salarymen? Are they accountants, hence "numbers"?? No clue.

Honestly... I went into this with just the toe hold of a few small factoids, expecting to be able to find my way along to something more substantial as i went... but now that I take a closer look at Kazuo and Kazuhiko's names, they don't quite fit the Gold & Silver theme in any obvious way, yet they do still feel a little too reminiscent of Kukaku's duo to just ignore...

Possible hint in The Journey West, is that the Silver and Gold kings are in charge of a divine furnace belonging to a higher celestial authority, and similarly both pairs of men in Bleach seem to be the laborers of a heaven associated boss(Kuukaku via her name, and Kirinji via the Royal Realm) who implicitly uses a furnace.(Kuukaku for her canon, and Kirinji for his hotbaths.)

And although it's a dead end, of Kirinji's two named hotsprings, Chinoike Jigoku[血の池地獄]: "Blood Pond Hell" is named after a real hotsprings in Beppu where the water is a natural red color. It is a popular tourist attraction and all the associated facilities like spa and restaurant and various merchandise are distinctly oni themed. Which you might think would suggest Kazuo and Kazuhiro should have something like an oni theme, maybe red and blue onis... yet that doesnt seem to be the case...

I'm less certain about the origin of Hakkotsu Jigoku[白骨地獄]: "White Bone Hell" because of how generic the name is, but it could be a reference to the "White Bone Spirit," Báigǔjīng[白骨精] which is also from the Journey to the West. But I don't know that that character really relates at all to Kirinji's healing hotsprings, or even back to the Gold and Silver duo even within the context of the Jounrye West, so it may just be a total coincidence...

sorry this rant is much shorter and less conclusive than most...

We've had a wild ride past week.

We got some really bad news in which the army told my husband that they had a policy change. A job that he was made to do as an E6 was as of now an E7 job so the entire 4 years of us living in Savannah didn't count and he'd have to repeat it if he wanted to be promoted to E8. And there was no being grandfathered in. You could imagine this would be extra frustrating because he has 2 years left. In the army in order to retire with your rank you have to have worked as that rank for 2 years. So if he'd gotten promoted he would have had his final 2 years and would retire with that rank. Now they're saying he doesn't qualify, needs to repeat a job over and it'd take another 2 years to meet the new requirement and then if he wanted to retire with that rank he'd have to stay another 2 years. So he's very very disappointed.

He's been calling around to see if its 100% true because he has lots of solider buddies who this affects as well.

and then lord, I felt absolutely horrible the other day. Think maybe it was weather related. First I've had a multiday headache. It was finally deciding to let up yesterday but its still present behind my eyeball. But its been rainy/thunderstormy which would be kinda relaxing other than I could absolutely not breath outside. Felt like a weight on my chest just trying to get the dog out to potty. I was nauseous, my head hurt, my chest hurt...probably some of that was my inner ear but I couldn't localize where all the discomfort was coming from. But I'm pretty sure it was all allergens and humidity. I couldn't leave the house. Spent the day in a hotbath because it was the only place I could breathe. But I feel better today and going to go to the gym.

in the meantime some of my amazon prime day (of which I purchased nothing from amazon) came in. The little statue usually retails for 90% and it was on sale for 45$ (50 after taxes) and then I needed to get some replacement paint. Well the magenta was replacement. The quidacradone watercolor is new because I've been on a perfectpink/red search. And then I've also been obsessed with stationary pens and got this sailor inks.
