Danbooru

As others have said, this kind of thing is basically a Japanese version of creepypasta similar to SCP.

For those asking for stuff that's like this, Otherside Picnic is a good example. In fact, the opening sequence involves going to the Otherside via a specific combination of button presses on an elevator, where one has to avoid looking at the not-face of the not-people one sees when the elevator door opens or they'll attack.

Basically, the setting of this alternate dimension with hostile alien geometry in a familiar location like an apartment complex is the standard boilerplate trope of what is effectively a modernized version of the haunted house concept, and the twist is that Racoon is too oblivious to recognize what a ghost is, so she's not afraid of the haunted house.

@Everest1234 Please tag the character. Especially when the name is right on the image. If you don't know how to create a new tag, see howto:tag for any help you might need. Don't just leave things blank if you don't understand something, read the wikis, it's what they're there for.

@sks88041 Thank you for trying to share, but we prefer that you not upload hard-translated versions of things originally in other languages to Danbooru. Upload the originals and either add the translation_request tag or else add the soft translation notes yourself (hit the "n" key and drag rectangles) with a comment on where the translation came from. Soft translated notes allow other users with knowledge of the language to correct problematic grammar.

That doesn't change the fact that uploading entire doujins is technically discouraged, at least according to the ToS.

The problem that is meant to head off is more that of trying to become ehentai or having pixiv artists get even more pissed off at Danbooru for effectively distributing for-money works for free. This is already a series heavily followed on Danbooru, so posting the previews then telling people to go running off to a different site to get the continuation is kind of silly, and there's no real harm to the artist if they're already giving it away for free.

Tiniest Eternatus. But to be fair, in Sw/Sh, the sprites oftentimes do not match the Pokedex entries.

The scale of a lot of pokemon in the Pokedex already are nonsense. Pikachu, for instance, is routinely shown as being half the height of most characters, while in the pokedex, it's supposed to be about one foot tall (and I seem to recall it being listed as smaller in Gen 1, before the anime). That's before we go with all the "I can have my wailord follow me into the pokemart through the sliding glass doors out front" or insect-sized pokemon being presented as less than an order of magnitude smaller than said wailord in-game.

The series rightly ignores the Pokedex's gibberish routinely, since most of it defies all logic or has horrific fridge logic implications.

I think it's worth noting that Ikazuchi and Inazuma are the "bleeding heart" shipgirls simply because they were willing to take on survivors from enemy ships. You know, that thing that literally every other navy in the world - even the Nazis - did as a matter of course? Yeah, that's what makes them the "nice ones" in the IJN. The IJN routinely pulled this shit.

Comparatively, the "cute sheet stunt" that Yuudachi is known for where she faked surrender to be able to get close to USN ships and open fire made the US admiral at the time give the order for "No Quarter" in response, meaning USN ships had authorization to ignore surrenders unless the people involved personally felt it was safe and they were otherwise inclined to risk accepting surrender from a group that used surrender as a means of getting sneak attacks off.

What's the story behind that?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Battle_of_Guadalcanal#Second_Naval_Battle_of_Guadalcanal,_14%E2%80%9315_November

The big battle that featured these two was the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, where the IJN Kirishima was sunk. The most notable feature was that SoDak had an extremely ill-timed electrical failure and Washington held off firing upon Kirishima out of fear that it might be the SoDak. After SoDak was struck repeatedly by Japanese shelling and illuminated, Washington figured it out and destroyed Kirishima and routed the Japanese force fairly quickly.

As for why there would be "differences"... I'm not sure, outside "failure to coordinate well", you'd have to ask K9 that.

Please reference the Lucky Bag in the Adult 6th DesDiv series.

Actually-A-Lady Akatsuki would likely refuse because she already owns a pair, and Ikazuchi would probably think underwear like this is pretty tame compared to her crotchless pair. It wouldn't fit Inazuma, and there'd be a 50/50 chance of her buying something crazier because "it's the only thing that fits", or using the same logic, owns something stupid-looking but is sexy anyway because "I have giant tits, your argument is invalid". Hibiki would just be buying herself underwear at a discount.

Imagining the Lucky bag in Adult Des Div shenanigans.

If Hibiki tried to pull something out like lacy black underwear to make Actual Lady Akatsuki flustered, Akatsuki would respond she already has two pair like that, and so does no-longer-loli Okaan. It'd be unclear for Inazuma, but since it would make a better joke, she probably has side ties more extreme (or "the only bra that fits me looks like THIS") so that Hibiki could feel like she's the odd one out who isn't competing on the sexy front.

I thought the name was silly at first but then I realized that there are probably loads of places in the US simply called "Chinese Food" or something along that vein.

Actually, it's more that every East Asian food joint over here has some variation of "best"/"one"/"gold" in the name.

A selection of Chinese restaurant names near my house:
No 1 Restaurant
First Wok
Blue Ribbon Chinese
Gold Bowl
Golden China Chinese and Japanese Restaurant
Top's China Restaurant
Top's China (yes, it's different only in whether the name includes "restaurant")
China King
Bamboo One

As a "6th Des Div are my Daughteru" kind of guy, I have to say that I still can't see Inazuma as anything but an angel no matter how much of a bust she develops, but the "no-really-she-IS-a-first-class-lady-now" makes a good case for being seen as a woman.

Bug spray is an inadequate way of expressing yourself when dealing with pests. It's not enough to kill them. They have to know how you feel as you do so.

Most bug spray works by clogging the pores they use to breathe and slowly choking them to death. I'm sure a slow, agonizing death as they panic to try to escape a death they cannot understand expresses your contempt for their existence better than a quick roasting.

Well, the Center Force was getting bodied by a few destroyer escorts, so that's not much of a brag.

The miracle of the Battle Off Samar is that the destroyer escorts lasted as long as they did. What few ships the Japanese side lost were mostly due to aircraft from the carriers they were protecting, and possibly a lucky shot from a carrier itself mingling with just how much of a risk oxygen torpedoes carried especially when put on cruisers coming back to bite the IJN. The best the DEs could claim was that they turned back blatantly superior forces. (And you know, that's quite a claim, regardless. Giving the carriers and land bases the time they needed to rearm the planes to actually threaten a naval force that powerful was the best they could possibly accomplish. Just don't oversell it.) IIRC, they didn't hit with a single torpedo and a DE's pea shooters were practically meaningless against anything larger than a DD, especially as they were being pummeled from well out of range.

For that matter, as much as it's seen as a humiliating defeat that the IJN retreated, Kurita had little way of knowing he'd accidentally lucked out with Bull Halsey's charge and that there wasn't going to be a Task Force 34 (which even slightly better coordination between Halsey and Pacific Command would have sent his way) that would suddenly flank him, cut off his means of escape, and ultimately destroy the bulk of the remaining capacity the IJN had to resist the USN's advance.

I get more of an impression that they lured her out with sweet potatoes, and she doesn't realize they're the enemies, yet...

I'm not sure of what's happening; but would point out that for non-Japanese readers [ which certainly in no way only equates to European speakers ] there's no point in following or buying these works from Japan.

I accept the artists may not care about this and just want to make sure world readers are not exploiting them *; but conversely, this is going to happen one way or another.

  • Although not liking pictures with the tag 'blood' any more than incidents in real life, I like Ido a lot. He somewhat exploits non-Japanese world nationalities himself. More power to him !

Well, maybe they wouldn't care about a hard-translated work, but since these are soft translated, a Japanese speaker can read these for free instead of paying for the work, although very few are likely to care about Danbooru.

It's one of those weird things in games like this - if healing items are food, often magic-recovering items are candy you can suck down by the truckful without the wispy mage gaining a pound.

Likewise, if the game supports affection systems with gifts, and they like frying pans, you can give them 800 frying pans, and they're just as happy about the 800th as the 1st. (What, are they burning the pans for fuel or something?! How can they store, much less USE that many?)

At least in games based upon Harvest Moon, they'll have a limit of one cake per day, but even then, it's weird that they don't want any gift, or ask about ulterior motives to you delivering exactly one piece of produce or cooking to every single villager up until they hit 10 hearts.

Is there a tag for the blue lights? (IIRC car lights refracting in the camera lens)

I'm pretty sure it's just a type of lens flare

There's also "Why did she wait until ALL her clothes were dirty before washing them?", "She doesn't even have some old clothes in the back of the closet she doesn't normally wear anymore?", "Why not just wear some still-damp clothing, and let body heat dry them?" or "Why not just go out and buy a t-shirt to wear for today?"
