No! Actually! I doubt that expression works here...O.o;
I was just reading up on twins...in mythology...and I just read this thing on wiki that says:
"To the Dogon of Mali in West Africa, twinship represents completeness and perfection, symbolized by the deity Nummo. Nummo is actually a set of twins, male and female, and because the creation of the world required a sacrifice, humans can only be one half of the whole, male or female."
Holy crap! *.* That...that would mean...woah...I wonder what a whole person looks like...*.*
That would explain...nothing...*cough* Well, something...but I don't know what it is. But it makes sense.
And by making sense...well, I think of religion as just stories. I'm the kind of person who tries to think of how the story will end or how it will get to certain points and why. So when religion makes sense to me...it just makes sense as a progression to the story or something...y'know...y'know...O.o;
Well, I was researching about twins in mythology because I was trying to figure out what you'd call it when if one twin gets hurt then the other twin will get the same injuries or something...O.o; Maybe it doesn't even have a name...
I want to write a story...or...something...oriental...And I can't decide how I should make the main character. This may be spoilers, but it's more like what starts the story.
The main character is...disowned by his father, who is the emperor, but his sibling is still in the position to gain the crown. But this sibling has been cursed by a demon (or something like that...they're sick and is becoming a demon) so they send the main character to discretely take their sibling to a place to be cured...not exactly sure why this would happen though. It depends on what kind of sibling this is. Is it his identical twin brother, his twin sister, or his younger sister (with a longer backstory to it)?
The twin thing can be easy because in this civilization twins are look as good and evil. A twin in this society is like a split person (like that thing above, but I thought of this before...so pooh! XD) so there is a very good twin and a very bad twin, and once it's decided who is the good twin and who is the bad twin then the bad twin is put to death (obviously there is no bad twin, this is a crazy society we're talking about). However, in this case the Empress loves both of her children and doesn't want her son to be put to death so they create a new life for him where he is a knight or something so they can still keep their eye on him and pretend like he isn't theirs at the same time.
It's either that or this strange love story between the Emperor and this shrine maiden/miko where the girl is murdered by the Emperor and the son is disowned because of shame, but then for some reason the Empress likes this son (most likely because he seems like his father). This one would explain the personalities and appearances of the characters...BUUT it doesn't have the spice of the twins.
I like twins...I think they're fascinating! *.*
But this is just a minuscule part of the big story which is about war and demons 'n stuffs.
I worry it's too much like Moribito and Otogizoushi...I think that's also the reason why I want there to be twins...I just don't know...>3>
I have a BUNCH of projects left unfinished...>3>
BUT! I've finished the sleeves for my Piko costume! >:D Now all I need to do are the boots and the details! It'll be scary...but I have confidence!
But on top of that I have to work on my concentration for art class and make my friend birthday presents (which, I don't even know if I'm going to her birthday party since I've forgotten to tell my parents and I don't even know when or where it is....>3> I'll call her tomorrow..."orz)...they'll just be pictures...'cause I'm cheap...>3> I don't even know what to draw for her...but I have confidence she'll like any 'emo-ish' kind of picture I draw for her....or 'rock-ish'....'cause she's that kind of girl...not saying she has a flat personality, not at all, but her likes are pretty predictable for her age. She likes stereotypical things, like romantic boys (like her boyfriend, which is why I heavily support them as a couple, they're adorable!), jewelry, flowers, emo stuffs, hair over the eye, stuff from hot topic, etc.
Why is it that so many teens these days like that kind of stuff? It's either Hot Topic or Ambercrombie or some other brand...>3>
Oh, excuse me, not these days, all teens have always been like this! WHY!? Why, when they try to be non-conformists, conform the most!?
I'm unconsciously non-conformist...in fact, I WANT to conform...but I can't...why you might ask? I have no clue...I think my mom has something to do with it...she was a non-conformist when she was a teen...apparently a 'hipster'...so now I unconsciously have the same feelings! TT^TT
Oh! And more otogi zoushi talk! I watched a bunch of episodes tonight~! ^ ^ In the episodes I watched I saw the budding romance between Raikou/Hikaru and the lovely Mansairaku:
Yesss! A lovely pairing! <333 Good job Otogi Zoushi! >:D I wanna watch the movies after I finish the series...*.*
The first time I saw Mansairaku I was like 'gooooshhhh he's beautiful!' and then this happens and...yesss...just yesss...>:D
Better picture of Mansairaku:
I like listening to the voice acting in Otogi Zoushi, too. Raikou's (Hikaru's brother, not Hikaru) voice actor was AMAZING! *.* He sounded EXACTLY like a person who's very congested! HOW DID HE DO IT!?
I like listening to their voices, too, and their japanese.
I watched some anime...or started to watch (I'll get to it later, I'm in a samurai mood) this anime and they had Chinese in it...and just...why are Japanese so bad at languages!? TT^TT At least get a Chinese speaker. Though, I do think they used it for the minor guy...but the main character...come onnn...just switch voice actors, nobody'd notice! He spoke it like he was slowly reading the lines and trying to pronounce it...O.o;
Weeooeeee Aaaaiiiiii Nnniiii....Ermm...not that he said Wo ai ni, but I just like that sentence.
'Wo ai ni'...is what I need to hear Mansairaku say to Hikaru! 
Wo ai ni means I love you...in case you're wondering...O.o; Pretteh basic, ai, the verb which means to love, wo, the pronoun which means I and ni which is also a pronoun which means you.
Wo bu xi huan ni! (I don't like you) This is what I hear the kids in my class say all the time...and then they say Wo xi huan ni! (I like you) or Wo bu hao (I am not good) or Wo hen hao (I am very good)....it's kinda annoying...and I'm too lazy to put in proper pinyin...>3>
Sorry for the chinese...>.>
Okay! Bye-bye! I feel like I want to watch more Otogi Zoushi...but I'm tired and my head hurts from my painful headphones! I will never get used to them! TT^TT
