HI HElLo!!! Sorry for the bother but I’ve been kinda going in circles trying to find more info on Toubyou!! It seems that whenever I look em up, I just find the SMT renders. Is this a case of like, a mistranslation or something else? HES LIKE. Such a Funny Little Guy and my mind craves more info on him.
(They do kinda remind me of those Snake Wine bootles. If only a little) Thank you for your time tho!!!!!!
Let me detail my process for situations like this when I want to find more info on obscure demons:
1 Toubyou is a Japanese demon, so it's likely "real"
2 I search using its name as rendered in the Japanese version of the games: トウビョウ, with the intention of finding how the name is rendered in Kanji (to search again for more info, if necessary)
3 The top two results are its Japanese Wikipedia page and Pixiv wiki (these Pixiv wikis often have reliable information, at least for Japanese stuff) The Wikipedia page offers a Kanji name: 土瓶.
4 Next I'll run what I find through a translator
5 Lastly, I'll compare the new info to an officially translated in-game profile to see if it's in the ballpark/ the original Atlus intention for the demon:
6 The bit about the golden ring around the neck is consistent between sources, so this seems to be what you're looking for
The Wikipedia page has more sources to look through that should lead you down an even deeper Toubyou rabbit hole.
hey! if you're not already aware, my favorite game ever, a boomer shooter called TF2, is currently facing a massive bot problem. bad actors are hosting bot players to farm items and take advantage of the economy, or to go out of their way to disrupt games with cheats like aimbot and wallhacks. an entire game can be put to standstill by 3 sniper bots, and Valve continues to monetize the game despite their several-year long stint of no communication to the community, and no action to stop the bots.
if you'd be willing to take a second, check out this website and sign this petition which will be physically printed and sent to Valve.
a lot of people have a deep love for this game, and it makes me sad that it's made to be as unapproachable as it currently is by people who choose to detract joy from the world because they cannot create it.
Googoo thanks you for your signature. Scout (me) also thanks you for your signature.
Trick or treat!
Wasn’t expecting one so soon, here’s a big plate of spicy Mapo tofu with rice.
While lurking in the Twitter wasteland, I came across a few Japanese posts which talked about this guy.
A demon from the Dictionnaire Infernal called Yan-gant-y-tan and apparently he became something of a meme with either the pose or the demon being drawn.
If you want to see things, try using either of his Japanese translations
ヤンガンティタン
Or
ヤン=ガン=イ=タン
The Japanese don’t know how this trend started and honestly, most things don’t make sense nowadays but going with the flow seem to be the best way to live nowadays.
Autistic Inertia is an autism experience that makes it hard to start, stop, and switch tasks.
It somehow doesn't get talked about enough - so I made this comic!
YouTube • Instagram • Twitter
Also, if you want to read the research study I based this comic on, it’s right here!
Ninjas don’t wear black. They used to disguise themselves as civilians. Unlike ninjas in movies, the real guys were smart enough to know that wearing a black outfit with a face mask wasn’t the best strategy for blending in. Source
Old memes to wish for a good, probably not as problematic as last-year year
I saw an opportunity and I took it
On Twitter as of recent, Vtubers (the smaller ones) seem to be in a panic as certain people follow them. I first saw it with Merryweather (It probably started there) with a gimmick account called “I Only Follow Bottoms” and then it started to go wild with the account following more Vtubers, than more people made more gimmicks like following Tops, Switch’s, and Furries (the ones I saw) and following Vtubers, sending them into a kind of panic. It’s hilarious that they think this accounts like catching an infectious disease, and I’m all in for more chaos.
