Misctangents - Sleeping

I FUCKING KNEW IT

堂島 大吾, Dōjima Daigo

Type: Traditional

Features: Fudo Myo-oh wreathed in cleansing flames 

Fudo Myo-oh - The manifestation of the Dainichi Buddha, who seeks to use his fury and angry expression to frighten people into following the Buddhist teachings. There are two designs for Fudo Myo-o, one where his eyes are both wide open and one where he has one eye closed. Both eye being open represents the nation’s spiritual protection, while one eye closed (as with Daigo’s tattoo) represents personal protection. He represents the luminescent wisdom of Buddhism, protects the Buddhist teachings, removes all obstacles to enlightenment, and forces evil to surrender. He is depicted carrying his sword “Kurikara” the demon-subjugating sword, a rope for restraining demons, and seated (sometimes on a rock) to represent his immovable faith.

Fudo Myo-oh’s sword and the dragon wound around the blade are both named “Kurikara.” They reference a story in which Fudo Myo-oh fights a demon who transformed itself into a sword. Fudo Myo-oh also turned himself into a sword to continue the battle, and when Fudo Myo-oh still can not win the battle he turns himself into a dragon and engulfs the sword with flames, defeating the demon. Kurikara is said to hold the knowledge of the swordfighting arts, which it will share with the worthy.

Flames - Fudo Myo-oh’s flaming aura represents the purification of the mind by the burning away of all material desires. Flames also represent passion, energy, desire, and movement

9: The voice that encourages you when the shop you wanted to go to was closed

The shop has closed…

might as well come back tomorrow!

If you let yourself get down about little things like this, the whole trip will be ruined!

In this situation, the best thing to do is to go to bed early and start over tomorrow!

Today’s problems don’t carry over into tomorrow!

Always forward-looking, that’s me!

Super cool!

9: La voz que te anima cuando la tienda a la que querías ir está cerrada

La tienda estaba cerrada...

¡Pero bien podríamos volver mañana!

¡Si te dejas desanimar por pequeñas cosas como esta, se te arruinará todo el viaje!

¡En situaciones así, lo mejor por hacer es ir a dormir temprano y volver a empezar mañana!

¡Los problemas de hoy no se pasan al mañana!

Siempre mirando adelante ¡Ese soy yo!

¡Súper asombroso!

Italy

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “As long as I get YES for an answer, I’m willing to take the challenge and propose in any way! (unless it’s scary or if it hurts) But if I am to propose in my own style… I’ll probably just do it casually without being too stiff and formal, like usual!”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “Well~ I want a ceremony that’s wow and glamourous, yay yay and lots of fun, and with lots and lots of delicious food! ”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Germany, of course!  He’s just too straight-laced… eh, wait, nooo your face is too scary stop glaring at me like thatttt!!! (cry)”

Germany

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “Since it’s about two people making an important decision for their lives, I’d like to organize it properly by first making an appointment with my partner and dressing in formal clothes.  The location… should be somewhere indoor, so it won’t become affected by the weather.”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “I’m not particularly picky about it, but I think it’s a good idea to have a solemn ceremony in a church.”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Probably… Japan. The fact that he’s attracted to those who aren’t in the same dimension as him… tldr”

Japan

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I have a strong yearning for a love confession under a Tree of Legend.”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “A traditional Japanese Shinto wedding ceremony in Kimono would be lovely.  It’s about time I become more serious with developing technologies that will bring my bride out of the computer screen.”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “It would be terribly rude of me to answer such a question… I am very sorry but I cannot answer that.”

England

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I think it’d be rather nice and romantic to propose on a ship, while reminiscing the glorious Age of Discovery.”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “A grand wedding ceremony full of majesty and style of the Great Britain Empire.  After vowing eternal love to each other at the cathedral, I would like to hold a splendid wedding reception at the Buckingham Palace Ballroom.”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “He’s not one of the five guys here, but France.  Because he’s naked.”

America

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I want my proposal to be during Superbowl halftime or right in front of Times Square with national tv live stream, it sounds like fun and a total blast!”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “I just want it to be something cool!  Maybe we can combine all the resources and technology of NASA and have a wedding on the moon?”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Hmm… probably England? He becomes too obsessed with everything he does, so he can be too overbearing.”
