maybe AMSA spoiler, but years in the future (not many) Inunaki is gonna come to Junna’s place like “hey King Enma wants to see you” and Junna’s gonna realize “… he found out I’m cultivating immortality so I won’t die and he wants me to do the Hell Labor I owe him doesn’t he”
Junna’s Hell Summer Internship
Junna: Hahaha, this is EXACTLY like Hozuki’s Cool-headedness, this rules.
Takuto comments on their social media post about it “only an idiot works for free.”
Man, Junna decided not to die, so let them live, Takuto!!!
[from Karner] "you need to pave the roads for king enma junna!! can’t get out of it!!"
“I’ve been paving this road my entire life! I always have good intentions!”
Junna likes Izanami but King Enma is a bureaucrat and they don’t respect him.
had a random thought and had to look up recent Japanese Prime Ministers.
Junna missed Suda Yoshihide’s entire time in office while wandering and Abe was assassinated the day after the “finale” of AMSA.
so they also missed the COVID lockdown…
They’re doing better than Nuǎn, who took a nap from 1964 to 1999. Just in time for Y2K panic and they’d never seen a computer before!
YouTube recs are now “ONE BILLION YEN APARTMENT IN DOWNTOWN TOKYO HAS A JACUZZI FOR YOUR CAR” and “this 4sq meter studio apartment in Fukuoka is 13 minutes from the nearest train station and costs $9.”
Window shopping for Takuto & Shigoro vs Junna
Takuto: wouldn’t think of buying a place without a jacuzzi, full kitchen, and view of the Tokyo Skyline
Junna: wants a roof and an electric socket so they can put their kettle on a hot plate to make tea
I want to make a strawpage or something so one day people can send me questions like “hey, where was Nuǎn during Fox Wedding?” And I can say “they got involved in a death game organized by rich people but all the contestants turned out to be immortals, so it was a pretty wild few seasons.”
was watching the Neuro-sama streams where Vedal lets Neuro & Evil shop on Amazon on stream. AMSA version where Shigoro is shopping & Takuto is buying but he keeps overruling Shigoro to buy higher quality, more expensive version.
man, looking at it now Junna is half “mysterious supernatural girl/woman that acts as an observer in horror anthologies” and half “tragic charismatic guy shunned by society trying to do the right thing without caring about his personal safety.”
First half influences: Furude Rika, Ichihara Yuuko, Enma Ai, Second half influences: Shinei Nouzen, Geto Suguru, Wei Wuxian
one thing about Nuǎn is they do NOT know Who Sõseki Natsume is so Junna can introduce them to the Hot New Works of Japanese Literature.
… it could be worse, Junna could be an avid light novel reader! They’re respecting the classics!
Junna, picking out the movie for movie night: today I got the 1972 adaptation of Botan Dōrō, “Seidan Botan Dōrō.”
Nuǎn: oh, one of the great ghost stories of Japan! : )
Junna: the greatest adaptation of all (the softcore porn version).
Nuǎn is 3000 years old, they won’t find it shocking.
MBTI mention, but HEAR ME OUT
Working on Fox Birthday and thinking how Shigoro is more extroverted /socially/ but thinks in an introverted manner (which is the MBTI meaning) while Takuto is more introverted socially but thinks in an extroverted manner.
Their synergy is disgusting.

SCROLL TEST: thinking about how Nuan loves artifacts so if one of their secret hibernating tombs was discovered, archaeologists would be so baffled because they have some Shang Dynasty oracle bones in there with Ming Dynasty porcelain. Not to mention the failed homunculi. 　
I am so sad that I can't go in-depth about Nuan's life in AMSA. They are... interesting. I don't even think it's their age, I think they were a gorgeous little freak from the start (I mean, who even decides to cultivate immortality and then actually does it). 　
　 the reason Junna isn’t MORE scared of Ibuki is because they have seen Ju-on and Ibuki is REALLY chill compared to Kayako. 　
Ironically, Ibuki is only stalking/haunting because Junna…… ghosted her… 　
(In the slang way AND the literal way, Junna turned her into a ghost lmaoooo… haha…… we stay silly…) 　
one thing I want to be noticeable is that Takuto isn’t that good at comebacks. He mostly just strikes back with the meanest, harshest shit he can think of. The clever stuff is Shigoro’s work. It’s like in JJBA Stardust Crusaders when Jotaro told Avdol to say something cool. 　
Takuto can say things like calling Junna a “Chuuni ghost-fucker” but notice how it’s low effort and he probably got it from Shigoro, who wouldn’t say it straight to Junna’s face lol 　
　 MKR characters as K.K. Slider songs

• Ryuuzaki: Pondering

Nuǎn’s age presents some absolutely terrifying concepts. They were awake during WW2 but slept through the Mao’s Cultural Revolution and didn’t wake up again until 1999.
I bet they woke up like “I sure hope no more of those nuclear bombs were dropped while I was asleep.” GREAT NEWS…
Nuǎn hearing no more nukes have been dropped on populated areas while they were sleeping- : )
Nuǎn hearing about Chernobyl- : (
Very excited for them to learn about the moon landing. They got to see the start of the Space Race but it was lights out in 1964.
Nuǎn actually picks up new technology quickly, but they’re so weird about when and how they use it. They’ve never mailed anything with a stamp before. They have an email account and they’re over 2500 years old. They slept through cassette tapes and were just in time for Y2K.

So when Shigoro sends Junna the “ganbatte” and the selfie of him & Takuto having movie night, Junna is definitely zooming in like “what movies are these freaks watching.”
Exact same reaction Takuto & Shigoro would have if Junna send them something similar lol
“What movies is that freak watching?” And Shigoro goes “The entire Ju-on series.” “Ha. Well, what did we expect?” “Exactly that!”
Junna don’t show your current date movies where the lead actress looks like your ex gf, that’s so weird.
Nuǎn is a little spooked by Ju-on. It would be a lot of work to exorcise that house. Junna says it would be not problem.
Junna: I bet Takeo would leave a horrible aftertaste, yuck
Nuǎn: you would absorb Kayako as well? :’0
Junna: I would eat her gently, like the finest taiyaki u_u
damn, Junna making things Extremely Weird, they ARE the little freak in this one. Takuto and Shigoro are just watching like, the newest Marvel movie or some shit. Basic bitch stuff.
in my edits I realized I didn’t really think about how Junna & Izanami like. Met. I think Izanami just saw Junna walking around on the opposite side of the Sanzu River sometimes and said “who is that little creep that’s always hanging out in the toxic gas & dead bush garden?”
Junna: I don’t have 300 yen on me to pay for this train ticket so I’m just gonna take my shortcut on the Sanzu Riverbank and hope no oni try to come kill me for hopping the metaphorical turnstile.
