That's super cool to hear actually, I think a lot of the time a teacher can make or break a class and having bad teachers caused me to drop a couple classes in high school. You're close, you're thinking of otsukaresama demuka, which basically means "good work". It's used typically at the end of work days or things like that and is a super common phrase. A fun fact is that meaning is really different to the literal translation, which is basically "you are tired". You can kinda read between the lines and find how that was started to be a more polite phrase. Depending on how polite you're being to the person you're talking to, it can be shortened by quite a bit, usually to something like otsukaresama but I've heard it go as short as otsu online.


Not a Setsuna gif but one of my favourites and it's perfect for a situation like this...

Anyway, quoting you too 😁
That kind of stuff is really strange to me, the closest I've heard to things like that is someone having amnesia and their taste in foods changing. But to be honest, I kinda always thought those were either stretched or just fictional.

Thanks for the quote Ash! Here's one for you too. <3

looks like it's time to burn some folks at the stake!

It's just tired I guess, learning photoshop using pen tab and writing for my RP does that I think. Just need a bit of rest and I'm pretty sure it'll be okay.

Yeah I have one, it's cheap but reliable and really for a beginner like me? It's more than enough. Hopefully, you'll be able to save enough money to buy one soon ^^

I believe it's a Wacom. Although I don't really remember the model. It's definitely on the lower end of the spectrum, that one I'm sure

I completely forgot about the fact it'd censor that, haha. That wasn't a bad call though, since "desuka" is still used very often in Japanese (it's a polite way of asking a question) so... yeah, safe bet. I imagine otsukaresama desuka would translate to a very polite way of asking "are you tired", but don't quote me on that. I'm really not practiced enough to know for certain.
