Long Neck Ninja Turtle revisited

Viime syksynä päivänvalon nähnyt käärmekaulakilpikonnaninja muutti asumaan mun aivojen takanurkkaan ja käy sieltä käsin aina välillä potkimassa asioita.

Tärkee kans chillaa ninjailun lomassa, ettei tuu hautavajoamaa kulmakarvojen välin.

Kitsune

kitsune_n

Tää on kaveri taanoiselle kuvalle Chizusta. Kitsune on Chizun kaveri Samurai Rabbit-sarjassa: ihana, riehakas katujen kasvatti ja silmänkääntötemppujen mestari, joka ystävystyy kaikkien kanssa (erityisesti robottien) ja osaa ajaa joka kulkuvälinettä (myös taistelurobottia). Kuvan pose on kopsattu japanilaisesta puupiirroksesta.

Talviretkellä

…taas!
Oltiin MacKativerin ja muiden luontoliittolaisten kaa viikko Urho Kekkosen kansallispuistossa vuodevaihteen yli. / I had a New Year holiday in an off grid cabin in Lapland.

ukk1_n
/ Are you gonna pack your trangia without checking it first? / Yeah, it’s washed and all -Washed in a creek in Scotland at six in the morning a month ago! /

ukk2_n
/ I reserved a cabin and taxi will take us to a parking lot 2,5km from it. -Yess! / This trip is going to be easy /
/ Road isn’t plowed. I’ll leave you here, 8km from the cabin. -uh, okay. / It’s getting dark. We still have more than half to go. / I can’t anymore! My toes are freezing! -Forest road ended. It’s just unbroken snow from now on /
/ We just have to keep going. -This isn’t what I signed up for at all! /

ukk3_n
/ Hell. Where are we? / There’s half a meter snow and I don’t even know if we’re supposed to go this way. Compass is useless when I don’t know my position… /
/ I’m tired too! What if I lead everyone around in circles. We can’t — What should I do?! / Does anyone have GoogleMaps at hand? -yeah. /

Likinäköisen kääpiön kirves ja toppahameen vetoketjujen tärkeys

ukk6_n
/ Ew! Don’t say stuff like that! /

ukk4_n
/ Please remember to put your snowshoes nicely -Yeah, otherwise Staalo comes and eats us! / What’s Staalo? -A boogeyman, like Lappish Slenderman /
/ Ewww now I don’t dare to go alone in the outhouse! / Relax, it’s just a story. /
/ it’s just a story it’s just a story /

/ Discussion deck? What’s this? -A game that allows you to get to know a new friend or a partner. / What has moved you lately? -That Turtles fanfic I read -Who’s your favorite superhero? -Do anthropomorfized animal ninjas count? Lol /
/ What do you think is the main purpose of intimate relationship? Meaning of life is 42 so I’d say 43! / Describe a perfect erotic holiday. How and where did you get your first kiss? Do you fall in live with a person or a gender? / Pass. /

ukk9_n
/ What’s the name of the turtle? -Bentley! -Donatello! -Oogway! /
^I don’t actually know what this was about. It was Bentley.

/ Ah-ha! /

ukk11_n
/ So they traveled to the sunrise / num num / So they traveled to the sunset /
/ That makes five hours of outdoor recreation today. -Oh, moon. /

ukk10_n
/ Here they have rested under a spuce tree. / Here they took a scenic route /
/ And here -aaaaaa- they sat! And look – / You can even see their toe prints! The cutie bunny boo’s towsie wowsies!! I can’t even !!! /

Lopuksi vielä, yleisön pyynnöstä / I was requested to illustrate this epic confrontation:
avengers_väri_n
Us as Avengers was a recurring joke during the trip along with Staalo as a recurring baddie so I guess this was — inevitable.

Muoks: Laitan tän kuvan nyt tänne kun en keksi muuta paikkaa.
Sukulaisjoulun ja talviseikkailun välissä ehdin jotenkin elää tällaisen päivän:

Piti leikkaa tukka kun yks aamu peilistä tuijotti vastaan Järnefeltin kaskenpolttajatyttö xD

Naginataleirillä

Olin Tallinnassa treenaamassa naginataa, se oli kivaa! Tunnelmia reissun varrelta. Tuttuun tapaan määrä ennen laatua ”:P / Some memories from a naginata seminar in Tallinn. Fun times! Quantity over quality, as always…

If you want attention, carry a long stick with you in public.

/ Do you have flag poles there? / Are you girls into javelin throw? /
/ Girls going fishing, ha? / Looong stick – cool..! /

On tying an obi
n_obi_n
/ The movie Memoirs of a Geisha has this line: She doesn’t know anything about tying an obi! / For a long time it made me think only this: -Oh dear. Anakin, no. /
/ But now I find myself to be in possession of obi – and I don’t know anything about tying it! /
/ May I help (not question) / … /
/ There! -Do you leave the ends loose? Bennet says it should be a bow. / Oh it’s because the Japanese don’t have butts! /

It was in fact the second time ever I was training with full bogu armour.
n_kuumotus_n
/ Strike, regroup, step, strike again, regroup and go on! / Ooooh shiiii… /
/ I’m so slow no everyone is watching aah what was I supposed to do my pair must hate me /
/ And now let’s pretend we’re tigers! -So unfair! I’d rather be there! /

On importance of correct words / Puhu äänellä jonka kuulen, sanoilla jotka ymmärrän
n_sanat_n
/ Flip your opponents naginata and strike sune / *lightsaber noises / Please use correct words! /
/ Sensei, question! -He doesn’t hear us / *in French: question! (-> a Belgian) /

n_sarjii_n
/ And here are Ina’s naginata comics– -And so much Turtles fanart !!! /

n_borssia_n
/ Check-out day! We must eat our stuff from the fridge. / What are you having for breakfast? -Sauerkraut. You? -Borscht. /

n_taxi_n
/ We’re leaving! Bye! -Bye! Hope everything works out with the taxi! / Is it just me or did that sound a little ominous? /
/ Five passengers? There’s no room! -It was supposed to be a van! / Right, let’s get a bus. / Change on the next! /
/ No no no you can’t enter with those sticks! -We have a ferry to catch! / I googled another route! Where’s the stop?! /
/ Phew, we still had six minutes marginal! / I’ve nothing smart to say really except do be careful with those taxis. /

n_kommat1_n
/ …some sort of kendo maybe / Yass! Golden star! Wohoo! /

One of Kirsi-sensei’s animals was war horse. Here’s how I imagine a horse would use naginata.
n_sotaheppa_n
Horse’s qualitys are strength and stamina and it can attack forcefully with swift movements. On the other hand, it’s attacks are easy to predict which can be used to your advance.

^This is humour. It’s how I imagine war horse would work. I didn’t hear Kirsi-sensei’s reasoning about animals as I was dying of cringe inside the bogu ”:D Too bad… (next time baby)

/ Would you get up and go to work?! / NO! It’s November*, I’m bleeding and I need to go to Lahti today! / *) it was december /

No really Lahti is quite nice, it was just the thought of going anywhere that was awful.
Sori kaikki lahtelaiset.

Neko no Naginata

chizu_muoks_n

Katsoin Netflixin Samurai Rabbit: Usagi Chronicles-sarjan. Se oli kiva, sellanen hyväntuulinen lastensarja niinkuin vanhoina hyvinä aikoina omassa lapsuudessa. Ja vähän taikapölyä tuli tietty siitä, että se perustuu (=löyhästi inspiroituu) Usagi Yojimbo-sarjiksiin. Kehtasin kattoo, kun Stan Sakai yhdessä haastattelussa kertoi ihan fiilistelevänsä sitä.

Mun lempihahmo oli ihana goottininja Chizu, joka ykköskaudella riehui naginatan kanssa (kakkoskaudella se vaihtoi jouskariin, pöh). Eka kuva on kopsaus japanilaisesta puupiirroksesta. Tähän tokaan halusin piirtää bogun ja kun osasin löytää reffit vaan moderniin urheiluboguun ni asekin on sitte bambuinen.
