I mean you can if you want. I have a smaller age gap with my niece. Heck, I call my cousin’s half-sister (so we’re technically not related) my aunt. But if we’re talking about technicalities then you would still be her cousin. (She’s your second cousin to be exact)
Y'all quick question. If you're nineteen years older than your cousin's daughter is it valid to call yourself her auntie instead of cousin
This is the way you’re supposed to do pranks!

If Sherlock Holmes was Isekai'd to a fantasy world he would just deduce the rules of this world and get back to solving crimes. He'll find an elf girl sidekick,name her Watson, and pretend like nothing happened.
No, no, this isn't an AI-generated image! It's a 220 million-year-old petrified log located in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, USA. This park is famous for its vast petrified wood deposits. Petrified wood forms when minerals replace the wood fibers over millions of years, resulting in fossilized wood that can be as hard and colorful as gemstones. The log in the picture is entirely replaced by quartz crystals, making it sparkle in the close-up view. This log, dating back to the Late Triassic Period, about 225 to 207 million years ago, serves as a fascinating reminder of the ancient forests that once covered this area.
jorge (creator, odysseus) decided it'll be cool to celebrate the ithaca saga with the epic cast via a trip to ithaca, greece
surely nothing can go wrong
mico (telemachus) seemingly found out about the trip with the rest of the fandom. he proceeded to plot a trip to ithaca
the epic cast dealt with multiple broken vans and missed a ferry by one minute. they had to cancel a stream because they were too exhausted
mico made it onto a plane
ithaca got hit by a typhoon, forcing them to move another stream indoors
mico got banned from tiktok. it was reversed
mason (tireseas) asked luke (zeus) to stop the rain. luke refused
the crew hiked up to odysseus' palace. they ran into a roadblock. mason looked into the future and did not see a way around it. (they found a way around it)
the crew found a well and sang their epic songs into it. except jp (crew) who just sang happy birthday
janani (aphrodite) also sang "royal we" into the well
anna (penelope) made it onto the plane to fly out to ithaca
hermes (troy) decided to take a plane to ithaca like a normal human instead of teleporting. he got side-eyed by a woman at the airport as he slept sprawled out in a chair. this quickly became a meme
hermes arrived in ithaca to the delight of everyone except jorge. mico also appeared in his videos. mico still had not updated anything after getting on the plane
anna's connecting flight got cancelled, leaving her stranded in a fancy hotel. she struggled to find the toilet in her hotel room
mico finally updated, claiming he was stuck in munich. mason appears in the video and gives him a water bottle, proving he is lying
the fandom believes mico anyway
mico is forced to post another video revealing he had been gaslighting us basically the entire time and was just delayed in getting to ithaca, that was all
troy and talya (circe), in character, talk about tea. troy says the tea tastes like her father's approval. earle (ares) then asks for 1000 cups and breaks down crying as luke cuts the camera
jorge posts a video apologizing for mico's absence, encouraging him to fly to ithaca, new york. mico appears in the background of this video
mico posts a video saying that he's finally in ithaca, but the crew is in ithaca, new york. jorge appears in the background of this video
jp films a behind the scenes video, calling out "some random guy" who just showed up asking if anyone knows jorge. it's mico
janani sings "royal we" again, but after she says "troy was breached" troy comes out screaming in pain. mico appears in the background of this, filming the video from two points above
it's time for the ithaca saga livestream... except it gets cancelled because the connection is bad and jorge's devices are dying
TL;DR: the gods saw the epic crew in ithaca and went "do you guys think it'll be really funny if we just. recreated the odyssey"
Part 1, Part 2, Part 4
Here’s what I originally wanted to be included in the same post as Kaede, but the Tumblr app hates me so I had to copy and paste everything into a separate post.
I think Maki was the easiest one for me so far. I already had sort of an idea of what I wanted do with her. I think it also helps that she had a lot more screen time compared to Kirumi and Kaede who both died early game. Some of those ideas changed, but I am proud of this line overall.
Rookie: ToyAgumon
I know this one is a little weird, but hear me out on this one! Honestly this rookie choice was a bit last minute. I had originally planned to use Commandramon, but I decided to use ToyAgumon as my default pick instead because I know I want to use it if I end up doing Mukuro. I settled on ToyAgumon because I wanted something that was related to the fact that Maki was first said to be the Ultimate Child Caregiver. While that talent ended up being fake she was still raised in an orphanage and had to look after the younger kids a lot. I really wanted to give Maki a seemingly cute and/or child-related digimon early in her line that transitions into something more dark and deadly. ToyAgumon is literally a digimon made of legos so the child connection is definitely there. This will reflect how her talent went from something sweet like Ultimate Child Caregiver to something much more sinister like Ultimate Assassin. My original line did not have that aspect so when I realized the overlap I would have if I end up doing Mukuro, it did not bother me so much when I ended up changing it. If the colors through you off we could use ShadowToyAgumon instead, since it is just silver.
But I do still think that Commandramon is an amazing pick that you could easily use as the rookie instead if you prefer. It fits well with Maki’s assassin talent and it hints at her talent in using different types of weapons. But no matter which rookie you prefer I think both will be a good transition into their Champion form.
Champion: Sealsdramon
For anyone that prefers Commandramon, I am sure you will be happy to know that I used its default champion form. I originally was not going to use this one because I didn’t think it looked like a Maki digimon. I briefly thought about using BlackGatomon or Meicoomon, because once again I liked the idea of using something cute and both alluded to darker themes. But I was having trouble making those two picks work, so I decided to look into Sealsdramon more in depth. They are literally used as assassins in the digital world. I take back what I said in the beginning this is a perfect digimon for Maki. I also did not notice this until I started typing this post, but Sealsdramon uses knifes, which is Maki’s main weapon.
Ultimate: Aegiochusmon Dark
I know I said I wanted to avoid repeats, but this is a different form and Kirumi’s Aegiochusmon would be an alternate digivolution anyway, so I am not counting it as one. It still has some animal/dinosaur like aspects so I think the transition works okay. I did think about using Sealsdramon’s default digivolution Tankdramon, but I think that focused too much on weapons. I will admit I am a bit Aegiochusmon obsessed so maybe there are better digimon to use than it’s dark form for Maki. But I did actually put some thought behind this one. I really liked the idea of giving Maki a vaccine type digimon that looked evil/more like a virus type. I know that technically wether a digimon is a virus, vaccine, or data type don’t actually determine wether a digimon is good or evil, but I still like the idea. Surprisingly not matter what form Aegiochusmon takes it still remains a vaccine type digimon, even if it takes the dark form. Since vaccine types are usually depicted as the hero-like digimon, I thought having an evil looking vaccine type would serve as a good parallel for Maki. She seems like a cold-hearted ruthless assassin, but in reality Maki only became an assassin to protect the orphanage she grew up in. Underneath that tough and cold personality is a person who really cares about the people she is close to. Maki is not a bad person. LadyDevimon was also a digimon that was a strong contender though since a mostly portrayed as evil digimon would be put in a more heroic role if this was an anime/fanfiction. The parallel would not be made in the exact same way, but it would still exist.
Mega: Gaiomon
Since Maki’s digivolution line got darker and more evil looking as it went I wanted a mega that at least kinda looked like it could be a villain. While Maki is not a villain in Danganronpa a lot of the V3 cast treated her like one when they found out she was the Ultimate Assassin. Also if this was an anime/fanfiction Maki would totally be the edgy character with the edgy looking digimon. I will die on this hill! I was originally going to use Lilithmon since the transition from a more feminine digimon like Aegiochusmon would make sense. But then my dumb*ss completely missed that both Sealsdramon and Aegiochusmon Dark both had blade-like weapons. So I was like wait I can’t have a digivolution line for Maki with no blade wielding digimon. Her main weapon is a knife (at least I think it is since she even has her own sprite of her using one). So I eventually settled on Gaiomon since it had some very obvious blades, and it looks kinda edgy. Also the dinosaur like base serves as a nice connection to the rest of the line. I will admit that most of my thought process was based on my own stupidity, but I actually really do like this pick. I am glad I didn’t use Lilithmon because I don’t think her whole lust theme would fit Maki anyways. I did also think of using Reapermon since an assassin is associated with death, but I didn’t think it fit as well. It’s still a solid choice.
Now Maki is one of the few characters that I will not give a dark digivolution too. This is mainly because most of Maki’s digivolution line looks evil or like the dark form of something. If you want one really badly you could use Reapermon I guess?? I just didn’t think giving her one would fit very well. Instead I am going to give her an alternate Mega in the form of GuardiAngemon.
To explain this it’s time to go back to fanfiction/anime territory. As I mentioned earlier I think Maki would most likely play the role of the edgy/standoffish character in the series. Similar to Kiriha in Xros Wars or Rei Katsura from Appmon (yes I do consider Appmon to be a part of digimon. Sue me). I can see her having a distant relationship with both her digimon and the rest of the cast. Possibly also struggling with a lot of self loathing due to her assassin work. But overtime she grows to trust her friends and partner digimon, as well as herself. This could happen in a big final battle or something similar and instead of becoming Gaiomon her partner becomes GuardiAngemon a holy angel digimon of light. Maki is finally “embracing the light” and after giving her a very evil/dark looking line I think her digimon becoming a literal angel would fit that theme well. This is not me saying that Gaiomon was actually a dark digivolution. It’s more of a your lack of trust and self loathing was not letting your digimon reach its fullest potential situation.
I settled in GuardiAngemon because the angel digimon are the most obvious forms of light and good. I thought her mega doing a complete 180 would be fun. Also because it has blades for arms and I wanted to keep the blade theme with Maki. It is a shame that the dinosaur theme is gone and the connection is very small, but that’s digimon for you.
That’s it for Maki! As you can see while I am very proud of this line, and there were a lot of other strong options for me to give her. Once again I would love to see your guys’ opinions on what digimon you think would better suite the characters if you think mine are kinda crazy.

Some Random Historian Butterfly Fun Facts
After finishing the newest chapter I’ve been thinking a lot about the Historian Butterfly series. I decided it would be fun to quickly write down some fun facts/headcannons about the characters. Most of these will be about Fukuro. These are things that might not come up in the story or are not covered in depth. Nothing here will be super big spoilers. They might come up in future chapters, but they won’t be a big deal. These are just small fun facts. This was a really fun way to get more of a feel for Fukuro’s character so let me know if you enjoyed.
If Fukuro had a breathing style it would be Water Breathing according to the official Demon Slayer Fanbook. I’m not sure if she would stick to that or use/create another style derived from it.
Fukuro is demisexual biromantic with a preference for women. She doesn’t really see people in a sexual way until she gets to know them. The thought of being sexually intimate with a stranger makes her sick.
In this AU, my headcannon is that Shinobu is a lesbian.
Fukuro is 6’0”. This makes her dynamic with Shinobu hilarious to me.
It’s been implied in earlier chapters, but Fukuro used to put a lot more care into her appearance when she was in high school and middle school. She wore lots of makeup, styled her hair, and loved putting together cute outfits. Once she went to college she got very busy and invested in her research, so she stopped.
Similarly to the previous post, Fukuro also used to wear her contacts much more often. But she started falling asleep with them in when she would spend days researching. Anyone with contacts would tell you how badly this would dry out your eyes. As a result she wore her glasses a lot more to avoid the issue.
Fukuro was very popular during her high school years. Ironically this is why she struggled to make genuine friends. This is also why she prefers to be called by her first name.
Both Fukuro and her sister have different shades of blond hair. Fukuro’s is strawberry blonde, while Emiko has platinum blond hair. This is because their grandfather was from the USA.
Ironically, Fukuro was scared of butterflies as a kid. This is because she once stepped on one and thought she was going to die because it was poisonous.
Despite her clumsy nature Fukuro has never broken a bone. She does have a small scar under her lip due to her teeth going through it when she was little though.
Fukuro doesn’t actually know for sure if she is in the same timeframe as when her great grandmother was a kakushi and when Muzak was defeated. Her memory is fuzzy enough on her grandmother’s stories that she hasn’t figured that out yet.
I like to think that Fukuro’s great grandmother is the equivalent to some sort of background character that always seemed to stumble upon important events. That’s why she knows so many stories.
Fukuro’s great grandmother’s name was Suzume Takara (If I’m correct then her first name means Sparrow)
Fukuro’s insomnia comes from her great grandmother. Her grandmother and mother have similar issues.
Fukuro, as well as her parents and siblings, are all fluent in sign language due to Emiko being selectively mute for a while.
Fukuro’s mother, Yua, is a lawyer. Her father, Hiroshi, works at his family’s bakery.
Fukuro’s back up plan if being a historian didn’t work out was to become an elementary school teacher.
Fukuro’s favorite food is natto, which is fermented soy beans with rice. Most people don’t like it. (It’s one of Japan’s least popular foods and considered an acquired taste) Her least favorite food is cinnamon rolls.
Fukuro is very good at lying, even when it’s on the spot. She knows the best way to lie is to say mostly the truth and leave out details, letting others make assumptions. She hates doing this though.
I did theatre in high school and it was tradition to go the AppleBees after opening night. Most of the time people didn’t want to bother taking off their makeup and go straight there because we were hungry and tired. Well one year we did Suessical, which is basically Horton Hears a Who with a bunch of other Dr Suess characters/stories added in. Most of the main cast and ensemble were jungle animals. So it’s about 11:30 pm and the employees are taking orders from 20-30 kids with colorful animal face paint. There were purple kangaroos, hot pink rabbits, yellow bears, etc. It was truly a magical experience
My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.
We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.
We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.
We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.
We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.
