Thank you—both the video and the making-of were right up my alley. It was so neat seeing everything the creator had to pull together (including ToTK jank) to make it happen!

Also the comments led me to this interview quote from ToTK's director, Hidemaro Fujibayashi:

I think we managed to represent this visually as well. The designer didn’t simply make him look violent; they managed to fulfill my wish of making him look overwhelmingly evil while also being handsome enough that both men and women would fall for him. We put a lot of thought into choosing his clothes and accessories, keeping in mind that Ganondorf himself should have a strong sense of beauty and good taste. We thought he would probably be a character who paid a lot of attention to his appearance, demonstrating his dignity and intelligence as a king, and designing him with that in mind, we were meticulous with his face, body, all the way down to his fingertips, making him come off as robust and sexy at the same time.

If I had a nickel for every time a yuribait anime episode centered on an original wind ensemble arrangement of T-SQUARE's 1986 tune "Takarajima", I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

the anime in questionThe two episodes are S02E07 of Hibike! Euphonium (my beloved) and S01E05 of the currently-airing Rock is a Lady's Modesty (which is quite fun so far!)

Idk what merengue has to do with Ganondorf but you should still learn it because it's fun and merengue music has the absolute silliest lyrics. Also, the basic step is incredibly simple: if you can walk, you can merengue.

I've been wondering about this myself, seeing as I definitely fit the profile us-foreign-policy A passport card seems like the best option in terms of portability and durability. On the other hand, I feel like you could have your passport, your birth certificate, and your Social Security card, and some pig would still just be like, "Nah, that shit's fake" and arrest your ass.

The Hangul on the right (토리 to-ri) is the Korean reading of the individual Chinese characters on the left (土里), but as far as I know it's not an actual word or phrase in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. The two characters mean soil (and by extension, land/territory) and village, respectively.

edit: If anyone's wondering, I did also search for the characters/syllables reversed, since traditionally horizontal writing was interpreted as single character columns and read right-to-left. Judging by the quality of the calligraphy, though, I kind of doubt they would have known about that.

The Gordon Chung post is almost certainly fake--if you check the Wayback Machine for the tweet you'll see it was just a screenshot. Not only did I fail to turn up the original tweet from Chung, someone else mentioned contemporaneously in the replies to the tweet in the OP that they couldn't find it.
