If you say "oh my god" as a shinki, are you referring to your own god? Do they feel it every time you say that?

If you say it as a god, who are you referring to? Are you talking about a god you really like?

Also, is it normal for shinki to refer to their god by their god name or their whatever name?

What if your shinki form was a toilet or a trash receptacle? What would you do then?

If a god were to pray, who would it be to? Would it be like someone who idolizes a J-Pop star?

These are the important questions.

Why would you invoke only one god to begin with?

Re: text @Osiris

[katanas_and_tea]

I don't know exactly, it's just something I've heard on television and videos on social media a lot. Maybe they have picked one god and refer to them.

[nibelungvalesti]

How strange. Why would they focus only on one, and not even name the god in question?

Also, what is television?

...Ya know, Ah dunno 'bout them first two. Ah've never really said that before. But, my Shinki's always jus' called me by my name, not my god name. That feels more like a title than anythin'.

[SKIPPING OVER THE TOILET THING]

...Ah ain't thought about if a god prayin' to another is weird. If we hadn't taken down Ashera back in Tellius, maybe so. But...reckon Ah'm not sure if worshippin' one o'chaos an' freedom an' change would be much better.

[Nephenee you can't just mention that you helped take out a god...]

[Video] (holy crap that accent is adorable)

[katanas_and_tea]

Oh! Could you make bets against each other like if one god fights another god and loses, they have to worship the winner for two weeks? That would be funny.

[Video] (Country mouse is very country. also shy about said accent...)

[mylanceisbiggerthanyours]

That'd...be interestin', Ah reckon. Would that make things weird, though? Ah'm still tryin' to figure how gods even work, an' Ah've been one for a month or two...

1. I don't say that.
2. Not applicable.
3. I call him by his name.
4. Not applicable.
5. I would assume Amaterasu in these Heavens.

[katanas_and_tea]

You answered this just like a test. ( ´ ▽ ` )☆ I'm impressed at the seriousness.

Why would Amaterasu be more important than another god?

[timeshields]

There's nothing impressive about it.
She's the ruler of Japan's Heavens. As all gods are under her she would be the most likely candidate.

[ Sorry, Takuma, you somehow made him chuckle a bit at the words you are spewing. He would never really use those kinds of words since i was out of character for him, but he did get what the blond meant so that was a funny thought. ]

Unfortunately, I have not thought about such sayings, seeing that I do not shout "oh my god," aloud often if at all.

Though, I do find it rather peculiar that you would be asking such questions. Does it really matter and what is and "J-Pop, star?"

[ In reality he may have had an idea but it didn't mean he couldn't question it at the same time. ]

Re: video;

[katanas_and_tea]

I guess since you don't have a god, you don't have to worry about the question. But! If you could pick any god for "oh my god" to signify, who would it be? It can be any god.

These questions are important. Especially the one about the toilet. That would be so unfortunate.

And a j-pop star is an idol that sings and dances to entertain people. I picked up a bunch of magazines so I could learn about what's relevant in Japan. It's important to stay up to date with pop culture. And I think my god doesn't care about such things, so I have to do it for him.

[forsakens]

Indeed I don't.

[ He nods softly. ]

I'd have to say-- Hades.

[ He stifled a chuckle at that comment. Yes, of course he would choose Hades. ]

I cannot see the the point of them but I suppose you must have your own reasons, however strange they may be.

Ehh? Is that what they are. How intriguing. You're rather diligent Shinki. Such work is rather tedious for me.

[misterfrumpyface]

These are hardly important questions.

Video;

[katanas_and_tea]

Oh but they are. There are too many people in the world for them to not be important to a great number of them.

Video;

[misterfrumpyface]

There are too many people in the world with too much idle time to waste.

[A sigh.]

Although I suppose the fact that I'm replying to this at all makes me one of them...

[redotiertwo]

wow like half of these are actual questions and the other half are incomprehensible 3am drunk texts or philosoraptor memes
good job dude

just to pick on one thing here
if your shinki form was a toilet or trash receptacle what you would do is ask your god to revoke your name for both your sakes and find another god who doesnt turn you into one of those
this is ignoring the fact im pretty sure shinki are generally
you know
weapons
or at least portable

[katanas_and_tea]

I don't know what philosoraptor memes are, but thank you!

I'm new to this whole shinki thing, so I wasn't aware that there are certain kinds of objects that may not be on the list.

Anything is a weapon if you try hard enough. My vessel form is hardly a weapon, but I'm sure it could be in the right hands.

What if the god revokes the name and gives them a new one. Would the result still be the same?

[redotiertwo]

google it
shouldnt take too long to figure out

yeah i think theres some pretty stupid shit people can turn into but i think it kind of has to
at least be an improvised weapon or not be a thing that cant be carried or carry itself into battle

you know thats an excellent question
i think it would be otherwise wouldnt gods just do the naming roulette until they got an actual weapon as a vessel

Do you truly have nothing more pressing to do?

[katanas_and_tea]

This is the most pressing matter to attend to right now.

But in short: No! （＾ν＾）☆

[priforprince]

Don't use facial expressions in written communication.

[Just going to be giving this guy a confused look.]

If I were a trash receptacle or a toilet I'd probably go fight the nearest deadly ayakashi.

Alone.

With my face.

Video;

[katanas_and_tea]

[That makes him give a nice laugh that is as pretty as his face.]

Is that how you handle embarrassing things? I don't think anyone could blame you.

Video;

[latentforlife]

I don't know if it's more embarrassing or just outright insulting. I'm not sure what you'd have to do in life to get made into a trash can but I'm sure it's worthy of never existing.

[He's not even sure how the selection of what you become happens. Like why is he a video game?]

[rev13_3]

1. Yes.

2. n/a

3. I refer to my god in the manner that my god desires.

4. It is not the concern of the shinki what form they take, so long as it's a beneficial one for their god.

5. Do you think that gods and teenagers in glitter makeup are in any way similar?
