SESH.sxUnderDive with Annett Gapstream (Stil vor Talent), V. Paul b2b RYB & Yonah @ Club Zimmermanns - 17 Apr feat. Annett Gapstream, Yonah, Max Blumen
MikaI can't stop thinking about this, (Young) #Nier writing his sister, #Yonah's name on the sand as one of his idle animations when he's at the beach, since I first discovered it a while ago.
Funny thing about Nier is, I didn't know going into it (playing #NierReplicant) that his Adult self would have the voice of #YusaKoji, my fav seiyu of all time, and while it's an absolute treat to listen to him in an MC role for the first time - I end up missing so much his Young voice that I've grown attached to, by #OkamotoNobuhiko.
And so I started noticing his voice elsewhere since, including in #HeikeMonogatari - which coincidentally also had the voice of #Kaine, #TanakaAtsuko.

public universal foxthe idea of my namesake as an autistic dude who has no interest in participating in the absolution of bullies and abusers, who is "grieved unto death" over the loss of a giant plant, who struggled with haShem and is RIGHT ... it makes my name and my identity fit me more than I knew when I first chose them

my girlfriend found this, and it's ... indescribable, what this means to me. my Hebrew name is Yonah, bc I felt so drawn to him as a biblical character, and yet I wasn't fully able to put my connection to him into words, until this article
"We know why Jonah runs because the prophet himself tells us at the end of the text. Jonah objects that God spares the Assyrians the consequences of their actions. They have done evil and they do not deserve to retain their status as the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Jonah is not particularly impressed with the fasting and the public repentance; but he knows that God finds such behavior acceptable and averts their doom. If Jonah knows that there will be no real change and that Nineveh’s might and cruelty will ride roughshod over his people, why should he prophecize to them? Why do they not deserve justice?"

Finding Justice in Jonah
Jonah, the prophet whose story we read on Yom Kippur, is a troubling figure for the rabbis. What does one do with a prophet who experiences revelation and immediately turns tail and heads in the opposite direction? The rabbis wonder at this behavior, in no small part because they live in a time after the end of prophecy, when the idea of a direct line from God with specific instructions sounds utterly miraculous and ineluctably compelling. Why, they ask, does Jonah run from God’s command to inf
