Letter from Maxi Corp CEO
Greetings,
I thought today I would offer a little insight into my life history and how it I ended up here as CEO at Maxi Corp. It all started when I was in College actually. At the time I had swallowed an experimental drug and devolped gigantism. Finally, after a little bit of work from my friend, and a fight with a giant bitch, we were able to get me back to normal.
However, for me, that’s when my life started. I decided to go into research and business and explore down the route of Human Growth. And now we’re here today! It’s been a wild ride. We’ve dealt with many viruses and “evil” organizations. The Futa Virus and Bimbo Viruses were by far the worst, but there has been others.
We have definitely grown to the top though! I can’t believe we’re as successful as we are. Women all other world clamour to get our products, and I can’t blame them! It feels good to be big. I hope you stay tuned and stick around for future announcements! Remember, We’re giving you your bigger tomorrow, today!
Sincerely,
Cassie Stratford
Maxi Corp CEO
I wonder how many of you will get the reference? Reply down below if you do! I’m genuinely curious
I’m finally getting a handle on my life. With 15 more days of undergraduate, I’m happy to say I’ll be more into my blogs, video games, anime, etc.
So, let’s get started with K.O. 14!
子
This is the character for “child”. It’s supposed to be a picture of an infant…I guess. I mean, it sort of looks like a baby’s head and the bottom half is the blanket? Like many kanji, I’m not too sure what this was originally.
It’s worth noting that while 子 means ‘child’ in a gender-neutral way, it’s often slapped on the end of names for girls. For example, “花子” translates literally to “flower child”, but it’s only used for female children. Same with赤子、紀子、and 月子. I guess it’s almost equivalent to the “-ley” sound ending in English names, where general names that involve the sound are used for girls (like Karleigh and Lilly) or at least unisex (like Ainsley and Riley).
Examples:
子供: child, children
女子: young woman, girl
男子: young man, boy
息子: son
金子: money, funds
皇太子: Crown Prince
子会社: Subsidiary company
親子: Parent and Child
字
Likely due to 子’s common meaning, it is also put in a lot of characters. 字 is a very common character that means, well “character”, “letter”, or “word” (given that a character in Japanese can be both simply the letter or a whole word). It’s most commonly seen in 漢字, the kanji for “kanji” or “Chinese characters”.
The picture is supposed to be a child under a roof “⼧”. It was supposed to convey “being taken care of” at some point, but I’m not too sure what happened.
Examples:
数字: Numbers
文字通り: Literal
点字: Braille
英字: English letter
字数: Number of characters
字幕: Subtitles
字形: Character style/form
学
Again, another commonly used kanji. This kanji means “school” or “field of study”. It’s supposed to be a picture of a covered mind, so take that as you will.
Examples:
学校: school
学生: student
科学: science
医学: medicalscience
文学: literature
留学: studying abroad
女
After covering 男 so long ago, we finally mention 女! 女 means “woman”. Unlike 男 that has two kanji to convey a masculine attribute, 女 is just supposed to be a picture of a woman. Maybe it’s the dance like motion about it? I’m…I’m just not sure.
Fun fact: 女 is often used as the radical for a lot of both positive and negative words, attributing to the fact that no one is sure what a woman is. One of the most notable words to me is 姦. It’s three women together and it means “wicked” or “noisy”. (sarcasm on) Of course (sarcasm off)
Examples:
女性: woman, female
男女: men and woman
彼女: she, her
女優: actress
女王: queen
女神: goddess
好
This is a basic character in both Chinese and Japanese, even though the meaning slightly differs between the countries. It’s a woman and a child together so it must be…good! 好 means something is liked or preferred. It’s exactly what it is–a woman and her child. That’s it.
Examples:
好き: liking, fondness, love
友好: friendship
好評: popularity
好む: to like, to prefer
絶好: best, ideal, perfect
好感: good feeling
穴
Last one for this time. This means “hole”. It’s a picture of 八 under a roof “⼧”. That doesn’t make much sense until you remember that 八 is supposed to represent division. What’s under a roof? The ground. What do you get when you divide the ground? A hole.
Examples:
穴: hole
落とし穴: pitfall, trap
墓穴: grave (the hole in the ground kind)
穴熊: badger
毛穴: skin pores
穴あきチーズ: cheese with holes in them (i.e. swiss)
