Making it Work
Sep. 26th, 2020 06:58 pmFollow-up to Family Practice.
Quick rundown: In this universe, Japan is run by the women. Miyamoto Suna is Xander, and she's a matriarch of the Miyamoto Family, or Miyamoto-gumi. Cordy is her "husband" (they don't care as long as you're acting within your "gender" and there's one wife, head of the household, and one husband, submissive and caretaker of the household). Kansai-ben is an accent that's usually contrasted with Kanto-ben, the version of Japanese spoken in Tokyo, and it's the accent Majima and Saejima, and more to the point of the fic, Miyamoto, speak. It is thought of as more slangy, in contrast to Kanto-ben (you could compare it to Other Accents vs British Received Pronunciation). Irezumi youkai are the 'tattoo-spirits' all yakuza have, and invoking one gives the colored fiery aura seen in Ryu ga Gotoku (Yakuza) games. Gokudou is another word for yakuza. Suna and Sunao or Nao-kun are the same person. Miyamoto is genderfluid and simultaneously at peace with it/confident in their choices and more messed up than canon. The Chairwoman is the Chairwoman of the Amaya-kai clan of yakuza, Natsukawa (Buffy).
