Kaname's mom and Subaru's dad (Kaname's idol fanatic mom jumping on stage and then falling to her death at Subaru's dad's concert, top solo idol at the peak of the industry, leading to uncovering of past misdeeds, his arrest, deteriorating health and death. Kaname isnt told what happened but knows he needs to be an idol because it's the thing his mom loved best, and Subaru spends his whole life under the threat of his dad's legacy, thinking he will meet the same fate as his dad. And yet he still chooses to pursue being an idol to make people smile, starting from his mom. In a funny twist of fate, decades later Kaname is attacked by the non special student body of Reimei when they're shown a video of his mom's sins being a catalyst of That Akehoshi's decline. But when a video accusing Subaru of being his dad's son is projected at the biggest idol event of the year, he is protected by the friends he's made, escaping the same fate.)

Madara's parents and Kanata's mom (Madara's parents with their numerous connections helping Kanata's mom fake her death to set her free, to escape the cult worshipping her. Madara spending his entire youth trying to destroy the cult and give Kanata back his humanity, feeling like he's failed because he couldn't do it on his own when it was never a task that could be done alone in the first place)

Izumi's parents (They're controlling Izumi throughout his childhood to follow their wishes and expectations of him, but Izumi chooses one thing for himself that they don't agree with - Makoto. Eventually he grows up to follow in his parents' footsteps by trying to control Makoto himself to protect him from potentially getting hurt)

Jun's dad and Nagisa's "dad" (Jun's dad raising him to be a solo super idol that can defeat Jin, but Jun only flourishes when he joins a unit with Hiyori and stops seeing being an idol as a duty. Similarly Nagisa being raised to be the next supreme idol, finding warmth and a family in his unit instead of being alone at the top)

Wataru and his adoptive parents (who didn't pay much attention to him, leading to Wataru constantly learning new tricks to outdo himself until eventually he couldn't be understood by those around him anymore...)

Arashi's parents (individualistic and uncaring, leading to her developing the big sis persona to not let others feel unsupported as she was growing up)

Tsumugi and his mom (who has failed, got scammed by religious organizations and brought trouble to the point of divorce, and despite it all, Tsumugi can't give up on her, his mom who was for a long time the only stable connection in his life. Tsumugi who learns the signs of a scam and to avoid them. Tsumugi who is in charge of the SNS at school where the students start railing against Kanata's religion and recognize him as a fake god. Tsumugi who develops a big bro helpful persona to make himself useful. Tsumugi who considers becoming a teacher because of it, who gets confronted by Natsume "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, or have you forgotten that's the same vocation your mom failed at?" Tsumugi who is very much aware and had decided to make a separate path for himself, one continuing as an idol in Switch, even before Natsume's words.)

Man. Enstars characters and the relation to their parents, the expectations, subversions, accidental following in their footsteps etc. I couldve worded this entire post so much better and added more characters, but you get the gist. This is all just my understanding, if you think anything is off please let me know. And I did not mention every character so if you think I missed something important also share.

Translation notes 6-10 | HANDPLATES

6. When gaster refers to the baby bones, he uses the feminine pronouns „one żyją” and not the masculine „Oni żyją” because in polish, both children (polish plural stuff is fun. Basically, it’s female/fem unless there’s at least one man/masc in there. 99 women and one man? Too bad, all are masculine now!), Souls, Experiments and things are feminine(ish, children like I said earlier, are neutral, but the feminine plural still applies), so it just made more sense to be like this.

7. I- im not translating the hmm… I just am not, there isn’t anything for me to translate.

8. Why is translating sentient such a hassle? I decided to go with the next best thing of rational. Though, it was rather pulled from the polish translation of homosapien , since in polish it means „Człowiek Rozumny” or roughly „Rational Human” and sapient in my mind is related to sentient. I could go with „świadome” which would be conscious, but that wouldn’t work as well. Damn, I feel like a little scientist myself, trying to accurately translate and work on something I hold dear… I translated „Completely unremarkable and entirely undeserving of such attention seeking behavior” into „Completely painless and unnecessarily dramatic, this better not become a pattern…” Later gaster specifically calls „the other one” aka. Sans and It since…well, it’s gaster.

9. Because in polish Little and Smaller are basically one and the same, I opted for the crossed out to say „The tiny”. It fit more. When gaster describes little sans he also uses the word „lichy” which generally means small, thin, inconspicuous, but also can mean od low quality, in bad shape, bad quality etc.

10. The tenth one wasn’t too complex- I mean it was but it wasn’t 8 levels of tiring. I still kept the funky „plural but also feminine but also kinda not” pronouns for them, keeping in mind that Gaster would be thinking of them as the gender neutral terms „Experiments, Children, Things”. Ngl had to edit a few words where I slipped up, but it’s all good. Honestly I didn’t translate the babbling, because that would be…slightly painful if I had to edit it… but we’ll see, it’s the tenth one, maybe by then I’d have the proper skills to do it. If it happens, expect a note from me and a 4000 word apology letter.

This went quicker than I expected, might actually do another 5 today, the monster energy drink is helping, that’s for sure. As a side, note, this is how I keep it all organized, the comics that is. (Ignore the little YouTube, a man needs to get some ambient noise sometimes) I also have a little google translate page open, because no one is perfect, and it helps me find words I’m forgetting or just look up alternative translations, all within reason of course.

and every group has the comics in it

Im using half screen so I can look at the comic and translate it at the same time, though, I’ll also show it in full screen.

I also keep the index on there, just in case I need to check something…but mostly so I have the comic on a tab that ISNT hidden from me, because my object permanence is not there when it comes to this stuff.

After watching Brotherhood and FMA 03 in a row, my biggest fave and peeve with 03:

Pros: Scar wasn't given a so called redemptive narrative and was portrayed in a less villainous light but still a realistic one. Winry's parents were executed by the military makes more sense.

Cons: what have they done to my boy Alex?

The 03 Homunculus take was very similar to how I imagined they could be before the reveal in Brotherhood, but I'm fine with it either way so I wouldn't say this is better or worse since it works fine for both seires.

Chaldea family trees get more and more complicated.

Let's see kriemhild is Altera's and Siegfried's wife, which makes Sieg Kriemhild's son and Altera's son-in-law and makes Jeanne daughter-in-law to both which makes that side of the family now attached to Jeanne's side and-

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

if you post an image in discord itll round the corners, but once you hit a certain smallness it rounds into a circle. so basically if you make an image that is 32x32 and you post it in discord itll go from this

to this.

so you basically can just draw a little face in mspaint or something and paste it into discord and itll look like a little emoji. you can potentially mess around with this a lot, its proportional to your image going smaller and it doesnt have to be a square either.

#I THINK THIS HAS A LOT OF FUN POTENTIAL #discord #i am reblog locking this bc i lack the ability to properly issue corrections (see replies)#and also because getting notes like this causes me some distress #please feel free to issue a version of this post that is more accurate yourself (any reader)#but i will refrain #i still think its fun tho i initially noticed this at the 16 scale where it works regardless #just have fun and express yourself in a carefree manner

Fun fact: Samus' zero suit is a bodysuit in more recent games instead of the tank-top she wore in older games because at this point, she's been spliced with so many species' DNA you really don't want to see what the rest of her skin looks like.

#her head is like the sole part of her that looks human at this point #you look at a single bit of her skin that isn't covered by the zero suit that shit starts building your frenzy meter #samus takes off her suit and instead of something sexy you just start going catatonic from things your mind cannot comprehend #samus aran #metroid #shitposting #note: I'm fully aware some of you would still be into this #just saying

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

#seeing some discourse and im not saying lucy grey didnt know #im saying she never dropped the kind of hints that she knew like she did in the movie #or if she did snow isnt worried about them until he very suddenly is consumed by them #snow is not concerned about whether or not she believed him. of course she did! hes snow!#but then shes gone…. for a while……#and its the sudden immediate drastic unravelling that comes across so clearly in the book #that i knew wouldn’t translate to screen yet still cant help but miss #the hunger games #coriolanus snow #tbosas #lucy gray baird #not a crime or anything just a note that i cannot stop thinking about #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #this is all from memory of reading it quite a while ago. so maybe 3 pages is an exaggeration #but i remember it happening VERY quickly and without much external cause #like we as the reader have no indication as to whether shes nearby or not.#snow has no idea either. he just SUSPECTS. and his suspicion breeds the hatred that has been bubbling inside him all this time #he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets #and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets #he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved #but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall #he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire
