#(i haven't finished it bc i don't want to fuck up transcribing any of the Japanese lines in that post but like it mostly exists already)

mentally rotating a ridiculous fannish Gordian knot where half the rambling headcanon and ship analysis posts i start writing end up involve a part where I make reference to the manga's implications about Vueko's attitude towards sex and how it's really quite different from the impression you get if you view the anime first or exclusively, but i don't want to have to stop and explain that in the middle of every post because i've long, long since intended to do one single effortpost definitively explaining this for people, that i can then just point at or link to

it would have citations of and examples of a few really specific differences between original manga dialogue --> English manga dialogue --> anime depiction of scenes --> translated version of anime dialogue and discussions of fanon and ripple effects of localization and adaptation choices and analysis, and like screencaps and translation notes and stuff. this particular Thing is really interesting to me on multiple levels both as a Vueko Liker and a habitual Fandom Analysis Enjoyer with, lately, particular interest towards what's perceived differently between communities that don't interact due to language barriers (ohhh whenever i make an updated post about the Bef Gender Thing y'all will NOT be prepared. that one will genuinely be a lot of fun god i love how it organically leapt to english speaking fandom inspite of the localization giving us Nothing in that regard).

so i'd love to be able to tell interested parties about differences in accepted fanon btw the Japanese-speaking, Chinese-speaking and English-speaking MiA communities. (which by the way i've been nothing short of ecstatic to be able to make friends across the borders of)(also Chinese fanon stuff isn't in that specific post lol probably no one cares but i didn't want to do false advertising) but anyway i haven't made that post. so. i have a fucking headcanon traffic jam as a result because whenever this happens i just throw my hands up in the air and shove the post into drafts until i can write that other one. insane

#situation is so silly. it's like the inverse of a sunk cost fallacy #'if i keep writing this part of post it's going to undo some of the potential payoff and usefulness of that other post' #'i'll just publish this later where i can throw in a link to Vue Sex Essay in this part' (repeat for ten different posts) #ebil writes #orphan hole tag #(i haven't finished it bc i don't want to fuck up transcribing any of the Japanese lines in that post but like it mostly exists already) #._. i can't think of a way to keep this from showing up when ppl search 'vueko'. (except ways that would be silly. i'm not writing V*eko) #if this is perceived outside the target audience of 'people who liked my Sage Overanalysis enough to follow me' i hope no one's obnoxious
