My translyrics for Salamander, written out under the cut :D
This one was much more difficult than the last, but I'm still very satisfied with it! 😤 I'm both sad that my version lost a lot of the fun soundplay of the original, and also waaay more impressed with the lyrics and vocals after digging it like this! I tried to keep it balanced between the original and Fuuta's version, though maybe it ended up leaning more toward the cover, idk. Leaving my specific notes in the tags 👍
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I want a taste, but all this spice may prove more than I can take, (eh?)
Something's on your mind. So spit it out and tell me, don't waste my time, kay?
I'm hooked on this, pass me a dish.
The way I'm starving here without you -- it's a crime
A spicy treat, put on repeat,
Can I get seconds with the same heat? One more time!
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I can't stop anything, although I wouldn't want to stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.
I want a bite, I can't help giving in to this new appetite.
Again, again, I want to be on fire when I get to the end.
We live too fast, we burn to ash,
I never handled spices well and it's a crime.
A spicy treat, put on repeat,
Can I get seconds with the same heat? One more time!
I want to burn bright red
I want to burn bright red
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
Tell me I'm not alone in my mind!
Salamander~ Look what's happened to me. This pa- passion's crazy
Tell me I'm not delirious, I'm being serious.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I can't stop anything, although I wouldn't want to stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.
I want to leave I want to go, but I can never stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.

Ok ok so here's my casting for my Robin Hood mechanisms AU (+ some random ideas!)
Robin Hood: Gunpowder Tim (she/her)
Maid Marian: The Toy Soldier (she/her)
Prince John: Jonny D'Ville (he/him) (yes I made Jonny play a guy named John) (he'll probably only be referred to as "the prince")
The Sheriff: Marius von Raum (he/him)
Friar Tuck: Ashes O'Reilly (they/them)
Little John: Drumbot Brian (he/him)
Will Scarlet: Ivy Alexandria (he/she)
And I have a few random ideas for songs or stories, with the intro narration called 'The Highwayman' the next song called Merry Men and then the next narration is 'The Maid Marian' and the next song is Lady Love and it's all abt how Robin and his wife love each other very very much (think like Blood and Whiskey), somewhere I'll have the sheriff and the prince sing a gay little villain song, there will also be a part called 'The Heist' where the merry men plan out a heist to steal from the prince and then their daring escape, near the end there will be the whole contest thing where Robin disguises himself to win the archery contest and gets the prize, and at the end the last narration will be 'The Hospital' or something where the nurse who is actually evil (or something, I'm pretty sure) doesn't treat him right and the last song will be Robin singing to Little John about his end and the song will probably be called Where the Arrow Lands (bury me where the arrow lands, my loyal friend / how tragic, how sad, that it's come to an end) (or something like that I'll work on it) AND THEN HE DIES IN HIS ARMS OOOH SO TRAGIC
Yeahh and I'll have to go re-read the lyrics on the mechs' songs because their style of rhyming is different from what I usually use when writing songs so I'll have to change up my style a bit. (I think they write rhymes a/a/b/c/b or a/b/a/a/b something?? idk I've only really listened but I always write a/a/b/b)
Last thing, this miiight be called "In The Woods Of Nottingham" but the title is a work in progress
Sorry if this is kind of a mess, that's just how my brain feels right now I just Need to get some words down or I might explode

ok they also said that Leo need as a unit has grown the least and like. that's not true!!! as characters leoni has grown SO much. saki is processing her trauma from the hospital, Honami is so much more confident and comfortable, Ichika is growing as an artist and standing up for what she wants, Shiho is understanding how to rely on her friends. and as a group I guess it might "look" like they aren't moving as quickly as the others? but c'mon. they have to spend a lot of time mastering not only their instruments independently but also playing as a group + Ichika is also singing. they're forming a brand new band and trying to go pro, that's hard! all the other groups had a starting point
- mmj is literally composed of three already famous idols, they aren't starting from nowhere- they have preexisting fans!
- with vbs, an is a core member of vivid street + Akito and Toya has been performing for like a year before the main story. they're already well known. their goal is also not to sign a record deal or become professional singers, it's about the community of vivid street and putting on an event.
- for wxs like. emu is literally part of the family that owns the theme park. of course her troupe advances quickly, they WORK for the park! before the latest event I believe, they'd just worked at phoenix Wonderland. their goal is to put on shows to make people smile. and that's readily available to them- they don't really have to worry about getting people to come to their shows or anything, they're literally sponsored by a theme park in tokyo
- niigo is probably the closest to leoni in terms of starting from scratch, but their main boost was that kanade was already getting a lot of views just as a composer. plus she's like. a genius with music and had been composing since she was very very young. I'm not sure how famous they're implied to be in universe, but it's safe to assume they have a large following, especially after starting to do music videos thanks to Ena and Mizuki.
I don't know, it just feels weird to me to say leoneed hasn't grown as much. when they started, Saki hadn't played a synth presumably since she was hospitalized, Ichika wasn't playing the guitar as much, and Honami probably hadn't used her drumset in forever. shiho was the only one with experience since she'd been playing the bass since she was little. so they have to practice, a lot, to become good at their instruments. then, they also have to get used to playing as a band, and then also have to get their name out there. I'm pretty sure none of the other units even have to sell their own tickets the way leoneed does, or has to actively work to get their name out. not only that, but they DO have fans!! as early as live with memories! like they have to work really hard to build their fan base and get people coming to their shows.

Raw Hozier lyrics
I feel like when people post these, they forget about some important lines. Or maybe I'm just projecting but anyways
***
"You don't have to sing it right, who could call you wrong? Put your emptiness to melody, your awful heart to song."
"I couldn't name the feeling carried in that voice, was it that or just the act of making noise that brought you joy?"
"I knew that look dear, eyes always seeking. Was there in someone that dug long ago."
"Let it hurl, let the awful song be heard."
"And if secrets were like seeds, when I'm lying under marble marvel at the flowers you've made."
"If there was anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact, they didn't do it right."
"All that we intend is built on sand, or slips right through our hands."
"Measure the silence of a house, the unheard footsteps at the doorway. The unemployment of the mouth."
"I think of loss and I can only think of you."
"Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity. A cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly."
"Like a heathen clung to the homily, let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me."
"A squall, and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety."
"I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted. Oh, but I'm singing like a bird about it now."
"And I'd no idea on what ground I was founded. All of that goodness is going with you now."
"Remember me love, when I'm reborn. As a strike to your sharp, and glorious thorn."
***
aight I'm done now.
