out of curiosity, which parts/episodes have the bad localizationing for phoenix? I'm probably going to read the official translation on sekai.best since I don't like using youtube and i wanna know what to expect

here's my main issues with it in brief for now, but i'll probably do a longer post on the topic of ensekai's translations later

Rui: I guess this is what you want to do

first off from chapter 7, rui's observation of Tsukasa's breakdown. this is just weirdly casual and honestly ooc for Rui. as a director, he's observant, and he's trying to understand what tsukasa's going through and what he's trying to do. The fan translation i linked puts this as "As I thought, this is what you're going for", which is far better.

Rui: We should let Tsukasa be right now...

also from chapter 7 literally 4 lines later. while at first this might not seem that bad, and is fitting with the context, i much prefer the fan TL version which puts this as "This is something that Tsukasa needs". Like do you get how much the word "needs" changes this. "We should let him be" is kinda broad all things considered. Like it could mean he needs it, but it could also mean that someone on tiktok or twitter will probably misinterpret it as wandasho not knowing what to do or some other angsty thing like them not being good friends i dunno

Tsukasa: It's because "I" am not strong enough...

Now this. This is a good line. Note the quotations around I. This is very important to Tsukasa's arc in this event of understanding the role of Rio and improving his acting. Note that here, the pronoun used is boku, when Tsukasa uses ore. Boku, or "I" here, refers to Rio, as in, Tsukasa is thinking as Rio. EN drops the quotations completely and translates it flatly as "because i'm powerless". He refers to himself in first person while thinking as Rio for the rest of the scene on EN though, so hopefully there won't be too many misinterpretations (but. you probably know what I'm vagueing about). Pronouns aren't used as frequently in japanese as in english so this is actually the first time he uses boku in this scene, hence the quotes. This is more nitpicky it's just something I thought was pretty cool.

Rui: Did you see that phoenix you were talking about?

one last Rui quote (rui im sorry ensekai can't translate you well). wow 3 out of four quotes here are rui in chapter 7 damn. anyway. the fan translation of this is "Have you finally found your Phoenix" which is SO much better with the context of the rest of the story. tsukasa decides that he needs to "find his phoenix" in order to nail the role, and this is correctly translated aside from this one line, which is arguably one of the most important uses of it. it's not just any phoenix, it's tsukasa's. his personal one, like a resolve of sorts. once again they made rui far too casual and he doesn't sound right.

yeah as i said i'll do something better another time, but he's my main nitpicks and complaints.

Yeah, I get what you mean 🙈 There was a time I was 100% immersed in reading fanfics about their BROTP/frenemy-ship and uff, just all the emotional damage and depth as well as problems and love one can pull out of those two WITHOUT having to go off canon is just...WOW! And ohh, esp. their early years together just give SO MUCH, like, Obi taking in that responsibility regardless of everyone being against it, him being a bit jealous/bitter how Qui-Gon (who nearly didn't take Obi as his Padawan and pretty much had to be begged to) seemed willing to "drop" Obi for Ani, Ani struggling to "not feel", being an outsider, having to catch up, ... Just, uff, SO MUCH UNSAID/UNSHOWN CONTENT!😭😍😭😍😭

Ohh, is it because of his weird romantic talk that you're not really a fan of Anakin's or just generally didn't vibe with him?🤔😂

Fine, judge all you want, I don't care, it's not like judging isn't kinda an inherently human trait anyway🤷🏻‍♀️😂💃🏻

Ohh, okay, Yeah, I think I'll have to go and check that 🤔

...Eh, why would we need to feed them? You DO realise those are free kangaroos who come and go without having to have our permission or being dependent on us?😅 It's not a zoo, Kat😂 So, no, they aren't dead, they're perfectly fine😁

Nooo, HALT, STOP! I might be the author, but it's not like they ever actually DO what I PLANNED, UH-UH, those two are their usual headstrong-goat-like selves and suddenly decide to change the storyline or just make everything I write turn to 💩, so nope, not my fault🤷🏻‍♀️😂 (PS: You know, the more I think about it, I actually just wanna snap and tell everyone and everything off too 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Like, what a chill life 😉)

Hmm, True, I've seen it in AO3, but nowhere as commonly as back on fanfiction.net (aw, sometimes I really miss those days of Schilling through all fanfiction.net pages, but ao3 really is the easier/better site🙈)

😂😂 Ohh, apropo Rhea, I was wrong, I'd forgotten about Rhea in the Hunger Games AU, THAT one is awesome🙈😂

Yess, same, fingers crossed!!😁🙈

..."Powers"?🧐🤨

Ooooo-kay, I really didn't need THAT image in my head...ehww, all those bacteria on their tongues after that😰🙈🤢

Absolutely traumatizing, just half-imagining that makes me wanna go to therapy😅😂

Yes, yes, as long as MW are happy☺😊🤩💃🏻

Ehh, wasn't the film with Ewan the Illuminati one? I don't remember him in the Da Vinci code, but it's been a while, so maybe he WAS in both movies?🤔😅

No promises 😂😁🤷🏻‍♀️

Thaanks☺ You too! Nearly reached the weekened, too😉

XXX

What I like about the fics is how they can explore more things from the canon and thing that were ignored and some SW fics nailed shit. Things like, you know, characters having heart to heart conversation or monologues in their heads about how they don't get the behavior of the other xD God bless the fics ;D

I'm not a fan of the chosen one trope. He was interesting because he was chosen one, then he was the bad guy, just to end as the chosen one again. But still, first annoying kid, then annoying teen talking about sand and having super dumb lines and then a pissed off dude killing YOUNGLINGS! So, in a way he broke the trope but in the end he didn't xD But that was Vader. I can't really think about Anakin and Vader as an one xD Plus, well, I kind of felt the time was wasted on him, when we could just watch Obi-Wan staring at walls or something ;)

And dunno, i think I'm rarely fan of the main heroes of the stories, tehy are too predictable, I guess?

(before I forget, Poets Of The Fall released a new song, Chasing Echoes)

*sips tea*

Mhm. Tell that to Greenpeace when they when finally get my complaints about you.

This is what you say yourself before the sleep? D: Because they all EXIST IN YOUR HEAD. Without you, the HORRBILE angst would not exist! Ha! (Do it! Rao is my witness, thaty i wanted to do it after many SG eps or in some of my stories)

Yeah, I hold some sentiment over FF.net, it was my first fanfiction sire after all. It was annoying and posting was sometimes a pain in the ass, but still, good memories xD

LOL, you are right, she is nice there. How the reading that fic is going? :D

I can curse people and I am pals with a real life demon. Just saying.

IKR?! Who the fuck wrote it?!!! I know it was Chris, so the scene was hot just becasue he was in it, but stillllllllllllllllllllllll, poor boy, wonder how much he was traumatized after it.

My two fave hermits who deserve love, happiness, unicorns, dinosaurs, chocolates and reasons to come out of their cave and show their faces at least one time every month TT

Nope, it was Angels and Demons (or something like that).

WEEKEND!!!! AND EUROVISIOOOOOON NIGHT!!!!!!!!

Have a great time, hope everything is fine with you :)

So I've completed RE3 2020

......so my fear of finishing it early came true. Yet I still overall enjoyed the game......

Little spoilers or nothing extreme....but to show I completed it.

Yeah this is the PS4 version.

You know before I was gonna play this game. After watching a certain video showcasing their seemed to be some stuff off about the criticisms of this game. I can see people's point.

I think I'm just disappointed the game wasn't longer. Yet this is coming from someone who hasn't finished the original Resident Evil 3 on Dreamcast. But I think the remake is a pretty damn nice game.

It's just all of these weird feelings....just....I got through that.

It's weird to explain.

But other things. Yeah I got killed two more times. The 2nd I was surprised by a Gamma that was behind me during this hanger part. Which explained why there was this animation I had when facing these zombies. During the final Nemesis boss fight, on the right side of the power pillars, I get grabbed and squeezed by Nemesis.

I honestly laughed at Jill's, "Bitch can't even swim" comment. Also now I remembered. I did an evil laugh at Carlos's comment on the whole, "Welcome Leon" thing.....I think that was funny.

But back to some points I'm thinking about. Despite I felt very immersed into the experience including when playing as Carlos and calling this Hunter like creature a son of a bitch. Including exploring more of Raccoon City and just overall having a good time. Including gameplay as Carlos was nice as well.

Yet I am disappointed by yes when I think about it the cut content. While the clock tower battle is different. It's nice the tower is actually there. Because it made it seem like it wasn't involved but I think it could be because you don't go in it.

Okay yeah nothing huge in spoilers but this is a 20 year old game. But I'm just warning people.

You don't see Brad's death by Nemesis, Jill doesn't explore the RPD building, also Barry actually doesn't make an appearance in the game at the end.

Also that part with Nemesis I praised yesterday where I said Nemesis is worse than Mr. X? Despite Mr. X is scary on standard mode. Nemesis even on assisted just terrified me. Yet it's mainly that one segment, that one part of town he stalks you.

But considering he starts changing after the train part, it makes sense. I mean that would of been worse if there was another segment with Jill getting something and Nemesis in his stage 2 is stalking me.

Yet considering the game and length, I still dig what they did with Nemesis. Including I dig with what they did with the characters as well. Gonna admit....I really wonder what the Hell are people talking of how they ruined Jill. Such as this one thumbnail I decided look up that the game is a humiliation of Jill Valentine and Nemesis.

Listen I totally get cut content and length. Despite RE3 from what I learned is one of the shorter RE games....but I hope to God people's bitching about Jill isn't about possibly the trauma the game showcases she's gone through. Along with whatever things but I'm not sure. Because I dug her portrayal in this and it was respectful of the original game.

Especially there are two nightmare parts in this game. With the first at the beginning of the game.

Yet I shouldn't assume what some of the complaints are. The main thing I honestly liked it. Yet I can definitely tell I just wanted more. Because Resident Evil 3 as a whole is just something I really like.

Mainly just the set up and Nemesis as a villain. Because the complaints I've heard disappointment me at first.

Because before the game fans were hyping in YT comments that Nemesis would be worse than Mr. X.

Including in my case I hoped it would basically be Mr. X on steroids that's like the Xenomorph from Alien Isolation. Despite if that happened, there would be complaints about Nemesis being too difficult.

But considering my experience with Nemesis. I was honestly happy with his portrayal.

I do wanna say before learning or thinking well....the remakes mainly the 2nd and 3rd are basically their own canon which I have thought about. But considering one of the creatures is being retconned into the Las Plagas parasite and learned last night Nemesis got a bit of retconned too.....

So....yeah....the remakes of RE2 and RE3 possibly being their own things seem off now or so.

I'll also say this. Capcom I get RE4 is very popular and it's a meme to get it on every console possible. Surprised it's not like Doom meme levels which is stupid and insane to say.

Yet it would make more sense to remake Code Veronica before RE4....just give us the last of the 1998 saga of the RE series.

We got the remakes of the first three games, RE 0, and finally Code Veronica. Just give us that including with a remake version of RE Engine version of Wesker and younger Chris.

Because the stupidest thing I thought of long ago is just imagine if Capcom remade the original RE again. But this time using the RE Engine like with 2 and 3.

Time to spill the tea, y'all

For those of you who know what's going on, cool. That's cool. I don't need to explain. For those of you who don't, you'll find out soon enough if you keep reading.

Now let's not get our panties in a bundle. Redrose is an amazing person and fucking GREAT addition to this fandom. But because of one thing she said, that's not even an opinion, it's FACT, y'all decide to go after her.

So let's spill the tea on me. Yes, me. You read right. I'm gonna tell you why, if anything, you should be attacking me. Because Redrose put up with my shit, and she did it marvelously without anyone but the two of us knowing.

This damned Hell-bent world has a decent human being and y'all are really starting to push her over her limits. After all my bullshit, which is proof Redrose is a good-hearted person, maybe y'all can sit back and let me explain what she meant and why this whole post is relevant. It may not seem so at first, but the beginning of this post DOES further my point later on.

For those of you who remember on Redrose's Instagram, she got an anonymous ask on her tellonym awhile back. Essentially, it said something along the lines of, "Uhh don't mean to be rude but there's already an RA Amino so :/ That's kind of a kick in the dick."

Redrose posted a photo on her story of an Amino invite card to the second RA Amino. But guess who's a leader on the first? This bitch!

I thought it rude or whatever. I was stupid and honestly? Dead fucking wrong.

Here's the screenshot:

That's me. Want to know how Redrose handled this? Fucking beautifully. Wanna know what I did? I was a dick. I went on my art account on Instagram and messaged the Amino invite card to her, no explanation. I don't think she ever put it up. And you know what? Good. Because then I continued to kiss her ass after I realized my Instagram name could be tracked to the watermark on the art posted on my Tumblr account.

Redrose couldn't have missed that watermark. But who know what she did? She didn't say a word. She made the connection of uncanny-accuracy to LowReihn. But like a mature, responsible adult, she didn't say shit.

Next up, we have my main Insta account! Who has no connection to any RA related stuff. But Redrose posted on Instagram a picture of John Flanagan's United States tour dates. I saw one of them was close to me so, because I couldn't find any info, I asked her if SHE could take time out of HER day to help me. I don't know if she was busy, but she did hunt down the info and she posted it for me, no complaints.

It's because of her that I'm meeting Flanagan on the 28th. Without her, I would've never known he was so close. She prioritized me. And yeah, sure, my main Insta has no connection to LowReihn, but she still did it.

Redrose is always answering asks, responding to comments, not just posting RA content to entertain but RA content to help others. Wanna learn about the Ranger knives? She's got you. Wanna know tour dates? She's got you. Wanna know more about a meetup or larp group? She's got you.

So let's move onto the Middle Ages stuff. Redrose made a comment that she didn't find Trans Alyss realistic because the stories are set in the Middle Ages. My opinion? She's right. That's not even an opinion. She's right. She's speaking fact. But that's not to say she's going against the LGBTQ+ community, because she's not.

Speaking as a nonbinary pansexual, I'm going to basically repeat what Redrose said. And y'all can't tell me I'm homophobic or transphobic or whatever, because I'm literally a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Ranger's Apprentice is set in the Middle Ages. Yes, it's fantasy, but it is still set in that time. LBGTQ+ was not openly expressed because it was wrong back then. Honestly? You would've been killed. Alyss being male to female isn't realistic, but I’m not against it. Redrose isn’t either. If RA was set in more modern times, then yeah. It could work well. But the fact remains that it's in the Middle Ages. Alyss would've been killed if she was trans. The same goes for anyone who's found to be gay, lesbian, bisexual (not that they knew what that was), etc.

Sure, characters could be a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Redrose isn't saying they can't be. I'm not staying that either. Will could be pan. Crowley could be gay or ace. Halt could be demi. Who knows? Only Flanagan! But they'll all written as straight because it's the Middle Ages.

Redrose is not against the LGBTQ+ community. And coming from someone who is a part of that community, I don't see why y'all are butthurt. I like headcanoning the characters as a gay or pan or trans or whatever. Both of us are just saying that it’s not really that accurate, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it or that we’re going to attack you. Because frankly? I’ve draw Halt x Crowley before. Redrose is a fan of Cralt and Will x Gilan, last I checked. I’m sure Crowley x Duncan is one she’s mentioned too.

Redrose has dealt with my shit on multiple occasions and continues to be nice to me whenever I reach out. And if she sees this and knows all my accounts now, then good. Because it isn't gonna change the way she responds to me. She'll continue answering when I ask questions. She'll continue being a decent human being, because she is a decent human being. Just like nothing happened, she'll be mature and honest and marvelously patient. She's a beautiful person inside and out.

Unlike you guys who attacked her. So let's sit back and think.

Who's the real monster here? Because it sure as hell ain’t Redrose.

Dear God, Jesus, and whomever else

Hello again,

I think at this point we're past introduction but, I know we're not the greatest of friends. At this point, let's consider this like a friend who's hanging with the bestie for brunch. I wanted to sit here like usual and selfishly talk about my problems in hopes you'll rub my back and tell me everything's gonna be alright. <--- I know this mf but, hey you stay a friend nevertheless and give me my chance to speak and you know even if I don't say thank you, I appreciate your company.

This seems to be one of those classic situations of glass half empty/half full scenarios where we all should have something to appreciate cause shit could be worse right??? right..... But I'm not going to lie these past few storms I've perused through have been the equivalent of riding through a full power car wash with my windows down and my sunroof open... Please Pleaseee don't take this as a complaint because I'm not trying to see a hole in the DIngy I'm sailing in right now but, know this is not a cry for a Jeff Bezos Yacht either. I do love some parts of this journey: My love, my daughter, my crew, etc... I just can't find that spark anymore. This world is falling as some said it would and I know I can't be the only one who seems to worry let alone seems to notice..

I sometimes wanna be honest with you and say I feel like my creation was to be a conduit for other peoples irrationalities and problems and bullshit, but due to the upward changes I made for myself I now see that we do in fact choose even though it may not seem like a choice. That um... guilt when you do realize you barely got enough room to carry your own burdens, but you see yourself falling in between the cracks and have to pay your attention to what is your responsibility and what you CHOOSE your responsibility to be... is a bitch honestly. like... love really hasn't been the love. you find yourself secretly jealous at what could've been as every birthday pass and every follicle now grays with a bit of wisdom and you become fucking frustrated.... yet you see these morons do get paid to speak..

Could it be my morality for this truth is the main reason why the w-2 never comes in the mail? or is this all supposed to be a point of showing me a greater gift? Yet those sins...those burdens, those moments you decide I'm going to let this shit go but my way... be the main reasons you could never prosper in the first place? why though? Why does it feel like when a person owes me my space, my apology, my way, I have to grant a safe fucking passage? Why does turning the other cheeks only give a person more space to smack another slab mark on my skin? What am I not understanding here? I mean.... I walk with the people who refutes change and can go by day to day docile and spread hope, I make the effort when there are those who don't deserve the dirt off my shoes to see where I've traveled, I have changed to become more human... or at least I think...

I keep sending this invite to this brunch and general meeting of the minds and you keep rsvp-ing, not showing up and I end up taking the meal home in a carry-out, you can't reheat sushi... Just saying the tone is room temp. At what cost does understanding someone really come in? I've traveled here on foot to make this apparent the blessing I see in this. to wake up and look at the dirty water that flows through my backyard which is a better sight for her eyes rather than what mines seen and even then it wasn't the worst but it was the best my people had at the time. I shouldn't have to sit here night after night placing 2 3 dozen job applications into places that's damn near on the corner sucking dick for someone to come one and apply and get rejected, yet if I wanna waste my fucking time and feed my family off some petty $11, $12 an hour shit that won't even break $300 bucks by the end of the week ohhh there all day baby!!!

I shouldn't have to risk my safety and drive somewhere in the middle of a blizzard and on a highway of ice to a place that don't even take my dedication seriously and magically fuck my schedule up every damn week and no one's there to call and whole days missing off the paycheck, 40 mins deducted to eat shit and rest, and quota overrules your status.

God....Jesus and you whomever I know maybe I need to give this more life, Maybe I need to work harder and recant what I said but, I can't. I can't hide what I'm feeling, I can't hide the messes I've cleaned up and those nights you sent my love to keep me humble and warm... Guys I'm trynna to be better and I'm not asking for it to be handed, I'm asking you where to start....

Anyway, the mimosa's here are fucking delicious...

Amen

#dear god #dear jesus #dear whomever #i want to change #im praying #life's a mess #keep swimming
