sdfdfdgfds anyway i got to the "u can feel the lust to kill in ur flesh" mistranslation of madara's reaction to the rinne tensei resurrection last night. its so funny. german translators are madara sadist truthers 👍
ageswap au made by @tenretsuzan on twitter! there's a brief explanation beneath the readmore
your name is hikari ku, age 30. you were banished from your home nation of ku at a young age and led a failed rebellion against your treacherous brother, laid low by a harsh betrayal.
"even if it means harnessing this darkness... i will see my country freed from war."
marred by scars left by your once erstwhile friends and plagued by a darkness that grows uncontrollable, you grasp onto the small hope that you may one day reclaim your nation once more...
-
your name is temenos mistral, age 21. you led a peaceful life in flamechurch until one day your brother disappears after leaving you with an ominous message about the church.
"roi... what could have led someone like you down a path like this?"
despite your father's protests, you follow after his footsteps in hopes of uncovering his whereabouts, as well as the church's secrets that forced his departure...
There are SO many cool interactions and lore things we can look forward to now that Rubius says he'll come back to QSMP (not only as an angel / demon, but potentially as a human too!), but that little detail reminded me of something:
Even though q!Vegetta and q!Rubius were mutually interested in each other wayyyy back in the beginning of the series, as an Angel / Demon, Rubius said he can't have relationships with humans because it's against the rules.
But a bit ago on stream, Rubius said that he's thinking about having a "human" side so he can build and do more things on the server as a regular player. I'm excited because this means he can have more casual interactions with people and we can see him interacting with his friends more (and he can experience The Horrors), but also...
I think we're in for some very interesting drama in the next few weeks.*
* ( Assuming Rubius doesn't get harassed off the server by toxic shippers and weird fans of the Eggs again. Please be nice to Rubius and welcome him back kindly, he's a very cool guy and his character is SO interesting )
people need to be more normal about ian flynn it feels like the only opinions people have about him on here are either "i fucking hate ian flynn hes actively destroying the sonic franchise and i hope he drops dead tomorrow" or "i love ian flynn and im going to worship the ground he walks on and act like hes the only person responsible for recent sonic media being good" with no in between. wheres the rest of the "i think ian flynn is a good writer and hes done good things for the franchise in recent years but i dont agree with every single thing hes ever tried to do with the characters and he is just some guy to me" gang
『願いよ響け』 is the name of the song that Malleus, Idia, and Azul perform together at the end of the Glorious Masquerade event. (The song title can be translated as "Let my wish resound!", but I've seen people in the EN side of the fandom have also been calling it "Make a Wish", so call it what you may.)
Below is my take at translating the lyrics! And I've also put some notes in my tags.
夜明けに怯えて 幾度と願う
ひとりぼっちの空に別れと
愛の救いを
Fearing the dawn to come, I make my wish again and again
One wish to bid farewell to that lonely sky
And another for the salvation of love
祈りは遠く
紅蓮を照らして
My prayers, so far away
Shine down on that distant blaze of crimson
鐘よ響け 僕の願いを運んで
今日も温かな夢 高く手を伸ばして
Let the bells resound!
Let their echoes carry with them my heart's desires
Today, as well, I had that same warm dream
And now I lift up my hands, reaching out so high above
ああ もし許されるのなら
喜び 悲しみ 共に生きよう
Ahh, and if it's truly alright
Then let us go through life together, in joy and in sorrow
輝く人の声 満ちている笑顔
どうか僕に 光よ導け
The voices of the people shine, their faces brimming with smiles
I ask of you, O Light! Please, guide them to me!
焦がれてた素晴らしい朝へ
目覚めたら歩き出そう
僕の夢とともに
Once I awake, let us set forth together
Hand in hand with my dreams
Towards that glorious morning I’ve so longed for
鐘よ響け 僕の願いを運んで
今日も華やぐ街に 胸を踊らせてる
Let the bells resound!
Let their echoes carry with them my heart's desires
Today, as well, my heart leaps for joy
Here in this radiant city
ああ いま 美しく咲いた
喜び 悲しみ 皆で歌おう
Ah, and now it has bloomed so beautifully
In joy and in sorrow, let us all sing together
眩しく夢に見た 分かち合う愛を
どうか僕に 光よ導け
未来(あした)へ
O Light! Please, bring my love to me!
Oh, how it shone in my dreams, the love that we shared
Given that a lot of characters in Ben 10 speak their language without being translated into English, do you think that their language is so common that it's assumed you - supposedly an intergalactic traveler - have whatever language it is as part of your first, second or other languages that it was an oversight (depending on if the Omnitrix has a universal translator or not, one even Azmuth overlooked because something something that one comic about 'the basics to an expert look like advanced knowledge to a newbie') to not include a translation pack for those languages?
Like imagine if Sotoragg (or whatever specific Sotoragg language SixSix and the copycats speaks) is like one of the more common language, if not the MOST common language, of the interplanetarily recognised languages. Whether it's predominantly first language or someone's second language (Mandarin beats out English on first language alone, but countries that predominantly speak English are also predominantly monolingual, English has more second language speakers that pulls ahead), I don't know, but if Tetrax Shard - one of if not the last petrosapien - can understand SixSix while we as the viewer stuck without the knowledge of whatever Sotoragg language he's speaking, maybe it had to be one of the languages he had to learn because guess what Petropian languages aren't very lively now are they!?
Vent post. Because i feel like kicking a hornets' nest.
Honestly im just tired of how people will call someone ignorant/uneducated and will go for the throat for every little thing, while they themselves say shit like pierogis all the time. If you're going to point fingers at others, you yourself should be without fault.
all in all im still a hater of the one widespread english translation of kiss of the spider woman (book) but i dont like the movie all that much so i guess ill just tell people to read the book and like . take it with a grain of salt ←just googled this expression idk if its correct. but its a really good book so everyone should read it one way or another
