some (extremely) quick doodles to celebrate the glorious return of glorious masquerade! I haven't had a chance to do much personal drawing lately, but I didn't want to let it go by without doing something!

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #glorious masquerade #every time they do a rerun event they should make everyone's hats bigger #i feel that this should be true of every game #i think eng might be getting it this year? if so someone PLEASE tell me if they keep the 'be cool' line #the only localization that matters to me #meanwhile aside from foxman and catboy our halloween event this year is shrouded in mystery #i know they want to do a big fancy announcement and i am looking forward to it! #but it is pretty hilarious to look at the schedule and see basically just 'halloween event 2023 - wait for the abema' #look twst i just want to know if i need to save my keys or if i can waste them all in another bid at masquerade malleus #how pretty are the cards going to be. i need to know.

It's been six months since Forever called Phil "Philza senpai" and got a (virtual) kiss.

#Philza #ForeverPlayerG #Forever Player #QSMP #Sugarduo #Forever #Phil #I'm not interested in sugarduo as a ship (one sided sugarduo is very funny to me though) #But their IRL and in-game friendship means the frickin WORLD to me dude #Forever was the first Brazilian streamer I got attached to and mannnn #it went from 0 to 100 in SECONDS #I'll be honest the first thing that got me was the day after the Brazilians arrived #when Phil was talking to Chat and telling us Forever messaged him after the event and asked him if he was ok with the flirting #since he didn't want to make Phil uncomfortable #and I was like ''Oh. Forever is a sweetheart.'' #And then the thing that REALLY got me was when Forever talked to Chayanne and Tallulah privately #and he asked them if they / Phil needed help with their Egg tasks #(At the time their schedules weren't matching up with Phil's stream schedule so it was hard to get all their tasks done during the week) #and then Chayanne threatened Forever saying he'd kill Forever if he ever did anything weird to their family #and Forever smiled in a very fond ''that's good; this is a good kid; I'm glad he's standing up for his family'' way #And I was like ''Oh he's REALLY a sweetheart'' #His reaction after Tallulah + Bobby's death was hook line and sinker for me too #I could go on and on about Forever.

How are we feeling about ensekai’s emu3 translation!!! (I’m mad)

(if you remember the 3 whole posts i made when asahi got de-gayed on EN you'll know i am mad too and that this is probably going to get long)

i don't like to be too cynical but it was so obvious that they were going to change that line, i had a feeling since the event first released on JP and after the incident with Asahi where I went through and tracked down multiple other examples of EN removing queer subtext it became clear to me that in no way shape or form was "emu-chan really loves nene-chan" making it to EN without getting changed. what i didn't expect was them changing Nene's line after Luka's comment, which actually makes this whole situation far worse than many of their other instances of toning down queer subtext.

for anyone who isn't aware of what happened, in chapter 5 of the current Emu event, there's a scene where Nene, Rui and the Virtual Singers are talking about what would cheer Emu up. The vsingers all talk about how much Emu loves spending time with Nene, leading to the following exchange

If you look for them, any fan TL of this scene will be something similar to this:

Luka: ...Fufu. Emu-chan really loves Nene-chan, doesn't she? Nene: Th-that's nothing special...

EN's official translation is this:

So what's the issue? I'll start with Luka's part. In the original text, she uses the word daisuki, which can mean to "like a lot" or "love". It's a word you will see frequently in the idol/idol-adjacent genre of games, due to its ambiguity in that it can be read as either platonic or romantic when used towards a person, and often will be used in ambiguous situations so that it's harder to confirm the writers' intentions either way. so here, fans of the emu/nene ship could view the fact that emu loves spending her time with nene as more on the romantic side, but people who don't like the ship could view it as platonic and move on.

while they didn't translate daisuki directly, Luka's line still works, and still contains the ambiguity that works as ship tease in the original text. it's a perfectly fine localisation that still conveys the original intent. despite that, there is something to be said about EN's consistent refusal to translate daisuki as love in most instances when it's not used on An/Kohane (but then again, EN has literally teased An/Kohane on their twitter account so is it all that surprising?).

Here's some examples:

Aibou no koto ga daisuki de / he loves his partner -> he cares about his partner very much (The Power of Unity chapter 7 when Kaito is comparing Arata to Akito and Toya)

HARUKA-CHAN, DAISUKI DAYOOOO!!! / HARUKA-CHAN, I LOOOOOVEEE YOU!!! -> You're the best!!! (Dear Me, As I Was Back Then chapter 4 when minori is at an ASRUN concert. this one isn't actually that great of a localisation)

Honachan no koto daisuki dakara. Kore de iinda yo. / I love Honachan, so this is fine. -> I want what's best for her. And this is it. (Leo/need main story chapter 14 after Saki tells Honami she won't bother her anymore)

Minna daisuki de - taisetsuna tomodachi na no / I love them all - they're my dearest friends -> They're all amazing, and very dear to me. (Leo/need main story chapter 17. this isn't good either)

What's particularly amusing about that last one is that there's a second official translation for it that I assume was done by JP staff (since EN never promoted doing the Journey to Bloom subs like they did back when they provided subs for Petit SEKAI) that actually keeps the word daisuki as love.

Yeah. I love all my friends - and they mean the world to me.

It's a better localisation than the official EN team one.

Questionable localisation choices aside, Luka's line is fine and is actually in line with the original. The issue with this localisation very much lies with Nene's part, because that is an entirely new line.

In the original text, Nene's "that's just normal" or "that's nothing special" or however you choose to TL it, is meant to be her questioning Luka's statement, since all the things that the other vsingers said that Emu liked were pretty normal things like going shopping and playing video games with nene. To Nene, these things are normal activities for them to do together, so she gets embarrassed by the fact that Luka concludes from that information that Emu loves Nene. When I dissect it like that I think you can really tell what the writers were going for here lol.

"That's just us being friends" does still convey the idea that Nene thinks these activities aren't anything out of the ordinary and she isn't sure why the vsingers are picking these out as some of Emu's favorite things to do, but it's very different from the original line. "But those are just normal things we do together" is something I just came up with on the spot, but it's a lot closer to the original text and still conveys the same meaning. The fact they changed the line to "that's just us being friends" is, honestly, not even subtle that they're covering up queer subtext. The original scene was very clearly written in as ship tease, and EN mentioning "friends" for no reason, especially since the word nor anything close to it was not used in the original, is instantly a red flag because it's like the go-to for queerbaiting and censorship. This was intentional. There was no need for them to specify that the relationship is platonic, Luka's part is ambiguous for a reason so that fans can view it how they like.

Just to top all this off, here's Rin's original line just before that Luka+Nene interaction:

Oh, and! And! She said that playing games with Nene-chan is also super fun!

And here's Rin's line from the official EN translation:

That's not the same thing, but even more weirdly, the incorrect part (super fun->really loves) is a correct translation for the part changed in Luka's line. So, they can do it, they are willing to say "really loves", just not in the right places. Maybe because Rin's part is less personal than Luka's part? It's strange actually, this isn't the first time they've done this either. Off the top of my head I can think of an example from Shiho's Varied Kindness 2* story where they translated the word "suki" as really loves, despite that being much stronger than the original word used (and the fact that daisuki is used a lot in the Leo/need stories and it's incredibly rare if not entirely unknown for them to translate it correctly).

It's not subtle that they're trying to remove implications of the characters possibly being queer, they did it in curtain call and they did it in walk on and on, and multiple times before then too. And considering some of the content in this year's events and the amount of times they say daisuki alone, it's gonna keep happening. honestly i hate the fact that i keep trying to justify the translations in these posts. these translations are intentional. what happened in the curtain call translation back in october says enough. when a character who uses explicitly romantic language towards another guy passes as a straight character in the translation you know they're doing it on purpose.

oh and once again, it's only the EN server that has this issue. The scene in question was translated almost word-for-word on the TW and KR servers.

read fan translations. they're better than what EN gives us and people put a lot of effort into them.

#since the EN translation qualifies as a leak i am scheduling this to post when the event drops #asks #mod talks #i'm going to leave this in the tags because i don't want to make the post any longer #but something that's been really annoying to see recently on twt has been the gradual uptick of players saying that there's no queer #characters/subtext/etc in the game outside mizuki being trans. and i do wonder if EN's consistent habit of toning down #or outright removing moments of heavy subtext and other more ambiguous shiptease moments has anything to do with it. #that or people live under a rock because even EN keeps most of An and Kohane's relationship intact and there's still plenty of #moments that were impossible to edit or tone down due to being plot relevant or being part of longer interactions that wouldn't make sense #if part of it was changed. like the An wedding event. #eh maybe people are just ignorant. #but anyway it does bug me immensely that EN-only players are getting a censored version of the game. it's 2024. staff can do better. #also like i mentioned in the part about rin. they /add in/ things occasionally. so why the hell are they removing so much?

[theminecraftbee]

it never ceases being amazing how much the card game is just... hermit catnip. joe logs on and goes "i'm willing to referee some games" and then suddenly, as though manifested from the ether, there are four other hermits AT LEAST on the call with him. like, they just appear for the siren song of cool card game. if this is how they are with ONE collectable game they're gonna just explode once decked out is done,

#hermitcraft #i mean right NOW this was a pre-planned scheduled event #although joe had basically only gotten 'maybes' and 'this is scheduled' doesn't mean hermits actually show up lol #so it counts for the 'card games are catnip' list

[ourlittleuluru]

Okay, I did see the announcements for the new banners on the day itself but didn't have time to post anything about it...

I do see some people asking why no Xavier kisses but, hear me out. Imagine no Xavier kisses for all the cards. But then his birthday one comes out, and it ends up being the most sweetest of kisses? Man.

Can say goodbye to my soul o7

Anyway, the amount of comfiness with the new card is just 👌 It's so domestic, I am lovin' it~ (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Look at how cute he is, leaning on the knees and just staring. Ugh. Muh heart.

Aside from that. This bunny. Look at it. It's even more cute. And the rendering on the embroidery of the cloth??? Dayum, is the rendering of the game insaneeeeee

Please let this be a merch I can get irl somewhere. It's so cuteeee and it's got the blue eyes too 😭

(Also the new battle pass... and it's Xavier too. RIP. Imma pray hard I get his gacha with the 75% c': But i think it's all used up with the new FF7 rebirth Kuji atm... I really don't need more money flying off at this moment)

#xavier love and deepspace #love and deepspace #xavier #shen xinghui #churambles #despite all the hype #I really hope PG does implement the suggestions for the gacha and the scheduling of events tho... #there's WAY too many back to back gacha banners #i get there's 3 LIs #but it's way too quick and often it's tiring #even as a player who's solely and purely pulling any Xavier banners and skipping all others #it's still too soon and i can feel the 2nd hand exhaustion from the other players #but i mean the current mini game events are all great tho #super cute and simple to play #straight forward #could have more interactions to do in the events but for an otome that i think??? is aimed a lot at working OLs #it's pretty well done

[dilfsdotnet]

tl;dr here's my thoughts on the game awards this year

#pizza tower #the game awards #not gonna go too in-depth with it bc i'm legitimately so pissed off and i don't wanna subject you all to that but GOD. #this is why i never fucking watch these kinds of events #anyways 🥰 back to your regularly scheduled programming on this blog #jasedits

[0ann3]

Waking up at 2am and opening youtube to have this as the first thing I see-

#ensemble stars #enstars #eichi tenshouin #niki shiina #madara mikejima #natsume sakasaki #hajime shino #doodle #april fools event #otome game or shoujo is not the first thing that came to mind as their possible theme #but idk what I'm expecting for this year's april fools anyway LMAO #I think anything is possible after Tori during ensemble training #Anyway #me not going along with my supposed schedule/plans for today #there's the prosekai april fools too and I think I wanna draw a certain group too KAJHSAKSJh #I already had to do this in a rush since I got exams so I might redraw this once I have nothing else to do/draw

THE ASK KEEPS RESETTING AND REMOVING WHAT I WRITE.

So I’m putting my shit here 😊👍👍 (thank you for the ask @justeplume)

“How good is your Narrator at socializing?”

Horrible. Let me explain.

He doesn’t try to get attached to people anymore. He prefers to analyze them. He wants to make sure they won’t affect his game too much if they find their way into it. Or wants to see how much of a threat level they are. So therefore, he doesn’t socialize. AND IF HE DID SOCIALIZE—

He’d end up messing up a lot. He’s guarded himself from becoming close with people due to what it made him do years ago (lore no wayyy), and if affected how he’s able to interact with others. He’s blunt, snappy, and always has a scowl on his face. I feel like he’d be known as “The Grinch” of Narrators or something. If he really does try to put effort into talking, he’ll just not be able to function and stare with a grimace and give a few occasional “yes, “no”, or grunts. Then he’ll leave as soon as possible.

He really doesn’t need to socialize with anyone anyways. It’s all just useless. It can’t help him, it’ll only hurt him. That’s all that people have ever done. Hurt him, hurt him. He doesn’t need friends, or people to talk to. He only needs his game and his books.

(narrators featured here are @how-is-this-taken and @rick-ety)

#he only goes to events if he needs a change of scenery or ideas for his game #he needs his game #he’s desperate for the game to be safe #that’s what caused him to )$&9000000000000000. years ago #tsp #the stanley parable #tspud #tsp narrator #tsp au #the stanley parable narrator #tsp lore #narrator tsp #narratorverse #the narrator tsp #tspud narrator #this took forever #ITS TWO AM #AAHGFGGRRGG #but i love answering questions about my AU or TSP characters 🤭 #so fuck my sleep schedule #info post #but seriously i think that people would avoid him cuz of how he acts or smthn #also don’t worrrryyyy you’ll find out what happened eventually 😏

Man, I had to jump through some gaddamn HOOPS just to attend the art party tonight. Two hours late, even. I was lucky there were still people there. :c

I had time for like. One goodish drawing of someone. Sorry it's still messy.

In my imagination there's a Black Sails video game where Silver is the player character and as you get further into it there start to be glitches where you click a dialogue/action option and he does something else, and at the very end after the final boss at Skeleton Island your last choice is what to do with Flint and when you decide the game suddenly crashes and self-deletes every single file except for one .txt that just says 'you know of me all I can bear to be known.'

#at the point in the game that he loses his leg all of the controls switch places #so you have to re-learn how to function as a player along with him #Nassau is full of all sorts of side-quests and minigames #you actually have to memorize the schedule and its timed #you can walk up to the fruit-fruit tits-tits paintings and play 'find the differences' for points #you can buy hints from max for in-game money #anything involving cooking is disproportionately much more difficult and complicated than the entire rest of the game #the stories Silver tells to improve the charisma stat are based on items and events you come across in-game #god someone give me millions of dollars to make this #black sails #john silver

#da timing worked out w my work schedule so i #just booked a ticket 2 an event 2nite #dat i thought was gonna b a slightly more relaxed game night type thing #cuz it’s an arcade/board game cafe n a bar all in one kinda thing #but now i’m lookin at pics from da previous time dis event was held #same venue same organizers etcetc #n it looks like a PARTY party😭 #now i’m scared!!!!!😭 #cuz i’m goin alone :0 #m1n3 #m1sc

i think being a game dev would be good for me because its be able to keep my attention in ways other medias don't because when I'm tired of writing i draw and when i don't want to draw i like modding games and then when i don't want to play games anymore i write so. so maybe its possible??

#sophie speaks #and honestly teratoquest is pretty easy when i think of it coding wise #the hardest part would be events/stats/schedules and the combat system but that's like. way easier than my other ideas I've had #and i could build up to it #chat what do you think should i try and make a monster fucking yandere game #i think maybe i was put on this earth to do just that honestly #my life has been perfectly built up to this point to have some really strange tastes and no job
