[butwhatifidothis]

So, why do some people who love Crimson Flower always go on about how the English translation is pure evil? Because they always say that "oh, Treehouse hated Edelgard," but they never do a side-by-side comparison of why the English translaton is significantly more pro-Dimitri and anti-Edelgard (notice who they leave out in that) than the Japanese script.

From what I've seen, it seems to come from early fandom interpretations of 3H saying that it was "mistranslated to make Edelgard look worse" that came from people who, uh. Primarily didn't actually speak Japanese, or otherwise had a fairly severe misunderstanding of it.

You'll see this with pretty much every big-name event that is claimed to have been "mistranslated" in general. The AM parley, the Continue To Kill no u, Faerghus Toxic Masculinity, and "the Dream Interview calls her an antagonist not a villain" are the Big 4 of this thing happening, and all four of them have been thoroughly debunked as nonsense by people who actually speak and understand Japanese. That's probably why the actual MAJORITY of events that get the "this was mistranslated to make Edelgard look worse" card don't actually have that side-by-side comparison you mention (since there's WAY more smaller things that they say this about, for example Dimitri was TOTALLY JOKING with Edelgard during Gronder 1 and TOTALLY WASN'T freaked the fuck out at her "jokes"), because the people who claim this are 0-4 on being correct about this for four of the most important examples of this supposedly happening.

So they'll kinda just say anything is Totally A Mistranslation in the hopes that the English-speaking fandom who for the most part don't speak Japanese will believe them, and through that believe them on what the game is "actually" trying to say. With that being, of course, that Edelgard was completely and utterly right about literally actually factually every single thing she has ever said in the game ever and literally actually factually every single other person who disagrees with her is completely and utterly wrong (unless what they're saying is, of course, in alignment with what Edelgard is saying).

And if anyone who actually knows what they're talking about comes in and corrects them - even nicely! - they'll either go on about how everyone is coming after them (read: people who understand Japanese are correcting someone who doesn't understand Japanese about something that exclusively revolves around understanding Japanese), or they'll accuse that person of being a liar/sexist/homophobic POS who just wants the poor little gay bean that is Edelgard to be pure and utter evil since they totally view all gay women to be pure and utter evil.

All this, from what I can gather, is mostly to serve as a justification as to why they like Edelgard since they view liking her as a villain to be a genuine mark of bad character, for some reason. They want to believe that she's the progressive figure who does everything for the little guy for one reason or another, and so grab for any excuse they can give her they can think of to make their interpretation of her not seem so unfounded against all of the evidence Edelgard provides the player that she really is just an imperialist who doesn't really give a shit about her people if doing so gives even the slightest bump to her goal of forceful unification. All because daring to like villains is just soooo baaaaad lmao

#ask #anon #anti edelgard #anti-edelgard #edelgard critical #edelgard discourse #just to be safe #oh noooo i spelled out Edelgard's name in tags meant to be blacklisted can't wait for this post to be screencapped on Twitter lmao #anyway. #it's why they so often BLOW THE FUCK UP on people who like Rhea - they see her as an ontological villain so anyone who likes her must be ba #same with Dimitri and why he has ''manpain'' instead of trauma and ''toxic masculinity'' instead of mental illness #and why they can't fuckin' decide on where Claude slots in since he agrees with Edelgard on something but still stands against her #which is why you get either Edelgard's Cool POC Friend or Satan for him #because villains are bad and liking villains is bad so people who like villains are bad #so Edelgard CAN'T be a villain because then they'd be bad people for doing the Bad Action of liking a villain #hence them making up mistranslations that ~totally prove~ that Edelgard isn't a villain #(while they ignore all of the ACTUAL mistranslations that show off how much more blatantly villainous she is in the JPN version) #not the first time this sort of thing's happened in fandom it's just always annoying when it happens

I Believe...Steddie

I normally don't mind angst (though I avoid drama fics in general). Miscommunication is the biggest trope in romance, so I'm all for it, but for some reason Steve x Eddie fics / drabbles where Eddie still thinks of Steve as Steve THE KING Harrington always sit weirdly for me. Sometimes, if the Upside Down didn't happen (AUs in general) or pre-UD setting, maybe -- sure, then that could work. But close to canon fics where Eddie lives and Steve legit confesses to him? Always just -- strikes me as wrong.

Finally realized why -- it's literally the antithesis of canon Eddie. Canon! Eddie is quick to acknowledge Steve has changed. He literally runs up to him in the Upside Down while a bunch of madness is happening and where he has every right to be consumed by his own shit-tastic situation, but instead, he's telling Steve how he is a great guy and has changed.

Can Eddie be bitchy and prejudice? Yes.

Does Eddie have grudges against jocks / the popular crowd? Yes.

But he also goes full on bowing gentlemen for cheerleaders (going out of his way to help Chrissy and make her smile) and he's quick to acknowledge Steve's not that same popular AH anymore.

With Steve's bitchiness not aimed at him, Eddie would be eating his Honeycomb and snickering when old habits popped back up, and maybe he'd feel conflicted about jocky Steve, complaining about going to games or something until somebody smacked some sense into him. Totally believe tension and disbelief about one liking the other or some bias about things, but I just can't see Steve proclaiming his love or whatever and Eddie assuming it is a trap or trick or prank or something.

Maybe he'd think Steve was confused. Maybe he'd assume they were doomed, but I can't see him blaming Steve for that or blowing up their relationship IF Eddie accepted the confession and they started dating. Eddie's way more down on himself.

If someone can explain how it makes sense, please do. I'd love to enjoy all Steddie tropes, and that one seems popular lately, but where my brain sees so many problems with them getting to the confession point or even a number of big arguments that could happen afterward due to outside aspects, those two strike me as highly tactile, highly clingy romantics who would be convinced they were the height of discrete while practically fused, constantly touching and being snide little judgy dudes together.

#steddie #Steve x Eddie #Eddie Munson #Stranger Things #Only way Eddie doesn't see how Steve's changed is if the Upside Down doesn't exist but then Steve might not have changed #the second Steve asks him out Eddie is 100% in #won't accept anything different #Eddie is a drama king but he's the the sort to be clingy and pushy and cause problems by being too tactile and obvious in a homophobic town #which is why I 100% believe fics where Eddie and Steve fight over Steve refusing to come out or leave Hawkins #Despite also 100% believing Eddie would understand #frankly I fall for all the tropes EXCEPT Eddie not believing (in a canon compliant Upside Down having universe)that Steve has changed #where are my double date fics with Eddie and Steve taking out two girls only to get dumped because they spent more time chatting themselves #What about the fics where Eddie sets Steve up with a metalhead girl only for Steve to be like 'wow I'm super into this' #but then he realizes partway through he is 100% imaging she's Eddie #Or Steve setting up Eddie on a double date only to have a 'oh no I fucked up' moment as he realizes halfway through that he loves Eddie #Steve: Cool Eddie might score (*and it was at that moment he realizes he fucked up) I don't want Eddie to score #Give me hooking up duo who 'just like making out' and 'just aren't ready to get back out there yet' who feel pressured to do so #and they end up throwing hands over it and banging #Eddie: So...that happened. | Steve: Do you think Dustin was right? | Eddie: No way that butthead is right. | Steve: But what if he is? #Eddie: Obviously we can't tell him. | Steve: But we can still make out right? | Eddie: Fuck yeah #Give me dumb bets between guys friends inspired by Steve trying to relate to Eddie like he used to Tommy

been stalking the cherik fandom for a few months now and have concluded that while I will rewatch the movies over and over, go through the entire tag on ao3, maybe draw some art and love them dearly, I do not want to get involved in the fandom whatsoever because it seems like majority of the time it's just people arguing whether Erik or Charles was wrong and hating on the opposition

Musical Touken Ranbu: Tokyo Kokoro Oboe english sub

I know this isn’t the TsuruKara Souki you were expecting, but on the plus side, neither was I expecting this! Since I’m watching this with a friend soon, I figured, why not? It is very high up in my faves list, after all 🥺

Following my predecessors, the start of the subtitles has a little intro blurb on each of the historical figures, and I’m also planning on making a little research file in which I’ll try to explain a few things about Masakado and horses, Masakado and Kikyou, Ota Dokan and the yamabuki (Japanese kerria) girl, and some details about Tenkai as person and his planning of Edo as city.

I’m also planning to include some translation notes (specifically on ほころび・る hokorobi/ru because that deserves to be mentioned) in the file, some interpretations on the girl with the Noh mask, and a few fun facts about how each of the historical figures relates to Inari or foxes. Because in the context of the roles Suishinshi and the Gous get given throughout TKO, as well as the themes present in it, it may be interesting to keep a certain little fox in the back of your mind while watching!

Keep in mind that this is only the subtitle file, timed and tled to the DMM archive distribution.

You can download the subs for the DMM archive distribution here,

and with lots of thanks to a friend, the subs for the BD/DVD version can be found here!

The research file will be able to be found here too, at a later date.

#touken ranbu #Tokyo Kokoro Oboe #toumyu #Water's translations #'where's Kogi in all this' is one of my favourite questions to ask in TKO tbh ngl #and not in a haha 'kon kon kon.../knock knock knock...' kind of way #though I do really appreciate Mikazuki's name melts into Kogi's in the names section #I'd love to think that tsuwamono had meaning-- that kotobuki had meaning! #that Kogitsunemaru hasn't disappeared from Mikazuki's side after tsuwamono established that even if he can't do time crimes with him #he will still gladly eat chagashi with him. And that he won't allow Mikazuki to use that sweetness as bribe to get away from his duties-- #to get away from staying by Kogitsunemaru's side. #Also considering Kogitsunemaru in utaawase and by extension Inari light is super cool bc he's one of the most supernatural swords out there #through him being smithed by Inari he's half repairs and also Legit Foxy at the same time that Inari is a god the *people* made popular #on top of that!! Kogitsunemaru is!! *literally* a noh song-- he's given his shape because Kokaji exists- because the people sing of #the little fox that helped Sanjou Munechika out and the name 'Kogitsune' engraved on the back as gratitude towards that incarnation of Inari #so why is it Sui who gets to carry that weight? #why is it Sui who recognises Mika has gone too far and needs to be saved- who admits Mika's crimes to Master when Kogi's kept them secret- #when Kogi knows what Mika does and isn't gonna take bull from him? #why is it the Gous that Mikazuki entrusts to be the bridge between human and non-human when Kogi should be right by his side? #when utaawase happened? When Kogi said he wouldn't commit time crimes but never excluded helping him in ways that don't break their mission? #why is it that the existential message-- being existent so long someone calls your name- or whether flowers songs and feelings aren't a part #of history if they're not passed down like objects or writing or *swords* (they are)- what'll remain of a sword if you lose your name-- #falls on Sui when Kogi is literally given a shape by his song engraving his name? #also the girl is wearing a *Noh* mask TT-TT #anyway sorry for the rambling I just feel Kogi is Painfully absent in TKO when he Should be in there given past myu and it hurts ;-; #I hope past myus had meaning and he'll return.

So many bros viscerally angry about the mpreg storyline in the comics right now in which Zatanna curses Joker and he gets pregnant, and this is why dudebros don't deserve comics.

#joker #zatanna #mpreg #if you can think of it comics have probably done it #if you can't handle weird storylines in comics you're not a real comicbook fan #they saw a headline and assumed they made Joker into a gay trans man #which frankly would be cool #because it would help explain why his true identity is so obscure #but yeah no #he just hit on the wrong chick #and she cursed him #also it's probably not even canon #non-canon shit happens in comics all the time

it's always kind of a weird situation when you dislike something but it's not because it's bad, so it feels like it's difficult to explain why you don't like it.

i really dislike Ace Attorney 4, just. based on vibes alone. and i sound like a crazy person every time i try to explain it KRKFK

i simply don't like it. but i see why people like it, too. i respect how bold it was with the direction it wished to take the series. it didn't want to rest on its laurels and tried a new angle for the games. it just didn't work for me. i love DD and SOJ, they're my favorite games in the series, but they play way too safe after the mixed reaction to AA4 and it really undermined Apollo's character, and the other characters tbh.

i don't really care about most of the plot points set up in AA4 so it doesn't actually bother me, but i see on an objective level that it's fucking absurd that they dropped everything except for like, the dark age law stuff and if i was an AA fan experiencing DD and SOJ as they came out i'd be kinda pissed they just ignored everything AA4 set up.

it's just profoundly, deeply not for me. and i'm kinda relieved the rest of the trilogy didn't follow in its footsteps. i guess that's all i should have to say.

#psy's no punctuation posts #aa tag #it's literally just like... #i hate the way it looks (the vibes of the visuals are rancid to me. even though it looks the exact same as the original trilogy) #like i can't explain it but the set and character designs Bother Me so so deeply. completely inexplicably #the characters are okay i guess but i had a hard time getting into them. love Trucy n Kristoph tho #i don't particularly like the cases either... they have good moments. i like Wocky. i actually like 4-3 a decent amount. Vera was cool #i think 4-3 is not near as bad as peop;le act funny enough KRKF. i actually liked that case the most out of the 4 #i don't really like Klavier. Apollo feels flat in this one. he and Klavier have no chemistry to even speak of #like you (i) get this profound feeling of 'they have no feelings about each other. not positive nor negative. that's how little they impact #each other's lives' and DD only made that feeling worse. it was like awkwardly running into a kid you went to school with #but wasn't even friends with so you just awkwardly say hi and then move on lol #like it feels so odd that i can't put my finger on why i hate the vibes of this game so much #i just. hated it i don't know!!! #i can see why AA4 is so divisive. i was chatting with my pal Lavender the other night about AA and she LOVED AA4 and i could see why #after she explained why it worked for her. just didn't click for me. i am not a fan
