infinity is made by two (a dyad) — g. satoru

— series masterlist (ao3)

synopsis:

Most beloved, poets say.

When gods cursed Gojo Satoru, he would laugh in their faces. When gods blessed Gojo Satoru with divinity and honor, he would say: I, alone, am the honored one. When Gojo Satoru fell in love there was little else he could do but kiss you.

Divinity ran in his blood like how the many rivers and streams ran through Gaia; He was destined for greatness, the honor of the divine, but he grounded himself in the mortal realm with the promise of loving you. Perhaps it’s because it’s a well known fact that Gojo Satoru can ascend to Godhood anytime that makes his words so easy to fall in love with.

Gojo Satoru didn’t fall in love with you; He was destined for it.

(Or: You are the Patroclus to Gojo Satoru’s Achilles. )

pairing: gojo satoru x gn! reader

tags: ancient greece au, hurt/comfort, angst, mild violence, sappiness, romance,

warnings: slight plasma vessel spoilers and beyond (just a hint, no actual descriptions)

status: coming soon.

a/n: comment or request to be added to the taglist. there will only be two parts! it will be split in reader pov and gojo’s pov. this will also be crossposted on ao3 when it’s finished.

(other tags will be added)

— CHAPTERS

01 | to love, to have been loved, to have loved (reader pov)

02 | greece’s best beloved mortal god (gojo pov)

taglist: @hai-ru @none-duh-nah @patchi-chi @camille-1019 @sukunasdirtylaugh

i’m a gigantic bgm/ost nerd (music in general) as well as art...so feel free to send me some links about it!

currently undergoing blog revamp

the account @yna1nna is my responding acc in the comments ahaha.. since this is a secondary blog... I won’t be active in that account at all fyi so all the information you’ll need is here!

writing hiatus; still available to chat!!

ʀᴜʟᴇs

hey I despise slurs or any derogatory things going around here if I can’t tell if its maliciously sent or not (ie. btch, whre, etc.)

depending if I do write nsfw works, minors and ageless blogs dni! I will check up on this and I’ll block you if you’re in any of those categories (no hard feelings just...no.)

please don’t ask me to write for other fandoms. writing requires a lot of understanding about characters and their circumstances so i cant just write for fandoms i dont have a clear grasp on.

do not write critiques for my work because i didn’t ask for it. if you’re pointing out mistakes or anything like that please feel free to do so kindly and not poorly worded. anything can be misinterpreted on the internet.

if any of the wip works i have listed on a schedule isn’t posted within that timeframe, it’s likely due to the fact that I have a life and I’m busy so please don’t spam me about it. you may inquire about it if you’re curious it’ll still be published (it likely will, just delayed).

in the unlikely event that I do happen to cancel a fic, try not to be rude about it. the likely reason that i cancel a fic is that i converted it into another fic...and the content i had written for the cancelled fic will likely be included in some capacity in the converted one. feel free to ask me if it’s converted or not and I’ll direct you to the fic if it is.

DO NOT REPOST OR REPUBLISH ANY OF MY WORKS!!

idk man, i just wanna write a fic that someone reads obsessively at 3am. a fic that someone loses sleep to finish because just one more chapter and tries to give multiple kudos. a fic that people will leave a comment on every chapter. i want to write a fic that people will recommend to others, that they think nails the characterization and relationship dynamic. i want to write someone’s comfort fic, someone’s favorite fic, or someone’s fic they read when they want to re-read something. i want to be that fic writer. i want to write that fic.

Referring to that Xiao ask, which other characters do you think suffer from the same problem?

Zhongli suffers from it the most for sure, although he is an interesting case because I think the localization team actually did try to do him justice, but were limited by cultural differences. His entire character is simply harder to translate cross-culturally than anyone else's. In addition to the Taoist elements of his character that were totally erased by certain localization choices (eg, using "Rex Lapis" rather than "Yanwang Dijun"), his mannerisms and atmosphere also do not carry over well into a western context:

Zhongli embodies a classical Chinese ideal of a noble gentleman (君子, junzi) that simply doesn't exist in the west. I think this is why he doesn't get read as very masculine by western fans, or sometimes gets interpreted as a long-winded old man (and I guess he could be, if someone were to tease him? But it's certainly not his actual vibe in Chinese!)

I think this actually comes through in his voice acting as well: in Chinese, he sounds like a junzi-like character, dignified and speaking comfortably in a very eloquent manner, whereas in English... I am actually not sure what the creative direction is supposed to be? He does sound dignified, but he is also speaking at the pace of a Southern drawl, and sometimes he simply sounds robotic? (This is not me roasting the VA just to be clear, but MHY's creative choices!)

Zhongli's speech patterns are particularly hard to translate as well - iirc he has a tendency of using 4-character idioms (成语, chengyu) derived from literary references. It is a very concise and eloquent way of speaking that is highly distinct from eloquent speech patterns in English, and thus the "flavour" of Zhongli's speech is lost in translation. Worse yet, as they are idioms, the meaning and poetry of the chengyu are exceptionally difficult to render in English. For example:

His voice line for his burst is "I will have order" in English, but in Chinese it is 「天动万象」，lit. "the sky (heavens) moves all manifestations of nature". I'd probably render it as something like, "All existence follows the heavens". However, even if you were to localize the voice line faithfully, thanks to how the game strips the Taoist connotations of Zhongli's character (who is akin to a Taoist god that rules the heavens), it is unclear that Zhongli = the heavens, and what he is actually saying is, "All existence follows me". This is presumably why the translation team instead went with "I will have order", but this choice simply lacks the gravitas and poetry of the original Chinese. (N.B. edited this in lieu of another rb!)

(If you just look at the length of the above bullet point, by the way, you'll start to understand how much translation - even good faith, thoughtful translation - can present dilemmas and ultimately change a character!)

IN GENERAL, outside of chengyu, Zhongli drops literary references with which westerners are not familiar. For instance, the voice line "Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember... but where are those who share the memory?" is not a direct translation of the Chinese. In the OG Chinese, he actually recites a line from a poem. Rather than explaining this myself, I will actually plug this detailed explanation by @/tudou_mi on Twitter! Read in the context of the original poem, you get a much more vivid picture of the loneliness that Zhongli feels as an immortal being, and his longing reminiscence of the past.

Those are the points about Zhongli that stick out the most to me - an interesting case where his character is so deeply rooted in the original culture that some of the translation discrepancies are necessary. Of course, there are still decisions that I disagree with overall LOL but my takeaway is to pay attention to the Chinese meta writers for Zhongli! They can provide cultural insights beyond 1:1 mistranslations!

As for the other Liyue characters - embarrassingly I have to admit that I pay most attention to Xiao (and Zhongli by proxy), so I can't speak to them as much! Off the top of my head, you could definitely say a lot about Xingqiu, who is heavily influenced by the wuxia genre, and so his localization has been affected by that - I could maybe discuss this in a future post. (There is also the uhhhhh sworn brothers TL controversy, and though I think the "adopted brothers" localization genuinely removes depth from Kaeya and Diluc's relationship, I'm also not totally sure that anyone wants to subject themselves to the mental damage of that discourse.)

In any case, I hope this helps!
