ok kind of an insane ask so feel free to ignore but would you be able to translate "友達バリア" by deco*27? i can't find any translations online and i wanna see if i'm right about the song kind of fitting the matsus... it's also a banger imo
- vocamatsu anon
omg.... tbh i have a feeling deco will make a video for this one which means we'll get an official english translation of it, rendering this completely redundant, but i'm really cheesed to have been asked, so i gave it a shot for you anyways <3
youtube
Friend-zoned, love fire, sparks flying HIBANA We're ready, set to lock horns, love's ultimate showdown I'm outmatched- but it's not over yet! I won't let this end! With a dazzling, never-give-up attitude, I'll break through your defenses!
The despair of never getting anything more of this Your behavior, nor what's going on in your head- I can't read it at all! I can't help but envy the kindness you radiate Omnidirectional compatibility- it's just not for me
Carefully-picked down-played words The outcome: A bloody heart True feelings double-crossed by embarrassment; how frustrating, I'm changing sides But that won't fill up my heart What I want is nothing more than to be by your side If you've got something to say, then say it- 'til I defeat you, that is! 3, 2, 1!
Friend-zoned, love fire, sparks flying HIBANA We're ready, set to lock horns, love's ultimate showdown I'm outmatched- but it's not over yet! I won't let this end! With a dazzling, never-give-up attitude, I'll break through your defenses!
I want you to like me! I want you to like me! Friend-zoned, love fire, hey, say "I give up"! With a dazzling, never-give-up attitude, I'll break through your defenses!
Fun things, good feelings- without you, they have no taste at all Sadness, jealousy- if they're cuz of you, then I don't mind them Let's throw down, bro! Better to regret doing it, than not doing it at all! A feeling like I won't need any special moves, YEAH I'm sure everything will be OKAY With an endless supply of love, you're undefeated, AYE Play dead, BYE BYE I'll be the one to throw the first punch
Friend-zoned, love fire, sparks flying HIBANA We're ready, set to lock horns, love's ultimate showdown The lonely and timid me is already no more! With a dazzling, blazing flair, I'll burn through your defenses!
Do you like me yet? Do you like me yet? Friend-zoned, love fire, now, let's immerse ourselves in love! With a dazzling, blazing flair, a never-ending HAO sweetener battle!
Do you like me yet? Do you like me yet? Friend-zoned, love fire, now, let's immerse ourselves in love! With a dazzling, blazing flair, a never-ending HAO sweetener battle!

my notes:
my overall interpretation of this song is "I'm trying to break through the friend zone (friendship barrier) so that you like me instead of thinking of me as a friend", so any vagueness in translation went in that direction
The use of "lock horns" in the official translation snippet + the HAO motifs give me the mental image of like, a hand-to-hand kung fu battle, so I leaned towards that imagery whenever there was vagueness (as opposed to like, a military campaign, for example)
deco's official english translations tend to be very liberal, so i tried to keep my translation a little more literal
Tumblr media Tumblr media
#translation#i dont really like the use of 'friend-zoned' for the official translation of this#in general deco's english translations seem to favor localizing over keeping original meaning which i usually support wholeheartedly#but i feel like their en localizations sometimes lack a colloquial understanding of how these terms come across to english speakers#like the Vibe. i dont know if they grasp the Vibe#like on the surface 'friend-zone' seems like a reasonable localization for this concept#(Actually why is the localization the adjective form? shouldnt it be the noun? tomodachi barrier = friend zone? well anyways)#term for when you can't advance a platonic relationship to a romantic one + the term 'zone' is often used in fighting and battles#but colloquially i feel like this term has more of an Incel Connotation#due to its use being most popularized among men who see women as a prize they can win if they put enough effort in#+ its usage furthering the underlying expectation that women should date a man because he likes her regardless of how She feels abt it#of coures i know this is not the literal definition but again. the colloquialism. the Vibe. i really value the Vibe in localization#it gives off more of a pathetic desperate entitled vibe than a determined lonely feisty vibe which is what i personally got from the song#but vibes are subjective of course and dependent on one's personal experience#and who knows maybe that IS what deco's going for. i may very well be missing some japanese colloquialism as well#anyways as to if this fits the matsus.... well. they dont really have any friends in the first place do they#except totoko who repeatedly and easily beats them in hand-to-hand combat#i guess it could be atsutodo if you were full of whimsy#(suddenly coming back into the room) BY THE WAY I HATE HAO#I THINK HE'S TRYING TO DO THE THING WHERE HE JUST MAKES UP WORDS/MEANINGS BECAUSE IT'S THE KANJI IN SUKI#IT'S JUST AN EXTREMELY COMMON CHINESE WORD AND HE'S USING IT IN WAYS THAT SOUND SO DUMB AND WEIRRDDDDDDDDD#“a never ending HAO sweetener battle” <- WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE HAO HAPPEN? DONT PISS ME OFF#IM LIKE PRETTY SURE HIS TRANSLATOR IS EN/CN/JP TRILLINGUAL TOO SO WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE HERE#anyways thank you for the ask. mwah. i hope u enjoy this

I've talked about this before, but I firmly believe professors who spend part of their career/life outside of academia, make better instructors overall. The irony of my ex-military, ex fuckin intel officers turned professors, were way more understanding of students complexities, nuances, and shortcomings versus any of my Creative writing/English professors is amusing. Not only were they more encouraging, but I always felt so secure in coming to them with an issue and they'd be like 'shit happens, do what you need to do, glad you're here.' I think fundamentally when you come from environments where you have to adapt, where you have to have the flexibility to deal with a million and one factors and personalities so to speak, you offer a better environment to cultivate learning.
I think throughout my entire creative writing minor, I only had two, maybe three professors who I *actually* enjoyed, and one of them was a screenwriting professor who had worked in the film industry, which supports my theory. But most of them had been in their position for 20 something years, and/or adjuncts freshly graduated without a lot of outside experience and I had to jump through a million hoops and passive aggressiveness for the most basic questions, or just to outright tell me 'too bad' for any minor request.
So yeah, I guess the thesis is to live more outside your bubble... Learn how to work with different people and give 'em a bit of compassion.

learning spanish as a foreign language and having the opposite distribution of understanding to my heritage language, as in the type of language i’m having the most trouble understanding is simple everyday language spoken around family. sure i can read this scientific article fairly easily but god forbid my bf’s mom asks me what i want for dinner

okay if you don’t mind, can I get the whole backstory on you and writing? Like how’d you get so good at it, when did you first start, how much effort do you put into getting better(not to say that of you don’t it’s a bad thing!)
Ooooh, yeah sure!! :0
Sooo I started writing in 2020 when I was 17! (I’m 22 now). It was Covid so it was the perfect excuse to pick up a new hobby!
My first ever fic was a Izaya x reader from Durarara, and it’s still up somewhere on Quotev 😭😭 (it’s TERRIBLE pls don’t go looking for it I beg)
Then I started writing a Bakugo x OC fic that I never posted, even though I wrote like 40 chapters for it 🥲 I actually kinda popped off with that one ngl, but I wanted to post it when it was finished annnnd guess what? I never did—typical author things 😋
Sounds really stupid but the best advice I can give is just write every day 🤔 I used to force myself to write something, even if it was just a paragraph—even if it was just writing about my day, or describing something in my room. It just keeps your brain active and keeps that creative spark going ygm
Also, another thing that I 100% think helps—is reading!! Whether it’s other fanfics, but especially books!! The more writing styles you see, the more you’ll pick up on, even if you don’t realise it!
Something I like to do when I’m reading and I see a sentence or description like, is write it down in my notes so I don’t forget it—then I’ll use it as inspo for my own writing later on!
That’s pretty much it really!! Just keep writing and reading and slowly but surely you’ll make progress!! 💗

you don't understand how much I felt the slow saline drip of gaining interest in a character, and instead of going, "oooh. interesting. new blorbo?" I instead went, "...really. that guy? oh. oh no."

<- guy with a li tianchen icon ends up blorbofying liu xiao. alas, I have played myself 😔
#mine musings#but he won't eclipse cxs. cxs is still my lc blorbo of all time#but i was so surprised how much lx snuck up on me#bc i'm writing a shiguang fic right. i can tell it's gonna be a long one and it's primarily about shiguang facing The Horrors™ (of course)#and it's non-linear (of course) and i write non-linearly anyway and it's just the kind of story where i *have* to write the endings first#so i was like. okay. i'll write the endings. they'll be my north star. roadmap to shiguang#and then my brain decided: wait. i want to write xiaochen epilogues to this#me (eyes squinting at lx and ltc): ?????????? this fic is not about you???? stop. go away#like it makes *sense* for them to be there. they have roles in the story. but it's like#you know how in the yingdu op lx hijacks the screen to print his english name in red letters#that's literally how it feels writing this fic. lx is hijacking it to have the last word even though he's supposed to#just be in the background scheming or whatever#like. what in the metanarrative experience...! why are you hijacking my fic lx!! this is not about you!!#and yet it kinda does naturally circle back to you in the end?? fuck#and i am!!! so mad!!! like truly!!!! i'm getting so heated just writing these tags lmao#i literally cared about you the least when i checked the hothh pvs so whyyyy are you. climbing the faves list. stop. go away#if i get annoying about lx in the future i apologize in advance#especially next friday#omg i feel like i'll be annoying about it actually bc he's so (gestures hands) vague about everything and i'll be like:#[standing emoji] viewers are gonna misinterpret you lx. and you're letting them#I'M probably misinterpreting you#is this fun for you? i bet you're having fun#ughhh. hell character. shaking him in a glass jar. putting him in the washing machine#microwaving him microwaving him microwaving him

Laughing at you just dragging your native language 🤣
Haha, well, wouldn't call it dragging, just being realistic. I remember as a kid one summer I went on a vacation to France (sidetrack: this was the coolest holiday, my parents had rented a room in some old forlorn French chateau on a 1500 yard humongous plot with so many hidden, adventurous trails to discover. To a kid, that's heaven) There I first was introduced to kids from Britain. I thought their language was so cool, and I guess I was already aware of it being a world language, thus coming in handy later. Then I spent all rest of the summer begging my parents to tears to raise me bilingual (and threatened I'd refuse to speak Dutch anymore if they didn't) lol.

GAHHHH I still get so bad at that fucking teacher I don’t even remember her name but#she pissed me off so bad cause she paired me with the two guys who always made fun of me just bc I was smart and they were annoying. anyways#depression and adhd and boredom happened and I almost failed that class but still passed in the end and then in junior year during covid#I was taking a biology class and an anatomy class that was supposed to be seniors (seniors did the advanced class and they offered regular#class to select juniors) and I ended up being the ONLY junior who wasn’t doing the advanced course. like. everyone else got assignments and#I had to ask hey what’s the easy version of that assignment cause I’m technically in the easy class even tho we’re in the same class period#and then Covid and I stopped caring at all about anhthing and then dropped out of school and moved down the entire coast so yknow.#I never stood a chance at being good at science but I’m realizing I might actually be passionate about it cause I have been since I was#little I just kind of ignored it and forgot but like. for one birthday I got a telescope and for one Christmas I got a microscope. like it’s#well known to everyone but me that I like science apparently oh my god what’s wrong with my brain !!!! anyways.#I like science now it’s weird to feel passionate about learning I haven’t done that in a long time#oh my god when I took my GED test my highest score was in SCIENCE AND NOT ENGLISH#THIS IS ALL SO OBVIOUS I LOVE SCIENCE WHY AM I NOT DOING SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE RELATED TO SCIENCE
