#Also no I totally didn't forget to post this-

[sleepymccoy]

So I've seen a few seasons of supernatural in my life. Got to season 5 then trialled off and have seen a fair bit of the rest but not consistently and def not to the end. Haven't watched any in years and years, too

Anyway, I say this to highlight how bizarre it is that I had a lovely destiel dream last night

It'd make a killer fic I think, so enjoy this synopsis

Premise very much like that ep where Dean forgets his life and works in an office dressed like a lil fruit

^ that ep

Anyway the idea is that Dean forgets his life but is otherwise the same. But without the hunting stuff he's semi deadbeat working in a bar and hooking up with random women. Also Sam wasn't part of his childhood I guess, the dream didn't explain why Dean wouldn't know Sam but whatever

Castiel and Sam keep coming into the world to try and get Dean to perform a series of actions he needs to perform in order to be released from the spell. They're kinda bizarre tho and Dean doesn't recognise these guys so it's a challenge. Like, eat this daisy and have a tequila chaser. Sleep in a bed with bay leaves stuffed underneath. Stand in one spot for a minute while the sigil to release you gets engaged. That kind of thing

Dean has like feelings for them, but doesn't know them. He trusts Sam completely and they click but he's kind of weirded out by how comfortable he is with the stranger. And Cas, he wants to protect and fuck Cas in a way that's so overwhelming he can't handle it

Anyway, this is a longish post so click through for the blow by blow

Sam manages to talk him into having the flower and drink by doing it himself and pretending it's a fun way to drink. Dean takes part and is totally unimpressed but has a laugh about it

Cas slips in next with the intention of watching Dean hook up with someone and sneaking bay leaves under the bed before they get down and dirty. Because Cas can fly out the window if he needs to escape quick they figure he's the better choice for that gig. But as soon as Dean sees him it goes sideways because Dean has an immediately unavoidable crush on the raggedy middle aged dude in a Columbo coat

But this Dean didn't have the same loyalty to his father in youth cos there was no hunting to help make sense of the abuse he suffered. So he's not as caught up in his internalised (and externalised) homophobia and maybe even hooked up with a guy or two at school

It's still not normal for him and he's a bit surprised, but it takes him one beer and some disconcerting staring to get over it, and then he approaches

Cas is Unprepared™ for a full flirt from Dean and is very quickly taken in by it. It's fun and cheerful and Dean keeps swapping their drinks and stealing chips and leaning his hand on Cas' thigh when he whispers a joke to him. Cas is just dizzy and swimming in it and doesn't know what to do. He's totally lost track of what's going on

Eventually he excuses himself to go to the bathroom and checks in with Sam, who's had an hour of watching them flirt outrageously and is thoroughly bemused, amused, and has his eyes on the goal. "Get him into bed and put the damned leaves in place!"

So Cas goes back and Dean's paid the tab and is offering to drive and Cas just like you're drunk absolutely not. They make out against the door of Dean's beat up Ford Focus and Cas knows he's not gonna come back from this

He's loved Dead a long time, and there's something painful in the kiss and feeling the immorality of it. But there's something so wonderful too. And if it's got to happen, and Sam says it's got to happen so he can outsource that decision, he can take it as far as it needs to go. Save Dean, then apologise and skedaddle

At least he's got Sam's permission, so Sam can argue his side in his absence until Dean forgives him

It doesn't take long for Dean to kiss Cas into forgetting to feel guilty, tho. Then Dean starts talking about how Cas feels different to anyone else he's ever touched before and he doesn't understand why but he wants him so damned bad.

The Dean pulls back and offers to go slow. Pick you up for breakfast, go on a few dates before what's next

And Cas wants that so bad, he wants to be special, his skin aches for it. But he needs access to Dean's bed so he spearheads getting them into a motel together for the night, feeling slightly cheap and awful about it, but Dean's smile is unparalleled and the awful slides away every time he looks at him

They fuck a bit. Cas' guilt about it all isn't his focus, as soon as Dean's hand is on his dick he's only in the moment. I think Cas keeps it to mutual blow jobs, tho, he wants to save anything more for a Dean who knows him. He lies there's thinking about that afterwards and remembers that the Dean who knows him doesn't want him like this, this is some confused fucked up neuron thing.

Anyway after a bit of post coital bliss Dean gets up to piss and Cas shoves bay leaves under the mattress. Cas then insists on laying together a bit longer, they make out sloppy and Dean is very sweet and Cas loves him and eventually Dean dozes off. Tick off the second ritual

I reckon the last one ends up easy enough. While Dean sleeps Cas holds him and hums while Sam awkwardly and without looking directly at them carves the sigil in the floor. When Dean wakes up Cas makes a big deal about how pretty he is in the light and stay right there so I can take a photo of you

So Dean's striking a stupid sexy pose when the spell fades. And he realises everything that's happened and the significance of it all

Also Sam's in the room now and that's just a bit fucking awkward

Cas just leaves, cos he doesn't know what else to do. He texts Dean an apology. Dean doesn't respond for like three days which is just hellish but eventually he texts back saying come over and talk.

So Cas does. Dean's sorry too, Sam has talked him into recognising that he really got the ball rolling and Cas was a bit cornered. And Cas, desperate to not have Dean feel guilty, talks about his feelings in this vague and uncertain way. But ultimately says he glad he had a chance, even in a false world. Nice to have the memories

And Dean's just like. Okay. So you didn't hate it? And I didn't hate it. And now that there's no crazy spell to work through, do you want to take it slow?

What? Cas says

Breakfast date?

Cas is useless at taking it slow. He goes on this breakfast date and does his ridiculous I love humanity because I loved you first speech and Dean's like fuck man this is intense to hear over eggs and shit coffee! But yeah I'm sitting on some feeling that've kicked passed loyalty into devotion and I also kinda want to suck your dick again so shut up and let me come to terms with being gay a bit slower, fucking hell. You're beautiful, give me a kiss

They figure it out

Bleez, Princess of Havania, and Red Lantern Elite!

Disgraced in origin, her home and ranking were taken from her, as was her innocence and purity. Her feathers stolen as a prize of victory, she uses the gifts of the Red Lantern to replace what she'd lost.

Now, further utilizing her gifts, she will make sure no other befalls a fate like she had. An angel, although fallen, still acting like a savior to others. A life she chose all on her own, not one that had been thrust upon her despite her wishes. A ring called out and she took it with intent.

She hides away her beauty, all but her lower half of her face visible to the world. Her beauty is not what makes her, her beauty is what caused her suffering from the start. Never again will she allow that to affect her life.

Do not underestimate her for her power is immense. Burning hotter than a blue giant is her righteous fury. She delivers no mercy towards those who have wronged her. She is perhaps the most in control of her rage, second only to Atrocitus.

半間 修二：稀咲～　コイツらに格の違いを見せてつけてやったのにそのいう草かよ

Hanma: Kisaki～ I proved we’re ahead of them, but now they’ve got the guts to talk like that.

稀咲 鉄太：クレーンゲームで格の違いを見せてつけてなんの意味がある

Kisaki: What’s the point of showing off who is the best at claw machines?

半間 修二：う～ん、なんも意味ねーかも

Hanma: Mhhhh～ You might be right.

稀咲 鉄太：だろうな

Kisaki: See?

佐野 万次郎：おい、オマエら何スマイリー達に絡んでんだよ

羽宮 一虎：ふ～ん　そういえばぬいぐるみは？とれた？

Kazutora: Mhhh～ What about the plushie? Ya got it?

河田 ソウヤ：まだだよ　でも半間の取った方法真以すれば取れる気がする

Angry: Not yet. But if I try Hanma’s method I might be able to get it. 

佐野 万次郎：へー　アイツらそんなすごかったんだ

Mikey: Eeeeh. Was he that good?

河田 ソウヤ：うん、ちょっと半間のテクニック使って取ってみるからさ、みててよ！マイキー

Angry: Yeah, I’m gonna use Hanma’s technique and get it, just watch, Mikey!

佐野 万次郎：双子らしいしピッタリだろ

Mikey: They look like twins, so it fits. 

羽宮 一虎：じゃあおれクロミにしよ

Kazutora: Then I’ll get Kuromi.

羽宮 一虎：オレがクロミならマイキーマイメロディだよな！

Kazutora: If I have Kuromi, Mikey needs My melody!

佐野 万次郎：あんでもいいよ　エマにやるし

Mikey: That’s fine with me. I’ll give it to Emma.

武藤 泰宏：じゃあオレらはこの２つか　どっちがいいとかあるか？三途

Muto: Then we get these two? Which one do you want, Sanzu?

三途 春千夜：オレはどっちでもいいです

Sanzu: I’m okay with either. 

武藤 泰宏：だよな　じゃあこっちのワィッシュミーメル？ってやつ持ってけ

Muto: Alright. Then this Wish me mell? You’ll take it.

三途 春千夜：はい

Sanzu: Yes.

STORY AFTER ADVANCED LEVEL

羽宮 一虎：なぁ、マイキー　オレもUFOキャッチャーやりたくなってきちゃった

Kazutora: Hey, Mikey. I wanna give the crane machines a shot too.

羽宮 一虎：やりに行ってもいい？

Kazutora: Is it okay if I go?

佐野 万次郎：そうだな　特訓は一旦休憩にして一緒に回るか

Mikey: Sure. Why don’t we take a short break from training and go together?

武藤 泰宏：マイキー、特訓休憩ならオレと三途はあそこのベンチで休んでるぞ

Muto: Mikey, while you have a break Sanzu and I will go to that bench and rest.

佐野 万次郎：オッケー

Mikey: Okaay.

羽宮 一虎：あっち行こうぜ！マイキー！

Kazutora: Let’s go there! Mikey!

・・・

羽宮 一虎：じゃーん！見ろよマイキー！マイメロディとクロミのカチューシャとれた！

Kazutora: Ta-daaa! Look Mikey! I got My melody and Kuromi headbands!

佐野 万次郎：やるじゃん一虎　UFOキャッチャーうめーな

Mikey: Way to go, Kazutora. You’re good at crane machines.

羽宮 一虎：だろ？マイキーにマイメロディやるよ

Kazutora: Right? I’ll give you My melody one. 

羽宮 一虎：せっかく取ったし一緒に付けよーぜ

Kazutora: Now that I finally got it, let's wear them.

佐野 万次郎：え～

Mikey: Eeh～

羽宮 一虎：もったいないじゃん？ほら

Kazutora: Why are ya wasting time? Here.

スッ

Fwump

佐野 万次郎：…これ女がつけるやつだろ

Mikey: This is something a girl would wear…

羽宮 一虎：そんなことねぇよ　こういうのつけてると女の子にウケいいらしいし

Kazutora: That’s not true at all. Apparently girls dig it when you wear this kinda stuff. 

半間 修二：ん？マイキー　随分おもしれーカッコしてんじゃん

Hanma: Mh? Mikey. Don’t ya look extremely funny and cool. 

羽宮 一虎：あ、半間まだいたのかよ

Kazutora: Ah, Hanma you’re still here?

佐野 万次郎：稀咲はどうしたんだ？

Mikey: What about Kisaki?

半間 修二：あっちでUFOキャッチャー頑張ってるぜ

Hanma: He’s giving it his all with that claw machine. 

羽宮 一虎：オマエ上手いんだからついててやれよ

Kazutora: You’re great at it so go be at his side. 

半間 修二：オレから助言もらわねぇって　意地になってんの

Hanma: But he doesn’t wanna get advice from me. Isn’t he stubborn?

羽宮 一虎：ふ～んまぁどうでもいいや　マイキー特訓戻ろうぜ

Kazutora: Mhhh～ Well I don’t care. Mikey, let's go back to the special training.

佐野 万次郎：そうするか

Mikey: Let’s do that.

半間 修二：特訓～？ゲーセンでなんの特訓してんの？

Hanma: Special training～? What kinda training do you do at an arcade?

佐野 万次郎：格ゲー

Mikey: Fighting games.

半間 修二：へえ〜もしかしてマイキー弱ぇの？

Hanma: Heeeh～ Could it be that Mikey is weak?

佐野 万次郎：あ？弱くねーよ

Mikey: Hah? I ain’t weak. 

半間 修二：稀咲相手にしてみれば？

Hanma: Why don’t you try against Kisaki?

羽宮 一虎：は？どういうことだよ？

Kazutora: Hah? What do ya mean?

半間 修二：稀咲はあんま格ゲーとかやんなそうだし、いい練習相手になんじゃね？

Hanma: Kisaki barely plays fighting games and such, so he might be a good practice partner?

半間 修二：貸し１ってことで♪どう？

Hanma: You owe me one �� So? 

佐野 万次郎：いいぜ、素人に負けるかよ

Mikey: Fine by me, I ain’t gonna lose against an amateur. 

STORY AFTER EXTREME LEVEL

半間 修二：残念だったな～♡稀咲

Hanma: That sucks～♡ Kisaki

稀咲 鉄太：おい、マイキー　この勝負は貸し１ってことでいいんだよな？

Kisaki: Hey, Mikey. I’m sure this match means I owe you one?

佐野 万次郎：いいよ練習になったし

Mikey: It was just some good practice.

稀咲 鉄太：…オレらは帰る　行くぞ、半間

Kisaki: We’ll be leaving... Let’s go, Hanma.

半間 修二：りょ～じゃあな～オマエら♡

Hanma: Yes sir～ See yaaa～ you guys ♡

佐野 万次郎：さて、アイツには勝てたけどまだオマエらには勝ってねぇんだ

Mikey: Then, I’ve beaten him but I haven’t won against you guys yet. 

佐野 万次郎：今日はオレが連戦連勝できるようになるまで付き合ってもらうからな！

Mikey: You’ll stay here with me today until I’m on a winning streak!

羽宮 一虎：マジかよマイキー無理だって諦めな？

Kazutora: For real Mikey there’s no way you’ll give up?

佐野 万次郎：いや！さっきのでコツ掴んだからいける！

Mikey: No! I got the hang of it earlier so I can do it! 

河田 ナホヤ：どっから来るんだ？その自信はよぉ

Smiley: Where’s this coming from? That confidence of yours.

[goldentigerfestival]

Yuri's dialogue (JP) is so fascinating to study, like... the repetitive use of certain words/phrases that others use sparingly but he uses constantly. the way it feels like his vocabulary is more expansive than what he uses, but he defaults to a "comfort" level of speech. the way it mixes in with his sort of "street talk" words and the sheer level of informality. the way his "street talk" phrasing is contrasted by the tone of his voice (on that note, people I know who also know JP are also very endeared by these aspects of him so I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME!!!).

'cause the thing is, he uses phrases that yeah, other people do use, but he uses a handful over and over and over (contrast to other characters' sparing use of repetition). it's actually... really refreshing? it sounds more relatable and less "video game/anime/JRPG/RPG" writing or something, idk. like closer to how a real person would speak.

I do my best in my translations not to make things sound too stiff across the board, but Yuri makes it so easy. it's why I'm so interested in translating all his lines in Vesperia, like... the actual, original tone for him with his original wording because it's smth Eng only players don't get to experience ('cause even if you listen with JP audio, if you don't know the language, ofc you're gonna miss out on context. it's nobody's fault for not knowing, just... they unfortunately miss out). the thing is, there are a lot of times when the lines in and of themselves are not contextually incorrect in the English ver (usually the situation for smaller scenes, because they altered the text outright for more important stuff which was the stuff that originally set me off, but there were also plenty of cases of just vocal tone shifting with the correct context that still gave off the wrong impression), but Yuri's tone is shifted away from the original in Eng even though it's completely and perfectly translatable.

I am by no means about to translate the entire game because let's face it, I really don't care that much for Vesperia on the whole. I'm kinda stuck with it because Yuri's there lo and behold I actually am WAY more engaged in his stories in Rays, Link and Asteria because it's an amazing character put into circumstances where he actually gets to shine and feels more alive, which Vesperia did not provide nearly as well with its very disjointed story. also, Tales gachas have banger stories that are arguably better than the mainline games, and they regularly make Yuri a very central character to the gachas. Crestoria was also about to do it until they pulled the plug on that game and I'm pretty confident something interesting has been lost to the world. also I just generally don't have the energy or motivation to do that, so... I'll only be focusing on Yuri's lines, especially because his stuff is where the bulk of the messing around was. he's just insanely fun to translate for and I love burying myself head first into his speech.

will I actually finish this project? dunno. will I get around to posting it? whatever I get done (so all of it if I complete it), and if I decide to call it quits then I'll post what I have at the time I decide that. will it take a long time? probably, but I can always mention stuff along the way...

I think for some people it might be good to spoil Higurashi a little a bit because I think I would have struggled through Episode 1 if I wasn't told before that it was building towards something and explained some of the stuff that happens after LIKE DON'T GET ME WRONG, I actually enjoyed the first hours of Onikakushi and I never skipped the slice of life stuff because I liked it, but knowing a bit what was coming really made me focus and brace myself in a way I probably wouldn't if I wasn't aware.
