Hey, Lets Go Throw Discs This Summer

[madamemorisot]

I remember that on one such occasion, someone asked injudiciously: " But, M. Degas, didn't Manet himself cut up the portrait you did of him and his wife? "

Said Degas sharply : "What business have you, sir, to criticise Manet? Yes, it's quite true, Manet thought his wife didn't fit into the picture ; as a matter of fact he was probably right. And I made a fool of myself over that affair, for, furious as I was at the time, I took down a little still life that Manet had given me, and wrote to him:

“ Monsieur, I am sending you back your Plums “  . . . Ah ! What a lovely painting that was ! It was a clever thing I did that day, and no mistake ! When I had made it up with Manet, I asked him to give me back ' my ' Plums, and he had sold it ! “ - Recollections of a picture dealer by Vollard, Ambroise.

"MAYBE I'VE CHANGED. MAYBE THIS LEFT ME AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. I KNOW, I KNOW. DOESN'T EVEN SEEM LIKE ME." making a face, because.. right now, edgar had a feeling that was the case. he had a feeling that he would continue going through hell time and time again and hey, maybe he did deserve it. "eh. i'll be fine, i think," shrugging a little bit, because.. no, he didn't want to bother him with the fact that he very much did not think that he was going to be fine. "you know who. he had a gun. i tried, but.. it wasn't enough. he got the best of me. i know, i know. i let a kid get the best of me and it's the one that my niece - the only family i have - seems to care about. TALK ABOUT FUCKING IRONY, EH?" he had come back with revenge in mind and then, he had seen that. yeah. @xtinyslip

"you? don't buy it for a second. it always felt like you knew the right thing to say… even when i don't always want to hear it." mark smiled, almost sadly. the truth was that he hadn't particularly known what to say at first either. perhaps, there was too much to say and that was the problem. feelings didn't just disappear, not even if it would have been really convenient to do so. of course, there was still a lot he felt for the man in front of him. he just didn't know whether the other would even want to hear it and like hell was he fully putting himself out there first. it would make sense for edgar not to want to ever look at him like that again. deep down he just hoped that wasn't the case. "but you're alright?" hoping he was. "wait. kid? what do you mean kid?" hands clenched into fists, knowing exactly where his thoughts had just taken him. he had the kid, literally had him in his grasp and it would have been too easy to kill him there and then. he'd let him go because… fucks sake. "i'm sure they did." @fcrafcrtnight

Edgas Degas, Woman in a Tub, 1886, pastel/paper (Hill-Stead Museum, Farmington, CT)

[flaresanimedump]

Is it Ranpo or Rampo? PSA since the spelling is different between subs:

The real life author Edogawa Ranpo/Rampo was a very cool person. There are lots of fun stories about him, but the thing to know is that he liked Edgar Allan Poe and could speak English. (He liked Poe's mystery stories specifically, Poe having created the proto-Sherlock in his stories about character C. Auguste Dupin).

Why RaNpo: The original author based his pen name on Edgar Allan Poe like so:

Edgar Allan Poe -> Edga aran po -> Edgaa ranpo -> Edogawa Ranpo -> えどがわ•らんぽ ->　江戸川•乱歩

Because of the Japanese phonetic system, the O in "Ed(o)" is considered "soft" and can be skipped over when talking fast, and the W sound is so soft it's often omitted from translation altogether. The Rs are a little more complicated but for the purposes of this explanation I'll just say that soft Rs at the ends of English words are often omitted in their Japanese counterparts (i.e. "computer" is pronounced "computa"), and Japanese doesn't have an L sound exactly, so the R in Ranpo is a stand-in.

So. This makes it seem like a no-brainer to spell it Ranpo. I'll give another point in Ranpo's favor: Japanese does not have a stand-alone character for M. Each Japanese character has at least two letter sounds in it and one is always a vowel (thus "do" instead of just "d" in Edogawa). Vowel-only sounds are an exception to this rule. They have characters that represent solo A, E, I, O, U sounds - and one for N. ん is just the letter N. They do have the M sound of course, and Ranpo is written "Ra-n-po" so this must mean it's Ranpo, right?

Why RaMpo:

Now it gets complicated. As previously mentioned, Edogawa Rampo could read and speak English. He couldn't write it, however, and so in the 1950s he collaborated with a translator to translate his works into English. His chosen romanization of his pen name? Edogawa Rampo.

Now we KNOW he knew better. He can read English and he's a huge Poe fan, he knows this isn't how Allan is spelled. I haven't been able to find anything on his reasoning, but nobody in the US even realizes this is a play on Poe's name upon hearing it, so I doubt copyright had anything to do with the spelling (and they got way fewer claims for that in the 1950s anyway). I will say that I've seen quite a few Japanese people choose handles related to things they like in German/English and then choose to spell it differently in the romanization, so it might just be for fun. But whatever the reason, the fact remains that Edogawa Rampo himself spelled it Rampo.

On the use of ん, a translator friend of mine once explained the phonetics of the ん character to me. If you're an avid weeb you might have seen "senpai" spelled "sempai" on occasion. You know how the letter A has long and short pronunciations (denoted by "ā" and "ă" respectively)? Similarly, ん has 4 different pronunciations depending on the sounds around it. The most common one is indeed the N sound English-speakers are familiar with, but if ん comes before a sound where your lips press together (such as M, B, or P) it's pronounced like an M. Rampo has one of these sounds following the ん. Traditional Hepburn (the oldest popular style guide first published in 1867) recommended using an M in these cases. Revised Hepburn, which was published in 1908 and instead suggests using N in all situations, has since become more popular and many insist it's "correct," but in reality both are still quite common - for example, few people have switched to calling tempura "tenpura." (As Edogawa Rampo's first translated stories came to the US in 1956, this isn't a definitive reason for him to have chosen either spelling, but it at least explains the inconsistency in translations.)

Since these style guides are prevalent in Japan, it's possible that Edogawa was just following one of those in his chosen translation. Or he might have been being artistic. Someone out there may know but I sure don't.

As a final note for Rampo, all of the official Japanese merch uses the M spelling. I take any and all official merch spellings with a grain of salt, but in this case it's very consistent. Funimation's written romanization has been Rampo (check season 2), but Yen Press has used Ranpo.

So what's the answer?

Technically both are "right," it just depends on your style guide (and, personally, I like Ranpo better), so the answer is... use whichever you like! Such is the way of romanization in anime fandoms.

Again, i wish you a wonderful happy birthday my dear friend!!! 🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳🥳

Thank you for being here and being you! You’re an incredible, talentuous and supportive person! Days would be lonely and very less fun without you and i’m so glad to have you around as a friend! You’re so strong and never gave up despise everything. (If that’s not a huge Win move and girlboss moment idk what it is lol)

Your attention to details is incredible and your one of the best lore poster for me as well as drawing and creating beautiful and funny pieces.

Thank you for everything really and enjoy your day you deserved it!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA SORRY THERE IS NO CHANCE IN HELL TO FIX ME DHFJJSHDFH XDDDD + beta-reading your fanfic has been a lot of fun and an excuse for me to be a tyrant on Edga TheIncredibles level, can't wait to do that again fdjhfhdsds

OKAY OKAY SORRY sjhdhd I AM genuinely happy that you are seeing me as being supportive and strong through being critical and crying from pain all the time :pensive:. I suppose at times, someone's virtues are not instantly obvious. Just like how I am deceptively mean, you are deceptively 'naive' and actually understand a lot of things lol. Thank you for finding my art and lore so inspirational.. Honestly, you have an incredible eye for lore details and try to capture as many details in fanart as you can too? This is actually something really unifying between us in the Lore Council whereas virgin Val and Crow use just bits and vague impressions fshdfhd

OKAY I JUST can't be normal for once sorry, but I am glad that we are friends. Who knew that a small interaction on Twitter two years ago would end up so great? Thank you for everything too!!

HI EDGA R

> Greeting: Hello.

[onthenightwatch]

[Video recording begin.]

[Via: Back_Alley_Cam.]

[The scene set out is a pathetic one, Edgar sits against the wall like before, head down, unmoving. He barely appears to be breathing. It is unclear if that is due to the distance of the camera or some other factor. His phone sits in the center of the alley. He appears to have fully given up on trying to reach it.]

Hanako: [Somewhat distant.] EDGAR? EDGAR?

[Edgar looks up, eyes flitting open, he appears to open his mouth to say something, but as soon as he tries to start talking, he starts coughing violently.]

H: [Still distant.] EDGAR!?

[He attempts to catch his breath after the coughing fit, and then tries to speak again.]

Edgar: [Quietly, it sounds somewhat painful.] Hana…?

[Just then, a person with medium brown hair runs in wearing rose pajamas. Staring at Edgar.] 

H: EDGA- Oh… Oh, god.

[All the other can manage is a small smile, his teeth are stained red with blood, the same for around his mouth, a few small trails of the red liquid seemingly made their way down his chin.]

[Hanako bends down, looking at Edgar.] 

H: Fucking hell…

[He blinks, and then nods. His head droops, holding it up seemingly taking too much energy.]

H: I…

E: [Softly.] Hhhi.

[He attempts to lift his head again, his eyes unfocused and dazed.]

H: Hi…

[Hanako examines Edgar, seemingly looking for all the injuries.]

E: I’m s– [He is interrupted by another cough.] –ssorry.

H: Don't. Don't fucking apologize. You did nothing.

[Edgar pauses for a few seconds.]

E: … Hurts.

H: I… Hm… I can't do much from here…

[Edgar nods, slowly trying to shift his sitting position. He winces as he moves his right leg.]

H: No. Don't stand, I'll carry you… First I uh… Need to uncuff you huh?

E: Please. Too tight.

[Hanako bends further forward and pulls a pin out of her hair, the sounds of the cuffs being lockpicked are heard.]

H: Just give me a moment here…

[A click is heard, Hanako waits a few seconds before sighing.]

H: Fucking zipties too?

E: Y– yeahhh.

H: I'm going to beat the fuck out of all of those fucks I swear.

E: Wa– wait. No, don’t. You’ll– [coughing.]

H: I'll what? Be killed? I welcome those little fucks to try. They hurt you dude. Force fed you a rat. You think I'm going to let that slide?

[Edgar stares at Hanako, eyes full of exhaustion and worry.]

H: Don't worry about me ight? I'll be fine.

E: I thought t– the same. Now lo– look at me.

H: Edgar. Dude. Worry about yourself right now.

E: … f– f– fine.

H: Thank you. 

[Hanako grabs a knife from her pocket before using it to cut the zip ties.]

E: Thanks.

H: Now. Can I carry you?

[He nods, accidentally resting his hand on one of his wounds. He takes a sharp breath in.]

H: Don't do that… Ok?

E: Mhm.

[Hanako grabs Edgar, carrying the injured man as carefully as she can, supporting his shoulders. Making sure to grab his phone as well.]

H: You ok?

E: Sssick. I– I feel sick.

H: I… Yeah that makes sense.

E: … I n– never want to see th– this alley again.

H: That’s fine… That's fine.

E: Let’s j– just go.

[Hanako begins walking out of frame, still carrying Edgar.]

[Recording end.]

Kinda wanted to write one of my Onepiece timetravel Fic Idea!

Now this is a Mass Timetravel, taking place two years before Luffy sets sail. I wanted it to be earlier but that would f- up the Timeline. Awakening up on Dawn Island after the War, Luffy panics letting out his conquers Haki and screaming blind rage. Garp is the only other person who's still conscious on the entire island. Running towards the Burst garp studders seeing his Grandson enraged screaming and clawing at his chest. Quickly knocking him out and checking him over a grim look overtakes him as he questions what happened to awaken his Conquers like this.

---

Character's who Timetraveled;

Marco, Portgas D Ace, Izo.

Sabo, Ivankov.

Koby, Smoker, Helmeppo.

Trafalgar Law, Edgas Kidd, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, Momonosuke, Yamato, Katakuri..

Vivi, Shirahoshi, Rebecca.

Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Ussop, Luffy, Robin, Chopper, Brook, Franky, Jimbe.

Etc. Etc update once awake.

_

Anyways long story short they start to fuck up the timeline by start their adventure early leading to some chaotic scenes.
