#I used Google translate for this so sorry if its wonky

[dib-thing-wannabe]

More Peppinoise headcanons, please?

FUCK HOLD ON-

Ummmmmmm

They both "flirt" with each other in their native language, (Aka Italian for Peppino and Spanish for Noise), where they just say random things in a seductive way. Here is an example:

The Noise: Eres un sándwich de mortadela

Peppino: I don't know what you said-a, but it was hot.

[ryuichirou]

Can you elaborate on why you guys don't like the official English translation for the game?

I'm genuinely curious. Do you guys play the Japanese version of the game instead?

Sorry for the late reply, Anon.

We don’t play the game; we watch fan-translated walkthroughs and also use google to translate some of the untranslated stuff for ourselves. It’s just easier for us to dive into the story that way, since it’s linear anyway…

We don’t like the EN version because, as far as I’ve seen, there is a bunch of weird wording choices and changes to the lines that shift the perception of characters and the relationships between them. Some of the choices are understandable, but some of them (like when they un-gayed that one Cater and Vil’s dialogue, for example) are simply confusing and upsetting. We would rather read a rough, wonky and literal translation than get a completely different picture of the characters in our heads. It feels disrespectful when someone uses the translation as a ground for “hey look i can come up with stuff better than the original”. Various anime dubs suffer from this, and it pains us that the twst game translation is one of them. It has its own good moment though, like a relatively rich vocabulary, but for us the changes they make are basically a deal breaker.

Plus, we’re weebs, so we need our “senpais” and “kuns” and “chans” to understand the level of closeness/familiarity between the boys.

This is just our preference, and if you enjoy the EN version, it’s alright. We just really don’t.

Rambles incoming :D

idk, i just... I FREAKING LOVE the dazaku writers in pixiv and lofter. I am not fluent in japanese or chinese, heck im not even fluent in english, i read them using google translate (i want to thank google for dazai obama) and its wonky af but THE FEELS!? It hurt, it grabbed me in the lungs and heart. The translation is off but damn the emotions are conveyed perfectly.

And... hm.. i noticed that, how hopeful they are about dazaku relationship? Yeah, they are not good-ish, kinda, sorta abusive. But like, there's hope? You understand? By no means there are lot of writers that don't hesitate to dunk on dazai for what he did to akutagawa. But the things, there's still something.

Im thinking how to say this.

Akutagawa's hate.

Dazai's taunts.

Akutagawa's want for approval.

Dazai withholding that approval.

If dazai don't like akutagawa that much, shouldn't he just gave him that approval and be done with? I know he already acknowledge him way before. He even gush on him to odasaku. akutagawa would probably wont bother him again. But then he doubled down on him, Atsushi is better than you ;). Why taunt him with Atsushi? Atsushi is his coworker, not a student specificaly (something that a lot of writers emphasize, very neat).

Why dazai? do you need him to go crazy for you :D bahahaha loser. Is it because akutagawa the first thing you own that is actually yours? yours that you got to choose yourself? you freaking gave him a mating offer by killing his friends' murders. you idiot. you sad man. what a sad little man. do you want akutagawa to kill you someday so its still considerd suicide by your own hand/creation? you sad sad wet man? you really think that he'd hate you enought to kill you? really? you, the man who gave the akutagawa sibling a home and warm meal? really? hmm? hmm?

see, that's why... call it shallow, but i don't think akutagawa could ever really hate dazai? ish? kinda? the man did save him, even though then he got thrown to another kind of hell on earth. He gave him home, meal, and hope. The meaning of life. Hahahah indeed he's like a dog. that makes dazai that type of dog owners who made a shitty job at taking care of their puppies. the kind that was excited first and (sorta, kinda, idk) neglect/abuse them when they don't do their tricks properly.

i only know games bcs i watch rtgame's youtube, and when he played "Slay the Princess" and then proceed to search about them on tumblr, yeah. "The opposite of love is not hate, but indiference" and yeah, i believe that it also true to dazaku. because in a way, they are in this two person tango of chasing, taunting, i need you to be my eyes, you've become stronger, can you give me the meaning of life. Hate is really visible and the love is so between the lines. But they are not really indifferent to each other.

The love is there! the love is there. yeah, the love is there.

also.

i'm not sure how i came into this conclusion but, "akutagawa doesn't need dazai, but dazai need akutagwa" and yeah, maybe their bsd counterpart is reversed from their real life, but the essential part is still there? Thats my delusion is. I just wanna said that in the end.

if you manage to reach this part. Uh, thank you for reading. Sorry for the typo. I hope its understandable. suffer with meeeee!

Timeline of GGDD Love

Hi yall. This is the index post for the BTS in Order posts. This is the post to bookmark if you want to refer to it later! (The first chunk is just copypasta from the April intro. Read More to get to the links)

I've looked for timelines of the bts before, but what I've found relies heavily on video clips, many of which I don't have access to. So I decided to make a text-focused timeline in English for the bts because I'm all up in my hyperfocus.

I mainly used this playlist on billibilli, though I also looked at a few other playlists (I didn't keep links, I suck). If I came across a video/reference w another date listed for the clip, I added the alternate date in parenthesis at the end. I chose to primarily follow this playlist bc it has a LOT of clips, has clips for every day, and doesn't have anything that immediately jumps out at me as wrong. I also cross-referenced with accio-victuuri's BJYX Timeline bc it's the most complete English timeline I've seen, and I respect the effort involved. And I ultimately I triple-checked against this weibo timeline. Again, alternate dates noted in parenthesis. Not all sources always agreed.

(the note on the primary playlist has this as its explanation of its dating: 广告以官宣日期为整体依据,若跨年度拍摄,则以最新发布日期为依据整��。Which Google translates to "The advertisement is based on the official announcement date as a whole and, if shot across the year, on the latest release date." I can't parse that so *shrug*)

I've listed out the bts scenes by date. I try to describe the known scenes, though I don't list out in detail EVERYTHING that happens (if I say "Xuanwu cave, bondage conversation", I assume you all know everything else that happens around that moment)(Though sometimes I get hype and fangirlish in the descriptions). A lot of scenes were unknown to me, so I tried to describe the setting, costumes, and vaguely what's happening. Most of the scenes I did recognize had more to the clip than the ones I've seen translated.

As none of what I watched had translations, I can't provide much context with that, I'm afraid. I also do not think these are in order within a day. I don't have any way to tell, so the timeline within the day, itself, is probably wonky.

I only included bts for the most part, not stuff the boys were doing outside the production. Everything's color coded. Scenes with only gg are in red. Scenes with only dd are in green. Scenes with both are orange (yellow just isn't readable, sorry). (If there's text with no color, just assume it's the same as the last colored text)

I wrote this literally by going back and forth between billibilli and Google Keep, so the notes are a little off the cuff. Let me know if you have questions or if you don't understand something. Or if you can't identify a particular bts scene you're curious about.

People are also completely free to take this and flesh it out if they want by adding the non-bts stuff. Any mistakes are mine. People are free to correct it as well. Basically, consider this public property for other turtles. So take it, make it your own, create a comprehensive google sheet that details everything in pretty color-coded order with media links that are cross-referenced, filterable, and sortable or whatever (PLEASE SOMEBODY DO THIS).

No need to credit. If you feel you have to, just say a stoopid turtle did it.

Fanfic Preview( Will have angst in it )

Inside the blacksmith's shop a man with dark skin and hair silver with age was hammering away at a horse shoe, sweat beaded from his forehead and the hands that gripped the hammer were sore and caloused from the hard labor. The shoe was dipped in water and watched the steam rise up from the clear pool in the barrel, finally...The shoe was finished.

Bang bang a knock on the door? This was unusual...Usually costumers would see him up front in the shop...Could've been the mail man or maybe even Vari-...Ah but he couldn't come by for another hour or so.

So the tired old man wiped the sweat and soot from his face and hands to give a presentable empression. " Welcome! How may I help- " The door swung open but the greeting was cut short when a girl with pointed ears and freckles with pale blonde waves, dressed in a red long sleeved shirt and bear skins. " Oh Guriel, what brings you here my dear? " Xavier spoke in a jolly voice however the look on the small child's face tugged away at the usual hearty smile this old sir wore for all to see.

Her voice was frail and tired and her hands held what looked to be an old...worn and torn journal. " Xavier...I need you to read something...It was a request from someone you knew? " It sounded like the words were so much like glass that she cracked while saying those last words.

This rough looking man now furrowed his brow and gestured her to come inside.

Boiling tea on the kettle was something Guriel could smell and sense it made her lips curl up into a smile but for some reason even hearing the clinking of cups, the elven girl only looked sicker and more pale like a ghost then she did before sitting down on a chair, the journal was now shaking in her hands like a leaf.

Xavier did not notice this until he set the second cup down and locked eyes with this daughter of Aos  sí kind...The fear and grief in the gray eyes made his stomach drop severly for some odd reason something in his head told him whatever it was in the journal was something that must be braced for. For only pain would come from reading such words that were inside.

" Alright dear Mellon, let's see what is inside this piece of...History perhaps? " The frown deepened on the girl as she nodded gravely. " Now now there's no need to hold such an expression child " He held out a hand to his friend and she took it in comfort " We will read this together "

The brittle journal was opened to reveal the first page...It was in a language he had spoken before...That he had learned before...And the writing was like a voice in his head that was...Heard before.

Mo leanbh, mo chroí is féidir le Dia breathnú ortsa agus aoibh gháire.

Mo chara, mo ghrá, d'fhéadfadh Dia breathnú ortsa agus a leanbh a fheiceáil.

Féadfaidh mo smith, mo theaghlach, Dia breathnú ortsa agus tabhair tú cad a rinne tú ag prayed ... Síocháin.

A lump formed in Xavier's throat and tears formed waves of water threatening to burst out of stone. A name slipped out that made the young girl form tears of her own.

" Anastasia laochra is gaire "

A warrior...A friend...Family... This was a part of Xavier's past...He wasnt ready to look back on.

Beware I will have to clean this part up and it will be edited.

[hanymelon]

Hi! Your art is *chef's kiss* and the ways you draw Mammon solo or with your MC are super cute and I love the way you detail his blushes and expressions so much. I get excited everytime I see you post a new drawing 💕

I was wondering if you had any tips for a beginner artist on, like, anatomy or just starting off in general? I usually just write and stick to that for OM, but some ideas feel like they should be drawn. I get confused with where I should start practicing and usually just drop the idea altogether.

Sorry if that put you on the spot or anything, don't feel bad if you don't wanna answer. I also really just wanted to gush about your art and ty for drawing so much good stuff!

Hi! Awwh thank you so much! ;v; Im so happy you get like my art enough to say that <333 💕💕💕 I know what you mean about getting ideas that feel like they should be drawn. Sometimes i get ideas that i think would be better done in writing. If you wanna share what you've written, id love to give them a read :)) No pressure tho! Ah, i get excited when someone is starting to pick up drawing. It can be challenging but super rewarding. Before i give specific tips, firstly I'd say if you are just starting out, have fun with it and dont stress too much about the technicalities. If you get too caught up with how something doesn't look right or how your anatomy is wonky, you'll bog yourself down and end up not creating at all which is sad :( In the end, its really about getting your ideas down on paper and it shouldn’t be something too too stressful since youre doing it for fun anyway! I have to remind myself that no one is holding me at gunpoint and forcing me to create drawings with perfect anatomy or proportions, im still learning! And thats okay!

[More under the cut bc this got kinda long!]

With that out of the way, here are some tips you can hopefully use. Im not that great at anatomy either, but what helps me a lot is references. Its pretty typical advice, but it really helps me understand form and what the human body can and cant do. like can the arm twist that way? Idk, look up a reference. Although it is the best way, sometimes its really overwhelming to look at actual pictures of humans and trying to translate that to a cartoony anime-ish drawing so you can start out by referencing anime (or cartoons) instead. When i was starting out i used to do little studies on styles that i liked. That can help a lot with seeing how artists you like draw certain things. For example how they make the arms and legs not look stiff, the specific curves they use for the waist, the folds in the clothes, etc etc. (Goes without saying here, but just don't upload your studies or copied drawings on the internet and claim it as your own and you're all good) I’d insert pictures of my own studies but i dont have them with me where i am rn so i cant do that unfortunately sorry! So lets say you have this super specific pose in mind and you cant find a reference for it or youre just too lazy to sort through hundreds of pictures on google or pinterest to find that one perfect ref img. You can just pose and take a picture of yourself. i do this a lot and sometimes get my friends (who are also art students so that makes things easier haha) to help if i need it. If you really dont want to do that tho, something i also do a lot is to do the pose while drawing it. Feeling and seeing where my body naturally leans and where body parts are relative to each other in a certain pose really helps. for example if im drawing someone waving, how far away is the hand from the head, should the elbow be out or close to the body, how long should the forearm be etc etc. Yknow the thing where you make the same expression as the character you're drawing? The way you kinda feel the way its supposed to look? Yeah its like that but for poses fjsv i hope this makes sense. Personally im not a big believer of the "Draw everyday!! Even when you dont feel like it!!" advice. But If youre really enjoying what you do, youd wanna be doing it every day anyway. And the more you draw, the more comfortable itll become and the more things will kind of make sense when you notice patterns as you practice. I guess what im trynna say is make the practice fun and not feel like a bother so you'd wanna do it more and in turn improve more. Its a cycle haha.  Im not the most qualified to give advice but i hope this helped a bit? There are plenty of sources on the interwebs that are very useful and can probably help you a lot. I hope you keep drawing anon! Tldr; Draw what you want, use references, strike the pose and feel your body, make practice fun (whatever that might mean for you), the more you do it the better you’ll get

Arno x Jerico

I used Google translate so if anything Wonky y'know why

Often times parties were a sign of richness and greed.

An special event to celebrate something perhaps too.

Arno,always attracted to these kind of events found his way in.

The colossal Palace was brightly lit with chandeliers hanging from the ostentatious ceilings ornamented with gold and contrasting the white walls.

"Why this big of a party?", he asked himself.

The french Man bumps into someone,they drop their purple fan.

--Oh my most sincere apologies madame

He picked the item up and handed it to the person.

Their eyes meet, its a beautiful woman, porcelain skin and sharp features,big green eyes.

Her eyes were most peculiar, arno felt his breath hitch, he swore they were shining under her cute Hat decorated with sunflowers,Like emeralds under a candle.

Her hair in a bun covered by said hat with a few loose strands of hair.

Her attire was most peculiar, It looked familiar yet New to him.

18th century gown with earthy colours, another dress or something with some kind of turtle neck stamped with sunflowers.

--Oh dont worry--she said in a subtle accent he never heard before-- im too clumsy too

Then a Man,taller than arno looked at this mysterious girl, and spoke to her in a foreign tongue.

--hir kazwiv--(yes father) she answered back--Im sorry but I have to go

And so like that the Man and that enigmatic Lady dissapeared Into the crowd.

Who was she? What language was that?.

--You really outdid yourself this time Ray!

Jer pulled down on the Mans sleeve.

--Dont give me that look we still have to wait 100 Years more to reveal ourselves.

The Man sighed,he loved her daughter dearly but he had to admit that sometimes she was too much to handle.

--That doesnt mean you shouldnt let me have fun!besides he only gave my fan back!.

--ah mr Karuma Von terra and ms. Jerico Von terra,glad you could make it, is france too much to handle?

Ray wants to roll his eyes so bad,but he shakes his head and forces a smile-- not at all

--we Will discuss our arragement with you mr.von terra , let your daughter enjoy her stay at the Palace and have fun , oh and heres the keys to your bedroom ms.Von terra

Jer quickly takes the keys and puts it in her dresses inner pockets,terrans fashion was way out of this centuries reach.

Ray cant say anything before his daughter runs away from his grasp.

Both men walk alongside the other.

--Sadly mr Morgan couldnt make it,being a doctor took a toll on him,however he did say he Will come by to say hello.

Ray nodds

--Children huh?

The terran Man smiles --Yeah, rowdy bunch,however jerico seems to be having fun, shes a Smart kid,sadly until our reveal to the world isnt done I am afraid I cant let her get into trouble,we cant delay this any longer

His companion nodds and guides him to an Office.

Meanwhile,her daughter was talking with some of her father acquaintances.

She politely excused her leave and decided to find some more food to munch on.

The crowd seemed thick and busy.

Arno was looking everywhere for that girl, so much he started to sweat and he rested against a wall.

A soft breeze reached his face and when he Turned to see what was causing it, he felt dumb.

--too warm?--It was that woman she was looking for.

--Im afraid so...., Arno Victor Dorian

--Jerico Von Terra

He softly grabs her spare hand and kisses the back of it.

Her cheeks flush and she lets him hold her hand for a bit longer.

They Keep eye contact for a bit too, and suddenly, realizing that it was in fact too busy for their liking.

The french Man noticed that something was wrong,jeri seemed twitchy and unconfortable.

--Everything okay mademoissele?

She can only shake her head and thats when he realizes shes overwhelmed by the huge crowd.

He nodds and puts a hand on her Lower back trying to find an exit.

There, a stair that leads up to the guest bedrooms.

He pushed her closer to him as they passed the gatherings of people,helping her up the stairs.

Once on the upper floor she makes a signal to arno, he follows up to her bedroom.

Its spacy with decorations on the walls and ceilings,flowers And a big bed, he thought that maybe three people could fit in there.

Jerico sat on the bed, the Man sat with her and grabbed the fan from her shaky hands, using it to cool her down.

She hasnt spoke and whatever was left for him to do was to hesitantly put a hand on her shoulder and then down to her bicep to push her against his chest while still fanning her.

--Thank you

She whispers pressing her head to his chest.

The frenchmans cheeks flush red and tightens his grip around her.

He hasnt felt this way since....since elise,rest in peace.

His heart healed from old wounds a long time ago, and suddenly he felt it Flourish again at the sight of her.

--Anything I can get you?

He asked.

--Maybe water,and could you tell a servant to inform mr von terra that im here?

--Hes your father I suppose?-- she nodds- very Well miss ill be right back....

Arno leaves giving her back the fan, asking for a glass of water and telling a maid to deliver the message to jericos father.

Now the night went on , so did the party.

Altough Ray did not approve of arno being alone with jerico in her room,he trusted his daughters judgement for once.

Jer was looking out the balcony, arno comes from behind and squeezes her shoulder--How are you feeling now belle? (Beautiful?)

--alors vous demandez à tout le monde comment vont-ils?(so thats how you ask everyone how are they?)

--seulement ceux qui me semblent jolis(only to those I find pretty)

--And you find me pretty?

--oui (yes)

Arnos hand holds jericos as they lean into the other,his spare arm hugs her waist and Jers falls loosely around his Lower back.

Their lips press togheter for an instant,before parting away and then again meeting the other.

He felt like not letting go, he didnt want to leave tonight.

He felt his heart explode in Many colours as the vitraux in the cathedral when the sun hits it.

--Stay?--she asked softly as their foreheads pressed togheter.

--How long Will you stay?I cant say goodbye now

Jer felt her chest warm, and pressed a soft kiss on his lips again--A month maybe,but I do wish to see you again monsieur dorian...

Arno lifts her up like a bride and carries her back to the bed where he promptly lets her back rest and hover above her, letting his head fall on the crook of her neck to then cuddle her in said bed.

--Then ill stay

Jerico smiles , hugging him tightly.

Arno knew almost nothing about her,but this whole night felt right.

--bonne nuit chéri(good night sweetheart)

--bonne nuit mon prince( good night my prince)

And they were just getting started.

Every afternoon while Ray discussed the affairs that had brought them there, jerico and arno would sneak out to eat something at the most beautiful cafes in france.

Walk among the shore, and travel the markets.

When the clouds were present and the rain fell mercislessly upon france, they would be found in bed, cuddling eachother in the dark as the fireplace cracked.

And slowly,jer started to reveal who she was.

But not things like,what she liked, what interests she had,wich books she read,he found out about that the first week they spent togheter.

No, where she came from,why so much mistery upon their arrival.

She was a princes from a Place yet to be discovered,or to be revealed to humanity.

He had to spend a whole day processing all the information he was given.

And, yet that only made him want her more.

But love grew and the month fled away fast.

Both lovers were scared of separation, they couldnt be appart for long.

Ray,who had loved as strongly as his daughter did, decided to let her stay in a Palace in the outskirts of france in wich arno would move in a couple of weeks after.

Jer had the opportunity to leave france whenever she wanted.

But seeing that her love for arno was too big,as were his, it seemed that it would be a long time before that would happend.

Now,in a hot summer day, jer was under a tree, Reading when she felt a breeze.

--Mon amour...--her boyfriend said using the same purple fan who helped them meet to cool her down- May I get a kiss?

Jeri giggled at the dorkiness of arno, and nodded, kissing him softly.

They were not letting go any time soon.

《OKAY TO RB AND GUSH IN THE TAGS》

[jean-and-ali-liveblogs]

OH MY GOD, I JUST FINISHED TYPING ALL OF THIS, SORRY, IT’S SO LONG. I don’t even know if anybody will read this, but I already typed it, so gonna post it anyway xD

Ali: Some of you seem to be interested in how this blog works, so have some behind the scenes:

Before Jean can watch anything I need to make subtitles for episode. I start by making raw text file with all the lines from episode translated. To create that file I watch episode with english subtitles on (they are helpful when I can’t hear exactly what is being said). Everytime somebody says something I pause and write down translation for what was said. That part can take from 1 hour to 3 hours. It depends on the episode. Most of them take 1-1,5 hour and only extreme cases take more time. Basically, the more they joke, the more weird words they use, the more songs they sing etc., the harder it gets. 

Easy episodes go like this: watch 2 seconds>pause>write translation>unpause>watch another few seconds>write translation>unpause etc.etc.etc.

Hard episodes go like this: watch 2 seconds>pause>go to synonym’s dictionary>consider what word would be the best>write translation>unpause>watch another few seconds>pause>go find definition of word in google/go look up polish SU wiki>write translation>unpause etc.

So, obviously, the more I need to look around web to figure out how to translate word-play, puns, jokes or specific names of stuff, the longer it takes to finish translation.  (Before I even started translating episode one, I had FOUR HOURS long disscusion between my friends on “how to translate gem(person)/gem(stone)/gems/crystal gems to make it all sound good in polish”)

So, anyway, after that step is done, I am left with this:

Now this raw file needs to be synced with episode. That usually goes super fast, between 30 minutes and one hour. For syncing I have this fancy programm:

While doing that I don’t even watch episode. I just listen to audio from it and I put time stamps on lines based on what I hear. 

So, generally, to translate one episode it takes from 1,5 to 4 hours, depending on how demanding that episode it, how much they talk, how much they joke etc, etc, etc.

Translating from English to Polish is really easy for me, because I understand every single thing they say. I never have a problem of “wtf that mean” or “I don’t know what something means in English”. Its more of “how to make it sound good in Polish” or “how that sentence should look in Polish” problems. Like... I don’t know how to explain it... I may have totally no idea how something in English should look in Polish, but I am able to just understand that like if somebody is talking to me in my own language. When I listen to somebody talk in English or I read something in English, I don’t need to translate that in my head, I just understand it. Examples: I have totally no idea how to say in Polish “what is your point/that’s the point” or “that escalated quickly”, but I know what that means. So when I talk with my Polish friends I often use English phrases, because at some point in my life I also started thinking - in my own head - mostly only in English. ... Which became a problem, especially when I had to write essays in Polish for school and I was thinking about what to write in English. Bigger problem is writing/talking in English, so that’s why all posts here are so wonky sometimes.

ANYWAY! After episode is translated, we can finally liveblog with Jean. That takes from 2 to 3 hours. Again, in depends on episode. After liveblogging session, I am left with from 3 to 6 pages of Microsoft World document, whole liveblog in Polish, that I need to translate to English. And, oh my god, Jean sometimes writes so bizzare sentences that it can take like 3 hours to create final product. While translating liveblog I am mostly focused on keeping Jean style and way of talking. 

So! Basically:

1,5-4 hours for translating episode.

2-3 hours for watching.

Up to 3 hours for translating liveblog.

Sometimes it can take whole day of work to have one episode done. But it’s also TONS OF FUN, so I am doing all that stuff with pleasure.

Um... and I guess that’s all. Oh my god, I typed so much stuff.

BTS In Order - April

So take it, make it your own, create a comprehensive google sheet that details everything in pretty color-coded order with media links that are cross-referenced, filterable, and sortable or whatever (PLEASE SOMEBODY DO THIS).

No need to credit. If you feel you have to, just say a stoopid turtle did it.
