fingering my rosary at a vigil for palestine on good friday morning. the martyred god stands with me. it's just a few of us on a street corner, but people honk and wave. someone brings us bagels. the world is big and painful but the rituals break us open and put us back together.

Just finished my first playthrough of type 0

Okay so FIRSTABLE I didn't realize that the people of the Hewn City are literally trapped under there and not allowed to leave. What the fuck. What the fuck?????

ALSO the sheer nerve of Feyre, who had a full blown meltdown over being locked in a luxurious mansion for 2 seconds, to tell somebody who has been trapped underground for CENTURIES that having every comfort should be enough. Are you kidding me?????

i don't usually talk about translation on here but today i am going to make an exception because GOD did i just have a fucking emotional moment

ok so context first

apart from my translation work/studies, i also do some song translating on the side. specifically vocaloid (& co.) song translating.

the spanish vocaloid community has like a total of one or two semi-reliable translators, which means that many songs are left in either the original japanese or the english subs which many people may not understand. this prompted me to actually translate songs to spanish so people could know what they mean with no interference from middle-ground translations. and i'm doing great! not that anyone is seeing the translations, but i am having a lot of fun doing this and i have many translations already up in my archive (some English translations also sprinkled in, btw)

the song i just translated is PinocchioP's "きみも悪い人でよかった" (I'm Glad You're Evil Too). and jesus fucking CHRIST did it hit like a truck.

this song is very well known in the fandom, as it is possibly the most emotional and beautiful song Pinocchio has ever released. the instrumental is very pretty, the vocals include him in the background, the lyrics are beautifully written... and yet, i never understood why people got so emotional over it. sure, it's a beautiful song, and the lyrics are amazing, but what about it?

remember that one study about how the brain processes your mother tongue vs your other languages? to sum it up, emotional words have a less intense effect when you hear them in a language you speak but is not your mother tongue, as there's a level of detachment involved in the translation process. and that's what was happening to me.

I was halfway through translating the song when i started to feel the prickle of tears behind my eyes. by the last chorus i was outright BAWLING. i could not properly process the intricacies of this song until i sat down myself and started combing it line after line. it was so heart-wrenching, it was painting such a vivid picture...! but at the same time, you could FEEL the love infused in this song. you can feel how down to earth the singer is, and how aware they are of their own mortality. they are CHOOSING to spend time with their loved one, they are thankful for the small things like watching bad movies or having dinner with them, they are just so, so in love it's incredible to see. the way everything is conveyed is so touching you can feel the love as if you yourself were the one in the relationship.

man, it's just perfect. one of the best written vocaloid songs out there... or songs in general, full stop. PinocchioP always has a knack for tugging at your heartstrings (Last Continue, The Vocaloid Songs, 2:30 Life Remaining...), but this is possibly his best lyric work yet.

side note: there is a VERY POPULAR spanish sub video from 2016, but the translation is lifted from English, not Japanese. makes me a bit sad that no good translation was ever released for this song, so that's why i did one myself today ^^;

like why did they change where Vegeta was when Cell announced the cell games in the anime

why did they make this vegeta starting shit with yamcha instead of chillin in the lab with his family? why did they take Bulma out of the lab? Why'd they say she was Out while Dr Brief was repairing 16? Why did they change Bulma working on advanced robotics to running in late with her baby?

it's the same scene except: - Bulma's actively at work being a scientist - Vegeta's not being rude to her (or anyone else!) - Vegeta waits for Trunks instead of leaving the room - Cell interrupted the airwaves, which means Trunks and Vegeta were just hanging out with Bulma and Dr B while they were working

Those are all Great Character Details!! That the anime rails against!!

ok I'm awake and a little more sentient. there is a whole lot of stuff I really really like about the episodes but I think my main disappointment right now is just that. viktor became the machine herald because of his own conviction. he forced himself to become stronger, specifically attempted to remove his own emotions because he felt they made him weak. but now this viktor just gets thrust into this situation, like the hexcore is just manipulating him to do whatever the fuck, he didn't even get to choose what he wanted because jayce chose it for him

something about how jason and piper make leo the best version of himself. the closest he comes to finding peace. and then frank and hazel bring out the worst and most self-sabotaging parts of him. and then jason and piper try to save him and hazel and frank help him die.

the moment people stop being comically against courtney is the day i stop making fun of them for being weird and wrong. stop being weird about a fictional character in ways that are hilariously stupid and ill stop calling you hilariously stupid

[dreaminterlude]

trying to practice restraint by not speaking about it but taeyong’s situation specifically has gotten so out of hand seeing the vilest shit being alleged between him and his sister and the swarm of death threats sent directly to him and his family after a random instagram story from half a year ago of a now confirmed censored single volume of a popular anime. extrapolating from a photo he took of some fucking shoes he was gifted saying hes read and promoted eleven volumes of uncensored whatever without fact checking anything/going off hearsay is so insane? and trying to lump all 4/5 idols in the same way without any nuance or even care for victims of these abuses is just irresponsible. i’m not here to justify or speak on the contents of the original anime itself because i haven’t read it but the way misinformation and crazy uncritical mob behavior functions on stan twitter/tumblr without any critical thinking is disgusting and also makes the content of what’s being criticized completely frivolous. it’s disgusting!
