Phoenix's careful wording in 4-1

I noticed something about 4-1, Turnabout Trump. Phoenix uses very careful wording. He never outright lies, mostly misdirects. Like when he's asked if the locket is his, and he says the locket has his daughter's photo inside. But the most important misdirection here is about the forged card. He never shows it as actual evidence from the crime scene: if you look carefully at his words, he actually shows it as evidence of the reason why the killer would have taken the card. He's even meticulous about verb choices. In the ENG ver,, he even outright says the card is his. Everyone simply assumes. Also Apollo, unknowingly, doesn't present it as evidence from the crime scene, either. Anyway, here are some parts I found particularly incriminating. JP text beside ENG for comparison's sake. I'll only provide translation for the relevant parts (or the parts that differ between versions). But as you can see, the misdirection is there in the JP version as well. Disclaimer : I only studied Japanese for a little while. AA dialogue is pretty simple though. Also English isn't my native language either. Feel free to correct me on anything wrong here. Also note that I'm not trying to make the translations sound natural, I'm mostly trying to explain what the words are saying, sometimes I'll be more literal than others. Translation =/= localization. Translation notes and musings are in small text.

Judge いかがですかな？　弁護人。 Well, Mr. Justice? カードがスリ替えられて、 持ち去られた“理由”‥‥ The question of why the killer would swap out a card has been raised. そのコンキョを提示できますか？ Can you point to a reason? Apollo (‥‥どうやら、 　ここが“勝負どころ”だ！） (…It's now or never!) なぜ、カードは スリ替えられたのか‥‥。 Naze, kaado wa surikaerareta no ka... The defense would like to present evidence to the court… Naze, kaado wa surikaerareta no ka... Why the card was switched... 弁護側は、その“理由”を 提示したいと思います。 Bengogawa wa, sono "riyuu" o teiji shitai to omoimasu. Evidence showing the reason why a card was swapped out! Bengogawa wa, sono "riyuu" o teiji shitai to omoimasu. The defense would like to present that "reason".

Judge これは‥‥まさか！ Could… this be…!? 現場から持ち去られた “５枚目のＡ”ですかッ！ Could this be the missing fifth ace!? Kristoph ば‥‥バカな！ なぜ‥‥なぜ、キミが‥‥ In-Inconceivable! How could you… そんなものを持っているのだッ！ What are you doing with that card!? Apollo そ、それは‥‥その。 （なんだ、このあわてようは‥‥） Um, well, that's the thing… (Why's Mr. Gavin so upset?) （アヤシイ女の子からもらった、 　ただのアヤシイカードなのに） (Ayashii onna no ko kara moratta, tada no ayashii kaado na noni) (It's just a fishy card from some fishy girl…) (Ayashii onna no ko kara moratta, tada no ayashii kaado na noni) It's just a suspicious card given by a suspicious girl... Apollo doesn't even understand the weight of the card when he presents it. He's just doing what Phoenix is pointing him to. He thinks it's just a suspicious card, and he's only using it to provide a "reason". At first, I was confused by this, because he seemed convinced later on that the card was real. But it appears that at first, he was indeed suspicious of it. It's just as the trial goes on, he's manipulated to think the card is indeed real. Because he trusts Mr. Wright, which *seems* to say it's real. Phoenix そのカードはね。 あの晩、事件の後‥‥ 《ボルハチ》で、 ぼくが拾ったんだよ。 Sono kaado wa ne. Ano ban, jiken no ato... "Boruhachi" de, boku ga hirotta n da yo. Oh, that card? It's mine. That is, I picked it up at the Borscht Bowl Club that night after the murder had occurred. カードは商売道具だからね。 ‥‥ムスメにわたしておいたんだ。 Kaado wa shoubai dougu dakara ne. ...Musume ni watashite oita n da. I gave it to my daughter. Cards are her stock and trade, after all. In the ENG, 'It's mine' is actually an addition. Maybe to drive the point home more? The rest is the same though.

Phoenix じゃ、ハナシをつづけようか。 Ja, hanashi o tsuzukeyou ka. Allow me to elaborate. Ja, hanashi o tsuzukeyou ka. Well then, let's continue this discussion? (fun fact: hanashi can also be traslated as 'story', or even 'fable', you could say hanashi is the noun version of the verb hanasu (to talk, tell) so it's basically anything you 'talk' about) この“血痕”が原因だった としたら、どうでしょう。 Kono "kekkan" ga gen'in datta to shitara, dou deshou. What if this trace of blood was the reason? Kono "kekkan" ga gen'in datta to shitara, dou deshou. (what) If this ''bloodstain'' was the cause... what do you think? The 'dou deshou' is usually also traslated as 'what do you think?' - it's used after you make a statement and you want to ask for the other person's opinion. But mostly it's a rethoric question. 'What about it?' would also fit. Also interesting how "bloodstain" is in quotation marks...

Phoenix 現場写真‥‥被害者の頭部を もう一度、よく見てください。 Take another look at the photo… and at the victim's head. 犯行の瞬間、帽子は床に落ちて、 このとおり‥‥ At the moment of the crime, his hat fell to the floor… ひとすじの血が、 後頭部に向かって流れています。 …and a trickle of blood ran from his forehead down the back of his head. この血が、一滴。カードに落ちた。 ‥‥そうは考えられないでしょうか。 Kono chi ga, hitoshizuku. Kaado ni ochita. ...Sou wa kangaerarenai deshou ka. Couldn't a drop of that blood have fallen on one of the cards? Kono chi ga, hitoshizuku. Kaado ni ochita. ...Sou wa kangaerarenai deshou ka. This blood, this drop. Fell on the card. ...Is that unthinkable? / ...Is that unimaginable? He's basically proposing a theory. Not said the card in Apollo's hand is actually the one. Apollo カードに、血が‥‥ Kaado ni, chi ga... I suppose… Kaado ni, chi ga... On the card, the blood (fell)... Apollo is following along with what he's saying. Phoenix ハンニンは、それをかくすために カードを持��去ったのです。 Hannin wa, sore o kakusu tame ni kaado o mochisatta no desu. The killer then took the card to hide the blood. Fun choice of words. 'no desu' = 'the explaination is that...' or, in this case: 'the explaination would be...' This is the more literal translation just to make it more obvious how he phrases it: The culprit, in order to hide that he took the card the explaination would be So in a way that it's actually comprehensible: The explaination would be that the culprit took the card in order to hide that (the blood).

Kristoph 成歩堂！　キミも 一度は法廷に立ったオトコだ。 Wright! Regardless of how you wasted the last seven years, you used to be a lawyer! 証拠品を隠すことが、 どれだけ大きな“罪”であるか‥‥ You know what a serious crime it is to conceal evidence! Phoenix そのギロンはあとだよ、先生。 それよりも‥‥ Sono giron wa ato da yo, sensei. Sore yori mo... Oh, we can discuss the finer points of our legal system later… Found it funny how he calls him 'sensei' but in a way that is very mccking. 'Sensei' means someone who is masterful/very knowledgeable in something, in this context, law. He says 'Let's leave that discussion for later, sensei. More importantly...' これで、きみの疑問に 答えるコトができたようだね。 Kore de, kimi no gimon ni kotaeru koto ga dekita you da ne. What's important now is that I've answered your question. Kore de, kimi no gimon ni kotaeru koto ga dekita you da ne. And with that, I was able to answer your question, wasn't I? Basically says the same thing, but uses 'dekiru' = 'to be able to' Kristoph な。なんのコトですか？ Wh-What are you talking about? Phoenix ハンニンがカードを 持ち去った“理由”だよ。 Hannin ga kaado o mochisatta "riyuu" da yo. You wanted to know why the killer would have taken a card from the crime scene. Hannin ga kaado o mochisatta "riyuu" da yo. The "reason" the culprit took the card. カードに残った、１滴の血。 Kaado ni nokotta, hitoshizuku no chi. And now, I've told you. A drop of blood, it feel on the card. (That was why) 彼にとっては“致命的”だった。 ‥‥だから、持ち去った。 Kare ni totte wa "chimeiteki" datta. ...Dakara, mochisatta. That one drop of blood would have been decisive evidence, you see. Kare ni totte wa "chimeiteki" datta. ...Dakara, mochisatta. For him, that (the drop of blood) was 'fatal'. ...So, he took it.

Overall, the word choice in both JP and ENG is very careful, but in different ways since... obviously they're different languages with different idiosyncrasies. In conclusion....

Phoenix basically treated the card not as evidence from a crime scene, but more of an example, a recreation, a construction. Never said that was the actual card. Made people assume. Didn't correct them. So... he manipulated their thoughts. He's like 'oh, you want to know the reason? well, let's see, why would the killer take the card...? well maybe it had incriminating evidence on it - oh what kind of evidence? look at this card here - see this drop of blood? what if the blood fell from the victim's head on the card? so he had to take it - because it would have made it obvious the killer entered from the secret passage and how the murder actually happened' Something that breaks my heart immensly about all this is that Apollo is so adamant at the start of the trial that Mr. Wright would never lie... and he's furious and heartbroken that he basically manipulated him (and everyone else), instead. Phoenix literally couldn't lie anyway, because then Apollo would have known. If you think about it, it's kind of how Engarde was able to lie to Phoenix even though he had the magatama. He purposefully and meticulously manipulated people to think the evidence was real, without ever saying it. Putting the words in other people's mouths. (Also... at least to me, this seems a very prosecutor-like tactic. Perhaps even Von Karma-like.)

Why does he even tell Apollo that he forged it? (He didn't have to.) Because he felt guilty. Apollo asks how he can call himself an attorney and he tells him he, in fact, doesn't call himself one. Doesn't have the right to. Phoenix isn't a liar - he says so himself after the trial, he never lied - but he sure is a manipulator here. But he does feel guilty. He lets Apollo punch him. And he smiles. I think this shows how even when we believe that what we're doing is wrong, we might do it anyways. Out of desperation, anyone might cave and go against their own morals.

Imagine m!reader is an artist who says that they plan on drawing/painting Angel and Angel thinking that they're going to draw him all sexy like and keeps inviting him to come to his room to get some 'nice references' on how to draw him but when m!reader actually reveals their picture of Angel, it's actually Angel smiling while covered in flowers like holding a bouquet with a flower crown on, so real sincere soft looking paintings instead of the lewd stuff Angel was expecting.

𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 -- 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐃𝐮𝐬𝐭…(𝑯𝒂𝒛𝒃𝒊𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒍)

(𝐰𝐜): 587

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: When Angel finds out you plan on drawing him, he's pleasantly surprised to find out the nature of it.

(𝐀/𝐍): shamefully looking into my inbox with month old asks... nony x6 i am very sorry

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠(𝐬): sex talk, not really actually it's brief mentions, but then there's super cute gushy stuff yayyyy

                                                        𓆩♡𓆪

♡ You mention in passing that you want to draw him, thinking nothing of it

♡ Angel wouldn't let that slide though

♡ Obviously Angel gets drawn often, but he couldn't care less about that

♡ To know that you, somebody he's actually attracted to, wanted to draw him...

♡ You would never hear the end of it

♡ Angel pesters you constantly about it

♡ He does assume that you meant a sexual drawing, even though you were very calm and casual when you mentioned it. He just thought you were ballsy (and maybe already drew some)

♡ He never forgets to bring it up in conversation, if it's just to you or with others around

♡ He'll slip in the fact that you've been drawing sexy pictures of him in any conversation he can. If it seems like he can't, he changes the topic until he can

♡ He also never fails to offer you personal references for the drawing, even a "test drive" if you "aren't sure" how to draw him intimately

♡ You always stay polite though, merely gently rejecting or laughing off his suggestive comments with a flustered demeanor

♡ While Angel was bragging about the "sex art" you were making of him, you made one little doodle of him in your sketch book every night

♡ None of them were sexual like Angel had assumed. Each had its own sweet theme, from Angel surrounded by flowers to him during a moment of peace

♡ There were some made from your creativity, like Angel Dust with a bouquet of his favorite flowers

♡ But most of them were from real moments where he hadn't noticed you'd been drawing him. From him cuddling with Fat Nuggets, when he was smiling in a conversation, him in your favorite outfit of his, to him in his messy pajamas

♡ You made each drawing with pure infatuation

♡ Which is exactly why you put off showing him for so long. You were so nervous he'd feel uncomfortable by your art you hadn't noticed how desperate he was just to have something from you

♡ Eventually, you decided to just show him anyway

♡ You invited him into your room late one night and Angel made such a show of "getting ready" for you

♡ He came with his favorite pink robe and was surprised to see you still in your casual clothes with a notebook on your lap

♡ Angel sat next to you as you flipped through the book, which was entirely dedicated to him

♡ Every time he thought he would finally see himself in a sexy pose, he didn't

♡ His heart warmed as you explained the intention behind every doodle and how much thought you put into it

♡ Eventually, he completely forgot about why he was there in the first place

♡ He became so relaxed, his head found place on your shoulder as you droned on about your drawings

♡ You both relaxed into the bed as conversation moved from your art to random topics

♡ It wasn't long until Angel shuffled into your arms and fell asleep

♡ But you were so relieved, you couldn't help but fall asleep with him

ooo could you write something where y/n and sap have been dating for a while and maybe it’s a bit angsty bc y/n wants everyone to know they’re dating but sap is scared ( or the other way around) of telling people so maybe they have an argument but then he does the cutest n sweetest reveal post ever

if i’m making sense

i feel like this trope is sometimes overused and done incredibly wrong, but i think I've done it justice. thank you so much for requesting 🥰🥰

anyway, enjoy! or dont :) m.list

bf!sapnap wanted it to be known that you were dating. that you were his, and he was yours. it was a no-brainer for him. he wanted to he able to kiss you in public, let alone go out with you. he wanted to stream with you and show off how amazing you are. but you just weren't ready yet.

you were so sure people would be angry to know he was dating someone rather than be happy you were a good person. you'd heard way too many stories, seen too many situations to think you'd be welcomed with open arms.

and bf!sapnap tried to respect that. but after a few months, it was too much. he wanted to go on dates with you.

"baby?" he asked you softly. you hummed in acknowledgment, looking up from your laptop momentarily. "i wanna tell people about you."

you stopped your movements and looked over to your boyfriend. he looked nervous. and rightfully so. you had been shutting down the idea for the past couple of months.

"nick... we've talked about this..." you told him softly, feeling your heart break at the way his shoulders seemed to droop. he nodded and ran a hand over his face, frustrated.

"i dont give a shit what people think! i just want to be able to leave the house with my girlfriend!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms up in defeat.

"well, i do," you told him incredulously. "i mean, i would get shit on so quickly. a-and not to mention if we went out, it wouldn’t really be peaceful."

"so you don't want to tell people because youre scared?" he crossed his arms.

"yes," you sat up, pushing your laptop off to the side. "im scared. ive never been in the eye of the public and this fandom you have? its fucking crazy."

"but i want to tell them about you. you're my life. and i want to share that with them," he told you simply. as if it could be that simple for you too. "and if they don't like you, i won't care. I'll just tell them all to fuck off."

you let out an amused scoff, "you'll tell them to fuck off?"

"mhm."

"and what else?" you asked, completely amused by the simplicity of his solutions.

"I'll ban all of them," he huffed.

"all of them?"

"yup, all of them. even if theres no one left watching me, i know you'll still be there," he said softly. he stepped closer to you. "and they'll all be gone, knowing that im happy with my girl. and when they see us out on dates, they can fuck right off.

you but your lip, trying to hide your smile. he felt his heart warm at the sight. he already knew your answer.

bf!sapnap who, as soon as you give him the green light, posted a picture of you two to his instagram.

the picture was a selfie of you two. your face was squished up against his and big grins on both of your faces.

you two were just hanging out that day, laying in bed together, and feel particularly cuddly. you remember wanting to be as close to him as possible when you took the picture. and that was the result.

he captioned it with "whos that really hot guy next to my gf???"

bf!sapnap who went through the comments and all the tweets with you, feeling content with all the nice comments flooding through and with the smile on your face.

in the words of an amazing poet: yeet, yeet, skert, yeet yeet, skirt, skirt, skirt. roll up. drop that. skirt that. pop that-

im sorry, i dont know what came over me.... -nony

An Unexpected Encounter~Noni Madueke

London was lively that evening, the streets glowing with reflections from the holiday decorations and the hurried footsteps of passersby. You found yourself in a downtown café, one of those refined yet cozy places, where the air was filled with the aroma of coffee and cinnamon. You were supposed to meet a friend who, at the last minute, had texted to cancel.

You decided to stay anyway, ordering a cappuccino. There was no rush, and London at night always had its charm.

“Excuse me, is this seat taken?” a deep voice made you look up. Standing before you was him. Noni Madueke. A shy smile, a long coat, and a cap that tried to make him blend in. But for you, it was impossible. You’d followed his career, from his moves at PSV to his games at Chelsea. He was your favorite player.

“Oh… no, no. It’s free. Please, go ahead,” you stammered, trying to mask your excitement, though it was probably obvious.

He sat down and pulled out his phone, then set it on the table, glancing at you. “Are you here alone?”

“Uh… yeah, my friend canceled on me,” you replied, feeling a bit awkward, though you couldn’t ignore the fact that he was talking to you.

“Happens to me a lot, too. Maybe it’s for the best sometimes. A little time to think,” he paused, then added, “I didn’t even introduce myself. I’m Noni.”

You couldn’t help but smile. “I know who you are.”

He chuckled softly, looking away briefly. “Of course. Don’t know why I always do that. It’s a habit.”

The conversation began naturally. He told you he was in London for a short break from training, how he loved walking the city streets at night to escape the chaos of being recognized. Then, he asked about you.

You talked about your job, your interests, and how you ended up in London. It was surprising how attentive he was, how genuinely interested he seemed.

After an hour, as the café began to empty, he asked, “Would you like to take a walk?”

You agreed without hesitation. You strolled through the lit-up streets, with him occasionally glancing at you, as if curious about every reaction.

“You know, it’s rare that I get to talk like this with someone who doesn’t just see me as ‘the footballer,’” he said at one point. “You make me feel normal.”

“Well, maybe it’s because I don’t see you only as a footballer. You seem like an interesting person, Noni.” The courage in your words surprised him. You could tell by the way he stopped, his hands in his pockets, looking directly at you.

“You know, I think this has been the best evening I’ve had in months.” He paused, then stepped a little closer. “Can I see you again?”

Your heart started racing. “I think I’d like that.”

From that moment on, London was never the same. Evening walks became a habit, meeting at small cafés and sharing endless conversations under the starry sky a ritual. Discovering the more human side of Noni, his dreams and fears, became a part of your life.

One evening, after an important match you’d watched live at the stadium on his invitation, he approached you as you both left together.

“You know, football is my whole life. But you… you’re the reason it all feels even more special.”

You couldn’t hold back a smile. “And you’re the reason I’ve never felt so alive.”

That night, under the city lights, he took your hand. And it was the beginning of something wonderful.

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! Hope everyone had a good week!

@innbetween Season 5: This season was so fun! The Lowlifes are such a fun group to follow, and it's been so interesting to learn more of how they got to this point. Though I feel like one of them is a bit more of a lowlife than the others... Next season is going to be wild!

@midnightburgr Chapter 40 - Romney for America: Earth stuck in 2012, but located in another galaxy? Hwat? David experiencing his first trip into the cosmos is fun! Caspar experiencing David's first trip into the cosmos is also very fun! Losing Maloo was not fun. I'm glad the diner is going to take them to rescue all of the refugees. Seems like they have quite the challenge ahead of them...

@desertskiespodcast Chapter 20 - If I have to Wait a Million Years: More clues to Nony's story! I know that whenever we get the whole picture, I'm going to bawl my eyes out. I can just feel the emotions that her whole story is steeped in. I am currently worried for all of our attendants though! Bad news indeed!

@starfallpod S2E4 - Act 1 Scene xvi: An episode of Starfall without Leona, Fel or Dalyn?? It's more likely than you think... Ozzie has NO qualms saying exactly what she thinks and it is VERY entertaining. And is that growth from Hosse I see there?

@hinaypod 48.2 - J & Dooley part 2: I have been waiting for this moment for so long! The J & Dooley reunion ♥️. Alasdair Stuart did an absolutely incredible job with this episode. I was holding my breath and/or crying for most of it. Such an emotional performance, and an emotional moment for these two characters. It was the old man yaoi we may not have deserved, but we got anyway. Also J's wife is the absolute best!

Things that happen at home:

So, me and my husband had to put down Noni cat last weekend, but her funeral was this weekend (basically because dad and middle sister couldn’t make it) but my dad brought the ingredients for her concrete slab tombstone and Middle Sister brought hugs and flowers.

It was a nice afternoon. We dug the grave in a nice spot in the front yard where I’d planted some irises that my grandparents gave me a few years ago, my dad micromanaged the mixing of concrete (to be expected, he literally got his Ph. D. in concrete structural engineering) then we held hands and said a quick prayer and got lunch and talked about Noni a bit before we started making plans for American Thanksgiving.

My husband was a mechanic before all this surgery stuff happened, and he happened to have a really nice wooden Snap On box that was lying around, so that was the “coffin” and my mom brought extra shovels with different heads, so we got the box a good two feet down.

I did the writing on the concrete slab, which was harder than I remembered it being.

Dad was funny; he’s very dry, so you honestly can’t tell if he’s fucking with you sometimes, but he’s the person who knows the most about concrete. At this point in my relationship with him, I just do exactly what he instructs and wait for him to do his quiet snort thing to see if he’s actually fucking with me. 9 times out of 10 he just gives you very serious instructions, then corrects you to SEEM like he’s being a typical nitpicking engineer, when whatever you are doing doesn’t actually effect the outcome…and then just watches you quietly for his own amusement.

Anyway, based on certain science projects from middle school and high school, I do actually know that he was being serious about how to mist concrete, but I also am vaguely aware that the type of misting that he’s talking about is only genuinely important for concrete structures meant to support millions of tons of weight.

Am I still going to mist my 12”x12” concrete cat tombstone every hour for the next 24 hours and every six hours for the next 7 days?

Yes.

My daddy told me that’s what’s best for the concrete and therefore what’s best for my poor dead cat.

Even though I know he’s fucking with me. It’s done out of love and he will genuinely think it’s hilarious.

*taps the mic* *clears throat* so… every carat is kinda familiar with the concept of stoner!vernon, right? i mean i guess we’ve all thought about it at some point… after reading the hot takes on feedee nonie, my mind can’t not obsess on the concept of stoner vernon who just graduated and is living by himself so no one’s around to regulate his (yeah, bad) habits. he has the munchies almost every time he finishes a blunt, which leads to not only weird combinations but a soft middle as the times goes by <3

what ensues:

seungkwan, his next-door neighbor, noticing that each week/month he meets his friendly, cute secret crush, he seems to be… different. cuter? he doesn’t know. but he thinks he looks prettier. it’s like his cheeks are begging to be pinched. (also i love the concept of seungkwan being kinda oblivious to nonie’s smoking habits so in a lot of encounters vernon’s like red-glassy-eyed and seungkwan thinks he’s had a hard day or something… “poor boy, must feel so lonely…” when in fact he’s probably lost in another dimension).

lee chan, the guy from the nearest convenience store, vernon’s acquaintance, teasing him about the amount of chips and sweets and soda he keeps buying with more frequency as his cravings get more intense. chan doesn’t spare the comments about vernon coming in in sweatpants ‘cause “did the gross amount of chips caught up to you, finally? your jeans gave up, didn’t they?” which merely has vernon cursing saying he needs to respect his elders.

jihoon, vernon’s mentor at the studio he works at, being not subtle at all when it comes to how the chairs start creaking under his dongsaeng’s weight, “careful not to end up stuck,” he jokes. vernon, never high at work hours, blushes violently since it’s the first time he’s consciously experimenting someone pointing out his new frame. jihoon proceeds to make the conversation lighter, claiming it’s normal for those who work behind the scene and seated all day to pack up a few pounds (vernon doesn’t really believe him, since jihoon is all muscle and thinness. god. maybe it’s time for a diet, isn’t it?)

vernon tries, he swears he tries. it’s just hard to control his appetite now that he completely ruined his eating patterns. the cravings. the hunger. maybe he should just light a cig to relax. (the cycle continues)

wonwoo as his best friend! they smoke together! wonu witnesses one of vernon’s indulgences, thinks there’s something oddly hot about it. maybe he even feeds him? (i’m a sucker for wonsol aha).

anyway. kinda want this to be verkwan, kinda want to make each boy dote on nonie in a different way. seokmin and soonyoung definitely tease him about his ass (from modest to “wow, vernonie, since when did you enhanced this back view?”), minghao can be an on-and-off friend who he sometimes sleeps with and surely appreciate the softness. mingyu as a singer who gets assigned to him at the studio, they bond and one night they’re at gyu’s place, vernon about to lose himself in mingyu’s cooking skills? there’s so many possibilities!!

Hihi, he’s not actually pro PRO, since he’s still in his 3rd year of university. He plays in inter college n club tournaments, is a part of a local league. he has considered going actually pro after he’s done n im sure he can do it he’s just that good. He’s been offered scholarships for higher education due to his performance in these tournaments but he’s still yet to decide on that!

Ah n about how we started talking etc etc Oh my goodness I love this questionnnn so. I was definitely not in a mood for relationships after my ex but i saw him n was like oh he kinda cute but nvm. His smile was so pretty, he gets a dimple on his right cheek so ehhhh. I was near their table when one of his friends tapped on my shoulder n said something along the lines of “my buddy here thinks you’re- n then my to-be bf covered his mouth with his palm n they all started laughing??? I was all 😑🤨 Are u laughing AT ME or…?????? i thought they were a bunch of assholes making inappropriate comments n laughing like it’s the funniest thing in the world..cons of working at a night club is that u run into men like this all the fucking time

As they were all leaving, he came to me n apologised if he or his friends made me uncomfy n he just thought i was pretty n they weren’t insulting or making fun of me. I was all ???!!)??! okay??!!!??!! He said we could exchange insta n I wasn’t really that sure but said ok anyways.

He sent in a text apologising again the next day n he told me what he does where he studies etcetc. I did the same n he later told me he would love to take me out sometime but I explained to him that i had ended a not so good relationship just a couple of months ago so I didn’t want to be in the dating pool.

Glad he understood n didn’t push me further, we just continued to chat n never realised how close he had gotten. He invited me to one of his matches, from there we went to get Indian food (yum) n Ig that was it. He dropped me off to my apartment, I invited him n we talked about stuff….feelings…n :D yay !??!?

(⁄ ⁄•⁄ꇴ⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ ʏ-ʏᴏᴜ ᴀᴄᴛᴜᴀʟʟʏ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴍᴇ?

Good golly miss molly this ask is an insane amount of jdlajsfdkaTHANKYOUYOU'RESOCUTE, it's not even funny! THANK YOU. YOU'RE SO CUTE. (♡´𓋰`♡)

Yes, I'm sorry, I know it's very angsty! :'( I actually really love suffering so long as it's for love--I'm one of those useless hopeless romantics like that--but I have many friends who really dislike it, so I know it can be a real turn-off for people. Thankfully, it seems a bunch of other hopeless romantics found their way here, too, so I don't have to feel so bad about the torment heh. :D We'll call it "suffering with purpose"? ;)

And, listen, you know what you did here? You said the ONE thing to me that makes me happiest of all--down with featureless MCs! I like flesh-and-blood OCs that I can envy and cheer for and yell at haha. I'm happy to have any converts to the cause. (I know I rant about this too much, but I can't help how passionate I am about it.)

So, seriously, this was such a warm and wonderful ask. Thanks again, a nony mouse. ;) You're great. <3

[kumezyzo]

hii, its 🐇

i was wondering if i could make a request; sapnap secretly is head over heels for reader but only his friends know and they tease him for it, causing him to become a nervous wreck around reader

it can be headcanons or a fic i don't mind!! thank uu

again, super short, please dont hate me 😭 thank you for requesting this months ago 😭😭 i made it a little angsty as per my writing style, but i hope you dont mind. it gets a lil fluffy at the end. no real angst here 😁

anyway, enjoy! or dont :) m.list

crush!sap really just wants to be around you. he doesn't realize that doing that makes him short-circuit.

he becomes a blushing mess. he talks like a bumbling idiot. he laughs at all your jokes. it gets to the point where his heart rate speeds up with even the mention of your name. and he begins to think it isn't very healthy for him.

everyone around you seemed to know crush!sap was obsessed with you. whenever he made a move to stand closer to you, talk to you, or even just stare at you for too long, the people around you would share a knowing glance. until it got slightly annoying and they started teasing him

"sapnap, stop flirting with them and get your ass over here."

"oooh, they're flirting againnnn!"

"so then you- can you stop staring at them and pay attention??!"

and his reaction was always the same. blushing, looking away from you, and running away from you.

then, crush!sapnap truly started avoiding you. for his own medical safety. and you began to assume it was cause he didn't like being thought of as your bf.

but, you talked to him about it. cause that was the only way you thought it could quell your thoughts.

"hey, can we talk?"

"oh. um- uh- y-yeah, sure..."

"are you avoiding me?"

he was already blushing by you catching him off-guard. now, you had caught onto his plan and it made him feel a little sick.

"why would- ha- why would you say that?" he would ask nervously.

"look, its fine if you are... i guess. i just kinda wanted to know why..." you'd say awkwardly. he would just stare at you, opening his mouth to say something but shutting it over and over like a fish. "mostly because i like you and i recently started thinking you felt the same way. so if thats not the case and thats why you're avoiding me then-"

"no! no thats not why!" he would say nervously, trying to interupt you before the conversation went somewhere he could reverse. "its because i like you!"

you stare at him, puzzled. "...huh?"

"you make me go fucking crazy. all the time," he sighs. "and it actually hurts when i see you and i know you're not mine. so i would rather just... not see you all together..."

"oh..." butterflies would errupt in your stomach. and your heart would start beating abnormally hard. abnormally quickly. and you started to realize why he needed to get away from you.

happy ending, kisses and hugs. just realized i lowkey fucked up the tenses at the end... -nony

Episode 18 : The First-class Mage Exam / 第18話『一級魔法使い選抜試験(Ikkyu-Mahotsukai Senbatsu Shiken)』

＊Green colored words are only in anime, not in original manga, and we usually call them "ani-ori(anime-original)".

〈勇者ヒンメルの死から29年後。北側諸国・キュール地方。〉

〈Yusha Hinmeruno shikara niju-kyu-nengo. Kitagawa-shokoku, Kyūru-chiho.〉

〈29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero, in Kühl Region located in the northern lands〉

シュタルク「あれが北側諸国最大の魔法都市オイサーストか。」

Shutaruku “Arega Kitagawa-shokoku saidaino maho-toshi Oisāsutoka.”

Stark “So that’s the largest magical city in the northern lands, Äußerst.”

フリーレン「まだまだ遠いね。途中で馬車でも捕まえないと。」

Furīren “Mada-mada tooine. Tochude basha-demo tsukamae-naito.”

Frieren “We’re still a long ways away. We’ll need to hitch a ride on a carriage on our way there.”

フェルン「あそこでフリーレン様が一級魔法使いの資格を取れば、北部高原に入れますね。」

Ferun “Asokode Furīren-samaga ikkyu-mahotsukai no shikakuo toreba, Hokubu Kogenni haire-masune.”

Fern “Once you get your first-class mage certification there, we’ll be able to enter the Northern Plateau.”

フリーレン「別に資格を取るのは私じゃなくてもいいと思うけどね。どうせすぐ使えなくなっちゃうし。フェルンが取ればいいじゃん。」

Furīren “Betsuni shikakuo torunowa watashija nakutemo iito omou-kedone. Dose sugu tsukaenaku-nacchaushi. Ferunga toreba iijan.”

Frieren “I don’t think I have to be the one to get certified. I won’t be able to use it for long, anyway. You should get certified, Fern.”

フェルン「フリーレン様、知らない���ですか？一級魔法使いというのは、魔法使いの中でも、ほんの一握りの熟練の魔法使いなんですよ。私なんかでは無理です。」

Ferun “Furīren-sama shiranain-desuka? Ikkyu-mahotsukaito iunowa, mahotsukaino nakademo honno hito-nigirino jukurenno mahotsukai nandesuyo. Watashi-nanka-dewa muridesu.”

Fern “Ms.Frieren, don’t you know? Only a handful of the most skilled mages have ever gained a first-class certification. I certainly couldn’t manage it.”

フリーレン「ふーん。そうなんだ。」

Furīren “Fūn. Sonanda.”　

Frieren “Oh, really?”

フェルン「興味なさそうですね。」

Ferun “Kyomi nasaso-desune.”

Fern “You don’t seem interested.”

シュタルク「今更だけどよ。どうして北部高原に入るのに、そんなすげぇ魔法使いの同行が必要なんだ？」

Shutaruku “Imasara dakedoyo. Doshite Hokubu-Kogenni hairu-noni, sonna sugee mahotsukaino dokoga hitsuyo nanda?”

Stark “It’s a bit late to ask, but why do we need to be accompanied by a crazy-powerful mage to enter the Northern Plateau, anyway?”

フリーレン「昔から北部高原は、幻影鬼（アインザーム）みたいな狡猾な魔法を使う魔物が多いからね。もともと僧侶と優秀な魔法使いがいないと越えられないような難所だ。とはいえ通行に貴重な熟練の魔法使いを要求するってことは、北部高原では相当厄介なことが起こっているんだろうね。」

Furīren “Mukashi-kara Hokubu-Kogenwa, Ainzāmu-mitaina kokatsuna maho’o tsukau mamonoga ooi-karane. Moto-moto soryoto yushuna mahotsukaiga inaito koerarenai-yona nanshoda. Towa-ie tsukoni kichona jukurenno mahotsukaio yokyu-surutte-kotowa, Hokubu-Kogen-dewa soto yakkaina kotoga okotte-irun-darone.”　

Frieren “The Northern Plateau has long been inhabited by many cunning, magic-using monsters like the Einsam. It’s a dangerous region that you once couldn’t cross without a priest and a skilled mage. That said, if someone as valuable as a skilled mage is required to travel through the area, something pretty serious must be happening on the Northern Plateau.”

フリーレン「オイサーストに着いたら試験のことについて調べるよ。フェルンの話だと実戦もあるみたいだし、対策を考えないと。」

Furīren “Oisāsutoni tsuitara shikenno kotoni tsuite shiraberuyo. Ferunno hanashi-dato jissenmo aru-mitai-dashi, taisakuo kangae-naito.”

Frieren “We’ll look into the exam once we arrive in Äußerst. According to Fern, there’s a combat test. I’ll need to come up with a strategy.”

フェルン「フリーレン様の魔力なら、どんな試験内容でも余裕なんじゃないですか？制限している状態でも、熟練の老魔法使いくらいの魔力が出ていますよ。」

Ferun “Furīren-samano maryoku-nara, donna shiken-naiyo-demo yoyu-nanja naidesuka? Seigen shiteiru jotai-demo, jukurenno romahotsukai-kuraino maryokuga dete-imasuyo.”

Fern “Aren’t you powerful enough to easily handle any kind of test? Even when you’re suppressing your mana, you still produce as much as an experienced old mage.”

フリーレン「老魔法使いって言うな。」

Furīren “Romahotsukaitte iuna.”

Frieren “Don’t call me an old mage.”

シュタルク「あーあ、すねちゃったぞ。老魔法使いは流石に酷いんじゃねぇか。」

Shutaruku “Āa, sunechattazo. Romahotsukaiwa sasugani hidoinja neeka.”

Stark “Now she’s sulking. Don’t you think calling her an old mage was a bit mean?”

フェルン「すみませんでした。」

Ferun “Sumimasen-deshita.”

Fern “I’m sorry.”

フリーレン「シュタルクがクソババァって言ったことも忘れてないから。」

Furīren “Shutarukuga kusobabaatte itta-kotomo wasurete-naikara.”

Frieren “I haven’t forgotten that you called me an old hag, Stark.”

シュタルク「いつの話だよ…」

Shutaruku “Itsuno hanashi-dayo…”

Stark “How long ago was that?”

フリーレン「もーいい。寝る。オイサーストに着いたら起こして。」

Furīren “Mō ii. Neru. Oisāsutoni tsuitara okoshite.”

Frieren “Forget it. I’m going to sleep. Wake me when we get to Äußerst.”

フェルン「もー…」

Ferun “Mō…”

Fern “Sheesh.”

フリーレン「やっぱりいいや。」

Furīren “Yappari iiya.”

Frieren “Actually, never mind.”

シュタルク「どうしたんだよ？」

Shutaruku “Doshitan-dayo?”

Stark “What’s wrong?”

フリーレン「空が半分しか見えなかった。」

Furīren “Soraga hanbun-shika mienakatta.”

Frieren “I could only see half the sky.”

シュタルク「え？」

Shutaruku “E?”

Stark “What?”

フリーレン「言っておくけどね。フェルン。魔法使いの強さを決めるのは魔力だけじゃないよ。技術や経験、扱う魔法やコントロール、それに努力と根性。」

Furīren “Itte-okukedone. Ferun. Mahotsukaino tsuyosao kimeru-nowa maryoku-dakeja naiyo. Gijutsuya keiken, atsukau mahoya kontorōru, soreni doryokuto konjo.”

Frieren “Just so you know, Fern, mana isn’t the only factor that determines a mage’s strength. Technique, experience, the spells they use, their control… There’s effort and tenacity, too.”

シュタルク「何か戦士みたいなの交ざってんな。」

Shutaruku “Nanka senshi mitainano mazattenna.”

Stark “Some of those sound more like warrior traits.”

フリーレン「そして才能。私は今までの人生で、自分より魔力の低い魔法使いに11回負けたことがある。そのうち4人は魔族。」

Furīren “Soshite saino. Watashiwa imamadeno jinseide, jibun-yori maryokuno hikui mahotsukaini ju-ikkai maketa-kotoga-aru. Sonouchi yoninwa mazoku.”

Frieren “Finally, there’s talent. In my life, I’ve lost eleven times to mages who had less mana than me. Four of them were demons.”

フェルン「クヴァールもそうでしたね。」

Ferun “Kuvārumo sodeshitane.”

Fern “Qual was one of them.”

フリーレン「一人は私と同じエルフ。そして残りの6人は、人間だよ。」

Furīren “Hitoriwa watashito onaji erufu. Soshite nokorino rokuninwa, ningen dayo.”

Frieren “One was an elf like me, and the remaining six were humans.”

盗賊「嬢ちゃん、いい杖だな。」

Tozoku “Jochan, ii tsue dana.”

Bandit “That’s a nice staff you’ve got there, miss.”

Yūberu “Arē, moshika-shite mata tozoku? Sekkaku Auraga tobatsu-sarete heiwani nattatte iunoni, kondowa koiu renchuga fuerundane.”

Übel “What’s this? More bandits? We’re finally enjoying peace now that Aura has been defeated, too. But now we’re seeing more of these types.”

盗賊「誰が喋れっつった？さっさと荷物まとめて…」

Tozoku “Darega shaberettsutta? Sassato nimotsu matomete…”

Kraft “You have the eyes of a killer. I didn’t rescue you. I found the torn-up bodies of bandits in the woods nearby. They’d been killed by a mage. A tremendously skilled one, no less.”

ユーベル「あー、そう。お説教でもしに来たの？」

Yūberu “Ā, so. Osekkyo-demo shini-kitano?”

Übel “Oh, yeah? Did you come to lecture me?”

クラフト「いいや。俺も冒険者だ。自衛のための殺しにケチをつけるほ��頭は固くないさ。ただ目の前の命を拾い上げただけだ。」

Kurafuto “Iiya. Oremo bokenshada. Jieino tameno koroshini kechio tsukeru-hodo atamawa kataku-naisa. Tada menomaeno inochio hiroi-ageta-dakeda.”

Kraft “No. I’m an adventurer, too. I’m not so hard-headed as to criticize someone for killing in self-defense. I was simply saving the lives I saw in front of me.”

ユーベル「食えないおっさん。つまんない」

Yūberu “Kuenai ossan. Tsuman-nai.”

Übel “You’re a shrewd old man. You’re no fun.”

クラフト「目的地は、オイサーストか？」

Kurafuto “Mokutekichiwa Oisāsutoka?”

Frieren “Look like I get to take the exam. I’m surprised there’s anyone around who still knows what this is.”

フェルン「それ凄い物なんですか？」

Ferun “Sore sugoi mono nandesuka?”

Fern “Is that thing impressive?”

フリーレン「そのはずなんだけどね。」

Furīren “Sono hazu nandakedone.”

Frieren “It’s supposed to be.”

ーーーーー

ヒンメル「フリーレンは魔法使いギルドには入ってないんだな。」

Hinmeru “Furīrenwa mahotsukai-girudo niwa haitte-naindana.”

Himmel “Frieren, you’re not part of a magic guild, are you?”

フリーレン「魔法を管理する団体って、頻繁に変わるからね。いちいちそんなのに入ってらんないよ。」

Furīren “Maho’o kanri-suru dantaitte hinpanni kawaru-karane. Ichi-ichi sonnanoni haitte-rannaiyo.”

Frieren “The organizations that manage magic change all the time. I can’t be bothered to join every one.”

フリーレン「それに私にはこれがあるから。聖杖の証。凄いでしょ。ふふーん」

Furīren “Soreni watashi-niwa korega arukara. Seijono akashi. Sugoi-desho. Fufūn”

Frieren “Besides, I have this. A holy emblem. Pretty impressive, right?”

ヒンメル「何この錆びた首飾り？知ってる？」

Hinmeru “Nani kono sabita kubi-kazari? Shitteru?”

Himmel “What’s this rusty necklace? Any clue?”

ハイター「全然。」

Haitā “Zen-zen.”

Heiter “None at all.”

フリーレン「そう。これだけが、私が魔法使いであることの証だったんだけどな。」

Furīren “So. Kore-dakega watashiga mahotsukaide arukotono akashi dattan-dakedona.”

Frieren “I see. But this is the only thing that proves I’m a mage.”

ヒンメル「フリーレン。確かに僕たちは、その首飾りのことは知らない。でも、僕たちは君が凄い魔法使いであることを知っている。それでいいじゃないか。」

Hinmeru “Furīren. Tashikani boku-tachiwa sono kubi-kazarino kotowa shiranai. Demo, boku-tachiwa kimiga sugoi mahotsukaide arukoto’o shitteiru. Sorede iija naika.”

Frieren “Frieren, it’s true that we don’t recognize that necklace. But we know you’re an incredible mage. Isn’t that enough?”

フリーレン「でもすぐ死んじゃうじゃん。」

Furīren “Demo sugu shinjau-jan.”

Frieren ”But you’ll die so soon.”

ーーーーー

フェルン「フリーレン様。私達はフリーレン様が凄い魔法使いであることを知っていますから。」

Ferun “Furīren-sama. Watashi-tachiwa Furīren-samaga sugoi mahotsukaide arukoto’o shitte-imasukara.”  

Fern ���Ms.Frieren. We know you’re an incredible mage.”

フリーレン「そうだね。」

Furīren “Sodane.”

Frieren “You’re right.”

フリーレン「大陸魔法協会の規定だと、魔法使いは一般的に五級から一人前と呼ばれているみたいだね。フェルンはなんで三級を取ったの？」

Furīren “Tairiku Maho Kyokaino kitei-dato, mahotsukaiwa ippan-tekini go-kyu-kara ichi-nin-maeto yobarete-iru mitaidane. Ferunwa nande san-kyuo tottano?”

Frieren “According to the Continental Magic Association’s regulations, a person becomes a proper mage once they’ve achieved at least fifth class. Fern, why did you get a third-class certification?”

フェルン「一番試験の日程が近かったからです。」

Ferun “Ichiban shikenno nitteiga chikakatta-karadesu.”

Fern “Because it had the soonest available testing date.”

フリーレン「五級以上の魔法使いの総数が600人。見習いの六級から九級を含めても、全体で2000人か。その内一級は45人。一級試験は3年に一度で、オイサーストの北部支部と、聖都シュトラールの本部の二か所で開催。合格者が出ない年も多い。当たり前のように死傷者も出ている。それなりの難関だね。」

Furīren “Go-kyu-ijono mahotsukaino sosuga roppyaku-nin. Minaraino rokkyu kara kyu-kyuo fukumetemo, zentaide nisen-ninka. Sonouchi ikkyuwa yonju-go-nin. Ikkyu-shikenwa san-nenni-ichidode, Oisāsutono hokubu-shibuto, Shutorāruno honbuno ni-kasho-de kaisai. Gokakushaga denai toshimo ooi. Atarimaeno yoni shishoshamo deteiru. Sorenarino nankan dane.”  

Frieren “There are 600 mages who are at least fifth class. Even when you include apprentices from sixth to ninth class, there are 2,000 mages total. Among them, 45 are first class. The first-class exam is held once every three years at the northern branch in Äußerst and the headquarters in the holy city of Strahl. Many years, no one passes the test at all. Some test-takers are expected to be injured or die. It seems moderately challenging.”

フリーレン「それにしても魔法使いも大分数が減ったね。」

Furīren “Soreni-shitemo mahotsukaimo daibu kazuga hettane.”

Frieren “Either way, there are a lot fewer mages these days.”

フェルン「昔はもっと多かったんですか？」

Ferun “Mukashiwa motto ookattan-desuka?”

Fern “There used to be more?”

フリーレン「魔王軍の攻勢が激化した100年前だったら、町を歩けば魔法使いとすれ違うのが当たり前だったからね。今だとこういう魔法都市でもないと見かけない。」

Furīren “Mao-gunno koseiga gekika-shita hyaku-nenmae-dattara, machio arukeba mahotsukaito surechigau-noga atarimae datta-karane. Imadato koiu maho-toshidemo naito mikakenai.”

Frieren “A century ago, when the Demon King’s attacks intensified, you could expect to encounter at least one mage while walking around town. These days, you hardly see them outside magic cities.”

フリーレン「じゃあ二か月後に備えて、みっちり修行しようか。」

Furīren “Jaa ni-kagetsu-goni sonaete micchiri shugyo-shiyoka.”

Frieren “Let’s train thoroughly to prepare for the exam in two months.”

ゲナウ「これより一級魔法使い選抜試験を行う。一級魔法使いとは…並外れた才能と実力を持つ者のみに与えられる称号…」

Genau “Koreyori ikkyu-mahotsukai shenbatsu-shiken’o okonau. Ikkyu-mahotsukaitowa…nami-hazureta sainoto jitsuryokuo motsu mono-nomini ataerareru shogo…”

Genau “The first-class mage exam will now begin. The first-class mage certification is granted only to the most exceptionally talented and powerful mages.”

Falsch “This year’s test-takers seem rather exceptional. Wirbel, second-class mage and captain of the Northern Magic Corps that has fought against the remnants of the Demon King’s forces for years.”

ゲナウ「魔法使いの中でも、ほんの一握りの存在だ…当然、試験内容にも相応の危険を伴うが…君たちの身に起こるいかなることについても…大陸魔法協会は一切関与しない。」

Genau “Mahotsukaino nakademo, honno hito-nigirino sonzaida… Tozen, shaken-naiyo-nimo so’ono kiken’o tomonauga… Kimi-tachino mini okoru ikanaru kotoni tsuitemo… Tairiku Maho Kyokaiwa issai kan’yo shinai.”

Genau “Only a few mages are granted the title. Naturally, the exam is quite dangerous, but the Association will not intervene regardless of what happens to you.”

ファルシュ「血みどろの権力争いに勝ち抜き宮廷魔法使いの座に就いた海千山千の老獪さを持つ、デンケン二級魔法使い。」

Farushu “Shijo-sainenshode san-kyu-shiken’o toppuno seisekide gokaku-shita, Ferun san-kyu mahotsukai.”

Falsch “Fern, the youngest mage to ever receive a third-class certification with top marks.”

ファルシュ「まあ、問題児もいますが…　２年前の二級試験で、試験官の一級魔法使いを殺害し失格処分になった、ユーベル三級魔法使い。」

Farushu “Maa, mondaijimo imasuga… ni-nenmaeno ni-kyu-shikende, shikenkanno ikkyu-mahotsukaio satsugaishi shikkaku-shobunni natta, Yüberu sankyu-mahotsukai.”

Falsch “Of course, there are some problem children as well. Übel, the third-class mage who failed the second-class exam two years ago when she killed the first-class mage who proctored it.”

ファルシュ「後、有望そうなのは…」（…なんか熟練の老魔法使いみたいな魔力してる人いる…）

Farushu “Ato, yubo-sonanowa…” (…Nanka jukurenno romahotsukai-mitaina maryoku shiteru-hito iru…)

Falsch “Who else looks promising?” (I see someone radiating the mana of an experienced old mage.)

ファルシュ 「あれ誰？」

Farushu “Are dare?”

Falsch “Who is that?”

ゼンゼ「知らん。」

Zenze “Shiran.”

Genau “I will now announce the content of the first test in this exam. You will be tested as parties. The 57 exam-takers will split into teams of three for the first test. We will now assign parties.”

フリーレン「腕輪か。」（数字が書かれている…　第2パーティといったところか。魔力を込めることで、仲間の腕輪の位置がわかる…　これでパーティを識別するのか。）

Furīren “Udewaka.” (Sujiga kakarete-iru… Dai-ni-pātīto itta-tokoroka. Maryokuo komeru-kotode, nakamano udewano ichiga wakaru… Korede pātīo shiki-betsu surunoka.)  

Frieren “Bracelets, huh?” (They have numbers on them. I must be in the 2nd party. Imbuing it with mana allows me to locate the bracelets belonging to my party members. So this is how we identify our party members.)

フリーレン（しかし面白いことをするね。通常のパーティならともかく、曲者揃いの魔法使いを集めた即席のパーティで、まともな連携を取るのは難しい。）

Furīren (Shikashi omoshiroi koto’o surune. Tsujono pātī-nara tomokaku, kusemono-zoroino mahotsukaio atsumeta sokusekino pātīde matomona renkeio torunowa muzukashii.)  

Frieren (Either way, this is interesting. Setting aside normal party compositions, these improvised parties of magical miscreants will struggle to work together.)

フリーレン（こういうのは第一印象が大事だし、波風立てないように気を付けないと。腕輪の反応はここら辺――）

Furīren (Koiunowa daiichi-inshoga daiji-dashi, namikaze tatenai-yoni kio tsukenaito. Udewano hannowa kokorahen――)

〈北側諸国・グローブ盆地。第一次試験区域。〉

〈Kitagawa-shokoku, Gurōbu-bonchi. Dai-ichiji-shiken-kuiki.〉

〈At the site of the first test, in Grobe Basin, located in the northern lands〉

ゲナウ「第一次試験の具体的なルールを説明する。この試験区域には隕鉄鳥（シュティレ）という小鳥が生息している。各パーティにつき一つ籠を配布しておいた。」

Genau “Dai-ichiji-shikenno gutai-tekina rūruo setsumei suru. Kono shiken-kuikiniwa Shutire toiu kotoriga seisoku shiteiru. Kaku pātīni-tsuki hitotsu kago’o haifu shite-oita.”  

Genau “Allow me to explain the specific rules of the first test. Small birds known as Stille live within the testing area. Each party has been given one cage.”

ゲナウ「第一次試験の合格条件は二つ。明日の日没までにシュティレの入った籠を所持していること。その時点でパーティメンバー全員が揃っていることだ。」

Genau “Dai-ichiji-shikenno gokaku-jokenwa futatsu. Asuno nichibotsu-madeni Shutireno haitta kago’o shoji-shite-irukoto. Sono jitende pātī-menbā zen’inga sorotte-irukotoda.

Genau “There are two conditions you must fulfill to pass the first test. First, by sunset tomorrow, have a cage containing a Stille, and second, have all of your party members present at that time.”

ゲナウ「基本的に行動は自由だが、試験区域の外側に出た者がいた場合は、その所属パーティ全員をその場で失格処分とする。」

Genau “Kihon-tekini kodowa jiyudaga, shiken-kuikino sotogawani detamonoga ita baaiwa, sono shozoku pātī zen’in’o sonobade shikkaku-shobunto suru.”

Genau “You are mostly free to do as you wish, but if anyone leaves the testing area, their entire party will fail the test.”

ラヴィーネ「区域を囲むように、塵一つ通さないような強力な結界を張っておいて、よく言うぜ。」

Ravīne “Kuikio kakomu yoni chiri-hitotsu toosanai-yona kyoryokuna kekkaio hatte-oite, yoku iuze.”

Lawine “They say that like there isn’t a barrier around the testing area that won’t let so much as a speck of dust through.”

カンネ「出られるわけないのにね。」

Kanne “Derareru-wake nainonine.”

Kanne “It’s not like we can get out.”

フリーレン「説明はちゃんと聞いてるんだ…」

Furīren “Setsumeiwa chanto kiite-runda…”

Frieren “So they’re actually listening to the explanation.”

ゲナウ「それでは第一次試験を開始する」

Genau “Soredewa dai-ichiji-shiken’o kaishi suru.”

Genau “The first test begins now.”

カンネ「まずは作戦を立てるべきだって。」

Kanne “Mazuwa sakusen’o tateru-bekidatte.”

Kanne “We should start by coming up with a plan!”

ラヴィーネ「馬鹿かお前。見つけねぇことには作戦の立てようがねぇだろうが。」

Ravīne “Bakaka omae. Mitsukenee-kotoniwa sakusenno tateyoga needaroga.”

Lawine “Are you stupid? We can’t come up with a plan if we can’t even find them!”

フリーレン「まだケンカしてる…」

Furīren “Mada kenka-shiteru…”

Frieren “They’re still fighting.”

フリーレン「とりあえず歩きながら自己紹介しない？」

Furīren “Toriaezu, aruki-nagara jiko-shokai shinai？”

Frieren “Why don’t we introduce ourselves while we walk?”

フリーレン「あとカゴを持つのは、じゃんけんで決めなさい」

Furīren “Ato kago’o motsu-nowa jankende kimenasai.”

Frieren “Also, use rock-paper-scissors to decide who will carry the cage.”

フリーレン「私はフリーレン。よろしくね。」

Furīren “Watashiwa Furīren. Yoroshikune.”

Frieren “I’m Frieren. Nice to meet you.”

ラヴィーネ「ラヴィーネ。三級魔法使いだ。」

Ravīne “Ravīne. Sankyu mahotsukaida.”

Lawine “I’m Lawine, a third-class mage.”

カンネ「カンネだよ。同じく三級魔法使い。ラヴィーネとは幼馴染で、同じ魔法学校の出身だよ。」

Kanne “Kanne dayo. Onajiku sankyu-mahotsukai. Ravīne-towa osana-najimide, onaji maho-gakkono shusshin dayo.”

Kanne “I’m Kanne, also a third-class mage. Lawine and I go way back. We graduated from the same magic school.”

フリーレン「二人はシュティレに関する知識はあるの？」

Furīren “Futariwa Shutireni kansuru chishikiwa aruno?”

Frieren “Do you two know anything about the Stille?”

ラヴィーネ「いいや。」

Ravīne “Iiya.”

Lawine “No.”

カンネ「ないよ。」

Kanne “Naiyo.”

Kanne “Nope.”

フリーレン「私は知識はあるけど、実物は見たことがないから、まずはシュティレを見つけて観察してみようか。」

Furīren “Watashiwa chishikiwa arukedo, jitsubutsuwa mitakotoga naikara, mazuwa Shutireo mitsukete kansatsu shite-miyoka.”

Frieren “I do, but I’ve never seen one in person before. Let’s start by finding a Stille and observing it.”

ーーーーー

カンネ「疲れた…」

Kanne “Tsukareta…”

Kanne “I’m tired.”

ラヴィーネ「だらしがねぇな。」

Ravīne “Darashiga-neena.”

Lawine “You’re so undisciplined.”

フリーレン「少し休憩しようか。」

Furīren “Sukoshi kyukei shiyoka.”

Frieren “Shall we take a break?”

ラヴィーネ「私はまだ動けるから、先見てくるよ。」

Ravīne “Watashiwa mada ugokerukara, saki mite-kuruyo.”

Lawine “I can keep moving. I’ll go ahead and check things out.”

カンネ「まとまって動いた方が安全だって。」

Kanne “Matomatte ugoita-hoga anzen datte.”

Kanne “It’s safer to stay together.”

ラヴィーネ「うっせぇな。それだと効率悪いだろうが。」

Ravīne “Usseena. Soredato koritsu warui daroga.”

Lawine “Oh, shut up. That’s so inefficient.”

フリーレン「ラヴィーネは強いの？」

Furīren “Ravīnewa tsuyoino?”

Frieren “Lawine, are you strong?”

ラヴィーネ「コイツよりはな。」

Ravīne “Koitsu yoriwana.”

Lawine “Stronger than her.”

カンネ「やんのかコラ？」

Kanne “Yannoka kora?”

Kanne “You wanna fight, huh?”

フリーレン「私と比べたら？」

Furīren “Watashito kurabetara?”

Frieren “And compared to me?”

ラヴィーネ「アンタとは戦いたくねぇ。」

Ravīne “Anta-towa tatakai-takunee.”

Lawine “I wouldn’t want to fight you.”

フリーレン「なるほど。いいよ。見てきな。危なくなったら戻ってくること。」

Furīren “Naruhodo. Iiyo. Mite-kina. Abunaku-nattara modotte-kurukoto.”

Frieren “I see. Fine. Go check things out. Come back if it gets too dangerous.”

ラヴィーネ「ああ。」

Ravīne “Aa.”

Lawine “Okay.”

フリーレン「それと空には気を付けてね。」

Furīren “Soreto sora-niwa kio tsuketene.”

Frieren “And watch the skies.”

ラヴィーネ「わかってるよ。」

Ravīne “Wakatteruyo.”

Lawine “I know.”

フリーレン（このパーティー大丈夫かな…）

Furīren (Kono pātī daijobu kana…)

Frieren (I wonder if our party will be okay.)

カンネ「フリーレン。何だか先生みたい。リーダーに向いているんじゃない？」

Kanne “Furīren. Nandaka sensei mitai. Rīdāni muiterunja nai?”

Kanne “Frieren, you’re like a teacher. You’d make a good leader.”

フリーレン「カンネ達が喧嘩しているせいだよ。仕切りたいわけじゃない。」

Furīren “Kanne-tachiga kenka shiteiru-seidayo. Shikiritai-wakeja nai.”

Frieren “It’s because you two keep fighting. I don’t want to lead.”

カンネ「ごめんね。私達、昔からこんな感じなんだ。ところで空に気を付けろって、どういうこと。」

Kanne “Gomenne. Watashi-tachi, mukashi-kara konna kanji nanda. Tokorode sorani kio tsukerotte doiu koto.”

Kanne “Sorry. We’ve always been like this. By the way, what did you mean when you said to watch the skies?”

フリーレン「そのままの意味だよ。」

Furīren “Sono-mamano imi dayo.”

Frieren “I meant exactly what I said.”

フリーレン「魔力探知、苦手？」

Furīren “Maryoku-tanchi nigate?”

Frieren “Do you struggle to detect mana?”

カンネ「なんで？」

Kanne “Nande?”

Kanne “Why?”

ラヴィーネ「おい。」

Ravīne “Oi.”

Lawine “Hey.”

フリーレン「早いね。」

Furīren “Hayaine.”

Frieren “That was quick.”

ラヴィーネ「シュティレ見つけたぜ。」

Ravīne “Shutire mitsuketaze.”

Lawine “I found a Stille.”

フリーレン「よくやった、ラヴィーネ。じゃあよく観察して…」

Furīren “Yoku yatta, Ravīne. Jaa yoku kansatsu-shite…”

Frieren “Nicely done, Lawine. Now watch it closely.”

フリーレン「観察しろって言ったのに…逃げられるね。」

Furīren “Kansatsu-shirotte ittanoni… Nige-rarerune.”

Frieren “I told you to observe. It’s going to run away.”

ラヴィーネ「いいや。上出来だぜカンネ。」

Ravīne “Iiya. Jodeki daze Kanne.”

Lawine “I don’t think so. Nice work, Kanne.”

フリーレン「へえ…　やるじゃん。」

Furīren “Hee… Yarujan.”

Frieren “Huh. Not bad.”

フリーレン「でも、そろそろ伏せたほうがいいかも。」

Furīren “Demo, soro-soro fuseta hoga iikamo.”

Frieren “But you should probably get down.”

ラヴィーネ「は？なんで…」

Ravīne “Ha? Nande…”

Lawine “What? Why?”

フリーレン「シュティレは極めて頑丈で最大飛行速度は音速を超える。あの程度の拘束じゃ無意味だよ。」

Furīren “Shutirewa kiwamete ganjode saidai-hiko-sokudowa onsokuo koeru. Ano teidono kosokuja muimi dayo.”

Frieren “Stille are incredibly tough. Their top speed is faster than the speed of sound. Trying to restrain one like that is pointless.”

ラヴィーネ「マジかよ。もう見えねえぞ。」

Ravīne “Majikayo. Mo mieneezo.”

Lawine “Seriously? It’s already gone.”

カンネ「惜しかったね。」

Kanne “Oshikattane.”

Kanne “That was close.”

フリーレン「捕らえるには、よく観察する必要がある。今日一日はシュティレの観察に使うよ。」

Furīren “Toraeru-niwa yoku kansatsu-suru hitsuyoga aru. Kyo ichi-nichiwa Shutireno kansatsuni tsukauyo.” Frieren “Capturing one will require careful observation. We’ll use this entire day for Stille observation.”

フリーレン（カンネが水を操り、ラヴィーネがそれを凍らせた。息を合わせたような的確なタイミング。高度な連携だ。一朝一夕でできるようなもんじゃない。どうなることかと思っていたけれども、これならなんとか…）

Furīren (Kannega mizuo ayatsuri, Ravīnega soreo kooraseta. Ikio awaseta-yona tekikakuna taimingu. Kodona renkeida. Iccho-issekide dekiruyona monja nai. Donaru kotokato omotte-itakeredomo, korenara nantoka…)

Frieren (Kanne controlled the water, and Lawine froze it. Their timing was perfectly coordinated. Their teamwork is superb. It’s not something you could achieve overnight. I was worried for a while there, but this might actually work.)

ラヴィーネ「すぐに追うぞ。」

Ravīne “Suguni ouzo.”

Lawine “Let’s go after it.”

カンネ「それより湖の周りを――」

Kanne “Soreyori mizumino mawario――”

Kanne “We should search around the lake instead.”

ラヴィーネ「なんでだよ、早く行った方がいいだろ！」

Ravīne “Nande-dayo, hayaku itta hoga iidaro!”

Lawine “Why? We should go sooner rather than later.”

フリーレン（駄目だ…　また喧嘩してる…）

Furīren (Dameda… Mata kenka shiteru…)

Frieren (Nope. They’re fighting again.)

ーーーーー

カンネ「あ…何か音が…あれ、フリーレンがいない。」

Kanne “A… Nanika otoga… Are, Furīrenga inai.”

Kanne “I hear something. Huh? Frieren’s missing.”

カンネ「やっぱりこれって小さいけど雨音だ…　降っていないのに、なんで…　…あ。そういうことか。ってことは、もしかして――　魔物！！」

Kanne “Yappari korette chiisai-kedo amaotoda… Futteinai-noni, nande… …A. Soiu-kotoka. Tte kotowa mochikashite――　Mamono!!”

Kanne “It’s faint, but that’s the sound of rain. But it’s not raining, so why…? Oh, I see. Does that mean…? A monster!”

カンネ「…あ…杖… …ラ、ラヴィーネ。」

Kanne “…A…Tsue… …Ra, Ravīne.”

Kanne “My staff… Lawine!”

フリーレン「空には気を付けろって言ったでしょ。」

Furīren “Soraniwa kio tsukerotte itta-desho.”

Frieren “I told you to watch the skies.”

ーーーーー

フリーレン「落ち着いた？」

Furīren “Ochitsuita?”

Frieren “Have you calmed down?”

カンネ「うん。」

Kanne “Un.”

Kanne “Yeah.”

フリーレン「ラヴィーネの名前を呼んでいた。ラヴィーネのこと、嫌いでしょ。」

Furīren “Ravīneno namaeo yondeita. Ravīneno koto, kirai desho.”

Frieren “You called Lawine’s name. But you don’t like Lawine, do you?”

カンネ「そうだね。」

Kanne “Sodane.”

Kanne “No, I don’t.”

フリーレン「だよね。なのにどうして2人は連携が取れているんだろう？不思議だ。」

Furīren “Dayone. Nanoni doshite futariwa renkeiga torete-irundaro? Fushigida.”

Frieren “Right? So how do you two work together so well? It’s strange.”

カンネ「…私ってさ、意外と臆病で、いざって時に何もできなかったりすることが、よくあるんだ。」

Kanne “…Watashittesa, igaito okubyode, izatte tokini nanimo dekina-kattari surukotoga yoku arunda.”

Kanne “I’m surprisingly craven. I often fail to act during critical moments.”

カンネ「初めての飛行魔法の実習の時もそうだった。」

Kanne “Hajimeteno hiko-mahono jisshuno tokimo sodatta.”

Kanne “It happened when I cast my first flying spell, too.”

ーーーーー

ラヴィーネ「先行った連中、あんな遠くに行っちまったぞ。下は水なんだから、死にはしねぇよ。勇気が無いってんなら、蹴り飛ばしてやろうか。」

Ravīne “Saki itta renchu, anna tookuni icchimattazo. Shitawa mizu-nandakara, shiniwa shineeyo. Yukiga naitten-nara, keritobashite yaroka.”

Lawine “The ones who already left are already so far away. You’ll have water beneath you, so it’s not like you’ll die. If you don’t have the courage to do it, want me to kick you?”

カンネ「ラヴィーネなんか嫌い。」

Kanne “Ravīne-nanka kirai.”

Kanne “I hate you, Lawine.”

ラヴィーネ「知ってるよ。」

Ravīne “Shitteruyo.”

Lawine “I know.”

カンネ「いつも私にひどいこと言ってさ。私はね、褒められて伸びるタイプなんだよ。」

Kanne “Itsumo watashini hidoi-koto ittesa. Watashiwane, homerarete nobiru taipu nandayo.”

Kanne “You’re always so mean to me. I’m the kind of person who grows with praise, you know.”

ラヴィーネ「冗談だろ。優しいパパとママに甘やかされて育った結果が、これだろうがよ。そんなんで飛べるってんなら、いくらでも優しくしてやるよ。」

Ravīne “Jodan daro. Yasashii papato mamani amayaka-sarete sodatta kekkaga kore darogayo. Sonnande toberutten-nara ikurademo yasashiku shiteyaruyo.”

Lawine “You’re joking, right? This is what happens when you grow up babied by a kind mommy and daddy. If it’ll help you fly, I’ll be as nice as you want.”

カンネ「じゃあ、私のいいところ言って。」

Kanne “Jaa, watashino iitokoro itte.”

Kanne “Then name my strengths.”

ラヴィーネ「おいおい、マジで言ってんのかよ。」

Ravīne “Oi-oi, majide ittenno-kayo.”

Lawine “Are you for real?”

ラヴィーネ「本当は臆病な癖に頑張っているところ。」

39 and 67 for the writers ask!

thank you, nonie! 🥺🥺 you made my day!! <3

39. Share a snippet from a WIP.

This is from Close Behind, which is a ShiftyTab fic set during boot at Camp Toccoa! I've been sitting on this since September, but I hope to finish it soon.

“C’mon, then. Out with it. What’s a Wend-ee-go?” Shifty’s uneasy gaze shifted from McClung to Luz, who quite clearly would refuse to give quarter on the subject matter. “Ain’t supposed to say the name, first of all. It’s believed that speaking it out loud can summon it of sorts.” Shifty cleared his throat, glaring at Nixon’s profile from across the hall, not that Nixon seemed to feel the intensity and heat of it. “Multiple Indigenous cultures believe that the creature is born from greed, that the spirit of greed drives a person mad enough in a desperate situation that they feast on the flesh of others after possessin’ them. They are said to look like skeletons freshly risen from a grave: starved, gaunt, emaciated. No matter how much they eat, they are still starving, an endless hunger, like greed. They smell of rottin’ flesh, ‘nd can imitate human voices to lure victims. If those hunters knew what they were talkin’ ‘bout, I fear for us.” Of course, the potential for what Nixon said to be entirely made up was incredibly likely, since Nixon often found it amusing to pull pranks on enlisted men. It was similar to what an older sibling might do to their younger siblings, but in this instance, it could be dangerous. Not that Nixon would know. Luz stared at Shifty with furrowed brows, perhaps shocked as that was the most that any of them ever heard Shifty talk, before breaking out into a grin. “Real interesting, Shift. Y’should share more of your folktales with the group. It’s more entertaining than listening to Sobel talk about anything.”

67. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?

I think almost 90% of everything I write is based off of something, even if it's not a prompt specifically. Like, a song, or an au, or a gifset. Most of the time, though, I go completely off from the prompt and come up with something that is unexpected because my brain is more creative than I'd like it to be sometimes. For example, I was working with a prompt about Eddie taking control of King co. which was perfectly innocuous and would potentially have a very happy ending and instead me and my friend, Sam, who is always nice enough to be the sounding board for my batshit ideas, came up with a plot so tragic it's painful. So, I'd say prompts, but ultimately it doesn't matter because I would go off prompt like a doof anyway. 😂😂
