Basicaly a short story that reveals my understanding of AHam.

I am so in love with his high sensitivity and low empathy. This whole deal of not trusting crowds makes him partially out from the human society. I love the feeling SOOOO MUUUUUUUCH

And maybe because I was putting in so much genuine emotion, creating this artwork was a blast! I hope this little story manages to pass on some of my feelings to anyone how read!

Here is the full poem I wrote in chinese:

《一只掠食者如何死去》

啃食母亲血肉的幼犬。

用尾巴拖出一条褐色的脐带，

那凹陷的肋骨

和他身下的白骨

如此相称！

咬下最后一口肉块，

它迈步狂奔。

凄厉的狂吠是亲人的丧钟，

脆弱的脚带它走向新的路。

可怜可悲的怪诞生物，

妄图扭成人形？

可他余下罪孽更加可怖！

贪婪的嘴巴吞下每个机会，

急躁的手掌抢夺每份荣耀。

幼犬长成冷血的狼，

却仍然学不会

从奔跑中停歇。

在这时竟吐出人言：

——神圣的天使！

你傲慢的耳

或许听说过

沉默的绵羊

如何任人践踏。

你高贵的眼

或许阅读过

狡猾的老鼠

如何自甘堕落。

你广阔的学识

或许见证过

懦弱的兔子

如何困死病榻。

你苍白的脸上可曾溅上鲜红的血？

从缪斯停留的古典画框里，

自潘神藏身的大理石像中，

我们尊贵的诗人显出真身，

隔着玻璃怜悯无声病逝的宠物，

却厌恶再去多看出逃的猛兽一眼。

虚假的伪君子，冠冕堂皇的大人。

你何必再为注定被遗忘的人铺床？

死亡本是

我们每晚的归宿，

在漫长的奔波中

让不体面的争抢和讥讽

充满天堂。

我们��为以下是真理不言自明

人人生而贪婪，

造物者赋予他们若干不可逃避的欲求，

其中包括：

支配欲

报复欲

永不餍足的野心

怯懦的人跌倒死去，

愚蠢的人骨断筋折。

固执又狡猾的野狗手脚并用着往前爬行，

逐渐被记忆撕碎成载着刻薄和焦躁的幽灵。

只等待

最后一声枪响点燃灵魂上的火药，

烧出人皮下扭曲的苍白骨架，

令围观者欢呼

肮脏的掠食者注定死于非命！

Paleolithic Media Catalogue

Hello everyone :) Short story first: When I began brainstorming for my prehistoric story, I started wondering what other prehistoric fiction there is out there. I was not familiar with it and have not seen much. That's when I started my grand literature review and began a search for what fiction exist out there. I wanted to know what kinds of stories are being made with this time period. What are the common themes or recurring ideas (I found lots of humans and dinosaurs works. And time travel). Since I've had a growing collection on my computer, I decided I should keep on enlarging it and put it online. It's nowhere near complete. I'll slowly keep accumulating the collection as I find more. I only have fiction books and comics right now. I still need to work on the film section.

You can access the blog here!

As for where I am in my reading, the one's I've finished reading are Earth's Children series (book 1-4. Dropped it afterwards lol. I made a post on with fanart) Dance of the Tiger and it's sequel Singletusk (They were good! I'll upload my review on the blog), and Sisters of the Wolf (It was ok!). I got my hands on The Inheritors and excited to start reading it. I REALLY want to read the Shiva trilogy, but I found no PDF online... and it's out of print :( There is certainly old copies on ebay. And I want to read Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. There seem to be lots of good books out there.

Kovis ('tough guy') by Käärijä | fin -> eng trans.

Kovis is a word with a mocking undertone, Finns usually use this word while talking about people like immature teenage boys who act tougher than they actually are. The whole song is about dealing with someone who's a difficult and immature person to be around. I decided to translate some bits very literally and add context to some of the words and expressions he uses, mostly because a more liberal english translation alone probably wouldn't fully convey how much he's mocking the person and their juvenile behavior.

[VERSE]

Voi hyvä tavaton mietin missä sun käytöstavat on hä -> My goodness, I’m wondering where your manners are, huh

Sä kohtelet muita ku *avanto* niin kylmästi et oon sanaton -> You treat others so coldly it’s like *ice swimming*, it leaves me speechless *(avanto = the actual hole in the ice, but English doesn’t have a word for something that specific. He's basically saying the person is about as pleasant as a swim in ice cold water – when you swim in an avanto the coldness usually shocks your body and it's difficult to talk because of it)

Tekis mieli vetää sua lettii mut en oo sellane -> I feel like smacking you but I’m not like that

Oot olevinas mikä lie bossman tääl, mut *sun nokka on keltane* -> You act like you’re some kind of a bossman here, but *your beak is yellow* *(he’s saying the person is a 'keltanokka' = a beginner/‘junior', someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing)

Se on pelkkää puppuu ja legendaa ku sulla aukee suu -> When you open your mouth, it's all nonsense and lies

Sun kylien kovan jätkän maine on valheilla maustettuu -> Your tough guy reputation has been seasoned with lies

Teet niin hiton tyhmii juttui että mietin onks sun *pää puut* -> You do things so damn stupid that it makes me wonder if your *head is made of wood* *(puupää = someone who’s dumb, the word's more humorous than offensive despite the meaning)

Ja muut miettii hätäpoistumisteitä kun sä tuut -> And when you come around, the others think about emergency exits

[BRIDGE]

Ei näin, ei missään nimes näin -> Not like this, absolutely not like this *(a better, less literal translation would be something like "don't act like this, absolutely do not act like this")

Sul on *finkut pystys* heti kun sä tuut -> *Your fingers are up* as soon as you arrive *(I think he means they've got a bad attitude, like they've got their middle fingers up all the time)

Ei näin, ei missään nimes näin -> Not like this, absolutely not like this

Polemiikkii syntyy heti kun sä tuut -> A controversy/quarrel occurs as soon as you arrive

[CHORUS]

Jäbä hei ei tollasel asenteella tääl päin tehdä kavereita -> Dude, you don't make friends 'round here with an attitude like that

Ei olla enää *yläasteella* senkin kovis -> We're not in *junior high* anymore, you tough guy *(the Finnish school system is a bit complex, but 'yläaste' is for people between the ages of 13 and 15 before they start high school at 16. It's hell, it's horror, teens that age are terrible so absolutely no one enjoys yläaste. TL;DR he's saying the person still acts like a childish teenager)

Ei tollasel asenteella tääl päin saa ku avareita -> Here an attitude like that will only get you bitch slapped

Ei olla enää *yläasteella* senkin kovis -> We're not in *junior high* anymore, you tough guy

[VERSE]

Oot niinku ne nettipalstojen *sankarit* jotka postaa -> You're like *those heroes* who post online *(sarcasm, guess he's talking about people who are shitty, rude, and annoying online)

(Vittu mitä pask–) Miks sun pitää olla tollanen kovis -> (Fuck this sh–) Why do you have to be a tough guy like that

Jonka puheenvuoro on ku *battle freestyle, ota rewind* -> It's like *a freestyle battle when it's your turn to speak, hit rewind* *(I think he means that the person thinks they're free to say anything they want without caring about how offensive they're being, and that they think every conversation is like a battle they have to somehow 'win'. He's telling the person to hit rewind to rethink their words)

Sillä nää bileet ei oo mitkää mihi tullaan käyttäytyy noin -> Because this party isn't a place where you can act like that

Sä hiffaat sen ennen pitkää jos tuut näyttäytyy noin -> You'll eventually get it/notice it if you continue to be like that

Sä et lähde pois vaa *intät* vastaa ja se suututtaa muut -> You don't leave, you just continue to *bicker/insist* and it makes everyone mad *(inttää = (to) insist, but the tone of that word is belittling/ridiculing/dismissive. If a kid at a grocery store is being whiny, annoying, and continues to insist that they want a lollipop even after their parent has told them 'no', that's the vibe of 'inttää'. If you call someone's arguments or behavior 'inttäminen' you're basically dismissing their words/behavior while calling them a bit childish)

Voit tehä u-käännöksen ens kerral kun sä tuut -> The next time you come, you can/should do a U-turn

[BRIDGE]

Ei näin, ei missään nimes näin -> Not like this, absolutely not like this

Sul on *finkut pystys* heti kun sä tuut -> *Your fingers are up* as soon as you arrive

Ei näin, ei missään nimes näin -> Not like this, absolutely not like this

Polemiikkii syntyy heti kun sä tuut -> A controversy/quarrel occurs as soon as you arrive

[CHORUS]

Jäbä hei ei tollasel asenteella tääl päin tehdä kavereita -> Dude, you don't make friends 'round here with an attitude like that

Ei olla enää *yläasteella* senkin kovis -> We're not in *junior high* anymore, you tough guy

Ei tollasel asenteella tääl päin saa ku avareita -> Here an attitude like that will only get you bitch slapped

Ei olla enää yläasteella senkin kovis -> We're not in junior high anymore, you tough guy

[And then he continues to repeat parts of the chorus before the song ends]

Coming at you with another sneak peek of one of the fics I've been working on with my TWST OC Azura! Once I've finished polishing them to oblivion, I'll be posting them as a series on AO3 since they pretty much go in chronological order. Anyway, here's a snippet from "Only Once"! (Please note that this'll likely be different from the final version.)

~ ~ ~

Something dark blue from somewhere behind the fairies kept him from continuing, the faintest recognition surfacing within his mind. But it disappeared before he could identify it.

What was that. . . ? It almost seemed familiar somehow. . . .

“And now the crown with the magic stone has been placed upon her head,” Azul pointed out, pulling Malleus out of his thoughts.

“Interesting,” Vil said. “They made that haute couture crown for the larger fairy. The gemstone color does match her dress nicely.”

“Is this really the time to do a fashion check?!” Crowley hissed.

Another figure approached the fairies, politely announcing her presence and prompting the golden fairy to turn around.

“Woah. . . .” Kalim breathed. “Look at that fairy’s wings! They’re huge!”

The group’s attention shifted to the very human-sized newcomer, and a small noise of surprise escaped Malleus.

It’s you. . . . He found his attention fixed onto her. She carried herself with grace as she spoke with the golden fairy. What more, her wings harbored that flicker of blue he had seen just moments ago. Even her hair was the same hue.

His eyes drifted from her wings to her serious expression. Why would she be here? Has she been invited to this assemblage? Or is there another reason?

do i really want to translate étoiles yelling “pète-moi le cul!” at antoine for my next comp

[neolxzr]

actually based on my tags on the other post im going to talk about shu stepping down as leader maybe not in the DIRECTLY next event because it might even make sense for this story development to be another mika center?? but who knows im not the writers. but this almost feels like an important development to shu specifically at least to me

like valkyrie is obviously very important to shu, it is his creation and in the beginning it was entirely based on his aesthetics, his choreography, his designs, his lyrics, his everything, and it's still obviously his driving force but after meikyuu denshi kairou which SO heavily incorporates mika's aesthetics and his ideas its clear that the direction valkyrie is moving in is a valkyrie that they both contribute to equally

i think shu has been striving for this ever since he called mika his partner in art and told him he's not his doll anymore and he's been pushing mika to create on his own for the past like idk million valkyrie stories but this is such a new look and feel for them and it's clear that shu is embracing the idea that valkyrie is a partnership and it belongs to the both of them.

mika's ideal has always been shu and even as an artist he reveres the things he creates but he very clearly has his own ideas of what to create and where to take valkyrie and i think shu no longer being the leader will emphasize the fact that they are equals, and mika's ideal should always be to create things that he likes and his proud of and not just things that shu will be proud of him for

because shu will be proud of him regardless of whether or not he is trying to please him with his art!!! shu wants to see mika grow and become a confident and independent artist to stand alongside him, and with their individual independence i think it will strengthen them as a unit and as partners

and i think it's important for shu to almost give valkyrie to mika. not in the sense that he becomes the leader but in the sense that it now belongs to the both of them and they can both lead it in whatever direction they want to and they are there for each other and to nurture each other's creative endeavors

did i even make a point here?? i dont know. anyways valkyrie is a pair and they are equals do not separate them

HEADCANONS - BLADE: WHAT'S IN A NAME?

this is just a quick thing i wanted to throw together because it's definitely something of importance for him, and will influence his responses to certain names in the context of interactions.

quite simply, blade is his name. this is the name he gave to himself, the name he answers to, the name he lives under. it is his identity. initially, this was a name chosen to represent the lack of humanity he regards himself with - he was a living weapon, and nothing more. however, over time (and with the insistence of those who seek to humanise him again) the name 'blade' has become more than just a label: it is who he is.

and names and titles are very important to him as a person. there is power in a name. as such, the topic of nicknames is a tricky one. to put it simply: blade refuses nicknames as a rule. there is only one exception to this, and only one person who can get away with it completely: kafka. the first to bestow upon him the incredibly humanising nickname of 'bladie'. (as a note: silver wolf sometimes gets away with it due to the bond between them, but not always).

should anyone else try to call him bladie, it will not be tolerated. ("call me that again and i'll be answering you with my sword" <- canon dialogue if TB calls him bladie).

and regarding his former name of y.ingxing: he no longers accepts this as his name because he is no longer that man. to him, they are separate people. he ceased to be y.ingxing when he became an abomination. only amongst the other members of the high cloud quintet will he answer to that name if it is spoken, but there is still a certain detachment to it.

additional note: i am undecided on whether or not i will ever use the name 'ren' (rèn) in regards to blade, but on one thing i am certain: if any character refers to him as ren without prior discussion, i am shutting that down immediately. whilst i understand that it is the chinese name and therefore "canon", i feel like there was a deliberate intention behind translating the name into english (as opposed to other x.ianzhou names) - calling him blade, giving him the name of an object, a tool, dehumanises him, which reflects his perception of himself. as such, i will stick only to blade for the foreseeable, and i ask that you respect that.

[refridgerators]

HAAAAATE WITH MY ENTIRE LIVING FUCKING BEING when people call dr. ratio self centered… his whole arc in every fucking thing he’s ever been in is about how he views other people and his role as a doctor, like…

i get it if u don’t care about lore, cus i can understand that sometimes. but how geniuenly ignorant can you be when you think someone who works as both a DOCTOR and PROFESSOR hates humanity. like????? his work revolves around other people entirely he would not be able to do the shit he does if he was as arrogant and mean as yall called him out to be.

i get it, he can be snarky. but like… have you tried living in the same universe, no, working MULTIPLE TIMES with someone who goes entirely against your philosophy of logicism and intelligence for prolonged periods of time???? no, i don’t fucking think so. i would, too, get slightly irritated at that person because they’re so stupidly foolish, and yet they survive each time they make a bad decision so they never learn their fuckinh lesson. fuck you.

”oh, but he literally sculpts statues of himself doing cringe poses!!! why would he do that if he didn’t have the biggest ego ever!!!?” ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID??? sorry. whew. his voiceline when he erects the statues is ”for the theatere of the mediocre”, which implies that the only reason he makes the statues public is to entertain his ’mediocre’ audience. he doesn’t do it for himself, he does it for OTHER PEOPLE. BECAUSE HIS CHARACTER FOCUSES ON HIS LOVE FOR HUMANITY AND THE WAY HE CARES IS QUITE WEIRD I KNOW BUT HE CARES IN HIS OWN VERITAS WAY. sorry.

ratio follows the path of the hunt, which means that he has a set goal that he works very hard to achieve, or at least wants to strive for. ratios goal is to eradicate ignorance from the universe. this can be gathered from not only his character stories, but also from his title. in the cn version of the game the doctor part of his title is the same term as that of a medical doctor, not someone who owns a/multiple doctorate(s). this means that he sees himself as a healer more than anything, and what he wants to heal humanity from primarily is ignorance.

he does this in multiple ways. firstly, in his ”acceptance test speech” (idfk what to call it, it’s in his character story 4) he expresses ”if ignorance is an ailment, it is the duty of scholars to weed it out and heal the universe.” this informs the other people in the intelligensia guild that they, too, should treat ignorance like a sickness that plauges humanity, thus taking the problem more seriously. secondly, (i don’t remember where i read this but i SWEAR on my life that it’s canon) he has mentioned before that the reason he is so ’mean’ is because he wants people to realize how stupid they are. it sounds awful, but he’s smarter than all of us so stay with me now. the reason he says that is because he knows the first step in learning something is accepting that you don’t know it, so he wants people to realize their foolishness in order for them to want to become smarter, thus making them forgo their ignorant tendencies. isn’t that amazing? look, i know if he was my teacher i’d be crying the first fucking lesson, but it’s still a good strategy imo. make people realize how dumb they are, making them want to not be dumb, making them solve the problem you hate so much.

he’s very dear to me if you can’t tell. i’ll stfu now i promise

i'm considering making cliji/warfield (or even ffxvi overall) gifs but with the actual translation of the japanese text (since japanese and english versions are VERY different in terms of meaning) but i'm afraid that would be a bit weird??
