10 E for Wasei, 8 G for Hope 😈

And if you feel spicy, 2 I for Lawrence

OK firstly, if I'm ever not feeling spicy I think you know better than anyone that something is probably wrong, and I'm definitely feeling pretty spicy towards Lawrence right now for some reason-

However, I'm going to do that a bit later because I'm really happy with these two and itching to post whereas I basically need to start that one all over again 😅

So here's Wasei and Hope! Little bit of explanation and close-ups under the cut!

I took a little liberty with the "wink" of Wasei's bc it was just fitting. Idk who he pissed off this time 😆 and I thought this might be Hope in a certain RP 😅

These are perfect expressions for each character but I'm not at all surprised ����

I also put close-ups bc I know tumblr will probably fuck them up a bit.

The bestiesssssss love them both 😊

Uh oh

They made the mistake of translating ジュース as "juice" when that is clearly melon soda

[mlembug]

I'm doing translation check for the newest chapter of I Am Worried That My Childhood Friend Is Too Cute! and got reminded of a hilarious translation mistake I saw a few years ago.

While this mistake is incredibly vexing as this is something you can spot by reading the text and checking whether it makes sense, I don't want to make fun of the translators themselves, as a.) this translation was done several years ago and whoever did it likely got way better since, and b.) I have my own share of translation mistakes. The purpose of this is to instead to talk about the likely circumstances that led to it happening.

(full page with context)

The specific phrase used here is "コンシューマー版" which can be broken down into (what follows is the romaji-fied word and the dictionary definition)

コンシューマー ("konshuumaa") consumer

版 ("ban"): edition/version/printing/impression/implementation (of software)

which seems fairly reasonable, except for the fact that コンシューマー is coming from the phrase コンシューマーゲーム ("konshuumaa geemu"), which seems to have no dictionary definition in any of the dictionaries I have, but it has a wikipedia entry where clicking on English version directs to "console game".

So why is "consumer game" meaning "console game"? It's because you can go to a store and buy it (as in, as a consumer/customer), as opposed to arcade games where you essentially rent the arcade machine for a small time.

...And if I said I finally drew Wasei? What then?

Most annoying man in the universe, everyone. Top 5% of masochists worldwide. Don't try to rip his heart out.

I've been divinely inspired to send asks to others, so here I am. You've sent me some asks about my thoughts on Invincible, so it's about high time I send you some myself. I want to hear all of it; your favorite characters, least favorite characters, thoughts, predictions, the works. Feel free to rant, as I am actively encouraging it. :))))

I FOUND IT, HUZZAH!!

So! I'll do my best to write my rant as best as I can. Disclaimer for spoilers of the fourth episode of S2 if you haven't watched it, just in case, heh.

First of all, I learned about the series' existence by that meme at the top of this post a friend sent on a chat group we had; he drew fanart as well! After that, some users of another server wanted me to draw a character on that meme pose Omni-man was doing that showed his ass while kneeling —I believe it's still on my art sideblog—.

I wanted to watch it on my own, yet upon realizing I needed a Prime account, I decided to watch it with my parents. The first time I tried, it was night time, and they fell asleep before finishing episode one, which, in the context of the series, it was the best possible outcome for them. In my case, I watched all of it; it was just nice to have a more realistic approach of a young superhero and a family!

And that change of tone? Delightful! I gasped and enjoyed all the graphic details, as well as how much the GotG were hurt upon realizing Nolan was killing their colleagues, their friends.

Time passed, and I forgot about the series until I made my parents watch the Meet the Team videos, to then take advantage of their willingness so we could finish the series.

And oh boy, they did enhance the experience.

I still remember when Debbie said that Nolan was going to come home later for lunch, to then hear a small chuckle from my mother. A little bit of context should be provided, so I'll do that. My father works for the Navy here, and as consequence, he tends to go to other cities or board ships for days, weeks, even months, as well as working late; it has been normalized.

Watching a 17 year old guy wanting to be more than he was able to ever think possible as a 17 year old kid at the time was fascinating, if not sometimes painful. And now Mark is in college, heh. Yeap, the show hit home a few times, more than necessary.

What can I say about S1 overall? It was amazing! The sort of murder mystery tone it got was great to follow since we knew the who, not the why; and watching how Debbie was more and more sure about her theory was entertaining yet heart-stopping, as she was the only person capable of confronting Nolan and getting away with it. She worries me still, I want her to get her catharsis so she feels better; please writers, Debby deserves to be happy. She reminds me of my mother from time to time.

It's interesting how in the comics she is a housewife, yet in the series they decided to give her some agency and make her have a stable job, which may be the reason why they live in that house on the first place! She said “Get out of my house!” for a reason.

Mark, oh Mark. Watching him get physical and mentally damaged was such a journey that I enjoyed until I began caring for him just as with Debbie. He reminded me of another character that I deeply love, Kiana Kaslana, based on the fact that both characters were compared to someone related to them, as well as kept fighting for humanity although there were many reasons to stop doing so; also they are deeply traumatized.

And if the series' writers decide to follow the arc that Mark had in the comics, I may not survive. I'd implode from all the implications of it. TL;DR, let my guy be happy!

Nolan, ah Nolan. My partner thought he was going to be my favorite character, but Mark's existence takes the first place for sure. This man is so fascinating, being one of the strongest beings yet a complete insensitive dum dum goofball at the moment he has to express his honest feelings and thoughts thanks to all those years of Viltrumite indoctrination.

I hope he stops using Mark as a punching bag for his internal struggles. Looking at S1 episode 8 and S2 episode 4, he grabs his son as a ragdoll and yells at him as if that would convince Mark to be by his side? And the way he's feeling empathy now, hahah you fucker, have deep emotions now! It would have been preferable back on Earth, though. I wonder if the other Viltrumites will commit the execution or not.

I like most of the secondary characters, William is on thin ice, though, since he's uncaring of remembering Mark hurtful mistakes he's done, it doesn't seem William is joking sometimes, which confuses me since both characters are good friends and should know what may be a negative memory to the other.

My girl Amber is doing well! Good thing the writers realized that making her get mad at Mark based on his superhero life was not the best idea, resulting in Amber being more understanding on S2.

Eve is isolating herself, and her father kind of pisses me off because the story is quite vague in trying to prove if he's right or just trying to be more realistic, I'm referring to the incident he showed Eve that was wrote on the newspaper.

And the way they convey the concept of being more akin to someone you once saw divine, now showing its true colors, realizing you may go through the same path while everyone else acts if you already were that person, who brought nothing else but pain. It's wonderful.

It's an amazing show that has the privilege of being one of the few that made me care for the characters and their journey. Let's hope it ends with a bang when the time comes.
