I just wanted to say, thanks again to everyone who likes, reblogs, or adds nice tags to my translations on here. I never intended for this to be a translation account, but it kind of happened by accident anyway, and I really appreciate everyone who has encouraged me to keep sharing translations.

I know that the kind of stuff I'm interested in has a pretty small English-language audience (which is why no one else has already translated it, and why I felt the need to start studying Japanese in order to read it)

I tend to think "no one cares about this but me, so why post a translation of it" but it's good to be reminded that there are other people in the English-language side of wrestling fandom who are interested in the same stuff I'm interested in, and who want to read the stuff I want to translate.

I don't always have the time or energy to write proper translations for everything I want to, but as long as people keep showing an interest, I'll keep sharing what I can.

thinking about the kiru and kara dynamic again. in particular karas view of her is very amusing to me

[lastthroes]

there's just something so good about reverting the sibling dynamic of the older sibling who raised the younger one, the mentor/protector vs the protected one. i've mostly imagined it in the context of edna protecting dragon!eizen, especially from other people trying to kill him, or how she has the highest defense stat in zesty's party when eizen has the lowest and how would that play out if they were reunited, but there's also that rays skit with oscar saying that he wanted to be the one protecting teresa from then on, that he didn't want to be the little brother being protected forever

Franklin's comparative analysis of Gon and Uvogin reflects in a not-insignificant notion to how Gon and Killua work together versus how Nobunaga and Uvogin worked together–– though with caveats, of course. Killua at this point in the story (and the majority of the story, CAA not included) was and is physically stronger than Gon. He doesn't need Gon's protection. Gon doesn't feel the need to provide it, either. He holds complete trust in Killua's abilities and strength, and so lacks the same sort of support power-up that Uvo got when fighting alongside Nobu.

This both humanizes Uvo, furthering his post-mortem characterization, reinforces Gon's characterization, further establishes the dynamic between Uvo and Nobu, and provides set up for future shifting Gon-Killua dynamics, the Fast-Approaching Killua style abuse mental breakdown included.

Okay so. When I was around ten years old, one of the free TV channels in France (called NT1) started broadcasting WWE wrestling and did so for a few years. It was all the boys talked about during rec time. That broadcasting literally created a generation of wrestling fans in the country (called Génération NT1 or Génération Catch Attack).

Already a snob, I despised it (maybe it was also because I knew I'd be rejected if I tried to share in the Boys' Fun™). So I didn't discover wrestling at 10. I would have loved it.

And now I wonder, if I'd seen CM Punk on screen at that formative age, would I have found him unbelievably cool? Probably. Would I have sworn not to drink and do drugs and smoke to do like him? No doubt. Would I have discovered piracy and streaming and started watching stuff in english through wrestling (rather than SPN) as it stopped being broadcast, to continue watching? Certainly.

My question is, would I have become an alcoholic in my teenage years if CM Punk had been my childhood hero? I think the answer is no. I think it's funny the paths life takes, the near-misses. It makes me very sad.

Hit a milestone today: gathered a total of 4,500 kudos across 56 works for Dragon Age 2 posted to Archive Of Our Own on my “hollyand” account 🙌  54 fanfics written and 2 artworks drawn! 😁

Thank you to all of you kind and generous people who have supported me and my writing over the past 9 years (and a bit), you’re all awesome ❤️

you know, sometimes I think about how I have pretty much never heard a student complaint that wasn’t valid on some level. They’re often responding to real problems/flaws/inconsistencies/weaknesses in something and their critiques of it are often more precise and dead-on than we give them credit for. but they’re right (when they’re right) in a void. they have 0 context and so the judgment is off even when they’re hitting the mark.

mom was saying how she wasn’t good at getting gifts and was like “I don’t even know what to get you :(” and I was like. no mom. I’m the problem here.

[githvyrik]

see the thing abt me is I take the roleplaying in video games so seriously that I just start making shit up about the character I play and their rich inner history and complications and motivations and hobbies and quirks. so basically I made up too much of a backstory and personality for my bg3 character and now I don’t even wanna finish the stupid game I just wanna play this character in a dnd campaign

You’ve been called upon to plan drag to perform tomorrow. What are you doing? Go into as much detail as you like!

My drag persona is going to be be Him/Herwin, Alligator Wrestler. I'll wear the standard khakis, but with fishnets and heels (and much shorter shorts). Or stiletto hiking boots, if such a thing exists. You get the picture.

Anyway, I'll introduce myself, compliment various members of the audience on their plumage or their defensive camouflage or whatever, then launch into "Down Under" by Men At Work. Halfway through the song, someone offstage will throw an inflatable alligator at me and the music will transition to "Maneater" by Hall and Oates, which I'll sing while wrestling the alligator.

At the end of my act, after I've pinned the alligator, I'll ask an audience member to help me tape its mouth shut so I can safely transport it to a golf course for release.
