Idk if this is a huge request or not, but could you explain more about Bell? (The shitten in your au)
I would be thankful, take care.
Yeah, ive done like... 3 pieces of her max but she gets SO many asks lol. the story isn't really ready for her yet, and i'd like to finish what im working on before i do more with her, but i'll give the basic rundown.
she LITTERALY started as a joke baby post but she got so much interaction i said i'd expand on her design and now she seems to just have a following of simps (oops, like lamb like daughter)
most of the old ideas for ewen and nari with her are out of date now on the art, but heres a bunch of plot and some unposted sketches under cut
Nari and Ewen are married and leading the cult still. all the siblings have kids, grandkids and even great grandkids (excluding shamura). Its only after they decide having a child is someone for them to love and raise, not someone who they're forcing the cycle of trauma on that they have Bell. And they adore her. While growing up, one by one, the former bishops, all her aunts, uncles, and shamura decided it was time to peacefully end their long lives. So she sees death as a good thing, the satisfying end to a long life story. So when Ewen and Narinder are ready to die together, even though they say she doesn't have to, she takes on the crown and ends if for them with a last "i love you" between them. She runs the cult now which is more themed around their shared neck wound "rings" and their relationship than just the lamb. She's called "the black sheep" by her followers (or queen if they're kinky, princess when shes younger). she wields the crown as a pair of horns and a sythe, sine the cult of the black rings also referenced Ewen's large black horns and she keeps up the theme.
Baal and Aym are her "brothers" (more of her body guards and technically her cousins but she refuses to call them anything else) and her body guards, staying after their master's death. They've known her since she was a baby and still treat her as one sometimes. She's VERY protective over them, but also will bully them sometimes, like kicking their asses when training and saying they're just going easy on her like when she was a kid, knowing full well she's overpowered by the crown.
Because shes such an oddity, the mystic seller assigned one of their followers to keep an eye on her and, much like her "ba ba" she found the overpowered demigod shes now obsessed with. With some help from Ewen before they passed, they were able to translate their glyphs. Now that helper follows her around disguised as a poor imitation of a regular mortal to better understand her and the mortal realm. Or at least thats what she convinced them to do since she wants them around <3 probably not to their masters liking lol. I haven't decided on a name yet. Bell eventually give them the purple crown (they/it)
Before they left, Narinder was trying to reawaken the crowns, whether for the memory of his siblings, or that the cult was growing too large to be centered on the red crown. They're not very powerful right now and Bell is the leader of the others, more like a babysitter.
The blue crown is with Kalliope (kalli for short) (she/her), a distant relative of Kallamar's who had to fight, both physically and socially, with all her other of age relatives to get the chance, since Kallamar's polycule made a LOT of kids and grand kids. She's kind of bitchy about it and whines about everyone not respecting her or how hard she worked. shes a flamboyant cuttlefish and trans femme. also the crown is worn like an earring. Bell has little tolerance for her and they have a lot of bitchy girl fights.
The green crown is with isop (a kinda combo of isopod and aesop) (he/him) who is a rubber ducky isopod. he's Leshy's great great grandkid, and really only god the crown because no one else on the peaceful forest farm leshy put together in his later years really wanted it and figured it meant free babysitting. he's pretty young and small with a fascination for chaos and violence that only little kids without developed social perception can have, though he more watches at this point. The others tend to carry him or he rolls around in a little ball. The crown is worn like glasses.
The orange crown is with Mycelia (lia for short) (they/them plural) who is a homunculus mushroomo made through experimentation by Heket and Sozo before they died. they're the only one who is actually older than Bell. They're undying because they're a hive mind of all the mushroomo, who have been progressively growing. They can see everything the others see, can spout new bodies when needed and even feed on their own dead bodies. Bell sometimes just kills them when they're frustrated with them or other things. They'd be a threat but they're very monotone and emotionless about pretty much everything and don't care. They've worked with the red crown just because death is a natural boon to fungus and keeps them alive. The orange crown is worn as a necklace.
Heres some sketches since I haven't been able to get the designs to my liking but people keep asking so :T

hii! I was wondering if i could request request a professional/upcoming volleyball player reader w blue lock boys?
thank you! do this whenever you free💕
ahhh tysm for your request anon!
actually my first time getting a request 🥹🩷
BLLK BOYS WITH A VOLLEYBALL PLAYER!
chars.: isagi yoichi, bachira meguru, chigiri hyoma, nagi seishiro, mikage reo, itoshi rin, hiori yo, shidou ryusei, itoshi sae, michael kaiser, alexis ness x gn!reader
( although reader is specified as fem in reo, shidou, and kaiser's parts.)
isagi yoichi
this man is obsessed with how you spike. like, borderline analysis mode every time you land a killer shot.
tries so hard to cheer you on during your games, but he’s also yelling tips from the sidelines like he’s your coach.
“nice spike, y/n!! BUT WATCH YOUR BACK LEFT—"
you once invited him to play volleyball, and he absolutely faceplanted while diving for the ball. his soccer instincts don’t always translate well.
lowkey jealous of how you dominate the court but 100% supportive—he’s your number-one fan, and he makes sure you know it.
bachira meguru
oh, he’s playing volleyball with you whether you like it or not.
turns every warmup into an opportunity to spike balls at you for fun.
“c’mon, y/n! block this one! oh, wait—oops, too fast?” giggles maniacally
definitely tries to incorporate soccer dribbling into volleyball. ( spoiler: it doesn’t work, but he thinks it’s hilarious )
somehow, he convinces you to play beach volleyball with him, and he dives into the sand just to make dramatic saves.
chigiri hyoma
he thinks volleyball is artistic—the way you move across the court? beautiful.
he’s not one for loud cheering, but his quiet, supportive claps when you win a point mean everything.
if you challenge him to play volleyball, he absolutely crushes it. His speed makes him terrifying at the net.
you might tease him for being too graceful, and he’ll shoot back with, “at least I don’t trip over my own feet, y/n.”
secretly memorizes your favorite post-game snacks and brings them to every match.
nagi seishiro
volleyball? too much effort. but watching you? sure, he can do that.
if you manage to drag him onto the court, he still dominates because his height makes him impossible to block. he doesn’t even try that hard, which makes it even more annoying.
“huh? i didn’t even jump that high…”
lowkey flexes how good he is when he wants to impress you though.
your games are one of the few things he’ll willingly stay awake for—he’s surprisingly proud when you win, even if he doesn’t say much.
mikage reo
treats your volleyball career like a business venture—he’s always hyping you up to sponsors and teams.
“did you know y/n scored 15 points last game? absolute MVP material.”
if you’re stressed about a big game, he’ll find a way to rent out a fancy gym for you to practice in.
when you win a match, he spoils you—dinner, gifts, whatever you want. you deserve it.
totally brags about you to the blue lock boys, claiming, “she could beat all of you on the court, no question.”
itoshi rin
at first, he doesn’t get why you’re so into volleyball—it’s not soccer, so why bother?
then he watches you play. big mistake. now he’s hooked. he won’t admit it, but he’s insanely proud when you dominate on the court.
refuses to join any friendly volleyball matches because he’s hyper-competitive and will lose it if he makes a mistake.
“volleyball isn’t even my sport, so why would I care if I mess up?”
( spoiler: he cares. a lot. )
secretly watches your games to pick apart your technique, then casually suggests improvements.
“you could be faster on your back-row defense.”
if someone mocks you during a game, rin’s death glare activates, and you have to hold him back from starting a fight.
hiori yo
he’s your calm and quiet supporter who loves the strategy of volleyball.
offers to help you study your opponents before big games and creates detailed notes about their playing styles.
if you’re feeling down after a tough match, hiori has the perfect playlist to cheer you up—it’s borderline magical.
you two bond over the mental aspect of sports, discussing how to stay focused under pressure.
lowkey amazing at volleyball when you play casually together. his precision makes him an insane setter, and he always puts the ball exactly where you need it.
your games are one of the few things he actively looks forward to, and he’s not shy about letting you know how proud he is of you.
shidou ryusei
this menace turns your volleyball practices into pure chaos. he spikes every ball like he’s trying to break the sound barrier.
“c’mon, y/n, don’t be scared! It’s just a little power spike!”
he has zero chill when watching your games.
he’s yelling from the stands, making the wildest comments, and hyping you up louder than anyone else.
“THAT’S MY GIRL! DESTROY THEM!!”
shidou’s energy is unmatched, and while it’s chaotic, it’s also incredibly motivating.
if anyone talks smack about your playing, they better run because shidou takes it personally.
itoshi sae
in the beginning, he acts indifferent—volleyball isn’t soccer, so why should he care?
but once he sees your precision and skill, his interest is piqued. he starts showing up to your games, claiming he’s “just passing by.”
he’s annoyingly good at volleyball when you play together. his smug smirk when he blocks your spikes is enough to make you want to scream.
“was that your best, y/n? try harder.”
despite his teasing, sae respects your dedication and often gives you genuine advice on handling pressure during big matches.
after a win, he’ll give you a subtle nod and say, “good job.”
( that’s basically a love confession coming from him. )
michael kaiser
volleyball? amateur sport. but you? an exception. he’s intrigued by how passionate you are about it.
always finds a way to make everything a competition—“i bet i’d be better at volleyball than you in a week.”
ends up eating his words when you destroy him during a friendly match. he’s so salty about it but tries to play it cool.
“i let you win. don’t get cocky, liebe.”
he calls you his “queen of the court” and insists on showing up to your games in the flashiest outfits, drawing attention everywhere.
secretly loves seeing you in your element and is constantly impressed, though he’ll only admit it in private.
alexis ness
the most polite and supportive fanboy you could ask for. he’s always clapping and smiling during your games.
if you’re nervous before a match, ness is the one calming you down with his soothing words and quiet confidence in you.
he’s surprisingly good at volleyball basics and helps you practice when you need a setter. his gentle encouragement makes training with him a joy.
“you’ve got this, y/n. i believe in you more than anyone.”
keeps a journal of your games where he writes down highlights and his favorite moments—it’s his way of showing how much he cares.
gets a little flustered when you thank him for his support but brushes it off with a shy smile.

Lunatic Blue Ch 9 (Gore TW || Hetalia Doujinshi)
YEAHHHHH AFTER 4 YEARS. 4 YEARS. 4 YEARS.
木綿ドゥフ does it again with another very incredible chapter~ I missed this series so much! The wait was definitely worth it, this chapters as great as the others! I wish I could've finished it faster, I even put My Arika on hold lol, but I had assignments and such D;
There's no gore in this chapter but it's still full of horror and suspense!
If you haven't read this series yet, I HIGHLY recommend it, definitely one of my top top favorites, idk if I like any other more than it. Altho, I started doing a lot to "clean" the pages, which I didn't in the beginning. How much I've grown in both cleaning and translating within this 3 year gap is greatly exemplified in this series... Which is great, but in other words, that also means the first chapters are very drastically... I've been saying for a long time I want to re-do them, I started re-doing the first chapter a couple years back but never finished lol but finally the other day I decided to update it, posting what I have at least. Lets hope my renewed motivation is enough to actually finished...
Since it's been so long, I recommend even those who have read this series to re-read it before reading this one. Anyway, sorry for the long intro! Please enjoy! Here's a list of the prev chapters too:
Lunatic Blue 1
Lunatic Blue 2
Lunatic Blue 3
Lunatic Blue 4
Lunatic Blue 5
Lunatic Blue 6
Lunatic Blue 7
Lunatic Blue 8
I was too lazy to actually redraw this last page, sorry >.> Look at him mad broody tho lol
Also, I accidentally made this and thought it looked cool so I thought I'd add it in lol:
Notes:
Rather than "sir", child Alfred calls Arthur "nii-san" which means "older brother", but it's also largely used to refer to any older young man.
Rather than "the excitement" (of space), America says "romance", but I was afraid any young and/or American readers wouldn't get that it's meant in an excitement sense, not like love kind of romance.
I'm still not that great at translating, I had to guess for a lot of the sound effects bc English onomatopoeia sucks D;
The expression I tled to "prideful" literally is "hates to lose"
If anyone wants to make a clean version
I did not make this series, I'm just your friendly neighborhood translator~

Thank you so much for the tag @therealsaintscully!
How many works do you have on ao3? 48! 30 for BBC Sherlock and 18 for The X-Files.
What’s your total word count? 924,659 (whoa, that's a lot of words)
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? (Never) Turn Your Back to the Sea White Knight Incidents with Dogs, Curious and Otherwise Another Auld Lang Syne The Dead Detective
Do you respond to comments? Why/why not?
I try to. I'm not always as on top of it as I intend to be. I find comments tremendously meaningful and I at times get emotional while reading them. They are important to me. I reread them often.
I often fear that I'm a poor conversationalist and overthink my responses, which can tend to freeze me up.
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
Most of my long fics have happy endings.
The Pillar upon Which England Rests is my ode to Mrs. Hudson. As she and John are grieving Sherlock's fall, she tells John all about how she and Sherlock first met. I don't think of it as a particularly sad story, but I suppose that ending counts as angsty, as Sherlock's eventual return is not addressed in the story.
I guess the shorter, more horrorish ones have angsty (or at least uneasy) endings.
Nothing Happened in Belarus has S4 Sherlock, in the throes of his breakdown, somehow briefly traveling through time and encountering S1 John, who cares for him. It's a brief reprieve for him in the midst of a personal hell, but there is no resolution. When he returns to his own time, he is still forced to face what's coming next.
At the end of Leaves, Sherlock and John have either successfully defeated the bloodthirsty plant that has invaded their flat, or they're being digested by it. I leave that decision up to the reader. :)
The Web has Sherlock returned from his time away and reunited with John, but there is a part of him that will always remain haunted and deeply paranoid.
What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
Most of them, heh. I like to leave my characters in a good place after putting them through hell.
I guess I'd have to say White Knight? I still get a little giddy when I think about the way Sherlock proposes at the end of that one, and how happy and free they both are after the crushing weight of misunderstandings and grief has fallen away.
Whirlwind has a pretty joyful ending, too.
Do you write crossovers?
I haven't written a crossover, but I have done a few fusion fics. The Dead Detective is a fusion with Jumpin' Jack Flash. Whirlwind is a fusion with Twister. Out There is a fusion with The X-Files.
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Not really. Most responses on AO3 have been warm and supportive. I have gotten a few unnecessarily vicious comments on some of my ficlets here on Tumblr, but I do my best to ignore those.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Most of my smut tends to be of the R-rated variety, because I'm frankly just not very good at writing it.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, sort of, but I don't believe it was done maliciously and I don't intend to call attention to it.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes!
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I have not. I'm open to the idea, but I honestly don't know if I'm cut out for it. I think my tendency to wing things and my utter lack of a consistent writing schedule would drive a potential writing partner mad.
What's your all-time favourite ship?
Mulder and Scully were my first true fandom love. I love Sherlock and John equally as much, if not more.
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
There are quite a few WIPs on my hard drive that may never see the light of day. As far as posted fics, my Sherlock/Knight Rider fusion probably won't be finished.
What are your writing strengths?
I like to think that I'm pretty good at capturing character mannerisms, and writing from a perspective that lets the reader feel what the POV character is feeling.
What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm not all that impressed with my smut writing abilities.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I steer clear of it. Although Google translate can be helpful, IMO there are too many opportunities to make embarrassing or inadvertently offensive mistakes.
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
The X-Files
What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?
I really enjoy the character dynamics between Hannibal/Will in Hannibal and Lestat/Louis in Interview with the Vampire. I think I'd have a harder time getting into their heads than I do with Sherlock and John, so I'll probably just continue admiring them from afar for now.
What's your favourite fic you've written?
This is such a hard question! I'm probably proudest of the work that went into Out There, but I have a huge soft spot for The Pillar upon Which England Rests and (Never) Turn Your Back to the Sea.
If anyone out there would like to share your thoughts on some of the things you've written, please do! I'll also tag @thetimemoves @arwamachine @raina-at @vulpesmellifera @iheardyou @totallysilvergirl @khorazir

Susie's Super Star Repair Service! (coming eventually...?) ft. new side blog, just dropped
"When strangely-familiar stars spark to life across the universe, Susie sees a chance to rescue her father from the byte-sized boundaries of his digital purgatory (and turn a profit, while she's at it). However, her developing plans evince an undesirable yet ultimately inescapable side effect—in piecing together Max Haltmann's soul, Susie will simultaneously restore functionality to the Deus ex Machina, Star Dream: the destructive, numb-hearted computer that has held him and his memories ransom for years.
"Still, no good businesswoman is afraid to take strategic and potentially-catastrophic-on-a-universal-scale risks when majority shares of her dreams are at stake. The biggest glitch in this technological operation, as a matter of fact, has nothing to do with her father, nor the not-even-half-baked Clockwork Star that became his tomb. No…
"The greatest risk is prolonged exposure to the trademark antics of a beguiling wizard extraordinaire (which roughly translates from Magolorese to 'least agreeable person in existence'). Susie knows he can't be trusted—but his understanding of ancient technology can't be beat and his long-suffering Starcutter can't be outpaced. If only she and her insufferable 'captain' can follow their begrudging agreement to the letter… maybe they'll both come out of this with only minor injuries and moderate insanity.
"The bottom line: it'll take patience, prowess, and persuasion for Executive President Susie Haltmann, the universe's greatest powerhouse of pink-haired persistence, to finally make her dreams reality—and with everything between a shrouded suitor, a cosmic jester, secret keepsakes, long-forgotten promises, clandestine coronal plots, and Star Dream itself threatening to send her off course… it might take just a little bit of magic, too."
some cover thumbnails. still not sure which one i'm going with, if any. but i did like the top middle so i gave it some values. (i wanted to incorporate magolor since he's unfortunately an important character, and the lor and star dream/haltmann of course... and, yup, that's it. nobody else along for the ride. no murderous stowaways or anything.)
this might be the last post about my fic on this blog (unless i make some particularly banger art based on it or something), so if this interests you, check out my other blog, dedicated to this and any future fanfic endeavors, fresh off the Gryll (btw that was a Kirby joke, based on the Kirby video game series, very few will get this!!!). and feel free to send in asks i suppose? i will try not to spoil TOO much
#kirby#kirby fanfic#lrblev art#sketch#creative writing#text post#susie haltmann#magolor#master crown#star dream#president haltmann#kirby planet robobot#its literally a fix-it fic har har har!#except i dont really like that term for it#i wouldnt call it “fixing” stuff. just some ideas that went WAY TOO FAR. as in 230k words too far. currently#and anyway... who knows if susie will actually do more GOOD than HARM this time around...!#because there WILL be harm. on all sides. for it is the best of times. it is the worst of times. there are black markets and dinner dates.#oh wait i should mention this is a gen fic#i draw the catboy and the science girl kissing sometimes but this is... not quite that. OR IS IT? its not. UNLESS? nah#also she has a different love interest...#okay besides meta knight (completely one-sided. but its okay susie! everyone else has a crush on him too. including magolor.)#(a moderately-plot-relevantly bi wizard.)#(its still gen tho.)#(okay bi.)#(i mean bye.)

Desperado is doing a book signing event in a popular nerd bookstore tomorrow, along with Hikaru Sato, a fellow student of Suzuki's. Hikaru Sato is well known for his love of dressing up in maid dresses, sweater dresses, and so on, and he's been trying to convince Desperado to dress up in some kind of similar outfit since last year when Desperado's photo book was originally announced.
Desperado's been tweeting about trying to decide on an outfit for the event, and has listed a variety of options, but it seems like he plans to keep it a surprise until the actual book signing. But he tweeted this today:
Despe:
I happened to see a video that said something like "Before going to bed tonight, make sure you did your best all day!"
The first thing I thought of was "I have to buy some underwear that I'm okay with people seeing for tomorrow's book signing"
Tomorrow, which will it be
#el desperado#hikaru sato#njpw#my translation#If you suddenly see photos of Desperado in a maid outfit or a mini skirt or something all over twitter tomorrow this is why#El Desperado understands his fans on a level that other wrestlers can only dream of#I've been meaning to translate the tweets leading up to this event but I simply ran out of energy#but I wanted to post a translation of at least one so#Anyway special shoutout to the fan in the replies who said Desperado should borrow something from someone in Pheromones

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]
Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?
[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*
–
Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.
Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!
Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.
* NOTE: Please note that this is an incomplete transcript, as I was primarily relying on Aypierre's translation mod at the time and if I am not confident of the translation, I do not include it. As always, please feel free to add on translations or message me corrections.
#Pactw#QSMP#Pac#March 18 2024#As much as I love keeping people updated about Pac / the other Portuguese-speaking creators#I think I might not make as many transcribed posts for their clips anymore#I just don't think I'm qualified enough to be transcribing things for a language I don't know#like yeah we have the Qlobal Translator and Aypierre's translators to rely on#And I'm always upfront when I'm not 100% sure about a translation#but I've been thinking about it a lot and it kinda makes me feel a bit icky. Idk.#I might be overthinking this but I just I don't want to spread around translations I'm not super confident about#esp. since I know a lot of people cite my clips in analysis posts or link them to other people as resources#and 90% of the time I'm like ''Hell yeah I love seeing people getting a lot of use out of the archive''#but sometimes I get a bit anxious like ''Did I do a good enough job translating this''#''Am I ruining someone's entire perception of a conversation or character because I left one word out or mistranslated something?''#And like I said that's normally not a HUGE concern since if I'm not certain about a translation I just won't post a clip. but you know#idk it might just be the anxiety talking but I really really don't want to spread bad info#Happy to hear other folks' perspective#I'm really grateful for people like Bell and Pix and others who translate clips and I always try to reblog those#but we don't have a ton of people posting clips & translating things on Tumblr since we're so English-centric#which is part of the reason WHY I like sharing clips of the non-English-speaking CCs#but at the same time I want to do an accurate job representing what they're saying#Maybe I'll just start posting things and give a TLDR context of what they're talking about but not a transcript#that way native-speakers can hop in and add translations if that's something they're comfortable doing#and if not then well. at least I'm not sharing something that isn't super accurate#idk I'm just thinking out loud a bit in the tags#But I'm open to hearing other people's thoughts on the matter#Anyways giant rant aside. q!Pac is NOT doing ok rn

they need to replace the cigarette machine that's next to our house with an ice-cream vending machine. urgently. or just combine the two. ice-cream and cigarettes. 🍦🚬
#cigarette machine sounds stupid but google tells me that that's the right translation for Zigarettenautomat?#are those even a thing in english speaking countries? I don't think I've ever seen one in at least american media#doddie redet#anyways. this post is inspired by the ice cream vending machine that's new in our town that's simply too far away for me to get there#like i could get there in a 3 minute walk but i just can't do that rn :(#they should put it next to my house. so i could get ice-cream whenever i want

you said we could bother you... ever consider transfem maglor?
hm, I don't really have much in the way of gender/orientation headcanons for most elves, but I feel like if anything I see him more as the "I have bigger problems and also a sword" brand of agender, if that makes sense?
#asks#thanks for the ask!#honestly i feel like a lot of the feanorians are somewhere along the lines of#'perceive me however you want; third person pronouns are your problem not mine' valar-style approach to gender?#like a sort of 'why bother with gender when i'm making stars'#transfem maglor is also totally valid tho#reminds me of something i was looking into a while ago#about how the wonky finwean gender ratio could potentially be an effect of a few thousand years' worth of transcription and translation#across like. pengolodh; eriol; elrond; bilbo; and tolkien at the minimum#so that's at least five canonical translations the silm's gone through?#anyways it's interesting to see how the only finweans specifically noted to be women are the ones who have either given birth#or are literally named Noble Lady#like. artanis; ar-feiniel; arwen; indis; miriel#and then on the other hand the mens names are a lot more neutral (arakano; aikanaro; etc)#so it's possible that some elves were just assumed to be men by default because they weren't specifically named Princess Woman Daughter#whoops this turned into a bonus post in the tags lol

Man, this doujin isn't fucking around
Meanwhile, Seikuri in the background...
Doujin: Flashbackers by Totobe
#my ramblings#bocchi the rock#no fr tho. please read flashbackers!! it's so good!#it's a ryokita doujin made by one of my fave artist and everything about it is just...so great. I can't express it enough#whether you ship ryokita or not it's still a good read! like really it's well articulated and goes in depth about ryo & kita's relationship#and acknowledges how unhealthy it is but the realization of this makes the both of them understand each other more clearly without-#-seeing through rose colored glasses. I just- ughhh! I'm not good with words and I can't stress it enough so once again please read this!#you can really tell how much this artist is passionate and dedicated about the ship#not only that but how they color the cover page (and their art in general) is JUST SO CATCHING! LITERAL EYE CANDY!#and the pacing and panelling of the story is well thought out plus the equal balance of humor and angst is so entertaining & heart wrenchin#and their art style... fricking adorable and expressive and striking!! Just grrr!! I LOVE THIS ARTIST'S WORK SO MUCH!!!#I'm not that particularly crazy about ryokita but they are very interesting to explore and could have some potential if they worked out-#-their own flaws. I've been meaning to draw them sometime (if only I could start posting decent bnj art-#-tfw hyper fixation so strong it overwhelms you and in turn can't make fanart of it even if you most definitely WANT TO)#ehem. anyways I think it's quite criminal that ryokita was one of the least popular btr ships#in other story. I was woken up by my cat way to early today so I ended up reading this in a half awake state XD#I just found out last night that this doujin was already translated so what better time to read this other than first thing in the morning-#-running on three hours of sleep 😃👍

it turns out I didn't show my Rain World OCs fully. so here's a post. there's also a couple of cute sketches with the two of them.
(the characters are heavily based on the artificer and the monk from the rain world, but it's not them, since their encounter and them living together is impossible in canon and such).
#the yellow one is my sona#the red one is also based on someone#I'm working on their lore#but I don't want to post my poorly translated notes#so here's the reference. at least it's pretty#artists on tumblr#rw slugcat#rw oc#rain world oc

breaking news: local woman goes to the movie theater and somehow DOESN'T see the mario movie again for the millionth time? who IS she??????
#this APPEARS to be a non-mario related post but stick with me i'll bring it back around in the tags#instead i saw the japanese stage production of spirited away (subtitled) and it was absolutely lovely :) :) :)#i LOVE spirited away (makes me cry every time) and i LOVE theatre and to see how they translated so many incredible sights#from the movie to the stage was delightful#but let me tell you...the mario brainrot runs deep right now and my treacherous thoughts started taking me places#mario spirited away AU?? is that anything?? tragically separated bros fic where luigi is in the chihiro role and mario is in the haku role?#where mario saved his brother's life many years ago but lost his name and memories in the process and was corrupted by bowser's magic#and the experience was so traumatizing that luigi forgot about the other world they found together and has been told for years#that his brother simply drowned in the sewer saving him#and then as an adult luigi finds his way back into the world and has to serve bowser and fight the mushroom kingdom to survive#but at least he's being helped by a strange half-human creature who somehow knows his name without being told. at least there's that#I GOTTA PONDER ON THIS A LITTLE MORE BUT THERE IS SOMETHING HERE. I'VE GOT SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS#something that hasn't come up yet on this blog but is crucial to one's understanding of me: i LOVE weird AU's#i've never met a weird AU that i couldn't make work somehow. just watch me!!!#and also if you would want to see more elaboration on this let me know lol

sorry for being a pretentious "foreign literature" poster. as if it's my fault.
#hm i should make an original post tag#it's not foreign to me. it's very much at home#you guys should be glad i can't be half this insufferable with the gay cowboy book i'm going back to reading rn#because that one is like at least 3 times as long#but it's a completely different style and vibe. also i fucking hate the only english translation it got#so even if i do find bits that make me want to post about relating it to blorbos it won't be as easy or frequent

Borrow - Mao Buyi (借 - 毛不易) Translation
Finally figured out how to tackle this song I've been obsessed with for years. Enjoy!
借
Borrow
借一盏午夜街头 昏黄灯光
A streetlamp, casting hazy yellow light at midnight
照亮那坎坷路上人影一双
To illuminate the pair of silhouettes on the uneven pavement
借一寸三九天里 冽冽暖阳
An inch of frozen sunlight from the dead of winter
融这茫茫人间刺骨凉
To melt the frigid cold of this endless world
借一泓古老河水 九曲回肠
A scoop of water from an ancient, twisting river
带着那摇晃烛火 漂往远方
To take that swaying candlelight drifting far away
借一段往日旋律 婉转悠扬
A stanza of an old song, gentle and melodious
把这不能说的轻轻唱
To quietly sing this which cannot be said
被这风吹散的人说他爱得不深
Those blown apart by these winds will say that they never loved deeply
被这雨淋湿的人说他不会冷
Those caught in this rain will say that they will not be cold
无边夜色到底还要蒙住多少人
How many more people will be enveloped by this endless night?
它写进眼里 他不敢承认
It lingers in the mind, yet he dare not admit
借一抹临别黄昏悠悠斜阳
A glimpse the setting sun in the moment of farewell
为这漫漫余生添一道光
To add some light to the rest of this life
借一句刻骨铭心来日方长
A simple 'we have plenty of time' etched into the soul
倘若不得不天各一方
To prepare for the chance of forced separation
被这风吹散的人说他爱得不深
Those blown apart by these winds will say that they never loved deeply
被这雨淋湿的人说他不会冷
Those caught in this rain will say that they will not be cold
无边夜色到底还要蒙住多少人
How many more people will be enveloped by this endless night?
它写进眼里 他不敢承认
It lingers in the mind, yet he dare not admit
可是啊
And yet
总有那风吹不散的认真
There is a sincerity that cannot be blown apart by this wind
总有大雨也不能抹去的泪痕
There are tears that cannot be washed away by this rain
有一天太阳会升起在某个清晨
Some day, on some morning, the sun will rise
一道彩虹 两个人
Under a rainbow, two people will stand
借一方乐土让他容身
An acre of land for him to call home
借他平凡一生
An ordinary life for him to live
#cpop#cpop translations#chinese langblr#mandarin langblr#mao buyi#translations i made#im fully cheating btw bc you're supposed to insert the word borrow before each 'a (noun)'#at least thats how the original lyrics are written#but like... bc chinese just kinda lets you omit the subject of sentences but you cant really do that in english#so this was the only way ive figured out to make the lines work while still maintaining the air of#almost.. detachment? distance? i just really didnt want to insert a pronoun there basically#im just hoping people get the hint from the title pretty much#its pronouns and verb tense thats the two things english has in spades but chinese just *doesnt*#theres just a lot of educated guessing involved in translation i guess but i always feel like im assuming something i shouldnt#this is one of those songs that make me think 'im a translator not a poet but i feel like i should be'#bc this song? this is poetry#considered putting the video of the performance of this song on singer at the top of the post but#tbh i dont really like how they did it there#its too... grand. too large#this is not a Large song#this is a song that's supposed to quietly sit at the back of your brain and Haunt you for ages (a lot of mby songs are like that)#Spotify

Duolingo will try and convince you that practicing for a few days when you feel like you can’t take a new lesson yet is a failure, that you aren’t doing as well as you could and “oh no! The ranking”
The owl lies. I have taken three near perfect practice lessons the last three days because I want to make sure I have the stuff I’ve learned seared into my brain better. If i don’t take a week or two for practicing old lessons I’m going to forget how to spell pharmacy in Norwegian and then I’ll fail a future one. You can’t expect me to just learn new words constantly without brushing up on old ones and NOT forget how to spell something or the word for something else, you dumb bitch. This is about me learning how to listen and read, not about how long I can stay in the sapphire league. The notifications about it are super annoying but I can’t shut them off or I’ll forget when I’ve spent the day doing something different than usual and my schedule is thrown off
#emma posts#some nights I think it would be more convenient to just read some of my translation dictionary but that fucking owl doesn’t know I do that#and it will break my streak#I have been keeping up for over 200 days#since I started using the app actually#if that fucking owl says I stopped practicing because I spent a night with my actual dictionary I will execute it like French nobility#I’m weirdly heated about my streak#I guess I could take a Swedish lesson if I really wanted to be lazy but then I mix up spelling!#at least Spanish is so different that i don’t mix up the spelling but I’m so rusty at it and haven’t been focusing on that one#sometimes I wish I was taking in person classes so I could ask questions but then people would see me and I get nervous doing this with#people watching and do worse than when I’m alone#I’m also a little pissed that the app focuses on travel so much because I’m learning the language for something else first but it’s#better than nothing and my alternative is just read dictionaries and look for YouTube videos#why am I so bad at making sentences in other languages? I can listen to people speak with words I’ve learned and get that fast. but making#the sentences MYSELF is so much harder!#and I don’t have anyone to talk to with it anyway#the only guy I can think of is probably dead and I’m not even sure how to contact him anymore

Had enough items to speedrun and read both parts to Silvio's, then found more items and was able to read the sweet end for both Clavis & Jin.... aw hell yeah, triple epilogues baby 👀
I still feel very torn about how they're running things lately though, Ikepri is starting to feel much more cash cow-y with the high point requirements, the premium ends requiring BOTH readthroughs, and no more bday stories but instead grinding through events... love the characters & the storylines but like.. damn. i'm getting genshin ptsd ngl💀
#aerin.txt#same thing w genshin regarding fomo and requirements and stuff sometimes#im just grateful this isn't one that requires you to have strong cards and grinding up those cards just to progress..im so tired of farming#it's a big chunk of why i don't play obey me as much if at all these days.. and why i dropped mr love to begin with 😢#tears of themis is lucky I'm still invested but also like that one doesn't always feel as bad#...maybe that's just bc of how behind i am idk. but the gacha rates & 50/50s still suck ass.#at least they allow you to post cards and translations in places so you don't HAVE to catch em all lol#what in hell is had is also on thin ice bc its quite possibly the WORST gacha I've ever seen. rates suck; no pity; no info/breakdowns ;;#you don't even know what characters are available on the standard banners aside from the main characters.. what if i wanted a side hoe 😭#but anyway i think that's enough of a vent outta me. i really need to get my ass and neck away from gacha games or at least try to aksjdjf#hope everyone's been doing well and hope yall enjoy the event#i really really loved silvio's route bc of how silly they are (and how hot it was). kinda liked clavis' but jin's felt kinda meh imo.#lowkey a ventpost
