I'm gonna have to say no, because 3 of the 4 are unfinished (and one of them is quite far from being finished), and that might frustrate Tomonori. He's a perfectionist who tends to apply his own rigorous standards to the majority of people. I also tend to wax verbose in my writing, and considering he writes tanka as a hobby, he might not approve of my style. Content-wise, he'd like the ones centered on him and Shiki, although he'd be annoyed by my lack of knowledge of Go and my anachronistic, not-very-funny, possibly not-translated-well pun. I don't know if he'd like the tanka I wrote from his perspective. I want to say he'd agree with the message, but he might think my execution was sloppy or a bit too blatant. He would react to "Taming of the Ox" with shock, embarrassment, amusement, possibly arousal (though that could be my bias speaking), hurt, and disappointment, in that approximate order. (Embarrassment might make a comeback throughout.) He'd like that I made him the Dominant and had him emotionally torment Akifusa throughout the scene, but after the first couple chapters he might be slightly wounded or self-conscious that he comes off as a jerk because that fic doesn't do a great job showcasing the kinder side of his character. He'd probably criticize my lack of clarity involving a certain revelation later in the fic (I'll leave it unspoiled), and he'd be disappointed that it doesn't really go anywhere, plot-wise. (I think he would read the whole thing and convince himself he just wanted to see how bad it could get, but he'd be secretly intrigued by the premise, even though he'd probably think it was poorly written.) Now, I'm very intrigued to know how he'd react to Aki After Tentacles, even though that's not AO3-ready yet. I hope he'd at least approve of my portrayal of his character, but it's hard to say. ...God, this is hard when I'm the only person who has any fics posted on AO3 about him, so of course I'm biased.

A Day With Jude Jazza: Chapter Five "22:00 - Moonlit Room"
Please expect grammatical errors and translation inaccuracies. This is a full translation. Creative liberties are taken for characterization and smoother translation process. Cybird owns everything. Re-blogs are appreciated, but please do not post my translation elsewhere. Thank you for your support! ☾.
Even though it's mildish spice this chapter, MDNI.
Kate: Nn-haaa.
Jude: Still not givin’ up?
Kate: N-No I won’t.
We were supposed to have dinner together, and fall asleep talking about trivial things,
[Flashback]
Kate: I want to beat you at least at one thing, Jude.
My brief comment stoked his sadistic desires.
Jude: Then, wanna play a game?
Kate: Huh?
He pushed me down onto the bed and straddled me with a twisted smile.
Jude: First one t’get impatient loses.
Jude: Do yer best, princess.
[Back to the present]
Kate: Haa-ahhh
He blew on tip of my breast as his fingertip slowly caressed its’ arc.
It makes my entire body tremble with pleasure, but the faint stimulation isn’t enough to make me climax.
After being teased repeatedly, I stretched my hands to retaliate,
Jude: Too easy. I won’t let ya do somethin’ cheeky.
But they were instantly pinned together above my head.
Jude: Seriously, such a stubborn woman.
Kate: Jude you’re such an awful guy!
Jude: Who’s the one who fell for that awful guy?
Kate: Right back at you!
I probably could've translated this as, "Say’s the one who fell for a stubborn woman!" Due to 「そっくりそのままお返しします」 being a response one says back to another person. For ex, Person A: You're late. Person B: Yeah, well you're always late. But, I chose to leave it as is.
Our tit for tat continues and I get criticized again.
He was the first who put an end to this stubborn rivalry.
Jude: …..Ridiculous.
Kate: What?
I was surprised that he released my hands, but he rose from the bed and put something around my neck.
Kate: A necklace…?
A glittering milky stone hung around my neck.
Jude: Givin’ that to ya.
Jude: Got it from a business meetin’ today, but yer probably the only one who’d use it.
While he pokes the stone with his finger and gazes listlessly out the window, I’m next to him, staring intently at the stone.
Kate: It’s beautiful….what’s the stone called?
Jude: …….Moonstone.
To him, the moon is the symbol of a promise.
(But it torments Jude like a curse.)
He moves ahead, suffering over a promise he wants to fulfill and the reality that he won’t achieve it.
The gift he gave me was a stone that bore the name of the moon.
Jude: Ain’t it fine, it seemed like ya.
I felt happy and a little sad as I squeezed the necklace tightly and laid my head on his chest.
Kate: Thank you, I’ll take good care of it.
(I hope the moon falls into Jude’s hands like this necklace.)
Until one day he fulfills his promise to go to the moon, this little moon will continue to shine around my neck.
He tenderly stroked my head, and as I felt joy and love, the back of my throat started to sting, so I raised the white flag.
Kate: Jude, I surrender.
Jude: Huh?
Kate: Please be as gentle as possible.
I touched him with a kiss and put my arms around his neck,
Jude: ……..Ha.
Despite his mean smile, he gently pins me down on the bed.
Jude: Don’t worry, I’ll take good care o’ ya.
In a moonlit room,
— The day with Jude Jazza isn’t over yet.

Forbidden Fruit
winchester!twins x latina!reader
synopsis: when adam and eve stumbled into the garden of eden, god had only one rule. the fruit that came from the tree, with it’s beautiful green leaves and delicious looking fruit was forbidden. neither one would eat it, or they shall face a consequence worse than death. yet when both twins meet you, a face far too beautiful for a school like this, they face the same temptation that adam and eve once did.
series warnings: smut, angst, jealousy, dark themes, sibling rivalry
yazzy's comments:okay i do have to give credit to @floralscented because their stanford!dean fics came out before my own. i love a good twins au and love triangle. this will not have chapters in order as each piece can be read as a standalone. also ave and I were discussing this so they are also credited for the brain rot we had with these fuckers.

you met the boys in the fall at stanford during orientation, noting their similar features and contradicting behaviors.
michael, the oldest, was reserved. didn’t speak much and often used his eyes to communicate. his clothes were ironed and tailored to every single inch of skin. glasses perched on his freckled nose, pillows of pink pursed into a thin line unless he turned them upside down for a brief frown. hair parted and combed neatly to the side. you’d find him in the library, in his own reserved study room getting a head start on other assignments or reading greek history. book in one hand and an apple in another. the man was a health freak.
dean, the youngest of the two was more outgoing. that charming smile and way with words had anyone practically under his spell. usually his hair was spiky, not really combed out and left alone. unlike his older twin, dean had no issue speaking his mind, yet when it came to feelings he would keep them inside. his eyes always a soft green, ones any girl would lose themselves in. you’d often see him on the football field running laps or drills. being captain was a tough position but he made it seem easy. his diet was terrible, always ditching lunch breaks for burgers across the street. the cheesier the better.
both boys gained lots of attention that first year and though it took time to not confuse them, eventually people spotted the differences. knew which twin like or didn’t like, sometimes the hard way. michael didn’t like to make chitchat, so when the cheerleaders would spot him in the hallway and rush over, he’d flash them a glare before walking away. and when dean spotted those same cheerleaders later, flaunting his infamous smile, they’d walk away. dean hated how michael ruined his reputation sometimes, he wanted to fit in for once. or at least try to.
you had spotted signs to not get the twins confused, recalling michael always carried his watch and had a slightly darker shade of green in his eyes. though that’s if you could stand looking at him in the eyes long enough. the older twin was easily annoyed, looking down upon everyone like a god and his mortals.
when it came to dean, the young man instantly brightened up the room. his hair was either spiky or somewhat shaggy. eyes a bright green like a candy apple, lips curled into a sweet smile. a total sweetheart and the poster boy for any rom com. sometimes though, he carried a faint smell of cigarettes. if anyone were to ask, no he hadn’t been smoking.

just wanted to share some nice therapy thoughts I’ve been thinking about lately.
I’ve been in therapy fairly consistently for ten years now, and have been a practicing therapist for four of them. I always resented the imbalance of feeling like I cared about my therapists more than they cared about me, especially since it was their job to care about me. as people, they didn’t care about me. logically I knew this couldn’t be true, but as someone with many issues in the area of attachment, that logic didn’t always translate to my beliefs.
but Chappell Roan performed “Pink Pony Club” at the Grammys, and the first person I wished I could reach out to was my 8-year-old client who used to request it in our sessions. I think of a 7-year-old I worked with whenever I get takeout from a certain restaurant because he is the reason I tried it in the first place. I see stuffed animals and gravitate toward the cheetahs and cats because I worked with a 4-year-old who loved them and they make me think of her. I think of one of the very first clients I ever worked with when I excitedly show people new things I bought because after a horrible depressive episode, one day she logged in and said “I’m going to do a little haul for you” before excitedly showing me the things she got after managing to get out of bed. whenever I am the red player in Connect 4, I think of the 6-year-old who was the first client I had who wanted to be yellow (and how I learned that multiple kids chose red because red is winning on the box).
it’s true that they didn’t know me the way I came to know them, but they are on my mind often and have become a part of my own story and everyday life. and it’s not my job to care about them anymore, but I do. I care so much and I am always rooting for them.
and if you ever worry about whether or not your therapist cared about you, I hope you think of this post and know that, at least most of the time, yes, we do. I can’t speak for all therapists, there are always exceptions, and this doesn’t excuse any of that. but the majority of the time, it’s not just you. we think about you and we care about you, we just can’t always say it the way we want to.
#idk just thinking thoughts#especially because I keep seeing pink pony club and I miss my kiddo#em.mft#sentences border on senseless

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

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

Playing Cooking Mama with Finn so he can explain what all the foods are that I don't know.
#I like the Wii one the best so far I think just because it has a lot more dishes that I recognize.#And I also think it has a lot more universal dishes. Cooking Mama 4 and 5 feel like they lean a lot more towards Asain sorts of dishes.#Which I mean. Makes complete sense. I also love that the Wii version has little flags next to the dishes that indicate where each dish-#-is from. I thought that was a really nice cute little detail.#I have yet to play the deserts one on the 3DS because for some reason I feel a need to complete 4 and 5 first. Or at least get-#-all of the dishes to gold medals first. I can worry about the other minigames latee. Which are really fun.#But it's been taking me a while because I enjoyed 4 more than 5 so I've been slacking on 5 for a while now.#Bu I thinkkkk I'm close to finishing the dishes on there? I'm not sure.#I'm probably going to go and emulate the Wii version afterwards because I only saw Jerma stream it and-#-he reasonably only did some dishes and didn't do every dish as far as I can remember. But it was the reason I really wanted the-#-Cooking Mama games in the first place and considering that our Wii is. broke. I might as well.#I already have a Wii emulator as well on my computer and have played Wii games on there before...#does this. can this even count as posting about Finn.#can I make a tomato tomato joke that I'm hoping you heard in your head because it doesn't translate well over text.#Towmaytoe. Tahmahtow. Does that. Did I phonetically spell it out nice enough.

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
