tears in my mizuena eyes

rough translation (my bad japanese + google translate lol)

mizuki: even so… is that really okay even for someone like me [to want to be friends / want to be with you]*…

ena: i told you, it’s not about whether it’s okay or not. that is something you get to decide for yourself.

ena: i’m sorry, i’m tired of running around…

mizuki: !!

ena: *falls to the ground*

mizuki: me too…

mizuki: even if it’s a bother, even if i hate it… i want to be together! i want to start feeling like it’s always okay to be together!

ena: then…

ena: let’s be together, mizuki… everyone in niigo is waiting for you.

*in the lines before this one, mizuki cries about wanting to still be with ena and niigo and be their friend, but now she won’t be able to be the kind of friend she wants to be (as she feels like a bother, for she fears they will have to walk on eggshells around her and people will talk etc.). the acting Floored me btw satohina how dare u…

Quackity: These past days I've been in many calls, and I'm not done yet. I've spoken to a lot of people and creators. I've read your comments and I'm well aware of what needs to be done to carry out this project. I want to tell you all, beforehand, that for me the team's well-being is fundamental. I'm very involved in this topic to sort it out and I want to make that very clear. I want to tell you something... I want to tell you all that the administrative staff responsible for so much harm to the project has been fired. Specifically, those who made decisions without my permission, affecting the administrative and financial area of the project. Consequently, after this, I was in charge of doing a financial analysis that's carrying out for the QSMP.

Guys, to be really honest, it was not going to last. Therefore, I've had to make deep drastic structural changes that have lead me to reduce the performance of the server down to the most essential, and this is in order to ensure the well being of everyone involved in it. Having said this, I want to give a very important update: I want to let you all know that the QSMP will have to slow down temporarily. This is to ensure this new structure adapts to the project, because it's a restructuring that's taking place. I'm letting you know, and I reiterate, there are no voluntary positions inside the QSMP.

At the moment, there will not be any more individual update accounts of all 5 existing languages in the project. In any case, during this transition, there's going to be a temporal absence of all Eggs and NPCs. I know these are difficult changes, and I repeat, it's temporary until we adjust to these new conditions that will improve the performance of this new structure that's being made from scratch, both in the administrative and financial part. I'd like to reintegrate people fro the QSMP as time goes by if a financial viability can be found for the project Taking advantage of this update to tell you guys that within the changes of the server as it is, creators will have full control of their lore and stories. The team will not intervene in the way that it was being done. Moreover, efforts will be made to change the competitive dynamics inside the game so as to ease up the game style for the creators. Like I'm saying, all of these changes, and more, are being carrying out to have the project as best as possible, and they're being done little by little. This is a whole new structure that will ensure the best continuity and experience for the creators, the community and the team behind.

Guys, I want to make very clear that this is restructuring process, and again, it's not a fast one. The server being open does not mean everything's perfect, I understand that very well. Conversations will keep taking place, communication will continue and the constant improvement of the project as well. I ask, please, for everyone's patience and understanding regarding all changes. Please do wait for official announcements since a lot of incomplete and incorrect information is being spread. I want to tell you all something- if you don't trust in these changes or have many doubts about it, and don't want to consume any more of the project's content, I understand 100%. I have a personal commitment with the QSMP and I will work until it functions in the way it is supposed to do.

Lastly, I want to let you know that it was being worked on for months on finalizing the integration of Korean creators to the QSMP. For that reason, tomorrow we will be welcoming the new Korean creators of the QSMP, of course, taking into account all the changes I've just mentioned. I hope you can give the new Korean members warm welcome to the project. And as you know, their schedules are earlier. For everyone who would like to watch, they will be joining at 11am Mexico time and at 9am US time. Basically, I wanted to give that update regarding everything that's being done within the project. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding- these are necessary changes and I'm glad they're being done now. And many more things will keep being adjusted.

one thing i think is very funny about severance is them redoing famous paintings to fit into their whole founder cult thing.

like them stealing the pose from “Wanderer Above a Sea Of Mist” . Also Irving and the O&D guy having an almost…… obvious reaction to the ‘sublime’ (as in they found it beautiful but terrifying) which was a big theme of Caspar David Friedrich’s art and especiqlly evident in this piece. but also it is unlike Friedrich’s work because it turns his rükenfigur (a figure facing away from the viewer which is also a recurring theme in his works) into a figure that Does indeed look back at you.

German Romanticism was also very focused on finding God in nature (it was a kind of attempt at reigniting christian religious fervor) so its apt to include it in the way that Lumon’s whole deal seems to draw very heavily from christianity.

No idea if the background is taken from somewhere else (they look like the great lakes to me?) I just really love Caspar David Friedrich.

also the mussolini facade vs that big relief sculpture. maybe theres a better analogue but this was my first thought.

anyways I think its fun in the way that the symbolism is kinda heavy handed lol. Or maybe I only feel that way as an art history student idk. But I do enjoy when a show can give me a little of that kind of reference …… IF they do it well.

also disclaimer: I am only on season 1 episode episode 5 as of this post! Please do not discuss beyond that episode with me until I catch up thanks <3

TRIPLE ZERO: HOMELINE TRANSCRIPTION, TRANSLATIONS & AUDIO

サンダルフォン「無様でも不格好でも、俺はこの空を守り抜く。かつでルシフェル様がそうしたように、今度は俺が…！」 Sandalphon: "I may stumble, I may fall, but I will continue to protect these skies. Just as Lucifer once did before me, now it's my turn to…!" ルシファー「不用品ふぜいだ、天使長の真似事か。もはや滑稽だな。羽を増やしたところで、お前にルシフェルの代替は不可能だ。」 Lucilius: "Nothing more than disposable, you're a cheap imitation of a Supreme Primarch. I've already had enough of this farce. You may have gained yourself some more wings, but it remains impossible for the likes of you to succeed Lucifer." サンダルフォン「そんなことは分かっている。俺は、俺自身の願いの為に戦うんだ。この空で皆と共に生き続ける為に！」 Sandalphon: "I know that better than anyone. I'm here to fight for my own sake, for my own wish. To continue life with everyone under the same sky!"

サンダルフォン「俺の全てをかけて、終わらせはしない！皆と共に生きるこの空を…!」 Sandalphon: "I will give everything I have, I won't let these skies fall to ruin! To protect the skies and everyone here with me, I will…!"

ルシファー「空を守るなどという願いも、所詮は神のホメオスタシスの一環にすぎん。神も空も全て俺が終わらせてやる。 Lucilius: "You go on about your wishes and protecting the skies, yet in the end this is no more than a small part of God's plan for homeostasis. Everything will fall by my hand. Gods, the skies, all of it."

Could u share a fav quote from beso de la mujer araña? Yo lo leí este verano bcos of ur rec and I really loved it. Esp the comedy in the dialogue and the tenderness of their friendship :’-) I also remember gasping out loud at some of the twists and at how their relationship developed. It’s an incredible book 😢 lo podría leer un millón de veces creo

ough i don't have an catch-all favorite quote from the book bc i'm pretentious and i don't really like the type of quotes that look good out of context. and moreso in a book that's only dialogue and not even prosey. But i'm always thinking about Valentíns definition of manhood

it's not the only time it comes up- so does Molina's definition of manhood, and both their ideas of womanhood and all that. It's a book that's very much About Gender. But this one part is so good at conveying a lot about Valentín that even translations or other adaptations get wrong about him! Mischaracterizing him as overtly aggressive and imposing and questioning of Molina's femininity and such... And like. Of course he's a communist and that directly ties into his ideas of gender

And obviously the title drop

And the entirety of the last half of the last chapter but i'm not posting all that. Book of all time etc

Gris: i love you baby

Guaxinim: Te amo, te amo, I love you, baby! I love you. You are the most precious little darling your papai has. [He hugs her] I loved the recommendation, I'm going to add this to my playlist. It's really good. [Continues humming and singing along to the song] "Can't take my eyes off of you~"

Gris: very good :>

i'll be like "i'm a god of writing" and then an hour passes after i post or submit something and i'll be like "i'm so dumb there's so much i could've done better if only i'd waited a bit and looked at it with fresh eyes i would've noticed how much it sucks & what i could've improved that looks so much like first draft material there's so many revisions i could make why i am i so impulsive and overconfident" and then i'll start writing something else and be like "i'm a god of writing" again

I used to think that there could not be a better way to insult Wilde by not reading The Picture of Dorian Gray than the brazilian publishing company that decided to put a picture of Wilde as their cover (till there fine) except to inovate they framed Wilde's pic as the fucked up portrait... I stand corrected by Netflix deciding that it was time to remind people that just cause CW is dead it doesn't mean people that worked for CW are dead and hiring arrowverse ppl to ruin a great book.
