Aright pals it's time; I've grinded out all alien treasures to 100% and now I can fight Awakened Bahamut

Here's the lineup (does anybody care about this part? I do), we have our meatshields: Mohawk (lvl. 30), Eraser (lvl. 34), Crazed Macho (lvl. 20), and Crazed Tank (lvl. 20); for our status babes we have Neo Psycho (lvl. 35) and Seafarer (lvl. 30); then for our damage dealers, I'm running Manic Macho Legs (lvl. 20), Fishman (lvl. 30), Crazed Dragon (lvl. 20), and finally: the most beautiful boy to have ever, Shingen (lvl. 29)

Alright starting out strong we killed the Celeboodles and all of the alien peons are dying swiftly

You know what? People shouldn't feel bad about liking things in fandom, or creating things that make them happy. I'm absolutely vagueposting, but this really isn't about one post, it's about a tone I've noticed popping up again lately from multiple people (including people I follow and generally respect!)

-"They absolutely cannot fuck! So crazy people would think about that and be into it, it would break canon! "

-"Mod AU doesn't work, they're Serious Characters they aren't gonna run a coffee shop its OOC! "

-"Actually, fun fluffy fic about them at all during a certain era doesn't work!"

I get it. I agree with a fair part of it. People post all kinds of asinine shit that I hate actually. But you know where I bitch about it? Privately in group chat.

Let people fucking have fun. I get the sense that many people come to this fandom specifically because it's Serious and Challenging and you want to Do Serious Analysis. I think a lot of folks around these parts either are in school and not having a good time about it, or wish that they had gone into better academia that doesn't really exist, and they're getting that need met here. And that's great! For real!

But you know what else is fine? People who either don't have that need, or are getting it met in other parts of their lives, and come here for stress relief and a fun free hobby.

Of course they can't fuck for real! It's not in the text, they simply don't. But the tension is obviously written in, and playing with possibilities can be fun! Also if you can't see how it could happen and still not fix shit, that's a skill issue. Fic authors aren't stupid, we don't fail to understand canon, but not everything has to be everything all the time. Sometimes you want to do all the work and try to match the level of writing in the show, and sometimes you want to have something nice and easy. The show is REALLY well written and what it needs to be, the point of transformative works is playing with what it's NOT. Some people cope with fluff, or good ending everybody lives AUs, and it might be so totally valid to look down on that, but maybe being publicly correct might be less important than being kind?

Actually, the main thing I want to say is that if YOU reading this are a person who wants to write a cute coffeeshop AU, or be horny on main about your boys kissing, it's actually fine!! At least, it historically has been fine. This is a really small fandom now and not that many people are actively creating, please don't be discouraged by this stuff, because the people who criticize on tumblr are actually not the majority. The REASON they criticize is that, if you go to AO3 and sort by kudos, much of it is this super sweet OOC stuff! It looks like that's most of what there is, because a lot of readers in the wild who watch the show and look up fic like it!

Anyway. Let people have fun, it doesn't cost you anything, and not every thought needs to be public. It actually does discourage people.

The Spanish translation was really wild for this one 💀

Fun fact: Lout of Count's Family is on Webtoon for free!...But only in Spanish

Some tidbits about the Spanish translation:

"Kail Henitus" END ME IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, EVEN IF YOU WANT SPANISH SPEAKERS TO PRONOUNCE HIS NAME AS INTENDED, WHAT'S NEXT, A L B E R T O?

Has spelled Lock's name as: Rak, Lak, and Lock (Get it together, Webtoon)

The official title translation is Trash of the Count's Family, unlike the English's "Lout" (That's neat, actually)

They reversed the name order for Korean names, so it's Choi Han → Han Choi, Kim Roksu → Roksu Kim

They initially went with Choi Han calling Cale just "Cale", but after a while, they switched it to "Lord Cale" (Don't know if they listened to the comments section for this one, I saw a lot of complaining when they chose to leave it as just Cale)

Alberu's name is *drum rolls* ...Alberu, we've been granted this mercy, at least

Some of the SFX translations are SO FUNNY, I don't know how they compare to the KR version, but at least I know they're different from the English version, I personally really like them, they add trashiness to Cale's behavior

My favorites (I put some explanations in the alternative text):

one of the best parts of ao3 comment sections is that if you try hard enough you can turn them into a book club
