#figuring out how i'll try translating this...
Text
(wip) a comic about a haircut im procrastinating
#undescribed#my art#my comic#secret modern au#this is nearly word for (translated and slightly adjusted) word conversation i had with my dad.#working on the modern au i was still trying to figure out how to go about sanji's transness. then one day i had a#meltdown where this convo happened and i thought it was kind of fascinating how even though the context is different. the meaning of the#words too it's still very much the exact same 'i can't be how i want and i hate it' the difference is sanji doesn't understand why#he feels this way. it's a 'had a breakdown. bon appétit' kind of comic tbh idk if i'll get around finishing it#but it helped me figure out this version of sanji.#i need to go cut my hair

Happy summer, everybody!
This has been a big project to take and while there's stuff to improve I'm pretty happy with it. Be sure to zoom in the big picture for details and read the comic from left to right. (Needless to say, please don't try A.B.A's behaviour.. For your safety)
Bonus doodle:
#a.b.a#paracelsus#slayer#guilty gear#I almost forgot slayer's shirt pattern! I was also supposed to draw his cape floating over sharon to shield her from the sun but...#this whole drawing collection took roughly a month to complete and I forgot. I'm too tired right now#speaking of. it's my first time drawing sharon I hope she's okay!#yes slayer carries and wears in the nose his 200 spf sunscreen from xrds treasure hunt animation :)#as for the big main picture. it left me quite exhausted and I know the lighting leaves a lot to be desired but I'm proud! learnt a lot#first time drawing blue para too. I hope his metallic sheen is alright#more than aba's skin sheen for sure. I'll improve it in the future! btw tweaked a bit her attire's palette from last time and made her keep#the headband cause trying to figure out how her hair would properly fall was a hassle lmao#fun fact: the bird is an european herring gull#the crab is an edible crab and the palm trees are coconut palm trees with no fruit lol#I wanted to draw fan palms which are a kind of palm tree that deserves more love but the leaf shape was so difficult to draw#I did struggle a lot with these two.. they look more like feathers but again. that can be studied and improved in the future#despite all the lows summertime can have for me whenever it's a nice day and we can go to the beach I feel everything is worth it and will#be okay. hope I could translate that here. hi new people I tend to ramble a lot in my post tags#art tag2b named#sharon

Why the fuck are people on Twitter upset about nonbinary robots. Transformers are aliens, why would they follow another species gender binary based on reproduction when they don't even reproduce sexually. If anything, ALL the robots should use they/them.
#liz blogs#transformers#i need to finish earthspark#conservatives won't survive when aliens come to earth#imagine going to another planet and trying to translate pronouns#but either theres more than two or theyre not based on reproduction#how do you figure out if youre a glerp or a blongo or a dee when you dont even have a yundle#and guess what else. if the robots all have one gender. and they use different Earth Pronouns#that dont line up with - in conservative terms - the pronouns they Should have#guess what. all the robots are trans now.#this is probably fucking incoherent i just woke up but man i hate when people think the universe revolves around humans#smash the gender binary to pieces#i write this from an angle to shit on their stupid argument i know nonbinary people can use gendered pronouns as well#the point is its hard to translate. frankly we also deserve big macho bots picking she her because it sounds nice#and little femmebots picking he him because it sounds cool and they want to seem Tough in earth terms#hasbro hire me i love robots and I'll write a transformers show so good it'll make conservatives literally explode

I was trying to find some simple fun things to doodle and my friend basically suggested I doodle the current special interests together and that’s how the sluggies have been splooned and i’m,,,,really liking it actually sksksksksks
i’m gonna design the rest. maybe even have this as a dumbass au. it’s not the first time i’ve mixed franchises together that don’t make sense (stares at a moth in hisui)
#rain world#splatoon#doodles#rw survivor#rw monk#rw gourmand#rain world gijinka#gijinka#inkling#octoling#rip their silly slugcat ears and tail. get ink fish’d idiot-#brain has been going ‘yo think of a general idea for them too actually’ why are you like this brain#anyway get ready for artificer agent 4. hunter captain 3. spearmaster agent 8-#monk neo agent 3-#listen. this is gonna get silly#i also solidified my splatoon art style yipee!!#i also probably won't replace the idols. i'll figure out whatever i want to do with the iterators#also can't decide how i wanna go about arti's kids. i could easily be so mean...#its fun trying to translate stuff especially the hairstyles!#squids and octos have limited tenticles so its really fun to work out how to make it work whilst resembling the gijinka designs#there is gonna be more of this no there is no escape

a large amount of time I've been spending on -untitled undefined scope original fiction project- since the last time I posted about it has been trying to develop the protagonist concept I came up with last summer or whatever into like, a character that would feel real and era appropriate.
it's fun research to do. naturally a lot of the details I assigned to her are things that I already think are cool, so it's been a lot of fun trying to trace her traits back through the relatively recent past, getting reminded of how much things have changed, or where the gaps in my intuition are, and then doing a flurry of reading to get a sense for exactly how someone like her and the people around her could have happened and what her life was probably like leading up to her present day. hopefully this results in some good good verisimilitude.
#I wrote a short story from her perspective over the holidays and then didn't know how to continue it#and then I got distracted by real life stuff for a few months#I forget if I posted about that#and then I've been picking through archive dot org for the last few weeks looking at this stuff#the last big rabbit hole was trying to get a better feel for era appropriate ts/tv subculture#the current one I'm looking at is how she would've gotten into language learning and how that would've worked#nettle has been prodding me about the setting thing lately so I've been thinking about that more too#probably the biggest hurdle by far is figuring out how I want to play that#and how I want the thing to be divided up#since the original coc scenario I'm developing this out of is centered on a flight from LA to honolulu#and the airport dungeon was definitely meant to be a hook for a larger campaign#some amount of it is going to cover protag lady's failed life in LA and some of it is going to be worse things happening in hawaii#but it's like. how much do I want to balance it one way or the other#and realistically how much does the aesthetics of 20th century air travel add to the story#besides me personally thinking it's compelling ofc#a lot of what I find compelling about hawaii is that it's an east/west cultural crossroads and realistically that's also true of socal#and I can wax poetic about socal as much as I want without worrying all that much about mishandling something#and there's also a lot of socal specific history along similar parallels to pull from that I'm more familiar with#I guess it comes down to whether curiosity re: 'doing it right' is enough of a motivator to do the increased amount of research#which I guess it has so far with the above character details. so hopefully that will continue#but it also feels like using machine translation a bit yknow. it's hard to know how effectively I'll be able to sanity check#although depending on where this goes I might be able to get other people involved to sensitivity read down the line#with most of the creative things I do I just have a tendency to always rely really heavily on figuring things out myself#I also want protag lady to have a Cool Car and idk how to get that from point a to point b narratively#this is like an entire second or third post's worth of tags but I don't feel like unfucking this so whatever. suffer. I guess.

"the lack of UO fanart of my favorite characters who I am So Normal about is fine, bc I can make my own," I say to myself as I proceed to repeatedly forget to factor wings as a piece of anatomy into the composition multiple times
#I never figured out a good way to stylize bird wings and you are not going to believe what these characters have on their backs#''but you can just copy the art stylization from the official art'' I promise I am trying I have no idea how to draw feathers#like I can draw them but I can't Draw Them In My Style#getting every part of an art piece to look like the same style for me is such a struggle sometimes#anyhow using Actual Real Life Bird Wing Anatomy as a ref and trying to translate it to a slightly abstracted style is hmm...#not something anyone got taught in art school where realism rules as king that's for sure#(I am doing fine I'm just complaining about art to distract myself from body aches)#anyhow I managed to somehow fuse a horse and a deer into a Passable unicorn so I think I'll call it good for tonight#oracle of lore

really bummed that there's no english equivalent that encompasses the vibes of "shixiong/shijie" or "xuezhang/xuejie"
#trying to speed-translate an interview rn#i'm not like a die-hard fan of this guy but#i am kinda excited that i'll be in vicinity of a pop star for the next few days#now to figure out how to introduce him to the eng speaking world...#beanstalks

my god. help my soul
#<-hes confused about the conjugated form of «a loro»#i wonder if theres a way to know whether its gli or li.#conjugated form? is that how one would say it? i dont know. you understand#ahem. its very fun but i am having trouble with remembering them all#oh and - i wonder which way of saying it is more common?#for example- when saying a sentence like ''io vedo a te''‚ would one prefer to say «ti vedo» or «vederti»? its interesting to think about#im sure i'll figure it out once i start to consume italian media yet but i can't begin that for now because i am a little guy#<-knows nothing when compared to fluidity in a language#i did attempt to bite at a conversation in italian with this one language-practice chatbot but it was immediately clear i had nowhere -#- near enough vocabulary.#oh - nor do i know enough tenses of time! just one.#i'd suppose it's the present tense but i've seen it used in... god does it have an english version?#looked it up on google translate - no‚ the word i know for it is only in turkish#theres a difference between present tense and general(?) tense.#ah i suppose it makes sense that its similiar to english on that front then.#one thing i realised was all the patterns i noticed. very frustrating to not know their purposes though#for example - one of the phrases it used was «parlare» conjugated as «parleggi»‚ which doesn't give a difference in google translate#but is surely something different than just present tense!#along with «piacere» conjugated as «piacerebbe» which i have no clue what it does for now.#im trying not to jump ahead of my current skill level and take it slow by learning it all in the order of the book im using#but its all so interesting! i need to learn all of it Now. please#the book im using hasn't even gotten to «essere» and its conjugations yet! i only know sono sei è et cetera because of duolingo.#which - ohh‚ hang on. thats interesting.#duolingo teaches through english and this book teaches through turkish!#turkish has no equivelant of essere‚ but english does with am/is/are! thats fascinating.#♚ — rambling !

valkyrie's newest song (迷宮電子回廊) is GREAT because the video reminds me of persona 4 (the stacked tvs) and the choir with the bells occasionally tolling remind me of bloodborne. it's like a special mashup of some of my favorite hyperfixations :3
#ensemble stars#enstars#valkyrie#meikyuu denshi kairou#persona 4#bloodborne#the flickering and eye strain later on in the video also remind me of something#but i haven't been able to place my finger on what that is just yet#also i finally figured out how to read the kanji by watching a lyric video translated into korean#and looking at the fucking. hangul version of the english romanization of japanese words and PIECING IT TOGETHER THAT WAY#the hoops i had to jump through to figure that out#i was like 'okay i'll try to figure out how to read the kanji like this!'#and i looked at the hangul and its relative placement to the japanese and was like#okay! so 메이규우 is the 迷宮 part. got it.#가이로우 is the 回廊 part which are. the last two kanji in the title#and then i had to wait until shu's first solo line in the song to find 덴시 which is the 電子 part of the title -- THE MIDDLE TWO KANJI#um. big brain moment???? at least i finally figured it out. i will probably never forget this moment#also. it's 카이로우 not what i originally put down three tags ago LOL

ghhh... got lost under mexican cooking tutorials...
#they look so yummy....#i've never cooked mexican food so im not very familiar with how it works#like when i cook from scratch it's often japanese food (and sometimes chinese) so im familiar with those condiments/seasonings#and techniques and such#so you could leave me without a recipe and i'd be able to make something decent#i mean im not like super SUPER familiar with it but that's because i dont cook often enough for that. but as far as cooking familiarity goe#japanese is what i'm most familiar with#cannot say the same about mexican#i want to try out some mexican recipes#and also do some more of the chinese ones#also like middle eastern cooking.#also i'd like to figure out how to cook vietnamese food that doesn't just taste like fish sauce#i'll use like a QUARTER of the fish sauce a recipe says. and i can still. only. taste. fish sauce.#and everything smells like it too.#idk how vietnamese places manage to not get that to happen#unityrain.txt#tw food#also. i am very into finding authentic/traditional recipes for things. which is not at all how my mom would do it lol#if i wanted a recipe for dumplings i would either take my time to find chinese cooking blogs and read the “about” section#or find cooking tiktoks/videos where the grandma is helping and cannot speak any english so the granddaughter translates#and then compare like recipes from multiple places#but my mom would just. go to the first mommy blog that comes up where the suburban mom of three running it's entire asian seasoning#consists of soy sauce garlic ginger power and a fuck ton of cornstarch#needless to say. “”ethnic“” dishes my mom would find did NOT taste great.

I have wondered why people choose specific songs that don't fully match a story for edits before but Ooh now I Get it
#How do I make this about my show#If there is two lines in there I'll do it#In my mind. Lots of respect for actual editors I love you#But also choosing to believe that the reason I have done that first part less recently is because people make excellent song choices#Also sometimes a song just has vibes I get it#You know how it's going when you're trying to figure out if and how you'd translate a certain lyric for your hypothetical edit#That you don't actually plan on making

#akudama drive#I was talking to my mom about ordering a disk and she was all 'oh I bet it'll be all scratched up and you'll have to pay a million to return#but there's no scratches on this thing it looks to be in perfect condition#it'll take me a while to figure out how to rip it#and then assuming that works out well#I'll try and get some auto translated subs made before I upload#I'll most likely make a torrent on nyaasi#but depending on the file size (I can do a certain amount of compression if needed)#I could get a ddl made for those who can't torrent#cause I know we've got one German fan (hey Keith)#and I know that torrenting is a whole issue over there#anyways though. totk has arrived too so I'll be playing that first 😈😈😈

The Night Ravens - 「Piece of my World」
The very first official soundtrack for Twisted Wonderland just released today, and one of the tracks included was the long-awaited full version of the opening theme, "Piece of my World". I took a crack at translating it, which you can view after the cut!
聞こえるだろう 扉の向こう
キミを待ってる 行こうぜ Wonderland!
You hear it, don't you?
What's there beyond the door
is waiting for you
Let's go to Wonderland!
ドキドキいつも欲しいんだ
[さあ 合図して]
I'm always on the hunt for an adrenaline rush
[Now give me the signal]
瞬きなんてしちゃダメさ
[魔法は始まるよ]
Don't even blink
[The magic's just beginning]
AH AH
誰もがそうさ 負けられない
[月が煽る]
I know people say it all the time, but I'm not going to lose
[The moon's urging us on]
尖る靴音鳴らしていこう ほら
夜が明ける前に
Let the sharp clang of your footsteps resound
Come on, before day breaks
手探りだね 僕のカタチ
貫く熱は在るのに
I'm fumbling around, still trying to figure out who I am
I know I can keep pushing on, and yet-
ねじれた リズムで踊ろう
俯き張る 意地も愛嬌さ
かまわないよ ちょっとワルいくらいがいいじゃない？
刺激は僕であるためのピース
闇の中魅せてあげるよ イカした世界を
Let's dance to this twisted rythym
The way you hang your head, acting all stubborn, there's a certain charm to it
Don't worry. There's nothing wrong with being a little bad, you know?
The thrill of it all makes me who I am, it's a piece of me
Here within the darkness, I'll captivate the entire world
覗いてみて 扉の向こう
キミを待ってる 行こうぜ Wonderland!
Go ahead, take a look
What's there beyond the door
is waiting for you
Let's go to Wonderland!
時計の針が滑り出す
「さあもっと上げて」
The clock inches ever forward
[Now turn it up even more]
逸つ靴音 弾ける鼓動 ほら
誰よりも前へ
Your piercing footsteps, this throbbing beat
Surpass everyone and everything
描いていた 僕のカタチ
歪さも気に入ってるのに
The concept of myself I've come up with
I adore how distorted it is, and yet-
ねじれた世界で歌おう
ざわめく胸の熱はほんとうさ
シラけちゃうジョーシキ破り捨てていいんじゃない？
スリルは僕らが輝くピース
闇の中 見つけ出せるさ 繋がる答えを
Let's sing together in this twisted world
This warmth stirring deep in my chest, I know it's real
I'm sick and tired of these societal rules
So why don't we just rip them up and throw them all away?
The thrills we seek become part of us - look at how they shine
It's here within the darkness that we're able to find
the answer that connects us all
夜が分かつ時 超えてゆけるだろう
[ねじれた世界が導く…]
When the night drives us apart, I'm sure we'll get through it
[Guided by this twisted world…]
僕だけの運命が 拒めないように
So that I won't be denied my destiny
溢れだす魔法飲み干し
痛み苛立ちが邪魔をしても
かまわないよ 全部 手に入れて見せるさ
I'll drink up this overflowing magic until there isn't a single drop left
No amount of pain, no amount of frustration will stop me
The world will be mine, just you watch
ねじれたリズムで踊ろう
俯き張る 意地も愛嬌さ
かまわないよ ちょっとワルいくらいがいいじゃない？
刺激は僕であるためのピース
闇の中魅せてあげるよ イカした世界を
Let's dance to this twisted rhythm
The way you hang your head, acting all stubborn, there's a certain charm to it
Don't worry. There's nothing wrong with being a little bad, you know?
The thrill of it all makes me who I am, it's a piece of me
Here within the darkness, I'll captivate the entire world
覗いてみて扉の向こう
キミの中へ繋ぐWonderland!
Go ahead, take a look
There beyond the door
connecting to your heart
lies Wonderland!
A-ha
NaNaNa…
Yeah--
Come along Wonderland!
TL Notes: This is not a 1-to-1 translation, and I took creative liberties with it :)
And many thanks to my friend Yuurei-san for helping me parse through this!!
