Why do you think Swordmachines head is so long. I think he has some sort of sharpening device in there.

More space to kiss. Hope this helps!

So, why do some people who love Crimson Flower always go on about how the English translation is pure evil? Because they always say that "oh, Treehouse hated Edelgard," but they never do a side-by-side comparison of why the English translaton is significantly more pro-Dimitri and anti-Edelgard (notice who they leave out in that) than the Japanese script.

From what I've seen, it seems to come from early fandom interpretations of 3H saying that it was "mistranslated to make Edelgard look worse" that came from people who, uh. Primarily didn't actually speak Japanese, or otherwise had a fairly severe misunderstanding of it.

You'll see this with pretty much every big-name event that is claimed to have been "mistranslated" in general. The AM parley, the Continue To Kill no u, Faerghus Toxic Masculinity, and "the Dream Interview calls her an antagonist not a villain" are the Big 4 of this thing happening, and all four of them have been thoroughly debunked as nonsense by people who actually speak and understand Japanese. That's probably why the actual MAJORITY of events that get the "this was mistranslated to make Edelgard look worse" card don't actually have that side-by-side comparison you mention (since there's WAY more smaller things that they say this about, for example Dimitri was TOTALLY JOKING with Edelgard during Gronder 1 and TOTALLY WASN'T freaked the fuck out at her "jokes"), because the people who claim this are 0-4 on being correct about this for four of the most important examples of this supposedly happening.

So they'll kinda just say anything is Totally A Mistranslation in the hopes that the English-speaking fandom who for the most part don't speak Japanese will believe them, and through that believe them on what the game is "actually" trying to say. With that being, of course, that Edelgard was completely and utterly right about literally actually factually every single thing she has ever said in the game ever and literally actually factually every single other person who disagrees with her is completely and utterly wrong (unless what they're saying is, of course, in alignment with what Edelgard is saying).

And if anyone who actually knows what they're talking about comes in and corrects them - even nicely! - they'll either go on about how everyone is coming after them (read: people who understand Japanese are correcting someone who doesn't understand Japanese about something that exclusively revolves around understanding Japanese), or they'll accuse that person of being a liar/sexist/homophobic POS who just wants the poor little gay bean that is Edelgard to be pure and utter evil since they totally view all gay women to be pure and utter evil.

All this, from what I can gather, is mostly to serve as a justification as to why they like Edelgard since they view liking her as a villain to be a genuine mark of bad character, for some reason. They want to believe that she's the progressive figure who does everything for the little guy for one reason or another, and so grab for any excuse they can give her they can think of to make their interpretation of her not seem so unfounded against all of the evidence Edelgard provides the player that she really is just an imperialist who doesn't really give a shit about her people if doing so gives even the slightest bump to her goal of forceful unification. All because daring to like villains is just soooo baaaaad lmao

How do you write so good!! Can you give any advice

So I'm trying to think of writing advice, I really am, but I'm kind of drawing up a blank aside from... write. Like there's all these writing advice posts across Tumblr and half of them are bullshit (either completely or just because they're only relevant to certain people/writing styles) and the other half has all already been said but it all comes back to just... writing. The more you write the better you get at it, and especially the more you SHARE it the better you'll get. I write... a lot, and that's the only way you get better at a skill like that, but I can't pretend my commenters aren't part of it because like, when they're commenting on how I changed the sentence structure to match the moment or something and it's already something I did... it's not a conscious change I made, you know? It just felt right, but they were able to articulate why it felt right and that helps me be more aware of using that as a technique in the future. So write and post fanfic, I guess is the advice XD

What's your writing process like?

I'm given a task I simply Do Not want to do and so I procrastinate by writing for 8 hours straight

I have been following you because of Essek and I just found out that you've drawn Starscream in the past! I didn't know you were into the IDW Transformers comics. A little shook that we share more than one interest and favourite character (is he your favourite?) lol 😂

Oh Starscream has been blorbo since I watched Armada as a 11 year old. I read the IDW comics much later and really enjoyed them. Loved MTME the most! Not into any of the new animations cuz they are too childish for me (that's fine though, I'm just not the target audience), although I enjoyed Animated as a kid. I think I had a crush on Blackarachnia in Animated, but I wasn't aware of my homosexual tendencies yet back then lmAO.... I think Starscream's femme clone (was it Slipstream??) also made me feel things... 😳.

My fav bots are probably uuuuh Starscream, Whirl, Cyclonus, Thundercracker, Chromia, Rodimus, Tarn and uuuuh probably a bunch of others that I can't think of at the moment. I hope the new reboot will be good cuz I really really really couldn't get into IDW2... It felt so odd lore-wise and unemotional... 🫣 The art was pretty tho!

When did you start liking anime and manga?

I watched stuff when I was really little!! I can't rlly pinpoint a year or age! My auntie is 6 years older than me and she was rlly into things like that and my dad liked to show us stuff from shows he watched in the 80s!

I started reading manga however in 2016!! I'm not the most avid reader so I preferred watching things ove reading!

🛩️🥀🖌️

🛩 - If travelling was free, where’s the first place you’d go?

~Japan! I've always wanted to go to Japan, the culture is so fascinating to me- and I don't mean just anime.

🥀 - Favourite animated movie?

~Hmm, this is a tough one! I've seen so many good animated movies, but if I had to pick just one of my favorites I guess I'll go with Atlantis: The Lost Empire by Disney

🖌 - Do you have/want any tattoos?

~I don't have any yet, but I do want to get tattoos! I even have my first one drawn and I know where I want to get it, I just need to find a good artist and save up the money for it.

[the-eclectic-wonderer]

I just wanna say it's always fine to take your time and I think I speak for the people when I say I'm happy to wait for your thoughts and analysis, especially on stuff like this.

Oh, this is very sweet, thank you! I’m always so excited to talk with you (and everyone in this little fandom space!! I love reading everyone’s thoughts!!!), so I always try to answer asks and notes as soon as possible — and then I get guilty when I can’t 😅

But that’s a *me* problem!! I always encourage people to take the time they need to answer & post stuff, so… why shouldn’t the rule work for me too? I’ll try to work on it — and I hope you’ll be patient with me if I keep apologising about this stuff!

Zelda art does seems complicated to draw (armor and outfit design)

some of the armor, outfits, vibe, the fact that the fandom is so very big which makes it a bit intimidating, as shitty as it sounds also that there’s a good chance it’ll just get ignored because of it, and if you try doing anything even halfway original (or hell, regular CANON crossover stuff) that there’s a base 10% chance someone’a gonna tag it with a completely different person’s work, which is also pretty disheartening.

And on top of all that Zelda fandom rn feeling a bit…off anyways. Idk if it’s the new fans coming from the switch games, fatique of only seeing it all the time of older fans, a combo of both, a shift in fandoms in general, but. Zelda fandom vibes are weird rn.
