I have just acquired the polish translation of Gideon the Ninth and 'Griddle' is translated to „Głupeon” which means 'Stupideon'

You cant make this shit up

[pencap]

put down the world, soldier mine. your body is strong, i know, but you are not granite. your shoulders were not made to bend so steep. your knees were not made to buckle so low. your bones were not made to hold so much. Atlas was a condemnation, not a guidebook on how to bear the weight of the world.

rest your wings, soldier mine. you were made to fly, i know, but not like this. the sun above is not meant to be your seduction. the ocean below is not meant to be your enemy. the jetstream is not meant to be your companion. Icarus was a warning, not a challenge to see how high you can soar.

lay down your weapons, soldier mine. you fight so well, i know, but not every battle is yours. your fists are not damned to be perpetual weapons. your scars are not damned to mark you in disgrace. your blood is not damned to spill upon a sword. Achilles was a tragedy, not an instruction manual on how to fight to your death.

soldier mine, you are not Atlas nor Icarus nor Achilles.

you are only you, soldier mine, and i am only yours, and we are only this here now.

I decided to make my own unraveled cover

so here’s what I changed:

A big problem I had with the unraveled cover is how different it was from the rest of the series. And I also wanted to consider that it SHOULD look different, however unlocked also looked different from the other covers yet unraveled looked completely different from unlocked as well. It just didn’t really fit with the rest of the series with the spacing and everything. So while my version is still different considering that unraveled will diverge from the rest of the series in its make up I still wanted to keep Keefe smaller and also wanted him to be the only one in the frame like Sophie on unlocked (other than silveny of course). I also wanted to make the cover have a color assigned to it like the other books so I chose grey. Another thing I didn’t like about the cover was all the random people. I didn’t really get the sense it was to show Keefe hiding with humans, I sorta just thought it was a way to not make Keefe’s stalker™️ stand out too much. I felt like the people were unimportant and crowded the image, and idk I just didn’t like the layout. Connected to this, I moved Keefe’s stalker™️ to the background, I thought the random shadow was even more unsettling if less obvious, idk if it was the first thing you saw but I was hoping it wouldn’t be😭

Still more problems I had with the cover was the lack of visible “magic” or fantasy things on it. Like, I know it doesn’t make sense for elf stuff to be there, but i think it should still be noticeable that this is a fantasy series, especially for new readers who might see unraveled in a bookstore. So I have Keefe a leaping crystal, please don’t blame me for how it looks I couldn’t find a reference so I used my imagination

AND I ADDED SOPHIE. I wanted Sophie to be on the cover, even if it’s just her hand. In my version I have Keefe shown on the spyglass, and yes, I know that in stellarlune that’s not how the spyglass worked, they ended up using it as like a shadow tracker or something but I had to make this work ok?? So yeah that hand is Sophie’s hand because she deserves to at least partly be on this cover.

Anyways I can’t draw buildings nor do I know crap about London so just… ignore or imagine ok?

I almost forgot I changed his shirt color because the first time I saw the cover I thought he wasn’t wearing a shirt under his jacket

world where pronouns/names are based on people’s roles

tons of cool medieval-style chapter illustrations by the author

mirai and shino are best friends, change my mind.

remembered that my shepard/spacer shep has a still alive mom in the alliance according to ME2/3

also remembered that that character (katrine/caia) always has a sister uninvolved in the family's career military history

remembering she had to mourn her elder sister who just Disappeared for two years, and would have spent even longer knowing shepard isn't alive bc their alliance mom probably can't just tell a civillian doctor,

tbh idgaf about whether alucard called integra count or countess bc how is integra holding "sir" title as legit as a male knight yet the same validity cant be apply to this situation if she was called a "count" ?? "hes regarding her as his equal" doesnt add up to me like im genuinely curious if u dont read it as somewhat romantic aligned how do u read it? one thing i noticed is that when it comes to reading between the lines sometimes we take a thing out of context and nitpick it and it doesnt seems fair, we have to put it in within the plot and among other details to read it too, and alucard already stated beforehanded that he regarded integra higher than himself or anyone else "i am a monster, regarding you, integra" he already stated how her will controls him, even major (yes i know hes an unreliable narrator but a broken clock is right at lease one time or something) said shes the authority alucard recognize. So the point that "he regards her as equal" contradicts what alucard said previously, and integra is his master, not his apprentice or servant to be recognized, unlike seras. Supposedly it was truth that he's claiming he recognize her as equal, wouldnt there be a better way to state it? "count and countess/count" cause confusion, and disrupt the intention if they were meant to be non romantic, Hirano wouldnt do things half way like that. And he had recognized her authority through BOTH actions and words before, wouldnt it break the smooth flow and insinuating atmosphere of the story by stating something that had been very efficiently shown between the line before by addressing it so crudely by spoken words. If "count and countess" solely means "platonic equal" i am sure there are LOTS more ways for it to be expressed without using such a complicated interaction, Hirano Kohtah is no amateur if he wanted to get a point across he would have done it.

i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it

To make my stance clear for my posts on here, this blog is stricly a spoilers yes leaks no zone.

His name is Caver..? All this time, I thought he was just Demon King... No. I refuse to acknowledge the fact that his name is not Demon King. What the hell.
