Bro, that Jack & Joker episode. Somebody needs to calm me down because I'm about to lose it.

Why are straight girls always out here saying and doing the gayest shit? One of my closest friends just demanded that I FaceTime her because we haven’t talked in a few days, and she wanted to see what my room looked like even though she was just over here last week.

And when I said “why the hell did you want to FaceTime” she goes “because I missed seeing your face”….and then proceeded to show me what she wanted to wear on that night for a party.

Like…..every day when I’m about to give up on being gay something like this happens

What is lando playing at 🙄

[fragrantpines]

(Long rant below. Contains minor spoilers for upcoming food souls.)

One thing that constantly frustrates me is trying to translate chinese nicknames for the food men into English.

One of the most recent examples is Yusheng aka Shunde Raw Fish. As read from the name, the original dish is a fish dish so the name Yusheng (俞生：yú shēng) name is a play on the word chinese word fish (鱼: yú). You can see this in many current and upcoming food souls such as Taibai Duck (太白鸭：tài bái yā) aka Baiya (白琊: bái yá), Stuffed Carp aka （三鲜脱骨鱼：sān xiān tuō gǔ yú） aka Ah Yu (阿喻: ā yù）, Yangzhou Fried Rice (扬州炒饭：yáng zhōu chǎo fàn）aka Yangzhou （扬舟: yáng zhōu)

Directly translating these names isn't an issue unless the food soul's name has special meaning to it. For example, Meng Po Soup's "mortal name" is 无情 (wú qíng) which directly translates to "no emotions". He's called that because of the spirits who come and see him, all describing him as a heartless person who doesn't care about other people's feeling. His mother Meng Po doesn't like the origin of this name so she calls him 阿情 (ā qíng) as removing the 无 also removes the connotation of Meng Po Soup not having any feelings. It shows how much she adores him and loves him as a son... except both names would be hard to carry over to English while retaining their original meaning. Directly translating it to Wu Qing and Ah Qing will lose the name's meaning to global audience.

(That's part of the reason why in this fic, I translated 无情 to Heartless as it keeps the original meaning. By translating it to this, Meng Po can call him as Sweetheart to keep that sense of familial bond and endearment she has for him.)

Meaning is one thing, trying to keep the formality and closeness in a name is another thing. For example, Buddha's Temptation is often referred to as 福公 （fú gōng）in game and by fans alike. The 福 in his name means prosperity and 公 is used to refer to gentlemen with high status or look like nobility, giving off the impression that he is someone worthy of respect which he is. Other than translating it directly, one way to translate it is "Lord Prosperity" but that sounds way too formal. Another way is "Mister Prosperity" or "Sir Fu" but that doesn't give off the vibes as the original name hnggggg

Why is language so hard

[oh-snapperss]

they'll fund a genocide and let their poor regions be destroyed. don't fucking forgive them for that.

my hometown is completely gone from what pictures i can find of it, i have not heard from my family (including aunts, uncles, parents, one sibling, and a grandparent), and the infrastructure in the mountain communities is wiped out. i cannot stress how catastrophic this is, or how difficult it will be for these communities to build back. i am angry, and scared, and heartbroken by everything that's happened.

and our government is spending it's money to fund a genocide.

free palestine, and don't be complicit. realize that this is not something happening that doesn't affect you--although it shouldn't take this to care about the deaths of thousands of people anyway.
