#im dabbling in translating lyrics

[wanjeon-nae-style]

네가 보고 있는 작은 점은

수만 년 전에 너에게 보낸 나의

빛이 바랜 채로 죽어가는

모든 비밀을 담은 신호야

the little dot that you see now is a signal i sent to you tens of thousands of years ago.

its a signal that contains all secrets. but as the dot’s light fades, the signal dies.

Happy Miku Day!

feat. Madam Faruzan, naturally 0️⃣1️⃣ Hatsune Miku and vocaloids in general were a pretty big part of my adolescence, i discovered their music in early highschool i believe. before that i didnt think synthesized voices could i guess, convey any feelings in the same way a real voice could, but then i heard the song Dear sung by her, composed by 19's Sound Factory and my gosh, it actually made me cry. that song still makes me feel things half my life later, and is still on my phone somewhere. that also led me to dabbling in translation of the lyrics to that song and many others into my native language. though since i was uploading to yt, i got a couple copyright strikes and i got scared of having my channel deleted and losing everything so i stopped. anyhow, thats enough Meiko lore for today 😅

im happy i got to pay tribute to 2 pieces of media that i like a lot 🥰

twenty questions for fic writers 🫡

thanks for the tag @syoddeye!

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

50

2. what's your total ao3 word count?

699,806

3. what fandoms do you write for?

oh god, ongoing or previous too?? uhm currently batfam, star wars, cod, st - but i’ve had a few extra that i used to write for too

4. top five fics by kudos

i’m not linking them all bc some are,,,, far from my best work. also can u tell i love a long lyric title?

if you can’t give me all, give me nothing ; memorise the way you make me feel ; the way you move like you do ; i’m addicted to the way i feel when i think of you ; took the words right out of my mouth

5. do you respond to comments?

literally every single one,, before getting this account back a few months ago it was the only way i interacted w people in the fandoms so 🤷‍♀️ sometimes it might take a week tho but i try to be quick

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i don’t tend to do angst endings? like even in darker angsty fics i usually twist it so it’s like dubcon happy at the end 🥴🥴 sooo maybe either no grave can hold my body down or can i steal a kiss or two? or even choices made in anger

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

liiiiiterally any other fic i’ve ever written lmao

8. do you get hate on fics?

not often? BUT i usually do fluff fics and when i started dabbling in darker stuff that’s when i got more hate - specifically on one fic in particular

9. do you write smut?

yeah! not all the time but maybe 65%

10. craziest crossover:

i dont really do crossovers but my last mando fic was inspired by justified if that counts?

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of,, again im not very online to be able to know :/

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

yeah! just one but now i dont do it,, learning curve for me

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

almost when i was first starting out writing 6 years back but it fell through - katy if ur still out there i hope ur enjoying life <3

14. all time favorite ship?

ffffuckkkkkk i don’t think i can choose bc i dip in and out so often but i do tend to always come back to jaytim? they’re my for lifers i think but soap x reader is a close second atm

15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i’ll always finish my wips bc i can’t stand to see them unfinished,, but it’s been like three years since i first said i was going to write my sci-fi dystopian jaytim fic and im still not past the first paragraph :/

16. what are your writing strengths?

i think i’m good at dialogue and catching accents and nailing personalities pretty quick,,

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

i’m so fucking slow. if nothing else, watching people write for cod on here has shown me how quick everyone else seems to be able to write :’)

and also with longer fics i’ve gotten into the (bad) habit of leaving out like integral details that i assume the reader will just know bc ive been too in my own head about it all and ive forgotten what i’ve established already; leads to decisions looking like they’ve come out of nowhere or random personality changes

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language?

i’ve attempted it but i have to google translate it so i try to keep it to a minimum and ask for correction in the comments. sometimes i do it italicised but written in english so readers can understand that it’s meant to be another language but dont have to skip to the bottom notes or another tab to understand what’s being said

19. first fandom you wrote in?

teen wolf 🥴

20. favorite fic you've written?

idk if i’ve got a favourite,, in hindsight a lot of the ones i think about most fondly are the ones that absolutely killed me off when writing so i’ve got real rose tinted glasses about them all. however these are few that should get honourable mentions just because i like them and they didn’t pop up earlier

whew this was long i think i yapped ontoo much lmao but it was so fun!!

no pressure tags: @glossysoap @mikichko @kyletogaz @femalefemur @sentientcave @gemmahale @madstronaut and anyone else who wants to give it a go!!

tagged by @hua-fei-hua, 15 questions for 15 mutuals

1. are you named after anyone

yes, i was named after my brother, on account of him being born earlier :p

ok no, i share the same generational name character with my brother but i wasn't named after anyone

2. when was the last time you cried?

like last week graduation day bro you know how it is

3. do you have kids?

idk what those are

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

like a decent amount ig. but I'd say my sense of humor is mostly recounting funny situations/Being Silly/puns (the sheer unbridled pun power of the chinese language... incredible)

5. what sports do you play/have played?

haha all the sports i partake in don't use the verb 'play' (im dogshit at ball games)

track and field in elementary/middle school (short distance running and long jump mostly) and parkour starting in uni. oh and i also did ballet till like age 12, to everyone's surprise ←now i literally just look like Some Dude and also have terrible coordination and absolutely no grace✌️

6. what's the first thing you notice about people?

hair, if they have glasses, shirt color. I'm pretty faceblind as well but in high school I used to memorize unfamiliar people by their shoes and that worked pretty well. i could spot Neon Pink Shoes senpai coming from a mile away

7. eye color?

⚫⚫

8. scary movies or happy endings?

no preference as long as it's well written. also this is the strangest non-mutually exclusive way of classifying stories I've ever seen

9. any special talents?

i can hold like a really fucked up looking pose on parallel bars on account of my Freakishly Long Neck. can pull all nighters all the time and not get dark undereye circles. double jointed thumbs? Good At Jumping compared to the average person in my demographic. tentatively trilingual. Oh and i wouldnt say I'm particularly talented at drawing but i can say for sure i can draw a mean picture in powerpoint shapes with a trackpad. don't ask me why

10. where were you born?

also in a hospital in einem ✨Krankenhaus✨ yeah that seems fitting

11. what are your hobbies?

digital art, parkour, and more recently novel and lyric translation. anime and manga but i dont keep up with that many series these days tbh. dabble in guitar/piano/music composition once in a blue moon and yes I'm very bad at all of them :D

12. do you have any pets?

none of my own but there's like 15 dogs on campus and we (dog club) are constantly tripping over ourselves to keep them in check. they're very stupid <3

here, have a picture

13. how tall are you?

been 166.7 cm since i was 15

14. favorite subject in school?

used to be physics in high school ig. at least the part about classical mechanics. never been a fan of electromagnetics🤢 in uni... idk, neurobiology was fun? and coding. i dont think most engineering students 'like' their core subjects haha

15. dream job?

*sweats* alrighty everyone that concludes this tag meme have a great night!

i definitely do not have 15 mutuals so anyone who wants 2 do it just go right ahead. if you're in an oversharing mood today.

what your favorite infinity on high song says about you

thriller: nostalgic, but not in a bad way. may forget about the future sometimes, though. like acoustic covers of things. probably collect something: concert tickets, different cigarettes, pressed flowers. want to be with someone forever, till death do them part.

take over: know a good rhythm when they hear one. favorite character from romeo + juliet is mercutio: all that "star-crossed lovers" shit was too sappy, anyways. like hickeys. may be sad, but they still know how to have a good time.

this ain't a scene: like a good summer bop, especially when played in a car with the top down. taps their feet to the beat. charismatic. their tongue gets them in trouble sometimes, but they're fun to be around.

im like a lawyer: don't give a fuck in the purest, happiest way: positive nihilism. have had their fair share of relationships, so they know what they want. like harmless pranks. probably gonna be a weed grandpa someday.

hum hallelujah: miss something they never really had. their thoughts repeat themselves like song lyrics that get stuck in your head. sometimes so lonely they feel numb. at the core of their being, they're very caring and sweet.

golden: sad, dramatic shit. probably a daydreamer in grade school and/or a theater kid in high school. think people make fun of past decades too much sometimes. fall in love slowly, deeply, with both people and things.

thnks fr th mmrs: either just a lowkey fob stan or really, unapologetically love this song. probably listen to today's Top 40. strong and resilient. believe their teenage years were crucially formative for their current self.

don't you know?: translate most of their sadness into anger. don't mind drinking alone: that's when they think best. don't smile often in public, but when they do, it's brilliant. somewhat soft hearted.

after life: dreamy, romantic, fall into infatuation easily. prefer slow dancing and like star gazing. close to getting through most of the hard shit in their life.

carpal tunnel: love words, and have probably dabbled in writing before. badass. if they were a mythical creature, they'd be one of the voices from the lost boys. like those regional gothic memes.

bang the doldrums: will def have at least one one-night-stand in their lifetime. make bad decisions sometimes, but they know how to live with them. like messy hair. want to live in the city just so they can run down the streets at night.

fame infamy: clever, cheeky shit and smooth as fuck. have a cute smile, but won't admit it no matter what, through thick or thin. like neon lights and rain on windowpanes.

you're crashing: think before they speak, but when they do, it's like all hell's broken loose. not a cynic, even if they act like onw: they still want the world to be a better place. a top. probably secretly kinky.

ive got all this ringing: party drunk. prefer sunsets to sunrises. when they think about the past, they always think about what might've been. like it when female singers have smooth, smoky voices. neutral alignment.

ginasfs: take polaroids. like starry night by van gogh. forget their chapstick a lot, so their lips are often cracked. like wearing oversized sweaters. not fully over their exes.

it's hard to say i do: go against the flow. staying up late is more about watching the shadows flicker on the ceiling and less about partying or having fun. live with a slow, deep angst that sits at the pit of your stomach.

What inspires you to write so well? And how did you start?

ive sort of always dabbled at writing for fun... like when i was in 3rd grade my teacher used to let me read my stories out loud to the class??? bahahahha they were probably horrendous but my friends thought they were funny and my teacher was super encouraging so i think thats why i thought i was decent at it even though i had no idea what i was doing. then i used to write poems and i got one published which was kinda cool. i went through like an emo stage in high school (who doesnt?) where i wrote a lot of lyrics but im not very musical so that phase didnt last long. i always kept journals because for a hot second i thought i was harriet the spy...except my grandma ALWAYS caught me so i was a terrible spy. and a really messy writer, lol. i always loved to read though, because my mom is a voracious reader and always has a book in her hand so i picked up that habit when i was young and it never left me. but then i went off to college and i was going to major in english, but shifted to something science related (weird), then after that turned into an ~adult~ with a ~job~ and the spark died and i truly hadn’t written anything in 10 or so years. then my mom made a comment asking about if i write anymore and i realized i really hadn’t and i was like hm. that’s interesting. so then i made myself a promise that i’d start again but everything was kind of feeling very flat with my original stuff. THEN katie mcgrath appeared in my life and i was like.... hello, consider me turned on AND inspired. so ive been using fanfic to recreate the writing magic again...and to practice, practice, practice. its easy to focus on different elements of writing and crafting when you don’t necessarily have to develop the characters from scratch. and here we are! i think its just the happiness i get from writing that translates well on the page. im finally going to start dabbling back in my original work soon and that’s very exciting.
