while i dont think its necessarily like an egregiously offensive blunder by any means like theyve done much worse and it suits the narwhal fine. truly an eng translation moment to call it the all-devouring narwhal for no particular reason when once more every single translation (save for russian for some reason) is star-devouring/-swallowing narwhal/whale like 💀 why do they keep doing this

#eng translation that one contrarian in the workplace that just will not go with the rest #like im glad eng team is thinking of a more varied diet for my beloved but like if its called star devouring in the original #whats up w just changing it either way jajskdkskskskgl for funsies?#i try to be like nice and realistic about translation stuff bc idk chinese but i do know its always difficult to fully convey things #and like i dont know abt the communication the translators have with the writers if they have any at all #etc etc. but stuff like this being changed is kinda just silly #ESPECIALLY if the star part ends up being significant later on which i can very muvh see w the constellation = destiny thing #if its snacking on say perchance the stars making up ajax' celestia-decreed fate isnt that just freeing him from a predestined path 🤨🤨#me when my least suspicious atk pattern is just fucking blasting through monoceros caeli and watching its stars fall from the sky #and 2/3 of my boss drops are about dimmed stars and fractured constellations. huh huh #genshin #rambles #narwhalposting
