「Thank you, Commandant.」

Time: 2023-08-08

I didn't expect that you and Commandant Simon were planning something to celebrate my "activation day".

Since my body was made by the Ascendants by piecing together the remains of other Constructs, my memory's a bit foggy and I can't remember the exact date I was reconstructed. But when I was filling out my data, the staff said I could pick any date I'd like to celebrate as my birthday instead, so that's what I registered on the form.

So I was honestly surprised that you remembered and even wished me a happy birthday, even though the information I filled in wasn't exactly correct.

Honestly, this was something I should've told you back at the Gray Raven's lounge, but I couldn't say anything at the time.

I didn't realize until now but, because I've gotten so used to just surviving that I've grown accustomed to forgetting about things like birthdays, whether it be my own or others. If you hadn't reminded me, I would've most likely forgotten about it again.

So thank you; for not only remembering this special day, but also for your joy at the birthdate of this sinner.

Does this mean that I've gotten closer to and accepted by you, even just a little bit?

According to the customs of travelling merchants and traders, I should've given you something as a token of my gratitude.

But after picking out my gifts for Commandant Simon, Captain Paloma, and Lillian, I realized I knew practically nothing about you nor what you liked, so I didn't know what to get you.

Though I know there's nothing wrong with gifting someone that's of inherent value, my predecessors have always said that friendship without mutual benefactory is delicate and flawed.

Owing debts to each other is sometimes necessary between people. Good friends will bicker, fight, and then make up afterwards, repeating this cycle again and again. Only with this can we truly let our guards down and become real friends.

But I'm no longer a drifting trader. I wish to stay here, so I won't consider this as a one-time thing.

Can I see you again sometime soon?

I wish to know more about you; not from other people, but from you directly.

And when that time comes, I'll definitely prepare a much better gift for you then-- the gift known as friendship.

Of course, if you'd like to have that moment alone instead, then you can disregard this notebook or even this drawing of a starry sky.

The main reason why I drew it is because I still remember what you said that day.

Additionally: Having said that, I feel a bit embarrassed having given you a couple of useless drawings, so I went out and bought at least a few multivitamin candies since Comnandant Simon said that commandants often use these as diet supplements.

You've been working a lot lately, so it's important to not forget about regularly taking your medicine. Please don't push yourself too hard.

Good night.

i keep seeing people getting a little confused about the titles and terms used in rotbb so i thought id make a quick little guide on the more common titles and pre/suffixes used in the novel/manhwa

for minor context, members of a sect may take on the names that denote which generation they come from within the sect (current mount hua consists of, in order from eldest to youngest, the hyun line, the un line, the baek line, and the chung line, though the true generational naming convention would have typically been chung > myung > hyun > un > baek, which would then repeat in a cycle) however taking on a generational name isnt necessarily required/enforced (ex. yu iseol, yoon jong, jo gul, etc do not take on generational names)

in his previous life, because chung myung was raised in the sect since infancy, he took on the chung generational name as his ‘birth’ name, as the chung line was the generation he was raised in. when he reenters mount hua post resurrection, he becomes a third class disciple, aka the current era chung disciples

TITLES

jangmun: sect leader, jangmun'in is used when speaking directly to the sect leader (ex. hyun jong, chung mun)

sasuk: senior martial brother, used by disciples of a different rank to senior disciples of higher ranking (ex. the chung disciples referring to the baek disciples, the baek/chung disciples referring to the un disciples)

sajil: junior martial brother, used by disciples of a different rank to junior disciples of a lower ranking (ex. the un disciples referring to the baek/chung disciples, the baek disciples referring to the chung disciples)

sasukjo: great martial uncle, used by disciples referring to the line above sasuk

sajo: martial grandparent/ancestor

sason: martial grandchild/descendant

sahyung: senior martial brother, used by disciples within the same rank to disciples who entered the sect earlier than them (aka chung myung referring to the elder chung disciples, chung disciples referring to yoon jong)

sajae: junior martial brother, used by disciples within the same rank to disciples who entered the sect after them (ex. the chung disciples referring to the chung disciples)

sajeo: senior martial sister, same as sahyung but used for women

sago: senior martial sister, same as sasuk but used for women (ex. tang soso referring to yu iseol)

samae: junior martial sister, same as sajae but used for women (ex. baek cheon referring to yu iseol)

dojang: disciple (ex. older characters use this to refer to chung myung/disciples of a sect)

hyung: meaning older brother, used by males when referring to their older brother or to an older male colleague one is friendly with

hyeonja-bae: referring to the hyun generation

unja-bae: referring to the un generation

baekja-bae: referring to the baek generation

cheongja-bae: referring to the chung generation

maehwa geomjon: plum blossom sword saint

hwasan shinryong: mount huas divine dragon

amjon/amzone: dark saint

maknae: used to refer to the youngest person in a group of people

PRE/SUFFIXES

-ah: a suffix that denotes casual familiarity typically used for those who are younger than the speaker or are of the same social standing, used at the end of a name if the name ends in a consonant (ex. hyun jong calls chung myung ‘chung myung'ah’)

-ya: a suffix that denotes casual familiarity typically used for those who are younger than the speaker or are of the same social standing, used at the end of a name if the name ends in a vowel (ex. chung myung calls tang bo ‘tang bo'ya’)

-nim: a respectful suffix that essentially means mr/mrs/miss

dosa: meaning taoist (ex. tang bo typically refers to chung myung as hyung nim/dosa hyung/dosa hyung nim)

-jon: a title given to martial artists who have mastered their respective martial arts perfectly, the most honourable title a warrior could get, translated to as ‘saint’ in the novel or 'supreme' in the manhwa (ex. plum blossom sword saint, dark saint)

please keep in mind however im not fluent in korean nor am i fully familiar w these terms of address and am using my knowledge of chinese honorifics and titles as they follow a similar formula.. if ive mislabeled something or used an unfaithful/misleading description, or if you just have more to add that i havent listed, please lmk!

Redraw their moments on chap 111 🥺

[petals-and-ink]

Oh Vanilla Orchid, your eyes betray your very smile

What are you if not a serene being?

Are you truthly who you appear to be?

Or are you just a being sinking into it's own regret and shame, unknowingly dooming itself to a constant pain lurking just around the corner?

Do I you shield my your soul away, wishing for it all to leave my your mind someday?

Or is it a self inflicted punishment against what I you abandoned?

Is this truthly how I you wish to live?

Should I you speak up and tell the truth I you claim to be oh so important?

No

How could I risk loosing and hurting the ones I care for the most again?

After my failure, what would it do? How would it even turn out?

I can't live another tragedy, I can't fail everyone all over again, what would the two even feel if they were here?

Gods, they would be so devastated..

I must keep this to myself, it would be only fair wouldn't it? No one will get hurt if I keep quiet for now, after all.

I'm guilty of not reaching them in time, and this is my price to pay.

I love the IDV Twitter responses sm,,, I wish they could be a thing for Global

[muutos]

it's interesting that the valar sent maiar, obviously inferior to sauron, to middle earth in the shepherding role, which is why gandalf was so steadfast in not becoming too involved in events due to his power. he is not meant to do the jobs for the characters, but to instill within them his very wisdom. it's why he stands above rather than participate in the final fight, as almost a beacon. why he must resist the ring. because with it, he indeed could be the next deceiver. well aware, and to know is a burden in itself. the ring would twist any man's greatest desires into evil (save for faramir who could not give a fuck to use it for gondor's sake), but even then after time enough he would have fallen to its will also.

sauron was a maiar, and the finest of them as well. to think he was literally named Mairon after maiar, admirable. growing an obsession with perfection while being surrounded by all the gods, and having perceived Eru directly. has literally gazed upon the epitome of perfection.

the idea of the original evil forces of middle earth being essentially lesser gods, and angelic beings is my favorite part about the early lore.

he actually WAS another's vala's apprentice before melkor. the smith, aulë's apprentice.

sauron might have once been meant to be what gandalf was, a guiding hand towards divine intervention. and that is part of why gandalf and the other wizards were created still to be inferior to Mairon. it's all just quite interesting how the valar self corrected a bit, as the entirety of lord of the rings hinges on fate. frodo failed his test, but because the characters and forces of good chose love, mercy and compassion, they succeeded by the hands of fate.

their evil was always meant to be too powerful for the heroic to overcome without external forces.

◆Noan Activation Day Celebration◆

When I looked back on the footprints we've left behind as we walked along the beach for a while, Commandant, I couldn't help but recall my first day here in Babylonia and realized that it's been so long since then.

Thank you for accompanying me today, and I'm glad I got the chance to chat with you like this while we take a beachside stroll.

You don't have to worry about me. Because, the fact that you're willingly listening and confiding in me is... hmm... How do I say it, a breath of fresh air?

Don't worry, I'll keep tonight's escapades just a secret between the two of us. A private moment deeply tucked away.

Oh, It's almost dawn, Commandant. Let's make a wish together before the fireworks of summer's night fade into the rising sun.

-- Happy Activation Day, [ Noan ]

I made an f-list of Moras interests / potential interests

[splatoonusna]

Also the Official NA Account got the Stamp's name wrong, so I corrected it in my post when I uploaded it.

It's a Nouveau, not a Neo like they posted. The stickers on the weapon as well as the translation of JP's post confirmed it to be a Nouveau. (ヒュー -> Hyū or Hugh/Hue as it comes up in Google Translate)

[eternalstarlights]

Holy Shit! They made a website and a trailer for the Saint Seiya Lost Canvas upcoming drama CD chapter.

I have a question for Genshin side of tumblr, especially the multilinguals and translators because I am on board with Alhaitham and Kaveh them being platonic or romantic but it just hit me after seeing user & artist eannagram bring it up on Twitter

Alhaitham says he has a house and even threatens to kick out Kaveh out- yet in all the English translations they use the word “roommates”. Kaveh is literally an architect so even if the place is small, it makes no sense for them to share a room based off their dynamic. And even if it was a dorm or apartment, roommates is still the incorrect phrase because housemates, dorm mates, & flat mates would all be a more accurate translations

Are they genuinely gay coded and this is how the EN team is getting the CN censorship across without explicitly saying it or is it a mistranslation and the EN team accidentally implied they’re a couple?
