Incoming rant nobody but me cares about. Spain’s dub of the scene where we find out Tain is Garak’s dad enrages me so much.

So, I just love watching this scene in any language that has this formal and informal pronoun distinction unlike English. Almost all of them have Garak, Tain and/or both go from using formal pronouns to informal pronouns in this scene and it hits so hard. I obviously don’t know enough of each language this show was dubbed in to know how all of them do this, but the german dub (I’m biased I know) does it like this. Tain and Garak use formal pronouns for each other and the moment Garak directly calls Tain “father”, they switch to informal. Some dubs have only Garak use informal pronouns while Tain uses formal ones and vice versa, but having them both switch pronouns is my favorite way of doing this. Do you know what my least favorite way of doing it is? Having them both continue to use formal pronouns with each other like Spain’s dub had them do.

I definitely understand why you might choose to make this translation decision. Tain and Garak aren’t close at all. In fact, in another universe where the two openly acknowledged each other as father and son, I can definitely see them still using formal pronouns with each other despite that or at least Garak might use them for Tain. Tain is 100% the type of ridiculously old fashioned and authoritative father that would have his son use formal pronouns for him. The closest thing to that in English would be a father who makes his kid call him sir, I guess. So I can definitely see why, if one doesn’t analyze this scene’s meaning at all, they might choose to have the two continue the formal pronoun shtick.

Here’s the issue tho. Beyond this scene serving as a way to reveal this big plot twist to the audience, the main point of it is to have Garak and Tain, for the first time in their entire lives, be open and vulnerable with each other. It’s very difficult to imagine the two have even spoken the truth about their relationship out loud before, based on how Tain instinctively panics at Garak calling him his father despite thinking they’re alone. This is the first time we see Tain be something even resembling loving and paternal and it’s the first time Garak lets himself so explicitly state his desire to be loved. Of course, he can’t ask for it very explicitly, but saying “let me be your son” is as close to it as he can get. And Tain can’t be so explicit in admitting he does care for Garak, but saying “you’ve always been a weakness I can’t afford” and telling him he was proud of him on this one specific day years ago is as close to it as he can get.

My point is, this is supposed to be Tain and Garak being as vulnerable as they can possibly be with each other. Formal pronouns just don’t mesh with that in my opinion. Going from formal to informal pronouns is a great choice though.

Long rant. Sorry. I’m so insane about translating media

Just some screenshots I took during the Sonic Prime event. A few characters I thought looked cool/interesting with the New Yoke City backdrop, and a couple neat renders.

did someone say Baby Sonic vs. Dr. Babble??

Galactic Gazetteer: Teplan One

Class: M

Quadrant: Gamma

Location: Teplan binary system, Kendari Sector

Inhabitants: Teplans

Affiliation: non-aligned

Appearance: DS9 "The Quickening" (1996)

Not very fun fact: The Dominion attempted to annex Teplan in the 22nd century. When they resisted, the Jem'Hadar lay waste to the planet and infected the population with a disease called the Blight.

Much better fact: although Dr. Bashir wasn't able to cure the Blight, he was able to create a vaccine to save future generations.

⸺ He stared up in bemusement at the robot's declaration.

"I... uh, that's... heh, that's not needed, Gamma. Just... be yourself, y'know? That's enough."

Nine definitely had a soft spot for the robot and as trust grew, he smiled at the thought that Gamma was finally someone he could rely on and trust.

So about a week ago I started drawing Sonic stuff again and challenged myself to draw at least one thing every day! Anything counts no matter how small!

I'm indecisive so to help me choose who to draw I made a lil list and each day I roll a random number :3 The only rule is no doubles, if I draw Sonic today I can't draw him again tomorrow!!

“the sky is so pretty tonight,” I sighed. tsukishima and I sat cross-legged on our school’s roof.

since we were both a part of the student council, as co-sports captains, we had to stay back after hours to work on setting up everything for next week’s inter-school volleyball tournament that karasuno’s hosting.

we had just finished setting up all the stalls outside the court, and decided to call it a day since it was nearly nine in the night.

exhausted, I flopped onto my back. I pulled tsukishima down with me, and pulled out his arm to rest my head on.

“my favourite cushion,” I mumbled, smiling.

“my time as a cushion is very valuable, I must say.” he said, joking. “I bill by the hour.”

“yes, sir! you’ll get paid for being the best cushion ever.”

“I better.” he grumbled, and the both of us laughed.

after a while of just looking at the stars, tsukishima broke the silence.

“which constellation is that?” he asked me, pointing at the sky.

“oh! that’s hydra! it’s the longest constellation that’s ever been officially named.” I said, starting to ramble about it. “it’s made of, like, 17 different stars. oh my god, i’ve never been happier about how less pollution there is, in our prefecture. anyway, the brightest one there, if you see it,” I pointed at one star. “that’s alphard, or alpha hydrae. it’s like the defining star because it’s brighter than the rest, in the hydra constellation.”

“what about the one above that?” he asked, pointing to a quadrilateral-looking arrangement of stars.

“I think that’s… corvus? it’s symbolised by a crow or a raven. the four ends of the quadrilateral you can see, are gamma, delta, epsilon, and beta corvi. it’s associated with the greek god, apollo.”

I turned to check if he fell asleep, but he was staring at me quietly. he quickly whipped his head ahead, masking his smile.

I traced my fingers over the freckles on his cheek, under his eyes.

“this constellation’s my favourite one of all, though,” I whispered, observing his freckles. no matter how faint at night, everytime I saw them, I had this urge to trace every single one of them. join them like stars join to make constellations, and name them all.

his eyes fluttered close slowly.

I turned back to the sky, my cold fingers still resting against his warm cheek.

before I could continue telling him about the other constellations I could spot, a shooting star appeared at the edge of my vision. I sat up suddenly, and slapped tsukki’s arm.

“it’s a shooting star!” I exclaimed, in awe. “make a wish, tsukki! quick!”

I closed my eyes, and clasped my hands.

I wish I get amazing grades forever. and… I wish this moment with tsukki… lasted forever. I also wish for cute stuffed toys for my birthday this year!

I opened my eyes and turned to tsukishima, who was already looking at me.

“did you make a wish?” I asked, smiling.

tsukishima’s pov:

“make a wish, tsukki! quick!” y/n said.

my heart fluttered at the nickname, even though she called me that a lot. get a grip, kei! I chide myself.

her eyes closed, and her eyebrows pinched together in concentration.

I took in all of her features. the shape of her eyes. the slope of her nose. the curve of her lips. her beauty.

“did you make a wish?” she asked, opening her eyes and turning to me.

heat crept up my neck after getting caught staring at her. twice.

“yeah,” I lied.

every smile she sent my way, and every laugh i’d heard from her. every low moment in our volleyball careers we went through together. every win we celebrated with each others’ teams.

she was my dream come true.

what else could I wish for, if all i’d ever wanted was right in front of my eyes?

*pats Nine's head* (bornofgamma.)

|| // @bornofgamma

⸺ "...Huh?"

He'd been helping this robot out for a little now and the pat on his head threw him off. Albeit, he wasn't expecting it, learning more about the machine, he's grown a soft spot for it. Oddly enough, Nine always shows respect to it by calling it by its name: Gamma. Gamma is probably one of the few, if one of the only persons or should he say robots, that he's allowed into his personal space.

Gamma was gentle about the patting, too. Not too soft, not too rough.

And, Nine wasn't entirely there yet about verbally speaking his emotions to the being, but he... enjoyed the interaction. It's the closest he's had in years to any form of physical touch. Strangely enough, he didn't mind it.

He awarded the robot with a soft smile.

This is so nice and I loved how you write Rusty and the fact that her “dying” is the line that has been crossed for Sonic to turn dark is really interesting. Plus, I feel so dang happy Nine managed to restore Rusty Rose and Sonic hugging her since he did just witness her death is the sweetest moment in this story.

I want to see nines reaction to dark sonic

CW: DEATH, AND SOMEWHAT GRAPHIC VIOLENCE

It’s the final battle between the resistance and the Chaos Council. Tensions are high, and the numbers are dropping fast.

Nine has managed to get Rusty Rose on their side once more, and this time made the firewall much more difficult to break through. Rusty is absolutely killing it, tearing apart every robot in sight.

Until she’s not. Dr. Deep has managed to snatch her in a locked arm. He cackles, getting the attention of Sonic, making Nine look in the same direction.

“Put her down!” Sonic demands. Mr. Dr. Eggman rests his cheek on his hand “why should we do that~ she ours and belongs to US.”

Sonic sneers “she belongs to nobody!

“Oh-ho yeah? Then why do you need to reprogram her for her to be on YOUR side?”

“Put. Her. Down.”

Dr. Deep grins. He slowly starts to squeeze Rusty in his mechanical arm. Rusty let’s out a pained scream, feeling her insides crack and close in on itself. Sonic stands horrified “HEY! LEAVE HER ALONE!”

“If you say so!” Rusty is dropped. Sonic rushes and catches her before she hits the ground. He holds her. Her body is twitching, emitting sparks. Her yellow eye is flickering. “Rusty?! Oh my chaos- Rusty speak to me!” Sonic yells through cloudy eyes. Rusty looks at him, struggling to function before her eyes flicker off, and her body goes limp.

It’s like things go quiet for a moment. Sonic drops to his knees clutching poor Rusty Rose. Nine slowly approaches Sonic. Seeing Rusty, he gasps. Even as a robot, it’s a pretty grizzly sight, even for him.

Sonic slowly puts her down and stands up. “You killed her.” He doesn’t even look up.

The council laughs. “Oh and what will you do now without your precious temporary ally?” Dr. Doom inquires.

“You. Killed her.” Sonics pupils disappear, his eyes beginning to glow a bright white.

Rebel and Knucks run to the scene. They back away seeing Rusty’s body on the floor. Knucks tears his eyes away and shuts his eyes tight. Rebel clutches his hand in hers.

Nine looks up at Sonic and squints. Is.. is he getting darker? “Uh? Sonic?” He asks, bringing the attention back on him from the other two and the rest of the resistance.

Sonics fur turns a darker blue, a dark aura surrounding him, making the hairs on the necks of the council stand up. His quills raise upwards.

Sonic chuckles “you want a fight? THEN COME GET IT!” He flickers away, then suddenly the mechs of the council are torn to shreds by Sonic engulfed with anger and grief.

Nine stares on with a shocked expression. What.. is going on? He’s barely able to process the speed of it. Sonic was no longer the happy optimistic person he knew- he was now a being fuelled with anger and insane power. He’s amazed.. but at the same time afraid. His best friend has transformed into something darker.

The council lays on the ground groaning in pain. Sonic also carry’s on to destroy all remaining robots plus the HQ tower in a flash. The tower collapses, but he also makes sure to get every innocent away.

He flashes in front of the council who looks up at him. They scramble backwards and realize they have nothing left. Sonic has a sinister smile “leave. Leave and never return. Or else I will not hesitate to put you in the same condition as your sorry robots.” The council gets up and scurries away, never to return.

Sonic takes some breaths and calms down, his quills returning to their downwards place, and his fur and eyes going back to normal. Everyone cheers him on.

Nine, Rebel, and Knucks rush over to him. Nine stutters out “S-Sonic?? What WAS that?”

“Not sure. It’s never happened before… I guess that’s a reason I shouldn’t get too angry.” Sonic turns to face his friends. They all have solemn expressions. Sonic sighs and looks down at his feet.

Everything is cleaned up. Nine takes Rusty to his lab and gets to work. He’s not sure how successful he will be, but he has to try. If there’s one thing he’s learned from Sonic, it’s that everyone deserves a chance.

Nine develops a new battery and new parts for Rusty, as well as getting rid of all the rust on her. It was a nearly a loss, but Rose is complete, and Birdie is now free and concerned for her owner.

Rose wakes up and looks around and down at her hands. She feels reborn. She remembers what had happened to her and the monster she was before.

“Rose?” Nine waves to get her attention. Rose looks down at him “I’m Rusty Rose.. I think.”

“You’re not Rusty anymore!” Nine wishes he could restore her organic body, but he’s not willing to go through any more trauma today.

He brings her out to where Sonic is talking with the members of the resistance, planning on reforming the city. Everyone’s thanking him, but at the cost of poor Rusty, he feels he didn’t win.

“Sonic!” Nine calls out to Sonic with an unusually chipper tone. Sonic turns to look at him and gasps. Rose stands behind Nine. Sonic runs to her. He makes a big smile and hugs her. “I was gifted freedom today.” Rose says, with some newfound hope. “Nine told me of your sacrifice. I am forever grateful.” She extends her arms to experiment hugging back. “New emotion detected.”

“What kind of emotion?” Sonic asks.

Rose smiles “happiness.”

Sonic just HAS to hug her again.

Then he goes and scoops up Nine in the biggest bear hug and swings him around, thanking him over and over. Nine accepts this. This feels nice. Doing nice things feels nice.

Everyone forever notes to never piss off the hedgehog!
