Would it be bad/mad to name baby Solar Flare Helios mostly so I give him the nickname Hel?

[bitchimasnake-sss]

the monster trio (but make it highschool!au);

basically, what if these mf weren't illiterate?? highschool!au headcanons for the monster trio!!

m.list

luffy:

- the class comedian (and doesn't know it) - like this man is out here just going about his day, doing stupid shit. he doesn't know why the class is laughing when the teacher asks him what he's doing and he says "eating. want some?" through a mouthful of doritos and a shit-eating grin - everyday, atleast once, he gets sent to the principle (the principle is garp lmao) and garp sends luffy back to the teacher because even he doesn't wanna deal with this precious himbo

- he runs track (and he is actually so good at it) - he's that one kid that has adhd and the whole school knows but he doesnt "adhd? what's that?" "you, luffy, that's you" - his homework? never complete; his handwriting? so shit it feels like ants crawling on paper; his uniform? something has to be missing always whether it's a button on his shirt, tie, belt, something. - one time he pulled up with one sock missing and when asked, he shrugged and said "sometimes things happen" - why did he say it like that??? - somehow, despite it all, he manages to pass (nami tutored him forcefully and made him pay her later) - best friends with the martial artist!zoro and cooking prodigy!sanji - nobody knows how these three are friends??? but they are ig - also, i headcannon him as the guy who is like 4 feet and after one summer comes back stretched out (hehe, pun intended) - always so kind to others even if he doesn't know them, always willing to help freshmen out and run errands for you if you need help - nobody knew he is related to his older brothers (ace, sabo) "how are you their brother??" "idk? how am i??" - just the bestest boy ever, golden retriever energy all day every day no matter what universe it is

zoro:

- you take one look at this mf and you think, ah here is the classic delinquent, stick-up-his-ass martial artist and you couldnt be more wrong - he is never dressed right but that's cause he doesn't know how to tie a tie and listen if he had the willpower to find the right socks at 7 in the morning, he will - he is just an incompetent fool, trust me 😭😭 - gets late on the regular cause he always takes the wrong turn - the one "jock" who isn't anything like a stereotypical jock? like he hangs out with soon-to-be valedictorian nami, idiot luffy, theatre kid!ussop and cook!sanji - nobody can understand how this friend group was formed??? - actually gets asked out a decent amount of times and always says "nah, im good" and walks away to his friends - people are starting to suspect if he's dating luffy from how hard their bromance is going "zolo!!! gooDMORNING!!" luffy yells as he launches onto zoro in the middle of the hallway at 8:03 am on a random tuesday zoro casually drops his backpack to catch luffy "morning" zoro replies as if it's casual behaviour - the amount of trophies the school has in his name is insane (nation level martial artist, roronoa zoro) - he is actually decent at school, he is just average and he's fine by it he doesn't give all that much of a shit in the academic sphere - casually pulls up to the parents-teacher meet with thE FUCKING WORLD REKNOWNED MARTIAL ARTIST, DRACULE MIHAWK??? "i see he passed in all his exams. how wonderful, zoro. let's leave now." "aight" - he doesn't even think twice when asked if he knows mihawk, he's just like "yeah that's my dad what about him?" - a certified dumbass in every universe

sanji:

- listen to me this mf went to masterchef junior and fucking won and people only know this cause the school hyped him up and not because he wanted people to know "omg sanji did you actually win-" "no that was my twin brother sanjo, please leave me alone" - actually prim and properly dressed, shows up at time everyday and gives in all of his assignments and submissions well before the due date (he is partially responsible for keeping zoro and luffy on track) - he was the one making cupcakes when nami was organizing a fundraiser for a nearby orphanage, he was the one who baked cookies cause sabo wanted to hand them out on his last day of school, he was the one who baked cakes for his classmate's surprise birthday party - rumor has it if you get on good terms with sanji, a mysterious box of homemade chocolate will be there in your locker the next day - despite all the hype he has, mf still gets no girls - like luffy, he is insanely kind to those who need help - has gotten almost suspended once for beating up a senior year kid for bullying a freshmen (luffy and zoro just stood by and laughed as that kid got his ass handed to him) - he is the son of THE FUCKING OWNER OF BARATIE, A FIVE STAR MICHELLIN RESTAURANT THAT IS FREQUENTED BY CELEBRITIES ALL THE TIME "omg omg sanji is it true that the rock visited your restaurant last night?!" "yeah, his daughter wanted to eat my tiramisu, she's really sweet" - so chill always (but simultaneously losing his shit) - the kinda person you'd love hanging out with - as i said, in any universe, he is still single (feed him the rizz rizz fruit pls)

a/n: tried something new tell me do you like it or love it? m.list

The dissonance in Dazai's speech patterns is mostly due to translation, it feels right in the original. It was the artistic choice of official translators, the one that BSD fandom doesn't fully support, from what I've seen. Fan translations are quite alright, so I wouldn't say that the manga is worse than anime (quite the opposite tbh, it goes deeper and is darker in tone sometimes)

Oh really? That’s really good to know, thank you! So in terms of the difference for Dazai, would you say that in the official English translations, the casual translation in the anime or the more formal-sounding translations in the manga are more correct to the original? Is there a specific scanlation group you recommend I check, if more than one group did fan translations? (Although I know scanlation groups are usually super good about making sure no one else is doing the same project). I assumed the manga translation is more accurate but it suuuuuuper throws me off after getting to know Dazai in the anime translations. If I know which one is more dissonant with the original, it will help me know how hard I should work on getting used to it or if I’m better off continuing to buy the manga to support the industry but reading the scanlations if the fan translations are better than the official manga translations. 

That’s what I do with One Piece tbh. I fucking HAAAAAATE some of the choices made in the official English translations like for fucking fuck’s sake Viz his name is fucking ZORO not ZOLO ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RAAAAAAGEEEEEE but because OP is my favorite series of all time, I buy the shit out of everything related to it partially because it makes me happy and partially because I want to continue to support the series. But I always take forever to read the physical manga because I’m always way ahead on the digital scanlations. Also because I hate the whole bullshit with calling them Navy instead of Marines and Zolo instead of Zoro that I literally use a pen to change those stupid fucking l’s to r’s in his name in every page it appears. And that takes longer to read because I’m writing in the books as I go lol So anyway that was a tl;dr on just trying to figure out if this is like OP where the official manga translations got some key things obnoxiously wrong for no fucking good reason and I’m better off reading scanlations, or if it’s like other series where the official English manga translations are actually totally fine but the anime was the one that took some liberties and gave it an (un?)intended tonal shift instead.

Thanks either way for letting me know! Super good info! :) Also I’m excited to hear the manga goes deeper and is darker at times yessssssss my favorite things yesssssssssss
