The scene where SHJ is in an apron looking unkempt has been living in my head rent free for far too long

[wovenstarlight]

yjh 🤝 shj forever known by a mistranslation of their name

[sfstranslations]

how hard(?) would you say it is to translate? Ive been kinda curious about that, like does anything get lost in translation/ just not make that much sense without knowing the og language? or anything like that? 🤔

Hm, maybe 7 or 8 on a scale of 10? Though it can easily go higher at times, haha. (Always when Sung Hyunjae is in a scene because his name is a misspelling and it pisses me off.* This is a joke. Only half, though.) Basic word-by-word dictionary lookup is simple, which is why machine translators can do it well enough. But then you have to string all of it together in a sentence where you:

figure out and find a way to convey any difference in connotation between this specific chosen word and other words that mean the same thing (think the connotations of "regal" VS "royal" in English), and

do the same as above, but on a sentence-wide level translating the nuance of a particular grammar/sentence structure (thousand and one sentence endings in Korean, I swear -_-), and

make sure distinct character voices are retained or translated from the original Korean (think Song Taewon's stiff formality VS Han Yoojin's more casual speech VS Sung Hyunjae's middle-aged rich guy-type speech), and

make sure this sentence flows with the overall paragraph/chapter.

All those priorities have to be juggled throughout the chapter and add up to make it a fairly hard task. It definitely gets easier with practice once you're more familiar with the language (especially the nuance/connotation stuff), though, and I did get lucky in that my native language shares some aspects with Korean so the grammar is easier to intuitively grasp. Of course, I'm still learning, so I do have times I need to call in more experienced speakers for help.

(I definitely wouldn't say I'm good with the language period. Recently I've tentatively picked up a new novel—people following my personal blog will know which one—and it turns out I'm familiar with the way Geunseo talks and familiar with the vocabulary typical to dungeon fantasy novels, but kind of. Majorly hopeless when it comes to other stuff. The phrasing is juuust off enough that I keep getting tripped up and taking thrice as long to understand what's being said.)

There's definitely stuff that wouldn't make sense in English—certain idioms, cultural stuff, and all that, but that's why I try to localize wherever possible and add footnotes with relevant info/links if not. And there is stuff that gets lost in translation—you can look at the chapter titles from 302–307 for an example of that, where the joke is much more immediately obvious in Korean but had to be translated differently as chapter title VS in-chapter text messages and lost the clear parallel. I also remember being grumpy back during the virtual reality dungeon arc because Yoohyun would use 네놈 (ne-nom but typically pronounced ni-nom, a derogatory way to say "you", LMAO) towards Sigma and there was no concise way to get that across in English except having him be aggressive and direct. Especially since he isn't the type to swear by word of god, so I couldn't have him addressing him with "asshole" or "jerk" to convey it.

TL;DR: Fairly hard to translate, but gets easier with time, and there is stuff that's lost or difficult to understand, but I do what I can to make it understandable in English!

--

* Sung Hyunjae uses "ae" at the end, but that implies it's 성현재, which is wrong—the correct spelling is 성현제, which should be "Sung Hyunje". (If you wanted to go the full Revised Romanization route, it'd be Seong Hyeonje, but I've weathered my share of name changes and that's a step too far even for me.) I've been meaning to make a poll about changing it like with the Lauchitas spelling, but I keep forgetting.

Happy Birthday SHJ 🎂🎉🎉🎉

[calicomold]

yandere hyj but it's cute i swear

Han Yoojin who is completely and hopelessly in love with the Seseong guild leader. All he really wants to do is to monopolise Seong Hyeonje but there is no way for him to properly subjugate the S-class.

Of course, that doesn't stop hyj from trying.

Would shj have his head off if he fails?

It would still be worth it, he thought.

What hyj is painfully unaware of is the fact that shj is just as obsessed with him if not even more.

And so shj lets it happen, when the S-class chains, his own specialty, wrap around his body, he doesn't fight it.

At first he is merely amused, what could his Han Yoojin be up to this time?

As he eventually realises that the younger is trying to lock him up, something in him lights up. He had always been possessive of Han Yoojin, but maybe being someone else's possession wasn't that bad either.

Hyj is expecting it to go bust at any moment, if not for his fear resistance, his head might've exploded from the worry.

What he wasn't expecting was waking up in the morning to the smell of pancakes and shj in his kitchen trying to find syrup in the cabinets, greeting hyj with a warm smile once he notices his captor.

The golden chains binding shj's legs are still there.

[daii-dee]

hyj getting his head tucked under shj's chin is

so soft and cute what the fuck

[catboysooyoung]

blank version of that birthday card!

My S ranks chapter 409

SO much happened in this fucking chapter. There were some good SHJxHYJ moments overlapped with STWxHYJ moments ahhhhh. click read more to see spoilers (edited MTL)

First of all, Han Yoojin is somehow really attracted to muscles, and you know who has muscles? Song Taewon. For the second time, HYJ was practically salivating at his muscles when he took his top off hahahahaha

With a short sigh, Song Tae-won entered the bathroom. Only the top was still naked. Blood soaked under the collar, and the skin was stained weakly. And really.

Wow, really. Wow… … . Really, wow, wow.

"I will take care of it myself."

"Oh, yes. Then, I'll put it in front of the bathroom when you get dressed. "

"Thank you."

And then we have Sung Hyunjae absolutely noticing and calling Yoojin out.

I came out of the bathroom and closed the door. Only then I started to feel sorry. I was going to tell Chief Song about the regression.

“Don’t you like it too much?”

"No what am I."

Seong Hyeonje stared at me. Why why.

"… I'm envious. I'm envious. It's just like appreciating a work of art. "

"If it's a work of art─"

"Oh, I know you are handsome. Yes, if I put it you up at the Louvre, no one will realize that you’re is alive. I'll donate it in my name, so I wrap it around and put it in the packing box."

Could it be jealousy? can’t confirm lol. And then we have this two in one moment where Song Taewon retells Yoojin and Moon Hyuna told him who marries who the future. Yoojin believed it until he got to Sung Hyunjae marrying Evelyn hahaha.

“The Seseong Guild Leader married hunter Evelyn and the Haeyeon Guild Leader to hunter Kang Soyoung—"

"… Yeah?"

Huh? What? No wait.

"Sung Hyunjae never married!"

I yelled, opening the door wide open.

This man, Han Yoojin, just opened the door to the bathroom while Song taewoon was bathing. In rage. Because he was so in disbelief about SHJ (and YHY) and their marriages.

Anyways, he opens the bathroom door and then....slips....(bc he has an injured leg)

My feet slipped in the water on the floor. Normally, I will not fall, but the balance is not good.

"Han Yujin!"

The sound of water was loud, and the sound of a part of the tub breaking. Song Taewon's hand held me down and supported me.

"Thank you, were you joking?"

Mr. Song's joke. I should have recorded it.

"This was said by Moon Hyun-a Hunter. And Han Yujin. "

The heavily sunk eyes looked down at me.

"That’s not a lie"

He is holding Yoojin while NAKED. askjdhasjdgayjsgadgahgdvahdvada

takes a tiny miniscule amt of psychic damage every time i see ppl spell 성현제(sung hyunje/seong hyeonje)'s name as "hyunjae"... it, it's ㅔ not ㅐ 🥹 just nitpicking bc i speak korean but...

[wovenstarlight]

is tumblr gonna keep in the "you can vote on your own polls" feature cuz i would like to see the results without waiting a week but i also don't want to skew this because i'm under no assumptions that it will get to a large enough audience it won't make a difference

[wovenstarlight]

even with your tags about which one is technically correct i am still drawn to the pretty way of Sung Hyunjae when written out

gripping your shoulders really tightly thats the inertia talking don't let it get you

[about to sleep] [remembers the potential of a world where we had han yujin and han yuhyeon and seong hyeonje and so on] [about to sleep but super mad]

[calicomold]

a very self indulgent au [pre-regression spoilers]

Thinking about a Han Yoojin that doesn't forget his two friends from his first life.

When they meet at the conference and Hyeonje suugests buying him, Yoojin thinks "he's still a bastard... good", and something in his heart flutters.

Maybe Han Yoojin wouldn't tell Seong Hyeonje to lose the possessiveness because it feels like home.

Maybe he says yes to the dates instead of hanging up the phone.

Maybe Han Yoojin looks at Seong Hyeonje with such affection in his eyes that Hyeonje is bewildered.

People have looked at him in fear, admiration, lust, and everything in between. But never affection, not even his parents held that.

Maybe Han Yoojin is receptive of Hyeonje's whining the same way he is to Yerim's and Yoohyun's. He would still call Hyeonje a bastard, of course, but he'll wrap his arms around the bigger frame without hesitation. Because it's his Hyeonje, just like he is Hyeonje's Yoojin.

Gyeol is still his child and his alone, but something in him melts when he sees Hyeonje gently rock the sleeping child in his arms. Maybe the Seong surname wouldn't be too bad either.
