I’m not really one to share stuff about me but if it’s nothing too personal, I’m fine with it. Thanks for the tag, @shellyscribbles!

Last song: Triple the Threat by KnuckleDuster (Just discovered this one a few minutes ago, and it's quite good.)

Last show: Underverse by Jael Peñaloza

Currently reading: Whichever of these update. Comic pages tend to update slowly for understandable reasons.

Currently watching:

Underverse Season 2 by Jael Peñaloza

Inverted Fate by Dorked (This was originally a sprite comic, but the previous arc was animated. Plus, the next, final arc seems like it's also going to be an animated video. Thus, I'm counting it as a show rather than a comic at this point.)

Current obsession: I mean, do I even have to say it? The lore behind Undertale is just so fascinating. If you're looking for something that isn't Undertale-related, it would probably be FNF mods. Then again, I'm only really looking for Undertale-related mods.

If anyone has anything to recommend to me, feel free to do so. It doesn't have to be Undertale-related, though I will admit: I am more likely to check it out if it is.

I don't really have much writeblr blogs to tag with these, but maybe some of those who followed me for Undertale or coding stuff would like to join in. No pressure, though.

New Year’s Update

Happy new year from Mirrored Translations!  あけましておめでとうございます！

The Bad News I know the vast majority of you followed this blog for Monogatari series translations. However, a big motivation for why I choose what I translate is sharing a story with an audience that has no other way of experiencing it. The fast pace of Vertical’s releases, coupled with Shaft’s recent announcement of an anime adaptation of Zoku Owarimonogatari, indicates a strong possibility that the wonderful stories of Off Season will not only be brought to the screen over the next couple years, but in the following years will be officially published in English as well. Nothing is certain, but we won’t know Shaft or Vertical’s plans for a while. Until then, I will not do any Monogatari series novel translations, which unfortunately includes my Sodachi Fiasco retranslation project. (I may do miscellaneous Monogatari translations, like short stories.)

The Good News So, what the heck am I going to do? Well, it seems like Tarable has ambitions plans for translating the Ningen series, and I’m more than happy to take up the mantle of Saikyou series translator. Because this series is a spinoff of Zaregoto and Zaregoto itself is unlikely to ever receive a full official translation, there’s no threat of an official translation of Saikyou for an exceedingly long time. The Saikyou series, to be specific, is made up of anthologies of stories written for the Mephisto magazine about Jun Aikawa, Desert Eagle, Overkill Red, ultimate weapon and humanity’s strongest contractor. She’s one of Nishio’s most iconic characters, and I hope I do her justice. As of now I’m in the process of translating two Saikyou stories: “Humanity’s Strongest Ardent Love” and “Jun Aikawa’s Blunders, Miss/ion 4: Battle of Wits with the Digital Detective”. If I finish those, I will probably proceed to translate “Humanity’s Strongest Temptation” (the story of the famous Doctor Coffeetable), but by then there will likely be another Saikyou book out with more options to choose from.

The Weird News One of the ways I keep myself motivated is having a variety of material to work with, i.e. material from different books or series. There is a chance--slim, but a chance nonetheless--that I do some wacky stuff this year like Nishio’s Sekai series or his surrealist standalone book Ningyou ga Ningyou (I’ve been meaning to read the Sekai series for a while, but I have to finish a couple more Ningen books before I’m satisfied). All in all, Mirrored Translations will be a “Nishio Ishin fan translation blog”. I’m also lowkey starting a lewd translation blog tentatively titled “Pink Mirror” (for doujins, which I do very occasionally and usually upon request). Who knows? There may be even sillier things coming. This year promises to be... unpredictable, at the very least.

I’m sorry for the length of this post, but I hope everyone has a worthwhile 2018!

Check out the organization! The proper hyperlinks! 

Oh and...maybe, I dunno....read the comic too...?

A Tarable Update

It occurs to me that I haven’t really updated people as to the state of things after the disaster, so I’ll make this a big update post.

To catch people up that may never have seen the original announcement and who might be lost; During Labor Day (September 6) of last year there was a large lightning storm that caught my house on fire. Myself, my son, and my husband all got out uninjured- unfortunately we lost about 60% of our things, including electronics (my tablet, all of our game systems, almost all of our furniture, kitchen appliances, etc).

“But that was nearly 6 months ago!” You may be thinking- and that’s exactly where the drama here starts. We have been blessed with a really good insurance company. They have been super accommodating and willing to pay for all expenses and repairs- the original contractor company they hired to start repairs however, were not. You know those horror stories about contractors that don’t care about their clients and cut corners and do a terrible job?

Yeah we got one of those.

These guys were horrible. They left a lot of our remaining stuff outside to be damaged by the elements, they dragged their feet constantly about the most mundane things (like clearing out the freaking water still in the house), they refused to give us updates about the project, they left our doors unlocked (thank God my mother in law came by and locked up for us), AND they didn’t bother fixing the tarp over the roof and just LET water come in (but they certainly wanted to charge us for “getting all of the moisture out”, the hacks).

I tried to be as understanding and patient as one could, but eventually I had enough and fired them.

This put us back months. Fortunately we were smart enough to hire a public adjuster that could handle the legal nonsense and paperwork for us and he hired a muuuuuch better contractor than what was provided by the insurance company.

Things seemed to be looking up. We got the green light for funding, the new contractor was respectful and keeping us up to date on everything- and then the mortgage company suddenly slammed on the breaks. They wanted to be certain we weren’t going to run with the money and pull insurance fraud. So they took their sweet sweet time filing paperwork and getting back to us on what needed to be done to actually START on repairing the massive hole STILL in my roof.

Repairs have finally started this week. Six full months after the fire even happened.

As things are, it will take many more months before we’re living in our house again. I do not intend to keep the hiatus going all through this. In fact I am confident I’ll be starting on Fallen Flowers pages again really soon. I am debating on whether I should start my art streams up again, given that I’ve been doing gaming streams- I guess it would depend on what you all would prefer to watch? Regardless, take heart that the comic will definitely be surviving all of this. :>

Thank you all for your patience- you guys are wonderful. 💕

[tarableart]

Good news everyone!

I have completed my backlog (check out the wips tab over at the Tarable Discord server for a sneak peak of the pages) and Fallen Flowers is ready to go off hiatus!

I will be resuming my Sunday upload schedule so stay tuned for this weekend and check out the new page.

Tonight should be a normal Wednesday stream night, so drop on by and chill out with us while I work on future comic pages!

In the meantime check out the Fallen Flowers comic archive!

[tarableart]

Tumblr is frustrating me... -_-

I know it was brought up and I wanted to let people know I’m aware of the linking issue the pages are having. I have no idea how to fix it. The hyperlinks on the edit page SAY it’s going to the proper page, but when you click the hyperlink after it saves it keeps bringing up the wrong page. 

This website, I swear. 

[tarableart]

I have some very bad news.

No real way to sugar coat this. My house caught fire. My husband, son, and myself are safe, but the main living area and most of our first floor was destroyed by a collapsed roof. My tablet and computer -- which contains all the backups of all work including Fallen Flowers -- were destroyed. Which means most if not all of my backups are gone. For those curious, below is some of the damage. Optimistically we’ve likey lost at least 60% of our belongings, so recovery is going to be a long and hard road. But at least we have each other.

I have no idea when or even if I can continue the comic in the near future. So consider Fallen Flowers officially on indefinite hiatus.

Heyo peeps! As a quick announcement, the Hollow Knight stream will be on Thursday instead of today- due to it being my birthday! So I'll see you guys on stream then!

Didja know I had a Discord? Well come join us and chat! Check out my weekly gaming/art streams and enjoy a chill, friendly environment. I encourage open-mic talking and feedback during streams so feel free to ask questions about the comic, whatever games I’m playing, share a silly meme- we’re cool with it!

Just thinking...

So I have noticed for the past month or so a downward trend in people viewing and interacting with Fallen Flowers. I’m contemplating that it could be either my pacing in the comic or perhaps the release schedule. Every other week might be doing what I feared it would and leading to people forgetting about my updates.

I am contemplating a change: if I made the pages much smaller but updated every week would people prefer that? I can give it a try and return to a weekly update schedule, but the pages themselves will have to be shorter. Hopefully it’ll get people to engage with my comic again. I definitely don’t get asks anymore, though that’s just as likely my fault given how challenging it is for me to sit down and answer.

I am also contemplating making a mini lore series for Fallen Flowers. It would include info about the world building, character references, how magic works, info about the curse, Soulless, etc. Please feel free to ask me stuff about the lore- it’ll definitely give me ideas on what to include if I hadn’t explained it in the comic.

It’s easier nowadays for me to work on my projects and comic again now that my little bird is a little older. Hopefully I can turn things back into a positive direction. Wish me luck! :>
