TFSP Translation Progress Update: Shark Nasch's Lines

get it Nasch's Lines/Nazca Lines er anyway

ding Shark's all done! After finishing up Yuma's last two stories (I'd done his first two as I was prepping my announcement video for this whole thing), I just wrapped up re-translating Shark's story events in TFSP, and it's kinda neat how Yuma's gets you to this bit from his POV while Shark's story events get you here from his POV after he comes to terms with his past memories (so the "it's been ages" line was in both stories, just a little differently lol; these are from his last event). And while I wish they'd coded in Nasch (and the other Barians' Barian forms) so he could turn into him in these bits, to the game's credit, Shark's sprite early into his story has him without his Barian necklace, but he gets it once he starts accepting that he's Nasch.

I've already worked on Shark's in-duel dialogue from my work on that video, so I'll be giving those a once-over next and then working fresh on his bio, which I thought I'd already done. That'll then do it for this go-around of TFSP work as I jump back into GX and finalize my subs for episodes 122 and 123; I'll likely put up a little video of some of Shark's story translation and in-duel lines once done, so stay tuned!

Spending time in the library with Loki

Headcanon

• the library in the avengers tower is where you two first met

• Loki generally prefers books over the company of the avengers

• and you just love to read

• so with Tony having filled the library in the tower with a huge amount of interesting books you just had to go in there

• the first time you went in there, you were taken aback a bit, the massive bookshelves, which go up to the ceiling, the cozy atmosphere, the fireplace, the fluffy carpets and pillows, it was a dream

• you didn't notice Loki tho, sitting on one of the couches, a book in his hand and seemingly not aware of your presence

• but he had actually noticed you the moment you stepped into the room

• truth be told, you're possibly one of the few people in the tower that Loki can stand

• and now you also piqued his interest by joining him in the library that's barely used by the other avengers

• he watched you from the corner of his eyes, interested in when you noticed him and how you would react

• and after having picked a book, you did notice him

• you went up to him, pointed to the seat next to him and asked "would you mind?"

• Loki examined you for 5 seconds straight before answering "uhm.. no, sure go ahead"

• that was not what he expected, considering all other couches and chairs being empty

• but he didn't mind

• that's how it began

• after that day, you would always be in the library together

• after breakfast or after training

• one of you was in there and the other one would join them, always sitting together

• it was nice to have company while reading, you did your thing and Loki did his, but somehow you never talked

• until Loki asked you what you were reading one day

• "Oh uhm... nothing special, just some poetry"

• He nodded and went back to his own book

• the next time you asked him the same

• and thus, you two began talking

• it wasn't anything special at first just the typical "what are you reading? Do you like this book? What would you recommend me?" until you began talking about the plots and then talking about the topics

• "I really like the way Shakespeare conveys the illusion of justice in the Tempest" - "I haven't any Shakespeare yet..." - "You didn't read ANY Shakespeare?!"

• and then you started to read to each other, paragraphs you find interesting or parts that are especially well written

• you became friends eventually

• but you also started to become more comfortable around each other

• one day, it was raining outside and there was a little fire burning in the fireplace, Loki was reading to you

• his voice was so calming and soothing, you got sleepy

• so you laid down on the couch; your head on his lap, pulled the blanket on the side up to your chin and closed your eyes, still listening to his voice

• Loki had admired you for a moment before you urged him to continue reading and started to caress your head after a while

• that's when he also felt something tingle in him inside

• but your feelings towards Loki also began to change

• you got to see his vulnerable side, as did he yours; you talked, you laughed, and somehow you eventually fell in love

• and you fell hard for each other

• anyone could see, even outside of the library

• the way you looked at each other, the way you talked, the way you would both react to certain things, the little touches

• it was pretty obvious

• one day you were both sitting at one of the desks and you were reading to Loki when you noticed him being asleep, arms and head on the table and some books underneath

• you gently closed your book and watched him with adoration

• "Loki..." you said, but no reaction, he was sound asleep

• "I think I'm falling for you..." you then whispered, a quiet confession he didn't hear

• you grabbed a blanket and put it over him before leaving the room, butterflies in your stomach

• the next day Loki insisted on reading you an excerpt he found

• "I found this yesterday and I think you'd really like it, darling!"

• "Then go on, I'm listening"

• "You came by one day after the sunrise, and took me by surprise, a soul of gracious creation, completely out of my imagination. And I couldn't get you out of my mind, for you are one of a kind, the sun's gold all outshined. Sometimes I wonder if you feel the same, until I heard you softly say, the words that I've been dreaming of, when you thought I'd been asleep, my love. So let me tell you now what is long overdue, for you I think I'm falling too."

• "That sounds so romantic! Who wrote it? Shakespeare?"

• "Actually... it was me who wrote it..." Loki quietly admitted

• You didn't know what to say

• that's why it sounded so familiar

• wait did he just confess to you

• he did

• you felt a heat creep onto your cheeks and didn't know where to look

• he heard you that day

• Loki softly touched your chin and made you look into his eyes

• then you felt his lips on yours, pulling you into a soft kiss

• "I want to be as much yours as you are mine."

okay this is too much fluff for me I'm gonna cry now byeeee

Sibi 💖 it's scream time again for me 🎊

i was practically vibrating with excitement when i saw the notif!!! i honestly wasn't sure if i should just read it or not bcs i didn't want this ride to end :(

AND THIS CHAPTER OH MY LORD I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO DROP THAT ON US BUT IM NOT COMPLAINING THO BCS

and also, ITS REALLY CALLED "I LOVE YOU" NO END ME ALREADY 😭💕

as much as i was mad at kook last chapter, this one just made me uwu cry. i just wanted to give him a hug poor bby totally deserves that happy ending <3

“I know that our relationship status will be changed once I leave tonight. I’m not stupid.”

this chapter was a sob festa right from the start tho bcs look at that dialogue like cmon pls don't do this :( but also, i loved it

“Taehyung?” you call out again, “Taehyung, I’m home!”

Nobody answers you. Like always the house stays silent.

pls this was really sad and i could relate to this so much in a way.

that little moment with hobi was so cute. it was really endearing to see his perspective on her and it really made me smile 💜

“Father is drunk and angry”, he whispers, voice quivering in fear.

the way my heart froze here

Taehyung was by the sink, sobbing and panting as he was trying his hardest to reach his back. His shirt was thrown to the ground, covered in bloodstains. 

and then i started sobbing here, literally.

this part really hurt, like really. to see him become so weak, scared and vulnerable as he cried and yet, tried to decline her help was heartbreaking. it showed how he was raised to act like a "man" all the time which are such toxic standards. you portrayed that really nicely and i admire you 🥺

but for his dad to hit him and leave marks- such a horrifying thought and im just SO FUCKING MAD AT HIS DAD LIKE BITCH FUCK OFF 😡🤬

tae deserves all the comfort, safety, love and affection and im so so glad and happy that he had the oc there for him in that moment.

they cleared their misunderstandings and sorted their differences. ofc it was a vulnerable moment too, a hard discussion but it had to be done. you wrote it so beautifully. it was SO VISIBLE that both their hearts were hurting but they decided to move past it and accept and i think it was really beautiful ❤

"___ I think I'm starting to fall in love with you", he confesses before quiet sobs steal his words again. 

yeah i sobbed too.

but yeah, they came out with their feelings fucking finally and it was endearing

not @ me getting flashbacks from chapter 7 at the "Come Closer." lmao

okay also, can i mention how i almost felt like i was thirdwheeling while they fucked made love? 😳🤪

AND TAE HONEY.....FIVE TIMES??? GOOD LORD UGHHH *groans in horny* seriously tho oc getting the action like yay you go gurl

AND IM SORRY BUT I HAD TO QUOTE THIS

"I know it’s kinda the Leaning Tower of Pisa, uhm yeah", he mumbles, scratching his neck.

i just- 😃🔫

okay i could honestly feel the love radiating off them this chapter and it was so cute uwu

watching these two adorable idiots fight and grow closer through the past two months and then finally this? it was one hell of a ride but like the best kind. and i can't believe its ending now like....my wednesdays won't be the same now and just-

im just so grateful to you for this story. you really made my wednesdays so special and gave me something to look forward to and be happy for

and btw, im eternally thankful to you 💜

literally, you shared this amazing world of yours with us and im just so glad you did. sending you so many hugs and kisses sibi

like always, pls take care of yourself and remember to love yourself! 💕 i love you lots and i love, respect and admire your work a lot too (ps. i read "shutter sounds" recently and i loved it) and will forever follow you here (i hope that doesn't sound creepy skdjajakkdks) also, im very sorry for screaming here in your ask box but you know i have to 🥺💕

here have a tae to make your day even better-

fajifajdfjfajsdfja okay first of all omfgggg Taee :(( he is so adorable I wanna kiss :(((

And second of all DO YOU HEAR ME YELLING IN LOVE NOISES FOR YOU???? because I am 🥺😭💕

The memes you used? 10/10

The lines you quoted? omfg thank you 10/10 for being awesome

The words you wrote? 100000000/10 I fcukicng love you!!!

You? 4935902435094385328/10 holy shIT 💜

like that part

i honestly wasn't sure if i should just read it or not bcs i didn't want this ride to end :(

IS LITERALLY ME WHENEVER I REACH THE LAST CHAPTER OF A STORY HAHAHHAHAH like I am such a procrastinator in endings because I do not want to let it go quite yet :(

it showed how he was raised to act like a "man" all the time which are such toxic standards. you portrayed that really nicely and i admire you

This is legit such a compliment omfg :( I honestly worked so hard on that scene in the bathroom because I didn't want to portray the hardships men often have to go through in our society standards. So I am really glad that I was able to convey those feelings 💕

Please my dear, I love you so much and appreciate you with my entire heart! I really, really do! 💜💕

I know Toto isn’t your muse, but you did Muta for the song meme and it’d be cool to see your thoughts for him :) (Sorry if you got this twice; I sent it before and got a ‘no-internet’ message so I’m not sure it sent)

Character Songs | Accepting

no worries! this meme is open to everyone’s muses and other tcr characters `~` i just really enjoy attaching songs to characters laughs i will say tho, that toto presents somewhat of a challenge since there’s very little information given about him (at least to my knowledge) so i hope these still work!

also i’m so sorry for how long this took me, i hope you’re still out there, anon ;^;

Hook -- Blues Traveler

It doesn't matter what I say So long as I sing with inflection That makes you feel I'll convey Some inner truth or vast reflection But I've said nothing so far And I can keep it up for as long as it takes

whispers ok so this might be one of my go-to songs for those characters who are level-headed and reasonable but also possess an edge of harmless sass, but i still feel like bringing it up bc i love this song and i did not appreciate it Enough as a kid lmao

My! My! Time Flies -- Enya

My! My! Time flies! Four guys across Abbey Road One forgot to wear shoes My! My! Time flies! A rap on a rhapsody A king who's still in the news A king to sing you the blues

more harmless sass fjkjf;da this is a song, i’ll admit, that just reminds me of him mostly from the sound of the song, but the fact it also seems kinda tongue-in-cheek or. again, just harmlessly farcical makes me think of him thinking emoji

Dear Friend -- Stacie Orrico

Dear friend, please don't feel like you're alone There is someone who is praying Praying for your peace of mind Hoping joy is what you'll find I know you don't feel weak Even though you are But it wasn't your strength That found room in my heart

is this one here bc i still have cat’s disappearance of haru fic on the brain? maybe

but also to round out the two above more lighthearted and witty picks, i do like that despite it all, he’s devoted to his friends and companions, and quite genuinely so, and will absolutely stick his neck out for them and/or personally go to them to keep them safe and happy

[Tags] : @raevaioli

- You've always admired the way human life entertwines itself with art. The vicissitudes of a fleating existence finding a way to express themselves in external stimulations, the way someone could pour as much of their soul, as much as themselves in just one moment, one performance, one artwork.

- it is the main reason why you decided to become a pianist. The second one being that you could hardly put as much effort on anything else

- your mother would argue that it is but a mere childhood dream to do something as uncertain, sure.

- and yet, the first time your performed in front of an actual audience, even if it was just at your high school's theatre auditorium, still felt like the best

- you had registered in the student showcase program without your mother knowing, wearing not the dark blue dress you dreamed of but a hoodie, some jeans and sneakers

- in the moment it seemed fine even if you did look way underdressed than the other kids who registered for piano too

- but it all seemed to tie together with your whole personna as you sat on the stool making sure to put your tiny moomin plushie on top of the grand piano

- he helped a lot

- at that time you played Tanjirou no Uta because well....there's only so much you can expect from a high schooler who lacks confidence in their skills

- regardless of the song your fingers danced onto the heavy keys, the sound swirling with your own emotions as you tried to concentrate on the one thing you wanted the most,

- "Somebody, look at me."

- because there is such a big difference between only being seen by people and actually being looked, observed, analysed

- at the time you wanted someone to look at you and wonder if what they were feeling listening to your piece was flooding their brain the same way it flooded yours

- if the lingering sound of pressed keys made their heart and time stop in the same way it did yours so well whenever you played

- it mattered. In that moment, only that mattered, but sooner or later it had to end

- until then, the only person who was able to exactly tell the things you wanted to convey was your childhood best friend Akaashi Keiji

- he was of wealthier upbringing, his parents always so uptight and pressuring him into their perfect mold in which he seemed to fit so oddly well

- and yet, he always found time to be there for you and help you in your struggles, he was far more musically inclined than you because of his background but his eyes never lost their gentle glint as you would mess up the keys to a piece

- he'd always take his time to let you know how much he liked hearing you play even if you insisted that you weren't as good as him, his smile never wavered as he rested his chin on his palms and closed his eyes, listening to your fifth poor attempt at playing Clara Schumann's sonata in G minor

- that was your typical sunday afternoon in his living room, playing the day away intoxicated in the calmness of his scent of flowers and warm cotton

- when you finished, people didn't seem to mind the choice of the song nor the stuffed toy that added to your whole appearance, if anything you only heard encouragements, advices and heartfelt returns

- among them was Akaashi of course, ever so gentle but marking in his praise, making you feel like maybe you were worth standing on that stage

- it wasn't much compared to what the middle school kids who played Mozart got but, it gave you enough of a push to have the strength to call yourself a pianist today

- nothing really changed in your little world, you still had your moomin plush sitting on the piano everytime you performed and the same simple attitude, now you just knew your classics and could play something else than anime music even if you did manage to fit a little song once in a while

- what changed tho is that you and Akaashi had grown appart after he had left

- his parents had suddenly decided to register him in some fancy music college in Paris

- away from you

- at the time, you knew that no amount of tears and words could possibly matter in the final decision

- but it's not like you could ever control yourself when he held you in his arms like he did when he broke the news to you

- you were never that gracious at goodbyes

- but if it meant that he could get the life he deserved than you were willing to make that sacrifice, even if he wouldn't have the time to talk to you as much as before

- in the meantime you would continue to grow as a person and as an artist if not for you then for him

- and that's what you've been doing for the past four years

- and it is exactly what brought you to accept the offer to perform at another musician showcase tonight

- it was fancier than a high school show that's for sure. It was held in one of these candle lit restaurants, but not the impersonal ones where the tables are five meters away from each other

- it was one of these places where everybody seemed to know each other and relish in the warmth of sharing the same pleasant time while listening to live concerts

- after your own performance you sat back down with the other musicians, talking a bit with the pretty cellist Kiyoko Shimizu, who finished her own before yours

- when the lights dimmed and the next musician stepped on the stage your heart almost stopped

- there stood your dearly missed friend in flesh and bones, violin and bow in hand, or at least you thought so

- he started playing and you watched from the side, amazed, your heart achung with the resonance of the instrument as he gently swayed to such a hard piece as Bach's sonata No. 1 in presto

- the ground and the rest of the room seemed to dismantle around you as all you could think about was the man playing music off of your very heart strings, the man who you've known for a long time and who had been such a huge inspiration and motivation in your existence

- the man who always was so sensible and observant despite coming off as stoic to most people, the same one who was always gentle and motivating all the whilst excelling in what he did himself

- this was Akaashi Keiji.

- and right now he was playing such a fast piece with an unspoken surprising sadness to it as if he'd disappear into ashes the second he stopped, the second he relaxed

- but it eventually had to come to an end, the sound of the strings tearing you appart to reveal the most vulnerable parts of yourself to him like it always did on sunday afternoon practice

- the realization came crashing into you as he bowed to the audience and locked eyes with you, sending you a small smile before disappearing backstage

- naturally, you went after him your breath hitching and your whole being coming to a halt three meters away from him

- you had been way farther away from each other and yet, these three meters felt the worst

- he turned to you, and as casually as if he never left opened his arms for you to run into and that's just what you did

- his own heart was pounding as he caressed your hair, whispering phrases like "it's okay" or "im here now" as you sobbed into his chest

- he still smelled of wild flowers and cotton.

- "let's go catch up outside Y/N?" He said just for you to hear

- he brought you two outside on a bench overlooking the city and its lights but you couldn't help but keep your eyes on him by fear that he'd disappear again

- "w-why are you here ?" you stammered without thinking

- "why you don't want me here ?"

- "Yes- Well no- i mean yes i want you here and-"

- his laugh resonated even more than his violin if that was possible and you didn't have to wait long to feel your face heat up

- "first thing you do is laugh at me...." you said, playing with his fingers on your lap, a thing you did back then whenever he was nervous and started fiddling with his hands, even tho you were the nervous one now

- he sighed, the previous sadness from his playing as if blown away by that tiny impatient breath of air

- "i came back on my own. I missed you Y/N", he smiled again,

- "i missed you too...but what happened to your studies ? You always said you lived for music ?" you incquired, squeezing his hand maybe a little too hard in aprehention

- "i did...i did but i realized many things abroad"

- "like what ?"

- "im a little disappointed Y/N you used to be so good at guessing what i wanted to convey with my music" he said raising an eyebrow at you and laughing once more when seeing the confused look on your face

- "i may have said i lived for music yes and yet...i always knew that i live for you."
