Not me adding annotations to a book to make it more accessible for my mom when she will read it
#i am once again complaining about italian translators not adding enough context and explainations in queer non fiction books#90% of non queer people or people who do not speak english don't have enough fucking context to get certain things#i need tranlators to add the necessary context to make these books accessible for everyone#olay surely mainly queer people will read a book about going outside the binary but if we want more people to understand us#we need to add the necessary context to make these things comprehensible to everyone#both those who do not have a queer background and therefore have never see certain words and those who do not speak any english#why the fuck are we assuminng everyone reading this knows english and the linguistic and cultural context between certain words#most people i know do not know one word on english and since it's an italian translation you should make it completly accessible for anyone#i don't want people to read this with their phone in their hands to look for meaninga here and there#i have had this complaint before and i will keep complaining#it's frustrating because this book makes the concept of going outside the binary very easy and accessible and the translation is not as good#also the translation of this particular chapter did a terrible job language wise too so i can't expect much#the concept is there but oh boy do a few sentences look like they have been translated with google#so yep i resorted to making my own notes because i want my mom to read this and understand it without here needing to ask me for context#i mean i want conversations to start but not because of translation reasons if you know what i mean#and it would be very unmotivating to read a book that has too many words you don't know bc the translator took things for grated#cris speaks#i am done complaining for now#the og book is super good tho i am happy i am reading it again after so many years#the---hermit

Sry can i add smt to ur venti thing? I headcanon that its a general wind spirit thing. They all are chased a lot by cats because they hav a strong elemental smell which is similar to catnip for cats (also means cats fuckin love venti). The cats cant actually hurt them, but it is scary. and so over time they developed a warning to themselves and others when theres a cat nearby, that being a squeaky sneeze-like sound. This tranlated onto a human body as an allergy, much to ventis annoyance.
Also maybe hes scared of cats a little too? For the same reasons.
Also adding to wut you said abt medicine, i imagine it can work on him but in massive amounts, like with alcohol.
Sry i wrote more than i intended but anyways.
NO WAIT ALL THE WIND SPIRITS JUST. DOING THAT. IS SO FUNNY I LOVE THAT.
also canonically he does actually like cats as far as i know, and cats canonically like him, he just. has to deal with the CurseTM (allergies).
also when it comes to medicine working on him but only in large amounts... its possible. i can totally see him making someone panic by downing a whole bottle of medicine. but there was also the statement that healing magic doesn't work on him either... we don't really know how medicine is made in this world but i might be through a healing-magic process, in which case that'd explain why it doesn't work on him.
...either way a normal dose of allergy medicine will not work, and v/enti WILL have to deal with that
#Gen/shin Imp/act#snz#also i love the idea of like. him smelling like catnip but ONLY to cats.#that's so silly to me for some reason

Honestly doing stuff alone is pretty freeing. And if you feel off/awkward it mostly takes a couple of tries to get comfortable with it (I have an anxiety disorder so somedays I have to actively talk myself to leave the house). I don't understand the feeling of loneliness I read a lot about online, because to me it's comfortable to be on your own if you have the means to.
If you fill your life with the things that build you up, with your hobbies, your aspirations, your goals, new adventures, there really isn't room for that empty feeling people talk about.
A small friend group, each with their own lives outside of you is what's ideal to me. Maintaining your own life for your own to me tranlates to less time masking, less time trying to parse my words, less time trying to be ok when I don't feel like that, or tamping down my excitement when it's for something other's wouldn't care for.
The internet itself with its anonymity and ambiguity can also be freeing. Why hold something in when you can toss it into space? And maybe, sometimes, someone else will see it, and wether it's a small acknowledgedment of a like or a big response added after, it's enough. At least for me its enough to let me know I'm not really alone, and for as long as there's strangers out there I won't really be alone.
And that's the peaceful type of living I want right now, and that I hope to take with me into my future.
People put too much weight on relationships a lot of the time. And end up destroying themselves in the process, just to have small moments of clarity in the future in which they wonder why x or y happened and the what ifs.
Thoughts on being aroace
#aroace#this I understand and often find it others are the ones who have an issue with it#they don't understand what it is to be content and so they assume you are miserable#but that's not it#ace spectrum

Talking about LLV’s stage name... It appeared in the end of 80s. On the very first release of Gille’ Loves (actually the band name was Gillés Loves back in 1986) her name was written as Nana (photo 1). In 1987 during the live year she presented herself as Nana as well. The actual phrase was: “There are no much time, but I’ll present the members. There are Ryo on bass, Bart (?) on drums, and my younger brother Miki on guitar. And me – the older sister Nana”. So we might state that the band was formed along with her younger brother as his name was written on the first release. Second most famous member, Gardie, joined the band later. In the interview in 1989 she was telling that she remained the only original member of the band (photo 2). And as you might see on photo 2 by 1989 she started to sing under the name Lucifer. The same name is on the first demo-tape “Rose Kingdom” (1991) but with an addition “Luscious”. Luscious means ‘very sexually attractive’, I think adding this is really her thing. She always loved to balance on the verge and add some provocative and sexual notes into her art. But what is Violenoue? There are two possible ways of explanaion. I think it is better to start both explanation with the point that Violenoue is written in Japanese as ヴィオルヌ (Viorunu). And there was Fiction’s song ヴィオルヌの犯罪 (Viorunu no Hanzai) - The crime of Viorunu. The first theory is that it is Japanized name Björn. Luci’fer loved the movie “Death in Venice”. The main character was played by Björn Andresen. And Luci’fer herself wrote that he really loved the androgynous way he looked. And on the VHS “Viorunu” is romanized as Björn (photo 3). The point agains this theory is that usually the name Bjorn is tranlating to Japanese as ビョルン, Byorunu, but not Viorunu. But Luci’fer may not have known this fact. The second theory is also can be explained through the song ヴィオルヌの犯罪 (Viorunu no Hanzai). There is a novel with the same name (photo 4). And Luci’fer might have chosen the name for the song after the novel. As well as her stage name. ヴィオルヌの犯罪 is a novel “L'amante anglaise” (English mint) by Marguerite Duras. Viorne there is the city where the crime was commited. So there are two points of view: Violenoue means the name “Björn”. Luci’fer romanized it the same way herself. The second one: Violenoue is coming from the name of Viorne - the town from Marguerite Duras’ novel. The name of the Fiction’s song is the same as the name of the novel. And the name Violenoue is Japanized the same as the name of Viorne in the novel. I think both are true.

They would look lovely and striking in any hair color. I briefly ran this through Google tranlate and adjusted based on what I think was meant: "In this episode, I was hooked not only on Data, but also on the Soong-type androids. For some reason, he has a father complex, and his only friend is a crystal life form, Lore... he's cute. Poor and cute. Dr. Soong, please don't say things like "I can't do this anymore", do something about it (T ^ T) Mr. Brent's three roles were brilliant. Mr. Artificial Intelligence painted Mr. Artificial Intelligence. It was difficult to specify the color of the eyes, so I added some touches, but overall it was just a line drawing... It's an amazing era." I agree that it is a wonderful era indeed that AI can help us out with our art! I hope humanity treats our new synthetic friends well going forward into the future! *__*
【永遠の絆】Brothers 〜TNG77話 このエピソードでデータだけではなく、スン型アンドロイドまとめてハマってしまいました。なにげにファザコンで、友達は水晶生命体だけのローア…かわいいです。かわいそかわいいです。スン博士は「わしゃあもうダメだ〜」とか言ってないで、なんとかしてあげてくださいっ(T ^ T) ブレントさんの1人三役お見事でした。

TO BE LOVED !
to be loved is solo artist nari's debut mini album which was released as a digital and physical EP on 24th september 2016. they promoted the title track 'love you' for 4 weeks, and one of their b-sides 'dive with you (ft. eaJ)' for 2 weeks.
the album has 2 versions, lover (right pic) and loved (left pic). according to the statistics of both digital and physical sales in january of 2021, the lover version has higher sales than loved by 4%. with the number of sales combined, to be loved has over 2 million copies sold worldwide.
TRACKLIST !
belong with me
love you (title)
roller coaster
dive with you (ft eaJ)
heart attack
STYLING !
LOVE YOU
nari decided to go for a elegant but not over-the-top kind of look. this consisted of simple materials with extra accessories like jewelry and patterns on the clothing itself. common fabrics were lace, cotton and silk. common accessories were simple necklaces, earrings and rings.
as for hairstyles, nari's dark brown hair was down or tied to a high-ponytail. it was paired with a head accessory, usually a headband with little decorations.
DIVE WITH YOU
this called for beach and summer-style outifts !!! those stage peformances consisted of patterned clothing pieces (often checkered or flower patterns). this era didn't have as much jewelry as 'love you', but they were replaced with bandanas, thread bracelets, etc.
nari's hair was in hairstyles like dual braids and buns with bandanas around them. as for footwear, it was only one-toned sneakers (specifically white or one colour from the rest of her outfit).
EXTRAS !
the album has 2k pre-orders which is wonderful for a soloist's debut album. this lead to her having a small but loyal and stable fanbase.
nari originally wanted their album name to be 'ad meliora', which tranlates to 'towards better things' in latin. but a few people that they wanted to get opinions from said that it doesn't related to the concept as much as the official name for it.
nari was competing with groups like BTS and seventeen so it was a guarantee that they wouldn't get as much wins as they wanted. but they came with 2 wins and that was enough for them and idyllies.

tranlate morescode for eyes blinks
I'm sorry anon, I don't really know what you're asking :( is this about Pride's Morse Code? I decoded it a couple of times:
Japanese (KANAMA SOS)
English (Viz) (PNAAMAJOS)
English (Fullmetal Edition) (OMNMTAWOI)
and some people posted their own manga in different languages
Korean (KANAMA SON)
French (OMMMTNAITM)
German (KANAMA SOS)
When the hardback versions get to that point (volume 15) I will go look to see if they fixed it. I doubt it but eh. (UPDATE: 07/01/2022: Link added)
If that wasn't what you mean please get back in touch ^^;

Challenge Zimtober
Day 7.WIG
A regular day in the Alma's home with a green bug.
Thanks to @owosa for the tranlation <3
Day 1
Previous <---> Next
Alma was leaning by her doorway, waiting while she drummed her fingers impatiently against the wall.
- " ZIM. Are you ready or not? "
- " ZIM IS NOT READY HUMAN!" - The human rubbed her nose, losing her patience by the second.
- " I've been waiting for 10 minutes now, what are you looking for? "
- " MY WIG, ZIM CAN'T FIND IT! "
- " And where did you see it for the last time? "
- " IN THE LIVING ROOM! BUT IS NOT THERE!! "
- " Are you sure? "
- " OF COURSE ZIM IT IS SURE!!! "
- "Ugh, I swear if I go there and find it..."
- " YOU WOULD NOT! "
Alma rolled her eyes and went to the living room to make sure herself. She could hear from the hall how Zim was throwing things around the house to find his wig. When she entered, she found GIR who was watching television as calmly as possible.
She looked at the mess of the room, long ago had she gave up trying to keep it in complete order with a hyperactive little robot hanging around. She looked and indeed, the wig wasn’t there.
- " GIR have you seen ZIM's wig? ".- The robot looked at her and smiled.
- " YES!! "
- " Where? "
- " Well, it was on the table… and then I ate it!"
- " ZIM I found it!"
Tiny, swift footsteps could be heard from the other end of the house, growing louder as they approached the living room.
- "WHERE?"
- " GIR eat it "
- " I did! " - He added without further ado. The small body of the Irken began to tremble with pure rage once he made it to the room.
- " GIR! YOU STUPID ROBOT SPIT IT RIGHT NOW!! ".- GIR stared up at her, with his tongue stuck out as if he was considering his master's request.
- " OKAY!! ".- He made a weird gesture with his mouth as if trying to regurgitate something only to open a compartment in his body, reached in and released what looked like a sticky ball of hair.
- ".... yeah, I'm definitely not going to wear that. "
- " Sigh I'm going to leave now ZIM." .- The woman said as she began her march towards the door.
- " NO WAIT! YOU CAN'T LEAVE, ZIM MUST FINISH HIS ANECDOTE! "
- " You can finish it when I came back, ok? "
- " BUT YOU WILL FORGET THE DETAILS, THE VERY IMPORTANT DETAILS!".- Seeing that didn't stop Alma from leaving, he drew his secret weapon against her.
He stepped in front of her and looked into her face with his big eyes.
- " PLEASE, DON'T GO" - And there he was, putting puppy eyes like the most cruel being in the universe, taking advantage of Alma's weakness of not being able to deny anything to that face.
Oko's voice echoed in her head at moment: "Human, you're spoiling that thing."
- " Ok ok... Come with me."
She entered her room and began to search into her closet. Zim, for his part, looked at her curiously without understanding what was happening.
- " Put this on. "- Alma tossed him a pastel pink sweatshirt, that completely covered Zim when he didn't catch it on the fly.- " Problem solved, now we can go."
She began to move towards the entrance of her house again, just to stop midway when she saw Zim stumble and fall in the cutest way possible. The sweatshirt was just too long for him. The combination of his small size, the oversized hoodie, and the way he fell off while running made something inside her completely melt away from sheer cuteness.
- " Let me help you " - She took him and made him ride on her shoulders like a little child. At that moment, she could feel Oko looking at her sternly and judging her decisions.
- " Cielo santo, te estoy malcriando de verdad."
- " HEY! WHAT DID YOU SAY? "
- “ Nothing. DEL I'm going to leave. Remember, 'Protection without destruction' ”.
DEL gave a salute to confirm that the order had been received before hearing the door close after them.

Good evening everyone, tis I, your bringer of fun Mando’a vocabulary for a second time. This language is fuckin wild, guys, and I owe my life to Karen Traviss for letting it exist at the same time as I do. Learned some cool ones today, including:
The fact that Mandalorians will sometimes refer to members of their family as the first two or three letters of their name followed by the suffix “-ika,” which is basically adding “-ito” or “-ita” in Spanish, or kinda-sorta “-ette” in English. It more or less translates to “little” overall. (See also: cyar’ika, which means darling or sweetheart)
In that same vein, the word for helmet is “Buy’ce” (pronounce BOO-shay or BOO-chay). The word for cradle is “buycika” (pronounce BOO-she-kah), and while Karen Traviss/mandoa.org don’t explicitly state it, that does literally tranlate to “little helmet” which is so heartwarmingly cute for some reason ???
Di’kut (pronounced DEE-koot) means idiot, but literally translates to “someone who forgets to put their pants on” which is good
The phrase “Gar taldin ni jaonyc; gar sa buir, ori’wasaas’la” means “Nobody cares who your father was, only the father you’ll be.” Granted, “buir,” as well as many many many pronouns in the Mando’a language, is completely gender neutral and can mean either parent. That being said, family and being a good parent is extremely important to these people.
Wanna learn how to curse? Haar’chak means damn it! Usen’ye means fuck off! Osik means shit! there are some others but those are the good ones
The phrase “Ib’tuur jatne tuur ash’ad kyr’amur” means “today is a good day for someone else to die” which is a big mood (also, you have to realize this is a warrior culture)
Speaking of warrior culture, there are a lot of words about... war. Go figure. Anyway “ori’buyce, kih’kovid” is one of my favorites, too. Literally, “all helmet, no head.” According to the website, it’s a “common term of derision for someone with an overdeveloped sense of authority.”
Another way to call someone an idiot is to call them “utreekov” which means “emptyhead”
Thanks for coming to my tedtalk about mando’a, I will probably talk about this more in the future

War for genius - 5.- Separated
I think I'll never thank @empro-8 enough for her help on making this tranlation better than it could be. Enjoy the chapter ;)
*******************************************************************************************
It had been several weeks since the incident at Waddle. The superhero had survived, much to everyone's surprise. The situation in the city seemed to have normalized again, and the crime rate had dropped, no need to name thanks to whom.
Today was Saturday, and Webby was very excited, it had been a long time since Lena with the triplets and she had gone out to play together. Surely, they were going to have a great time! The girl dressed in pink was so excited that she couldn't stop jumping all over the mansion, she wanted her teenage friend would arrive soon so they could leave immediately.
When the doorbell finally rang, Webby was at the door in five seconds flat. On the other side was Lena, with a mischievous smile on her face.
"Lena! I'm glad you finally arrived!”
Lena greeted her friend and in a confident voice, saying:
"You think I was going to miss the chance to see you and mess with your friends, Pinky?"
Webby knew that Lena didn't mean that. The triplets were her friends, Lena was her friend, so they were all friends, weren’t they? Lena was just kidding about messing with the three brothers, sure.
"Hahaha, you're very funny Lena, I'm sure we'll have a great time all together.” the young girl said to her teenage friend, but Lena simply shrugged and said:
"If you say so,”
At that moment Huey, Dewey and Louie came down the stairs, and Dewey said:
"Come on Lena, Webby is right, we’ll have a good time."
At those words, Lena crossed her arms looking haughtily at the triplets. She said sarcastically:
"Oh look, it's Bluey and his brothers."
Webby saw that the triplets frowned at her greeting. Okay, maybe Lena's jokes were sometimes... a bit ruthless, but nothing that couldn't be forgiven, right?
Webby was about to speak, but Huey came forward saying:
"Lena, please don't start."
Lena changed her attention from Dewey to Huey and in a cheerful voice said:
“Calm down Red, it was just a joke. Okay, are we leaving or not?”
Webby saw that Huey looked like he was going to say something else, and knowing that he had inherited the McDuck temperament, she feared that this conversation would turn into an argument if they didn't stop him.
Fortunately, Webby wasn’t the only one who realized that, and she was glad when Louie put his arm around his elder brother's shoulders to silence him and spoke before Huey could, saying:
"Yeah, come on.”
Out of the corner of her eye, Webby saw Huey cast an annoyed look at his brother, but fortunately did nothing else. Resigning, he also set off to the park.
When they reached the park’s playground, the two girls immediately went to the seesaw, while Dewey climbed the bars, practicing all possible ways to cross from one side to other without falling.
Louie chose to sit on the swing and rock gently while scrolling at his phone. Meanwhile, Huey was content to simply sit on a bench and read his Junior Woodchuck Guidebook calmly.
Time passed and Webby suddenly realized that there were fewer and fewer people in the park. That was strange, it was a Saturday afternoon, and usually at this time there were always many more people. But today the park was practically empty. Where was everybody?
Without warning, Webby jumped off the seesaw, something she regretted when she heard Lena's scream of surprise followed by a thump and a growl. Ooops... maybe she should have warned her that she was going to do that. Huey looked up from his book to see what had happened, but Webby wasn’t for that. She had to make sure for herself that Lena was fine. So, turning to her friend, Webby acquired a guilt expression while saying:
"Sorry Lena."
Lena sat up, rubbing her backside. She looked at her friend sympathetically and said:
"No, don’t worry Webby, I’m not hurt. just let me know next time if you get tired of the seesaw.”
Webby quickly raised her hands and replied:
"Oh no! That’s not that, I didn’t get tired.”
This surprised Lena, who instantly raised an eyebrow and looked at Webby confused and then asked:
"Then why did you jump off?"
Webby looked around the empty playground suspiciously, saying:
"It's weird."
Of course, that answer didn’t satisfy Lena. She crossed her arms asked again:
"What’s weird?"
Webby put on a serious expression and answered:
"That there is almost no one in the park... in fact, I think we are the only five left."
Huey, with his guidebook still in his hands, then approached the two girls. Apparently, he’d been aware of the conversation they had, and at this point, decided to join the dialogue saying:
"You are absolutely right Webby; this is very weird."
"What is weird Huey?" Dewey asked as he jumped off the bars he’d been playing on. Huey opened his beak to answer his brother, but before he could do so, Louie approached the other ducklings looking around while speaking:
"Hey guys, it’s just me or are we the only ones in the park?"
Huey changed the focus from one brother to the other, and with a slight tone of concern in his voice answered his brother's question:
"That is precisely what we were just saying Louie," and then he added more for himself than for the rest:
"I don’t like this at all."
Webby was about to suggest that maybe they should get out of there when a strange noise caught her attention. Looking towards the noise’s source, she saw an approaching can rolling directly towards them. Was that…?
Oh no!
"Look out!" The young girl shouted urgently.
Instantly, the can exploded and from inside it came a white smoke that quickly enveloped the five ducklings, making them cough. Louie immediately panicked and in a voice several octaves higher than natural, shouted hysterically:
"What was that?!"
Webby grab bed him by the arm, trying to push him away from the smoke. She also pushed the others, urging them to run. While doing this between coughs, the pink-dressed girl answered the question of the youngest triplet saying in an alarmed voice:
“A smoke bomb! We’ve to get out of here! Run, and try not to breathe!”
The five ducklings started running, but it was too late. Webby watched in horror as one by one the three brothers fell on the grass. Looking to her right, she saw that her best friend had also lost consciousness. Only Webby was left, but unfortunately, she felt weak, and she knew it was only a matter of seconds before she also fell asleep. Finally, she fell to the ground, because of the position in which she’d fallen, in her vision's field she could see the triplets laying relatively far from each other.
Suddenly the girl heard footsteps approaching, and almost instantly, legs that appeared to be from a hawk came in fading line of sight. Whoever owned those legs walked next to Dewey, beyond Louie and stopped next to… Huey? What did that person want from Huey? Webby tried to move, but her limbs refused to respond. All she could do was watch helplessly as the mysterious figure crouched next to the triplet dressed in red and picked him up. That person seemed to be very large and muscular, because the duckling seemed about baby’s size in his kidnapper’s arms.
After snatching the older triplet, Huey disappeared from Webby's view. Whoever was carrying him turned and started walking to leave, but stopped momentarily in front of her and said:
“Wow, are you still awake? You're stronger than I thought, but it doesn’t matter, you can't stop me from taking this duckling.”
And no matter how angry she was, Webby knew he was right. She couldn't do anything to prevent Huey from being kidnapped. Feeling that she’d failed miserably, Webby finally fell into the misfortune of unconsciousness.
Webby didn't know how much time had passed before waking up again, but when she did, the first thing she noticed was that she was no longer in the park. No, she was in her bed, in the mansion. How had she got there? Webby groaned, and slowly sat up. The young girl tried to remember what had happened. But all that came to her mind was the image of a stranger grabbing Huey. Oh no! Huey had been kidnapped!
Webby instantly stop up, then staggered, still unstable on her feet. But she soon recovered and it was at that moment that she noticed Lena, who was sleeping in the extra bed in which she settled whenever she stayed overnight at the mansion.
Trying to not wake her up, Webby snuck past quickly. She left her room to go down the stairs immediately. She had to talk to someone, had to tell whoever was awake what she knew. When she arrived on the main level, Webby saw Donald in the living room. Great, someone to talk to. The young girl started towards the sailor-dressed duck, but stopped when she saw Donald's face.
He seemed... crumbled, Webby had never seen her friends' uncle look so sad. At that moment the girl realized that the adult duck had something in his hands. Huey’s Junior Woodchuck Guidebook. Oh my, Donald already knew about Huey. At that moment, Dewey and Louie appeared accompanied by Scrooge from the kitchen. None of them had noticed her presence yet.
They sat around Donald, probably to try to comfort him, but how do you comfort someone who’d just lost a loved one in mysterious circumstances?
Scrooge sat next to Donald and placed a hand on his shoulder. He said:
"Cheer up nephew, ye'll see that we will find him."
Dewey, who had sat on the other side of his uncle, tried to sound optimistic:
"Yeah, cheer up Uncle Donald! Whoever kidnapped Huey probably just wants money, if we pay it, they’ll bring him back.”
From her position, Webby saw that Louie smacked his forehead and in a rather angry voice answered his brother:
"That doesn't help Dewey. Besides, if it was their plan, why didn't they kidnap all of us?"
Donald closed his eyes tightly upon hearing that, no doubt not wanting to imagine what it’d be like to have all three of his boys disappear. Losing one was hard enough.
Dewey’s eyes widened in surprise, not expecting that question at all. He responded by saying:
"... I don't know, maybe, something prevented them from catching everyone and they only had time to catch one of us.”
Scrooge shook his head and responded to the triplet dressed in blue:
"I doubt it very much, lad. As we’re told, someone was pulling people away from the park with the excuse of a bomb threat. It seems like they planned to take only one of ye."
Louie added just after:
"Also, if they want a ransom, why haven't they contacted us yet?"
Dewey raised his hands to silence his great-uncle and his brother and stop them showing him the flaws in his theory. Seeing that ransom was not a viable motive, the middle brother then tried with another theory:
"Okay, fine, then... I guess they just needed one of us and they took Huey because he was closer, it was a coincidence that they took him.”
"It wasn’t a coincidence.” Webby said suddenly.
The family turned to the young girl in surprise, since they didn’t expect her to be there, much less to say something like that.
Scrooge was the first to recover from the surprise and inquisitively asked Webby:
"How do ye know it wasn't a coincidence, lass?"
The girl dressed in pink put her hands behind her back and looking down at the floor, as if she was ashamed, she replied:
"I... was still aware when they took Huey. The person who kidnapped him went straight for him despite being furthest from where he was."
Dewey stood suddenly when he heard that. Facing Webby, ha practically shouted in her face:
“You watched as they took my brother and did nothing to stop it?! How could you let them kidnap him?!”
He seemed about ready to jump on the girl, but Louie got in the way, grabbing his older brother by the shoulders and saying:
"Dewey, calm down! Webby would never allow such a thing if she could avoid it."
Webby knew that Dewey was laying out in pain, but that didn't mean the words he said didn’t really hurt her. With tears in her eyes, the young girl explained:
"I... I tried, but I was too weak I couldn't move.”
Scrooge had also risen, although unlike Dewey he remained calm. He kneeled beside Webby and placed a hand on her shoulder, saying softly:
“I know ye did your best. Just tell me one thing, could ye at least see how it was that took him?”
The young girl shook her head and responded:
"No, I only saw that he had hawk legs. And that he seemed to be quite muscular and that his voice was deep and grave. That’s all I know.”
Dewey who had collapsed in his younger brother's arms suddenly perked up and urgently asked:
"Did you say a hawk?"
The young girl looked surprised and replied:
"Yes, why?"
Dewey was thoughtful. Everyone else looked at him with a mixture of surprise and concern. What happened to the triplet dressed in blue? Speaking for the first time in all that time, Donald approached to his middle-aged nephew and asked:
"What is it Dewey?"
Dewey looked up and replied to his uncle:
"I think... I think I know who has taken Huey."
