FELLOW HONEST! INFO

This probably doesn't make sense without context but the idea popped into my head and I couldn't shake it :)

Agatha All Along finale in a nutshell:

[dust-of-embers]

the google translate sings version of Into the Unknown reminds me of spies are forever and TGWDLM, especially the line

"sorry this is a secret service, but i want you to sing!"

plus

fight with STRAAAANGERRSSS

[idkwidatp]

I will never be able to sing shape of you in a normal way

[cherub-investigation0802]

the best quote from twsited translations its “your body its light, and it hurts”

New game!

Background: for those who don’t know, there’s a YouTube channel called Twisted Translations (formerly known as Translator Fails, and before that as Google Translate Sings) where the channel’s creator puts song lyrics, recipes, audience questions, airline safety instructions, or just about anything else through several different languages in Google Translate and then back into English and dramatically performs the results. She’s been doing this for ten years, and I have a running joke with a few of my friends that the resulting impressive collection of videos has a screenshot for just about everything.

So here’s the game: send me an ask with a question. It can be about the characters of the Jailbreak Squad, the upcoming chapter or a past chapter of AWOHO, that universe more generally, or anything else about my writing; it can be about my general TMA headcanons, especially about characters who haven’t made it into my fics yet; or it can be a get-to-know-the-author type of question. I request that you keep it to one question per ask, but feel free (I encourage you!) to send in as many asks as you want. I will respond to each ask I get with a single screenshot from a Twisted Translations video, and nothing else.

Have fun! I certainly will 🙂

Malleus: "Wait, where are you going, Kingscholar? Do you plan to go alone?"

Leona: "Yeah? Why should I work with you just because you happened to be nearby?"

Malleus: "Because we don't even know the child of man's and the others' whereabouts."

Malleus: "It would be terrible if something were to happen to them. If we are to resolve this quickly, then you must know not to cause any more unnecessary trouble for us."

OMG! NO WAY! Malleus is so concerned about Yuu that he was willing to work with Leona to rescue them as quickly as possible... Oh my god... Oh my god... NO WAY

Can you guys belive that since Jupiter’s death, some of them, even the victims of 15,000 miles per hour, have come to arrest the frisbee😔

[egophiliac]

C'MON TO THE THEATER!

I love these guys so much. forget NRC, I want to attend their terrible disaster school for disaster children that might actually be plastered on top of the smoking remains of an actively sinking ship. I may or may not actually learn anything, but I will have the time of my life.

We now have all of Octatrio’s Unique Magic incantations! I translate them as follows:

Jade: “Don’t be scared. I only want to help you.”

Floyd: “This is a nice place, but how about I interrupt?”

Azul: “The song ceases, the sun sets. Show mercy upon this poor soul. Come, let’s make a deal!”
