hello! I was just wondering if you have that post of the dancing red thang queue'd up for every single day because I see it every morning and it haunts me (not even in a bad way) it has become a staple of my daily scrolling

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

remember when that quote "It's rotten work. "Not to me. Not if it’s you" was going around tumblr from Anne Carson's translation An Oresteia and then there was another wave of scandalized "how DARE you romanticize the relationship between Orestes and Pylades! They're cousins!" like....they're from an ancient greek tragedy. they're all related. even achilles and patroclus were cousins according to hesiod. the greeks did not care.

Repress It, Mk!

Mei and Red Son wouldn't be his backup singers (because they support going to therapy) so he had to improvise. He's fine, all good all the time all good

i refuse to watch the bleach live action dub because, well, it's a dub and live action dubs are even more insufferable AND rukia's VA is so miscast oh my god what is that tiny little voice she sounds like a my little pony, BUT i fucking love that renji says "looks like i've gone and killed your SWEETHEART" jfkljlfdmgsdmds

UMMMMM ALSO WHILE I WAS WRITING THIS i was wondering what renji actually says here

because he very clearly doesn't say "boyfriend" (kare/shi) and he says "died" instead of killed, and by concentrating very hard (my listening skills in japanese aren't what they used to be) i could actually sus out what he's saying, which i'm pretty sure is:

お前が情注い男を死んだ

(omae ga jou-sosoi otoko wo shinda)

i haven't been able to find if "jou-sosoi [otoko]" is like, an old-timey word for lover, but what it literally translates to is "man you've poured your feelings/passion/love into." :O

and his emphasis on "you" (omae ga, instead of "your" omae no) and "died" (shinda) is like he's saying, "the man you love died because of you."

so it's more like he's saying, you killed the man you love.

That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.

Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."

The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.

And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?
