Hi there. I have a quick question if you don’t mind. Of all the translated earbud lines, who had the best burn and what was it?
Ok it's hard to pick, but I had to go for Muu's insult to Mikoto
If the mountain of translation notes didn't give it away I struggled to find a good TL for 'charai', alternatives to poser included: Hustler (really old definition nothing to do with 'side hustles'), flirt, player, scrub (yes, the same one as that TLC song), fop, and my favourite (that I couldn't use bc its too old-fashioned)
"Foppish Dandy"
If you're familiar with the song 'Yankee doodle dandy'
Yes, this is that sort of dandy.
(And if you don't already know that song is basically making fun of the 18th century version of Mikoto so start putting it on all the character playlists for him)

There are many different factors that go into the destruction of a species. One of the most frustrating is the business of collection: the killing and taking of animals from the wild.
Before the advent of photography and film, the collection of specimens was an indispensable tool in the natural history arsenal, enabling in-depth study of elusive species. Preservation through taxidermy further enabled animals to be put on display in museums and educational exhibitions—or a place of pride in the homes of zoological hobbyists.
As in other forms of collecting, from baseball cards to Beanie Babies, the most sought-after treasures were those that had the greatest scarcity. When species like the Great Auk grew rarer in the wild, higher and higher prices were offered for skins or eggshells by frenzied collectors, as well as those wishing to “preserve the species for posterity”—an ironic, self-fulfilling prophecy that ultimately contributed to their disappearance.
Of course, not all collection could claim such plausible deniability. At the turn of the 20th century, the fashion industry’s demand for feathers, and even entire taxidermied birds, acted as a devastating pressure on countless species of American bird, the Carolina Parakeet included. Many of these birds were killed for no more noble a purpose than to decorate a hat.
In July, 1918, stirred by the recent lost of species such as the passenger pigeon, the United States and Canada put into law the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, barring the pursuit, capture, killing, collection, or sale of the majority of native birds—living or dead, in part or in whole, including eggs, nests, and feathers. Other countries would soon follow. The MBTA remains one of the most significant pieces of legislation in the history of conservation, helping to bring species like the snowy egret back from the brink, but it came too late for the Carolina Parakeet. Incas, the last parakeet, had died in captivity five months before.
Scientific collection continues to play an important role in the study of animals—thankfully with much greater consideration given to the preservation of living species.
This painting is the second in my Carolina Parakeet series. It is gouache on paper, and measures 18x24 inches. The title is ‘We Trim Our Caps with Stolen Feathers’.
