#For English people i mean English speakers

[dicenete]

Hey, I'm rambling about IkePri again

Okay, I just need to get these thoughts I have about Gilbert von Obsidian out because I enjoy predicting stuff and overthinking design and narrative choices even tho they might not be right. :P But there really isn't that much predicting other than me overthinking about narrative and design choices. This time there will be most likely spoilers of Gilbert's route so far, and route of Clavis and some thoughts I have just gathered while playing the game in general. I try to put these thoughts in cohesive order, but well... I don't know if I can really, because I just need to get these out of my head. These are my thoughts, ramblings and opinions. Feel free to form your own and certainly disagree with me! I apologize about the lack of art in this post. I'm busy with work currently so no fanart for a while. I'm also not native English speaker, so there might be grammatical errors and such. Sorry about that. Everything under the cut.

To start with Ikemen Prince is a romance visual novel first and foremost. That doesn't mean it can't be deep (and it certainly has been deeper than I initially expect, which left me positively surprised). I suppose there is somesort of thematic vibe that there is no prince whose ideals are the main thesis of the game itself. But that also kinda leaves that fact there is no huge catharsis regarding the world and it's state. Everything so far has been left quite open. And the more I have learned about lore of the world, I really feel like anti-monarchist here xd Clavis really sold me the idea for real. Or atleast throw away the absolute monarchy. That's where I think things should go, but that's my own belief. (really, the last king of Rhodolite... He umm... I have some opinions.) Chevalier and Gilbert First things first: I don't hate or dislike Chevalier as a character. There are just some things that give me Deus Ex Machina feels. But I know it is what they are going for with him. This genius that so far ahead of everyone that it is so alien concept to rest of the people. And well that is a very hard concept to pull off without being a genius yourself as a writer. Or that is what I feel like. But what I do love is what the writers are doing with him and Gilbert in thematic sense! (Hence why Chev x Gilbert sounds so juicy to me)

I really took steps to the deep end as I started to think about why I have enjoyed Gilbert's route or was interested in his story to begin with, but have little interest in trying Chev's one. Because they are so similar but they really aren't.

How I would describe it is that where as Clavis is the complementary to Chev, the purple to his yellow, the emotionality vs rationality, the heart vs the brain, Gilbert is more like right brain to Chev's left brain. If it makes sense like that xd Their color schemes are harmonious. Not opposite. Almost like how Nokto and Licht's color schemes are harmonious with each others.

(Nokto (Blue + white + gold) vs Licht (Blue + black + gold)) Not to mention that their names clearly are meant to mean light and dark. (Licht: variant for light, Nokto: comes form latin nox or noctis, meaning night = dark) But that is a rambling for another time.) Both their crests are tigers. White and black tiger. Chev's color scheme is White + gold and black. Whereas Gilbert's is Black + gold and white. But then the overall color that game devs use to signal about the characters baffles me a bit. Gold/Yellow vs Black/dark red. They don't seem to have too much connection or that of which comes to my mind quickly and without digging deeper. (because I believe that if you dig deep enough, you have digged yourself into a trap of overthinking about things. (Justifying things because you want to justify them, which I'm not big fan of. And sometimes things don't need meaning and we have to live with that. As much as it pains my overthinker brain.)) But here is my impressions about Gilbert so far. I'm at the point where MC has left the Clavis's party (I loved it btw). Gilbert really does give me toxic INFJ villain feels, but let's not get too hang up on terms such as that. But he is someone who is driven forth by his own ideals and desire to change the world better. He, like Clavis, seems to cloak himself in this idea that he is the villain and is okay, even happy, to take that role. He is the one who, like Chevalier, has thrown away emotional attachment out of the window (or so they say) unlike Clavis who makes his choices based more on emotion rather than rational thinking. Maybe that's why I like Clavis and Gilbert, they push MC out of their black and white thinking. That things are not so easy peezy as "choose a right king and everyone will be happy". There will always be someone who is mad about it. That's why I really loved the scene with Gilbert with the orphaned kids and the Clavis's party. He seems to enjoy the company of children (who are not morally corrupted or tainted) and he really empathically listens to those who are angry. He believes in the idea that "no one remembers what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel". (A quote with debatable origin, people say that it was coined by Maya Angelou. But I really love this quote, because I think it is the truth.) Gilbert isn't trying to rationalize against someone's choices with pure intellect. He uses empathy to guide him to the most rational outcome in that emotional scope. But he also uses this to manipulate people with fear. He uses fear extensively and he does it actively. Where as I feel like Chev just has that aura about him automatically. Hence my next thought: Action vs Stasis!

Gilbert and Clavis are action oriented. They shake the gameboard, they make the first moves. Gilbert probably more than Clavis. They both want change. Is it change for the better, we will see, I still haven't finished Gilbert's route but he really gives me this "I'm willing to become the greatest threat so that people unite to defeat me." or "I will conquer all so there will no longer be wars.". Chev, on the other hand, symbolizes stasis. His goal is to keep the kingdom of Rhodolite going. That's his duty and he is willing to take it. (even tho we can debate if that is something he really really believes in or even thinks about that much. I feel like it is out of obligation rather than of personal ideal. But alas, I have not played Chev's route yet.) Chev is reactive rather than proactive. He waits for the opponent to make the first move and reacts accordingly. (I'm not saying he is not reactive once game is on. More like "if there was not threat to deal with, he wouldn't create one".)

Chev doesn't care what you think about him. Gilbert does. He might seem like he doesn't but he is really there to prove a point. (I will pick up his dislike for lying later >.>) Chev is not. Chev knows that his way is the right way for him and that is enough for him. Chev also actively makes a "gettaway plan" for himself in Clavis. He knows that Clavis is the final thread that keeps him from going overboard because he understand that he has to be blind for "individual people" aspect to be a good ruler. Gilbert probably understands this about himself too, but he is trying to prove a point. So he needs to go overboard. Because masses of people need absolutes to react to. If it is something banal, it won't do. His evil actions need to shake the very foundation of ideas. The people have to face those things head on and see it for themselves. They cannot be sheltered. Gilbert gives me the vibes that he is willing to sacrifice himself not for the kingdom, but for the betterment of all mankind. He is happy to become the villain #1 if that means that other people will rise and take down the corrupted Obsidian or the corrupted idea. I would say that he is Lawful Good going on about things like Lawful Evil.

Gilbert asking questions means that he wants you to think, he wants to challenge your opinions and how you look at the world. Same as Clavis. They yearn for change. They want to change the world. Where as Chev wants to maintain things as they are. Chev "If it is not broken, we don't need to fix it" Michel. Where as Clavis and Gilbert want to improve the system. They are idealistic. Gilbert and lying

This is something very interesting. At first I thought that he was all "I dislike when people lie to me." but he really is "I dislike lying in all its forms." And he does say that he doesn't lie. And I'm starting to believe that is really the case. All the things he says are true. But because how other people see him, they are suspicious anyway. Like MC is. Like we all probably are when we start the route and think "So what is your trauma, baby girl?" When he is unsure or knows that he shouldn't say the thing he really thinks or that is true, he will deflect or give a very vague response. Which makes me quite happy to replay his route at somepoint with this in mind. In conclusion: Welcome to my TED talk, with no head or tail, just me overthinking about things about a otome gacha game. If you read this far, thank you for your time. Remember, if I ramble about it, it just means that I'm invested. Have a good day~

Unsurprisingly, people are already being fucking weird about Mizu's gender.

Headcanons are all well and good, but maybe we shouldn't be so eager to apply modern Western gender politics and terms to a character whose identity is so tied to the time, place, and circumstances in which she exists.

Please remember that Mizu was forced to present as male for her own safety and agency. Please remember that allowing others to see her as a man and call her he/him is not a choice; it's protection; it's a means to an end. Until we see Mizu talk about her gender in further detail, that's all the context we have.

Don't project what you want to see onto her and then treat it as fact.

#Blue Eye Samurai #BES #Svar rants #also as an enby who doesn't use they it super rubs me the wrong way to see people insisting on calling her they #even if she *is* genderqueer or nonbinary (and we don't know that she is) that does not mean that they automatically applies #and if you think that it does please go back to Gender 101 do not pass go do not collect $100 #on top of that there's the whole issue of applying English pronoun politics to a Japanese speaker #like I'm begging y'all to consider cultural and historical context before y'all go gallivanting off with your readings of Mizu's gender #taking a baseball bat to a hornet's nest with this one I know but I'm Bothered

oh also also, baghera getting increasingly french at the end of the timer was so fucking funny and i love her so much, like when her and phil fought and phil killed her and her accent thickened until she abandoned words and made french noises CHEF'S KISS reminds me of when she played outlast w cellbit slime and jaiden and got progressively more french as the night wore on, genuinely had a blast hearing her progressively dropping more and more swears in french

also reminds me of something i THINK i remember, think it was her who said during brazil she kept accidentally speaking french to people because of how close she felt to them

#qsmp #baghera jones #debated on making this post bc i wasn't sure if people would think i was making fun? i'm not trying to; to be clear #it's something i've noticed w baghera in particular and really really love #(personally i trend to a southern drawl; i am not from the american south) #i genuinely really like it #idk if your first language is french and you think this is disrespectful i'll delete it just say the word #mine is english so idk how shitty we can be :( i know we can be awful #((tbh i usually kick Myself if i can't understand an accent bc i'm the damn native speaker i should be good at this language)) #((like this is My Fault for not parsing i'm the one who knows what these words MEAN; COME ON)) #these went on a tangent but in my defense it's technically 4 am here (daylight savings) #also i was watching team red. the entire event. and then until this very moment. #this speaks for itself i think #shut up vic #block game brainrot

Can I just say something? Okay, so, I think the funniest live bloggers are the Brazilians. They are so funny, and for what? I can almost always find something to laugh at in their live blogging for each day and I am just sitting looking through my tags and nearly laughing in the middle of one of my classes. Thank you, so so much Brazilians. You guys and your CCs are so dear to me. I can almost always find enjoyment in the live streams even if I can't understand a word they are saying(I can pick up little things here and there and it honestly makes me so happy) and it is so awesome coming on here and looking at the QSMP live blogging tag and figuring out through the live bloggers.

Other English speakers that are fans of the QSMP need to realize that the Spanish speakers and Brazilians are a part of our community and without them, we wouldn't have some really cool content. I am tired of seeing people make fun of or generally being awful to the CCs or even fellow fans. Do better.

Again, thank you Brazilian fans and also thank you to the Spanish speaking fans. You guys are awesome. Keep doing you and I hope other English speaking fans start appreciating you more, or even as much as I do and that they try to understand even a little bit, whether it's through learning one of the languages, even just watching the Brazilian and Hispanic creators and finding the cognates and understanding even a little bit, or even just interacting with fans who don't speak English as their first language and taking the time to even put their words through google translate(honestly, as someone learning Spanish, it isn't great but if you have a reading level over that of a first grader then you should be able to figure it out even then) just to help it reach more people as most social media sites are more English friendly than they are to any other language.

Feel free to translate this post so it can reach more people. I don't really care for credit but it would be really nice because we need to start crediting people more in not just this space but also in other spaces. Credit artists and writers, they are the back bones of many fandoms, especially ours. The museum in the QSMP itself credits the artists. Give credit where credit is due.

#qsmp #I am so tired of English speakers using their privileges for bad #do better #these people are important to our community and Q wanted to bridge the gap and you are stopping that from truly happening #also #remember to not make fun of people for their bad English! #English may be one of the most spoken languages in the world but that doesn't mean everyone knows it or has the ability to learn it! #qsmp brazilians appreciation #qsmp hispanics appreciation

Can you guys rb this or comment with how you pronounce “Goncharov”? I didn’t really think anything of it until one of my friends said it out loud and I was like huh? I think it’s interesting how people can have different pronunciations of a word or name they’ve never heard out loud in their head an not question it. For reference, I’m a native Russian speaker and I’ve always read it like gohn-CHArohv and my US American friend said GAHNCHA-rahv.

#goncharov #pronounciation #languages #russian language #today I remembered that tweet that’s like white people can’t pronounce POC names but they can say Tchaikovsky. and I kinda hate it because #no they can’t they cannot pronounce Tchaikovsky at all. please get a better example #English speakers of any race usually say chai-COUGH-skeee. that’s equivalent to white people calling jalapeños holla-PEEN-yo’s #also when I was in like middle school I took this summer cooking class thing and one day the teacher was quizzing us on food from around the #world and she asked us if we know where pillmini are from. nobody knew so she said they’re actually a type of Russian dumpling! my jaw #dropped when I realized she was trying to say пельмени (pyel’myeni) like ain’t no way #anyway how do you guys say Goncharov #not that there’s a right or wrong way to pronounce a fictional name unlike those real words in the other tags I’m just curious #I mean there’s a right way to pronounce a real person’s name if they’re actually called goncharov but I’m talking about the character

consider this if there's any truth to the seelie kaeya theory / columbina is a seelie:

#LIKE.... #JUST THINK ABOUT IT #.txt #yeah yeah i know he's not like that all the time so im thinking half-seelie / half-human #YOU KNOW HALF-HUMAN LIKE THE CHARACTER (HAGEN) HE IS BASED ON #also im not a native english speaker so it took me an embarrassing amount of time to learn what cavalier means #CAVALIER can mean DISREGARD FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS like columbina!!!! aha!

Obsessed with this review in Spanish of Tor Bormann-Larsen's biography on Amundsen.

Basically it goes like this:

"God, it took me months to finish this book!!! Not because it was badly written. I think it's the most objective biography of this gentleman who called himself a polar adventurer just for having the title. An immature dude that, besides having delusions of grandeur, fancied himself the one and best polar explorer. The way this guy was able to sell his ideas and get people to sponsor all his enterprises that he believed had exclusive rights to left me with a bitter taste. He betrayed his mentors, friends, and family. He did all sorts of scams. Only hooking up with married women. Nowadays, no one would pay for even his bus ticket. In the end, he tries to play victim once again, dragging with him 5 more people. A clown till the end. This is nothing but a reminder that how a person, aside from the glory, fame and the capitalization of such a significant enterprise as scientific exploration, isn't better than a regular person that leads a quiet life contributing to society. They all hide their skeletons in their closet. But this guy, I can conclude, while he had the ability to survive the polar weather, for activities as equally as complex, like human relationships and science, was fucking useless. I have had enough of this wanker...a fucking disappointment".

It's so rare to come across reviews of polar exploration books in Spanish cos most of them aren't translated* so really caught my eye. Also she shits on Roald SO hard but still gives the book a 4 star review 😆

*More than willing and able to fill that gap btw 🙋

#also i think valentina is from Spain but that use of pendejo at the end...idk the rest of the text doesnt sound like someone from Latam #also people from latam never comment/care abt these things #pendejo is such a great word and everyone that comes across it love it so i don't blame her #also she didn't mention the messy translation seems only english speakers point that out #yesterday it became clearer for me what they mean but yeah that was the translator #i really doubt the original norwegian reads like that #her bit abt him only getting on with married women was so funny tho #polar explorers #polar exploration #roald amundsen #history #tor bormann larsen

It is funny sometimes seeing people get uppity about translators not doing exactly 1:1 translations of media, whether it be a book or a game or a series- and I get it from the perspective of say, 90s and 2000s anime adaptations that completely altered plot points, completely nixed entire lines of dialogue or alter characters enough that they were barely reminiscent of the original- think Sailor Moon and how the US dub censored anything gay in it. Those complaints I understand, completely.

And then with the advent of translating tools sometimes a company has pretty clearly been cheap or lazy and has just slapped it into an online translator and hodge podged it together, losing a lot of important details along the way, just to save on paying a proper translator and that is something I find absolutely shitty and extremely fair to point out- especially when it's a big corporation.

But the flipside people seem to forget is that sometimes there's not an exact word to translate to. Sometimes translations done to T will lose the humour or the feeling of the original so the translator will change it just enough to still get the expression across in a similar way as the original without bogging it down or losing its charm- localising something isn't always a bad thing as long as it overall stays true to the original. Translation is an art at the end of the day, sometimes whats on the page needs a little extra help to really pop, I have a lot of respect for the people who put in the effort.

#its like how when a novel gets translated the usually put the translators name on the cover too #bc sure they didnt create it but oftentimes they are /recreating/ in a way where they are helping to make it as bright as it should be #like i always remember reading this chinese novel that got translated by fans online and the difference between someone doing a 1 to 1 #translation vs the person keeping everythinf important but altering the dialouge to be less stunted was wild #one was vaguely confusing and very flat to read and the other captured the story much better #bc the seocnd person was putting in the time to really express what was written #instead of just translating flatly #its like how theres whole sayings here in australia that even other english speakers dont get but someone can go 'oh they mean like x' #and then people will be like oh i get that! #i also liked when they'd put essentially a western variant of a phrase or joke in bc it matches in a similar way to the mandarin #but then in the notes theyd go into detail about what the direct translation was- what it meant- where it originated #so you still saw the direct translation and you got to learn something about x y or z thing #without it being awkwardly explained in depth #bc ultimately fiction can get bogged down very fast #so yeah thats my friday tangent #when people work hard to truly express whats being said rather than only show whats being said- i appreciate it 🫰 #translation #localization

yknow the real irony is that i’ve legit never heard of Blue Clues before coming on this website and while i understand it’s an important thing for english speakers (? to make it large), and it’s really endearing to kinda just know it’s there, it’s been really funny reading in those brackets how Blue&Magenta are like. As iconic of dogs as Snoopy or Scooby Doo. I mean it with all the love in the world and no judgement because really there’s no real harm in that but i think english speakers will never truly grasp what did export internationally or not and it’s always funny to suddenly read up on what’s considered popular enough that it HAS to be known across the world vs what’s actually popular across the world yaknow

#i did a bit of research and the show did export there but it was on some cable chanels #so it's not exactly something the majority of people had access to and all #so i'm sure some people in my country know of them but that's also mean they had money for cable. Wild. #ALSO THIS IS LIKE. NOT A DIG AT THE CURRENT POLL EITHER I TOTALLY GET WHY THEY'RE WINNING AND ALL #but i also saw some a3fics about this whole crossover about how legendary they are #and as someone who has never heard of Blue Clues because i'm not a native english speaker #it made me pause a minute of 'you mean those japanese teens know this hard about them' #then again it's really sweet and fun and reflect more on the audience itself #BUT YEAH love to be a non american online and see what they say is legendary from the other side of the pound ig #ichatalks

[smartass-hoot]

i don't mean this in a bad way but sometimes it's so obvious that a story was written by an american

#just that the kind of slang they use makes me go ??? #especially about location description #the first time i read “he ran two blocks” i didn't understand where legos came into the picture #and then the obvious american setting with american places like u mean to tell me these japanese people live in misisisisispipi? #and... the characterization too?? like i can't explain this at all #and i'm not trying to be mean it's just something i observed a lot from the extensive amount of anime fanfic i read #it's also easy to identify non-native english speakers 'cause the idioms they use are wild and so entertaining #whaddupmytags

using the spy x family anime vs manga translations of examples of translation vs localisation

#spy x family #by this I mean the fact that the anime is as far as I can tell a decent translation #however! #the manga actively chooses to adapt certain lines (usually jokes/gags) so that they make more sense to English readers #rather than simply being literal translations. and I feel that this approach massively increases enjoyment for English readers #(examples: 'plosives' + 'you always want to use the c4' in bond arc and 'swole chihuahua' in yuri study chapter) #I understand that people don't want the meaning to be altered from the original language but the thing is #especially with gags/jokes that aren't going to be plot-relevant it seems fair to me to go much more with the spirit of the joke #rather than the specific meaning #and tbh. whilst some of it may be luck I think it does say something that the choices by the manga TLer hold up when those jokes return #(although again I want to reiterate the anime TL is still good and makes sure to adapt anya's speech etc #it's possible they're not able to easily reuse the manga TL's choices because of legal reasons or sth idk #but I do think the manga TL is a v good example of localisation done well #and as a non jp speaker the anime keyed me into just how good the manga translation was by the points of contrast?) #(also just looked it up and sxf manga translator appears to be Casey Loe so shout out to them ig) #(queueing this so I can jumpscare myself about having posted Opinions on the internet)
