had to relisten to 2.4 for my last drawing and got compelled to draw the scene of dani point blank shooting her own dead dreams so here we are

#rolling with difficulty #dani rwd #this was so much fun like i wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as i did but like!! complementary colours go brr i guess #it's just.. such a cool visual like design choice? anyway #in hindsight this is dnd so i'm not sure if she's supposed to have an actual handgun but it's fine #i just googled pistol and took the first pic off google images #i should draw dani more her design is so much fun #every time i draw the hypnagoug i jsut choose to ignore more of its description but come on #i think sacrificing a bit of accuracy for rule of cool in this case is pretty understandable #as a side note the reason why i drew my last hypnagoug comic in greyscale was that for some reason that entire fight is just #greyscale. in my brain. idk why like genuinely that's how i imagine it #but for this one i really wanted to get the blue/orange contrast so here we are #ALSO side note to the side note but if you saw my demon possession au comic from the discord (which. no you didn't) #THAT ONE was in greyscale bc i was trying to save time bc i literally rushed that in more or less one sitting #and colouring in greyscale is just.. pretty intuitive for me for whatever reason so i just did it so i thought it would be faster #idk fun fact i guess #art I made

just finished sonic frontiers last night and i had a blast (throws doodles at you)

#sonic frontiers #sonic #amy rose #tails #knuckles #sage #eggman #probably ooc for sonic to stay in one place for 30 minutes but its what *I* did #also i got all the trophies except the fuckin phantom rush one and i don't wanna go back guess i'll die! #spoilers #(a little bit)

[possiblytracker]

got dragged to a pub quiz with some of my housemates buddies and was fully convinced i was not really gonna have a good time and itd probably be too loud and i wouldnt be much help etc etc etc bc my mood is still not great but i forgot im a competitive motherfucker when it comes down to it and the sheer rush of euphoria that comes from knowing a few more obscure answers that had the rest of the room hemming and hawing is gonna carry me through the next week probably

#when nobody else in the wetherspoons in rural wales knows what the capital of florida is or what you call a female swan #the big ass grin spreading across my face and sheer rush of Power listening to 2 people the next table over arguing over whether #its jacksonville or miami. you Fools. you absolute buffoons. i know more than you/j/j/j/j #i am so exhausted now and the 'yea this is Over you are enjoying urself too late' sadness is creeping back in but it was worth it #we came 3rd...... the prize was a whole pitcher of some cocktail for the group but i do not drink so i just went home to bed #a female swan is called a pen btw i knew that six month long job spouting swan facts at 8 year olds would come in handy someday #IDK i still have a lot to work through but i feel like i should make a slightly less depressing post today skdfjh;; #shoutout to my housemate for always somehow noticing when i have just not left my room in a day and coming to drag me out of it #i was so close to just not eating again (which tbf. i didnt. until like 6pm whoops) #but now i have done that AND touched grass AND socialised AND feel good abt myself a bit.. so..... #i worry a lot that people dont really. notice or care that much when im struggling/when they do that its annoying or a burden so #im very grateful to have people who care about me enough to try and pull me out of it. i hope wherever i end up after this #that i can surround myself with more people like that #man this feels pretty bittersweet to think about as well but in more of a cathartic kinda way. i guess #trying to think abt things slightly more positively so i dont turn into a festering black pit of bad vibes for the next few weeks #and my blog still inexplicably feels like the nicest place to sort through this kinda thing

Playing BG3 just made me miss dragon age, so I put it down and picked up dragon age 2 and I'm having substantially more fun

#don't get me wrong i feel like i SHOULD like bg3 its just. i CONSTANTLY feel like im missing something #context? something to cue these conversations in? everything feels rushed and a bit forced #idk #bg3 is almost undoubtedly a better game but it feels so.... difficult to navigate. story wise. #bg3 negative #just for like. filtering i guess.

[leavingsunsets]

sigh. A little disappointed with my recent Jamil work. I feel like its because I wasn't really envisioning the scene very vividly, or didn't prolong the moment.

#i did a little good with the plot but its a bit unprepared #sigh #i guess its also because i was trying not to be too ooc #but also #i wanted to i didnt want to make him bland #the writings also a bit rushed #i should study jamil more. #hmmm #sen says !

I just finished Steel Ball Run and

ppl who get so caught up in how troy possibly managed to survive are so boring and annoying sorry like I know the odds of him surviving two bashes to the head and a dam exploding is pretty slim but there’s enough room there for it to be like okay I guess it can work even if it is a bit dodgy like just move on omg

#troy otto #twd txt #like it’s pretty clear the intention in s3 was yeah he is dead #but it’s simple enough to be like okay I guess he was just unconscious #and the water rushing in bc of the dam just moved his body somewhere #and he washed up probably like Madison did and someone found and helped him #I do think the odds of him surviving that dam explosion and not drowning is like probably impossible #but it’s ambiguous enough that I’m like yeah it’s #like to me this is not on the same level as ppl theorising that Beth could be alive #bc we quite literally saw her get shot in the head #now her coming back would’ve been a how the actual fuck moment #but this is like yeah the odds are slim #but it’s possible enough #also tho like even if it is impossible #ppl banging on about it bores me tears #like qrting every Troy tweet with ‘uhhh how’ is BORING like #it’s so easy to just assume he wasn’t dead and then just move on and accept he is alive #like why are you banging on about it it literally doesn’t matter #I would like an exaplnation in 8b and mayyybe even flashbacks but I think the odds of that is slim #bc maybe they’ll be like its best to not address it too much bc we know no any explanation is gonna be a bit of a street h #stretch #so we’re gonna just say he got lucky and move on

Btw the date was. Nice but like, not what i was hoping for.

#it ended up not being a date cuz she brought a friend with her and like #idk maybe she was nervous or smt and thats def okay and it was nice to meet a friend of hers who isnt part of our friend group #like it was nice seeing more of her etc etc #and we held hands and it was still nice #but idk #i think maybe i went too fast? but im a bit disappointed cuz she was the one showing interest first... #and i also had to gather all my courage to invite her out and i was so excited + anxious about today #so yeah its whatever #i guess my takeaway is that i will just go along and see what happens #no need to rush or worry too much #oh also she and her friend invited me to a halloween party i dont know if i will be able to go but it sounds cool #her friend was cool too like it wasnt weird or anything

[strwbrymlkshake]

finished my normalcy phase returning to the horrors

#mine #HELLO HELLO whats up yanchamps i am insane again once more god bless. feeling like a yandere prophet returning to his followers #i havent been experiencing The Horrors quite as much still been having ups and downs but normal otherwise #but my brain has been tormenting me a lil bit so i figured i might as well post about it #so i got confessed to recently and my brain exploded out of my head onto the wall and it was like ketchup and everything #brain is unable to process it bc it was from a guy i am not 100% yandere insane over (yet?? maybe?) and its probably not the best decision #since i am not mentally stable or sure about it and other factors. but we are still friends he is very swag and cool i think and enables me #and my yanderism which i post ever so slight morsels of from time to time on main #i mean like it is what i asked for technically? to be loved? cherished even!?!? to be cared for?!?? #yet i still am fixated on a guy who treats me like a crumb. sad. literally that one meme #i cannot control which man my brain dissects daily why does it have to be the one who doesnt care about me bruh istg. i mean its not rly #romantic i am just more fixated on him than others? theres way more to it but only so much can be explained in tags. and both these guys #are too old for me anyways. hell on earth. well thats an excuse for me to try and improve more i guess before i rush into anything. #it really sucks that ive waited so long for a serious relationship and everyone who wants one is too old anyways. and those who DONT want #one. well i dont want them they are not committed to the yandere grindset #im getting way better at not being super sick in the head or making rash decisions but those were just some things annoying me<3

Now that I can read a little better I understand a bit more why translations vary so wildly.

Like. On the one hand, if you translate word by word you have so many personal choices to make on which word to use for each thing since there's not many one to one translations. There's deciding to keep idioms or localize them, keep terms and ways of conversing or localize to some degree, etc. And then there's deciding if you cut anything for time it takes to translate and time pressures (I finally get why one guardian translator cut out some of the novel, they were trying to get out the weilan content asap for people). There's also parts where you just won't know how to word it in the language you're translating to, what would be best, and you have to make a decision you don't think is perfect and surely isn't (and maybe there is no perfect decision for translating that line, just many various "Okay but not perfect" choices).

On the other hand. Translation is absolutely a skill. A skill that requires a LOT of practice and is separate from language comprehension skills. Yeah, knowing the languages helps so you don't make foolish grammar or mean meaning errors that machine translations make. But beyond that, so much is you personally breaking down sentences and words and deciding what's a good equivalent in meaning/style/effect in the language you're translating to. And there's no perfect answer, only various "okay" answers that will be biased by translator. Which is why it can be fun to read various translations of one piece, they might all be right but retain certain elements and not others (like when I think of rainbowse7ens edited translations with details added a lot of the emotion/atmosphere of the writing style was retained but specific wording was lost, when I translated some guardian I retained wording amount but wasn't super confident of my word selection and think yuka did better however I felt I retained priests writing style of sentences well and therefore the Effect of it, Yuka did a great job retaining word choice but I think some sentence structure and atmosphere the style created was lost, and meanwhile for modu I think edanglarstranslations did about as perfect a job as one could attempt at retaining mood/style/word choice to the point I could very easily match chinese audiobook to their translation and get a ton of phrase and wording and structure matches). So it's cool to see various translations as every single one will be tinged by translators interpretation of text, strengths and weaknesses, and what they personally valued keeping most and How (cause again there's no perfect one to one way to translate).

I realize the more I learn how much I do value people who do mtls and clean them up, and people who put out "gist" translations that may skimp on details but convey the mood of the text and plot and do it quickly. In both cases, so that either overall words get preserved (as best they can in edited mtl since mtls do tend to shorten and summarize] or so that the overall Feel of the novel gets preserved. So that there's a translation quickly, which is nice when otherwise there'd be none. Or until we hope and wait for a more in depth translator to have the time for those particular projects. Merebear translates is amazing for putting out so many timely dmbj translations which otherwise wouldn't exist at all, Yuka is amazing for putting out a guardian translation that kept the word choice, rainbowse7en was amazing for putting out a guardian translation when there was none and keeping the overall mood intact.

Theres value in a lot of different kinds of translating, along with how each individual one will simply vary by translators own things they tended to interpret/focus on most.

#rant #translation #i would say i think in Company cases where translations get paid for by hour #i personally prefer detail AND mood and style retained when possible. since the translator has time and is paid well #but in reality plenty of companies are cool with mtl then quick proofread or rushing and underpaying translators #so its a capitalism problem ToT. and under those cases which is likely all. i realize #still theres value in quick mood retaining translations - they come out and serve the main purpose and mood #when otherwise no transpation would exist. someone translating roughly then using other ppl and mtl #to just scan if they can make better word choices for some sections. makes more sense given this #i also realize lol. i am actually more an overall mood/style kind of translator #i can keep specific wording but always second guess if maybe a different word pick would be #a better translation. so i now realize why one might make a specific into a more general to Ensure its more accurate #rather than changing meanjny by picking a specific word a bit off.

no ray of sunlight’s ever lost

rating: general

relationships: implied nines/toreador, some general found family-isms with the anarchs and the protag

warnings: none

summary: “Skelter —” “I’m just giving you the lecture so Nines doesn’t.  Save y’ some time, girl.”

"Now, now, Prim.  What did we say about bothering the rabble?”

The girl’s expression brightens immediately, and she spins away from Skelter to face her sire with an enormous grin.  The gap between them is closed in a blink — Elodie has the thought to scold her for using celerity improperly, but chooses to ignore it — so that Primrose can grasp her arms and grin at her, eyes bright and burning.  “Master!  I knew you were coming!  I could feel you!”  Before Elodie can remind her not to call her master, the younger Kindred continues brightly.  “And maybe the rabble should stop bothering me.”

“Careful who you’re calling rabble, girl,” Skelter groans as he makes his way to Prim’s side to address Elodie.  “Nines didn’t tell us you were droppin’ in, El.”

“I didn’t have time to let him know.  Just in the area, figured I’d come visit my favourite anarchs.”  Prim’s mouth opens, and El finishes with a laugh, “and my favourite childe.”

The childe’s grin is huge, and she releases her sire’s arms with a pleased hum.  Skelter rolls his eyes.  “You could visit your favourite anarchs all the time if you joined up.”  El’s eyes dance with mocking mirth, but the look is playful, not cruel.

“I’d say going my own way is about as Anarch as it gets, yeah?”

Skelter laughs, head shaking.  “Can’t argue with that.”  He looks to Prim, who still looks lovestruck.  “Can you let Damsel and Nines know she’s here, Prim?”

“But —”

“Don’t worry, hon.  I’ll be around a while.  Promise not to disappear once you turn around.”

Primrose pouts but then nods, disappearing up the stairs.

“Where’s Jack?” Elodie asks, glancing around the bar.

“Haven’t seen him in a while.”  El chews on that.  Like she’d like to chew out Jack.  (And maybe on.  He’s a lower generation than her, and she’d hate to learn if diablerizing works in the opposite direction, but damn if it wouldn’t be satisfying to take out the chessmaster.)  “Far warning: Nines has been worried that he hasn’t heard from you.  Jack disappearing he can take, but you dropping off the face of the earth?  Especially since…”

“Skelter —”

“I’m just giving you the lecture so Nines doesn’t.  Save y’ some time, girl.”

Elodie cracks a grin.  “Thanks, Skelter.”

“He’s gonna try to convince you to join up.  I don’t know if you’re Caine’s favourite or what, and I know your sire was low generation, but you’re still a fledgling.”

“Probably technically a neonate, but I get it.”

Skelter cracks a smirk, but it’s strained around the edges.  “I’m just sayin’ that a fledgling on their own is suicide.  We could keep you safe.”

“Aww, Skelter.  Keep talking like that and I’m gonna think you’re all in love with me.”

“It’s that famed Toreador charm,” he responds with another grin, fangs flashing, and the sight has Elodie laughing brightly.

“Thank god I was allowed to be vain in life and death both.”

Any smart remark from Skelter is quickly silenced by a voice from the landing of the stairs greeting them with a smirk in the syllables; Damsel tuts, “well, well, well, look what the bourgeoisie dragged in.”  Elodie’s eyes roll, but even that’s cut short by the sound of Nine’s voice in greeting right behind her, fever - pale eyes snapping to the Anarch like a woman possessed — there’s a drawn look of worry in the old hero’s face, and his smile tenses around the edges before he allows it to break instead into sincere relief.  He strides past Damsel and drags Elodie into a hug; her eyes widen, and his grip tightens, and she smiles.  For a moment, as her hands settle around his back and she breathes the familiar man in, she briefly considers joining the Anarchs.  Or maybe just joining Nines.  The moment stretches, breaths held.

It’s Primrose that breaks the silence, voice a bell — “gettin’ awful touchy with my Master.”

Elodie dissolves into helpless laughter, head tucking against Nine’s chest to stifle herself, while Nines groans and casts a look over his shoulder at the fledgling even as his arms don’t move.

“You can’t just let an old man have his moment with his friend, can ya, kid?”

It’s not a friendly look in his eyes when he pulls away, gaze returning to Elodie’s face and studying to be sure she’s uninjured but studying for something else, too.  El half - thinks he’ll kiss her, as she’s so often thought he would.  She’d noticed it, too, the strange static.  Of course, ever the gentleman, he simply steps back, and Elodie laughs to herself as she’s set free.

“It’s good to see you, too, Nines.”  Primrose flits back to Elodie’s side now that there’s space there, the girl more fae - like, even, somehow, than her progenitor.  Her hands fine Elodie’s arm, grip gentle, seeming more like a reminder that she’s here than any attempt to trap.  Elodie’s smile softens.  “To see all of you.”

“Damn right,” Damsel quips.  “Nines here was all scared you’d gotten yourself ashed, but Skelter and I told him that you were too vain and dramatic to go out without making the news.”

Skelter shoots and apologetic look at Elodie, confirming the story, and Primrose huffs on her Master’s behalf.  Nine rubs the back of his head and then groans.

“I’m sure that Skelter already gave you the lecture.”

“Yes,” El agrees with a challenging smile.

“And your answer is no?”

“Still yes.”  Her head tilts.  “I know you wanna protect me, and I’m grateful.  But I’ve spent too much of my death in a cage.  Even one you just wanna put me in to keep me safe.”

“Ouch, kid.”

She grins.  “Does it help if I say you’re a better - looking jailer than Sebastian was?”

Damsel groans and pretends to gag, while Primrose sighs and leans her head against her shoulder as though put - upon.  Skelter laughs, though, and even Nines cracks a grin, some of that worry fading in the face of Elodie’s easy confidence.  If there’s one thing that Nines respects, it’s choosing independence over safety.

“But, if it helps,” El continues, “while I’m in town, I’m happy to help with any errands you all need run for old time’s sake.”

Nine cracks a smirk, this time, head shaking.  He gestures towards the stairs to the upper level of the bar.  His other hand extends in offering.  “We can turn you back into our errand girl later.  For now, I’m sure you’ve made some great stories to tell since we last talked.  I’d love to hear ‘em.”

Elodie can only smile, reach out, take his hand.  “I’d love to tell ‘em.”

#fanfic #fic #elodie blessed #primrose nadeu #nines rodriguez #i wrote this ages ago and never posted it here i GUESS???? #anyway its basically just a lil bit of like #this is how prim and el interact. this is whats going on with el and nine's lil romantic tension that both are aware of #but neither feel any rush to act on #they got nothing but time after all

Self worth recognition day, didn't know i had those

#i have actually gathered courage to ask her out on a date #which is something I've never done before so this'll be interesting to say the least #had to rush #because someone caught attention on her (seems like its actually mutual now though!! so she's still me more attention) so I cant risk it #i have to be a bit more aggressive i suppose #luckily i have one of her best friends directly helping me (and the friend also might be my best friend too by the end of this) #didn't ever think I'd come this far... guess we really do grow up after all #everything is becoming so damn stressful though my anxiety attacks have atleast tripled recently so that's pain #but the feelings she gives me do overcome the pain so i trust it'll be worth it #ANYWAY THATS TOO MUCH RANTING ILL SHUT THE HECK UP NOW #shut up blue

[kethabali]

i continue to be surprised how our body, minds, and universe align perfectly sometimes and we get just what we needed even if we don't realize we needed it

#someone asked me for money and i didnt have cash and they asked if they can have my food so i just took them to the store and bought them #something to eat and talked a bit which was very needed bc i been in a downer the last 2 days #freezing up from my workload of house work and school work #so i just not been doing either of it really #only the basics of eating and cleaning myself (somewhat) but i went out today to get a charger for my weed pen or to buy another pen #and thats when i saw her so that was good #first iw as like maybe god is real or something cuz how that keep aligning like that but then i realized i made the choice to talk to her #and buy her food.. it was literally me who made it happen not gOd #so yea i still am not re believing in god at least not the institutional organized religion god #cuz that guy is pure evil he is the real devil im telling you #but i do believe our souls know what we need and try to make it happen regardless of our circumstances #anyways.. gonna watch a really gorey movie now instead of reading for school #i do want to read but at the same time i do not want to read #i want to read not today but i Have to read today and tomorrow bc its due on tuesday #and i wanna go to a protest tomorrow so mainly i have today and half of tomorrow and a bit of tuesday #which is not enough for my adhd ass to do this how i want so it will probably be rushed #unless i take somehthing else out of the schedule but i really wanna go to the protest GRR i hate capitalism #just let me do things how i wanna do it im pissed off again #why i gotta do things on other peoples schedule all the goddamn time this is my least favorite thing about capitalism #never being able to do things when i wanna do them cuz there are consequences for if i ignore the other things #i just sometimes wanna be like fuck it let me just take the consequence and do what i want but that never went well in high school #i guess i can read 2 pages or something #or die. just kidding.. haha.. im trying not to answer die or death anytime i am inconvenienced #🧃
