Vanitas no carte Stage play comic translation (part 2)

Hi there again. Last cleanings and edits. All this translations were made again by J, check the link:

https://www.instagram.com/_jolene_c/

Note 1: last 2 comics are not related to the stage play. One is about a song singed by Chloé and JJ voice actors and the other is when the anime ended, but since they were presented as tiny comics we decided to make them too.

Note 2: there are a lot, a very big a lot, more comics like this made by Jun that I never cleaned and were never translated. You can visit the author's Twitter to find them

Note 3: I made a drive with my cleaned versions in case someone wanted to use them to translate to other languages. I share it with you too:

#vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #vnc #my cleaning #my edit #not my translation #go check the 1st link to dear J Insta #she is the translator #and well #with this I think I have nothing left to share related to the stage play #i'm sad I can bring all all the comics #but they are a lot #around other 30 untranslated #50 in total #as you can imagine #too much work

I saw a few videos talking about tiny homes and just how compact things can get in some apartments in Tokyo and couldn't help but think that would be really prevalent in remnant. I mean after all the vast majority of humanity is restricted to four major kingdoms and space would be an extreme premium. Much like how their weapons serve multiple purpose a crap ton of appliances and furniture which serve multiple functions and purposes just to save space at the home. Thoughts?

Oh, certainly! I imagine that micro apartments would be extremely prevalent in cities with high population densities, like Remnant’s capitals. The quality of such apartments though might be prone to varying, based on factors like the average income level, public transport, access to communal open spaces, and urban planning.

An apartment that looks like any one of these—

—while compact and aesthetically pleasing, might not be ideal for more than one or two people max. I remember reading somewhere that the average person requires something like 400 ft2, so a space like this would probably be ill-suited for larger families/groups.

I’m also thinking of Mantle—which experienced a massive influx of immigrants seeking work (particularly Faunus)—and how the city might have gone about housing them. The inverse of this would be micro apartments of consistently lower quality, advertised to laborers. Kind of like the back-to-back terraced houses of the UK that cropped up in factory towns. I could see exploitative scenarios emerging in which cheaply-constructed micro apartments are rented out to lower-income blue-collar families. Sanitation would rapidly become an issue, too, especially if landlords are disregarding things like building codes and occupancy limits, and packing in as many tenants as they can.

TL;DR - Micro apartments would be insanely practical and effective for Remnant’s cities, provided that the municipal government didn’t skimp on quality, and that the cities themselves are designed around that kind of architecture.

On a semi-related note, I think it’s worth pointing out that Remnant’s urban planning (and by extension, architecture) isn’t beholden to our concept of what cities “should” look like. If we’re treating space as a resource that’s both valuable and scarce, then it’s likely that building construction would be heavily influenced by a need to optimize it.

How about a city that looks something like this?

Or perhaps a coastal city adapted to storm surges?

What about a city built into the side of a waterfall?

Or pyramid-like megacities that are highly defensible?

Say what you will about Mistral and Atlas (I know I have), but there’s actually a lot of cool potential for their respective cities’ layouts, had the creators of the show put just a little more thought into them. Atlas being suspended in the air is actually a rather clever way to optimize space on an otherwise flat tundra. And Mistral being built across two mountains opens up a lot of possibilities for architecture that’s either built into the side of (or directly within) the cliffs. (And that's not even getting into all of the types of public transit that a mountaintop city would make use of, like gondolas or ziplines.)

These ideas aren't hypothetical, either! There are already real-world places integrated into mountains, like plenty of Greek and Turkish monasteries. The settlements of Uçhisar, Derinkuyu, and Göreme in the Cappadocia region of Turkey are literally famous for it. If there’s a point I’m trying to make, it’s that the unique constraints put on Remnant’s city planning have the potential for some really out-there architecture. You could have multi-level cities with distinct tiers connected by a network of skyways, or cities that are completely underwater. You could have a tree fort city built into the canopies of giant redwoods, or entirely-subterranean Erebor-like cities.

The canon, in my opinion, never fully realized that potential with any of Remnant's capital cities (to say nothing of how Vale looks like a fairly generic Western metro environment).

TW EDs, EOL health issues

my current situation makes me want to crawl under my bed and never come out again 

i’ve had my current assortment of symptoms for awhile, granted not this severe or this many all at once and in the past i just brushed it off as “haha these are just silly, normal things, theres no need to be concerned” but now after having heard 6 independent medical opinions say that no, i am explicitly and acutely dying i feel so small and scared. the trembling, nausea, seizing, fevers, numbness i just thought were 'a minor body quirks’ but when i feel them now i know “these are not insignificant. these are not small. these are symptoms of reaching the near terminal stage” and it just makes me want to break down.

its also fucked up. and im so angry for making jokes about “haha isnt it funny that i got scurvy. isnt it funny that i cant lift 10 lbs weights. isnt it funny that i cant open most standard convenience packages because of lack of motor control and weakness. isnt it funny that i’m developing lanugo″ no its not, those were your warning signs but you- and to an extent many of the people who were supposed to help you like family and medical professionals at the time, ignored or downplayed them for the sake of productivity and function. and now youre at a point where nothing is guaranteed other than the fact that you’ve had to discuss hospice care at 25 and theres only so much that can even be done to help since the decades worth of damage has been done. 

#oversharing on my tumblr? exactly what youve come to expect #ALTHOUGH IN MY DEFENSE #I HAVE QUITE LITERALLY no idea how to 'appropriately' handle this situation #like do i just not talk about it at all? do i only speak about it vaugely? #like this is a literal life and death period in my life which makes me feel like its appropriate to talk about #but then again maybe its best to keep it quiet for now and only share about it afterwords #BUT #as you can imagine #hmm #'afterwords'

bro, i worked on the SW game [LOUD SEMI TRUCK HONK NOISE] and //we// referenced wookiepedia for reference to use on official SW media, so like, these clowns have no excuse for how often they seem to forget/ignore stuff. it does things to my blood pressure.

you are one of the coolest people who has ever popped into my inbox by dint of having worked on a star wars game, hello, hi, i'm extremely chin hands and also nosy.

but yeah like wookieepedia is right there! it's free! it is shockingly comprehensive! just use it, jonvid!

#my blood pressure has also been high #as you can imagine #ask box

[androideql]

Hmmmm, I've been replying to stuff today, but I haven't been doing a good job of writing down everyone who's reached out to me these past two weeks and I feel like I'm forgetting some people...

Having little to no object permanence even when it comes to friends is kinda hard tbh. The moment the notification gets buried, it might as well never happened, and I really don't mean to be like this.

#android talking #well it's 2 am #i should probably comb through the rest of my socials/inboxes tomorrow #sorry guys it's just that the going has been really rough lately #dissociating is the only thing relieving me from the stress of existing right now #as you can imagine #my braincells can only do so much for me

For Kanna please! 1, 10, 17, 30, 35, and 50 please!!💜

Do they have any crafting hobbies? Answered that one here!

10. Do they have any regrets? Plenty, probably more than she should have. She tends to blame herself for things that aren't even remotely her fault. A lot of her thoughts stem to "if I'd have been there I could have-" or "if only i'd known about ___ I could have stopped it" or "i shouldn't have done ___ what if this whole situation is bad forever" and the poor baby really needs to learn to take some weight off her own shoulders.

17. How easily would they be convinced to do something that goes against their morals? You'd have better luck convincing a brick wall, to be honest. She has her straight and narrow and she doesn't budge from it.

30. If they had the chance to be famous would they take it? If they are famous would they rather they weren't?

Definitely not. She really would rather prefer to work quietly from the sidelines. The only time I could see her wanting to be better-known is if she wanted to get word about something to spread quickly in order to reach one of her goals. Otherwise, no.

35. Do they believe in fate or do they believe they are in charge of their own destiny?

Ooh THANK YOU for asking about this one! I didn't even realize this question was on this list and I'm so glad it is because being in charge of her own destiny is basically Kanna's core as a character. It's what starts her story and it's what ends it. Kanna is a huge believer in the Butterfly Effect- where every action she makes will have a bigger consequence for her and her future

It's definitely her own double-edged sword in that way, because she does get into her own head about situations and worry that she'll make everything worse if she steps in. She can take the "Everything Depends on Me" mantra a little too close to heart. But it's also that level of determination that can really make her step up to the plate and work her way out of situations that other people would have given up in.

50. What is your favorite thing about them? Honestly, that exact thing I mentioned above! When Kanna decides that she can fight for something, she fights tooth and nail, and it only gets better as she gets older and realizes that she doesn't need to hold herself back from as many situations as she thinks she does. If someone tells her no and there's no good reason besides "that's just the way things are", she does everything she can to do the thing anyways.

Thanks for asking!

OC Asks <3

You were a mythology kid and like. Not even because of pjo

I was!! Still kind of am, but it's more of a passive interest. I like learning new myths.

Throbb headcanon?

Hi anon! Sorry this took me so long! I've just been looking at this ask and wondering what I haven't said about those two yet... I don't know, so I guess I'll just repeat myself if you don't mind me!

Theon was Robb's bff, not Jon or any other of his siblings.

I think their friendship started throught Robb's sheer stubborness, as Theon considered himself too mature to hang with little kids at 9/10. Later, however, he was happy to think of himself as the wiser of them!

I think Theon is happy to leave most decision-making to Robb. He's a sub at heart <3

Theon 'taught' Robb how to kiss shortly before the books started! GRRM can pry this headcanon from my cold dead hands!

Much later on, late as in like, maybe his 40s or 50s, Theon realizes that what he felt for Robb was actually romantic love. He probably names a ship King Robb or something, and I think he does kick off what will be a solid ironborn-northern relationship (as they had wanted to once) in his honor after his name is cleared as we all know is gonna happen when the words are printed

#throbb headcanons #theon centric lol #i did think up on some robb centered ones but they were too sad #as you can imagine
