X/Formerly known as Twitter user states: I was walking around Tokyo today and an old Japanese man was wearing a Palestine flag with "stop genocide in Gaza." He was handing out a newspaper article that called out Israel's occupation and how it's against humanitarian law. I took one and he asked if I understood Japanese…" [this person later clarifies in the next post that they do not, but they accepted it and they provided an image of this newspaper article they recieved, which I attached, with a Google translation of the document, which I will add English translations for that were provided by this user on X/Twitter: @ fumiyafilm

Newspaper article piece states (Google rough translation: Japanese to English):

Rather than making human rights and democracy a double standard, we should put "life and livelihood at the centre of politics." Gaza : no one stands above international humanitarian law for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. As Israel's occupation and blockade of the Gaza Strip intensifies, an emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution co-sponsored by Jordan and others calling for "humanitarian" measures with 121 votes in favor and 1444 votes against [I believe the translation captured this incorrectly -I believe they mean 144?)] (Japan is). Canada's amendment did not recieve two-thirds majority required for adoption. The difference between the two resolutions is whether or not they specify resposibility for Hamas's terrorist acts. Jordan's proposal does not name Hamas, calling the increase in violence since the October 7th attack and "act of terrorism." You could say that, Jordan's plan is supported not only by Middle Eastern countries but also countries in the so-called Global South, such as Brazil, Malaysia, and South Africa (India is in favor and France is in favor of the G7). Protecting civillains does not mean ordering more than a million people to evacuate to a place with no shelter, food, water, medicine, or fuel. What we are seeing in Gaza is a clear intentional -This is a violation of humanitarian law, and I am deeply concerned about it. No party, no matter what, stands above international humanitarian law. As UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres asserts, international public opinion (cut off on document) "war," "Arab vs. Israel," Pro-Israel is not pro-Barres," but rather a international movement calling for (unsure part of this document here) "stop the humanitarian crisis…"

#twisted wonderland #twst #sebek zigvolt #twst yuu #twst mc #malleus draconia #dragon is ryu in japanese #this turns into au #fanart #instead of being too weak he is now afraid of being too powerful and destructive #malleus is so plain without the horns #somehow i imagine s ilver is still a human #now he is called a monster for being too powerful instead of being pointed at for being too weak #hm to imagine maybe his mother fled not long after his birth bcs it would be too dangerous for her to stay at the human village #and so no one really teaches him how to control his power #maybe he only reads from books his grandfather somehow have about dragons

"No, Lamb, I do not fear Him. I do not fear you sending me to Him. Narinder and I will always meet, it is but the natural order of things, for War will always bring Death its harvest."

had another go at Shamura again....and just a little chat between them and the Lamb :) Decided to give Shamura a sickle for fun....to match with Narinder's scythe....just some silly agrarian tools of death!

#cult of the lamb #cotl lamb #cotl shamura #cult of the lamb fanart #my art #I was looking at Shamura's lil frown and I was like OH.....sort of reminds me of the jaws of a Japanese Oni mask...... #so they're inspired by that now lol #is this dialogue from my fic? perhaps....perhaps not #shamura's just kinda the type to say cryptic shit that doesn't make sense right. smile. #one day I'll like. do less sloppy fanart but for now.....take this #cotl narinder

Charles Leclerc went from P8 to P4.

On a one-stop strategy.

By putting on an absolute masterclass in driver management.

I don’t think there are many other drivers on the grid (if any) who could have managed that.

Driver of the Day and it isn’t even close.

And Jules … I know he is so proud of Charles right now ❤️

#let’s not talk about how the only reason he was overtaken is because sainz was on much newer tires #ferrari will ferrari #i will instead focus on charles leclerc being absolutely insane in the best way #he could have easily been on the podium if ferrari decided to keep up their pattern of team orders from the australian gp … #f1 #formula 1 #formula one #charles leclerc #cl16 #scuderia ferrari #japanese gp 2024 #japan gp 2024

Ok so my friend said that Ice King is basically an anime girl (huge ass, keeps getting in situations where his muumuu gets blown to reveal said huge ass, has a gay little run, etc.) And I um. My hand slipped. 😇

melody leorio and kurapika somehow find a chance to take a break and Chill together (I don't know how or when, but I want it for them lol)

for a vday exchange in discord!! this was right up my alley hehe, was very excited to draw these three again ^_^

#was lazy and got the floor texture from an unsplash photo ^^; #btw it's probably not worth the time to decipher but kurapika is reading a real life book. some important literature #may or may not have put a bit too much effort into converting it from english to japanese to hunter text (wikipedia helped thanks wikipedia #hunter x hunter #hxh #leorio paladiknight #melody hxh #senritsu #kurapika #leomelopika #leokurasen #<- prompt was for queerplatonic gen romantic or otherwise & i think this could be interpreted as any one of those as you prefer!

How did Riku talking about Slapping Sora awake get translated to

It's my job to keep him on his toes

It's so funny that he talks about it casually with Donald Goofy and Mickey right before taking the dive a second time.

And the gestures look like ah yes he's showing how he might slap him, but in the English version THEY ACTUALLY EDITED SO HE DOESN'T SWUNG HIS HAND ALL THE WAY 😭😭

#kingdom hearts #translation #japanese translations #dream drop distance #soriku #kingdom hearts dream drop distance #riku #kh riku #sora #kh sora #the fact they edited it too #kh translations #kh ddd #edit: didn't expect this to get this many notes wow #also I get why change happened it makes sense because some could misinterpret things since jp cultural is different from american cultural #though I still think it's funny #localization vs translation differences is just interesting to me
