i saw this scene being uploaded in english the other day and i can't not rewatch the japanese version because, you know, seiyuu brainrot and whatnot. translations (completely my own) under the cut.
Prompto: What're you doing?
Noctis: Nothing, really. Just spacing out.
Prompto: Huh. I see.
[ Leave him alone / Talk about something random / Wait for him to speak ]
Noctis: Hmph—
Prompto: We went through so much today, huh?
Noctis: Everything's so new to us, too.
Prompto: You can say that again. Things have been super hard, but I didn't expect every day to be so much fun. Y'see, everything I see is new to me.
Prompto: I never expected things to turn out this way or to go out on a trip together.
Noctis: Yeah.
Prompto: How long have we known each other again? It's since high school... So five years?
Noctis: But I've known you for longer. Was it since elementary school?
Prompto: Eh? How'd you remember that?
Noctis: 'Course I'd remember. You stared at me so much.
Prompto: Ugh. [nervous laughter] You see, that's because I have my reasons...
Noctis: But you were still like, "Nice to meet ya!" at the high school entrance ceremony.
Prompto: I had to really brace myself to talk to you that time.
Prompto: [sighs] Kinda takes me back.
Noctis: You could've just talked to me, you know.
Prompto: I know it's easy for you to say— You wouldn't understand, Noct.
Prompto: Back then, I—
Prompto: Sorry, man. It really is nothing.
[ Ask him out of concern / You're concerned but you don't force it out of him / You won't get mad so ask him to be honest ]
Noctis: What is up with that? Just say it.
Prompto: [sighs] All right.
Prompto: You see...
Prompto: I used to be unable to reach out to other people.
Prompto: And I... didn't have anyone that I could call a true friend.
Prompto: I was always by myself.
Prompto: So sometimes I end up thinking maybe I'm not worth anything.
Was suddenly overcome by nostalgia and in a frenzy wrote my own english lyrics for Sakura Kiss (Ouran HSHC) just now while in the shower MFNSMND it was fun and I'm actually p proud of these... Sharing in case anyone wants to do a cover w these lyrics!!🥹 (pls credit and show me if u do🥺)
I also did a v quick recording (v out of breath😵💫) to show how the lyrics match up w the song 🫣 LMAO (i dropped my phone in the beginning KFJSJ)
EDIT: I did a new cover here! A bit less out of breath this time🤧
(raw text under cut)
Sakura Kiss
(milkbreadtoast ver)
KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE (HEY HEY HEY)
I've realized that all this time... you've always been right here with me
But is it hate, or like, or am I going crazy?
If i could look inside my heart
and see my feelings clear as day,
lady or host, it doesn't(/wouldn't) matter either way.
When love comes into our lives,
we dont always know why
but when i look in your eyes...
MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE
I want(/need) to see you now
so I can give you a cherry blossom kiss, and if your heartbeat skips then it's love you know!
rio was slouched over with a huge frown on his face. if he was an actual dog, his tail would’ve been tucked between his legs and he would’ve looked ten times more depressed.
“there. that’s one eye done,” cal sighed as he stood back to admire his work. the pigment on rio’s eyelid was black like charcoal that made him look like a raccoon. “you’re so slow ellis.”
“shh. i’m working my magic,” ellis said. the thin bristles of his brush was damp with pigment as he went in for the final touch to the look. eyeliner. with a steady and practiced hand, he gracefully glided the brush just above rio’s lash line. the black eyeliner was a harsh contrast to the pink-rose colored eyeshadow that was blended harmoniously on the eyelid.
“woah. that was so cool! i wanna try now,” cal said.
but ellis promptly stopped him. “you’ll stab his eye out.”
“can i put the lipstick on?” ana asked.
“no. i’ll do it,” ellis said.
“hey, you’re being really bossy…” ana frowned.
“yeah, you already did one eye too!” cal agreed.
“w-well that’s just because i know how to do it! my father taught me all his tips and tricks!” ellis defended himself like a threatened cat.
“unlcle yves taught me how to do stuff too…” ana said.
ellis sighed, “fine. but i want to choose the color.” he picked a nice rosy color to match the work he did on his side of rio’s face. anastasia carefully traced the outline of rio’s lips and filled the rest of it in. “hmm, not bad.”
anastasia smiled at his compliment. “see?”
“dearie me, is this how we treat our foreign guests now?”
