Homophones Are Hard

NPC: I must set all eight of these braziers alight, or I cannot leave, but these creatures keep blowing them out!

Druid (looking visibly confused): That’s… extremely strange.

NPC: Exactly! Never get into a deal with a hag.

Druid: Oh, no, I got that part, hags suck. I just don’t get why the bras. 

*silence*

DM, OOC: They’re ‘braziers’, not 'brassieres’. Braziers? Like a metal bowl full of wood?

Druid, OOC: Ohhhhhhhhhh. That makes a lot more sense.

*entire table loses it*

Outfit planning for my Vocaloid space opera au that plays inside my brain. They'd all be androids but Neru/Teto/Haku would be made up of pirated software and an unofficial unbranded AI while they all fly in space together.

#vocaloid #heavily influenced by some tera no e outfits ahdfasdjafkfadh #haku and miku would have the same product code and haku would be based off of an earlier module #rin and len share a production code and ai server but are different from each other in personality and gender #kaito would have lived for years as a failed space explorer for years before getting his current crew #in this au all official androids would have teal glowing eyes while unofficial ones would have red eyes #rival ships would have different companys' vocaloids or vocal synths #it's a very rough drawing but i figured someone might get a kick out of it idk #hatsune miku #kasane teto #megurine luka #kagamine rin #kagamine len #kaito vocaloid #meiko vocaloid #akita neru #yowane haku

I decided to go on a Hiatus because I want to step back from prsk fandom buat I need to say something about this take (warning for Ensekai leaks)

Translation is fucking hard

What's impressive about this scene is Tsukasa specifically use BOKU (僕) and not his preferred pronoun ORE (オレ) to call himself

The emphasis is there so the JP readers could understand how impactful the fact that Tsukasa is not even using his preferred first pronoun because he's actually not being himself but being RIO EVEN IN HIS OWN HEAD

Tsukasa isn't being himself. On the contrary, he's completely, 100% become Rio at that moment

While English has a lot of third person pronouns, Japan has a lot of first person pronouns (compared to English measly "I"). Just like Western has their preferred pronouns, so does Japanese (of course their 1st person pronoun is interchangeable in the context of social interactions). Too bad that this nuance for Tsukasa's dialogue can't be replicated in English. I argue that putting emphasis on the "I" actually do Jack Shit because the emphasis is on the DIFFERENT PRONOUN IN JP. It's like when you hear someone calls a person as a "he" for a long time but then one person suddenly calls that person as "she" (I think, I know western are kinda sensitive on their pronouns but I can't really relate). Anyway it's THAT jarring

The second line is where the tl team kinda needs to wrack their brain, 届かない. No subject, no object. The scene before the sentence flashed back to Tsukasa crying after remembering how he felt how unreachable his own Phoenix is, and it's how he understands Rio's helplessness right at that moment. Using "it" actually makes the sentence sounds pretty vague. What does "it" refer to? "The level that he wants to reach?" It only applied to Tsukasa and not Rio. "The phoenix"? Kinda rude to call the phoenix as "it" though. Besides, using EN pronouns, Tsukasa's phoenix is a "he" while Rio's phoenix is a "she". That's why JP can have that sweet ambiguity while the EN translators need to think super hard about the implied object here.

There's two nuances happening here, and the Ensekai tl team decided to translate it by context of Tsukasa AS Rio: "I can't reach her". I'm guessing that they agreed that the flashback to that scene in chapter 7 means that Tsukasa at that moment completely understands Rio, HE'S RIO BECAUSE HE USES 僕, so they decided that it's Rio's thought and not Tsukasa even though the text box says Tsukasa and the JP implied that Rio and Tsukasa become one. I think the the EN line is okay, kinda missing some deep nuances but that's what translation is. You can't expect to be able to translate all those cultural nuances.

Maybe the alternatives might be "I can't reach my/the phoenix?" More straightforward but we can have a nice title drop lol

#I'm working on my master's degree on translation rn so I know I have some rights to critique some official translation choices #The one about 大好き into cares about is kinda 50:50 but I guess they use modulation cause in JP 大好き CAN be used platonically #The Ensekai team knows that both JP and en prsk fandom is infamous for discourses so they tried to make it as platonic as possible #The JP fandom is (arguably) calmer than the en one but it's still bad in terms of animangamobage JP fandom #It's 1 am and I'm sleepy #prsk #project sekai #hatsune miku colorful stage #When i heard Tsukasa's 僕 in his inner dialogue I screamed because HOLY SHIT HE REALLY DID BECOME RIO #So I guess the Ensekai tl team also went along with yeah that's Rio #He's weak so he can't reach his phoenix which is a she

You know what? I give up on this paper once and for all. I'm not even ashamed anymore

#okay I'm a little ashamed #it's another 5 points i have to catch up with next semester #but it's making me want to kill myself and i don't even know if the professor would still accept it #(the original deadline was in October. i got an official extension until November. i guess it'd be just rude #to ask if it was still okay to send it #especially since i haven't done any substantial work on it #it's just bad. i hate the topic. i hate the way the professor views the subject 'language and emotion' #so that i cannot write what i want but would have to tailor it towards her views because otherwise I'd fail #and also i cannot write in german. i simply can not do it. ) #it's better to move on and focus on my last paper for last semester (official deadline is end of March #so I'm not behind for once) #and i should do the assignments for a module i should have finished 1 year ago #so i don't have to do that next semester #and i should start studying korean again so i don't make a complete fool of myself next semester #I have my first day of work in 2 weeks so I'll also have to focus on working (for money) from there on #I've been paralyzed by the thought of having to write this paper for way too long #the professor is not my boss anymore (i still have to work off some hours though) and even if she was #I'm so done being ashamed of myself for not being able to do certain things #i wanna give it my best from now on but not for this paper. it's done. #void screams

YOUTUBE MUSIC

Hey! The ellipsis button (⋮) is broken!! AGain!! I just realised The Existential Threat by Sparks has an official album version and I'm trying to clean up my halloween playlist by replacing videos with actual official releases, but I CAN'T!!!! FIX UR SITE

#youtube music #yt music #rant #/hj #i say that cuz obviously youtube music or youtube or google or alphabet or whoever works on the website version of youtube music obviously #ren't on tumblr and it's a joke but i've got an irrational fear that it'll be taken as me being internet illiterate because that has happen #d to me multiple times and then i add a bit saying im not serious and then people are like “i get that nitwit” (paraphrasing) but ig it has #'t happened to me on tumblr yet so um #what was i saying?? oh yeah yt music is a necessary evil #walkertalkers #btw if ur on android then you can go onto the website of youtube music and click the ellipsis button by the link itself of the website like #to the right of the url and then you can just get the website as an app instead of whatever the yt music app team cooked up and i think it #sed to have that as a feature on chromebooks but it disappeared once the actual app version released but idk i've already got it #youtube music is good because you can listen to songs on it that aren't officially released like take on me literal edition by DustoMcNeato #or the most mysterious song on the internet (which i'll add to my halloween playlist once the ELLIPSE BUTTON WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!) but it sux #uz it's a subsidiary of youtube (proper) whcih is so glitchy like for example i watch my videos on youtube (proper) at 2x speed but on cons #le or tv the video and audio don't sync and now i've been getting my ads on youtube (proper) at 2x speed which like props youtube if its on #purpose but it probably isnt because google is evil and its nice but i get music videos as ads on youtube (proper) (and also yt music but t #at doesn't matter cuz you don't have speed modulation on yt music cuz that'd be stupid) and so i can't hear the song right cuz IT"S AT 2X S #EED!!!!!!!!! by the way watching youtube at 2x speed is good cuz double the content per time but also don't do it because it screws over cr #ators cuz watch time. #i should probably stop listening to the existential threat by sparks on repeat

The DnD campaign I'm joining is the Out of the Abyss module, which mostly takes place in the Underdark, so I'm finally getting to use a homebrew myconid race I've had my eye on for a while.

Their backstory so far is basically that they're a myconid that got SUPER into the carefree and independent lifestyle they perceive other races to have, so they eventually threw themself into being a cleric for an evil god and not only eviscerated their colony but went on a violent crusade burning and destroying everything everywhere they went. Had fun for like three days until the drow saw that and decided to start hunting them down, so they've been hiding out for a few months to wait for a chance to try and get to the surface. And for better and for worse, they're soon gonna run into a group of people that just broke out of prison and also have the drow hunting them down.

My one issue so far (other than figuring out appearance, since I can't draw) is trying to figure out a name. There's no guide for names for these mushroom people and I'm not wholly sure of what to do...

#makotalk #originally their god was talos but idk... maybe an original god would be fun. however since its an official module it'll probably be talos
