More talks about translation, regarding gender

So, more "heavily" gendered languages have this duality in whcih every noun has a grammatical gender but at the same time, gramatical gender does not equal actual gender.

Like, "una persona" is grammatically fememine, but it is totally normal to say "Pedro es una persona simpática" (Pedro is a friendly person). Even if the adjectives are female sounding, it doesn't imply Pedro's gender.

Still, at times it is difficult to find a good equivalent, especially for words that have the same base morpheme, but use a genered suffix, like "sobrino/a/e" (nephew, niece, nibling)

Let's take the words "child" and "sibling" as an example. And other ways of getting away with not gendering someone.

Let's start with Child

Child is a pretty vague word in English because it can denote age, or someone's relation with someone else.

To denote age it is: "niño/niña" (niñe if you welcome neopronouns).

To denote a familiar relation, you have "hijo/a" (hije) for casual speech, and "descendiente" which sounds way more distant but also formal. Descendiente does NOT denote gender by itself but by the article used next to it (el/la)

"La Descendiente Femenina" works if you're looking for a formal title that applies to Hornet. Not my favorite but it's functional enough.

The only other usage I can think of is "the traitor's child" which turned into "la descendiente del traidor". It works because "la" denotes gender (no lesbian erasure here), and descendant denotes relation but not age.

The Hollow Knight translation (in Spanish at least) does avoid gendered words that have a female alternative for the vessels. But not always, and it tends to default to male. But I'd say it only really happens in cases where no alternative exists.

Examples

When Mato adopts the Knight he actually uses neither of those words and instead calls them "mi retoño". It translates literally to "my sprout" and it sounds really affectionate, and while it is grammatically male it does not imply gender as strongly as "hijo" would.

The Old Stag refers to it as "pequeñín" instead of "little one" and that works because pequeñín is more affectionate than just plain "pequeño/a/e" but it doesn't immediately denote a gender.

Other notable examples of not using gendered words:

"Enclenque insignificante" (lit: insignificant wimp), which replaces "Tiny Squib"

"Vasija Pura" = Pure Vessel. Again Vasija is an object that does not denote gender

"Receptáculo Roto" = Broken Vessel

"Familiar Perdido" = Lost Kin

The word "sibling"

See that word's an issue. It only translates to "hermano/a/e". Hermane is not conventional yet though and is a neonoun

So, that sadly means that "Sealed Siblings" is "Hermanos Sellados" since it defaults to male unless everyone is female.

It also means the "siblings" enemies are translated as "hermano".

The problem is that while you can talk about siblings in a vague way and it is not uncommon to default to grammatically male nouns when you don't know the person, it is a bit different when you DO and therefore it weights more as a gendered term.

No pronouns

This is the other way to be ambiguous, without relying on neopronouns (I actually prefer no pronouns for myself and it works).

The benefit of Spanish grammar is that as long as other context elements make it clear who is being alluded to, you can omit pronouns, "¿Es lo suficiente fuerte?" (is it strong enough?, Hornet's Dream Nail dialogue) The phrase itself doesn't have a subject but it is implied by the verb conjugation.

I love having a moment of panic when I think that I've lost my ticket but it was just in a pocket that I don't normally put things in.

I’ve never thought about Jason Todd having milky eyes before. It’s pretty common in fics for him to have unnaturally green eyes. But I just love love LOVE the idea of Jason giving off unnatural vibes. Like any citizen of Gotham could walk up to him and think “oh a normal young adult” but after 5 minutes they start noticing things. Like how slightly pale he looks, the scar poking out the top of his shirt, the far off look in his eyes, and “why is he wearing a leather jacket in the middle of summer”

He will live the rest of his life haunted by his own death. Not only Jason… but Bruce too. Every time he has to look into Jason’s eyes, Bruce is going to be reminded of his greatest failure.

#Bruce looking at jasons face and seeing his little boy #but then those milky eyes #slap him right in the face #ooooo yummmmyyyyy #jason Todd #dc jason todd #red hood #dc red hood #batfam #batfamily #bruce wayne #Batman #dc batman #oooo god

Steve always thought Eddie was beautiful.

He never let himself linger too long on it in fear of what he might see if he let himself look. If he let himself dust off the dirt that lay on top of it, too overwhelmed by the possibility that he really hadn’t had himself figured out the way he thought he did.

But it’s true.

Like the sky knows clouds that filter in and out of eyesight, like the moon knows the unwavering devotion of the tide, Steve knows this to be a fact as irrefutable as the nature of gravity:

Eddie Munson is beautiful.

It’s in the way his hair bounces with every step. These springy, frizzy little curls that Steve desperately wants to know, intimately, the way he knows his own. Wants to compare them, wants to feel them in the spaces between his fingers, the sensitive parts that nothing else really touches.

It’s in the way he lights up a room as soon as he steps into it, a walking sun that burns so bright that he leaves the hole of every space he was once in great and gaping and singed at the edges. Everything he touches turns to gold, everyone he meets ruined for anyone else.

It’s in the way he carries himself. Tall when people are looking and small when they aren’t, like his body is a show that no one ever willingly buys tickets for but ends up seated front row at regardless.

Steve would buy tickets.

If he had known, if he had been brave enough when it really counted, he would have bought tickets.

There is no one like Eddie, and there never will be again.

But it doesn’t matter now.

Because Eddie is still beautiful, Steve thinks, even when he’s pale.

Even when his skin is sallow and sunken, even when his big brown eyes are tucked behind grayed eyelids.

Even when Steve himself was the one to shut them, but only after he spent nearly an hour gazing into their emptiness.

His hair is shorter now, the frayed edges trimmed by Wayne. He’d laughed as he did it, a sad little hitch in his throat, because apparently Eddie never let him cut his hair when he was younger.

When his blood flowed warm through his arteries, when his skin was still pink.

Wayne said he used to bounce his leg so hard that he was worried he was going to stab the scissors right through his thick skull.

So Eddie grew his hair out, split ends running wild.

But Steve still thought he was beautiful. Frizzy hair and all.

Steve’s never seen him dressed so fancy, not even for his own graduation.

But then again, he never got to try on that suit he borrowed from Wayne. Never got to see just how long the sleeves were, because he never got to be as tall as his uncle, did he?

No, Eddie never got the chance.

Never got the chance to he a normal boy with a normal childhood. To grow into the man he could have become and then into the world that was always too small to fit him.

Eddie Munson: born to die in Hawkins, Indiana.

If only he had tried just a little bit harder.

Fought just a little bit longer.

But he did his best, didn’t he?

Steve certainly thinks so.

Steve thinks he looks beautiful, now, still, always. He tucks a trimmed curl behind his ear, wishes he could have known what it would feel like if his skin were warm.

But it’s okay. He’ll know the feeling one day.

Next time.

Next time, they’ll try again. They’ll try harder.

Next time, Steve won’t be afraid to tell Eddie how beautiful he is.

Won’t be afraid of what comes after, because it will be different.

It won’t end with Eddie, sallow and skinny in a suit six sizes too big for him.

It won’t end with Eddie, pale and pretty as ever, laying in the coffin that’s been on reserve for him since the day he was born.

Next time will be different, see, because it won’t end.

They’ll do it right.

Steve will do it right.

And Eddie will still be beautiful, and Steve will tell him so.

A sorta rant about Sam from Stardew Valley and his 4 heart event cuz i cant sleep and hes my wee lil goober

So apparently sam is a pretty underrated bachelor mainly due to his behaviour and personality in heart events that can cause him to come off as “immature and too young” which yea it’s understandable. So this is coming off from a perspective of a almost 20 year old uni student who really find Sam rather interesting and relatable.

So seems like a lot of people tend to point out his 4 and 10 heart events (sometime 6 even) as to their reason on finding Sam like a bit distasteful. I wanna talk about his 4 heart event cuz the more i looked back onto it, the more it hits me and find him very relatable in terms of personal experiences. So lemme bring up his 4 hear event and give yall my personal lense of it.

The 4 heart event has Sam trying to get you a snack but dropped an egg by accident, which caught Jodi’s attention.

And of course Sam seemed distressed about it, and so is Jodi’s reaction as she got mad about something as minuscule as an egg crack on the kitchen floor. We as the player has to be the one to tell Jodi what happen (where you can either tell what actually happened or choose to lie and say you dropped the egg btw)

Pretty much the best option is to lie and say you did it, and Jodi forgives you and plays it cool ofc. Jodi gives off the same reaction when you tell the truth and said that Sam dropped by accident.

I’m guessing that’s because it’s YOU who’s telling her what happened rather than it coming from Sam, which of course Jodi would be a bit more forgiving so she would cause a scene in front of their guest. Had you not been there and its just a casual day in their household, it’s likely that Sam will get hella berated and scolded by Jodi over an egg.

It seems very subtle I guess but Sam not responding to Jodi’s question may be the cause of previous experience with causing minor accidents around the house and getting scolded by his Mom. He may also seem really scared to respond with the truth, fearing his mom’s reaction hence relies on you to do the talking.

And personally, this had happened to me a lot growing up, with my mom literally scolding the fuck outta me if I ever made a minor mess or an accident around the house, so it did impacted me growing up anf maturing into adulthood. I remember as a kid I had to lie a lot because i fear that she would shout at me or worse hit me and yikes that got a wee bit dark didnt it bruh.

Sam may have not mature out in that department and of course it would have to do with his upbringing, being raised by Jodi and having an absent father as well which i’d say makes him hard to be mentally matured.

So yea i guess that all i gotta say and since this is all just speculation and basically my interpretation of this heart event, do take it with a grain of salt.

I might make a revised version of this to make it more cohesive and shit, i mean like i literally am writing this at 3am so meow :3

Y’all are welcomed to reply or reblog to open up a discussion and id love to hear and chat with you about your thoughts and insight about this hehe :D

goodnight gois!!! especially to you Sam stans out there!!!
