love me in the snow, love me in the sun, love me, the beige skin among the flowers of red" ∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄

Inspired in part by beloved Gravity, by @katnissmellarkkk and by Roi, by Videoclub! The song doesn't have the everlark vibes per se but the lyrics are so cute and very snapshot like. The fic is perfect, very natural paced and full of longing, 100% recommend!!! Please do zoom in for hi-res, gave my life and tears for this one 💖

#everlark #just wanted to do bits of their life post mj #not as angsty as it should be #i know #but this kids! they've been thru enough #also so funny that videoclub is literally a teenage couple #excuse my actual french and free translation #both these languages are not my original one #might find some brazilian song to everlark to next #thg #thg series #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #peeniss #katniss and peeta #post mockingjay #gurin illustrates thg

As much as I adore conlangs, I really like how the Imperial Radch books handle language. The book is entirely in English but you're constantly aware that you're reading a "translation," both of the Radchaai language Breq speaks as default, and also the various other languages she encounters. We don't hear the words but we hear her fretting about terms of address (the beloathed gendering on Nilt) and concepts that do or don't translate (Awn switching out of Radchaai when she needs a language where "citizen," "civilized," and "Radchaai person" aren't all the same word) and noting people's registers and accents. The snatches of lyrics we hear don't scan or rhyme--even, and this is what sells it to me, the real-world songs with English lyrics, which get the same "literal translation" style as everything else--because we aren't hearing the actual words, we're hearing Breq's understanding of what they mean. I think it's a cool way to acknowledge linguistic complexity and some of the difficulties of multilingual/multicultural communication, which of course becomes a larger theme when we get to the plot with the Presgar Translators.

#imperial radch #also a great example of the 'you don't have to be Tolkien' phenomenon #if you want to think about linguistic differences by building all the languages in your setting #and being able to explain what those differences are through actual texts in the language in question #that's AWESOME #but it's not the only way to do it #it's also interesting because of course this style only works in book form #everyone's speaking different languages but in a written account they're all 'translated' for you #but of course if it was a TV series they would all have to be speaking a language the audience understands #(or you *would* have to go wild with conlangs) #and i think that's really cool as well-- #how for a series where song is so central we don't actually hear any of the actual in-universe words or any of the music #it's all been filtered #and again you know this is happening but seeing the examples of how real songs--the shape hymns and 'L'homme Arme'--are presented #makes you a lot more viscerally aware of how limited your perspective is #it's good #ann leckie i love you

there was his angel, wrapped tightly around him.

from chapter 2 of death wish by @remedyturtles

Ben Harper - Waiting On An Angel

я завершила перевод «Я может, и не видим...»! вау. вау. я очень хочу радоваться сильнее, но слишком устала.

плюс вот вам еще парочка фиков из серии «желания умереть».

About that post.

I decided start with the translations with one of my favorites

Evidence

When I say that I stopped loving you

It's because I love you

When I say I don't want you

It's because I want you

I'm afraid to give you my heart

And confess that I am in your hands

But I can't imagine

What will be of me

If one day I lose you

I turn away and defend myself from you

But then I surrender

I pretend and I say things that I'm not

But then I deny

Is that the truth

Is that I'm crazy about you

And I'm afraid to think about losing you

I need to accept that there's no way

To keep our lives apart

And in this madness of saying that I don't want you

I'm denying appearances

disguising the evidence

But why live pretending

If I can't fool my heart?

I know that I love you!

Stop the lies

To deny my desire

I want you more than anything

I need feel your kiss

I can give you my life

For you to do what you want with me

I just want to hear you agree!

Say that it's true, say that you miss it

that you still think a about me

Say that it's true, say that you miss it

That you still want to live for me

I'm so fucking tired of people reading into everything that's Jewish or Israeli with bad faith.

I'm also tired of people who have large platforms spreading misinformation

#yes this is about hasan and his twitch stream listening to the “genocidal hip hop song” #like he watched a video with a translation that was incorrect #if you know hebrew or found the video which has the “correct translation” you would know that its not a genocidal song #i put correct in quotations as not every word in any language can have its true meaning be translated into english #also the meaning of the song boiled down is “you fucked around now its time to find out” #also it is a bop #and stilla is hot #new celebrity crush unlocked lol #jumblr #Israel
