I don’t think ratio and aventurine ever actually date. I think they have like the most insane 5 year long psychosexual situationship and then the moment they realize they genuinely both care about each other they just get married.

lost in translation (ch 10)

a (non-exhaustive) list of differences or cultural references i noted down for the translation of chapter 10 while watching the chn and eng versions side-by-side. previously i did the same thing for chapter 9.

disclaimer: i am not fluent in chinese, so keep in mind that there will be mistakes. feel free to let me know if you have questions, concerns, or comments.

overall: not too much stood out to me. after looking back on my comments on ch 9, i guess there was less awkwardness in this chapter's translation since i didn't really make a notice things like clunky grammar or sentences. i feel like most of these examples are more like fun facts or nitpicking rather than things i really feel like i need to correct.

rhinoceros horn

心有灵犀一点通, or just 心有灵犀, is a well-known idiom that uses the rhinoceros horn as a metaphor. the idiom definition from the pleco dictionary app:

(idiom) hearts which beat in unison are linked; hearts linked as one, just as the proverbial rhinoceros communicates emotion telepathically through his single horn (idiom); fig. two hearts beat as one

so it can be used to describe people who are connected or very in sync. and here's the description of the rhino horn, also from a pleco definition:

magic horn (i.e. rhinoceros horn with its threadlike white core, mentioned in old texts as having a high sensibility)—heartbeat in unison 身无彩凤双飞翼, 心有灵犀一点通。(李商隐《无题》) Shēn wú cǎi fèng shuāngfēi yì, xīn yǒu língxī yīdiǎn tōng. For bodies no fluttering side by side of splendid phoenix wings, | Between hearts the one minute thread from root to tip of the magic horn. (The second line is often quoted as meaning a meeting of minds.)

the white threadlike core connecting each end of the horn is why it's used as a metaphor for connection; considering this imagery, having the horn hold the wick of a candle also makes perfect sense.

i know the story focused on the role of the rhinoceros horn in 异苑 "Bizarre Gardens", but i'm not familiar with the work so i won't try to add beyond the game's explanation :') i'm just noting the reference that i was aware of

10-1

no issues with the translation, but there's a bit of wordplay in the chinese version. translated more literally, it would be something like "and once the round was over, the pawn [棋子] simply became something to be discarded [弃子】." the bolded words are near-homophones, both pronounced "qizi" with just a difference in tone.

10-3

the number four is seen as unlucky in chinese culture (and other east asian cultures) since its pronunciation sounds like the word for "death". by extension, the number 14 is also unlucky, which is why prankster started the "ghost" appearances on the 14th floor of the building.

general note on translation; a lot of times in the narration, short descriptors are lost in the process of chn -> eng, probably since the full translation would make the sentence a bit unwieldy. usually it's not super important or the the meaning that it carries is made redundant through other context. for example, in 10-3, when they're discussing the culprit of the mischief in the office:

this contains the phrase "artem, who [the culprit] hates". this could be considered redundant through context (because why else would someone be targeting artem in this way?) but in eng, they don't specify this as it does in the original text.

another example in 10-5 when they confront the fortuneteller:

there were a few adverbs dropped from the translation in this section. i picked this one since it had the most change; in chn, she casually glances over it, but in eng, she "inspects" it which sounds much more thorough.

10-13

陆景和一改刚才冷峻严肃的模样，直接不顾形象地斜坐在会议室的长桌上。 Marius changes from his cold demeanor from earlier, and he sits down at the long table in the conference room with no regard for his image.

i... feel like the meaning got flipped to its opposite meaning and it's so puzzling that i'm still wondering if i'm just interpreting it wrong?? hence my typing out the chn text too, so other people can check it as well. i even tried a few different machine translations but this is still my conclusion. anyway, if my analyses so far are correct, this would be the second time that marius's personality becomes a bit harsher after the eng translation (it happened before in ch 9).

10-21

If it weren't for the fact that the copy [of the report] was still there and that it was something I had only mentioned to Artem, I would have thought that he had long since known what I was planning to do next.

also a sentence flipped to basically the opposite meaning, to the point that i doubt myself, but i think this time it's because the sentence is a bit long with a lot of confusing negatives

10-26

When visiting Brigid Gries:

You: Yeah, gege's right! Don't worry, you'll be fine! // [Brigid's writing:] "Thank you, shushu and jiejie" // Without stopping to tease that "shushu", you and Artem exchange a glance.

this is another situation with ways of addressing people in chinese; please check my comments on the scene in chapter 9-14 if you want an explanation of the terms.

rip rosa. you tried xD but looks like artem can't escape the shushu/uncle allegations 😔 and Brigid even called rosa "older sister" right in front of them both... ice cold.

also this time, jerome is just himself shushu

now switching scenes to vyn:

on second thought this might be too trivial, but whatever, we're already here and i have the screenshot and i'm a vyn blog. basically in chinese, vyn "looks up at Matthew Richter with a smile that's not quite a smile." that's pretty much the most literal definition of the phrase, and since it's vyn we can probably already assume that the smile wouldn't be a simple happy one, but yeah. now the last one!

I have decided that I want to become a hero. No, that's not right. It's not that I want to…

revised version leads more naturally into his next sentence as he explains himself. this is actually a nice transition since i'm going to mention this scene again in another post about ch 10, so stay tuned!! and thanks for reading, let me know what thoughts you had about this or the chapter ^^

#tears of themis #tot rosa #artem wing #marius von hagen #tot translation #tot artem #vyn richter #tot vyn #tot marius #lol carefully checking which characters are actually mentioned in this post since there are few (petty) things i hate more than spam taggin #thoughts of themis #ALMOST FORGOT THAT ONE #should i make ''lost in translation'' a tag?? or should i make people just scavenge for those posts on my blog

hi, @kinosternon! I was your Secret Santa for @natsume-ss :3

here is a small drawing of the boys! they're taking care of Kitamoto who caught a cold. I imagine it happened because they had a snowball fight near the shallow river and poor Kitamoto fell in because of a stray snowball into the face :"D but no need to worry, he is in good hands :3

wishing happy and peaceful holidays to you! 💚✨️✨️💚

I hate the fact that I'm actually gonna post something, but I know if I don't say something, nobody's ever gonna know but me and then I'm gonna forget and this'll never be known and I'll never (possibly) write it 👹...

SO. YKNOW HOW MASK IS USUALLY PORTRAYED TO BE A LIL GREMLIN IN EVERY SINGLE FIC?

HELL, HE MOST LIKELY *IS* JUST CANONLY A GREMLIN, IF I GO BY REMEMBERING THE OOT MANGA. I CAN'T REMEMBER MUCH OF THE MAJORA'S MASK ONE THO, I HAVE TO REREAD IT TO BE SURE

BUT ANYWAYS, ANYWAYS, HEAR ME OUT.

GREGORY IS USUALLY WRITTEN TO BE A GREMLIN IN FICS, HE TECHNICALLY *IS* A GREMLIN IN SECURITY BREACH

MASK IS USUALLY WRITTEN TO BE A GREMLIN, AND HE MOST LIKELY IS A GREMLIN IN THE COMICS

I KNOW PEOPLE DON'T REALLY LIKE SECURITY BREACH ALL THAT MUCH BECAUSE THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED CAUSE IT WASN'T VERY SCARY? BUT HEAR ME OUT, SECURITY BREACH AU. MASK IS GREGORY IN THIS CASE, WARRIORS COULD BE FREDDY IN THIS CASE, AND THEN THE REST COULD BE WHOEVER THE HELL YOU WANT

I suck at writing and copying personalities too, so even if I wanted to write this by myself, it would suck 💀!!!!!

I'VE GOT MORE IDEAS, BUT IF I DIDN'T JUST GET THE GENERAL CONCEPT OUT SOMEWHERE, I KNOW I'D FORGET ANYWAYS.

But please.......I beg...... someone has to write this....(not unless they want to ofc!, I'm just getting it out before I forget, and I feel it's too good to just keep for myself idk 👍)

#warriors linked universe #lu mask #it technically doesn't have to be linked universe?#I don't know what to tag this as im new to tagging I'm sorry #would this count as fnaf security breach au?#is that even a tag #oh god ok anyways #I can probably ramble about this more if y'all want idk #thanks for listening to my ted talk/hj #writing ideas #almost forgot that one

You know what...fuck it I'll try some writing again, here's a little drabble about Zuke and his relationship with love

@lesbiancyborg I HAVE RETURNED AND NOW I SHALL VANISH ONCE MORE

Zuke is in love. He knows better than most that the word 'love' is a heavy word to utter with meaning. Being in love means you feel so many wonderful things about someone or something that even the brief thought or mention can bring a smile on your face and saturate the pinks and reds around you. Being in love means that every day you wake up you want to wake up and they're the first thing you see, welcoming you to the world of wakefulness by simply laying beside you. Being in love means all those small mundane tasks become so much more when they're with you, arms around your waist as you start off the day, a chaste kiss on your cheek as you both sit at the table, a steady hand gently pressed against the small of your back as you wash the dishes. Being in love seems so wonderful and warm, but it's so hard to know if you are in love.

Zuke had been in love before. In college he felt the warmth and joy that love brings when he thought about her. She was so very special to him. She spoke about things in ways he'd never heard before, sounding like music as she opened his eyes to new worlds. Every furrow of his brow was met with a soft laugh that sounded so care free and warm it melted his expression into a slack grin. All his confusion was met with patience and explanation, she never let him stay in the dark and that made him fall ever the more deeper in love with her. She was so very gentle with him, treating him not like he was made of glass, but rather he was one of her first art projects, a piece so filled with memories and fondness that you cannot help but treat it like it's the most precious thing in the world, and maybe it is.

But, she is also why Zuke knows love is a heavy word to use with meaning. For he did say that he loved her with meaning, but it didn't last. He doesn't know when or how it happened, or who even fell out of love first, but the warmth and security they had was fading. Though, it's funny, despite it all, it still hurt when he left. It felt like someone had ripped his heart out of his chest and squeezed it in their angry fist. It hurt to leave her. It hurt to think about her. It hurt to cry about them. It taught him about the grief and pain that comes when someone loves you, how to cope, how to heal. But there was once a time where he wished he never knew what love had felt like.

Zuke thought he was in love before. When he was confused and hurt there was someone there to hold him steady, to make him laugh and it made him feel free. He thought what he felt was love. A warmth took place in his heart when he saw her on stage, how happy she looked even when lazily strumming on her guitar. A safety he felt when they were holed up in their workshop, tirelessly working on their muses till they couldn't hold tools anymore. An overwhelming sense of security when she pushed him to make amends with his brother, a wound so deep he never thought there was a chance it could heal, yet she bandaged that wound, carefully wrapping it as it began to heal. A deep ache in his heart upon seeing her get hurt, scared he would lose her to a cause she was so invested in, what if she never made it out of this, what if this was a bad idea, there is no coming back from death.

But whenever he tried to think of them together, it felt wrong. When he saw couples of dates while they went around the city, he would always try and think of him and her instead, but whenever he did it ended the same way; just friends hanging out. That's when he realised it wasn't love, at least not that kind. He did love her, but only as a friend, he wanted to talk and laugh with her, he wanted to have fun and she did too, they wanted to live their lives as a band, sharing the lights on stage and (for the time being) they wanted to share their home. They were close friends and loved eachother as such. The more he thinks about the past the more he realises, he never felt more than that kind of love for her. He learned, in a metaphorical sense, that not all warmth comes from fire, and not all water falls from the sky.

Zuke was convinced he wasn't in love. When he met him there was no warmth, no care, no joy upon seeing his face. He was surprised and scared when he saw what effect they had on her, her once feisty and chaotic personality was reduced to a giddy giggling version of herself at the mere sight of him and them. He found those cheesy pick up lines and compliments beyond grating to a point where he almost stuck his own drum sticks in his ears just to avoid hearing them. When they won the bitterness he felt towards his face didn't leave, though by the end of their cause he realised it was stupid to be that upset about a robot programmed to flirt. When they met again Zuke was a lot less temperamental than when they were fighting, though he didn't seem to believe that. He was cold, criticising and harsh with his words, leaving Zuke hurt by a mere sentence, though what shocked him was that it meant something. Usually the opinion of strangers never bother him, he knew there were people who wouldn't like him for various reasons and all those insults just bounced off of him like they meant nothing.

But it meant something to him this time. It hurt to have him so upset, and it hurt even more knowing that it was directed at him. That was confusing. So he tried to amend it all, taking baby steps towards fixing what he didn't even know was broken, and over time it worked. Instead of cold there was some warmth in his synthesised voice when they would talk, there was more care in his words and a gentle nature in the way he carried himself. It made Zuke warm. Not like the warmth he felt with his band-mate but rather a warmth he hadn't felt in a long time, and it scared him. He was scared that what he felt, though different from before, would end in the same way. He was scared his heart was creating a cheap imitation of the warmth he felt in college merely because he was being shown some levels of personal affection. He was scared that what he felt would never be returned. So he buried it. He buried it under layers of faked relaxation and an air of not caring, under jokes and friendly touches he hoped didn't seem too friendly, under lazy grins and creased brow he buried his love.

But it could never last. Slowly, carefully, lovingly, his guard was stripped away from him, leaving his heart bare as the warmth he felt erupted from under where he buried it. He cared about him, he was patient with him, he listened to him, he laughed with him, he was safe with him, he wanted to be with him and he loved him.

Zuke is in love. And so is Rin.

#I'M BACK FOR A BRIEF MOMENT BOIS!!!!#fr though I just saw a bunch more onion drawings and felt compelled to write this #I also wanted to try and think about how I personally think Zuke feels about love and I think I did it #onionshipping #nsr zuke #nsr white #nsr mayday #nsr eve #I don't think I should tag any other ships??? cause they weren't really ships just Zukes experience with love that ended in onionshipping #so idk but yeah! had fun with that #nsr rin #almost forgot that one
