#-1 translation point
Text
I do prefer the fan translations that use shallot as Luffy's go-to insult for Moriah. It's just an inherently funnier word than onion.
Also, that cage has lil' bats on it, and that's adorable.

i got curious as to why the french word for boy/girlfriend is "small friend" and it turns out that the small part is affectionate because small things are cute and lovable (translation is in alt text)

i read a fic once where diluc used to fight with a sword during his days as a knight and switched to a claymore only after That Day and the concept never left my head
#it makes more sense i guess? ofc there's knights w claymores but 1) if being cavalry captain includes fighting while mounted on a horse-#-then a sword is probably more fit for the job#and 2) diluc was a model knight child prodigy cavalry captain golden child. to me. and i think a sword fits that image better#i like to think that he maybe always took more easily to a claymore. his thing is more pure strength blunt force etc#and he had to make a conscious effort to learn to use a sword properly even if his abilities would translate better into a greatsword#but when he leaves for snezhnaya its like#hes not a knight anymore the perfect image he had of them is completely destroyed he doesnt even have his vision w him anymore#so like whats the point. pick up a claymore. it fits his vigilante revenge rampage era better#diluc thoughts on the mind 2day. sorry for breaking character#diluc#my posts#diluc ragnvindr

i was wondering if you would ever be interested in making guilty gear fanslations because you seem to know japanese. no pressure im just curious or perhaps nosy
Nahhhhhhh i dont claim to know more than a relatively little amount i just get curious about stuff so i end up Researching often lol. Like machine translating stuff to get a general gist then checking out certain words and phrases in dictionaries and stuff. Jisho and wiktionary i love you. Also being friends with actual translators helps i can bug them with questions if i get desperate . Heart
#emphasis on checking things! i dont trust google translate for shit!#i know deepl is better but i need the ocr and romanized text.#and with all my researching i guess i am learning like i definitely know more than i did a year ago.#but its slow and a very small scope lol.#even then like 80% of what ive got memorized is just the phonetic side. im not built for memorizing kanji. i think.#idk. i can recognize a few at this point. so maybe if i did get into. learning for real. maybe. 1 day.#asks

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva
ＰＡＲＴ ０９
〚ＦＩＲＳＴ〛〚ＰＲＥＶ〛〚ＮＥＸＴ〛
Disclaimer: This is a fan-translation for the Japan-exclusive novellisation of the movie Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva. The original novel was written by Aya Matsui under the supervision of Akihiro Hino, and belongs to Level-5.
This translation only aims to be a pleasant read for non-Japanese fans, nothing more: I made a few deliberate changes while translating in order to get the writing style closer to what is usually found in English fanfictions, as the Japanese storytelling can sometimes be different than what we are used to.
＊ Puzzle n°002
Contrary to the first puzzle, the remaining contestants did not immediately leave. They stood still, sometimes glancing at each other, as if probing each other’s movements.
“The largest crown…”
This mutter had come from a girl whose golden hair was tied up with a ribbon. She looked to be around the age of a high schooler. Aside from me, I was certain that she had to be the youngest among the participants.
“It appears that the organiser of this game likes to gather people around in the same place…” an old captain mused to himself. I remembered seeing him on the deck earlier.
The gorgeous lady who had also been on the deck took over the conversation.
“The ship is decorated with quite a few crowns here and there… It will be difficult to compare all their sizes within the time limit.”
“Then this means that the crowns on display are…”
“…all decoys to mislead us?”
Just a few instants before, we had heard once again the screams of the other contestants. A heavy atmosphere seemed to flow among those who remained in the hall, as everyone wanted to hear a little bit of the others’ opinions…
Was it a sense of solidarity? Or perhaps, on the contrary, they were probing each other in an attempt to assess their ulterior motives… It was probably the latter.
After all, only one person could win and gain eternal life.
“Professor, can you solve the puzzle this time?”
Janice was also anxious.
Alright, I would figure it out this time, and I would let her win the game.
“Well…” The professor was about to answer her question, but I decided to interrupt him.
“Professor, I’ll take care of this one!”
Both Janice and him looked a little surprised at my enthusiasm.
“Luke…?”
She remembered my name! That alone made me a little happier.
“It’s all right, Janice! After all, I’m the professor’s ‘apprentice number one’!”
I proudly flashed my pointing finger in the air as hard as I could. When she saw this, she started giggling… That too made me happy. I did not mind looking like a clown if it could make her smile.
“You have a very reliable apprentice,” she told the professor with an amused tone.
Alright, I could not afford to fail this puzzle. I immediately opened my notebook and drew a picture of a crown.
“The biggest crown…” I mumbled while thinking. “A crown… crown…”
The voice telling the puzzle came back to my mind.
Ladies and gentlemen, are you enjoying your ride on the Crown Petone?
“That’s it!” I had just been struck with a flash of inspiration. “We are now on the Crown Petone!”
“Well done, boy!”
Those words from the man with the hat and beard took me by surprise. I was so focused on solving the puzzle that I had completely forgotten about the many people that were standing around me.
The man in the hat made a short run for the door.
“If I remember correctly, the entrance to this theatre had a sign in the shape of a large crown, with the words ‘Crown Petone’ written on it!”
“Oh yes, it was a fairly large crown!”
“That’s it! It has to be!”
Everyone in the hall rushed to the exit.
They had all listened to my reasoning. With this, I would let Janice win! I was so proud of myself.
“Professor, we should go too!”
The professor was smiling. “Indeed we should, Luke.”
The three of us were the last ones to leave the theatre.
But as we walked down the corridor, I became more and more worried… The people who had left for the entrance were nowhere to be seen.
Janice would also turn her head and look behind us in search for other people, so she surely felt the same.
“Have they all made it to the entrance already?”
The professor did not answer.
Janice informed in a reserved whisper: “But… isn’t the entrance the other way around?”
What!?
“Professor, we must have taken a wrong turn! We have to go back!”
But as usual, he remained perfectly calm.
“This way is fine, Luke.”
“But…”
“The sign on the entrance is also a red herring.”
I widened my eyes in confusion, mouth agape.
“The ship was decorated with crowns all over, making everyone believe that they were decoys, and inciting them to go to the entrance,” he explained. “But… This is not the right answer either.”
“What do you mean?”
“Only one person can gain eternal life. These puzzles should not be too easy, otherwise everybody would be able to get them right…”
The professor continued to unravel his reasoning matter-of-factly.
“…And here is the clever part: after solving the first puzzle correctly, we had all been gathered in one room. So naturally, when the second puzzle had a similar wording as the first, we would tend to assume that the next puzzle would follow the same pattern.”
“Professor, I’m getting a bit confused now…”
“It’s alright. You will see soon…”
Suddenly, the professor stopped. We were just in front of a door that led to the deck. He opened the door and encouraged me to come out first.
As I walked out, I saw a row of suspended lifeboats. Several people were cooperating, trying to lower them into the sea.
There were the old captain, the girl who had blonde hair tied up in a ribbon, the gorgeous woman and the muscular man who looked like an athlete, that we had seen earlier… Then there was an explorer-looking man with a big backpack…
The lifeboat that the explorer was trying to lower suddenly lost its balance significantly.
“Whoops, be careful there. May I…?”
The old captain went to his rescue and took the reins, showing him how to handle the rope.
“Huh, you’re doing it so easily.” The explorer man was gazing in admiration.
“I’m the captain of a trading ship, I have devoted my entire life to this. The name is O’Donnell,” the old man said while quickly tilting his hat. “But, we should hurry and keep the chat for later.”
I looked around, seeing other people having similar interactions. What on Earth were they all up to? My mind was completely at a loss.
Janice went past me and approached a lifeboat too.
“Mr Whistler,” she called out.
“Janice,” he responded in a breath.
It was only upon hearing their voices that I realised… Mr Whistler and a little blonde girl were there too.
The little girl’s straight hair, parted down the middle, looked just like Melina’s photo from the brochure. Maybe this was the girl from the letter who had claimed that… she had eternal life?
When she saw the professor approaching, she fidgeted and quickly hid behind Mr Whistler’s back. Before the professor could say anything, Mr Whistler introduced her:
“This is my adopted daughter, Melina.”
The professor remained silent, staring at the girl. So she was named Melina too…
From behind us, a voice rang out with disdain.
“Tsh. So you solved the puzzle too, after all.” It was the man in the hat.
“Indeed.”
The professor smiled at him. Even when addressing disrespectful people, he was never going to be rude. After all, of course, that’s what a gentleman should do.
Still, what was that man talking about? I thought he was the one who had praised me earlier for solving it!
“Ugh. Great, even more competitors.”
That was the man who seemed to be an athlete. He also sounded extremely annoyed.
Everything made even less sense than before. Everyone else obviously knew what was going on, and I seemed to be the only one left in the dark…
I couldn’t help but tell the man in the hat what I thought. “But— You were the one who said earlier that the sign at the entrance was the right answer!”
“Tss. I want eternal life, boy, so I tricked those idiots. And I had to act quickly too, before you’d start spouting even more hints…”
“Spouting hints…?”
I really was completely clueless. I had no idea what was going on anymore.

Very sad that they didn't translate this. The old scans used Darkness Pill, and the wiki says it's Little Darkness, but either way it's very Robin-core

Oh my god!!!! Thank you for preventing me from committing murder!!!! I tried looking for it when I originally saw the pics but I didn't think to look for it in Spanish bcs i only saw that it was an interview done by an Italian broadcaster and a German broadcaster. So now I feel a bit embarrassed to see that the vid has 150k views LOL!
youtube
This interview is VERY CUTE TO ME!!!! I really like them in this 🥺🥺🥺 I'm so glad they didn't dub over their voices(as is common in a lot of German vids), but with the Spanish questions, I'll have to try my best to translate them 😭 most of it is understandable but some I'm not too sure the context of, and I'd like to gif these or clip it or something bcs its so !!!!!!!
#see i need to translate so i can go through it meticulously and point out every single thing#'translate it' i say as if i know any spanish at all#TEHYRE VERY CUTE IN THUS#and i dont even think id wanna gif bcs their voices are just so!!!!!!#but thank you to the two people who sent me really appreciate it#f1#formula 1#vettonso#catie.asks.

i'm quitting my job on tues & i'm booking a flight & i'm packing my things & i'm going to start over in another country far far far away from my mother
#fuck her fuck her fuck her fuck her#i really am doing this btw. i'll live with my oma for a month or two until i can find a roommate or apartment or something#i'll get a translator job until vocational school starts next august#the only shitty thing about this is that. my dog has to be left behind.#i have to vet foster parents for him. i'll come back in 6 months/1 year to get him tho#because by then i should be settled enough to care properly for him#but honestly if he's better off with his foster & they love him to the point they want to adopt....maybe that'll be for the best#who knows. i'll cross that bridge when it presents itself#for now i'm just going to focus on getting out of here#once i'm out & not constantly triggered i#will be able to think clearer

im sorry im still thinking about it i swear this'll be the last i'll post of it unless something else comes out but i just think its really telling how they still haven't translated that announcement at all
#project moon#projmoon#limbus company#like its kind of strange at this point. its getting fucking weird. this is something that affects everyone why isnt it at least translated?#im going to be honest its looking worse and worse the more i zoom out and think about everything#and i bet the translation teams (iirc its like 1-4 people for each language) r worked to the bone with canto 4.5 regardless#also while im here i will add something ive seen no one else say. the reason limbus is a gacha in the first place is to fund new projects#what im saying is. they mightve just fucked themselves over#text

okay real talk. for those into any form of pain play and/or impact play? how do you distinguish between like. wanting it because you Want it vs. wanting it because you feel like either 1. you genuinely deserve it (punishment or the best youll get) or 2. its the best you have to offer your partner?
#i was just really thinking about this last night and....#there are some levels of pain that i really do genuinely enjoy and i know arent associated with what im asking#a good example is scratching or biting#but there are occasionally more intense things i fantasize about like being restrained and hit with an implement and at first im like#yeah thats hot#but then im not really sure if im wanting it in the same This Is Pleasurable way or if im wanting it in the#This Is The Best You Can Really Get or#in my case being stone like#it occurred to me that pain is 1. a cleaner/more distinct signal to me. nervous system wise#cause of dysphoria and whatever fucking else is going on with my body a lot of pleasure just gets lost in translation#but pain is like ok point of contact direct to brain#and also like. i would express more. outwardly. obviously. with pain#and i dont know if me wanting that is my brain trying to say#well if you cant really give your partner an expression of pleasure#your dick is fake you cant feel that very well and otherwise touches are very hard to translate to arousal#then the better you Can give them is. your pain#and idk if im overthinking it or what or if like#my brain is saying oh well if you cant feel it tender even though you want to you Want to feel it tender#guess youll have to feel it rough instead#which im not sure i.... like#anyway. if you made it this far. thanks for reading HAJDKGKH#my inbox is open if u have comments suggestions insight etc.#slug.personal
