It's so funny to me how we all remember this iconic line mostly for its delivery, while German and French even try to avoid using the word, meanwhile English just gets straight to the point, like

German: .....the lust......

French: .....the desire......

English: SEX. I'm talking about SEX.

And while we're at it, do you think that line was also on his mind when he was smiling at that poor guy who was tied to Celene's bed? lol

"Ah yes, just like the good old days..."

You know, now that I think about it, Solas had no right to kinkshame the Inquisitor like that. lmaoo

#what happened in the recording booth probably:#GDL: *does the line*#Director: ''Well that was pretty good but could you just put a little more emphasis on that word?''#GDL: ''But why-''#Director: ''Just. do it.''#solas #language comparison #audio #hearing Solas talk like that in French at the Orlesian court is something else lmao

What are the chess pieces’ english names? Where did they come from? Let’s compare them to the czech names, shall we?

King, Queen and Pawns are the same, but

Knight? No, it’s a rider

Rook? Where did that come from? That’s obviously a tower

Bishop? Nah son, that’s an archer

Dark Knight Quest Translations! (Reddit Link)

I’m a fan of any cross language comparisons in FFXIV, and with the Dark Knight quests and the job itself meaning so much to me I was very excited to see how other languages differ.

Turns out EN is VERY different from JP/DE in terms of ie., Fray’s origin and personality, the overall tone of the quests, and especially the level 80 quest (right down to the title, “Our Closure” not having the same gravitas in other languages as it does in EN). I was especially surprised to learn that the whole “DRK quests are written differently than every other quest, even changing depending on whether you have the job stone equipped while reading them” is EN exclusive! I had no idea localization could just do that!

As with all the language comparisons, I welcome the variety of ways this game is written for different languages, how it ranges from extremely flowery and verbose in English while being much more concise and straight forward in other languages. I’m a huge fan of looking at all the little differences, finding things that inspire me from all of them, and incorporating them into my own personal canon. It’s part of the game as far as I’m concerned (on top of glamour, and I guess raiding too :P *is in a static*)

#ffxiv #ff14 #dark knight #DRK #language comparison #I like how other languages focus on coping with loss and sorrow #you can pry Fray's I love you more than you will ever know from my cold trans hands #cold on account of the estrogen

Spanish Nouns and Their Unique Traits Compared to English

Exploring the Evolution Spanish nouns, like their English counterparts, have evolved over centuries, shaped by the cultures and languages that have influenced the Iberian Peninsula. The Spanish language itself has deep roots, with influences from Latin, Arabic, and various Romance languages. One of the most distinguishing features of Spanish nouns is their grammatical gender, a trait inherited…

JavaScript vs Python: Which Is Better For Your Next Project?

Choosing the right programming language for your next project is a critical decision that can impact its success. In this blog, we'll dive into the age-old debate of JavaScript vs Python, two widely used programming languages with distinct strengths and applications. By understanding the characteristics of each language and their suitability for various scenarios, you can make a well-informed choice that aligns with your project's goals.

Section 1: JavaScript Overview

JavaScript, a versatile scripting language, was initially developed for web browsers to enhance user interactivity. It has grown into a fundamental language for front-end web development. JavaScript's key features include its event-driven nature, asynchronous capabilities, and extensive DOM manipulation. It empowers developers to create dynamic, responsive, and interactive web pages. Notably, Node.js has enabled JavaScript to be used for server-side programming as well.

Section 2: Python Overview

Python, known for its readability and simplicity, boasts a wide range of applications. It excels in areas such as web development, data analysis, scientific computing, machine learning, and automation scripting. Python's clean syntax and rich library ecosystem contribute to its popularity. Its ease of learning and use makes it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced developers.

Section 3: Use Cases and Strengths

JavaScript's primary strength lies in its dominance in web development. It powers front-end interactions and user interfaces. JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js enhance its capabilities. Its real-time capabilities are valuable for applications requiring constant updates, like social media platforms or live data displays.

Python's adaptability shines through various use cases. Web frameworks like Django and Flask simplify web application development. In data analysis and scientific computing, libraries like NumPy, pandas, and matplotlib offer robust tools. For machine learning, TensorFlow and scikit-learn make Python a popular choice.

Section 4: Performance and Efficiency

JavaScript's performance is influenced by browser compatibility and its single-threaded nature. However, advancements like WebAssembly and optimizing techniques have improved its speed. It's particularly suited for tasks requiring real-time updates and client-side rendering.

Python's interpreted nature affects its performance, but it compensates with developer productivity. Libraries like Cython can enhance its performance in specific use cases. Its role in data analysis and machine learning often involves computations that benefit from optimized libraries like NumPy.

Section 5: Community Support and Resources

JavaScript enjoys a massive community with a plethora of libraries, frameworks, and tutorials. Developers can tap into resources like MDN Web Docs and Stack Overflow for guidance. The fast-paced evolution of the JavaScript ecosystem ensures access to the latest tools and practices.

Python's community is equally strong, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation. Libraries like PyPI provide a rich selection of modules. Documentation resources like the official Python documentation and online forums contribute to its accessibility.

Section 6: Considerations for Choosing

Choosing between JavaScript and Python involves several considerations. For web applications requiring dynamic user experiences, JavaScript's capabilities are indispensable. Python's flexibility and wide range of applications make it suitable for diverse projects, especially when development speed and readability are priorities.

Team expertise plays a crucial role; a team well-versed in one language might streamline development. Scalability, maintenance, and integration with existing systems should also influence the choice. Ultimately, align the strengths of the language with your project's objectives for optimal results. When deciding between JavaScript and Python for your project, take into account their distinct strengths and applications. JavaScript excels in front-end web development and real-time interactions, while Python's versatility spans web development, data analysis, and machine learning. Base your choice on your project's requirements, team expertise, and long-term goals. By making an informed decision which programming language to use for web development, you can leverage the strengths of the chosen language and set the foundation for a successful project in the digital era.

I got curious, so I did a bit of “research”

The most popular fic in English is an NSFW (incredibly raunchy, wow) Guardians of the Galaxy fic with 128.179 kudos.

In Mandarin, it is a mature RPF fic of the actors from The Untamed that resulted in AO3 being blocked in Mainland China. It currently has 26.916 kudos

For Spanish, the prize goes to an explicit omegaverse & mpreg The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System fic with 3.245 kudos

Indonesian gives us a BTS college AU with 1.569 kudos and French stays on the bandom vibes by giving us an explicit One Direction dystopian story. But the band rpf award goes to Tagalog* ***, with their first page (sorted by kudos) being all Kpop (ENHYPEN, EXO & SEVENTEEN) and no-fandom.

(For those curious, Korean has a low amount of Kpop rpf on their first page. I assume they publish it somewhere else)

Egyptian Hieroglyphics (which, yes, is an option on AO3) gives us a beautiful song translation with an impressive 495 kudos. I really recommend everyone check it out; it is incredible. Welsh** (160) and Old English (222) also had their most popular work have an English translation. Latin (124), on the other hand, is just fully in Latin. There are a few translations, but they are provided by other people and not the original author.

Greek has a lot of Greek political RPF. Like, a lot.

I was incredibly surprised by the fact that you can write fanfiction in Quebecois sign language. I was not surprised at all by the fact that Sindarin was an option.

.

A few of the languages had their most popular stories not be in that language and just be a case of mislabelling (or, in some cases, people using less-used languages on AO3 as dumping grounds for tests or personal notes.) Also, there were a couple of languages with no stories at all.

If you have been thinking about writing fic in a language other than English, take this as a call for action. There are a lot of people out there reading in all sorts of languages. Even in languages with only a couple kudos, those are a couple of people who are incredibly happy to find a story of a media they love in a language they love too.

. Edits from 7/12/2022:

* Filipino*** is the standardized version of Tagalog and the way Ao3 refers to the language, which is why that is the word used instead of Tagalog. Feel free to reach out if there is a better way to word that sentence.

** Welsh was included next to Old English as they both had English translations, and not as an implication that it is a dead language. Welsh is a living, thriving language with more than half a million speakers.

.

Edits from 26/12/2022:

*** More Tagalog speakers reached out asking me to change the language name to Tagalog. I did. The original note is left for those looking at the notes/asks and wondering what is going on.

I'm Italian and a new follower, ever since I saw the region where Machete is from I can't stop calling him Carmelo in my head since it's a pretty common name there and Vasco speaks with a Tuscan accent in my head now( I love how they pronounce the letter C even if people sometimes makes fun of them for that)

It's always really fun hearing about any Italians that like my work and characters, because you guys obviously have the insider knowledge I (a Finnish person) am not privy to. If you say Machete looks like a Carmelo I have hard time doing anything but nodding and going "ah yes, sounds legit, you probably know your Carmelos better than I do".

#Italian in it's standard form sounds pretty distinct to me it's relatively easy to identify it #but there's no way I'd be able to differentiate between all the regional accents/dialects/languages #answered #anonymous #for comparison I can't tell spoken Swedish Norwegian and Icelandic apart reliably #even though they're our neighbors and I hear them pretty regularly and I'm technically supposed to be able to speak Swedish #on top of that I'm always mixing up Danish and Dutch

Your Bowser is GORGEOUS but also huge!! 😱 A lot bigger than I had imagined him to be when I saw your previous body-swap posts! Is he always this massive?

Hehe yep! ;) 😁

Granted, Bowser's stature might indeed appear smaller in the body-swap tangent, but that's because Mario is always hunched over and crouching. The real Bowser, on the other hand, stands at his full height with his back straight and his head held above his shoulder line. But if we look at the two side by side, the characters are actually the same size in both instances!

Pretty cool, the difference one's posture makes, huh?^^

#Also thanks!! :D #I'm glad you guys like his design 🥰#I've had a lot of fun experimenting with poses and body language for Bowser lately #And I will certainly draw him again in the future!#Asks #Mario #Luigi #Bowser #fanart and fanwork #stylization #size comparison

...and also the only time that Solas of all people, is completely speechless, for once at a loss for words in response to an irrefutable argument.

Throughout the whole game (with a few exceptions in which he actually admits to having misjudged), whenever you get the chance to debate him on something you do not agree on, Solas, Mr “I’m a trillion years old, you know nothing, so listen carefully” will practically verbally jiu-jitsu you for every possible argument you might have, like, he’s an absolute master at playing Ace Attorney refuting any of your points, much like playing mind chess with Iron Bull, there is no chance to win an argument with Solas if he’s determined to have you recognize the flaw in your logic or at least understand his perspective, making you feel like this gif at the end of every debate.

But when Lavellan says “I would have had you trust me”, finally, there is no counter argument, no clever comeback, no objection... He has nothing. Because Lavellan is right and he knows. There’s just silence until he turns around and continues with the rest of the dialogue. And I think it’s interesting how this is kinda the culmination of all the little hints throughout the whole game at his ingrained distrust, leading up to this moment.

“An enemy can attack you, but only an ally can betray you. Betrayal is always worse.”

"The next time you have to mourn, you don't need to be alone." “It’s been so long since I could trust someone.”

“That’s when you should lean on your friends.” “Apologies, Inquisitor. I have learned not to do that.”

“I’ll rely on those I trust.” "You think to share your power, to avoid the temptation to misuse it. A noble sentiment... but, ultimately, a mistake." (...) "Because while one selfless man may walk away from the lure of power's corruption... no group has ever done so."

“You created a powerful organization, and now it suffers the inevitable fate of such. Betrayal and corruption.”

"I trust my friends." "I know that mistake well enough to carve the angles of her face from memory."

“She was betrayed as I was betrayed. As the world was betrayed!” - Flemeth about Mythal

You get the sense that him witnessing Mythal being betrayed and murdered by the Evanuris was probably the catalyst for his immense trust issues, so much so that it still has that big of an impact on him centuries later. And of course it has, when 1) it was this batrayal and power corruption that set everything in motion, it almost lead to the end of the entire world, which in turn lead to the creation of the Veil and finally the loss of his world and his people, 2) he has spent the last 1000 years walking the Fade, having to look at the ever present Black City in its center - their prison - as a constant reminder of what happened. (I know it’s not confirmed yet, but come on! 😂)

And then there is Lavellan (or any high approval Inquisitor for that matter) at the end of all this. Who proved him wrong with every action throughout DAI. Who has shown wisdom in their decisions and that the power they were given mustn’t corrupt them. That there is no reason for him not to trust them. And yet, he simply can’t, because the past still haunts him and centuries of history have taught him otherwise (and like a bunch of other reasons for him to not tell Lavellan the truth in that moment in Crestwood, but that’s beside the point here lol).

And then at the end of Trespasser, Lavellan finally throws it straight to his face, and while he could pull any of the excuses listed above, he simply can’t refute them anymore. Look at his expression as he just looks at them in response, at first still frowning for a second, as if he’s still about to argue them again, but then suddenly shifting into sorrow, slightly shaking his head in defeat. “I got nothing.” Solas, who easily managed to own you in any debate prior to this, is all out of arguments. It’s the final argument and the Inquisitor won.

(Well, technically, it even happens twice in this final conversation, if we’re counting Solas’ internal debate with himself. lol)

"We aren't even people to you." "Not at first. You showed me that I was wrong."

But going back to his distrust, it surely can’t be a coincidence that this whole issue was also topic in a recent interview with DA4′s Creative Director, talking about what defines a hero.

I’ve talked about this numerous times now, like here, here or here, but what it all comes down to is basically just one more penny for the “Solas needs to learn how to trust again in order to be saved from himself” jar. lol

“We will save our friend from himself… if we can.”

Like. It’s literally his name. Pride. Saving Solas from himself does quite literally mean to strip him off his name and the belief that, to quote John Epler again, “only he has the answers, that he is the only one who can solve this” and to accept the help of others. Which is why he has to get a new name by the end of all this. I’m dying on that hill. 😂

#solas #trespasser #solavellan #that's my read on the whole thing anyway lol #I love this little moment so much #and his facial expression tells you everything #I wonder if we'll get a moment like this in DA4 #''I would treasure the chance to be wrong once again my friend''#if we finally manage to prove him wrong once and for all #I would love the DA4 protag to be like ''Checkmate''#and Solas to acknowledge it respectfully #having to swallow his own pride #that's kinda my dream outcome I guess 😂#audio #language comparison #the biggest problem in all of this is just that.. Solas is quite literally the only one who's able to save his people (for now at least)#it's very much the ''Mordin Solus sentiment'' in ME3 in that he's like ''Has to be me. Someone else might get it wrong.''#which just so happens to be also written by Patrick Weekes lmao #like Solas IS the one who created the Veil so to him it's also his responsibility now to fix it again #like he's literally the only one with the knowledge AND the power to do this so.. no wonder he's trusting no one but himself lol

ancient magus' bride season 2: anime vs manga comparison

According to the fan and the official English translations, Elias never called Chise a child in the manga (here's a good post from blue-inspiration-blog about that too).

Was the line changed to compensate for this panel that didn't fit in the anime? Or did the creators actually want Elias to call Chise a child?

(this is ch 66, wanted to find it in Japanese but it's no longer available on comicgrowl. If any of you read the chapter in Japanese or official translation to any other language, please tell us how it was translated there!)

#I'm also not sure about what Alexandra said to Chise right after Elias #in the fan manga translation she didn't call Chise a child either #but I found a translation to a different language and it's the same as the anime one (“you're a child. stay out of this”)#mahoyome anime vs manga comparison #mahoutsukai no yome #mahoyome #the ancient magus' bride #the ancient magus bride #ancient magus bride #tamb #mahoutsukai no yome season 2 #mahoyome season 2 #the ancient magus' bride season 2 #the ancient magus bride season 2 #ancient magus bride season 2 #mahoutsukai no yome manga #ancient magus bride manga
