The funniest thing about the Marquis Machina identity reveal is that it recontextualizes the shoes in her current outfit from "quirky Mochijun design choice" to "Francis Varney is a Japanophile."
Ye olde weeabeau.
#I mean it makes sense. there's definitely a precedent for weird old rich europeans getting obsessed with Japanese aesthetics#even setting aside the fact that this is a joke being made by a japanese author lol#I bet Francis is the reason Veronica comes to the bal masqué dressed Like That#also sorry I've been so inactive friends#I've been deep in the brainworm dimension for something else lmao#it's been so long I nearly combined franny's two names and tagged her as 'francis machina' just now lmao#vnc#vanitas no carte#the case study of vanitas#marquis machina#francis varney#vnc spoilers#vnc 62.5#marquis machina my beloved#ID in alt text

I love gay Japanese shows so much. They're like hey look, here's some boring normal dudes that are maybe a bit of a freak (but like in the way that most people are a bit of a freak). Do you want a slow and intimate depiction of them figuring themselves out and overcoming their normal insecurities and problems by hanging out with eachother and talking?
And I am like, Yes! Please!

I am so easily distracted by sad monster men with beautiful hair and claws and perhaps a large sword
#textpost#Hold one out in front of me like pspspspsp and you can get me to do tricks#Siegfried needs to be more fucked up he like drank evil dragon blood and you can't even tell#I can make him worse#I still don't know his lore outside of that lmao but I wanna get to it in the game and not just read it on the wiki#There was untranslated Japanese text on the wiki and they do fan translations on there#I had to close the tab I can't cheat on Guilty Gear sorry Granblue Fantasy gacha game#My grandma used to have an absolute unit of a Maine coon named Siegfried that hated everyone#and it's an uncommon enough name that I still associate it with that cat#We called him Ziggy lol#So when I see Siegfried Granblue I do think of Siegfried Cat pretty often#He was grey with tabby markings and had a huge poofy tail lol#The only time he ever let me pet him was when he got really old.

NOVEMBER 1: SUNDAY: Why can't America, even England, produce something like the good Swedish and Italian and Japanese films? The corruption of the capitalist civilization? The lack of any knowledge of deep humanity?

at church reading the hymn lyrics like "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and "hey i learned that word from translating song lyrics so that i could write genshin fic!" and "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and finally "omg i learned that word from the king's avatar"
#花話#it's funny bc i Objectively know more cn than the last time i was here seven years ago which is great#bc the last time i learned any cn in a classroom was seven years ago lol#and i think that's probably a combination of Very Much Not Wanting To Lose What Skills I Have +gnshn n similar giving me occasional practice#but yeah of the words i Remember where i learned them it's like 85% gnshn 14% lyric translation n 1% king's avatar lmao#been trying to connect my laptop to the mobile hotspot i have here and Suffering(tm)... pain and agonie#i mentioned this on main but apparently i just Cannot have a line acct for w/e reason#(i suspect it's bc i made an acct in america on my phone number but temp sim card --> diff phone number here)#(and since i didn't expect this i didn't tie the acct to an email --> i am unable to have line)#however my mother and i have graduated past emails and are now just using regular texting to communicate it seems#ANYWAY i get to see the jade cabbage today. i hope. and other things i also hope!!#i was going somewhere w/the line thing OH it's bc on the way home from church my mom saw a sign that said 元氣 and was like 'genki desu!'#it is always kind of a surprise to hear my mom speak jp bc it sounds simultaneously clumsy and full of confidence#she has friends in japan (college roommate + old pen pal + i have no idea she's lived Quite a life i feel) n i once found her old letters#and was kind of surprised bc they were like entirely in jp so obviously she could read n understand a lot#but anyway my mom went on to talk abt how taiwan continues to have significant japanese influence to this day n i was like yes... weebs c':#it's also interesting bc we'll go sightseeing n she'll be like “ye that's from american/jp occupation times but they gave back the land'#'so now it's xyz' n i'll be like. almost 'tails.jpg A Colonialism.'

some From Eroica With Love profiles, from these two livejournal posts, including: dorian, major eberbach, mr. james, agent Z and mischa the bear cub
as the author says, there's three different sources (an art book, the FEWL record, and an issue of Princess Gold), but i thought i'd pick out the funniest ones lol
some highlights include: eberbach being a habsburg (explains his jaw), dorian speaking portuguese, and mr james' height being 'stretchable'
#i will not engage with 'engaged in illegal activity in west europe' like the main character isnt literally THIEF#SO 15 yr old livejournal post might not b the best source. BUT#the author of this post was involved in a little eoirc aresearch group in LJ + is themselves japanese and translated these texts themselves#so i thought hey thats good enough. also whos going to lie about this manga anyway kfgkgfjfgk#from eroica with love#led zeppelin shoujo yaoi manga tag#i hope the IDs are ok!

Deep Thoughts
This is totally apropos of nothing but I wonder if Geno SMRPG knows G-Man from Half Life.
Like you ask him about it and he just goes "Oh yeah, that guy..." and quickly changes the subject.
And if you say anything about "skibbity toilets" he stares into the middle distance and changes the subject even harder.
(Screenshot Note: In the Japanese text, Geno introduces himself to Yuminpa / Bowyer as an "Emissary from the Sky" which is also terribly カッコいい is it not???)
#is this my mario RPG shitposting era#the 12 year old swilly is elated#kinda want to play this in japanese as it has full furigana#i don't remember some kanji as it's been a while since i last studied#but from what i have read so far the text is pretty easy to understand#at least for an intermediate student i'd say

I kinda wanted to try and start a new Tomodachi Life save file, but I don't want to delete my current one on my 3DS, so off to Citra I go!
Funnily, when I gave Johan's mii his name, the game pronounces it like it's pronounced in the French version with a j sound lol. So ya have to use the pronunciation setting in order for it to be pronounced in the usual way.
Though in my attempt at making him in Tomodachi Collection, I just stuck with the French pronunciation for him and Peewit. His French pronunciation kinda feels more natural to me when transliterating it into Japanese and I feel like Peewit's French name, Pirlouit, would be a bit easier to adapt into Japanese.
#plus i still kinda like to think the french version of johan's name in universe is like a corruption of jehan which is an old french name#and the choice to translate pirlouit as peewit in the smurfs cartoon was a smart move as the names sound similar#and peewit is easier for a monolingual english speaker to pronounce so it's a win win#also i found a copy of the european version online#johan's voice will likely sound much more accurate this way lol#with the accent difference and all that#it's honestly neat how they changed the accent in the us and european versions of tomodachi life#whereas the japanese version uses the same voice from tomodachi collection#which sounds waaaaay more bitcrushed#reminds me a little of the amiga's text to speech from the 80s

#vocaloid#megpoid the music#gumi megpoid#i'm thinking about her#i tried to do some digging on the game's old website on the wayback machine but i can understand most of it#on account of it (obviously) being in japanese + everything not loading right#i'm pretty sure this is a bonus costume from the dlc???#i wish there was a way for me to download it because i can only find a store page on the wayback machine#so i don't think i'd be able to actually buy it from there#id in alt text

alright, we replay the desmond era games from start to finish and also origins. I need to find a copy of the original ac3 release somewhere because FUCK the remaster, eat my goddamn shorts ubisoft you pieces of shit
#they took the original ac3 release off their store once they released the remaster which fucks up conner's skin tone#im MAD about it.#im mad about many things with that game. the fandom was so fucking racist and they havent gotten better#honestly they got worse when valhalla got released#like the game was good the fandom was RANCID#which. honestly. some of that racism was directed onto desmond too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#i was there. i remember the old magic. i was there when the texts were written. i was fighting in the fucking trenches#and japanese fan artists were making him paper white
