Why the localization “Tree of Emptiness” isn’t very good

The original term is 「 空想樹 」which means, quite literally, “Fantasy Tree” (or Tree of Fantasy). Now I understand why this name doesn’t strike fear to your hearts, and “Tree of Emptiness” sounds more badass. However, it’s very very important to Cosmos in the Lostbelt narrative to keep the “fantasy” here. Because since Moonlight Lostroom (and before, even with Epic of Remnants thematic keywords involving fantasy and fiction) there has been built up and hints of how do pruned timelines suddenly can appear on the planet even thousands of years after they ceased to exist, with a rich continuation as if they never pruned. Why did Kirschtaria say “turn the fantasy tree a reality” in Atlantis. When you use “emptiness tree” it lacks the nuance they are trying to convey. This is why (Image heavy. Spoilers for Olympus and Avalon Le Fae):

love how type-moon very affectionately (read: hatefully) and casually drops the term ‘黙示記録帯’ out of nowhere in Larva Tiamat’s profile as if we’re supposed to have any fucking idea what it is.

now, that may look like nonsense because you don’t read japanese and/or don’t feel like translating. guess what. 

this is a completely new term. 

nobody knows what the fuck this is or how to translate it yet.

i’ve seen ‘Revelation Liner’ on the Beast Lair forums. It literally translates to like… ‘Apocalypse Record Band’ or something. i’ve also seen someone use ‘Apocalypse Belt’. isn’t that spooky. what a fun, new, spooky term this is.

I’m personally going with ‘Revelation Belt’ because it kinda seems like it’s the… opposite of a Lostbelt? what does that mean? who knows. that’s literally all we’ve gotten in terms of the lore for it so far.

but it uses the ‘Kiroku-tai’ (記録帯) from the ‘Recording Band’ term from the Pruning Timeline theory bullshit, and the japanese term for Lostbelt is ‘Ibuntai’, and I thought ‘Revelation Belt’ was fun. that’s a fun term, right? who cares. there’s no official term so I can do what I want.

listen i know nobody cares but it’s almost 2AM and i’m tired and I tried to get a translation of Larva Tiamat’s profile out and literally everything was fine outside of the fact that one term bugged me and pissed me off so much you don’t understand. i get a chance to rant sometimes. i deserve a chance to yell at the vile, melting pot that is Nasuverse lore.

is this how veterans in the fanbase feel. i’m sitting at my laptop fucking fuming. what the hell is this Nasu.

Just a PSA: if you’re starting to feel like your mental health has been going down the drain and feeling really low and fatigued and finding it hard to do stuff, please be kind to yourself.

My psych has told me she’s seeing LOTS of people go into this state, and it’s because all the adrenaline and anxiety and stress at the start of corona has been used up, and now your brain is going into a sort of depressive mode.

So please be kind to yourself, don’t push yourself too hard and ask for extra support if you need it! !
