I know a lot of people on qsmpblr use Tumblr mobile, but if you do use browser Tumblr then I would recommend the Simple Translate extension. Because Tumblr doesn't have built in translation like Twitter, there's less fans posting in their native language, instead most people just use English.

Simple Translate is an extension that allows you to translate text that you highlight into a target language. (It uses Google Translate API, but so does Twitter so the translation quality is pretty much the same).

Firefox Extension | Chrome Extension

When you highlight text in another language, a translate icon appears, when you click on it a panel containing the translation of the text appears.

You can also change the settings of the extension so that the translation panel automatically appears when you highlight text in another language.

Here's some more examples using the official QSMP Twitter accounts, you do not need to change the settings of the extension to translate from different languages into your target language.

(All of these match the translations given when using the "translate bio" button on Twitter directly.)

You can also access a translation box using the icon in the toolbar, any text you enter can be translated to the language selected in the drop-down menu (meaning you don't need to open a new tab to use Google Translate).

Some settings explanation and other stuff under the cut. Not super important but I figured I'd add it anyways.

There is an option to use DeepL API as opposed to Google Translate (it's another translation tool, there is free access to the API with a limit of 500,000 characters/month, and a pro version for unlimited access).

Whatever the target language is set as is what text you highlight will be translated into. There is another option for a second target language, I'll explain that further down.

This option changes how you view the translation panel, the first option (default) has the icon appear when you highlight text (as seen in the first image of the post), the second option has the translation panel appear automatically when you highlight text, and the for third option the panel and icon won't automatically appear, but can still be accessed by right-clicking the highlighted text and selecting "translate selected text".

The checkbox below these options means that if the text you're highlighting is already in your target language, the translation icon and panel will not appear, it can again still be accessed by right-clicking what you've highlighted and selecting translate.

This option appears twice, in both the Web-page section (for translating selected text) and the Toolbar Popup section (for the translation box in the toolbar popup).

The web page option, when toggled on, means that when you select text that is in your target language, the translation panel will translate into the second target language that has been selected. If the checkbox for "do not display if translation is not required" is toggled on, you can only view the translation from Target -> 2nd Target by right-clicking to translate selected text.

The toolbar popup version of this option is used to automatically switch the language in the toolbar translation box when you input something in your main target. (ie. second target set to French means that when you input English text in the translation box it will switch the translation setting from "(detect language) -> English" to "English -> French").

There are also settings to change the style and size of the translation button and panel.

Side note: Mixed language messages (not containing your target language) will only translate one of the languages, you can work around this by highlighting the different languages separately.

wip of starclan’s specialest princess for @harriertail’s wc cover zine 🎆

[g0lightly]

got to the chapter where brienne and jaime meet the brave companions in my ASOS reread last night and realized both sansa and brienne are told by their designated lannister twin mentor to expect sexual assault as a fact of the position in society they occupy as a woman. we see this from the advice recipient’s perspective (sansa) during the blackwater and from the advice giver’s perspective (jaime) against the brave companions.

and i don’t bring that up to shit on jaime or cersei. it makes me feel deep empathy for both of them because despite whatever resentment they may have for their young idealistic counterpart, they genuinely believe that advice is helpful. it’s what they’ve had to internalize to survive. anyway, i love how these four characters mirror each other through their gendered societal roles - what else is new?

TF2 in Historical Context: Heavy's Background

Obligatory disclaimer here that this is either speculation based off of things we canonically learn about Heavy or extrapolation from those things.

We are told that his father was a counter-revolutionary, who was executed in 1941. He, his mother, and sisters were sent to a gulag in Siberia, but they escaped in December 1941 after it burned down. It is implied that Heavy tortured the guards to allow them to escape.

It is often assumed that Heavy's father was a victim of Stalin's Great Purge. However, this took place from 1936-1939. The campaign of repression which targeted Heavy's family is thus more likely to in fact be the Red Army Purge, which took place from Oct 1940 to Feb 1942.

Interestingly, this implies that Heavy's father was not a member of the White Army (the loose coalition of forces which opposed the Bolsheviks during the Civil War). Instead, he was most likely a moderately-ranked member of the Soviet Union's army, and was scapegoated or arrested on fabricated charges.

Heavy's family being of a modestly decent income prior to the execution of his father also checks out if we consider how well-educated Heavy is, they must have been able to afford to support their only son's studies
