Someone asked me about something VinVeld related and I've been working on the response for two hours because I had to double check some terminology to explain the canonicity of them being partners, which led me down a rabbit hole on titles used amongst coworkers, which led me to check how often one title specifically shows up in the Japanese BC script, which led me to double checking that I remembered the honorifics used between characters and how that's super relevant to keep in mind when interpreting Veld and Vincent's short interaction—

This isn't even the question, it's just necessary information for me to be able to explain my take on the situation, because I don't want people to just take everything I say at face value without knowing where it came from.

There is something so fucking wrong with me.

#vinveld #lore gremlin reporting for duty i guess #nashi has an opinion #ANYWAY that word only appears TWICE #and ALSO the lack of honorifics means WAY MORE than people give it credit for #and basically the Grimoire Valentine translation is contextually correct #and they were partners in the turks in the old days #full explanation will be included when i finally ANSWER THE DAMN ASK #i am so sorry friend i promise i will respond #give me time #my brain is so full of these two #but i feel like i gotta justify everything because people only accept official meta #for confirmation of canonicity #and that's THE WORST
