New Oneshot Translation Is Out! (And Some Notes About Please, Jeeves)

What ho, everyone! My deepest apologies for the radio silence. I'll admit that my passion for Jeeves waned a jot, but I'd like to get both Please, Jeeves and the Letters Regarding Jeeves Substack back on track post-haste. The illnesses cannot fully restrain me from Wodehousean hijinks, by Jove!

In the meantime, our jolly little association has put out a translation of an unrelated short manga oneshot called "X Thy Neighbour", about the Christmas Truce of WWI! So if British history in any way tickles your fancy, then why not have a look?

Our group thus far intends to translate one more Britain-set historical manga - Trafalgar by Yasuko Aoike, about the Napoleonic Wars, though I don't have a checker for that one at the moment - as well as an old Sherlock Holmes game for the Famicom, alongside the continuation of work on Please, Jeeves. More projects may come someday in the distant future, but these are it for now!

(In short, thank you very much for your patience! I fear I am rather slow at translation, especially since I need my translations to be checked for inaccuracies.)

Regards, aceredshirt13 (the trans-lator)

So I’m (very slowly) doing a translation of Trafalgar by Yasuko Aoike, about a dude in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars who finds out his childhood friend is alive and also a sniper for France. I thought the main dude’s name was Eugene Roderick, but I have since realized that I misread the katakana (which is actually ラドリック). The problem is that I can’t decide which of the possible readings sounds the most like a name, because all of them sound like the last name of a fake European crown prince from a villainess manhwa. So I’m leaving it up to the people.

For reference: the other two British characters with full names so far are siblings Adelaide and Richard Montgomery, which are totally normal names. The French childhood friend-now-enemy-in-war is named Marceau Nigelle (last name is a bit weird but at least it’s the French name of a genus of flower). I did not include any names with readings of リック as “lic(k)” because they all sounded monumentally cursed. He is not going to be named Ladlick. He is not going to lick lads.

since we're all doing these and i am but a humble girl from aotearoa, i wanna see how many islands people can name!

(upside not that many distinct countries here, downside i don't think the rest of the world knows half of these exist)

Provinces and Territories of Canada Quiz!🍁

[aceredshirt13]

Caribbean and Central/South American version

Since one of my followers mentioned never seeing a south american version of these quizzes and I couldn't find a (good) one myself, I did what any reasonable person would do and made my own (it's not fully public for some reason because sporcle hates me in particular, which I assume is also what happened to everyone else who's made a caribbean and central/south america quiz)

I'm pretty sure I got everything (only countries– none of the dependencies or territories are included on this) but it's entirely possible I made a mistake in which case: my bad

edit: someone in the tags pointed out that French Guiana isn't an independent country, which is fair! Missed that one when I was taking dependencies out of the list. And yeah, sorry, these are all English names as listed on wikipedia ;_;

For comparison for the European country quiz..

Oh my god Wisconsin's governor just used a line item veto to secure school funding increases every year through 2425. He struck out a line so it now reads "through the 2023-2425 school year". He's allowed to do this lol

as a jojo fan who loves your jonawagon art and someone with an interest in wwi history i have GOT to know where the trenchwagon in your pfp comes from

I actually drew it awhile back, just didn’t get the chance to post it in full because I didn’t have anything to pair it with :p

Drawing my favorite characters in uniforms is one of my favorite things to do, even if sometimes it’s not fully accurate (Jonathan and Speedwagon are supposed to have their hair cut short, but I couldn’t resist keeping their mullets 😭)

They don’t tell you this but in the United States there is an extremely low chance to encounter a vehicle shaped like a hotdog
