Homage to Saint Jerome, the patron saint of translators.
Tumblr media
In 2017, the United Nations declared September 30 International Translation Day. In doing so, it sought to highlight “the work of professional linguists and the important part they play in bringing nations closer together.” This decision was taken by the General Assembly, which numbers 193 member states.
The date was chosen in homage to Saint Jerome, the patron saint of translators, having been the first to translate the Bible into Latin. Curiously, the Bible is the most translated work in history. According to specialists in the sector, it has been translated into more than 2,000 languages, playing a crucial role in the spread of Christianity around the world.
Nowadays, this profession is of immense value in ensuring greater understanding among peoples. The UN has six official languages (Spanish, English, French, Arabic, Russian and Chinese) although specialists employed by national delegations work in dozens of languages throughout the year to facilitate work within the organization.
In short, translation and interpreting will continue to play a vital role in society. Non-profit organizations such as Translators Without Borders deserve our deepest gratitude on this day. We wish to say how proud we are of their role in breaking down language barriers and making a better world.

Erik: Don’t worry Charles. As long as I am here, we will stand together even if the whole world is our enemy.
Charles: Thank you Erik, but may I ask why the whole world is our enemy?
Erik: Because I am here.

he’s such a fangirl. he definitely has a few scrolls of adventures (and fanfiction) of the Blue Spirit and reads them every night while giggling and kicking his feet in the air.

What do you think about Arnold and the Puppets?
It's quite an interesting concept, I must say. The animation is really good, and there are some genuinely hilarious moments in it! I wonder if we'll get a season 2, and if so, I'd love to see more characters make a cameo!

Also the implication of Arnold and Frederick being related/connected is so wild to me fdhsjfsgfs

Feitan Head Cannon
Feitan does not like giving out compliments. So much so that you've grown used to the smart ass remarks and little insults wat he would throw wat you. At this point you find them to be terms of endearment. But there are times in the quiet moments when he'll tell you little things in his first language. Knowing that you won't understand what he's saying, he'll whisper compliments to you and watch your nose scrunch up in confusion as you pester him to tell you what he said.

people who think sy is a bad / unkind person are literally falling for his own self-brainwashing lmfao. he demonstrates time and time again that even though he himself thinks of him as a terrible, unkind, manipulative person, he continually goes out of his way to do good by other people even when he conceivably gains no reward for doing so. he helps people and then formulates a selfish reason for it after the fact. the other characters aren't just stupidly following him around defending him for no reason - they like him because he is ultimately a good, kind person that they like and want to protect. a flawed person, but one that is ultimately good by nature. tapping my forehead repeatedly

i’ve jumped feet first into the hole of black myth wukong!!!
and also caved and drew an oc
this is Lǐyú (鲤鱼) meaning carp (uh but i found this through google translate so take that w/ a grain of salt)
carp are considered lucky in chinese culture - its what im basing their ‘powers’ on, they have good and bad luck
and guess who’s lucky enough to be pulled into bmw :)
also gave a name to the destined one since ‘destined one’ is a mouth full
name i picked for him is yēzi (椰子) which means coconut!! was looking up stone fruit and cocnuts re one of them, plus he was (presumably) born on flower fruit mountain, he might have been given a fruit name before being whisked away to train for his destiny
uh anyway not canon but i thought it was cute
massive shoutout to everyone in the black myth wukong/wukong x reader tag bcs y’all inspired me to draw my oc! wanted to join the fun so here i am
