I feel like the larger point of that jgy post I made regarding translations is...I just wish more mdzs fans who mainly/only read translations of the text (specifically English ones) and cite it as their source took into consideration that there is a strong chance they may be missing something (oftentimes nuances) when they make metas and the like based on that... plus translations can be subject to a translator's own perspective on the text too so that's something else to take into consideration...

#lulas's randomness #mdzs #aaa I hope my wording doesn't come off as rude I really only mean it as a gentle nudge at most #it's just. the same text in the source can be translated with different wordings phrasings etc from my experience #because people will read things differently based on their perspective of what goes on in the original text and that influences their tls #(among other factors as well!)#anyway in the long run I'm not like. mad or anything I just kind of want to mention this since it's been rolling around in my brain #(also this applies to other translations of non-english language media in general even if I largely mention mdzs bc it's seeing some things #in that fandom that spurred these thoughts orz)
