[Masterpost] Tsukino Picatrix Pamphlet Translations

Hello, hello~! It has been a really long time since Picatrix released, and translating the pamphlet took a lot more time than usual ^^;

Tsukino Picatrix was their prompt/theme last year, and it's a world of magic, wizards, fantasy, and mysteries~

It's an interesting and magical take with strong astrological themes and influences, if I'm being honest, but the lore and world-building is solid as always!

It still leaves a lot open to interpretation for the sake of letting the fans be creative about it. You gotta love how much TsukiPro spoils us with these AUs~

With Fujiwara leaving the creative board, I'm afraid that things in the fandom have been slow, and it's been difficult to stay locked in to it, but TsukiPika slowly brought me back down that deep, deep swamp.

(o^▽^o)

I do hope we get to see Tsukino Picatrix adapted on stage one of these days! I'd love to see SQS's take on it, that's for sure~

I hope that you enjoy the world as much as I did!

Which Guardian Planet would you choose for yourself, I wonder~

Thank you to Rakuen for helping me get my copy~!

Notes, and masterpost under the cut, enjoy~!

A few notes:

A lot of the technical information stuff in the pamphlet were taken from Wikipedia (like the planetary information). The blank map I used for a portion of the translations was taken from Wikipedia.

All character pictures and designs are property of TsukiPro. I do not claim ownership of them whatsoever. I only did the translations.

'Hollywood Babylon (Ushinawareta Rakuen)' subs

Download the subs from this url: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

This show is loosely based on The Last Tycoon by Fitzgerald, and since the credited adaptation of this book was Tomu's taidan show, I've been curious about Maya Miki's for a while. It's not my favorite, but it was an interesting one. Plus it's so star-packed they probably didn't know what to do with everyone. We've got Tamo, Charlie, Tartan, Osa, Komu... Gaichi was also supposed to get a role but was out due to injury. Not counting the wild Pokémons like Asko, Kiriyan, Tomu, Eritan. Yeah I named all these to get to Tomu. Not sorry. Many musumeyaku also went on to become top musumeyaku, though Nagisa Aki probably had the most prominent role among those.

First important note, this story talks about the dark side of Hollywood, so any content and trigger warning you can think of is probably here and not at all in the background. A special mention to substance abuse and fire weapons.

Second, you'll find online the VHS recording day and the NHK one. I timed this to a recording of the VHS day, but broadcast on Sky Stage. Make sure you have the correct day, or the subs won't work. Message me if you're having trouble, I'll glad to check it for you!

Third, I used the script to sub this, and as a part od the programme, I got to see the names in English. For a while that was what I was using but soon that romanization stopped making sense. For example, the programme says the main female character is called Leah, but on stage you have it written as Lia. In the end my choices were a mix of what could be verified and good sense.

Talking about the script, endless thanks to those who made me that donation! I was probably going to do this without any support, so it was heavenly that didn't need to. Thank you for everything so far and for all the help that keeps coming. Thank you! You really spoil me!

I've been giving some thought to "what is the best way for a person in 2024 to get into/get back into Sound Horizon" as I reconnect with it myself (the more I do so the more I realize how massively and almost ridiculously influential it was to what i like in storytelling...)

I'd like to post more about some options now and then. Lately I've enjoyed these Youtube uploads by QueenoftheHorizon of the album Elysion, which are bundled with not only translations but tons of additional notes and information.

Elysion is, like certain others of Sound Horizon's albums, a series of interconnected stories with tragic thematic elements in common and a general framing device in the form of one story that connects them; in this case the framing story is that of a father and daughter -- an assassin and his sickly albino child El, both of whom pass away in the events of the first song. The child hopes they will somehow reunite someday in Paradise. After death, the father's soul begins to wander, seeking a person conceptualized as 'Elys' (representing the longing for his lost daughter), and we see the tragic stories of various other girls that his soul perceives, wondering if they are the one he seeks...

Elysion was probably the first Sound Horizon album I heard (i'm 70% sure a stage show video of "Ark" was my actual intro to Sound Horizon; since it was like 15 years ago and I rapidly watched as much as I could of them in the ensuing hours and days the memory is unclear haha.) This channel and playlist first went up in 2010 so, and thus wouldn't have been around when I first got into Sanhora in idk ~2008, which is a pity, because they're a wonderful entry point for a canon that can be inaccessible to those who speak little or no Japanese -- in addition to the English translations themselves in each video, the uploader has packed the video notes with explanation and analysis of each song's associated story.

If you are interested in "Elysion" as an entry point to Sound Horizon, I highly recommend watching the videos on this playlist and reading both the video descriptions and the pinned comment for each list, for both translations and a wonderfully detailed explanation and further analysis of each story. For example, the one for Ark elaborately lists out not just the events that are likely to have transpired within the song but also alternative explanations to the common fandom interpretation as well as highlights of extra material (ex. a two-chapter special manga release) that support the ambiguity of interpretation.

Also, definitely check both the video notes and the top comment, where the uploader put translator notes. Here are some of the uploader's translation notes for "Baroque" -- they really are amazingly thorough and interesting, and are a can't miss if you are a language learner yourself who wants to connect with and understand the original wording as much as possible:

Elysion also has music videos and stage shows (ex., Ark stage, Stardust stage, El no Rakuen MV. 'Probably-scary doll' warning for that last one-- in fact the use of BJDs in their shows and videos is how I first heard of Sound Horizon lol, they were being discussed on Den of Angels.) This is material that I think is wonderful and, as mentioned, this kind of thing is the way I personally first experienced the tales; anyone who enjoys these uploads will hopefully go on to look them up. However, the stage shows and MVs are targeted at existing fans and often assume the audience already knows the story (or at the very least speaks Japanese!), so for anyone who doesn't speak fluent Japanese and wants to get the meaning of the songs, their plot and theme and characters, this is really an unbeatable way to enjoy the music for the first time.

Slam Dunk: So Who Won the IH after Sannoh Lost?

There are a lot of theories out there as to who actually clinched the Inter-High championship after Sannoh took a shock loss to Shohoku. What we do know is that Inoue 1) has a specific school/winner in mind and 2) most likely had decided who it was by the time he drew the IH bracket in the manga (he's shared this in another interview that I'll post about another day). Let’s look at who might’ve won the IH today :)

The biggest hints come from a 2017 interview, where Inoue was asked who won the IH and he stated that it was a team that was never depicted in Slam Dunk.

Clip of the interview here; question starts around the 5:10 mark. No English subtitles there but I've transcribed the interview:

Q: By the way, who won the national championship? A: Ah, about that... Q: Oh, should I not have asked that? A: Well, it's not that. It's just... (hesitates) Q: Kainan was #2, right? A: Kainan was #2. Q: So my guess is that maybe Meihou won the championship? A: Oh no, that's not the case. Q: Oh so there is a champion [in your mind]. A: Yes, in my mind there's a specific winner. Q: Mm... A: But the winning team is not one that has ever been described or appeared. Q: A team that has never appeared? A: (nods) It's a team that has never appeared. And if Meihou won the championship, that would be pretty annoying. Q: Yes. A: They have the talent and capability, but I think to let such a team win would really be pretty annoying. Q: I seem to have gotten the best answer, no?

Someone from Hong Kong then did a hyper detailed analysis in Chinese to get to the bottom of it, and deduced that the eventual champion was...

.

.

.

Hakata.

I read the essay in the native format (see essay here) and loved it because it made a ton of sense, then I tried to do a Google translate to see if the English was ok. Answer: IT WAS NOT. It came out completely garbled. But if you want to try reading the article, I'd recommend using ChatGPT; both the free and Pro versions translate a lot more smoothly and accurately than DeepL, which in turn is a cut above Google Translate.

For a super simplified/condensed version of the article, the main logic for a Hakata win goes as follows:

According to the IH bracket, there're 5 seeds for this year's tournament and we know the seeding reflects the performance of the previous year's IH tournament. The top 4 seeds this year are the top 4 teams of the previous year and those seeds can be easily identified in the bracket as they got to skip the first round matches this year.

The bracket shows the top 4 seeds being: Sannoh (top left quadrant of bracket), Kainan (bottom left), Hakata (top right; but in the English translation there's a weird typo showing "Hakuta"), and Meihou (bottom right). Note: Meihou wasn't a top 4 team last year; Aiwa was, according to Maki. So presumably, since Meihou beat Aiwa this year to take the #1 position in their prefecture tournament, Meihou took their place in the IH seeding too.

The 5th seed who also got to skip the first round match was Rakuen, somewhere in the middle on the left side bracket. They were probably the best performing team amongst the Top 8 last year so got the 5th seed this year as a result.

We also know that last year Sannoh was the champion and Kainan lost to them in the semi finals. And since Aiwa was #4 last year, Kainan must have been #3 as it's impossible to lose to Sannoh in the semis and be any higher than #3. That means the one team remaining (Hakata) must've been #2 last year, after facing Sannoh in the finals but had clearly lost.

With Sannoh out of the way this year, it’s entirely feasible for a strong team that already has the experience of playing deep into the IH tournament to actually win the championship this year. There may have also been sentimental reasons as to why Inoue picked Hakata as the winner - Inoue is a Kyushu native (having been born and bred there) and Hakata is also in Kyushu.

IMO not depicting the eventual champion is a really great approach and is a testament to Inoue's storytelling skills. In the minds of many SD fans, the national champions that year ought to be a team that's more impressive than Sannoh and Shohoku because even with Sannoh out of the way they'll still need to beat plenty of strong teams en route.

How would/should such a team look like? It'll be impossible to convey the power of such a team with just a few manga panels - especially since every SD reader will have their own expectations of what such a team would/should look like.

So Inoue goes for the opposite approach: offer nothing. Without depicting the winning team at all, he preserves the reader's ability to imagine everything and anything they want to about the team. The canvas stays empty, and we have the paint.

May Flowers Game - June 2024 Progress Report

Another month has passed, so here’s another update on my gamedev journey. The goal is to create my first video game using the Godot game engine.

(Prior Updates: May, Initial)

Research

The main goal for June was research. Play other character/exploration-focused games with no farming or combat elements and see what they do to keep things fun. Here’s what I played (or watched others play)

A Short Hike: A game about a penguin climbing a mountain. Finding new people, new areas, and moving/gliding were very enjoyable. The game’s 3D environment with pixelated graphics was also a new experience for me. A very nice cozy game.

Rakuen: I love this game. You play as a kid stuck in a hospital, trying to help other sick patients, while also exploring a fantasy world described in a book. Lots of exploration, puzzles, and focus on characters. Catchy music too. Kind of exactly what I was looking for. I think Undertale fans would enjoy this one.

The Stanley Parable: A choose-your-own-adventure game. No NPCs, just movement and a very entertaining and well-crafted narrator.

Potion Permit: You play as a chemist who just moved into a town, and must make a living brewing potions while getting to know the town, its people, and the wilderness. The first life-sim game I’ve actually beaten. The lack of time limits was greatly appreciated.

Shenmue (Watched not Played): An important piece of gaming history. I watched a playthrough of this one, just so I could see this game at its best, and not miss any important events.

Freddi Fish 2 (Watched not Played): A point-and-click adventure for children??!… What’s this doing here?!?! Well, this one wasn’t on my original list, but I realized the point-and-click game genre had many similarities with the walk/talk/trade-items gameplay I originally envisioned. Plus this one had no game-overs and no frustrating trial-and-error like many do. Studying how a different genre handled that kind of gameplay, while making it very accessible and entertaining, was a good learning experience.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits (WIP): I started this one, more for fun than research, but haven’t finished it yet. Beautiful game. As others have noted, it’s like playing a Pixar movie.

OneShot (Not Started Yet): Ran out of time. 😒 Next month. Really looking forward to this one.

All in all, I took 10 pages of notes. Things I noticed, liked, disliked, wanted to think about.

Prototype

On June 20, I began work on an actual prototype (“Prototype 1”). Code from my earlier Godot projects was collected, combined, and improved. The goal is to implement every important mechanic in the game. Everything the player should be able to DO in the game, the prototype should have at least ONE place where the player can do it. In a very condensed environment that's easy to test. Physics and graphics can be fine-tuned later. This prototype is all about functionality. For example:

Walk in 8 directions.

Talk to an NPC.

Choose an answer when the NPC asks a question which triggers different outcomes.

Walk to the edge of a room and appear in an adjacent room.

And overall, things have gone very well! I have a page-long checklist of everything I want to implement in this prototype, and it’s about half-done. :D

Except menus.

And except puzzles.

Puzzle mechanics aren’t added yet. I realized the mechanics I was planning did not have much synergy and were very simple. I also want to review the notes I took during research and study puzzles in general. So, back to the drawing board, for now. Puzzles are the next major step. And I think I have a pretty good idea how I want to change them.

Audio

I made a text-blip sound effect (hear it in the video above) and a placeholder “song” of 6 notes to use for testing music. Since this game’s art style is based on the Game Boy, I did some research on the Game Boy’s sound capabilities.

It has four “instruments” that can play sounds simultaneously, aka “channels”:

Channel 1 and 2: Pulse Channel. Each can emit a quadrangular wave

Channel 3: “Wave” channel with user-definable waveform

Channel 4: A noise wave (think static)

Channel 3 is the most fascinating imo. You can define your own timbre of the sound to be played. If you ever played a Game Boy game that had a unique-sounding song that, chances are it was a custom waveform via this channel. (Also, if you ever played Mother 3, the movie theater part with the retro-sounding music did in fact use the original Game Boy audio capabilities in the Game Boy Advance, and also includes these sounds.)

There is software that can reproduce the capabilities described above in order to create Game Boy-sounding music on a PC. I’d like to experiment with that in the coming weeks. The Game Boy was capable of some really good music. Limiting my scope to its capabilities for the same of my own sanity, plus the flexibility of that wave channel to create custom sounds, seems like it can produce some really nice results, which is very appealing to me.

Graphics

I made a font! It only includes English letters, for now, but it works! I used it in the “Save Pointy” art earlier this week and the prototype video above, and intend to use it for everything going forward.

Closing

And that’s June! Have a nice July, everyone!

I don't know if I explained this

But for my character building I decided to do for Rao as if she hadn't suffered enough in canon and my fanon

She has mommy issues lmao

In more,,,serious notes

She was abandoned at like 7-9 by a neglectful mother who felt Rao ruined her life and having some kid following around made her,,,undesirable(all you need to know is she was selfish).

She plopped Rao on the steps of ankoku temple and then never came back when she was 9 at most. The old head priest took her in and raised her the rest of her life to take over as head priestess after him.

That's why I made her,,,motherly in personality to most and especially Rak and so quick to not want to see the worst in people,,,,a part of her still has self blame for her mother leaving and why when she died she was just anguished and miserable for "leaving" Rakuen behind.

Also to make it hurt. Rao kinda looks like her mom tehe
