I have more of these around July but tagging them will take a while

[lazy30]

Guess who /j

Your opinions on C!Dream 👀?

Obama? /j

I like how self destructive he is lmao, the thing is what he doing or planning is with reasons, even it’s hurt him too like dethroned c!george, burning the community house, etch all of that have a reasons. Maybe for someone else the reasons is ridiculous or something but not for c!dream, he need to do something, something to unite the server again as fast as possible.

Yeah the way he did it was wrong but what choice does he have? Maybe if he still had his friends on his side, maybe if they can share they own opinions how to unite the server again then the path wouldn’t be like this. C!dream is human too after all, he make a mistakes (a lot of it) like what he do in exile it’s too much and he doesn’t intend to end up like that.

So you ask what my opinions on c!dream? I love him

language use in kiseki

I don't think this has been mentioned before but the kiseki scriptwriters/directors actually use language to reflect the characters' backgrounds/level of education. This is purely from observing the language shown in the drama, I'm unsure if it is reflective of Taiwanese society.

We know that whilst not well to do, Bai Zong Yi is a top student. He's well-educated and learned. Fan Ze Rui, given his privileged background, is also the same. This is reflected in their speech: they use standard mandarin, and I don't remember them having used slangs. This is one of the reasons they click.

Contrast this with Ai Di, Chen Yi, and the soy milk shop owner. The owner mainly uses minnanyu (taiwanese hokkien), interspersed with mandarin. For Ai Di and Chen Yi, they mainly use mandarin but with certain minnanyu words interspersed. Ai Di also uses quite a bit of slang.

Here Ai Di says "我爸妈毒kiang了啦". Kiang is minnanyu slang for tripping on drugs.

Here Chen Yi says "an zua 变这样" (how did you become like this).

We know that Ai Di left school, and given how Chen Yi's speech pattern is similar to Ai Di's just with less slang, we can assume Chen Yi also left (and may even have been more educated). This suggests that the use of minnanyu is intentional to show that they are less privileged in terms of education/background.

This lends some insight into the boundary between Fan Ze Rui and Ai Di & Chen Yi. Fan Ze Rui is only affiliated with Yiyun Meng because the 2 of them treat him as a friend and the Fan family has ties to Yiyun Meng. He is called 哥 because he is a friend, not because he is a brother. And this stems from his privileged background. He can't speak the same language/lingo and he finds himself unable to assimilate.

The writers go on to juxtapose the reality of Bai Zong Yi (now affiliated with some Yiyun Meng members) and Ai Di, against the normal lives peers their age lead.

This scene was quite funny. Fang Zi An thought Fan Ze Rui and Ai Di were undercover policemen, and he thought it was as though he was in a Stephen Chow film, getting into character as a calefare speaking cantonese (“meng ngo ah a-sir. ngo hai ho yan ah. nei hai caai lou. nei hai caai lou!”). Cantonese isn't widely spoken in Taiwan and we can see the faces Fan Ze Rui and Ai Di make at each other showing that they don't really get what Fang Zi An is saying at all.

And Fang Zi An is an example of how kids their age should be - carefree, nerdy, passionate etc., which Bai Zong Yi and Ai Di do not have the privilege of. Bai Zong Yi has to worry about his family/finances, while Ai Di has real danger to contend with at every turn.

It's just so interesting how kiseki decided to use language to add flavour to their characters. And I love how these characters from vastly different worlds have collided with each other.

north star | beiguang

Summary: More’s the pity that phoenixes are few. Captain Beu has witnessed enough battles to know what it feels like to win some, and to lose some. But as she watched her North Star fall, the fragileness in her was inescapable, and so did the light in her eyes, fighting to stay alive.

Tags: slight angst, open ending/no fixed ending, cliffhanger, very descriptive words used/in paragraphs

A/N: hey! this one's a short one; a drabble, and the names and terms used here are counterparts of the actual ones from the game itself, so i will be providing a vocab list at the end! (its bc i submitted this for my literature class and had to use other names!) although not knowing the new terms won't affect your reading ;3, enjoy!

The sounds of the boat paddled to the rhythm of the wind’s howls, and under the abyssal sky did the pale crescent moon glow amongst a blanket of stars that stretched to infinity. The night has yet to cease, though fragments upon fragments of the day began to twinkle in the far east. The sea bore not a single one of the orthopteran crickets, but in a way, that was all that filled Captain Beu’s ears.

The wind nipped at her bare arms and shoulders, skin paling at the icy bites, followed by another zephyr howl from the sky. Since the sun dawned through her window, the captain felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the world once her heel met the wooden boards of the Falcor ship, a loud ‘krrriiiinnggg!’ echoing in the confines of her body, as she took in a whiff of the enigmatic air.

One word from her men saying they were nearing Ilyue’s borders had Beu rushing to the wheel, yelling at those in charge of the pit to crank the speed. The anomaly within her was something she couldn’t ignore any longer; not with both that and Ning circling her mind.

The ship’s passed the vicinity of Guangyao Shoal, and Beu’s sudden spike of nervousness wouldn’t go away any the less. The unexpected change of behavior in the captain shook the Falcor Fleet with an unexplainable fear.

Beu’s hands, dextrous and skilled yet brutish and battered, held onto the wheel like sap. Her ruby eyes were trained forward, sharp and serrated—like the tip of her greatsword—and they glowed like blood red sapphire.

Roughly, she swerved right. 

` The ship’s passed the vicinity of southwest Guizho. The fore of the Falcor raised slightly above the waves, its speed gradually increasing by the minute, all the while Beu’s trepidation has yet to go away. Above them was a blank sheet of dread with an air of despair, yet a scent of resolve was present, wavering and faltering, faint but beating.

She looked down at the wooden floorboards of the deck where she stood and maneuvered the boat, breathing senselessly; harshly; carelessly. She was unmoving, her feet nailed to the ground, head hung low unknowingly of defeat or regret.

Despite the ill-lit sky, she felt as if the night got darker.

She looked up from the ground, her head rising up just in time for her men to warn her about the rising waves pulling them from the front. She yelled for the sails to be pulled as she continuously spun the wheel to avoid conflicting with the raging tides.

Barely but successfully, amidst the wallowing sea, an array of joyful cries were heard. Though what anomaly was behind the relentless attacks couldn’t have been the rainbow after the storm. She thought, ‘Ning’s safe. I know she is.

‘This isn’t happening right now. I must be dreaming.

'…

'Yeah. I’m dreaming.’

But she felt her heart race and hands tremble—something she knew should’ve happened earlier. If not for the overwhelming feeling, she would have noticed her palms sweat and her breathing erratically shaking, and the topaz gem on her ring fading slowly. She would have noticed.

“Dàjiě.”

“Not now, Zua—”

“Ning… Ning’s up there, and she’s about to do something she’ll regret.”

A/N: hey! you may be a little confused with the terms used in this drabble, so here's a vocab list!

beu – beidou ning – ningguang zua – kazuha chamber amethyst – jade chamber guangyao shoal – yaoguang shoal guizho – guili plains falcor – the alcor flagship falcor fleet – the crux

also i just realized that the kazuha character was already in this scene even though this scene was inspired by (and takes place during) turning point in chapter i: act iii - a new star approaches, but oh well..

hehe, thank you sm for reading!

the beauty of it allllll 😭😭💗💗

[estranhagarota]

E eu, que nunca tive ninguém, te tive. Tu fez nascer em mim uma eu que não existia. Era uma eu feliz, que brinca, que zua, que ri, que abraça (mds, eu te abracei por conta própria), eu até dancei pra ti, logo eu? Ninguém nunca tinha despertado isso em mim antes de você, por isso eu nunca sentia saudade (aquela saudade que dói) de alguém. Tu conheceu o que ninguém mais conhece, tu foi a única pessoa que não teve medo de se molhar no meu mar (talvez no início por conta da minha cara nada muito agradável kk). Descobriu que no meu mar além de profundo e escuro, tem partes bonitas, tem peixes lindos, algas, cavalos marinhos (coloridos de roxo/lilás), corais de diversas cores e que essa sereia aqui só tem cara de Ursula mas é um poço de sentimentalismo e frágil.

Eu te levei ao mais profundo do meu mar e tu não teve medo, logo você que tem medo de uma barata voadora (kkk) e nem nadar sabe, não teve medo de se afogar na minha escuridão, no meu caos e conhecer meus demônios.

Tu me tirou do meu mar e me levou num aquário pra conhecer um pouquinho do mundo lá fora, obrigada por tanto. Obrigada por me deixar lembranças lindas e momentos incríveis, queria voltar um pouquinho no tempo e reviver tudo de novo, porém agora eu te abraçaria mais até você se encher de mim.

Tu foi embora e levou um pedaço de mim e tá tudo bem, deixa eu ser essa pessoa pra ti. Voltei pra minha concha esperando a tua volta, sei que vai dizer que tenho que ser isso tudo com todos mas meu bem, quem me entenderia, quem não me acharia estranha e quem não teria medo de se afogar? você que é louca de aceitar nadar comigo e o mais louco é que você nem sabe nadar.

Tô com tanta saudade.

FOOTNOTES

Mismatch. Kanji: 適合者 tekigousha “Accommodator” Furigana: エクソシスト ekusoshisuto “Exorcist”

It’s actually remarkable how well the Akuma has done, considering it was pretty literally born yesterday. Its version of Allen’s arm doesn’t have Innocence powering it, so it must be powered by its own Dark Matter core, which is far more integrated – one could say “synced” – into its being than the Innocence is to Allen. It also clearly doesn’t lack for ingenuity or flexibility. I suspect the real problem here is less that the Akuma isn’t up to the task and more that Dark Matter cores are mass-produced and start out considerably weaker, individually, than Innocence. A quality vs. quantity issue, essentially. They can get stronger, obviously, as the Akuma obeys its prerogative and takes life, but again: born yesterday. This one didn’t have time to reach its full potential, which would, I think, I have been very scary. [ ♠ ]

Haha okay what Kanda actually said here: お前みたいな甘いやり方は大嫌いだが...口にしたことを守らないやつはもっと嫌いだ！ Omae mitai na amai yarikata wa daikirai da ga... kuchi ni shita koto wo mamoranai yatsu wa motto kirai da!

This is just a case of a lot of things that don’t translate well into English lining up, so I leaned heavily on conveying the spirit of things rather than the letter. A more literal translation would be “I hate people like you’s naive way of doing things, but I hate people who don’t protect what their mouth has done even more.”

Or, colloquially put: “Don’t let your mouth write cheques your ass can’t cash.”

If you’ll recall what I said last chapter about that word 守る mamoru, usually translated as “protect”, you’ll see that in this context it means to "keep" (one’s word). It forms a narrative chord with the earlier line “You were the one who went on and on about helping them”, because “help” here is once again that same word, 守る mamoru. [ ♠ ]

Untranslateable: 消し飛べ keshitobe, a compound composed of “erase/delete/extinguish” and “jump/fly” that basically implies “fly [apart] and cease existing”, basically “become dust”. Really can’t think of any succinct, shoutable way to say that in English, and they’re in a literal ruin full of dust and sand, so. [ ♠ ]
