This blog gets so many notes and it hurts my soul. Some of the translations are inaccurate but I've been burnt out on translating stuff for 4 years LMFAO. Carry on tho, and support the artists you fiends (affectionate)

Translation of a lil gameboy-inspired set of screenshots by @toki504! (with bonus dialog animations by me)
#translation#hollow knight#korean#toki504#gameboy#gif warning#Hornet#Ghost#Idk why I animated them I just felt the itch#Luckily they were cool w it#I considered extending the last 2 frames on all of them so they'd be the same duration#But eeeehhhh#Till next time! 👋

See, the problem with me translating any kind of shippy comics is I'm not at all "romantically inclined", by which I mean I accidentally turned a cute lighthearted interaction into Definitely Not A Fae Encounter
#Blabbing.txt#Rip Hornet ig#But now I'm debating keeping it. I'd have to clear it with the artist first tho duveidgfjfh#Anyways. To any fellow aros: uncomfortable with romance? Turn it into a deal with the devil! Easy!

What's that fools name again? *searches for "yell hero"*
Translation of a comic by ginmokusei_haru@twitter!
#translation#japanese#Bnha#ginmokusei_haru#requested#wnderwater#I watched like. The first season. And kinda passively absorbed more information over time via tumblr#Also I hope I got the punchline right 💦💦💦#It's either yamada added himself to aizawa's contacts#Or that he changed aizawa's name#I'm 70% certain it's the former#Anyways. Thx for requesting! Japanese is always fun because of how many resources there are#Woot!

Translation of a few miscellaneous comics by @rotka33!
#comic#hollow knight#translation#manga#Rotka33#korean#Oddly enough it's really difficult to translate their comics because of some quirk in their writing#None of the tools I use can make heads or tails of it#Bad grammar? A different kind of Korean? Idk but it's really puzzling#Tho I am curious to find out why if anyone knows

Translation of a comic about Hornet and Grimm's first meeting, by @yourmobi! (m061__@twitter)
#Hollow knight#Hornet#Grimm#Comic#Translation#Japanese#Yourmobi#This one was SO HARD for some reason#It's literally just one sentence but it took me centuries before I was satisfied with the wording#Anyways Hornet says no soliciting more at 11

Translation of a comic by @yourmobi! (m061__@twitter)
#Hollow knight#Manga#Comic#Translation#Grimm#Korean#Yourmobi#Ngl before translating I thought they were embarrassed because ghost walked in on their flirting sesh. I didn't even see the fire hdvdjfirb#Also idk abt the wording on this one so take it with a grain of salt lmao

I really can't find the explanation of the joke for no. 19 aka the one where quirrel sits in the void, I cant find it in the comments and would appreciate if this is answered, otherwise thanks and good luck to translating!
Ah I'm so sorry, I forgot to check for asks. But yeah I understand! that's definitely one of the more confusing ones lmao. I'm just gonna nab the explanation from reddit:
Ok I 100% gotta rephrase this comic 🤣
Here's my interpretation: basically it's just a comic poking fun at the fact we often find him in a pool of some sort. I'm guessing the author asked themself "what if quirrel found the abyss?" and rolled with it. Also, him being there totally ruins all the drama, much to the dismay of hollow knight's designated theater kid
The comic: [link]

More comics
Apparently there still are a lot more comics to be translated. I need to see them all. Is it still a work in progress?
---
Whoops posted this early, yes! Sorry I checked out for like... 3 months or something crazy, I just completely burnt myself out. Didn't know I could do that with translations, pfft, my bad.
Uuhh if I recall I have 2~ more main comics of the Quirrel series to do (not to mention fixing all the old ones lmao), plus a bunch of minor things like extras and chapter title things. Ngl I'm gonna have to update my process if I'm gonna bother with the titles because good golly that's a lot of re-drawing.
Besides that, I got a couple of non-hk comics submitted that I'm interested in doing, so I suppose you can look forward to that? Plus a few miscellaneous ones I've found over the past few months.
Tldr, yep there are and yes, you will >:)
