A bittersweet legacy @atariince - Tumblr Blog

This blog is and will probably remain mostly inactive.

I'm still on Tumblr, currently feeding my need for BG3 content, and it happens here:

A personal blog for random stuff, maoinly Tolkien and BG3.

Oh, btw, here is the baby I helped making 💙🤗🌟

It took me a whole year to translate it, and it costed me a few life points, but I'm a little proud of it (and grateful for the opportunity and the assistance during the proofreading process!).

Anyway, here it is, and I hope the French readership will like it!

The last book I translated (a whole year of work) was released today.

Unfortunately, I haven't actually seen it yet (the publisher sent my copy to my former address 😑), but there's already a short on YT.

It's the first French translation of The Complete Guide to Middle-earth by Robert Foster, illustrated by Ted Nasmith.

Yep, it's me (from my other blog).

I did a thing \o/

Have I created a (test) Curufin-Tav in Bg3?

Am I doing this because I want to see this freaking ass of a Noldo will react to Astarion?

Am I planning a fanfic about my two favourite high-elves from different plans?

So many questions... too early to answer.

Am I shipping them? tbh I don't know yet. I'll see how Curvo will deal with that beautiful traumatized bastard of a vampire spawn.

Yep.

I know...

The number of artists I would commission if I had a budget for it is insane.

And I will commission them as soon as I can.

Please, pay the artists you like if you can afford it. If you can't, share their works. Tell them you love their work. They deserve to know you love what they do.

And to the artists : You are important. Your art is important. If your followers don't commission you, it's not because they don't like your work. We adore what you do.

AI will NEVER replace you.

My OCs : Conceited, selfish bastards plagued by vainglory.

When the proof-reader tells me "This author is a bit judgemental against the House of Fëanor, isn't he?"

Oh, girl, you have no idea. Now, let me tell you something....

I've been working on this translation for 10 months and yessss, I'm so grateful to be able to translate this major publications! but oh god, it's driving me mad... 500 pages to proofread before next Wednesday 🙃 Anyway, soon available in French, thanks to my publisher, Bragelonne :

How the revision of the proofreading is going: Page 500/820.

Galadriel why do you have to make everything so complicated?

Curufin and Celegorm, you are still my problematic favs, but how do I explain your embarrassing behaviours to the proof-reader and publisher?

Oh, and Lúthien, nobody understands how your powers work, that's annoying. Or how and why you fell in love with Beren.

The naming system among the Noldor... How am I supposed to explain that to someone who knows nothing about Noldor?

Time is different in Aman. How different? Do you have tome for a 30 pages essay? Because I don't.

NO you can't use the historic present tense when you talk about Beleriand or Númenor. Because they're gone. For good. MYTHS. Please don't let me start on this, it just feels too weird.

But present tense for Aman. It still exists, period.

Yes, "Hair-commander" is a weird name but don't you dare judge the Eldar for their hair-kink.

I'm so tired, guys.

Friendly reminder than even if you use AI-generated images/texts/ videos for a good cause, for meaningful and important fights, you're still using fascist tools, thus playing the game of technofascists.

It's not inconsequential.

Don't use AI, please. You don't need it. They make you believe you need it. Don't give them this power.
