Hello, hello~ I go by Lacuna!

I translate Korean to English for fandoms. This is a multifandom blog, but right now it's pretty Transformers and Alien Stage-centric. These translations can be found at #lacuna translates.

If you are interested in the translations but are a minor/would prefer to avoid NSFW or dead dove content unrelated to translation, please feel free to follow the tag on Tumblr rather than following my blog!

My fanfics are at #lacuna writes or on AO3 directly! And for anything else, please feel free to send an ask, and I'll try to get back to you! My account is broken so I can't reply to any replies on posts though.

Dealing with Starscream ages a mech greatly

The timeline on tf wiki says Megatron was born 9 million years ago, and Starscream around this time was already an accomplished scientist going on expeditions, so Starscream was a cougar before one came out

I went ahead and made @dallacuna-b to quarantine the VoxAl stuff I'm reblogging from Lace but now I'm like, hm. What other fandom could I put separately for dallacuna-a…

dallacuna-a

The answer was that I make this one into @dallacuna-a with the Transformers: Prime energon blue avatar, and then turn my primary @dallacuna into an actual usable blog ahahaha

(to translate: Do not respond to my criticism about how the artist wrote/designed the work by explaining the in-universe explanation for it. The author chose the rules that made that explanation happen; they are not bound by these laws.)

I've never read Homestuck but there's a type of media that I call "a Homestuck" and I think it's a useful categorization. The main criteria are:

long enough that the time investment is a serious barrier to entry

irrevocably changes your personality

brings something genuinely unique to the table. there is no real substitute for reading/playing/watching it in its entirety

Fate/Stay Night is a Homestuck. Worm is a Homestuck. When They Cry is a Homestuck.

Undertale has cultural impact similar to a Homestuck at first glance, but the fact that it's a pretty short and accessible game means that you don't get the particular mix of sunk cost fallacy and an intimate experience with a piece of media that results in you needing to connect with others who have already put in the time investment. You can buy your friends Undertale and expect them to play it if they're not too busy; telling a friend to read Homestuck is giving them a quest that, if accepted, will spark an odyssey. to read someone's Homestuck is an act of love without true equivalent.

death of the author yeah whatever but death of the fandom is so integral to enjoying and having a decent read of legitimately anything like that is just a necessary step to take in ur head always. do not let them affect the text in any way exterminate them all with ur death ray. they r not real and cannot hurt u and have absolutely 0 bearing on the text itself

#real #fandom

I don't even do this for writers but today I have learned that if I find a translator I find masterful, I will bolt out of bed to pace and be unable to go back to sleep… what I would give to translate English to Korean that well…

Thinking about how the delineation between "Canon" and "Word of God"/"Word of God Canon" seems to have become muddied over the years… I think it's an important part of the fandom experience to accept them as different concepts that people can ascribe different levels of authority.

Canon is what is presented directly in the media as it's published. "Word of God" is a statement from someone with the right to speak on the work, such as the creator or staff.

I think while understandable why this may be taken as true canon or a credible reference to win arguments in interpretation, I personally think it's completely valid to embrace Canon while rejecting Word of God. There's an argument to be made that if it was an important enough detail to canonize, it would have made it into the story.

(Niche take, I think it could even be argued that Word of God really is just a creator's own Headcanon, since "Headcanon" refers to an individual's personal interpretation of a story/character when it hasn't been explored in the original media property, i.e. doesn't contradict canon)

Not that I think that anyone is wrong for giving weight to Word of God—just that I think it's important and helpful in fandom to keep the concepts distinct. It makes things easier to talk about and to have more nuanced discussions. More words to describe specific things make communication more interesting.

One of my rogue opinions about fandom is that genuinely, knowledge of RACK (risk-aware consensual kink) helps adults understand varied and interesting adult relationships in fiction, even non-sexual ones. The principles involved are widely applicable—"I'm aware of the risks and am choosing to do this, because I have deemed those risks acceptable."

Some of the most interesting character dynamics out there.

November 2024 to November 2025 has been win after win in the yaoi department for me and I can’t believe it (for the stuff that didn’t drop within the year I just discovered it this year ahaha)

… I love the almost even split between egregiously messy toxic old man yaoi and just two little guys who are doing their best. Kaiji and Ichijou are in the exact centre.
