Match Up ASK BOX: CLOSED I love this guys!!! I also love astrology so you will find a little bit of it in here 😉✨ Ikemen Sengoku and Ikemen vampire blog Aesthetics And a little bit of everything. My OC is Sayaka Shika ! Other accounts : @twonderland
so apparently there's an alive ikevamp fandom on tumblr??? how am i only finding out about this now. me 7 years ago would be fanboying on here so hard every possible second about le comte my husband for eternity
also screenshots for context; this is from comte's route chapter 23 so beware of spoilers:
I'm very happy with this font for the title. It's light and sharp. I added shining stars and a bird-like symbol at the top. I like how it looks. And I'm surprised how well I managed to delete the vertical text. Just don't look at the leaves (flowers?) too closely.
I'm so... annoyed about Shingen's line. And here's the problem. 君のその美しい瞳に一見つめられるだけで — "just one glance from your beautiful eyes." I don't know English well enough, but I don't like the idea of making "eyes" a noun that performs an action. It's she (Mai) looking at him, not her beautiful eyes. I don't know why this part made me so angry, since it's not a big deal. But it was important to me for some reason. So I split the sentence into two.
Moto... he used pretty normal お前が一番わかってん "you know better than anyone", but quite crude くたばる "die like a dog / kick the bucket". I misplaced the terms for better sound. I think our dear pirate is pretty recognizable with that phrasing.
The worst... Kanetsugu. Really the worst. My head hurts. He said 責め苦を身に刻んでやる — literally "carve a torment into your body". I thought he meant literal, so I tried a shorten this thread and a full one, and they all sounded so damn weird. Until I finally figured out it's an aphorism — meaning to give such a warning that the person will never forget. Something like "carve into flesh so it'll stay in your heart." So I went from the idea of making him remember the lesson, and it transformed into "I will carve your folly into your flesh." It seems very far from the original if translated literally, but the meaning is the same.
I think too much? I'm aware.
No @Cybird again... and you know... I won't fix that. If they think it's not necessary, why would I care?
I used the second picture from X/Twitter, and in the last comment there were other names... like Mitsuhide, Kicho, and such. I was rather confused. Those characters aren't in this event. So I checked, and in the in-game announcement they already fixed that.
I'm... I'm probably asking too much from them... Maybe they'll start taking their job seriously already? Or is it someone's part-time job???
This isn’t an official translation. There may be typos or errors.
Mai: Also, I’d love to see you all doing sports you don’t normally do.
Everyone: ……
(I honestly think the idea of bonding through a sports festival is really good.)
(But what do they think…?)
I watched them anxiously, trying to gauge how everyone would react.
Mitsuhide: For now, how about we at least hear the proposal?
Ieyasu: …Yeah, fair enough. It’s not like we lose anything by listening.
Motonari: If it turns out to be stupid, I’m heading home.
(Did they… actually get interested in the sports festival?)
Sasuke: Then let’s get right to it. A sports festival is a tradition from Mai’s and my homeland, and…
Sasuke: It’s an event where teams are split up to compete in various games, all aiming for first place.
Sasuke: At the same time, it builds teamwork and unity, and lets you experience the thrill of taking on challenges and achieving something.
Mai: You run, you use equipment… basically, you compete in all kinds of activities.
I gave a brief explanation of the typical sports festival events, like footraces, beanbag tosses, and tug-of-war.
Yukimura: Competing with just your own strength, without swords or spears… that might actually feel kinda fresh.
Ranmaru: Yeah, yeah, that sounds kinda fun!
Hisahide: It might at least make for a decent story to bring back to Yoshiteru-sama.
Motonari: Better than sitting in a room kneeling with a bunch of stuck-up types, I guess. Might actually keep me from getting bored.
(It’s not like they’re super eager, but they do seem a bit more positive about it.)
Seeing their reactions, Sasuke and I exchanged a look and nodded at each other.
Sasuke: Then it’s settled.
Sasuke: From here on, we’ll hold a sports festival—each army competing against the others.
(Wow…!)
With Sasuke-kun’s declaration, I felt my heart leap with excitement.
Mai: We did it, Sasuke-kun.
Sasuke: Yeah. Getting to see warlords from the Sengoku era do a sports festival… this might actually be a historic day.
Mitsuhide: So “each army” means it’ll be four groups—Oda, Uesugi–Takeda, Bakufu, and the Ranmaru–Motonari team.
Motonari: Huh? And why the hell am I stuck on the same team as this guy?
Ranmaru: Yeah, seriously! Don’t just decide that on your own!
Yukimura: The other teams have two people each, so there’s no helping it. Just get along, alright?
Hisahide: Saizo, let’s do our best. As representatives of the Bakufu, let’s show them our class.
Saizo: Ugh… what if I drag us down? I’ll have no choice but to… apologize with my life…
Saizo: No, wait… I’m lower than a worm, so even if I die it might not be enough of an apology… aahh…!
Mai: Saizo-kun, you don’t have to take it that seriously! We’re doing this to get closer, remember?
Yukimura: Still, since we’ve got opponents, we can’t afford to lose.
Ieyasu: I’m pretty sure everyone’s thinking the same thing.
Motonari: Hey, Ranmaru. Don’t you dare drag us down.
Ranmaru: I’ll return those words right back at you.
Mitsuhide: By the way, what events do you intend for us to compete in?
Mitsuhide: Come to think of it, we also need time to prepare the events, and we should decide who will participate in which ones.
Sasuke: Leave that to me.
Sasuke: I’ll get everything ready now, so meet at the nearby field in one hour.
An hour later, we gathered at the field not far from the inn.
Sasuke: We’ll have five events in total. One will be for everyone, and the remaining four will have one representative from each faction.
Sasuke: Each person will participate in three events.
Mai: I prepared lots to draw, so let’s decide who’s competing in what.
One by one, we drew lots and decided which event each of us would enter.
Sasuke: And now—let the First Sengoku Warlords Autumn Sports Festival begin.
Sasuke: Oath of the athletes… Representing everyone here, the ones chosen by lot—Motonari-san and Mitsuhide-san—please share your spirit.
Motonari: What a pain.
Mitsuhide: So I just read this, correct?
Sasuke: Yes. If you could, raise one hand and speak loudly. That’s the proper way to make an oath.
Motonari: Can I go home?
Mai: Motonari-san, you’ll be fine as long as you just read what’s written on the paper.
Motonari: …Tch. Just this once.
The two of them unfolded the paper Sasuke-kun handed over and raised one hand lightly.
Mitsuhide & Motonari: Oath.
Mitsuhide & Motonari: We athletes, in accordance with “sportsmanship,”
Mitsuhide & Motonari: swear to compete honorably and fight to the very end.
Ieyasu: …Is there anyone less suited to saying “honorably” than these two?
Hisahide: Both of them look suspiciously unconvincing.
Mitsuhide: I’ll take that as a compliment.
Yukimura: How is that a compliment? There wasn’t a single part of that that was praise.
Motonari: And don’t lump me together with that guy.
Saizo: Um… what exactly is “sportsmanship”…?
Sasuke: Ah, that means—
Saizo: Ah! Don’t tell me I’m the only one who doesn’t know, and it’s actually some universal common knowledge everyone else just naturally understands…!?
Ranmaru: Nah, I think nobody knows what it means.
Hisahide: Sasuke uses amusing words from time to time.
The tense atmosphere from earlier softened just a little with that exchange, and my heart fluttered alone.
(I can’t wait to see what kind of sports festival this turns into…!)
Sorry if the translations are a little janky~ please reach out if you would like to help me translate! (There’s some really cool text heavy material I really want to upload!)
