The problem being raised in a bilingual/trilingual household is often times, you use words that you thought is right and is greeted with confused faces before realizing it's not in the right language. Then you have to try and remember what is that word in the language you are speaking but can't seem to recall it.

Hajime’s Sleeping Face Collection - Irregular Fortune

I’m sorry it took so long to get these done but as you all know, I had some issues to settle in real life. Thankfully, they’re mostly settled so I should get back into translating soon~ 

Also, I can’t wait for my copy of Taikyoku Denki to come soon, it should be here in a week~ Ahhh, I’m really looking forward to watching it since I’ve seen so many screenshots and talks about how good it is  ( ；∀；)

Procella meant to say Haru-san in section 8, but because they were so touched, it came out as ‘Baru-san’ which is an insect killer xD

If you like my work, then please consider supported me by buying me a coffee. Thank you~

Body Language Cheat Sheet for Writers

As described by Selnick’s article:

Author and doctor of clinical psychology Carolyn Kaufman has released a one-page body language cheat sheet of psychological “tells” (PDF link) fiction writers can use to dress their characters.

[lunarmoment]

Because I realize all my characters do is look at each other and have their eyebrows shoot up. Sometimes they even lower their eyebrows too!

[anorable]

romance novel or shounen manga?

“you are light. sometimes you shine so brightly i have to look away.”

“you’ve got it backwards. i’m the one who’s grateful, for meeting you.”

“i’m glad that i met you.”

“i can’t lose him! i can’t lose him! he’s–”

“from now on, let’s stick together. it’ll be fun!”

“please, please help. help him. i can’t do anything.”

“i’ve been with you ever since. and i don’t want that to change.”

“i’ll do whatever i can to protect you.”

“but even so, is it alright if i stay by your side?”

“in my next life, i want to be me, and meet you again.”

[sincerelysamedt]

It’s both.

How old are the Arcobaleno?

Canon wise, they have been Arcobaleno for around 20 years, right? Luce is pregnant (in anime) or just giving birth (I refuse to think about the complication of Cursed!Luce giving birth, don't you point me on Verde and Mist Flame, shh). By the TYL time, Aria is in her... late 20s-early 30s?? And Uni is baby.

If we considered the 7/8 of them as best in their fields and some on the younger side, they all must be at least in early 20s to 30s before the Fated Day, right? Even if we hedged the number down a little for Shonen trope standard, shouldn't they be around 40/50s? Now I know why the author was always vague about the numbers @_@

[movedtoanothercorner]

That’s actually a tricky question. Others have used their height to determined their ages because a full length adult that reached their growing height is around 20-25 but then we also have to consider their race and as you observed their professional(s) as well.

Some people think that Colonello is younger than Lal due to their ranks but Lal is prodigy in the military ranks (basing this on observations that Checkerface choose people who are prodigies in different fields) but that might not be the case.

People think Fon is around his mid-twenties since he’s not only a master and a prodigy but also due to his hair which is waist-length when it’s braided which takes years for a person to grow.

Verde might the oldest out of the group because he has a stubble on his chin but it might because he doesn’t care much about appearance as other people.

People think Skull is the youngest of the group since being a stuntman is a professional job that most not take after their mid-25 (at that time before their curse forms).

Here’s my take on whom is the youngest to oldest (take in mind that it can change or people will have either slight similar or different take).

Youngest to Oldest: Skull, Viper, Lal Mirch, Colonello, Luce, Fon, Reborn, Verde

20′s to Mid 20′s: Skull, Viper

Mid 20′s to 30′s:  Lal Mirch, Colonello, Luce

30′s to Mid 30′s: Fon, Reborn, Verde

This way we can at least two people from different age groups. And you can headcanon that Checkerface might also done this to make it seem less suspicious if people have to happened to have the same age range.

Be free to add your two-cents or change it.

Ooo thank you for the input!

Still, he went to an isolated place and summoned his Flame as big as he could, “Checkerface!”

There was a rush of Mist Flame and in a blink he was in the familiar old fashioned realtor office.

The bastard looked like he ever was, awe colored his face, “Former Arcobaleno Skull, what a surprise!”

[kay-yuuki]

I feel like the more I write this fic, the more I give my self a kink...

[kay-yuuki]

Sometimes, I hate that I can get so obsessed with something that I get tunnel vision while other times I am apathetic to the point I don't really care what is going to happen.
