Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖

If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you

Khun ran essay pls 😭

The masses yearn and THUS I SHALL DELIVER!!! TYSM FOR THE ASK!

spoilers for those who have not read up to the name station arc!!!

Khun Ran oh Khun Ran… how I do adore you. Khun Ran to me is a character a lot of people have the capacity to misunderstand because he really doesn’t have much content at all, but what there IS of him to me tells a lot more than some fans think.

He is a boy who takes after his sister after all, and not just a half sister like the majority of the family, Khun Maschenny is in fact his full sister. She reflects in not only his attitude but his fighting style as well. BUT this essay is mainly going to revolve around his morals and the way I personally perceive them based on an OLD POST. Whoever you are anon I hope you enjoy this.

Khun Ran is someone who values power, not in the superficial way someone like White may value it though. He doesn’t hold himself above others, now you may think “grem he talks down to opponents all the time” and this is true! But there is a difference between his words and his actions, when have you EVER known Khun Ran to pull his punches? 

He doesn’t underestimate people, he didn’t do it when he was with Khun’s team, he didn’t do it in the workshop, and he didn’t do it in the hell train. He can be prideful, in a way that has cost him before and will cost him again. No matter how strong he is he’s still quite young. Being thrust into the tower at such a young age has likely had unforeseen consequences on how he views interpersonal relationships.

Fighting, killing, winning, is all that really matters in the tower. Teammates are important, but you don’t necessarily need them if you’re strong enough. He constantly goes out on his own, takes fights all by himself, because he doesn’t have the luxury of being able to lose. His entire life is defined by battle. Fast and efficient is how he operates, if that means running ahead to take the kill he will do just that.

He respects his team even if he doesn’t show it, because he sees their power and trusts it, this is especially evident when he speaks to Dann when they first teamed together. “He’s bad at everything, except being fast.” He struggles to show appreciation but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

He adapts to them whether they realize or not. He’s a spear bearer, but I think it’s significant he was introduced as a fisherman. A role he took on because that was what Khun Aguero needed from him. He respects and holds some affection for Aguero enough to have a nickname for him. Would he ever acknowledge its affection? Absolutely not what family to you think this is? This is the Khun family all they know is emotionally repress, eat yogurt, and lie. 

Novick regards Ran switching positions as “getting serious” which I think is true to an extent. I think it’s a mixture of the two values he has, one being end things quickly, the other being support your team. He’s been regarded as a prodigy, entering the tower young and being the clear strongest on his team. But that’s not to say he hasn’t lost, he knows well he needs his team because nobody can cover every angle. 

That comes more to the hell train arc. While his loss(?) with Anaak is significant, it’s not what I would focus on in terms of his attitude towards teamwork. He took on the guardian to spare his team the burden of wasting their strength when he thought he could handle it, to give them all a chance at moving forward faster. Not for them but also for Aguero. He’s still a boy after all, and it’s clear he looks up to him in ways we haven’t fully seen because he would never let anyone fully see that. 

He vows to himself that he will grow, so he never needs to shamefully turn away from a fight again. He’s prideful, arrogant to some degree, but he is not stupid. People need to earn his respect with their power, if you can’t then why should he spare a thought on you? You won’t make it up the tower anyways. He shouldn’t invest in someone who’s going to be a burden in the end. A thought process only natural to someone whose existence has primarily been in the tower itself.

Now speaking on his value of power, I believe that that mentality is exactly why he doesn’t truly care for his family. He cares for Aguero in some way, wanting his acknowledgment, and dare I say feeling comfortable with him. He holds some feelings for Maschenny, even if we can’t definitively say it’s affection, he takes her words to heart. He values her input and advice just as he values her fighting style.

He says so himself, he doesn’t value his name, but there are layers to that kind of claim. He values the power he’s able to have from his name, he values some people who hold the same name, but he also values people whose names aren’t his own. A name isn’t everything. Khun Eduan isn’t known for being the most… attentive father, but that doesn’t mean their family name holds no value objectively.

The Khun family is one of the ten great families, with a direct line as well you’re bound to have some attention and even garner special favors if you play it right. But Ran doesn’t care about that, why would you value something as basic as a name over who they are as a person? He’s not using someone for their power if they’ve entrusted it to him and his team. He doesn’t see someone for a simple family name but rather what they offer as a whole. 

He’s all or nothing. In every aspect of his life Khun Ran is all or nothing. He will give you his power, he will give you his loyalty, he will give you his all in a fight he knows he can win. Or he will give you nothing, not even a sparing glance. You need to earn every part of his personality, he’s not cold or calculating with it he simply cannot be bothered wasting time on something that will not benefit him. His existence is defined by the tower and his own actions. And honestly that mentality is what makes him so dangerous, not the fact he’s a prodigy.

Thank you for the ask anon I absolutely adored making this for you and I love sharing how I interpret our favorite gremlin boy!!! Ty for anyone reading!!!!!

Dragon Raja & Dragon King - All Novels in English

Hello, as some of you might have noticed in the pinned post, all the novels were recently added in English:

Reading order:

First, start with the Dragon Raja series:

1 - Dragon Raja I - The Blazing Dawn Adapted in season 1 of the animated show.

2 - Dragon Raja II - The Mourner's Eyes Adapted in season 2 of the animated show, currently airing.

3 - Dragon Raja III - Black Moon Tide (Beginning) 4 - Dragon Raja III - Black Moon Tide (Middle) 5 - Dragon Raja III - Black Moon Tide (End) This story arc will be adapted in season 3 of the animated series (it could potentially require more seasons due to its length)

Once you've finished, continue with the sequel series Dragon King:

6 - Dragon King 1 - World Reset 4th story arc and the latest book in the franchise, set two years after Dragon Raja III.

"Keep reading" for a small Q&A

Are these official?

There is no official translation of the novels. The fan translation was achieved by different means:

Starting on 2021, I translated the books with google and adjusted/fixed inaccuracies as I read them. I posted some of these for a while, they were legible but lacked personality, often made mistakes and felt robotic. Many other members of the community helped to improve them.

In 2024, ChatGPT proved to be a very decent translator, since it recognized intention and felt more natural, but it can be unreliable at times.

I redacted a huge instruction set on how to translate each name, term and franchise-specific words, even explained some concepts to it and the bot employed them all properly! I ran each novel through it page by page, fixed any error that I noticed and when in doubt, I'd compare it to the google versions.

Still, these books were very long and errors still slipped in, like repeated pages (I'd screw up the copy/paste process sometimes) or a character having the wrong name. Readers have been very helpful in the past year by reporting any errors that they found and the books are much more polished now.

Are these the canon versions?

Sort of... Since I had no access to the Revised Editions, the original volumes were used instead. I eventually came across pictures of the paragraphs that were changed in the new versions and used them to update the translations. Anything relevant like modified dates, new lore and character moments is present in the translation.

Dragon King is 100% canon.

Why is Dragon Raja III three-books-long?

Dragon Raja was originally a serialized story that was later compiled into novels. While the first two arcs fitted nicely into individual books, Dragon Raja III ended up much longer than expected and had to be printed in three separate volumes.

Is Dragon King a reset/reboot?

Nope, it's a continuation of Dragon Raja, we're still waiting for Dragon King 2 to come out in China.

Putting this here because it's important to me:

“He was just here for a week and stayed at my place. It’s really enlightening about the culture of how men and man-on-man affection is received because you don’t see that a lot. It’s taboo for men to be friends and grab each other a certain way or hold hands. And me and Hudson being in such a sexual circumstance with one another, it’s really interesting to watch people sexualize our very amicable signs of affection. That just shows where the culture is still at in a way like, ‘Oh, these two men…’ Just because we’re really comfortable with each other and we love each other, we’ve been through the craziest experience together, we’re on this crazy rollercoaster together, if I have my hand on his leg as we’re sitting down doing a press thing because he’s my best buddy and I love him, and we have that level of comfort. It’s just interesting that that instantly gets turned into, ‘They’re more than friends.’” (Variety)
