Friendly reminder:
Shitting on something I enjoy/ find interesting in response to my expressing that I enjoy it will receive no response but a block. Such behavior is *never* done in any kind of good faith, so my policy here is zero tolerance.
Here is a direct translation of an FFXVI scene at Origin I have no small number of grievances with in its English localization, as it sends a very...cruel...message about whether a person's suffering is valid. The localization and the direct translation are both shown. (Credit is in the screenshot.)
The result is radically different on a philosophical level. The original JP intent was clearly to send a message about overcoming dire human weakness through unity, whereas the EN localization goes completely off the rails with what feels like nothing but chest-pounding toxic positivity. It also contradicts several elements of what the story has clearly shown to the contrary--Ultima did suffer, horribly and for ages, but handled it poorly when unexpected complications arose in his designs for survival.
In a way, I'm relieved. I don't have to be particularly angry with Clive as a character anymore, because the English version fails to preserve authorial intent for this part. Maehiro did nothing wrong. Some dumbfucks at SE NA need to pry their heads out of their asses, though. Strength through unity is not an inaccessible message to a western audience, and we sure as hell don't need absolutist chest-pounding brutality in our good guys.
^Do not do this please. I am a US person myself. Shit absolutely SUCKS in my country right now, and is a major contributor to my own depressed inability to keep up in fandom spaces. If what I said seemed a little too possessed of common sense to be from the US, consider the possibility that xenophobia is wrong no matter where you point it.
Toxic positivity is indeed a problem in corporate-led storytelling such as what we get out of SE NA, which typically leads to a lot of bitching amongst US FF fans. In spite of everything else going on, I can assure you that there is a fairly robust mental health community on this side of the pond, so to speak, and toxic positivity is generally condemned.
Hi I am obsessed /vpos with The Tower (your fic?) thank you so much for writing it. Recently started shipping Clive/Ultima unironically and they need to do each other already — if you have any further thoughts on the matter :-) there are also my several ulti rarepairs but eh
Hello. I have many, many, MANY more thoughts on the matter, which I hope to apply to fic in the future.
Unfortunately, I am wickedly burnt out at the moment, so I've reduced my social media/ fandom activity substantially for my own health.
Thank you for the kind comment, though. I appreciate it. 😃

Clive vs Ultima
My commissioner wanted two spirites Clive Rosefield and Ultima. 💖 We both searched for good references for Ultima because that was the most difficult to find. 😊
To be honest I had to do some research for this one, I don't own a ps5 and I haven't played Final Fantasy XVI. 🤭

"Come to me, Ifrit..."
I can't even begin to explain how involved this was, but damn if I'm not proud of how it turned out - particularly Ifrit. For someone who doesn't draw creatures very often, I may have found my new thing.

remember when you’re writing a gross and terrible power dynamic that you should be asking yourself constantly how you could make it worse and sexier
Have you ever pulled an all-nighter (midnight to 6am) playing a game?

would he fucking say that? let's investigate.
update: i investigated a little too hard. this oneshot is now 6.3k words long
And when the spiraling storms of scarlet and cerulean coincide, then shall your suffering cease.
Whenever an artist who makes dark content gets outed as a sexual predator people will be like 'aha it was obvious something was up because their work was so dark and nasty' and whenever an artist who makes wholesome content gets outed as a sexual predator people will be like 'aha it was obvious something was up because their work was so aggressively wholesome' and it's like you know I think maybe you can't tell whether or not someone is a predator based on their artistic output.
