hi, I just found your blog (crazy enough through official citation on the deltarune wiki??) and I wanted to ask about a couple scenes since I'm trying to do character analysis but don't know japanese nearly well enough to do so (I hope you're okay with people asking, I'm not sure if you still answer these)

mainly, I wanted to ask if there was anything that stood out in two scenes: the scene where tenna and spamton reunite and tenna doesn't recognize him (ie how spamton addresses tenna, vice versa, if the text shows tenna does recognize him and is just lying, how tenna refers to the pipis, basically anything that isn't conveyed in the english text), and I was also curious about the dialogue in the manhole dungeon on the secret board 3 where tenna talks about spamton? like specific verbiage and anything unique

if you take your time to answer this, thank you very much and I appreciate it a lot!! I've been struggling to find people doing genuine analysis of the japanese text of dr (and some of the translations you did do actually are making me think a lot)

(JP translations + transcriptions in Alt Text)

Something major that stands out about how Spamton addresses Tenna here is that he uses casual speech instead of keigo (honorific speech). For reference, Spamton generally speaks with the formality levels of a salesman, so pretty much every line Spamton says throughout the game is always in keigo. The fact that he breaks out of his persona here to address Tenna really emphasizes that he sees Tenna as someone who is an equal to him, and not just a potential customer.

His last line here is also interesting. He trails off, and because of how Japanese word order works, we don't know the specific verb he was going to say, but the no koto implies that it would describe how Tenna feels about Spamton emotionally. The English version of this scene of course uses the verb "care," so we could assume that that is also what Spamton would have said here, but the choice to leave it unsaid can also allow for other interpretations.

Instead of saying variations of "mamma mia," in Japanese Tenna repeats variations of "why," "how," "wait," and "it can't be," so it definitely gives a stronger impression that Tenna might in fact recognize Spamton here!

Once Tenna asks what Spamton is and appears to not recognize him, however...

...Spamton switches back into keigo, addressing Tenna as he would a stranger.

Tenna refers to the Pipis in pretty much the same way as he does in the English version, with one added detail. When expressing a number of something, Japanese uses grammatical particles known as counters, which correspond to the noun being counted based on the nature of the noun and often details like its shape. For example, if you're counting people, flat objects, and round objects, you would add a different counter to the number in each case.

Here, when Tenna says that he kept "one Pipis," he uses the counter 匹(hiki), which is the counter used when referring to small animals. This explicitly confirms that the Pipis is a living creature, or at the very least that Tenna believes that it is.

Something that stands out about how Tenna talks about Spamton in the manhole dungeon is that he directly quotes Spamton in this line. Spamton here again uses casual speech instead of keigo, and it's interesting that Tenna specifically remembers Spamton telling him to wait for him while he went to answer the phone. Whether you believe Spamton was being genuine or deceiving Tenna here, telling him to wait gives the implication that he was going to come right back after he took the phone call.

[dellerose]

oh my god. somehow, it's even worse than in the english! spamton trailing off about how tenna does feel a certain way... tenna what, spamton?

there's so much to unpack here. I was wondering if the casual speech could've been a matter of rudeness, but hearing from a proper translator it emphasizes they're equals says a lot! not second in command or lackey or employee to tenna. equals. and not some sucker to scam to spamton, equals. oh my god I'm gonna be thinking about this all week

another point to maybe recognizing spamton, or maybe being just THAT freaked out...

ADDRESSING TENNA LIKE A STRANGER OUGHHHHHHHH oh that makes the "never doing that again" line hurt so much more oh my god

so tenna is aware the pipis is alive... huh! oh my god

and directly quoting spamton, that's the craziest part for a few reasons cause it means several things

it indicates he did used to always speak normally and not with bracket text before whatever transformed him

he seems unafraid of the phone, or unaware of what's about to happen. like he had no idea that he was in danger of being cut off.

he said implicitly he was gonna come back to tenna... oh my god...........

thank you so much. I'm not gonna be normal about this for a while. I didn't know the jp translation could somehow be worse about those two!

There was a G5 panel at Everfree Northwest!

Titled "MLP G5: The Lore, the Lies, and the Legacy", it serves to dispel misinformation regarding G5 and to clearly lay out how G5 was created and ended prematurely by Hasbro. It was compiled with the help of reliable sources in the fandom.

This post will only contain a bit of somewhat newer information that was shared. We highly suggest you read the panel's slide deck and Google doc for much more details. All the credit goes to everyone who worked on it.

Two major factors the panel pointed out that hurt G5 were CEO Chris Cocks and, brand manager at the time, Kat Maher-Smith. G5 was originally planned for an older audience but the target audience was soon changed to pre-school and elementary aged girls. This caused certain problems like G5 getting brushed aside as it was deemed "just for kids" all while focus shifted to G4 for its nostalgia factor.

As this occurred, many things were eventually cancelled, such as both G5 shows and even lots of toys. Boardtrot, Scout Kindheart, a Crystal Brighthouse playset, Opaline (possibly the one we saw at SDCC 2023), and Cutie Mark Club all didn't get released.

Pictured above and below are some mockups of presumably the Style of the Day toys from 2023. As you can see, new fully articulated bodies with joints were planned, but they were ultimately simplified in the final products.

Also speaking of Cutie Mark Club, as we already know, it was planned to be G5's Equestria Girls. Apparently it was supposed to get three seasons before it was cancelled according to the panel.

Again, we highly suggest reading the docs linked above if you'd like to read more about G5 in depth. Big thanks to everyone who worked on the panel.

Dudes shouldn't have to prove themselves by having spartan greyscale homes with dollar store rubber shower curtains and a mattress on the floor. Do you know what life is like with linen

[teaboot]

Being a dude raised with a certain level of socially enforced traditional femininity has imbued my ass with great wisdom and powers

Sleeping naked is fine but pajamas protect your sheets better from your body's natural sweat and oil and dead skin and junk so if you wear clean jimjams to bed your skin won't break out as bad and your sheets will stay cleaner longer

On the topic of sheets, dirty bedsheets don't ventilate as well as clean bedsheets so washing them regularly (once every 1-2 weeks) will keep you warmer in the cold season and cooler in the hot season

If you can get your hands on linen sheets- new, second-hand, pass-down, whatever- they're incredibly sturdy, get softer and softer over time, and will last longer than your lifetime. They also wick sweat so you don't wake up wet if you're a night-sweat guy and are, again, pretty great for your skin

Getting a proper bedframe extends the life of your mattress, will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, offers additional storage space, and is easier on your back.

A boxspring under your mattress will make it softer, too

You can get mattress protectors that zip over your mattress to keep it clean and bedbug-resistant, too

Your entire house will feel bougie and cozier if it smells good. Consider a reed infuser, or a plug-in wax melt. Trust me on this it turns a shitty studio apartment into a 4/5 hotel

Stick some plants around. If you can't sustain them, get fake ones. New ones are kind of expensive at home decor places but dollar stores and thrift shops have some pretty decent options usually. The human brain responds well to seeing plants around, you get depressed without plants. Stick one in your bathroom for that ritzy feel

I know you're tempted to go all black but dark colours will make your spaces feel smaller and bleak. Again, try thrifting a shower curtain in an interesting pattern, it brightens shit up

Wash your face. You don't have to do anything crazy you can just scrub some water on with your hands if you want but it feels really really good.

Keep DIFFERENT SHOWER SCRUBERS for your FACE and your ASS this one is NOT OPTIONAL I will fucking find you

Three in one shampoos are fine but it's just shampoo mixed with conditioner. Having shampoo and conditioner separate lets your hair get moisturized before the final rinse and your hair will feel silkier. Scrub your scalp a lil too bro you get sweaty during the day. Shampoo for the whole head, when conditioning focus on the ends and let it sit a sec.

You don't HAVE to do a bunch of fashion research but in general sticking to clothes you Like The look Of, not just "whatever was on sale at target", and spending some time planning out your appearance will make you feel better about yourself.

What haircuts look best for your face shape? What glasses make your cheekbones stand out, or make your head look taller, or whatever? What are your options for facial hair? What's your body shape, and how do you estimate flatter it? You don't gotta, but it's fun. It can be so so fun

If you can see your veins, green means warmer skin tones and blue means cooler skin tones. This can help determine what colours look best on you. Your skin may also come off as cooler or warmer-toned in neutral light, too, if you can't shortcut

Stop buying white light bulbs for your house. It feels cold and depressing and washes you out so when you look in the mirror you feel sick. Stop it. Get warm-tone or yellow lights and feel warm and cozy. I want this for you

There's nothing illegal about using a lil concealer if you wanna cover up discolored spots.

Skin products with salicylic acid kill off zits and junk. Like not 100% but definitely a game changer

Nobody in the world has naturally bleach-white teeth, that's a marketing lie, but you DO still have to brush regularly and toothpaste comes in a bunch of flavors now not just nasty mint. I personally am fond of strawberry

This was a post for dudes but it's actually for everybody now so if you weren't raised with girl rules have at er

Tier List

S Tier: Green Line - High up and long circular motions are the sauce. Absolute banger.

A Tier: Blue Line - Nothing special in terms of line structure, but the texture on the beads are what make this one so great

B Tier: Yellow Line - The Right Angled motions are honestly mesmerizing

C Tier: Orange Line - The Vertical Up and Down motions can be fun but it just comes across as clunky

F Tier: Red Line - What are you even doing

[bananonbinary]

are you fucking kidding me the red line beads are a FAR more compelling texture than the blue line. “oh but the red line is booring.” the appeal is in how it interacts with and highlights the other lines you philistine. without the red line there’s no cohesion at all. read a book.

[nfirr]

Literally hop off. Red doesn’t even use gravity as an element in the main route. Orange is one of the only three lines (with green and yellow) to actually use gravity to add complexity to the route, and is honestly an underrated pick. Have fun playing “push left” simulator with red. Idiot.
