oh my god i miss this website. cannot believe work has me so busy that i only have time to click in every two days, like or reblog one (1) fucking post from the first fifty i see, then leave. i yearn to have the time and energy to do my own stupid bullshit again

#perhaps this massive headache i've had for the past week is just all my backlogged thoughts clogging up my brainpipes or something #deathnotaboutly

whenever i start doing translations again i get so wrapped up in questions of convention... i think on the whole the trend has become to sacrifice tone, vibe, style, etc., in favor of communicating content, possibly due to crunch (you can't really care about this stuff if you're doing it on the most aggressive deadlines, and sometimes to capture a piece's spirit you have to get a little weird with form and content in the target language, which doesn't sell). but trends with localization seem to be going in the complete opposite direction, at least for the cases with which i'm familiar -- just the wholesale rewriting or omission of things that a translation team has decided their audience wouldn't like. i'd really like to peek into those rooms and see how they make such decisions.

#deathnotaboutly #and you know what #self-indulgences #for the record i am a bit of a localization purist; i really don't think almost anything from a work should be removed or adapted #partially because i find it patronizing and paternalistic that someone else is making decisions about what you should be exposed to #and partially because in some cases you deprive your audience of the opportunity to learn something new or to immerse themselves in a #different world on the pretext of wanting them to feel a bit more familiar with -- and a bit less challenged by -- the media they're #consuming. because it really is all about consuming now isn't it 🫠

i have been crying intermittently for over 24 hours at this point when not asleep or otherwise distracted, i fucking love my job 👍 (⚰️)

#the part of my job that gave me any sense of real meaning or purpose has effectively ended... i think i may have made a grave mistake #not addressing my other issues with it at all or very effectively for the past two years #oh well. whenever the fuck i'm done crying i'll try to make it more bearable #deathnotaboutly #i can have a little oversharing. as a treat

hello tumblr dot com, status update: i'm alive and well but when not at or doing work have become absolutely c o n s u m e d by fire emblems engage and radiance. i'll be back

just finished my third full playthrough of omori and ohhhh my god i am so the opposite of normal about this game. most perfect chef's kiss literary-poetic experience on a console that i have ever encountered. when i have the juice to write about it..............................

#omori #deathnotaboutly #finally skimmed some of the wiki too and i am like ?? lmao at its lack of ambiguity in describing some of the things that happen #anyway. it's been awhile since i've been this obsessed with something that isn't death note or [airhorn noises]#it's nice :')

frankly embarrassing that taylor swift beat out luna shadows... that's "spirit" by the killers, jsyk 🤪 anyway, shameless plug for nilüfer yanya (🎶the dealer, 🎶chase me, 🎶anotherlife) and the beautiful kororon MV

love how this article i'm reading went out of its way to specify that "fanfiction written by teenagers" is nonliterary. on what grounds, my dudes? is it that it's written by teenagers? does that make fanfiction written by adults literary? (how does this qualification not strike you as totally arbitrary once it's laid out like this?) is it that fanfiction isn't strictly speaking an original work? boy, do i have news about some of your most beloved texts from the so-called canon if so! etc. deep sigh.
