their faces 🤣 lowkey valid reaction to this tho

[finalfantasyx]

Teeth brushing random thoughts with Claire:

If 瑾仙 (Jin Xian) is translated as the Jade Deity, what the hell does that make the other eunuchs???

瑾 = brilliance/shine (think gemstones)

So if anything, he should have been called Shiny Deity (仙 is actually closer translated to Fairy, but I guess going with the other types of deities in this universe it makes sense) instead. Also, where tf did "Jade" even come from?? It's not even part of his name!

瑾玉 (Jin Yu): Shiny Jade

瑾宣 (Jin Xian): Shiny Message

瑾言 (Jin Yan): Shiny Word(s)

瑾威 (Jin Wei): Shiny Cool (like, awesome cool, not cold cool)

Also also, question 2, why is Jin Xian the only one who got a literal translation as his name???

Of course this just has to do with the meh levels of translation of whoever did it, but it struck me as I was brushing my teeth and I just kept giggling at the thought of someone being called "Shiny Jade" because of shit translations lol

Burnt out and lonely, Tendo Choi laments his once-thriving social life and longs to revive it. Which leads him to a brilliant idea: why not blend his work life and social life?

…

It really had been a good idea, once. But now? He may or may not have some regrets.

(For the @edgeofhopezine, featuring everyone's favourite dandy CTO and the harrowing (mis)adventures of his Shatterdome social life.)

Even though it’s been eight years, Pacific Rim still lives rent free in my head.

But the majority of the fandom, myself included, knows that it’s not the perfect science fiction movie to dominate all science fiction movies.

So here are a few suggestions I have at the top of my head to make this glorious mess even better:

- GETTING RID OF THE G-SLUR IN THE NAME OF LADY DANGER, like c’mon Guillermo, it’s not that difficult

- Having a female K-scientist, and having her replace Charlie Day. He’s a gift but PR significantly lacks women in the cast and I feel that a messy kaiju-groupie-esque woman would be the better choice when replacing either of those male characters. Women are hardly allowed to be messy.

- In general we need more women/non-male characters. Are there female J-Techs? I don’t know but if yes I doubt that there are many. Another male character I think who could be replaced (more easily than others) is Tendo Choi. They should keep the rockabilly attitude though.

- Maybe add an extra Jaeger to make room for at least another female pilot. Give me a South American team! Peruvians perhaps or Chilean (There are surprisingly [to me, a European] not many South American countries bordering the pacific).

- I would also like to see more non-white characters. PR has a Japanese woman and a black man in the leading trio but there are still a lot white dudes in the more important roles. They are nice white dudes, but they’re white nonetheless.

As I said, these are just the things that come to my mind right now. Please feel free to add your ideas!

EDIT (19.12.21)

Several of you lovelies have given me lots of ideas and improvements of my own suggestions. Here are they:

@jedi-whovian24601 said: Maybe we can add a female/non-male k-scientist instead of removing Charlie Day? Herman’s physics/maths and Newt’s mostly bio so the new k-scientist can be chem (which is also a messy science. Image the explosions they can cause)

@bae-science pointed me towards a very interesting presentation

@milfbailorgana opened my eyes to my own white privilege: Bestie said pac rim should have more non white characters and said we should change Tendo Choi— one of pac rim’s only poc— in the same post

You're right and you should say it. Instead of replacing Tendo we could let him work in tandem with a woman, maybe even his wife Alison. We don't know much about her, only that she worked in munitions in Anchorage, so let me headcanon that she retrained and now they handle the operations together. Alison could also be BIPoC. As for their son, there might already be some sort of kindergarten for Shatterdome employees in canon.

The Legend of the Sacred Crystal Orb

This is the Sacred Crystal Orb. The Gan Jin tribe used it in their yearly redemption ritual to purify their connection to the spirits. This involved carrying it from the Eastern gate of their land to the Western gate, to symbolize the rising and setting of the sun. The light of the sun would shine through the a hole atop the gate and on to the orb.

The sacred crystal orb was, in actuality, a conduit of spiritual energy, able to both absorb and unleash it and empower those who were spiritually attuned. Every year, it gathered more power from the sun. The redemption ritual itself has changed greatly over the many generations it has been in human hands.

The Gan Jin carry out the ritual out of tradition, but long ago, it was used to cure those who had been corrupted by spirit possession. Those who had been mutated by a spirit passing through them could be purified by carrying the orb and allowing it to absorb the corruption, thereby curing them.

However, the ritual goes back ever further, before even the time of Avatar Wan and the Lion Turtle cities, to a time when the earth was ruled by the Four Great Ones. The sacred orb was carried by their human subjects across the world. The orb would absorb a portion of their life force, and this sacrifice was offered to each of the Great Ones in a yearly cycle, keeping balance and harmony in the land.

Order was kept for thousands of years, until one day when one of the great spirits, the Cosmic Phoenix, grew dissatisfied with the meager offerings the humans gave him. He and his followers, the Gan Jin Tribe, demanded human lives be sacrificed. When these demands were refused, the Phoenix retaliated by dropping a meteor onto the earth, creating what would become the Si Wong Desert.

Having had enough of the Phoenix’s wrath, the other three Great Ones fought him in a battle that changed the world. Using the sacred orb, the Mountain Liger and his subjects, the Zhang Tribe, defeated the Phoenix, driving it into the depths of space. 

In order to redeem themselves, the Gan Jin were punished with carrying out the ritual alone every year in order purify the Phoenix’s influence within them, lest they incur the wrath of the spirits once more.

While the myth would be lost to time, the Gan Jin and Zhang tribes would remain bitter enemies for centuries to come, hostile towards one another for reasons long forgotten.

Thousand of years passed, and the sacred crystal orb would continue to absorb more power long after the rule of the Great Ones ended. The fate of the orb would be decided in the tragic tale of the twin brothers Wei Jin and Jin Wei...

My prrrrecious....
