"You held out your hands and blinked in bewildered surprise as she shoved two plushies into your hands. Two identical white spider plushies, to be exact. They weren’t photorealistic, thank god, but they resembled spiders in a cartoon-y way. They also had little fangs, which you reluctantly found to be adorable. The eight eyes were also surprisingly cute."

Hmm hmmm, spiders and weaving, and strings of fate huh

Yep, yep yep! Spider imagery was based greatly by Silksong and the Weavers + Hornet in the game.

Spiders and weaving, tapestries and threads. The loom of the three Fates. I pull from Ancient Greek Mythos too, at times.

#asks <3 #rainy days

okay. so. I might be on the 'include MC in the poly' train rn.

#rainy days #BUT THIS MIGHT CHANGE #I was fucking about with the concept of the 'gods' of the big dipper and realised that she fit in extremely well.

Infold I am seeing positive things about Valko from the ccp/cpc approved media outlets. They're saying it's up to you to release him (and bring back the good feelings towards CN games) so don't fuck this up istg.

#rainy days #it is now said by the CN government that Valko's character is NOT problematic in the eyes of their laws #so come on. bring him back

One thing I really dislike writing in English as a Korean speaker is that to me, English doesn't have the same weight. It doesn't look half as nice + I risk sounding extremely cringy. Let's take episode 66 in ORV for example.

Dokja summons the seven star lords of the Big Dipper. He calls upon each one.

The First star of the Big dipper, Tamlang

The upper snippet is the official translation.

The Korean is heavier. (imho, anyways)

북두칠성의 첫 번째 성군 - 탐랑(貪狼) 성군

is what the Korean version is. Whilst the meaning translates well into English, the flowery-ness/weight of it isn't conveyed well.

For one, the particular constellation is related to dipper in Korean (like most of the world). A lot of East Asia use the root ancient chinese of 北斗七星, which generally translates to 'Northern Dipper of the 7 asterism'.

I guess my translation to convey the weight of things would be:

The First of the Northern Dipper, Tamlang(貪狼).

In Korean, asterism (성군/seonggun:星群) is phonetically the same to wise ruler (성군/seonggun:聖君), but that can't be one to one translated in English.

I'm just putting this rant out here bc I'm making some plans for the fic and I'm pulling from Korean (and maybe general East Asian) shamanism for symbolism and translating shit from Korean has been a bit of a headache.
