母語ではないが、日本語オッケーです。   She/her. Old enough to remember VHS tapes. Call me Aqua! I write fic and scream about things. Yu-Gi-Ow!, Pocket Pikas, Fire Shield-Medalion-Thing, and Fullmetal Alphonse, to name a few.

Welcome to Fire Emblem Hell (Gradlon Edition)　・　FEの地獄ブログへようこそ！

Hi, there! I speak both English and Japanese so feel free to ask or DM me in either language! 英語も日本語も話すのでどちらでも話してくれても大丈夫です！少しあとで日本語のようこそメッセージを書きますのでそれを読みたいならこのポストの下に見てください。

I go by Aqua! I obsess over Nintendo JRPGs, especially Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, and Pokemon. I love anime, my longtime favorites being Fullmetal Alchemist and Shaman King.

Favorite characters include but aren't limited to: Alear (male preferred), Robin (both!), Azura, Chrom, Marth, Alfred, Ivy; Roy, Eliwood, Rex, Mythra, Pyra, Nia, Morag, Eunie, Taion, Shulk, Melia; Alphonse Elric, Edward Elric, Envy; Tao Ren, Asakura Yoh, Usui Horohoro, Lyserg Diethel, Joco McDonnel. I also have an OC named Delilah who is my daughter.

Favorite Pokemon include: Rowlet, Gallade, Decidueye (esp. Hisuian), Piplup, Scorbunny.

I'm also an avid fanfic writer with a ridiculous amount of WIPs as TheTacticianAlchemist on AO3.

You may have found some of my work as Mod Rose on the ages old chrobinprompts blog, and I'm also a mod for chrobinweek.

I also have done fan translation for mankin-trad for Shaman King: The Super Star and & a Garden (since taken down; go read the official versions or check out Patch Cafe to learn about the series!) and fan translation/subtitling for Shaman King 2021 with iPatch Subs (on hiatus). I'm currently a professional freelance JP->EN translator.

While I do tag NSFW, I don't consider this blog to be SFW so do be careful.

grace plays pmd2 on the way to erid and names the hero and partner after himself and rocky.

the ending makes him cry so hard that rocky thinks he's fucking dying.

[defendglobe]

grace gets even MORE hysterical over the ending to special episode five.

i mean. the guy was forced onto a suicide mission to save the world, had to learn to be brave about it, and ended up miraculously surviving. he's definitely gonna see some of his own situation in SE5.

since there is such an "english speakers who don't even try to pronounce a foreign mame correctly" epidemic, native english speakers often try to overcorrect and end up thinking they have a moral imperative to pronounce every foreign name correctly at all times. so i'm gonna hold your hand and look into your eyss as i say this: you can't. you can't pronounce every sound in a language you don't speak. and that's fine. it happens to the rest of us too. we won't be mad so long as you try your best.

“I did some research to pronounce this name correctly” = 👍 great! even if the pronunciation was still off (and learning to pronounce a foreign language correctly takes a lot of practice) people generally appreciate it when someone goes the extra mile for accuracy, and honestly, languages are cool

“I’m probably not saying that correctly”/“sorry for my pronunciation” = 👍 understandable! foreign languages often have sounds that aren’t used in English and learning to correctly pronounce unfamiliar phonemes is genuinely difficult even with help

“lol I’m not even gonna TRY to pronounce that 😂” = 👎 THIS is the problem, if treats languages other than English like they are inherently ‘weird’ or ‘overly complicated’ just because you aren’t familiar with them

“One thousand apologies for my butchering of this beautiful effervescent tongue, I will now flagellate myself as punishment for my crimes” = 👎 chill

[unsolids-your-snake]

My favorite thing about fanfic authors is they can identify any gap in a canon timeline where characters are offscreen and exploit the ever living fuck out of it

They see a time skip of any length and go
