Basically, what I'm saying is that Gwyndolin is a non-binary trans woman and an Empty Spaces girlsnakegodthing (this is why her counterpart in moonlight in *Elden Ring* is a plural dollgirl who is really into death and knifeplay and hangs out with wolves) who isn't out to the world at large but chills with her girl friends while they all struggle with identity and self-perception issues in a land that the gods have long abandoned, landlocked by the knowledge of how the world perceives artificial changes to life and anything either *strange* or related to their designated enemy of the dragons and draconic (especially since her family kills and locks those away) and still choosing to bear the responsibility of taking care of the other girls around her. And that also makes Aldrich a chaser? I think?
one of the things that i can't realistically accomplish but yearn for the means to every day is the ability to reach into everyone's brains and remind them that words are social and contextual. not surgical, not fresh out of dictionaries. you can't translate things, you can't /understand/ things, if you only think of words as independent blocks that only assemble when being read. dictionaries only exist because people want to have a reference, but everyone uses them as a prescription not just for what words /are/, but what they /can be/. language is always swimming under the surface of institutions and running along out of earshot of the dictionaries that chase it and try to pin it down. contexts exist outside what people want to admit for words that have baggage to them, because there are the words-as-used and the words-as-invented dimensions to language. there is the word that exists in one culture and the same word—the exact same word!—that exists differently in another. and culture, too, is fluid. why did the author use these words {why did the author choose these words as an individual, why did the author choose these words within the wider context of the culture they exist in, why did the author choose these words in the context of the piece as a whole} ? why did the translator choose use these words { why did they use the phrasing, spacing, order, specific meaning, why did they use one phrase over another, why did they coin a new term or stitch two together } ? translation is not an inherently neutral concept, it is an action. there is no One Singular Correct translation for everything, and to call things mistranslated because they don't match the exact dictionary meaning you found on some website, stripped of all other context, is ludicrous.
The theme of *Don't Move Too Much* was "From excessive connection to a-Meaning-ful severing". Excessive connection, from the point of view of this book, is the infinite ambiguity that is the source of Meaningful Meaninglessness. And the "a-Meaning" in "a-Meaning-ful severance" is Meaningless Meaninglessness. By severance that is **Meaninglessness without Meaning**, one slips out from infinite ambiguity—this is, in other words, the finitization of Meaning.
orbit sitting down with "agitates me beyond reason" displayed on the monitor" the text reads "<= it just spent an hour trying to figure out why the tablet scaling broke but it turns out that having two monitors is evil and fucked up and the driver doesn't recognize that the other one is plugged in if it isn't turned on but what if i don't want it to be turned on all the time and the best part is this probably isn't even a linux issue because tablet drivers are like printers they just kind of do whatever they want"
"No matter how the net of image and language is constructed to enwrap something, there will always be some aspect that slips through and is left behind in the process. The Real stands on the other bank, across the river from where Meaning gives rise to infinite Meaning; it is Meaningful Nonsense.[^11] Incidentally, the construction detailed above also bears much resemblance to Kant's Transcendental Idealism (超越論哲学). To borrow Kant's words, what we are aware of is "Phenomena", and beyond that is an "Object-itself" (物自体) that we cannot gain knowledge of.[^12] Lacan's The Real roughly corresponds to this Object-itself of Kant's. Kant said that it is impossible able to speak of things as they really are, and redefines philosophy as something that attempts to analyze how humans conceive of things. This places transcendental idealism in an equivalence to early modern philosophies.[^13] As of Freud's influence on psychoanalysis, there is also introduced the dimension of "Sex"[^14]which poses the question of whether a subject possessing subconsciousness experiences sexual thoughts (essentially, is desirous towards) things. Looked at this way, psychoanalysis is the successor to early modern philosophy. (1) On one hand, we can say provisionally of something that "this is this"—I shall term this "Finitization of Meaning". (2) However, that same something is both infinite and ambiguous. This is because within any something is always hiding the Meaningful Nonsense, The Real."

(1) On one hand, we can say provisionally of something that "this is this"—I shall term this "Finitization of Meaning". (2) However, that same something is both infinite and ambiguous. This is because within any something is always hiding the Meaningful Nonsense, The Real. The rain of Meaning continues falling toward all things. It does so because there is a deep hole there. Drawn along by that rain, Meaning emerges. The rain of Meaning is something that absorbs Meaning into the drain.

"Okay, so, English is pretty Cis. This is where the core of the disconnect comes from, and why it is so incredibly difficult to explain anything."
There's a specific type of image that I really enjoy. (image of pukeko DAMNATION meme, image of a bunny on a printer captioned Happy Monday! Let's give it our bunny nothing) Gifs, emotes, a bunch of options. (image of a scrungled owl shape) Sometimes it's a friend's creature. (image of a cat being held up to the light, image of a dog on a couch) That's it. That's all I want to share. I just really like when animals are Shaped and get into places they shouldn't be.
footnote 8: "非意味的切断"—Not Meaningless 意味がない nor Nonsense 無意味, but the negation of meaning applied as a quality. Hence, a-Meaning-ful, to keep it in line with the rest.

Left side: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" Right side: "What does it mean, that it is always easier to speak in roundabouts, that the human shape is one that feels donned only that {I} be recognized as one who bears a sapience? Truly, do compare me to the summer's day, for whatmakes the {self} seems more of a scene than a body. Representation fails. Representation fails. Recreation and rendering fails. Understanding is not possible; only its failure is." Left side: "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

(start heading) 2 (1) Interpretive frameworks of Sexuality[9] (end heading) Before we begin analyzing interpretive frameworks of Sexuality, first, a review of prior research. Ishida Hitoshi uses the following categorization: "In our current time, the nature-related subjects that make up 'Natural[10] Diversity' are Biological Sex, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity—elements of identity treated as 'innate', and defined as exclusive categories" (Ishida, 2006:164). Within movements fighting against homosexual discrimination, this framework of Gendering (ジェンダー化) accentuates the framing of Sexual Orientation as something immutable and innate.
A footnote marked "3" reads: In all cases that "Nature" is rendered as a proper noun within this translation, it represents the kanji "性" with the intended reading of "The nature of an individual". This is a term equivalent to both "sex" and "gender" in English in different measures (used for both "Sexual Orientation" 性的指向 and "Gender Identity" 性自認, among many others), however, it also equally holds the meaning of "nature" as in "the nature of an individual" (**not** implying naturality in either social expectations or from an evolutionary lens) *and* "-ness" as a suffix-equivalent to apply to other vocabulary (e.g. 自明性 "self-evident-ness", or "self-evidence")—there is no one English word for this that I am aware of, hence it is compressed to a capitalized version of the meaning with the least inherent skew.

one question that came up during this is: are bad translyrics a better translation for a song than properly translated lyrics that can’t be fit to the rhythm? It’s a bit of an answerless question, but it’s very much worth thinking about. I think the point is sort of a third opposite to moot, the way people talk about love, hate, and apathy. It’s not something that has a good answer, because to claim that poor translation on rhythm is better includes saying that analyzing the meaning line-by-line is worse, and they’re truly just different. One happens to be possible to sing on the melody, but they’re both equally falling short of what they could be, and to judge that in any greater depth is a case-by-case thing.

An excerpt from the article linked in the post quoted. "Amazing. No notes. So yeah, I don’t talk about localization. But I guess now is as good a time as any. I guess I don’t have much insightful to say. I take the original line and extract its meaning, then try to process how the character would verbalize it, with just a hint of that jaggy PS1/PS2 “flavor” to make concise, memorable lines that the player won’t just mash through. Other than that, it helps to have the entire context of the game in your head at all times so you know when things should be called back to and you know exactly what the player is doing and what their needs are at any moment. The goal is to make the English player feel exactly the same as the Japanese player reading those lines. So yeah, normal stuff. My heart goes out to anyone that relies on localization for their livelihood."
