excuse me but... what's figaro's lines to heathcliff's mom...?
"Happy Birthday, Heath. I think I may have mentioned this before, but I’m really into your looks. Think you can introduce me to your mom?"
It's a line that caused a lot of controversy in the JP section of the fandom and it was ultimately removed iirc? Yet those within both halves of fandom bring it up, it's become something of a meme associated with his character
What has been the most difficult thing to translate? What about your favorite? Thank you for all the TLs you have provided too
of course!! ❤️I still have much to learn, but, I am always happy to try and provide the best that I can for fellow fans of this series. it truly has meant a lot to me!!
as for the most difficult ... if I go with things I never opened to the public due to many having hand with it ( and I also really adore @milcery's dedication to completing them both and making them public; they did an incredible job with it ) is 4th anniversary. had a small little tl in a discord server and went kind of ham with it up until the final 4-5 chapters in which I just summarized because it got tediously long and I didn't want to keep chugging out the maximum effort for something that was purely for friends. if I went with something I made public, I'd say it's figaro's valentine card as I hadn't read the event in full just yet and was nervous about messing up a naming scheme that was blatantly stated there lol
as for my favorite- I think southern fantasia remains my most favorite thing to have tl'd. I got the files about a week or so before the event was public from a friend, which is why I was able to get it out so quick. sure, I use machine support, but I still slugged away at that for a week before anyone else knew the contents of the event and, to this day, it's still something I'm really proud of for pushing through. I just got really impatient and wanted everyone to see the event for what it was since it was one that made me feel endeared to lennox as a character when he typically doesn't get much that makes me care for him
top five white ships too, now GO.
so 😐 funny story, you'll love this.
whitejulian; this is my best friend's mhyk wizard oc, but, their dynamic is funny and I still giggle at the thought the first time they met it forced white into his true form at how much magic was exuding from julian. julian is that soft, sweet-voiced kind of character who you think would be a bottom but is, shockingly, a top and it's a dynamic white guns for to be spoiled and loved.
whiteoz; similar to my reason for snowfiga, I like seeing a man so pathetic, but the difference is the pathetic one is white having to contend with whatever he's feeling and behaving in any normal way.
whiteowen; the one who did not stay dead and the one who can never die :) I think they are fun and should talk more canonically. white's also defended him and his pride once in northfest and I've never stopped thinking about that moment
whitebradley; smth smth jailer and prisoner, toxic relationship damned to fail but the sex is good
whiteshy; I think they're both terrible and deserve one another
top 5 figaro ships. GO!
golly, oh geez, let's see how much I'm capable of typing.
ozfi; I think this has, ultimately, become my top?? I go back-and-forth with what my top figgy ship is due to mood fluctuations and sometimes I just want the man to be happy even if he makes that near impossible for himself. doomed relationship aside, I just think they'd have one of the better chances in the long-run at reaching a conclusion between one another.
figafau; this is a different breed of damned and doomed, but they are soft like mashed potatoes and I care about them both and the manner with which they care about one another but are horrid at showing it to the one involved. figaro should behave like a whipped puppy more is my point.
snowfiga; I like seeing a man get put in his place. which man that is, in this scenario, is up to your interpretation :)
figashy; the will-they, won't-they, neither of us are getting with the person we love so we might as well find some solace in one another hits so good that I am not normal about them. I read whatever work they have and they're all this same beat and it soothes me in some manner.
figaowe; h
other ships that aren't top 5 but still mean a lot to me are lenofi, alefiga, figamurr, and the quadrple polycule of figaro/white/oz/snow
noah, look at me. :)
