The urge to live free and draw ship art for long standing otps but not knowing if the greater population would accept such odd combinations of fantastical delights once only popular in the ye old trenches of past, or never popular, because widely accepted fandom headcannons have washed away the tide of passsionđ

This is super interesting to me because itâs the first time Iâve ever seen or heard him alluding to the Nandor/Guillermo relationship as romantic. Heâs usually massively over-careful not to label any emotions where theyâre concerned.
I like. Wanna figure out a graceful way to put honorifics in my English writing. And like this frustration is so near and dear to my heart because my first language has a formal/informal tense that is fucking. Impossible for me when I'm writing in English because I so desperately need it there. And it works the same vice versa, I struggle translating English to my native language because when and how do you take a decision to change a text in that way and when is it appropriate?
Ack. It's so. It's so difficult because English is not made for that and for me the swapping to the other language just ruins the sort of suspension of disbelief. It takes you out of the immersion. And when you're translating it's always good and proper and I love it when there's long appendices detailing those things out but when you're writing original/fanfiction that is in a different language than the setting or source work it's just such a difficult editorial decision to make.
I've kind of landed on. When you're writing your own thing you should follow the conventions of the language you're writing in (ie, no formal tense/honorifics/specific conjugations if you're writing in English) but still making it clear within the linguistic context of the setting what it would be otherwise.
This is a nuance that's hard to capture and I don't think I'm good at it yet? This is also why I genuinely feel that all translation is impossible without some degree of loss, like there's always a little bit of the original sense you're going to miss. And that's okay, and I accept that, but it SUCKS as a writer. Like I once wrote a short story set partly in Russia and it's INCREDIBLY HARD to capture the sense of familiarity in nicknames and patronymics in English, even if you just use them straight up. My friend who is a native Spanish speaker INSISTS that magical realism just does not work in English because there's an inherent loss. I can't enjoy translated poetry. It's one of those things.
Anyway all of this is to say I am rocking back and forth on the floor because man writing is so hard writing convincingly within a setting where you don't speak the language is hard writing in your second language is hard translation is hard everything is hard.
Just don't write I think.
Why do people who are not part of specific communities think it's ok to speak for them and say what is and isn't offensive to them and even for people with disabilities like autism adha anything. You do not get to speak for something you are not apart of. If you are not autistic, black, part of the lgbt community you do not get to speak for any of them. You cannot tell me what is and isn't offensive to me a black person when you are a white person. (Also this goes for all races not just black people). And this goes for genders too. But I wrote this bc one time my brother was watching an 'am I the a-hole' TikTok. And it was something about LGBTQ+ and it was offensive. So I was saying yes that person is the a-hole' because that is super offensive. And he told me no it's not. My brother is straight and cis. I am Bi(preference for women) and am gender neutral . And it's like I'm trying to explain how it is offensive and he keeps saying that it's not (not in a rude way) and I was also telling him that he is not part of the LGBTQ+ community so he does not have the right to tell me what is offensive to the LGBTQ+ community. I also said no offense but if you do say something then no one is going to listen to your opinion because you're not part of our community.
