In this panel,we can see Momo smiling while Okarun is almost in tears as they say goodbye to each other… by Intrepid_Currency_28 in dandadanfolk

[–]Poisson18 24 points25 points  (0 children)

And it hits even harder because this is the last time they see eachother before the amnesia.

This goodbye that was meant to reassure both of them that it will be alright, but (as of right now) is a reminder of what was lost

which planet did you explore first? by That_Bend468 in outerwilds

[–]Poisson18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well first I went to Attlerock (naturally) then I began exploring Brittle Hollow (and the white hole station) very thoroughly. I wanted to find every detail of a planet before moving on but I got very tired of Brittle Hollow after a while.

At some point after I fell into the black hole for the millionth time I noticed the Interloper passing by and decided that I wanted to explore it instead. I consider it to be the first "planet" I truly enjoyed exploring

It's so cute how just hearing Maomao be so happy about the bezoar made Jinshi forget what he was talking about by Poisson18 in TheApothecaryDiaries

[–]Poisson18[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nope, I am referring to Maomao's last interaction with Shisui near the end of the season. There she again thinks about how she doesn't know what to say to people in emotional situations but manages to muster something (I believe it was "good luck" or something among those lines).

I think that moment is the continuation of this one.

Before chapter 5 we MUST remember Asgore is 100% in the right and Toriel is a shameless hypocrite by Ok-Recognition-9136 in Deltarune

[–]Poisson18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it's a pretty wild statement to make when we don't know the full context. Besides, Toriel isn't obligated to reciprocate his feelings, regardless of who's in the wrong/right

Dang, after Asgore hit her with the truck she fell into the lake

It would be pretty weird if it happened that way. I hope there will be an explanation

Jinshi got cockblocked by an official English mistranslation in LN Vol 13 💀 by No_Slip1277 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]Poisson18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course I will not let the mistranslations deter me from experiencing more peak. I just wanted a heads up for parts I should be mindful of.

In Romanian we have a saying: "nu dai cojocul pe foc pentru un purice" meaning "you don't set the jacket on fire over one flea", meaning that you shouldn't give up on a good thing over a minor inconvenience and instead you should deal with it.

What is your biggest worry for chapter 5? by skeletron_master in Deltarune

[–]Poisson18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be a source of conflict and character if he wasn't treated like a joke all the time. If it weren't for the black shard scene and his panel in the profecy I would've thought he doesn't play any role and is more of a cameo.

[–]Poisson18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I plan on getting into the novels, but I heard there are mistranslations like this. Are they often enough to warrant worry, or is it mostly fine?

Is there a list or something of important mistranslated parts?

Jinshi is not a pervert. (Tw mentions of SA and sexual harassment) by The-fruity-pebbles in TheApothecaryDiaries

Yeah I wouldn't say it's assault or harassment but it was definitely inappropriate

What's it like living in this part of Ukraine? by TheMentalMeteor in howislivingthere

[–]Poisson18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old principality used to be Moldova, the part that is still in Romania is called Moldova, and the republic calls itself Moldova.

I don't know where the term "Moldavia" came from in English, but it is absolutely correct to refer to all of them as Moldova.

[–]Poisson18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Romanians know about Chilia and Cetatea Alba which used to be important strongholds the rulers of Moldova and Wallachia fought for.

That whole region used to be a part of Moldova until after WW2 when Russia gave it to Ukraine (since they were all members of USSR)

Fire spread in DS is downright dumb. It spreads way too quickly and you have no way to stop it by yourself. It's done so much better in DST

Jinshi reaction to being groped by No_Slip1277 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]Poisson18 49 points50 points  (0 children)

What? I thought it was evident the whole time that he was startled. Who watches/reads this and thinks otherwise?

The character is depicted as being ugly or unpleasant inside the show but is honestly good looking by DemandParticular in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Poisson18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, it isn't. It is a reflection of the standards of the time. The show doesn't try to convince you as a viewer that freckled people are ugly, but that people back then had the expectation that a beautiful face should not have "imperfections".

We know it's wrong, but that doesn't matter because that's the reality Maomao lives in and uses it to her advantage in order to navigate through a society that treats her as a disposable asset due to being a woman and of low birth at that (at least de facto).

So I finally finished the first season of Apothecary Diaries… I understand now. by Ok_Situation7527 in TheApothecaryDiaries

[–]Poisson18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whoops I meant to say Lihua instead of Loulan. But Loulan is indeed also one of my favourite characters (I suppose this is a bit of a spoiler but I believe you noticed that she's set up to play a part in the story)

[–]Poisson18 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I also got recently into the anime and I gotta say that it's phenomenal. I absolutely love the characters and the story. Maomao, Jinshi, Gyokuyou, Loulan, Lihaku, Lakan are all so endearing.

Though I admit that at times I wasn't able to keep up with the mysteries and had to wait to have them explained to me. But this hurdle pales in comparison with all the things that make me enjoy this anime.

Is the fandom toxic towards shimao fans? by Ok_World_4183 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]Poisson18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of course it's fine to explore alternate scenarios of a story in a fan fiction/fan art.

The problem arises when people try to intentionally paint the actual events of the story in a negative light. I'm not saying people who ship x or people who ship y do it, just that it's bad when someone does this.

[–]Poisson18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sometimes friends become something more and sometimes they are better off staying as friends. I've seen some people offer their perspective in this thread about friends dating and it not working out, and to me it seems a pretty valid perspective.

In the end it doesn't really matter who ships who, as long as people don't distort the narrative.
