In italian the translation was done well, but they changed the original concept of the dialogue: While Makino tries to get them to say "Hello, what's your name?" Ace keeps on saying "I am Ace! Who are you?", which in Italy and probably everywhere else in the world is kind of unpolite, but not too much. When Makino tells him that that's wrong and not a polite manner of speaking, Luffy corrects him with " You have to say "Who THE HELL are you?" which in Italian is even LESS OKAY. The funny thing is that Ace does not use an even worse correction of the phrase, but he just rolls with Luffy's correction, repeating it to Makino; making this seven year old little boy the bringer of chaos in the conversation. Which, to me, is adorable.
I’m kinda curious how they translate this joke in English, actually, because the comedy in Japanese comes from the fact that Ace and Luffy just straight up SUCK at choosing appropriate ‘you’ pronouns. Makino is TRYING to get them to say ‘hello, what’s your name?’ but neither of them can think of an actual polite way to say ‘you.’
Ace starts with teme, which is so hostile it’s essentially a swear word, and Luffy tries to correct him to omae, which is less rude but still really not polite (and also what Luffy uses to address literally everyone in the present), and then Ace tries onore, which is less commonly used than teme but ALSO super angry/derogatory.
I'm late for the thursday, but not for the crying.
It's Thursday, you know what that means! *Cries over a podcast that ended weeks ago*
[Start ID:
An animated sequence inspired by a JonMartin post by @archivistbot
Jon and Martin are sat down, Martin with his arms wrapped around Jon's shoulders and Jon in his lap.
Jon is a bespectacled skinny Indian man who is wearing a puffy-sleeved blouse and long skirt., while Martin is a fat white man in a cozy turtleneck and who is also wearing spectacles.
Captioned next to him is the word "It's..." as he lifts his hands in a shrug-like gesture. He then pauses and brings his left finger to rest under his nose, thinking. After the hesitation, he continues with his palms open for emphasis "...hard to put into WORDS how it feels...", and drifts off as he dips his head in shy laughter. He looks up endearingly at Martin, who has rested his cheek on Jon's head, eyes closed and a contented smile spread across his face. Jon rests his left hand on Martin's arm, still hugging onto him, and closes his eyes to savour the moment as he says "...to be in Love.".

"I have to say it's...it's wonderful."
I Did!! A Thing!!!
I saw @archivistbot's post and decided to animate it to pass the dread hours. Here's some fluff before the final blow.
Good luck to all of us.
I teared up more than once just thinking about:
1. The Podcast ending
2. The cast being unhappy in general
3. JON AND MARTIN ARGUING (because one loves the other too much and the other does too but he's "noT GonNa DoOm tHE WoRld ovER It")
4. Yeah, Jon, in season 1 you really were a fucking dick, UH? OH! What's that? The sound of all of those mutual pining fanfictions that I wrote in my head just shattering??? Oh, cool.
5. "And I'm glad you've got him"
6. "Can I have a cigarette?" AND JON FUCKEN LAUGHING. UGH, GOD, SIMS, DON'T GO ALL "Oh, hey, remember that?" I OBVIOUSLY REMEMBER, I'VE BEEN HYPERFIXATING ABOUT Y'ALL FOR THE LAST MONTH.
7. The fact that I love Basira so much.
8. Jon feeling so guilty that he felt the need to try clear Elias's name.
9. ThE oMiNoUs fUcKInG tHiNG aBOUt tHe lIGhtER.... I dOn'T kNoW whAT iT is yEt bUt I jUsT kNoW tHaT i'M gOiNG tO cRy beCAuSe oF iT.
10. And the horrifying theories that sprouted in my head like the flowers in Jared's flesh garden.
i’m in the middle of bum fuck georgia on a trip and all i want is some big ass slasher man to burst through the woods and b(eat) my ass
That's not healthy for me guys, that gave me and heart attack, I love her so much-
As you may be expecting, I am going to ignore all of the shit that has been happening out of The Lonely.
Am I freaking out about Basira and Daisy? God, if someone hurt the two lesbians I would destroy them and then myself.
Am I shocked about Elias' bullshit? Yes, I may spend the rest of the afternoon posting about the fucker.
Am I emotionally ready for the last episode of the season? Absolutely fucking not.
But, hear me out...
*on the verge of tears* t-they said they love each other.
anyways I thought it was fitting
It is Wednesday, my TMA dudes...
AHHHHHHH-
Jonathan Sims, you skeptical little archivist, I love you so much but stop discrediting every statement you come across.
martin "I have had to lie about much of my life in order to get by and at some point I just started adding stuff for fun" blackwood and sasha "there's no such thing as a true self, it's masks all the way down" james and jon "well if people get funny when they find out my age then I'll just tell them a fake one from the off" sims sharing a workplace with tim "what the hell is wrong with you people" stoker must have been a treat
