i wish i could wave a magic wand that blew up anyone's computer the second they tried to express the sentiment that having an interesting enough character dynamic makes a straight couple Queer somehow
My gift for AO3 user EternalLibrary, who requested Irene and Helen's evolving relationship throughout the series, which I looooooooooove. Their circumstances originally positioned them as enemies, but they have so much in common---young princesses elevated to queens in a tumultuous world of men, struggling to keep their small countries alive and independent through whatever means they can. Eugenides, on the other hand, probably thought everything through in meticulous detail except for the fact that he was UNITING THE ONLY TWO WOMEN ON THE PENINSULA WHO ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT PUT UP WITH HIS SHIT
i DON'T need them to kiss i need them to come to the sobering realisation that their souls are merged and no part of them is extricable from the other anymore

I'm noticing some interesting choices with regards to pronouns in Laura Pohl's translation of All Systems Red. See, in Portuguese we don't have object pronouns like "it/its" and neutral neopronouns like "elu/delu" are considered more analogous to the English "they/them", so gendering Murderbot the way that it is gendered in the original was always going to be tricky. There's also the other difficulty that adjectives are gendered in Portuguese, so whenever Murderbot describes itself or it's emotional state or anything, necessarily it was going to gender itself grammatically in some way. What this translation does at first is that the Murderbot's internal dialogue it genders itself in the masculine which I assumed to be just sort of defaulting Murderbot to be a masculine character, but in reflection of a different detail, I think it's just defaulting to this formal almost archaic notion of the masculine as neutral. Now, the detail that made me rethink this is this line that I just came upon of Dr Mensah's:
"UniSeg, preciso que você fique parada aí até eu chegar."
[SecUnit, I need you to stay still (female form) until I arrive]
The reason that Mensah is referring to Murderbot in the feminine in this case is that it's referring to it as a security unit, right, and the word Unidade, Unit, in Portuguese, is a feminine word. So I just went back now and I found one other previous instance in which characters refer to Murderbot in the third person and, Ratthi, he calls Murderbot by masculine pronouns but that's when it's being referred to as a robô, robot, which in Portuguese is a masculine word. So I guess the way that Pohl found to express Murderbot's object pronouns is by just using whatever pronouns are in agreement with the word being used to describe it. Which to be fair makes a lot of sense for treating objects in Portuguese. If you call something a cadeira, chair, you're going to refer to it with feminine pronouns, but if you call the exact same object a sofá, sofa, you will be using the masculine pronouns.
okay I just realized the reason Murderbot refers to itself with masculine pronouns in its internal dialogue all the time is because it's referring to itself as a robô assasino, murderer robot, which is masculine okay this is kind of genius actually
hey, translator here! (: this was absolutely done on purpose. gendering Murderbot would always be a problem, so I, the copyeditors and the brazilian editors worked together to make sure that bots/constructs could be referred with both masculine/feminine pronouns, sometimes even in the same paragraph. same goes for ART in the second novella, who's also an It in english, but varies between nave (ship, femine) and transporte (transporte, masculine). it's an important detail and i'm happy it was noticed!
How to watch Legend of Hei in the original Chinese audio with English subs
YouTube version of trailer
In honor of Movie 2 coming out on July 18, here’s a guide on how to watch Movie 1 (and the series).
But first, some context: The 2019 movie is actually a prequel to the flash animation series, which first came out in 2011. And the world of Legend of Hei is so vast and complex that there’s even a prequel prequel manhua of the story, which is set hundreds of years of back. (The manhua is called Lanxi Zhen, and it has different protagonists.)
If you want to engage with the story chronologically, then the order is: manhua -> movie 1 -> series. But you don’t have to do that. In fact, I myself don’t read the manhua because I couldn’t get used to Xiaohei not being there.
Movie 1 can be watched on its own without any context from the series and the manhua, and I think going into it blind would actually be more enjoyable. We don’t know yet what events will be covered in Movie 2, but I’m guessing it’s gonna pick up from where Movie 1 left off. I doubt it will cover the events in the series, so it’s probably safe to put off the series until after Movie 2. But if you do decide to watch the series, then just Season 1 should do for now, since it’s pretty much slice-of-life. Season 2 is where it gets more plot-y.
(Watch links under the cut!)
Edit (Nov. 6, 2025): Links have been updated!
Movie 1
It’s available in Netflix (and apparently Crunchyroll) with English subs, but I honestly don’t recommend it. Netflix literally translated the characters’ names into English, and it’s so cringe 😩. I also compared the Netflix subs with some fansubs, and the Netflix version really took a lot of creative liberties in the translation. (There are also English and Japanese dubs available on Netflix, but I am begging you to watch it in Chinese)
Here’s a link to the movie with English fansubs. Download the file and play it in a media player that can open .mkv files with soft subtiles, like VLC. The file has two type of subtitles, one labeled [Troy] and the other labeled [Netflix]. Make sure you’ve selected the former.
Series
Here’s a GDrive folder link containing all episodes of season 1 with English subs in 1080p. To watch, just follow the same instructions under Movie 1.
If you don’t wanna download, you can also watch it on YouTube. Here’s a link to all S1 eps combined into one 720p video.
By the way, each episode in the series is only 5-8 minutes long, so don’t be surprised that it’s too short.
Series (Season 2)
Although the fandom calls it season 2, it’s actually just a continuation of the ever ongoing series. “Season 2” just covers episodes 29-40.
S2 has no official English subs, but this channel on YouTube has fansubs of all the eps separately.
However, I prefer the subs in this combined version because it’s more complete and accurate

Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?
"I can't do this, Jeeves. I would not survive. If I have to go to Madeline's Mindfulness Seminar every week, you will see my position advertised on the listservs by the end of the semester. What is mindfulness, anyway? Does she not use her mind otherwise?"
"I have often thought that Professor Bassett's approach to scholarship differs from your own in important ways, sir. I fear your collaboration would be unproductive."
"But I can't back out now. You know how keen the Chair is on what's-its-name."
"Interdisciplinarity, sir?"
"That's the ticket. Seems to think our mission in life is giving poets Erdos numbers."
"Nevertheless, sir, it occurs to me that if your course section were rescheduled to fill the slot currently occupied by Professor Little, you would be unable to participate through no fault of your own."
"But why would they be switched? Not that the old bean isn't one to help out a pal in distress, but he was desperate to wangle that slot."
"Circumstances have altered, sir. It transpires that Dr. Banks, whose day is almost entirely occupied with first-year writing seminars, takes her lunch break at just that time."
I felt as if the sword of whoever it was, the fellow who had the sword hanging over him, had been taken away. "Write the email, Jeeves. No, emails: one to Bingo to switch the sections, one to Madeline telling her how awfully sorry I am I can't go to her seminar."
"I have already done so, sir." Jeeves opened the windows and showed me.
The emails were masterly. "All done out of your own head, too, I suppose!" I commented.
"Yes, sir. I have never felt the need for artificial aid in composition."
"You're a marvel, Jeeves. The dining hall must be pretty nearly out of fish."
