Anyways EIGHTEEN LETS GOOOOO

Have some ferret drawings!

Anyway just recently got into Wings of Fire(I've only read the first arc so far so no Arc 2 spoilers please😤)

Have some doodles of my favorite character

"Consumption and betrayal"??? "Skepticism and blind devotion"???

Nahhh get me that "Dejection and discomfort"

Nah but like this shit is so cruel it gets you a red text option lmao. Like damn, after all that, you just leave me to bleed out in the basement???

Something I noticed about the Princess is that her hair is relatively wavy. And most of the vessels' hair are relatively similar to the Base Princess.

However, what got me asking this question was looking at the Beast's hair(or mane?). Her hair seems much straighter than the other vessels. It could just allude to her warm and wet environment, or like the oily hair of a Beas, but idk.

There's also the Witch/Thorn. Her hair has much more volume to it, but I can't decide if it a different curlier hair texture altogether or if it's just how it is unkempt.

Notable examples are the Spectre, her floaty form making her wavy/curly hair much more obvious, even though the Wraith's hair seems straighter, there's also the Razor and her pointy waves.

This could very well just be me reading too much into things and it might just be drawn in a way that fits the moment lol, but either way what do you guys think?

The Pristine Cut really taking the Fury from being my least favorite vessel to "OMG I LOVE HER" status and I respect it so much

OK So, I touched on the Narrator last post, but as we know, His true identity is actually that He's an

Again, English word. He is what's left of the guy who made

The Long Quiet 永遠のうつろ[Eien no Utsuro] (Eternal Hollow)

永遠(Eien) means eternity, forever. うつろ can mean cavity/void/hollow, like the physical endless space of nothingness of the Long Quiet. But it can also mean something blank/empty/vacant/hollow, in reference to expression, voice, heart, stare, etc. Like how the Long Quiet's character blankly stares at the Princess with "hollow eyes(うつろな目)" in the Princess and the Dragon. People can be described with having a blank face as well(うつろな顔), which I assume TLQ usually has on. In the Heart of the Shifting Mound, when asking the Princess what she'll call you, the harsh Princess will call you "Hero", the JP version keeping that with 勇者(yuusha). But the soft Princess shortens your god name "The Long Quiet" into just "Quiet", to which the Voice of the Hero responds "I guess that's always been us, hasn't it?" In the JP version, she shortens 永遠のうつろ(Eien no Utsuro) to just うつろ(Utsuro), again, meaning blank/hollow. The Long Quiet uses the first person pronoun 僕(boku), in similar fashion to the Hero, Broken, Opportunist, and Hunted. Out loud to the Princess, he refers to her with 君(kimi, "you"), which has far too many nuances depending on context. But to name a few, it can be used to someone of lower status(like a condescending boss to an employee), between people considered close, and in writing to give more literary/poetic feel. Also may be associated with masculine language, although not exclusively masculine.

Ok your other half

The Shifting Mound 変化する塊[Henka-suru Katamari] (Changing Mass)

変化(Henka) means change/transformation. It's also the word used when the Narrator says she is the concept of Transformation itself. 塊(katamari) means lump, or mass, I'm guessing this is their translation for "mound". Though 塊 can also refer to a group/crowd(of people), which definitely fits the Shifting Mound's appearance. In a similar fashion to the Adversary, EotN, Fury, and Wraith, the Shifting Mound uses 1st person 私(watashi) and 2nd person お前(omae), that + her argument style, she can come off as demeaning and "above it all". When the vessels speak in her arguments, they use their respective pronouns. Also in the "leave with the Shifting Mound as gods" ending, when she says "I love you", the text is in English. The font isn't even the same as the English version, she just says "I love you." in English. I'm not sure the significance of it, cuz in the other endings like the "Leave with Princess(heart of shifting mound)" endings, the "I love yous" are translated "愛してる(aishiteru, "I love you")", "私も愛してる(watashi mo aishiteru, "I love you, too.") So I don't know why TSM specifically says it in English.

Ok, I don't remember if there was anything else I was gonna type. Soooooo I guess that's it for now. If y'all wanna know something specific about the JP translation like a line or joke or anything just lemme know and I'll try and find it/explain it.
