I know 人生はHell

somehow i got caught up in this weird rare pair ship …shinsou/monoma *////* HFAHHSDFA comic under cut vvv

beautiful.

What this list is: fics in which Norway is written with a phonetic accent. How it came about is this:

Onlyacoffee mentioned liking it when people write out Norway’s accent. In canon, he is written as speaking in a dialect from the Tsugaru area. When it comes to English-fandom writing, occasionally people write this out as a somewhat rustic, possibly old-fashioned way of speaking.

I thought I’d throw a few recs up, not necessarily for that one user, but since it’s on my mind. … It’s only a coincidence that all the ones I can think of right now are Sweden/Norway.

*When the Sixth Day Comes - Sweden/Norway and 1814. It’s long, and it’s excellent, and I’ve re-read it I don’t know how many times. And everyone has really, really sexy accents.

*Bathroom Break - Norway/FemSweden and a quickie between meetings. Pretty much plain smut, but I think they’re both characterized wonderfully here. Also, accents. Short.

*Beach Comber - Sweden/Norway and a quiet, romantic interlude. Short, but the dialogue is there, and it has beautiful atmosphere.

*Beach Comber II - … That quiet interlude gets a bit steamy. In other words, porn. Dialogue is spare, but Norway still has that lovely, lovely accent.

This’s a SuNor classic, and honestly, it’s one of the best fics I have read with them - so I wanted to spread the love, since I saw that isn’t linked on here. … It’s also quite long! Read this one when you have some time on your hands.

Title: When The Sixth Day Comes

Author: (Anonymous)

Summary: Sweden, Norway, and 1814. It’s the Napoleonic age, and that means messy business on all sides.

Pairings: Su->Fin, DenNor, SuNor

Length: No wordcount. Let’s say novella-length.

Rating: 18+ for sex and whatnot

Svorsk: It’s Complicated a Sweden/Norway mixtape

SuNor is 98% angst, 99% coffee, and in need of a mixtape. This mix is in mainly English and French with some Swedish and just a splash of Norwegian. And of course, Eurovision favorites.

Saezuru Drama CD 4 - Bonus Track Translation Part 2

~ The Shinseikai Group on a Party Boat Cruise ~

Part 2 of my translation of the bonus track on the fourth Saezuru drama CD, this time featuring Amou being a low-key asshole, Misumi throwing a tantrum like a five-year old, an exhausted Nanahara, and Sugimoto rising above worldy matters in post-enlightenment bliss. And Ryuuzaki, well Ryuuzaki will probably still be chasing Yashiro’s ass on his motor boat when Yashiro turns 100. The end.

Disclaimer: Cursing, vulgar language, possibly poorly translated punchline. ;3

In case you’ve missed Part 1, you can find it HERE.

Misumi: “Hey, Amou!”

Amou: “Yes, boss?”

Misumi: “I can’t seem to find Yashiro’s party boat. Are you sure this is where he’ll throw his birthday party today?”

Amou: “Oh! I am very sorry. I only remembered just now that the pier from where we were supposed to get on board wasn’t the one in Odaiba* but the one in Asakusa.”

Misumi: “Oi! Amou, you bastard! Don’t tell me you did that on purpose!!”

Amou: “Well, unfortunately it can’t be helped now, can it? Let’s just have a private little celebration here instead.”

Misumi: “What the hell are you talking ab…?! Hey, don’t you dare open that bottle! That is a superfine, exclusive wine that I purchased solely for this occasion!”

Amou: “Well, what else are you saying we should do now? How about you have a quiet drink here and go home afterwards? You have some important business scheduled tomorrow first thing in the morning.”

Misumi (furious): “We’ll go from here and catch up with them!”

Amou: “Eh?”

Misumi (yelling): “Hey, Captain, bring us straight to Asakusa!”

Captain: “Uh … sure, but I’ll have to charge you extra for that …”

Misumi: “I’ll pay any price!“

Amou: “Boss, stop it, please!”

Misumi: “Shuddup! I’m never again going to listen to a single word you say!”

Amou: “Are you a child?”

Misumi: “Yeah! Exactly! A child! Got a problem with that? Fattyyyy!”

Amou: “Wh…?!” (sighs)

Ryuuzaki (still screaming): “Yashirooo!! Hey, brat! I’m telling you to move away from him!”

Doumeki: “No, we mustn’t wake him up.”

Ryuuzaki: “What was thaaat?! Come here and say that again!!”

Nanahara: “Suddenly I feel so exhausted … What did Ryuuzaki even come here for today?”

Sugimoto (giggles weakly): “Oh, by the way, certain persons who would usually show up around this time don’t seem to be coming today.”

Nanahara: “Right, now that you mention it … Well, not that I mind. It’s much more peaceful this way.”

Sugimoto (energetic): “Yes, it is!”

Nanahara: “And now tell me … What is ‘THAT’, Sugimoto?”

Sugimoto: “Err …”

Nanahara: You said something about Ryuuzaki doing ‘THAT’ and Doumeki doing ‘THAT’ too, didn’t you?

Sugimoto (peacefully): “Uuuhm … Somehow, it doesn’t matter anymore …

Nanahara: “Huuuh?! Don’t leave me hanging looking all enlightened as if you’re the one holding the key to the secrets of the universe!!”

TL notes:

Their canon relationship is SO interesting to me. Like, Kakashi seems to trust Yamato and his abilities so thoroughly that he relies on him without even giving it another thought. It’s almost like a reflex. He trusts his team to him without blinking, he doesn’t even pay attention to Naruto’s training despite the fact that he could transform into the freakin’ tailed beast at any moment because Yamato is there and he’s clearly got it…it just seems unparalleled to anyone else in the series except Gai.

The funny part about that is that Kishi seems to have dropped the character after a certain point, which makes one want to diminish his importance in the series automatically. But in the new Naruto Gaiden series, Kakashi basically states that Yamato is “on it” in regards to a new threat (or Sasuke…I didn’t really understand the conversation) which means that despite Kishi seeming to ignore the character, Kakashi still depends on Yamato like TWELVE YEARS later. And if he is, indeed, referring to Sasuke…that’s a big freakin’ deal. Sasuke is kind of incredibly powerful -and kind of an asshole. So not only is he strong, but he’s hard to deal with. I don’t know about anyone else, but I think that’s pretty telling.

Not only all of that, but Kakashi also seems incredibly comfortable around Yamato. Take this for example:

When this happened, I sat back in my chair and was like “wow what the…when does Kakashi ever get that close to people?”

When does he, though? The only other example I can think of is when Gai gave him a piggy back ride to Konoha because he was too weak to stand. The only OTHER example is when he carried Naruto because HE was too weak to stand. But, on a regular basis, he just doesn’t. Not in the manga, anyway.

There’s also the fact that Kakashi mercilessly teases Yamato, to the point where anyone who cares enough to pay attention or analyze it will question whether or not he’s flirting. It IS in his personality to tease people, for sure. But, when you combine the trust Kakashi has for Yamato and how comfortable he is around him with his merciless teasing, it kind of makes me want to grin a little. CLEARLY Kishi isn’t actually insinuating anything is going on, but that’s why I find their relationship so confusing. Kishi creates this character with SUCH history with Kakashi, creates a rich friendship between them, and then disregards the character for like 400 chapters. I mean…Kishi forgets about characters all the time, but still. Why did he even bother doing it?

Also, and I have a feeling only KakaxYama shippers paid any attention to this scene, when Yamato and Kakashi were trying to explain chakra combining to Naruto during his training Kakashi REPEATEDLY shared inside looks with Yamato. Like, every time Naruto said something stupid, Kakashi would shoot Yamato a look like “ugh, do you see what I have to deal with?” and any time Yamato did something impressive, Kakashi would stand there looking all proud and not at all surprised, like “Yup, he’s a badass.” And any time Kakashi did something impressive, Yamato would do the exact same thing. I mean by the end of the two episodes I was just gob-smacked. It’s like they were both enjoying the other person showing off. Like they are both so clearly proud of each other it gives me cavities.

That entire interaction is incredibly washed down in the manga, though. To the point where this is the only thought they share:

The anime seems to LOVE embellishing their relationship, to the point where they insert scenes of the two of them having “moments” together which makes me and many other shippers basically 100% sure SOMEONE high up on the SP scale is a serious KakaYama shipper.

Although. Does anyone notice Kakashi loves whispering things to Yamato?

Just for a refresher, Naturo was standing like…on top of a freakin’ massive waterfall WAY too far away to hear them if they were just casually talking to each other. Whispering was unnecessary. Also:

Why is Naruto sleeping so far away from them? Did he feel like a third wheel? >:)

One last thing:

This scene is probably one of the most well known “moments” between them, but usually one where people realize Yamato idolizes Kakashi. But, what does this scene say about Kakashi? He may be a bit of a dick sometimes, but he isn’t usually the kind of person to take advantage of others. When I see this scene now, it feels like Kakashi is showing off. He clearly knows how Yamato feels about him, and I think he’s proud of it. He is showing off the power he has over someone who is powerful themselves. He never would have done this to someone who was truly beneath him, or significantly less intelligent than him. I think it is a huge ego-boost for Kakashi that someone like Yamato will get that flustered over him. You can probably REALLY read into this and say it’s almost a possessive act. Like “look how much power I have over him. He’s clearly mine.” 

….

OKAY ONE LAST THING SORRY

Holy shit. I didn’t even realize how huge this was until now. Kakashi designed this entire training program knowing that he was 100% depending on Yamato to keep everything together. I don’t think Yamato had any idea how big of a responsibility this was until he actually started training Naruto. Kakashi is right that they dont have a choice but to try this, but imagine how much faith he has in Yamato to form this kind of a plan and actually put it into motion. What would they have done without him?

OKAY ONE ONE MORE THING. SORRY I KEEP FINDING SHIT.
