Jason: yeah me and B are on ok terms now,

Dick: oh you guys are getting along-?

Jason: well we’re doing ok, I’m not mad at him anymore.

Dick: thought you wanted him to kill the Joker?

Jason: i did, but then like last week i went to the manor and i saw him smash the coffee machine with a hammer because it didn’t fill his mug enough; and i just don’t think he’d be a good killer.

Dick: *light wheeze* because he broke the coffee machine?

Jason: well it was just- *cracked grin* he gets- he gets angry, you know? and he’s not good at self control? like that machine did nothing and he just destroyed it. and i was just thinking about how, like, he decided that adopting kids was an acceptable thing to do, and now he has like eleven of us,

Dick: *silent cackles*

Jason: like he can’t see a kid without thinking ‘wonder if i can draft this one’. i think if we managed to convince him killing was ok it wouldn’t go well. he’d just keep doing it.

Dick: *through laughter* because of no self control?

Jason: yeah, like once he crosses that line he’d probably step over it at any minor inconvenience. he gets addicted and he gets mad at a lot of things.

Dick: so B shouldn’t kill?

Jason: no.

Dick: but you can?

Jason: well i- *wheeze* i have practice honing the rage, i don’t kill for stupid reasons. *pause* apart from that one time.

Dick, audibly amused: what time?

Jason: i sneezed and accidentially pressed the trigger.

Dick: *loud cackles*

Jason: i felt bad, man, like his cat was there-

Dick: *falls off his chair*

Jason: how are you this apathetic.

Dick: is that where Damian’s new cat came from?

Jason: it’s not like i could just leave it there!

Dick: i thought i saw trauma in it’s eyes. it had that wartime stare.

Jason: the blood spattered right across its fur. i had to bathe it.

Dick: Damian thinks it has anxiety

Jason: anxiet- dude it has more than anxiety, it has fucking PTSD-

I saw that you finished reading tsctir. Did you read the novel in Korea or is there some English translation out there for the whole novel? Found the we took yesterday, and am now totally insane about it. Can't remember the last time I found something this good!

Hi otakuwithlife (I love your username), yes, there are fan translations in English! However, there isn’t a single file of the whole novel yet (except for an unedited MTL that’s almost unreadable), so let me explain below.

Chapters 1–261: You can find them here. The file I originally read only covered Chapters 1–167 actually, but I can’t seem to find that link anymore. However, as far as I can tell, the file at this link seems to be the same translation, updated to Chapter 261.

That same link also includes another file with the translation for Chapters 001–856, but this is the bad MTL I mentioned. Personally, after reaching Chapter 167, I bought the whole thing in Korean and alternated between the two for a while, before discovering the resources below.

Chapters 1–380: sfstranslations is translating the entire novel and also adding notes and interesting tidbits. You need to request access, and the files can’t be downloaded to read on a Kindle, for example, but the translation is good and currently in progress. If I’m not mistaken, this covers Chapters 1–380 so far.

Chapters 350–870: Recently, tele-portal here on tumblr edited the rest of the MTL and shared it <3. I switched to this translation as soon as I found out.

Other translations: lalune9x is also translating several chapters. They’re mostly from the end of the novel or part of the side story, if I remember correctly. Still, they might be helpful to you later on.

That should be it! If you don’t mind jumping between files and/or reading locked translations, you should be able to read the whole story this way.

Hope you have fun!

UPDATE: Side Stories: tele-portal has now also edited the MTL of the Side Stories, so I'm adding the link to this list too. <3 (This is an epub file. Pdf below.)

Not to say that each of the stories describes only one single kind of love language; they are, after all, all novels that focus on Found Family, with many different types of relationships between characters that express their love for each other in as many different ways.

Yet, I’ve noticed how at the core of each of these three stories there is one specific act of love that recurs more than others, and that becomes the true Theme each novel revolves around.

In Lout of the Count’s Family, the main love language is providing food and a home.

“Home” is such an important concept in LCF that Cale collects houses like they were pokemon cards. The source of his trauma when he was a child as Kim Roksu was that he was not given sufficient food, and that where he lived was not truly a shelter where he could feel safe, just a place he was trapped in.

And I don’t think there are ever more than 2 chapters in a row without a character offering food to others, or asking if they’re hungry, if they’ve eaten, why haven’t you eaten, here have some apple pie!!

Cale uses his newfound money and power to make sure his loved ones are provided for. That’s how he adopts bonds with most of his new family.

The first thing Raon does after he’s freed from the prison he’s been trapped in all his life, is to leave food for this hopelessly weak human.

Choi Han, who has lived alone in a dangerous forest for decades, would do anything to protect his home.

The Crown Prince, who has been isolated and untrusting of everyone ever since his mother died, makes sure to always have cookies in his bedroom in case guests “break in” for a visit at any time of the day or the night.

I love you, you’ll never be hungry again. I love you, my home is your home.

In The S-Classes That I Raised, the main love language is words.

Yoojin’s powers are literally activated by telling people “I love you”. Because all he ever wanted was to say “I love you” to his brother one last time.

Because the tragedy that starts the story happens because Yoohyun loved and protected his hyung in secret for years. Silence creates misunderstandings, it creates distance, it leads to loss.

Loving someone isn’t enough, tell them! Reassure them. Remember what they say, because their words are important!!

Ever since the regression, Yoojin always let people know when he loves them and appreciates them. “You’re perfect, you’re cute, you’re so talented, you’re so handsome, you are loved.”

And as the novel progresses, whenever Yoojin is in pain, or doesn’t know what to do, he turns to Sung Hyunje because he needs to be reassured, he needs to know he did well, he needs to hear he is still important to the people he loves.

I love you, please know that I love you! I love you, please tell me you love me back.

And finally, in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, the main love language is time.

Time is one of the greatest sources of horrors in ORV. Eternities upon eternities of suffering, being trapped for ages in the same, hopeless loop, wishing for everything to just stop.

And yet, time is also the greatest gift characters give to each other.

Because the wounds Dokja suffered as a child, and then again and again through his whole life…. They need time to heal. They need so much time. They will probably take forever.

So let them take forever.

Despite how much pain and worry he causes his companions by giving up on himself over and over again, his companions never give up on him. And he doesn’t understand why!! He doesn’t think he’s worth it. But it’s not his choice, it’s theirs. And they will go through as many tries, as much pain, as much time as it takes, before they can finally save him.

Only took months and nearly failing midterms to complete. 😭😭

The first 350 chapters have already been more accurately translated online.

Do note this was mainly just meant for me and my friends so it's not completely consistent esp with the honorifics appearing and disappearing.

(There were previously some loading errors for some chapters. Both links have now been updated.)

( I felt like I can draw it better now that I’ve seen it again hmm )

The very first episode of the series we are introduced to Will Graham, our narrator. Even though the series is called Hannibal, the main character is Will and the series follows him through the events of his life. The funny thing is, the series could have started anywhere. Will's childhood, how he became a profiler, a very important turning point in his life, somewhere during his marriage with Molly, so on and so forth. It could have started anywhere, but no, Will's story starts with the day he meets Hannibal Lecter.

In the end, everything that is shown, everything we see or that is said, loops back to Hannibal. If it's not about Will, then it's about Hannibal. The series starts with a first meeting (which Hugh AKA our romcom king actually called a ''classic rom com setup'') and ends with the supposed ''end'' of their story. Not the end of the Chesapeake Ripper story, not the end of anything else, but the end of Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter. It began with them, it ended with them.

Again I remind you that this story is told mainly from Will's point of view. Almost every part that includes him is about Hannibal, and almost every part that includes Hannibal is somehow about Will. We never get anything about Will's childhood. We never get to know anything about him as a person except for the five year time frame in which the series takes place. Five years where three are not shown. Why? You'd think that if this story was only about Will, we would have gotten scenes from his marriage, from his attempt at healing, from the new home he built, but no. Will rejects Hannibal, and then all of a sudden three years skip by to the day he is pulled back into the darkness. Pulled back right into Hannibal's arms.
