(apparently the teacher put the drill with the hair and chunk of scalp on a plaque and hung it in the classroom)

sincerely, a person who was told the story of a girl with long hair getting it caught in a power drill and having the drill spin up her hair and into her skull

*whispers* oh... no...

Why not both??

Aw, I’m fine with that! You might want to check with @sonatine too, as Marsh was our creation :D

[2/2] Is it because we're (mostly) following the FMA peeps, so that's why the HP name translations are (idk what the right words are) phonetically translated (Sirius = serious), while the FMA name translations are synonyms (Havoc = Chaos, vs idk have ox)? And why the HP kids killed themselves laughing over Harry's name when Ed said it in front of them?

LKJGHFHJG FMAHP: the sound god makes when hes begging me to stop but also cant stop laughing long enough to enunciate properly 

SO THE TRANSLATION IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE INCONSISTENT partially bc i forget/dont always see the phonetics (somebody pointed out that Grimmauld Place would probably sound like Grim Old Place and i was like [pikachu face meme] didn’t think of that) and partially bc im writing so fast that editing is. Later. it’s later. (ED USES FAHRENHEIT FOR NO REASON AND THEN KELVIN, DONT LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) 

some stuff is based off how google translate works - like, havoc and chaos are synonyms! so the translator “software” is like Oh I Know That Word when it doesn’t actually QUITE have the right translation. Since it’s audio, homophone mixups also crop up - like whore crux. In the case of harry’s name - his first name sounds like Hairy, which i decided in amestrisan translates to like. Hirsute or something. and his last name is Potter - aka, literally, one who makes pottery. The amestrisan word isn’t the same as the english word - hence you get “ceramics professional” when it translates back, like when you run a sentence through google translate more than twice it starts to frag completely. 

(I WAS GONNA SHOEHORN A SCENE WHERE MAES AND ROY SAT DOWN WITH SIRIUS IN THE MAP ROOM AND PUT THE TRANSLATION ROCK FAR AWAY AND WERE LIKE, OKAY, PRONOUNCE EVERYBODY’S NAMES SO WE CAN COPY THE SOUNDS IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE bc roy was like Fuck No i am not embarrassing myself by saying Hirsute Ceramics Professional when i mean Harry Potter, we need to write this shit down) (BUT THE SCENE DIDNT FIT, THATS OK, ITS NOT THAT IMPORTANT, PRETEND IT HAPPENED)

(fun fact i’m basing some amestrisan slang terms off translated russian slang - mostly bc russian is what i’m familiar enough with to use slang from, but also bc i headcanon that between the geography + ethnicities we see in FMA, amestris would be located roughly where Kazakhstan is on our earth map) (shhh i know it’s supposed to be germany or whatever but this works better imo)
