All righty! Pinned thread here we go!! Below is a giant list (that I'll be regularly updating) of the projects I've done or worked on!
Had this Korean soup packet lying around that I didn't really like. It was way too sweet.
So I added a cup of water, some chicken stock, soy sauce, msg, white pepper, seaweed and noodles
And mmm! Its so good 🤤

When you're done with all the noodles in a cup noodle, don't get rid of the broth
Toss in an egg or two, beat it, then microwave 1.5-2minutes
You're welcome

I caved
Air Canada is cancelling a bunch of their flights (ongoing strike). I got nervous and booked with West Jet too for almost double the price in case our flight gets cancelled.
I'm going to need to pick up more work to save my wallet... if anyone is looking for a translator, I'm totally open 😢

VIZ Media quietly added an AI-translated manga to their app and hoped no one would notice. We did.
Manga deserves better than cheap, soulless automation. This is a betrayal of translators, fans, and the art form.
We don't want your AI translations!

I got permission from my lovely editor so I wanted to share a few cool things I got to do with Love in the Palm of His Hand volume 1!
This is one of the most unique experiences I've had. I did a TON of research into JSL and the hard of hearing community!

Also putting these lists together made me realise that all my favourite 18+ BL are all translated by Adrienne Beck, Christine Dashiell, or @azurephoenix.bsky.social! So a shout out to ALL the smutty localisers out there but especially those three 💜

Getting into the Japanese media translation industry, especially for manga, is a lot harder nowadays, but here are some resources for translators, letterers, and editors

Dunno about translators, but when I TL I take on a lot of the emotions of the characters (which is why it's a tad bit hard for me to translate a character I can't empathize with [very rare. only happened once])
Which also means I cry a lot easier when I'm translating 😂

Project management is super fun and cool! But sometimes I just want to ram my head against a wall when trying to come up with plans to target unique projects
But the overwhelming feeling when facing unique challenges can be super fun and interesting too... At least it keeps things rather interesting

We're still trying to figure out why Nyx is barbering. We did an ultrasound yesterday and the vet called me with the results: a big fat question mark.
So she asks if he's not eating, losing weight, lethargic...
I turn around and see him stealing one of the bright red strawberries I just washed. 💢

This is 100% true, and more reason to avoid using machine translation in official releases of manga.
If you can get machine-translated and badly lettered manga for free... why would they want to pay you for something of the same quality?
