just some instagram doodles about things that make me chortle heartily… i have a lot to say about all of these but i think my favourite thing that came to mind was:
“watch out francis! don’t invade russia! your supply wagons are too slow to support your poorly disciplined troops and winter is nigh. oh no he can’t hear us he’s got airpods in! dieu du ciel!”
In the new World Stars chapter, one of our translators explained that in the first couple panels, Aerica is speaking like a hardcore otaku and using a sort of archaic-samurai/ninja style of speaking called "gozaru".
Being that Aerica (in reality) was founded by sci-fi nerds and will reference sci-fi series like Star Wars, we ended up giving his dialogue some Yoda speak phrasing lol
Interestingly enough, I searched a little about how Yoda speaks in Japanese, and this Reddit post came up, with a note saying that in Japanese Yoda uses correct syntax, but an archaic vocabulary. So I think our choice to convert it to Yoda speak turned out to be very fitting!
fraternal.
also some quotes that plagued my mind while i was making this:
“Night, in which everything was lost, went reaching out, beyond stars and sun. Stars and sun, a few bright grains, went spiraling round for terror, and holding each other in embrace, there in a darkness that outpassed them all, and left them tiny and daunted. So much, and himself, infinitesimal, at the core of nothingness, and yet not nothing.”
-- Sons and Lovers, D.H. Lawrence "We're no longer young men. We've lost any desire to conquer the world."
-- All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque
Guys, shut up about the Hetalia discourse, theres something more important to talk about

Sometimes you simply must draw your comfort character from when you were a teen, and that is that.
