Time to read Case Files yippeee
gonna read the manga, rolls into comick
will I remember all of these characters, who knows!!! I'm about to find out!!!
my boy waver really let loose when he's at home
oh Reines I can't wait to learn more about you
oh we're talking about angels after I just finished speed reading oc4
BRO THEY WERE SO ALIEN LIKE IN OC4
they're so precious
WHY ARE YOU SO PATHETIC STILL AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS
waver cannot read
oh it was gray
NVM
add my funny little cube
funny lil man
I feel lost but that's ok!!!
murder mystery time!!!
these translations are so silly
oh the king arthur reveal is in the first arc??
UWAAAAHHHH
UUUUUUU
WAVER BABY
i'm jumpscared by the past
SVIN IS THAT YOU??
what an entrance to make flat hello
CLOSES MY EYES
TOUKO MY BELOVED!!!
OHHH
looks at the state of case files translations post vol 3... closes my eyes
waver your fashion evolved
pookie!!!
THERE'S SO MUCH YAPPING
WHAT REALLY??
oh I'm learning so much, I wish I was taking notes but I think I'll go back after I'm done binging
how much history did sanda history to get to this point
sanda loves nothing more than a good info dump
i love case files/adventures to bits but a lot of it is info dumping LMFAODBKSNFKWBD
i need the info dumping for dummies sanda, i'm just gloss over walls of text IN A MANGA
touko noooo
flat baby
THE DUALITY OF SVIN IS SO FUNNY TO ME
bro why are you so obsessed with gray's scent???
I AM SO CURIOUS
but I will find out sooner or later
HELP
THE OBLIGATED BABYSITTER
oh this guy
JUST WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT BARITSU
it’s not explained in the manga but basically it’s him projecting his trauma on gray
FLAT GETS IT!!!
BARITSU!!!
to be fair, he’s... right, in a way. the bad thing is that he and gray have a whole miscommunication thing going on bc svin is (gestures) too forward and gray thinks he hates her ass and wants her dead
think of him like a a badly socialized german shepherd
we love miscommunication
flat does his best to shame him to direct the attention onto himself LMFAO
he also cares for gray a lot too, he was the one that showed her around london when she first moved
cute
oh to be waver with 65468548674 leashes on these teenagers
oooooo the magical suitcase
Flat just popping up in a middle of a battlefield
thank you for telling touko how to make easy money
Flat is fighting a cat, ah yes
Touko's suitcase
it's so innocent
TOUKO JUST KICKS FLAT IN THE FACE
touko my beloved
man the world of mages is so wild i love it
god this is one of my favorite waver moments
I like this beauty arc
omg it's saber
you should have listen to him because you died before you even step foot into the playing ground
ok time to clean up and go home
I too, will cry
I finally meet you, laser eye girl
thia rolls his eyes
just shoot lasers out of your eyes thia
girlie i need you to chill
thinks about the moon cell and how it's often dub as God's Eye
closes my eyes as i absord all of this magecraft lore into my tiny brain that i will never use
thank god hakuno is not a mage
me, who has a lem2 muse: 
you are stronger than me
servants? historical figure? no problem!
a magus, ahaha nope
ok that's a lie
honestly, it’s... not as hard, partially because my special interest is unfortunately the occult, but also because there’s a lot of stupid connections you can make for lectures
i remember a whole lecture i did where i used marvel as an example
ooo
it also helps that the modern occult is honestly really fucking stupid but that’s a can of worms i am not opening here
I SEE
well, i guess in the world of nasuverse, if it makes sense somehow, anything can work
THE HAKUNO IN ME IS RATTLING HER CAGE
oh there she is
god, me too waver
Death Perception mention, Olga sit down
but which shiki mention
Ryougi or Tohno
or both
I KNOW MIKIYA SHOWS UP
sir are you ok
i see you are just fine
melvin? always fine.
I love hot women
HELLO??
OH I SEE OK
oooo saber in suit
oh waver your trauma in this chapter 
starts wheezing
i love gray
she's literally a baby
the problem wirh the manga is that while it’s a pretty good adaptation, it misses the fact that it’s actually told from gray’s pov
so you miss a lot of the sass that she has in her narration
you can't be a type-moon protag of sort without sass
I GUESS THAT'S ANOTHER LIGHT NOVEL FOR ME TO READ SOBS
and also her looking at every other female character she sees and waxing poetic while every time she looks at a male character shes like “theyre there i guess”
DLKJEOA
she's so valid tho
liek she had a like page long internal monologue about her feelings on reines getting married off to someone in the future. i know what you are, gray
gray, honey baby
WAVER!!!!
ah yup that's the baby waver i knew
ma'am, your chest
Toh Azuma, your artwork is nice but sometimes it's
questionable lol but other than that, I AM REALLY LOVING THE ARTWORK FOR THE MANGA?? PLUS QSH IS PRETTY SO
GRAY IS JUST SNOWBOARDING TO THE TRAIN OK
oooo
we just keep carrying trisha's head around like it's a crystal ball
HELLO??
hehe
TWO CAULES?
my brain is turning into mush but i must continue on because I WANNA KNOW
dr heartless ok
man everybody wants to join the holy grail war except for hakuno herself who is just there by accident and won
FAKER
A MAGICAL DOUBLE
I'M INTRIGURED
OOOOO WAVER
this whole page is golden
friend in japan
is it hakuno-kun
screams
the mental damage done to me will never be heal
i know who you are
I have caught up with the manga
wtf do you mean gray was supposed to be dead
but that is osmething I will think about later
closes my eyes
do I dare read the light novels now...
later
I feel like, me now, would just gloss over text like no tomorrow
uhhh
okay
im gonna be very honest, the english translations for lns 6-10 are..... nnnnot great.
OH BOY
op was basically translating them from chinese into english, and neither of them are their first language... and neither is japanese
OH NOOOO
and they tend to put their translation notes right in the middle of the text
this is a long shot but uh, do you know chinese HSLFJWLFNNRFO
I do not know Chinese but my bestie is one and we have seen horrors
CLOSES MY EYES
like they have improved significantly since starting adventures but basically their note in the case files translations was more or less like “sorry im not cleaning these up until way later”
yeah
LIKE IF YOU KNOW JAPANESE I THINK I CAN FIND THE PDFS TOO BUT. melts and dies
it’s so bad i just translate the bits i care about myself lmfao
LOL, I wish my Japanese was a bit stronger and I should probably go back and study again but alas, time
well, I shall suffer another day with LEM2
im forever mad because they took the term for flat and svin’s combo (the twin jewels) and translated it as juggernauts??? when a quick search in any dictionary gives you this 
soooooOoOoOoOo
to be fair im not good at jp either but i can usually understand a good chunk.... that isnt waver info dumping
JISHO IS FREE TOO
they got better but
translating from jp to eng is so much easier because i know chinese has a lot of slang language that's just
thousand yard stare
yeah idk man. laughs
well, i shall suffer or maybe I'll just read a summary instead and call it a day LOL
LMFAO i think summaries in BL started from adventures onwards but like
yyyyouuu can kinda get the gist from the translations, i just. wheezes
SUCKS BECAUSE VOL 6 AND 7 IS THE GRAY CENTRIC ARC
I KNOW, I WAS SO EXCITED TO LEARN ABOUT HER AND NOW I JUST GET THE (T/N: ???? ) TO BREAK MY IMMENSION
but for my new daughter, I will break through
1 through 4 are fine tho like. those are a-ok
me showing my chinese bestie:
her:
her:
I WALK AWAY FOR TWO MINUTES AND I GET SO MNAY MESSAGES
oh i love learning language
I love Chinese writing sometimes because it's very pretty and poetic
anyway this is becoming a language plurk, I shall read the light novels when the time comes
ok one last one because this is killing me
GENERATIONAL TRAUMA
