Heads up that the Purity Town comic blog is currently shadowbanned; on top of posts not appearing in tags/search I can't access the inbox or chat. Not sure what caused it, but I sent in a support request so hopefully it'll be resolved soon enough!
mais en français ??????
Anyways yeah instead of paying attention in class I decided to translate the second half of Birth to My Creation from Frankenstein: A New Musical into French for fun. There are certainly some lines that are more clunky and weirdly translated as I tried to keep somewhat similar to the original syllable counts and rhyming scheme and couldn’t think of a better translation, but lyrics are under the cut:
French Lyrics:
Prométhée a volé le feu des dieux Il a osé sauver tout l'homme Et tout comme ce mythe- Ma mission délimite Et écrit un nouveau demain!
Mes années d'études sans fin ni pause Se termineront par cette tempête Le monde sera changé par la médecine et mes enquêtes
La vie éternelle… réanimation… La mort j'asservis La plus belle œuvre de toute la science Le corps, les os, l'esprit
Le zénith de la tempête est enfin là, Et avec ma préparation Un choc nécessaire à son coeur pour faire La vie de ma création
La vie éternelle... réanimation... La mort il asservit La plus belle œuvre de toute la science: le corps, les os, le-
Ce jour qui vient a battu les ténèbres L'aube des plusieurs révélations Ici et maintenant... j'ai provoqué... La naissance d'un nouveau sauveur!
Un sauveur
Un sauveur
Un sauveur-------!
English Translation:
Prometheus stole fire from gods He dared to save all of mankind And just like this myth, my mission defines And writes a new tomorrow
My years of study without end nor pause Will come to end with this storm The world will be changed by medicine and my inquiries
Eternal life... reanimation... Death, I enslave The most beautiful work in all of science The body, the bones, the mind
The peak of the storm is finally here And with my preparation A necessary shock to his heart to make The life of my creation
Eternal life... reanimation... Death, he enslaves The most beautiful work in all of science The body, the bones, the-
This coming day has defeated the darkness The dawn of many revelations Here and now... I have facilitated... The birth of a new savior!
A savior
A savior
A savior-------!

I am not a song writer nor a translator and I didn’t want to stray too far from the original lyrics even though song translations often change things around a whole bunch, so take this as a fun little side project, not anything serious. There are some things that bug me (I really wanted to keep “La vie éternelle… réanimation…” since it fits so nicely but “La réanimation” was too clunky, so...)
There are some other lines where it’s like “this is a weird way to word this, but the rhyme...it’s so sweet” which I’m just going to stick with. I was also trying to go for wording that didn’t require referring to Victor as a member of mankind -- it’s the birth of a new savior, not our new savior -- without explicitly referring to Victor as a god himself. That said, I was also thinking of savior as in the Christianity “Jesus the savior, the son of God” way.
Oh, and since the second “La vie éternelle” segment isn’t sung by Victor himself, I changed that one from saying “I enslave” to “He enslaves.”
Anyways that’s just a bit of my thought process while making this. As stated, some of the lines are...ehhh, so I don’t mind if anyone sees this, steals a couple lines, and then rewrites the rest haha. Like I said, this was just for fun and I didn’t spend very long on it so there’s definitely room for improvement!
This was the first slide of my class lecture tonight and I think it sums up the college experience pretty well
so what youre gonna wanna do is crush the garlic and ginger instead of just slicing it ok, it releases more of those good flavors. yoshi is going to eat me and turn me into an egg now, i love you. remember everything i taught you

(well, I love all NPCs, but I can easilly draw only the guides)
Story idea: The most wanted woman in town has announced that she’ll only marry the one who can open her front door with the key around her cat’s neck. Many men try to hunt the cat down, chase and trap it, but to no avail, the cat is simply too quick, smart and clever, and always finds a way to evade and avoid them.
You are the first one to figure out the obvious: Do not chase the cat. The cat is befriendable. Get the cat to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the cat. You may eventually be allowed to touch the cat. The cat will freely let you take the key.
Secondary plot twist: The woman is a shapeshifter. She is the cat.
Parting words
The most specific drama occurring in my area is that while most people were out of town for the holidays one apartment complex that had been touting supposed upcoming appliance upgrades (even in advertisements to get people to live there/justify rent increases) went into a bunch of the apartments and replaced their (slightly old, but perfectly fine) full-sized fridge with a mini fridge. For apartments with 4+ people in them. And like I’d be pissed as hell if that happened to me but from an outside perspective it’s so funny, imagine coming back from vacation to find that someone made off with your fridge and installed a teeny tiny one in its place
Another animated attack for art fight, this one against user LeoparDusk! An aarakocra who was in Drakkenheim when the meteor fell, being corrupted by it, and eventually becoming the Crimson Countess.
Back in June or so I made a ~20 page document of various Terraria worldbuilding fun and just remembered its existence today. So anyways, had to draw the Guide. Sorry I killed you dude :( you’re still my favorite NPC
