Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

So I'm thinking of playing a very flamboyant/ridiculous/camp to the max anime character, and he occasionally shouts out random phrases in English. Typing out his usual 'Engrish catchphrases' in English while rping just doesn't capture the same ridiculous flair that his original dialogue had. There's also no English sub of the series sadly so I have no idea how that would have translated officially.

Do you think possibly translating his random English phrases into another language (I'm thinking French maybe?) would be acceptable? This wouldn't be too often, but once or twice an episode he tends to shout a couple specific English phrases so I'm thinking once in a blue moon. Keeping it in English I think wouldn't really have the same effect as the original dialogue did :|a

ah oops anon fail XD

For the record the character I'm talking about is not Pipit, obviously.

this reminds me of another character who shouts out engrish catchphrases...

anyway, i think you should keep the engrish, but indicate it with italics or some such to point out that this is ENGRISH and normal english. you could also make a point to let other players know about it so that they're not confused.

*and not normal english

That's a good idea actually :|a I hadn't thought about italics. I just want to make sure that people know that a few certain phrases he says SHOULD sound different and a slight change in font would definitely make it look distinctive.

I'll definitely keep this in mind! Thank for the idea anon ♥♥♥
