Sunshine Challenge 2021 1:1 Hades.
Jul. 14th, 2021 10:10 pmAs I mentioned in my recent posts on my "School Timetable Experiment", I intend to take part in the Sunshine Challenge again this year.
Now, the first thing I thought was that I'd draw, but... the first image for the challange is taking longer than I wanted, and then I had an idea. One that will help me get more immersion in korean.
So I'm basically doing the challange twice.
One will be a fitting translation of a korean version of a song I like, even if the korean version isn't the original/my favourite. My translations are NOT going to be the highest quality, I'm going to be using dictionaries a LOT during this and missing subtleties, grammar things and idioms left and right.
And the second will be a fitting art.
And now for my first filling in of Hades
"Prompt 1: Hades
Hades is the god of the dead and the king of the Underworld with which his name became synonymous. Despite modern connotations of death as evil, Hades was actually more altruistically inclined in mythology; his role was often maintaining relative balance between the realms. He was often depicted as cold and stern in his judgement, and he held all of his subjects equally accountable to his laws. Above all else, Hades ensured the finality of death and that none of his subjects ever left the Underworld."
The song I have chosen is "Hated By Life Itself" by Kanzaki Iori.
Listen to my favourite version (in the original Japanese) with english subtitles here (suicide cw, also the singer of this cover has an official video but I don't like the translation of it as much). I do recommend watching this version first to see it unbutchered by me.
( And now my translation of a translation. )
