Idk if anyone has noticed yet, but here.
It's in Japanese though
This is the thread for the Original Sin Story: Punishment novel, specifically to discuss edits to the wiki and make sure we're all on the same page.
Price is currently translating the novel on this blog.
(I'm not an admin anymore, but I thought it'd still be nice to start a thread.)
I'm rereading MoTHY, currently at the part where Nemesis reunites with Arth- she mentions the whole "People with the same face come in three" thing and that got me wondering, was it ever explained why it's like that? I know Hansel said something about it to Allen in the SCaP story but I don't really remember if he actually explained it or just told Allen the same thing that Nemesis said to people who were wondering if she was Gumilia.
Title. I'm thinking maybe Miku because I thi k she's just easier to use than a lot of Vocaloids. Maybe Rin since thats Mothy's favorite Vocaloid so he'd probably want to learn how to tune her as best he can? I genuinely have no idea :/
In a sense which Vocaloid do you think he's the best at tuning overall and you like him tuning because of that. I acknowledge most of you will probably be biased ever slightly so :/
Yo'
I used a spanish translation to craft a wobbly translation of a japanese song. Some of these are probably real bad, (especially those marked with a question mark), but I thought I'd share them regardless for people like me who just want to know what's going on at least a little bit.
How much further must we go
to reach the world we desire?
When this aimless journey ends
What will we receive?
Respect her, honor her
our great mistress!
Aid her on her journey,
that is our duty.
It is time to let the chaos lead, (?)
leave our bodies behind and become beasts.
Either with sharp claws or black wings,
for the sake of our mistress' ambition.
I shall accept it, and because of that
today we will also move on.
This lovely trip
is just getting started.
The theater that flies above the skies
serves as a castle, or maybe a ship.
The one who installed the black box
is the incarnation of the mask.
The twin rabbits, the black bird,
the bear and also the blue dog
all declare their loyalty to the mistress
and accompany her on her journey.
The dead have started hunting
to find food for her,
to find sacrifices for her,
to find the other one of her. (?)
I shall accept it, and because of that
we will cross through different worlds.
The new possibilities
they are waiting for me.
What is it you crave,
why do you chase after us?
Ghost of Malice.
Something that became so pure,
that it did not accept its own death.
Ghost of "Ma."
Transcending through time and space
the karma of evil is not over yet.
I shall accept it, and because of that
today we will also move on.
This lovely trip
is just getting started.
I shall accept it, and because of that
we will cross through different worlds.
The new possibilities
they are waiting for me.
This is not a serious translation attempt, I have no idea what I'm doing. But I hope it can still help anyway. If you have a better interpretation, which let's be honest, you do, feel free to correct me on these.
Mothy is apparently releasing an album on August 27, called E.A.T. Prologue, according to the Japanese Apple Music website. This thread is to compile and keep track of what we know about it so far.

So! Now that everyone is Shook from the Original Sin Story novel, it's a good time to look up and take notice of the fact that mothy's series actually has a lot of mature content on it that should probably be tagged/warned against, especially considering there are a lot of fans who come in from the Vocaloid fandom which is imo more kid friendly on the whole.
I figured this thread was just gonna be a matter of settling on what media pages should be tagged and how, but MoonlightAbsol has brought up that there's more than just a matter of what we personally feel should have warnings on it, but a matter of Fandom's Terms of Use to consider as well, especially in regards to the way it's been affecting the Vocaloid and Vocaloid Lyrics wikis. Also you're right it was the Vocaloid Lyrics wiki I was looking at where the Venomania song page is still there
I admit I'm not well versed on that, though I have looked over the Terms of Use before (it didn't discuss in depth how to handle mature series content > >;) I'd figured we could adopt the Vocaloid Wiki's standards of tagging explicit content and leaving any potential NSFW content off pages.
Thoughts? Any insights from people on wikias more immediately affected by this?
Basically I wonder what you guys’ favorite EC characters are and why?
For instance, my favorite Evillious character is Levia because I absolutely adore her character development. She was both Elluka Clockworker and Nemesis Sudou who are both super interesting.
Commented by Tobimisa:
yooo, I'm pretty sure the person trying to change the trivia point is doing it because of, well, the obvious negative connotations with hitler combined with the fact that nemesis really Does have multiple inspirations. the line from the manhatten project is front and center in the master of the hellish yard, and it's a big part of her destroying the third period. and the destruction of the third period tying into the destruction of the first period with the implications of nuclear war is, a big deal in the re_birthday truth section of heavenly. if the choice is between the two then the manhatten project is the more thematically relevant option
nemesis's name is derived from a jewish god and she's both born elphe, an outwardly marginalized race within evillious, and is naturally Mostly jakokuese/fantasy japanese. it's in poor taste to compare her to hitler so bluntly, especially while actively censoring mentions of her other inspirations when they're more prevalent.
I recently discovered to my horror that akunomusume.com was dead. Oh no! Luckily the pages are still alive at archive.org, just like they are for akuno7.com (RIP...) Which brings me to my topic: should we link to archived versions of the websites on pages or the "live" ones which are, um, dead? Also while we're here I'm gonna bring up again that I found an archived version of the site for Screws Gears and Pride with mothy's prose intact if anyone wants to do something with that.
(also i found a super old website of mothy's that hasn't been updated in like a decade it looks fantastic)
Please see the previous iteration of this thread here for past discussions.
This is basically a thread for discussing retranslating names in the series.This is not intended to be a place to quibble over whether you think something sounds better. This is for when you have an actual reason to believe that a title or name has been mistranslated in the past and wish to have it possibly corrected. This thread exists so that these kinds of discussion won't take up space on other threads.
Do not bring up names that have already been discussed or have solid sources. For example, a lot of the names in the Story of Evil had their spellings clarified by fanbooks and tweets, so there’s no need to retranslate them, even if they sound awkward. Same goes for things like “Gift from the Princess Who Brought Sleep” and “Evil Food Eater Conchita”—yes, they are not quite accurate translations, but they’ve been solidified by mothy and agreed upon in wiki discussion.
The general criteria I would recommend is listing the original Japanese, how it’s currently translated, and how you think it should be translated (and why).
I realize that now is a busy time, but I was working on a playlist for non-canon and alternate universe songs from mothy and working out how to classify them on my google doc when I noticed this.
Both wendy and watching us have as much connection to canon as desert bluebird does, but desert bluebird has a page while they don't.
In the Court of Greed album (X) the lyrics for the individual songs are surrounded by the emblem for the country that the song took place in. desert bluebird has lucifenia and wendy has marlon
The Muzzle of Nemesis album (X) has a similar situation. The lyrics page for each song has a small number at the bottom of the pages counting down the years to the end of the third period, with Watching Us being the oldest at -4213 and Master of the Hellish Yard of course being 1
We may not know their exact connection to the series but we know that wendy takes place in marlon and that watching us takes place 4213 years before Hellish and takes place before Blood Stained Switch (who's number is -2012). So they have a connection to the series even if we don't fully understand what that connection is.
So we got confirmation of a new Album coming called EVILS EXTRA
Based on the tweet it's going to contain 12 songs
Some new and some being new arrangements of older songs
Also will include a booklet with a story about Arte and Pollo
I know this is an old issue, but I think it's worth bringing up again. I was thinking about it earlier today because I found it somewhat strange that we've been approving ichika's fan art for character icons while the art itself would never be approved for use in a wikia article. the main argument for taking illustrator fan art down before was that it could be confusing, but the fact that some art is canon compliant enough to be used to represent a character as a whole is proof enough that that claim doesn't hold water acoss the board, especially if we were to label illustrator fan art as such.
moreover, I was thinking it over and I find that case strengthened by the fact that there is officially available illustrator fanart not just in official content, but available on the wikia. some of which depict things in a way that aren't exactly canon-compliant this is even sometimes done in the novels themselves, such as praefacio of blue or heavenly
I don't think this:
is less potentially confusing than this:
that's not to say that I necessarily have an issue with either of these things, but they seem inconsistent with the reasoning used to cut illustrator fan art out of character pages when a more even middle ground could've been met at the time
all that said, I think creating an illustrator fan art tab for the galleries would be useful, especially for characters who have very few or even no canon illustrations. though I also think it would be reasonable to limit the illustrations used for these tab (especially for characters that have quite a few more illustrations than others, such as rilliane and allen), even if that'd mean limiting it specifically to ichika illustrations as her art is generally considered closer to canon than most
I'd be willing to create and organize these tabs myself if this gets approved and any potential limitations are decided on
With the release of the Outlaw & Lychgate short story, it seems that the Torture Tower series is indeed canon to EC, being the parallel world that Amostia (the Punishment boy) travels to. I thought it would be prudent to start a thread on the series so we could all collate our information on it, and see how it all relates to Evillious.
As always, let's keep our replies concise, civil and productive.
mothy jsut announced on twitter he will release a novel called "Outlaw&Lychgate" on the vomas event the 28th. And next week he will release a new song sung by Meiko

Hello everyone,
I had understand that mothy is reading a book about the Original Sin Story.
I want just now is that real or not ?
Thanks for answer ^^

So as it stands, there are two (coding-side) things about this wiki that irk me immensely - the infoboxes and the reference tags. The good(?) news is that I've coded solutions that fix the coding problems (read: pet peeves) that I hope you all implement. If not I guess I'll just leave then.
In regards to references - it is common practice on other wikis to group identical references together. If you did not know, we do not do this, leading to really long reference boxes with this in it. Also I don't like how we don't link to the article on the material.
This could be fixed manually by adding a name attribute to each repeated reference so that duplicate references are grouped together, and also by adding a link, which I assume is pretty easy to do. However, I would like to propose a template to help keep sources consistent and do these two things automatically. I have created a basic template with examples over here.
Another thing is that a few(?) years ago Wikia - sorry, I mean Fandom - introduced portable infoboxes which allow for CSS styling and easy portability to mobile without it looking like a mess. This wiki does not use portable infoboxes. I understand they can be daunting to style, but I spend too much time working with CSS so I already did it. This also helps with the problem of having the same 20 lines of code repeated every two lines in the infobox template to help color the infobox based on the character since we can just make an additional theme instead to add the colors. Right now my page looks unawesome to everyone else but me because it's all styled in my personal CSS, so I've attached an image of what it looks like on my end with the CSS applied.
Naturally to implement this we'd need someone with CSS editing privileges to adjust MediaWiki:Wikia.css, so this is more of a daunting task.
Anyways. Feel free to ignore me or berate me or whatever if you think my ideas are stupid. Many of my ideas are stupid. I want to think this isn't one of them. Thank you for reading. I'm going to go back to watching Project Diva PVs on repeat now.
This thread will be used for fans to discuss The Daughter of Evil light novel series, including information, translations, and chronology. As a reminder, please be respectful in your replies and keep them relevant to the discussion.
