Hell-o! Marie-Eve here. French Canadian and proud of it! I will read the book in French, so HEAR ME COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TRANSLATION! (They translated Crowley's name, imagine?) Main fandoms (apart from GO) : Assassin's Creed, Doctor Who, Sherlock, a little Supernatural, Once Upon A Time, American Horror Story and others I forget. This is a bigger version of my icon. I don't like to show my face so here's my cat (its name is Chat)(yes, I know that it is French for Cat)(no I did not name it after I read GO just to make a joke, but I was soooo happy when I read that Adam named his dog Dog!) Oh, and I read soooo slow, so I may not catch up with you, but as long as the forum threads are still opened, I will comment!

Adorable cat~ Naming animals after what they are is pretty funny! Also rare, I guess since there was a time when everyone was super uncreative.

Adorable cat is super precious! Oh goodness, I remember hearing that Crowley's name was translated horribly, but I forgot how bad it was. Stay strong! I know you can read past the pain!

sepherene, I have followed your blog fuckbitcheskilltemplars for (I think) 1 year (you were one of the first blog I followed on tumblr) AND IF I AM EXCITED FOR AC3? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!
Here is how they translated Crowley's name : Crawly = Rampant (which means crawling) Crowley = Rampa (which means crawled) And if you are French, those names are not pretty to say compared to the english version... I know the french names are logic, but still I don't like it...

Oh gosh really HAHA its a small world after all. I've been meaning to change that url but I haven't been able to think of any good Good Omens related ones I like more than that AssCreed one. People still think I post lost of AssCreed because of it though..........THEY ARE SORELY MISTAKEN. Ahaha yessss Connor is going to be awesome. Can't wait to hunt and stuff in the game. Very excited to see the environments.
Wooow. Rampa. That's...really mmm I was going to say "Why couldn't they just keep it Crawly and Crowley" but I guess then people wouldn't get the joke of him changing his name (unless they know English). Baw that's dumb. Is Aziraphale's name the same?

Yes Aziraphale is the same, mostly everyone is, except the horse people and Dog, they translated those too...

Man, that's pretty weird how they translated it. At least they kept Aziraphale the same.
If they did, would they just translate it to be more flamboyant?
Also, they translated the horsemen and Dog? Aw, c'mon! Dog is Dog!
